Shise looked at Lin Ye, but she was still not angry. She even wanted to get Lin Ye to follow her.
"There are many animals in our tribe, and they are all very good, better than theirs. Come and see them in my tribe."
Lin Ye took half a step back again: "Miss Shise, I have important things to do. If I have the chance to come here again, I will visit your clan again."
This sentence made Shise's face darken, because she knew that when the beauty said that I would do something like this next time, there would be no next time.
She asked: "The old man who taught me how to read and write said that the men in Dayu are very scheming and love to take advantage. Am I really that bad-looking? You don't even take advantage of me?"
Lin Ye: "The old man who taught you how to read and write was right, but did he teach you? The beauty also said that if you don't want to take advantage, you won't suffer a big loss."
Shise: "I didn't want to make you suffer, I just took a fancy to you."
Lin Ye: "The old gentleman who taught you said that men in Dayu are very scheming. Did he ever tell you that people who are scheming will speak more tactfully and not be particularly direct."
Shise said: "But I like to be direct. If I am direct to you, you can also be direct to me."
Lin Ye: "I don't like you."
Shise was stunned.
Lin Ye made an invitation gesture: "Go back, I will return to Dayu the day after tomorrow, and you will not see me again in the future."
Shise took off a necklace from his neck. It was a very crystal gem hanging on a leather cord.
She said: "My grandma left this to me, and it's called the Heart Stone. My grandma said that if I meet the man I'm destined for, the Heart Stone will light up."
She put the Ruxin Stone against her heart, and the Ruxin Stone really emitted a faint red light.
Lin Ye looked at it and replied: "Your mother-in-law lied to you."
Shise shook his head: "Impossible."
At this moment, one of the men on horseback in the distance, who seemed to be the leader, shouted.
"Muma'er, come back."
Shise looked back, then looked at Lin Ye: "My original name was Muma'er, which means gem."
Lin Ye nodded and politely replied: "I remember."
Shise became happy: "Just remember."
Just because of these words, the unhappiness on her face seemed to disappear, and she turned and ran away.
It looks like a deer jumping in the forest, so light and graceful.
After Shise returned, she mounted her horse and shook the gem in her hand towards Lin Ye: "My mother-in-law will not lie to me, and neither will Ruxinshi."
Lin Ye muttered to himself: "I didn't lie to you either, I really don't like you."
The moment he turned around, he saw Pang Panghai and Qirige smiling stupidly at him.
Qi Rige said: "Muma'er is the daughter of Aijin of the Huole tribe. The one who called her back is her brother Qiqin Ying, the number one warrior of the Huole tribe."
Lin Ye: “Has the Huole tribe’s custom always been this way?”
Qirige nodded: "Yes, as I told the general, girls from the Huole tribe will tell them directly who they like, and will not hide it."
Lin Ye sighed: "It's best not to spread this matter back to Dayu."
Qi Rige laughed heartily.
He said: "The girls of the Huole tribe are straightforward, but the rules of the Huole tribe are also straightforward."
Lin Ye: "You said you can't leave until the child is born."
Qi Rige said: "You don't just walk casually, you either leave a finger or a toe behind."
Pang Panghai's expression changed after hearing this. He looked at his hands and asked, "Then, if I have one of my fingers chopped off, can I still find other girls from the Huole tribe?"
Qi Rige said: "Those who have chopped off their toes and fingers will be regarded as never having contact with the Huole people, and they will never be able to go to the homes of other Huole people to have children."
Pang Panghai sighed: "What use do I have for these twenty fingers and toes? Only one can come in handy."
Lin Ye asked: "Is this custom due to the small population of the Huole tribe at the beginning?"
Qirige praised: "The general is really smart, he guessed it all at once."
The Huole people were warlike and at their most glorious, they almost unified this grassland.
However, after the defeat, it was surrounded and suppressed by various ethnic groups. When the population was at its lowest, it was said that there were only more than 10,000 people left, and most of them were women, old and weak.
At that time, the leader of the Huole Tribe came up with this idea. No matter what tribe a man is, as long as a girl from his tribe likes him, he can stay.
In this way, the tribal population can be increased and a large number of mature laborers can be obtained.
Counting from the time you stay until you have children and leave, it will take at least one year.
During this year, the remaining men can help the family herd cattle, sheep and horses. If there is danger, these men will naturally pick up machetes and go to war in order to protect their wives and children.
As a result, the population of the Huole tribe recovered rapidly. Although it is not yet the largest tribe in this grassland, it can already pull out tens of thousands of cavalry at any time.
At this time, some tribal leaders came over and said that they were ready and could set off at any time.
These small tribes have a small population and a small number of cattle and sheep, so they can migrate just by mounting a horse.
Lin Ye told them to wait until all the agreed tribes were ready before leaving, and asked them to go back and wait.
Those people left chatting immediately, and it was obvious that they were all very anxious.
Lin Ye asked Qirige: "Did anything happen last night?"
Qi Rige said: "I haven't had time to ask the tribes, so I'll go now."
Lin Ye hummed, looked at Pang Panghai and said, "Go get some food."
On this day, Lin Ye and the others did not leave this area, which was a rare moment of relaxation. After all, the scenery here was indeed beautiful.
Huole tribe camp.
Shelang, the leader of the Huole Tribe, glanced at his most precious daughter and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "There are so many warriors in the tribe and you didn't choose. Other tribes sent people to propose marriage and you didn't agree. Why did you choose an unlucky one?"
Use pretty face."
Shise said: "The heart stone is bright."
Shelang said: "Your mother-in-law lied to you."
Shise said: "You also said that Aniang lied to me? But I still don't believe it."
Shelang said: "Beautiful women have too many evil intentions. They all just want to take advantage and leave without wanting to take responsibility."
Shise lowered his head and said, "But he doesn't even want to take advantage."
Shelang said: "That's because he is blind."
Shise raised his head: "He's not, he must have some other reason."
Qiqinying said: "Sister, I don't want you to marry a beauty either. Beauty and our customs are different."
Shise said: "But I'm attracted to him."
Qiqinying looked at Shelang, who sighed and said, "I will forget about it after a while. Didn't the beauty say that they will go back the day after tomorrow and will never come back again."
Just as he was talking, a subordinate came in from outside, leaned over and said, "Ai Jin, a guest is here."
Shelang said to Shise: "Don't go looking for that beauty again in the past two days. We Huole girls can be direct and brave, but we can't take ourselves too seriously, especially my daughter.
"
He turned around and walked out of the tent, heading to the other side.
Arriving at a tent at the back of the camp, Shelang opened the curtain and entered the door. The people in the tent immediately leaned over and saluted.
"Meet the distinguished Lord Aijin."
The man bowed and saluted.
Shelang frowned when he saw him: "Didn't I tell you, don't always run to my tribe if you have nothing to do?"
The man straightened up and saw that he was the number one warrior in Lulan, Lv Sang.
Suesang said: "Aijin, it was my father who asked me to come over to discuss a big deal with you."
Shelang said: "Even if it's a huge deal, you shouldn't come during the day. If someone sees you, how will our Huole tribe be able to gain a foothold in the future?"
Who would have thought that half of the horse thieves' robberies on the edge of Xingyue Lake were related to the Huole people.
The Huole people provided intelligence to the horse thieves and even showed them the way. Some of the things the horse thieves stole would be distributed to the Huole people.
No one would have thought that the last group of Lulan people could escape because it was Shelang who got the news in advance and tipped them off.
Suesang said: "Ai Jin should have seen those border troops, they are all beauties."
Shelang asked: "How do you know?"
Sol Sang replied: "I caught a tongue last night and interrogated it carefully."
He said: "These beauties say they are here to help the Beiye Army purchase supplies, but I don't believe it, because does Tuoba Lie need to purchase whatever he wants? He only needs to say a word to our court, and our court officials will
Send someone over immediately."
Shelang nodded: "That's true."
Lushang said: "So those jade people are not from the Dayu government at all. They are businessmen in all likelihood. They bribed the Dongbo border army to lead them and help them with their affairs."
Shelang: "What does your father mean?"
Su Sang said: "We plan to rob those people on the way, but we need an informant to send us news and help us keep an eye on the troops at the border."
Shelang was silent for a moment and shook his head: "That's a beauty. Even a businessman is a beauty. If a beauty dies here, no one will be able to live in peace."
Suesang said: "We are horse thieves. Of course we did it. No one will know that it has anything to do with you, Aijin. Moreover, after we succeed, we will give you half of it."
Shelang hesitated.
Qiqinying, who was standing behind him, whispered: "Dad, you can't do this, it will threaten the entire tribe."
He said: "If those people are really Tuoba Lie's Beiye Army and we kill them, Tuoba Lie will personally lead his troops north, and the Dongbo court will not dare to help us."
Shelang hesitated, and said to Shu Sang: "You go back first. Whether I help you or not, I will send someone to tell you tonight."
Shu Sang wanted to persuade him a few more words, but She Lang waved his hand and said no more.
Su Sang had no choice but to go back to the mountains and forest and tell his father about the matter.
His father Berkner smiled after hearing this: "I know that old guy Shelang very well. He didn't reject you directly, he just wanted to do it."
Suesang said: "But this time we are robbing a beautiful woman, and the Huole people may be really scared."
Berkner said: "Do you know why Shelang tipped us off back then? Because he was greedy. He came to me and asked me to use all the cattle, sheep and money left in the clan to make a deal with him."
"He is so greedy that he even dared to leak information about the imperial army's encirclement and suppression of us. He is also afraid of dealing with a few beauties of unknown origin?"
Sol Sang said: "Then he will definitely help us?"
"He will," Berkner said.
He patted Sol Sang on the shoulder: "My child, do you believe that a thief will really change his mind and never steal anything?"
