Chapter 108 No.14 Scene [-]
A burning sensation in her ears woke Tuya up from her coma.What she is currently in is a large tent made of cowhide.There is a faint fishy smell of livestock in the air, and there is still a large stain on the book, which seems to be the soup that was hastily spilled due to some urgent business not long ago, and it has not been cleaned in the future.There is a small stove in the tent, and the milk tea stewed in the silver pot on the stove has already boiled, steaming "gurgling".

Tuya looked up and looked around, but she couldn't see anyone else.She didn't know exactly who she was in now, but judging from the rough and slightly familiar pendants and laying in the tent, it should still be a camp of the Shodi people.It's just that its owner is obviously not from the Muyun Department.

The girl Shuodi felt as if she had crawled out of the ice cellar, her limbs were so stiff that she couldn't move, and she couldn't stop shivering all over her body.Only the warmth of the fire was reflected on her face, making her secretly glad that she was still alive.

Gradually, the previous experience of being chased by the wolves slowly emerged from the depths of Tuya's mind, as if it had just happened before her eyes.With the emergence of memories, she suddenly felt as if someone had punched her chest heavily, and she panicked and felt a little overwhelmed.

The girl frowned, trying hard to recall what happened after she fell off the cliff.But she couldn't think of anything else except the scene where Yan was dragged into the darkness by the galloping wolf, and the snow field under the cliff approaching her very quickly.

The girl struggled to reach out, grabbed a blanket by the side of the couch and wanted to sit up. Unexpectedly, there were several silver wine and food utensils placed on the blanket. Under her tugging and pulling, all of them were clinking and rolling. fell to the ground.

The sound finally alarmed the people outside the tent.A dark-skinned little boy with curly hair lifted up the tent, took a quick look inside, then turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran:
"Ehege, Ehege! That big sister is awake!"

Not long after, an old woman with gray hair came in from outside the tent.He was dressed in a long thick animal skin coat and a pair of large headdresses made of antlers on his head, which was exactly the attire of the elders of the Yimu Department.

The Yimu tribe is different from other tribes on the grassland. For thousands of years, older women have been the leaders of the clan.From the clothes on the old woman in front of her, Tuya could easily infer that she should be the leader of a small settlement in the vast forest.And the little boy just now is her grandson.

Seeing the girl struggling to get up from the couch, the old woman immediately stepped forward and pushed her back, and softly comforted her in Shodi:
"Don't worry, don't worry. Girl, you just fell off the cliff last night and got cold again. You have a high fever at this time, so don't move around."

"Have you found another boy about my age?"

As soon as she said a few words, Tuya's physical strength was exhausted, and she suddenly felt out of breath.

The old woman sat down by the couch, raised her hand and caressed the young girl's heart:
"Girl, don't worry. The child from the south is not in danger of life, but the injury on his shoulder is serious, so he is arranged to recuperate in another tent. After your fever subsides, it will not be too late to see him again." .”

Hearing that Jiang Yan was fine, a stone in Tuya's heart finally fell to the ground, and her tense body gradually relaxed.

Seeing that the other party's mood improved, the old woman also smiled with ease, then reached out to lift the silver pot on the stove, poured a bowl of steaming milk tea and handed it to her:
"Grandmama is still allowed to ask, girl, why are you so worried about that alien?"

"I--"

Tuya who took the milk tea was immediately taken aback by the question.

At this moment, the girl suddenly had a little doubt about the anxieties and worries in her heart.Obviously not long ago, Du Lie fell under the knife of that young man with eyes as deep as Chanying sea.At this time, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but she felt that the simple and pure stubbornness in the other party seemed to have a magical power, which made her curious involuntarily.

No, rather than being curious, it's better to say that she has been deeply attracted by that young man who never looks back.

The old woman seemed to have read something from the girl's reaction, and laughed.Shodi was unrestrained and romantic by nature, and he did not shy away from talking about the relationship between men and women:

"It's not something shameful to fall in love with a southerner, just admit it generously."

"Grandma, stop laughing at me! Me and him—it's impossible!"

Tuya suddenly remembered the red-haired girl standing in front of the medical hall the night she first arrived in Mulu City.She knew clearly in her heart that the reason why Jiang Yan stayed with her at this moment was only because of a series of coincidences.If one day he finds out the whereabouts of the girl named Ning Yue, he will definitely look for her as soon as possible.And right now, all I can hope for is to wake up later from this dream that I don't know whether it is good or bad.

Seeing the serious expression on the girl's face, the old woman stopped joking and joked, and finally got to the point after sighing:
"Speaking of which, look at the wound on the shoulder of the southerner child, you probably encountered wolves in the wilderness, right?"

"How did you know, Grandma?"

"Girls should be aware that the cold winter in Shuobei will last until April of the next year. On the contrary, the period before the beginning of spring is the time when the snow is the heaviest, the wind is the strongest, food is the most scarce, and it is the most difficult time."

"Well, I heard from my father about this. That's why yellow sheep migrate around, looking for dry grass roots buried under the snow to eat, and wolves follow the sheep to migrate around." The girl nodded.

"It's not just that the yellow sheep and wolves in the mountain depression have nothing to eat, and the people have nothing to eat."

"So, you also followed the group of gazelles to come here? What about the deer you raise?"

"Naturally, a lot of deer have been lost. Otherwise, if we had no choice, who would come to such a place where no grass grows? But this time we did not follow the sheep, but followed the wolves." The old woman sighed meaningfully. Take a breath.

Tuya drank a few sips of milk tea, and her sore limbs regained some strength.Hearing this, she couldn't help sitting upright on the couch, her eyes widened in surprise: "Follow the wolf?"

"That's right. Under the cliff where the two of you fell, there is a small lake. Although the water in the lake will freeze to ice in winter, it will not freeze as thick as other places. There are few people, but it is a hunting ground occupied by wolves in the mountains for a long time. And they like to take advantage of the snowy night to drive gazelle to the cliff beside this lake. The sheep are forced to go to the cliff. Jump down."

"This jump will fall into the sea!"

Listening to the other party's narration slowly, the girl finally realized what happened to her that night.

The old woman on the opposite side nodded and continued to explain: "Wolves are smarter than humans. They know how to kill sheep quickly and in large numbers, and they can catch a large number of prey at one time. It's just that they can't finish eating so much food. So he asked Haizi to do him a favor by freezing all the dead sheep here. Every winter, they would hunt a few flocks of gazelles like last night, and they would make a reserve for the beginning of spring. But this time the wolves liked The liver of the animal is eaten first, and many other parts of the meat will be left behind. And we came here just to steal some mutton leftovers eaten by wolves in Haizi."

"That's why I, General Yan, fell into this lake by mistake, so I was rescued by you in time..."

"Yes, Changshengtian blessed you both." The old woman clasped her hands together and raised her head reverently.

In any case, Tuya would never have imagined that she would actually recover a life in such a way, and gradually fell into silence—it wasn't that she didn't want to say something thankful to the other party, but she had already faintly felt in her heart that these relying on The reason why the people of the Yimu tribe, who live by the horned deer, left their forests and fell to the point where they competed with wolves in the wilderness was probably because of the Iron Mountain that shouldn't have appeared, and because of the relationship between the Muyun tribe!
"Girl, look at your clothing and jewelry, it looks a bit like Mu Yunbu's outfit. Grandma, I have said so much, now it's your turn to tell me where you and that southern child came from and where you plan to go Where is it? Two half-grown dolls, without any horse supplies, plunged into this land of death, it is too courageous."

The old woman by the couch didn't seem to notice the girl's mood swings, and was still talking to her enthusiastically.But his seemingly inadvertent words seemed to have seen through the other party already.For a moment, Tuya didn't know how to answer, so she just secretly raised her eyes and glanced at the other party's face.Unexpectedly, it happened to meet the eyes of the old woman.

The girl hastily shifted her eyes to other places, and became more and more worried: If she confessed her identity to the other party now, she might be immediately retaliated by the Yimu tribe because of Tie Chongshan's incident.Or, in fact, the old lady already knew her identity, and what she said was just for testing?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help being a little hesitant to speak, as if something was choking her throat.At this moment, the little boy with curly hair came in from outside the tent again.He was sweating from running, and his tone sounded even more urgent:
"Ehege, Ehege! Those cavalrymen from the Muyun Division are following up again! I heard from Brother Baer that the snow stopped in the middle of the night yesterday, and they found us by following the ruts in the snow!"

Hearing what her grandson said, the old woman's face changed drastically. She stopped asking the girl on the couch, but gritted her teeth: "A group of hungry wolves that linger! Get everyone ready, and reinstall each tent. car!"

As the order spread, the originally quiet camp suddenly became noisy.Two young and strong men got into Tuya's tent, stretched out their hands and grabbed a thick rope next to the top edge and pulled it hard, and then removed the felt peak.The tents on both sides also fell down, forming a circular ring on the ground.

The two young men quickly rolled up the tent neatly, moved out all the things in the tent, and finally removed the thick pillar in the middle of the tent.These movements were done in one go, and in the blink of an eye, there were only messy footprints left on the snow.

It wasn't until now that Tuya realized clearly that the camp was not set up in a mountain valley sheltered from the wind, but a semicircle surrounded by more than ten carts in the snow to shelter from the cold north wind.

This kind of cart is the unique property of the herdsmen of various tribes in Shuodi.It is made of birch, and there are only one pair of wheels on each car, but only one wheel is taller than a full-grown man.Normally, a cart like this would need four horses to pull it.The huge wheels can move as usual no matter in the snow field, grassland or forest.The only difference now is that the animals that Yimubu uses to pull the carts are a group of strong horned deer.

The herd of deer has long been divided into two columns, and all the food and clothing are also loaded on the cart together with the yurt.Tuya wrapped the thick wool blanket around her body a little tighter, and seemed a little at a loss amidst the hustle and bustle.Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure among the crowd.It was a young man with black eyes and a stubborn expression.The other party was lying on a large cart at this time, and his eyes seemed to be searching for something among the crowd.

"General Flame!"

The girl immediately supported her weak body and ran towards her companion.It was the first time Tuya showed a smile on her face since the two separated.However, the first sentence she spoke was a solemn warning:

"Remember, Jiang Yan, you are not allowed to tell the other party my real identity at any time, remember?!"

The black-eyed boy seemed to have just woken up not long ago, and he hadn't had a chance to figure out what happened.Faced with such an exhortation, he was obviously a little puzzled, but he still chose to obey Tuya's words and nodded slightly.

"What are you doing? Don't get too close to this alien!"

A tall and burly hunter from the Yakibe came out from the side of the cart and shouted loudly in Shodi, it seemed that he was specially in charge of guarding General Yan.The girl was taken aback by this sudden questioning, and the look on her face could no longer maintain her composure.

The hunter looked it up and down, but recognized the girl's appearance, and cursed immediately:

"Isn't this the woman from the Muyun tribe that I rescued last night? Our clan has never had any enmity with your tribe, but now they are chased and killed by the dogs of Bakwuqin's family like rabbits! What if something happens to my family? , You must pay in blood!"

Facing the furious hunter, Tuya felt her ears buzzing, and involuntarily took two steps back, unable to think at all, and only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.

Suddenly, the girl felt someone tugging on her skirt from behind.Looking back, it was the grandson of the old woman.The curly-haired boy ran back to her side at some point, with an innocent smile on his face:
"Big sister, Er Hege let us take the same car, shall I take you there?"

So Tuya nodded vigorously, and let the child take her hand to leave, but she couldn't help but secretly rejoiced in her heart:

Now the other party obviously still has doubts about her identity, but the words she warned her companion just now are more and more necessary.No matter what accidents she encounters along the way, she will never let the other party know that she is the princess of Muyunbu!
