"Well, I heard that they are different. There is no rule for the eldest son to succeed to the throne." Shi Wuqi recalled, "They are monogamous for life... If they only have a daughter, she will inherit the patriarch's throne in the future. Location. Then her husband..."
"oh--"
As the patriarch's husband, not only the appearance, but also the power he can bring is very attractive. But compared to the palace, the atmosphere here is better, and there may not be many people who care about the position of team leader. After all, you have to control an organization like a small army if you don't have some real skills. They noticed that although many people were working, their eyes glanced in Hu Yanyi's direction from time to time. He didn't care at all, his face still had that upright and simple expression.
"So... when can we leave?" Dai Luan stretched out her hands and pulled the corners of Mu Wan and Shan Hai's clothes.
Mu Wan sighed resentfully: "I think I have to wait for someone to kill the wolf demon, or wait for someone to save the princess' life. It's really unlucky. I was walking on the road so well, but why did I encounter this kind of thing."
"I can cure the disease." Dai Luan raised her voice, "Let me go and take a look."
"Don't make trouble." Shan Hai frowned, "You don't even have your belongings with you."
The clan leader heard their conversation and turned to look at them.
"Can this little girl cure diseases? It's impossible. Even the best doctors in our family are still thinking about it."
Shi Wuqi suddenly seemed to have thought of something. He turned to Shan Hai and asked:
"Didn't you say that Aluan really knows how to see a doctor? How about letting her see a doctor first?"
Before Shan Hai could say anything, Mu Wan became anxious: "You didn't see how much commotion there was just now. Why did you ignore Aluan's safety?"
The patriarch looked at her, put his hands behind his back, and bent down.
"Although I don't expect you, but if you want to see it... go ahead."
After saying that, he called Yanyi in loudly, the volume making their eardrums hurt.
"Take this girl to see the girl. Maybe she has some folk remedies from the Central Plains. Others, please stay here and rest."
"Wait a minute," Shanhai suddenly said, "I'll go with her, I'm her master."
The clan leader nodded, and Hu Yanyi took them both out. Mu Wan and Wu Qi stood there and stared. After a while, the patriarch called someone over again and asked him to get the newly brewed kumiss and a few bowls. The young man was a little surprised and stunned for a moment. The patriarch just told him to go quickly.
"When we entertain guests, we use kumiss. Moreover, foreigners think this is fresh and can be exchanged for many useful things. We haven't entertained guests for a long time. You can stay for a meal tonight before leaving. Stop standing and sit down? Look, there are no chairs here, right? By the way, this girl, why haven't you spoken? "
"Ah, Ah Qi is mute." Shi Wuqi lied without changing his face and sat on the floor with them.
Although the patriarch looks fierce, his conversation is kind and easy-going. They were all relieved when they heard they could leave tomorrow. Shi Wuqi's skills in wrangling with others were not compromised at all, and he started chatting with the family leader within a few words. When the wine was served, he tentatively inquired about what the clan leader had said before about the princess being kidnapped when she was a child.
"Oh, don't mention it. Drink, drink..."
Shi Wuqi understood that the kindness shown by the clan leader from the beginning was just a courtesy. From not telling them their names to not mentioning anything about the princess's past, even if he invited guests to dinner, he was just being polite to them. After all, they are just a few outsiders.
It doesn't matter, I don't plan to have any relationship, anyway, I will leave early tomorrow morning.
"We don't have much tea here. Since we stopped doing business with foreigners, we don't buy any tea, only this."
"Is this...milk or wine?"
Mu Wan smelled the taste and felt it was indescribably refreshing and sweet. The color was very white and clean, and it looked no different from the texture of milk. She took a small sip, and a numb and spicy feeling immediately bloomed in her mouth, as if she had accidentally bitten a peppercorn. But in addition to this stimulating feeling, there is also some weird sweetness.
"It seems to be wine..." she asked herself.
Wu Qi rolled his eyes at her and picked up the bowl: "Why does it still look like it? It's obvious."
Mu Wan nodded dazedly and slowly put the bowl aside. Then, there was a "boom" and she fell straight forward.
Shi Wuqi was stunned.
The most surprised person was the clan leader. He quickly moved the bowl to his eyes and looked at it carefully.
"Impossible, how could anyone in the clan be so bold, while drinking..."
"...It's not poisoning."
Shi Wuqi lifted up the unconscious Mu Wan and opened her eyelids to take a look. The patriarch cast a doubtful look and continued:
"Just...drunk."
"..."
"We... didn't know she couldn't drink."
"Oh, it's fine. Just go and rest..."
Shanhai and Aluan entered the princess's tent and saw her lying on the bed, as if she had died in sleep. When they were about to go over, Hu Yanyi stopped them and stepped forward to confirm carefully before letting them go forward. Shan Hai saw the completely different look in his eyes as he stared at the princess. Even a man could detect some small thoughts. Aluan's attention was only on the monarch.
"Please wait for us outside the tent."
"No," Hu Yanyi said firmly, "If the princess gets sick and something goes wrong with you, I won't be able to explain it to the clan leader. And - who knows if you will hurt the princess!"
Shan Hai was speechless and shook his head helplessly.
Without the usual tools, Aluan carefully examined the sleeping princess. Shan Hai only dared to watch and did not dare to go up to help, for fear that Hu Yanyi would take him away with a knife.
After feeling his pulse and checking his eyes and teeth, Aluan shook his head.
"How about it?"
"She...is quite healthy? It's like she's asleep."
The other two people were a little confused. They all came closer. Shan Hai looked closer and saw that the princess seemed to be younger than Aluan. She had a delicate and pretty face, and her complexion was quite rosy. There was no trace of her father in her body. Her skin and hair quality are very good, but she looks like a city person, but her face shape and frame still resemble the unique appearance of the prairie people - but they don't know what the prairie people look like, they just think she is different from other people in the tribe. People are quite similar.
Suddenly, the princess opened her eyes.
That moment really frightened them. Without any psychological preparation, they all reflexively retreated. Shan Hai quickly regained his composure and saw the princess's eyes shimmering in the dim tent. Her eyes moved quickly, staring in their direction. But she wasn't mad, nor was she trembling. She just showed that kind of deadly and vicious look in her eyes, which made people feel scared and frightened.
Hu Yanyi suddenly stood in front of them, stretched out his arms to stop them, then carefully backed away, slowly leaving the camp, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's weird, she didn't get sick from you." Hu Yanyi was a little confused, "There must be something fishy."
"Hey, we are really just passing by and have no enmity with you. Don't doubt us!" Aluan shouted loudly.
Shan Hai pulled back the shouting Aluan and motioned her to keep her voice down. Then, he looked around and lowered his voice and said to Hu Yanyi:
"I have some humble opinions...Don't be angry. Based on my many years of experience, I'm afraid this child is not sick."
"It's not illness? What else could it be?"
"I heard that the wolf demon may have come from Qing Lize, and it is not impossible that there are some unknown spells on her body. She looks like she is possessed by an evil spirit rather than having a disease."
"Possessed?" Hu Yanyi looked at him suspiciously, "Don't talk nonsense. If you dare to spread rumors about the princess, you will look good on me!"
"It's not too late," Shan Hai said sincerely, "If it is really evil, this matter cannot be delayed. You can report to the clan leader together with us and see how he makes a decision."
Hu Yanyi seemed to think that what he said made sense. Although he was skeptical, he still did it.
As Shan Hai expected, the clan leader indeed paid great attention to it. Before dark, they prepared something everywhere without asking any questions. Wu Qi asked Aluan to take care of Mu Wan who was sleeping in the tent. He and Hu Yanyi stared at them with other tribesmen as they ran back and forth. Finally, Shanhai and the clan leader brought a doctor and a witch doctor, and the four of them entered the tent and prepared some spells.
It was completely dark, and there was light inside and outside the tent. People had finished their work and sat around the princess' tent from a distance. There were shadows inside, and the four people were whispering. It was occasionally noisy, but the voices were quickly suppressed. Seeing that there was no progress, people gradually became sleepy from the initial curiosity. The children were not allowed to play and play. They felt bored and one or two started to make trouble, so some women took their children back to sleep one after another.
Shi Wuqi also yawned. At this time, Mu Wan slowly walked over wrapped in a sheepskin blanket. Although she didn't stagger when walking, Aluan still supported her.
He joked: "Hey, I'm sober. You can't drink well, you lady."
"Shut up, I have a terrible headache." Mu Wan sat down across the two people's seats, "I don't know if I really can't drink."
"Fortunately, you don't have allergies or anything. I think you just haven't drank since you were a child and you lack exercise." Aluan patted his chest, "I'm quite good at drinking. I've tasted a lot of wine since I was a child. But others think it tastes good, but I don't. , I can only taste it as a bad taste, but I don’t like it much.”
"Exercise? Forget it, I'm tired of commanding a corpse."
Mu Wan really wanted to slap him, so she did so. But just as he raised his arms, before Shi Wuqi could hold his head, he saw the witch doctor rushing out of the tent and shouting:
"Okay! okay! The princess's illness is cured!"
The crowd roared, drowning everything in cheers. Immediately afterwards, the patriarch appeared in front of people, carefully supporting the princess who was walking on the ground. Hu Yanyi, who was standing next to Shi Wuqi across Aqi, suddenly stood up and squeezed past.
The patriarch opened his mouth and used his loud voice to silence the roaring crowd.
"We would like to thank this disciple of Linxiaoguan."
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
"I will fulfill my promise and choose an auspicious day to get married!"
There was an uproar.
Mu Wan was sober from next year's wine. Everyone opened their mouths but could not speak.
"What?"
