The Lou family's caravan has been repairing all day and night, and now it can be said that it is full of energy and morale.
While on the road, many people began to enthusiastically imagine what it would be like to arrive in Yuyi Town, planning how to settle down in Yuyi and how to make a career in the world.
Most of these young men had only known each other for a few days, but now they were able to talk loudly and talk about the past and the present under the morning sun. Of course, the role played by Miss Lou's hard work among them was naturally indispensable.
If the originally numerous factions within the ranks cannot be smoothly differentiated and compatible, relying solely on false promises and a contract will not be enough to tame these people with different origins and experiences.
In order to come up with a method that was as peaceful as possible without losing her identity, Lou Jinghua must have suffered a lot behind the scenes, even though Zhao Kuo, an "old-timer" with rich business experience, helped out.
But on this day, the daughter of the Lou family looked as if she had been exhausted for days. She actually sat on the swaying carriage, listening to the chirping of the boys outside, and fell asleep after a while.
A few moments later, several thunderous and horrifying shouts penetrated her head like revenge, frightening the Lou family's daughter to scream loudly.
"Miss Lou, Miss Lou! Mr. Zhao has something to do with you. We met a group of herdsmen..."
After hearing this, Lou Jinghua immediately opened the door curtain of the carriage and was about to show off his temper. However, he saw Han Chong, the young man who was driving the horse, timidly showing concern, and his heart suddenly became cold. Finally, he pushed the scoundrel away and jumped out of the carriage with great courage.
"Why can't everyone stop leaving? Has Yuyi Town arrived?"
Zhao Kuo pointed to the clouds in the distance and replied: "Yuyi Town is just dozens of miles away. Look Jinghua, that is Yinshan Mountain!"
Lou Jinghua and the boys beside her all looked intently into the distance and found that there was indeed a continuous mountain range standing hundreds of thousands of miles away. It towers into the clouds, its snow-capped top hidden in the crisp clouds, looming, and the outline of the mountains below it becomes extremely clear, too clear to be true.
When people see such a landscape, they first wonder if there is something wrong with their eyes, because ordinary people cannot see things so far away. But if the object is unimaginably large and indescribably tall, everything has to start all over again.
"Wow...how come you never noticed this when you were a child? This scene is really jaw-dropping!" After Lou Jinghua replied, a Xianbei warrior with yellow beard and yellow hair suddenly appeared next to Zhao Kuo, and once again The Lou family's daughter was shocked.
"He...who is he!" Lou Jinghua couldn't hide her panic, and even wanted to hide in the carriage to seek shelter.
"The villain Tuoba Yan is a retainer of the Zhao family. On this trip, he came to protect the herdsmen migrating south for the winter under the orders of the family master. Unexpectedly, he ran into you, the eldest young master!"
When Lou Jinghua saw that this Xianbei warrior was slender and strong, with a scimitar on his waist, he suddenly felt timid and replied: "Then... what do you want me to do with you, young master?"
"I heard that the Miss Lou family provided money and effort to send the eldest young master back, and I felt very grateful, so I wanted to tell you anything first."
After hearing this, the daughter of the Lou family hurriedly took Zhao Kuo aside and whispered, "Who is this guy? He doesn't look easy to mess with at all!"
"He is a friend I met during this trip south. He happened to have nothing to do, so he asked me to accept him as a guest." Zhao Kuo said: "Brother Tuoba brought some men and horses to guard the herdsmen migrating south because this is nearby. In the fertile fields, several wolf packs have appeared recently. If the wolves are not driven away, the livelihood of the herdsmen will not be guaranteed."
"There are wolves? Then why don't we set off on our journey!" Lou Jinghua said in surprise: "At night, aren't we just lambs to be slaughtered?"
"That's why I came to ask for your opinion. How about we stay and help, so that we can take care of each other. After all, this is the area of Yuyi Town. If there is a murder case of animals harming people, our Zhao family will have to cover our faces. shame."
After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Lou Jinghua agreed very readily. Perhaps he expected that there was nothing to do with him, so he did not make too many guesses. Later, the daughter of the Lou family solemnly said to her servants: "Listen to me, everyone, this Tuoba brother is Mr. Zhao's retainer. Now he is going to lead people to exterminate the wolves that are disturbing the herdsmen. Among you, If anyone comes forward and is willing to join, Mr. Zhao may personally reward him..."
The boys were talking a lot, and in an instant, many people responded one after another. Tuoba Yan counted the numbers and thanked Lou Jinghua repeatedly with a smile: "Thanks to Miss Lou's kindness, we didn't know there were several wolf packs here before. There were about dozens of wolves, big and small. The owner of the house except my brother In addition, only a few people were sent to me, and with the help of the herdsmen, there were only a dozen people. Without the help of all brothers, how could I have resisted dozens of wolves."
After hearing this, the Miss Lou family immediately took someone else's hand and returned to the carriage to rest. When leaving, she did not forget to say to Zhao Kuo: "Now you owe me another favor!"
After this incident, the Lou family caravan was divided into two parts. Some people followed Tuoba Jin to meet others who were waiting to attack the wolves, while others met the herdsmen under the leadership of Zhao Kuo.
The two groups parted ways for the time being. Due to the emergency, old acquaintances had no time to reminisce. Fortunately, they met another old acquaintance in the area where herders lived, Tuoba Guang, the brother of the Xianbei warrior.
At this time, this honest fat man was still nibbling the roasted lamb leg in his hand. It was said that this was his reward for driving away the wolves as a herdsman last night.
I saw him sitting alone next to the sheepfold, looking at a group of small white sheep with thick hair and flesh. From time to time, a white smile appeared on his dark face, which made people feel that he was just an ordinary herding child. Anyway, I didn't notice any outsiders coming.
Several friends who had been acquainted with each other since they were in Yangcheng immediately planned to go over and let them know, so they shouted one after another from a distance: "Brother Tuoba, Brother Tuoba..."
Unexpectedly, no matter how far or how close these calls were, there was no answer. Tuoba Guang continued to eat the leg of lamb by himself.
Seeing that he was silent, Zhao Xiaomei followed up curiously and asked, "Brother Tuoba, don't you recognize us?"
"You... didn't you call me 'Big Brother'?" Tuoba Guang stared at his round eyes, and then replied matter-of-factly: "I remember you, you are Mr. Zhao's sister, I remember you are so shy!"
Later, Zhao Kuo, Bai Feng, and Murong Yan also came up to say hello. Obviously, Tuoba Guang did not forget. On the contrary, he remembered it better than anyone else. But for some reasons, he always remembered it. It seems to be out of tune with ordinary people.
"Mr. Zhao, your father is very kind to us brothers. Now we still have huge legs of lamb to eat..."
Everyone looked at Tuoba's rough and honest appearance and responded with kind laughter. Only the Miao girl Ajuan, who didn't know the details, suddenly asked: "Is there something wrong with his head?"
"Ajuan, don't talk nonsense!" Murong Yan immediately laughed and said: "Brother Tuoba is very good at martial arts. If you pick up a big sword, no one can get close to you!"
"My 'eldest brother' is really good at martial arts, but he can't beat me!" Tuoba Guang said, then took a deep bite of the mutton bones with only some minced meat left, and pursed his lips to enjoy it. Your own feast.
Everyone gradually realized that something was not right. Naturally, they could not guess whether Tuoba Guang was really crazy or fake, but it did take a lot of effort to get along with such a person. But they had just arrived at the herdsmen's camp and they hadn't even settled down yet, so they dispersed and left in order to avoid making trouble for themselves.
