Besides, fun is fun.
I can't imagine how unimaginable it is that a prince of a great dynasty that is becoming increasingly powerful should come to be a hostage in a small and down-trodden tribe like yours.
Even if I don't want to go back, Lao Zhu is willing to let me enjoy myself here.
And Concubine Hu Shun, I can't leave her alone.
Zhu Bai shook his head repeatedly.
Wang Tuotuo sneered: "That's right. There are so many good things here, it would be better to go back and be your prince."
Zhu Bai didn't say anything. He was too tired and fell asleep in an instant.
After Wolf King ate a horse's placenta, he was obviously more energetic in the morning.
Zhu Bai threw a few more pieces of dried meat and gave him some water, and then went to herd the sheep with Wang Tuotuo.
Wang Tuotuo was cold and looked like he didn't want to pay attention to Zhu Bai.
Zhu Bai was confused and didn't bother to pay attention to him. He ran to the river to take a bath.
Wang Tuotuo lay on the hillside sleeping peacefully and basking in the sun.
Anyway, with Number Seven, he is not afraid of the sheep running away, nor is he afraid of the wolf coming without being noticed.
As he fell asleep, he suddenly felt wet on his face.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the wind blowing loudly.
The sky was filled with dark clouds, as if a basin of ink had been poured on it.
Big raindrops were already falling scatteredly.
When the wind stops, it will rain heavily.
This is what summer in the prairie is like.
Rain comes when it comes and leaves when it comes.
The rain is not terrible, but the thunder is terrible.
If you don't find a place to hide, you will be struck to death by lightning.
Wang Tuotuo jumped on his horse and shouted: "Zhu Bai, twelve! We have to go back quickly."
Only then did he realize that Zhu Bai was missing, and so was No. 7.
He taught Zhu Bai how to identify directions that day, and Zhu Bai got back everything that belonged to him. He must have run away while he was sleeping.
He clenched his fists and looked south, his heart filled with sadness and anger at being betrayed and abandoned.
It’s just that the rain is coming and I can’t wait any longer.
He drove the sheep back to the camp.
Wang Baobao was about to come to them on horseback with his men. When he saw Wang Tuotuo coming back, without Zhu Bai and even the dog, his heart sank: "Where are the people?"
Zhu Bai is not only their meal ticket, but also their talisman.
Losing it is no fun.
Wang Tuotuo said: "I don't know, maybe he ran away while I was sleeping."
Wang Baobao: "It's impossible. He doesn't know the way."
Wang Tuotuo looked frustrated: "I taught him."
Wang Baobao shook his head and said, "If he wants to run away, shouldn't he prepare some dry food and water? Besides, he doesn't even have a knife on him, so he doesn't dare to run."
Wang Tuotuo did not dare to tell Wang Baobao that he even returned the gun to Zhu Bai. Moreover, it was Zhu Bai who fought off the wolf last time.
But one thing Wang Baobao said was correct: Zhu Bai only had a day's worth of water and one meal of dry food, so he couldn't run away. And if I want to run, I will choose a sunny day.
He became nervous: "Then where did he go?"
Wang Baobao: "When did you not see him? What was he doing at that time?"
Wang Tuotuo: "He's taking a shower. Wasn't he all dirty last night?"
Wang Baobao slapped his thigh: "Oh, if it rains, the river will swell."
They graze their sheep in different places every day and cannot always graze in the same place.
So the swimming place today is no longer the familiar stretch of river yesterday.
There might be undercurrents or deep pools in the river.
Even if Zhu Bai calls for help, he may not be able to hear him even if he is so sleepy.
Wang Tuotuo panicked now: "Then what should we do to find him?"
A bolt of lightning struck in the distance, followed by a loud "rumbling" sound.
Wang Baobao said: "I can't go now. I can only wait until the rain stops. I hope he will survive."
Wang Tuotuo stood at the door of the yurt, anxious, hoping that the rain would stop soon.
However, the rain was still heavy today, as if a hole had been punched in the sky. It rained for half an hour before it became lighter.
When Wang Tuotuo saw that the dark clouds had dispersed, he jumped on his horse and rushed out regardless of whether it was still raining lightly.
As a result, before he could run half a mile, he saw Zhu Bai riding back slowly.
Number Seven is also sitting on the horse.
By this time the rain had completely stopped.
Behind him is a blue sky that has just been washed by heavy rain.
The sun shines on the grass blades covered with water drops again, and a rainbow slowly appears in the sky, as wonderful as in a dream.
Wang Tuotuo breathed a sigh of relief and rushed over: "Where have you been? I thought you... were lost."
Before he finished speaking, his eyes became hot.
Zhu Bai grinned: "Don't worry, you can't throw it away. I hid under a big rock and waited until the rain stopped before I dared to leave. That thunder was so scary."
Wang Tuotuo turned his horse's head and followed him back slowly.
As soon as Zhu Bai entered the camp, everyone cheered.
Ever since Zhu Bai helped Ma deliver the baby last night, everyone's view of him has completely changed.
Zhu Bai is the protector sent by God to them, the lucky star.
Wang Baobao smiled: "Good boy, you know the way."
He said in his heart: Then I have to watch you even more closely.
At night, he called Wang Tuotuo aside and said, "The gun is here. It should still be here with you."
Wang Tuotuo said vaguely: "Here he is, at my place."
In fact, it doesn't matter at Zhu Bai's side, because he has no ammunition.
Wang Baobao: "You have to watch him carefully. He may leave at any time now. So don't give him the opportunity to save dry food. Don't sleep too hard at night, pay attention to his movements."
Wang Tuotuo hesitated and said, "There is something I want to tell Abu."
Wang Baobao: "Huh?"
Wang Tuotuo said: "We raised a wolf in the yurt, and it was the wolf king that day. We picked it back before it died. Now its injury is almost healed."
Wang Baobao was stunned and asked: "Whose idea was it?"
Wang Tuotuo said: "Me. I thought that if I raise the Wolf King, other wolves will not dare to come."
In the summer when food is plentiful, wolves will avoid opportunities to encounter each other.
Therefore, if other wolves smell the scent of wolves here when they are looking for prey, they will run away and look for food elsewhere.
Wang Baobao: "Okay. No wonder you two kids are always hiding meat these days. It turns out you are feeding the wolves. I thought he was saving dry food. Be careful not to wait for the wolf to regain its energy and bite you."
What he said was a double entendre.
Wang Tuotuo understood.
While eating around the campfire in the evening, Wang Baobao handed Zhu Bai a letter.
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "What is this?"
Wang Baobao said: "Hu Weiyong asked someone to deliver the letter to me."
Zhu Bai took it and glanced at it.
The general idea is, don't let Zhu Bai come back. If he tries to run away, be sure to kill him.
I, Hu Weiyong, am willing to sign an alliance with you.
If you help me seize the throne of Ming Dynasty. I am willing to follow the Southern Song Dynasty and divide and rule the world with you.
I'll give you the north, but I only want the south.
Zhu Bai found it funny: Hu Weiyong must be a lunatic. If you stick a piece of foxtail grass, you will think you are a big-tailed wolf.
Let alone fight to Peiping, he couldn't even get out of Yingtian City.
