It was already late at night after Urhan’s wound was treated. The cheers and noise caused by the warriors’ triumph outside the big tent had completely subsided, and everyone fell asleep.
Urhan also lay down, habitually wanting to put his Yanshi in his arms, but he frowned and looked at the layers of gauze wrapped on his chest, silently withdrew, and had to give up the idea with regret.
“Ogle is dead.” He said suddenly.
Jiang Rui had already closed her eyes, but when she heard these words, she opened them again. She thought for a moment and said, “Is this Rong tribe’s sneak attack related to him?”
“I don’t know if it’s related. He didn’t leave any clues this time.” Urhan thought of the tribe people who died in this battle.
His voice deepened. “But he once colluded with the Rong tribe and was a traitor, and the Rong tribe killed our people, so I can no longer keep him.”
Jiang Rui nodded, indicating that she understood. Although she knew that Urhan could not kill Ogle himself, but if he wanted to get rid of someone on the battlefield, there were many ways, so she did not ask any more questions.
Although the returning warriors were all injured, the transition could not be delayed. They only rested for one day before setting out the tents, leaving the shore of Moon Lake, and heading to the summer pasture.
Carrying a large amount of luggage and driving cattle and sheep, the team’s progress was not fast. It took five days before they arrived at their destination, and then they set up camp along a winding river on the grassland.
Although they were on the road these days, Jiang Rui still changed Urhan’s wound medicine every day.
Probably the threat of stitches was still in his mind. Although Urhan was riding on a horse, he knew how to restrain himself carefully and did not open the wound. When they arrived at the summer pasture, his terrifying gash finally began to close and scab.
It had been a short time since Jiang Rui gave the seeds to the group of children. As she expected, more than 60% of the seeds had germinated, while the rest were varieties that were not suitable for this season or were not adapted to the northwestern climate.
The children who had germinated the seeds were very happy, while those who had not germinated were dejected. Fortunately, to their surprise, Yanshi gave them other seeds that could germinate. When they arrived at the new camp, each child was holding a small green seedling in their hands.
Jiang Rui learned that they would stay here for about three months, which was enough time for the crops to bloom and bear fruit. So after informing Urhan, she set aside a place near the tent area and asked the children to transplant their seedlings from the containers to the ground.
Selecting land, weeding, transplanting, fertilizing… She guided the children through all the steps.
The first thing those children did after class every day was to go to the fields to look at the treasures they had planted. They were also pulling weeds, removing bugs, loosening the soil, and watering them. They were more competent than a real farmer.
The children seemed to be amazed and admired by Yanshi’s ability to cope with all situations that arose on their plants.
Half a month later, the scab of Urhan’s wound fell off, leaving a scar that looked like a flesh-pink bug, which was particularly conspicuous across his dark skin. He himself didn’t care about this. For the Di warriors, the more scars they had on their bodies, the more they proved their bravery.
“I got news that a caravan from Jokhang will arrive here in a few days. Is there anything Yanshi wants?”
The weather was getting hotter and hotter.
When Urhan went out, he only wore a waistcoat. When he returned to the big tent, he immediately took off his sweat towel, and the clothes on his chest fell apart, hanging on both sides of his body like two strips of cloth, revealing his strong chest.
In fact, if he hadn’t considered that there was Yanshi in the tent and was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to accept it, he would have gone topless.
However, the current situation was not much better than being naked. Fortunately, Jiang Rui was used to it and turned a blind eye to the strong muscles in front of her.
Hearing his words, she raised her eyebrows slightly: “Caravan? I remember that Jokhang and Beidi have no business dealings.”
Urhan curled his lips and did not hide anything: “Emperor Jokhang did not allow it, but interests can always drive people to take risks. Most of the tea, salt, and cloth in the tribe are obtained from those merchants.”
Therefore, those merchants were private traders. If they were discovered by the government, they would be beheaded.
Moreover, there were many risks along the way from Jokhang to the gathering places of these tribes. Unsuitable climate, ferocious beasts, and robbers blocking the road, any of which might kill people.
Under such great danger, there were still people who were willing to make a living from this. It was conceivable how much interest was tempting them.
