Chapter 0067 Thoughtful
readx; ===== The Kulun Club ranks third among the Bayegu tribes, with more than 100,000 people, distributed within a range of about fifty miles west of Kulun Lake. The dense dome tents are next to each other, and there is no limit to the sight.
As the evening approached, Zhang Xuan rode his horse alone to the shore of Kulun Lake. The purple rays reflected the vast waves of the lake. The waves were vast, and groups of wild ducks and swans flew out from the reeds by the lake. More than a dozen wild ancient children rode pony by the lake to chase, and laughter resounded across the lake.
"What are you doing?" The voice of a young woman came from behind.
When Zhang Xuan turned around, there was a girl Xin Yu behind him. She was tilting her head to look at him. Zhang Xuan was stunned, "You can speak Chinese?"
Xin Yu's face turned red, "I learned it, but I didn't say it well."
Zhang Xuan also smiled and said, "I am enjoying the sunset of Kulun Lake, but I have to leave. Let's see you back!"
Xin Yu seemed to have not heard him, and she urged her to move forward. Ten thousand rays of light shone on her face. She was also fascinated by the sunset and whispered: "It's beautiful, isn't it?"
She didn't hear Zhang Xuan's response, but when she turned around, she saw him pulling his horse back. She was unhappy and immediately urged the horse to chase him, glaring at him and said, "Why are you rude?"
"No rude! Didn't I just say I'm leaving?"
Zhang Xuan suddenly woke up. It turned out that she didn't understand her words. He smiled apologetically, pointed at himself, and pointed at the tent again, slowing down his speech, saying word by word: "The dinner is about to begin, I can't be late."
Xin Yu understood his words, his face improved slightly, and she asked coldly again: "What should I do with that fish?"
She was indeed worried about the Dragon Ridge Kun. Zhang Xuan didn't want to say that he let the fish escape because he saved her. After thinking about it, he pointed to Julun Lake and said, "How about I'll catch another one for you?"
Xin Yu's eyes became sad, she shook her head, "I can't catch it!" She suddenly whipped the war horse, and she urged the horse to run away. Zhang Xuan looked at her back, and she really wondered why she couldn't catch it.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Xuan also urged his horse to run towards the main tent. When he was about to reach the big tent, he saw Tongtai riding on a horse. Tongtai smiled and said, "The banquet is about to begin, my father asked me to come to you."
Tongtai's Chinese language is obviously much fluent than his sister.
Zhang Xuan apologized: "Sorry, I'm going to the lake to enjoy the beautiful scenery."
"It's okay, please, my son!"
The two walked side by side, and Zhang Xuan asked with a smile: "I met Ling Mei just now. I said I would catch another tiger-headed fish for her, but she said she couldn't catch it. Why?"
"Because tiger-headed fish are rare here, only available in the northern lake, and it is the lake god, all of our tribesmen are not allowed to hurt it, otherwise they will be severely punished. Mr. Zhang, my sister is ignorant, don't take it to your heart."
"She is still a child, of course I won't bother with her."
"Child?" Tong Tai glanced at him strangely. In the eyes of the Han people, his sister was actually a child.
"Since she is the lake god, why should she catch tiger-headed fish?" Zhang Xuan was still a little confused.
Tong Tai sighed softly, "She wants to treat her mother. Mr. Zhang, don't let others know about this, otherwise his father will not be able to protect her."
Zhang Xuan nodded silently, and he understood a little in his heart.
Zhang Xuan originally thought that the lunch banquet was already very sumptuous, but he only realized in the evening that the lunch banquet was just an appetizer. Like the Turks, the real big banquet of the Tiel people was only held in the evening.
More than 2,000 people from the core tribe participated, and hundreds of bonfires were lit. Everyone drank and ate meat around the bonfire. The young men and women danced cheerful dances with the accompaniment of the fire, and cheers and laughter resounded throughout the grassland.
Zhang Xuan, Chai Shao and other distinguished guests sat by the largest bonfire, but as the atmosphere became more and more lively, many young girls also ran up and pulled them to dance together.
Zhang Xuan was forcibly pulled up by Tule's second daughter Asu. Amid the laughter of everyone, Zhang Xuan started to dance with her clumsy hands. Asu was about twenty years old, she was plump and charming. Her husband died in the conflict with the Turks last year. According to the rules of the grassland, she could remarry after being upright for a year.
So when she danced with Jang Hyun, many people clapped and shouted, "Asu's spring is here!"
Many young men cast a eager look at Asu, but Asu seemed to have a special liking for Zhang Xuan, who was tall and tall, and refused the invitations from several men in a row.
"Your little sister didn't seem to come tonight?" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel a little worried when he didn't see Xin Yu's figure.
"I was dancing with me, but I asked other girls, Mr. Zhang was a little rude!"
Asu speaks Chinese well and speaks fluently. She smiled like water and said, "Don't you ask my name?"
Zhang Xuan apologized in his heart, "May I ask about the girl's name?"
"My name is Asu, I know your name is Zhang Xuan. You seem to like my little sister very much?"
"It's not like it, I just know her first, so I asked."
Asu bit her red lips gently, and the smile on her pretty face became brighter. She glanced at Zhang Xuan deeply, took the invitation from another young man and danced gracefully.
At this time, everyone was singing and dancing by the bonfire. Zhang Xuan pondered for a moment, then turned around and walked quickly into the darkness. However, Asu looked at his back from afar, and his eyes were filled with thought.
Zhang Xuan quickly walked to a large tent, where he had entered the home of Chief Tule. There were dozens of tents around him. Two huge mastiffs tied to wooden stakes noticed that outsiders were approaching and immediately rushed up, screaming wildly at Zhang Xuan, and the iron chains were rustling.
At this time, a slim figure rushed out of the big tent and whispered: "Big Hua, Xiao Hua shut up!"
The two mastiffs immediately sobbed and lay down.
"It's you!"
Xin Yu looked him up and down, "Do you have something to do?"
"I have something, maybe you can use it."
Zhang Xuan took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Xin Yu, "This is the tiger-headed fish's gallbladder."
"What did you say?" Xin Yu hesitated to take the porcelain bottle, she couldn't believe her ears.
"It's the tiger-headed fish's gallbladder. I caught one a few days ago and I'll give it to you."
"ah!"
Xin Yu was so happy that she was about to go crazy. She screamed, turned around and ran into the big tent, but after running two steps, she ran back and hugged Zhang Xuan, kissed him heavily on the face, and then rushed back to the big tent like a swallow, "Apa, you are saved!"
Although I couldn't understand what Xin Yu was calling in the end, Zhang Xuan didn't come back to his senses for a long time. No young girl had kissed him. The warm and soft feeling passed through his heart like an electric current.
Zhang Xuan slowly walked to the door of the tent. Half of the curtain was lifted. The light inside was bright and the layout was very rich and gorgeous. A woman in her thirties was lying in the bedding. Her face was terrifyingly thin, like a skeleton, without a trace of blood. She looked almost out of reach.
Xin Yu knelt next to the woman and carefully opened the bottle for her to show her. A smile appeared on the woman's face and she stroked her daughter's hair lovingly.
As expected, Xin Yu's mother was seriously ill and needed Long Jikun's fish gall to save her. Therefore, Ming Zhilong Jikun is an inviolable lake god of the tribe. Xin Yu went to the river to find and kill Long Jikun and happened to meet himself.
At this time, the woman saw Zhang Xuan and waved to him. Zhang Xuan walked into the big tent and knelt in front of the woman. He took out a ball of fish muscles from his arms and said, "This is fish muscles. If necessary, I will give them to you."
"No need for this, just have fish gall."
Xin Yu looked at Zhang Xuan gratefully. She suddenly saw the lip marks on his face. Thinking of her loss of composure just now, a blush flew across her face.
"Okay! I'll go there first, and your father will come to me again later."
Xin Yu understood his words and nodded, "I'll send you out."
Zhang Xuan said goodbye to the woman, got up and walked out of the big tent, Xin Yu walked out of the big tent, and she finally whispered: "I am really grateful to you!"
"You are welcome!"
Zhang Xuan smiled slightly, turned around and left quickly. Xin Yu looked at his upright back. Thinking of her mother's rescue, her eyes turned red and tears almost rolled down.
The campground was still singing and dancing, and laughter was resounding throughout the grassland. No one seemed to notice Zhang Xuan's departure. Zhang Xuan sat down quietly by the bonfire, poured himself a bowl of horse milk wine, and drank half a bowl in one breath to calm down his chaotic heart.
"Where have you gone, my warrior!"
Asu seemed to have drunk too much, her face flushed and her whole body smelled alcohol. She sat next to Zhang Xuan, grabbed his hand and placed it on her towering chest, and smiled and said, "Don't you feel it, my heart is beating very hard. I haven't been so happy for a long time."
Asu's plump figure just now made Zhang Xuan a little moved, but now she was full of alcohol and made the little bit of his favor that he had just disappeared without a trace. He didn't like women who indulged himself too much.
Zhang Xuan pulled his hand back and smiled faintly, "Did you not have a banquet before?"
"Of course, but I have no chance. Last night, my father announced that I was over widowing and it would take another month for my eldest sister to finish it."
Zhang Xuan was surprised in her heart that she did not seem to be sad because of her husband's death, but because of some rules that forced her to be widowed.
Asu seemed to understand his thoughts and gave him a blank look, "Do you think we, Bayegu women, will be the same as Han women? My husband's death is his honor, but my life will continue. I have to find a father for my son, otherwise who will support us mother and son in the future."
Zhang Xuan could understand that the living environment on the grassland was cruel. If she was unrealistic, the mother and son would not be able to live in the future. This is also the living environment that determines the customs.
Zhang Xuan raised the wine bowl and smiled, "Then I wish you a satisfactory husband!"
Asu smiled charmingly, shook his arm and said coquettishly: "If you don't talk about this tonight, let's go dance together."
Zhang Xuan couldn't bear her enthusiasm and quickly waved his hand, "I don't know, you go!"
At this time, Asu suddenly saw the lip marks on Zhang Xuan's face, which were particularly obvious under the flames. She was stunned for a moment, shook his arm angrily, and stood up and left Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan seemed to understand something. He gently wiped his cheeks with the back of his hand. There was bright red lipstick on the back of his hand. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head with a bitter smile.
"You rejected my second sister's courtship!" A voice suddenly came from behind.
When Zhang Xuan turned around, she saw Xin Yu appearing behind him at some point. She changed into a white dress and looked particularly pretty and slender. She walked up slowly with her hands behind her back and asked with a smile: "Why don't you go dancing with her?"
"What did you say just now?" Zhang Xuan asked in surprise, covering her forehead.
"Don't you feel her heart beating very hard?"
Xin Yu knelt beside him and looked at him with a smile, "If you are willing to dance with her, you will be blessed tonight."
Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly, "Your Chinese has become very fluent."
"Maybe! In these aspects, women's language is relatively fluent."
Zhang Xuan felt boring. Her second sister actually took a fancy to him and had never been a fan of her. He didn't have such an idea, and he didn't want to provoke any misfortune at will.
Zhang Xuan stood up and said, "You go and dance! I want to go and have some breathing."
He turned around and walked towards his big tent, feeling in his heart. When he turned around, he saw Xin Yu following him, "What's wrong?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.
"Nothing, I want to go there, too."
Xin Yu accompanied him slowly on the grassland, and before they knew it, they were away from the bonfire.
"Are you a businessman?" Xin Yu asked with a smile.
"no!"
"Then what are you doing in the grassland?" Xin Yu asked curiously with his hands behind his back.
"I'm actually here to find a medicine."
Zhang Xuan's heart moved. Perhaps they knew the purple insect jade pupa, so he hurriedly asked, "Do you know the ice worm?"
He said slowly, "Ice Slagworm!"
"Of course I know that the two years ago, I went to the ice field with my brother to pick it, and it would turn into water."
Zhang Xuan was overjoyed and accidentally got the news about the purple insect jade pupa. He asked nervously: "Do you still have it here?"
Xin Yu shook his head, "I picked very little and sold them to the Khitans."
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was disappointed, Xin Yu smiled and said, "If you are not afraid of being far away, I can take you to pick you."
