Chapter 286 Live and Die Together
Chapter 286 Live and Die Together
The people of the tribe got up early in the morning. After everyone had breakfast, they began to pack up their tents. They were going to move to other places for the winter.
They need to find a place that can shelter from the wind and snow. Last year, that place didn't work well, so they have to find it again this year.
Tuoba Jingyao dressed the young man and wrapped him up in a soft and comfortable blanket, "I'm going to climb the mountain later, the top of the mountain is very windy, if it's cold, you must tell me, don't hold on."
"Yeah~ I'm already very warm, I won't be cold." Baitang was wrapped into a ball by Tuoba Jingyao, chubby, very cute.
Before setting off, Gong Na was worried about Baitang, and walked to the front to have a look. He saw that Baitang was dressed warmly, and nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, if you wear too much, it will be cold later."
Baitang wanted to take off the two pieces, but when Gong Na said that, he didn't dare to take them off.
If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer.
Gong Na's father has a lot of experience, so he will never lie to him.
"I'm not cold at all, and I can leave at any time." Bai Tang said to Gong Na, "Don't worry, Father Gong, A Yao will take care of me."
After counting the number of people, Tuoba Jingyao helped Baitang onto the horse, then turned himself over and sat on the horse, just behind Baitang.
He embraced Baitang, turned his head and ordered to the people who were ready behind him, "Let's go——"
The horn blew, and the people who were ordered got on their horses one after another, took their luggage and belongings, and drove their cattle and sheep to keep up with the large army.
In the clear sky, eagles frightened the sky and suppressed the clouds. On the grassland, a long team walked slowly up the mountain. Behind the mountain was their winter haven.
The mountain is steep and the road is not easy to walk.
While looking at the road, the ethnic group had to prevent the cattle and sheep from going astray and falling. The mountains were steep, and if they fell, they would die in all likelihood.
From talking and laughing when we set off, to walking in silence on the mountain road, the atmosphere gradually became dignified.
The lingering cold wind made his face ache, Tuoba Jingyao hugged the boy in his arms tightly, "Is it cold?"
"It's not cold~" Bai Tangwo whispered in Tuoba Jingyao's arms. Fortunately, he didn't object to Tuoba Jingyao wearing thick clothes for him, and he didn't disobey Gong Na's advice to take off his clothes secretly. cold.
Tuoba Jingyao kissed the young man's hair, "There is boiled goat's milk in the gourd hanging in front of the horse. If Tangtang is thirsty or cold, he can drink some."
In fact, wine is the best protection against the cold, but the young man is weak, so Tuoba Jingyao dare not give the wine to Bai Tang.
"Good~"
How could Baitang ignore the kindness of his old Gong, he hooked the gourd bottle hanging in front of him, opened the stopper, and the fragrance of milk wafted in the wind.
The people who followed Tuoba Jingyao smelled the fragrance, and after walking for half a day, the food they ate in the morning had already been digested, and their appetite was also whetted.
"Leader, why don't you take a break, everyone is tired." The man said.
Tuoba Jingyao looked at the sky, reckoning that it was almost noon, he said, "There is a small platform in front, stop and rest for a while."
The order was passed on one by one, and when they reached the small platform, everyone stopped to rest.
Baitang sipped the goat's milk, while Tuoba Jingyao sat beside him and rubbed his hands to breathe, the boy's hands were frighteningly cold.
"Is Tangtang really not cold? Do you want to wear another dress?" Tuoba Jingyao worried.
"No need, I'm really not cold." After drinking hot goat's milk, the boy's whole body was warmed up, and his pale face was slightly flushed. He said in a voice that only two people could hear, "A Yao Hold on, it's not cold~"
Tuoba Jingyao put Baitang's hand on his lips and kissed him, "I will hold you from now on."
Baitang withdrew his hand shyly, and handed the gourd in front of him, "Ah Yao drinks too, to warm up."
Tuoba Jingyao took two sips. At this time, someone came to report, and there was a fight behind him.
Tuoba Jingyao stood up, asked Baitang to sit and rest, and walked to the trouble spot by himself, "What are you arguing about..."
Baitang sat on the rock, stretched his neck and looked back, the fight was two young people, because of the steep mountain road, a sheep almost fell, and the sheep of the previous person was hurt, when they were resting, the two quarreled like this Woke up.
A sheep is worth a lot of money. Even if it is not sold for money, whether it can survive the winter safely depends on the cattle and sheep. Goat milk, woolen blankets, or eating mutton are the capital for survival. Cattle and sheep are not only property, but also life. ah.
The matter was quickly resolved by Tuoba Jingyao. When he came back, Baitang suddenly remembered the original plot of this section of the road. This mountain was where he died because of Longqian's instigation.
He asked, "Ah Yao, where did Long Qian go?" He hadn't found Long Qian just now, even though he wasn't instigated by Long Qian, he was still worried.
Tuoba Jingyao wrapped the boy in a blanket again, "I put him at the end of the line."
Tuoba Jingyao also thought about getting rid of Longqian, but without evidence, if he was kicked out of the tribe rashly, he would be questioned.But he didn't want Longqian to get too close to Baitang, so he had to arrange him at the end of the team.
He and Baitang are in front, Longqian is behind, and all the Luo people are separated in between, no matter what they can't hurt Tangtang.
Baitang is not someone who is easy to kill, he nodded to show that he understood.
The team set off again. In the afternoon, they almost reached the top of the mountain. The wind on the top of the mountain was stronger and the road was narrower. Everyone was careful, for fear of falling if they took a wrong step.
Baitang looked down, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as an abyss.
As long as you walk through this section of the road, the road down the mountain will be slightly easier to walk.
Just when Baitang thought there would be no accident, the accident suddenly happened. The tribe in the middle of the team shared cattle and sheep. Because of the large number and no one in the middle to direct them, several sheep fell down.
The exclamation from the back of the team caught the attention of the front. Baitang had good eyesight when he was in human form, and he could clearly see the fright in the eyes of the falling sheep.
"What—"
"Baa baa—"
The ewe fell, and the lambs were in a hurry.
Baitang heard the fear in the lamb's cry.
He said to Tuoba Jingyao, "I'm going to watch the sheep, A Yao let me go down."
When Tuoba Jingyao heard that Baitang was going to take care of the sheep, he said coldly, "No, it's too dangerous."
Just as he was talking, another sheep stepped on the air and fell.
Baitang was in a hurry, if this continues, how many sheep are left in the flock when they reach the destination.
"I can communicate with the sheep, they will listen to me, A Yao, let me go, I can do it~" Baitang begged, this is the first time since Tuoba Jingyao took office to lead the ethnic group to migrate, if If there are too many losses, Tuoba Jingyao's leadership position will also be questioned.
"A Yao~ let me go, I can do it, I will pay attention to safety..."
Baitang begged bitterly, his pure almond eyes filled with crystal liquid, "Let me go..."
The people following Tuoba Jingyao also knew the "ability" of the leader's wife. As long as he spoke, the cattle and sheep would be obedient. If Baitang went to command the flock, their losses would only decrease but not increase.
"Leader, let Baitang go." The people behind also persuaded.
Tuoba Jingyao was in a dilemma, the cattle and sheep fell, why didn't he feel distressed, but if something happened to the boy, he would never forgive himself in his life, "If I say no, I won't, come with me."
Tuoba Jingyao refused to let him go, and forcibly walked forward with Baitang in his arms.
After walking for a while, another sheep fell down.
Tuoba Jingyao's hand holding the rein was wet with warm liquid, and the young man was dripping with tears. The cattle and sheep were calling for him, calling him to save them, but he could do nothing.
Tuoba Jingyao pulled the reins to make the horse stop, he got off the horse, hugged Baitang down, and wiped his tears gently, "Don't cry, I let you go, but you promise, you must pay attention to safety, Niu If the sheep falls, it will fall, and Tangtang will come back safely, can it be done?"
"Yeah~" Baitang wiped away tears with a smile, "I promise."
Tuoba Jingyao is the leader, and now he is walking to the most dangerous place, he can't follow Baitang to the middle of the team, if he wants to lead the people down the mountain, at least he has to walk this distance.
Under the friendly and grateful eyes of the villagers, Baitang came to the flock of sheep. He gently stroked the back of the sheep, "Don't be afraid, listen to me, we will be able to walk this road safely."
"What—"
"Mea-baa-"
"Moo-"
When Baitang called out, the cattle and sheep responded in vain.
Rong Ningjing was a little ahead of the flock of sheep. She had tried her best to guide the flock of cattle and sheep, but she still lost several cattle and sheep, which made her feel very distressed.
Now that she saw Baitang coming, she couldn't feel relieved, she told her father and mother, got off the horse and came to Baitang's side.
"The road is narrow, Tangtang walk a little bit inside." Rong Ning quietly saw Baitang walking on the outermost side, and a few stones fell down from the side of the road from time to time, which made her tremble with fear.
"It's okay, you're a girl, you go inside." Bai Tang drove Rong Ningjing to the inside.After walking for a long time, the team finally got through the steepest part of the road.
Tuoba Jingyao couldn't wait to stop his horse, handed over the command of the team to the guards, and then looked for Baitang in the middle of the team.
Long Qian watched Xin Gong's love for Rong Ningjing deepen day by day, jealousy had already burned his reason.
During the noon break, he fed the cattle and sheep with grain mixed with medicine. He did the math, and Rong Ning walked in front of the sheep quietly. , and Rong Ningjing will never watch the cattle and sheep fall one by one, she will definitely get off the horse to guide the sheep, in order to prevent the cattle and sheep from falling, she either walks to the outside, or leads the cattle and sheep Go, no matter what method, her strength is no match for cattle and sheep, as long as the cattle and sheep go astray, they will definitely take her down, and then, he can get rid of the thorn in Rong Ningjing's side without bloodshed.
He calculated well, but he didn't calculate that Baitang would run into the flock from the front.
The effect of the medicine took effect, and a ewe staggered a few steps, almost pushing the lamb in front of it.
Baitang hurriedly took two steps to support the lamb, and he pushed the ewe behind him to let it go inside.
Unexpectedly, the cow in front of the lamb also started to wobble and kicked the lamb down.
"What—"
"Tangtang—"
The lamb and Baitang fell down the cliff amidst the terrified cries of Rong Ningjing and Tuoba Jingyao who came over.
Tuoba Jingyao didn't even think about it, and jumped down with Baitang.
