Chapter 231 Source
After Yun Yanzhu left, Xiao Yuer asked Yun Yanzhu's identity, and Lou Rongrong smiled and dismissed him with "friends I know in Yangzhou".
Everyone didn't doubt him, only Bi Yao behind Yang Shutong looked at Yun Yanzhu's disappearing figure, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
If she was not mistaken, she seemed to have seen that man beside the Three Wolf Lords. It seemed that the Three Wolf Lords wanted to negotiate a big deal with him, but they had been negotiating all the time.
When she was hesitating, Ren Mingzhao took out the sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by Ren's mother, and added a few pieces of Ren's mother's new taste, which was made with the plums brought by Nanliang people. Lou Rongrong tasted it He fell in love with it, narrowed his eyes happily, and praised:
"too delicious!"
Ren Mingzhao smiled and said:
"My mother said that you would like it. She said that you like sweet and sour tastes the most. She also brewed some plum wine. It is not intoxicating, but very refreshing. After two days. Your injury is healed, and I will bring it to you to drink .”
Lou Rongrong took a candy cake in each hand, took a bite from left to right, and ate it happily while answering vaguely.
Seeing it, Ren Mingzhao couldn't help stretching out his hand to smooth Lou Rongrong's hair, his gaze became softer, thinking that this is indeed her little sister, and she even looks exactly like her previous life when she eats candy cakes.
The others also sent some small gifts of wound medicine or condolences. The impatient Xiao Yu'er couldn't wait, she shook Lou Rongrong's uninjured arm and said obsessively:
"No wonder you want the horse of the Three Wolf Lords in Beiqin to be the prize. That horse is really beautiful. Its whole body is like black satin, shiny with oil, and its four hooves are as white as snow. My father said that this kind of horse There is a saying called 'Treading the Snow and the Black Ridge', and it is a rare and good horse."
"Just now, I just took a look and heard that you were awake, so I ran over quickly, before I had time to get on the horse and try it."
Lou Rongrong swallowed the last bite of the candy cake, feeling a little bit moved, and responded simply:
"Okay, since everyone is here, I happen to go and have a look together."
Xiao Yu'er immediately cheered and rushed to help Lou Rongrong get out of bed, but because of her careless hands, she accidentally touched Lou Rongrong's blueprint on the bedside case.
Baguio stood by the bed, glanced at it inadvertently, but the moment she saw the pattern on the paper, her pupils shrank, she subconsciously leaned over to pick up the blueprint, trying to suppress her emotions, but her voice trembled unavoidably:
"Fluffy, how did you get this blueprint?"
Lou Rongrong looked up and saw Baguio's face, and realized almost instantly that the other party must have recognized the jade whistle. After thinking about it, she responded calmly:
"A few days ago, I was wandering in the street, and saw someone selling this item at a stall. I saw that this item was unique, and I liked it quite a bit. I didn't expect that the vendor asked for a very high price, so I didn't buy it. Later, when I returned home, I thought about it again. I regretted it a bit, but I wanted to buy it later, but I couldn’t find the vendor, so I was thinking about it, so I drew it casually, what’s wrong? But what’s wrong?”
After the initial excitement, Baguio immediately realized that her reaction was a little too aggressive. When Lou Rongrong asked her back, she had already adjusted and said with a regretful look:
"I recognize this thing. This kind of jade whistle is a personal thing of a tribe in the Northern Qin Dynasty. Generally, when a newborn baby is born in a tribe, a whistle will be made of jade or wood. , they blow whistles to show the enemy, and after the tribesmen die in battle, their families will collect their whistles and dedicate them to Pantar God, it is said that in this way, the spirits of the dead can return to the arms of Pantar God, and go to the afterlife.”
Seeing that Lou Rongrong was attracted by her own words, she paused, and then said:
"My cousin knows that my mother and I have been living in a border town before. Across the long river is Beiqin. The riverbed is shallow. When there is no war, people from Beiqin often sneak across the river and use fur and milk from cows and goats under the city wall. Exchange some food items with Daqing people. Once, I secretly used two catties of hen eggs at home from a Beiqin person behind my mother's back, and exchanged them for such a jade whistle."
"The man from Beiqin who gave me the jade whistle lied to me and said that this whistle can protect people from disasters. I saw that this whistle was good-looking, so I couldn't help but exchanged it with him. But when I got home, my mother found it, and I was stunned." He chased me for three streets with a bamboo pole. Later, other Beiqin people told me about this custom, and I realized that it was a relic of the dead. No, I couldn't find it later, and my mother beat me hard after knowing that the two catties of hen's eggs had been exchanged for nothing."
She showed a shy smile and scratched her head:
"My jade whistle is in the shape of a fox, and yours is in the shape of a tiger, but they are all the same shape. As soon as I saw this whistle, I remembered the two beatings I had received, and I couldn't help but get a little excited, fluffy Don't be like me, be deceived by that vendor and buy such dead things."
Everyone nodded to express their understanding. Even if they were replaced, they were tricked into buying the dead man's things, and they were beaten twice because of it.
Lou Rongrong didn't expect that he had been inquiring all over the capital to no avail. It turned out that it was because the jade whistle originated from the Northern Qin Dynasty. He had been inquiring around in Daqing, so it was strange to know the source.
But now that he knew that it was a relic of the people who died in Beiqin, Lou Rongrong had some directions to search. For example, it would be a good way to ask Fei Wusu. He has fought with Beiqin for many years, so he might recognize this person. The origin of the jade whistle.
The two had their own thoughts, but Xiao Yu'er was only thinking about riding a horse, so she couldn't see them here, and urged:
"Okay, okay, the story is over, let's go ride a horse!"
With the help of everyone, Lou Rongrong successfully sat in the wheelchair Yun Yanzhu sent, and was pushed all the way to the horse farm in the house.
From a distance, I saw an unusually majestic steed, with a pitch-black body, snow-white hooves, a long back, a short and straight waist, and well-developed limbs, joints and tendons, which made people happy to see.
At this moment, the tall horse was kicking its hooves restlessly. Although the rope was in the hands of the groom, the horse seemed to be disobedient, jumping and trying to break free from the restraints of the groom. It was obvious that it was very difficult in a new environment. do not adapt.
Wuzhao was originally a fierce horse, like Zhuiyun and Zhuyue, who were not allowed to be touched by anyone other than the master, but now he was defeated by Lou Rongrong, and he refused to give in even more at this moment, Beiqin The saddle and the bit were removed before the man brought it, which made it more wild. It is not too much to say that he is like a tamed wild horse at this moment.
Seeing Xiao Yuer approaching enthusiastically, the groom quickly reminded:
"This horse is too temperamental and has not yet been tamed. If you get on the horse at this moment, it is likely to be thrown off by the horse."
Xiao Yu'er was determined to ride this good horse, but she didn't listen to the advice at all, and said excitedly:
"It doesn't matter, I haven't trained a horse yet, and it's good to practice my hands with it."
