Narisong is a warrior in the Wutu tribe and one of the most trusted subordinates of the tribe leader Wotu. Their mothers are from the same small tribe. The two grew up together and have a good relationship.
Na Risong knew Wotu, the tribe leader and good brother, very well. He really didn't like the kind of weak women who seemed like they would break if the wind blew. He always admired the women on their grassland who could ride horses and wield swords. So he was not very happy during this period of time. If he was not unhappy, he would not have come in such a hurry to pick someone up with only a few people, without even shaving his beard, and looking nonchalant.
Na Risong was worried that his clan leader would be dissatisfied with his wife and refuse to have children with her, resulting in no offspring in the clan. But Na Risong did not expect that the clan leader would behave so... embarrassingly after just meeting her once.
The wine jug fell on the grass, and the wine spilled out and soaked the grass. Na Risong called out to the clan leader, but seeing that he didn't respond, he simply picked up his wine jug himself and called him again, finally calling him back to his senses.
Wo Tu: “…”
Yin Ruxu had already let down the curtain. He could not see the person behind him clearly. He could only see a slender figure vaguely behind the curtain of the carriage.
Wotu: "This is my... wife?" It was the first time he used the word wife.
Na Risong: "Yes, it should be the Princess of Yin."
Wo Tu coughed and whispered to his brother: "I think it's not bad."
Na Risong: “…” That’s not what you said before you came. Who was the one who was so arrogant and sullen on the road just now, threatening to send people to herd sheep
Filled with speechless feelings towards his brother, Na Risong reluctantly gave him a little face in front of everyone, "Yes, what the clan leader said is right."
The two teams met up, with Wo Tu and his group leading the way. When only his brothers were left around, Na Risong finally laughed and said to Wo Tu, "Chief, are you still willing to let others herd sheep now?"
Wo Tu turned his head from time to time to look at the big car in the team behind him, with an expression that seemed a little eager to try. Hearing this, he was surprised and said: "When did I say such a thing!"
Na Risong couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. Another warrior chuckled, "Chief, didn't you say you didn't like this kind of noble lady from the Central Plains? Why were you so stunned just now?"
Wo Tu kicked him, and the man quickly reined in his horse and turned away, avoiding the unreasonable patriarch, still sitting on his horse and laughing at him.
"When I saw her just now, I felt a kind of..." Wo Tu looked at the cart again, and lowered his voice to Na Risong beside him: "I have a very strange feeling. I feel like I know her. It seems that I have seen her many times in my dreams. I feel inexplicably happy in my heart."
Na Risong: Come on, since the head of the family has been bewitched at first sight, there is nothing to worry about. What we should worry about now is whether the delicate princess will fall in love with this unkempt and rough head of the family.
Just as he was thinking, he heard the clan leader shouting, "Speed up!"
Wotu was the chief of the largest tribe on the grassland and the youngest and bravest chief in the history of Wutu. When he was born, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky, and the wolves on the snowy mountains howled together, so everyone called him the son of the wolf god. He could joke with his subordinates, but at the same time he had a convincing aura. When he gave an order, the wedding procession unconsciously obeyed his command, all quickened their pace, and nervously followed him to move forward quickly.
"Princess, why is the team suddenly moving so fast?"
"It seems like the clan leader asked us to speed up." A palace maid supported Yin Ruxu.
Yin Ruxu didn't say anything, she frowned and covered her lips with a silk handkerchief. The cart was very bumpy after speeding up. The grassland was not like the flat bluestone bricks in the city. After all, she was a delicate lady and could not bear it.
Seeing that she was really uncomfortable, the maid asked her: "Princess, should we ask someone to talk to her and slow down?"
Yin Ruxu shook her head. "Give me a sachet to refresh my mind." She pressed the sachet to the tip of her nose and endured it silently.
The leader of the group, Na Risong, was at the front of the group, galloping forward like a wild horse. He had no choice but to catch up with him and ask, "Leader, why are we rushing? This is our territory. Even if we can't make it today, it doesn't matter if we rest here for a night. There's no need to rush!"
Wo Tu said: "Bring your wife back home as soon as possible, I will be relieved!"
Na Risong didn't expect this to be his excuse. "We've already reached our territory and can't fly away. I think we should slow down. They won't be able to catch up."
Wo Tu was puzzled: "This speed is not that fast, how can I not keep up?"
Na Risong: "Chief, really, this is very fast for them."
The team at the back suddenly stopped, and a horse came running from the queue. A servant caught up and said, "Chief Wutu, our princess is not feeling well. Can you slow down a bit..."
Before he finished speaking, Wo Tu turned his horse back to the cart in the middle of the team. Yin Ruxu was helped off the cart by the maids. She looked pale and stood aside, trying to suppress her nausea. The maids asked her quietly if she was okay and if she needed water. At this time, a shadow loomed over them. Yin Ruxu and the two maids looked up and saw the fierce-looking Wo Tu chief riding a horse to their side.
The two maids were very nervous, thinking that he disliked them for wasting time, so they hurried to explain carefully: "Our princess is not in good health. She has been traveling a long way and has not been able to rest properly. She is too tired, so she feels a little unwell. The carriage is also bumpy. She came down to get some fresh air and rest for a while."
Wo Tu got off his horse and approached Yin Ruxu. He was strong and tall, and his steps were fast, which was particularly oppressive. The two palace maids subconsciously stepped back. However, Yin Ruxu, who looked the most fragile, stood there and looked into his eyes without moving. Wo Tu's eyes were dark green, which was said to be the color of the wolf god's eyes. Seeing the worry in his eyes, Yin Ruxu subconsciously smiled at him.
Wo Tu: “…” What a beautiful smile! He wanted to say something, but he forgot it all at once. Fortunately, he didn’t shave and his blushing face couldn’t be seen, otherwise it would be so embarrassing.
"Let me rest for a while, then we can continue walking." Yin Ruxu said to him.
Her voice was gentle, the softest voice Wo Tu had ever heard before. She was feeling unwell and a little weak, and Wo Tu felt so sorry for her that if the two of them were not unfamiliar with each other, he would have felt a little inexplicably embarrassed and would have helped her up right away.
"Ah... well, you're not feeling well?" Wo Tu said something nonsense, and finally found his tongue. He glanced at the flashy cart with disdain, "This cart must be uncomfortable to sit in. You might as well ride a horse with me. It's much more comfortable to enjoy the wind and sun than to be stuck in there!"
Yin Ruxu did not agree immediately. She hesitated, not knowing how to answer. This was the first time they met in this life, and it was a different meeting from before. She was a little nervous, not knowing how he felt about her, and not knowing what she should do to be better.
Wo Tu didn't wait for his wife's answer and felt a little puzzled. He thought, it's true that women from the Central Plains are more reserved and shy. Maybe she's not familiar with him now, so she feels embarrassed to ride a horse with him.
Na Risong came over with a headache, pulled him aside, and said angrily, "Chief, you should restrain yourself first. Look at yourself now. You haven't taken a shower in these days, and you are too lazy to shave. You look so sloppy. Look at the princess, she asked her to ride a horse with you. Don't you think she will despise you?"
Only then did Wo Tu remember what he looked like now. He now regretted not dressing himself up properly before coming here. However, he didn't know before coming that he would suddenly fall in love with someone.
He turned around and walked back to Yin Ruxu, rubbing his nose in dismay, "Then you should take the big car."
Yin Ruxu heard their mumbling and felt a little amused. Seeing his secretly regretful look, she stretched out her hand and whispered, "Okay, I'll ride a horse... But I don't know how to ride a horse."
Wo Tu was stunned, then laughed excitedly, "Okay, let's ride horses. It's okay. Riding a horse is easy. You will learn it after riding it. I will teach you!"
Yin Ruxu was not ready yet, but Wo Tu moved quickly. He stepped forward and grasped Yin Ruxu's waist, then easily lifted her up and put her on his horse's back. This sudden action frightened Yin Ruxu who was unprepared. She couldn't help but cry out. Hearing her frightened cry, Wo Tu suddenly felt that his heart was hit by some furry little animal, and it was itchy.
He laughed out loud, and also got on the horse's back, and put his arms forward to protect the man in front of him. "It's okay, I grew up on horseback. With me protecting you, you will definitely not fall."
"I'll take you to get some fresh air!"
Wo Tu rode away on his horse with the princess, leaving behind a group of dumbfounded maids and servants, "???" No, princess? Just took our princess away like that
Yin Ruxu leaned in Wo Tu's arms, looking petite and soft. Wo Tu felt that she was like a cloud, light and with a fragrance. He did not dare to hug her tightly, for fear of hurting her.
Riding a horse is not a very comfortable experience. Although the wind blowing in your face is indeed more breathable than being in a big car, it is still unbearable because the speed is too fast.
"Slow...slow down." Yin Ruxu pulled on Wotu's collar.
Wo Tu had never known what slow meant when riding a horse. Every time he went out with his tribesmen, he always rode ahead. A group of people chased him and he was exhausted. He would not listen to anyone who told him to slow down. But now, the princess gave him a soft pull and he immediately slowed down, completely forgetting what he once said, "If you can't ride a horse fast, you might as well walk."
After slowing down, Yin Ruxu finally felt a little relaxed and could slowly look at the scenery around him.
She was trapped in an exquisite palace for life after life, and all she saw were gorgeous palaces and towers, jade trees and luxuriant flowers. Being in a palace was like being in a frame, unable to get out. But here, surrounded by endless fields, and looking up at the unobstructed sky, the world seemed to become so vast, and people seemed so small.
This was the scenery that Wo Tu had said he wanted to take her to see in so many past lives, and now she was finally able to see it with him.
Yin Ruxu unconsciously nestled in Wo Tu's arms. She could hear the heartbeat in the warm chest behind her, like drum beats or the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground.
She heard Wo Tu start to sing. His voice was deep and rich, echoing in her ears and throughout the entire grassland. Although she didn't understand what he was saying, at that moment, she felt the peace she had longed for.
