Chapter 81: Winter Camp

When the herdsmen saw Badu, they were surprised and dismounted him. They surrounded Badu in the middle, and everyone excitedly stepped forward to hug him one by one. And one of the herdsmen hugged and cried with Badu.

Without waiting for Sibelis to reach Badu's side from a distance, Badu continued with the weeping herdsman to the winter camp.

Si Baili tried her best to steer the horses and follow them, her riding skills were limited, and she felt bumpy and tired from the long ride. But on the way after that, Badu did not stop at all to rest. The tired Siberis bit her lip after looking at the vast grassland around her, and had to endure the exhaustion and discomfort, and continued to follow Badu.

Along the way, Sibriss did not understand any conversation between the two of them, except that Badu was calling the herdsman's dress as Ada, and Adi calling Badu Badu. They talked and laughed with each other, and they had nothing to do with her at all.

After nearly a day's journey, Sibriss finally followed Badu to the place he had called the Winter Camp.

Only then did she discover that this so-called winter camp was actually a magnificent valley located at the southern foot of the mountain range. The valley is wide and flat, with high mountains to the north and undulating hills to the south, cold winds from the north are blocked by the mountains, and warm sunshine from the south is not blocked by the low hills. The pastures in the valley are abundant, and even if the grass on the grasslands outside is already yellow, it is still a scene of business here.

As Badu slowly walked towards their winter camp of the Cypriots, Sibriss found that everything about life here was completely different from the Garland, Phetton she had seen before. There was not a single stone house as Garland would have lived, nor a wooden hut as had ever been found in Fyton, but all that was a round felt tent with a roof made of white felt. Looking at the center of the felt tent, Siberys did not see a building resembling a sanctuary or a Taru longhouse, but a tall altar made of rubble. The Great Sacrifice Round Platform stands like a hill in the center of the camp, with colorful flags hanging on all sides, and various animal skulls supported by high poles.

Passing through the sea of cattle, sheep and horses outside the felt tent, Sibeliss came to the edge of the winter camp's residential area. Here, she saw that even though thousands of felt tents had been erected in succession, there were still many herder families who were coming from all directions, driving their cattle and sheep and dragging the folded felt tents to survive the cold and harsh winter.

Badu was warmly welcomed and entertained by the people when he entered the winter camp, and Sibriel had no idea why he was so welcome and embraced, and in her opinion, he was just an ordinary person who had almost fallen to his death on the grass.

As Badu walked between the tents on the top of the camp, Si Baili looked around curiously at everything and the people here, and the people looked at her little blonde girl with curiosity. When Syburyse uttered this tone of Fayton, she neither admitted it nor shook her head in denial.

"Servant, come here." After greeting the people who welcomed him, Badu beckoned to Sibelis, who was looking around blankly, and said, "Come with me." ”

Sibriss nodded at him, and then tightly called Nohibi to follow him to a large conspicuous tent.

"You just wait outside this tent for me to come out, and I'll go see my grandma." Badu said to Sibelis, "Don't go anywhere until I come out." ”

"Okay, Badu." Sibriss said, and then she grabbed Nohibi, who was barking at the guards. When she saw Badu enter the tent, she leaned over and said to Nohibi, "Nohibi, don't do this, be quiet, this is Badu's home." ”

"Uhhh Nohibi didn't listen to Sibris's reassurance, and it still looked at every Seigu around it with a fierce expression.

"Good dog, don't do this." Sibriss continued to reassure Noshibi.

After a long time, the curtain rolled violently, and Badu came out of the tent, and without turning his head, he said to Sibris, who was waiting in front of the tent, "All right, come with me." ”

Sibeliss looked at Badu, who was walking away quickly, and beckoned Noshibi to follow Badu again.

After skirting a large pile of stones and holding a rope flag, Ciperys followed Badu to a large gray felt tent.

"This is my tent, you keep your dog on a leash around here, if it bites someone..."

Seeing that Badu stopped without saying a word, Sibriss couldn't help but ask him, "If Noshibi bites someone..." I'll take care of it... ”

"What are you responsible for? You are my servant, your dog is my dog, and whoever it bites can only blame the person who was bitten carelessly. Badu said.

Si Baili was stunned for a moment, and then said softly, "Badu, I will take care of Nohibi and not let her bite." ”

"You will live with me in this tent from now on." Badu pointed to the felt tent in front of him and said.

"I.." Cyblices was taken aback, and then she asked, "Shall I live in a room with you?" Badu.."

"It stands to reason that you can't live in a sweat tent." "But I'll give you permission to live here." ”

"But Badu, Iβ€”." Siberis hesitated and said, "I..."

Badu looked at the hesitant and tangled Sibriss and said, "Say whatever you want, don't twist and pinch all the time." Do you want to live in someone else's tent? ”

"No.." Siberis looked at the felt tents lining up nearby, and then said tentatively to Badu, "I can... Do you have your own place to live? ”

"You're a servant, and you have to have a place to live?" Badu asked rhetorically.

"I know I may have gone too far." Sibelis hung her head and said, "But... But I think I'm a girl after all... I.."

"Hmm." Badu thought for a moment and said, "I understand your concern, but there is no extra tent for you here, you can only live in my sweat tent." I grant you permission to draw a curtain in my tent so that you can live conveniently. ”

Sibriss didn't say anything more, she looked down at Nohibi on the side, and then at the felt tent.

"What's wrong?" Badu said to Sibelis, "Aren't you still satisfied with this? ”

"Badu," Sibriss thought for a moment before speaking, "Badu, may I ask you for something?" ”

"What's the matter?" "Say it." ”

"If you have a chance in the future, can you please help me find that Friedlier Phetton Taru?" Suddenly, with tears in her eyes, Sibriel asked Badu.

"You want to go back to him, don't you?" Badu asked.

Siberis nodded slightly.

"Are you also important to this Taru?" Badu asked.

"Maybe," Siberys whispered a little unconfidently.

"Hmm.." "Since you have helped me, I ought to help you." ”

"Bado, you're willing to help me, aren't you?" There was a hint of joy in Sibelis's tearful eyes.

"But it also depends on the attitude of this Taru who you said towards us Saigus." "If he had not invaded or been hostile to our Segou, as the previous captives had said," said Badu, I could return you to him." However, if I find out that he is hostile to us Sechous, then I will let you see his death with your own eyes, or let him see your death with your own eyes. ”

Siberice's heart trembled, and she hurriedly said, "No, it won't. Before that, I will tell him about your goodness, he will not be hostile to you, he is a good man, Bado, please believe me. ”

"What?" Badu was stunned for a moment, and then asked Cybelis, "What you just said was to tell him about our kindness?" ”

Sibriel looked at Badu for a moment, then nodded a little blankly.

"Phew.." Badu smiled contemptuously and said, "You are naΓ―ve, if telling kindness can avoid war, then each tribe and each nation only needs to talk to each other to see who will pretend to be pitiful and speak of kindness." ”

"Forgive me, Badu, there are some things I may not understand." "I really don't want you to go to war. ”

"I don't blame you." "I graciously grant your request," said Badu, "but I also tell you that you must be honest as my servant before you meet that man." ”

Sibeliss nodded vigorously at him.

After glancing at Sibris, Badu raised his hand and pushed open the curtain and stepped into the felt tent. Just as Sibriss was hesitating whether she should follow him into her account, she saw four or five men walking briskly over her, and they walked past her, followed by Bado, into his felt tent.

Sibriel saw that one of the people who had just entered Badu's felt tent was none other than Adai, who had already changed the leather jacket he was wearing before and put on a silk robe. In her mind, he was not at all a herdsman at the moment, but more like a strong and capable warrior.

Not long after Adhai and the others entered the Badu tent, one of them quickly returned and walked out of the tent. After a few moments, Sibriss saw the man who had returned, and at this time had a large plate of lamb in his hand. He led two young women with berries in their hands and milk jugs in their hands and into the Badu's tent again.

As Siberis sat on the ground, caressing Nohibi as she reflected on what had happened over time, Badu pulled out of the felt tent. He carried the felt curtain in one hand and beckoned to Xi Baili with the other, and said, "Come, servant, come and have something to eat." ”

As Sibriss approached the tent, Badu threw a chop of lamb with meat at Nohibi from the tent door.

"Servant, since you are familiar with a Taru there, let me ask you, do you know where Pheton is going to attack next?" Badu asked as soon as he waited for Syberys to enter the tent.

Sibriss looked at Badu for a moment, then whispered, "I heard a Taru named Sverier talk about it, and I remember him saying that they seemed to be preparing to attack Azor. ”

"Sverier Taru... Well, are you sure? Badu asked her.

"I... There should be no mistake in remembering. Siberis looked at Badu and said.

Badu nodded at Cyblis, and then motioned for Cybeliss to sit down at another low table.

After handing a steak to Sibris, Badu turned to the rest of the tent and began to converse in Segu. The whole felt tent was immediately filled with words that Siberys did not understand at all. Hungry, she hesitated for a moment, then picked up the mutton handed by Badu, chewed and swallowed it silently alone.

Filled with her stomach, Sibeliss sat in a corner of the tent and looked at the people in the tent. After observing them for a while, she noticed that they had quickly changed from their previous relaxed and cheerful atmosphere to serious ones. She felt that they were no longer welcoming Badu's return, but more like they were discussing something.

As their discussion intensified, Sibriss saw that Badu had a sand table on the table. Then, he also took his small waist knife to cut mutton and pointed at the utensils on the table. After speaking a long sentence to the others, Badu used the small waist knife in his hand to push the utensils off the table one by one from the low table in front of him.

After some more talking, Badu suddenly turned to Sibris, and asked her, "Servant, do you know a Taru named Ariel?" ”

"Ariel," said Sibris, after a moment's hesitation, "I don't know much about him, but I've seen him, he.... ”

"How is he?" Badu asked urgently.

"He's a good guy." Cyblices said.

Badu glanced at Sibelis, then tapped on the only remaining vessel on the table. After the women who had ordered the dishes to be packed up walked out of the tent, Badu said to Adi and the others in Segu, "If the Phettons make a move this winter and attack Azor, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime strategic opportunity for our White Deer Tribe. At that time, the king of the north of Atholl, who was attacked by the Phedonians, would no longer be able to support the Blue Wolf in the first place. ”

"Badu, if the battle between Phyton and the King of the North begins this winter, are we going to brave the bitter cold to send troops?" Ah Dai asked.

"Of course, my brother would never have thought that I would send troops to attack him in the winter." "I'm going to surprise him and kill him at the first opportunity," said Badu. ”

Ah Da nodded.

"Ah Da, no matter what, my brother still has the blood of the Golden Family, and I can't kill him with my own hands. This task will be left to you, and you must not be merciful. ”

"Badu, don't worry." "I'll cut off his head and show it to you." ”

"Hmm." Badu turned to look at the few henchmen in front of him and said, "If you want to achieve something great, you must make sacrifices. ”

"Badu, what are your plans after regaining the Khan position?" Ah Dai asked.

"After regaining the Khan's throne and subduing the nine tribes of Segu, I have two plans, one is to attack the Huda people in the east, and the other is to attack Yasuor in the south." "But that's all for later, and we don't have to talk about it that much now." ”

The conversation between Badu and Adi and the others went on for a long time, and Sibriss couldn't help but feel sleepy as she looked at them blankly, and she couldn't help but lie down in a corner of the tent and fall asleep with these words that she didn't understand at all.

"Get up." After some time, Badu kicked Cybeliss and spoke to her.

Si Baili suddenly got up, and she looked up to see that there was no one in the tent at this time. Badu then threw her a blood-stained silk robe and said to her, "Go and wash my garment, servant." ”

Sibriss took the blood-stained silk robe and looked at it, then at Badu.

"What are you looking at me for?" Badu said to Sibris, "Don't you know how to do laundry?" ”

Sibriel hung her head and didn't speak.

"You, as a servant, have to do something." Badu looked at Siberis and said, "You saved me, but I can't raise you for nothing." Taking you with me and promising to help you find the person you are looking for is far more than I should have done to repay you. ”

Siberis nodded, and then said to Badu, "I understand, thank you Badu, I will help you wash your clothes." ”

Looking at Sibris, who was walking towards the outside of the tent with her silk coat in her arms, Badu called out to her again, "Servant, I have taken my boots and washed them." ”

After washing Badu's silk robe and boots by the icy stream, Sibris exhaled deeply. She first covered her hand frozen by the water, and then went to stroke Nohibi, who was running with a bone in her mouth.

As Siberis lay down on the grass and looked at the cloudy sky, she couldn't help but think to herself that the gods had let her go through this here because they would let her see Friedreel again. Otherwise, the gods wouldn't have had to rain that lightning bolt on her at sea.
