Nangong Jin didn't know what to think of to make this fire continue to emit a warm light. The two sat silently, and Nomin looked up at him from time to time. After a long time, Cheng Rui suddenly burst into tears in the tent.

"Rui'er." Nangong Jin hurriedly rushed to the tent.

In the tent, Cheng Jun was busy comforting, but Cheng Rui was still crying with his eyes closed, and when he heard Nangong Jin's voice, Cheng Rui opened his eyes, looked at him with a frightened expression and said, "There are wolves, many, many wolves!" ”

"Don't be afraid, uncle is here. Uncle killed all the wolves, not afraid. The tent was very small, and Nangong Jin could only sit outside the tent with half of his body kneeling.

Cheng Rui pounced on him and hugged him tightly and cried, "Uncle, don't die!" ”

"No, it won't." Nangong Jin picked him up, put up a piece of skin, and walked out of the tent.

Cheng Rui leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "Rui'er is afraid of wolves, uncle don't die, okay?" ”

"Uncle won't die."

"Guaranteed?"

"Guaranteed!"

"Rui'er is afraid of wolves." Cheng Rui touched Nangong Jin's ear with one hand and said timidly.

"Don't be afraid, uncle will fight wolves." Seeing Cheng Rui like this, Nangong Jin couldn't bear it, and comforted him softly: "Is it okay for Rui'er to sleep for a while?" ”

Cheng Rui shook his head, still crying and said, "Rui'er is afraid of wolves. ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, uncle and Rui'er are together, don't be afraid."

For almost three quarters of an hour, Nangong Jin kept walking back and forth, coaxing Cheng Rui. Cheng Rui finally lay on his shoulder and fell asleep again.

At some point, Nomin fell asleep on a pile of luggage. When she woke up, it was dawn and she was covered with skin. The fire in front of him was still not extinguished, and Nangong Jin held Cheng Rui, who was wrapped tightly, and fried rice in a clay pot that he found out of nowhere.

Cheng Rui hadn't woken up yet, and Nangong Jin's movements were very light. Seeing that Nuo Min was awake, he whispered, "Do you want to eat some?" Not tasty, but at least hot. ”

Nuo Min groomed himself as much as he could, Nangong Jin handed over the water bladder, and Nuo Min took it embarrassedly.

"After a while, the children will wake up, and we will go." Nangong Jin didn't look at her.

Nomin paused, not saying anything.

Cheng Jun rubbed his eyes and climbed out of the tent, yawned, rubbed on Nangong Jin, and squinted again. Nangong Jin patted him and didn't let him really fall asleep.

Cheng Jun took out a small medicine bottle from his arms with his eyes half-open, "Master take medicine." ”

Nangong Jin didn't expect him to make such a move, and for a while, he looked at Nuo Min and took the medicine bottle. Seeing Nangong Jin take it, Chengjun reached out and took back the medicine bottle and smiled, walked to Nuo Min's side, picked up the water bladder, and ran to the side to wash and comb.

When Cheng Jun was eating hot fried rice, Cheng Rui also woke up. Nangong Jin took care of the and urine, and helped him tidy up his hair at the end. When Cheng Rui was allowed to eat, he took Cheng Jun to put away the tent and pack his luggage. Nomin watched silently without saying a word.

Finally packed up, Nangong Jin took the horse, put the luggage and the two children on the horse, and motioned to Nuo Min, "Get on the horse and go." After speaking, he didn't wait for her, but just led the horses where the children were sitting and walked in the direction of Bansheng City.

Nomin caught up with him, "I'll take a child, and you can get on the horse too." ”

Nangong Jin smiled and shook her head, completely distrustful.

"Master." Cheng Jun took the initiative to say on the horse: "Master, my sister and I will have a horse." ”

Nangong Jin nodded with a deep sigh, "Okay." Then, he hugged Chengjun off the horse and explained: "We will go back to the Central Plains directly today, and we will not enter the board." ”

"Yes." Chengjun nodded.

Nangong Jin untied the dagger from his boots again and helped Chengjun tie it to his boots. "Don't let people know you have this, you can save your life in a critical moment. Try it, it doesn't fit together. ”

Nuo Min looked at them and felt Nangong Jin's distrust, and was very sad.

Nangong Jin taught him a few tricks on the spot, Chengjun tried his hand, and the dagger shone with cold light as soon as it came out of the sheath. After a quarter of an hour, Chengjun thought he was proficient and mounted his horse to ride with Nuomin.

Four people and two horses, galloping in the grassland, arrived outside Bansheng City in a short time.

Nuo Min dismounted without saying a word, handed the reins to Chengjun on the horse, walked in front of Nangong Jin, plucked up the courage to look up, and looked at Nangong Jin, "Yunshi, I know you can't be with me...... After a long time, he looked at Cheng Rui and smiled, and asked, "Cheng Rui is your son, right?" ”

Nangong Jin was stunned, who knew that Cheng Rui's eyes in his arms rolled, and he turned back to Nangong Jin and said, "Daddy, my sister knows, it wasn't Rui'er who said it." ”

Nangong Jin hurriedly covered his mouth, and Cheng Rui laughed happily.

"It's not too early, we're leaving." Nangong Jin said lightly.

Nuo Min grabbed Nangong Jin's horse, "You can't be with me, it doesn't matter if you have a wife and children." Luo Yunshi, I know I like you. After saying it in one breath, he let go, didn't look at Nangong Jin again, and walked to Chengjun Ma, "You will take care of your master, right?" ”

Chengjun didn't know what Nuo Min meant, but he still nodded, "Yes." ”

Nuo Min took off all the jewelry on his body and handed it to Chengjun with a handkerchief, "You didn't prepare anything. I don't know how you're going to go back to the Central Plains, you take these. ”

Chengjun didn't dare to accept it and looked at Nangong Jin.

Nomin burst into tears and said, "I—I really didn't know that Il would do this, I really thought he was just scaring me, so, so, I didn't rush to tell you." I'm sorry, I'm sorry ....... Chengjun, I'm sorry. ”

Chengjun was a little overwhelmed and looked at Nangong Jin anxiously. Nangong Jin sighed lightly and nodded.

"Sister, don't cry, Master will not be in danger with us. I'll keep these on behalf of the master, and when we get to the Central Plains, I'll send someone to pay you back. Cheng Jun took it and held it in his hand.

"It's okay, no need." Nuo Min didn't dare to look back at Nangong Jin, lowered his head, and asked, "You, will you still come?" ”

Chengjun thought he was asking him, "I don't know, next time, I won't sneak out." ”

Nuo Min couldn't help but look up at Nangong Jin.

Nangong Jin said to Chengjun: "Let's go, Chengjun." ”

Nomin got out of the way, and the three of them walked away, looking at the backs of the three of them in the distance, tears welled up in their eyes.

**********

The children had never ridden horses on the prairie, especially after Nangong Jin taught Cheng Jun a few skills and taught them pastoral songs on the prairie, they were so excited that Cheng Rui almost roared all the way through his throat. However, although Chengjun was very excited, he was also very careful, and every hour or two, he insisted on letting Nangong Jin rest for a few quarters of an hour, and he would not forget to take the medicine on time.

Seeing that the children were happy, Nangong Jin simply took them on a detour and found a hot spring that he had discovered a few years ago.

The hot springs are open-air, with five or six pools connected to each other, and are much warmer than in other places. At this point, the children were so happy that they took off their clothes and jumped inside. Nangong Jin let them play, set up a tent, caught several rabbits and gophers, and roasted them on a fire. It's almost enough, so I grabbed the two children and scrubbed them clean, washed them by the way, and washed the clothes outside. Wrap the children in fur and have fun nibbling on one rabbit leg per person.

After eating, Cheng Rui leaned on Nangong Jin, looked at the stars in the sky, and hummed the pastoral song he learned during the day. Nangong Jin changed the dressing for Chengjun.

Cheng Jun suddenly said: "Master, I think Sister Nuomin is okay, if she is not the Lord of Tartar, Master can marry her." ”

Nangong Jin was stunned, she really didn't know what this kid was thinking.

"But I don't think Sister Nomin cares about people very much, and she doesn't look at me." Cheng Rui pouted and said, "I don't want my uncle to marry her." ”

"You two boys, what nonsense." Nangong Jin was speechless.

Cheng Jun sighed very humanly, "Master, it's rare for someone to like you so much, it's a pity." ”

"What a pity?"

"Master, I'm afraid no one will marry you......."

Nangong Jin gave him a burst chestnut.

Cheng Rui didn't see this burst, and then said, "It's too." However, I prefer Aunt Han. Uncle, uncle, I asked Aunt Han. ”

"What do you ask her?" Nangong Jin was also curious.

"I asked Aunt Han, are you married to your uncle, why don't you come to our house?"

"She answered you?"

"Yes, Aunt Han said that she had already married, and that person was not you. Alas, uncle, you are so pitiful, sure enough, no one is willing to marry you. Cheng Rui patted Nangong Jin and comforted.

"Aunt Han can't do it." Cheng Jun couldn't help but say, "She's much older than Master, you know?" ”

Nangong Jin didn't expect these two boys to be so gossipy, "I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" When I get home, maybe your grandparents have made a kiss for me. ”

The two boys glanced at each other and nodded, "That's all it can be." ”

Nangong Jin was speechless for an instant, "Am I so bad?" ”

Cheng Rui looked at Nangong Jin carefully and nodded, "It's not as good-looking as my father." ”

"Man, you can't eat it if you look good." Nangong Pu's appearance, I am afraid that few people in the Central Plains can compare. Nangong Jin had to defend herself.

"It's a pity that the other masters are all very good...... Alas, those who have a family background in Binh Duong are very careful. It can be seen that Chengjun is really sorry.

Speaking of this, Cheng Rui thought of something, and reflexively hugged Nangong Jin tightly, "Uncle, don't you get sick, okay?" Don't die either. Thinking of this, Rui'er wanted to cry. ”

Nangong Jin laughed, "Two little fools." Okay, aren't you tired? Slept. ”

Cheng Rui was still holding him, "I want my uncle to sleep in his arms." Rui'er is afraid of wolves. ”

Speaking of wolves, Nangong Jin patted him heartbrokenly, "Don't be afraid, there are no wolves here." ”

"Master, actually, I'm also a little scared." Chengjun lowered his head and said embarrassedly.

Nangong Jin looked at him, took him into his arms, and said with a smile: "The three of us are together, so we won't be afraid." ”

In the middle of the night, Cheng Rui still woke up crying 'wolf, wolf', and Nangong Jin always hugged him to comfort him. In the morning, the children were a little reluctant to take a hot bath in this place, but they thought that they were going home, and they happily packed up.

Since it was said that it was good enough to properly converge, Nangong Jin was not in a hurry to chase Du Ling and them, not to mention that according to his current equipment, he would not be able to reach the Central Plains anyway, and it was difficult to say whether he could get to it properly. So, along the way, it is better to take a detour and also go to a place where there are tribes. After a few days, I exchanged Nomin's jewelry for some necessities. Now, the children, including himself, are dressed in Mongolian clothes.
