719. You go, I stay
The next day, Shen Li was woken up by the movement outside.
She had only been asleep for a few hours, and after being woken up, she got up, rolled around the bed a few times and failed to fall asleep, so she had to get up and go out with her face drooping.
Outside, many Evenki people are grazing their cattle and sheep, and some are gathering to make things and build decorative settlements.
Not far away, Shen Li even saw seven or eight people dragging a lot of wood and charcoal fires that had been brought in from nowhere, as if they were trying to make the prototype of a bonfire.
At this moment, Shen Li suddenly heard a burst of excited cheers.
She turned her head to look, and saw that Gu Zhiya was directing the black bear she brought to help the Evenki people carry all kinds of large boxes. The black bear has great strength and can easily carry several at the same time, which makes the Evenki people fearful and admired, and they applaud in unison.
The black bear seemed to be encouraged, holding its head high, and moving hard without being urged by Gu Zhiya.
Shen Li also saw Li Xiangying and Xu Ling beside him, and applauded in surprise.
After a few glances, Shen Li retracted his gaze and looked away.
The whole clan residence was very lively, and Shen Li saw that there was Li Lao on the other side, who was teaching the Evenki people to temper some tools at their disposal, and won a lot of praise and respect.
"Miss Shen is awake, do you want to have breakfast now?" Ahsan's voice suddenly rang out.
Shen Li followed the sound and saw that Ah Sang was holding a tray with a steaming bowl of mutton soup and a few naan.
With a smile on his face, he couldn't tell how angry he was last night.
"A few of us ate. Thinking that you should have slept late last night, I didn't call you. Are you going to have breakfast now? Ahsan asked thoughtfully.
Shen Li nodded, took the thanks, and turned back to the yurt.
Unexpectedly, Ahsan came in with him.
"Anything else?" Shen Li asked.
Ah Sang sat down and said with a smile: "In the morning, when the patriarch of the Evenki people and the elders of Guziya talked about the bonfire in the evening, I listened to it, and it was quite lively to sing and dance at that time. I would like to ask Miss Shen, do I have the honor to invite you to dance with me in the evening? β
Shen left his hand for a moment.
Last night's request was said in the past, and now this request is a little too intimate.
She looked up and met the other's bright, eager gaze.
Suddenly, she directly pulled out the pendant around her neck and showed it to the other party.
Ahsan was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?" β
"I already have a fiancΓ©." Shen Li said lightly, "This is given to me by him, I like it very much, and I like him even more." Aside from him, I don't have much patience with other men. β
Ahsan's eyes deepened.
Shen Li lowered his head to eat, and said lightly: "If you feel that you have lost, you can tell me what you want, power, wealth, and connections, I can promise to compensate you for giving me my master's relics." That's all there is to it. Any more, I'm afraid I'm really impatient. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β
The yurt was silent.
After a long time, Ahsan's slightly muffled voice slowly sounded.
"I see."
Shen Li's head bowed, "Go slowly, don't send it." β
She didn't look up at the other party, but concentrated on eating.
After about a minute or two, I caught a glimpse of the other party getting up and footsteps going out.
The mutton soup here is still delicious, half a bowl of belly, Shen Li's mood is much better, and he began to think about tonight.
After eating, Shen Li patiently went out to work and understand together, and said to the incomprehensible Gu Zhiya that he should experience the customs of different races.
At the end of the day, the Evenki people had already made preparations for the bonfire party, and the entire clan residence had taken on a new look, which had changed a lot from when Shen Li and the others came.
Among them, the happiest ones are Li Xiangying and Xu Ling, because they played with the black bear!
Without the initial fear, their audacity was revealed, and they even plucked the black bear and the Evenki in a wrestling match.
But there is Gu Zhiya, and the black bear is very obedient and will not hurt people.
Seeing that the black bear was docile, the Evenki people also became playful, and it didn't take long for them to fall to one place, and the atmosphere was quite hot.
Shen Li decisively refused Li Xiangying's imminent invitation, and only sat in a seat not far away, chatting about scoundrels eating roast whole sheep on the fire, occasionally drinking a few sips of Evenki's own wine, and the girls around him gathered in twos and threes, enthusiastically and shyly discussing the young people who wrestled.
Suddenly, a person sat next to him.
"Don't get too drunk, just leave tonight."
Ace also poured himself a glass of wine, touched a glass with Shen Li, raised his eyebrows and said.
Shen Liran said, "Are you coming back?" β
Archer shook her head.
Shen Li looked around and didn't see Hua Xu's figure.
In fact, I didn't see Hua Xu for a day today.
"Whose idea?" she asked. My Master's? β
"Clever."
"So you were talking outside the tent the night before yesterday and that's what you were talking about? You told my master about the abnormality you felt? β
"Aang."
Ace's voice was low.
The Evenki didn't understand them, and they didn't have to worry too much, just keep their voices down.
"I didn't expect you girl to notice it, quite carefully."
"Why didn't you just talk to me about it then?"
Shen Li asked.
Ah Ce was straightforward: "Your master Hua Xu obviously looks more powerful, and he is more reassuring." Besides, this is a matter of the previous generation, and there is a previous generation to solve it, and you juniors are involved in what to do. β
Shen Li sighed, "Okay, then my junior won't be involved tonight, you can go." β
ββ¦β¦ Shen Li. Ace looked at her helplessly, "Why are you so careful?" Didn't you just not tell you in advance? β
Shen Li drank all the wine in the cup and said, "I'm not kidding, you just go tonight, do what you do, I'll stay and do what I have to do, and no one will disturb you." β
A Ce's expression was slightly restrained: "You don't need to take risks, it's just that people are keeping up, and we are sure." β
"But it's not a perfect certainty, is it?" Shen Li glanced at him, "Have you forgotten what we said when we first met?" I have always been for my master Chen Zhongwen, and you are also your relatives, the only sister. It was, and it is now, it hasn't changed. β
"So, don't worry, go to your sister. I'm going to stay and settle my master's business. And if I stay, no one will follow you and cause you trouble. β
"I have only one request."
Ah Ce stared at Shen Li and said slowly, "What requirements?" β
Shen Li poured himself a new glass of wine, and then touched Ah Ce's cup.
The crisp sound, in the laughter and the sound of fire, is also pleasant.
"My request has not changed," Shen Li raised his glass to Ah Ce, and then drank it neatly, "-After finding the holy relic, give it to me, I need it." β
