Soon, the water bag was filled with half of the goat's milk.
He also stopped what he was doing. This goat's milk was enough for his sister to drink. He still had to feed the other children in the tribe. He could not milk them all.
He carefully took out the water bag. A few drops of warm goat's milk accidentally dripped on his hand. He quickly stretched his head over as if he had found a treasure.
He licked the goat's milk off his hand. A faint goat's smell and a unique milk fragrance assaulted his taste buds.
Looking at the water bag in his hand, his eyes were filled with desire, but then he suppressed this thought.
He quickly rushed home with the water bag.
He lifted the curtain and walked into the tent. He saw a woman wrapped in a large animal skin sitting in front of the fire.
The baby in her arms was wailing loudly. The woman could only coax him in a low voice. She had no choice but to stop her milk.
"Amma, I'm back."
The boy stepped forward and handed over the water bag in his hand. The woman took the water bag and carefully delivered the goat's milk into the baby's mouth.
With the goat's milk, the baby gradually stopped crying and began to suck slowly.
After a while, it fell asleep after eating and drinking its fill.
The young man leaned against the bonfire, feeling the warmth of the flames.
"Amma, when will father and the others return?”
he asked the woman.
"Soon. We should be back when winter comes. By then, we will have comfortable clothes and sufficient food. At that time, we won't be affected by this cold winter.”
She patted the young man's head and smiled.
Unknowingly, her child had already grown up.
The young man nodded. His eyes were filled with hope as he thought of the scene described by the woman.
"Next spring, I must raise a large flock of sheep on this grassland!”
The climate of the grasslands was also regulated. After the great calamity, new life would be welcomed. At that time, it would be the time for them to develop.
"I'll go and beg Longevity Heaven to let Abba and the others come back early.”
As the young man spoke, he hurriedly ran to the small stone statue beside him and knelt down devoutly.
The woman looked at him and smiled. The people on the grassland had many beliefs. Most of them believed in Longevity Heaven, and some believed in wolves and eagles.
But no matter what they believed in, they all hoped for a better life.
After kneeling, he said to the woman.
"Amma, I'm going to gather some firewood."
The woman smiled and nodded.
"Don't go too far."
The cold wind was blowing. Sieg, who was still warming himself up in the tent, suddenly felt something.
His eyes narrowed as he dragged his limping body out of the tent.
He looked into the distance with a solemn expression. His intuition told him that something was coming.
"Uncle Sieg."
At this moment, the young man walked over and greeted him.
"Uncle Sieg, what are you looking at?”
Noticing Sieg's strange behavior, the young man followed his gaze and saw that the grassland in the distance was empty.
"There's nothing here."
The young man muttered and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Zieger did not say anything. His eyes were still fixed in that direction. Soon, soon. He felt that thing was coming!
In the next moment, his pupils constricted and his body stiffened.
Of course!
The youth beside him seemed to have sensed something. He looked up and saw that the hill that was empty a moment ago was now filled with people!
"Hurry up and leave! Go home and stay."
Zieg reacted at this moment and pulled the young man to urge him to run back.
He stared at those people, his eyes unprecedentedly solemn.
It couldn't be wrong. It was them.
Da Ming's warriors!
Why were they here?
In an instant, he thought of many things, but at this moment, he understood that he had to go up. He was the only adult male in the entire tribe.
If he hadn't been injured in the last war and became a cripple, he might have gone with them.
His eyes focused. It was useless to think so much now. The key was how to protect their tribe.
He immediately turned around and dragged his limping body into the tent. He rummaged around and picked up the whip, ready to leave.
At this moment, he noticed the scimitar at the side and reached out to retract it.
Then, he came to the stable and looked at the thin horse. He could not help but sigh.
In order to go south, they took away everything that could be used in the tribe.
This old horse was left for him to look after the cattle and sheep.
Patting the horse's body, he jumped onto the horse and rushed towards the hill.
"I finally found it."
Zhu Zhan Xin looked at the tribe in front of him and sighed.
They had originally booked a three-day trip, but they had to take a detour for six days. He was fine, but Zhu Zhanji was anxious.
He directly chased him down from the leader's position and led the way himself.
"Should Zhan Jue make a move?"
Zhu Zhanji asked.
"Of course. Otherwise, why are we here?”
He glanced at Zhu Zhanji in annoyance and then gave an order behind him.
"Everyone, get ready!"
All of a sudden, all the soldiers of the 3,000 Battalion gathered their energy and were extremely excited.
How could they not be excited? Their freedom now was something His Highness Zhu Zhanji had begged for.
If they didn't do their job well, they would end up as puppets again. He really didn't want to experience the feeling of being manipulated by others a second time.
Just as they were about to make a move, Zhu Zhan Xin noticed something and raised his hand to stop them.
"Someone is coming."
He muttered, and Zhu Zhanji also looked over.
As expected, a man on a horse rushed out of the tribe.
Zieger rode his horse over. When he got close, he noticed the soldiers of the 3,000 Battalion.
"Three Thousand Battalion!"
He was shocked. The reputation of the Three Thousand Battalion was simply too great, and it was especially easy to distinguish them. He could tell at a glance.
It was actually them!
Knowing that it was the Three Thousand Battalion, he was even more shocked.
Before he could reach Zhu Zhan Xin and the others, he was stopped by a few soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion.
Seeing this, he immediately dismounted and knelt down in front of them.
"To supply the emissary of the Heavenly Dynasty."
His kneeling stunned Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Zhanxin. What was this?
Actually, Zieger's thoughts were simple. He just wanted to fool Zhu Zhanxin and the others.
From the very beginning, he had never thought of fighting.
How could they fight? The warriors in the tribe had all left, and they were counting on those women.
As for escaping, they could forget about it. These were all cavalrymen. Where could they escape to on this grassland?
Therefore, in order to protect the tribe, he decided to come out and block it himself.
At the same time, he also knew that Da Ming liked to be grandiose, so he wanted to praise them a few words first to make them feel comfortable.
Then, he would find a few excuses to get rid of them.
