At noon, the whole tribe was very quiet. They were not rich. Only at night would they be a little more cheerful. There was no other way, the winter in Lou Ye was really long and hard to endure.
But the arrival of King Lou Ye made the tribe livelier. Many young women came in to deliver food and stared at Longcheng Wuji, not embarrassed at all.
Old Cha Er prepared meat and wine to personally serve Longcheng Wuji. Longcheng Wuji was their tribe's benefactor, and they all welcomed him.
The fragrance of wine and meat filled the main tent, but only Old Cha Er accompanied Longcheng Wuji to eat. Most of the people returned to their own tents after greeting them. It was not like summer now, and there was too little food. They couldn't afford to party with the entire tribe.
Longcheng Wuji felt a little uncomfortable. "Where are Rhodes and Weir?"
Old Cha Er sighed. "It hasn't snowed recently, so they wanted to see if there was any prey. They haven't returned yet."
What prey could there be at this time? There were only some wild beasts.
Longcheng Wuji fell silent, and the wine in his hand became tasteless.
Old Cha Er saw that he was in low spirits and smiled comfortingly. "It's been two years! It was harder in the early years, but didn't you get through it? "
Longcheng Wuji put down his wine cup. In front of Old Cha Er, he was as obedient as a child. "I'm useless."
The old man waved his hand.
"You can't say that! You are our tribe's benefactor, and you have done very well … Everyone remembers your kindness and believes that you can lead the Lou Ye people to glory! "
At this moment, he lowered his head slightly, feeling guilty.
At this time, someone came in and whispered something in Old Cha Er's ear. It seemed that someone was sick. Old Cha Er frowned and got up to leave.
Because Longcheng Wuji was familiar with him, there were not many restrictions between them. He waved his hand, and Old Cha Er left.
GongYimo saw that he was in low spirits and asked with a smile, "Is this the delicious food you said you would treat me to?"
Longcheng Wuji came back to his senses and looked at the lamb in the middle. He felt a little conflicted, and thought to himself that he would compensate him when he left.
"The lamb roasted by Old Char's wife is the freshest! When I was young … "He used the word" I ", and his expression was a little gloomy." When I was young, the thing I looked forward to the most in the winter was to be able to eat this during the holidays. "
GongYimo took a bite and sighed in her heart. She had to admit that it was delicious!
There was a rank odor in the tent that could not be dispelled, but she did not know what she used to roast the lamb. It did not have any rank odor, and the meat was tender. It was a delicacy that Da Yu would never be able to eat.
"How is it?" Seeing that GongYimo's eyes lit up, Longcheng Wuji was a little proud. "Is it Lou Ye's special delicacy?"
Without waiting for GongYimo's reply, he took a few bites himself. Suddenly, his expression became strange.
"It's a pity that you can't eat it often."
GongYimo was also very clear that if it wasn't for Longcheng Wuji's arrival, this kind of lamb would definitely not be killed. The value of raising it would be much higher than raising it now.
"You seem to be very familiar with this place?" GongYimo asked curiously.
Longcheng Wuji didn't hide it from her. "When I was young, I hid here for a few years. Old Char doted on me a lot."
As he spoke, his expression suddenly darkened.
"… I was very close to Old Char's sons … Originally, it wasn't just Rode and Weir. He also had a younger son who was the same age as me. His name was Bai Jie."
He suddenly frowned and said faintly, "But one year, the winter was very cold … and there was very little food. It was also a war, so I hid here with the entire tribe. During the process, I survived, but he starved to death."
"Before he died, he always said that he was hungry. I fed him blood, but he still died …"
It was unknown if it was because of the scene, but Longcheng Wuji unexpectedly recalled such a past event. Behind him, the two attendants revealed an unbearable expression. At that time, when Lou Ye was in turmoil, such things were not uncommon.
"So from that time onwards, I swore that even in the cold winter, all the people in Lou Ye would be able to eat their fill and wear warm clothes, just like the people in other countries. They wouldn't have to suffer so much!"
GongYimo lowered her head to eat her meat and didn't reply.
At this moment, Longcheng Wuji seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at her seriously and said in a low voice.
"Yesterday, you said you had a solution. I didn't believe you and I couldn't answer you. But now, I can make a promise!"
GongYimo looked up at him and saw that he was staring at her with a burning gaze. The heat and aura around him were like the sun. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
Every word he said was loud.
"As long as you can solve this problem, solve the problem of Lou Ye's winter food shortage. As long as you don't ask me to betray my country and family, I will repay you in any way you want!"
GongYimo's eyes lit up and narrowed like a little fox.
"I can't promise you anything, but … if I can do it, can you really do it?"
"If I go back on my word, I won't enter Eagle Deity Temple after I die!"
"Good!" GongYimo patted his shoulder with her oily hand. "This is what I want! Come, let's eat! "
As she spoke, she tore a big piece of meat for him.
Longcheng Wuji was still feeling emotional. At this moment, he didn't really believe that GongYimo had a solution, but at least she had a solution. It was better than him not knowing what to do now.
So the two of them ate the meat and drank the wine as if they were venting their anger!
After eating and drinking to their fill, Longcheng Wuji felt that the distance between him and GongYimo seemed to have closed up!
He asked in a low voice, "I'm curious. You helped me so much about the horse passage … Yes, you also helped Yuheng a lot. But what good did that do to you and Dai Yu State?"
He didn't mention that GongYimo wanted to solve the food problem. After all, it hadn't happened yet. As a man, he didn't want to put pressure on a little girl.
GongYimo had drunk some wine. Old Cha Er saw that they were chatting happily and didn't come in to disturb them. She became more impudent. At this moment, both her hands were oily and she was holding onto the meat as she spoke incoherently.
"It doesn't do me any good."
Longcheng Wuji was happy. GongYimo was such a shrewd person, but she was so selfless. He didn't believe it even if he said it out loud.
"People's thoughts change …" She ate the meat, but her eyes were staring at the fire in the tent. "In the past, I thought that it would be good if I was rich. I had money and could do a lot of good things. Later, I realized that it was possible to do it alone, but the power was too small. So I instigated everyone to work hard and hope that Dai Yu State would be rich!
Later … I understood what it meant to be the tallest tree in the forest … At that time, I thought that it would be good if everyone was rich! No one would have to worry about anyone else. Even the poorest people could use their own hands to live a good life! … And now. "
She took a big bite of the meat and felt that she had found her ultimate goal in life!
But she didn't say it out loud. Anyway, time would prove her thoughts.
"You just need to know that I'm sincerely helping you, Lou Ye …" GongYimo said in a low voice. "Sometimes, people have to be broad-minded and open-minded. Don't be afraid that others will surpass you if you help others. With tolerance and wisdom, many things can be a win-win situation!"
Unfortunately, Longcheng Wuji didn't fully understand what she said. When she said it later, he finally understood what she meant by a win-win situation.
