Chapter 61 Showdown

The people who were panicking on the river bank quickly mounted their horses and ran downstream to rescue people under Bala's command.

Blessed by the gods, in the lower reaches where the terrain is gentler, someone built a large fence across the river with trunks and branches, stopping most of the people who were washed away by the water.Apparently this wasn't the first time this had happened here.

In order to save others, Bala only hurriedly changed clothes, but now she is wrapped in a cloak and still feels the biting cold wind.He ordered with a gloomy face, "Go and find out, what's going on."

The leader ran to the local people's home and asked about it.It turned out that there was a fissure at the bottom of the river no more than one mile upstream from here, and there was no danger at ordinary times.It's just that in winter, the river freezes, and the river at the crevasse is narrow, so it is easy to freeze the ice wall and intercept the upstream water.

As soon as spring begins, the ice wall melts and loosens, unable to withstand the water potential, it will wash down along with the water that originally accumulated in the crevasse.Since people died because of this every year, Cui Situ sent people to build a large fence downstream the year before last in order to save more lives.Who would have thought that he would be bumped into by Xia Dynasty's troops.

After Bala learned of this, he immediately ordered the leader of the team to be whipped fifty times.After the guide was beaten, he also vented a lot and breathed less.

Yao Yu did not accompany Bala to save people.Once the matter was over and her mind calmed down, Yao Yu couldn't help but feel a little impulsive.

When Bala went to rescue people, she originally wanted to help Xi Zhuer to rest in the camp.But Xi Zhu'er shook off her hand, stared at her resentfully and said, "Who the hell are you?"

Yao Yu knew that she couldn't hide it, but she didn't want to drag Xi Zhu'er, so she just said vaguely, "It's safest if you don't know about some things."

Xizhu'er's voice was cold, "I don't care who you are, if you hurt the governor, I will never forgive you."

Yao Yu looked back at Xi Zhu'er in surprise, although she had long felt that Xi Zhu'er was different from others to Bala, but Yao Yu didn't expect her to say it so bluntly.Could it be that Xizhu'er misunderstood something?
Xi Zhu'er didn't give Yao Yu a chance to explain, she walked back to the tent tremblingly.Xi Zhuer could see very clearly that when the three of them landed just now, in the eyes of Bala looking at Yao Yu, his hostility was disappearing.

When the people who fell into the water were brought back to the camp in twos and threes, the people who stayed behind in the camp brought out the scalded spirits, and each one who came back poured a bowl of it.A huge fire was ignited in the camp, lighting up the entire river red.As soon as the frozen people were moved near the fire, people surrounded them and rubbed their hands and feet to warm them.

Bala was treated better, and besides the spirits he had hot bath water to keep out the cold.After he tidied up and came out of the tent, several corpses that could not be rescued were also brought back to the camp.

Far away from the homeland, the corpse cannot be brought back no matter what.It can only be burned on the spot, and then the ashes are brought back to the Xia Dynasty for burial.

The atmosphere in the team is very depressed.The body was placed on a wooden rack.The living people put a firewood under the wooden frame one by one.Men and women surrounded the wooden frame and began to sing and dance the shaman dance of burying the soul.

"Fortunately, there is an art class, and the drums and music are all ready, so they won't look too bleak when they leave." Yao Yu said as he walked to Bala and sat down.

The two of them faced the big fire, separated by the dancing crowd.Against the background of the fire, the two people who were obviously sitting very close were guarding each other.

"I thought you would at least wait until the moon was on the top of the willows, and then make an appointment with me after dusk." Bala raised the wine jar and took a sip of the wine.

Yao Yu frowned dissatisfied, "So your unpretentious nature is also so annoying?"

Bala looked indifferent, "It can make you notice me, so why not hate me?"

The music before the fire stopped abruptly, as did the funeral dancing.

Yaoyu and Bala followed the crowd around the wooden frame.Bala took the torch from the servant, stepped forward to light the firewood pile under the wooden frame, and then returned to the crowd, leading them to kneel down solemnly.

"The soul returns to the hometown—"

"The soul returns to the hometown—"

"The soul returns to the hometown—"

Singing one after another, Yao Yu's mood continued to sink.Perhaps today is not a good day for a showdown.But what day?
After everyone dispersed, only Yao Yu and Bala stayed beside the fire to drink.

Yao Yu knew that she was too strong to drink, so she was just playing with the wine cup in her hand.

Looking at the swirling wine in the glass, she said calmly, "Who the hell are you?"

"Won't hurt your people. And won't tell about you." At least not yet.Barra is different from Yaoyu, drinking one cup after another non-stop.

Yao Yuliu raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you know my master?"

Bala didn't answer her perfunctorily, but just drank another glass of wine in silence.He didn't know the answer to this question himself.Before today, Bala never felt that he would have any intersection with Tan Yaoyu.But when the two internal forces merged today, he himself began to doubt.

"You are my junior brother?"

"Puff——" Bara took a sip of the wine directly, "If so, it should be the senior brother!"

"You are not as strong as me." Yao Yu said seriously.

Bala choked suddenly, unable to refute.Angrily, he put the wine cup down, ignored Yao Yu, and left with his sleeves thrown.

Zhao Yu didn't stop him.Although Yao Yu still doesn't know anything about Bala, she has intuitively decided that Bala is not a bad person.Their internal strength is in the same line, even if they are not master's apprentices, they should be from the same sect.

Although Bala was indifferent on the surface, his heart was also turned upside down.He can't wait to go back to Jingzhou to ask about it now.

"I also have a junior brother." Yao Yu said before going to bed, and his mood improved a lot miraculously.

If Zimo was here, he would never have trusted Bala so easily.Can invite rain otherwise.She yearns for family, for meeting someone in her situation or origin.Perhaps in this way, she will feel that she is no longer alone in this world.

The team rested near Fenshui for three days before starting again.Although the rescue was timely at that time, many people still fell ill and were left in Bingzhou City.After the team finishes congratulating the Wei Dynasty, they will follow back when they return to the Xia Dynasty.

After leaving Bingzhou, Bala seemed to deliberately avoid inviting rain.Every time he invited Yu to look for her, he used excuses to practice his congratulatory speeches, and then recited a bunch of them with retroflex in a serious manner.Even someone like Yao Yu who doesn't understand poetry can tell that this is definitely not a congratulatory speech.

Yao Yu thinks that the younger brother must have difficulties.Even she herself didn't tell the whole story.In this case, let's not know each other.So the two of them were busy with their own business, and everyone could see the estrangement.

On the day Yaoyu entered Pingcheng, when he looked up from the carriage, he saw Zimo sitting on the restaurant.This is the only way for the Xia Dynasty mission to enter Pingcheng.

Yao Yu has no doubt that Zimo has been guarding here.She and Zimo looked at each other, squinted their eyes with a smile, and suddenly had a feeling of returning home.

Xi Zhu'er, who was riding with her, scolded, "What are you looking at? So happy?"

Since Yaoyu became estranged from Bala, Xi Zhuer's attitude towards Yaoyu has also improved a little.At this time, seeing Yaoyu smiling happily, she couldn't help poking her head out to look around.

"It's nothing. I just feel like I've finally arrived in Pingcheng. It's great!"

"You may not be favored when you arrive." Xi Zhu'er still couldn't help stabbing Yao Yu.

Because Xia Dynasty's team was delayed a lot of time on the road, Wei Huang's celebration began on the second day after Yao Yu and the others entered the city.

The whole Pingcheng became noisy.

　The second one is here!Depression and warmth, I want to write both feelings well at the same time without conflicting.
