Chapter 112 Roast Whole Lamb

Zhao Chen's injury healed quickly, Dolan's father changed his wound medicine, and glanced at him several times in surprise.

"Thank you for taking us in," Zhao Chen said solemnly to him, "May I ask which branch of the Northern Grassland you are from, and when we get out of trouble in the future, we may come to visit again and thank you for saving our lives."

Dolan's father also became serious: "I am the second son of the Wurilan patriarch, and the whole family has been separated... There is no need for rewards, Dolan saved you, I can't ruin the child's kindness," he lowered his voice He added, "Besides, I don't think you may be able to go back. Alongke went to the mountain to inquire, and heard that the news of Zhao Chen's father and son's rebellion spread all over Xiguan."

There were only the two of them in the tent, and Zhao Chen subconsciously looked at Father Dolan, but he met a pair of probing eyes, he couldn't help laughing, with a calm expression on his face, and said, "You don't need to try, I am Zhao Chen himself. "

Seeing his sincerity and frankness, Father Dolan relaxed a lot when he finally found out the details of the two strangers in the family.

He patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder, shook his head and said: "You Han people are really confused. How can there be a general who will rebel after winning a battle? In my opinion, you might as well just stay in the grassland. Look at us, we don't have to bend over to anyone. Bend your knees and live freely, even though the grasslands are not as lively and prosperous as the Central Plains, at least you don’t have to worry about your lives here.”

Zhao Chen told him to speak wryly.

Given a choice, who wants to live a precarious life?More than ten years ago, all he thought was to survive the battlefield, make contributions, and support the family. Even if fate later stepped up to a high position, he was still conscientious, careful in every word and deed, and what he did was nothing more than a loyal person. Words only.But the monarch sent a child to him. From that moment on, he actually had no choice.

All men are bloody, he has come to this point, he has to grit his teeth and go on, otherwise it will be a catastrophe and annihilation of the whole family!

Zhao Chen sighed and said: "No matter how good the grassland is, it's not my home. I still have to go back, but I have to ask you to take it in during this period, otherwise we, father and son, will not be able to move forward."

Father Dolan didn't say any more.

"Have a good rest. I'll ask Dolan Amu to make some food. You can also meet my family at noon."

He lifted the curtain and came out, looked up and saw his little daughter was with Zhao Yuan, brushing a few horses, and there was a burst of carefree laughter from a distance.He looked at it for a long while, then sighed unconsciously.

The vast grasslands on this side of the mountain pass almost all belong to the Wurilan clan. Although Father Dolan cannot inherit the position of patriarch, as the son of the current patriarch and the brother of the future patriarch, he owns the grassland with the most abundant water and grass. A large number of horses, cattle and sheep, life is very rich.

Zhao Yuan was the first to lift the curtains and entered the largest tent. He was greeted by the smell of mutton grilled over charcoal fire.He couldn't help but took a deep breath, which made several shepherd women sitting by the campfire laugh, and couldn't help showing embarrassing expressions.

Zhao Chen walked behind unhurriedly, shook his head when he saw this, and stretched out his hand to pinch the back of his son's neck as a comfort.

"On the grassland, roasted whole lamb is a grand dish, and it is not served to non-visited guests." Father Dolan looked at them proudly, "Take another sip of the kumiss made by my Ahe, and you will never want to go back !"

Next to him, a middle-aged woman in a black colored woven dress stood beside him with a smile on her face.

Zhao Yuan immediately understood that "Ahe" probably refers to a title like a wife, and this woman who looks rich and exquisite among herdsmen should be the hostess of this pasture, Dolan's mother.

"Auntie." He stepped forward and saluted Aunt Dolan as a junior according to Han etiquette.

Aunt Dolan supported him with a smile, touched his forehead, and said a few words that he didn't understand.The people here are of different races from the Quan Rong, and although they are only separated by a mountain, they even have different languages ​​and cultures.He can talk to Dolan and the others in the lingua franca of the grassland, but this aunt obviously only speaks their local dialect!

He straightened up in bewilderment and looked at his father.

Zhao Chen didn't look at him, and nodded to Aunt Dolan with a natural expression, and his mouth was also bald. It was obvious that the two of them spoke the same language and understood what the other was talking about.

Zhao Yuan opened his mouth wide: "..."

His father is even proficient in several languages!

Zhao Chen pulled him to sit around the bonfire, and sneered: "Look at your worthless appearance, you were told to learn more grassland dialects, but you refused, now you don't understand?"

Zhao Yuan squinted at him depressedly.This person, who was affectionately pinched before, how long has passed, and then he started to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson... It's not romantic at all!

Dolan's father also dragged his wife to sit over, and the previous women stepped aside one after another, and they turned out to be servants.When Dolan entered the tent with his brothers, Zhao Chen had already drank several bowls of kumiss with Dolan's father.

"Father, why don't you wait for us!" Dolan scowled, ran to Zhao Yuan and sat down.Perhaps she was blown by the wind, and her clean face was flushed. Although her skin was slightly dark, her eyes were big and bright, her teeth were white, and she had a hearty and lovely smile.Zhao Yuan has gotten along with her a lot these days, and he already treats her like a little sister.

Daddy Dolan was drunk, pointing to the three young people sitting beside him and said: "These are my three sons, the eldest son Geri Lang, the second son Wutu, and the youngest son Along Ke." He nodded at the side Ge Rilang and Wutu said, "Both of them already have the title of warrior, but Along Ke is still young and not enough."

Although he said so, his smile was full of pride and pride.

Three tall youths held up their wine bowls in unison, respected Zhao Chen, and then drank with their heads raised.

Zhao Chen rewarded them with a bowl of wine, then patted Zhao Yuan on the head, and said, "My son is not bad either, he is young and has fought a lot of battles, let them compare someday, what do you think?"

"Okay!" Daddy Dolan laughed loudly, "I've heard about the reputation of your father and son a long time ago! I just want to see it too!"

Zhao Yuan grinned and patted the back of his head, his father was so exhausted, he just used up that slap just now.As he was touching it, when he turned his head, he met Dolan's big bright eyes.

"..."

What is the meaning of staring at Lao Tzu like this?

Dolan hesitated for a long time, leaned over and asked, "Is he... really your father?"

"Of course it is!" Zhao Yuan put down his hand inexplicably, and then under the shocked eyes of Dolan's sister, he suddenly remembered what he said a few days ago.

Yes, at that time Dolan asked him who Zhao Chen belonged to.

What did he answer?

"He's the one I like!"

Zhao Yuan took a breath slowly, covered his face with one hand, and was speechless about his impulse at the time.

Dolan's eyes are wide open. There are many bonded brothers on the grassland, such as her second brother Wu Tu, but at least everyone is not related by blood. Is this really okay?

"I, I won't say it," she looked at Zhao Yuan with a look of lovelessness, and hurriedly comforted her in a small voice, "It's normal for you to like your father, and I like my father and mother too. of!"

Don't talk about my sister anymore, please... Zhao Yuan covered his face and said nothing, but his exposed ears had already turned red.The reason, it has nothing to do with Dolan.

"Did you really say that?" Comrade Zhao Chen's low voice rang in his ears, with a little joke and a subtle smile.

Ahhhhh! !! !!

Father, why do you have such good ears! ! !

The few people sitting opposite the bonfire could not hear what they said, but they saw Zhao Yuan and Dolan huddled together and whispered their ears.Several women laughed ambiguously, but the men gradually became serious, and their eyes on Zhao Yuan became very critical, especially Dolan's brother.

Father Dolan coughed lightly, looked at Zhao Chen and asked, "Well, I wonder how old General Zhao is this year?"

Zhao Chen raised his head and said, "You are his elder, so call him A Yuan. According to your calculation, he will be fifteen after the winter solstice." Anu holds a coming-of-age ceremony, so it's not wrong to say that.

Daddy Dolan glanced at the opposite daughter again, absent-mindedly said: "It's still a little...a little..."

A certain father glanced at Zhao Yuan at the side with a half-smile, and continued to exchange cups with Father Dolan.Dolan and Zhao Yuan, who had no idea that they had just experienced a confrontation in Yitu, gathered together and talked in a low voice.

Dolan looked at the boy in front of him in surprise: "You are actually younger than me! You are as big as Aronke!"

Zhao Yuanzheng picked up the sea bowl in front of him and took a sip of kumiss carefully. Hearing Dolan's sigh, he couldn't help but squint at her: "I won't call you sister, don't think about it!"

Dolan was laughing and not angry.

Fortunately, Dolan understood Zhao Yuan's thoughts from the beginning, so he didn't think about it at all.Otherwise, at her amorous age, if she meets a handsome young Han boy in distress and gets along day and night, she might not be tempted.Even Father Dolan couldn't help but think too much when he saw them talking and laughing together.

But he knew very well in his heart that sitting around the bonfire at this time did not mean that they could get along for a long time: the father and son in front of him would eventually leave the northern grassland.

It was late at night, and Zhao Chen and his son went back to the small tent to rest.Father Dolan originally wanted to replace them with a large tent for guests, but Zhao Chen refused.They have only been out of danger for a few days. To be on the safe side, it is better not to make too much publicity.

After the two bathed, Zhao Yuan sat cross-legged behind Zhao Chen and changed his bandages.

"Okay!" He patted a certain father's strong and smooth back, and couldn't help touching it again.Zhao Chen grabbed his paws with a backhand very simply, turned over and pressed the young man on the felt blanket, the two of them pressed their chests and abdomens together, their legs interlaced, and their breaths gradually increased as their eyes attracted each other. closer.

"You haven't explained, what did you say behind my back?" Zhao Chen almost pressed his lips against the young man's lips, and the two of them were close to each other's chests, and even the vibration of the sound was passed on to Zhao Chen. Yuan.

Zhao Yuan blushed to the neck, but looked at the other party without showing any weakness, with joy in his heart.He can feel that the way Father treats him now is like treating a man who is equal to him, not a son who needs protection.

Zhao Chen couldn't help laughing, put his arm on top of Zhao Yuan's head, kissed his lips, and said in a coaxing tone: "Hurry up, or you will be punished by military law."
