Quick mission: We don't make trouble

The maid said her name was Yangjin. Since she knew some of the official language of the Great Zhou, she volunteered to take Zhu Qingqing and others for a stroll in the village.

Since the clothes they took off last night were washed, Zhu Qingqing and the others were still wearing Tibetan costumes. In this way, they not only looked seamless, but looked more like Tibetan nobles.

Especially with Yangjin accompanying him, he would bow to the villagers from afar whenever he met them along the way.

Zhu Qingqing was somewhat uncomfortable with this.

She hasn't found the feeling of being a nouveau riche yet.

Wang Xiangdong didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, his current role was to be the bodyguard of the lady and the young lady, and he only needed to follow behind with a stern face.

If we talk about the most unrestrained person, it has to be Wu Di.

I'm at the age when I'm playful and active, and like to play with cats and chase dogs. I used to be bound by various rules in the big city, and I was not allowed to do this or that. But now I suddenly traveled here, and I feel like a fish in water!

Look, when they see a puppy, they play with it. When they see a lamb, they touch it. They even try to provoke the yaks raised by the Tibetans...

When he saw a group of Tibetan children staring at them with curiosity, Wu Di went up to say hello, and didn't care whether they could understand him or not, and just chattered a lot... The group of children were so scared that they scattered immediately, but they didn't run far. They hid in the corner and peeked secretly, and no matter how Wu Di waved, they didn't come over.

Wu Di helplessly spread his hands and said, "I can't even make friends."

The village isn't large. Beyond the prominent Lama Temple and Mr. Tashi's magnificent manor, there are only a few workshops and shops dotting the landscape. These houses appear somewhat simple, yet they brimming with life. A quick stroll through the village reveals every nook and cranny.

The group slowly emerged from the village and onto the main road. This wide road, the only official highway in the area, stretched straight into the distance, like a giant dragon lying across the earth. One end led to the Great Zhou, the other to the capital of Tubo. Standing on the road, one could almost feel the sedimentation of history and the vicissitudes of time.

Wu Di excitedly pointed down the mountain, his eyes gleaming with hope and curiosity, and said, "Mom, if we keep walking along this road, we should be able to return to our hometown, right?"

Zhu Qingqing nodded slightly in agreement, but at the same time revealed a hint of helplessness and sadness, and replied softly: "Well, yes, we can walk back to our hometown, but... it's just that it's no longer what we remember. Everything will have to start all over again!"

Wu Di gazed resolutely toward the majestic mountains in the distance, then toward the winding road that stretched into the endless distance. Instead of feeling melancholy like an adult, she mimicked the characters in a TV series, commenting with lofty ambition: "What's there to be afraid of starting over? Watch how I carve out a new world and create something great!"

Zhu Qingqing couldn't help laughing. She gently touched Wu Di's head and said softly, "Don't brag, little kid. Growing up safely is the greatest blessing."

In reality, this wasn't Zhu Qingqing being sentimental or whining. After all, the world today is full of unknowns, and no one can predict what the future will hold. In such an environment, surviving safely and striving to survive is paramount; any other unrealistic expectations are mere fantasies.

Wu Di snorted, but didn't refute his mother's words. He just said to Wang Xiangdong, "Uncle Dong, let's go back to our hometown to ride horses. Now you teach me how to ride. I don't want to be a drag."

Among the three, Wang Xiangdong and Zhu Qingqing can ride horses, only little Wu Di can't.

Wang Xiangdong glanced at Zhu Qingqing.

He is a guard now and cannot express his opinions easily.

Zhu Qingqing said: "You have to learn how to ride a horse."

There were no cars for them to ride in this era, so they could only ride horses or carriages. It would be more convenient if they could ride horses by themselves. Although Wu Di was young, Zhu Qingqing still hoped that she could learn one more skill, so that she could at least ride horses faster when escaping.

So Zhu Qingqing said to Yangjin, who was standing in the distance, "Yangjin, can we go horseback riding?"

Yangjin had already received instructions from the housekeeper to do her best to meet the guests' needs, so she agreed, "Okay. Madam and Miss, follow me."

He took the three of them and walked towards the grassland where they were yesterday.

Yangjin shouted a few words towards the grassland, and then saw a horse galloping towards them, followed by several empty horses, one of which was a pony.

Wu Di was extremely excited.

This pony was prepared for her.

Zhu Qingqing said to Wang Xiangdong, "Lao Geng, Didi is in your hands."

It's not that she doesn't want to teach her daughter, but her level is limited and she needs more practice. Besides, Didi may not listen to her, which will embarrass both mother and daughter. It's better to relax and let Wang Xiangdong, a professional, teach her.

Zhu Qingqing was confident in Wang Xiangdong's skills. Just kidding, when he was in the army, he used to patrol on horseback. That was a war horse, a true border knight.

"Don't worry, ma'am, I will definitely teach the young lady."

Hand Didi over to Wang Xiangdong.

Zhu Qingqing was also busy. She said to Yangjin, "How about taking a horseback ride with me?"

Yangjin bowed and replied, "Yes, ma'am."

So the two of them each chose a horse, jumped onto its back, squeezed their legs against the horse's belly, and shook the reins lightly, and the horse galloped away like an arrow.

They galloped across the vast grassland at lightning speed, the sound of their horses' hooves resounding through the sky, as if merging with the earth and sky. Wherever they passed, sheep, cattle and horses gave way, as if they were also moved by their heroic momentum.

The sunlight shines on them, reflecting their agile figures.

The wild flowers on the grassland swayed in the wind, as if they were cheering for them.

The wind messed up Zhu Qingqing's hair, but she continued to run without hesitation. She just kept running, letting her mind empty and not thinking about anything...

Gradually the horse slowed down. Zhu Qingqing looked up and saw that Yangjin had run to the front and stopped, waiting for her.

Zhu Qingqing chased after him and said, "Yangjin, your riding skills are really good. It's so enjoyable to have you with me. I haven't enjoyed riding like this in a long time."

The last time was when I was on an inspection tour.

Yangjin said, "Madam, you are too kind. I grew up on horseback, so these are nothing to mention."

Zhu Qingqing thought that was indeed the case. There was no Tibetan who could not ride a horse, from children to the elderly.

Yangjin: "Madam, we have gone a long way, let's go back."

"it is good."

Zhu Qingqing and Yangjin slowed down and rode side by side, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the grassland and chatting. Zhu Qingqing exclaimed, "It's so beautiful here." Yangjin smiled and said, "If you like it here, you can come here often. We Tibetans are warm and hospitable. You are welcome to come anytime."

Zhu Qingqing nodded, feeling a warmth in her heart.

But this is not her hometown, and she still hopes to return to her hometown, no matter what it looks like now.
