Chapter 745
Yun Duo unintentionally overheard the couple's conversation, and many doubts arose in her heart; she hurried forward to stop the couple who were about to quarrel.
"Sorry for the intrusion, big brother, I heard you say you picked up a pair of children at home?"
"Is that true?"
The man never expected Yun Duo to appear out of nowhere; although she looked like a young lady, her bearing made people feel her identity was not simple.
Dawu's face darkened, he took He Ya's hand and was about to leave.
He Ya stared coldly at the youth without blinking: "Dawu, I cannot go with you to raise the Han children you picked up."
"Our relationship ends here; go back and raise your children, be the eagle of your grassland, I will seek my own happiness."
"Or else you could sell the children; isn't this young lady interested?"
"Shut up!" Dawu gave a bitter smile: "I understand, you just look down on our family's poverty, you disdain us and make up all these excuses."
"I know you and the chief's son have already been together; I won't stop you from pursuing happiness, you may go."
"Hun Kun is the chief's son, wealthier than me, his family is well-off; if he can take a liking to you, I'd be happy for you, but my father and I never regret rescuing those two children on the road—go away!"
He Ya gritted her teeth and coldly smiled: "Fine, don't regret it."
Yun Duo, standing aside, watched the couple argue and even break up, finding it hard to interject.
But she never cared much for worldly conventions, so she didn't mind that this young man was heartbroken; she raised her hand and stopped him.
"Big brother, you still haven't answered my earlier question—did you pick up a pair of Han children?"
Dawu frowned tightly; his lover of many years had just broken up with him, and he hadn't expected a bewildering woman to appear out of nowhere, pursuing him and constantly asking about the whereabouts of those two little ones.
He suddenly felt a hint of suspicion, snorted coldly, pushed aside Yun Duo who was blocking the way, and walked out.
Yun Duo didn't expect him to act directly; she was shoved and staggered.
Seeing him walk out of the shop, Yun Duo's gaze gradually turned cold as she chased after him.
The few guards protecting Yun Duo behind hurried to follow, but unexpectedly Yun Duo used her lightness skill and left them far behind.
The guards were instantly stunned—this lady is actually a martial practitioner?
Such lightness skill is truly impressive.
Dawu had originally brought He Ya to the jewelry shop to buy ornaments, but he didn't expect He Ya already bore a grudge against him.
Their tribe is the smallest in Mo Bei, and their family is the poorest within the tribe.
Mainly because grandmother and mother are seriously ill; the whole family struggles to earn money but still can't afford the medical fees.
Dawu's father, Eda Han, is honest and cautious in his dealings, and he has also suffered plenty of resentment in the tribe.
This time, after great difficulty selling furs in Wan Chuan City and earning some money, he unexpectedly picked up two more children, and all the earnings went toward them.
The people in the tribe laughed at their family, laughing that his father might be crazy? Picking up two freeloaders? And still unwilling to discard them.
But his father said that since they had already been picked up, they should be treated as their own children and raised well.
In effect, another two mouths to feed were added, and the family's burden almost entirely fell on him and his father.
Unexpectedly, He Ya's father looked down on their family.
That's understandable; their family's poverty is evident to all in the tribe.
But what chilled him was that He Ya, after such a long relationship with him, would say it's over and immediately throw herself into the arms of the tribe chief's son.
At this moment Dawu felt disheartened and cold, his hand still clutching the chain he had just bought for He Ya in the jewelry shop.
In his anger he didn't have time to return it; he rode his horse slowly toward the tribe, not expecting the sound of horse hooves behind him.
Dawu hurriedly turned his head, only to see the girl who had just stopped him now riding a reddish-brown horse, galloping toward him.
Dawu was stunned for a moment; this girl's horsemanship was superb, and before he could even finish admiring it, Yun Duo had already reined her horse sideways to block his path.
Yun Duo smiled: "Big brother, where is your home? I'll accompany you part of the way."
Dawu was already in a bad mood; being pestered by Yun Duo made him somewhat annoyed, and he coldly snorted: "For a woman to cling to me like this is utterly shameless."
Yun Duo lightly smiled: "I'd like to see the children you picked up; perhaps I know them."
Dawu felt he had encountered a lunatic, and hastily said: "I have no time to talk with you; we don't even know each other, why should I tell you about my family affairs? Please get lost."
Gu Jiu Ling lost the children, her whole person felt gloomy, and Yun Duo, seeing this, felt heartbroken.
While recuperating in Wan Chuan City, Yun Duo had already ordered that whenever anyone inquired about the children, she must personally look into it.
Now seeing this Han man with a short temper, even unwilling to take her to see the children.
Yun Duo took a breath and smiled: "Big brother, I won't let you guide me for nothing; take this silver first."
"Don't, don't try to get close," Dawu coldly snorted: "Get lost!"
Yun Duo's gaze gradually turned cold as she drew the sword at her waist.
"You refuse a toast, only to drink the penalty?"
Dawu is just an honest herdsman; he never expected this woman Yun Duo to be so fierce, and he felt a bit afraid.
Dawu tightened the reins, instinctively stepped back, then lunged toward the left front.
Dawu was the best rider in their tribe, but at the instant he charged out, he felt as if something had struck the back of his head.
A sharp pain surged, and blood instantly seeped out.
Yun Duo's strike actually knocked Dawu clean off his horse; he landed with a thud on the ground, looking in disbelief as Yun Duo slowly approached him.
Just now this woman actually smashed his head with her sword sheath; in the face of absolute martial prowess, even the finest horsemanship is a joke.
Dawu covered his head and demanded: "Who exactly are you? What do you want?"
Yun Duo stepped forward, gradually crouched before Dawu, and grabbed his collar.
Though she looks delicate and pretty, her words are like a blade.
"I ask you again: where are the two children you picked up on the road? Take me to see them!"
Dawu suddenly recalled that those two children had hidden in his father's chest to evade the kidnappers.
Now seeing this woman, she is also a great villain, extremely ferocious.
Although Da Wo had only spent a short time with those two children, he had indeed developed feelings for them—how could he betray the two children?
Yun Duo's eyes gradually revealed a hint of killing intent; she grabbed him and pulled him up, coldly smiling: "Not speaking? Fine, I'll make you talk."
Da Wo wanted to break free, but Yun Duo tightly gripped his arm, and the guards behind him also rushed over.
"Yun Duo, miss!" several guards hurriedly bowed and saluted.
Yun Duo coldly glanced at Da Wo: "Take him away."
