Tu Ya and Hulan were surrounded by people, and outside the tribe, Dong Huiying was the first to jump down from the camel, then she helped Liang Haoming down.
The man’s spirit was indeed very poor. His fingertips lightly touched her brow, as if he disliked seeing her frown.
"It’s okay," he was fine, just, a bit tired.
"Mm!" She caressed his cheek tenderly and sighed. "We’ve reached the place, we can breathe a little easier now. There, close your eyes, get some sleep, and rest."
Liang Haoming looked towards the noisy crowd—too loud.
As if reading his thoughts, she gently covered his ears with her small hands.
He gave her a look, then obediently closed his eyes.
He needed to sleep well, eat a bit more, and once his spirit recovered and he was healthy again, his wife... could smile, no need to worry anymore.
the initially chaotic noises suddenly quieted down.
Dong Huiying looked up and saw a robust middle-aged woman with a commanding presence, walking in front of Tu Ya.
"I am Enhe Tuoya, mother of Tu Ya."
The woman revealed her identity.
Dong Huiying glanced at Liang Haoming; he was very tired and not sleeping soundly.
"Leader Tuoya, we have brought our own felt tents, and I wonder if it would be possible to pitch them outside of your tribe."
Tuoya replied with a kind smile, "Lady Dong, you are too courteous. Tu Ya has already told me about your situation. I’ve had someone prepare felt tents for the three of you. If you don’t mind, please come with me."
Despite her imposing appearance, this female leader was quite amiable, and Dong Huiying immediately picked up Liang Haoming.
Tu Ya had intended to come forward and help, but before she could step out, this strong young woman had already firmly picked up the man.
Tu Ya pouted, "Mother!!"
She grabbed onto Tuoya’s arm and shook it. Tuoya glanced at Tu Ya, who suddenly choked up, then hung her head unhappily, not daring to act out again.
Clearly, Tuoya had learned the entire situation from Tu Ya and knew that Dong Huiying and Liang Haoming were husband and wife, so she had people tidy up two clean felt tents: one for the couple to live in, and one for Hong Xiangjun to live in by herself.
As the only single person, Hong Xiangjun: "..."
The inside of the tents was very clean. After settling Liang Haoming, Dong Huiying stepped out from the felt tent.
When she came out, she saw Tuoya and others were still waiting outside.
"Lady Dong, Tu Ya is my only daughter and the next leader of the Kechar tribe. You saved her, and you are a benefactor to me and the entire tribe. Tu Ya told me that you came to the Desert to search for someone. You may speak now. Tell me the features of the person and I, Tuoya, will do my utmost to help!"
Dong Huiying did not hesitate as this was part of her deal with Tu Ya, so she took out a wooden carving of a small figure: "The first person I’m looking for is a wood craftsman, and this carving comes from this craftsman’s hands."
"As for the second person, I do not know if they are male or female, how old they are, only that they have been living reclusively in the Desert, and some people call this person ’Witch’!"
Tuoya’s face remained smiling, "I can do that. I will have people start the search right away. It’s getting late, you should rest for now, Lady Dong."
Tuoya bid farewell to Dong Huiying, then led Tu Ya and Hulan away.
When Tuoya returned to her own tent, she sat down, picked up a cup, and took a sip of water. The composure she struggled to maintain shattered. It was as if she was shaken, her fingers gripped the cup tightly, her arms trembled slightly, as if she had heard something unbelievable...
