On the Gobi Desert, a scrawny young man, carrying a wooden stick, was walking forward.

In the sky, the fiery sun is scorching the earth, and the scorching sun is shining on the young man, who is entangled in simple rags, and this young man is Liu Guang, who escaped from the lonely city of Anxi.

The sun seemed to be getting more and more poisonous, and the boy's mouth was already dry, and his eyes seemed to be getting more and more misty.

It's been about a month since Anthy escaped. Who can imagine how the boy survived all the way through the vast desert for so long.

At the beginning, although Liu Guang carefully distributed food and water along the way, he still ate the only food and water in less than three days, and even gnawed the animal skin on his body.

Even so, Liu Guang saw that he was about to die, but fortunately, there was no endless road, and God might not want him to go, so he found an oasis water source, so that he could be buried in the sand sea before he was too early.

The boy recuperated in the oasis for more than ten days, drank the water in the oasis pool when he was thirsty, and looked for it near the water source of the oasis when he was hungry, chewing and eating even the bark of poisonous insects. Perhaps he was too weak, but Liu Guang replenished water and some food in the oasis before he set out on a long journey again.

On the next road, Liu Guang didn't know how long he walked, anyway, he ran out of food and drank water. If you don't drink, you drink your own urine and horse urine, if you don't have anything to eat, you get hungry, and at night the weather is cooler, and you are lucky to meet some poisonous insects and snakes.

Liu Guang held on, but the gray and white horse couldn't stand it, there was no water to drink, and he died of thirst. Liu Guang looked at Guo Yuan's war horse, relentlessly, and used the dagger on his body to take blood from the horse's neck. drank horse blood, ate horse meat, and insisted on going on the road. After eating the horse meat on his body and drinking the horse blood in the pot, he couldn't urinate anymore. For two days and three nights, Liu Guang did not enter a drop of water, and he was close to the place where the lamp was dry.

Liu Guang was in a trance, his eyes were already blurry, trembling and walking towards the east, leaving a line of shallow footprints behind him, and his mouth was vaguely babbling the word home.

A gust of wind blew across his face, Liu Guang tried to open his eyes, and saw a house not far away, where there were many people, Liu Guang saw Guo Yuan and others were waving to him, the young man smiled, and said softly: "Uncle Guo, everyone ......"

The boy's eyes went black and he fell.

The boy opened his eyes, and there was a grass hut in front of him, which seemed to him to be heaven. The walls and roof are sturdy, and the sky is not visible, and there are all kinds of utensils in the house, both seen and unseen, and it seems that everything is complete.

He got up and looked around, and at this time an old woman walked in, wearing a gray cloth robe, holding a bowl and walking towards Liu Guang, and said: "Young man, you wake up, come, drink this bowl of medicine, you see if you are lost in the desert, fortunately, you have a big life, I still have a breath when I met you, and I slept for three days, I thought I couldn't save it." ”

The young man looked at the old woman blankly and said, "Uncle, where is this? Are you Tang Min?"

It turned out that this young man Liu Guang had been with Guo Yuan and them since he was a child, and he was living in a lonely city, they were all men, they were afraid of where they would all die, and they were even more afraid that Liu Guang was young, and he had never seen a woman, so he died like them, so he didn't want him to regret it, and he never mentioned it in front of him. Seeing that the woman in front of him was dressed the best he had ever seen, except for the Fan people, he asked very curiously.

The old woman was stunned by his question, thinking to herself that this young man must have lost his brain.

When the old woman first found him, she saw that he was ragged and dying, and that she had come from the west, and thought that he was a fan, and she did not want to save him at first.

Later, he found that he had hairpins, jade plates and tokens printed with Tang characters, although the old woman did not know how to read, but she still knew that it was Tang Chinese, so she rescued him.

When the old woman saw that the young man must have had a bad brain, she felt pity.

"Poor child, at a young age, has lost his brain, alas!" lamented the old woman.

Liu Guang heard her say that her brain was broken, so she was not happy at that time, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, my brain is not broken, I just want to know where this is, whether I am in Datang." ”

The old woman saw that he seemed to be talking normally, so she said: "This is Xiliang, of course it is Datang! Young man, you are really fine." As he spoke, he touched Liu Guang's forehead with his hand.

"I'm really fine, this is Datang, I'm here, I'm home. Although Liu Guang's body was still very weak, he still jumped off the bed like a child.

The old woman looked puzzled, Liu Guang took the old woman's hand and said excitedly: "Uncle, I am Tang Min from Anxi, I finally went home, back to Datang." ”

Liu Guang touched his body and found that the hairpin, jade plate and token were missing, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, have you seen anything on me?"

When the old woman saw that the young man was very anxious, she smiled and said, "I'll keep it for you, so I'll get it for you." After speaking, he turned around to fetch it, Liu Guang looked at the figure of the old woman and said to himself: "Why does the uncle look a little different from us!"

The old woman took the things and handed them to Liu Guangdao: "Child, I don't care where you come from, you have to tell the old man, how did you cross this vast desert alone, you said that you are the Tang people of Anxi, and the Tang people left in Anxi are now under the control of the Tibetan people, how did you escape, what is going on, you have to tell me." ”

After Liu Guang took the hairpin token, he roughly told the old woman about his experience.

After listening to his words, the old woman said with some tears in her eyes: "Child, I didn't expect that your unreturned remnants would be so tragic, it really hurts you, and now that you are back, you don't have to worry about it anymore." ”

Liu Guang choked up a little and said, "I went home, but Uncle Guo and the others never came back." ”

Liu Guang shook the hairpin and token in his hand, it was the heroic soul of his Uncle Guo and hundreds of flying cavalry, and he brought them back.

"No, child, your Uncle Guo They gave up their lives for you, just hoping that you would live well, so you have to cheer up, because you are their hope, you not only have to live well, but also live well for them, by the way, you can't call me uncle anymore in the future." ”

Liu Guang was a little puzzled, and then the old woman explained the reason to him.

It turned out that the old woman's surname was Song, and she had a son named Zhang Chun, who was now a soldier in Liangzhou. This is a place called Zhangjia Village outside Wuye Town, which is one of the six towns in Xiliang. Later, Aunt Song told him a lot of things.

Liu Guang also listened attentively, knowing many things and things that he did not know, the more he longed for it in his heart, and wanted to leave.

Since his body had not yet recovered, the old lady Song was worried about him, so she insisted on not allowing him to leave and asked him to take care of his body here.

Although Liu Guang yearns for the outside world very much in his heart, he thinks back: if he insists on leaving, his body will not be able to come, and he will suffer from no home, so he has to take care of his body first and then make plans.

Although Liu Guang is now staying here, he still wants to see the outside world after all.
