Just when Yunyang had already accepted his fate and was about to become a lonely beast and ghost in this desert, he heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yunyang could hear the sound of a horse running, so it couldn't be the mother-in-law coming back. So she turned with great difficulty in the direction of the sound of the horse's hooves and shouted, "Help! Help me! ”

Because of the darkness here, and Yun Yang was thinking about Luoyang at this time, he involuntarily forgot to speak Akaya dialect, but called for help in Central Plains dialect. She shouted a few times, and sure enough, she heard the sound of horses' hooves rushing in her direction.

In the darkness, Yunyang vaguely saw someone turn over and dismount, come over and say, "Who was calling for help just now?" ”

As soon as Yunyang heard that it was the Central Plains dialect, he almost cried excitedly: "Eungong, I'm here!" ”

The man walked to the hay truck, and when he saw Yunyang's appearance, he couldn't help but say angrily, "Girl, who tied you up here?" I threw you into this desert, and if I hadn't found you, I'm afraid you'd have frozen to death tomorrow morning. ”

Yunyang hurriedly said: "I was kidnapped by the people here, and they will put me to death." ”

When the man heard this, he said decisively, "Since this is the case, I will take you away quickly." ”

The man immediately walked over and untied the rope from Yoonyang's body. When this one got closer, Yunyang saw that this was a young man about twenty years old, and he was quite handsome. What's more, Yoonyang smells a strange fragrance as he gets closer.

Yunyang grew up in the court and has been dealing with spices since he was a child. When she was in the mansion of Mrs. Yuande, there were often spice merchants from the Western Regions who came to the mansion to sell spices, although she was a young lady of the family, hidden in the embroidery building, but always curious about these specially dressed people who went in and out of the mansion. So I often asked my grandmother, what are those people who come in and go out through the back door, and who are always wrapped in a piece of animal skin, do?

Mama told her that it was a spice merchant from the Western Regions, because the people of the Western Regions liked to give animal skins to reputable merchants, so these merchants carried animal skins to prove that they could get good goods.

Seven or eight-year-old Yunyang was very interested in these furry animal skins, and finally one day she sneaked into the front yard while her mother was not paying attention, found a spice merchant in the Western Regions, and with his consent, touched the animal skins on his shoulders.

Then, Yunyang was pulled back by the panicked grandmother. Although the mischievous Yunyang was grounded by Mrs. Yuande for a month after he returned, the special fragrance of the spice merchant in the Western Regions impressed Yunyang deeply and will never forget it.

This is just a dusty memory for Yunyang, but he didn't expect to be awakened at such a critical moment. When she was helped out of the hay cart by this man, she already had a judgment in her heart about this man—this man was young, and he was walking alone in the middle of the night, so it was evident that he was an apprentice under a spice merchant, and was sent by his master on an urgent errand. His master was able to send him to complete the task alone, and gave him a thousand-mile horse, which shows that he must have valuable money on him. A person who has valuable money and can come to his aid because he cries for help must be of excellent character.

With such an analysis, Yunyang's heart became more steady.

But after a night of fright, she got out of the hay truck and her legs were so weak that she could barely stand up.

The man was very considerate, and slowly helped Yunyang to walk towards him. He comforted Yunyang as he walked: "Girl, don't be afraid, I will definitely help you return to the Central Plains." To tell you the truth, my sister was also taken captive by the barbarians from the north. ”

Yun Yang was shocked in his heart and immediately turned his head to look at him. When the young man said this, there was already something shining under the starry sky in his eyes: "At that time, our family lived in Yunzhou, and once we encountered the Khitans going south to plunder, and my sister ran a little slower, so she ...... It's been ten years and no more news. ”

Sighing lightly, Yunyang said with emotion: "You are so kind and righteous, your sister will definitely be protected by your grace, and she will definitely meet good people to help her." ”

The young man smiled and said softly, "You are a very good talker. ”

Yunyang listened to the meaning of his words, and seemed to say that he was quite good at observing words and feelings, and felt a little embarrassed for a while. Because Yunyang was completely moved by feeling just now, he never meant to deliberately flatter, but when he said this, he didn't know how to respond.

Both fell silent, but the subtle voices in the distance became apparent.

They said at the same time: "What sound?" ”

There was a sound of sand rolling in the distance, and although it was continuous, it was extremely faint, and if they were still chatting, they would not have noticed it.

Yunyang was shocked, and he already understood that those mothers-in-law had come back with a carriage.

In a hurry, Yunyang whispered to the young man, "Get on the horse!" ”

The young man didn't say much, and immediately helped Yunyang to get on the horse. After the two of them sat down on the horse, Yunyang looked around, knowing that if he escaped now, he would make a loud noise, and he would definitely be discovered by his mother-in-law. The best thing to do is to find a place to hide.

Yunyang remembered the big stone he had just found, and visually measured that it would take a mile from here to the stone. So she whispered to the young man, "Let the horse trot, try not to make a sound, and let's hide behind the rocks first." ”

Although the young man didn't know what Yunyang was about, if there were too many people from the other party in the middle of the night, he would definitely not be able to deal with it. But listening to Yunyang's calm tone, he seemed to know the enemy's situation, so he did what she said trustingly.

Sure enough, with Yunyang's method, the sound of their actions was extremely small, and although the speed was a little slower, it was more than enough time to hide. After they had taken refuge behind the big rocks, it was a long time before they saw a wagon come back and stop beside the hay cart.

Because of the distance, I couldn't hear what the people in the carriage were saying. But when Yunyang and the boy all saw the people in the carriage jumping down, they angrily circled around the hay and searched up and down for a long time, because there was no trace of Yunyang, and these people let out one or two screams like anger. This sound, which was heard far away in the empty wasteland, was like the wail of a wild beast when it was robbed of its prey, and it made people tremble to hear.

The young man whispered to Yunyang here: "I didn't expect that it was a group of female thieves who kidnapped you!" ”

Yunyang looked at the direction where the carriage was located, and said coldly: "In this world, there are vicious hearts and vicious methods, and there is still a distinction between men and women?" ”

The young man thought for a moment and nodded with a smile: "Yes." You're not a very old man, but you speak like you've lived hundreds of years. ”
