The morning sun dewed, and the sky and the sand dunes in the distance were suddenly soaked in a field of violet. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAfter walking all night, the girl felt tired and thirsty.

She stopped, climbed up a hill, looked far away, and suddenly saw a little light flashing on the edge of the sky, and she was overjoyed that she had finally found a source of water. She shouted, and the camel let out a long cry of excitement, and raised its hooves and ran forward.

It is a pale blue water, with light waves and sparkling waves, making people feel like they are in a mysterious water country.

The girl jumped off her hunchback, walked to the lake and drank heartily, then soaked her handkerchief and walked towards the wounded man. They had been on the road all night, and though she had wrapped his wounds, the man remained motionless as if he were dead.

The girl stepped forward and gently probed the man's snort, and the man's face was pale, but he was still panting slightly. She breathed a sigh of relief and gently lifted the wound. Probably accidentally touching the wound, the man snorted softly and woke up faintly.

He looked at the woman in red in front of him with a confused look, a little surprised and a little confused in his heart. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but the pain and exhaustion prevented him from speaking.

The corners of the girl's mouth curled, "So you're not dead yet!" Don't worry, the people who killed you won't come, they met the wolf just now, and they might have been eaten by now. ”

The man heard the girl's silver-bell-like words, and felt as if the voice was floating from the distant sky, "You。。。。。。 It took all his strength to burst out a single word.

The girl didn't answer him, gently tore open the flesh and blood glue wound, and said softly: "You have a very serious knife wound, and that knife is poisonous... As she spoke, she took out a shiny dagger from her waist and looked at the sun with indifference in her eyes.

The man was shocked, thinking that she was going to be unfavorable to him, and he struggled for a moment, and then fainted in pain.

The girl glanced at him and began to cut the carrion from the wound, and gently scattered the powder she had with her on the wound. When she was in Loulan, she had some superficial ways to save people with the big witch doctor there, and these medicinal powders were also given to her by the big witch doctor when she left. The great witch doctor said that it was a long way to Chang'an, and these medicinal powders had miraculous effects in curing injuries, so she should carry them with her in case of accidents. Unexpectedly, it is really used now. It seems that the great witch doctor is not only good at medicine, but also has first-class skills to meet the future, thinking of this, the girl can't help laughing.

After giving the man the medicine, the maiden washed her hands in the lake, and took out a long veil from her bag to cover her face, and covered the wound. She looked at the man and saw that he was breathing evenly, so she got up with relief and touched the fine sweat on her forehead.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and a round gray sun hung in the gray-blue sky. The girl climbed up a nearby hill and looked up. At the end of the desert, where the sea can see, there seems to be a faint shade of greenery, and the corner of the city wall is slightly exposed between the shade of the trees.

The girl's snow-white face suddenly flushed, and she knew that when she arrived at this city, she would be able to ask for directions. She promised A-Niang that she would find Daddy, although the jade pendant was lost, but that couldn't stop her.

The breeze blew her long red dress, and the corners of her skirt fluttered in the wind, like a touch of colorful red glow. She looked up at the sky, turned back to the lake, lifted the wounded man onto the camel, and shouted。。。。。。

The city looked near, but it was far away, and they arrived there almost at noon. Bypassing a forest, a series of towering city walls appeared in front of you, and outside the city was a lake spring in the shape of a crescent moon. She pulled her camel and walked slowly toward the city.

Take a closer look, there are two big characters 'Dunhuang' printed on the gatehouse. The girl was surprised and delighted, she didn't expect that she had come to Dunhuang by ghost. She touched the camel's neck lovingly, buried her head in her companion's long hair, and wet her face with tears.

There are heavy soldiers guarding the gate of Dunhuang City, the girl led the camel and went away, the soldier who guarded the city looked at her coldly, and saw that there was an unconscious person on the back of the camel, and couldn't help but be suspicious.

Dunhuang was an important military town of the Han Dynasty, although the Xiongnu had been driven to the deserted Mobei region since the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but the Xiongnu were not willing to surrender and repeatedly invaded the border. During this period, the Xiongnu frequently came to spy on the military situation, so the Han army was very strict in interrogation.

The girl in red didn't know the reason for this, but she was very intelligent, and seeing the soldier's suspicious look, she hurriedly said in Chinese: "This is my brother." On the way we came, we encountered sand pirates, and my brother was injured by them trying to protect me. I'm going into the city to find a doctor to save my life. ”

"Are you Han?" The soldiers saw that the man on the hunchback was dressed in a Han dress, but the woman was dressed in a Loulan dress.

"Yes ... Yes," the girl glanced at her dress, "I thought it looked good, so I wore it." ”

The soldier listened to the girl's Chinese words well, and although he was puzzled in his heart, he couldn't say anything. He went over and looked at the man, and saw that his face was covered with mud and his lips were white, but he was wounded.

"Where are you from? Where are you going? The soldier asked, turning his head.

The girl had an idea, took out a gold leaf from the baggage, leaned up and stuffed it into the man's hand, "We are merchants in Chang'an, and we went to Loulan to buy some blankets, but we were robbed halfway... Please also ask the military master to make it convenient. The slave's brother can't find a doctor anymore, and he will have to... It's going to die. He looked at him with tears in his eyes.

When the sergeant had the money, and saw that the woman was very pitiful, he waved his hand, and the maiden said goodbye, and drew the camel into the city.

After entering the city, she patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she smiled lightly, and Ah Niang said, throughout the ages, the beauty plan has worked the most, but she saw it today. Otherwise, you have to be caught as a spy.

Dunhuang is located on the border, but the market is very lively. The streets were crowded with people, traffic, and the sound of hawking was heard from the roadside from time to time. She found a fairly clean inn, asked for a room, and asked Xiao Er to help her move the person upstairs.

After placing the man properly, the girl gave Xiao Er a gold leaf and asked him to invite Langzhong. When did the shopkeeper see this lot of money, he was stunned, and when he was sure that it was for himself, he hurriedly said a few words of thanks, and went happily.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Er invited a silver-haired and hobbling Lang Zhong to come. Na Langzhong took the tone and adjusted the patient's pulse, saying that it was not a big problem, but he had lost too much blood, and he needed to recuperate quietly today, and prescribed a prescription, and Xiao Er went to grab the medicine by himself.

At the beginning of the day, the man had not yet woken up. The girl fetched a basin of water and quietly wiped his face. For two days, she hadn't seen the man's face clearly. When the water washed away the dirt, a handsome face appeared in front of her.

The man looked like he was in his early twenties, with a high nose and clear eyebrows, even if he was asleep, there was a heroic aura between his eyebrows. The girl stared blankly at the strange man, knowing for the first time that there was such a heroic man in the world.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door. The girl shook her head shyly and laughed at her gaffe. She opened the door and looked, it turned out that the shopkeeper had delivered medicine.

The maiden took the bowl and asked the men where there were horses for sale in the bazaar.

"Girl, go to the west of the city and have a look." The man said, "There are a lot of traders from the Western Regions, and there are a lot of fine horses. ”

The girl thanked the man, fed the wounded with medicine, and then curled up on a couch opposite and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, the man woke up from the sharp pain of his wound. He looked at this strange place in confusion, and suddenly touched his chest as if he remembered something. "It's okay, it's still there!" He nodded in satisfaction.

For the past half a month, he has been avoiding those people, but he still caught up the day before yesterday. He didn't know how he got here. But he's alive, and that's enough.

The lamp and candle in the room flickered, and he looked back at the shadow of the lamp, and saw a red glow curled up under the shadow. It was as if he had suddenly remembered something. When he woke up from a coma that day, he saw a woman covered in a red veil, which he thought was a dream, and that woman might be a fairy who had come to save him, a man who was on the verge of death.

At this moment, although he was awake, his mind was not yet awake, and he saw the red shadow and thought it was a dream and an illusion. At this time, drowsiness hit the corners of his eyes, and he fell into a deep sleep again.

Early the next morning, the maiden had a hasty breakfast, and pulled her camel to the market on the west side of the city. Dunhuang is the gateway of the Han Dynasty, and there is no desert to the east, so it is more convenient to ride a horse than to take a camel.

She touched the neck of her faithful companion with pity, and her heart was very sad. She didn't want to sell it, but she couldn't drag it to Chang'an. She rubbed it a few times before she made up her mind to walk towards a stall.

The stall owner is a bearded man, with a big beard, and the clothes should come from Da Shi. He saw the girl's eyes move over his horse, and then at the shiny camel behind her, and knew that business was coming, and greeted her with a smile.

"The girl wants to buy a horse?" He asked in fluent Loulan.

The girl nodded, "I want your best horse here." ”

The stall owner smiled and introduced her, "Look at this horse, this is a Wusun horse, the fur is shiny, look at this sharp tooth... ”

The girl shook her head, she grew up in the Western Regions since she was a child, and she is the best at recognizing good horses, although this horse looks good, but it is not durable. Seeing that she was not satisfied, the stall owner showed her another one, but she only shook her head.

Later, the stall owner became a little impatient, and his originally smiling face suddenly pulled down. The girl ignored him, but looked at them one by one, and suddenly she saw a red horse.

The horse is fat and healthy, with a bright coat color, and is very cute. The girl stared at the red horse with sparkling eyes, turned her head and said firmly to the stall owner, "I want this horse!" ”

The stall owner saw that she had picked out the jujube red horse, and his face was quite embarrassed, "The girl has a good eye, this is a Dawan horse, which is very precious." It's just that... ”

When the girl saw the stall owner talking and asked, "Just what?" ”

"It's just that this horse has already been decided, why don't you take a look at the other horses?"

"No, I just want this horse!" She shoved a bag of gold leaves into the stall owner's bosom and pointed behind her, "This bag of gold and this camel is enough to buy your horse." ”

"Girl, this is really not good! The man who came had already paid the deposit, and asked me to leave the horse for him. The stall owner said with a lot of difficulty.

"He only paid the deposit, but I'll pay you at least twice the market price of the horse. Stallholder, I'm giving you a big deal. Can he pay more than I do? The girl said, "Go over and lead the horse, and she will leave."

The stall owner stopped her, persuaded her to choose another horse, and said that she had a crush on one and sold it to her at half price. The girl loved the horse so much that she didn't want to give it up. The stall owner was sweating in a hurry.

At this time, a sturdy man came over and asked the stall owner in a loud voice, "What's going on?" How can we order the horse in the hands of this little woman? ”

The stall owner was so frightened that he apologized again and again, and told the big man that the girl had taken a fancy to the horse and insisted on buying.

The big man raised his eyebrows and said: "You girl really doesn't know how to be polite, everything is said to come first and come first, this is my son-in-law's decision first, how can you snatch it halfway?" ”

The girl sneered, "You said that this horse belongs to your family, do you call it and promise you?" ”

"You!"

"I tell you, whoever comes first will be whoever's own. You didn't pay, so why can't I ask for it? Seeing that you are so big, do you want to bully me as a weak woman? ”

"What a sharp-toothed woman, don't think I dare not hit a woman." The big man rolled up his sleeves and waved his fist at the girl angrily.

"You have the ability, you come!" The girl stepped forward to him and raised her face without fear.

"Good! Today I will teach you, a woman who does not know the height of the heavens and the earth. ”

Dahan jumped forward and was about to make a move. There were already a lot of people around to catch the excitement, and the stall owner saw that the two were going to make a move, so he was caught in the middle and said good things. The big man pushed the stall owner aside and shouted angrily.

"Stop!" A voice shouted.

The crowd looked to the place where the voice had come from, and saw a carriage with yellow tassels parked behind them.

When the big man saw the carriage, he hurriedly put away his hand, ran over, and respectfully shouted, "Childe." ”

As soon as the brocade curtain moved, a young man in a plain robe appeared in the car, elegant and gentle. "What's going on?" The man asked.

The big man briefly told his master about the matter, "This little woman insists on the horse that the son has a crush on." ”

The young man's green eyes swept softly at the girl in red. The girl's heart moved when she showed him, and she forced her mind to say loudly: "It seems that you are the one who has taken a fancy to this horse." But I have already bought this horse, and the money has been paid, if you don't talk about business, you still have to be blindly entangled, and the little woman will accompany you to the end. ”

The young man smiled and said, "The girl's Chinese language is so good? Is it Han Chinese? ”

The girl thought he was looking for trouble, but she didn't want him to ask, "So what?" ”

The young man said: "I am also from the Central Plains. Since the girl has taken a fancy to this horse and is also destined for it, how can she win people's love? ”

"Are you really willing to give me this horse?" The girl was taken aback.

"Naturally. As the saying goes, one hand pays and the other hand delivers. We've just paid a deposit, and it's not ours. The young man said.

The girl didn't expect this white-clothed young man to be so generous, but she was embarrassed in her heart, and arched her hand: "Then thank you." The little woman is also because she is going to Chang'an, this good horse is indispensable, please forgive me for the offense. ”

"Childe! Are you really going to give up this horse? It's something you've come across with a long time. Dahan said indignantly.

The boy waved his hand, "No need to say more. ”

The big man opened his mouth to say something, but then only sighed.

The girl was reluctant to go, "It's really sad to let the son lose his love, and the little girl is willing to pay more honorarium to compensate for the loss of the son." ”

The young man in white smiled: "The girl is polite." I think the girl is also a cheerful person, even if we make a friend today, how can we want to take what our friend likes? ”

Unexpectedly, he was so reasonable, the girl looked at the big man in front of her proudly, and saw him glaring at herself with an angry face, and she just wanted to laugh in her heart. She arched her hand, "Thank you for that." There will be a period later! As he spoke, he led the horse and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute!" The boy shouted.

Did he change his mind? The girl sneered in her heart and stared back at him.

The young man said gently: "I heard just now that the girl is going to Chang'an, right?" ”

The girl thought that he had bad intentions and wanted to spy on something, and said vigilantly: "What? ”

The young man seemed to guess her vigilance, and said gently: "Don't misunderstand, girl, it's just that it's a long way to Chang'an, and I don't know if I should say a word?" ”

Seeing the girl nodding, he said: "Although Dunhuang to Chang'an has reached the territory of the Han Dynasty, the road is not very peaceful. The girl is alone, and it is inevitable that the road will be inconvenient. In my opinion, it is better for a girl to pretend to be a man, which is safer. ”

It turned out that he had a good intention, and the girl nodded happily, which reminded her, "Thank you for reminding her." ”

The boy smiled and nodded. The girl smiled at him, turned on her horse, and went back to the inn. It was already noon when the girl arrived at the inn, and she hurried her lunch, and then turned back to the house to look at the wounded man. But the man was still unconscious, and he didn't seem to wake up for a while. The girl was anxious to find her father, so she gave the shopkeeper some gold leaves and asked him to take care of him. Only then did he turn around and get on his horse and gallop towards Chang'an。。。。。。
