Lu Shaoyun, who had traveled for 16 days on the trade route to Persia before finally arriving at his destination, is now in a desert oasis town called "Dilinar", doing his duty as his "merchant Tang Shixuan". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the eyes of Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran, who have never set foot here, Dilinar is a very magical place.

The streets are full of domed buildings, tall tropical desert plants, intricate street fountains, tropical desert costumes with half of their bellies exposed by both men and women, and various Emeizuku scimitars with goose-egg-sized gems inlaid with goose egg on the hilt...... These scenes, which had never appeared in the territory of Great Xia, all made Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran feel very novel.

"Why, in your opinion, are these costumes so unsightly and unsightly?" On the streets of Dilinar, Aguirre, who had completely untied his heart in the recent period of time, and got along with Lu Shaoyun normally, turned his head to look at Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran's unbearable appearance at those foreign women with exposed bellies, and teased.

"I've heard that aren't there those Han Chinese towns full of scantily clad women, and where men are just going to have fun? Why, haven't you all been to that kind of place? ”

"The heavens testify, the sun and the moon can be seen, when have I ever been to such a place to have fun?" In the desert oasis town full of alien customs, Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran, who are in unison to justify their names, are actually "veterans" who have been in and out of Fengyue places many times.

After all, it is not surprising that Jin Wuwei, who is in charge of red and white pills, and a fast arrester who often needs to obtain various clues through special channels, frequently goes in and out of places like "Yihong Courtyard".

However, the inadvertent glimpse of the errand is obviously different from the spectacular scene of the street. Therefore, if it weren't for the human skin mask on his face, Aguirre, who was walking beside Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran, who had never known where to look their eyes, could actually see a scorching flush like sunset on the faces of the two people around them.

The days of business are hard and monotonous, and during the six days they stayed in Dilinar Town, Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran always had endless work to do and endless accounts.

Of course, the busyness of getting up early and greedy late every day did not make them complain, and the only thing that made Lin Xiran dissatisfied was only - he couldn't understand a word of foreign language, so once he left his Rong partners in the same caravan, he was like a little baby, and he felt a little dazed and at a loss about the people, things, and things around him.

(As a town frequented by Persian merchants and Rong merchants, Dilinar was generally used in Persian or Rong for daily communication.) ）

"Although I don't understand the Rong language, Shixuan's Rong language is very good!" In the bustling market, Hazru waited for Lu Shaoyun to skillfully use the Rong language to bargain with the buyer to complete the transaction, and said with a smile: "Your Rong language must have been taught to you by frost and cold, right?" ”

"Yes, Uncle Hazlu," Lu Shaoyun said with a smile on his face, as if he lied naturally and frankly: "When Shuang Han first taught me, not to mention how difficult it was to learn, but once I really entered the door, I felt that it was not so difficult to learn." ”

"Well, after all these days of separation, you should think about the frost, right?"

"Hehe," Lu Shaoyun said embarrassedly: "I really miss her." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, anyway, in more than half a month, when you return to the village for the celebration, you should get married. So now, you can work hard with Umar and them for another half a month! ”

The Umar in Hazlu's mouth is a young man of the Rong clan who is the same age as Lu Shaoyun and also belongs to the caravan of Naming Village.

In the caravan of Naming Village, there are several young men like Lu Shaoyun and Umar, who can go back to the village to marry their beloved girl as long as the business is over. It's just that among these young men who are waiting to get married, due to Hazru's relationship, Lu Shaoyun and Lin Xiran are still the best with Umar.

According to Hazru, Umar was not originally a villager in Naming Village. Many years ago, he lived on the grassland with his parents and siblings, and his life was very happy and ordinary. It's a pity that in the autumn of one year, the Umar family, who migrated on the grassland in order to survive the winter, inadvertently encountered the Mobei people who burned, killed and looted.

Under the cover of his parents and older brothers, the seriously injured Umar and his youngest brother desperately escaped from the encirclement. But then, after turning back to look back at his home and witnessing his family being slaughtered by the Mobei cavalry, Umar accidentally lost his only remaining relative, his brother, on the way to flee for his life.

Subsequently, Umar, who was rescued by Hazru's brother-in-law's family by chance, joined the caravan in Naming Village after recovering his health. In the years that followed, Umar, who had never given up looking for his brother, had worked hard to find out everywhere he had passed on his business journey. But many years have passed, and Umar's younger brother, Ugal, has not been heard from.

Udar, torn between hope and disappointment, falls in love with the girl who has always been by his side, comforting and helping him, Lydilou (Hazru's sister's daughter and Bariya's cousin). So, in September this year, after the business is over, Umar and Lydilu, like Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan, will hold a wedding after the celebration.

The days before the wedding are difficult for all prospective newlyweds, even for the summer frost and cold who are now in Naming Village and are innumerable in this wedding.

In his previous life, Xia Shuanghan, who had been looking forward to his own Rong-style wedding in his heart, had to give up his wish because of Lu Shaoyun. But in this life, even if she and Lu Shaoyun may not be able to get together in the end, Xia Shuanghan still thinks that the upcoming wedding will fulfill her wish that she had never fulfilled in her previous life.

"Shuang Han, your groom's auspicious costume should be sewn by integrating the clothing styles of the Han and Rong ethnic groups, right?" In the green courtyard of Yehong's house, like Xia Shuanghan, Lidilu, who was sewing auspicious clothes for her future husband, looked curiously at the clothes that were about to be completed in Xia Shuanghan's hand, and sighed: "This Han embroidery needle is really the same as the needle method of our Rong people, each with its own merits!" ”

"If you are interested, when you are free another day, I will teach you this Han people's needlework?" Xia Shuanghan, who still continued to do the work in his hands, cut the last thread of the groom's auspicious clothes, and then put down the sewn auspicious clothes and turned to Lu Shaoyun's winter clothes.

"Okay, good, this Han needlework, embroidering flowers and plants, is indeed more soft and realistic. I believe that when I learn it, both my father and my mother and Umar will feel very happy to wear this kind of embroidery. ”

On the side, Xia Shuanghan and Lydilu were chatting about stitching, and on the other side, Baliya, who was also doing needlework with her two sisters, put down the altered Arguirre's winter coat in her hand, and turned her eyes to Xia Shuanghan's hand, and a few other pieces of clothing and fur prepared for making Lin Xiran's winter clothes.

"Sister Shuanghan, I've finished all the needlework on hand this winter, so, Brother Ran's winter coat and winter hat, why don't you let me help you make it?"

“？？？！” Xia Shuanghan, who tasted a different meaning from a sentence in which Balya was calm and composed, and was not much different from the usual conversation, smiled wiltedly and bent her eyes, put down the needle and thread in her hand and said: "Baliya, Baliya, sister, if I guessed correctly, you are spring-hearted, and you have taken a fancy to the 'Brother Ran' in your mouth, right?" ”

"......" Baliya, who was directly provoked by Xia Shuanghan, instantly turned red, her pretty face turned red, she clenched her fist unusually loosely in shame, and knocked it straight to Xia Shuanghan's shoulder, "Sister Shuanghan, why are you like this?" ”

"What's wrong with me?" Raising his hand to block Baliya's fist, which did not exert force, but once it hit the shoulder bone, it still made her feel a little painful, Xia Shuanghan spared no effort to accompany Lidilu beside her, and soon Lin Xiran said that Baliya was ashamed, hid her face and fled.

Under the cool and comfortable grape trellis, looking at Baliya running away in a hurry, I remembered in my heart that she and Lin Xiran did not come together in their previous life, but the summer frost and cold of their own marriages, and they deeply realized the wonder of life.

As a person who knows a lot about the marriage of Baliya in the previous life and Lin Xiran in the previous life, Xia Shuanghan does not intend to blindly interfere with the emotional development of the two of them in this life.

After all, in Xia Shuanghan's opinion, in terms of comprehensive conditions, there is nothing in Baliya and Lin Xiran, whether it is external conditions or internal qualities, that is not suitable for the two of them to become husband and wife. Therefore, Xia Shuanghan, who decided to take a wait-and-see attitude towards the relationship and development of the two in the next few days, handed over the production rights of Lin Xiran's entire winter clothes from head to toe to Baliya's hands.

"I'll just say, when I returned to the village from the capital, the way Ba Liya got along with the Queran brothers along the way already made me feel very strange, but it turned out that she had already taken a fancy to him at that time!"

In the evening, Xia Shuanghan, who took the clay water pot with the "ear" off and went to her house with Lydilu holding the sewing basket (Lydilu's family runs a pottery workshop), heard a lot of details about the relationship between Balia and Lin Xiran on the business road from the girl next to her.

Lydilu, who tells interesting stories about her journey, slowly turns the conversation to her fiancé, Umar, between memories and narration.

Umar, a hard-working and reliable young man, knew Xia Shuanghan in his previous life. Therefore, about his younger brother who has been lost for many years, Xia Shuanghan in this life still remembers it very clearly.

"Isn't there any news from that young man named Ugal?" Although Xia Shuanghan remembered that in her previous life, until she left Naming Village and returned to Beijing to move the grave of her parents, Umar still failed to find her long-lost brother, but in this life, she still held a glimmer of hope and asked.

"No, we still haven't found him." Thinking back on the efforts she and her fiancé have made over the years to find Ugar, Lydilou can't help but feel sad: "After all these years, we are almost hopeless now. ”

After all, at that time, the Mobei people stretched the looting route very long, and dozens of families were slaughtered along the way. Therefore, it is possible that Ugal, who accidentally got separated at that time, was also unfortunately murdered later, and finally became food for wild beasts in the wilderness. ”

In the face of Lydilu's pessimistic statement, Xia Shuanghan did not come up with any novel and effective solution. It's just that when she entered Lydilu's house and asked Lydilu's younger brother to repair the "ears" of the clay pot for herself, she wouldn't have thought that in this life, due to the arrival of her and Lu Shaoyun, Umar and Ugar, the brothers who had not been able to see them until they died in their previous lives, were finally reunited in this life.

On the first day of September, it was the day when the caravan led by Hazru returned from Dilinar to the village of Naming.

Walking on the road back to the village, Lu Shaoyun, who saw the houses on the mountainside from a distance, couldn't hold back the heart in his chest that was beating wildly because he would soon see his long-lost sweetheart.

"I said Brother Shixuan, haven't you just been separated from Shuang Han for more than a month, as for making you anxious like this?" Riding a horse to Lu Shaoyun's side, looking at the restless look of his good buddy, eager to leave the large army and take a step forward, Lin Xiran couldn't help but smile and said: "You will obviously be able to get married in half a month, you don't need to be in a hurry to be like this!" ”

"Hmph, you know what!" He snorted and glanced at the little hair around him who was teasing him, like Lin Xiran, Lu Shaoyun, who didn't know Baliya's mind yet, didn't come up with Lin Xiran's future wife to tease him.

However, even if Lu Shaoyun had the ability to predict the future at this time, it would be impossible for him to continue to quarrel with Lin Xiran. Because, when the caravan marched not far from the entrance of the village, a group of people who were noisily running towards the mountain road attracted Lu Shaoyun's attention.

"Kurt, what's going on in the mountains?" Hazru, who was at the head of the procession, saw the crowd running in a hurry, so he took the lead and ran to the opening of the mountain road. He called out to a young man who was about to enter the mountain, and asked suspiciously, slightly worriedly, "Why are you all running up the mountain path?" ”

"Oh, Uncle Hazlu, you're back!" The young man who was stopped by Hazru stopped, raised his head with a panicked face, and quickly replied: "Your grandson Chagap has an accident, everyone is in a hurry to help save people!" ”

"What...... What the? Hearing this, Hazru's heart shook violently, and he only felt like he had been beaten in the head, and he almost couldn't react. My grandson, what's wrong with my grandson, can you make it clearer? Didn't he let the wolf or the snake bite him? ”

"No," said the young man standing under the horse eagerly, "for now, Chagapu should be fine, that girl named Frost is the guest of your family, and she has gone to save your grandson!" If you want to know for sure, come with us into the mountains! ”

The name of Xia Shuanghan in the young man's mouth caught the heart of Lu Shaoyun, who was following the horse, in an instant. What the word "saving people" means, Lu Shaoyun, who is deeply touched, knows it best. On the night of the Lantern Festival, Xia Shuanghan's act of breaking into the fire to save people has already cost her half of her life, and now she is going to save people again, who knows what will happen?

"Quick, lead the way." At the same time, Lu Shaoyun and Hazlu, who turned over and dismounted, beckoned the young man in front of them to lead the way as soon as possible.

Subsequently, the young men who also came from the caravan, including Lin Xuran, also adhered to the concept of "maybe they can help the handle", and followed Kurt, who ran in the front, into the mountain together.

And if you want to ask what happened to today's accident, you have to start from the early morning.

On the first day of the ninth lunar month, the work of Ye Hong's family taking turns to collect firewood every day was the turn of Xia Shuanghan. So early in the morning, after getting up early in the morning to practice health boxing, after eating breakfast, Xia Shuanghan, he took the firewood knife on his back and went straight to the mountains around the village.

Xia Shuanghan, who used the work of collecting firewood to draw a map of Qiuz Mountain in her mind along the road, recalled whether her many "drop-by explorations" over the past month or so had added some useful lines to the map she had done her best.

Then, after finishing the work at hand, and sure that his map had recorded all the Xia Shuanghan that he knew and saw, he was about to tie up the firewood and take the firewood knife and go home directly. But at this moment, at the corner of the mountain road, somewhere in the blind spot of her vision, there was a sudden exclamation of a woman and a child.

"Wolves? Or a snake? On the winding mountain road, Xia Shuanghan, who had deduced the reason for the exclamation, put down the half-bundled firewood in his hand, touched the blow arrow stuffed in his boot, and then picked up the firewood knife and ran towards the place where the exclamation came from.

However, when Xia Shuanghan turned the corner and saw the cracked mountain road in front of him, the panicked Camorra, and the chagap crying on a protruding rock on the cliff, Xia Shuanghan felt from the bottom of his heart that even a wolf was much easier to deal with than the current situation!

The mountain road where Xia Shuanghan is currently located is next to the mountain that goes straight up and down on one side, and the cliff that also goes straight up and down on the other side. The height of the mountain path from the bottom of the cliff is not very high, it is about as high as the cliff where the cave with the waterfall hangs on Chutz Mountain. However, although such a height does not frighten the villagers of Naming Village, once they fall down the mountain road, they are destined to die or be injured.

Right now, a section of the road in the middle of the trail has collapsed, and the remaining earthwork forms a short steep slope that is directly connected to the cliff below. At the same time as the mountain road collapsed, Chagap, who fell down the mountain road because of the empty foot, was caught by a rock protruding from the cliff after the rolling rocks fell, and then temporarily saved a small life.

So then, how to save Chagap, who was lying on a rock that was only large enough for two adult men to stand, became a problem that Xia Shuanghan and other villagers who rushed to help when they heard the shouts.

Chagap, on the rocks, shivered and cried in mid-air, while Camora, who had fallen to the ground from stepping on his feet, struggled desperately to get up.

A girl from a certain Naming village who had already run to Camorra's side on the same mountain road stopped her by the waist to stop her from rushing to the collapse to help Chagap, while shouting at her to try to calm her down as soon as possible.

"Sister-in-law Camorra, calm down," said the girl, who held Camorra firmly and forced her to retreat to safety on the mountain path, "If you run over now, the cracked but not collapsed earthwork will not be able to hold your weight!" It's okay if you're not afraid of death, but what if you roll someone down the mountain with a rock, and instead knock Chagap, who is now safe, to the bottom of the mountain road? You're not saving him, you're hurting him! ”

Camorra, who had regained her composure in the persuasion, no longer struggled or cried, but stood still and looked at the two ends of the mountain road and the villagers who had rushed to help after hearing her cry, and pleaded helplessly: "Please help me, save my son!" ”

In a village like Naming Village, where one side is in trouble and all sides are supporting, all the villagers who are present now will definitely volunteer to help save Chagap without Kamorra's plea at all. However, as far as Chagap's current situation is concerned, all the enthusiastic villagers feel that they are a little more than they can do.

The trail directly above the rock where Chagap was located had collapsed, and there was no place to put your feet on the cracked trail around the collapsed site. Therefore, it was unintentionally difficult to rescue him from above when there was no one who could walk to the mountain path directly above Chagap with a rope on his back to save him by dropping the rope.

So, if it doesn't work from above, can it be changed from below? The answer is, no.

If there is a flat road or a waterhole below the trail, there is really nothing wrong with having Chagap jump off the rocks if you are well prepared. However, the bottom of Chagap's location is now full of rocks with interlaced teeth and angular teeth. If Chagapu jumps from above, it will be considered lucky not to be poked by the stone, and he wants to survive safely? It's a dream.

Therefore, when the top cannot be approached and the bottom cannot be prepared, how to save Chagap has become a difficult problem.

Standing on the mountain road behind Camorra, Xia Shuanghan, who was observing the collapse of the mountain road from afar, finally came up with the best way she could think of at the moment. So, after reaching a consensus with everyone at the other end of the mountain road and under the mountain by shouting, Xia Shuanghan turned around and took over the next few ropes that would come in handy from the villagers behind him.

"Lorena," Xia Shuanghan took the thick rope that was twisted into one strand of two ropes, took insurance measures for herself, and handed the other end of the rope to the villagers behind her, she patted the girl who was holding Camorra at the beginning, and said with a light smile: "You take Sister Camora back now, no matter what happens next, you have to stop her from doing stupid things on impulse, you know?" ”

Then, the other end of the rope held in the hands of the villagers behind her was fastened, Xia Shuanghan took off her coat and boots, and hung the rope buckle on her shoulders while reducing her weight as little as possible, after that, she crawled on the mountain road and began to slowly approach the collapse.
