Nie Wuzheng and his subordinates from the base camp wandered around the area under the cliff of Langge Mountain for more than ten days, but they did not find Jia Qianqian's bones and scepter. They also went to the waterhole, and they also saw the huge one-eyed spider king, but because the people of Xuancheng were not familiar with water, no one could dive into the deep pool to check, so they had no choice but to give up searching in the water.

Nie Wuzheng led his men and horses to search in the mountains, while Long Jie learned about everything that happened on the day of the sacrifice to the gods through the conversation between the merchant and the Sisri. There really is a legendary scepter, this information made Long Jie very surprised, but he could not accept the fact that Jia Qianqian fell under the cliff, he had a strong premonition, Jia Qianqian must still be alive, that arrogant, happy, energetic girl will definitely not pass away. Therefore, Nie Wuzheng searched in the Langhe Mountain, but he followed the merchant around the tribes around the Langge Mountain to find it.

Jia Qianqian, who has changed her name to Alia and has lost her memory, followed the old woman of Khotan, Uzgul, to drive the sheep to wander on the grassland. Long Jie and the merchant guide were both looking among the various big tribes, so Jia Qianqian had been wandering on the grassland for more than a month, and no one had found this alien girl.

On the day agreed with Xu Xiaozi, Long Jie met him on the border. Xu Xiaozi told him that Nie Wuzheng had just returned to Xuancheng, but he didn't see Jia Qianqian, and when Long Jie told him that he had heard the news in Khotan, this godbrother, who was ugly and didn't get along with Jia Qianqian much, swore with red eyes that he would go back to Dayan Country to make more secret weapons, make a little more money, and then pay for the top killers in the rivers and lakes to kill Nie Wuzheng and avenge this godsister!

Long Jie didn't stop him, if it was finally determined that Jia Qianqian was really dead, he would have thought of revenge for Qianqian. At that time, Nie Wuzheng would be his Long Jie's No. 1 enemy.

After breaking up with Xu Xiaozi, Long Jie returned to Khotan and continued to search for Jia Qianqian among various tribes.

Nie Wuzheng in Xuancheng fell into a drunken dream of death, the beloved woman died, the scepter disappeared again, and the dream of recovering the country was disappointed again, and there seemed to be no point in living. He locked himself up in the * where Jia Qianqian lived, and he was drunk every day. As long as he was sober, he would regret the unbearable heartache, and he hated himself for not being able to calm down, find the right opportunity, find another way to steal the scepter, the scepter had been stored in that cave for years, why bother! However, there is no regret medicine in the world, so he can only use drunkenness to numb himself.

Jia Qianqian, who transformed into Alia, can already understand some of the simplest Khotanese Chinese, and occasionally speaks half a broken Khotanese Chinese.

In the past few days, the old woman Uzgul has been in a bad mood, because, in a few days, it will be twenty-five years since she lost her husband and son. According to the customs and rules of their clan, the soul of the deceased will return to see his relatives for the last time twenty-five years after his death, and after that, the relatives will no longer miss him, because he has officially fallen into samsara.

On this fateful day, Uzgul must return to the place where the Herbs live, and the sorcerer of the clan will cast a spell to bring the spirit of her husband and son to the sorcerer and meet her.

For this reason, Uzgul had to take Jia Qianqian, drive the sheep, and come to the settlement of the Hebe people. In addition to the dozens of sheep, Uzgul's property also included a cow, which was used to haul tents and simple household utensils when moving places. When the patriarch heard that Uzgul had returned, he refused to receive her. In his opinion, the stubborn Uzgul who refused to submit to his rule was already a traitor among the Hebers. Without the consent of the patriarch, the wizard would not have cast a spell at all. Uzgul sat in her low, freshly pitched tent, sobbing helplessly.

Jia Qianqian didn't know why she was crying, and asked her anxiously in broken Khotanese Chinese why? But how could Uzgul explain it to her? Just when Jia Qianqian was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and he didn't know what to do, a Heber man in his fifties came in.

This man's name is Fildas, and he is the cousin of Uzgul's husband, a merchant who shuttles between various tribes all year round, as well as Xuancheng and Dayan Kingdoms, and is also a quick-witted and mercenary businessman. When he saw the black-eyed Jia Qianqian and Uzgul living together, he was very surprised and asked Uzgul about Jia Qianqian's origin. Uzgul tells him that Qianqian is a girl she picked up, and she doesn't know what country Alia is from, because she has little contact with the outside world and can't understand Alia's language. Fildas tried to ask Jia Qianqian in the language of the Great Yan Kingdom, "Girl, are you from the Great Yan Kingdom?" ”

After so many days, for the first time someone spoke the same language as herself, Jia Qianqian was overjoyed and said excitedly: "I don't know where I'm from, but I can understand what you say." Uncle You, do you know me? Do you know how I got here? Seeing Fildas looking at her in surprise, he said with a dejected face, "I don't remember anything before." I don't know how I got here, I can't even remember what my name was. ”

Fildas's small eyes immediately shone with a calculating light, such a beautiful girl, who didn't remember anything, almost half-silly, was just right for a lustful patriarch.

"Do you understand what is being said here?" Fildas asked cautiously.

"Well, I can only understand a little."

Fildas tried to say in Khotanese Chinese: "Will you marry our esteemed patriarch?" ”

Jia Qianqian looked at him blankly, not knowing what he was talking about.

Uzgul got angry, "Fildas, what do you want to do?" How can you get Alia to marry the patriarch? He's so old, and Alia is still a flower that has just bloomed. ”

Fildas told Uzgul about his plans in Khotanese Chinese, "Sister-in-law, the day after tomorrow is the day of reincarnation, don't you want to see the soul of your eldest brother at the end?" If you don't have a gift for the patriarch to let him agree with the wizard to cast a spell on you, how can you see the soul of the eldest brother? ”

Uzgul was speechless for a moment, she could leave her clan and let her life be hard, but she couldn't give up the opportunity to finally meet the soul of her husband and son.

"Don't you think it's strange that such a beautiful girl from the Great Yan Kingdom is alone in Khotan, and she says she doesn't remember anything, she doesn't even know her name? This is clearly a gift from the gods to you, so that you can be forgiven by the patriarch. ”
