Act 1: In the beautiful vast grassland, there is a girl running around happily, like a happy fawn. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As soon as she ran and ran and fell to the grass, she simply turned over and lay down and couldn't get up, looking at the white clouds floating in the sky, like a large mass of snow-white wool, piled up in a strange shape. The sky was so blue that it was about to drop, but luckily there were clouds that humped it. After looking at it for a while, she was dazzled by the white and bright clouds, so she had to close her eyes and cover her forehead with her hands, and fell asleep after a while. When she woke up, the sun was not so bright, and there was a hint of bright yellow between the heavens and the earth, and when she looked into the distance against the grass, she would inexplicably see some thin spider silk pulling between the blades of grass, and under the sun it seemed to pave a golden avenue leading to infinity.

"Baby, the sheep are in the circle, come back early for dinner!" called to the girl, carrying a bucket sewn of cowhide with goat's milk to the ger. The girl stood up and looked around, goats, sheep, and dozens of cows and horses scattered across the grassland like stars in the night sky. She put her hands together and whispered, "Oh, roar, roar!" and the sheep seemed to hear the command, and the flock slowly gathered together in the confusion. When the girl waited until the sheep were almost gathered, she turned around and walked towards the fence gate beside Gehr in the distance, and the sheep followed her in a line two or three hundred meters long, and the cattle and horses also consciously followed. After a moment of walking, the girl came to the fence and opened the fence gate, and the sheep obediently entered the fence, and at last only a few horses were left to wander leisurely outside the fence. They also graze at night, so they don't go into the fence, and if a wolf comes to steal sheep, they will be the first to be spotted by the horses.

Every day, in addition to taking care of the cattle and sheep, he cleans Geer, and Eji also squeezes some goat's milk to make cheese and milk tea as rations. There are also some other people's pastures, but they are very far away, so there are very few people coming and going. Twice a year, the sergeants came from Hala and Lin to bring some household items to the mother and the girl, but they always came and left, and although the mother and daughter lived a lonely life, although they had no food and clothing, only in the evening the girl begged her mother to tell her stories.

"In the distant past, our Mongolian ancestors were married to a blue wolf and a white deer, and after the two of them were married, they swam across the boundless Tengis (Hulun Lake) from the far east to settle down on the banks of the fertile river of Hunan. They raised horses and sheep, lived happily, and later they had a child named Bata Chihan・・・・・・!"

The days went on like this, peaceful and lonely scoundrels. A few years passed in a blink of an eye, and the little girl was already eleven years old, and one day, a team of sergeants came to the mother and daughter's Geer, and the hundred and ten people were surrounded by a person, and everyone called him the prince of Hedan. The prince walked into Gehr, and the sergeants were all respectfully guarding outside. The girl was so frightened that she got into Gehr early and hid behind Eji. As soon as the prince saw the girl's Eji, he said kindly: "My dear Vogedai, although you are a servant girl given to me by the prince of Batu, you are my first woman, and I have regarded you as my wife in my heart. I've been leading troops to fight for so many years, and I've made you suffer!" Eji couldn't cry anymore, "Lord Wang! I thought about the prince of Hedan day and night, you are finally back!" and pulled the girl behind him and said, "Come on, daughter, this great prince is your Aza (father), hurry up and let him see you!" The girl looked at the prince timidly, and after a while she whispered "Aza ・・・・・・" The prince happily pulled the girl over, looked up and down, and said kindly: " It turns out that we still have such a beautiful little princess, they are all so old! Wo Gedai, it is not easy for you to raise a child alone, I will take you away and go to the Central Plains to enjoy happiness! Eat delicious food, wear silk and satin, and live in a beautiful house!" Eji knelt down and said gratefully: "Thank you for your grace! But Lord, your little princess is eleven years old and has not yet chosen a name, please give her a nice name!" The prince of Hedan stood up and paced a few steps, looked up from the curtain lifted by Geer, and saw the red and bright Sarilang (Shandan flower) blooming on the opposite hill and said, "Okay, our little princess will be called Sarilang!" Eji wiped away her tears and looked at her daughter, "Sarilang, this name is so good! My daughter has a name, Sarilang! Do you remember my daughter!" The girl had always been a little afraid of the tall and muscular man in front of her, but when she saw him so kind, Eji said that he was her own Aza, and now she gave herself such a nice name, so she became happy. Cuddled in Azha's arms, he cried out "Aza, Azha".

Act 2: The southern capital of Kaiping is very lively, and the prince Kublai Khan ruled it in a bustling city, with tall and majestic buildings, wide streets, and people dressed beautifully, far from being comparable to the monasteries, barracks, and yurts of Hala and Linna. Little Sarilang lived with his mother in a large house with beautiful furnishings and utensils, and five or six servants. I don't have to do any work every day, so I don't know what to do. Fortunately, I can follow my mother to the street market, where there are many homeless people, and there are teams of Mongolian soldiers, many delicious snacks, and beautiful accessories. Whatever Sarilang liked, the servant quickly paid for it, and every time he went shopping, Sarilang would harvest a lot of things he liked. Eji also met with two of Aza's other wives, both with children of several years old, who were Saarilang's half-brother. His mother often took Sarilang to the palace of King Kublai Khan to visit his wife and their family. Prince Kublai Khan had several princes, and the two princes, Khugochi and Aiyachi, were about the same age as Sarilang, and they quickly made friends. Children are children, so easy to be happy and easy to communicate with each other, mothers kindly watch their children run around.

"Let's go, Sarilang!" said Kugochi took Sarilang's hand and ran out, Aiya Chi ran out before the two of them. I ran out of this yard and turned left along the road and entered a small garden. It was already early summer, and the flowers in the garden had not yet opened, and the sparse leaves were exposed to the ground, and Sarilang did not understand and did not know what those flowers were. When they came to a corner, the two little brothers said one by one: "The ants here are amazing, such a little bit of size can move such a big piece of sugar! Sugar, sugar! Aiya Chi, where is the sugar in your pocket?" Ai Yachi took out half a piece of rock candy the size of a fingernail for a long time, "What else?" "I ate a piece last night, I thought there was still one!" said that everyone looked for ants together, found it, put the candy not far from the mouth of the ant hole and squatted excitedly to watch. Soon there were ants who discovered the sugar, and then more ants came, dozens of them. The Ant Group worked together to move the candy cube to the hole, and when they found that the candy was too big to fit into the hole, the ants gathered around and struggled to break the candy cube into small pieces. In less than an hour, the half piece of rock candy disappeared into the ant hole the thickness of a little finger.

"Look, it's amazing!" said Aiya Chiting, looking proudly at Sarilang. Sarilang didn't understand anything, so he nodded vigorously, "That's amazing!" Hu Gechi suddenly wanted to eat rock candy, "The rock candy is gone, let's go buy some, I still have a little silver here! Sa Rilang have you ever eaten rock candy?" Sa Rilang shook his head, and Hu Gechi said, "Go!" Got up and took the two younger brothers and sisters to the wall of the palace in a roundabout way, and walked along the wall for a while, there was a small elm tree in front of it that was crooked, and the thick trunk was crooked to the outside of the wall. Leaning over to Ai Ya Chi and Sarilang, he beckoned, "Come up!" Ai Ya Chi also followed the example of Hu Ge Chi, and after a while he climbed the wall, and the two brothers looked back at Sarilang. Sarilang was a little hesitant, looking back at the direction he came, Eji didn't know that he had run so far, if he knew, he would be angry, he turned around and looked up and saw the two brothers waving at him, and he couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he mustered up the courage to hold the small tree and climb up. Sarilang had never climbed a tree, but he was quite strong, but he had little experience. Just when she was tired and wanted to give up, the two brothers reached out and pulled her, and she finally stood firmly on the wall.

The three children sat side by side on the wall and looked out at the silent and dilapidated alley with a mess of fences and bricks, and scary-looking cobwebs. Ku Ge Chi and Ai Ya Chi were looking towards the market, not knowing what they were looking at. Hu Gechi raised his hand and pointed, "Where is it!" The two boys didn't even think about it, they jumped off the wall with their waists straight, and after running out a few steps, Hu Gechi remembered Sarilang who was still on the wall. Turning around, he called, "Sarilang, jump down, it's soft down there!" Although Sarilang felt a little tall and scared, he was worried that he would be left behind by his two brothers, so he hesitated a few times and jumped down with courage. There were a few piles of dried artemisia grass at his feet, which were firewood and grass collected by poor people, and Sarilang fell up to stir up the dust and the strong smell of choking hay, and because his feet were soft, he threw himself into the hay bale pile. Hu Gechi ran back a few steps, saw Sarilang struggling to get up before stopping, and waited for Sarilang to catch up and take her hand and run out of the alley. Aiya Chi had already run to the mouth of the alley, and turned around to wait for the two of them to catch up.

There were a lot of pedestrians on the street, and there were a few stalls selling things, Sarilang followed the two elder brothers forward for a while, and saw a thin old man, wearing a small hat sewn with white cloth on his head, revealing a purple scalp with few hairs, fat and big shabby clothes, his whole body looked like flags that had been exposed to the wind and sun for two months, his thin and long dry scorched gray face was covered with folds, and his goat-like beard was sparse and stiff on his chin, sitting cross-legged on the ground and shouting: " Rock sugar, rock sugar, seasoning, eat to satisfy your cravings!・・・・・・" He shouted in pretty broken Chinese, but Sarilang didn't care, because she still couldn't understand Chinese. Hu Gechi took out a lump of silver the size of a fingernail and held it up in front of the old man. The old man shrugged back, looked at the silver with his eyes narrowed like the wrinkles on his face, took it and weighed it, stretched out his hand like a dry twig and took out a packet of rock candy in the leather bag in front of him and handed it to Ku Gechi, who took Ai Yachi and Sarilang and turned to go back, but was stopped by the old man.

"Little master, my old Uighur has never been a fool in selling things, you gave me too much silver, I'll give you some change!" The three children turned around and stopped, and watched the old man take out two copper coins from the small bag around his waist, "Take it! Come to me when you want to eat candy! The little young master is so strong! Miss is also beautiful! Hehehehe!"

The three children ran and walked back, Ai Yachi and Sarilang both stared at the small rough paper bag in Hu Gechi's hand, Hu Ge Chi saw that they couldn't wait, so he lowered his head and wanted to open the paper bag and give them candy to eat, but he still held two copper coins in his hand, stretched out his hand and gave Ai Yachi one, and the other turned around and handed it to Sarilang. Sa Rilang had never seen a copper coin, so he looked at it strangely in his hand, "What is this?" Hu Gechi was busy unpacking the paper package, and explained to Sa Rilang, "This is a copper coin from the Central Plains, used to buy things!" Sa Rilang still didn't understand, reached out and took a handful of rock candy handed over by Hu Gechi, and with the other hand, he tucked the copper coin in the middle of his belt, and took a piece of rock candy to look at. The rock candy is roughly a diamond-shaped, crystal clear like a small piece of ice but does not melt, the outer layer melts a little and sticky to the hands, seeing Ai Ya Chi throw the rock candy into his mouth and chew it, Sarilang put it on his tongue and licked it, so sweet!

The three children climbed the wall and returned to the palace, and when they were about to return to their Eji, they saw something strange in the palace. There were many sergeants lined up from the front yard of the palace to the back hall, and Sarilang saw that he was a little hesitant, and the two cousins were not surprised, and hugged them in. "Father, Kublai Khan, Aza, you are back, we miss you so much!" the two princes called out happily on their knees beside a strong man, hugging his legs. Sarilang saw his Aza in the crowd and wanted to get closer, but when he saw that his mother and Khugechi's mother were bowing to Khugechi's Azha, the sensible Sarilang also quickly bowed her head and knelt, and she didn't even know who to kneel to. The prince of Kublai Khan kindly pulled up Ku Ge Chi and Ai Ya Chi, and called everyone to get up and talk, so that the soldiers outside all retreated. He also noticed Sarilang kneeling in the corner, and asked strangely, "Who is that beautiful girl?" "Ku Ge Chi and Ai Ya Chi also chirped that they were Sister Sarilang.

Kublai Khan was a little surprised, "Oh? Hedan Anda, when did you have such a beautiful daughter? Why haven't I heard you mention it?"

He Dan said: "I'm afraid you will laugh at it, it was before the reign of Guiyou Great Khan, in Hala and Lin my wife Wogedai was pregnant with her, but then we went to Gansu and Qinghai and then to the Central Plains, and we didn't have a chance to return to Hala and Lin for ten years, and I almost forgot that Wogedai was pregnant with a child at that time." I saw this daughter this summer when I went to visit Wagdai when you were summoned by Möngke Khan to Hara Horin. Their mother and daughter are lonely in the northern capital, and I am afraid that they will suffer any more, so I will bring them to the Central Plains, and this little family matter has not alarmed Anda. Prince Kublai Khan looked at Wogedai again and said to Hedan: "You and I Anda have seen each other, and you should have mentioned it to me earlier." Then he turned to his wife: "Chabi, I and Hedan Anda are passing through when we come back this time, and we are about to send troops, and I ask you to make more arrangements for the affairs of the family, and you must also take care of the family of Hedan Anda." Hedan Anda is my most powerful confidant, I need him to fight with me in peace, I believe that Chabi you will be able to do these things well," Chabi said: "Don't worry, prince, you are busy with things, Hedan has already introduced Wogedai and I to know, I still remember the beautiful girl of Wogdai with big eyes and Turkic blood, look how beautiful their daughter is!"

Everyone talked about some common things again, and asked Wogedai if there were any difficulties, so Hedan said goodbye to Kublai Khan and went back with Wogedai and Sarilang.

Sarilang has been in the grassland since he was born, and the people he saw were either herdsmen or soldiers, and after coming to the Central Plains, the servants paid for everything, and he didn't need money at all. Therefore, it is very rare to hold this copper coin, and I cherish it and take it out every day to play. I can't always go to my brothers to play, Sarilang was bored in the room alone, so he took out the copper coin again, fiddled with it and slowly became a little sleepy.

In my eyes, all these scenes are like an immersive three-D movie, so real that I feel that I have participated in it, and I can't help but want to say a few words several times, but what I said to me does not exist at all in the three-D movie, only feelings but no actions, and I am a bystander in it.

This time it was even more suffocating, and I was so anxious that I yelled, though it had no effect on the development of the thing, like a nightmare, screaming in terror in a dream without making a sound, almost like that. What am I afraid of? I saw the cute little princess Sarilang lying on the bed, holding the copper coin in her mouth, slowly closing her beautiful eyes, and falling asleep!
