Chapter Forty-Nine: The Oasis
Xiao Xiaotian followed Gegentana out of the house, the bright sun shining on her delicate face. Xiao Xiaotian had been in the house for a long time, and now she felt that the sun was a little dazzling, so she covered the light with her hand and quickly looked around.
Xiao Xiaotian asked, "Sister, where is this, why is it so beautiful?"
Gegentana was very proud: "Beautiful! This is my home, don't look at it as a small oasis, but this oasis is the hope of the Gobi Desert." ”
Xiao Xiaotian looked into the distance again, the grass was green, the willows and aspen trees were tall and green, and he was standing in a delicate small courtyard. However, the extent of this oasis is very small, and it is not necessary to have a great effort to see the vast Gobi Desert beyond the oasis.
Gegentana pointed to a small river not far away: "Sister, look, there is another small river here. ”
Xiao Xiaotian looked in the direction that Gergentana was pointing, and a small river was flowing quietly on the grass of the oasis. It is it that nourishes the earth and gives birth to such a beautiful and vibrant oasis on this barren Gobi Desert.
Xiao Xiaotian asked, "Where can this small river flow?"
Gegentana thought for a moment and said, "Hmm... Although it can't flow out of this Gobi, it has been flowing stubbornly. ”
Although Gegentana didn't say where the river could flow when it fell to the ground, Xiao Xiaotian felt that what she said made sense. A small river is so stubborn in the Gobi that even if it doesn't go far, it's enough to make people feel awe.
The two of them walked aimlessly while talking, and Gegentana proudly introduced everything here to Xiao Xiaotian.
Before she knew it, she had reached the edge of the oasis, and Gegentana pointed to a row of poplars behind her and said, "Each of us should live like them, not chasing the sun and not greedy for the rain, they are the strongest voice of this indomitable Saibei." ”
Xiao Xiaotian looked at Gegentana's immature but tough face and said, "I think sister, you are like this poplar, your character is really good." ”
Gergentana laughed deliciously, she smiled sweetly, and it looked even more beautiful in the bright sun, which made people feel happy to see it.
Further out is an endless gravel beach that glows golden in the midday sun. The pristine and rough gravel beach records the vicissitudes of this vast Gobi.
Suddenly, a white figure swept over the gravel beach and came straight in the direction of this oasis, her body was extremely fast, her toes only needed to touch the gravel lightly, and her body flew forward several meters, and in the blink of an eye, she was in front of Xiao Xiaotian and Gegentana.
Gegentana looked very happy: "Mother, this sister is awake, I will take her out for a walk." ”
Gegentana's mother's name is Nomin, which means jasper.
At the age of thirty-five or sixteen, Numin also wore a white Mongolian robe, which was only less embellishment than Gegentana's robe, but it had a light beauty, her hair was tied up in a bun, and her facial features were very three-dimensional like most northerners. Her expression was extremely cold, but she still smiled when she saw Gegentana and Xiao Xiaotian. But the smile was fleeting, and soon her face returned to coldness.
Gegentana introduced: "Sister, this is my mother. ”
Xiao Xiaotian hurriedly saluted Gegentana's mother and said, "The younger generation has seen my aunt, thank you for saving my life." ”
Nuo Min's eyes were very soft when she looked at Xiao Xiaotian, obviously she liked Xiao Xiaotian very much.
Xiao Xiaotian saw that Nuo Min's eyes were very kind when he looked at her, so he also relaxed, and said: "If it weren't for the seniors who came to the rescue, I'm afraid my life would have been gone." ”
Nuo Min said: "Let's not talk about this, what is your mother's name?"
Xiao Xiaotian didn't know why Nuo Min asked his mother's name, but he felt that since his benefactor asked, he answered truthfully: "My mother's name is Xiao Yingying, do you know my mother?"
A rare smile appeared on Nuo Min's face again: "That's it, of course I know her, your name is Xiao Xiaotian, right?"
Xiao Xiaotian was even more surprised when he heard that Nuo Min could call out his name casually: "My name is Xiao Xiaotian, senior, you know so well?"
Nuo Min said: "Can I not know? Your mother saved my life, but now I have saved you, I have to say that things in this world are really the reincarnation of cause and effect." ”
Xiao Xiaotian asked again, "Then senior, how did you recognize me?"
Nomin said, "I know the piano you are carrying. ”
Xiao Xiaotian realized that Nuo Min rescued her precisely because she saw the "Nine Heavens Ring Pei" left to her by her mother, but she never understood the qin: "Senior, can you tell me what's so special about this qin?"
Nuo Min said: "Don't worry, let's go back to the house and talk slowly, that kid should change the dressing." With that, he turned around and walked home.
Xiao Xiaotian knew that what Nuo Min said was the man who sacrificed his life to save her that day, but she was not very happy when she saw that Nuo Min talking about the man, so she didn't dare to ask more.
Nuo Min walked very fast, and after a while, he was separated from Xiao Xiaotian and the others.
Gegentana leaned into Xiao Xiaotian's ear and whispered: "My mother is really strange today, she always smiles when she sees you, I have never seen her smile like this." ”
Xiao Xiaotian asked, "Doesn't my aunt usually laugh much?"
"My mother doesn't like to laugh, she always has a serious face, and she laughs at you more today than she laughs at in a year." ”
Xiao Xiaotian said: "However, I think your mother is very kind." ”
Gegentana said, "I can see that my mother likes you very much." ”
By the time Xiao Xiaotian and Gegentana walked back to the small courtyard, Nuo Min had already walked out of Yelu Hanyan's house, and she had already changed the medicine for Yelu Hanyan.
Gergentana asked, "Is that brother awake?"
Nomin said, "Not yet. ”
Gergentana asked again, "And when will he wake up?"
Nomin said, "I don't know. ”
Instead of continuing to discuss with Gegentana when Yelu Hanyan would wake up, Nuo Min asked Xiao Xiaotian to follow her into the house, she had something to say to Xiao Xiaotian. Of course, Gergentana also consciously followed.
Nuo Min looked at Xiao Xiaotian and said, "Child, why did you come out to this Gobi Desert?"
Xiao Xiaotian said: "My father was killed by Xiangma in order to protect the people in the village, and later the Xiangma robbers burned our village again, I escaped in a panic, and I didn't know where to go." As you can see, I am alive until now thanks to my predecessors. ”
Nomin asked, "What about your mother?"
Xiao Xiaotian said: "My mother died of tuberculosis when I was six years old. ”
Nomin looked sad and didn't speak for a while.
Xiao Xiaotian asked, "Senior, what's wrong with you?"
Nuo Min said: "It's nothing, I just feel that I haven't been able to see your mother again, and she saved me back then." ”
Nomin's eyes looked out the window at the clear blue sky and white clouds, and she seemed to be reminded of the old story.
