Chapter 4 To the East

"Yang Ran'er!"

Xia Yun repeated it and sighed: "What a special name, it sounds so nice."

Then he said: "That's right, my brother asked me to come over to see if you're awake, and if you wake up, go and tell him, I've forgotten that I'm talking to you."

Then he got up and pulled the quilt for Laya who was lying on the bed, and said: "I have changed all the clothes on your body for you. Fortunately, there is no external injury, but Uncle Zhang said that you have serious internal injuries. Now you just don't care about everything." Don't think about lying down and resting, I will accompany you when I go."

Seeing Raya smiling at her, he said to Raya again, as if worried: "You are seriously injured, don't move around. Lie down and sleep for a while, I will come to see you later."

After speaking, he turned and left the house.

"Ran'er"?
"Yang Ran'er"?
Raya read these words lightly, smiled unconsciously, and gave herself an oriental name without thinking about it.

It sounds pretty good.

Raya smiled with satisfaction, not bad not bad!
Just when Xia Yun asked the word "Ran'er" uncertainly, Laya didn't understand how Xia Yun could hear "Raya" as "Ran'er"?

But when I heard "Ran'er", I felt very good, very kind.

Laya knew that Dongfang’s name had a surname in front of it, and Xia Yun said that they were a caravan returning to Luoyang. Luoyang is the capital of the Sui Dynasty, the largest country in the East, and the emperor of the Sui Dynasty was Yang Guang.

In a flash, the words "Yang Ran'er" blurted out.

"Then there will be another 'Yang Raner' in the world from now on!" Laya thought secretly.

But the name is just a small problem.

How did I come to this desert oasis alone, and I don't look like an oriental, this is a big problem.

The most important thing is to think of a good rhetoric.

At this moment, Raya is very glad that she is not as blond and blue-eyed as Raphael, otherwise it will be a lot of trouble to explain.

……

"My mother is a Persian, and the town where I was born was the only place through which Sui silk was sold to the West.

My mother has seen these caravans of all kinds from east and west come in an endless stream since she was a child.While the caravans came and went, they also brought the oriental Han culture to this foreign remote town.

When my mother was 17 years old, a man from the Sui caravan was unable to continue with the caravan due to serious illness, so he had to stay in the small town to recuperate.

At that time, my mother had been admiring the oriental culture for a long time, and seeing this oriental man recuperating in her inn, she took the initiative to take care of him, and they developed feelings after coming and going.

After the man recovered completely from his illness, he met a caravan he knew well in the past, so he decided to take his mother back to Tai Sui's hometown.

Just as they were about to pass through the Western Turks and enter the Sui Dynasty, they encountered a huge sandstorm.

After the sandstorm passed, the mother found that only the bodies of the two companions were left beside her, and the camels, luggage and others were all gone.

In the vast desert, my mother lost her way, with nothing on her but a pot of water.

My mother walked toward the rising sun for a day and two nights. When she was hungry and thirsty, she met several herdsmen raising camels.

The herdsmen brought the mother back to their tribe, and at that time the mother found out that she was pregnant. "

"How did this happen? Your mother was pregnant by herself, so what should I do? Did you find your father later? Then you...?"

Ran'er hadn't finished telling her "life experience", but was interrupted anxiously by Xia Yun. In her opinion, it is such a tragic thing not to be able to stay with the person she loves.

Ran'er has read a lot of love and hatred in the world. The stories can be told casually, but those who have not experienced the feelings can't understand the pain.

He could only take Xia Yun's words lightly and continue talking.

"I have never met my father, and my mother rarely mentioned about my father. I only know that his surname is Yang."

"Then did your mother stay in the tribe? She is pregnant and alone again. Whether it is going back to her hometown or your father's hometown, it is a very difficult thing.

But you two stay in a Turkic tribe, who taught you your standard Chinese?

Also, how come you are here all alone, where is your mother? "

Xia Yun was curious and anxiously asked all kinds of questions, and Ran'er was stunned for a while, not knowing where to answer.

Scraping his thoughts, Ran'er continued.

"My mother stayed in the tribe and gave birth to me. She, a weak woman and a newborn girl, can only stay in the tribe.

The tribe often takes in some business travelers who encounter difficulties, some will leave after a period of rest and recovery, and some will stay in the tribe from then on.

And my mother and I stayed there.

There is a Han gentleman in the tribe. He is knowledgeable and speaks politely. He assists in the camel trade in the tribe.

When he was free, he taught the children in the tribe to read and write. In my memory, I have been learning from this gentleman since I was very young.Growing up in a tribe, I learned about the outside world from my husband. "

"No wonder!" Xia Yun suddenly realized: "I said that you don't look like a Han Chinese, but more like a girl from the Western Regions, and you can speak pure Chinese."

Then he asked with concern: "Then why are you here alone with serious injuries?"

Ran'er thought silently in her heart, "Sure enough, it's still strange that I appear!"

Then he said with a sad face: "I slept in a daze the other night, and the sound of fighting and crying outside the house woke me up. I hurried out to see what was going on. My God!"

Speaking of this, Ran'er continued tearfully as if recalling a painful experience: "The group of men in black, they killed everyone they saw, even the elderly and children. They killed people, robbed us of our property, and set fire to them Our homes burned. They were like demons from hell, and our tribe became hell!"

Speaking of the sad part, Ran'er couldn't help crying and twitching.

Seeing the girl in front of him so helpless and sad, Xia Yun couldn't help feeling distressed, and quickly sat beside Ran Er, took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on Ran Er's face, stretched out the other hand to hug Ran Er's neck A slight pat on the shoulder.

He comforted in his mouth: "It's okay, it's okay, everything is over, you have met us, you will no longer be in danger, don't worry, we will protect you."

After finishing speaking, Xia Yun suddenly remembered something, and then asked: "What about your mother, have you separated?"

In fact, what Ran'er recalled at this moment was the war with the Demon Realm that he witnessed with his own eyes.

so tragic!

Thinking of Raphael, thinking of...

But Xia Yun's question brought her back to reality. She leaned her head on Xia Yun's shoulder and said leisurely: "My mother died when I was 16 years old. Everyone in the tribe is my mother. My relatives, the tribe is my home, but now they are all gone, all gone.”

After speaking, two more tears came out, but I don't know why they shed tears.

Xia Yun looked at the soft woman leaning on his shoulder, and couldn't help but said: "No, you met us, you have us, you go back to Chang'an with us, back to your father's hometown, from now on we will be your family."

"Really? Can I really follow you?" Ran'er asked uncertainly.

But I thought in my heart, this is really good, I didn't expect to meet such kind people, following them is the best thing for Ran'er now.

"It must be true, not to mention that you have suffered such a serious injury. It is impossible for my brother to let you leave before your injury is well. Besides, where can you go alone as a girl?" Xia Yun replied.

Then Xia Yun turned his head to come in with him, and stood not far from Ran'er's bed, the man in Tsing Yi said silently: "Brother, do you think so?"

"En!" The man in green nodded to Xia Yun, and asked Ran'er, "Why did you suffer such serious injuries?"

Before asking Uncle Zhang to treat her, Uncle Zhang said that the girl was very, very seriously injured.

Moreover, there is a very strange and strong aura in her body, which has been messing around in her body. For a person without a little internal strength, he should have been seriously injured and died long ago.

It is a miracle that she is still alive, it can only show that the person who hurt her is by no means easy.

"Me!" Ran'er lowered her eyes as if she had fallen into a sad memory again.

"I was hiding in dark corners that night, trying to help but not knowing how.

Later, I heard strange fighting sounds not far away, as if there was a gentleman's voice, so I quietly walked around.

I saw that my husband was besieged by several men in black. Seeing that my husband was about to be captured by them, I was anxious at the time and rushed out without thinking much.

Then I was slapped by a man in black. I only felt a strong force press into my body, and I passed out after a burst of severe pain. "

"Have passed out?" The man in Tsing Yi looked at Ran'er thoughtfully and said these three words.

Xia Yun asked anxiously: "Then what happened later? Who brought you here? Why are you alone?"

"I don't know, I woke up in this oasis, there was no one around me except a few camels, and then I passed out again by the pond, and when I woke up, I saw the horse bandit rushing towards me, and You saved me!"

"Then..." Xia Yun was about to speak when he was interrupted by the man in Tsing Yi, asking, "Where is your tribe?"

In my impression, apart from the stockade of horse bandits, there are some tribes that raise camels in the no-regarded area on the edge of the desert.

But I always have some strange feelings about this girl, is she telling the truth?

Ran'er looked at the man in green helplessly, and said with tears in his eyes, "I don't know, I've never been out of the tribe."

After thinking for a while, Ran'er continued: "Every time it comes to the market, the men in the tribe will take their camels to the market to trade, but my husband won't let me go, he said that in this troubled world, girls go The market is too dangerous."

Ran'er said on the lips but kept praying in her heart: "Don't ask any more questions, if you don't know how to answer them!"

Fortunately, the man in Tsing Yi seemed to have doubts, but he had no intention of continuing to ask.

He only said to Ran'er: "Forget it, you can follow us first. But the caravan can't be delayed any longer because of you. The caravan must set off tomorrow morning."

"Brother, Ran'er has such a serious injury, will she be able to withstand the bumpy road when she starts tomorrow morning?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I can hold on, don't delay your trip because of me." Ran'er said hastily.

"But..." Xia Yun was really worried about Ran'er.

But she also knew that the caravan couldn't just stay here and not set off, and she could only swallow back what she wanted to say in a dilemma.

The man in Tsing Yi looked at his sister's embarrassment and aggrieved look, sighed softly, and said patiently: "There are still a few days before we can leave the desert. The caravan's dry food and supplies are being consumed every day, and it will be more dangerous to leave the desert one day later."

After hearing what the man in Tsing Yi said, Ran'er knew that it would be very difficult for the entire caravan to stay for a day, and she couldn't drag them down any longer.

She looked at the man in Tsing Yi sincerely and said: "Thank you, thank you for saving me and taking me in, but you can't delay your trip because of me. I know that I am seriously injured. I didn't meet you. Maybe I have already died again now." I can't wake up, maybe I don't know what will happen if I was captured by the horse bandits, even if I can't walk out of this vast desert with you in the end, I am still very grateful to meet you at the last moment of my life."

Hearing what Ran'er said, Xia Yun became anxious, "Ran'er, what are you talking about, why can't you get out of the desert? You still want to..."

"Okay, let's not talk about anything else, let's go tomorrow morning!" The man in Tsing Yi interrupted Xia Yun's words, and then explained to Xia Yun: "Yun Yun, you can ask Uncle Zhang to come over to give Miss Yang a diagnosis and treatment later. At present, you are short of medical care and medicine, and you cooperate with Uncle Zhang to find a way to stabilize Miss Yang's injury, and then heal Miss Yang after leaving the desert."

"Got it, brother!"

"Thank you!" Even though there were thousands of words, Ran'er didn't know how to express them, all the emotions could only be transformed into two words of thank you.

The man in Tsing Yi nodded in response to Ran'er, seemed to want to say something but held back, and only said to Xia Yun: "I'll make arrangements for tomorrow's departure first, and you take good care of her." After speaking, he turned and walked out of the tent .

Looking at the back of the man in Tsing Yi walking out.

Ran'er was infinitely grateful and said to Xia Yun again: "Thank you, I am so lucky to have met you."

……

Demon Realm at this time.

The breeze blows over the heather that covers the entire hill, and the purple-black flowers overflow with the wind, which is very comfortable and not pungent.

The blooming heather stretches to the corner of the palace of the Demon King in the distance.

The palace made of black marble drifts in the faint blue-purple mist, like a dream.

This is the Demon Realm, which belongs to the world of the Demon Lord Edreyson.

This Demon Realm is not a world of demons as generally recognized by humans, but it is controlled by demons here.

In this demon realm, in addition to the demon race, there are also many goblins and elves, as well as powerful half-orcs.

And in this world, what they hate the most is angels.

No, by the lakeside of Lake Aittis, which is not far from the palace of the devil, there is a group of dwarf melon goblins and cute elves.

They all heard that the demon king-Adreyson was attacked by the angel army when he was passing through the edge of the sky, and their powerful and omnipotent demon king was seriously injured.

"How could our great Demon King let those stupid heavenly people get hurt?" The fairies were chattering.

"Those celestial beings are really deceiving people!"

"Despicable and petty!"

"That's right, they actually sent an archangel to sneak attack His Majesty the Demon King."

"The heavens are really boring!"

"His Majesty the Great Demon King who has been chasing us for a hundred years will not let go!"

"What a disgusting celestial person!"

The goblin kept accusing the angels in the heaven, and the elves kept echoing, "Yes! Yes!"

A goblin with a purple-black heather flower in his ear squeezed over and said in a hoarse voice, "I heard that His Majesty the Demon King was seriously injured."

"Really? That's troublesome. Will the people of the heavens take the opportunity to invade our demon world?" an elf echoed.

"Come on, come on, if people from the heavenly world dare to come, I will tear them all to pieces!" A fairy with a lotus leaf on her head said with her hands on her hips.

An elf rose into the air with butterfly-like wings, made a throwing motion and said, "I think it would be better to throw them all into the lake!"

The goblins and elves gathered by Lake Aittis are still discussing endlessly, and not far away in the palace of the devil, the four apostles of the devil are quietly waiting for the arrival of the devil in the conference hall.

The four apostles represent the four elements of the demon world: water, fire, wind, and earth.

They can over control these four elements of the demon world and make them their own power. Of course, they can leave the demon world to go anywhere, as long as they have the four elements, they can still make them their own power and release them.

They are:
Derek of the Water Elemental.

Austin of the fire element.

Herman of the wind element.

Scotta of the earth elemental.

"Wang Cong has been recuperating to heal his wounds since he came back. He summoned us for the first time today. I don't know how the injuries are." Herman thought silently in his heart, but didn't make a sound.

The four apostles all remained silent, but they were always worried about the physical condition of the Demon King.

Never had their king been so badly wounded.

Even in the war with the heavens more than 30 years ago, their Wang Lian beheaded the two archangels, but only suffered a little skin trauma, but this time he was severely injured by Raphael.

Although the angel who appeared suddenly affected the king's attention and received Raphael's sword, it was not that badly injured.

Each of them was full of doubts.

In doubt, I saw the devil-Adreyson walk into the meeting hall, strode up the steps and sat on his throne.

I saw this legendary, rebellious, cruel and vicious demon king who did whatever he wanted, with an incomparably handsome face, with eyes as deep as night against his fair skin, thick eyebrows of the same color as his hair slightly raised, sharp-edged The lines of the face are more imposing, the high nose and lips form the most perfect match, and the hair that is darker than black is casually scattered behind the shoulders...

"King!" Derek broke the silence of the chamber.

Edreyson raised his eyes to show that he was continuing to speak.

"My subordinates are very worried about the king's health. I don't know how the king's injuries are now?" Derek asked respectfully and worriedly.

Edreyson bent slightly and put his arm on his leg, and returned thoughtfully with his chin on the other: "This king is careless, this time the injury is very serious. I have been injured after so many days of self-retreat. But there hasn’t been much improvement.”

Austin, who has always been impatient, said worriedly: "Although Raphael's sword stabbed the king, it didn't hurt the vitals. Why did the king suffer such serious internal injuries?"

This was a question for the four of them, but Edreson didn't intend to explain, and just continued: "The sword wound is no longer a hindrance, but the breath in my body is scattered now, and I can't condense it so that I can't use any power."

After all, he raised his hand on his chin, trying to condense his energy in the palm, but no power appeared in the palm, and Edreyson spit out a mouthful of blood.

"King!" The shocked four apostles didn't know what to do.

They knew that their king was seriously injured, but they didn't expect it to be so serious.

Edreyson wiped the blood off his mouth, waved his hands to show that they were not in the way, and then said: "This king's injury can't be recovered in a short time, and it's not a problem when you don't use power, but this king Worried that the heavens will take this opportunity to commit crimes..."

"Actually, I never thought that the king's injury was so severe, so Raphael, who injured the king, would he know that he had injured the king to this extent?" Derek asked uncertainly, if he didn't know that the king was injured so badly. Will the heavenly world come to commit the injury?
Scotta said thoughtfully: "But it is obvious to all that the king is injured. No matter how the king is injured, as long as the king's strength weakens, then there is a great chance for the heavens."

"Your Majesty, just rest assured and heal your wounds. Even if the heavens really invade, we will swear to the death to protect the Demon Realm." Derek, who has not spoken, said respectfully to Adrienson.

"Defending the Demon Realm in this way will definitely cause heavy casualties to the Demon Realm, not to mention other losses." Scotta did not approve of defending the Demon Realm to the death
He thought for a while and continued: "Actually, the target of the heavenly one is our king. If the king is not in the Demon Realm, why would they mobilize their troops to invade the Demon Realm?"

Edreyson raised his brows and asked, "You mean to let this king leave the Demon Realm?"

"Yes, we can find a place that is not easy to reach in the heavens and hide it for the king to heal quietly. After the king recovers from his injuries, we will have a long-term plan.

And if we accidentally leak the wind, let the one in the heaven know that the king has left the demon realm to heal his wounds. "

"That's a good idea, let me think about it." Edreson seemed very interested in this proposal.

"Although this world is big, where is the place where the heavens are not easily accessible?" Austin couldn't help but ask after thinking for a long time.

"Then the East is the most ideal place!" Scotta replied.

"East..." Edreyson pondered for a moment, and then said: "Then go to the East!"
