Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

The sound of huqin was heard not far away, and Ah Bing sighed after hearing it: "I thought the sound of qin in the grassland was the most beautiful, but I didn't expect there to be such a sound of qin in the desert. It's really the sound of nature..." In the depths of the desert is the Crescent Lake, where people and horses drink to their hearts content with the Hu trees. Suddenly I heard the sound of the zither blowing in with the wind, and it was suspected that there was no sound in the world. After leaving the grassland, they sold their horses and bought a camel with a sheepskin on its back. A Bing led the camel. The three of them walked hard in the desert, often meeting business travelers going back and forth along the way.

At a glance, there is a boundless desert without a single grass or wind. A Bing remembered the poem that sister Qin had memorized, and read it out of his mouth: Wulanqinwa turned her head and asked, "What is Ah Bing reading?" "Read an ancient poem." "A Bing is really knowledgeable." "This is what sister Qin often recites. She can recite a lot of poems." "Hey, that's great. When I find her, I will worship her as my teacher." "A Bing, drink some water!" The old man walking aside handed him the water bag. A Bing took two sips of water, handed it to Ulan Qinwa, and said, "Qinwa, I'll lead the camel, you drink two sips of water."

"Okay." Qinwa took the skin bag. The three of them felt their mouths were dry and unbearable, and the water in their skins had been drunk, but the scorching sun was still shining, there was not a single cloud in the sky, and the golden desert was scorching hot. A Bing thought to himself, no matter how hard it is, he will never look back, and must find Qinmei. The old man turned around and said, "Crescent Moon Spring is coming soon, you can not only drink water, but also hear the sound of Huqin in the barbarian business travel." Sure enough, the sound of huqin was heard in the distance, and A Bing praised: "I thought the qin sound in the grassland was the most beautiful, but I didn't expect there to be such a qin sound in the desert. It is really the sound of nature."

A Bing said excitedly again: "The roots of the erhu are in the Hu people in the northwest. I didn't expect to find the roots this time." Wu Lanqinwa said: "The Hu people are really good at playing the qin. Listen to them more, and your erhu will improve." A Bing said with a smile: "I hope that during this trip, I can not only find the Qin sister, but also learn how to play the piano played by barbarians." "It will definitely, Changshengtian will bless us." Wulanqinwa said. The sound of the beautiful huqin was getting closer and closer, and after a while, A Bing saw the green trees and the pavilion, and shouted: "Ah, the Crescent Lake is finally here."

"Yes, that is the Crescent Lake, the Pearl of the Desert," said the old man. A Bing stood on the sand and looked at it and sighed: "It really looks like a crescent moon on the desert, so beautiful." Many passing businessmen have already come to the Crescent Moon Spring. Under the shade of the trees by the spring, some are drinking water, some are chatting, and there are two Persian girls dancing... The most attractive thing for A Bing is a man dressed as a barbarian. A person is playing the huqin, the sound of the qin is ups and downs, rough and high, which is completely different from the charm of Jiangnan. A Bing thought that he had finally found the root of the erhu, and couldn't help walking towards that person.

He put his right hand on his left chest and gave the man an amen salute, saying, "Good amen!" The man stopped playing the violin, looked up at A Bing, saw that he was carrying the violin on his back, and returned the salute, saying, "Brother also likes to play the violin?" "Yes, I like it very much. You play the piano really well. Can you teach me?" "Then you play your piano first, I'll hear the difference, and then I'll talk to you." "OK." At this time, Ulanqinwa handed A Bing water to drink, and A Bing played after a few sips. A Bing's qin was integrated into the matouqin, making it even more moving. The beautiful sound of the qin shocked everyone. Everyone stops and listens.

The barbarian was very appreciative of it, and started to discuss with A Bing... It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that the uncle desperately urged him to go on his way, and then reluctantly said goodbye to the barbarian. As the desert goes away, people become rarer, and A Bing still inquires about Qinmei's whereabouts whenever he meets anyone.But still no news. On this day, the weather was extremely hot, and the three of them were walking with difficulty, when suddenly the person in front shouted: "The desert storm is coming, hide quickly!" A Bing raised his head and saw that not far away was a strong wind blowing yellow sand, and the uncle hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and hide under the camel!"

The three hurriedly squatted under the camel. In an instant, the sky was dark, and the sand from the strong wind hit their bodies, causing unbearable pain. Suddenly, there was a rush of horseshoes and shouts, and in the dimness, people could only hear people shouting: "The sand bandits are coming, run away!" A Bing's eyes were fascinated by the sand, and he couldn't open them, so he rubbed them anxiously. In his panic, he saw two villains suddenly rushing to Ulan Qinwa, dragging her to the horse and running away. "Qinwa, return my child," the uncle shouted hoarsely.

The storm passed, and A Bing and the uncle stood on the sand in disappointment and panted. The uncle said sadly: "What should I do, my Qin baby has fallen into the hands of sand bandits, what should I do!" A Bing said: "Master, don't worry, we must find Qin Baby back." The two were talking, when they suddenly heard "A Bing, why are you here! We are going to pick you up!"! A Bing turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Fenglei, and hurriedly said: "Brother Fenglei, you guys came just in time. My uncle's daughter was robbed by sand bandits just now, think of a way."

The uncle also said: "Hurry up and save my daughter." Zhang Fenglei said: "Master, don't worry, we will definitely help you find it." Zhang Fenglei and Xiao Zhao got on their horses and rushed west as if flying... A Bing and the uncle led the camel and walked forward together with a group of merchants. The sun was westward, so Zhang Fenglei and the others brought Ulanqinwa back. The uncle was full of grief and joy, and Wulanqinwa threw herself into the uncle's arms and wept uncontrollably. She choked up and said, "Abba, thanks to the two uncles Fenglei who saved me, otherwise I would have died."

A Bing hurriedly said, "Thank you so much." The uncle asked, "How did you save him?" Zhang Fenglei said: "We took one of their little gangsters as a hostage before we got Wulanqinwa back." "Thank you so much." The uncle hurriedly bowed deeply to Zhang Fenglei and the others. Zhang Fenglei hurriedly supported the uncle and said: "They are all hardworking people, no thanks." "Hurry up and drink some water." A Bing handed the skin bag to Zhang Fenglei. Wulanqinwa said, "Bingo, I found out about sister Qin's whereabouts." "Ah, tell me quickly, where is she?" A Bing asked anxiously. "I heard that the person who was captured by the sand bandits said that she would be sold to Persia. Sister Qin refused to obey and demanded that she be sent back to Jiangnan. People, said to leave early." Upon hearing this, Ah Bing said, "Then I'm going back to Jiangsu and Anhui to find her, and I'm going to go back." At this time, it was getting dark, and the uncle said, "Let's have something to eat and drink first, and discuss it at night before making a decision, shall we?" So they sat down on the sand and ate dry food, Zhang Fenglei said: "A Bing, we are here to pick you up, come with us, Chairman Mao is here in northern Shaanxi, and the Communist Party leads the poor to revolutionize the world. One day, the poor will have a better life." A Bing said: "Brother Fenglei, I want to go with you, but I must go back to find Yang Qin. When I find her, I will take her to northern Shaanxi to find you, okay?" Seeing that A Bing insisted on going back, Zhang Fenglei could only say, "That's up to you. We will send you out of the desert tomorrow, and you can go back." "Thank you, Brother Fenglei." At dawn, A Bing said goodbye to the uncle and Ulan Qinwa: "Master, Qin baby, thank you, A Bing will never forget your great kindness, I wish you a safe journey." The uncle said: "Good boy, let's go, may Changshengtian pray and bless you to find that poor child." With tears in her eyes, Wulanqinwa choked up and said, "Goodbye, Bingge, may the God of Longevity bless you." She burst into tears as she spoke. The uncle thanked Zhang Fenglei again and said, "Good man, thank you for saving my daughter." Wulanqinwa knelt down to Zhang Fenglei and the two, crying: "Thank you two gods for saving your life, Wulanqinwa will never forget it, may Changshengtian bless you both." Zhang Fenglei and the two hurriedly helped the girl up, and said: "We are leaving, you have to go with the business traveler, it will be safer." So A Bing and Zhang Fenglei rode a horse, and the three of them headed east... On this day, I finally walked out of the desert. A Bing and Zhang Fenglei were about to break up. A Bing said, "Thank you Brother Fenglei and Brother Zhao for sending me out of the desert." A Bing bowed deeply to them and said: " When I find Miss Qin, I will come to northern Shaanxi to look for you." Zhang Fenglei said: "Brother, we are waiting for you and welcome you to northern Shaanxi." Zhang Fenglei gave the horse he was riding to A Bing and said, "Ride back, it will be faster." "Thank you, Brother Fenglei!" A Bing rode on his horse, turned his head several times and left, and heard Zhang Fenglei shouting from a distance: "A Bing, we are waiting for you to come to northern Shaanxi, we are waiting for you to play the huqin, we are waiting for you to come..." "Hey, brother Fenglei..."
