Xuan Ying and Xuan Ying were thrilled to see a lush green expanse appearing ahead.
They stared at the oasis ahead, feeling as if they had parted the clouds.
"Juan'er, I'll take you to find a doctor right away." Xuanming said, and together with Xuanying, they quickened their pace.
Finally, they made it out of the desert.
At that moment, Lightning had already found a bird that was dead sometime ago and began to gnaw on it.
"Xuanying, what should we do next?" Xuanming looked around, genuinely unsure of where they were.
Gu Xiaoran: "Is that even a question? Of course, we went east."
Xuan Ying: "Young Master, are you sure we came from the west?"
Xuanming: "Isn't that so?" He and Xuanying looked at each other simultaneously.
It must be admitted that they had long since lost their way.
He murmured helplessly, "Which way is east?"
Gu Xiaoran squinted, following the two as they looked around, searching for something to help them orient themselves.
Finally, his little head turned towards the setting sun, then pointed in one direction.
"That's east."
"How do you know?" Xuan Ying asked in confusion, and Xuan Ming asked in the same way.
Gu Xiaoran: "My mother said that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. In the morning, your shadow points west; at noon, the sun is due south, and your shadow points north. In the evening, the sun is in the west..."
So, that's east.
Along the way, no one asked him about directions, and he was only focused on finding his mother, which is why he couldn't tell which way was which.
Xuan Ying nodded secretly.
He picked up Gu Xiaoran and started walking eastward.
Gu Xiaoran drifted off to sleep.
At this time, Xuanming and Xuanying began searching for nearby villages to find a doctor to treat Zhu Juan.
Under the moonlight of the night, they walked through a birch forest, and gradually, they saw signs of human habitation.
Unexpectedly, the place was filled with people, but also chaos.
They were seen running quickly in groups of three or five, carrying their bundles.
Xuan Ying stopped one of the people, intending to ask for directions.
But when that person saw Xuan Ying, he was so afraid that he couldn't avoid it and pushed her away and ran away.
He then asked a second person, and was also refused.
"Why are all these villagers in such a hurry?" Xuan Ying asked, puzzled.
Xuanming was also puzzled.
He looked at an elderly woman and stepped forward to stop her.
"Madam, if I may ask, are there any doctors or physicians around here?"
Fortunately, he managed to stop an elderly woman.
"No, the village chief has run away, and the doctor is in dire straits himself. Brave warrior, the barbarian tribes are attacking! Run! They'll capture anyone they see. If you don't run now, you'll only face certain death."
As the old woman spoke, she glanced with surprise at Zhu Juan behind Xuan Ming. She wondered if these people's villages had also been invaded by barbarians.
"A barbarian tribe?" Xuanxiang was about to ask further, but saw that the old woman had already run away.
At this moment, Xuan Ying stopped the limping old man again and asked him,
"Grandpa, may I ask where this place is?"
"Get out of the way." The old man was clearly impatient when he was stopped.
He twisted his ankle because he was running too fast.
After he finished speaking, he ran straight away.
Xuan Ying didn't give up and continued to stop people and ask, "Brother, where is this place?"
"You don't know? Why are you here? I am from Qinghu Village, and this is Xirong."
Finally, he learned the name of the village from a young man.
And he also learned that here,
It belongs to the western Rong region.
They thought they had already reached the Western Regions, but unexpectedly, they were still halfway there.
