Along the way, I walked over several ravines, climbed over several small hills, and saw several piles of stones on the east side of a dirt slope, surrounded by a circle of stones. I think it might be a grave or something, but it looks so shabby that there isn't even a tombstone.

However, the distance is too far, and the eyes are a little short-sighted, so I can't see clearly at all, so I plan to go over and take a look. Looking closely, I found that it was indeed a tomb, and it was a few years old, so I probably guessed why there were no tombstones, because this is a nature reserve, and burials are not allowed in it. If the monument is erected, it will be too eye-catching, and it is easy to find the family of the person buried here according to the inscription on the tombstone, and be held legally responsible.

The reason why the stone is circled may be for positioning or identification, otherwise it may be easy to find or mistaken.

Over this small hill. Don't see several graves behind you, one of which has a black tombstone. I went to look at the inscription on it. The first impression I had of the inscription was that the words were ugly and not taken seriously. I've seen a lot of tombstones in the South, and they're all huge. The inscriptions are all in italics, square, solemn, I don't know if the tombstones here are all like this one.

I remember that there is a cemetery next to the tomb of the Xixia king, and the next time I enter Helan Mountain, I can walk in that direction, and I can also go to see the tomb of the Xixia king when I have time, after all, I have not seen the mausoleum of the princes and nobles.

However, the feng shui in this area at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain is really good, backed by the winding and circling Helan Mountain, and in front of it is a plain. The Yellow River flows by the side, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Even the tombs of the Xixia kings were built in this area, one, so such a feng shui treasure land, it is normal for someone to secretly bury their lover here, after all, there are still many people who believe in the so-called feng shui doctrine.

Originally, I wanted to set up camp near this hill because it had better lighting and was protected from the wind, but unfortunately there were several graves on this hill, and although I was not afraid and cared about them, I still felt that there was some repercussions.

When I was a child, I was the one who slept next to the graves, and there were several graves next to the vegetable patch in the back mountain, and my father liked to read the words and contents of the inscriptions. There are many things that can be learned through the words on the tombstones. So later on, I also got into the habit of looking at the inscriptions on the tombstones when I saw the grave.

There were also dozens of sheep on the road, but the shepherds didn't look at it, of course it couldn't be wild goats, and I hadn't heard of wild goats hanging bells. Although sheep grazing is not allowed in this protected area, this is the reality, I know why there is such a big hole in the fence, fortunately there are not many of them, so as not to cause too much damage to the ecology, just like we still have people in the south of the country who are planting crops on the slopes of returning farmland to forest, it is difficult to completely eradicate it.

After staying nearby for a while, I walked a few hundred meters, chose a low-lying flat land to camp in tents, and looked at the weather forecast, it will definitely not rain in this place for a week, so there is no need to think about flood control.

It's windy right now. At night, it should be bigger, so you have to choose a low-lying place to tent, otherwise it may be blown away, and if the tent keeps shaking in the middle of the night, you will definitely not be able to sleep.

It's getting dark, although I only get to the foot of the mountain, but I don't plan to go deeper, I don't know what the situation is like in the mountain, I heard the teacher say that there are wolves in Helan Mountain, although this is near a quarry, it is unlikely that such a large wild animal will appear, but I don't need to take this risk, and the supplies are not enough to support me to go deeper, this time I should be familiar with the environment, for the next time I can go deeper into the adventure and prepare.

I picked up a flat stone, cleared the place where I was going to pitch my tent, and shoveled out the small shrubs and trees, or the roots of the dead trees, with the stones, the soil was not hard, and the sandy soil was even a little loose, and soon cleared a flat land.

It was difficult to set up a tent on top of this, and it was still a little difficult to set up a tent alone in the wilderness, so I wasted a lot of time to put up the tent. Steel nails are nailed to the four corners. Four fixed ropes were pulled, and they were also nailed to the ground, and a stone was pressed on the nails to prevent the tent from being blown away by too much wind.

After the tent is set up, take out all the things in the bag, put it in the tent, take out the inflatable cushion and lay it out to inflate it, and step on the foot pump for a long time, but it has not been charged into 1/5, the ground is not very flat, nor is it hard, the pump has been unstable, and it didn't take long for the foot to start with a burst of soreness.

Seeing that this pump was so useless, I directly pulled out the gas tube and blew it through my mouth, because there is an anti-leakage mechanism, and the air will not run out of the gas pipe. After blowing for more than ten minutes, I was dizzy and dizzy, and my lips were numb before I propped up the inflatable cushion, and I had to use a pump to increase the air pressure.

After I got everything done, I looked at the time, it was already past six o'clock, and it should be an hour before it was dark, after I packed up all my things, I took a tool knife and tweezers and an empty mineral water bottle, and went out to have fun, and by the way familiarized myself with the nearby terrain.

I found a few branches and planted a few corners around the tent on the ground, and pulled them around with a thin thread to form a circle with a diameter of about 7 meters, so that if there were wild animals nearby at night or passing by, I wouldn't know anything the next day.

When I was a child, I often played in the mountains and rivers by the rocks, and there may be frogs, ant nests, crickets, caterpillars, centipedes, spiders or something under the stones, which is very interesting.

I don't know what will be hidden under the stones here, earthworms are impossible, let's see if there will be scorpions or something. I heard from the classmates who live in the local area that there are scorpions in the wild here, and there are quite a few of them.

I turned over a dozen stones, but there was nothing under most of them, only ant nests and one or two spiders were found under a few stones. After all, this is the northwest, and the biomass and density cannot be as much as in the south. Let's turn it slowly, anyway, there is time.

When moving away from a stone that was not good-looking, two centipedes of about five centimeters sprang out from underneath, because there was no hope at first, they did not react, and when they took out the tweezers from their trouser pockets, the two centipedes were long gone.

I don't know how many rocks I turned, and when I wanted to give up, I found a small scorpion under a stone, all dirty yellow, if I hadn't seen its feet moving, it might have been ignored.

Excitedly, I picked it up and put it in the bottle, observed it carefully, and wanted to take out my mobile phone Baidu, but gave up because the signal was not good. However, based on experience, I think it should be a whole scorpion that is very widespread in the northwest branch, and it should not be very toxic.

I searched through all the large rocks in the vicinity of 1,000 square meters, and only caught three, of course, there were some stones that I didn't look for, like the rocky beach next to me. Not all scorpions hide under rocks, probably burrowed, or in bushes.

It should be one or two hundred square meters of density, after all, the Gobi Desert can not give them much food, and there are rat holes everywhere on the ground, and rats are the natural enemies of scorpions and spiders. I don't think it's possible to encounter snakes, snakes in this environment are rare, and there are people herding sheep nearby, how can they survive here.

I saw several pheasants along the way, and I saw a rabbit just now, and I ran so fast that before I could react, the smoke was gone, and I didn't know which direction I went.

Taking a lot of photos of plants and insects with my mobile phone and the desolate scene I saw on the hill bag is indeed high and wide: the rolling mountains, the vast Gobi, especially when standing on the top of the mountain, reminds me of the classic poem of the poet Wang Wei:

The desert is lonely,

The sun sets over the long river.

It's a pity that this is only the Gobi or the degraded grassland, and I can't see the Yellow River, but I don't know if the long dissipated tail flame left by the plane in the distance is considered lonely smoke.

It would be interesting if I could recite a poem at this time, but unfortunately I can't think of a word after racking my brains.
