Qin Zhong and Yin Qianhe and their entourage stayed overnight every day, crossed the Yellow River, crossed Weishui, and arrived at Dunhuang along Longxi through Ganzhou and Guazhou. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When the caravan arrived in Dunhuang, it needed to stop for repairs, because it was about to leave Yangguan. Outside of Yangguan was the desert, which was almost deserted, and caravans had to walk along the southern edge of the desert for many days, so they had to supply food and water in Dunhuang, and also have to replace horse-drawn carriages with camels.

It was still early in the day, and the caravan entered the last town in front of Yangguan. After Qin Zhong and the others found an inn to stay in, they went separately to buy necessities for crossing the desert.

Wu Xiaohu and the experienced Uncle Yuan Jiu led a group of people to find camels, while Qin Chong and Yin Qianhe went to prepare dry food and water.

Yin Qianhe's first time in Dunhuang, in fact, he really wanted to see the Mogao Grottoes and Crescent Lake, but the limited time did not allow her to play around, after all, they were not here to travel.

This border town is under the jurisdiction of Shazhou Jiedu Shi, so there are many Han soldiers and horses stationed. There are also people of many other nationalities living here, so it forms a border town with multiple nationalities, languages and costumes.

But the strong influence of the Han is obvious, most foreigners can speak Chinese, and the clothing has obviously been assimilated by Hanfu.

Yin Qianhe and Qin Chong walked on top of the small bazaar, which was naturally not as good as the capital, but it was also lively. There are many small shops on the market, interspersed with villagers from the surrounding villages who pick up and sell daily necessities. After all, it is a Silk Road station, and it will not be deserted when many caravans pass by.

Halfway through the walk, I came across a small shop that specialized in dry food for caravans, with a brightly colored banner in front of the store, which was so striking in this bazaar that anyone who walked by would notice it.

After entering the small shop, Qin Chong went to negotiate with the boss to buy dry food for the desert. Although the boss wears Hanfu and speaks Chinese fluently, his appearance is very different from that of Han people, and he should be from other ethnic groups.

As the boss spoke, a few words that Yin Qianhe didn't understand at all would pop out of his mouth from time to time, just like what he had heard in the Lanzhou ramen restaurant before. But Qin Chong was able to answer fluently, and seemed to be completely unaffected by these unfamiliar languages.

After negotiating with the boss about the quantity, price and delivery time of the goods, Qin Zhong paid part of the deposit first, and this was done. Before leaving tomorrow, the owner of the shop will send someone to deliver what they have ordered to the inn where they are staying.

Coming out of the shop, Yin Qianhe asked curiously, "Second Master Qin, did you understand what he said just now?"

Qin Chong said: "I have been in the Western Regions for a while, and I have a little understanding of several words in the vicinity. This boss speaks the party language, which happens to be the one I listen to the most, so I can understand most of it. As for those who don't understand, they can understand and comprehend it themselves, and it's almost the same. ”

Yin Qianhe said enviously: "Second Master Qin, you are so powerful, I really admire you people who know a few languages."

Qin Zhong smiled: "The girl has won the award, in fact, there is nothing to admire." Girl, if you had lived here for a year and a half, you would have done more than I would, as many people here do. ”

Yin Qianhe waved his hand again and again, "I can't do it, I used to learn English for many years, and I am still a scumbag." ”

"English?"

"Ah, it's the English language, have you heard of it?"

"Nope."

"I haven't heard of it, so forget it, it doesn't matter anyway, it's just a country far away from us, and it's also in the west."

"Why did the girl know this, and learn their language?"

Since he was asked this kind of question, Yin Qian had no choice but to start talking nonsense again.

"Hehehe, it's all from my father. You know, my dad is also a businessman, and he occasionally travels from north to south, so it's not surprising that he knows a foreigner. ”

"Oh, Ling Zun is really well-informed, and I hope to ask him for advice when I have the opportunity in the future."

"Don't, don't, don't ask him for advice." Yin Qianhe was afraid that what Qin Chong said was not polite, so he hurriedly stopped: "Since my family was defeated to this step, my father has avoided talking about business matters. You also know that a tree lives a skin, a person lives a face, and his old man also wants to maintain his face. ”

"It's a shame that's so." Qin Zhong sighed with pity.

Yin Qianhe quietly pinched a cold sweat, let's say something else.

"Alas, this place is really desolate, it is a big desert, no wonder the poem says 'there is no reason for people to go out of Yangguan in the west'. Such a barren place, most people don't want to come, where can you meet any old people. ”

Qin Zhong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "The girl explained this poem like this, but it has a different meaning. However, although the place is desolate, it feels closer to the real thing. For example, the sunset over there. ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the horizon. Yin Qianhe followed and looked to the west, and beyond the lonely city, there was already a bright place.

The sunset seemed to have just popped out of the furnace, red as a blazing fire. Under the setting sun, the endless desert is draped in a soft golden veil. The rolling sand dunes are far away from the horizon with gold edges, and the boundary between the sky and the earth is blurred in the smooth and smooth ridge line of the hills.

With the change of light and shadow, the monotonous yellow is interpreted as treacherous, majestic or passionate, desolate or magnificent, which is really indescribable. The vast desert and the quiet and dead sand sea are now hidden in a deeper mystery, which is fascinating.

Seeing the poor autumn in the desert and the sunset in the shadow of the sunset with your own eyes is far more shocking than the conjecture when reciting "The Desert Lonely Smoke, the Sunset on the Long River".

Yin Qianhe stood in the wind and sand, feeling as if he was about to be sucked into this boundless desert.

"It's so beautiful!" She sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"Yes, when I look at this desert firmament, I only feel that this body is like dust."

When they returned to the inn, Wu Xiaohu and the others had also returned from their errands, and everyone sat around the few tables in the inn and asked the boss to prepare dinner.

The accommodation conditions in this small inn are not very good, and the food is a little rough. However, in such a place, it is good to have food, so no one picks and chooses.

After a tiring day, everyone went back to their rooms early after dinner, and they had to reserve their strength for tomorrow's trip to the desert.

Since Yin Qianhe was the only girl in the caravan, she stayed in a room alone. At night, the weather was suddenly cold, and the bedding provided by the Gai Inn alone could not completely drive away the cold.

Yin Qianhe got up and found the thick cotton clothes that Yin Qianyi specially prepared for her before leaving Beijing and covered it on the quilt, so she fell asleep peacefully in a warm heart.

In her sleep, she dreamed that she walked day and night in the endless desert, but her body was tireless......

When I woke up the next day, I thought back to the dream of last night, and I felt like I had been adrift for a thousand years, and I was physically and mentally exhausted.

As soon as the day began to turn white, everyone had already arranged the salute and placed it on the camel's back, and the food ordered yesterday was also delivered. Everything is ready, and the team is back on its way.

As a guide, Uncle Yuan Jiu had already told everyone about the hardships in the desert in advance, so everyone was ready to fight, and they didn't dare to be slack or negligent.

The team led the camel all the way to the west, and when they arrived at Yangguan, they showed the customs clearance documents that had already been applied for in the government and passed smoothly.
