This car is a heavy truck, and the body itself is heavy enough, plus the people and pack horses on the car, it is even heavier, but on the road, I still feel a little fluttering.

Especially if you can't see the reference on the side of the road, you don't even know how far in front of you is a car.

The psychological pressure is also very great, and within half an hour of opening, Han Peacock felt that his eyes were sour, and he really didn't know how the previous few people insisted on driving for so long.

Fortunately, this car has a sub-fuel tank, which is fully filled, otherwise I would be really worried about running out of gas while driving.

"Boss, if you're tired, change me for a while!" Huang Shan saw such a bad weather outside and said.

"It's okay, I just took over for a while." Han Peacock didn't dare to look back, looked at the road in front of him and said with a smile.

"When we get to a place where there is a hotel, we will stay, or it will not be too difficult to leave." Wei Changqing said.

At this time, several people did not rest anymore, but chatted quietly with Han Peacock to soothe his tight nerves.

Looking at the bad weather outside, Han Peacock already regretted not getting a helicopter to come, if they did a helicopter into the mountain, maybe they would have arrived home by now.

But I thought that this time I was out to play, and if I flew around as an airplane, it would be boring, and now this situation is also an experience.

Just as Han Peacock was concentrating on driving forward, he heard a "bump" in front of him.

Under the conditioned reflex, Han Peacock stepped on the brakes, although it was not very fast, and the people in the car were also woken up by inertia.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Huang Shan asked nervously.

"I don't know, there was a ring in front just now, maybe something hit the car." Han Peacock shook his head and said.

It really startled him just now, and at first he thought he had hit something, but the body didn't have that kind of impact. Only then did he realize that the sound came from the car of the former people.

"Boss, sit in the car, I'll go outside to check on the situation." After Huang Shan finished speaking, he took out a pistol from his waist, checked it, and then pushed the door and got out of the car.

This time, Han Peacock did not object, and the situation outside is unknown. The weather was still so bad, and I didn't know if someone was attacking their convoy.

After all, Huang Shan has been a bodyguard for so long, and he has handled the current situation very well and his physical reaction.

Wei Changqing and the others were not idle, they took their respective weapons from their luggage to deal with emergencies, this area is not as stable as the inside, even if they encounter armed gangs, it is not surprising, so almost the entire expedition team has weapons.

After getting off the bus at Huangshan. First, he looked around vigilantly, then walked around the body, and only after he didn't find anything abnormal, did he make a safe gesture to everyone in the car.

Huang Shan held the pistol in one hand, focused his attention on the front, and walked up slowly, while Han Peacock and the others followed behind him, not approaching.

Waited a while. When Huangshan came back, the car in front started again. Because the wind and snow were heavier outside, through the car window, a little distance, they couldn't see clearly, and they didn't know what was going on in front of them.

"What's going on?" Han Peacock returned to the car and started the car. He asked.

"The wind and snow were too strong, and ice fell on the car in front just now, but fortunately no one was hurt, and it was estimated that it hit the roof of the car." Huangshan Road.

"Ice Ridge?" Han Peacock said suspiciously.

Huang Shan said: "It may also be the rocks on the mountain, anyway, that's what happened." The road ahead of us could not be walked, and now the convoy has turned around and found a nearby village to rest. ”

"No problem, right?" Han Peacock asked.

Huang Shan hesitated for a moment and said: "There should be no problem, there are so many of us together, no one should use their brains, besides, even if there is a problem, it is not a problem for us." ”

The car started and continued to drive forward. The road was already in poor condition and the speed of driving was not fast, but now it seems to have turned into a small road, which makes it even more difficult to walk.

"The place we are going to is a small mountain village at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, a very old mountain village." Gu Tong said.

Qian Mingyuan was puzzled at this time: "This should be the other side of the mountain, and we have now entered the Hotan area." ”

"A primitive village in the Kunlun Mountains? I have admired the primitive villages in the Kunlun Mountains for a long time! Han Peacock observed the surrounding situation and said.

At this time, Han Peacock knew that the village they were going to was located on the Kunlun Mountains in the south of Yutian County, and belonged to Ah and Qiang Townships, the mountainous towns of Hetian County.

This village is still in the depths of the Kunlun Mountains, which are farther and higher, so the snow-capped mountains not far away seem to be right in front of you.

Along countless hillsides, they snaked their way up endless "S"-shaped dirt roads, laboriously climbing deeper into the mountains.

Han Peacock lowered the window of the car and looked around, in addition to the mountains or mountains, the Kunlun peaks, a group of high and a group, a group of deep and deep groups, a group of stacked mountains, really layers of mountains.

After more than three hours of travel, the car stopped again.

In an open space, Han Peacock stopped the car, there were really a lot of people, and there were already cars parked around.

"The car can only be put here, and then you go forward, there is a small village, where the car can't drive in, and even if you drive in, you can't turn around." Huang Shan quickly inquired about the current situation.

It was already dawn, and they had managed to reach a river flowing out of the Kunlun Gorge at an altitude of 3,200 meters, and the small villages on both sides of the river were the destination of their trip.

At this time, the wind and snow were much smaller, so the situation in the village could be seen clearly in haze.

Looking at the village from afar, a river of white flowers flows from east to west in the mountains, and the river gracefully twists and draws an "S" shape in the valley, and then turns and rushes westward.

Huangshan inquired that a joint burial tomb more than 3,000 years ago had been dug up in this village, proving that there was a long history of human activities in this area.

Judging from the unearthed cultural relics and ethnic characteristics, in the past, there were mostly Tibetans and Serbs in this area, but today of course the Uygur nationality is still the main body.

This village is located in the heart of the Kunlun high mountains, adjacent to the west and Tibet, with a high altitude and a cold climate.

The top of Kunlun Mountain, covered with snow all year round, is the birthplace of the Hotan River and the Keriya River, and is also the birthplace of the Hetian jade vein deposit.

Today, there are 76 households and 276 people in the village, who mainly live by grazing cattle and digging jade.

Because the village is the only and best "mountain pass" for all jade miners to come down from Kunlun Mountain, successive governments, in order to consolidate border defense and monitor jade mining, have deliberately set up a site similar to the current "timber inspection station" or "contraband inspection station", which is equivalent to the current "customs", and the local people commonly call this inspection station "Liushui Yamen".

Therefore, this place is much safer than Han Peacock and others imagined, as long as it is a place controlled by the government, it will definitely be safe.

In the village, the castle-like, square, four-acre "flowing water yamen" is divided into two layers, all made of stone, the main body is solid, the appearance is unique.

Judging from the surrounding traces, this "flowing water yamen" has become a precious local historical site and tourist attraction, and has been protected and utilized.

Seeing the situation here, Han Peacock realized, it seems that Lao Hu and his son brought them here not to avoid the blizzard in a simple sense, I'm afraid they have other meanings.

In the past, Hetian jade in a narrow sense only referred to the jade from the Kunlun Mountain where the source of the Hetian River is located, commonly known as "authentic Hetian jade".

Although there are jade stones in the Kunlun Mountains, no matter in terms of quality, price and cultural influence, the Hetian jade from the source of the Hotan River has been highly recognized by the world for more than 1,000 years, and the jade produced in other sections of the Kunlun Mountains cannot be compared with the jade in the flowing water section of the Kunlun Mountains.

The Kunlun Mountains in the south of this village are recognized by the Hotan people as the birthplace of authentic Hetian jade, so this village is also known as the jade village.

From the map, the Kunlun Mountain in the Yushi Village section is the most precipitous, with an average altitude of more than 4,500 meters, after the snow mountain melts here, it forms two rivers in the east and west along the mountain, the ice and snow river in the east is called the Keriya River, and the ice and snow river in the west is called the Hotan River, which flows from the east and west wings of the Kunlun Mountain to the oasis under the mountain, and finally flows into the Taklamakan Desert and then naturally evaporates and dries.

Although the source of the Keriya River and the source of the Hotan River are located in the same Kunlun Snow Peak, the water volume of the western source is larger than that of the eastern source, and the impact is stronger.

Therefore, although the jade vein resources at the west source are small, they are all washed into the riverbed by the river, and washed to the Hotan Oasis with the fierce river, so the Hotan River only produces Hetian jade seeds.

The east source is not as large as the west source, and it is impossible to wash the huge continuous jade ore down the riverbed, but the jade veins here are widely distributed and the reserves are large, so there are more Hetian jade mountain materials here, and the famous large-scale jade mines in history are here.

To go up to Kunlun Mountain to find the source of Hetian jade, there is a road to flowing water since ancient times, so this village is also called Liushui Village.

Liushui Village is the only place in the entire Hotan area where jade mines are mined and mined, and there are four jade mines in history, namely: Alamas Aji Jade Mine, Serik Kuremu Jade Mine, Khan Sililak Jade Mine, and Qihan Kule Jade Mine.

Among them, the oldest jade mine in the Aramas Aji jade mine was mined in the Tang Dynasty at the earliest, and then intermittently until the Qing Dynasty, and a small amount of jade was produced, which is very rare in history.

Because the general jade ore is a narrow ore belt, the widest part is only a few tens of centimeters, and the jade source is generally exhausted after three years of mining, such as the Alamas Aji jade mine, the extremely long-lived "thousand-year-old white jade old man", not to mention in China, is also extremely rare in the world.

The Sezhike Kuremu Jade Mine is relatively close to the Alamas Aji Jade Mine, belonging to the same mountain system, and the distance between the two mines is about an hour's walk, but the Sezhike Kuremu Jade Mine is also 180 years old.

Khan Xilirak jade mine was mined in 1985, and in 1995 a batch of mountain materials were produced, with high quality, almost comparable to Hetian seed jade, which caused a sensation in the jade jewelry industry and was known as "Hetian-95 material".

The Khan Kule jade mine was only mined in 1980 and is the youngest jade mine. (To be continued......)
