Under the scorching June sun, a lonely figure staggered in the yellow sand, looking at its staggering appearance, people seemed to be able to lie down at any time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wei Shuo looked at the dazzling sun overhead, and felt that he was in the ten-day era in ancient legends, the moisture in his body seemed to be steaming dry, his throat and eyes were even more hot, and his boots were rustling on the yellow sand, which made people upset.

It has been two days since he was separated from his travel friend, and he got lost in the desert, and he has not replenished food and water for a long time, all of which indicate that he is about to come to the end of his life, and when he thinks of the current predicament, Wei Shuo can't help but regret this trip.

It's good to die, Suzhou and Hangzhou, where the mountains and rivers are beautiful, Yunnan where the four seasons are like spring, and Xi'an, where the historical sites are like clouds, don't go, but I want to see what the history and culture of the Western Regions are.

So I entangled a few history lovers, from the metropolis of high-rise buildings, to the Western Regions full of yellow sand.

At the beginning, I saw the majesty of the Turpan Flame Mountain and the magnificence of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, but it also made everyone linger and forget to return.

However, no one expected that a sudden wind and sand completely put Wei Shuo in a desperate situation.

Shake the kettle and suck the last drop into your mouth.

"Damn, if I don't meet anyone again, I'm afraid I'm really going to die here."

Wei Shuo quickened his pace and watched as the compass kept moving east—he had been walking in this direction from the moment he found out he was lost. Getting lost anywhere and deciding in one direction is better than scurrying around like a fly without a head.

If getting lost is just a mess for him, then the lack of mobile phone signal is the most desperate thing for Wei Shuo, otherwise he wouldn't be walking alone in the desert.

"Oops, is the phone broken?"

After seeing that there was no signal on the screen of the mobile phone for the umpteenth time, Wei Shuo threw the mobile phone in great irritability: "What a broken mobile phone, there is no signal at such a critical moment!" ”

At this time, Wei Shuo had no strength, and sat down on the sand, panting and his brain spinning rapidly. Although he knew that he had to quickly find a way out of the predicament in front of him, his mind was blank.

Just when he was sitting and waiting for death, suddenly there was a camel bell from a distance, the sound seemed to be nothing, at first Wei Shuo thought it was an illusion, but who knew that the camel bell was getting louder and louder.

Wei Shuo was excited at this time, he picked up the mobile phone on the ground, got up with a grunt, raised his eyes to follow the reputation, and sure enough, a team of camels slowly came from the west.

"Now Lao Tzu is finally saved!"

Seeing the hope of life, Wei Shuo's body was suddenly full of energy, and he jumped in place excitedly, waving his hands to greet the camel team in the distance. However, to his surprise, the camel caravan that had been moving forward stopped, and it was a long time before a man rode towards him on a camel.

It wasn't until someone came to him that Wei Shuo saw clearly that the other party was dressed in ancient clothes, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that he was lucky to meet a certain crew, so he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Hey, master, which crew are you from? What drama are you filming? I got lost and almost died in the desert, thanks to meeting you! Da En is not grateful, when I return to the capital, I will definitely post this matter on Weibo and advertise it to your crew. ”

The visitor stared at Wei Shuo coldly, ignoring his overtures, just constantly looking him up and down.

Wei Shuo was a little annoyed by the other party's staring, frowned and said for a moment: "What do you mean, buddy, this is?" Do you want a tip? Well, as long as you can take me out of this hellish place, I will not do you any good. Although there is nothing to repay at the moment, when we get to the city, there are so many that we don't have them, and we can still give seven or eight thousand. ”

“……##@@##……”

Just when Wei Shuo's patience was about to run out, the person who came suddenly said a long paragraph, which was neither the local language, Mandarin, nor the foreign language commonly used in the world, anyway, he didn't understand a word.

"Master, can you speak Mandarin? Is English OK too? If you don't know how to do it, can you find someone who understands Chinese? ”

Maybe it was because he understood Wei Shuo's words, or because of other reasons, in short, the person who came ignored Wei Shuo's repeated begging, and suddenly turned around and left.

I saw that the visitor walked back to the middle of the group again, reporting something to one of the seemingly leading figures.

Because the distance was too far, Wei Shuo couldn't hear what the other party was talking about at all, so he could only wait anxiously in place.

After about ten minutes, five horsemen rushed out of the camel caravan again, one of whom was the leader of the other party, and the other four looked like guards, for they had long knives in their hands.

Seeing this situation, Wei Shuo's heart tightened, and he muttered to himself: Shouldn't you meet the gangsters?! I shouldn't have asked them for help if I knew this, but now I am afraid that my life is in danger if I don't get it right.

At the moment, even if Wei Shuo wants to escape, he has no chance, not to mention that he can't run on four legs anyway with just two legs, the key is that he is already exhausted at this moment, even if he wants to run, he has no strength.

Five camels lined up ten paces away from Wei Shuo, each with a veil on their faces, so that Wei Shuo couldn't see the other person's true face at all.

After a while, seeing that the other party was silent, Wei Shuo said boldly: "Why don't we go our own way?" Just as if nothing had happened? How is it? Anyway, I'm alone, and I'm stuck in the desert, and I'm running out of food and water, and I'm going to die of thirst in a short time, and you don't have to worry about any consequences. ”

Just when Wei Shuo was trying to persuade the other party, the leader wearing the veil suddenly opened his lips, and a charming voice reached Wei Shuo's ears through the veil.

"Who are you?"

"Huh?! What the? What did you just say? ”

"Who are you? Why here? ”

"This eldest sister, my name is Wei Shuo, I am from the capital, and I have traveled here."

Knowing from the voice that the other party was led by a woman, Wei Shuo somehow suddenly put his mind at ease, and he didn't notice that the way the other party spoke was very different from that of modern people, he was like a chatter, babbling about his past experience.

“…… In short, that's probably what it looks like, I accidentally got lost, and I hope the eldest sister can help. ”

Yin E rode on a camel, keenly observing the man in strange clothes opposite, listening to where the other party was talking nonsense.

Although the man looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, he was well-spoken, down-to-earth and generous, and was obviously well-educated.

But Yin E herself was born in a big family, and later married Ma Yuanzheng of the Fufeng Shi Ma family as his wife. However, unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, her husband Ma Yuanzheng unfortunately passed away, but fortunately, she was smart and intelligent, quick-witted, and resourceful since she was a child, and she took the house instead of her husband.

This time, she took advantage of Lu Guang's victory over the countries of the Western Regions to personally lead a caravan to trade in the Western Regions, but she didn't expect to meet Wei Shuo on the return trip.

It's just that what makes Yin E feel strange is that the other party is from a big family, how could he fall into the desert alone. You must know that when the children of a high-ranking family travel, they must have accompanying subordinates and slaves, who are responsible for guarding and taking care of food and daily life.

Could it be true as the other party said, but accidentally 'lost' the way?

However, even if Yin E failed to find out Wei Shuo's bottom in detail, it would be against her principles of life not to save her when she saw death, so after weighing it, she decided to bring the other party with her.

“yes！ Thank you for saving your life! Dare to ask what is the name of the eldest sister? When I return to the city in the future, I must repay you well, and I will definitely beat the gong and drum to send you a deputy pennant! ”

Yin E glanced at Wei Shuo, who was full of excitement, and refused: "The concubine is not greedy for anything to save people, but she can't bear to sit back and watch her compatriots die in vain." As for the name? It's inconvenient to tell outsiders, you should call the concubine Mrs. Yin. ”

"Oh, eldest sister, you are really a good person, there are fewer and fewer good people like you in society who don't ask for anything in return!"

Hearing that the other party did not ask for anything in return, Wei Shuo suddenly felt respectful, and all the unhappiness just now was left behind, and the nice words kept coming out of his mouth as if he didn't want money.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense! Hurry up, there is still a way to go from here to Gaochang City! Yin E said impatiently.

"What? Wait a minute? Gaochang City? What is Gaochang City? Shouldn't it be Turpan? ”

"Turpan? Where is Turpan? As for Gaochang City? It was an important pass for the Western Regions to enter Liangzhou, and only when it reached Gaochang could it be regarded as entering the territory of Qin. ”

After listening to Mrs. Yin's explanation, Wei Shuo was completely dumbfounded, and it was not until this moment that he came back to his senses, not knowing that he was not lost, but directly traveled to ancient times.

But what era is this Qin State? It was definitely not the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because at that time, the Western Regions were not connected to the Central Plains, and it was impossible for Qin merchants to trade in the Western Regions.
