After arriving at Baiqugou, I wanted to march overnight, and I didn't want to rest here, after all, if I arrived a minute earlier, the little wolf would have a minute less risk.

But the guide and the old prostitute don't do this, the guide said, driving in the desert at night, is tantamount to self-defeating, just by the headlights can not see the terrain in the desert at all, the mistake into the pit is small, and the loss of some property and vehicles, but the disorientation is big, and it is not good to go around in the desert for a few days, wouldn't it be more delaying time.

In fact, what really forced me to give up the idea of setting off overnight was not the words of the guide, but the old prostitute who said that he could not find the road at night, and he only remembered a few important markers along the way, so he was afraid that he would not be able to see the wrong way at night.

As soon as I heard the old prostitute say this, I didn't insist, after all, the next road still depends on the memory of the old prostitute.

A simple night of camping in Baiqugou seemed simple, but it was actually very difficult, at least for me, falling asleep became a big problem. We didn't camp on the sand because the temperature was low and there was a cold wind.

Although the camp was set up on a low-lying riverbed, we could still feel the cold wind in the desert, we picked up some dead poplar branches around us, and built a few fires, but we could only solve the cold on one side, facing the fire we had chills on our backs, our backs were facing the fire, and our predecessors couldn't stand it, and finally everyone simply stopped baking the fire, and got into their sleeping bags one by one.

The night here is so silent that there is no sound except for the faint sound of the cold wind. We didn't arrange a vigil, and there was no need to do so, after all, we were the only ones in the entire desert who spent the night here, not to mention meeting people, but even if we wanted to meet a ghost.

It was my first time spending the night in the desert, and I guess it was because I didn't get used to it, and I lay in my sleeping bag until late at night and didn't fall asleep.

Apparently the guide was well adapted to the desert climate, and when he saw that I was not asleep, he chatted with me for a while. It also gave me a better understanding of the desert and poplar.

It turns out that the poplar we used to make a fire is a sacred plant in the desert.

The guide said that Populus euphratica is a magical tree whose growth is always closely linked to the phoenix and blood. At the same time, Populus euphratica is also a variable tree species, green in spring and summer, yellow in late autumn, and red in winter.

The Uyghur language calls Populus euphratica Tokrak, which means "the most beautiful tree". Because it has an amazing ability to resist drought, wind and sand, and salt and alkali, and can survive and reproduce in the desert tenaciously, it is praised as the "Desert Hero Tree".

People praise the great vitality of Populus euphratica as "three thousand years", that is, living for a thousand years without dying, after death for a thousand years, and after a thousand years of immortality. Throughout the ages, Populus euphratica has become a spirit and has been worshipped......

After chatting with the guide for a while, I fell asleep, and I don't know how long it took for me to fall asleep.

When I woke up, the sun had already come out, and after breakfast, we set off again.

Before leaving, I paid the commission for the guide and the truck according to the original agreement, and then the two guides drove their own cars back to Lop Nur, leaving only one guide who drove the truck and continued to follow us until we reached the place.

Starting from Baiqugou, she no longer needs the guidance of a guide, and the old prostitute has started the work of a guide. He and I sat in the lead car and led the way, and the convoy behind us followed.

After driving a few hundred meters on the sand, the convoy circled to the riverbed of Baiqugou and then sped along the riverbed. The dry riverbed, flat and hard, forms a natural road on which off-road vehicles drive as if they were on a high speed.

The old prostitute sù drove the guy, rest assured that there was no break in this riverbed, he walked a few days ago, so there was no need to think about the speed limit.

The guy who drove the car also really listened to the old prostitute's words, stepped on the accelerator, and then looked at the speedometer, a hundred and dozens of miles. As soon as our car picked up speed in front, the team behind us started to pick up speed, and it was like a car race.

I glanced back, and although the convoy had picked up speed, they were still keeping their distance so that they wouldn't brake hard and cause a rear-end collision.

The convoy ran along the riverbed for more than two hours, and the old prostitute told the driver to slow down, and drove forward for a few more minutes, until he reached a place where he could see the sand dunes in the distance, and the old prostitute stopped the car and waited for the car behind, saying that he could not go along the riverbed here, but had to go to the sand dunes.

The convoy was assembled here for a short time, and the off-road vehicles were okay and fast, but the trucks pulling things behind were not as fast as off-road, and they waited for the trucks for a while before heading towards the sand dunes.

As soon as the buggy drove on the sand, I felt a noticeable drop in speed, and the sand here was slightly soft, not as hard as it was when I first entered the desert.

Walking in this kind of sand, we have to be more careful, once the car falls into the sand pit, it is difficult to get out, so the car behind is following our ruts, and we dare not find a new road horizontally.

In fact, the road guided by the old prostitute also has no ruts, but the old prostitute is sure that it must be the place where they walked last time, although the ruts have been buried by the wind and sand, but he still remembers the surrounding landforms along the way.

When I came, the guide also introduced some characteristics of the deep desert to me, saying that even in the absence of wind and sand, the ruts will be buried less than two hours after they are formed, so it is impossible to see the ruts left by predecessors in the depths of the desert, unless they have just passed.

The journey was quite smooth, although the speed was a little slower, but I didn't encounter a small wind and sand, but when I was in a lot of Tongguò, I felt a little scared.

It is a dangerous passage in the desert, which can also be said to be a devil's passage. The landscape is all tall sand dunes, and only one place is accessible by car. The only place where guò can be accessed is between two sand dunes that are more than 20 meters high.

The two dunes are not very long, only about 200 meters apart, but they are very steep and look a bit of a trick. The two dunes seemed to have been split by a sharp axe, and the gap where we were driving was less than 6 meters wide.

When the buggy passed through Guò, I didn't feel scared, but was attracted by the sight of the sky above me. But when the car drove out, I was a little scared, after all, the left and right sides of this passage were not stone mountains, but sand.

You must know that the sand in the desert is not stable, not to mention that this is the second largest mobile desert in the world, which may change at any time, if the sand on it collapses, you have to be buried alive in it, and you can't run out if you want to.

I thought to myself, when I come back, I can't go here anymore, it's best to take a detour, it's too dangerous here, it's okay if nothing happens, if something happens, it's a big deal, and I'm going to die.

The car drove forward for a while before entering a withered poplar forest. The so-called forests in the desert are not the dense forests we usually see, they are all scattered dead trees, but there are many such dead trees in this area, so they are called forests.

After driving for more than an hour along the poplar forest, the old prostitute stopped the car, then got out of the car alone and ran to a slightly higher sand dune to look around.

As soon as I saw the old prostitute's posture, I had a premonition that it was not good, so I hurriedly ran over and asked the old prostitute, "What's wrong?" Can't find your way? ”

The old prostitute scratched her head, did not answer me immediately, but still looked around, and after a while said, "My day, the direction is wrong." Then he looked at me, pointed in the other direction with his hand, and said, "Go that way." ”

After saying that, the old prostitute hurriedly ran back, I looked in the direction he pointed, I didn't see anything special over there, it felt the same as the topography here, I really don't know how the old prostitute is to distinguish the direction.

After returning to the car, we started to walk back along the poplar forest, and waited until the car drove out of the poplar forest, and then the old prostitute smiled and muttered: "That's right, it's about two hours in another time, and it's almost there." ”

Although it was already noon under the scorching sun, I was still very excited when I heard the old prostitute say that there were still about two hours to arrive.

As the old prostitute said, two hours later, we arrived at our destination and saw their camp and two SUVs.

Their camp was set up on a sand dune, and when I looked around, it was empty, and it seemed that everyone had gone down.

Standing on this sand dune, you can clearly see that there are two round sun tombs at a distance of 100 meters, one of which is a sun tomb with iron frames and ropes.

Long Jiu arranged for someone to unload all the things on the truck, and then gave the guide some more money to drive back by himself.

Our camp hasn't been set up yet, and the old prostitute can't wait to go down. I divided everyone into two groups, one group followed me and the old prostitute, and chose three of the guys in the company, plus Madahar, and then a few ruffians with them, and I decided to bring Scar with me. The rest of the people, that is, the other group of people, followed Long Jiu and the ruffians to stay on it as a reserve.

The reason why I thought about leaving Long Jiu and the ruffian on it was to be able to restrain these people who stayed on it, I wanted to take the ruffian down, but after thinking about it carefully, I felt that it was more reliable to leave him on it. After all, if something happens to us below, someone above must be able to control these brothers of his, if we can't control them, I believe that these people will not risk coming down to save us, so leave Long Jiu to manage a few company guys, and leave the riffraff to manage his people.

Long Jiu was responsible for distributing equipment and food, and each person who went down was given a 95 micro punch, the advantage of this gun was that it was small and portable, and the rate of fire was fast. For the people in the company, this kind of hard guy is a must-have, but for those who are ruffians, they are not common to this kind of thing, one by one when they see 95 micro chong, they are like a single person seeing a widow, they are eager to try, eager to take it and shoot a few shots.

After distributing the equipment, I wanted to explain a few words to the people who went down, after all, the ruffians had never gone down, so I was always a little uneasy. But before I could speak, the old prostitute hurried towards the Sun Tomb, and before we could reach the Sun Tomb, the old prostitute had already taken the lead in going down.

I've never seen an old prostitute like this, and I can't help but feel even more uneasy. The way the old prostitute hurried seemed to indicate that he was very anxious, but in the whole process he and I recounted, it did not seem that he was in a hurry. I'm starting to wonder if he's hiding something from me?

I wanted to ask him when I went down, but as soon as everyone went down to the ancient city, the old prostitute became even more anxious, and she didn't communicate with everyone at all, so she walked directly along the passage in the ancient city.
