Entering Jiayuguan in Sanjiuli, although no snowflakes have fallen in the sky. However, the natural battlefield on the Gobi Desert has been frozen hard. It's been a damp haze for a long time!

gone, the usual war drums rumbled, flags were spread, swords and halberds were clanging, and there was a sound of killing. Only the two walls looked at each other, and there were man-high blockhouses on either side of the gate. In the hole of each bunker, there are two pairs of eyes that are open like bull's eyes without blinking. Their masters, at this moment, are holding their crossbows tightly with their arrows wound. Keep an eye out for any hostility on the other side!

On the two city walls facing each other from afar, the cold wind unscrupulously attacked the "heavily armed" patrols of both the enemy and us. Although, the exposed cheeks, nose, and lips felt as if they had been stimulated by a sword. However, with the mission of "defending the homeland and defending the country", they must hold high their spears and shields. Continue to walk in a neat and orderly march with their heads held high, and no one wants the enemy on the opposite side to see their embarrassed appearance!

As a result, the cold air was filled with only two monotonous "creaks, creaks" sounds. It can be said that Jiayuguan is a rare cleaner in a year!

Under the cliffs opposite the Gobi Desert, the normally clear and transparent East Lake has been covered with thick ice. All the maple leaves on the bank slope have fallen away, and they have fallen on the ice like a thin blanket of red and fire. It's as if you want to protect the aquatic animals and plants under the ice!

The creepers, who covered the mouth of the cave, were only slightly less green than usual under the cold predation. It still looks lush and overwhelming!

Behind the two huge stones at the entrance of the cave, four men and four women and eight children did not dare to lie on the stones. The childish eyes looked at the East Lake diagonally opposite, wondering where the beauty of nature came from.

Of course, there is still a common doubt in the immature hearts: why hasn't the little green grandmother who has been gone for a long time come back yet?

Behind these eight children, their respective fathers and mothers stood silently. A group of men and women in their twenties, all eyes on their respective children. As long as any child makes the slightest sound without paying attention, he will be dragged to the innermost part of the cave by the person who is the father's mother!

At the stone table behind the group of older children, Yu Xiaolan, who was sitting precariously, kept pinching the fingers of her other hand repeatedly. From time to time, he gently rubbed his dry eyes and looked at the entrance of the cave, shook his head and sighed and muttered to himself: Sister Xiaoqing has been gone for some days, and she has not turned back yet. She went to the court in the eastern suburbs of her hometown to see off her father-in-law and Qilin for the last time, but she was recognized by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and she had already had an accident!

At this moment, several large trees outside the cave have long since lost their once green leaves. She can no longer arrange for the two men to go up the tree to "sentry", by the way, see if Sister Xiaoqing appears on the wide dirt road at the foot of the mountain?

In the depths of winter, it was freezing and I couldn't do anything every day. I sat at the stone table all day in a state of confusion, pinching the fingers of my other hand over and over again. While listening carefully to the movements of the eight children at the entrance of the cave, he whispered the same concerns. The eyes that frequently look at the entrance of the cave are already dry, and a heart is always beating wildly. She felt so depressed that she was about to suffocate!
