Wang Zhilian's "Liangzhou Ci": "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. ”

The tragic and desolate mood is a true portrayal of this ancient fortress.

Yumen Pass, commonly known as Xiaofangpan City, is located 90 kilometers northwest of Dunhuang City, Gansu Province.

According to legend, the beautiful jade of Hetian in the Western Regions in the Western Han Dynasty entered the Central Plains through this pass, so it was named. Yumen Pass is also called "Yuguan" in the province.

Land Rover drives along National Highway 215, and along the way, there is already an endless scenery of the Gobi, and occasionally you can see the ethereal mirage in the distance outside the car window, and the sand plants in the Gobi.

The golden desert, green grass, and blue sky make up a vast and magnificent magical picture.

Passing through Yumen Pass, the road sign on the national highway directly marked the name of this place.

Zhu Beichen couldn't help but remember: Weicheng is light and dusty, and the guest house is green and willow-colored. Persuade you to have a glass of wine, and there is no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west.

This poem resounded through the ages, the prosperity of the ancient silk road, the geography and landform of Yumen Pass, and the historical and cultural scenes are presented in my mind.

He never imagined that one day he would visit this ancient pass and feel the desolation of the desert.

On February 13, west of Yumen Pass, the horse was lost.

Zhu Beichen began to be a little overwhelmed by the bumps along the way, if it weren't for the Land Rover, an off-road vehicle with strong seismic performance, he would probably have passed out.

Ma Mitu is located in the west of Yumen Pass in Gansu Province, also known as "Ma Mi Rabbit", and the caravan from the border in Khotan to the Central Plains has to pass through this place.

The terrain is complex, with swamps, ravines, forests and weeds.

Whenever the caravan transporting jade catches up with the hot weather and hits the road, in order to avoid heat stroke for people and animals during the day, they always like to rush in the cool at night.

Therefore, whenever the horse team walks here, it is always dark, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction, and even the old horses who often go back and forth here will be dizzy and difficult to understand the way, which is how the name "horse lost" is called.

Land Rover braked suddenly, and the huge inertia brake dragged the car's tires against the ground and continued to slide forward for a long distance.

Zhu Beichen's head was blank, dizziness hit, and he began to vomit as soon as he opened the car door.

Zhang Chu asked, "What's the matter, why did you suddenly stop." "He thought he had hit something again in broad daylight.

The driver said: "There is a problem with the navigator and now it cannot be located. ”

The leading man frowned, this is the phenomenon that he is most afraid of on the vast Gobi.

What's more, the place where they are staying now is the famous "Horse Lost" site in history.

There is a sign erected next to the road, which reads "The Silk Road Ancient Stagecoach is Lost".

Their group had already gotten off the national highway, and the four walls were the vast Gobi, and they couldn't distinguish the direction.

The navigator is powered on normally, but the original positioning signs began to be confused, and the position was seriously elegant, and now it is located in a sea area.

Zhu Beichen vomited almost, and then Zhang Chu handed over a bottle of mineral water: "Rinse your mouth first, this little road is like this, like a girl." ”

Zhu Beichen rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, if you hadn't taken me to this place where birds don't, would I have suffered?

It was around 4 p.m., when the sun was high and the sun was shining.

The leader said, "Try using a compass, set a position, and keep heading west." ”

Then the driver returned to the car, pulled out a compass, and adjusted it.

His face was gloomy, and he said, "No, the compass is also out of order, and I can't point to the direction." ”

The leading man looked around at the four of them, thought for a moment, and rolled up the sleeves of his suit, revealing the watch in hand.

The current time is 4 p.m., divide by 2 by this cardinal number, and align the resulting quotient with the position of the sun, and the direction corresponding to 12 o'clock on the dial is due north.

He quickly pointed in a direction and said, "Let's go there." ”

The man's experience in survival in the wild, and his way of identifying the direction and ability made Zhu Beichen astonished, he had never heard of this method of calculating directions.

The four of them lifted the dust off their bodies and returned to the Land Rover.

Zhu Beichen sneered and said, "I hope you go out before dark, otherwise you will no longer be able to discern the direction." ”

Zhang Chu glanced at him coldly and said, "Oh." Then a punch came, Zhu Beichen couldn't dodge, and he was hit alive, and his teeth were shaking in pain.

The winter days are shortened, and the clock is just pointing to five o'clock, when the sun has set over the horizon and the curtain is falling.

Land Rover is still on the road, and navigation equipment continues to strike.

The lonely figure of the wild goose flew by in the sky, casting huge shadows on the ground.

The leader asked, "How is it, we haven't gone out yet?" ”

The driver replied: "It's off track, now it's sunset, our set is useless, there is only half of the gasoline left in the tank, and we can't mess around anymore." ”

Zhang Chu said: "Only when the day dawns and the sunrise is enough time for us to go out." ”

At this time, the off-road vehicle that July was riding also entered the range of the horse's lost path, and under the same black curtain, there was silence all around.

Ning Yun said: "We have been following behind my uncle's car, why are they all gone?" ”

July shook her head and said worriedly, "I don't know, this place feels weird to me. ”

The driver braked in gear and parked in the wilderness.

The two wealthy employers in the back seat paid him a considerable amount of money to hire him in a short period of time.

The driver said: "This place is called Horse Lost, and it is easy for people to get lost when they walk in it, and it is estimated that the car in front of you is the same." ”

He looked up at the night, a tired face written on his face, and his wrinkled facial lines showed helplessness.

Ning Yun heard the other party's dissatisfied tone, and said, "What, I don't want to, I want to retreat?" ”

July took out a stack of brand-new hundred-yuan bills from his small backpack and handed them over, and comforted him softly: "Uncle, I have to trouble you a lot these days, we can give you more money, right?" ”

The middle-aged man coughed dryly, stretched out his hand to take the banknote with an embarrassed expression, and said: "I don't mean anything else, this horse has come in by getting lost, and it will not be easy to get out for a while, you two girls will sleep in the car for a night, and I will go get you a blanket." ”

Ning Yun said: "This old man really has an eye for money, why didn't he say to bring us blankets along the way, and when he saw the money, he coaxed us like wives." ”

July waved his hand and motioned for Ning Yun to stop talking. She took out a jade pendant and held it in the palm of her hand, a faint glimmer of light crystal through, it was the jade pendant of the Great Witch.

"I feel the breath of Dongyuan, Beichen they should be nearby, but we didn't see them. July said. ”
