Chapter 448 Do you like Master?
"The time is now 5 o'clock in the afternoon, and I have arrived at the starting point of the Hexi Corridor - Wushaoling.

Wushaoling is called Haxiang Nie'a in Tibetan, which means Monk Ridge. It is located in the middle of Tianzhu County.

It is the natural boundary between the Longzhong Plateau and the Hexi Corridor, and is also the transition line from semi-arid to arid areas.

Wushaoling Mountains borders Maya Snow Mountain to the south and Gulang Mountain Gorge to the west. In the south of the mountain there is the surging Jinqiang River and the Zhuoxi Xiulong Grassland with rich water and grass. In the north of the mountain there is Anyuan Village, which is known as the "Golden Basin for Fish Farming" by the locals. basin.

Wushaoling is about 17 kilometers long from east to west and 10 kilometers wide from north to south. The main peak is 3562 meters above sea level, and the average annual temperature is -2.2°C.

There is a description of Wushaoling in the chronicles that "it snows in midsummer and the cold air bites the bones", which shows how low the temperature here is.

Since ancient times, Wushaoling has been the gateway and throat of the Hexi Corridor. It is an important strategic location on the ancient Silk Road and a military location. Its geographical location is very important.

The current Lanzhou-Xinjiang Railway, Gansu-Xinjiang Highway, and National Highway 312 all pass through Wushaoling Mountains.

I put my bike here first, then climbed to the top of Wushaoling to see the situation. Qin Yuan said as he ran towards the top of the mountain.

Because it was late, he did not take Erha and Bomber with him, but asked them to stay at the foot of the mountain.

"Wuliangzhi" records: "The Fan people live close to the mountains and do not plant grains, but only engage in animal husbandry." There was a prosperous period when "cattle and sheep blocked the road".

Historically, business travelers and envoys traveling from east to west were required to submit documents for verification here, which served as a security barrier for the inland and Hexi areas.

The original Han Xiangzi Temple on the ridge was built around the Ming Dynasty. The incense was very popular. Passersby stopped to worship and asked for fortune-telling to pray for a safe journey.

But because he has a physical fitness value of 80 points, he doesn't feel at all when climbing mountains, as if he were walking on flat ground.

Looking to the west, Gulang Gorge has thousands of cliffs, natural passes, hanging rocks and dangerous rocks, a thin line of sky, and Wushao Ridge is surrounded by picturesque mountains and rivers, and the scenery is wonderful.

There were many beacons along the Great Wall, many of them collapsed, and now only one remains.

The ancient city of Anmen was built according to the terrain on the edge of the mountain. It is 130 meters long from east to west and 100 meters wide from north to south. The city gate faces south. It was built in the Han Dynasty.

Wushaoling is the intersection of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau, with more sand and gravel, less soil, and even less loess.

In just ten minutes, he easily climbed to the top of the mountain. Looking from a distance, Wushaoling looked like a giant dragon.

Tianzhu White Yak and Alpine Fine-wool Sheep are famous all over the country.

The existing remaining wall has become a two-meter-high earthen ridge. Anmen Ancient City is close to the Great Wall of Han Dynasty, and across the river to the west is Jinqiangyi.

The clear and rapid Jinqiang River is like a white hada, floating out of the mountain roots, rolling eastward, turning south, and finally merges into the Yellow River.

Tianzhu Grassland is still one of the main pastoral areas in GS Province, and the Chakou Yima produced by it is one of the famous horses in the country;

Looking at such beautiful scenery, Qin Yuan couldn't help but admire: "The mountains and rivers are magnificent and beautiful. This scenery is simply amazing."

Qin Yuan, who was not carrying Erha, increased his running speed to the extreme. Others were panting from the exhaustion of climbing the mountain.

Most of the loess needed to build the Great Wall was transported from other places. By the Ming Dynasty, the Han Great Wall had collapsed, and the Ming court once again built a new Great Wall.

General Huo Qubing used his sword and horse to break through the Wushaoling Pass and attack the Xiongnu. The Wushaoling Great Wall is a witness to this history.

Standing under the ancient beacon, the new wind is hunting, indicating the vicissitudes of life. Listen carefully where the wind blows, and the golden horse is like an iron horse in your ears.

The "Book of Han" written by Ban Gu records: "The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the water and grass are suitable for livestock raising, so the livestock in Liangzhou are the most abundant in the world."

“Historically, Zhang Qian of the Western Han Dynasty was on his mission to the Western Regions, and Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty went to the West to seek scriptures, both of which passed through Wushaoling.

Although there is no Han Xiangzi Temple here, it is still very beautiful to stand on the ridge and look at the surrounding scenery.

However, it was destroyed in 1958, and now there is no Han Xiangzi Temple.

The head is west and the tail is east, high in the west and low in the east, covered with clouds and fog, winding and twisting.

Let’s go to the Ancient Great Wall first. General Huo Qubing led his army out of Longxi, attacked the Xiongnu, captured Hexi, and incorporated Hexi into the territory of the Western Han Dynasty.

Because Tianzhu has a unique prairie, animal husbandry has been quite developed since ancient times.

In "Historical Records" written by Sima Qian, it was mentioned for the first time that in the ancient Xirong land, "animal husbandry was the most important thing in the world".

The Great Wall here is the section with the highest altitude among the Great Wall, so the natural environment is extremely harsh.

Then the ancient city of Anyuan is located in the north of Wushaoling, now called Anyuan Town. Anyuan Fort is also called Daban Fort, which is the boundary between Liangzhou and Zhuanglang.

At that time, a military fort was set up, relying on the Great Wall and echoing Anmen City through beacon towers to prevent invasion.

Qin Yuan took out the drone as he spoke, and began to explain while taking pictures of the bird's eye view.

Now looking in the direction I pointed, there are two ancient cities there, Anyuan in the north of Lingbei and Anmen in the south of Lingnan.

In the Han Dynasty, the Qiang people lived outside the Great Wall in this area. The city set up here was a residence for the troops guarding the Great Wall.

Qin Yuan looked towards the Maya Snow Mountain in the south, and saw that the snow-capped mountains were steep and mysterious, with jade and silver teeth reaching straight into the sky.

Coupled with the backward production tools and other conditions at that time, it can be seen how difficult it was to build the Great Wall on Wushaoling.

Although it is a rammed earth wall that has weathered and collapsed, the ruins left behind still reveal the grandeur of the old days.

Looking into the distance, you can see the vast grassland scenery with vast sky and wild fields, and the lush aquatic plants also provide superior conditions for animal husbandry production.

To the north, Leigong Mountain towers into the clouds, and Niutou Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist. The two mountains stand side by side, each showing its majesty.

There are three places where the Great Wall of Han Dynasty can be seen in Tianzhu. They are all built with rammed earth slabs. After thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, most of them have become earth ridges.

After that, he built the Great Wall of Han Dynasty to the west of Lingju, crossing the Wushaoling Mountains through the Zhuanglang River Valley.

In addition to the grassland, Wushaoling also has several good attractions, such as the Ancient Great Wall and the Ancient City of Anmen, both of which are worth visiting.

The Great Wall ruins we see now were built during the Ming Dynasty, so this is also a section of the Ming Great Wall.

These two ancient cities were designed to provide protection for the Silk Road, so they were very important.

However, my time is limited today, so I won’t go to the ancient city. I will just find a place to camp at the foot of the mountain later.

I have to say, the wind on this mountain range is really strong, it blew me so hard that I almost couldn’t breathe.

It’s no wonder that the average temperature here is minus 2 degrees. The wind alone is enough to freeze someone to death. It’s better to get down quickly! "

Qin Yuan looked at the time, and then hurried along the plank road towards the foot of the mountain.

After climbing up and strolling around for a while, it was already past 6 o'clock before he knew it, and the sky was getting dark. He had to hurry up and find a place to camp.

Ten minutes later, he successfully returned to the place where he kept his bicycle, only to see the bomber standing on Erha's back.

Erha, on the other hand, rested very quietly next to the bicycle, and the dog and the bird got along very harmoniously.

As a husky, Erha is actually very energetic, but Qin Yuan asked Erha to follow the car today.

So it consumes a lot of energy, otherwise it wouldn't lie down and rest so obediently!

"Let's go, let's find a place to camp with less wind. It's getting late, and it's time to have a good rest."

As Qin Yuan spoke, he checked the satellite map with his mobile phone. Not long after, he saw several things that looked like abandoned houses on the map.

"Come on, let's ride forward and take a look. I seem to have seen an abandoned house on the satellite map. I don't know if it's true."

As Qin Yuan spoke, he continued to ride forward. After a while, he actually saw the village in front of him.

But what disappointed him was that these villages were all inhabited by people, and he didn't want to disturb others.

So after taking a look, he continued riding for several kilometers, and then he discovered several cave dwellings in a remote abandoned village. Looking at the cave dwelling in front of him, Qin Yuan couldn't help but show excitement on his face. As a southerner, he had never lived in a cave dwelling before!
When he was thinking this, he immediately parked the car at the entrance of the cave dwelling, and then stepped forward to investigate.

To his surprise, the door of the cave was not locked. He pushed the door lightly and the room opened.

"Wow, I was lucky today. I found an abandoned cave dwelling. The cave dwelling was quite clean, with only a little dust.

I'll go in and tidy up the inside a little bit, and I'll be living here today. The cave dwelling is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it should be very comfortable to live in. "

As Qin Yuan spoke, he took out the tripod and set it up in the cave. Then he set up the action camera.

After doing this, he turned on the camping light, and the dark cave suddenly became very bright.

“The interior of the cave dwelling is quite large, almost 30 square meters, with an earthen kang at the door and some dilapidated wooden furniture inside.

Judging from the amount of dust on it, this cave dwelling must have been abandoned for several years, so I was lucky today.

Don't be afraid of dust, just wipe it and it will be fine. But I haven't seen this Tukang for a long time. Since I left Northeast China, I have never seen Tukang again.

I didn't expect to see Tukang again in Gansu today. It's really interesting.

The Tukang here is different from the Tukang in the northeast. The location of the Tukang is right at the door. The reason for this is because the burning point is right at the door.

But there is no need to burn the kang in this weather. I will just wipe the kang clean later, and then I can lay a layer of mat on it and sleep.

This saves you from setting up a tent. Okay, enough nonsense, let’s get to work! "

Qin Yuan took out a rag from the bicycle bag and started cleaning.

There is a lot of dust in the northwest region, so Qin Yuan sprayed a little water before cleaning to reduce dust flying.

Because he only slept for one night, he didn't clean everything. Instead, he wiped the table and the earthen kang, and then swept the floor a little.

But even so, Qin Yuan spent almost half an hour. After doing good hygiene, he sat on the kang and rested for a while.

"It's already 7 o'clock in the evening, it's time to cook." Qin Yuan said as he took the cook out of the bag.

“The water I brought today was limited, so I couldn’t make anything delicious, so I just fried a few hand pancakes and ate them.

I bought a few bags of hand cakes in the supermarket in the county before. I just fry them and eat them. This saves a lot of time.

The only drawback is that it is too oily and can easily cause you to get angry after eating it, but at this time, you don’t have to worry about whether you get angry or not. "

As Qin Yuan spoke, he heated up the oil in a pot, and then put the bagged hand cakes he bought into the pot one by one to fry.

In addition to the hand cakes, he also fried a few sausages so that they would taste better when eaten together.

In just a few minutes, he prepared dinner at a speed that could not be compared to making serious meals.

"Okay, let's eat and eat. Come on, Erha and Bomber, this is yours. Eat well!"

In addition to eating by himself, Qin Yuan fed Erha dog food, and then fed the bomber some raw beef.

This raw beef was specially bought by Qin Yuan for the bombers when he passed through the county. After all, the peregrine falcon is a carnivore.

In addition, it is now in an injured state, so it must not lack nutrition.

After eating, Qin Yuan had nowhere to go, because the place he was now was an abandoned village.

The nearest county town is more than 20 kilometers away, and he doesn't want to go out at night.

After washing up early, Qin Yuan sat cross-legged on the Tukang and started editing today's riding video.

Yesterday's riding video earned him 350 reputation points, so he wanted to work hard and see if he could continue yesterday's style today.

It took him more than an hour to edit a 25-minute riding video.

The video content of this issue is mainly the scenes he shot in Yongtai Turtle City yesterday, and then he recorded the song "East Wind Breaks".

After the video editing was completed, he posted the video directly. Because it was still early, he called Liu Yuyan.

Talking on the phone with Liu Yuyan every day has become a part of his life. If he doesn't call, he won't get used to it.

"Master, I can now control the owls to write couplets. When you come to Yanjing, I will let them perform for you."

"Really or not? Have you trained enough to write couplets?" Qin Yuan couldn't help being surprised when he heard Liu Yuyan's words.

You must know that the so-called bird's song does not actually exist. It is a white lie he told Liu Yuyan.

Although he had told those owls before to listen carefully to Liu Yuyan's words.

But I didn't expect that Liu Yuyan would train them all to this point. It seems that Liu Yuyan really loves the birdsong!

"Of course it's true. They are obedient. They do whatever I tell them to do." Liu Yuyan said very proudly and happily.

Seeing Liu Yuyan so happy, Qin Yuan couldn't help but smile. The reason why he told those owls to listen to Liu Yuyan's words was to make Liu Yuyan happy.

Now that he sees the results achieved, he is naturally happy.

And he didn't know if it was because of the owl's company, Liu Yuyan now felt much more lively to him.

You must know that Liu Yuyan suffers from severe social phobia, and she usually jumps out word by word when speaking.

But just now she was extremely happy and talked to him a lot in one breath, which was very rare.

"That's really great, I was worried you couldn't train them!"

"No, I am your master's apprentice." Liu Yuyan said proudly.

"Haha, you are right. You are my good disciple. When I go to Yanjing, I will definitely accept your training results."

"Qin's great magic stick, and mine, I'm actually pretty good at training." At this moment, Liu Yutong suddenly interrupted.

"Okay, okay, let's check it out together when the time comes. No matter how big or small, Liu Yutong, can you please stop eavesdropping on my phone calls with Yuyan?

Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if we said something you shouldn’t hear? "Qin Yuan joked.

"Tch, I know you don't have good intentions when you call my sister every day, so I have to keep an eye on you even more."

"You keep an eye on the deer! If you want to keep an eye on your father, Liu Jianning, you are just a dog catching a mouse and meddling in other people's business. I won't teach you the language of birds next time."

"How dare you, if you don't teach me, I will call you every day and annoy you to death. Then I will tell the public that you made our two sisters pregnant, and then dumped us. I will ruin your reputation. ”

"!!!" Qin Yuan.

"Liu Yutong, do you want to kill me? I'm afraid of you. I'll teach you how to do it at the head office!"

"Humph, that's pretty much it. Okay, I won't tell you anymore, hang up." Liu Yutong said and directly picked up the phone.

Listening to the busy signal from the other end of the phone, Qin Yuan looked helpless. They were obviously twin sisters, why was there such a big gap!

In Yanjing, in the Liu family villa, Liu Yuyan looked thoughtfully at her sister Liu Yutong beside her.

"Sister, do you like Master?"

"!!!" Liu Yutong.
