Yue Yue and Gu Changmu had an extremely difficult journey. Due to various reasons, they had to choose a wild road with few people.
However, with tenacious perseverance and unremitting efforts, after several days, they finally successfully reached the vast loess plateau.
At this moment, they have already stepped into the territory of Shaanxi City.
Looking up, I saw yellow earth flying all around, as if the whole world was covered by this yellow color.
For a long time, the continuous erosion of the Loess Plateau by rain has formed a unique landform with crisscrossing gullies and numerous ravines.
The earthen caves built against the mountains have become a unique way of living for local residents.
In order to resist the raging sandstorm, Yue Yue and Gu Changmu deliberately put on the headscarves commonly worn by local people.
However, even so, their journey was still fraught with danger, for not far behind them, Mo Shihao was leading a group of his men in hot pursuit.
In desperation, they had to disguise themselves and carefully avoid the enemy's pursuit.
Just today, the exhausted Yue Yue and Gu Changmu finally found the home of an old hunter.
The two men walked into the yard with great anticipation, explained their purpose to the kind old man, handed him some money, and begged him to stay there for one night.
After all, days of sleeping in the open air had already made them physically and mentally exhausted and unbearable.
In addition, the vegetation in this area is sparse, and the landscape is almost completely bare. The few trees that exist cannot provide effective shelter, causing their movement speed to slow down day by day.
Therefore, at this moment, their deep desire for rest became stronger and stronger. After all, they had been exhausted from running around non-stop for many days.
When the old man saw Yue Yue and Gu Changmu, the images of his son and daughter-in-law involuntarily appeared in his mind.
During these few days, his son and daughter-in-law went to the town to sell the fruits of the family's hard work for a whole year.
They haven't come back yet. They are still too far away from the town. If it wasn't something serious, they wouldn't be away for so many days.
Because the old man was very old, his son and daughter-in-law were worried that he would be too tired, so they insisted that he stay at home to rest and recuperate.
However, who could have expected that it was during this period that he would meet Yue Yue and Gu Changmu, a pair of strangers.
After some observation, the old man concluded that the two people in front of him were not people with bad intentions.
In addition, the other party was willing to pay him a full twenty yuan as a reward. The old man thought to himself: In this case, I might as well do a favor.
So, he enthusiastically prepared delicious food for Yue Yue and Gu Changmu, and generously cleaned up his son and daughter-in-law's room for them to rest overnight.
Faced with the old man's warm and thoughtful hospitality, Yue Yue and Gu Changmu were filled with gratitude which could not be expressed in words.
After finishing their meal, they hurried towards the room. Soon after they climbed onto the kang, sleepiness came over them like a tide, and they both fell into a sweet dream one after another.
That whole night, they were immersed in a quiet and peaceful sleep without any dream disturbances.
When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the house through the window, they slowly woke up, feeling refreshed, and their mental state had recovered a lot compared to before.
After expressing their deep gratitude to the old man, Yue Yue and Gu Changmu resolutely stood up and said goodbye, embarking on their unfinished journey again, continuing to move towards the unknown road ahead.
They stared at the slightly wrinkled map in their hands, and after studying it carefully, they were surprised to find that the next stop was still about three hours' drive away.
Although the journey was long, they had no intention of retreating. Instead, they resolutely restarted the vehicle and sped along the established route towards the unknown new location.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people.
As the wheels rolled forward, both sides of the road were gradually covered by flying yellow sand.
These tiny and dense grains of sand swept over like yellow smoke, covering the sky and ruthlessly blurring Gu Changmu's vision.
He squinted his eyes, trying to see the road ahead through the haze, but it was all in vain.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" and the car shook violently. Then it lost control and rushed straight into a deep ditch on the side of the road.
Fortunately, the two people in the car were not injured, but the current predicament left them feeling helpless.
Because the incident happened suddenly, they had no time to prepare any mechanical tools to pull the car out of the ditch.
After a brief discussion and reflection, they finally made a difficult decision reluctantly - to abandon the car.
Although I am filled with reluctance, I have no choice at this moment.
They carried simple bags on their backs, stepped onto the dusty road, and continued to move forward with difficulty.
With every step, a cloud of dust is raised under your feet, as if telling of the hardship and difficulty of this journey.
At this moment, Mo Shihao led his companions on a long journey and finally arrived at the surrounding area of the Loess Plateau.
The vast majority of this group of people were native northerners, and they had never seen such unique and spectacular terrain before them!
In an instant, everyone's eyes widened, stunned by the scene before them, and even forgot how to move forward.
It is the golden autumn season now, and the wind is howling, filled with the strong smell of loess.
