They crossed the Yellow River, passed through Luoyang, stayed in Chang'an, settled in Baoji, and descended to Lanzhou, enduring bandit raids, Jin army attacks, Yellow River dangers, snowstorms, wolf attacks, and sandstorms. In the end, only a thin horse remained, pulling a baby, disappearing into the vast desert under the setting sun.
