Chapter 18 The Eagle Flying From Yakou
Su and I said that he was interested in timers for ethnic minorities in various places. The Naxi people had a village still in the mountains and maintained the timekeeping habits of ancient times. The devices used were very special, which were very different from those in the Central Plains, so he went to search. As a result, he encountered some accidents.
"Now there are still things that cannot be solved with money." I said unexpectedly, "Is that thing an antique?"
Su frowned and did not answer. At this time, I realized that his expression was not right. He was already very white and his face was almost bloodless now.
"Brother, do you have a stomachache?" When my former landlord's girlfriend was dysmenorrhea, I often saw this expression. At that time, I had to cook brown sugar water.
He untied his shirt and I saw the blood in the bandage seeping out, and it seemed that the wound had cracked.
I changed him to drive. My driving skills were to help the fishery sellers to get goods and pull out small pickup trucks with manual transmissions, but there was no certificate. However, there was a large wounded person around me, and I still had an excuse to meet the police.
Looking at the navigation, it would be fine if I was rushing, but I followed the nearest entrance and turned off the national highway. Although I had money, I had never stayed in a high-end hotel. There shouldn’t be too many 5-star hotels in the county-level and city. So I found a hotel that looked very much like a bath center from the outside and asked for a room.
When Su got off the car, I couldn't walk anymore. I held him like a drunk person. There were two rows of girls standing at the door, all wearing cheongsams to welcome us. They seemed to be very accustomed to such occasions.
When I entered the room, I changed his bandage and he fell asleep. I was so hungry that I went down to find a restaurant to fry two bowls of dough, and ate a bowl of it, and placed the other bowl on the head of Su's bed.
The first night was just like that. The next day, Su's condition improved and he continued to go on the road. Before driving, Su said seriously, don't put food on his bedside.
We drove on and off for three days before we drove into Muli. Russia and Asia were the last stronghold in Nasi. We had to ride in horses. When we entered Muli, we were filled with the flavor of ethnic minorities, and various ethnic groups lived here. We lived in the Kazhu Hotel.
In the evening, Su called out the map of Muli and told me that after we entered the Muli mountainous area, we had to continue walking in. There were some very sporadic villages and many Tibetan settlements in the mountain. There was a canyon in that area, with several large temple ruins, and the evil relics always pointed in that direction. Naxi Township was on our way and was our last stop for supply. It was safe in Russia and Asia. In the scattered villages, there was a village, which was his enemy. If you were discovered and encountered those eagles on the mountain, you would probably not even have a place to hide.
"Often you will not go deeper after you arrive in Russia and Asia. On the navigation map, you will find that there are no human landmarks near the Russian and Asian township, and there is nothing."
Those villages are not marked and can only be reached by foot. There is no mountain road for a long journey, only some traces of being stepped on. Further ahead is Shangri-La on the Yunnan-Tibet Line.
It takes 5 days to walk to enter the core area. Yisu's body is completely unbearable.
When I arrived at the plateau, the air was dry and cold, and my body was a little uncomfortable. Listening to Su’s explanation, I felt more and more inappropriate, but I never had the idea of retreating for any moment. I didn’t know why, as long as I agreed, I would not know how to regret it.
"Why did Luo go into such a deep mountain?" I asked Su. This was simply illogical. If you wanted to live in seclusion, it would be very hidden to come to Muli County.
"It's probably because it's stupid." Su thought seriously for a few minutes and answered me like this.
We had been in Muli for about a week. I purchased equipment, chatted with various locals and made strategies. I felt that all the strategies had the words "big death". A week later, we stepped forward and advanced all the way to the plateau mountainous areas. At an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, I couldn't even smoke. The damn mule walked forward leisurely while shitting and farting. The cat almost stopped moving at all. I thought it was dead every time, but it was not dead. I wonder if the cats would have altitude sickness.
Su's health was obviously not very good. As long as he had a few steps of walking by himself, he would be very tired. But when he was on the mule, he was obviously relaxed than me. His body swayed slightly as the mule moved. On the big slope at almost 60 degrees, it seemed like he was in the south of the Yangtze River.
He chatted all the way and told me that when he caught me, he went to check my information and locked me up for half a year. He found that I had settled down and knew that I was not an ordinary person.
"You are born with Stockholm syndrome." He commented on me, "because you are more dissatisfied with your own reality. So, unexpected situations and difficulties will make you more adaptable."
I only found out what the disease was, but Su didn't know. The real reason why I was trapped and settled down at that time, and I was unwilling to tell him so clearly.
When we arrived at Oia and then entered, we could only walk. We needed to find a Naxi hunter or herder to serve as our guide. We stopped at the pass ten kilometers away from the village and waited for the hunters coming and going. After drinking some butter tea to warm up, we suddenly heard a few bird calls. Then, a group of hunters wearing Naxi costumes dismounted one after another. Each of us dragged a big eagle in our hands.
I felt suffocated because I saw the little girl I had before, and was inside.
Because it was too cold, Su and I were wearing hoodies. I saw that He Er was on the arm of a big man next to the little girl. The big man was very burly, and He Er was like a big crow in his hand. I turned my head over and thought it was too coincidental. It was wrong to think about it. There was only one mountain road here, so it was normal to encounter it.
They should have caught up when Su and I were cultivating. Su and I looked at each other, and the two covered their heads and drank tea. Then they heard the little girl speak to the adults around me in local language. I don’t understand Naxi, but there are many Chinese pronunciations in Naxi now, and I only heard one word: "Typeg."
I wanted to leave immediately, but Su held me down. I looked at his expression and he was concentrating on listening to the group of people chatting.
They obviously marched here in a hurry, and they were all very tired, so they had a long rest time and chatted intermittently. Su's attention was unprecedentedly concentrated. I tried to leave several times but couldn't leave.
After sitting for about 40 minutes, I was sweating profusely. Suddenly, the boss at the pass brought something a little like jerky. All the eagles started to whistle. Almost at the same time, the cat in my backpack heard the eagle scream, and frightened and blew a lot.
