Chapter 273 Guide
At the same time, Chen Yulou and the others who were deep in Tibet were a little confused about their direction.
"My junior brother Zhang has made several divination predictions and swore that we would meet my disciple in Tibet. We have been wandering around for more than ten days after crossing the border, but we haven't even met a living person." Jin Abacus
complained.
The three of them were lying on the slope, with unkempt hair, sallow complexions, and dark skin. They looked like they had suffered a lot.
Chen Yulou also looked sad and spat out the grass roots in his mouth: "There is not much food in the space ring left by Xiao Hei. We have to think of a way. If we continue like this, it is not an option. We haven't seen the third brother by then.
We will starve to death first."
The partridge whistle looked at the sky and added: "Maybe the third brother has found the destination based on the gold foil."
"I also remember the map on the gold foil, but it's not easy to find without reference." Chen Yulou suddenly got up and thought about it again: "Do you still remember the parchment left by the ancestors? The second painting is of a glacier.
, maybe the place we are looking for is in the Kunlun Mountains, which has a high altitude and many glaciers."
"So, after all this time, we still have to go to Kunlun Mountain." Jin Abacus sighed.
"It can't be said that we have gained a lot from Jingjue Ancient City. Moreover, the Kunlun Mountains are so big, and the gold foil taken out of Queen Jingjue's coffin must be closely related to the place we are looking for. It's just that we still lack a "key" right now.
." Chen Yulou firmly said.
"I hope what you said is right, but where is the "key"? The hiding place is so big, you can't find it on foot, right?"
Chen Yulou didn't answer. He thought about whether he should find a local Tibetan to ask about the situation, but what they broke into seemed to be an uninhabited land. It was very desolate and the probability of meeting a living person was extremely low.
If we change the route to Kunlun Mountain, material supply will be a difficult problem.
For a moment, the three of them didn't know what to do.
Suddenly, the soil shook slightly, and the sound of a truck driving was heard in the distance.
At the end of the loess slope, three military trucks carrying twenty or thirty people approached slowly, with smoke and dust rising everywhere.
These people stood on the military card with firearms and looked around, showing the style of soldiers.
The three people hurriedly lay down in the withered grass and waited until the green-skin military convoy in front of them disappeared before they came out together.
"Finally I saw a living person, but which force is this? Is it the British?" Jin Abacus asked doubtfully.
Partridge Whistle shook his head slightly: "It's not like that, there are Han Chinese faces, and there are quite a few of them."
"No matter which family they are from, they should have brought a lot of supplies. How about we follow them and make it easier?" Chen Yulou suggested.
Partridge Whistle and Golden Abacus both nodded, and at the same time they were quite curious about the purpose and intention of this team going deep into Tibet.
......
Five or six days later, Ye Bai took the Jiang siblings to the Buqing Plateau near Kellamir in the Kunlun Mountains.
In addition to pastures, there are also large areas of desert and no-man's land.
This is the intersection of Qinghai, Tibet and Xinjiang.
That day, the three of them stayed at a herdsman’s home.
Ye Bai paid a lot of money, and the three of them had the most sumptuous meal in dozens of days.
Cold yak tongue, cordyceps roasted pork, Tibetan buns, enema, grilled lamb chops, butter puff pastry...
Many local specialty foods opened Ye Bai's eyes, and he lamented that the motherland has a vast land, rich resources, and many delicious foods.
There is a Tibetan man named Uji in the herdsman's family. He is less than forty years old. He is a typical Kham man, smart and capable.
He was the only person of his generation who had ever entered Jaramere. At the dinner table, he learned that Ye Bai and the others were going to go deep into Jaramere, so he volunteered to be their guide.
This man didn't speak Mandarin, so Ye Bai had to let Jiang Chanyi translate the whole process so that Ye Bai could communicate with him.
According to him, the place Ye Bai and the others were going to was an uninhabited area in Tibet. Very few people set foot there. Ordinary people would get lost if they went there. Only by taking him there could they get in and out safely.
Ye Bai smiled, this is Wang Po selling her melons and bragging about herself.
Before he could make a decision, Jiang Chanyi leaned into his ear and said, "I think it's a good idea to take him with us, so we won't get lost."
"Then you will pay?"
Jiang Chanyi's face stiffened, and she quickly said: "Then it's better not to do it. With you here, we won't be afraid of getting lost."
When he learned that Ye Bai refused, Wu Ji showed a gloomy look on his face.
The dinner was almost over, and several young children stuck their heads out from the sheepskin curtain behind the dining table, looking pitifully at the food on the dining table.
One boy and three girls, all of whom are Uji's children, the oldest is only seven years old.
Their skin is dark and dry, but their eyes are big, round, watery, and full of childlike innocence.
The leftovers that Ye Bai and the others ate were a rare and sumptuous feast for these children.
"Tell Wuji that we are in need of a guide, and we will purchase a lot of supplies before departure so that he can prepare them in advance." Ye Bai said to Jiang Chanyi.
Jiang Chanyi glanced at the child behind the curtain, knowing why Ye Bai changed his mind, and then translated these words to Wu Ji.
Wu Ji was overjoyed after hearing this. He thanked Ye Bai and said a few words of thanks in Tibetan.
At the end of the dinner, the three of them had eaten and drank enough. There was a large leg of lamb on the table, and Jiang Yu wanted to take it back and eat it slowly.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Jiang Chanyi knocked it off.
"Eat, eat, eat. I know how to eat. I have almost become a foodie. I don't know how to leave some for others!"
Jiang Yu felt aggrieved and had to follow the two of them out of the yurt.
After the three people left, Wuji's children happily rushed to the dining table and happily shared the leftovers of the feast.
In the afternoon of the second day, Ye Bai purchased a lot of resources. Most of them were packed in the space, and the other half was left for the Jiang family to keep separately.
Including Wu Ji, four people and five yaks headed northwest with a large amount of supplies and embarked on a journey to the Kunlun Mountains.
Before taking them away, Wuji waved goodbye to the children.
"Dad, come back as soon as possible, we are waiting for you at home..." (Tibetan)
Deep inland on the Northern Tibetan Plateau, the climate is dry and cold, with vertical changes in temperature and rainfall, cold winters and long dry seasons.
It is now late summer, the most unstable time of the year.
The desolate wilderness is called "Chihuo" no-man's land. Although it is completely uninhabited, there are many creatures in nature. There are flocks of birds, wild animals appear from time to time, and the mountains in the distance stretch endlessly.
Behind the mountain and the blue sky are connected, there is a large expanse of white snow, but it is too far away to tell whether it is a snow-capped mountain or clouds piling up on the horizon.
The four of them walked for five days, passing through no man's land and about to enter the mountains.
This is an area even more desolate than the uninhabited wasteland.
During this period, Wu Ji was indeed a qualified guide. He led Ye Bai and the others around many difficult roads, greatly saving travel time.
