Chapter 197: Strange Customs

"What's going on?" Zhang Chen asked Ridan.

"I don't know, but the herdsmen in this grassland know that this house is air-conditioned. Zhidan said.

Later, some herders found that there was a field without grass on one side of the stone, and the ground was often frozen, which was particularly cold compared to the surrounding area, but outside this field without grass, the grass around it was very lush. Later, there were herders who buried their prey here for storage, which was used as a natural refrigerator. Later, a school was built here and it became what it is today. Ridan explained to Zhang Chen.

"How is this cold air formed? Where does the small hole lead?" Zhang Chen asked Ridan a series of questions.

As for Zhang Chen's question, the explanation that Ridan can make has been answered. As for how this cold air is formed, and where the small hole leads, I have never thought about it, and no one has come to explore and explain, so I can know it.

"I really don't know about this, and no one has ever talked about it. I also want to know what's going on?" Ridan smiled apologetically at Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen saw such a strange geological phenomenon for the first time, and saw that the answers he knew from Ridan's mouth were limited, so his brain worked at high speed, collecting all his geographical and physical knowledge in his life, and thinking about why this phenomenon happened.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Chen explained to Ridan: "This phenomenon is similar to the principle of air conditioning, don't underestimate this hole, it may lead to hundreds or thousands of kilometers away, and the air can only produce such a phenomenon under the cycle of thermal expansion and cold contraction. ”

"This is inseparable from the temperature difference and air pressure of the external environment. I can't say exactly what caused it. However, I'm sure there must be a hole in the outside that connects to this place," Zhang Chen continued.

"These cold airs are hot air at high pressure, which is released when it is cold and released at a relatively low air pressure here. Zhang Chen said.

"Let's not discuss this, the most important thing at the moment is, where do I put this thing in my hand? just the entrance of the cave?" Zhang Chen asked Ridan inquiringly.

Also, it's not appropriate to put that hole directly, and next year when students come back to class, it's not good for the staff, teachers, or students to see this thing. I don't know when I'll be able to pick it up, and I can't say a letter of approval. Ridan thought to himself.

"Where do you say it's okay?" asked Zhang Chen rhetorically.

Zhang Chen and Ridan discussed for a while, and the two of them decided to bury the human head under the hole.

So, the two picked up the small stones under the entrance of the cave, used knives to dig a pit that just put down the head of Jiangnan Jianren, and buried it in it.

Due to the cold, the soil was very hard, and it took the two of them half a day to dig through the pits, with the help of stones and knives, to complete the work. After covering the soil, Zhang Chen and Ridan carefully covered it with small stones to keep it as original as possible.

Wait for Zhang Chen and Ridan to complete all the work and walk out of the wooden house. The two of them were already exhausted.

"I'm going to take a break, I'm so tired. What about you?" asked Zhang Chen inquiringly.

"I also want to rest, you think I'm not sleepy, hehe!" Zhang Chen said back to Ridan.

Zhang Chen and Ridan sat back on the off-road jeep and sat on the seat, Zhang Chen and Ridan sat motionless for a while, and neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Zhang Chen asked Ridan and said, "What kind of place is this? How far is it from Bijin, my next stop is Bijin City." Are you sure you want to come with me?"

"It's scary to think about, what else can I do if I don't go with you? Go back? I'm afraid of ending up like my father. Lying on the seat, he muttered as he looked at the roof of the car.

When Zhang Chen heard this, he couldn't help choking. It is also said that since Eugene treated her father like this, and now he allows her to contact him, he is the one who knows the secret of Eugene's treasure, and after he returns, it is difficult to guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen.

Saving a life is better than a seventh-level floating slaughter. Keep up, just keep up, the right to ask someone to translate, I can't think about it so much now, Zhang Chen thought to himself.

So, Zhang Chen said to Ridan: "It's okay to follow me, but we have to leave this place quickly now, it's not early now, we have to find something to eat." You're not hungry, I'm running out of strength right now. ”

"It's easy to do, but when you say it, I'm a little hungry. Wait a minute. ”

After Ridan finished speaking, he got out of the car, took out a sheepskin bag from the trunk of the car and came to Zhang Chen.

"Oh, give it!" Ridan took out a burnt yellow steamed bun from his sheepskin pouch and handed it to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen was not polite, he took it and took a bite, it was hard and hard, but there was a smell of milk, which was similar to what he ate in the Eugene tribe, except that there was an extra smell of milk.

"What kind of food is this, it's unpalatable. Zhang Chen asked Ridan.

"Come on, it's good to have food! so picky!" Ridan glanced at Zhang Chen and said.

Then, one after another, he took out a water bag made of sheep urine bubble from the sheepskin sac, and a black dry object that I did not know whether it was a leg of mutton or a deer leg.

Ridan pulled out the cork of the water bag, took two sips with a gurgling, and handed it to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen took it and poured it with a gulp, "Porphy!" Zhang Chen hurriedly spit it out, and spit out several mouthfuls of saliva in succession, damn, this is wine!

Ridan glanced at Zhang Chen disdainfully: "You can't drink it, don't waste it!", Ridan took out his waist knife and used the knife to cut the black dry thing like an animal's leg, only to see her cut out a piece, put it in her mouth and chew it.

Seeing Zhang Chen's puzzled face, Ridan said, "This is a dried leg of mutton, let's have a piece!" After speaking, he handed over a piece.

The outer skin is black and not slippery, but the inner meat layer is bright red, and the slices of meat can be clearly seen to be bloodshot on it.

Zhang Chen looked left and right in his hand, and never dared to put it in his mouth: "Is this ripe?

Ridan slipped another piece and put it in his mouth, and said while chewing, "Eat it with confidence, this is air-dried lamb shank." It's okay to eat, it's undercooked, but it won't hurt you. ”

Leg of mutton, air-dried, undercooked! These words hit Zhang Chen's ear drums, and he tried to bite the slices of meat in his hand.

The taste is similar to that of Jinhua ham in the mainland, but it has a fishy smell. After Zhang Chen tried it, he secretly said to himself in his heart. So, he Ridan chewed the leg of lamb with confidence.

"About fifty kilometers from here, there's a place called Dodge, where trains pass through. There we may have a car to Bikin. Ridan said to Zhang Chen while gnawing on the leg of lamb.

"Then let's head for Doji after eating, shall we?" Zhang Chen asked Ridan.

Now, Zhang Chen finally put his mind at ease, and happily chewed on the dried lamb leg and steamed bun with Ridan.

The two of them had a great meal, and finally they were full, Zhang Chen stroked his belly with his hand: "This is the most comfortable meal I have eaten in the past few days!"

Idan silently put away the rest of the food, put it back in the sheepskin bag, and put it back in the trunk.

After tidying up, Zhang Chen and Ridan got into the car, and Ridan started the off-road jeep and ran towards Daoji.

It seems that during the meal just now, Zhang Chen and Ridan both used their strength, and neither of them in the car spoke.

The two of them were silent, only hearing the squeak of wheels running over the turf, and after a while, Zhang Chen began to fall asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Zhang Chen felt the car stop. Zhang Chen glanced at Ridan who was sitting in the driver's seat with sleepy eyes, only to see Ridan open the car door and get out of the car without knowing what to say.

"What's wrong?!" Zhang Chen suddenly came to his senses and asked Ridan a little nervously.

"The car can't go, get out of the car, it's out of gas. Ridan said with his right kick on the front tire.

Hearing that the off-road jeep ran out of gas, Zhang Chen suddenly lost his sleepiness and stepped out of the car.

"How far is it from Dougie?" Zhang Chen asked Ridan.

"I'm not sure how far away. Anyway, the car left the school, and it didn't take long to run out of gas. "There should be dozens of kilometers to go. Ridan looked at Zhang Chen and said helplessly.

"What about this car?"

"We burned it and faked an accident phenomenon. Zhang Chen said thoughtfully.

"Why do you do that?" asked Zhdan.

"Aren't you afraid that Eugene will send someone to follow and kill you? If you send me out and don't go back, what will she think? If you go back, what will happen, you have also thought of this, so you don't need me to say more, right?" Zhang Chen said to Ridan.

Looking back and thinking about it, what Zhang Chen said was indeed true, and Ridan couldn't help but nodded. This foreign man thinks a lot. Ridan couldn't help but think secretly.

Ridan actually didn't think of this, she still secretly praised Zhang Chen in her heart. This man doesn't just see what is in front of him, he also sees what is likely to happen behind the scenes.

's appreciation for Zhang Chen unconsciously increased a little more.

Zhang Chen didn't pay attention to what Ridan was thinking. He thinks about all kinds of problems according to his own ideas. Of course, it also solves all kinds of problems that may arise.

When the car was burning in the raging fire, Zhang Chen and Ridan took advantage of the thick smoke in the sky and went to a place called Daoji.

Luckily, Hitan is familiar with this place. Like a guide, she led the way in front and constantly introduced the people and customs along the way.

According to Ridan, there is a strange custom that after a person dies, the dead are buried in the ground for three to five years, and after three or five years, the dead are pulled out of the coffin and their bones are put back into a porcelain jar.

"What are you trying to tell me about this?" Zhang Chen knew that Ridan would not tell him about this custom for no reason.

Ridan thought for a while before replying, "I mean, don't you think it's strange to the people here?

Zhang Chen thought for a while, and finally nodded silently and said, "That's right." It's quite possible that you're talking about this. By the way, how long does it take to get from here to Gambi?"

"The time? It could be a day or two, or it could be three or five hours. ”

Zhang Chen was taken aback, this is too strange, isn't it? Two days a day and three or five hours are not the same concept at all.

"Yes, the people here are different from my dad. "It's as if I'm trying to figure it out, thinking about how to take things that seem strange to many people here for granted.

"Well, that's right. As he pondered, Ridan slowly explained, "The people here don't think it's necessary for people to put themselves in such a short period of time in this life. My dad also said that there is a past life, this life, and a future life, and people here will never die. So, their lives are slow, very slow. ”

"Well, I see that. "When Zhang Chen first arrived here, he was a little surprised by the customs here. Unexpectedly, the longer I was here, the more strange I saw, heard, and felt.

"Well, I'll go ahead and tell you about it. What about trains? Timetables are almost always hung on the wall. Sometimes, if there is a group of people at the station who want to drink, and they happen to buy a ticket, the train will wait until they have had enough to drink before it starts. ”

"Oh my God!" Liu Yong cried out in pain in his heart. Isn't there a rush for anyone in the car?

"As for people who are in a hurry, it's not really a matter of urgency anyway. Or to put it another way, people who are in a hurry will not take this kind of car. There is no way, the train that runs to our town is this kind of car that is not in a hurry. ”
