Chapter Ninety-Four: Hoh Xili

The convoy departed from Golmud, who is a local, who is a mainlander, at a glance, the local drivers and guides are dressed casually, leather coats, cotton jackets, etc., hair is messy, black and red, mainlanders are all dressed in brightly colored jackets, wearing sunglasses and hats, a pampered and occasionally go to the west to feel that life is very cool.

Along the way, Jian Ai was talking to Liu Kunlun about Yu Qian's father and father, and they were sitting in a Land Cruiser with a Qinghai license plate, Jian Ai was so happy that she leaned forward and backwards, kept laughing wildly, and said Liu Kunlun, you have a really good temper, and you don't get angry no matter what you say.

"Alas, what will you do when you step into society in the future, it is simply at the mercy of others. Jian Ai sighed indisputably, and wanted to reach out to touch Liu Kunlun's head, "Or my sister will cover you." ”

Liu Kunlun pressed Jian Ai's hand down, just smiled faintly, not strange at all, this ugly and stupid girl didn't know her prestige, if she knew that the young man in front of her already had more than a dozen lives on her hands, I am afraid that she would not dare to squeak in the future, Liu Kunlun did not want that.

The expedition team went straight to Wudaoliang, which belongs to the Yushu area of Qinghai, with an average altitude of more than 4,500 meters, it is a real no-man's land, that is, an area that is not suitable for human habitation for a long time.

The Tibetan driver who drove the car heard Jian Ai's exclamation, saying that this is nothing, there have been people in the no-man's land, the gang of poaching Tibetan antelopes has been active here for more than ten years, they have good cars, guns, the public security can not beat them, Sonam Dajie was killed by poachers, the mountain patrol team drove a Beijing jeep, but there is no such conditions as now, it is a Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle at every turn, as well as satellite phones and GPS.

"Master, have you seen Sonam Dajie?" Jian Ai asked the Tibetan uncle with a vicissitudes of life.

"I drove Sonam Dajie when I was twenty-two years old. The master said, "My name is Dangwang, I am a member of the Western Working Committee, and then Sonam Dajie died, and his brother-in-law Dzhaba Dorje died within two years of taking over, and then later, the Western Working Committee was dissolved, and I went to the Zhiduo County Tourism Bureau as a driver, until now." ”

"Master, tell me the story of the past. Jian Ai no longer cared about Liu Kunlun's father and father, and begged Uncle Dangwang to come.

The driver is idle and bored, and tells the story that has been told countless times, he is a driver of the tourism bureau, and often sends mainland and foreign guests, these stories are easy to master, and they have been quite smooth, in addition to the story of protecting the Tibetan antelope, occasionally interspersed with some other jokes, such as mysterious allusions in no man's land.

"It is said that it is a no-man's land, but our Hoh Xil is much better than the desert, there are snow-capped mountains, lakes, animals, Tibetan antelopes, wild yaks, marmots, and vegetation, people are the most tenacious animals, we caught poachers are not easy to deal with, with danger, kill the law, put them in the no-man's land, can go out is their life, can not go out is also life, many people can go out, they have no car, no food and water, can not still do. ”

Jane Ai said: "A lot of people can get out, that means there are some people who can't?"

When Wang didn't answer this question, he brought up another thing: "One year, the tourism bureau gave me a task to go to Bukadaban every other month to give supplies, which is the highest peak in Hoh Xil, 6,800 meters above sea level, that person lived in the mountain for a long time, he was in a cave, the entrance of the cave was piled up with stones, leaving only a small hole, I put the provisions in this small hole to complete the task." ”

Jian Ai exclaimed, "Cultivator, there really is such a person!"

Dangwang said: "Many, since the reform and opening up, it has not been broken, we have here, there are many Ali in Tibet, some are from India and Nepal, there are also people from Western Europe and the United States, they eat the same things, nothing else, just water and barley noodles." ”

"Then what to do with the stool he pulled?" Liu Kunlun interjected, and was pushed away by Jian Ai: "You go." ”

"Then have you seen that cultivator, have you spoken to him?" Jian Ai was very curious.

Dangwang said: "Our ordinary staff do not have the opportunity to meet, they will not come to negotiate in person, generally let the entourage negotiate with the tourism bureau, in the past, the technology was not developed, the degree of openness is not high enough, foreigners come here to practice, without our government is not feasible, now it is different, they can rent their own car, find their own guides, and slowly do not ask the local government for help, so the government has lost a large piece of foreign exchange income." ”

All the way, Wudaoliang arrived, the team carried out a simple supply, in fact, they were very sufficient, the pickup was filled with drinking water, dry food, gasoline and spare tires and various tools, the food in the Wudaoliang restaurant tasted very poor, the team set up a stove to cook by itself, and continued to move forward after a full meal, not more than 30 kilometers is where Liu Kunlun had an accident.

The broken down Jetta car was still parked on the side of the road, the white body was mottled by the wind and sand, Liu Kunlun wondered, why no one stole the car easily, you can understand if you think about it, the cost is too high, the old Jetta is worth twenty or thirty thousand yuan, and it is really unwise to drag a scrapped broken car on the plateau.

But the things in the car that had a little value were gone, including Liu Kunlun's identity documents, wallet and mobile phone, and even the spare tire was taken away.

The expedition team stopped on the side of the road, and the team members got out of the car and looked for traces along the route of Liu Kunlun's disappearance, but Liu Kunlun had no impression at all, he couldn't see clearly that day the wind and sand were too big, and he only remembered that there seemed to be a lama temple in the distance, but today the weather was fine, the visibility on the plateau was extremely high, and the lama temple could not be found with a telescope.

"There aren't any lama temples here. "It could be a hallucination caused by a lack of oxygen." ”

Li Ming noticed the talkative Tibetan driver, and talked to him, and after a few words, he mentioned the person who practiced in the cave of Bukada Ban Peak, Li Ming was very interested, and asked for some details, Dangwang only said that he knew the road, but the person had really never seen it.

"Go now, can you still find your way?" Li Ming asked, after getting an affirmative answer, he took out his satellite phone, walked a few hundred meters away and didn't know who to call, called for more than ten minutes, and came back to announce that he was going to Bukadaban Peak, and the expedition was changed to mountaineering.

The convoy left the highway and headed westward, in front of the Hoh Xil no man's land, there were sufficient supplies and strong logistical support, everyone was very motivated, the scenery along the way was magnificent, glacial rivers, meadows and Gobi, as well as herds of Tibetan antelopes and wild yaks, Dangwang was right, this is no man's land, but the traces of human activities are not less, they even met the mountain patrol personnel of the reserve on the road, the two sides had a simple exchange, and learned that the team was an official explorer endorsed by the government, and the mountain patrol team did not find them trouble.

Empty and desolate as the surface of Mars, this is Jane Eyre's adjective, and it took only one day to go from the initial shocking praise to the later dull and lethargic.

Staying overnight in Hoh Xili, Liu Kunlun and Jian Ai lived in the same tent, the wind was howling outside, and the tent was as warm as spring, Jian Ai began to be bored again, and asked Liu Kunlun's life experience.

"Do you do whatever you want just because you're ugly?" Liu Kunlun said angrily, "Believe it or not, I ......."

"What's wrong with you?" said Jane Aiman nonchalantly.

"Nothing. Liu Kunlun was stunned.

"Actually, I don't have a father, my father died when I was one year old, I don't remember what he looked like, my mother died when I was five years old, and my grandmother brought me up, so I was a tomboy since I was a child, a wild child, and I especially envy people who have parents who love me. Jian Ai said in a low voice, and fell silent after speaking, just when Liu Kunlun wanted to comfort her, she suddenly said: "Especially those who have a father and a father, you are so lucky." ”

Liu Kunlun said: "When I was a child, my father often beat me, to the death, but I never begged for mercy, nor shed a single tear, he beat harder, and then when I grew up, I often fought with others, I didn't accept anyone, no one was afraid, even if the knife was in the neck, I didn't pierce the eye." ”

After a pause, Liu Kunlun said again: "But now I obey you." ”

"Hahaha. Jane Ai burst into a heartless laugh.

The long night in the no-man's land passed unconsciously, and it was even colder when I woke up in the morning, and even equipped with world-class camping tents and heating facilities, it was extremely difficult, and it was hard to imagine how hard it was for the Sonam Dajie to be back then.

There is no way to go to Bukadaban Peak at all, you can only climb on foot, looking at the snow-capped mountains, until now Dangwang told the truth, he bragged, he did not send supplies to the cultivators, but this thing is true, he is only responsible for transporting to the bottom of the mountain, and there is another person to climb the mountain to transport.

Li Ming took precautions, and brought people with him mountaineers, and they were masters who had climbed Mount Everest from the north slope, but even so, the hasty mountaineering was still extremely dangerous, and the Bukhada Ban Peak was steep, the glaciers were continuous, and the wind was as high as eleven or two, and few people in history had successfully reached the summit, and the peaks of Mount Everest were not the same as those of Mount Everest, and there were twenty-eight peaks scattered around here, and it was impossible to know which peak the cultivator was on at all.

A member of the mountaineers objected, saying that in 2001 an 8.1-magnitude earthquake struck Mount Kunlun, which not only caused a 300-kilometre-long crack, but also caused the ice peaks on the north side of Bukadaban to collapse, forming a moat, in other words, that even vultures on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, let alone humans, could not fly.

The expedition was organized by Li Ming, but there was only an employment relationship, and there was no relationship between superiors and subordinates, and he had no problem with others picking on him.

"Isn't it naΓ―ve to mobilize people to climb snow-capped mountains for the sake of this guy's bragging?" the mountaineer asked Li Ming.

"He's not bragging. Li Ming said, "The person he said does exist, and it is even more magical than what he said, if you can find the cave where he once hid, you will be rewarded with a million." ”

The mountaineers scoffed, "One million is good, but no life is equal to zero, besides, everyone else is gone, what is the value of leaving a void."

Li Ming said: "Two million. ”
