104. From the surface of the water to the ground

To describe such a magnificent scene, to describe such a mighty and mighty image, words are pale. Thousands of tons of traffic don't make people feel anything. How can we describe the magnificence of the rolling and turbulent current? Moreover, before the village chief can comprehend Zuo Lin's description, he has to go through Sanchi's "translation." Fortunately, Zuo Lin took a lot of photos, and there happened to be a darkroom technician in the photo studio in the nearby town who had worked in the travel photography industry before and was very experienced in developing reversal films. Sanji helped run errands and brought back the photos that had been rushed out the next day, while the negatives were couriered to Shanghai in the town at Zuo Lin's request.

The village chief looked at the photos and was amazed. The white streams of water are enough to prove the magic of nature.

Zuo Lin, on the other hand, spent a few days in the village, chatting with the village chief and the people in the village who could make do with each other. There are indeed some interesting things about this place that combines multiple faiths and cultures to form a unique local character.

"Village Chief, do you mean that there is a shrine in the waterfall area? In the past, people went to worship the water god every year?" When he heard this rumor, Zuo Lin frowned and looked incredulous.

"Yes. However, it is not clear where the shrine is. After all, I haven't been there, but there is something to say from the village. The village chief said with a smile.

"But...... How could there be such a structure there? The current was so strong that everything was washed away. Zuo Lin Wuzi was a little unconvinced.

The village chief smiled proudly and said, "The shrine carved out of the mountain will not." Dig straight into the mountains. The whole thing was chiseled out of the stone. In the fall, the entrance is revealed, and in the summer, it is just below the water. I guess so, there used to be a master who died near here, and the people of several villages came together to repair the tomb for this master to store the relics, and that's it. That place is not far from here. People from the village often go. ”

The village chief's words made Zuo Lin a little enlightened. Maintain water pressure, air pressure and ground balance. Such a structure can make the water level on the outside dozens of meters higher than the inside. But there is also a premise, that is, the mountain that excavates this kind of space must not have serious water seepage. Or it can be used to suppress water seepage by artificial technical means. As soon as the dug room seeped water, the pressure balance was broken and it was immediately submerged.

This gave Zolin a way to rethink the problem. ran back and forth in the area pointed out by Sun Lao a few times, if it wasn't that he deliberately avoided himself, it was that he didn't find clues. The clue is below the surface of the water, which is the most plausible explanation. The water level in the valley during the wet season is higher than in the dry season in winter.

Zuo Lin began to regret that he had not had a better understanding of the environment before he set off. For those "subordinates" who have not kept their own books, they have turned out some spells suitable for water activities, or simply practice a metamorphosis of an aquatic form. Although it was not easy to master a spell or transfiguration, it was not so difficult that it was intimidating to Zuo Lin. Everything, can only be blamed on Zuo Lin for being too confident in the spells and abilities he has mastered.

After pondering for a while, Zuo Lin took out a photo of Sun Lao and showed it to the village chief, and asked, "Village chief, have you seen this person?"

The village chief squinted his eyes and looked at the photo carefully, and said, "Isn't this Teacher Sun? A few months ago, someone in the village got sick. It was cured by Mr. Sun. He also came to the village at the end of last month and asked Sanchi if he had bought something, and when Sanchi came back you asked him. Teacher Sun is your local friend?"

Sanji went to town again today, and it seems that someone in the town asked him for help. And the communication between Zuo Lin and the village chief, although there were some bumps in the road because everyone's Mandarin did not seem to be a language, but it was also dealt with. As long as everyone doesn't use too complicated sentences and too cold words, it's fine.

"Teacher Sun is my master, and I came here to find him. Zuo Lin said.

The village chief seemed a little confused, and said, "Teacher Sun is still around here? No, we often come and go to several nearby villages, but I haven't heard that Teacher Sun is still here." We all thought that Mr. Sun was from a nearby town or city, and he usually came once or twice a month. What do you mean...... Mr. Sun, he lives in the waterfall area?" When the village chief thought of Zuo Lindi's itinerary, he understood what Zuo Lin meant, and his face was full of shock, and his face turned a little pale. "How can there be people there?"

Zuo Lin shrugged his shoulders and said, "This...... I can't say it now. It's not like I haven't found anyone yet. ”

The village chief calmly disappeared. Instead, fidgeting. Teacher Sun...... He's not just any ordinary person. ”

Zuo Lin did not deny it, nor did he admit it. He said seriously: "Mr. Sun is a good doctor, he came here probably to collect medicine and make medicines." There are so many plants in the valley that they can't grow outside. ”

Zuo Lin's tone and words seemed to make the village chief realize, and he immediately put aside the topic, followed what Zuo Lin said, and talked about Sun Lao's medical treatment in several nearby villages. Although Sun Lao only appears for one or two days a month, even so, he still has some small fame. And from what the village chief said, Zuo Lin also found that Sun Lao had lived in seclusion not in the depths of the river valley for a few months, but at least for more than a year. Sun Lao would appear in the village from time to time, and occasionally in a few nearby towns, buying newspapers and magazines in addition to some daily necessities. There were people from other places who wanted to see Sun Lao, but they never met, mainly because Sun Lao did not appear in the place regularly, nor did he appear on the day of the month. Being able to meet him can probably only be attributed to chance.

Just as he was talking passionately, Sanchi returned. There was no road from the nearby town to the village, and Sanchi had always been riding his bicycle back and forth, never so fast before, and he was able to go to the town to finish his errands and return to the village before 2 p.m.

"The big jeep is just good, and it can still drive so fast on that kind of broken road. It will be there in a moment. It's the guy who drove the car...... I'm afraid I'll crash straight into the ravine before I know it," Sanchi said with a thrilling look on his face. For the simple villagers here, it is a rare experience to be able to ride such a powerful large off-road jeep.

"Has anyone from the town come to the village?" asked the village chief.

"It's not from the town, it's the people from the government, and it seems that the department has a task. Sanji said.

"Expedition again?" asked the village chief, speculatingly.

Sanji shook his head: "It seems that I also want to go to the waterfall area." Where is there an expedition team that is so not afraid of death. I mentioned that there were people in the village who came down from the upper reaches of the village alone, and they were happy. Just came with me. Said they were in a hurry and just lacked a guide. Sanji looked at Zuo Lin. asked: "Brother, can you go and talk to those people in the government, introduce you to each other, and I don't care about the rest of the place." ”

In Tibetan areas, whether it is a government department, an expedition team or a traveler, it is customary to ask locals to be guides and porters everywhere they go. In most cases, the two parties negotiate the price and conditions themselves. There's also the distance and the like. Sanchi, who has served as a guide for expeditions many times, knows this well. Let him send the people from the government department up the river into the waterfall area, which is a good errand during the dry season, but now in this season, it is a fateful affair. In Sanji's opinion, although Zuo Lin had a calm attitude, he was not at all as domineering or very picky about all aspects of life as he had seen people from some big cities before, but he quickly integrated into his surroundings. even imitated the local weird Mandarin accent to communicate with everyone, but the firm and stubborn temperament that Zuo Lin revealed could not be more obvious. Let Zuo Lin negotiate with those people from the government side, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, and no matter whether the two sides reach a condition in the end, he will at least not be offended.

Zuo Lin's brows furrowed, and he took a nap in the village. It's just that he can't find a way to find Sun Laodi for a while, and there are no useful clues, and now, when there are clues, such a thing is not what he wants. However, even if he did not agree to be a guide, he had to make it clear in front of those guys, so as not to cause trouble to the small village. The people who came from the government, with Zuolin's understanding of government officials, the evaluation is quite complicated.

Stopped in the middle of the village. It was the "big jeep" that could gallop on the dirt road in the mountains that led to the town with the most ox carts and horse-drawn carriages. A 03 model year Dongfeng ironclad military version. Although it looks a little like a Humvee, Zuo Lin, who has ridden or even driven this kind of car in Hoh Xili, knows it. The materials used in this car are much better than the Humvee, especially the American military version of the Humvee, which was later reduced in order to reduce costs. However, the problem is that this car is not sold to the public at all, and even in the troops, it is given priority from the more loyal core troops and the field operations departments of the core departments. Zuo Lin originally wanted to get a car to replace his BMW X5, but in the end he felt that it was really troublesome to go through the road and gave up.

Who are the so-called "government locals" who are here? It doesn't seem to be very easy to fool.

"Zuo Lin?" a familiar voice sounded behind him, "Why are you here?"

Guo Xiaoling? Zuo Lin turned around, his brows tangled, and it seemed that he couldn't get rid of these guys at this moment. "Guo Xiaoling, are you here to do it? Sanji is talking about the people of the government who are ...... you?"

Special Affairs Bureau...... Looks like they're here for a very unusual purpose.

PS：

1. Sigh about the effect of the sealing push......

2. Thank you for your criticism. Due to the wide range of information involved in the content of this topic, some bugs are inevitable due to the negligence of the data, and I hope you can continue to point it out for me. With the entire book largely complete, I will make a meticulous revision from the beginning to the end.

3. I feel the variety of tastes of book friends, but I am really trying my best to write the story in my head. It is impossible for any writer to satisfy everyone, and they are all finding their own balance in the process of writing-reading-receiving. In general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it is a good book.

4. Feel ...... Looks like it's time to speed up the update. Keep at least one update every day and see if you can squeeze some more energy out. Recently, there is another manuscript in my hand to rush, and when it is over, I guarantee that I will give you a satisfactory update speed. Roughly speaking, it would be in mid-January.

5. Thanks to everyone's support, I am very motivated. I admire the methods of many authors to canvass votes, and for the time being, everyone should put the monthly tickets in their hands into the battle to squeeze more chapters out of the hands of those big guys. I realistically don't think we have the momentum to get a piece of the market yet. However, if you think you can use the commuter pass to get me on the list of bonuses...... That would be great.
