Before setting off, Fang Wuxian had already done a lot of homework on geographical knowledge, and he was also fully mentally prepared to enter the snow-capped mountains. He and Su Yan drove west from Xining to the highway, and when they arrived at Weichichuan, they took National Highway 214 and headed southwest.

At the beginning, you can still see some cultural landscapes, and I don't feel the special snow area. But when they passed the station, the vast world rushed to their faces, the boundless snow, the mountains lying across the sky, and the sense of loneliness brought by the emptiness and grandeur came to their hearts irrepressibly.

Fang Wuxian can be regarded as well-informed, but he can't help but sigh at the majesty and magic of nature. Su Yan didn't sigh for a long time, but like a tour guide, he pointed out the surrounding scenic spots to Fang Wuxie, told interesting stories about the plateau, etc., turning a search trip into a sightseeing tour.

Driving on the plateau, playing is a bright one. There is no end in sight to the road that is still good to walk, the sky is very high, and the clouds are very white. When the sky is high and the clouds are faint, you will feel that the person himself is very small, but the mind and the vast world extend to infinity.

Fang Wuxian thanked Su Yan for walking with him from the bottom of his heart at this time. In this lonely world, there are two people walking together and one person on the road, and the mood is completely different. Walking in such a world, one will become longing for tranquility and become more lonely. When two people walk at the same time, they can feel unprecedented relaxation and the joy of integrating their body and mind into nature.

After driving for nearly two hours, I saw that the snow-capped mountains in the distance were gradually approaching, and a small town appeared in front of me, with a light box in front of the town, with the pattern of blue sky and white clouds, yak and goat, which read "Welcome to the first stop of the grassland - Heka".

"Let's take a break in this town, check the car, and fill up the gas along the way. Although there is still a place to refuel ahead, this month, if the tanker truck does not arrive, we will be miserable. ”

Su Yan is not good at purchasing equipment for entering the mountain, but he is very professional as a guide. Fang Wuxian couldn't help asking, "Have you been here before?" ”

"Of course, my sister and I came once every two years ago. Otherwise, how can I guess that they entered Kunlun from Maduo! Su Yan entered the gas station with his head held high.

Fang Wuxian only understood at this time that when he was in Huzhou, he heard Guan Li say that Su Fei and Chen Wen were in Kunlun Mountain, and the first thing he thought of was to enter the mountain from the Kunlun Pass, but Guan Li instructed him to enter Kunlun from Maduo to the west, and this information must have come from Su Yan's mouth.

It seems that Su Yan has been silently helping him, how to repay this kind of kindness!

Fang Wuxian could only shake his head and sigh, and followed Su Yan into the house.

It's more of a mix of a grocery store and a restaurant than a gas station, with counters and two round tables. To Fang Wuxie's surprise, there were four big men sitting around one of the round tables.

These four men were full of beards, and their arms were still open in the cold, revealing strong pectoral muscles, and on the table was a large bowl of wine except for the steaming leg of mutton. The four of them saw that Su Yantiao was smooth, and whistled at her very presumptuously.

Su Yan's face changed, and he turned around to pass, but was hugged by Fang Wuxie's shoulder.

Fang Wuxian ignored the four big men and said to the middle-aged woman at the counter, "Boss, please fill up the gas." ”

The middle-aged woman said apologetically, "Yo, you see, it's really unfortunate that the oil is out of oil today." I guess it can be delivered in the evening, why don't you two wait? No, there is sheep stewed in the pot, come to a bowl of mutton soup to relieve fatigue. ”

"No, we're still on our way."

Fang Wuxian pulled Su Yan and walked out, and a big man said loudly: "Brother, I have an oil drum in the car, give you some!" Come and warm up after a drink. ”

Fang Wuxian smiled at the big man: "Thank you for this big brother, there is still enough fuel in the car to go, so it won't be troublesome." ”

Fang Wuxian arched his hand towards the four of them, turned around and walked out of the house, got in the car and left.

Su Yan whispered: "What are you anxious about, the mutton soup here is good, drink a bowl and then leave." ”

"If you don't want to get into trouble, don't drink the mutton soup."

Su Yan frowned and said, "Those four people have a problem?" ”

Fang Wuxian said: "I don't know if they have a problem, but the female boss has a problem, she still has a faint smell of gasoline, it should be less than five minutes after filling the gas, how can it be so coincidental, to the point that we have no gas." ”

"Oh well! Anyway, we are not short of oil, the fuel tank has only dropped two levels, and there are still fifty liters in the oil drum. It's more than enough to get to Mado. ”

After driving out of the town, I can feel that the road in front of me is slowly rising, and the snow-capped mountains are getting closer and closer, as if they are going to press head-on, but I don't feel anything while walking, and soon I arrived at the Heka Pass, which is marked by the iron sign of the mountain pass as 3,900 meters.

The prayer flags fluttered in the wind, and Fang Wuxian parked the car on the side of the road, standing in the mountain pass and looking around. Although I had seen the plateau and the snow-capped mountains on the horizon before, the snow-capped mountains appeared in a line at that time, and the field of vision was no more than 180 degrees. But looking around at this time, the 360 degrees are full of snow-capped mountain shadows, which feels a bit like watching a spherical movie again, and like completely devoting yourself to the mother nature.

Su Yan introduced: "If it is in summer, there will be a green mountain under the mountain, mixed with dots of sea, and the scene will be like being in heaven." ”

When the two got into the car, Su Yan took out snacks and occasionally stuffed some into Fang Wuxie's mouth, which could be regarded as lunch.

The wheels are rolling, and we arrive at the warm spring at one o'clock in the afternoon. The altitude of Nuanquan is more than 4,000 meters, and the physical fitness of the two is far beyond ordinary people, but they also have weak altitude sickness.

This time, there was no special situation with refueling, Fang Wuxian checked the car by the way, and found no problems.

This car is a second-hand Toyota Land Cruiser that Fang Wuxian bought in Xining, with a total mileage of less than 40,000 kilometers, and the car is still in relatively good condition. In particular, in recent years, the state has invested a lot of money in the roads in the western region, and the road conditions are even better than those in the eastern and western regions.

The two rested for a while, and then hit the road again.

Not long after leaving, Su Yan's brows furrowed, and he turned his head to look back.

"What's wrong?" Fang Wuxian also looked behind him through the rearview mirror, only to see an SUV chasing after him.

"The voices of the people in the car are somewhat familiar, as if they were the four people I met in Heka."

Hearing Su Yan say this, Fang Wuxian was really speechless. He knew that Su Yan's hearing was superb, but he didn't expect it to be so superb. Hundreds of meters away and two roaring cars, she could even hear the people inside.

The car got closer and closer, Su Yan suddenly laughed, and snorted: "It seems that you guessed wrong before, it's hard to say whether the owner of the gas station deceived or not, but these four people have already targeted us, and they are discussing when to do it?" Why don't you lure them to a remote place and solve it in advance? ”

At this time, the car was already behind their car, turning to overtake. Fang Wuxian slowed down and let them pass, and said to Su Yan with a smile: "It's just robbing the thieves, how can I have time to ignore them!" It's been more than half the way, and they haven't done it, so they must have to wait. Let's do our thing, they choose a good location, it is estimated that no one will notice, and when the time comes, it will be much more convenient for us to make a move. ”

"You've got a lot of intestines." Su Yan glanced at him, and he didn't know whether to praise or bury him, anyway, he agreed with Fang Wuxie's plan.
