Chapter Ninety-Four: Stormy Desertion

Li Hao and his entourage did not find many things to replenish their supplies in this town, so they followed the advice of people who were familiar with X-Tibet, and now arrived at Nyingchi, which is a relatively large city in Tibet, with rich materials and complete varieties, because this time I went to Motuo not to go to any danger or enter the tomb, so I didn't bring too many messy things.

After buying in Nyingchi and then returning to Bayi Town, I heard a lot of people from Motuo tell about the hardships on the road, according to these people, they bought a lot of waterproof bags to wrap important items, raincoats and waterproof boots, lighters, leech medicine, salt, compressed biscuits, eggs, beef jerky, chocolate, etc.

First arrived at Pai Township, and from then on, you had to walk all the way to Motuo, and the whole road could only be walked, and there was no road to enter Motuo at all.

There are more than 200 miles from Pai Township to Motuo, and the journey of ordinary people takes more than three days, because the situation and route are not familiar to several people, Li Hao found a local guide in Pai Township, who is a Motuo person, but not Tibetan, but a young man of the Menba tribe.

According to the guide's guidance, they set off from Pai Township early in the morning, because there is Mount Duoxiongla in front of them, and now is the last season before the mountain is closed, so they must climb it before noon, and the locals say that no matter what the weather is like in the morning, the weather will definitely change in the afternoon.

All the way, the speed of the four people was very fast, and the guide was also surprised by their physical fitness, even the big fat man Zhou Yuanhang performed well, and the scenery along the way made several people completely forget the hardships under their feet. There are snow-capped cliffs everywhere, cliffs and waterfalls everywhere, and when you reach an altitude of more than 1,000 meters, you can see patches of snow. The road under your feet is very difficult to walk, and there are few ready-made roads. All of them walked up the stream with gravel blocks, and the boots were filled with water before they had gone far. When I went up to the top of the mountain, it began to rain, the rain was not heavy, everyone fortunately prepared raincoats, but just now it was still hot and sweating, and the temperature at this time dropped to about zero degrees at this time, and it was really experienced in spring and winter.

It was eleven o'clock. Under the guidance of the guide, the four of them crossed the Duoxiongla Mountain, began to walk down, while walking while feeling that the surrounding environment seems to have changed a world, from the cold winter slowly through the spring to the summer, the surrounding vegetation has also become lush, as if in the tropical rainforest, listen to the guide said that this is one of the most intact tropical rainforests in China, so that the four of them are all amazed, feeling that the creator of the world has created this magical place, in the words of the guide to describe this is ten miles of different days. One day walks the four seasons.

In the afternoon, Li Hao and his entourage arrived at a rest point, which is a simple shed, built of wood, covered with a layer of plastic sheeting, although it is simple, but for passers-by who have walked for a day, this is more real than in the hotel.

As soon as I entered the shed, there were many passers-by who were resting here. There were locals who wanted to go out to the mountains to buy and sell things, and there were also those who came on foot, and everyone nodded to each other, and took off their shoes and put them on the side of the fire to bake, which was the first thing everyone did when they entered the shed.

As soon as he sat down, someone asked what he wanted to eat, Luo Daxi asked for a bunch of food in one go, of course, the most important thing was to drink a large cup of warm butter tea, now there is nothing like it can quickly drive away the cold and tired, Li Hao and his party sat around with everyone, talking about what they saw and heard along the road. I also heard about mudslides where and where, and people fell off cliffs a few days ago.

The so-called bed is a 40-centimeter-high bunk with wooden planks on the side of the resting shed, fortunately they prepared their own moisture-proof mats and sleeping bags, otherwise it would be enough to lie on them all night.

The next morning, I had breakfast at the workshop. Everyone has embarked on their own journeys, today's journey is relatively easy, the temperature of the weather is very suitable, but it rained all night last night, the water level of the stream has risen a lot, there are a lot of rapids and rapids along the way, and what is more terrible is that landslides and mudslides can be seen everywhere at any time, and the trembling along the way

The road on the third day is relatively smooth, but there is a section of the road that I walked today is the famous Grasshopper Mountain, the locusts here can be described as dense, before setting off according to the guide's instructions to beat the leggings, wear a hat, and cover the whole body tightly. Everyone focused on taking care of the little wolf, spraying all the medicine that could be used to prevent and control locusts on it, making the little wolf sneeze all the way.

At first, Zhou Yuanhang thought he was smart and put on a raincoat, but was stopped by the young man of the Menba tribe, he said that the grasshopper can often touch the grass from the hem of the raincoat, and it is easy for the locust to crawl onto the body, listening to the guide's words, Luo Daxi looked disdainful, and said in his heart Isn't it just a few small insects, why make such a fuss.

After entering the Grasshopper Mountain, Luo Daxi finally understood what a vampire is, and you can see black locusts adsorbed on the branches and leaves everywhere in the grass on the trees, as long as someone passes by, they fall down, burrow into the collar of the trouser leg to suck blood, everyone is fully prepared, but there are still people who are frequently recruited.

One of them was Luo Daxi, one on his feet for a while, a drill in his neck for a while, and even one began to suck blood on his face, and the lighters and salt prepared at this time came in handy, all to deal with them.

Luo Daxi was rarely afraid of anything, and now he became a coward, completely frightened by these ubiquitous and elusive vampires, and walked through the day's journey tremblingly, until the fourth day, this guy still felt itchy all over, and he was about to walk around when he saw the stream and grass.

At noon on the fourth day, we saw the city of Motuo from afar, and we asked the guide if he knew where there were people who believed in Bon, and the guide looked at us with a puzzled expression, not knowing why we were looking for Bon.

Li Hao looked at the guide who didn't speak, and asked strangely: "What's the matter, you don't know about Bon, right?" ”

The guide hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Of course he knows about Bon, because many tourists think that Bon is a witchcraft, what poisoning, murder and the like, tourists will walk around when they encounter Bon, how can you specifically look for Bon?" ”

Li Hao smiled and said: "How can Bon become a witch religion, it's a joke, we have a question about religion and want to ask some Bon deacons." ”

When the guide heard us say this, he smiled happily and said to us, "I myself am a member of Bon, and our whole village is a Bonist, so you can find me for anything." ”

Li Hao thought for a while and asked, "Then do you know the words of the Zhangxiong Kingdom?" ”

The guide was obviously stunned when he heard this, and said: "We all use Tibetan now, although our Monba people also have their own language, but unfortunately there is no writing, I have heard of the Zhangzhung Kingdom, but I have never seen writing. ”

After listening to the guide's words, Li Hao and the others were slightly disappointed, but they heard the guide say: "There is also an elder of Bon in our village, all of whom are more than 100 years old, and he is the oldest one in our Bon church. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Hao said with some excitement: "That's great, let's go find him now." ”

Hearing that Li Hao was eager to find him, the guide was a little hesitant, Li Hao also saw it in his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything inconvenient? ”

The guide said, "Now is the day of his retreat, and we don't usually alarm him if it's not a big deal." ”

"In this case, let's go to your village first, maybe there are other people who know these words."

The guide hesitated and said, "Okay, you come with me." ”

Saying that, the guide led Li Hao and the four people to a small road, and there was a turbid river in front of him not far, which was the Brahmaputra River, and the turbulent and churning river slapped on the stone walls on both sides of the river and made a huge roar, and the guide pointed to the opposite side of the river and said: "That is our village." ”

A few people looked in the direction of the guide's finger, and there was a village faintly flashing on the opposite side of the river, and the white walls were particularly conspicuous.

"But there's a boat!" Luo Daxi was the first to discover this problem.

"There are no boats, we use slings." As the guide spoke, he walked to a flat place by the river, and as he stood, everyone saw a steel cable slightly thicker than his thumb across the Brahmaputra River, and there were two belts at the end of the ropeway, which should be tied to the belt and slid over.

"That's it?" Luo Daxi and Zhou Yuanhang asked at the same time. The guide nodded with a smile and said, "This is the only passage from our village to the outside world. ”

Li Hao and the four of them looked at the Yarlung Zangbo River under their feet, and then looked at the thin steel cable, they could only see forty or fifty meters, and then the steel cable seemed to be immersed in the river water in the distance, everyone couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva and looked at each other.

Luo Daxi walked in front of the steel cable and shook it, tried the belt again, and said, "How to get it?" I'll come first! ”

The guide looked at the river and said, "Someone is coming from the other side, you just have a look." ”

Sure enough, not long after he finished speaking, he saw a person on the steel cable sliding over, two belts, one tied to the waist, one tied to the back of the head and head, sliding over little by little, and when he got closer, he saw that it was a young man, and it was estimated that he was more than ten years old, and there was a bamboo basket behind him, which contained a lamb, which was to be sold in the county seat.

Seeing that a small child could slide over, Daxi was a little embarrassed, felt embarrassed, felt lost face, and said, "I'll be the first to come." ”

After saying that, Daxi learned to hang himself on it just now, and the guide helped him tie the belt, and said a few words, before the guide finished speaking, Daxi had already begun to slide, and at first because it was down, the speed was relatively fast, and the second half would be more difficult. In less than twenty minutes, Daxi had reached the other side, shouting excitedly to us.

With a successful precedent, Li Hao and Qiangzi were also a little eager to try, only Zhou Yuanhang was still a little hesitant, and his legs trembled at the thought of using this to go to the opposite side.

There are only two shifts today, and there will be one shift at ten o'clock later
