Chapter 378: Up the Mountain
Arhan was a medium-sized native in his forties, wearing a shabby black leather jacket, a beard and a local hat, typical of the locals. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looks very honest and reliable, he also has his own team of jade pickers in the mountains, and even this team is quite famous among the jade pickers. Their jade picking team, not to mention that they can get rich every time they enter the mountain, but it is true that basically as long as they enter the mountain, they will not return empty-handed.
When he saw Su Li and his party gathering, Arhan frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything. In Alhan's eyes, Su Li's group is not fun, but they went to this deep mountain and old forest to find hardships for themselves, they don't know the suffering of the world, and they have nothing to do. The hardships of entering the mountains are not as simple as sightseeing by car, but the hardships that need to be measured by jade pickers step by step by climbing the mountains and wading through the water. If it was so easy to mine jade, and the beautiful jade was all over the mountains, this jade would not be so cherished, and they, the jade pickers, should have made a fortune a long time ago. Originally, what did they want to do was not ****, but the person in charge of the jade they often cooperated in acquiring their jade found him and entrusted this group of children to him to help take care of them. For the sake of the previous friendship, the relationship will continue in the future, and they are willing to pay him a medium-income equivalent to one time he enters the mountain, so he will also agree.
Since he has complied, he is very sure to do his best, and people must not do anything wrong, otherwise Allah will punish them. However, look at the appearance of this group of children. Maybe he would come back after walking two steps into the mountain, so he wouldn't say anything.
The people who entered the mountain all carried their own bags, and Su Li's group was no exception. It's just that, compared to the Nuoda backpacks that are often one meter high and weigh fifty or sixty pounds, their ones are scattered and made into three or four packages, and then each person is given a carry-on backpack to contain their own personal belongings, and each person is responsible for a little, plus in addition to some necessary supplies. They don't carry any extra stuff, which reduces the burden. After all, they are a line of people. There are only two men, and the rest are girls' families, and it is not realistic to let these little girls carry fifty or sixty pounds of belongings by themselves.
"Before going into the mountains. There are some things I want to stress again. Entering the mountain is not playing, it is very hard, there are jade pickers who stay in the mountain forever every year to accompany the mountain god and never come back, these two years of scientific and technological progress, the equipment can keep up, but it is not without danger. Therefore, after entering the mountain, you must listen to my arrangement. You can't just leave me! This is also the reason why Arhan frowned, which is compared to the average jade picker. They are too different from jade pickers.
This group of children from big cities definitely has no experience in the mountains, and, looking at the attitude of the person in charge, the identity of this group of children may not be simple, if something happens to them in the mountains, the consequences will definitely be unbearable for him. Therefore, Arhan couldn't help but reiterate the emphasis he had placed on when he took over the burden. Otherwise, the person in charge should have explained clearly, so there is no need for him to waste too much saliva.
"Okay, Uncle Arhan, don't worry, we will definitely obey the order and listen to the command, and we will definitely follow you, and we will never say anything!" Yan Nuo also knew that Arhan was for their good, and the image of their group was indeed uneasy, so Yan Nuo, on behalf of everyone, did not say much nonsense to justify, and directly patted his chest to assure.
After receiving a definite guarantee, Arhan led the group of children to have a simple collective breakfast, and each of them received an army-green single-room crossbody bag, which contained Xinjiang naan cakes and air-dried meat strips that could be stored for a long time, and an old-fashioned military kettle filled with water, which was the ration for entering the mountain. For Su Li and his party, apart from the kettle and water, those hard naan jerky that can almost smash people as weapons, they have no interest. Comparatively speaking, they are more willing to eat Bigu Dan with a pear configuration, which is nutritious and convenient, and the taste is good! It's just that everyone is queuing up in an orderly manner to receive it, and they also need the water inside, so there is nothing special.
After receiving the final distribution of supplies, a group of people followed Arhan to the boarding pad in an orderly manner to board the bus waiting on the side, sitting on the bus, Arhan told again: "The car is about to start, after the start, you must remember, no matter what the outsiders shout, you can't turn back, this is the rule of jade pickers!" ”
Touching the bamboo mat mat laid on the seat cushion of the minibus under his hand, Alhan thought silently in his heart, originally they were jade pickers, sitting in the same big truck with military tents as in the back, it is estimated that it is thanks to the blessing of these children, this time they are fortunate to sit in this comfortable minibus. This also shows that this group of children really can't tolerate any accidents, otherwise, they really can't afford the consequences.
The car starts slowly and goes straight up along the ring road, along which you can see snow-capped peaks towering into the clouds. Sure enough, no matter what the jade pickers in the car greeted the people who saw them off, no one looked back, they all restrained themselves and only looked forward. One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, one side of the water and soil, and there is also one side of the rules!
After the car went up for more than three or four hours, it arrived at the transfer station where the jade pickers entered the mountain. This is a large field with a simple two-story cement building at one end of the field.
"The car can only send us here, and further on, only people can go up by themselves, and the car can't go up or pass! Would you like to have something to eat, this is the last meal for those who enter the mountains! Arhan pointed to the rudimentary concrete buildings that had swarmed the jade miners who had gotten out of the car. This is already a place at an altitude of three or four thousand meters in the mouth of those experts, and you have to wear thick clothes here, so the car naturally can't get up, not to mention, the narrowest road up the mountain in front may only allow one person to pass!
"Uncle Arhan, let's go eat, we have something to bring, let's wait here for you to have dinner and set off together!" The eyesight of the people is good, and the eyes are very sharp to see the jar of soup and steamed bread or cakes that those people snatched out, and the people who are not very hungry and have little appetite do not plan to grab food from them.
These city children don't look down on these soup and rice, but they don't know that this is the last hot meal after entering the mountain! Arhan didn't try to persuade them not to wander around, so he went to eat first. (To be continued.) )
