"Brother, why did you come to this grazing?" Zhao San carefully cut a piece of boiled mutton with a knife and handed it to the old shepherd.

The old shepherd was not polite, took out the Tibetan knife he carried with him, inserted the mutton, chewed it and said slowly: "No way, who told the old man to grow up in this place since he was a child, and it is difficult to leave his homeland!" ”

"That's not convenient." Zhao San chattered.

Zhang Meng also took the opportunity to say: "So, uncle, you must be very familiar with this place?" ”

"I don't dare to say that I am familiar, I still know it within a radius of thousands of kilometers." Hearing Zhang Meng say this, the old man said proudly: "The sky of Qinghai-Tibet, the land of Qinghai-Tibet, and the gods here, I know it very well." ”

The crowd sat around the old shepherd and nodded their heads.

"You must be a tourist adventurer again, I'm not wrong, sir?"

"Dude, you're not mistaken." Zhao San flatteringly gave the old shepherd a thumbs up. "Brother, tell me about the terrain here! It's also good for our group of tourists to increase their knowledge. ”

Zhao San said that there was an old brother, and the old Tibetan was full of joy, and he pointed out excitedly at the moment: "The mountain behind you is called Qimantag Mountain, but it is only a branch of the Kunlun Mountains, and the main vein is behind this river valley......"

"River Valley?" Zhao San asked.

"Yes, there is a river that originates in the Kunlun Mountains and flows through here." The old shepherd was brief and did not seem to be willing to mention the Nalengrad Gorge, explaining: "I heard geologists from the mainland say that it is precisely because of the dry and hot air of the Qaidam Basin that is blocked by the Qimantag Mountain behind you, and the water vapor of the Indian Ocean passes through from the east, that the unique climate here is caused. ”

"Well, the rainfall is really abundant." Zhang Shaotu nodded.

"In fact, there are lakes dotted here and there, and now it is summer and autumn, and the pastures are abundant, which is simply the best gift from God." Speaking of the environment here, the old shepherd looked proud.

"Uncle, since this valley is rich in water and grass, why don't you go to the valley to graze?" Zhang Shaotu asked suspiciously.

"Ugh." Hearing the crowd ask about the valley behind him several times, the old shepherd's expression suddenly became nervous, and the mutton in his hand was thrown aside, and he got up to leave.

Seeing this scene, Zhao San and Zhang Meng hurriedly got up to stop them, and whispered: "Brother, don't go!" I haven't finished drinking this wine yet. ”

"This wine...... I don't drink anymore. The old shepherd hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "I see that you are looking for me to drink wine and eat meat, but it is just a pretense, and the real purpose is to get out of the river valley behind me, right?" ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly became embarrassed.

Zhang Meng said slightly apologetically: "The old man blames me, we shouldn't deceive you......"

"It's okay for you to cheat on me." The old shepherd hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It is absolutely impossible to deceive the gods in this devil's valley!" I advise you to go back where you came from, for this Devil's Valley is not where you should be. ”

Hearing the old shepherd's warning, Zhang Meng pleaded and said, "Old man, can you tell us about this Devil's Valley?" ”

"It's not that I won't tell you." The old shepherd looked nervous: "How many people, how many animals, are all planted here?" Legend has it that the gods of heaven are protecting here, and there is only one word for the fate of trespassers. ”

Before the old shepherd could blurt out the word "death", Zhang Meng continued in a sincere tone: "We are not poachers, nor explorers, but state workers who have important things to do, and we are really forced to do so. ”

"Yes, brother, tell us what kind of dangerous method is here, maybe this kid is too timid to go in after hearing this." Zhao San said.

Hearing Zhao San say this, the old shepherd seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly nodded and said: "It's not that I don't tell you, you are in Qinghai-Tibet, it doesn't matter where you go to explore, even if it is Na Hoh Xili, you can have a way to live, but if you want to cross here, you can only have a dead end!" ”

"Uncle, tell me, how is it a dead end." Seeing the old shepherd's spitting, Zhang Shaotu also asked.

"Do you know what this valley is called?" The old shepherd asked.

Zhang Meng nodded honestly and said: "The mountain patrol team of Ke Ke Xili told us that this river valley is called the Devil's Valley. ”

"You actually know that from the mountain patrol team? No wonder you still insist on ......" The old shepherd obviously knew the prestige of the Hoh Xil Mountain Patrol Team, and immediately looked at Zhang Meng and the others in puzzlement.

"We really have something important to do." Zhang Meng said with a little embarrassment: "Originally, Brother Zaba wanted to take us through here. ”

"Dzhaba Dorje?" The old shepherd's expression changed, and he was no longer as stubborn as before, but sat down again, thought for a moment, and then said: "Since you are our friends of the heroes of Kekexili Zaba, I should have explained it to you, old man. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Meng's eyes suddenly lit up.

It seems that Dzhaba Dorje has a high prestige here, and fortunately, he has already said hello before.

"Since you know that this place is called the Devil's Valley, then you must not know the terrifying legends here." The nomadic old farmer recalled with a horrified expression: "In our case, the shepherds would rather let the cattle and sheep starve to death on the Gobi Desert because they had no fat and grass to eat, rather than let them enter the ancient and silent deep valley of the Kunlun Mountains. Because there's an eerie smell of death here......"

Speaking of this, the old shepherd couldn't help but shudder.

"Brother, come and have a drink to warm up." Zhao San handed over the last pot of cold warming wine that he had hidden in the package.

The old shepherd was not polite, drank to the end, and slowly recounted with the strength of the wine: "A few years ago, that is, in eighty-three years, a group of horses from the Alar Ranch strayed into the Devil's Valley because they were greedy for the fat grass in the valley. The leading herdsman entered the Devil's Valley in order to find the horses, and after a few days, no one came out, and the last group of horses that had strayed ran back, but the herdsman's body was also found. I heard that the herdsman died in a terrible state, his clothes were torn, his feet were barefoot, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, and his shotgun was still in his hand. ”

"Could it be that you have encountered some poachers?" Zhang Meng asked.

"No, no." The old shepherd shook his head and continued: "This is the most puzzling part, the herdsman has no traces of being attacked all over his body. Later, the geological team from the country was also inexplicably attacked. ”

"Oh?" Zhang Meng frowned.

"It was a very hot summer, but there was a sudden snowstorm in the Devil's Valley......"

"It's not surprising that the climate is unpredictable and snowy." Zhang Shaotu said.

"This guy is right." The old shepherd put down the flask in his hand, sighed lightly, and said, "It's strange that the entire geological team disappeared the next day!" ”
