Chapter 57: Butter Tea
After getting the location of the first gate of the Great Snow Mountain, the little carpenter was not polite at all, and directly set fire to the secret den of the Lan Agency, including the entire warehouse, and the Japanese spies inside.
Whether it is a civilian or a military personnel.
The Japanese had been active for many years, and the maps they had drawn and the markings of military targets were burned except for a few that were kept by the little carpenter.
Of course, the little carpenter is not sure if the Japanese have backups elsewhere, or if they have already returned to China......
But none of this is what he is concerned about.
He did it just by himself, and when he was done, he left.
The fire burned overnight, and it was not until the early morning of the next day that the fire subsided, and when people opened the secret room, they found a large pile of charred corpses inside.
At noon, Gu Xicheng came to the door, and when the two chatted, they talked about it, and Dong Qixi, because he was well-informed, told Gu Xicheng that that place was very likely to be a secret base of the Japanese.
The dead people also seem to be Japanese.
Regarding this matter, the Japanese consulate seems to be protesting with Liu Shuai, so that this side must give an explanation.
After all, at that time, except for some more prescient people who could see that "there must be a war between China and Japan," most people felt that there was a constraint from the international community, and that after the Japanese wanted the three eastern provinces, they would not go further.
Even if it has more territorial claims, it will have to digest the three eastern provinces before it can become nervous.
As for the Southwest......
It's such a remote place, so you don't have to worry too much.
Few people can realize that there are such detailed map marks and mapping data in the lair of this Lan agency like a little carpenter, and find it "steadily, accurately, and ruthlessly".
Even Dong Qixi and Gu Xicheng didn't have such a sense of distress, so naturally they couldn't think too much, and after chatting about this, Gu Xicheng suddenly asked: "By the way, where is that kid surnamed Gan now?" โ
Dong Qixi said: "That guy disappeared after making trouble yesterday......
After saying this, both fell silent.
After a while, Gu Xicheng said in a low voice: "Do you think, is it possible that that guy has already left Jinguan City and gone to Daxue Mountain?" โ
Dong Qixi was a little frightened and said, "Won't it?" โ
Gu Xicheng sighed and said, "Who knows? In this case, I'll rush back first, I don't know if it's too lateโas for you, send a flying pigeon back, whether it is or not, you have to wake up......"
The two old rivers and lakes were disturbed by this series of events, and at this time, the little carpenter and Gu Baiguo embarked on the road to the west.
The little carpenter got two horses and galloped all the way, very freely.
Just when Gu Xicheng was talking to Dong Qixi, Gu Baiguo was also having another conversation with the little carpenter.
Topics are another key to entering the Daisetsuzan Mountains.
That's the Snow Mountain Order.
The group of snow monsters guarding the gateway of the Great Snow Mountain, as well as the Snow Mountain that can collapse at any time, are the natural gateways of the Great Snow Mountain.
It is the existence of this thing that makes the Great Snow Mountain Pulse able to ignore the little carpenter's request, and appear extremely arrogant.
Because the main decision-makers of the Great Snow Mountain did not believe that the little carpenter could kill the mountain.
That place is like a moat.
Mortals can't reach it.
Gu Baiguo originally came out of that place, so he naturally had a deeper understanding, so even if the little carpenter found the entrance to the mountain gate of the Great Snow Mountain from Lan Organ, he was still extremely worried.
How to get up the mountain, that's the biggest problem.
Rushing all the way to the place, if you are not careful, you will be buried directly under the avalanche, and then the matter will be troublesome.
Gu Baiguo is a girl who has been extremely sensible since she was a child, although she is extremely eager to rescue her mother from the mountain, but she does not want to cost the life of the little carpenter.
The little carpenter smiled at her question, and then said to her, "Do you believe me? โ
Hearing the other party's words, Gu Baiguo hated it so much, and had the idea of beating up his brother-in-law.
But she finally held back.
Then there was a trace of sweet emotions in her heart, which made the smile on her face unconsciously increase.
After another three days, the two horses were fostered in a Yi village, and the family was very enthusiastic about the arrival of the two outsiders, the little carpenter and Gu Baiguo, and invited them to eat barley noodles and serve them milk tea made from yak milk.
The villagers even sang melodious songs all night long, making them feel the simplicity and beauty of the Yi people.
Then the two went into the mountains.
The little carpenter came to this place for the first time, and walked along the mountain range into the depths of the mountains, where the foothills were densely forested and full of animals, including the common antelopes, hares, goats, and deer, as well as yaks, foxes, monkeys, and even leopards and tigers.
In addition to these animals, there are more complex and diverse plants, in addition to the spruce, fir, rhododendron, birch, and even the extremely rare, difficult to see outside Kangding magnolia, yew, wheat hanging fir, large-leaved willow, peach seven, water blue tree and other trees.
As for the plants and herbs, they are even more abundant.
Along the way, even if he was in a hurry, Gu Baiguo picked many rare and rare herbs in the outside world.
If it weren't for the little carpenter's urging, this little girl wouldn't even want to leave.
It is no wonder that the Daixue Mountain Wing chose to set up camp in such a place, in addition to the geographical advantages, the diversity of species here is probably the biggest reason.
However, the further you go, the higher and higher the altitude, the surrounding scenery has begun to change, but you can see the snow-capped peaks, as well as large areas of glaciers, according to the places marked by the Japanese, the two continue to walk forward, but see steep slopes, bare rocks, what ice tables and ice chairs, ice lakes, ice caves, ice mushrooms, glacier city gates, etc., countless wonders make people dizzy.
The most exaggerated is a huge ice waterfall up to 1,000 meters high, sloping from above the clouds, making people's hearts sway, and feeling the magic of creation in the world.
Walking in such a white world, people feel like ants on white paper, and they feel more and more insignificant.
But even so, the little carpenter and Gu Baiguo did not flinch.
Because Gu Baiguo's memory has become clearer and clearer.
This place is the snowy mountain that she once dreamed of.
Yes, yes, the Great Snow Mountains are located between the peaks of the mountains that the locals call "Gongga......
Gu Baiguo's emotions gradually became excited, and the little carpenter became more and more calm.
He looked at the world coldly, constantly looking at the Japanese survey and mapping data, and comparing various references, trying to find a path through the complex mountains and valleys to the gateway to the Daisetsuzan Mountains.
As night fell, they came to a leeward outlet of bare rock, and saw several families with large flocks of sheep.
These were mountain herders, and they had encountered several places along the way.
These isolated herders, some of whom are Tibetans, live a very simple life, and they will save their savings for many years, and then one day, take everything with them and walk to Lhasa, the holy land of their hearts......
As it was getting dark, the little carpenter decided to spend the night there.
The two came to the tent of the front family, shouted twice, and someone inside answered, and then lifted the leather curtain and walked out of a person.
The man, who was wearing a sheepskin jacket and wrapped all over his body, glanced at the two of them, and asked angrily, "What are you doing?" โ
The little carpenter couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that although the other party had a strong accent, he still spoke Chinese.
He's afraid he won't be able to communicate.
If you can communicate, you can say anything......
He coughed, and briefly talked to the man, saying that they wanted to stay here for the night, and that it would be better if they could have a bite to eat.
Of course, in return, he can give the corresponding house money.
The man looked at them and said, "You're going to the Great Snow Mountain for medical treatment, right?" โ
The little carpenter didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to mention this, and he was a little surprised, but he also said: "Yes, yes, my sister is seriously ill, and I heard that there is a miracle doctor on this mountain, so I came to try my luck......"
When the man heard this, he lifted the curtain of the door and said, "Come in." โ
At night, it was so cold on the mountain, but the tent was burning with dung fuel, and it was as warm as spring, the little carpenter and Gu Baiguo walked in and found that in addition to the men, there was also a woman with a red face but very rough, and two little boys.
The boy, who looked like he was seven or eight years old, looked at him with swarthy eyes and a face full of curiosity.
The other, one or two years old, crawled around on the blanket on the ground.
The man led the two to sit down by the fire, called the woman next to him to come and make a meal, and then said to the little carpenter: "If you want to see a doctor, don't go up the mountain, there are monsters up there, they will eat people, and there will be avalanches at every turnโif you really need them, you can stay here for a few days, and the divine doctors on the mountain will sometimes come down to collect medicine, and when the time comes, you can see them......
He touched a dry tobacco pouch and smoked it while chatting with the little carpenter, talking for a while, but telling them to wait a little while he went out to get something.
After the man left, his wife got some barbecue jerky for the little carpenter and Gu Baiguo, and some tsamba to eat, and after a while, the man came back, brought a teapot, and took two wooden cups.
The other party poured it for the two of them, and then said: "They still have some butter tea there, I brought it to you, taste it......"
The little carpenter saw that the man's eyes were full of anticipation, so he reached over, picked up the cup, saw the milky white liquid inside, and was about to taste it, but was stopped by Gu Baiguo.
She stopped the little carpenter and said with a smile: "No need, we have water with us......"
