West of Inner Mongolia, Alxa League Airport.

"Isn't it going to the Xilin Gol League in the east?"

"We're going to find someone. ”

"Who?"

"Wizard. ”

"Tell me about him. ”

"His name is Lao Li, although he is not from the Institute of Archaeology, he has cooperated with us on many missions, has rich experience in the field, and all kinds of terrain are difficult for him, and he is very reliable. His family said that he had gone to the Qilian Mountains with a geological team, that the expedition should be almost over, and that we were going to the camp to look for him. To give. Akagi threw a hiking bag to Wood.

"Climbing a mountain?"

"That's right, before tonight, we have to rush to the branch camp of the Qilian Mountains to find Lao Li, time is very important to us and Lao Wang. ”

"Don't have a phone?"

"They are not in the camp, they use satellite communications, which are usually used when there is a dangerous situation, and they are usually turned off, and the power is limited, so they rarely use it except for regularly reporting to the camp to confirm safety. The camp guards told us that the last security report said that the expedition had ended a few days before, and that if all went well, they should be on their way back. ”

Wood opens the hiking bag, which contains trekking poles, hiking shoes, jackets, fleece sweaters, fleece pants, sleeping bags, waterproof bags, water bottles, portable stoves, compressed biscuits, instant noodles...... The wood was stunned, and thought to himself, "Can I only bring tsamba and rice wine?"

Carrying a backpack of more than 30 pounds over several mountains, the wood was tired and panting, but the big man Akagi looked like a nobody, and there was an extra tent in his bag, obviously engaged in such activities for a long time.

"The camp should be almost there, I haven't been here before, I just know that there are four hills down the stream, and there is one. It's afternoon, "Let's have something to eat and then let's go." Akagi proposed.

In the evening, Kiki and Akagi rushed to the camp, "The guy is good, he can keep up with my pace." "After all, wood also grew up in the mountains, and no matter how weak his body is, this mountain road is still not a problem.

"Let's go find Lao Li. ”

When Lao Li returned to the camp in the morning, he had already heard about the situation from the guards, and he didn't care about resting, so he kept sitting outside the camp and watching. Seeing a guy and an uncle approaching the camp from the path, he hurriedly waved his hand.

Wood saw a sloppy uncle, wearing a pair of mud-filled cargo pants with holes in his knees, probably in his fifties, perhaps because of the wrinkles on his face and the long exposure to the sun, which made him look much older than his actual age.

They went down the mountain from another dirt road, Lao Li drove the camp jeep overnight, and the three of them had no intention of looking at the beautiful and vast grassland scenery along the way, and were silent, and there was only one destination in their hearts, the Balar grassland of the Wuzhumuqin Banner of the Xilin Gol League.
