Volume 1 The Quicksand Gods Chapter 12 The Night Before Departure

There are a few cars that came to pick us up are almost all jeeps, the fat man just suddenly rushed to the bathroom, ran to find the bathroom alone, delayed some time, I waited for him, and finally the two of them got into the only car, the fat man came back and saw that there were only one or two cars left, and immediately looked embarrassed, sighed: "Eh, the car is a car, after sitting in the car for so long, it should be able to adapt." ”

The fat man thought that he had been on the train for several days, and now he should not get motion sickness in any car, until the fat man got on the train, as soon as the engine started, the fat man made a retching state, and hurriedly beckoned the driver to get off, I hurriedly comforted the fat man: "It's okay, it's just a matter of a while, since it has been arranged here, then you have to obey the organization's arrangement, just sleep." ”

The fat man looked a little aggrieved, in the end he still thought too much, thinking that he could overcome his motion sickness by taking more cars, and the fat man saw that the car in front of him had a distance from us, so he had to give up the idea in his heart, and only by choosing to sleep could he make himself less uncomfortable.

The fat man and I slept dimly on the train before, but I didn't expect to be tortured like this in the end, and after nearly half an hour, the fat man fell asleep completely.

I had no intention of falling into a deep sleep again, so I had to look out the window, although it was barely late at night, but fortunately there were starlit street lamps on both sides, and since we were now in a shantytown on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar, I looked at the past, and the contrast between the uneven buildings on the left and right sides was like a slum on one side.

Because the extremely low temperature makes the road surface freeze, the vehicles are driving very slowly along the way, and after more than half an hour, we are out of the shantytown on the outskirts of the city.

The car probably drove for more than an hour, the driver braked and slowly stopped, the fat man may be due to motion sickness, I pushed him several times to push him from the slumber to wake up, maybe because of nausea and dizziness, the fat man who was originally alive and vigorous is now like a withered daylily.

The fat man shook his head a few times and scolded: "His grandmother's, it's finally here, if you don't get it again, I will die in this car mountain today." With that, he pushed open the left-hand door and jumped out.

As soon as I got out of the car, I felt a cold wind blowing from my face, like pine needles pulling over my face, and the chill pierced into the bone marrow and made it painful.

"Are we there?" I followed the light of the car and walked to the Gu Ling, who was standing at the front, and asked.

Gu Ling nodded, and didn't say anything more.

The leading few people pulled open a white wooden fence and beckoned us to hurry up, the wind outside was too strong, I quickly walked back to the fat man, and patted the fat man: "It's better, right?" Let's go and sit in the house for a while. ”

The fat man supported his knees with his hands, nodded half-bent, and said, "Let's go, fat man, I don't have anything to do with this car." With that, he followed me into the fence.

Before he reached the door, a middle-aged man of about thirty or forty years old came out of it, dressed in a thick Mongolian costume and wrapped him tightly, his earthy brown cheeks seemed to have been melted by high temperature, and he looked half a head taller than a fat man.

It seems that this should be the guide named Kentmur that Gu Ling they are looking for, this middle-aged man doesn't know if it's because he is too hospitable, as soon as he saw the Gu Ling behind those people, he walked straight over, first bowed to Gu Ling, and then excitedly introduced Gu Ling directly into the yurt, which made me and Professor Zhou a little dumbfounded.

I thought to myself, could it be that the people of Mongolia have become so enthusiastic, but You Hanshan and the other three people who stayed on the side didn't have any expressions, as if they felt that all this was expected and taken for granted.

The height of the yurt door depends on the height of Hana, that is, the wall-like support wooden frame around the yurt, probably because Hana is small in number, the yurt is not very big, and the height of me and the fat man is quite high, so I had to lift the curtain and walk in.

As soon as I stepped into the threshold, I felt a huge warm current rushing straight from the front, and I suddenly felt warm, and the whole person immediately became energetic.

Everyone's face seems to gradually tend to be ruddy, as soon as I enter the door, I saw a Buddha shrine in front of the door, which does not seem to be a Buddha statue, but like an emperor, and can be offered by the Mongolian emperor, I am afraid that it is none other than Genghis Khan, a noble air and not angry and mighty aura, even I can't help but bow to it.

The fat man was no longer so depressed at the moment, looked at me inexplicably, and said, "What kind of nerves are you having at night?" With that, he sat down against the stove in the center of the room.

The felt embroidered all over the room was embroidered with extremely delicate and beautiful patterns, which made people look a little dazzled, and the fat man who had already sat down immediately coughed at me a few times, and motioned to me, "Everyone sit down, where are you standing alone, what are you doing in a daze?"

I smiled embarrassedly at Gu Ling and the others, and immediately sat around the position of the stove, not long after getting off the car, I saw this yurt, and felt that the space inside would be very small, but I didn't expect that it was always 'people can not be disfigured', although it does not look very large, in fact, the internal space may be more than enough for twenty people.

In addition to the two men who led the way, and the seven people in our group, in addition to the middle-aged man in his thirties, there was also a middle-aged woman and child about his age, which made me more sure that he was Kentmoor, and from the later conversation, it was also revealed that he was indeed Kentmoor.

The fat man and I couldn't understand Mongolian, so we had to look at Professor Zhou on the side, I thought that Professor Zhou in addition to paraphrasing the meaning of Kentmur, but also to convey the meaning of the ancient spirit, but Professor Zhou only relayed the meaning of the Kentmur to us, and the fat man and I immediately looked at the ancient spirit on the other side, but I didn't expect that the ancient spirit could also speak Mongolian, and the fat man and I looked at each other.

The fat man looked at me suspiciously, and asked, "Didn't this Nizi start to say that Professor Zhou was looking for a translator?" Isn't she going to do this herself? ”

"Professor Zhou is indeed translating, but Gu Ling didn't say that she wouldn't, didn't you see through her true intentions, she came to Professor Zhou because she didn't want to relay them to a few of us one by one, and the work of relaying them one by one was naturally handed over to Professor Zhou." I shook my head helplessly, I didn't think that Gu Ling would have a lot of people.

After welcoming us, Kentmuir looked at Gu Ling with a heavy face, and in the ensuing conversation, as if to confirm something to her, Professor Zhou told us that Kentmuir said that it would be dangerous if we braved the cold wind and snow to go to the mountains of Hampedun in this season, and he wondered if we had made up our minds to go.

In the conversation between Kentmoor and the Spirit, I seemed to see that Hunter seemed to be extremely concerned about the Spirit's well-being, and I felt that they had known each other for a long time.

After about twenty minutes, during which Professor Zhou told us that Gu Ling's attitude was very resolute, and that he had reached the point where he had to go, and that Kentmoor seemed to be very aware of Gu Ling's character, and then did not dissuade him.

Kentmoor told us that this season, the wind and snow change quickly, if you get lost or encounter danger, it is difficult to get out of trouble, in the Kent Mountains, due to the ban on hunting for several years, dangerous animals such as bears and wolves are also increasing, we must be prepared for everything.

As early as when he was in Beijing, Gu Ling explained to us the destination of this time - Buerhan Heledun Mountain, which is a mountain in historical records, located in the east side of Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia, and belongs to the Kent Mountains, but I don't know which area of the Kent Mountains is located.

But in Kentmul's description, he should have known the exact location of Mount Hinteredun, and arranged all the things we needed for the rest of the trip, and promised to bring us back safely, and then the two seemed to have agreed on everything, and then sent us to the place where we really rested.

Because there was room in the room for two people, and seeing that Professor Zhou was older and very cold outside, it would be good if he walked a few steps less, he left him behind, and the four of us young men and Gu Ling were taken to two other yurts not far away, and I secretly rejoiced in my heart, 'I can finally sleep like a human being.'"
