The fat man put down the Tibetan knife in his hand and shook his head, "I don't know either." ”

"Didn't I see you looking at the tattoo on his back, what else did you say that it's you again, you don't know?" I looked at him suspiciously.

The fat man sighed, "I really don't know about him, but I do know the tattoos on his body." In many of our projects, especially some of the more confidential ones. Our people often have a vague sense that someone is watching, and the organization has checked, but there is no result or only some clues to the wolf tooth tattoo, I have heard that it seems to have been captured alive in one of your brother's operations, but I don't know the specifics. ”

I touched my chin and sighed, and the fat man told me some of his guesses about the wolf's tooth tattoo, and some of them didn't. Then he slapped his thigh and got up and went to sleep.

At noon the next day, we arrived at the county seat of Motuo, and found the location of the hotel in Motuo along the address of the fat man. The fat man also joked to the proprietress and said, "You're really big enough." ”

We had just arrived at the door of the "Grand Hotel of Motuo", and there was already a group of people at the door where to carry equipment. The fat man went up and said hello a few times to explain his intention, and from the crowd came out a middle-aged man with glasses, who looked like an old pedant and stood up, this person introduced himself as Xue Ning. He is a self-acquaintance, and when he saw me standing in front of the fat man, he rushed up to shake hands with me, and even asked the fat man who this little brother was, and the fat man said that I was Consultant Lu.

After the introduction, Xue Ning searched around behind us, "Eh, where is our little ginger?" ”

I was about to answer him about our two days, but before the words came out of my mouth, the fat man preemptively said: "Jiang Huai, he has other things to deal with, and he can't come." Isn't he going to make up for it? After the fat man finished speaking, he looked at me, and I grinned at Xue Ning.

Xue Ning let out a long sigh, and after chatting with something else, he said, "You guys just arrived and take a rest first, and after we finish cleaning up here, I will inform you to have a meeting together and plan to leave tomorrow." ”

The fat man and mine were about to ask where to go, when someone shouted Xue Ning behind them. He replied and said in detail in a meeting. He hurried behind him.

Our fat man looked at each other for a while, and I asked the fat man why he didn't tell him about the fake Jiang Huai, and he pulled me down and looked inside to see that no one was paying attention to this side before saying, "They can replace Jiang Huai, and I don't know the people in this team." I'm afraid that there are still people like fake Jiang Huai in the expedition team. Judging by this situation, they should be going into the mountain again, and the purpose of those is not clear to us, so we will hide and see the situation first. ”

I kind of thought the fat man was making a bit of a fuss, but I didn't say anything. Soon after, someone came and called us to a meeting. The meeting took place in a sun room built on the rooftop. This is the restaurant of the hotel, I don't know if it was because I didn't get my meal or for some other reason, there was no one here except for the dozen or so people sitting around.

Xue Ning saw us coming over and introduced us one by one, I thought that the person in charge here was Xue Ning, but it turned out to be a meeting presided over by an old man who looked slightly older than Xue Ning. Through Xue Ning's introduction, I knew that his name was Hu Guangwen, and everyone else on the side called him Professor Hu.

The meeting lasted for an hour, and he first introduced the specific situation and speculation, and then assigned the work and made a plan. Not all the people sitting here went in, plus me and the fat man, there were also Professor Hu Xue Ning, and six other people, plus a Tibetan guide. There were eleven people in total.

The plan is tentatively for us to set off early tomorrow morning, enter by another mountain road, and follow the Brahmaputra River to the location where the last message from the previous expedition team came, and then make plans when we get there. Then they checked the equipment again, and there was nothing for us.

We went downstairs and went to find the proprietress of the inn, and I was speechless for a while, and then I went out of the hotel, and a long and strange mountain road on the distant mountains, through the hustle and bustle, extended to the sky. Faintly, you can see pilgrims kowtowing their heads on the mountain road.

In the 8th century, Guru Padmasambhava, the founder of the Nyingma sect, was invited by the Tibetan King Trisong Detsen to visit Tibet in search of the sacred land of the immortal mountains. And named this place Baimagang, and later there were Tibetan scriptures according to the meaning of Guru Padmasambhava called this place the Buddha's Pure Land Baimagang, Baimagang is the meaning of the hidden holy place like a flower.

The next morning we met in front of the hotel, because of the terrain and the car could not get in, so we went in on foot, and the equipment was carried by horses. It's just that this time we can ride horses. When I came out, there were already a dozen local bantam horses at the door, but they were much larger than the two in Wangdui two days ago.

The fat man looked at the horses and smiled, "Fat man, I finally don't have to walk through mountains and rivers this time." At this time, someone laughed behind us and said, "Little fat brother, your size, our horse is a little stressed." "That person is also one of the ten people who are going into the mountain this time, and he introduced it yesterday, and it should be called Tian Xiaowen. The fat man glanced at him, ignored him, and walked away from the horse. Tian Xiaowen looks like he should be in his twenties, because he should be about the same as me. When he saw that the fat man ignored him, he left, still smiling and grinning, and said in the direction of the fat man: "Hey, all jokes." The fat man didn't know whether he didn't hear it or pretended not to pay attention to it.

Tian Xiaowen turned to me again after asking, introduced himself, shook hands with me and asked; "I don't know what kind of research Consultant Lu is engaged in." I was speechless and didn't know how to answer. At this moment, fortunately, Xue Ning, who was standing on the side of the horse team, was calling everyone to gather, Tian Xiaowen looked over there and didn't wait for me to answer, so he said, "Let's go." So I walked with him towards the meeting place.

The Tibetan guide has also arrived, and he is a local Menba named Raba. Collecting medicine in the mountains along the Brahmaputra River all year round, the men of the Menba tribe are very strong, and he is no exception, with dark skin at 1.8 meters. He has a unique face shape for the locals, but to my surprise is that his Chinese is very good, and I later heard that he has been doing medicinal medicine business with Han people all year round. In the past two years, he has also started to guide some tourists who go into the mountains to play.

Xue Ning and Professor Hu took turns to say something about paying attention to safety and the like, and we began to load the equipment that had been sorted out on the horse's back, more than a dozen pack bags were tied to the horse's back, and a dozen bags were carried by a total of seven horses, we were all one person and one horse, this horse was rented from the Tibetans, and they usually transported goods to the villages in the mountains or transported stone and building materials to the construction site, and the limbs and thighs were very strong, and although our packers were large, they were much lighter than the stone building materials they usually transported.

Rabah shouted in front of him and the horse team set out in the direction of the city, and soon we set out on the path along the river, a roaring Brahmaputra River, the river was like a knife and an axe, the river swam under the valley, and our horse team moved slowly on the path halfway up the mountain, where the drop from the water was very large, fifty or sixty meters. I rode on horseback and looked out at the raging river below the cliffs, and I couldn't help but be amazed.

On the morning of the third day after departure, we crossed the Brahmaputra River and reached the south side of the Brahmaputra River, and since then we have deviated from the Brahmaputra Gorge and headed towards the Himalayas on the south side. The natural landscape is not like the low shrubs along the Brahmaputra River, but it is a bit like the subtropical climate around Metuo, and the trees began to densely pack, and it was not long before we were completely in a primeval forest.
