As soon as the fat man finished speaking, Gaji stretched out his hand and pointed at himself.

We naturally understand what he means, and at that moment, the fat man scolded: "You little brat, what is the matter with you, didn't I promise you, this matter is on your fat master and me." That place is not your toilet, you can go to it, and besides, this matter is very important, ask you to find it, you can do what we say. ”

I stood aside and didn't interject, Gaji has his own intention to be our guide, but the actual situation definitely doesn't allow it, this matter is not just as simple as being able to do it, what is going on in the ghost forest, I may know better than anyone else, so as a guide, I must have all kinds of abilities.

Ga Ji's eyes flashed with a hint of Qiyi, I didn't have an idea, I just felt that he was choked by a fat man, and he was a little uncomfortable.

We still carried out the fat man's plan, and Raba's accident was an emergency, but in such a big place, there would not be no one who could enter the mountain. On the one hand, we went to inquire on our own, and on the other hand, we asked Gaji to find a medicine farmer who knew the way into the mountain, or someone who was similar to Raba.

In the next few days, the team was preparing supplies, and the fat man and I went around looking for guides, but until the end, we turned around Motuo in a daze, and did not ask for any news. In my imagination, even if I found some clues, there was hope, but none of them had ever entered the mountains.

On the fourth day after arriving in Motuo, Gaji, who had not been seen for a few days, came to the door. He was not alone, but with him came a little lama in a golden lama's robe.

"Did you find a monk to recite the scriptures to us and bless us with a safe journey?" The fat man looked at the lama for a moment, and then looked at Gaji's body.

"No, he's been to that forest, and he's seen a few black baby statues."

I didn't wait for Gaji to speak, in fact, I already had some premonitions, after a few days of questioning, we were not found by a person who had entered the deep mountains, and now another one suddenly popped out, or a monk who had been emptied, which inevitably made me wonder if Gaji was just to urge us to go in. But I heard the second half...... When I thought about it, I thought that this thing might really be a drama.

"Fatty, according to the level of secrecy on Lao Xue's side, general information won't come out, right? If there is really no omission, then he ......"

I looked up and down again at the lama standing in front of me, judging from the appearance alone, the lama must be in his thirties, but in the plateau, you can't make such a vague conclusion, the intensity of ultraviolet rays affects the skin color, so it is easy to misjudge the age of a person who lives here all the year round.

Although the lama is a little old, he can tell from under his dark skin that he will not be more than thirty years old at most.

The lama blinked a little awkwardly when he noticed that I had been looking at him, and then I turned my gaze to Gaji again: "How did he know and why did he go in?" You have to talk about this, there are a lot of us, and finding a reliable guide is related to dozens of lives, don't blame me for being verbose, if something happens, in that forest, it's not a joke. ”

After I finished asking, the lama just looked at me and smiled, Gaji nodded, turned around and said a long list of Tibetan words to the lama, I didn't understand these words, so I had to wait on the side, the two of them were in front of me, and they exchanged words and gestures for a long time, and then Gaji stopped and turned to me.

"His name is Eshita, and he was sent to the temple from birth, so he can't speak Chinese. He knows where you're looking, he'd been there years ago, and for the reason that it had to do with the master who taught him, he couldn't say, but you can trust him absolutely, he'd seen the stone city and a dozen baby statues carved out of black rock. ”

Through Gaji's translation, I also probably know the situation, I'm afraid that not many people will know the information about the ancient city in the mountains, and there are only a few people who can come back alive when they see it with their own eyes, and now there are only a few, and those information are true, but Lama Jiangxia is reluctant to say why he went in a few years ago, which still makes me feel a little unstable.

"What's not to say, besides, we can't communicate, right?" I deliberately gestured a few times and spoke, and sure enough, the Jiangxia Lama on the side just looked at me and smiled, and really couldn't understand what I was saying.

Gaji nodded at me again, turned to the Jiangxia Lama, this time only said a few words, and then, I heard him say to me and the fat man: "That's their taboo, I don't know the specifics of this, it should be a kind of old lama with a small novice ceremony, most things can't be passed on, so ......" Gaji paused intentionally, and was silent for a while, before he said again: "But you don't have to worry, Jiangxia Lama just needs a sum of money, which is very important to him." As for communication, I can be your interpreter for free. ”

"Hey, you little rabbit cub, you have calculated it early, such a chicken thief ......" The fat man wanted to say the latter words, but when he was about to exit, he found that it was wrong, but he swallowed it back.

I glanced at the fat man, then dealt with Gaji, and pulled the fat man to his back.

"If he wants to say that he is a volunteer laborer, and he has come to Pudu for us sentient beings, then I don't believe his nonsense. But people want money, and it's clear. It's not so easy to be a lama, lack of money, basically impossible, now to make money from this, it is estimated that the problem is in the people themselves. If you want to say that he fishes in troubled waters, then it will not be Gaji stupid, these people are smarter than anyone else. Besides, people have really seen that city, and I don't need to say it, you must have done more than I thought. As far as I'm concerned, let's get rid of the trivial things behind, and if I don't agree at this time, if Gaji really goes in alone, then in the final analysis, it's not us who is in trouble. ”

I turned my head and peeked at Gaji and Jiangxia Lama more than a dozen meters away, the two of them were communicating in Tibetan, but they didn't have the idea that we were here. This reassures me. I looked at the fat man again, and the fat man tapped me on the shoulder a few times.

The fat man didn't make a sound, and went around to greet Gaji and the Jiangxia Lama.

With a guide, our team is complete, and the large army is actually waiting for our news, as soon as the guide who leads the way is determined here, Xue Ning has already begun to arrange the departure for the next day.

This time there is a professional team to plan the route, Xue Ning also seconded the recent satellite image display from the relevant local departments, with the help of the map, we have developed a road with a high probability of not being dangerous, as for Gaji, at that time he found the place where the backpack could not go back again, so whether the route coincides itself is meaningless, but in view of the current relationship, we have also tried to improve some routes, so there will be several zigzag search lines in our plan.

The next morning, we were again a large group of people, and we took a group photo in the same position as usual, and then followed the long mountain road all the way southwest into the mountain.

The first week was basically the same as a year ago. Before crossing the Brahmaputra River, there are obvious stone paths, but after that, only mountain paths remain. We had experienced it before, so we took Xue Ning's kind of pill after entering the normal primeval forest. The first time I took it, I almost lost half of my life, and now, that strength hasn't diminished.

It's not so much an antidote to this thing, but in fact, it may be toxic if a normal person eats it. Some of the elements in the pill were restrained from the miasma in the mountains, just at the same level, so that there was no other reaction.

I saw that Xue Ning had prepared a lot this time, there were more than twenty aluminum wax sealing boxes, and these things were distributed to all sections of the team, and we also set alarm clocks to remind them twenty minutes in advance before the pill expired. Moreover, this time, in order to prevent anyone from being left behind, relatively powerful characters were arranged at the end of the team, and although we had temporarily abandoned the horses used to carry the camel's supplies during the nearly seven or eight days of marching, there was no problem with the team.

As night fell, the tents were set up early, and although I wanted to take on the march of the ranks as a passer-by, whenever I rushed to the ranks, I always found that I could not actually play any role, so I had no choice but to scatter all over the ranks and silence in the midst of the voices of several students.

After more than a week of trekking, the current position is probably the edge of the ghost forest, and based on the time we spent walking through the ghost forest, it would take us about twenty-four to thirty hours. This section is the most dangerous part of the whole process, but fortunately, there are many of us, and after a reasonable distribution, after entering the ghost forest, we can comfortably take a short rest in the middle.

I sat by the fire, the firewood crackled, and a few students from the Academy of Sciences who had read a few outdoor magazines dug flame retardant canals for the fire one by one. Looking at these young students who are still alive after seven or eight days of walking, for a moment, even I feel as if I am getting old. But how far can I actually differ from them? More than a year of strange experiences, inexplicably saddled bullshit responsibilities, is this the life I want? Not really.

I was pulled out of my contemplation, and when I looked up, I saw Sister Ear wearing a black outdoor jacket. Sister Er handed me a can of beer, I was a little stunned at the origin of this thing, and then I turned my head to see that a bunch of more than one person high had been lit not far away, and there were five or six beers next to it.

I cursed in my heart, I had been sleeping on the edge of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon for a few days earlier, how could I have the heart to take a look at the equipment, and I thought that the heavy objects I thought would be the equipment were these useless things.

But because of Sister Er in front of me, I didn't scold immediately, but just took the beer and took a sip of it myself.

I'm not a very strong drinker, and when I get drunk, the abnormal reaction between those things and my body begins to show up in the form of a whole redness of the skin.

I was reveling in the numbness of my skin that could not be relieved quickly, and suddenly I felt a heat around me, and in a blink of an eye, I saw that Sister Er was already sitting next to me, so close that I could almost feel her breathing.

Sister Er shook her hand and came over to touch a glass with me, but before my sip of wine entered my throat, I suddenly heard Sister Er say coldly: "You don't look very gregarious." ”
