Chapter 300: Unintentional Dialing
Faced with Zhang Momo's question, I was speechless.
Probably, I never really faced up to my relationship with her. It wasn't until this second that I suddenly felt that I should like her.
However, the more I felt like this, the more it soured my heart. The sourness gradually turned into a kind of pain, as if there were thousands of steel needles piercing his heart.
I would love to tell her that those are jokes and don't take them seriously. But when I saw the anticipation in her eyes, I wanted to say something, but suddenly I couldn't say it.
"Okay." I smiled and nodded: "Come back from Ali and go to meet Lao Zhang together." ”
Zhang Momo smiled, and smiled very sweetly.
But she couldn't see the tears that came out of my heart.
We ate together, and as before, we went out to play after eating, and I took a little money from Yuan Sihai, and I paid for the whole process. However, Lao Wang is not happy, and I am not happy.
The next day, the team set off, and Yuan Sihai sent me three people, but I didn't plan to let these three people directly participate in the operation, they were only responsible for following me to the Shiquan River, and the guide called Kampot was waiting for us at the Shiquan River.
I'm not familiar with this road, but someone sent from the original four seas can lead the way. Trivial matters such as border cards can be handed over to them. We need to maintain sufficient physical strength, and the task of driving on the road will be left to someone else for the time being.
The driver of the same car as me was a very honest young man, and if he asked and said, he might not be able to say a word for a day without asking him. I sat in the passenger seat and chatted with him for a while, and Zhang Momo sat in the back seat, listening carefully to what we were chatting. After more than half an hour, I saw Zhang Momo falling asleep in the back.
I don't know why, when I saw her sleeping, my heart suddenly hurt like a needle. My premonition was still very bad, and although I couldn't see clearly what was going on the road I was going to take, I couldn't feel too much danger. But now, I have seen countless times from my dark imagination that this road shrouded in fog seems to have a black hole, and once I walk in, I will never be able to climb out again.
The feeling of never being able to return to it once again filled my mind. I'm not sure if I'll be able to see Zhang Momo again, Lao Wang, Ning Kitten, and those people who made me sad and happy in the future.
We arrived at our destination without any problems, and then contacted our guide, Kampot, who was waiting here in advance. Kampot was a man of about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, very lean, with a bronzed face, and he knew at a glance that he had been running around in this place closest to the sky all year round. Without enough experience, there would be no skin of this color.
Kampot is fluent in Tibetan and Chinese, and the two of us had a simple conversation, but we were actually touching each other's details. Kampot probably knew what Yuan Sihai was doing, so during our conversation, he deliberately reminded me that he wouldn't ask what I was doing in Ali, he was only responsible for leading the way, but he must not fight the idea of Tibetan antelope, which would cause a lot of trouble.
"No, I won't offend your taboos, I just want to come here and take a look."
"That's for the best." Kampot squinted his eyes and smiled, and used a kind of tobacco to roll himself into a cigarette roll, and he gave me one, and the smell of the cigarette was so strong that it was like smoking a big puff of nicotine, blocking all the alveoli.
I was tentatively asking what Kampot used to do. Because of his speech and demeanor, I felt that he was not a natural guide. Although his words were peaceful, the gaze in those not too big eyes was sometimes as sharp as a knife, as if it could see through people's minds at once.
If I see such a person in Huayang's ancient line, I will subconsciously feel that this should be a character who is not easy to deal with.
"The past is all in the past, and there is no need to bring it up again." Kampot smoked the cigarette he rolled out and said very meaninglessly: "I am only leading the way for some people to support their families." ”
Kampot wouldn't say, and I couldn't ask about it. He told me that Yuan Sihai had already paid part of the money, and the remaining part could be given after arriving at the destination.
"Your destination is Renang, which is very desolate and few people will go, and I can bring you safely." At the end of the conversation, Kampot said to me: "If you are interested, you can also take a detour and go to Sheep Lake to have a fun first, the current Sheep Lake is very interesting." ”
I know that Ali is a very beautiful place, and the beauty here is not known to the season, there is something to see all year round. But I'm not in the mood to browse the scenery, but Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten, I really want to take a look.
"Alright then, then please go with us to Sheep Lake first, and we will stay there for a day or two at most." I smiled and told Kampot that if the detour was too far and the original trip and time were delayed, I could compensate him a little.
"Dude, thanks." Kampot was very happy and made an OK gesture at me.
After Gongpot left, Zhang Momo frowned and complained to me: "Why are you so two, no one said anything about adding money, you have to take the initiative to say it." ”
I smiled and didn't answer her. It's just that the bitterness in my heart can't be described in words. I think it's probably useless for me to ask for money. If he pays Kampot a little more, maybe he can use the money to buy his son or daughter a few new clothes and a few new toys.
The next day, I sent all the guys from the original four seas away, they had completed their tasks, and Kampot took over the rest.
When Kampot brought us to Sheep Lake, the desolation along the way was suddenly shattered. Nowadays, many people in the mainland like to go to this kind of place to find the true meaning of life, especially here in Sheep Lake, where travelers set up tents one by one, like a small village located by the lake.
We spent most of the day here, and some local Tibetans brought their own yaks and made money by taking pictures with the yaks. The Tibetan yaks are cleaned, with red flowers on their heads, tinkling bells hanging from their noses and tails, and some yaks are fat and strong, and their long hair can hang down to the bottom of the tripe. Ning Xiaomei and Zhang Momo wanted to take a group photo, and asked the price, sixty yuan per person. Kampot used to say two words to the people, and the price immediately dropped to thirty.
They took pictures over there, and I walked around the shore by myself and found a rock to sit down. I wanted to smoke, but looking at the lake in front of me, which seemed to be spotless, the idea of smoking was dispelled.
I don't know if it's my emotions that cause me to have a bad psychological reaction, and I always feel uncomfortable everywhere in my body. The discomfort spread very quickly, and in a short period of time, all the discomfort seemed to be concentrated in the legs.
I subconsciously lifted my trouser leg open, and my head dizzy. Because I saw that the two legs were covered with tan hairs, I remember very clearly, when I set off from Huayang this time, I specially shaved the fine hairs on my legs, I didn't expect that once I entered here, the brown hairs would grow so quickly.
I could feel that the muscles in my legs seemed to be tightened, as if they were cramping, and I couldn't stretch my legs, mixed with an indescribable pain.
I sighed, the aftermath of being bitten by the demon worm was very fast in this land. And, faced with this situation, I don't have any recourse.
I didn't want to tell anyone about it, so I sat by the lake for a while before I slowly got up. Zhang Momo and Ning Kitten each took several pictures, and when I walked over, they happily told me that Kampot had promised them that after leaving here, they could follow this route, browse the Manla Reservoir, then go to Gyantse, and then to Shigatse.
For a person who came to the plateau for the first time from the mainland, many things were novel, even shocking, but I had no intention of watching them. For the next few days, I walked with the team like the walking dead. Later, Kampot took us to a place called Kaqu, and he said that if we needed any supplies, we would buy them here, and after this place, there would be no supply depot on the road behind.
We bought a little stuff and settled down in a small hotel. The hostel is small and run-down, but it is full of people. Kampot was familiar with the boss and found us two more spacious rooms. The condition of the room is very poor, and the sound insulation is especially poor, as long as the voice next door is louder, it will come to us through the wall.
After dinner, the time was still early, Kampot went to the boss for tea, Lao Wang still didn't talk to me, and probably didn't want to stay in the same room with me, as soon as Kampot went out, Lao Wang also went out, and the two of them walked for two hours. I was alone in my room, tossing and turning, my mind was a constant mess, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
I didn't want to let this unwarranted pessimism dominate my thinking anymore, so I took my broken phone and opened it to look at it. I flipped through my photo album, then through WeChat and text messages, and when I flipped through the call logs, I saw a mobile phone number.
This mobile phone number is stored in my address book with the name "QR code", which is the phone number I found by extension of the bronze plate I picked up in the underground space of Ta'er Lake. After the incident, I tried to contact the other person several times, but I never got in touch.
I looked at the number, a little distracted, and my fingers inadvertently touched the dial key, but I didn't notice it. When I reacted, the phone was dialed.
Airplanes!!!
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but after I dialed the phone number, the phone rang faintly in the next room.
