The Secret Realm Chapter 38 Arrival in Kanas
We rested here for four days, and on that sunny morning on the fifth day, we packed our bags and got ready to go.
During this period of time, I have been very familiar with Habtu.
After our car started, he followed us on a camel.
His camel was beside me, and I saw that the time was almost up, so I said to him, "Uncle Habtu, go back, or your aunt will be worried." ”
Habtu nodded and said, "You just follow this road to the end and turn left, and you will probably be on the road back to Jincheng." ”
I smiled and said, "Uncle Habtu, you're too worried, we have navigation, and we don't need to remember the way." Besides, we are not going back to Jincheng now, we are going to Kanas. ”
Hearing me say the words "Kanas", Habtu was visibly startled, and he suddenly slapped the camel twice, and then rushed to the front of our car, and San'er hurriedly stepped on the brakes.
I was a little puzzled and said, "Uncle Habtu, what are you doing here, this is very dangerous, you almost got hurt, you know?" ”
Habtu didn't answer me at all, he just rolled off the camel, walked up to me, took my hand, and said with a little anxiety: "You can't go, you can't go to that place!" ”
I asked, "Why can't you go?" Is it because of the danger? We are not afraid of danger. ”
Danger or something, I don't care at all now, or rather, it's numbness, and I've experienced too many dangerous scenes along the way.
Habtu said solemnly: "This is not a dangerous thing, it is a taboo!" ”
"Taboo? What taboos? ”
"If you go to the lake, you can take a turn around the lake, and you can go boating, but you must not go down into the lake."
I'm a little curious, I've heard that Mr. Ji is looking for someone in the local area, and I'd rather go to the Devil's City than go down to the big lake to find the box, it is said that it is also because I am afraid of breaking taboos or something.
I always thought that the price could not be negotiated, and people would not work for Mr. Ji.
Now Uncle Habtu's statement is exactly the same as those people, which has whetted my appetite.
I asked, "Oh? Committing taboos? What taboo to commit? ”
Uncle Habtu swallowed his saliva, and seemed to be a little nervous and said: "There is a lake saint living in that lake, if you go down, it will disturb it, if the lake saint blames it, it will be a big deal." ”
Lake Saint?
I've never heard Mr. Ji say this word at all......
I suddenly reacted and said, "You mean the legendary water monster, right?" Isn't that ......?"
Before I could finish speaking, Uncle Habtu hurriedly slapped me a few times, and said "Bah, Bah, Bah......", and he said very seriously: "You said this too rudely, quickly take it back, that's the Lake Saint!" Lake St. ”
I looked at Uncle Habtu a little teasing and asked, "I said Uncle Habutu, do you still believe this?" You're so far from Kanas here. It's not easy for you to believe in that lake saint. ”
Habtu said: "You young man, I kindly remind you that although I don't believe it very much, many of the indigenous people who live near that lake believe in the lake saints, and you will suffer if you talk like this. ”
I laughed and said, "Got it, Uncle Habtu, we'll be improvised." ”
Habtu was skeptical, and looked at me for a long time without speaking.
I said, "Okay, we're not going to be able to keep up with the car in front, Uncle Habtu, take your camel away, we're about to leave, if you look for me later, here's my phone number." ”
I handed over a business card, which Habtu took thoughtfully, then took his precious camel aside and made way for us.
San'er stepped on the accelerator and I was caught off guard, a feeling of pushing back came, our car had rushed out five or six meters in an instant, I hurriedly shouted at Uncle Habtu who was still looking at us in a daze outside the window: "Uncle Habutu!" The rivers and lakes are far away! We'll see you later! ”
The rivers and lakes are far away, and there will be a period in the future.
It's getting easier and smoother now......

Tony brought wine and cigarettes, and smoked and drank merrily.
After Hellen's big sip of wine, I suddenly became a poet and shouted to Tony: "A thousand miles of yellow sand, four bastards half a bottle of wine!" Refreshing! ”
San'er said without looking back in front of him: "Shopkeeper, you have counted yourself in." ”
I laughed and said, "Really? Whatever! ”
By the time we arrived at Kanas Lake, the sun had already sunk, and I couldn't help but sigh that the scope of this territory was really wide, and it was a day's journey to walk casually, which was really a headache.
On this day, the moon was sparse and the night sky was very clear, so we parked our car on the edge of Kanas Lake.
"It's so beautiful......"
Basically, everyone gave such a heartfelt exclamation.
The gentle water, the flawless moonlight, and the sparkling waves, in it, make people get carried away.
Lao Ma put his arm around my shoulders and said, "I said Gensheng, thanks to you for taking on this task, otherwise how would our brothers have time to come to this kind of tourist resort for sightseeing, think about the Devil's City before, what is the red one called......
I replied angrily, "Ruined walls." ”
"Yes, yes, I said that you Zhang Gensheng don't have a diploma, and you are not ambiguous when it comes to idioms."
"Sir teaches well."
At the mention of Mr., my heart ached faintly, the enemy was in front of me, but I couldn't do it.
Lao Ma then said: "Look at this lake again, my God, the scenery here is really good......
Zhang Genhuo answered: "Yes, I would rather give up Apple's new product launch, the scenery here is so good, as beautiful as roast suckling pig." ”
I really can't understand Zhang Genhuo's description, roast suckling pig, and the scenery, there is a fart relationship.
"Where are we staying?"
Tony, who had been standing by the sidelines, carried the bottle and sighed and asked a fatal question.
That's right...... I looked around, there was not even a ghost here, it was already night, where are we going to rest?
The old horse said ignorantly: "Oh...... I said, why are you always drunk in this car, and you have been drinking two pots all the time......"
Lao Ma seems to be more and more like Zhang Genhuo now, and he doesn't have a priority in speaking.
I ignored him and said, "Or ......."
My words came to an abrupt halt, for I seemed to see a glimmer of light at some distance away.
"Look over there, does it seem like there's a light?"
Everyone looked at it and was overjoyed.
Sure enough, there was indeed this faint light.
We hurriedly got in the car and drove in that direction.
The car was fast, and it didn't take us a few minutes to get to that light.
"Tents? Isn't this something that the Mongols like? Why do the people of the territory like this too? ”
That's right, in front of us is a tent with lights on inside.
Probably hearing the sound of our engine, the curtain of the tent was lifted, and out of it came a young man with a flashlight.
The appearance is very ordinary, and the clothes seem to be the appearance of some ancient aborigines, anyway, I have never seen this kind of clothes in the mainland, maybe the local customs are like this.
He shone his flashlight at us, which annoyed me a little, and it seemed that the people here were not very polite.
After glancing at all of us, he said, "Who are you?" ”
I was a little surprised, in my opinion, the people in this kind of tribe group that still retain the primitive style, even if they can speak Mandarin, should speak very poorly. But the young man in front of him is not very old, but he speaks Mandarin very fluently, which is very inconsistent with his dress and age.
The old horse stepped forward and said, "We ......"
I hurriedly pulled him back, because I now feel that this person is talking like Zhang Genhuo, and it is becoming more and more unreliable.
I said: "We are tourists from the mainland, and we heard that the scenery of Kanas is very beautiful, so we came here to visit, but unfortunately we didn't calculate it correctly
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Travel time, after arriving here, it is too dark, and the neighborhood is very desolate, I didn't find any hostel, see you have the lights on here, I think you can make it convenient for us to stay overnight, we will pay you accordingly, rest assured, it will definitely not be lower than the price in the town. ”
The old horse was a little angry, but when he saw that I said it so methodically, he didn't have a seizure.
I took out a few brand-new 100 yuan bills and squeaked them in my hand a few times, making a "creaking" sound, which was very attractive.
I think I've grasped the way to communicate with the people here.
Looking at the environment here, it is not difficult to know that most of their lives are poor, so money is a very important thing for them.
It's not that they are all greedy for money, in the case of a reasonable equivalent exchange, who is not willing to make some money to supplement the family?
I think that's reasonable, and it's human.
I am not a person who will insult people with money, because money is also an important thing in my life, and people will never insult others with things that are important to themselves.
The young man didn't have the reaction I wanted, or maybe he didn't love money as much as Uncle Habtu.
I'm still young after all, I can't help but think.
The young man walked up to me, looked at me intently, and then frowned, I didn't know what he was thinking, so I asked, "Excuse me, this ...... Is there anything strange on my face, this little brother? ”
The young man seemed to notice that he was being rude, he took a few steps back, and said, "We have a spare tent here, and we can also give you a place to live, and you can just give the money to you, come with me." ”
With that, he led the way, and we walked for about five minutes until we came to a tent group that was a little far away.
There were four tents in solitary place, out of place with the others.
I asked, "Why are the tents here separated?" Is there anything special? ”
The young man said, "The tents here are all for entertaining visitors, and we often have tourists here, so we will prepare some tents, but don't worry, it's very clean, you can live in peace." ”
I looked back at the rest of the tents, except for this young man's tent, the rest of the tents were dark, I looked at the time, it was only eight o'clock in the evening, it stands to reason that no one would go to bed so early, right?
I asked, "Why is it that only your tent is lit and the rest are sleeping?" ”
The young man's expression was a little unnatural, and he said, "Well, sleep, you just need to stay in these tents, and don't walk around at night, especially don't lift the curtains of other tents, otherwise, we will never allow you to live here again." Can you agree to this? ”
Is it so mysterious, so serious......
Actually, I didn't take it seriously at first, but hearing him say that piqued my curiosity.
Why did they all sleep when it wasn't very late, and the routine was so uniform, so why didn't you, a young man, sleep?
I verbally promised, "Don't worry, no problem." ”
Then he handed over eight hundred-dollar bills and said, "We'll give you the money according to the specifications of the best inn in town." ”
Who knew that the young man actually returned 600 yuan to me, and said, "Fifty yuan for a tent, I don't want the extra money." ”
I sighed with emotion and took back the six hundred dollars.
This young man is really different from the boss of Uncle Habtu's town.
I asked, "By the way, little brother, we don't know what your name is?" ”
The young man said, "My full name is hard to remember, but you can call me Sisippi." ”
What a strange name Sissippi is, stranger than Habtu and Turaya......
Seeing that we didn't react, Sisippi turned around and said, "Go to sleep, I'm going back to sleep too, remember, don't run around at night!" ”
With that, he turned on his flashlight and walked away.
