"I'm one too." Director Cao said.

"Director Cao, is your body okay?" Zhao Zimeng said.

"Captain Zhao, you don't have to worry, I'll go below, most of the time I ride a horse, we have a lot of mountain roads here, it's more convenient to ride a horse.

"Captain Zhao, I'll send two more people to accompany you, and with them with you, you don't have to worry about anything." As he spoke, he walked to the door of the warehouse and shouted loudly outside, "Zabu, Gado, you two come here." ”

After a while, two Tibetans, about forty years old, walked in from outside the door.

"Zab, Gado, are you done unloading?"

"There's still a little bit left, and it's going to be unloaded."

"The two of you escort these police comrades to 'Gudun Town', and leave in three days, Hule and I will leave now, and in six days, we will meet in Gudun Town. Be careful along the way and bring your guns with you. ”

"Don't worry! I will definitely guarantee their safety. ”

"You must take good care of Captain Zhao and them."

After saying that, the two brothers rode their horses and whips - on the road.

Next, Director Cao prepared food and water for six or seven days.

On the morning of the third day, the comrades, escorted by Zabu and Gado, went up the ancient road to the "Gudun Town".

Before breaking up with Xiang Daimo and Lin Di, Zhao Zimeng gave them a task: to find Fan Jiazhen through Gan Yumeng to learn more about the situation.

Zhao Zimeng has been engaged in criminal investigation work for decades, and this is the first time he has experienced it, and he never dreamed that he could ride a horse on the ancient tea horse road.

When it was dark, two Tibetans led the four into a village where there was an inn for horsemen who walked the Ancient Tea Horse Road.

The name of this inn is "Yuhe Inn", with a thatched roof, wooden walls, sleeping on a big kang head, and eating gruel steamed buns. But there was no wine. Zabu said that when transporting goods on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, you can't drink alcohol at night while sleeping.

On the Ancient Tea Horse Road, robbers often appear, and you must be alert when you sleep at night - Yuhe is a small town, robbers often rob here, and if you drink, it is difficult to hear the movement. The caravan will arrange someone to be on duty at night, and if there is a situation, the person on duty will fire a gun to call the police, but if the sleeping person is drinking, it is very difficult to wake up immediately.

It can be seen that walking on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, in addition to overcoming natural difficulties such as roads and weather, but also dealing with elusive bandits and robbers, you can see how difficult it is to raise three children with his feet.

The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, the bell began to ring rhythmically again, and the six of them began another day's journey.

Nothing to say all the way.

Two days later, at about one o'clock in the afternoon, after crossing a mountain, Zabu pointed to the faint village at the bottom of the mountain and said, "Here it is—here, you see—that's Gudun Town." ”

"Gudun Town" is located in a mountain col surrounded by mountains. "Gudun Town" is located in the middle of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, which means that the comrades took three days to walk only half of the distance of the Ancient Tea Horse Road, while the Jianyang Tashi brothers had to spend about six days to walk the three escort journeys, and the brothers were bound to travel day and night.

Some things are very easy to promise, but it is difficult to do, Liu Li's view of people is very accurate, she is not mistaken, Yang Zhuo Bu regards Yang Zhuo Ya as his own, after having two biological sons, he can still treat Yang Gaya as always, which is even more commendable. The two sons also inherited the fine qualities of Zhuobu.

Zhao Zimeng had a feeling that he would not hesitate to make this trip.

An hour later, six people entered a tall walled gate made of wood, and above the walled gate were written three big characters "Gudun Town" on wood.

Most of the buildings in Gudun Town are wooden shingles, with small black roofs and walls arranged with trees – or stacked on top of each other.

A winding stone road runs through the town. On both sides of the road, there are inns, restaurants and shops buying tourist products.

Zabu said that in the early years, most of the people who came to "Gudun Town" were merchants and caravans walking on the ancient tea horse road, and in the past year or two, more and more people have come here to travel, so many shops have been converted into inns and selling tourist goods.

When six people and six horses marched to the middle street, a three-story wooden building appeared at the bend, and a big banner hung down on the third floor of the building, and the four big characters "Gudun Inn" were written on the banner.

At the bottom of the building there is a large wooden door, which is made of wood with the thickness of a bowl, and between the wood is an iron rivet. The doors of the inn were open, and some people led their horses in and out.

When the six people came to the door, a person ran out of the gate, and he led the six people into the gate while talking to Zabu: "Zabu, this time, you guys are back too fast!" How can you carry only people naked? ”

Tashi replied to the question: "Qiangba, have they arrived?" ”

"Aren't Tashi, they're with you?"

The other party will also interrupt, but from his answer, it can be seen that the father and son of Jianyang Zhuobu have not yet arrived.

"Qiangba, don't talk nonsense, quickly feed the horses, arrange a room for us first, and then get us something to eat, grab six plates of mutton by hand, and the rest, according to the old rules."

"Holo." As he spoke, he waved to a few men, and immediately ran over to them, took the reins from the six men, and led the horses to a row of mangers.

"Please come with me." Qiangba bowed.

Jampa walked in front and led the five men through a side door. Then he entered the counter on the first floor of the inn and took a key from the wall inside. Led everyone up to the second floor.

The building of the "Gudun Inn" is very special, the middle is the stable and freight yard, the four sides are guest rooms, the vast majority of the merchants and caravans who come here are merchants, sleeping is not the top priority, protecting the horses and goods is the top priority. The stables and freight yards were built in the middle of the rooms. Once the robbers come, all can hear it.

The guy walked to the door of a room on the east side of the second floor, unlocked it with the key, and pushed the door open, which was a relatively large room.

There was only one large kang in the room, and ten beds of bedding were arranged in a row on top of the large kang - this house could sleep ten people.

The futons are folded, and each bed is pressed with a pillow made of bamboo. There is also a small low table on the kang. On the table are ten earthenware bowls, which are supposed to be used for drinking water.

In the corner of the wall are a copper basin and a four-legged wooden basin. There are five thermos next to the basin.

The copper basin should be used to wash the face, and the four-legged wooden basin should be used to wash the feet. People walking on the Ancient Tea Horse Road, as soon as they rest, need these things the most.

Zhao Zimeng was very interested in this quadrangular wooden structure, and although he was very tired, after entering this Tibetan building, his emotions came up again.

Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei walked to a window and pushed it open, and outside the window was a deep stream, in which there was a gurgling spring, and on the other side of the deep stream, there were lush mountains and deep forests.

"Yunfei, look-"

Linghu Yunfei looked in the direction of Zhao Zimeng's finger, and on one of the trunks of a winding and craggy tree, there were two golden monkeys squatting.

"There are also three monkeys down there." Pang Feiteng pointed to the deep stream.

On a stone next to a waterfall, three monkeys, one large and one small, are leisurely drinking water, and their fur is also golden.

"Zabu, you sit down and rest for a while, wait a while, and I'll bring the food myself." Jampa said as he bowed out of the room.

"Don't arrange any more people in this room, Tashi and they will come over in a while."

"I see—I'm not going to arrange any more."

"Wait a minute."

"What else do you command?"

"As soon as Tashi and them arrive, you will let us know immediately."

"Got it. As soon as Tashi arrived, I will come to inform you. ”

After five or six minutes, Qiangba pushed open the door and walked in, he was holding a wooden plate with six plates of mutton and three plates of vegetables on it, and behind Qiangba, followed by a young man with a wine jar in his left hand and a rattan basket in his right hand.

Qiangba placed the wooden plate in the middle of the low table, put the pottery bowl upside down on the table, and the man opened the seal on the jar and poured the wine from the jar into the bowl - what came out of the jar was rice wine, which the comrades had drunk at Nie Zhenhua's house, but from the smell, it was not as mellow as the rice wine brewed by Nie Zhenhua's father.

Zhao Zimeng sat on the kang, picked up a bowl of rice wine, and drank several sips in one go.

The view from the window is really good, but the view is not for food. Zhao Zimeng devoured it with everyone, and a few pieces of fragrant mutton were sandwiched in the white-flour steamed buns, which were both delicious and chewy.

After being full of wine and food, Zhao Zimeng's upper and lower eyelids fought. After three days in a row, we didn't sleep well at night, and everyone was a little sleepy.

"Director Cao, you first stare at the kang for a while, we watch, Tashi and they will wake you up as soon as they arrive." Zap.

Zhao Zimeng really wanted to sleep, but he couldn't sleep, didn't he have something in his heart? In addition to tiredness, there is also a little excitement in my heart. I don't know when the three of them will appear at the Gudun Inn.

Zhao Zimeng rolled up his sleeves and looked at the time, the time was 16:25.

Waiting is a very worrying thing, seeing that it is about to be dusk, but the three father and son of Yang Zhuobu have not yet appeared.

Zabu saw Zhao Zimeng and Pang Feiteng's anxious mood, because they looked at their watches and mobile phones from time to time: "Don't worry, today, Tashi and they will arrive on time." ”
