Chapter 6: The Tanggula Forest
Uncle Mi couldn't ask anything, and Wang Dake didn't know, he only said that it was the family's arrangement, and he didn't know what the reason was. I didn't ask any more questions, and made up my mind to talk about it when I got to the place.
At noon, we approached the township government station.
Contrary to what I imagined, this is said to be the residence of the township government, but in fact, it is not even a larger village. The car passed through the mountains, but in the distance I saw a adobe house on the hillside, with a white gate, which could be the township government or a school, and it was particularly conspicuous in the red and yellow earth. In comparison, the rows of Tibetan-style white pagodas are particularly eye-catching, compared with the dilapidated villages, like two worlds.
It was impossible to find supplies in such a place, so we didn't even stop our cars, and we were ready to find a safe place to rest in front of us.
Under the guidance of my uncle, the car continued to drive south. It didn't take long for the mountains to change. For some reason, the mountains on this side are no different from those in the east, except for the mani piles that appear on the side of the road from time to time, and there are the same rocks and clumps of pines and cypresses everywhere.
We found a big mani pile and stopped to rest. Wang Dake and Xiao Kan stood by the Mani pile to take pictures as if they were traveling, and watched coldly on the side.
In the afternoon, I continued to hurry, the road had already become a dirt road, fortunately the weather was cold and condensed, the road surface was still hard, but the bumps were to death, the speed was very slow, and many places had to pass from the ice, and I was afraid to go. When it was dark, a canyon suddenly appeared in front of me.
"Let's rest here!" Uncle Mi suddenly said, "You will arrive after passing through the canyon, and you can't walk at night, so you have to wait for daytime." ”
None of us know what this place is, and nature is as good as a stream. A cadre of people got off the car and life was busy.
I took a moment to ask Wang Dake, "Can you confirm the identity of this uncle?" ”
"Of course, I was raised by him since I was a child, can I still admit my mistakes? What do you mean? Wang Dake seemed to be a little dissatisfied.
"Let's just listen to his command all the way, I'm afraid that people will sell ......" I said haha.
After saying this, I felt chills myself. In this world, it is normal to see a Gejia in the wild, and it is rare to see this person, even so, the guard against people has not been let go......
Wang Dake understood my thoughts, "Brother An, don't worry, Uncle Yi grew up in my family, although he is not very shrewd, but there is absolutely no problem with loyalty." ”
I nodded, "Do you know this place?" ”
"I don't know, my uncle said that he was also walking according to the map given by his family." Wang Dake said.
I nodded, "Okay, he'll leave it to you, you can find me for anything." ”
Wang Dake didn't think much about it, nodded and agreed to run to the tent.
Next to the road is a big river, although the weather is cold, but the surging momentum is unabated, with a biting cold air rushing out of the canyon down the mountain, the water is clear and blue. The entrance to the canyon in front of you is also spectacular, with very steep mountains on both sides, stretching far away.
Time passed quickly, and after the meal was over, I took a break from personal idleness. I was still thinking about last night, and decided that I would be on duty tonight and look at my uncle.
Liu Dongxi accompanied me, and I told him about my experience last night, and in the end, I felt a little scared. Liu Shifu didn't care, and decided that I had a nervous breakdown, so he had to get me a cordyceps sinensis supplement.
I didn't feel the need to talk to him in depth, so I got up and went to the back of the car to pee. It may be that the iceberg snow water here is too sweet, I drank a lot of water tonight, and when I was urinating, I suddenly heard movement behind me!
I was so shocked that I didn't care if I didn't finish peeing, so I turned around and saw a white shadow burrowing behind a big rock.
What is it?
The rest of the urine was completely frightened back, and I ran to the fire while scrambling to lift my pants.
Liu Dongxi was learning Sherlock Holmes with a smoking branch in his mouth, and when he saw me running over while wearing a belt, he smiled directly.
"What, what the hell?"
I picked up the gun that had been thrown aside, and pulled the belt buckle with one hand, "There's something in the back!" ”
Liu Dongxi was used to seeing my panicked appearance, so he was naturally able to distinguish the real from the fake, and his face changed color at the moment, and he grabbed the gun and stood up, "What is it?" ”
"I don't know!" I recalled, but found that I couldn't remember anything, and put my hand on my chest, "It's white, it's so tall." ”
"Not Gejia?"
I shook my head, Gejia was all too familiar to me, the thing didn't move like Gejia at all, and now I think it looked a little like a white-haired monkey.
Liu Shirang stood on the side of the car and guarded, touched in the direction I pointed, turned behind the boulder, and couldn't see it.
I was a little worried, but I also knew that he would be fine, a big living man with a gun, so he wouldn't let go without even a sound.
As he thought this, two muffled gunshots rang out from behind the boulder, followed by a bang in the car. I knew that someone had woken up, knocked on the window twice, drew his gun and sword, and rushed over.
Stepping on the pebbles that were swaying under my feet, I rushed behind the boulder in a few steps. There was a stone vein behind the stone, and there was a herringbone hole in the middle.
An indescribable fishy smell hit my face, I pushed the button away, and in the bright light of the flashlight, a white-haired beast with no name pounced on me!
This blow was extremely sharp and sudden, I couldn't dodge, and I was directly pressed to the ground.
I never saw what was falling on me, but I subconsciously held the lightsaber across my chest. This thing doesn't weigh much, but its power is a bit excessive, like the power of a machine, hard and wooden!
The beast didn't make a sound, and bit me on the neck with a single bite, but it bit on the sword of the fixed light with a bang. I was afraid that it would stumble on its teeth, and I even felt it tremble when it pressed against my chest, and then stepped down hard, letting go of me and jumping over.
I almost squeezed my out, and my waist rattled, and I almost snapped in half. Liu stuff rushed out of it again, almost stepping on me, if it weren't for my flashlight on, I guess I would have to be a stepping stone.
"What's that?" I gritted my teeth and got up, turned and ran in chase.
"I don't know! I don't see it either! Liu seemed to be injured, and his voice was a little muffled.
This is basically the entrance to the cave, and we can see our car after two steps. The lights are on and everyone is outside. E, on the other hand, stood between us and them, a furry corpse spread on the ground, head still in E's hand at one end. In the light, the beast's head twisted like a baseball glove, and drops of blood ran down its fangs.
"Xiaoyi, are you alright?" Seeing that all the people were okay, I was relieved.
She shook her head, let go of the beast's corpse, and turned to walk into the car, where I noticed that she had deliberately bypassed Lu Yan.
Something was wrong with her, and I told myself that I would have to find someone to talk to her another day.
Everyone gathered around, and Liu Dongxi had already squatted over to examine the corpse.
"What is this?" I looked at the gray-white beasts on the ground. It resembles a cat or a leopard, but with a smaller head, longer limbs, and a severed tail. A treacherous crying and mourning look, like a demon that has been pieced together.
"It seems to be a lynx...... Liu Dongxi pulled the two balls of black hair on the beast's two long ears, "but the lynx is not this color, and besides, I have never heard of a lynx in this place!" ”
"Why not?" It was Uncle Mi who spoke, wrapped in a coat like an otaku uncle.
"I saw a lynx when I went out with the eldest master, and the snow lynx on the plateau is this coat color. It's just that I've never seen it grow so big, and it's almost catching up with a leopard! Uncle Mi also squatted down, hula the beast's belly, and there was no dirty meaning on his face.
"There are lynx in this kind of place?" I looked around at the obvious traces of tourists.
"Not before, after all, this lynx is also afraid of people. But where is there now? Uncle Mi sighed, "Even the beasts in our outer mountains have been ruined by Gejia, and it is not easy for this place to be left!" ”
I listened to my uncle's chatter, a little uncomfortable, and turned my head to ask Liu Shi, "Is that this beast's nest?" ”
"Definitely!" Liu Shixin nodded, squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "How long has it been since I eaten fresh meat?" ”
I actually thought about it and honestly said, "I can't remember, you're going to eat a lynx?" ”
"I can't eat it!" Uncle Mi hurriedly stopped, "This is the Tanggula Lam Demon, you will go crazy if you eat people!" ”
I've never heard of this kind of saying, so I was stunned for a moment, and I couldn't help but repeat: "Tanggula Lamin Demon? ”
"Yes, the snow lynx is actually a human, and it was only because he accepted Dejie's temptation that he became a forest demon and guarded his sinful treasure for him!" Uncle Mi said.
I still didn't understand, and I was about to ask again, but Liu Shishi hurriedly said: "We don't have to eat this, this thing meat is not delicious, let's eat rabbits!" ”
It turns out that the lynx is the best thing to live, and usually feeds on hares, and stores what it can't eat in its own holes, and when it is hungry, it will look for fresh food.
This weather meat can be stored for a long time, and its teeth, even frozen meat that is as hard as a stone will not stump it. The rabbit that Liu Dongxi is talking about is the frozen meat it stores in the hole.
Of course I don't have an opinion on this kind of thing, anyway, it's all the same dark in the cave when it's dawn or not, so I just don't wait for dawn anymore, and I take a flashlight and go down with Liu to see what is going on.
Digging into that herringbone hole again, I still felt a little hairy. "Liu thing, there's nothing else in here, right?"
"Nope! And then there's Decher's treasure! Liu was probably also hungry, with the sound of snorting in his voice.
"What did that uncle say, do you understand?" I remembered my uncle's words and asked Liu Shi.
"He's talking about the things in Bon, that kind of primitive religion, which has long been extinct, I don't know where that old man knew about it!" Liu Dongxi said.
"Do you still know Bon?" I struggled to say the word.
"Nonsense!" Liu Shifu snorted disdainfully, "I still know what Dejie's treasure is here!" ”
"What is it?"
"Bunny!" Liu Dongxi said.
