Chapter 66: Accommodation

In addition to the necessary medicines and equipment, we try to keep everything else as simple as possible, but there are still several pockets after accumulation, Ge Zhuang and I are both people who are used to living a hard life, and it is not difficult to carry these bags, but intellectuals like Chen Yun and Xiaozhang seem to be a little difficult, and can only try to hand over the heavier things to Ge Zhuang.

When we arrived in Naikang County, we inquired all the way, and the final goal was roughly locked in the most dense mountain and river areas in Yunnan Province, which was not far from the border.

As we walked, we listened to him talk about the eventful years of the year, and the journey was not very lonely.

Before departure, we put the rented car in the garage of a hotel in the county, the reason why we rented a car to cross the border, but to avoid the security check of the station, we went to the place hidden in the mountains, even a decent road can not be found, it is impossible to drive, and the car is rented, and dare not throw away at will, so we have to lock it in the county first, and wait for us to return and then come to pick up.

The journey to the village of Lagai (the next stop of our trip) was so long that we had no cars and had to take the local bus, which was a long stretch of the road* full of ditches and ditches and old yellow mud roads.

Taking a car in this kind of place is not an easy task, it is completely equivalent to putting his life in the hands of the driver, but the driver is a novice, the broken bus is driving on the muddy old road, the carriage shrugged one after another, scared Xiaozhang vomited a few times on the road, and his face was white and miserable.

This old road is not easy to walk, the left is the cliff, nearly dozens of meters of drop, the undulating mountain snake road, a lush jungle across the north and south, at a glance, can not see the end, located in the mountains and wilderness, if something really goes wrong, but the fate is here.

The locals were not surprised, and it was very leisurely to get on the bus. Every time Xiao Zhang vomited, it would attract the attention of others, so I had to take off my coat and cover Xiao Zhang's head, telling him to close his eyes and sleep first, and he would not feel dizzy after falling asleep.

The air in the carriage is very stuffy, a bus carrying 24 people is stuffed with more than 50 people, plus there are also the baskets and baskets that the locals come into, a middle-aged woman holding a child also squeezed in, did not occupy a seat on the bus, the car was bumpy, the child followed the electric door, "wow" crying for a while, the man picked his feet, the woman beat the child, the carriage was fried, it was simply a mobile vegetable market.

We are not very accustomed to this noisy environment, get into the car and shrink in the corner without saying a word, thinking that it is good to endure it, who knows that the car driver is still pretending to be a person in the middle of the road, passing by a small village, out of a few people wearing ethnic minority costumes standing in the middle of the road and waving to stop the car, the driver had to stop and let them go.

As soon as the car door opened, there were four or five more passengers at once, the group of people were straddling Miao knives, and they refused to give money when they took the car, and an old man also smoked dry tobacco by himself, and the rotten tobacco leaves emitted a choking smell, which made me unbearable, so I quickly opened the car window to breathe, and when I turned around and saw Xiao Zhang sitting next to me, I found that his face was red, and I dragged me away, and put my head outside to vomit again.

I don't think this is a problem, pat him on the back, and ask Xiaozhang if he can still hold on, if it really can't work, let's get out of the car, right?

Xiao Zhang vomited several times, his face was pale, and he said that it was okay, this barren mountain and wild mountains, where to go to the store after getting out of the car? Bear with me, you don't have to worry about me, just spit and spit and get used to it.

The road started to bump again, and the sponge under the seat cushion of the car had long since rotted bald, leaving a layer of spring wire dragging my ass, and as the car swayed on the road, it bumped and bumped, and it hurt to the egg.

Ge Zhuang really couldn't stand it, and said that this fucking thing, Malegobi, riding in the car is like being dragged to a concentration camp, I riri his ancestors, like juggling, little pumpkin, why don't you get off the bus in front!

I also think it's enough to continue to choke, the next stop the car stopped outside a remote small deserted village, we quickly packed up our things and got off the car, the woman holding the child in the car also followed, and followed by a few local villagers selling local goods, all of them smelled of rough sweat, Chen Yun stayed away from a few of them, saying that it was almost dark, why don't you find a farmer to spend the night first, let Xiaozhang slow down first?

I looked at Xiao Zhang, in the car that a meal full of stomach, even the overnight meal was about to vomit out, and then vomited it was bile, and his face was very white, not to say it, but he complained in his heart that it was a real waste of firewood, it seems that it is a historical mistake for us to agree to take him into the mountain.

But people also followed, this barren mountains and mountains, can not leave people to run, I stood in the deserted village and looked around, did not see the local villagers passing by, just said that this village has been deserted, want to stay afraid is not realistic, first find a safe place to stay.

I guess I heard that my accent was not like a local, and a middle-aged man with a basket strode towards us, first said hello in Yunnan dialect, and when he saw that we didn't respond, he spoke Mandarin and asked us where we were from?

I said Sichuan, it's not far from here, how do you get off in this place, brother, is there a village nearby?

This man is honest, but he is a warm-hearted, right, my home is in Lagai Village, there are still seven or eight kilometers from here, but there are mountain roads in front of it, cars can't drive in, every time you take the car can only get off from here, you can also copy a shortcut, where are you going?

My heart says that wherever there is a tomb, we will go. Of course, this can't be said directly, so I followed the eldest brother and said, we went into the mountains to buy medicinal materials, and the herbs in the south area are abundant, so I want to try our luck here.

After hearing this, the man was overjoyed, and quickly grabbed my hand and called me "boss", saying that the locals have the habit of going into the mountains to collect medicinal herbs, and every household in our village can receive medicinal herbs, why don't you go to our village to try it?

I thought that Xiao Zhang was like this anyway, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to go on the road for the time being, and it would be good to find a family to spend the night, so I nodded and agreed, this big brother was very enthusiastic, and saw that we were a bunch of "big bosses" from the city who carried heavy luggage, and offered to let us put our luggage in his basket, so that we could pick it up and go back to the village for us.

I couldn't stand the enthusiasm of others, I asked Chen Yun to give him a "Grandpa Mao", this man was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, laughed out with a mouthful of bud yellow teeth, his mouth shrugged up to the root of his ears, nodded his head, and was more attentive to us.

There were three or five local villagers accompanying her, in addition to the woman holding the child, her husband who smoked dry tobacco with her, and two passers-by who sold tea, dressed with the characteristics of ethnic minorities.
