Chapter 16: Stay in Xining City
This kind of cold is more like the biting feeling of an ice pick, and the two people shivered, carried their bags, and walked quickly with the flow of people to the outside of the train station.
Along the way, Qi Xin kept complaining, he didn't expect the contrast of the weather to be so big, plus the altitude of Hualong County is inevitable for people who have not been on the plateau, there will inevitably be a slight lack of oxygen.
When they arrived outside the train station, the two of them didn't care about these taxi drivers who lingered outside the station all the year round to rip off customers, so they waved their hands directly, stopped a car, and told the taxi driver to go to the location of the hotel in the center of the county.
As soon as he got in the car, Qi Xin was like a deflated ball spread on the back seat, in fact, Zhang Tianye couldn't stand it, but he was holding on, this is also no way, he knew in his heart that this was the first step to take the first step out of the Long March, gritting his teeth, and going on, everyone who just came here is the same, take a good rest at night, and you will be able to adapt to the environment here tomorrow.
Arrived, the 'Changming Hotel' hotel in the center of the county, Zhang Tianye handed the taxi fee to the master, and the two walked in, after registering the room information, Zhang Tianye was arranged to 8062 on the 6th floor, and Qi Xin was arranged to 8076 on the 7th floor.
Looking at the room card in his hand, Qi Xin really didn't want to take a single step, even if it was an elevator, at this moment he just wanted to hurry back to the room, take a hot shower, and lie on the bed and take a nap.
Zhang Tianye looked at Qi Xin with a painful face, and without even saying a word, he gave his room card to Qi Xin, after taking Zhang Tianye's room card, Qi Xin came to his senses, straightened his chest, and said to Zhang Tianye: "I know that I am as good as you, the grace of dripping water, I will repay you with a spring, and I will give you a big surprise tomorrow."
"Okay, monkey, what are you polite with me, hurry up and go back and clean up well", in fact, when he said this, Zhang Tianye was a little weak-hearted, Qi Xin didn't need to run over and suffer with him, he naturally had to let go of the things that he could take care of at the moment.
While speaking, the elevator had already reached the sixth floor, Qi Xin, when he got off the elevator, Zhang Tianye told him that he had ordered food in the hotel, and he would send it to the room later, telling him to rest in the room tonight.
Farewell, after Qi Xin, Zhang Tianye closed the elevator door, and in a blink of an eye he reached the seventh floor, after getting out of the elevator, he found his room according to the hotel room signs, and the moment he returned to the room, Zhang Tianye did not choose to be like Qi Xin, quickly took a bath, and lay in the quilt, but took out the book "Miscellaneous Talks at the End of the Joke" given to him by the old man who refused to be named on the plane and read it.
This book, for Zhang Tianye, is currently the only one that can provide him with the most accurate information, this night he was deeply attracted by the content of this book, but at the same time, as Professor Lin said, the book does not record too much about Lao Ye Mountain, the biggest feature of wild history is its interest.
However, Zhang Tianye became deeply interested in another story in the book, and his intuition told him that there might be a connection.
The book says: There is a beautiful legend in Mayin Mountain in Hualong County, there is a beautiful girl (also known as a fairy) Jin Ma Huang, who lives on the side of the pond on the top of Mayin Mountain, and she is taking care of this beautiful mountain, making Mayin Mountain forever beautiful like a fairyland, giving the herdsmen living under the mountain a safe and rich pasture .......
Similarly, this story gave Zhang Tianye an important clue, Hualong County is just a place that he speculated, but according to the local folk customs, climate, and customs recorded in the book, it forms a strong contrast with here, and it is obviously not a place.
This is a little regretful for Zhang Tianye, but there is no turning back from the bow, after self-comfort, Zhang Tianye put down the book, devoured the lunch box that had already been delivered, and lay on the bed, and fell asleep.
At this time, he chose to hide these doubts first, and since there were no clues, he went to find them one by one according to the locations marked on the map, and sometimes waiting was the final answer.
At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhang Tianye had not woken up, and the door was knocked several times in a row, he got out of bed in a daze, opened the door, and entered the bathroom without looking back, and began to wash, Zhang Tianye knew that the only person who came in could be Qi Xin.
After Qi Xin came in, he sat on the edge of the bed and waited for Zhang Tianye to wash up, and just happened to see the book "Miscellaneous Talks on the End of the Drama" on the bedside table, and he was also interested for a while and began to read it.
When Zhang Tianye, who came out of the wash, changed his clothes, and saw Qi Xin flipping through the book, he asked him if he had found any clues in the book, but he didn't expect Qi Xin to really say: "I have a clue, do you want to hear it?"
Zhang Tianye casually threw aside the towel he had just wiped his face, became interested, sat next to Qi Xin and asked him, what is the clue?
Qi Xin didn't sell it, pointed to the open book, and said: "Don't you notice, is there a piece of paper missing here, you look at the content on both sides of the front and back, it is still very coherent, I guess the missing page may be a picture or something."
At this time, Zhang Tianye noticed this detail, and looked in the direction of Qi Xin's finger, only to find that it was indeed as he said, there was a page missing, and the content should be the topographic map of "Mayin Mountain".
"How's this finding?" Qi Xin interrupted Zhang Tianye, who was deep in thought, and asked rhetorically.
Zhang Tianye said excitedly: "Monkey, this information is probably the most authentic information we have at present, maybe we can get some useful clues in Mayin Mountain."
However, I am worried that there will be danger in the area of heavy mountains and ravines, and the most important thing is that I am not sure whether the famous tourist attraction "Mayin Mountain" is the same Mayin Mountain.
Before Zhang Tianye finished speaking, Qi Xin found a problem again, and asked Zhang Tianye where the book came from, this question made him a little embarrassed, at this juncture, he couldn't hide Qi Xin, he knew that because once he concealed it, it would become distrust, so he told the truth about himself and the 'old man' on Qi Xin's plane.
After listening to Zhang Tianye's speech, Qi Xin said: "Dude, do you say that this old man has something to do with that group of mysterious people"?
Zhang Tianye spread his hands and said: "Monkey, I don't know about this, but you see, if you deliberately tear off a page, there is clearly a problem, I'm afraid it is to remind us not to go to Mayin Mountain, if this is the case, then the old man should be a good person and will not be in the same group as them."
After listening to Zhang Tianye's simple analysis, Qi Xin nodded, saying that he agreed with his point of view very much, but the two of them turned their heads and thought about it, if this old man is a good person, it already shows that there is danger here, Ma Yinshan, there must be some clues, but the two are worried about whether this will be a conspiracy.
Some things are more and more easy to get obscured the more you think about them, just like the things in front of you, which is a pool of fog in itself, and the two of them are like falling into, trying to grab a life-saving straw, but find that there is nothing.
Qi Xin, knowing that at this time, it was a difficult decision for Zhang Tianye, because this was a journey that knew that there were tigers in the mountains and preferred to go to the tiger mountains, if something happened, it would be difficult to solve it if there was an accident.
Zhang Tianye, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Monkey, I feel that this old man seems to be deliberately providing us with clues, our guess just now may be wrong, he came prepared, the missing page should be the map of Mayin Mountain, I guess, he must have taken this map first, one step ahead of us, and went to the location on the map."
"Dude, it's very likely that things will be the same as you imagined, but it will definitely be full of danger, since we already have the answer in our hearts, let's not be stunned here", Qi Xin, understood what Zhang Tianye was thinking, fortunately, he made a decision for him, strengthening his confidence.
After finishing speaking, Qi Xin stood up, handed Zhang Tianye the book "Miscellaneous Talks at the End of the Drama Explanation", went out of the room, and said when he left: "I promised you yesterday, there will be a surprise today, wait a minute, I will call you and you will come down."
Looking at the back of Qi Xin walking out, Zhang Tianye was still hesitating, whether to go alone or take him with him, because the mountains here are all crisscrossed, and there are many deep mountains and old forests, and no one may have even been there, if he makes a mistake in judgment, the old man is indeed using himself, then it will also harm Qi Xin.
The more he thought about it, the more entangled Zhang Tianye became, fortunately he made a bold decision to give it a try, not long after Qi Xin left, he called, and excitedly asked Zhang Tianye to go downstairs.
When I got downstairs, I happened to see Qi Xin standing next to a big black jeep, putting on a cool pose for himself, and when he saw Zhang Tianye coming over, he opened the car door, and after Zhang Tianye got in the car, Qi Xin said: "How about it, this is still standard, how can you do it without a car when you go out."
For Qi Xin, who has always been generous, Zhang Tianye was not surprised at all, and after seeing the piles of materials that had been prepared on the back seat, he just gave Qi Xin a thumbs up, pretending to be full of admiration and said: "Brother Monkey is still amazing."
Seeing Zhang Tianye give himself a thumbs up, Qi Xin said disdainfully, "You sit tight, this king doesn't know that your words are full of thorns, and you don't know the hearts of good people", after speaking, he drove away and drove away.
Although Qi Xin has always been in a hurry to do things, Zhang Tianye knew that he had always been a thoughtful person, and he didn't ask him where he was going, so he sat quietly in the passenger seat, thinking about the next thing.
In this way, Qi Xin drove this black jeep and pulled Zhang Tianye out of the county seat and drove all the way to the suburbs.
