Chapter 12: The First Bay of the Yellow River
Long Jiu looked at me, and when he saw that I didn't bring anything, he asked, "Are you sure you just go to Sichuan without anything else?"
"What? Is there anything specific else I need to prepare?" I asked, confused.
Long Jiu smiled slightly, shook his head at me, signaled that I had nothing else to set off, after a few people got into the car, they headed for Sichuan, the driver in the car, I saw it for the first time, this person is not from the company, I don't know where Long Jiu found it.
After getting in the car, I kept thinking about what Long Jiu said, I didn't understand what she said just now, and thought to myself, we are just going to find someone, not to go to the tomb, let alone to fight, so as not to make it like all the people are soldiers, it is too much of a fuss. But it turned out that I was overly optimistic and misjudged the issue and the local environment.
The driver didn't say a word along the way, it was always him and Long Jiu who drove alternately, and they rested a few times in the high-speed service area halfway. It was already very late at night, we just arrived in Xi'an, which was 8 hours away from where we were going, so we were not in a hurry, but found a hotel in Xi'an for one night, and slept until 9 o'clock the next day before getting up for breakfast, and then set off towards Ruoergai County, Sichuan.
After dinner last night, Long Jiu and I communicated about our trip this time. First of all, it is not to go to the destination first, but to go to a county under the jurisdiction of Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, that is, Ruoergai County, to find a person, this person is called Guan Hao.
The name was unfamiliar to me, I didn't know this person, I had never heard of it before, and I didn't know what he did. However, Long Jiu said that the first time the senior brother entered the third place, it was also because of this Guan Hao that he went in, so we found him, and it was not a problem to enter the third regardless of it.
It sounds like this Guan Hao is very familiar with the Sanzhi region, and it gives me the feeling that this person should not be an ordinary person, and he can praise and praise Longjiu, and he must not be a person who does nothing.
It was dark again, we arrived in Ruoergai County, this county is not big, the population is not much, listen to the locals to introduce this place called Dazha Temple, is a town under the jurisdiction of Ruoergai County, but also the county's political, economic, cultural center.
We found a small hotel at random, there are no decent star hotels here, and most of the words spoken are Tibetan, of course, there are still some people in the town who speak the Sichuan dialect. But for me, they say that the Sichuan dialect is the same as the Tibetan language, because I can't understand it, let alone Wen Mo, and I am confused when I hear the locals speak.
Although Wen Mo and I couldn't understand the locals, they could understand the Mandarin we spoke, and the waiters in the hotel all spoke some Mandarin, but they all had a Sichuan accent, and it was okay to communicate slowly. After dinner, Long Jiu left the hotel and went to find the person named Guan Hao, and within half an hour, Long Jiu came back, saying that Guan Hao was not at home, but went to the nature reserve.
Long Jiu, who has always done things safely, didn't even say hello to this Guan Hao in advance, which is not Longjiu's style of doing things at all. From the day I met her, she gave me the impression that she was a woman who said she would do it, and today I felt very surprised by this. I didn't blame Long Jiu, but asked her what to do now, whether to wait for Guan Hao to come back in the town, or if we find another way.
Long Jiu looked at me and replied, "I'll take you on a trip tomorrow, go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow." ”
After saying that, Long Jiu returned to his room, I didn't care about what she said about the tour, and I also knew that she couldn't arrange the so-called tour for us, as for what she was going to do, I didn't ask much. As the saying goes, she didn't take the lead, she took the initiative to bring us here, so all the itinerary must be arranged by her.
Sure enough, it was early in the morning, and before 4 o'clock, Longjiu called Wen Mo and me, and didn't even eat breakfast, so he set off towards the tourist attraction she said. In the car, he briefly introduced us to the place we were going to, saying that we were going to the first bay of the Yellow River in Jiuqu, and Guan Hao was likely to take pictures there.
I knew that she would not be kind enough to arrange any travel for us, it turned out that she was going there to find Guan Hao, but when I heard the name of the first bay of the Yellow River in Jiuqu, I had a lot of associations. The first feeling was associated with Jiang Ziya's Jiuqu Yellow River Formation, but it was in Fenyang, Shanxi, not Sichuan.
The car drove for nearly an hour, we arrived at a place called Tangke, which is also a township under the jurisdiction of Ruoergai County, the car drove more than 10 miles forward, and then you can no longer drive, the front is a tourist attraction, motor vehicles are not allowed to enter, but you can transfer to the original means of transportation, horseback riding.
Rent 4 horses in the scenic spot, the driver did not go in with us, Wen Mo, Longjiu and I, plus a tour guide each had a horse, and rode towards the hillside behind the Suokzang Temple. I originally thought that this scenic spot was not big, but I didn't expect it to be so big here, and it took more than half an hour to ride a horse to the hillside.
For me, horseback riding is not a difficult thing, I used to go horseback riding in the Chengde paddock, but then I heard someone say that horseback riding is not good for men's prostate and affects normal life, so from then on, I resolutely decided not to go horseback riding, but today this is unavoidable, not riding means that I have to go in on foot, that is not a good thing.
Wen Mo obviously didn't know how to ride a horse, sitting on horseback and dangling, the tour guide kept using Mandarin with a Sichuan accent to remind Wen Mo of his posture of riding a horse, but Wen Mo couldn't understand what he was saying at all. The last two reached a consensus very strangely, using English to communicate, I didn't expect this tour guide to understand Mandarin, but he could speak fluent English, which was very much with Wen Mo's appetite.
On the hillside behind the Sokzang Monastery, there are many photographers who take pictures here. Standing on the hillside and looking into the distance, it is indeed a beautiful natural landscape, the Yellow River on the grassland and the white fog in the early morning, outlining a giant dragon, sometimes appearing, sometimes disappearing in the mist. For the natural landscape in front of me, I couldn't help but take out my mobile phone to take a few photos, completely forgetting that we were here to find people, and all my eyes and thoughts were invested in the Yellow River, I can only say that it is really beautiful.
After a while, Long Jiu patted me in the back and said, "The person has been found, but he can go." ”
Obviously, I really want to stay here for a while, I haven't seen such a beautiful natural landscape for a long time, I think, I will always remember the first bay of the Yellow River.
