Chapter 31: Final Preparations
It was three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Quku Village, Yanglong Township, Qilian County, and Cai Changsheng led a team to lead us to a farmer's house surnamed Zhang.
According to Cai Changsheng, this Uncle Zhang is 53 years old, his wife left early, has no children and no daughters, grows crops on one acre and three points of land, and usually makes a living by hunting and receiving foreign tourists.
According to Cai Changsheng, since more than ten years ago, this place has basically become a temporary base of their archaeological institute, and every time they enter Kunlun Mountain, this is their rest station.
Of course, every time they come, they will give the uncle some money according to the custom, but no matter how much money is or how little the uncle never cares, he just enjoys this extraordinary excitement.
As soon as we entered the courtyard of the uncle's house, the uncle immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and when he saw the uncle's appearance, he knew that he was the kind of authentic old farmer of crops.
"Yo, you're here!" The uncle said in a very non-standard Mandarin with a local accent: "It's not easy to travel all the way, it's hard work!" "As he spoke, he was going to help us carry our luggage.
Cai Changsheng immediately thanked when he saw it: "No, no, we can do it ourselves!" There's nothing to move, so you don't have to move things around in the car! ”
"Oh, uncle, you're still polite to us, how many times have we been here!" Liu Yuan also said on the side.
When the uncle saw Liu Yuan, he smiled even more happily: "I haven't seen you for a few months, and the little girl is a lot more beautiful!" ”
Liu Yuan also laughed when she heard it: "That's that, it's all uncle's praise!" ”
A few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then the uncle noticed the two faces of me and the monkey.
"Why is there a new person joining this time!" Uncle looked at me and said to the monkey.
I was about to answer, but Cai Changsheng immediately rushed and said, "Oh, these are the two experts we invited to help us enter the mountain!" ”
After hearing this, the uncle also smiled at me and the monkey friendly: "It turns out that it is an expert, welcome!" ”
After the uncle greeted everyone in turn, he asked Cai Changsheng again: "This time, are you 'swinging outside the cup' or 'hiding in the cup'?" If the cup is out of the way, I can do it for me, if it is hidden in the cup, I'm afraid you will have to rely on yourself! ”
As soon as I heard the monkey and I didn't understand what they were talking about, Liu Yuan immediately came to me and the monkey and explained to us: "Uncle usually takes the work of the tour guide, this 'cup swing' refers to only taking tourists to the foot of Kunlun Mountain, and this 'cup in the cave' refers not only to the foot of the mountain, but also to enter the Kunlun Mountain!" ”
When the monkey and I heard it, it dawned on me!
"Uncle, the rule of only taking the 'cup swinging' and not the 'cup hidden' has not changed!" Cai Changsheng said with a smile.
The uncle smiled unconsciously when he heard it: "Of course, this rule can't be changed, this 'hidden in the cup' work is taken by Wu Laohan, but it's just ......" The uncle suddenly stopped when he said this, and his face seemed to show a trace of anxiety.
"But what's wrong?" Cai Changsheng immediately asked.
The uncle paused and said, "It's just ...... Wu Laohan has not come back yet! ”
"What? Haven't come back yet! Cai Changsheng showed a very surprised expression: "You mean that he went into the mountain with the old captain and they have not returned yet?" ”
"Not bad!" The uncle nodded: "Old Man Wu and the old captain have no news together!" ”
"How is that possible!" Cai Changsheng immediately said: "Wu Laohan is no one, how can he not come back with his ability!" I'm going to ask him about the old captain's whereabouts! ”
"Who is this old man Wu? Isn't it amazing? The monkey asked softly to Liu Yuan on the side.
Liu Yuan also replied softly: "Of course it's amazing, Wu Laohan is eighty years old this year, but his ability is great!" Only he dared to take this 'hidden in the cup' work, and every time he could go deep into the interior of Kunlun Mountain and retreat with his whole body! You say it's not amazing! Only this time ......"
Listening to Liu Yuan say this, it seems that this old man Wu is really not simple. The terrain of Kunlun Mountain is dangerous, the terrain is changeable, and the snow and ice have been frozen for many years, and those who can go deep into the interior at any time and retreat lightly are afraid that there are not ten people in the world today! And this old man Wu can do it at the age of eighty, he is really a master, I really want to see it!
After listening to the news that Uncle Wu Laohan has not returned so far, Cai Changsheng looked very depressed, I know that he is worried about the safety of the old captain!
……
After the uncle had settled us all in, he cooked a table of food for us, and after a few days of hard travel, we could finally loosen our belts and have a big meal.
After eating, the sky darkened unconsciously, and Cai Changsheng called everyone together again, ready to discuss the next arrangements.
I learned from Cai Changsheng that every time they entered the Kunlun Mountains, they set off from Biaoziling in the north of the village, climbed two mountains all the way, and finally passed through a dense shrub called the Wild Boar Forest, and then came to the foot of the Kunlun Mountains.
In the past, Cai Changsheng only played the role of logistics and substitute in the archaeological team, so he only walked to the wild boar forest at most every time, and he had never walked the road behind.
Cai Changsheng had no choice but to set his sights on me and the monkey again, in his words, the only way to go was to rely on me and the monkey! I listened to my intuition and didn't know the bottom!
An hour later, the result was reached. Tomorrow, each will perform its duties to make corresponding preparations, and set off on time the morning after tomorrow! The specific results of the arrangement are as follows:
Tomorrow, Huang Shaoze and Wen Chengyu will go to the market to buy some items that are still missing, and Cai Changsheng has already made a list of specific things to buy. Outdoor doctors and hygienists were responsible for filling up the three vehicles with fuel and installing snow chains.
Cai Changsheng and Liu Yuan went to the homes of several hunters in the village to inquire about the situation in the mountains to see if they could find out some of the situation in the mountains.
The task assigned to me and the monkeys was to focus on studying the topography of the Kunlun Mountains in order to determine a route to the interior of the Kunlun Mountains! This task is just fucking nonsense for me and the monkey, the two pseudo-touching Jin lieutenants, and I don't even know where Kunlun Mountain is in me until now, and what kind of route is there to talk about!
But since I took this job, I can't rely on flickering all the way, flickering is a goof after all, although I don't fucking know how to find the dragon point, but I can still get some useful information from my father's manual, so my father's manual has become the only hope I want to fool around.
But as a captain who touches gold, this compass is indispensable no matter what, no matter whether he can use it or not, there must be a pretend, so early tomorrow morning, the first task for me and the monkey is to go to the market and buy two compasses back!
