The fat man shook his head, scratched his head and said, "Don't you want three plateaus?" What do you mean? ”

Gao Chao dragged the fat man and explained in his ear: "Three don't want the plateau, one don't want the snow mountain to scream, two don't pee on the side of the mountain, and three don't shoot at night, you don't understand this, you are really a good mallet." ”

After speaking, the two brothers thought about each other for a while, and they both laughed at the same time, startling Xia Qing, who was packing her luggage on the side, but she hung her head and didn't even look at them, but her fair cheeks were already flushed.

In this way, the three of them got up early and had a simple breakfast, packed their backpacks and equipment, and set out on the road again.

In their makeshift camp, they had not felt the wind during the day, but as they walked along the river deeper into the valley, they found that the wind in the Pamirs was still strong during the day.

The scorching sun overhead is in the sky, but it can't make them feel a trace of warmth, the sun on the plateau is like this, although it can't bring warmth, but it can cause serious damage to people's skin, because the atmospheric concentration on the plateau is very low, ultraviolet rays are particularly strong, Gao Chao and the fat man don't use much sunscreen these days, so now the faces of the two of them have already been sunburned, especially the forehead and nose, which are already purple and black.

Xia Qing's situation is much better, she is a woman after all, and she is a beautiful woman, a beautiful woman, she always thinks about her face first.

She carried a high multiplier of sunscreen with her, so her face was still intact, but it was also a little red, after all, it was inevitable that the wind and sun were blowing on the plateau.

Gao Chao and the fat man don't care about their faces, they care more about the speed of progress.

But this day is down. The pace of progress is not fast.

From morning to night, they have been moving against the wind, which has more than doubled the speed at which they are moving.

The three of them were very helpless, and the fat man even scolded and blamed the wind on the Pamirs. It's so deceitful, you can scrape it anyway, why can't you just scrape it? If the wind is favorable, wouldn't it be much less effortless?

If you are fat, you will really manifest yourself.

They spent another night on their way forward, and when they woke up the next morning, the fat man called Lao Gao and shouted "Thank Allah", you know. The fat man didn't believe in any religion, but this time, he was really convinced.

Unexpectedly, the wind on the Pamirs really changed its direction completely and blew from behind them.

Gao Chao and Xia Qing were also dancing happily, in their opinion, this was simply a miracle.

In fact. It's just that they don't understand the wind on the plateau, the wind that is formed by the plateau depression. The wind can change at any time, but this time, their luck is really good.

In this way, the three of them followed the wind and walked for another two or three days in succession. They didn't expect that this valley would be so long, but fortunately, they had enough supplies and food along the way, and the river in the valley was also clean, so at least their food was not a problem.

But after all, this is a plateau. The altitude is getting higher and higher, and although food is not scarce, their physical strength and mental state are being tested to the greatest extent.

Someone once did an experiment, human beings survive in the wild, the time for mental and physical strength to reach a saturated state should be only five days, as long as it exceeds five days, anyone will feel inexplicable depression and huge pressure mentally, and physical strength also begins to decline gradually, and the two aspects interact with each other, until there is a state of mental and physical collapse at the same time.

Although they haven't been more than five days now, they are already very close, Gao is in good shape, Xia Qing is okay, but the fat man is already a little tired and irritable.

He always swears from time to time, and is very irritable, although this is one of the characteristics of the fat man, but Gao Chao is also secretly worried about him, hoping to find the cave that Essetti said as soon as possible.

It was in the evening of the fifth day that they finally reached the end of the valley and finally saw the cave in the distance.

The valley had become so narrow that there was only a narrow channel between the rock walls on both sides.

The current in the river is very fast, because the river bed here is very narrow, and the water has turned dark green, so it is predictable that the river here should be very deep.

Luckily, however, on one side of the river, there was a clearing wide enough for the three of them to pass through and make their way to the cave in the deepest part of the valley.

The cave is not easy to find from a distance, because the cave opening is not large and hidden, and its opening is on the opposite mountain wall, that is, looking down the valley, only the side of the cave can be seen.

Thanks to the fat man's super eyesight, they found the entrance to the cave just when they realized that the valley was at its end.

The river in the valley actually flows out of that cave, and in this Pamir plateau, which is known as the ancestor of all mountains, this valley and this river are simply a miracle in heaven.

The distance is getting closer and closer, and the sound of the river flowing is much louder, and the river flowing out of the hole is like a small waterfall, and the water mist is illuminated in the sun, and a small rainbow appears, which makes the mood of the three of them suddenly feel a lot better.

Gao Chao walked at the front, and the fat man was at the end.

As he walked, the fat man said, "Have you seen it?" ”

Gao Chao and Xia Qing were both stunned, and the fat man continued: "Look, is there a ...... outside the cave entrance?" Got a tombstone? ”

Hearing the word "tombstone", Gao Chao and Xia Qing in front of him stopped all of a sudden.

They now have a certain understanding of the fat man's eyes, as long as it is what he sees, there is basically no mistake.

So the three of them stood in the distance, and they didn't dare to take another half step forward.

"It looks like there's a tombstone there......"

Gao Chao squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time, and next to the stone wall on the side of the cave entrance, there was a flat stone slab, although it was impossible to see if there was any text on it, but that thing was definitely not naturally formed.

Xia Qing had already seen the stone slab, she thought about it for a while, and then said, "Maybe it's not a tombstone, it's just a stone tablet." ”

After all, Xia Qing is from a scientific research background, she has a rigorous attitude towards everything, although there is only a word difference, but the meaning is thousands of miles apart, indeed, the meaning of "tombstone" and "stone tablet" is completely different.

Gao Chao turned his head to look at Xia Qing and said, "Stone stele? You mean......"

Xia Qing said: "Back then, in this valley, there was a troop, think about it, if the troops were stationed in this valley, then how could they not have been here?" (To be continued.) )
