This time, the man spoke straightforwardly, but he also guessed that eight or nine were not far from ten, although they were not here to find a car, but to find a guide to lead the way, it was not much different from looking for a car.

However, Gao Chao was still more careful, and at this moment, he rolled his eyes and replied with a smile: "Friend, you misunderstood, you see that we also have a car, what kind of car are we looking for?" ”

After speaking, Gao Chao gave the fat man a look, meaning to get out of here quickly, don't talk nonsense with this person, this person is probably not so simple.

But before Gao Chao and the fat man turned to leave, the man smiled and said, "Friend, do you want to go into the mountain?" ”

When he said this, Gao Chao and the fat man were stunned, but the two of them had already made up their minds at the moment and ignored him, so no one had the intention of stopping, and got into the car directly.

But the man then continued: "There is also a border station in the mountains from here, Khunjerab, that place does not recognize cars, even if you have a border card, you will definitely not be able to pass, if you don't believe it, go and try it, I wish you good luck." ”

The man said it strangely, after he said this, he actually took a cigarette and lit it, then stretched his waist, yawned again, as if he was sleepy all of a sudden, turned around and went to the opposite side.

However, at this moment, his words still attracted the attention of Gao Chao, who had been a soldier in Inner Mongolia and knew more about the border station, because when he was in Inner Mongolia, it was not far from the border line of Outer Mongolia, and he knew that although most people could apply for a border permit, the border checkpoint on the border line was still for the sake of safety. Outsiders will not be allowed to pass through. Unless it's some local vehicle. Because they have to deliver goods to villages on the border, they will be required to apply for long-term passes, and after a long time, in fact, the soldiers at the post and those drivers who often drive by will gradually get acquainted with it, and it will be a lot easier to get things done.

So what that person said just now really makes some sense. It's just that the fat man and Xia Qing in the car don't know much about the situation at the border, so now Xia Qing has started the car and is ready to drive away from here immediately.

However, Gao Chao asked Xia Qing to wait at this time, Xia Qing looked at Gao Chao and didn't understand what he wanted to do.

Gao Chao rolled down the window at this time, and suddenly shouted at the person who was about to disappear from their sight: "Friend! Do you have a car? ”

That's when the man stopped and turned around, still with a smile on his face. Then he threw away the cigarette butt in his mouth, spit out the cigarette and said, "There is a car." And you are guaranteed to be satisfied! ”

When the day was about to dawn, a white pickup truck drove west from the county seat of Ta County, the pickup truck did not look new, but the sound of the engine was very good, you could hear it, the owner of this pickup truck was very careful about its maintenance.

There are four people sitting in the car, the person who drives the vehicle is named Li Qi, many people call him Lao Li, an outsider, he is skilled in driving, very stable, not fast or slow, he is an old driver at a glance, according to his own words, he has been here for more than ten years, all by usually driving for guests to make money, the guests who come here do anything, he will not ask more, as long as he is immersed in driving, to ensure that the customer is sent into the mountain, he will get a good reward.

According to him, don't look at the business of driving is not very eye-catching, but he makes a lot of money, he has a pair of children, all living in Kashgar, he has relied on this car, and bought a house for one of his children, speaking of this, Lao Li's face is full of pride.

The other three people in the car at this time, of course, were the three of them, and they learned in a chat with Lao Li last night that if they wanted to enter the mountains, there was only one road here, and there was no man's land on all sides, and they had to pass through the last outpost in the west, the outpost called Khunjerab, where a company of border guards was stationed, which was a choke point between China and several other neighboring countries.

So if they want to drive their own to go over, it is absolutely unlikely, according to Lao Li, the general self-driving tourists come to the tourists, but only to take two photos there, they will be persuaded to return, because further west, soon into the mountain, as long as you enter the mountain, it is the Pamir Plateau, in which the ravines are vertical and horizontal, the environment is harsh, wild beasts are rampant, in general, it is said that even the border guards rarely go in, if you go into the mountain alone for tourism, it is basically looking for death.

Therefore, the three of them weighed the pros and cons and decided to believe Lao Li's words, so they negotiated the price with Lao Li, and decided to store their own off-road vehicles near Lao Li's house first, and then charter Lao Li's car, and let him take them through the Khunjerab outpost and continue to the west to find the westernmost village.

According to Lao Li, if you go west from Ta County, there seem to be three villages in the early years, but then I don't know why, the westernmost village has already been moved, I heard that it may be because of the needs of border defense, there are always some armed men from outside Afghanistan crossing the border, so for security reasons, the entire village was relocated.

In this way, after they passed through the Khunjerab outpost, they could only go to two villages, but they couldn't figure out which village the old man Essetti was in Xia Qing said, so they had to walk one by one, looking for each village.

Lao Li told them that the population of these two villages was not very large, so it should not be troublesome to find, and Lao Li volunteered to be a translator for them, after all, he had been here for more than ten years and could speak some simple Tajik.

It was almost noon, their pickup truck finally came to the Khunjerab outpost, Gao Chao looked out the window, and found that this border post was indeed much larger than the previous Gezi outpost, he probably looked at the barracks next to the road, and knew that there should be a reinforced company stationed here, it seems that the state still attaches great importance to the guard of the northwestern border of Xinjiang.

At this time, the car slowly stopped, and a red-faced little soldier walked over slowly with a gun on his back, and when Lao Li rolled down the window, a smile appeared on the little soldier's face.

"Lao Li, is there still business this season?"

The little soldier joked and said to Lao Li, obviously somewhat familiar with Lao Li.

Lao Li sighed and said with a smile: "Alas, it's ...... to eat a bowl of rice."

As he spoke, he handed over the border guard cards of the three of them, along with his own, out of the car window.

The little soldier took the border card, then opened it one by one, looked down at the three superb people in the car, and compared the photos above one by one, whether they were themselves.

At this moment, their hearts are really up and down, although their faces are still calm, but their hearts are like beating drums, as the so-called thieves have a weak heart, so in the face of the inspection of the border guards, they really have no bottom in their hearts.

Subsequently, the little soldier checked the four border defense cards, looked at Lao Li again, and said very seriously: "What are they going to do when they go in?" ”

Lao Li looked very relaxed and said: "The three of them are going to the village to find someone, an old man, who is far away, is said to have come to repay his kindness." ”

This is exactly what Gao Chao and Lao Li said, they said that the old man Essetti had saved Grandpa Xia Qing's life, so he came in this time to repay his kindness.

The little soldier listened to Lao Li's words, but ignored him, but lowered his head again, looked at Gao Chao in the passenger seat, and said coldly: "Who are you looking for to repay the favor?" Which village? (To be continued.) )

PS: Recently, I have been preparing more than five shifts a day, and I hope to get your support.
