Ah Chong looked out the window, and in the snowflakes, his thoughts fluttered aimlessly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Many years ago, he witnessed the tragic death of his uncle, and he himself was poisoned, and at a critical moment, the mysterious Professor Zhang appeared and saved his life.

Since leaving Lijia Village, in the past ten years, he has followed Professor Zhang to the north and south and the four seas as his home, and he has experienced many vicissitudes at a young age and has seen many strange and unbelievable things.

The relationship between him and Professor Zhang is very delicate, Professor Zhang helped him treat his illness and taught him a lot of things, he works for Professor Zhang, and it stands to reason that the relationship between the two should be very close. But there is always a certain distance between them.

The impression of Professor Zhang has always been very serious, rarely showing emotions of joy and sorrow in front of him, for Ah Chong, Professor Zhang is like a stern teacher.

Professor Zhang has no children, no daughters, and has never been married, so work is everything to him. They rarely communicate with each other other except for work.

For so many years, Ah Chong has been lonely.

He has never tasted the warmth of family, and his life is nothing but healing, but also work.

Accustomed to physical pain and having seen too much life and death, Ah Chong's heart has already become cold. For a while, he even felt like a body without a soul, or an emotionless spirit.

It wasn't until he unexpectedly met Ziyang that Ah Chong suddenly had a warm feeling in his heart, like meeting a long-lost relative.

Ah Chong is also very conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, he wants to have more contact with Ziyang, on the other hand, Ah Chong doesn't want Ziyang to get too close to him. He knows how dangerous the world he lives in, he doesn't want his "work" to involve Ziyang, he hopes that Ziyang can live an ordinary life like ordinary people.

But it backfired, and Ah Chong felt that Ziyang had sunk deeper and deeper......

Suddenly, Su Rui braked suddenly, and the violent bump pulled Ah Chong back to reality from his memories of thoughts.

"What's wrong?" Ah Chong straightened Qingwen's crooked body and asked. Ever since the spirit control, Qingwen has been in a coma. Ah Chong injected him with glucose to supplement his nutrition.

"The jeep stopped." Su Rui looked at the rearview mirror and replied.

Everyone got out of the car and rushed over, and saw Lao Wang squatting next to the jeep and said angrily: "No, the car broke down." ”

After subduing the "giant corpse", everyone drove quickly, although they drove at full power, but because of the thin air in the plateau area, the power of the car was also seriously insufficient, and the vehicle was very difficult to travel on this bad road condition.

After holding out for a day and a night, Lao Wang's jeep finally couldn't hold on, and the engine struggled to cough twice, spit out a puff of white smoke, and completely stopped eating.

Lao Wang touched the hood with a stunned look, from the time he entered Tibet to the present, the jeep has been overloaded, and it has been running thousands of miles in a harsh environment.

Su Rui's Land Cruiser was no better, hunched most of the weight and the body of the giant corpse of 3 or 4 hundred catties along the way, and ran on the rugged mountain road for so long, it was already a miracle that it did not break anchor.

Su Rui used a telescope to observe the terrain in the distance, there was actually no road ahead, the terrain was winding up, the road was full of gravel, and every kilometer forward was very difficult.

Lao Wang complained: "What kind of assembly place did Jin Guoqiang choose, the car can't drive." ”

Zi Yang comforted him, "This kind of plateau exploration situation is unpredictable, and accidents are inevitable, not to mention that Jin Guoqiang also changed his plan temporarily, and he is not familiar with this side." We're just going to have to improvise. ”

Lao Wang snorted in his nose: "It doesn't matter if you change your plan, don't be abducted into the ditch by Li Laogou." “

What Lao Wang said was exactly what Ziyang was worried about. Although Jin Guoqiang brought a few well-trained staff, Uncle Li was too cunning, and if he had bad intentions, Jin Guoqiang and they might not be able to deal with it.

However, at present, Uncle Li has no motivation to do so, unless they make a major discovery......

Su Rui looked at the map: "Now there are two options, the first is to drive around the road and go around in a circle to reach the assembly place from the direction where another car can travel. ”

Zi Yang looked at the map in her hand and shook her head and said, "It's not realistic, if you have to walk dozens of kilometers more, can your car hold it?" And now we have one car left. There is simply no room for so many people. ”

Zi Yang looked worriedly at the giant corpse sitting there motionless, now this "thing" has become a huge burden. Upload "it" along the way until now, the tires have burst once, what to do with this guy Ah Chong didn't say, I don't know what his intention is to keep it with him?

Su Rui nodded and said, "I think so too, we are only a few kilometers away from the assembly place in a straight line, and it will take about 1 or 2 hours to take a shortcut." ”

Lao Wang was anxious, "What do you mean?" Are you going to abandon the car and move forward? It's not that serious, it's—what a pity......"

Lao Wang's distress was not his broken jeep, but Su Rui's Land Cruiser.

Su Rui said, "There's no way, it's just like this, we're in a hurry now." I don't know what to expect if you take a long detour - and there's not enough gas. Now in this situation, it is no longer realistic to continue driving, although there are only dozens of kilometers of road, but this kind of terrain, at least half a day. ”

"It's all to blame on this big ......" Lao Wang looked at the giant corpse and stopped talking, then changed the topic, "Why don't you call Jin Guoqiang to pick us up?" ”

Zi Yang complained to him: "Can you have some talent?" When there is difficulty, find others, and when there is trouble, Jin Guoqiang - I think he has a point, Su Rui, can you contact Jin Guoqiang? ”

Su Rui shook his head, "I tried to contact several times after the signal was cut off yesterday, but there was no response. We can get in touch with my brother, but they're too far away from us to be counted on. ”

Zi Yang said worriedly: "In this situation of communication interruption, what is the chance of equipment failure?" ”

Su Rui said: "It's very small, the communication equipment we use is military-grade, and the main components are backed up, and they can't be contacted unless they ......."

Su Rui didn't say that everyone understood her subtext, Jin Guoqiang and Uncle Li's team might have had an accident.

Ah Chong, who had been silent, looked up at the towering mountain peaks in the distance, and said expressionlessly: "There is no time to hesitate, abandon the car and walk." ”

Everyone glanced at each other, although Ah Chong had been silent, but his words were equivalent to orders, and even Lao Wang, who had a lot of nonsense thieves, had to admit his authority, and everyone silently packed up their things at the moment.

Before departure, the car carried a lot of supplies in large bags and small bags, and after the consumption along the way, it was almost used.

Ziyang, Lao Wang, and Su Rui each carried a set of hiking bags, which were filled with water, food, and medicine. Ah Chong tied the other instruments and tents to the giant corpse, and it carried dozens of kilograms of things as if they were fine—it could finally be of some use.

After everything was cleaned up, Ah Chong carried Qingwen on his back. Braving the wind and snow, the group marched towards the assembly site at the foot of the Himalayas.

Lao Wang turned back one step at a time, looking at the mottled jeep reluctantly, the first car in his life was scrapped like this, which was more uncomfortable than the first lovebreak......

Ziyang patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, "If the old doesn't go, the new won't come, let's make a better one when we go back." ”

Lao Wang seemed to be encouraged: "Why wait to go back?" When we meet Jin Guoqiang, we will blackmail him and ask him to reimburse us! ”

Su Rui pursed his lips and smiled silently, these two brothers can be so funny no matter what situation they encounter, they are really natural optimists.

The "shortcut" they chose was not easy to walk, not to mention the rugged terrain, and they had to withstand the fierce wind and snow. God seems to be deliberately working against them, and since leaving the village of Lorong Demba, the climate has become very harsh, not only the temperature drops rapidly, but also the wind blows from time to time.

Su Rui used a mountaineering rope to connect everyone together, and the giant corpse walked in front to help everyone block the wind, just pulling and walking.

After turning over a rugged mountain, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and on the hillside a few hundred meters ahead, colorful flags appeared, sounding fiercely in the wind.

The colors of the flags are very mixed, red, yellow, white, blue, green, strips of cloth more than ten meters long, one end is wrapped around a pillar several meters high in the center, and the other end is fixed on the ground around it, waving and swaying between the earth and the sky.

"Five-colored wind horse prayer flag!" Su Rui stopped and took a breath and said. "Right here, let's take a break and rehydrate and eat."

And when they came to them, they saw that the cloth was in all sorts of shapes, squares, corners, and strips. The materials are also very miscellaneous, cloth, linen yarn, silk and clay paper, some of which are made in the shape of small flags, which are printed with dense Tibetan mantras, scriptures, Buddha statues, and some mascot graphics.

Su Rui introduced to everyone: "This small flag is called 'Longda' in Tibetan, also known as 'Wind Horse Banner', 'Long' means wind in Tibetan, and 'Da' means horse. ”

Lao Wang next door picked up a small flag and looked left and right: "I understand every word you say, but I don't understand it when you connect it, what is this Fengma flag for?" ”

Su Rui said with a smile: "The Wind Horse Flag is a kind of sacrificial culture, and the 'Wind Horse' refers to the number of human qi and luck in a deep sense, or specifically refers to the five elements; ”

Lao Wang nodded to show that he understood, and then asked: "This wind horse flag is planted here, does it mean that it occupies a territory?" Some people are lying here resting on their backs, will people run out to fight and kill or something? ”

Zi Yang, who was lying on the side, couldn't help but retort to him: "Do you think that the Tibetan compatriots are all uncivilized barbarians like you?" Fight and kill at every turn. ”

Lao Wang glanced at the giant corpse standing silently next to him, and muttered, "That's not accurate." ”

Su Rui also sat on the ground, holding a prayer flag and carefully studying the words on it. By the way, help Lao Wang popularize common sense:

"There are many situations in which the wind horse flag is hoisted, and it is all related to blessings, and as far as I know, it has nothing to do with war.

When the people in Tibetan areas celebrate their birthdays and festivals, they must hang colorful wind and horse flags, symbolizing the harmony and auspiciousness of heaven, earth, people and animals;

There are also those herdsmen who live in pursuit of water and grass, and every time they migrate, the first thing they do after setting up their tents is to hang the wind and horse flags to pray for the permission and blessings of the surrounding gods;

Pilgrims trek through the desert and wilderness in groups, and they must also carry a striking wind horse flag to pray for protection from misfortune and disaster;

People on the riverside and lake planted wind and horse flags all over the place to show their awe and worship of the tree spirit water god;

People living in the mountains and forests hang the wind and horse flags high to show their devotion and worship to the mountain gods and rock gods;

Hang colorful wind flags in the holy sites and ancient temples to express the worship and praise of the gods and Buddhas and the sages and saints;

At the intersection of mountains and rivers, the wind horse is in the hope that the boat and car will be unhindered...... In general, in their view, the Wind Horse Banner is a universal medium for communication between the secular and spiritual worlds. ”

Zi Yang had to admire Su Rui's erudition, and in order to show that he was eager to learn, he asked respectfully: "Teacher Su, I have counted the colors of this flag, is there anything to pay attention to?" ”

Su Rui smiled and said, "The colors of the Wind Horse Flag are divided into five types: white, yellow, red, green, and blue. Color has a clear meaning here, that is, the so-called four directions of the universe of red in the west, green in the east, yellow in the south, and green in the north.

In the minds of Tibetans, white is pure and kind, red is prosperous and strong, green is feminine and peaceful, yellow is benevolent and knowledgeable, and blue is brave and witty. ”

Lao Wang nodded, so he said smartly: "I understand, if you divide it according to your personality, Xiao Su is the white that represents purity and kindness." Brother Chong is a thriving and fierce red. As for me, I'm blue brave and witty......"

Zi Yang really couldn't stand him being so shameless, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, you should be yellow, not the benevolent and erudite yellow, but the old rascal's yellow ......"

Lao Wang turned over and scuffled with Ziyang. Ah Chong saw that they were making a lot of noise, and persuaded him beside him: "Okay, okay, don't make trouble, save your energy, and continue to hurry after resting." ”

As soon as the words came out, even Ah Chong felt a little strange, this was not his style of speaking in the past. After staying with these two living treasures for a long time, even I have become a little "cheesy".

Su Rui also stood up and said, "Yes, let's continue to set off, there are five-colored wind horse prayer flags here, and it should not be far from our scheduled gathering place." ”

Zi Yang and Lao Wang stopped scuffling, and everyone packed their bags and continued on their way.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the assembly point agreed with Jin Guoqiang.

The camp was a mess, and the littered household garbage showed that a large number of people had camped here not long ago.

But now there is not even a figure.

Su Rui looked at the map and frowned: "No, according to the location at the time of the last contact, they should be camped here and waiting for us." ”
