Chapter 238: The Source of the Blood River
The fat man was, of course, the most uncomfortable of the four, and before evening, he had drunk all his water.
Gao Chao had no choice but to give the water to the fat man to drink, and he himself was actually enduring the torment.
The main reason is that the oxygen content exhaled by the human body is very low, which will lead to insufficient oxygen content in the blood, and when the human body is exercising, the muscles will secrete a certain amount of lactic acid, which stimulates the nerves in the muscles, which will make people feel muscle soreness, and oxygen can just react with lactic acid to reduce the fatigue produced by lactic acid.
But in this high-altitude hypoxia situation, because the oxygen content in their body is very low, they can only endure the soreness of the whole body and a strong feeling of fatigue, which is difficult to describe in words.
In this way, according to Esati's estimation, they were just approaching that position in the evening, the position of the boundary between the red and green rivers.
About a hundred meters ahead, it can already be clearly seen that the upper reaches of the river are showing a normal turquoise color, while the lower reaches of the river are the bright red color, which is exactly the same as blood.
Seeing this, Gao Chao was still very worried, he began to look across the river, hoping to find the red pollution source on the opposite mountain wall, but he looked for a long time, but found nothing, and then he suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Afraid of something, just as they continued to walk forward for a few dozen meters, the fat man exclaimed: "My grass, you should look at the mountainside." ”
The fat man had stopped, pointing to the mountain wall on their side. I was surprised.
And all the people looked up. Only then did I find out that it was on the mountainside not far away. There was a stone platform that was not obvious, and in the light of the setting sun, there were streams of bright red water pouring down from above the stone platform.
Looking at it this way, although the amount of water was not large, the red was a thick bright red, like concentrated blood, and it flowed all the way down the stone platform. Along the cracks in the mountains, they all end up flowing into the river.
That should be the reason why the river is turning red.
Gao Chao sighed, the last thing he wanted to happen, still happened.
The source of the pollution was in the direction they were heading, which meant that they would now have to find a way to cross the river of blood that flowed down the mountain, and it would be very dangerous, because no one knew what kind of threat those bright red rivers had.
Gao Chao was worried, but Essetti seemed a little excited. He looked at the stone platform on the mountainside, and the color of his face turned a little red.
Gao Chao didn't notice him. He just walked forward as fast as he could, trying to see how wide the river of blood that flowed down the mountain in front of him was.
When he came to him, Gao Chao was dumbfounded, there were thousands of ravines on the Pamir Plateau, and it was really very hidden, and he stood on the edge of the river of blood, only to realize that the river was much wider than he thought.
The blood river that flows down from the mountainside is more than 10 meters wide, and its water is still very fast, and the bright red water flows into the big river in the valley, dyeing the downstream of the river bright red.
Gao Chao was helpless, unloaded the backpack on his shoulder, and then he sat on the ground and sighed deeply.
The fat man came to him, took two cigarettes out of his pocket, and the two of them lit the cigarettes, both of them looking sad.
Xia Qing was also on the side, she looked at the river channel more than 10 meters wide, but she didn't seem to be too worried, but Ai Seti didn't look at the blood river in front of her at all, he seemed to be more concerned about the stone platform halfway up the mountainside, so he kept tilting his head and staring towards the mountainside in a daze.
Gao Chao took a puff of cigarette before sitting on the ground and looking at Esetti, and said, "I said Esetti, how do you think we should get through here now?" ”
Essetti then turned his head and looked at Gao Chao, and then he went to observe the river of blood in front of him.
He suddenly looked a little worried, and said: "This river must not be able to wade through, if it passes like this, no one dares to guarantee whether there is poison in this red river." ”
Gao Chao looked at Aceti and thought he was really strange, he had never seen him worry so much when he saw the lake turn red before.
Xia Qing also said: "If this red river water really flows out of the blood coffin, then we'd better not touch it, because this red color is probably a bacterium that we don't understand." ”
When the fat man heard this, he was shocked: "Bacteria? I said Xia Qing, can you not always say such words, I listen to bacteria, viruses and the like, and my whole body will be uncomfortable. ”
Gao Chao sighed and said, "But this river of blood is too wide, if we don't wade through here, then what else do you think we can do?" ”
Gao Chao's words made everyone a little helpless, and the 10-meter-wide river was indeed a big obstacle for them.
However, just when several people were at a loss, Aseti suddenly said: "Dear friends, we Tajiks have a saying that if a goat wants to graze, it will climb up the mountain, and now if we want to cross the river, it seems that we can only climb up the mountain." ”
Gao Chao looked at Esati in confusion and said, "What do you mean......"
Essetti raised his head and looked at the stone slab on the mountainside, and said, "If I want to pass through here, I think I have to go around the top of the stone slab." ”
Everyone couldn't help but look up, but found that the mountainside where the stone slab was located was really steep, let alone bypassing it, even if they wanted to climb to the stone slab, I am afraid it would not be easy.
So the fat man was a little worried, and said: "I said Avanti, your idea is not very good, according to what you say, we can go anywhere, as long as we encounter obstacles on the road, we will climb up, and we can always get around, but you also have to consider the actual situation, right?" Look at this steep mountain, don't say we can't climb it, I think even your goats here may not be able to climb up, right? ”
Gao Chao and Xia Qing were also looking at the steep mountain in a daze, and they didn't have much confidence in their hearts.
However, Esati suddenly smiled and said: "This mountain, in your eyes, may seem like an impenetrable wall, but in the eyes of us Tajiks, it is like a long staircase, as long as we stand below and observe for a while, we know how to climb it." ”
The fat man pouted and said: "Hey, Avanti, I just found out, you are quite capable of bragging, you can tell me, why are you Tajiks so good, you can see the mountains as steps." (To be continued.) )
