Along the way, the fat man has been walking beside Gao Chao, and at this moment Da Lao Hei walked in front of him, how awkward he looked, he always felt that no matter what happened, as long as Da Lao Hei overpowered him, he would be uncomfortable.

When Gao Chao saw him like this, he knew what he was thinking, so he teased the fat man: "What's the matter, fat man, you didn't hug enough last night, did you?" Are you still thinking about people? ”

The fat man was stunned for a moment, glared and said, "What kind of mess?" Lao Gao, what do you mean by that? ”

Gao Chao laughed out loud, and then smiled: "I drank last night, and the two of you hugged each other and drank until the earth was desolate, this big guy saw it, and now I'm afraid it's all a good story." ”

"What?" The fat man almost fainted, grinning and said: "It's really bad, I said why did I get up this morning, the eyes of the big black looking at me are not right, could it be that last night, my fat man's round and jade body was ruined by him?" I'm damned, I want to ...... now."

As he spoke, the fat man spat on the ground, and the big black in front also heard the movement, and looked back at the fat man.

In this way, in such an atmosphere, the group slowly advanced towards the top of the mountain, which is the first mountain beam of the ancient road, and they have to climb over from here in order to go all the way down and truly enter the dense forest of the Gaoligong Mountains.

Probably when it was almost dark, they had come to the position close to the pass, and the temperature around them had dropped significantly, although the weather was still sunny, but everyone had to put on the down jackets that had been prepared long ago to resist the cold on the mountain.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Jiang Ji found a leeward place for everyone to set up camp, and then everyone stopped, unloaded the supplies from the mules, propped up the tents, and prepared to spend the night.

There was nothing to say that night, and everyone walked for a day, and after dinner, they all went into the tent to rest.

Gao Chao lay in the tent, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, he found that in the dead of night, he would be homesick, think of his father, and think of the past, which made Gao Chao very sad and a little helpless, and said that he was a big man, how did he start to become so fragile and sad, this is not good.

So he opened the tent, ready to go out to put water and smoke a cigarette, and then came back to sleep, but when he walked out of the tent, he found Jiang Ji also sitting alone at the entrance of his tent, looking at the moon in the sky in a daze.

Jiang Ji's impression of Gao Chao was that he was in a daze, and Gao Chao didn't understand why this Kangzang young man who was about the same age as himself could have such an introverted personality, almost every time he saw Jiang Ji, he was in a daze somewhere.

So Gao Chao looked at Jiang Ji and decided to go over and say hello to him, after all, it will take many days to come down this way, and now everyone is familiar with each other, which is also good.

Thinking like this in his heart, Gao Chao came to Jiang Ji's tent and sat down, and then he and Jiang Ji glanced at each other, nodded, and said hello before looking at the moon in the sky with Jiang Ji in a daze.

After looking at it like this for a while, Gao Chaocai said softly: "Jiang Ji, what are you looking at?" ”

A faint smile suddenly appeared on Jiang Ji's face, and then he replied in Tibetan: "Aji." ”

Gao Chao was stunned, "Aji" is the meaning of his father, Jiang Ji looked at the moon, how could he see his father? Could it be that he is also missing his father?

Suddenly, Gao Chao had a good impression of this mysterious Jiang Ji, although he didn't know how to chat and communicate with Jiang Ji, but he felt inexplicably that there seemed to be a lot of similarities between himself and Jiang Ji.

In the next few days, everyone is familiar with the environment in Gaoligong Mountain, where the vertical temperature difference is very large, every time you turn over the mountain pass, you have to endure the severe winter weather, and when you go down to the dense forest at the bottom of the valley, it seems to enter the tropical rainforest at once, so everyone has to always change their clothes, and finally simply tie their clothes around their waists, take them off when they are hot, and wear them when they are cold, and they are almost adapted.

In this way, after walking for four days in a row, they are still walking along the ancient road, although they always cross the mountains and mountains, wade through the water and cross the river, but fortunately, it is an ancient road under their feet after all, and it is not difficult to walk.

But on the fifth day, when Wang Lianba took out the map, he told everyone that from now on, they needed to advance north and slowly enter the deep mountains.

This is also the no-man's land that Lao Lai once said, because in the deep mountains, even the poaching hunters are unwilling to enter, even the most experienced Kangzang guides will stop here, even if he is given more money, it is impossible for him to lead people into the deep mountains ahead.

And at this moment, in their team, Jiang Ji is also the guide of Kangzang, but Jiang Ji seems to be more eager than anyone else to enter this unknown deep mountain, without saying a word, he has already led four mules, still walking in the forefront, taking the lead towards the depths of the dense forest.

The group followed him and slowly marched through the rainforest at the bottom of the valley.

In fact, the Gaoligong mountainous area, the mountains are stacked, there are many mountains, but they are all north-south direction, so in the north-south direction, there are many valleys and ravines, although there is no road to walk in it, but it is not difficult to walk, especially at this moment the person leading the way in front of him, is the very experienced Jiang Ji, he is holding a long knife in front of him, constantly chopping left and right, removing some plants and vines on the road, so that the road is better.

However, the entire Gaoligong Mountain Area is still high in the north and low in the south, so everyone is still going all the way up at the moment, but the slope is slightly gentle, and there is not much feeling.

In this way, four mules and six people, towards the Gaoligong Mountains deep in the mountains of no man's land, along the way the fat man has been asking all kinds of questions to the old man, obviously the fat man is a little worried about the legend in this no man's land, but the old man has no reservations, he knows the stories, add oil and vinegar to the fat man to tell it again, so that the fat man is frightened by him, always startled, see anything slightly abnormal, will be a little too nervous.

Gao Chao followed Jiang Ji's side, since the night he felt that Jiang Ji was not bad, the two of them could often communicate with each other a little simply, the two of them became friends, but they rarely spoke to each other.

After Wang Lianba entered this mountainous area, he always observed a GPS in his hand, and he had already entered the approximate location of the ancient city of Yinshan into the GPS in advance, so at this moment, he often checked it, but he was also worried that he would take the wrong road and waste time.

And Da Lao Hei is the most obscure of these six people, except for being able to notice him during the meal, as if he is a shadow at other times, he never speaks, but after entering this no-man's land, he does not leave Wang Lianba's left and right, and does the duty that a bodyguard should do.

In this way, they spent the first day in the no-man's land, and that night Jiang Ji chose a higher campsite, because at this time in the dense forest, mosquitoes began to increase for some reason, sometimes if they didn't pay attention, they would be bitten by a mosquito the size of a moth, and after a while, a big bag would be swollen, and it was not a problem of itching at all, but a problem of pain.

The fat man was bitten, just staring at his neck, swollen and very high, Jiang Ji smeared some Tibetan ointment for him, which could only be relieved slightly, the fat man didn't even eat dinner at night, so he drank two sips of the soju brought by Wang Lianba, and went to sleep in the tent early, in his words, only when he fell asleep, his neck would not be uncomfortable.

At this moment, even at night, it is not cool, the climate of the tropical rainforest is very humid, everywhere is like a sauna, stuffy and uncomfortable, panting is uncomfortable, but there are too many mosquitoes and too poisonous, even if it is hot at the moment, I have to wear long clothes and trousers, let the sweat flow all over the body, and I don't want to move, because a movement is a sweat, it is really unbearable.

So after dinner, everyone went into their tents early, at least in the tent, they could take off and sleep, as if they could be a little more comfortable.

After that, the group continued to advance north for three days in the deep mountain no man's land, due to environmental factors, the speed of progress was very slow, but from Wang Lianba's GPS, they had begun to approach the location of the ancient city of Yinshan, but the GPS could not be accurately located, it only determined an area.

In the past three days of travel, the height where they are located, has risen a lot, the average altitude at the moment, has been about 2000 meters, the surrounding environment has also undergone a lot of changes, at least here is no longer the kind of tropical rainforest climate, everyone wears long-sleeved clothes and pants, and does not feel so uncomfortable, although mosquitoes still exist, but relative to the lower altitude area on the south side, the number of mosquitoes here, obviously not so much.

However, although the difficulties of the past have decreased, there are also new difficulties that are increasing, the most important is the dense plant forest, because at the valley bottom on the south side, most of the plants are mostly large woody vines and arbor species, and the huge roots and trunks of the forest abound, and the epiphytes of the Araceae and Pepperaceae are also dense like spider webs on the trunks and branches of the forest, which are typical tropical rainforest plants, and some more, there are the majority of large-leaved herbaceous plants in the forest, such as wild plantain and sheath flowersIt's really like a cow's hair.

But as the altitude increases, the species of plants begin to change slowly, especially on the third day when we come to an altitude of 2000 meters, the plants show a transitional stage, where there are both plants in the tropical rainforest, as well as many species of warm temperate coniferous forests and broad-leaved forests, so the vines are staggered, thick branches and large leaves, blocking the road in front of the road tightly, and above the ground, there are many criss-crossed thick roots, there is really no place to put your feet.

In this case, every step forward, it takes a lot of hard work, everyone has no rut, they all hold the knife they carry in their hands, regardless of the big knife or small knife, when they see the vines and branches blocking the road in front of them, they use the knife to cut and cut, it is really miserable.

On the third day, after a whole day, at the last look, everyone had only walked out of the distance of one kilometer, which was really at a loss, and there was really no other better way.

People are so tired, the four mules can't stand it either, after all, as soon as the speed of this march is slow, a lot of poisonous mosquitoes and insects gather around them, which is a once-in-a-century feast for those blood-sucking insects, so they frantically began to attack the four mules, making them whine and scream, and making people even more upset, Jiang Ji was anxious and distressed about the mule, so he covered the mule with his clothes to cover the epidermis, but those mosquitoes were like crazy, and they went to bite through their clothes, and there was really no way.

In the evening, the four mules were covered with red spots, which made people feel distressed, but Jiang Ji could only take out the Tibetan ointment that was applied to people and apply anti-inflammatory to the mules a little bit, but no one knew if these mules could still hold up.

When it was dark, the group couldn't care about finding any suitable places, one by one they were so tired that they had already lost their strength, everyone set up their tents randomly, and they all went in to rest, no one still wanted to say a word, Jiang Ji reluctantly built a bonfire in the middle of several tents, and then added some dry firewood, and also got into his tent.

I don't know how long it took, the night seemed to get deeper and deeper, and the silence around me was as quiet as death, except for the occasional strange sound of birds, but in the camp, everyone was already asleep, as if this night, like those nights, would slowly pass in a quiet place.

But this night was different.

In the wee hours of the morning, when everyone was in a deep sleep, the camp was silent, cold, and the occasional snoring in the tent indicated that they were really tired.

But at such a quiet moment, suddenly, a miserable hiss sound, mercilessly pierced the silent night sky.
