Chapter 230: The Darkness Before Dawn

Xia Qing stopped, Gao Chao and the fat man also glanced at each other, and the three of them didn't react yet, what did Aceti mean by this.

After a while, the fat man said: "Lao Gao, Xia Qing, what does he mean...... Is it agreed? ”

Xia Qing let out a sigh of relief, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Gao Chao looked at Xia Qing's appearance, and then turned his head to look at the fat man, but he was a little worried.

"It seems that he did agree, but what are we going to do? Do you want to buy a mule to carry him? He's so old, how are we going to take care of him? ”

Gao Chao's tone seemed worried, his words were said to the fat man, but he said them to Xia Qing.

Of course, Xia Qing also understood what Gao Chao meant, but she didn't seem to be worried, but suddenly said to the fat man very easily: "Fatty, you can relax tonight, I remember that there is a good restaurant in Yukak Village, how about we come to roast a leg of lamb at night?" ”

Xia Qing didn't answer Gao Chao's words, but he hooked out the fat man's gluttony at once, and when the fat man heard this, he jumped up directly and said, "That's a good dare!" But you are a good person to the end, Xia Qing, you have to get me two bottles of aged Yili Laojiao, I heard Lao Li tell me, Yili Laojiao tastes like that, it's ......"

The fat man was talking and drooling, and he and Xia Qing walked outside, leaving Gao Chao stunned alone, watching them regard themselves as shadows.

This is really inexplicable, Gao Chaoxin said what's wrong? Is that the end of it? How can such a thing in such a hurry seem to have all been done with a sentence from Esset? When did this Xia Qing become so big-hearted?

However, Gao Chao did not know that the Tajiks regarded it as if it were life, and as long as the Tajiks agreed to something, they would never go back.

Superb helpless. He sighed, and prepared to follow them and go back with them, but something suddenly occurred to him, so he stopped and looked behind the wall.

"Where did Esai mention go? There was no house behind that wall at all. Does Esetti live here? What's behind the walls? ”

Gao Chao muttered in his heart, curiosity had taken possession of him, and he looked back at the backs of Xia Qing and the fat man, they hadn't gone far yet.

So Gao Chao made up his mind, he wanted to see this strange Esetti, what his secret was.

Gao Chao took three steps and made two steps, and ran to the side of the wall, and he looked behind the wall, but behind the wall. There was nothing but a trip on the ground that looked like friction marks dragged by Aceti, and other than that, there didn't seem to be anything special.

Gao Chao was puzzled, and looked along the wall into the distance, he squinted his eyes, only to see that at the end of the far wall, there seemed to be a black hole.

"How can this be?"

Gao Chao stared at the hole. It was pitch black, about a meter wide. He thought to himself, Azett must not have lived in that hole.

Thinking like this in his heart, Gao Chao couldn't help but shudder, what kind of people would live in caves? And it's still such a narrow cave.

He was suspicious, at this time, the fat man in the distance suddenly called out to him, Gao Chao was startled by the fat man's loud voice, and then waved his hand at the fat man's side. He turned his head to look at the hole in the distance, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

The fat man urged him again, and he sighed and ran in the direction of the fat man and Xia Qing.

The strong sunlight shone on this long-forgotten village, and everything was so dazzling and desolate. But it was as dark and cold as the cave on the side of the wall.

In the cave, it was as if there were a pair of eyes watching everything outside, and those eyes were bright red, like two drops of bright red blood.

When night came, a bright red bonfire was lit in the courtyard of a restaurant in the village of Yuuk, and two legs of lamb were erected around the fire, and some people were sitting talking and laughing.

Some people are chatting, some people are drinking, some people are eating meat, and some people are worried.

Gao Chao is worried.

Watching the fat man eat meat and drink wine in a big bowl, he couldn't be happy.

He turned his head and looked at Xia Qing on the side, Xia Qing and the village chief were chatting, as if they were learning about things near the Pamirs, and she could always get the information she wanted in a very easy way.

Lao Li is drinking with the fat man, and he is also very happy, just because he has already received his share of the remuneration in advance, and he will also get more money, because he promised Xia Qing to wait until they come back in Yukak Village, and as for all the expenses for eating, drinking, and living here, of course, Xia Qing is responsible.

That's why Lao Li will enjoy the delicious lamb leg meat like the fat man, as well as the mellow Yili Laojiao.

But Gao Chao held the wine and looked at the meat, although he wanted to eat and drink, but he was still thinking about the old man Esetti, he always felt that Esetti was very strange, and everything about him seemed to be abnormal.

His appearance, his face, and the way he acted, it seemed that only Xia Qing didn't care much about these things.

Could it be that Xia Qing is hiding something?

Gao Chao sighed, many things bothered him again, which reminded him of many questions in the ancient city of Yinshan.

Those questions have not yet been answered, but now more questions have arisen, what is the connection between these things?

Gao Chao didn't even dare to think about it anymore, because he felt as if he had fallen deeper and deeper, but he didn't know what kind of thing he had fallen into.

The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he picked up the wine bowl, drank the whole bowl of Ganlie's Yili Laojiao, and then poured himself a bowl of wine, looking at the bonfire in front of him, a little dazed.

Xia Qing, who was also sitting by the bonfire, seemed to be secretly observing Gao Chao, her eyes seemed to be a little worried, and she seemed to be a little guilty, in short, it was a very complicated feeling, but Gao Chao didn't notice all this.

The night before departure is always the longest, like the darkness before the dawn, always the coldest.

This night, Gao Chao didn't know when he fell asleep, and he was still thinking about Esetti in his sleep.

Esetti's blood-red eyes appeared in front of him again, making him shudder, and when he woke up from his dream, he found that Lao Li, who slept in the same room, had already gotten up.

Gao Chao looked at his watch, it was 8 o'clock in the morning, but the sun had not yet risen here, and the time zone here in the westernmost part of China was about two hours later than the northern/Beijing time.

So Gao Chao rolled over and got out of bed, and he tried to call the fat man, but the fat man just rolled over and quickly fell asleep again.

Gao Chao sighed, thinking that it was better to let him sleep a little longer, after all, he drank a lot of wine last night.

Dressed and groomed, packed the food and necessary supplies prepared yesterday in a travel bag, and walked out of the room lightly.

When he came to the yard, he found that Lao Li was already checking the vehicle, the machine cover of the pickup truck was opened, and Lao Li was lying on the engine, as if listening to something.

Gao Chao put the backpack in the rear car, and then walked to Lao Li's side and said, "What's wrong?" Lao Li, is there a problem with the car? ”

Lao Li stood up, shook his head, and said: "It's not that there is a problem, this car is old, and when it arrives in such a plateau area, it will be unbearable, and it will be the same as people......" As he spoke, Lao Li smiled and continued: "How is it, did you sleep well last night?" It's close to 4,000 meters above sea level, are you still used to it? ”

Gao Chao looked a little tired and said, "It's quite adaptable, I've had this experience before, so I didn't react much." ”

Lao Li nodded and said: "It's okay here, mainly because there is a lot of vegetation nearby, although the altitude is not low, but the oxygen content is still okay, but if you go to the mountains, the situation is different, it is said that from Ishek Village to the west into the mountains, it won't take long to see the green, everywhere is the deserted Gobi, where the altitude will be higher, the air is thinner, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Gao Chao smiled and nodded, he didn't say anything, he actually sighed secretly, and said in his heart that even if the environment there was bad, I am afraid it would not be as dangerous as half of the ancient city of Yinshan. (To be continued.) )
