Chapter 9: Syros
We don't know how long we walked to the Aral Ranch, it is really "the sky is blue, the wilderness is vast, the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep", here is the sea of sheep, the world of cattle, the world of horses, and the paradise of herdsmen.

We passed through many flocks of sheep and greeted many herders along the way before we entered the vast Arar pasture.
When we got to the ranch, it was already very dark, and normally it should be a very hot season, but I just felt a cool breeze blowing from the soles of my feet to the top of my head. Although the distant peaks are covered with snow, you can still feel the heat during the day, but at night you can feel a chill.
There is a Lengrad River near the Arar Ranch, and this Death Valley is located in the Lengel Gorge, which is the world-famous Kunlun Mountain Death Valley, in the middle and upper reaches of the Lengrad River.
Knowing that we were not busy traveling overnight, and that the fatigue of this body really needed to be relieved, we met a warm-hearted herdsman on the way, and when we asked him questions, he was full of smiles, and sat down and pointed to his flock to tell us his story, although the accent was a little strange, but we could still understand what he meant.
Listen to his introduction, his name is Turos Batur, his ancestors are Mongolian, Yuan and Mongolian, during the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia's Yirati Department, which belongs to the surname of the Sinicization of the name of the tribal clan, that is, one of the largest tribes in Mongolia in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the Warat Department, is the predecessor of the Dzungar Department, the Heshute Department, the Turghut Department, and the Dulbert Department, and his ancestors are members of the tribe.
He also said that he said that he had spent his life in Xinjiang, Tibet, Mongolia and other regions, and later came to Qinghai, where he lived by shepherding sheep in Alar in the Kunlun Mountains.
In the evening, because we were really tired, we cheekily asked if we could come to his house for a night, and thanks to the enthusiasm of Ross, we gladly accepted.
When we arrived at his house, we put down our backpacks, and he quickly instructed his wife to cook food, and in addition to a few bowls of hot goat's milk, there was also fragrant and cooked lamb.
We smiled and said thank you without being polite, we were a little hungry.
Seeing this, the second uncle saw that he was grabbing the mutton on the table and nibbling wildly, and when the second uncle saw this, he helplessly said to the herdsman's family: "He is such a person." ”
Abu looked at us and felt that he had been rude. Smirked: "I've never eaten such delicious mutton." And his mouth was full of minced mutton, and his face was covered with oil, and people who didn't know thought he hadn't eaten or drunk for days.
When I heard Abu say this, I also smiled and said to him, "Do you think that these muttons are all from Uncle Rose's own family, like our places, what kind of clenbuterol is added, inferior fresh meat?" I smiled again and looked at Rose and said, "Uncle Rose, you're right. ”
Uncle Rose held a bowl of goat's milk in his hand and replied: "Yes, yes, these are all our own sheep, fed in the natural pasture, of course they are fragrant." ”
At this time, he looked at the many backpacks on our ground, seemed a little puzzled, and asked, "Are you here for a trip?" ”
We don't know how to explain it, saying that we are here to fight, and we feel sorry for the hospitality, and if we talk about what kind of National Geological Survey we are, it is unrealistic.
At this time, my father put down the mutton in his hand, wiped his hands, walked over and opened a backpack, showed the trekking poles and mountaineering poles in it to Zhu Luo, and said: "Brother, in fact, we came to Kunlun Mountain to explore, and we are used to adventures all our lives, and we can't stay idle at home, so we will come to this Kunlun Mountain for a walk, isn't it too late?" So come to your house for one night and leave tomorrow. ”
"Uh-oh." When he heard this, he replied, "Then you have to be careful, this Kunlun Mountain is dangerous, there are many adventure lovers who have lost their lives before, but I don't know what you think in your hearts, so I don't advise you, I have encountered some adventures before, I have also persuaded them, but they said that this adventure, even if they lose their lives, it is not a pity, and they also said that as long as their spirit is there, it will be fine." ”
Listening to Rose say this, I really want to tell him the truth, seeing that he is such a kind person, and he has to bear this kind of lie from my father, but think about it, forget it, we are not bad people except for the inverted fight, and we usually do a lot of good things, although they are all small things, but they are enough to show our hearts.
After hearing what Gullos said, the second uncle drank a cup of goat's milk and asked, "Comrade Queros, do you know which direction the Kunlun Mountain Death Valley is closer to?" ”
When he heard this, he was anxious, and said excitedly: "Hey, you can't go to Death Valley, and you won't be able to come back if you go in." ”
As soon as I heard this, I thought that Uncle Death Valley must have a deeper understanding of this Death Valley, and asked, "Uncle Rose, is this Death Valley really that terrifying?" ”
"It's terrifying, you don't know, several of our herdsmen in this ranch died in that valley of death." ”
"And how did they get into that Death Valley?" I asked again.
He sighed and said, "Don't you know that the grass in this pasture is not as fertile as the grass in Death Valley, so there are often cows, sheep, and horses that run into the Death Valley to eat the fat grass, and some herdsmen are reluctant to livestock, so they run into the Death Valley to find the livestock, but in the end, the livestock come out and the people are gone." ”
"The man?" Abu asked as he ate.
"This man, of course, is dead inside, once we thought that if the herdsman was still alive, we ventured in to look for him, but what we did not expect was that when we found him he was already dead, the body was found on a small hill, his whole body was black, his clothes were torn to shreds, his shoes did not know where to go, his feet were barefoot, his eyes were bulging wide, he was still holding his shotgun in his hand at that time, I don't know what he saw, he looked dead."
I thought about the scene of death, it was really a little terrifying, but as far as we know, the herdsman must have been killed by lightning.
We looked at each other and did not reply to Ross, because he was wiping tears from his eyes when he mentioned it, and it seemed that the dead herdsman had an unusual relationship with him, which is why he was so sad when he mentioned it.
But he felt that he couldn't affect our meal, so he suddenly raised his head again and said, "Forget it, forget it, it's all over, you are going to the valley of death, you must be mentally prepared, I suggest you don't go." ”
When the second uncle heard this, he comforted Gulos, and replied: "Comrade Queros, we went to Death Valley because we heard that it was dangerous, and if we don't go, we will have regrets." ”
Ross sighed, "Alright, alright, I don't have a reason to care about you, it's just that there are some vicious animals in this Death Valley. When he said this, he went into the back room, and we wondered what he was going to do, but he took out two shotguns and put them on the table, and said, "Will you go to-morrow?" ”
The second uncle nodded and replied, "Well, I'll go tomorrow." ”
"Alright then, you may be able to use these two shotguns, you can take them, if you can come back, just give them back to me, I really don't want to see anyone die in Death Valley." Ross may be rough in his words, but it is also for our safety.
The second uncle nodded and thanked him: "Thank you so much, comrade, we will come back." ”
We didn't continue to chat, and we slept after arranging a sleeping place for us, and we slept quietly so that we would wake up early tomorrow, although we were affected by Abu's snoring, but we were so sleepy that we fell asleep after a while.
And tomorrow, we will enter the legendary valley of death, the nightmare of Kunlun Mountain, the gate of hell.
