Chapter 17: The Confusion of the Map

As soon as I heard that there was a big river in the West Tianshan Mountains, I immediately felt that my guess was right, and continued to ask, "What kind of river is it?" ”

The seventh master smiled: "It's a coincidence, it's fate." Most of the rivers in the West Tien Shan Mountains originate from the Nalati Mountains, and we went to the Narakan Mountains a few months ago. The names of the specific rivers are a bit awkward because they are all translated from the local language, and I really can't tell them. ”

Hmm, I nodded, if I said that, Han Yushui might really be wrong. This kind of thing like the Sun Moon Lotus has not been seen with their own eyes for thousands of years, and it is something that may not exist at all, how can it appear in the Central Plains like Jinsu Mountain!

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, several nomadic herdsmen's yurts appeared not far ahead, and Zauhar stopped the car, beckoned to us, and signaled for a while to rest before leaving.

The crowd was tired from a few hours of bumpy on the road, got out of the car and moved around, and began to eat a simple lunch, and Zauhar went to the yurt and asked for some mare's milk wine to come back and give it to us.

"How long will it take?" The second uncle took a sip of mare's milk wine and asked with a grin.

"It's almost an hour!" Zawuhar pointed to the yurt in the distance: "This is the farthest place that the herders come from on a normal day. We bypassed the West Tianshan Nature Reserve, and after a short walk forward, there was no road, the grassland and the Gobi. Not only is there no road, but you can't even see the yurt. ”

Zawuhar said and glanced into the distance, with a hint of wistfulness and a hint of seriousness in his tone. It seems that their natives did treat that place as a holy place.

I bit on my bread and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, feeling nothing in my heart - this was different from before, I had thought there would be danger before every move, but this time it was very calm. After thinking about it for a while, maybe it was because the second uncle came with him, with such a master and a close relative by his side, he naturally felt a lot more confident in his heart.

After lunch, everyone rested in the car for a while, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, they continued to set off.

At half past two o'clock, we were already driving on the vast steppe of the Gobi, and there was no road in front of the car, and the car in Zauhar was like a fierce tiger, running wild on the grassland.

"This guide looks like a hunter." The second uncle, who was sitting in the back, suddenly whispered, "Miss Liang, do you know his identity?" ”

"I don't understand." Liang Ruoyi replied while driving: "I asked a friend, look at this car, it must be a hunter, maybe a dealer." ”

"Hmm." The second uncle nodded: "Hunters, at least, know the terrain and climate conditions here." ”

I glanced back through the rearview mirror, and saw that the seventh master and the cloth bag monk were sleeping on the seat, and the second uncle should have just slept with his hair a little messy.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, I found that the car did not know when it had entered the mountainous area, on both sides were towering snow-capped mountains, and the grassland Gobi in the distance could no longer be seen.

The speed of the car slowed down significantly, and after walking for less than twenty minutes, it was no longer possible to pass ahead.

Zawuhar stopped the car and walked down to greet us off.

Everyone was suffocated in the car for another afternoon, and they got out of the car one after another.

"Look ahead." Standing at a bend, Zauhar called out to us as he pointed to the valley between the two mountains in the distance.

We hurried over and followed his finger to look into the distance, and sure enough, as Zauhar said, there was a small river about three meters wide between the two mountains, and from this mountain stream, about a few hundred meters away, there began to be a faint fog, and further afar, the fog was even thicker, and halfway up the mountainside was almost completely shrouded in fog, and only the snow-white summits of the snow-capped mountains could be seen.

"Map!" Liang Ruoyi suddenly reacted, took out the map from his backpack, and looked at it carefully, but frowned: "After walking in, it is even more difficult to determine." This map is too simple. ”

"Let's go in and take a walk." Zawuhar groaned for a moment and beckoned to us: "Take all the good things, if the road is not good, we will go back the way we came, rest here for the night, and enter the mountain early tomorrow morning, if it is easy to walk, we will go directly to the mountain." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zawuhar walked back to his car and began to pack up his equipment for entering the mountain.

We looked at each other, and before we knew it, Zauhar had made a decision for us. However, since he was a guide, he at least knew more about this place than we did, and even if he took a step back, Zauhar would not joke with his own life.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, when the sky was getting dark, everyone hesitated, but decided to obey Zawhar, and each of them returned to the car and packed up their belongings for the mountain.

I just had a backpack, and the rest of the equipment was usually on Liang Ruoyi's side and the pig's head, and after packing up, I walked to Zaul's car, and when I saw that this person had a bow and a shotgun, I couldn't help but gasp.

The pig's head and the toad, who were also in the car, didn't react, and the toad was a little silent along the way, looking preoccupied, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Packed up?" Zawuhar finished packing, looked up at me, and asked.

I nodded, "Okay." Is this really that dangerous? ”

Zawhar's face was also very serious, and when he heard me ask, he grinned and asked rhetorically: "What do you say, anyway, after so many years, no one has ever come out of it alive." ”

After that, Zawuhar pointed to the pig's head and said: "If it weren't for seeing your good skills yesterday and observing your very professional equipment, I wouldn't have done this business." ”

Zawuhar said and brushed the bangs on his forehead, carried the two bags he had packed on his back, the shotgun and dagger were inserted in his trouser pockets, and the half-moon-shaped bow and crossbow were hung on his shoulders.

I gave him a thumbs up, he shrugged at me, got out of the car and asked Liang Ruoyi, "Okay?" We're going in! ”

Liang Ruoyi made an "ok" gesture over there, and everyone checked it one last time, closed the doors and windows, and then walked along the small river into the mountain stream.

Ten minutes later, we were already in the fog, at this time we were still on the periphery, the visibility was more than ten meters, the mountains and rocks under everyone's feet were large and small, square and round, and the flow speed of the small river was getting slower and slower, which always made people feel uneasy for a while.

By six o'clock, we couldn't see the sky overhead, the sun had set, and the flashlight was on.

"Take a break." Liang Ruoyi stopped and said: "We have to see the map clearly, this aimlessness is not a way!" ”

Zawuhar, who was walking in the front, also stopped, he had never looked at the map carefully and carefully, but at this time he also came up, looked at a few lines and a black dot on the paper, and suddenly frowned and said: "No! This picture shouldn't look that way! ”

Everyone was stunned, and the toad subconsciously asked, "Then what should I think?!" ”

I could tell that the toad seemed a little unconvinced by this Zawhar.

"You see, it's just a few lines, but why, it's broken here at the black dot?" Zawuhar didn't pay any attention to the toad's tone, pointed to the lines and said, "If you look at the broken lines, this is a mountain at all, but we all came in, and we all knew that it was not a mountain!" ”

Zawuhar spoke very slowly, and his broken Chinese made him a little cramped, and it seemed difficult for him to express the meaning of his mind through unfamiliar Chinese.

"So, what should I think?" Liang Ruoyi looked up at Zawuhar and asked.

"That's it!" Zawuhar paused, simply took out a pen from his body, and connected a few lines with the black dots: "This should be right!" ”

Everyone looked at the map that had been redrawn, and they were stunned, I frowned for a moment, looked up at the second uncle, and found that the second uncle also happened to glance at me......
