Chapter 18 The Eagle Flies at the Pass
Su told me that he was interested in the timepieces of ethnic minorities in various places, and that the Naxi people had a village that was still in the mountains, and they still kept the timekeeping habits of ancient times, and the device they used was very special, which was very different from that of the Central Plains, so he went to look for it. As a result, there were some surprises.
"Now there are still things that can't be solved with money." I was surprised, "Is that thing an antique?" ”
Su frowned and didn't answer, at this time, I realized that his expression was not quite right, he was already very white, and now his face was almost bloodless.
"Big brother, do you have a stomachache?" I used to see this expression when my former landlord girlfriend had menstrual pain, and I had to boil brown sugar water at that time.
He unbuttoned his shirt, and I saw blood oozing from the bandage inside, and it seemed that the wound had been cracked.
I changed his driving, my driving skills are to help the aquatic product seller pull the goods to learn, pull the manual transmission of the small pickup, just no license, but I have a big wounded next to me, I still have an excuse when I meet the police.
Looking at the navigation, I understand that it is definitely not appropriate to hurry, I will turn off the national highway along the nearest entrance, although I have money in my hands, but I have never lived in a high-end hotel, and the 5-star hotel in the county-level city should not be too much, so I found a hotel that looks very similar to a bathing center from the outside, and asked for a room.
Su couldn't walk when he got out of the car, I helped him like a drunk person, there were two rows of girls standing at the door, all wearing cheongsams to welcome us, they seemed to be very used to Su's state, and came up directly to ask if they wanted to sober up the medicine.
When I entered the room, I changed his bandages, and he fell asleep deeply, and I was hungry enough, so I went down to the restaurant and fried two bowls of dried noodles, and ate one bowl in a fool's way, and the other bowl was placed at the head of Sue's bed.
The first night was just like that, and the next day, Sue's condition improved and she continued on her way. Before Su drove, he said very seriously, don't put food at the head of his bed.
It was intermittent for three days before we drove into Muli, which was the last stronghold of Naxi, and we had to ride into it, and when we entered Muli, it was already full of ethnic minorities, and all kinds of ethnic groups lived here. In order to show that we are a local tyrant, we chose the famous local Kazhuo Hotel.
In the evening, Su called up the map of Muli and discussed it with me, and he said that after we entered the Muli Mountains, we would continue to walk inside, there were some very scattered villages and many Tibetan settlements in the mountains, and there was a canyon in that area, and there were several ruins of large temples, and the relics of the murder had been pointing in that direction. Naxi Township is on our way, the last stop of our supply. It is safe in Russia and Asia, and there are some scattered stockades further inside, among which there is a stockade, which is his enemy, if he is found and encounters those falcons in the mountains, it is estimated that there is no place to hide.
"Generally, after arriving in Russia and Asia, you will never go deeper, and you will find on the navigation map that there are no human landmarks near the Russo-Asian township, nothing."
The stockades were unmarked and could only be reached on foot, and there were no mountain roads for a long time, only some traces of being trodden. Further on is Shangri-La on the Yunnan-Tibet line.
It takes 5 days to walk fully into the core area. Yisu's body is completely unbearable.
When I arrived on the plateau, the air was dry and cold, and my body was a little uncomfortable, listening to Sue's explanation, I felt more and more inappropriate, but I never had any thoughts of retreating, and I don't know why, as long as I promised something, I didn't know how to regret it.
"Why did Luo go into such a deep mountain?" I asked Su, this is simply illogical, if you want to live in seclusion, it is already very hidden in the county town of Muli.
"Probably because of stupidity." Su thought seriously for a few minutes and answered me like this.
We spent about a week in Muli, I purchased equipment, chatted with various locals, and made strategies, and I felt that all the strategies were written with the word "death". A week later, we got on our horses and headed all the way to the highlands and mountains. At an altitude of more than 3,000 meters, I couldn't even smoke. The damn mule shit and fart while walking leisurely. The cat was almost completely motionless, and I thought it was dead every time, but it wasn't, and I wonder if the feline would have altitude sickness.
Su's body is obviously not very good, as long as he has a few sections of his own walking, he will be very tired, but when he is on the mule, he is obviously more relaxed than me, his body sways slightly with the movement of the mule, on the slope of almost 60 degrees, it is like stepping on spring in Jiangnan.
He chatted all the way and told me that when he caught me, he went to check my information, locked me up for half a year, and found that I had settled down, and he knew that I was not an ordinary person.
"You were born with Stockholm syndrome." He said of me, "Because you're more dissatisfied with your own reality." So, unexpected situations and difficulties will make you more adaptable. ”
I didn't know until later what it was, but Sue didn't know the real reason why I was trapped and settled, and I didn't want to be so clear with him.
We stopped at the pass ten kilometers away from the village and waited for the hunters, drank some butter tea to warm up, and suddenly heard a few bird calls, and then, a group of hunters wearing Naxi costumes dismounted. In each person's hand, a big eagle is dragged.
I felt suffocated because I saw that the little girl from before was also inside.
Because it was too cold, Sue and I were both wearing hoods, and I saw Kazuji on the arm of a big man next to the little girl, and the big man was very burly, and Kazuji was like a big crow in his hand. I turned my head and said that it was too coincidental to think about it, and it was not right to think about it, there is only one fucking mountain road here, and it is normal to run into it.
They should have caught up when Su and I were cultivating. Su and I glanced at each other, and the two of us covered our heads and drank tea, and listened to the little girl talking to the adults around me in the local language. I don't understand Naxi dialect, but there are a lot of Chinese pronunciations in Naxi dialect now, and I only heard one word: "telescope." ”
I wanted to leave immediately, but Sue held me down, and I looked at his expression, and he was intent, listening to the group chatting.
They had obviously arrived here on a hurried march, and they were all tired, so they rested for a long time, and their chats were intermittent, and Sue's attention was unprecedentedly concentrated. I tried to leave a few times but couldn't make it.
After sitting for about 40 minutes, I was sweating nervously, and suddenly the boss at the pass brought in something that looked a bit like jerky, and all the eagles began to stir and start chirping. Almost at the same time, the cat in my backpack heard the eagle call and fluttered in fright. A cat meow was made.
The eagles fighting for food and the resting Naxi hunters all turned their heads and looked at my backpack.
