Chapter Seventy-Three: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow

"Shhhhh......h

"Brother Feng, you?"

He pointed to the somewhat embarrassed Feng Qiyun and said, "Now it's my turn to be on duty." ”

Feng Qiyun didn't speak, just smiled, he pointed to the pile of firewood not far away and signaled that he had just gone to collect wood, and then bent down and got into the tent.

The dawn in the west was two hours later than in Hongcun in the east, and at seven o'clock, when Cha Wenbin got up, Kasang had already fallen asleep by the fire, and the fire that was not known to be extinguished was still the embers of last night, the sky was hazy and a little blue, and the snow had stopped.

The outside world was unusually cold, and he went into the house and took a quilt and draped it over Kasang, and the boy woke up in a trembling mood.

Seeing his employer, he seemed a little embarrassed, struggled to get up in a panic, but his eyes were also red and said, "Fall asleep......"

"Let's go in and catch up on some sleep, it'll be a little bit more at dawn."

Cha Wenbin likes this child, has backbone, and is responsible.

"No, I've already slept, let's give them breakfast."

Saying that, he got up and grabbed the snow with a military kettle, which was the snow last night, put them in the kettle and threw them on the fire, looking at the heat in the kettle, Cha Wenbin asked him: "Have you been to the Lengrad Gorge before?" ”

He shook his head and nodded, "I have been to the entrance of that canyon, and when I was seven years old I was with Grandpa Boogie, and he was the best hunter on the grassland, and only he could catch the most intact yellow sheepskins." ”

He pointed to his eyes and said, "From here, the skin is complete, and his sheepskin will always sell for the best price." ”

He seemed to fall into that memory, and continued: "Grandpa Boogie only hunts one yellow sheep every year, and he said that the yellow sheep is a gift from the gods to the grassland, and you must know how to make trade-offs, but he has stopped beating yellow sheep for a long time. ”

Cha Wenbin comforted him: "That's because he is old, and the grassland needs a young hunter like you to continue to gallop." ”

Kasang shook his head vigorously and said, "No, Grandpa Buji...... He was blind. ”

After a pause, Kasang's eyes seemed to reveal a moistness, and he said, "Grandpa Buji said that he owes the yellow sheep, and now he can pay it back, he ...... He gouged out his own eyes and blinded himself. ”

Cha Wenbin was also shocked, how could this hunter treat himself like this?

"He shot an ewe, and the lamb in his belly was about to give birth, and Grandpa Phuki said that this was his only mistake, and that he had made a mistake, and that he would ask the great gods to forgive him," Nagasang said. ”

Later, Cha Wenbin learned about this period of history, in the winter of 1980, the old man Buji went into the mountains to hunt and walked to the entrance of the Nalengrad Gorge.

At the entrance, he saw a flock of fat yellow sheep, an experienced steppe sharpshooter who had always beaten only adult rams.

Suddenly it was snowing, and the snowflakes narrowed his eyes.

Suddenly the sheep began to stir, Kasang pulled the trigger in his hand, he aimed at the leader with horns on his head, but it was a pregnant ewe that fell, still accurately shot through the sheep's eye, but the old man knelt on the ground for a long time.

He said that this was the punishment of the gods for him, and a belief that had been respected for decades collapsed in an instant.

Old man Boogie dropped his beloved shotgun off the cliff, and then he ...... again The peoples of the steppe have an indescribable obsession, and Cha Wenbin began to understand why Kasang refused to be rescued, his father Luomu was his faith, and he firmly believed that his father was a great man.

At eight o'clock, the sky finally lit up the fish belly, the holy sun slowly rose from the foot of the mountain in the east, the golden light shone on the white snow-capped mountains, and in an instant it was as if it had come to the fairy world, the beautiful reflection began to appear again, the calm lake water was like a graceful girl, the breeze was lightly supported, flashing the blue waves, and the folded level made people confused.

The temperature began to rise, and Kasang said that the snow that had fallen last night would melt into the sacred lake, and he worshipped the rising sun, which was the simplest prayer of their steppe people.

The people who got up one after another began to replenish their hunger from the previous night, and in the morning Kasang told them that they could cook food, saying that the snowmen were afraid of light, and that light would blind their eyes.

The fat man was very proud to barbecue the barley cake, and Kasang cooked them warm butter tea, the combination of these two foods can quickly replenish their calories, and Cha Wenbin has gradually become accustomed to the altitude here, and his head is not as painful as last night.

Kasang said that if you walk to the other side of the lake and climb over the snow-capped mountain, you will see the entrance to the Nalengrad Gorge.

Just after breakfast, Cha Wenbin saw a lama holding a prayer wheel in his hand slowly walking by the lake, Kasang said that he is a monk here, every day to come to the sacred lake, although the people here are poor, but they live a simple life, live a full life, they know how to make trade-offs, know how to respect.

Pack your luggage, the snow-capped mountain is right in front of you, this mountain is not high, Kasang said that there is a road through.

Strangely enough, he did not go up the mountain, but took them around the lake all the time, and at ten o'clock they came to the left side of the snowy mountain, and he skillfully took out a chisel and pierced it into the ice edge.

With two hands, two chisels, alternating reincarnation, he was like a spider man who instantly climbed the ice ridge more than twenty meters high, and quickly hung a rope from it.

However, even with the rope, Cha Wenbin and the fat man still found it very difficult, because the soles of their shoes could not find a focus on the ice.

Fortunately, Ye Qiu and Feng Qiyun climbed up without much effort, and these two finally got all the big guys up.

It turns out that there is a hole on it, Kasang said, this hole is symmetrical on the left and right, you must go to the left when you enter the mountain, and you must go to the right when you go out of the mountain, there are very few people who know this hole, it was Grandpa Buji who told him.

"To the end of the mountain, if you want to climb the mountain, you have to walk for a long time, and it will be very fast from here."

He pointed to the dark hole behind him and said: "Grandpa Boogie said that you can't talk casually in the cave, this is the nose of the mountain god, if the speech will make him hear, he will be angry and will sneeze, and the wind in the cave can blow the flesh and skin of people apart." ”

Everyone smiled at the child's statement, but since he was a guide, everyone respected his statement.

The cave is more than two meters high and more than one meter wide, and it is in the shape of a regular triangle, which looks like it was formed by the movement of the earth's crust in the past.

The road was not smooth, but it was covered with a thick layer of ice, and in order to prevent slipping, everyone had several layers of cotton tied to the soles of their shoes, and even so, falls still happened from time to time.

Kasang said that the road was more than ten miles long, and the cave was unusually dry and cold, and it felt like walking in a refrigerator.

After about an hour, the fat man motioned if he could take a break, and he didn't know how many times he had been knocked on his knee, but Kasan said that he could not stay here, the sooner the better.

The fat man had no choice but to continue on his journey, but since it was so cold, it was always okay to drink two sips of wine, right?

Kasang didn't know how to answer this question?

Anyway, Grandpa Boogie hadn't said it before, and seeing that their faces were about to be frozen purple, Kasang reluctantly agreed to this request.

The fat man carefully took out the flask from his bag, the freezing point of the wine was much lower than that of water, and a sip at this time could quench his thirst and keep out the cold.

A few people, including Kasan, made a little mess, and the team that had just been somewhat satisfied was ready to continue on their way, and everyone felt much warmer, but at this moment Feng Qiyun made a gesture of pause.

These are all a group of old oilmen, and the situation was soon discovered, and a pair of eyes were staring at them a hundred meters in front of them.

Kasang estimated that they were now halfway through, just in the middle of the position, the pair of eyes were as green as copper bells, Cha Wenbin thought of the thing he saw last night at a glance, and sure enough, there were still some uninvited guests in this mountain.

Feng Qiyun motioned for everyone not to move, and it was no longer okay not to speak at this time, he said softly: "I dealt with it last night, and it is a very powerful character." ”

Where did Cha Wenbin think that this guy would hide it so tightly, and he reminded him yesterday, he thought it was okay at all, "Have you seen it?" ”

"That kid was right,"

He looked at Kasang and said, "Have you ever seen a snowman?" ”

Kasang shook his head, Feng Qiyun pointed to the pair of eyes in front of him and said: "That thing is probably the snowman you said, the whole body is snow-white, the strength is amazing, and the speed is on par with the leopard. ”

So, what really happened last night?

Soon after Cha Wenbin was sent into the tent by Feng Qiyun, Feng Qiyun got up, he had seen that thing a long time ago, in fact, when Cha Wenbin entered the tent, the thing was on the right side of their tent.

"I fought with it yesterday and hurt its arm, and I didn't get much better."

As he spoke, Feng Qiyun pulled open the collar of his thick clothes, revealing a circle of scratches inside, although the marks had scabbed, they still made people feel shocking.

He said: "I was afraid that you would be worried, thinking that it would be fine to travel during the day, but I didn't expect it to live here." ”

As he spoke, he saw his hand lightly swiped on his waist, and a cold light suddenly appeared, and there was an extra thing more than two feet long in his hand, it turned out to be a belt sword, no wider than the thickness of a little thumb, and the whole body was shining with silver light, even Ye Qiu took a look.

"Don't waste that energy, everyone still thinks that they live in ancient times, swords and swords at every turn, you all dodge, Lao Tzu smashed its head with one shot."

As he spoke, the fat man loaded the five or six halves in his hand, but Kasang stopped him: "The sound of gunfire will cause an avalanche, and shooting in the snowy mountains is killing yourself, and our entrances and exits will be sealed." ”

What Kasang said was right, the fat man's mind was not hot to that extent, as long as he changed another dagger and held it in his hand and said, "Then let's have a knife hunt, second brother, show your hands to our brother Feng?" ”
