The combination of ancient and modern made the three of us puzzled for a while, and at this moment, the sky was almost completely dark, and the originally blue lake of Guo Zhacuo next to it had also turned into a dark water, bottomless, as if it could swallow everything around.

Zhou Xuanye twisted the pendant and said, "It's too late, go back to the camp first, and talk about it tomorrow." "It was also cold and uncomfortable at this time, and we were worried that we would catch a cold or something, so we didn't dare to stay any longer, so we immediately went back to the tent. You know, catching a cold on the plateau is a very serious thing.

For Tibetans living in Tibetan areas, it is nothing, but for outsiders like us, once we catch a cold in Tibetan areas, the disease will worsen, and even make people who do not have altitude sickness have a more serious high reaction, and the disease is also difficult to cure. This is all related to one's own adaptability, in this case, once you catch a cold in Tibetan areas, and the aggravation does not get better, whether it is travel or work, you must give up as soon as possible and leave Tibetan areas for treatment.

We went back to the tent and released Fu An's vigil as usual, and by the way, lit it for today's dinner. Before he tried to touch things in the water and didn't eat, he wrapped his frozen feet in a sleeping bag and discussed the possible origin of these fragments while eating.

To be exact, only Zhou Xuanye discussed with me that Tan Jian has always been unsociable, twisting the pendant alone, turning on the light, and looking at it carefully with a spotlight. Not to mention, just when Zhou Xuanye and I came up with a lot of unreliable speculations, Tan Jian suddenly made a discovery.

The pendant is a pig-shaped zodiac, the bottom is flat, there is a concave mold bottom, in the mold bottom, impressively engraved two very small Chinese characters 'Xu period'.

The word is quite small, you have to use a spotlight to see it clearly, I wonder a little, what does Xu Qi mean? It sounds like a personal name, engrave your name on the pendant, this thing is also common, it seems that the owner of this pendant should be a person named Xu Qi.

When he saw these two words clearly, Tan Jian said in surprise: "It's him!" ”

I think it's incredible, listening to Tan Jian's meaning, he still knows this person named Xu Qi? This is too nonsense, we can catch a pendant from the ** ice ditch casually, and we can meet acquaintances, what are the odds of this? It's too small.

So I looked at Tan Jian very suspiciously, waiting for his explanation.

To my surprise, not only Tan Jian knew about this person, but even Zhou Xuanye knew about it. Zhou Xuanye explained to me that he found the head of the Zeng team in order to find clues about Xiao Fusang at that time, and in order to find the person who was most likely to help, Zhou Xuanye worked hard, so at that time, Zhou Xuanye knew the list of personnel of the expedition team led by the Zeng team.

And this Xu period is a member of the expedition team, a professional photographer of the team, responsible for photographing the terrain and some processes of the expedition. But this Xu period is still crazy, and because he is not aggressive, he lived for more than four years and was taken home to take care of him.

So far, Xu Qi has not been able to communicate with people normally, and the whole person accepts a crazy fool, so Zhou Xuanye has never seen this person, he only knows that there is this person. Later, when Zhou Xuanye investigated everything properly and told me, he only told me the result, and did not say the tortuous process in between.

The expedition team led by the Zeng team passed by Guo Zhao back and forth, this place has fresh water, a wide field of vision, and many leeward outlets, which is a good place for camping. They may even have camped in the area, just like us.

In this way, it is not such a coincidence that they found their things in the ice ditch and found an 'acquaintance'.

Zhou Xuanye said again: "The silver pieces hanging on this pendant seem to have been brought out by them from the snowy mountains. These things should have been thrown away after they came out. ”

I find it strange that when the gang came out of the snow-capped mountains, they were said to be crazy, wandering around Guo Zatso and were discovered by a photographer who came here, and then they were sent to the Tibetan district government.

Could it be that when they were wandering, they accidentally fell into the lake and were washed down by the lake?

But this pendant looks very intact, when we touch it out, the buckle is still fastened, such a pendant, it is impossible to fall from the person's neck inexplicably, unless the person himself pulls it out of the neck, it is possible to fall into the lake.

Zhou Xuanye didn't know what he was thinking, he flipped the pendant twice in his hand, and said, "Let's sleep first, let's not rush into the mountain tomorrow, I'll go to the bottom of the lake to investigate." ”

Down to the lake?

I said, "Do you suspect that there is something else in the lake?" ”

Zhou Xuanye nodded and said, "When the expedition team came out, there was very little equipment on their bodies, it was all food, and the rest of the equipment was gone. We had speculated that the equipment was most likely held by the people in the snowy mountains, but now it seems that there is another possibility...... They were thrown into this lake. ”

Before coming, the Zeng team had told us that in order to get to that place, we needed to pass through a very large and beautiful lake, so in order to prevent accidents, we carried simple scuba and wetsuits, as well as some oxygen bags to prevent oxygen inhalation in case of injury in Tibetan areas.

Therefore, if you go into the water, although it will be very cold, as long as the body can bear it, it is not very difficult. I know the physique of Zhou Xuanye and Tan Jian, these two have been together for more than half a year, they haven't had any illnesses, they are occasionally injured, and they recover much faster than most people.

At noon in Tibetan areas, the temperature is still relatively high, and if you want to go into the water at that time, there should be no problems.

Therefore, I have no refutation of Zhou Xuanye's idea. After Fu An finished eating, the head shook into the tent, and when he heard what we were saying, he said, "Do you still need to go into the water by yourself, just look for me." ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of us looked at it at the same time, yes, how did we forget this little ghost?

Zhou Xuanye was overjoyed and said, "Yes, it's much easier to let it go into the water." "After all, people are not suitable for water, even if Zhou Xuanye personally goes into the water and investigates, it will be difficult, and it is inevitable that a lot of things will be missed, but let Fu An go, the result will be completely different, within 100 meters, everything can be felt clearly.

Who knows, after this little ghost finished speaking, when he saw the three of us looking at it with blank eyes, a yin and yang smile appeared on his pale face, and said, "Do you want me to go into the water?" Please. "It's clear that you have the same look on your face today.

This little ghost is now a typical distorted psychology, yin and yang, and a face a minute.

I felt that my skin had been getting thicker and thicker lately, and after it had finished speaking, I said, "Please, please, please." ”

Fu An obviously didn't expect me to be so cooperative, choked for a while, and jumped like thunder, but he couldn't get angry for a while, so that his head exploded, and after a while, he gathered together before he said: "You learn from the dog to call me before I promise you." ”

"......" children, what a ......

I said: "Wang, Wang, Wang~~~~"

Fu An was completely choked, and said for a while: "Why are you different from what you staged on TV, shouldn't you be very angry and angry." ”

I said, "Say it again, don't watch that kind of TV series with Tang Linlin that is not nutritious." ”

Fu An had no choice but to say, "Okay, for the sake of you begging me so sincerely, I reluctantly agreed, who made you my brother." Let's go. "It only comes out at night, so it goes into the water, and naturally it only goes into the water at night. Immediately, the three of us took flashlights, got out of our sleeping bags, put on shoes and socks, and headed for Guo Zhao in the distance.

It's very cold at night, but fortunately, the quality of this windbreaker is good, otherwise it would really freeze out of trouble.

When we arrived at the lake, Fu An turned from a human head into a gray mist, and then the mist drifted away, more and more dispersed, and gradually I couldn't see it, but I knew that Fu An had already gone into the water.

The ghost's movements were quite fast, and the light hit the surface of the lake, and the water was illuminated with a yellow amber sheen.

In just about five minutes, Fu An regrouped, and the head flew around in the air, saying, "There are several big black bags below, and they all contain things. ”

I immediately said, "What's that?" ”

It said, "There's a rope knife and a camera...... Well, there are others I don't recognize. ”

A couple of big black bags with cameras and ropes in them? Obviously, it was an equipment pack, and it was most likely the equipment pack left behind by the original Zeng team. Why are their kits at the bottom of the lake?

Did they throw it down themselves, or did some other person throw it down?

I don't think it's possible for a bunch of crazy people to throw their bags into the lake at the same time, and it's probably someone else's doing.

At this moment, the first object of suspicion that came to my mind was the people in the snowy mountains.

Could it be that they did it?

No, it's not right.

Just as they want to destroy some equipment, naturally they won't give Team Zeng and the others a chance to bring out the equipment.

So who is it exactly?

Suddenly, a clue suddenly flashed through my mind, and I couldn't help but exclaim: "That photographer! ”

"What photographer?" Tan Jian, who was thinking, was interrupted by my voice, frowned slightly, and glanced at me dissatisfied.

"Could it be that the photographer threw these pieces of equipment into the lake? After all, the first person they met after they came out of the snowy mountain was the photographer! ”

Tan Jian's voice was still calm, and he said without being salty: "Reason? Why did he throw the equipment of the expedition? ”

In fact, this is just a speculation on my part, and if I have to tell me why, I naturally can't say. How do I know why a photographer is throwing gear? That was seven years ago. However, if we can salvage the things at the bottom of the lake, it will definitely help us understand the truth of the matter. Even, in that equipment, there may be clues about Xiao Fusang, but not necessarily?
