I don't know if Qiangba understands Lao Gu's self-introduction, anyway, he has been smiling enthusiastically and nodding to Lao Gu from time to time. Qin Zhen thought to himself, these two people really said without speculation. One couldn't say it clearly, the other couldn't understand it, and he even wasted so many words and talked for so long. This kind of thing may only be done by people like Lao Gu.

Lao Gu didn't give up at this time, and asked Qiangba again: "From you, how to go out?" Isn't there a decent little city or village at the bottom of the mountain? It's not that I said, your place doesn't really look like it's for mortals. We mortals need to buy something, and we need to go to Nepal and ask for a place...... Nepal, you know ......? Lao Gu originally said that he had come to Qu'er, but when he looked at Qiangba's confused face, he suddenly closed his mouth helplessly. Then he turned his head and shook off: "It's so fucking hard!" ”

In fact, it's not to blame Lao Gu for being impatient, and it is indeed very troublesome to have language communication barriers. They don't have the means to express themselves exactly to each other. Especially what Lao Gu said just now, it was so complicated that it was impossible to start talking about it......

Qin Zhen pushed Lao Gu by the hand, and then said to Qiangba with a smile: "We...... Need to get out of the snowy mountains. Qin Zhen said as he described his thoughts as vividly as possible.

This time, Qiangba seemed to understand a little, nodded his head as if he suddenly realized, and then said a lot of words. But there was not a word that Qin Zhen could understand.

Looking at Qin Zhen and the confused state of looking at each other, Qiangba seemed to be in a hurry. He labored for another half minute. The voice is full of emotion, and the body language is extremely rich. But in the end, they didn't do anything to solve the problem except to stare at each other wide-eyed.

Lao Gu couldn't help but say to Qin Zhen at this time: "What do you say is the matter with this man?" It was bilingual in Chinese and English just now, why are there no subtitles now? He said so much, but he couldn't even guess the meaning of his words! What should I do? Now it's too late to teach him to learn the ancestral Chinese language! ”

Qin Zhen also shook his head slightly helplessly and said: "He should have been in contact with people from the outside world, so he can pop up a sentence or two in Chinese or English." But apparently he was unfamiliar with the language, at best he knew some simple words and sentences. If he had to use the whole paragraph, he still had to use their own language. ”

Lao Gu looked at Qiangba helplessly, and the feeling of being unspeakable was really uncomfortable. Qiangba also seemed to see Lao Gu's feelings. Rubbing his hands anxiously. It seems to be helping to think of a solution.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he laughed happily! Then he hurriedly beckoned Qin Zhen and asked them to go with him.

Lao Gu looked at Qiangba in surprise. Then he turned his head and said, "What's the matter?" Is he going to take us to find a translator? ”

"Let's go first!" Qin Zhen simply answered Lao Gu. He followed Qiangba to another corner of the village.

Most of the houses here are very densely clustered, because this small area is not very large, and it is necessary to live and grow crops. There has to be room for the yaks...... So the place is really not very rich.

The place where Jampa had brought them was a little further from the village, in the far corner of the village. A two-story wood-paneled house with piles of firewood and some highland crops in front of the door. Although the house is very old, it is neat and clean.

Qin Zhen looked at Qiangba, not knowing who he was going to take them to. And Qiangba couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only say the words that Qin Zhen couldn't understand, and beckoned his hand as if urging, as if asking them to hurry up and go in with him.

He followed Jampa up the stairs and pushed open the old wooden door. To say that the people here are really simple enough...... You don't even need to knock on the door to go to someone's house, just push the door in......

Qiangba shouted two sentences loudly, as if he was calling the master here. Listening to the tone, their relationship should be very familiar and intimate.

A short time later, an old man came out from behind the heavy curtain in the back room.

The old man wore a Tibetan ornament on his body, and his head was full of white hair, but his figure was very tall. The cold wind of the snow-capped mountains at high altitude made his already old face even darker, rougher, and full of wrinkles.

After the old man walked out, he saw Qin Zhen and the three of them at a glance. He looked at Qin Zhen and them with sharp eyes, and those sharp eyes were not even commensurate with his old appearance.

Qiangba was babbling something to the old man, it seemed that he was probably introducing Qin Zhen to the old man, and by the way, he had to explain how the three outsiders came into the village. Because it seems that the old man is not very welcoming to outsiders.

When Qiangba finished speaking, the old man walked to the wooden table in the room, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, motioning for Qin Zhen and them to sit down first.

Qiangba was very happy and gestured to Qin Zhen to "sit".

The three of them sat down a little bewildered, not understanding why Qiangba had brought them to see the old man. One who can't communicate is enough to kill, and this adds another old man. It doesn't matter if they can't tell the truth, isn't it a sin to give this old man a good idea?

And judging by the age of this old man, he should be the elder of the whole village. Could it be the "village chief" of this village? Qiangba pushed the problem he couldn't solve directly to the village chief?

Just thinking about it, the old man opened his mouth, directly breaking all Qin Zhen's boundless imagination.

"Young man, why are you here?" The old man's voice was low, but the words were full of authentic Chinese!

Qin Zhen and the others were a little surprised when they heard this! Lao Gu stood up even more excitedly, and said thoughtlessly: "Hey, old man!" You are really a noble man in this snowy mountain! When I communicated with Brother Qiangba, I almost didn't have a cerebral hemorrhage! Listening to your accent, you are an authentic Chinese, right? ”

Qin Zhen couldn't help but drag Lao Gu on the side, signaling him not to speak so impulsively. Not everyone can adapt to his two-hundred-and-five-year-old way of speaking. Although he meant to be happy and excited, his way of speaking was easy to make people feel awkward.

However, this old man was very generous, he just nodded and said to Gu Jie: "Yes, I am Chinese, and the mountain people here are also Chinese." It's just that they have never been out of the snowy mountains in their lives and can't speak Chinese. As for Qiangba's Chinese, I taught him when he was a child. ”

"I see." Qin Zhen looked at Qiangba with a little understanding, and thought to himself, if he said so, then this old man was not from this village. It's just that he's been here for a long time, at least when Jampa was not born. Qin Zhen felt that Qiangba had really taken them to meet the right person, this old man was definitely not ordinary.

Lao Gu looked at Qiangba next to him and muttered in a low voice: "You said that you are too serious about studying, you have been learning Chinese since you were a child, and you have only learned like this at this age?" ”

Qin Zhen was worried when he heard it, how could this thing open its mouth and be brainless! Before he could say a few words, the old man opened his mouth first and said, "It's not his problem, it's that I didn't continue to teach him." When he was young, I would occasionally teach him two sentences of Chinese out of habit. But then I changed my mind, and he didn't want to learn better. Not to mention Qiangba, even I haven't spoken Chinese for 30 years. ”

Qin Zhen looked at the old man with a deeper gaze. This old man is not just extraordinary, there is a good chance that he has a big story hidden in him. I don't know why, Qin Zhen vaguely felt that the story was very likely to be related to Shangri-La.

What is the reason why the elderly feel that the Chinese language is a danger? Or rather, he was desperate to forget his past. He didn't want to say the language he knew anymore, he didn't want to hear it again, to start over in a new place, as if he were born again.

It's no wonder that Qiangba didn't bring them to the old man in the first place. If he hadn't spoken Chinese for thirty years, and no outsiders had come here, then Qiangba might have forgotten about jì, this old man could speak Chinese. If it weren't for Lao Gu's helpless expression of wanting to cry without tears just now, Qiangba might still not be able to remember that there is a person in this village who can communicate with them.

The old man looked at Qin Zhen again, and he noticed the wound on Qin Zhen's face and the miserable hands. glanced at Jiang Qi and Lao Gu, who were also hanging colors. Then he asked in a deep voice: "You are not Tibetans, nor are you hunters in the mountains, why did you come here?" ”

Qin Zhen knew that under the eagle-like sharp gaze of this old man, this little Jiujiu on them would definitely not be able to hide. No matter how much he explained, he couldn't come up with a suitable reason why the three of them fainted in front of the small village deep in the snowy mountains as if they had fallen from the sky.

This possibility may appear in too many places in this world, but it can never occur in the most inhospitable mountains on earth.

Thinking that this old man was very likely to have a story hidden in them, as a kind of sincerity and attitude, Qin Zhen decided to tell the old man about the matter roughly.

In this isolated snow-capped mountain, Qin Zhen and the others were not worried that any secrets that should not be leaked would be passed on. And Qin Zhen is also measured, knowing what to say and what not to say. At best, he can only tell the old man that they are looking for the legendary Shangri-La. This is a well-known legend, not a secret. Only from the old man's reaction after hearing Shangri-La can we judge whether the secret on the old man's body is really related to them.

Lao Gu and Jiang Qi were very relieved of Qin Zhen in this regard, and sat there generously drinking tea, listening to Qin Zhen tell the old man about the bizarre experience of their "trimmed version". (To be continued......)
