Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Road Down the Mountain
When the old man said such a shocking thing, it did play a certain role in Qin Zhen's psychological changes. At the very least, they won't be arrogant enough to ignore the old man's warnings. Whether those legends are true or not, they must be careful to be vigilant against the guardian of the "goddess" who is both good and evil.
Seeing the change in Qin Zhen's face, the old man said with a little satisfaction: "It's good to know that you're afraid!" On such a treacherous road, it never hurts to be careful. You have come here with life and death, and no one should believe it except each other. You have to think about it, what kind of difficult road has no one successfully crossed for thousands of years? In order for Hitler's SS to be defeated and had to give up? Just think it's for your friend, be careful. β
The old man said this in an almost blessed tone, and it was the first time he had taken the initiative to mention the Nazis. Although the true identity and background of this old man can never be known, it can also indicate that he is indeed related to the events of that year.
Qin Zhen had no intention of speculating too much about the old man's past. He just wanted to put all his energy into the road ahead. The further you go, the closer you get to your destination, the closer you get to Ali, and maybe the closer you get to Yudong.
Qin Zhen believes that the best friends of life and death will definitely meet again near 29 degrees north latitude one day in the near future. Extreme Cold Ali is their final destination.
It seems that the last thing the old man wants to say to them is this information about the guardian of the sacred mountain. After saying that, the old man went out to find Qiangba. It seemed that he was going to tell SΓΉ Qiangba that it would be best to provide them with a hand-drawn road map. lest you get lost in the snowy mountains.
Qin Zhen was deeply grateful to the old man for his actions. Lao Gu also kept sighing: "The old man is really interesting!" I knew that two of us were road blind, so I went to ask for a map. But to be honest, if you can't even tell the direction, this map may only be understood by Daqi. So Daqi, you will be our leader next. β
Jiang Qi is completely immune to all of Lao Gu's neurotic speech and demeanor. So at this point, he just nodded expressionlessly, and then began to pack his things and luggage.
Qin Zhen stood up and walked to the window, looking at the vast snow-white in the distance, he couldn't help but be distracted. I don't know if this kind of life is coming to an end. Just like Yudong's feelings, although he has no regrets about these roads, he is also tired.
"What are you stunned about! And his grandmother stood by the window. Are you learning from Golden Lotus Girl? But there was nothing but yaks under the window. You don't have to expect to be able to see a Ximenqing. Old Gu gushed about Qin Zhen, and he didn't care about Qin Zhen's murderous eyes at all.
It didn't take long for the old man and Qiangba to return together. The old man handed Qin Zhen a map, and Qin Zhen took it gratefully. And in his heart, he secretly prayed that Qiangba's ability to draw maps would not be as bad as his ability to express......
Lucky. The map is concise and straightforward. It's kind of easy to read. Qin Zhen happily said to Qiangba: "Qiangba, thank you so much!" If it weren't for you, our brother's life would be gone. Not to mention that we were able to get acquainted with this old man, who helped us so much and provided us with so many clues! Thank you for your kindness, take care! A good person like you, God will definitely bless you to live a long life like this old man! β
The old man smiled slightly and translated it for Qiangba, who seemed to be very happy, and patted Qin Zhen's shoulder excitedly, expressing the feelings in his heart.
As soon as the qiΔ was cleaned up, the physical condition of the three of them had also recovered under the careful care of the old man and Qiangba. Qiangba also brought them leather jackets and cotton robes worn by the residents of the snow-capped mountains, ensuring that they would not freeze to death on the snow-capped mountains.
In this way, early in the morning of the next day, Qin Zhen and the others said goodbye to the old man. At the time of parting, Qin Zhen really had a sour feeling in his heart. I won't see you again, I just hope that this mysterious old man can live a long and healthy life!
Qiangba sent them all the way to a place far away from the village, and in the end, Qin Zhen stopped him from continuing to see them off.
"There will be a farewell for sending you a thousand miles, friend, thank you really for saving our lives! If we do find a place, you've saved my friend's life! Take care! Qin Zhen said these words sincerely, and asked Qiangba to say goodbye and not send them again.
Qiangba also understood what Qin Zhen meant, and after saying goodbye to each of them, he waved his hand and walked back.
Whether it's a loved one or a passerby, it's never a good feeling when you leave. So after saying goodbye to the old man, Qiangba, and the small village, the three of them were silent for a while along the way.
If I had to say that there was any reluctance, it might not be like that. It's just human nature, and people who are good to themselves will always be difficult to give up.
What's more, they are all very emotional people, and for Lao Gu, they have already had feelings with yaks these days...... Or maybe they're just greedy for the tranquility of these days.
The road down the mountain is very steep, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's not a road. Under the cover of snow and ice, the road is extremely difficult!
Lao Gu gasped halfway and said, "You say that this place is really weird, there are not even animals, there can be people!" Does this prove that our human vitality is more tenacious? β
Qin Zhen said with a smile in front of him: "Old Gu, you are illiterate, and you don't talk much in the future, and it is not right for us to be embarrassed and involved." Who sued you that there are no animals here? There are so many animals in the Himalayas that are rare, if there are no animals, where do you get the jerky you eat these days? What is the yak that talks to you? β
ββ¦β¦ Uncle, don't talk about yaks. Looking at our surroundings now, I really think it's just the three of us gasping here. To say that we have crossed mountains and mountains, snow-capped mountains and rainforests, it is really comparable to the Long March. In order to be able to meet with our Dongshao! Lao Gu said with a lot of emotion, looking at it like that, he began to admire his hard journey.
Qin Zhen walked forward against the map, and replied to Lao Gu: "Don't talk about it, the Long March is still obstructed by the national army, don't we have nothing." β
"We have Fu Tianlei's grandson! Isn't he much more terrible than the national army? If there was him back then, our army would have been able to reach northern Shaanxi! As long as Lao Gu mentioned Fu Tianlei, he was indignant! No matter how low you are, you can instantly burst with anger.
After Lao Gu's reminder, Qin Zhen also felt a little pressure. This made him unconsciously begin to pay attention to his surroundings, and even check to see if there were any suspicious planes flying in the sky from time to time.
Jiang Qi said beside him at this time: "When the three of us walked through the snowy mountains, it was expected that he would not be able to find us in the vast snowy mountains. But when we arrived in a normal residential area, we had to be more careful. We are on the border, belonging to the chaos zone, and he can only do things more rampantly. β
After listening to Jiang Qi's words, Lao Gu answered unhappily: "Daqi, can you not add pressure to us at this time?" Don't mention that bastard, let's talk about something more inspiring! Like what...... How far do we have to go to get to the village with donkeys that Jampa said? β
It's a normal question, but it always makes people look at him in surprise when it comes out of his mouth. Qin Zhen looked at Lao Gu with a puzzled face at this time and said, "Dude, I found that you are really getting more and more loving now?" You've got a good relationship with the animals! Just communicated with the yak guΓ² feelings, are you looking forward to a long-lasting friendship with the donkey? β
"Fart! Qin Zhen, you are really bad! Lao Gu said angrily.
But Qin Zhen said as a matter of course: "I'm right, why do you focus on a very normal problem?" β
"Nonsense! Let's just say that my two legs are a little longer, and I can't bear such a toss! Have you calculated how far we have come? I tell you, I don't dare to think about it, I am afraid of my own great......ness when I think about it," said Lao Gu, looking up.
Not to mention, if you think about the way they walked on their legs, it was really a long, long distance. This process was experienced bit by bit, and even they themselves did not realize the "greatness" that Lao Gu said.
Jiang Qi calculated the distance slightly, and then said to Lao Gu: "Estimate it, no matter what, it will take two days to reach that village." β
"Two days?? So what should we do in the middle of the night?? Lao Gu said in surprise, he couldn't accept that the distance between them was so long.
Qin Zhen smiled and persuaded at this time: "Eh, why are you so panicked?" Sleeping in the snowy mountains is not new to us! You forgot the story of the Eskimo igloo I told you......"
Before Qin Zhen finished speaking, Lao Gu cried and said with a grieving face: "Uncle Bing!" At that time, there were Dong Shao and Jun Xiaoge, and there were tents! Now we don't have anything! And I haven't forgotten the brocade rat that night! As he spoke, Lao Gu subconsciously touched his face. It is estimated that the scene of the white-haired mouse's tail pumping his mouth is still fresh in his memory......
In fact, Qin Zhen is not without such worries, the species in the snow-capped mountains are rare, and no one knows what kind of beasts or monsters he will encounter. The three of them had just healed from their injuries, and they didn't want to become wounded and disabled again so soon.
Lao Gu set his eyes on Jiang Qi, as if asking him if there was some more reliable way to let the three of them spend the next two days safely. (To be continued......)
