Chapter Eighty-Four: Walking the Mountain Stream
When I got to the easternmost part of the village, I saw a place where livestock were kept in captivity. It seems that the place has rationalized the use of a favorable resource and is moving towards a well-off life. To be exact, they are now more than well-off.
The caretaker of the livestock was an elderly man who was very happy to see the Rolex. It can be seen that they have a regular business relationship.
Rolex selected three donkeys, and then led them in front of Qin Zhen and them, and said proudly: "Just these donkeys, who have taken countless people from all over the world to cross the border between China and Nepal!" You will have to rely on them for your next international trip! ”
Qin Zhen couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, the expression of this Rolex when he introduced the donkey was like introducing his own father, with infinite respect and worship.
At this time, Lao Gu asked angrily beside him: "Just three donkeys?" What about you? Carrying a donkey? ”
Rolex also heard Lao Gu's teasing, and scratched his hat in embarrassment and said, "Look at you, you are really good at laughing...... If I had ridden a donkey, there would have been no one to take the lead. I'm going to have to lead them along! Your travel expenses, including my leg money! Haha, let's go, shall we? ”
Lao Gu snorted and said, "Well, you are the leading donkey." Let's go! We're a little pressed for time, so let's hurry up. ”
Rolex nodded again and again, and took the donkey and let Qin Zhen and them ride on.
To be honest, if he had known that he could walk without a donkey, Qin Zhen would rather walk like a Rolex. Riding a donkey is different from riding a horse, and there is nothing abnormal about these old men riding tall horses. Bao Bu Qi can still have a bit of a dashing spirit of galloping horses. But this donkey riding is different, the donkey is relatively short, and the size is not too big, especially the height of Lao Gu, the two legs are pulled down like a donkey has six legs......
As soon as the three of them got on the donkey, their expressions were not very natural. Although the weight of the donkeys is much heavier than theirs, the three big men riding on the donkey and moving small steps, no matter how you look at it, are a little suspicious of animal cruelty.
Qin Zhen wanted to come down and leave, but was stopped by Lao Gu: "Da Zhen, you have to figure out a reality." The donkey also received the money. You are a woman's kindness. It's better to give him all the money for nothing, and let him lead the donkey back! There's still a long way to go, and you don't always have a donkey to ride! You have to know how to enjoy the comfort of exchanging Dongshao's assets at the moment, understand? Sit honestly! ”
Qin Zhen was also a little helpless when he said this. I could only sit uneasily and shut my mouth. They looked at it from a distance. I could only see three men coming upside down. You can't see the donkey at all.
But after leaving the village, Qin Zhen somewhat understood why he had to ride a donkey to walk. The first reason for this, of course, is to make an extra piece of money. But the more important reason is that these mountain people and livestock are familiar with mountain trails. And they're very accustomed to it.
Let's just talk about these three donkeys at the moment, climbing hills, turning corners, drilling caves, wading in streams, and so on. If Qin Zhen and the others really chose to walk in the first place, it might bring a lot of trouble to the guide and delay a lot of time. In this way, the function of the donkey is really not to be underestimated.
Originally, this was also the foot of a snow-capped mountain, and the path that only the mountain people knew was walking in all directions. It is undulating, and is flanked by lofty mountains and majestic snow-capped mountains. A snow-capped Buddhist country like Nepal is actually blessed with unique natural conditions. The feeling of seeing the Himalayas at a glance has long been coveted by countless people in the world.
I don't know if it's because of the money I made, but Rolex was in a very good mood on the road. While singing the high-pitched mountain song tune, he slowly walked forward with "whipping the donkey".
After walking a long distance, Qin Zhen and the others felt the pain of the bumpy mountain road. This section of the road in the middle is surprisingly difficult to walk, although Rolex and Donkey donkey don't feel too much, but Lao Gu shouted in the back that his pants are about to wear out!
Originally, the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and this donkey was too familiar with the road, so Qin Zhen's intestines seemed to be starting to go up. When he couldn't bear it anymore, Qin Zhen covered his chest and asked, "I said Brother Rolex...... How far do we have to cross? How could this mountain road be so difficult to walk? I'm dizzy, I can't do it......"
After hearing this, Lao Gu immediately followed and said, "That's right! I can't do it either! I can't wait to carry the donkey on my back and let it feel the bumps. ”
Rolex smiled and looked back and said, "Just get used to it." This road was dug by the mountain people themselves. Otherwise, do you think there will really be a way to cross the border between China and Nepal? We have lived here for generations, and the closest place to China is not as close to Nepal as possible, and sometimes we need a medicine or daily necessities or something like that, so we can only go back and forth between the two countries to exchange transactions. I really can't live! ”
Hearing this, Lao Gu blinked his eyes, and swallowed back what he wanted to say. He is like this, his mouth is more ruthless than anyone else, but his heart is softer than anyone else. I'm not used to two bad words from others, but I can't listen to two soft words from others.
At this moment, when I heard this Rolex talk about the life of their people here, I immediately felt that my heart was not good. He even muttered in a low voice, "Ahem, that...... This mountain road is really difficult to walk, and the life of the mountain people is really not easy, so it seems that it is still a big event for us to cross the two countries. Now I suddenly feel that the little money we gave me doesn't seem to be a big deal......
Jiang Qi and Qin Zhen smiled tacitly at the same time and did not speak. They know that Lao Gu is such a personality. As long as the other party is really pitiful, it is not a problem for him to hand over all the valuable things on his body. If you rob this kind of person, you must not use hard words, if you use hard words, he will have to scold you to death if he doesn't beat you to death. If with a soft one, in a pitiful way...... Then the deal will be done.
Qin Zhen asked Rolex in front of him at this time: "Big brother, I want to ask you a place!" How can we get to the Sagarmatha area? How far is it from where you put us down? ”
Rolex thought for a moment and said, "Are you going to that park?" It's in the Solokombu area, such a famous place, everyone will know it! It's a little bit away from where you came into Nepal, but it's not too far. ”
When Qin Zhen heard this, he felt that he should not continue to ask, this big brother was now bent on taking them to the park attractions, and it was not the place where they were going at all. If you continue to ask like this, you can only get more and more confused.
Jiang Qi chased after him at this time: "We are hiking, not going to any parks." You just tell us what direction we should go after we leave you. ”
After listening to Jiang Qi's words, Rolex smiled knowingly. I don't know why, this person's laughter always makes people feel so obscene...... I heard him laugh and say, "Hiking is to go to a sparsely populated place, right?" I see that several of you are all brave and mighty, and I wonder if Sagarmata is going to Mount Everest. There are many sparsely populated places on Mount Everest, and it can be said that the entire snow-capped mountain is deserted. It's just that it's a little more dangerous there. ”
Qin Zhen felt quite moved when he heard it, but he immediately continued: "Yes, we will pay more attention, you can just tell us the general direction." ”
"In a few miles, I'll put you in a col, straight through the mountain stream, into the forest, and down the mountain, and you'll be at the border of Nepal. After that, as long as you keep going northeast, you will be where you want to go. In fact, even if you haven't seen that mountain, you can recognize it at a glance. ”
Qin Zhen heard that this route was a bit complicated, so he repeated it over and over again in his heart, so that he could remember it more deeply. In the mountains, a sentence that goes down the mountain through the forest is easy to say, but it will be very difficult to do.
Lao Gu asked puzzled at this time: "Co-author, don't you send us to the place?" You let us walk by ourselves, can we walk through? ”
Rolex said with confidence: "Don't worry, the mountains there are very special, and you can hear them quickly if you run from afar." Because of the mysterious echo, it is not suitable for livestock to enter, and it is easy to startle them at the slightest movement. Anyway, you're already in Nepal when you get there, and the way down the mountain is not difficult, so you don't have to worry too much. ”
When the three of them heard this special reason, they looked at each other and didn't say anything more. If it was a place like a valley with an exaggerated echo, then they understood why Rolex couldn't take a donkey in. Animals are more sensitive to the environment, for the last few steps, not to mention the alarm, if the movement is too big to surprise the residents or soldiers on the border, it will be too much. Rolex is definitely very well thought out.
After passing through a mountain stream again, Qin Zhen looked up at the sky-like cliff, and had an indescribable feeling in his heart. No matter how you look at it, it looks like Guan Yunchang's interpretation of Cao Cao's Huarong Road, surrounded by cliffs, and the middle road is extremely narrow, which makes people feel depressed.
At this time, Lao Gu also looked at the towering cliffs around his head, shook his head, and said, "This place is really fucking steep!" To say that the mountain people are really powerful, they have actually stepped out of a cross-border road in such a place. If the border police suddenly chase after you, I'm afraid you won't be able to run. ”
Hearing Lao Gu say this, Rolex smiled a little proudly and said, "The place we are looking for has long been an absolutely safe place." Not to mention that there are no border troops here, and even if there are, we can escape safely by knowing the mountain roads. In the forest you are going to in a moment, there are many places where we mountain people have made their own markers, and even if an army chases us, we can confuse him! ”
"Hahaha! That's amazing, huh? Aren't you afraid that you will be confused? Qin Zhen asked curiously. (To be continued......)
