Chapter 9: A Thousand Brilliant Suns (6)
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the two of them were ready to set off, and no matter how comfortable they found a place in the trees, it was certainly extremely uncomfortable compared to the inside of the tent.
In the next two days, Xiao Baiyu kept looking for game and wild vegetables, and Xu Minhan only needed to look for dry firewood nearby. Moreover, the trip has been slowed down in the past two days, and the harvest is that Xu Minhan's wind chill has almost healed.
It is ashamed to say that the surname Xiao is a descendant of the Agricultural Emperor Shennong, their ancestors have tasted all the herbs, and for the sake of the people of Limin, they have figured out the medicinal value of many plants......
It wasn't until dusk that the two of them were ready to start the fire again, learning from the experience of the last time, if they couldn't find a hut, they had to rely on a relatively large tree every time they set up a tent.
The two sat down as they prepared their food, the flames rising, and the sound of dry wood popping from time to time in the scorching flames could be heard.
Suddenly, Xiao Baiyu was silent, and the atmosphere became a little weird. The smile on his face had not faded, but his hand slowly took out the Tang knife from the evil coffin behind him, the shining knife light reflected the bright red sunset, the blade seemed to be stained with blood, and the figure became more and more demonic.
Xu Minhan looked at Xiao Baiyu in surprise, he really didn't understand this guy, Xu Minhan felt that his past was a mystery, and many times he didn't even look like a person at all.
Xiao Baiyu's state at this time made him hold his breath, and his muscles and nerves naturally entered a state of tension.
"There are wolves!" Xiao Baiyu whispered.
"?!" was silent for a long time, but Xu Minhan heard Xiao Baiyu say this, and suddenly felt a little shocked, although he calmed down for a while that night, but the fierce image of the wolves was deeply engraved into his mind, "Is it the group last night?"
"No, it's a lone wolf, and he's been following us for hours. Xiao Baiyu smiled lightly, "Originally, I found out earlier, but at first I was a little afraid that it was a member of a certain wolf pack, so I didn't dare to touch it, but now I am sure that it is a lone wolf, and I will kill it immediately!"
Xiao Baiyu turned around with a smile, and suddenly rushed out like a gust of wind, and then there was a commotion in the bushes a hundred meters away, and the commotion only lasted less than three seconds before it subsided, and after a while, he saw Xiao Baiyu calmly appearing, and there were some bright red lines on the Tang knife, it was obvious that it was no longer the sunset, but real blood.
"Let's set up the tent over there," Xiao Baiyu washed the blood stains with clean water, and pointed to a big tree a kilometer away, "The place where the wolf died is only more than a hundred meters away from us, I'm afraid that the plot of that night will be repeated again." I'm nothing, I'm just afraid that your heart can't stand it, and I'm scared so much that my little face turns white. ”
"Do I have it?" Xu Minhan's old face was slightly red, he was indeed frightened that night, although he calmed down a lot after Xiao Baiyu told him about the ecological law, but when he slept that night, his mind was full of pictures of wild wolves drinking blood, after all, the bear corpse was only more than twenty meters away from them at that time, and there was a bonfire reflection, everything could be seen clearly.
After the tent was set up, it was already completely dark, and the bonfire that was raised was very bright in the dark night, and there was no word for a long time, and the two of them went to sleep......
......
In nearly two months, they finally crossed the Himalayas, and that section of the road could have been completed in half a month, but the route they took was too torturous, for a stubborn guy like Xu Minhan, if it weren't for Xiao Baiyu's help, he might not be able to get out of this mountain at all.
"What if we just walked straight into Nepal and were caught as a drug gang?
"Of course, but we have to get out of Nepal as soon as possible, I don't have a bank card or currency that I can use in Nepal, and I have to rely on the dry food in our bags for the past two days. But fortunately, Nepal is a relatively small country, so we will speed up and try to go to India in two days, and when we get to India, we can rest for a day or two. And what you want, what you have. The most important thing is that the road behind is not so difficult. ”
"The only question is that it's already August, how hot it must be in India, Nepal is on the edge of the Himalayas, so it's not too hot, but India is different. And because of tensions with Pakistan, there is no good feeling for Allah's followers in India. ”
"It's nothing, the point is that the India-Pakistan border is not good, and when the time comes, it won't be fun to be used as a military spy when you sneak across the border to Pakistan......"
"You don't have an entry visa to Pakistan?"
"Did you do it?" Xiao Baiyu cast a disdainful look.
"No ......"
The most troublesome pilgrimage road is the Chinese and Indian side, because they have to cross the Middle East, where the world's major terrorist organizations are distributed, in the name of "***", self-proclaimed noble evil, murderous and extreme.
There have been incidents of Protoss pilgrims being seriously injured and almost dying in the Middle East, so the academy's rescue measures in this area are far more complete than in other regions, as long as you press the "SOS" button on your "mobile phone", then you will get rescue from the academy as soon as possible.
However, for the students, it is impossible to get a visa for every country along the way, and the nationalist conflicts, religious conflicts, cultural conflicts, and national conflicts in this area are staged all day long, and even if the penetration of the gods is impossible, it is impossible to infiltrate every religion.
For example, in the tense relations between India and Pakistan, it is difficult to get a visa for India to enter Pakistan, so you can only sneak into Pakistan and then take out a visa from China to Pakistan to prove that you are a non-faithful Chinese citizen, then you may also be warmly welcomed by the locals, provided that you do not get caught when you cross the border......
"Pakistan was followed by Afghanistan, then Iran. Xiao Baiyu rubbed his forehead, now Afghanistan is much better than ten years ago, after the Taliban was hit hard, Afghanistan ushered in a period of relative peace.
"By the way, when you get to Afghanistan, are you going to Kabul?"
"Go straight through Bamiyan, go to Jerusalem first, I'm going to Kabul as a real ***. Regarding this matter, Xu Minhan has a very firm attitude.
"Bamiyan?" Xiao Baiyu looked at the blue sky, "You have the courage of Dayu, and you don't go in to see when you pass by the door." ”
"I can't afford your award. Xu Minhan waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, I'll make a special trip to accompany you," Xiao Baiyu originally planned to accompany Xu Minhan to Kabul when he passed through Afghanistan, but this guy was really stubborn. "Let me go and see the innumerable bright moon on her roof and the thousand brilliant suns behind her walls. ”
"Thank you. Xu Minhan cast a sincere gaze.
"Needless to say, even though you've never been to Kabul, you'll have to do your best when you do. Xiao Baiyu smiled.
"Of course, your food, clothing, shelter and transportation in Kabul are wrapped up in me!" Xu Minhan patted his chest proudly.
Although Xu Minhan's father and grandmother have passed away, their family used to be a scholarly family, and Xu Minhan's father also has a lot of achievements, so the wealth left to Xu Minhan in the family is a lot.
It's just that most of the funds need to be used after Xu Minhan graduates from university. However, the remaining small part is enough for him to live a good life in the past few years.
"What about after you go to Afghanistan?" Xiao Baiyu looked at Xu Minhan, "How do you plan your future life after you find your mother in Afghanistan?"
"I don't know, I've never thought about it after I arrived in Kabul......" Xu Minhan let out a long sigh, "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge!"
"The boat is naturally straight at the head of the bridge, and such bastard words are your excuse for your hesitation!" Xiao Baiyu pinched Xu Minhan's shoulder, "It's best to control things in your own hands!"
"You're a very controlling person. Xu Minhan smiled.
Hearing him say this, Xiao Baiyu's eyes flashed. It seems that he is not wrong, but he is not such a character in the past few years with his uncle, and his classmates think he is a good person, plus he has average grades, and he likes to be stuffy in his position after class, no matter how you look at it, he is a small type, let alone any desire to control.
"A good gambler will never allow the situation to be out of his control under any circumstances. Xiao Baiyu's thoughts suddenly flew to distant memories, under the magnificent temple, he pointed his blade at the huge totem idol, and his cold gaze stared at the eyes of the god. His will may not even be changed by God.
"Life is not a fight outside the game, and I never wanted to be a gambler. I'm different from you, I can feel it, you and I are in different worlds, the intersection of the two of us is like a collision of two worlds, although the two of us are friends, but I think it's better for each to follow the rules of survival in their respective worlds. ”
Xiao Baiyu was a little surprised in his heart, this boy might have discovered something, but he didn't want to touch anything in Xiao Baiyu's world. He is very smart, he just wants to maintain the friendship with Xiao Baiyu, and Xiao Baiyu's world, he may faintly realize that it is difficult for him to get involved, although it is mysterious, but his keen intuition still makes him retreat.
"Yes, life is never a fight outside the game, and my life is not something that can be faced with a normal attitude. ”
Xu Minhan was stunned for a moment, when Xiao Baiyu said this, his eyes revealed a kind of vicissitudes, but his immature face had the sunny smile of the boy next door. It was as if this young body contained an old soul......
......
Two days later, the two came to India, the Indian side is worthy of being one of the core components of the gods, Han Luanshou helped Xiao Baiyu with extremely complete documents, and there is no need to worry about him being caught by the local police as an unemployed vagrant or even a military spy.
"Whew...... The funds have finally been thawed!" When he arrived in India, it meant that the bank card that the uncle had prepared for him finally came in handy, that is, he would no longer have to chew dry food to live in tents in the following days, and there would definitely be hotels along the way.
Thinking of the sadness he had come along the way, Xiao Baiyu almost had a handful of snot and tears, if it weren't for the effect of the medicine, he recalled some of the new skills of hunting and identifying edible plants, and they might not be able to get out of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
It's been almost two months, and he worked hard to get to India, and the students from India should have been setting off for about a month, and those who set off in Istanbul will probably have to play for another month before leaving......
