The homeless man took advantage of Xu Qian's stunned moment, snatched a few biscuits from her hand, turned around and ran. Xu Qian was so shocked that she forgot to catch up.

I grabbed the shoulder of the guy's vest with a quick eye, but the guy's strength was amazing, and with a "tear" sound, he pulled the shoulder and fled. I glanced at Xu Qian, I didn't know whether to chase or not, just in the blink of an eye, he turned an alley and disappeared.

I didn't fully see the homeless man's chest in the lower direction of Xu Qian, but I vaguely saw the mysterious bird-shaped pattern, which was exactly the same as the clues we had before, but I knew what Xu Qian must know, and hurriedly asked, "Yada clan?" What's in his chest? ”

Xu Qian said: "Yes, it's a bird-shaped pattern, it should be Gawu, right?" ”

"Gau? That's right! Last time, Luo Jianfen and I found a hanging ornament in the suburbs was a gold gawu blanket, which is the totem of the Yada people! ”

"Hmm!" Xu Qian nodded vigorously.

"But......" I can't believe that this mysterious Yada clan has appeared in front of us like this, "is it really God's eyes?" ”

"The Yada are the tribe that is the deepest into the no-man's land, how did they end up here?" Xu Qian wondered.

"I heard from Lama Siti that before the liberation of the Yada people, they were still in the primitive tribe period of slash-and-burn cultivation and group hunting."

Xu Qian muttered: "Yes, the place where they live is not connected to the road, and they have to climb over the peak of more than 7,000 meters above sea level, leaving the last plateau primeval forest. ”

"But they also have their own civilization, and it can be seen that they have very rich mining resources, and they wear gold and silver."

"Not really." Xu Qian shook her head, "Although I don't know much about the Yada tribe, as far as I know, the environment in the place where they are located is very harsh, they are brave and fierce, they are the best hunters in the plateau forest, and the reason why they have gold jewelry is because they have developed foreign trade in addition to hunting." ”

"Trade?" I was surprised, "But aren't they a closed race?" ”

"Closure is relative, didn't the Qing Dynasty still open up thirteen lines of seclusion?" Xu Qian said, "It is said that they are not to be approached, and once they get close, it will bring plagues, death, and disasters, but because the Himalayas are close to Bhutan and Nepal, foreign trade is inevitable, so through trade, they exchange for these rare metals." ”

I nodded, there seemed to be another layer of understanding of the Yada tribe, looking at the empty streets, I asked Xu Qian: "Now that people have run away, do you want to chase them?" ”

Xu Qian nodded fiercely and said: "Chase, we must find this person, I have an intuition that he can bring us incredible clues." ”

We got into the car and went around and asked a local, who pointed out a way, and finally muttered, "What's so good about that crazy beggar, one after another people are looking for him." ”

"What!" Xu Qian and I were both taken aback, and hurriedly asked, the man said, "Just a month ago, there was a woman, in her thirties, who was also asking where the madman lived, do you know each other?" ”

I shook my head, my eyes widened, and asked, "A woman?" Do you know what she looks like? Where did she go afterward? ”

"I don't know, she's just here to ask for directions, how do I know where she's gone? She is not Tibetan. ”

Someone came to look for this homeless man before us, and this clue aroused the sensitive nerves of Xu Qian and me. "Sister Qian, there must be something wrong here?" I wondered, "Who's going to come to him?" Is there already someone eyeing him? ”

"A month ago!" Xu Qian's attention was on time, "Someone came to him a month ago, but he didn't take any action, why do you think this is?" ”

"Why?" I don't know why.

"I have a bold assumption."

"What assumption?"

"I suspect that the person who came to him for a month doesn't know who he is, she just has doubts about him, which explains why he came and didn't take action." Xu Qian analyzed, "But do you remember what Ye Heping looked like when he first saw him?" ”

"Surprised? What's wrong? ”

"Not just surprise, but also a hint of joy. Although he covered it up well, but he couldn't hide it from my eyes, the route we took today was arranged by him, especially the accommodation here today, it was not an accident of time, he came here just to meet this mysterious man. ”

"What? You say he knew about him early on? "I couldn't figure it out," but we clearly saw that Ye Heping didn't know this Yada people. ”

"He really doesn't know him, but Ye Heping is very suspicious, he must have found that there are a lot of doubts in this person, so he came here to personally verify it."

"According to you, wasn't the woman who came here that month—" I paused, "Luo Jianfen?" ”

Xu Qian nodded, "Nine times out of ten, that's it." ”

"I see." Although this idea is a bit jumpy, it has to be said that this is a plausible explanation.

"Whether this is the case or not, as long as you go to Luo Jianfen and ask, you will find out." Xu Qian said.

"How do you ask? Luo Jianfen, a stinky girl, wears a pair of pants with Ye Heping, and she is not a person who is a person with me, she will not be honest with me. ”

"How do you know if you don't give it a try, I think this teacher Luo of yours is really sincere to you."

"Don't talk nonsense."

I couldn't stand Xu Qian's teasing of me, so I had to agree to her to go to Luo Jianfen to ask for clarification, but before leaving, Xu Qian had a plan for me: a bitter plan. She asked me to try to see if Luo Jianfen was sincere to me, and I thought that if Luo Jianfen was really just a different dream in the same bed, then the breakup would be considered famous, so I agreed to this strategy.

Luo Jianfen was angry with me because of the conflict with Xu Qian, and hid in the room alone. I knocked on the door for a long time, but the door was not opened. In desperation, I had to find the front desk. How do I know that as soon as I entered the door with my front foot, Luo Jianfen suddenly pounced on me from behind the door, hugged my neck, kissed me first, and then said in a coquettish voice: "You are dead, I thought you didn't want me anymore!" ”

"Uh...... I ......, "I don't know how to answer for a long time."

"Nasty!"

"By the way, I have something here, I want to discuss it with you, you must tell me truthfully."

"What's the matter, why are you so serious all of a sudden!"

I brewed my emotions for a while, and looked into her eyes in an affectionate tone, I believe that a person's eyes will not deceive, even if she has good acting skills. It may be that my emotions exaggerated her, and Luo Jianfen gradually began to enter the situation, with a faint sadness in her eyes.

"Tell me, what do you want to know?"

"Do you love me?"

Luo Jianfen was surprised at first, before that, I had never talked about this topic in front of her, "I ......" Luo Jianfen hesitated, but this hesitation was not so affectionate, but she could see the entanglement in her heart, "I don't know either." ”

In the end, she gave me an ambiguous answer, I don't know, it means that it can be both love or no love, there is a kind of hesitation, but formally this wandering, I can be sure of one thing, at least it shows that she has moved the truth.

"If, I mean, had to choose between me and Professor Ye, which would you choose?"

Luo Jianfen smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I knew you would definitely ask, the professor has the grace of knowing and recreating me, and my life is given by him, so I will not betray him no matter what!" ”

"Okay, I already know the answer."

"No, you listen to me." Luo Jianfen stopped me, "But I still have to tell you what I really think in my heart." You must think that I am with you to take advantage of you, I don't want to deny this, but, in fact, when the professor discussed with me, I was voluntary, in other words, I took the initiative to ask for it, I don't know when it began, your shadow appeared in my mind, lingering like poison, and it is ridiculous to say, this teacher-student relationship, it is like I am deceiving myself alone. ”

Of course, I know what Yeping means to Luo Jianfen, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve, and Luo Jianfen chose to be loyal to Yehe, which is understandable. But when I heard her confide in her true feelings, I didn't feel good in my heart, so that it seemed that I was unkind.

"What if......" I paused, "what do you say?" ”

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point, did you come to look for that homeless man you saw at the door tonight a month ago?"

When Luo Jianfen heard this, she was obviously shocked, probably she didn't expect me to ask again. Maybe it was because the conversation just now made her show her true feelings, so she didn't watch out for anything, "Yes." ”

"Looks like I guessed right."

"I didn't expect that you were still one step ahead."

"It's not a head start, and if we did, I wouldn't have come to talk to you about it."

"And what do you mean?"

"Since it is cooperation, there must be sincerity." I smiled, "I decided to meet him for a while tonight, I don't know if you're interested." ”

Luo Jianfen agreed without saying a word, which was unexpected by me, and she didn't seem to have any intention of reporting to Yeheping.

The three of them came to the temporary residence of the homeless man, the house was built of all wood, supported by wooden buildings, four or five meters high from the ground, the five-colored cloth strips on the roof were gray stains, the façade was painted with the sun and the moon auspicious clouds, and there were white stone towers on both sides of the lintel, and a pair of horns were placed in the middle. house

The door was not locked, and when I pushed the door in, the house was empty, the wind passed through the hall, and the smell of urine and urine mixed with the smell of all kinds of rotten food came to my nose.
