Chapter Eighty-Nine: Earthquake Canyon

Before leaving, Zhang Fatzi took Ye Feng to the town's bazaar to buy and purchase supplies.

Although the Tibetans in the town do not know Chinese and do not understand the language, the most primitive instinctive behavior of human beings, such as buying and selling, can still be carried out smoothly with simple gestures and gestures.

What's more, the things that Zhang Fat Man bought were not complicated, except for water and dry food, he almost took out all the silver left on his body and bought all the jerky.

When he left from the meat stall, Zhang Fatzi proudly carried a whole strip of pickled and dried beef legs, which looked like a general who had returned from victory on the battlefield, and introduced to Ye Feng while walking: "These are not ordinary beef, this is called yak, which is different from the yellow cattle and buffalo raised in our Central Plains. ”

"The meat of this beef is particularly tender and delicious, and with a little preparation, even if it is slightly grilled over a fire, it can become a supreme delicacy. And this yak meat is very nutritious, we have worked very hard all the way, just use it to make up for it. ”

Ye Feng frowned, and asked with some curiosity, "Where did you know about this yak meat?"

Zhang Fatzi raised his head and said proudly: "Do you think that I have read a lot of books since I was a child, and so many books are read in vain? Even if I may not know all the delicacies in the world, I can almost know eight or nine times out of ten." It's just that I've only seen this kind of yak meat in books before, and I didn't expect to be able to eat it today, it's beautiful!"

Ye Feng shook his head, this fat man was full of food, Ye Feng even suspected that the reason why he had read a lot of books since he was a child and had a strong memory was probably to find all kinds of delicacies in the world.

He sighed a little worriedly, and asked Zhang Fatzi, "You bought all the money for this meat, what should we do in the future?"

Zhang Fatzi looked indifferent: "Didn't that uncle say that Xiao Sanji's temple will only take a month? A month later, when we find Xiao Sanji, since he is a living Buddha who has such a great influence here, are you still worried that we will have no money to eat? He will definitely entertain us with a lot of fish and meat." ”

Ye Feng even wrinkled his nose: "Don't forget, it's a temple there, they are all monks, how can there be any big fish and meat?"

Zhang Fatzi was stunned for a moment: "Yes, I forgot about this." However, I heard that the Tantric Buddhism in Wusi Tibet is very different from the teachings of the Central Plains Zen Buddhism, perhaps, they can't help but be fishy?"

Ye Feng shook his head, it seemed that all of this dead fat man's mind was on his mouth.

can't wait for later, and the silver left by Zhang Fat Man is no longer enough to spend.

Now he needs to buy two horses to carry these supplies, but when he arrives at the stall selling horses, Zhang Fat Man has taken out all over his body, and the money he finds is not enough to buy a horse.

What can I do? The language barrier, there is no way to bargain, and the Tibetans who sell horses are resolutely unwilling to give in, which is so anxious that the fat man scratches his ears and cheeks, like ants on a hot pot.

Ye Feng quipped: "Isn't it possible to barter here?" Why don't you discuss with him and exchange your big bags of yak meat with him for a horse, is he willing?"

Zhang Fat Man was stunned for a moment, looking at these yak meat with a reluctant face, hesitating.

The Tibetans who sold horses seemed to see their predicament, and with a mocking expression,

He pointed to the little silver that was left of the fat man, and then to the back of the stable.

Ye Feng and the others looked in the direction he pointed, only to see that in the corner behind the stable, there was a sparsely haired, skinny old horse, which looked like no one cared about, so it was abandoned and tied in the corner.

The meaning of the Tibetans is obvious, the silver left by Zhang Fatzi is only enough to buy such a useless old horse.

Zhang Fatzi's face sank, and he looked like he wanted to have a seizure, but when he turned around, he looked at the big bag of yak meat in distress, and finally he was reluctant, and patted his thigh: "The old horse is the old horse, as the saying goes, the old horse knows the way, anyway, it is used to carry goods, and it doesn't matter if you are old." ”

Eventually, under the mocking eyes of the Tibetans, they bought the old horse that no one cared about.

The old horse seemed to be very happy, and lowered his head and stuck out his tongue and licked the fat man's hand, as if to express his gratitude to him, but when they tied up all these large and small bags of heavy supplies and put them on the old horse's back, the old horse could hardly stand still, and gasped for breath.

Ye Feng shook his head, there is no way to do it now, he can only make do with it like this, I just hope that the delicious yak meat in this fat man's mouth will not disappoint them.

The two of them mounted their horses, followed by the old horse, which had been beaten down with a heavy package, and left the small town and continued southward.

Not long after they came out, they followed the instructions of Dr. Huang before, in order to avoid the song in front of them, and detoured westward, heading towards the Shayou Canyon.

I don't know how long I walked, but the mountains on both sides of the road gradually became steeper, looking strange rocks, and there was a deep valley in the middle, and it seemed that this was probably the canyon of some kind of disaster.

Not far into the canyon, strange things happened, the two horses under the seat suddenly walked slower and slower, looking a little hesitant, these two were the Tibetan uncle who saved them when they were about to part, carefully selected and given to them good horses, how could this be?

Looking back, the old horse, who was out of breath and had fallen when he walked, had simply stopped and refused to go any further.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "It's good that the old horse knows the way." ”

Zhang Fat Man was a little annoyed and angry, jumped off the horse at once, walked over and led the old horse's mouth to chew, shouting loudly, while dragging forward hard.

But no matter how hard he tried, no matter how hard he tried, the old horse just snored in his nostrils, and resolutely refused to take a step forward.

Zhang Fatzi was angry, it looks like he really gets what he pays for, he bought it at a cheap price, and he would be such a lazy guy who refuses to contribute.

His angry dream whip struck the old horse's ass hard, and the old horse neighed as if protesting, and suddenly opened his hooves and galloped forward.

This time it made Zhang Fatzi take aback, and shouted loudly: "My beef!" quickly turned over and got on the horse, and quickly chased after him.

Ye Feng followed behind, but he was secretly amused in his heart, this fat man, at this time, it was not his horse that was distressed, the silver he spent to buy a horse, but the yak meat he was carrying on the horse's back, it seemed that he was really hopeless.

But it's strange to say, the old horse, who even stumbled on walking just now, suddenly came to the spirit at this moment, and ran wildly like a desperate ride, and the two of them rode good horses and chased after them for a while, but they couldn't catch up for a while.

But not long after chasing, the old horse didn't catch up, but Ye Feng's heart couldn't laugh anymore.

In front of him, a peculiar sight appeared.

The flat valley in front of me suddenly rose and fell like waves on the surface of the water.

The steep mountain walls on both sides also began to shake like life, and in the white smoke and dust, huge stones made a rumbling sound and rolled down.

What's going on? What's going on?

Ye Feng was stunned, and the fat man in front of him suddenly shouted: "Earthquake, it's an earthquake, run!"

Earthquake!

Ye Feng couldn't help but be taken aback in his heart.

Although he didn't want to be as well-read as Zhang Fatzi, he had also heard of the power of this earthquake, as early as the Han Dynasty, Zhang Heng had made a geodynamic instrument to predict earthquakes, and Ye Feng had also heard of it.

Once this earthquake occurs, it is said that the sky will be dark, the earth will shake, and all the houses and buildings will be razed to the ground, and the people inside will not be spared.

Could it be that I was so lucky that I would encounter such a rare spectacle here, or was it too bad luck to encounter such a calamity?

Ye Feng couldn't believe that this was true, so he could only lie on the back of the horse and gallop wildly.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why the old horse suddenly wandered when he just entered the canyon, and refused to enter the canyon no matter what, it is said that animals have spirits, and it is clear that they have a premonition of danger.

The two of them lowered their heads, not daring to look at the surrounding scene, and let the horses under their crotches run wildly, only to feel countless boulders roaring and falling, passing by them, splashing stones hitting them, bursts of pain, feeling like a flat boat in the stormy waves, floating on the crest of the waves between life and death, resigned to fate.

I don't know how long they galloped, but suddenly, the horses on which the two men sat let out a long neighing of despair, and fell to the ground, throwing the two men straight out of their horses.

This fall was really not light, both of them were dizzy and couldn't get up, they only felt pain all over their bodies, their bones seemed to be all shattered, and in the loud sound of falling rocks around them, the two fainted.

In the fog, Ye Feng suddenly felt something wet and warm brushing on his face, and he barely opened his eyes, and he saw that it was the old horse that had run away before, and he was licking his cheek with his head down at the moment.

There was no more rumbling around him, and it seemed that the earthquake was over, and he was still alive? Even he could hardly believe it.

The whole body was still in pain, Ye Feng barely raised his head, and saw that not far away, Zhang Fat Man was also lying there, humming and moaning in his mouth, and he looked alive.

Seeing him wake up, the old horse seemed to be very happy, lowered his head and bit Ye Feng's clothes, and tried to pull upward. With its pulling, using up the last bit of strength left, Ye Feng barely supported himself and climbed onto the horse's back, the package that the old horse was carrying had long since disappeared, and it was estimated that it had fallen when it was running wild.

Carrying Ye Feng, the old horse came to Zhang Fatzi again, and concocted Zhang Fatzi on the horse's back, and then turned his head and walked slowly towards the outside of the canyon.

Although Ye Feng had no strength and was in severe pain all over his body, his mind was still quite clear.

At this moment, he only hopes that the old horse can quickly take them away from this dangerous canyon, although the earthquake has stopped, but will it happen again, who knows?
