As for the wolf skin map we found, it has also been finished with Chinese translation. Of course, the original image was not returned to us, but sent directly to Beijing. What we got was just a photocopy.
On the helicopter, Zhang Ling also gave us a detailed introduction to Cang'er Mountain. She said that the highest point of Cang'er Mountain is more than 5,000 meters. The average wind speed is 18 levels and the average temperature is minus 30 degrees. The sloping wall is covered with traces of avalanche chute...
All of what Zhang Ling said was printed on paper, and we had one copy, and the entire introduction was densely written on four sheets of paper.
The helicopter has been heading southwest, along the huge valley, with majestic peaks on both sides, snow-topped blue sky, as if traveling in a hump course.
After more than six hours of flying, the helicopter took us to a place with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters and close to 4,000 meters. Zhang Ling said that there is a village closest to Cang'er Mountain, Hemu Village.
Hemu Village will be a outpost before we enter the mountain.
At a distance of five or six kilometers from the village, we got off the plane and walked towards the village with our suitcases on foot.
Hemu Village is located in a valley between the peaks of the snow-capped mountains. The surrounding snow-capped mountains are higher than the other, and the snow line from the peak to the mountainside stretches and stretches, forming a natural ice and snow Great Wall.
The bitter wind whizzed across the ridge, and seemed to never stop throughout the year. However, the high mountains on both sides of the strait blocked the cold, and the valley was warm and rainy, with green grass.
The melted snow and snow melted into large and small lakes on the green carpet. The lake reflects the snow peaks, and the lake water is milky white. From a distance, it looks like pearls of different sizes. A river links these pearl lakes like a chain, bypassing the grass and passing through the houses.
The houses are basically built where there is water flowing, the river passes in front of the door, and there is a lake outside the window, which is easily reminiscent of the houses in the south of the Yangtze River.
Watching the cattle and sheep scattered on the grass, loose and leisurely, he said with big eyes: "It seems that people here don’t have to do anything. The sheep go out by themselves in the morning, and the sheep come back by themselves in the evening. You can see by opening the window. Lakes and pastures, snow-capped mountains and blue sky and white clouds. Every day I drink tea in the house, play chess, or go for a ride on horseback. Oh, if I can live this kind of life in the second half of my life, it will be a kind of enjoyment! "
Jia Sidao smiled and said, "If you really live here, I am afraid that within two months, you will be clamoring to return to the city."
I also laughed and joked
: "Yes, even if you don't care, you can't stand your good looks."
Big eyes rolled his eyes at me, and said, "You really have a problem with the pot, but you can't open it!"
As we were getting closer and closer to the village, the villagers found us strangers who came out from home to see what happened. They looked very enthusiastic, with smiles on their faces.
"We haven't been here for a long time. It's windy outside. Please come to my house to rest." An elderly man said to us.
He speaks Chinese. Although he is not very fluent and has a heavy accent, he still surprised us.
Zhang Ling said, "Old man, you actually speak Chinese. Are you a Han Chinese?"
The old man smiled and said, "I am a local. In our place, people often came to travel before, so I learned some Chinese."
I asked: "Less come now?"
The old man said: "The tourist route is broken. The tourist company thinks that our environment is too bad. After several accidents, this tourist route will not be opened."
Following the old man into the room, the old man went to prepare food for the guests. Zhang Ling checked the time and said, "We may have to live here for a few days. One is to adapt to the high mountain environment here, and the other is to wait for old A's notice. Old A will use satellites to monitor the climate here to see when the weather is suitable for summiting on the mountain. The climbing time may be four or five days later. We must do a good job of surveying and understanding the surrounding mountains and customize feasible climbing routes. "
After a while, the old man prepared a sumptuous meal for us, and we were eating while talking with the old man.
The old man was named Shamu Shak, and he asked us how long we were going to stay here for a trip. We told him that we were not traveling, but going to the snow-capped mountains.
Shamusak was taken aback for a moment, then sighed and said, "It's not easy to go up to the snow-capped mountains."
Zhang Ling said: "We know it's not easy, but we have to go up."
He asked: "Are you an expedition?"
Zhang Ling said: "Yes."
Shamsake said "Oh" without speaking.
Jia Sidao asked: "Brother, do you often come to expeditions here?"
Shamushak nodded first, and then told us that in a certain year, the national expedition team had come, and 26 people entered the mountain. In the end, less than half of them survived; and another year, the British expedition. The team has also been there, and I have never seen it at all. Later, people from the United States and Germany... have been there, but few can come out.
Zhang Ling asked: "That
Apart from us, has anyone been here recently? "
Shamsake shook his head and said, "The last time I came here was two years ago. It was a group of Japanese. As a result, more than 30 people entered, but none of them came out."
The four of us immediately glanced at each other. No one has been here recently. Does it mean that the Mao family haven't found this place yet
Why didn't they find this place, did they avoid it, or did they say that all the people who entered the Temple of Dobala died, and the family did not know this place
After eating and drinking for a while, we let Samusak walk around with us, of course we paid. So Shamshaq did not object, and according to our requirements, took us on the only way to the mountain.
When I came to the foot of the mountain, although it was noon, the top of the mountain was still covered by clouds and fog, and I could only see below the mountainside.
Zhang Lingchang only glanced at it and said decisively: "This road is impassable. There are three reasons for impassability: first, the weather is too bad, the second is the terrain is too complicated, and the third is too steep. With our current manpower and equipment, going up the mountain is Send to death."
Shamushak smiled and said: "What you have seen is a good situation, because this is the place guarded by the goddess Modo. The legendary goddess Modo is not very bad-tempered. In normal times, she is a very The beautiful white goddess always has a friendly smile on her face. She wears a wreath of gems, gold and silver and flowers around her neck. She usually likes to ride a lion in the color of pine otoliths. But when she is angry, she will change A violent black-faced goddess, with blood dripping from her mouth, fire in her eyes, smoke from her nostrils, her clothes turned into human skin clothes peeled from the dead, holding a skull bowl full of human blood."
I think this story is very familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere, but it is definitely not a story I heard when I was a child, but I can't remember it for a while.
Big-eyed asked: "Then you mean, if you want to go to the snow-capped mountains, it's harder to go to other places?"
"Correct."
Jia Sidao said: "It seems that we can only go up from here. Maybe when the fog on the mountain clears, the situation will be better."
Shamushak waved his hands repeatedly and said: "It's impossible. The fog on the top of the mountain is there all year round. I have been here since I was a child and I have never seen it go away. Old people said that because the goddess loves beauty after all, she I didn't want people to see her fierce appearance, so I covered my face. This mountain has been like this for thousands of years, and there will be no time to disperse the fog."
