After hearing Shamu Shaq’s words, Zhang Ling’s face was worried. She said: “If the fog on the top of the mountain stays all year round, we must climb in the blind zone. This situation is called self-killing climbing. And even if the fog disperses, this kind of terrain climbing will not be easy."
For a while, we all fell into a brief silence, because we knew what we would face if the fog on the mountain remained.
Seeing that we both showed sadness, Shamshak said, "Maybe you should find a guide."
Zhang Ling immediately asked: "Are there a guide?"
Shamushak nodded and said, "There is one. He called Maimaiti. Before someone could not come back from the mountain, they were always buying Maimai and leading people up the mountain to find it. But if you want to buy Maimaiti up the mountain, the price is not low."
Big eyes asked: "How much does it cost?"
"Ten thousand."
Big Eye immediately smiled and said, "Okay, we will pay the money."
Shamsak said: "I said ten thousand a day."
Ten thousand a day? It's not cheap at all.
Zhang Ling said: "Money is not a problem, but can he really take us up the mountain?"
"If Maimaiti can't, then no one of us can do it. Many years ago, the national scientific expedition team came once. At that time, Maimaiti led the way for them, but they failed. Come back. Later, some other teams wanted to find Maimaiti to lead the way, but he never agreed."
I said: "Then can he promise us?"
Shamsake said: "It should be possible, because his wife is ill and needs a lot of money. He told me a few days ago that if anyone wants to go up the mountain, let me introduce him."
Big eyes asked: "Then can you take us to find him now?"
Shamsak said, "Of course."
Zhang Ling said: "Don't worry, let's talk about the terrain here first."
Jia Sidao said, "Let me come to survey the terrain, and you can go to Maimaiti."
Shamu Shaq took the three of us to find Maimaiti. On the way, Shamu Shake said, "Maimaiti is a good person, although he has a weird temper. But many times, he helped the villagers retrieve the lost ones. Sheep, and also tell us which areas are dangerous, don’t take the sheep there. Sometimes villagers see that when there are no outsiders entering the mountain, he will enter the mountain alone."
This
At the time I understood half of it, I asked, "Isn't he from your village?"
"No, he comes from deep in the mountains. There was an avalanche where he used to live, and the whole village was buried. Only he and his wife escaped."
"Deep in the mountains?" I asked.
"It's also a village. Their village is closer to the snow-capped mountains than ours."
It suddenly dawned on me that I couldn't help nodding.
Zhang Ling asked: "Where does he live now?"
"Living in the mountains. He has a large herd of sheep and a large cellar. He comes out about twice a year and uses sheep for necessities of life. Every year when the officers and soldiers stationed on the border visit us, he will also prepare a daily necessities for him. Our village People live like this too."
Listening to Shamu Shak’s introduction of Maimaiti along the way, I walked for about half an hour. The grass stalks under my feet gradually disappeared, and the huge pebbles grew. The cold air was very cold. The smooth pebbles were very slippery. Not easy to go.
Zhang Lin looked at Daxue Mountain again, pointing to the pebbles on the ground and said: "These stones show that glaciers had already covered the area we occupied long ago, and now the global warming has shrunk there. Up."
Dayan and I are not as concerned about global warming as Zhang Ling. We only hope that this trip to Lop Nur can come and go back peacefully.
Shamsak pointed to the front and said, "Turn over from the front col, and walk for about half an hour, and you will see Maimaiti's house."
The wind in the col is so strong that it hurts on the face. The mountains on both sides are like two giants with their legs crossed together. Now, we are going to pass between the folded legs.
Suddenly, the wind seemed to be even bigger, and the howling wind was faintly filled with aura. The invisible and intangible aura made the four of us stop at the same time. Withered grass trembling in the frantic wind, seemed to want to escape the invisible mysterious power.
I closed my eyes and said intuitively: "Something is coming towards us, fast!"
As soon as I said Ann, I heard Big Eyes yelling, "Look!"
I opened my eyes hurriedly and saw a white lightning in the wind. The white lightning seemed to suddenly appear from the void. Everyone only saw that it was a kind of white light that can only be emitted by lightning. We pounced.
That's a pang
Big and white animal!
The open mouth with big eyes is about to close, Zhang Ling is about to take a defensive posture with one foot in front and one foot in the back, but Shamushak has no time to make any reaction. In front of the white light, everything appears. Slow and slow.
When everyone recovered from the state where their actions became slow, the white light had already reached us.
Tweeted...
When the whistle sounded, the white behemoth immediately turned and ran. The speed of the thing was astonishing. In the blink of an eye, it reached a dozen sides and then disappeared into the mouth.
Big eyes and horror asked: "What monster was that just now?"
Shamu Shaq was also very frightened, and said with a pale face: "It's a dog raised by Maimai."
Zhang Ling said: "It's the Snow Mastiff. The whistle just now should be from the owner of the Snow Mastiff."
Although Xue Mastiff has already left, Shamu Shaq still did not relax. He said: "After turning your mouth, you will go to Maimaiti's house. I think... I think... You should go by yourself."
I asked: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay... I'm just afraid of that thing."
Big eyes asked: "Have you never seen it before?"
Shamushak said: "Maimaidaoshan never carries a dog. I just heard the villagers say that I have never seen it. When you see Maimaiti, please greet him for me."
Shamshaq refused to continue to lead us forward, and we were not good at begging him. I said, "Well then, let's go find Maimaiti by ourselves."
We shook hands with Shamsak and bid farewell. After watching him leave, we entered the col.
When I entered the col, I thought that the house in Maimaiti was right in front of my eyes. Who knew that the road was far away from the mountains, and I walked for several miles, passing through the valleys and valleys, and my eyes suddenly widened. The meadow is like a green stadium. The stone house made of pebbles and concrete is at one end of the green field. Dozens of dead tree stumps surround a big circle behind the house.
However, I found that there was nothing in the sheep pen, and there were no cattle or sheep on the surrounding meadows.
When I came to the door, I saw symbols related to the sun and the moon painted on the wooden door, and the lintel was very low.
A low roar of "Woo" came from the door.
Needless to say, the snow mastiff was also in the house just now.
I cleared my throat and said, "Excuse me, is Maimaiti at home? We were introduced by Shamsak."
