I was startled, and quickly rubbed my eyes to look again, but this time I didn't find anything unusual. I thought to myself, is it really the end of the game? How does this look like a precursor to a stroke? Instinctively, he shrank back into the chair. No one else noticed me, Qin Yiheng just stared out of the window blankly, even though the window was just an ordinary street. Bai Kai is very open-minded, and has already fallen asleep with his hat covering his face. I don't know how far this journey will go, so I checked the time and simply closed my eyes. No matter what is waiting for me this time, I have to get enough energy first. The car stopped and went and went straight to the plateau around Chengdu. I didn't know this area at all, and I didn't know where we were until I could occasionally see people who looked like Tibetans outside the window. As the altitude increased, my head started to feel a little uncomfortable. People become very lethargic. Always dizzy. In order to relieve the headache, I had to sleep on the road. Occasionally I opened my eyes and looked out the window, but I couldn't see anything except clouds and large forests. We drove for a day and a night on the road, during which we seldom stopped, and even for meals, we just took a few bites in a hurry. It may be the problem of altitude sickness, everyone seems to have no appetite. From the early morning of the next day, my headache suddenly became severe. Always want to throw up. Both temples felt like they were about to explode. I know this is mostly caused by lack of oxygen, but there is no oxygen tank in the car. So the car had to stop every time I walked a certain distance and let me vomit for a while before I could barely move on. However, this did not solve my altitude sickness. After noon that day, I had already started to feel limp and had some symptoms of mild coma. The car had to stop completely, and another car went to a nearby hospital to buy oxygen cylinders. At this time, our location is already very remote, and there is no human habitation nearby. I don't know how long it will take for oxygen to be available, or even think about it. Bai Kai and Qin Yiheng have been taking care of me, and I can hear them talking to me intermittently. However, it was difficult for me to hear what was being said. During the period, Bai Kai should try to give me artificial respiration, I felt my face was hurt by his hands, but I couldn't tell him that it was useless. In this state, people have no concept of time. By the time I really inhale oxygen, I don't know how many hours it will be. But simply inhaling oxygen alone did not solve the problem. I just felt a little lighter physically, and the other symptoms didn't improve. It scares me a bit, is this physical relief the oxygen that relieves the altitude sickness, or am I really going to meet God. Later, I felt that the car started to drive again, and Qin Yiheng kept using his thumb Finger scratching my forehead. Gradually, the headache really didn't hurt, and all the senses became clearer. Only then did I feel that it was not the thumb that Qin Yiheng used to shave my forehead, but the key that Wan Jinrong brought. I could smell the heavy musty smell on the keys and it made my stomach churn. I couldn't help but spit out a few mouthfuls of gastric juice immediately. After this, I felt like I was suddenly alive. I immediately sat up, and then I heard Bai Kai yell "Fuck me", followed Bai Kai to open the window and vomited, and then turned around and said, "Damn Xiao Que, you just said hello." I waved my hand and said I didn't want to either. I can't help it. It seemed strange to look up and see the scenery outside the window, as if we were walking through the gaps in the mountains. The stone walls on both sides are only twenty or thirty centimeters away from the car. The car kept rolling over small rocks on the ground, and the whole car was very bumpy. This kind of environment is usually called a line of sky. Because of geological movement or other unknown reasons, a gap was torn out of the mountain that was originally a whole. In many mountains, there will be such a line of sky landscape, but I have never seen such a long and deep one. It's a little scary. This line of sky is also very strange, and there is no wind. And it was surprisingly quiet all around. The sound of car engines kept colliding in this narrow mountain crevice, as if countless cars were passing by at the same time. Our driver's technique is very good and the speed is always fast. I want to distinguish the details of the rock walls on both sides, but I can't see clearly at all. I can only hold on to the handrail as much as I can, because I know that in this kind of mountain crevice, it is easy for the gravel from the mountain pass to fall from the top of my head. If it’s a big piece, it’s fine for us to go straight to the west. If it’s just not too big or too small, just enough to knock over the car, I’m at least prepared. Bai Kai and Qin Yiheng probably also felt that this place was a bit dangerous. The expressions are very serious. The three of them were like prisoners on their way to the execution ground, and no one spoke. The car just kept driving in a line of sky, going further and further away. The rock walls on both sides are getting closer and closer. At first there was a space of twenty or thirty centimeters, but now there are only ten centimeters left. As long as the body shakes slightly, it will rub against the rock wall. The rearview mirror of the car has been put away, so I can only turn my head and look back. I could only see the dark way of coming. I thought to myself that there would be troubles in this place, and I am afraid that no one would find the body. I lit a cigarette, the only way to calm me down at this point. At the same time, I am guessing what is on the other side of this ray of sky. After smoking more than half of the cigarette, a strong wind suddenly blew in front of him. The blow made the yellow talisman and the kit in the car shake non-stop. I think we're getting close to the exit. Sure enough, it didn't take long. The road ahead is getting brighter and brighter, and I can vaguely see a The end of the sky. The driver took a deep step on the accelerator, and suddenly all the scenery brightened up. There's a valley out there! Wan Jinrong made a gesture, and the car stopped slowly. A group of people got out of the car and immediately froze in place. Because in the valley in front of us, there is a large building. The style of the building is obviously not modern, but I can't tell what period it is. Only patches of dark gray roofs can be seen, arranged in a patchwork manner in the valley. On the periphery of this building, there is a circle of things like a city wall. The city wall is a bit higher than those houses, and only some towering trees can pass the city wall and penetrate into the city. Damn, is this an ancient city? And fortifications! I stretch out my hand, but I don't know where to point. Just go and see. You stay here. Wan Jinrong said something to the driver, then turned around and made another gesture. In the car behind us, a few people got off quickly, hurriedly moved several large boxes in the car to the ground, and sat back in the car. You go pick some that you think will be useful. I have basically everything I can think of. Wan Jinrong made a gesture of invitation and said, I don't know how many days I will be back from this trip, so bring as much as possible. I went over to open the box, and found that there were all kinds of objects in the alchemy that I could name or not. I obviously don't need these things, so after thinking about it a few times, I took a mahogany stick for self-defense. Qin Yiheng and Bai Kai picked and picked, and took a lot of various things. One person is stuffed with a hiking bag. Bai Kai pinned a few big bags of chicken blood to his belt, and it looked like a hand grenade at first glance. Hey Xiao Que! You drip, keep up with the drip work. Bai Kai took the lead to walk forward, and our group walked along the periphery of the valley and onto a very narrow small dirt road. This dirt road is obviously stepped on by humans, it is full of potholes and it is difficult to get off. Bai Kai himself was carrying heavy things, and he couldn't help but wobble when he walked. After walking for a while, he stopped suddenly. He looked back as if he had lost something. The few people behind were a little strange, and when they looked back, they didn't find anything. What are you looking at? I was closest to Bai Kai and patted him. Xiao Que, this road is not right. Look at the plants on both sides of the road. Bai Kai pointed to the path under his feet, this path was made by people, right? But look here, and here. What I just noticed, I'm afraid the road behind us is also like this. I looked down and saw that our path was lined with very short shrubs. I don't know what species it is, but it's much smaller than the kind used for greening in cities. If you want to open a small path, you don't even need to hack it with a knife, you just need to walk a few more times and step on it with your feet. But strangely enough, I saw that the shrubs on both sides of the road were somewhat damaged. I express this because the damage to those shrubs was clearly not caused by trampling or cutting with a knife. On the contrary, it seemed to be pulled violently by someone with an external force, so it was stumbling around. Will there be any wild beasts passing by here? I asked, if it is a beast, it will definitely not walk so steadily like a human. Maybe destroying flowers and plants on the road to relieve boredom? No, Bai Kai took a few quick steps forward. Xiao Que, here is paper money. Bai Kai picked up the paper money from the ground and blew on the floating dirt on it. Soon he bent down again and picked up another sheet. Damn, it's not the same batch of paper money. Many people must have walked this road. And Bai Kai suddenly turned his head and shouted at Qin Yiheng, Qin Yiheng! This road is not for the living!
