It was still dark when we returned to the camp, and the bonfire lit by the tomb robbers had been extinguished. The Tibetan Mastiff was huddled in front of a tent, stiff and motionless. The roaring dog's kick broke its ribs and injured its lungs. If it had been operated on in time, it could still survive, but Zeng Xunlong obviously had no intention of sending it to a pet hospital.
It was quiet in the camp, as climbers and management staff hid in their tents and waited for dawn. In such an extreme environment, no one would wander around outside with nothing to do.
Ning Tao and Qing chased into the tent, while Roaring Sky Dog stayed outside the tent to guard the door.
As soon as Ning Tao put down the small medicine box, Hu Xiaoji started babbling and stretched out her chubby little hands for Ning Tao to hold.
Ning Tao reached out and took Hu Xiaoji over, held her in his arms, gently scratched her little nose with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Hu Xiaoji, this is your name, you remember it."
"Giggle..." Hu Xiaoji laughed and reached out to scratch Ning Tao's nose.
Ning Tao asked her to hold her nose, but then kissed her little hand: "Hu Xiaoji, can you tell me what's in the prescription of Xunzu Dan?"
"Giggle..." Hu Xiaoji still laughed and put a little finger into Ning Tao's nostril.
Ning Tao smiled bitterly: "It's too early to ask you this question. In this case, you can call me uncle. I am your Uncle Ning."
"Mom." Hu Xiaoji opened her little mouth and shouted.
Ning Tao was stunned on the spot. He was just teasing the child for fun, but he didn't expect that Hu Xiaoji could speak clearly at such a young age. But what surprised him was not that she could speak at such a young age. After all, even the Roaring Dog was memorizing the English alphabet. What surprised him was that Hu Xiaoji didn't call him uncle, but called him mother. Even if you want to be a relative, you should call me dad. Why should you call me mom
Qing Zhui came over and said with a smile: "Oh, you are so good. Call mom to listen."
Hu Xiaoji tilted her head and made a sound from her mouth: "Humph!"
Qing Zhui spanked Hu Xiaoji's butt: "You little guy, are you sincerely angry with me?"
Hu Xiaoji buried her little head in Ning Tao's arms and avoided Qing Zhui.
Ning Tao suddenly remembered something and said in surprise: "She doesn't think of me as... a being like Yin Yue Ying, right?"
Qing Zhui thought for a moment and said, "It's really possible. You intervened in her reincarnation. It's normal for her to treat you as her mother."
Ning Tao said with a headache: "I am a man, what kind of mother should I be?"
Qing Zhui pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Men can also be mothers. In some families formed by gay men, there is a difference between father and mother."
Ning Tao waved his hand and slapped Qing Zhui on the buttocks.
There was a crisp sound, and instead of crying out in pain, Qing Zhui stared at Ning Tao, as if he wanted to eat him into his stomach.
There are all kinds of red flowers, and there are many kinds of food to eat.
Ning Tao suddenly realized something and changed the topic: "Let's take a rest. We will go to the south slope of Mount Everest at dawn and have a look. After we are done, we will go back. It is probably time for the clinic to move."
The two of them huddled on the small mattress to rest, with Hu Xiaoji sandwiched between them. After lying there for only a few minutes, she climbed on Ning Tao's body, holding Ning Tao's clothes with one hand, and kept moving her little mouth towards Ning Tao's chest.
Ning Tao patted his forehead: "Oops, I forgot to buy her milk powder in Guancheng. Qing Zhui, please give her a hug. I'll go back and buy her milk powder now."
Qing Zhui said: "It's still dark now, where are you going to buy milk powder for her? When it gets dark, I'll ask the management for some mare's milk for her to drink."
"I'm hungry, I'm hungry... I want to eat... milk..." Hu Xiaoji made a mumbling sound from her little mouth.
"What should we do now?" Ning Tao was a little anxious. He had never taken care of a child before, so he was just blind.
Qing Zhui stretched out his hand to grab Hu Xiaoji from Ning Tao's body, and lifted up his clothes with a splash...
Hu Xiaoji was quiet.
But Ning Tao was not feeling well.
Qing Zhui's eyes were charming: "You are watching eagerly, are you hungry too? And your place, do you want it?"
Ning Tao wanted to, but when he wanted to get closer, a scripture suddenly rang in his mind: I breathed in the womb and heard the sound of the great avenue.
when!
The divine bell rings, and all desires are gone.
What's happening here
It finally dawned, and Ning Tao asked Qing Zhui to hold Hu Xiaoji while he walked out of the tent to ask for the mare's milk from the administrator.
The administrator was looking at the Tibetan Mastiff's body in front of a tent, frowning.
Ning Tao walked towards him and said politely: "Friend, do you have mare's milk? Goat's milk will work too."
The camp manager said: "Yes, in my tent, but you have to pay."
Ning Tao said: "No problem."
"By the way, where are those people?" the administrator asked.
Ning Tao shook his head: "I don't know, by the way, what's going on with this dog?"
"It's dead. How could those guys leave it alone? They should bury its body. What a bunch of uneducated guys." There was a sense of pity in the administrator's tone. People in Western Province have a special feeling for Tibetan Mastiffs. feelings, and he is no exception.
Ning Tao said: "Maybe they encountered something urgent."
In fact, even if someone found the Yamanaka Temple and found those corpses, he wouldn't worry about anything, because he didn't kill those people at all.
Ning Tao bought some mare milk from the management office and returned to the tent. After Qing Zhui fed Hu Xiaoji some mare milk, Ning Tao left the camp with Qing Zhui and Roaring Sky Dog and headed for Mount Everest.
When it got dark again, Ning Tao had already climbed Mount Everest with Qing Zhui and Howling Sky Dog, and drove to the southern slope of Nepal. What would take professional mountaineers several days to accomplish, Ning Tao and his small team only took more than ten hours.
The cold snowy wind was blowing loudly. Although Hu Xiaoji in Qing Zhui's arms was naked, she didn't feel cold at all. She looked at Ning Tao who was squatting on the ground looking at the map with her eyes wide open. After all, she is a fox demon. Even an ordinary fox can move in the ice and snow, let alone a born fox demon like her.
"This is it." Ning Tao confirmed the location and put the map away.
Qing Zhui frowned: "But there is nothing here except ice, snow and stones, what can we find?"
Ning Tao said: "You go to a sheltered place and wait for me. I will get it done soon."
"Okay, let's go over there and wait for you." Qing Zhui carried Hu Xiaoji and walked towards a cliff sheltered from the wind.
Roaring Sky Dog also followed.
Ning Tao took out the residual version of the Xunzu Pill, put it in front of his nostrils and sniffed it while injecting a bit of spiritual power into the Whisperer on his left wrist.
The next second, his vision was filled with sea water, and a huge prehistoric sperm whale swam past his head. It weighed at least two hundred tons!
The second time, the scene he saw in the past time and space was that the sea water was receding, Mount Everest was emerging from the water little by little, and the sea was filled with the carcasses of various prehistoric fish. The Whisperers caught no sound.
The voices captured by the Whisperer are actually the soul energy remaining in this space. He has entered a prehistoric time and space node, and it would be a ghost to hear the voices of people speaking.
The third time, he awakened the smelling state of his nose and enhanced the drug allergic reaction of the residual version of Xun Zu Dan. This time, he saw heavy snowflakes flying in his sight. Ice and snow covered the whole world, but there was nothing but ice and snow.
He rested for a while, used the spiritual energy field to restore his mental state, and recited the first line of "Your Sutra" to stabilize his mind. After resting for a while, he started trying again, but failed three times in a row. He simply failed to capture the soul energy left in the vermillion jade, and he also failed to capture her voice.
After the second break, Ning Tao tried to capture for the third time, but still failed.
He gave up, and he also figured out a problem, that is, only in a closed space can it be possible to capture the remaining soul energy and voices of people in the past. In a place like Mount Everest, where there are strong winds and heavy snow all day long, even if there is residual soul energy, it is unknown where it has been blown by the wind.
It seems that taking shortcuts will not work. We can only take the woman to Italy to find clues to the next skull left by Hanks.
Ning Tao came to the cliff where Qing Zhui was, and entered the residual version many times to find the drug allergic reaction of Zudan. This time, he was really exhausted physically and mentally. Coupled with the disappointment, he looked very bad.
Qing Zhui came up to him and asked with concern: "Brother Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Ning Tao smiled bitterly: "I'm fine, I'm just depressed. I didn't find any clues. Our trip was in vain."
Qing Zhui comforted him: "It's not a wasted trip. This little guy is a harvest. There are so many spiritual soils and dark night snow lotus. Don't be anxious. If you can't find it, look for it later."
She is really a warm-hearted little daughter-in-law.
Ning Tao couldn't help but put his arms around her shoulders, and the depression in his heart disappeared.
"Mom, I want you to hug me." Hu Xiaoji said, and extended her chubby little hands to Ning Tao.
Ning Tao said dumbfounded: "Hu Xiaoji, can you not call me mom?"
It's okay to call him here. Qing Zhui would only laugh at him when he heard it. But if she still calls him mother like that when she returns to the city, it will attract so many strange looks!
"Okay, mom." Hu Xiaoji said, her little arms were so straight that she still wanted to hug her.
Ning Tao had nothing to say.
"You heartless little guy, you want him to hug you as soon as your mother comes. Did I feed you for nothing last night?" Qing Zhui asked.
Hu Xiaoji snorted: "No milk, it's fake."
"You are really a white-eyed fox." Qing Zhui spanked Hu Xiaoji's butt and then handed her into Ning Tao's arms.
Being teased by Qing Zhui like this, Ning Tao didn't feel unhappy at all, but felt a very warm feeling in his heart. He hugged Hu Xiaoji for a while, rested for a while, then drew a blood lock under the cliff, and then opened the door of convenience. He gave Qing Zhui Hu Xiaoji a hug, and then he carried Qing Zhui and stepped into the door of convenience. Xiaotian followed closely and rushed into the door of convenience.
Not long after Ning Tao left, a woman in black robes came to the hillside, followed by two teenagers.
Those two teenagers were Wu Xiaolin and Liu Xianer.
The woman's entire face was covered under a black hijab, with only a pair of eyes exposed. Those eyes are like stars in the cold winter, distant and deep, without any warmth...
