Dunzhu was chatting with a little brother in the caravan. I walked up and said hello. When he saw me coming, he pointed at the little brother and said: "His name is Qianba. His hometown is near Heiyun Village. That should be
It is the closest village to Heiyun Village."
"Yeah?"
"That's right, he only followed half of the way on this trip, and then went home to visit his wife. You just follow him, he is a local snake here."
The dark-skinned little brother smiled shyly and said hurriedly: "Brother Dunzhu, don't talk nonsense. I'm just an errand boy. You can rest assured that you can leave this business to me."
"Dunzhu, I really have you. I'll find two bodyguards at once."
Qiangba said: "Our village is the largest nearby, but it is still much smaller than Heiyun Village. This time, the cargo only passed through the outside of Heiyun Village. If you want to enter the village, there are no locals to lead the way.
There is absolutely no way to find the entrance. Hehe, although Uncle Ciwang’s name is famous, when entering the mountains, it is my little Qiangba who has the final say.”
I know very well that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, so I praised him a few words. The half-grown boy couldn't help but praise him, and he immediately ran away in shame.
"Dear guests, I can only help you so much."
"Why is this?"
"Uncle Ciwang has left the caravan. According to the rules, I will not give up this business to him, but he is an old man in the caravan after all, so I will leave it to him to guide you the rest of the way."
Although Dunzhu said this, I have no idea what he was planning in his heart. Maybe he was worried about the dangerous route and was looking for someone to take over. I thought of the relationship between Uncle Ciwang and Deyang Ram.
After much argument, they finally decided not to tell Dundup and parted ways with him.
Dundup said goodbye to us one by one, and then turned back.
Ren Yonghai had been walking around in the team just now. When he saw Dunzhu leaving, he hurriedly pulled me to a deserted corner and whispered.
"I asked just now, but the forbidden area of ​​Heiyun Village does exist, and people from all over the country are very secretive about it."
I asked why you asked about everything, whether it was an occupational disease. He said disdainfully: "Some things, seemingly small, can be fatal at critical moments. If you don't investigate clearly in advance, you will suffer the consequences."
"Officer Ren, even if this Heiyun Village is mysterious, it is still our Chinese territory. If you, the criminal police captain, stand here, let me see what they can do to us?"
"Lin Kun, please be more serious."
"That's what Officer Ren taught you."
...
Seeing that Ren Yonghai was getting annoyed, I quickly changed the topic and asked him what information he had found out.
Ren Yonghai started chatting enthusiastically, gestured on the ground, and said: "The mountain we are going to climb later is called Xianren Peak. If we follow the mountain road, we will reach the boundary line of Heiyun Village tomorrow afternoon. Inside the caravan
Someone told me that in addition to Heiyun Village, there are five or six fortresses of various sizes in the local area."
At this time, the horses in the open space neighed one after another. We ran over and took a look, and it turned out that Uncle Ciwang was organizing his men to lift the luggage and goods onto the horses.
The main reason why you need to bring goods is that the only legitimate reason for the caravan to enter Heiyun Village is to do business. Business without goods is impossible, so just in case, you must bring goods.
Even though these ten boxes are big, they are not a challenge to the wisdom of the working people. They connected the horses front to back, then used ropes to fix the weight between the two horses, and used bamboo poles to support the bottom of the cargo box, one on the left and one on the left.
On the right, each sent one person to carry it.
I asked Uncle Ciwang why he didn’t walk the two horses side by side, which would be much more convenient. Deyang Lhamo next to him smiled and said, “It seems like you have never been to the mountainous area.
City people, Immortal Peak is a winding mountain road. The narrowest part can only accommodate one person passing sideways. If two horses run side by side, it is not courting death! Besides, the pace of the two horses is different, so your method will not work at all."
"The road up there is so narrow?" It's not that I've never seen a dangerous plank road before, but looking at these tall horses and heavy cargo, I really don't understand how they can climb over the mountain.
Another Kham man in the team sneered next to me: "Young man, traveling on a boat is 70% risky. The business we do is not much safer than you doing underground. Since we only eat this bowl of rice, we naturally have ways to transport things."
In the past, there was no need for you to worry about things in vain."
Although I was dissatisfied with this guy's arrogance, I was impressed by the abilities of the caravan. It is indeed not something ordinary people can do to transport such a huge amount of goods in deep mountains and steep cliffs where modern equipment cannot be used.
In the world, apart from the caravans that run along the Tea Horse Road all year round, there is really no one else who can take on this job.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, all ten large black boxes were placed. Uncle Ciwang asked someone to lead a mule for each of the four of us.
"Young man, don't dislike this mule. The rule in our caravan is that horses are more valuable than people. Horses can only be used to carry goods and cannot be ridden. Look at other people, they still have to carry burdens on their shoulders! I see.
You are not like people who often walk. The two mules are carrying camping tents. If you are tired from walking, you can ride for a while."
I looked at the caravan boys walking by, and sure enough, all of them were carrying huge packages on their backs. Even the girl Deyang Ram had a half-person-high basket tied to her body, which was filled with sweet potatoes.
Such dry food as they ran past me in a high-spirited manner.
The man took the opportunity to ridicule: "You young people today are not as good as we were back then. It's too late for you to go back now. If you follow the team later and drag yourself back, don't blame me for kicking you down the mountain."
."
"Tenzin, don't be rude!" Tsewang scolded.
"Brother Tenzin doesn't have to worry about it. We are still young and we can still walk this way."
I handed a gray mule in my hand to Ren Yonghai, then caught up with Deyang Ram and snatched the basket from her back.
"Come on, girl, I'll carry it!"
As soon as I put it on my back, my dear, it felt heavier than a mountain. The two ropes pressed on my shoulders, making my skin numb. I really don’t know how a little girl carried it over mountains and ridges.
At this time, a crisp gong sound came from the front of the team.
"Open the valve and go to the aisle!" Uncle Ciwang roared majestically, and the entire team burst out with a echo that echoed through the clouds.
I, Ren Yonghai, Xu Yaxian and Caiyun followed Uncle Ciwang's caravan and started to move towards Heiyun Village, which is full of mysterious legends.
Even though Uncle Ciwang's caravan is just a civilian transportation team, the internal division of labor is very clear. The eight men are divided into outpost defenders, one team is opening the road in front, and the other team is guarding the rear.
Uncle Tsewang said that life is now peaceful and there are few bandits on the road. If Immortal Peak was as steep as this in the past, bandits who would dominate the mountain and become kings would have been inevitable.
I looked around at the mountain top of Immortal Peak. It was towering and steep, with dense forests like clouds. The only thing that could pass for carriages and horses was the winding mountain trail at our feet. It was indeed an easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack place with thousands of enemies.
The Immortal Peak is limited in size. If it were not for this mountain, it would only take half a day to go to Heiyun Village. But it is a block across the mountain, and it would take at least four or five days for ordinary people to climb over it. Only the Iron Horse Gang who travels across Yunnan and Guizhou, they have
A set of mountain-climbing stunts that allows chariots and horses to cross steep mountains and reach the other side in one day.
Qianba followed me all the way and kept preaching about the majesty of the Iron Horse Gang.
, which made me full of curiosity about how to fly across the cliff in one day. But this monkey boy was really hateful. Halfway through his words, he ran ahead to chase Deyang Ram, saying that we would be able to do it when we climbed to the mountainside.
See the magic of this place.
According to the current speed, if we are lucky, we will arrive at Heiyun Village before dark tomorrow.
"Girl, this item is really heavy. You're a girl, wouldn't it be tiring to walk with such a big basket of items on your back?"
Deyang Ram said: "I'm used to it."
I thought to myself why this Tibetan woman is so cold. It's not like I haven't interacted with Tibetan people before. For example, Dolma is quite pure and gentle, how can she be so cold and cold.
"Girl, how old are you?"
Just as I said the words, I suddenly realized something was wrong, and a fiery gaze stared up at me from behind like an eagle's talon. When I turned my head, I saw Tenzin riding on a horse, holding a torch in his hand, glaring at me with a livid face.
It looked particularly gloomy on the mountain road shrouded in darkness.
Logically speaking, the distance between Tenzin and me is at least ten meters away, so it is impossible to hear what Deyang Ram and I are talking about, but looking at his face, it doesn't look like he is simply constipated. "Why does this guy have ears for the wind?"
It won’t work.”
Ren Yonghai, who was on Tenzin's left, also noticed his venomous expression, so he tugged on the mule's ears and shook his head at me: "In the wild mountains and wild mountains, it's better not to mention flirting."
I almost died from vomiting blood, but I had no choice but to go ahead and ask Uncle Ciwang how he planned to fly across the Immortal Peak.
I walked forward quickly, avoiding the eyes that were staring at me behind me. I don’t know why, but since I went up the mountain road, I always feel uncomfortable. I always feel that something is staring at us. But there are only trees on this mountain.
It's just a rock. It's high and steep, and it doesn't look like a place to hide someone. I secretly warned myself not to think wildly, because scaring people will cause trouble.
When we set off from Shuizhai, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. Three or four hours passed as we walked all the way, and no one in the team said they were tired and stopped. Even Xu Yaxian gritted her teeth and followed the caravan.
March.
The road under our feet became narrower and narrower. Although there were torches and lights to open the way, we still felt uneasy. We must know that there was a cliff within reach of us, and a slight stagger under our feet would end up being shattered to pieces.
Because the mountain road could no longer accommodate two people walking side by side, I had no choice but to look at the back of Uncle Ciwang’s head and talk to him.
"Hahahahaha, you ask how to fly across the Immortal Peak in one night?" Uncle Ciwang paused for a moment, turned around and said with a bad smile, "I heard from Dunzhu that you are quite capable. How about it? Can you give me a guess?
Guess?"
"Dunzhu, that's all nonsense. You said I'm not familiar with him. How could he know so much?" I said this, but my heart said, "Uncle, you have a stomachache. If I like to play riddles,
Why should I ask you to torture my eyes? It would be better for me to find a mule than your black face."
"Although that boy Dunzhu is cunning, he still has a good eye for people."
"Then I don't dare to put a high hat on myself."
"Take a guess."
"This...I guess it must contain the crystallization of wisdom and sweat. It is a secret skill inherited from the ancestors. It can fully reflect the courage and courage of the caravan. Right?"
"How can you, a child like you, be the same as what you said on the radio?" Uncle Ciwang said disdainfully, "I have been going around for a long time, but I can't tell the truth. This is the behavior of people in the city."
"Yes, yes, what you taught me is," I put away my smile and thought for a moment, "people can't grow wings, let alone cargo horses. There should be a cable car or something like that on this mountain, and you can go down with the wind.
