World Tibet Bureau

Early the next morning.

When I saw Li Poshan and others with red and swollen eyes and dejection, I really wanted to laugh.

You can't say they are mentally retarded.

The only one to blame was that Zheng Tian had seen Artai's mutation with his own eyes, which was extremely terrifying, while Fatty Xiao's sudden improvement was too bizarre.

Under strong psychological pressure and a strong desire for survival, they had to adopt detoxification methods that would rather believe what they have than what they don't have.

After breakfast.

The team packed up their equipment and set off again. Half a day later, they arrived at the previous climbing spot.

Hao An took the equipment and went up first to explore.

He came down in half an hour.

"There's enough snow! Come here and help me build a ladder. I'm going to drive snow nails!"

Li Poshan followed with his people.

Things went very smoothly.

In just two hours, all the snow drilling nails were set up, and a long lifeline was pulled down the snow slope.

Nozawa Nako looked excited: "Go up the mountain!"

Everyone started to hold on to the rope and slowly climbed up the mountain.

The weather in the snow-capped mountains today is very good and the sun is shining brightly. A group of teams lined up along the rope in the sun and went up in order.

There were no surprises along the way.

It took us three hours to reach the summit successfully.

Landuo Snow Mountain.

We are finally here!

The top of the snow mountain is covered with vast snow, which is very open and looks like a white grassland, stretching as far as the eye can see.

What needs to be determined now is the location of the Witch's Nest.

The Witch's Nest has three characteristics: salt, herbs, and the legacy of witch culture.

In other words.

According to the preset plan, we will find the place where these three elements are integrated on the top of this vast snow mountain, and finally explore the specific location of the ancient tombs in the Western Regions.

Qubi's notes at that time only recorded that the ancient tombs of the Western Regions were in this area, but the specific location is unclear because he was a tea horse merchant. We now rely on human geology experts and Professor Yuan.

Nozawa Nako said: "Professor, please take care of the rest!"

Professor He Yuan glanced at the vast snow-capped mountain tops, pushed up his glasses, and said confidently: "It doesn't matter! I need at most two days!"

When Nozawa Nako heard this, her face showed joy: "Trouble!"

Hao An said: "Miss Nozawa, the next thing is not mine. I need a place to camp and rest."

Nozawa Nako said: "Okay. Let's find a place to camp first. After settling in, we will accompany the professor to find the ancient tomb."

Hao An led everyone to find a valley where the snow was not thick and some exposed stones could be seen, which served as the base camp for the search for ancient tombs in the Western Regions.

After settling in.

Everyone had a meal.

He Yuan was impatient and immediately went to look for it.

Hao An lay in the tent and slept.

We didn’t want to go either, so we just stayed in the tent and refused to leave.

But Nozawa Nako asked Li Poshan to take the people and press me to search together. She didn't care about Fatty Xiao and Xiaozhu.

I said, "You don't have to offend me, do you? I'm still infected with the medicine you gave me, so I don't dare to run away."

Nozawa Nako said: "Susan, your wisdom and experience will be of great help to us in finding the ancient tomb. Please accompany us to find it."

Without any choice.

I had to go with them.

He Yuan's first goal is to find the salt spring well.

Although he is old, he is quite nimble in his movements. He often crawls around in the hills, and after pinpointing the position, he asks Li Poshan and others to shovel down. After shoveling the soil, he tasted it with his mouth first, then took out a chemical test tube, shook the suspicious soil in the test tube, and watched the changes in the liquid inside.

It took a whole day to find it.

Nothing gained.

Li Poshan and others drilled dozens of holes, and their eyes turned white from exhaustion.

Every time they were digging holes, I would watch from the side with a cigarette in my mouth, shouting cheers for them, and complaining from time to time that they were hitting crookedly, not using enough force, or not concentrating.

Finally, they got really annoyed and picked up a shovel and tried to beat me to death.

I was too lazy to care about these crazy people, so I ran away, stood on the top of the mountain, and sang into the wind: "You descendants of the mountains, love the sun, the sun loves you, people in the mountains..."

When Nako Nozawa saw me, she felt depressed, angry and helpless.

at dusk.

He Yuan still hasn't found the salt well.

Everyone went back home.

on the way.

Nako Nozawa asked me: "Susan, what do you think the problem is?"

I asked back: "You ask me?"

Nozawa Nako nodded: "Yes! The professor just said that judging from the soil composition in this area, there is a high probability that there is no salt spring below."

I replied: "As long as you have good skills, well water can flow everywhere! Don't blame the manhole for not being able to poop!"

After hearing this, Professor He Yuan turned around and pushed up his glasses: "Are you saying that my skills are not good?"

I replied: "Congratulations on the correct answer!"

Professor He Yuan argued: "I adopt the most scientific geological exploration method. If there are any mistakes, please point them out!"

I patted his shoulder: "I'm just kidding you, don't take it seriously."

"If we can't find the salt spring, we'll look for the remains of the witch culture tomorrow. If we can't find the remains of the witch culture, let's look for Baicao again. If we can't find anything, we'll go back to school and learn the skills before coming back."

Back to camp.

Fatty Xiao asked me: "Have you found it?"

I replied: "What the hell!"

Fatty Xiao asked: "Isn't the record in Qubi's notebook near here? How come I can't find it?"

I said nothing.

Nothing happened that night.

Early the next morning.

Nako Nozawa came to urge me to get up, saying that today I was going to look for relics of witchcraft culture.

I frowned and asked, "How can I find cultural relics?"

Nozawa Nako said: "The professor said he has a way."

I said, "Okay! Wait for me to clean up."

Nozawa Nako asked: "Is there anything you need to clean up?"

I said, "I wet the bed last night and want to change into a pair of underwear. Do you want to see them?"

Nozawa Nako looked speechless and turned to leave.

I asked Fatty Xiao: "Where are the tiles?"

Fatty Xiao handed me the tile.

I stuffed the tiles into my snow boots: “You’re going according to plan!”

Fatty Xiao nodded.

I got out of the tent.

He followed them towards the snow-capped mountains with big strides. (End of chapter)
