World Tibet Bureau

Chapter 1290 Beast Mouth

There was no words to say that night.

Early the next morning.

Everyone endured hunger and continued to search with President Liu.

Chairman Liu still held the fan and clasped his hands behind his back, taking us around slowly and leisurely. Sometimes he would climb up to a high place and look out, sometimes he would bend down and dig up the snow to taste some soil, and sometimes he would even put his ear against the snow. Pile on.

He murmured to himself from time to time, "Three oxen to the horse ridge, no nobleman comes out of the salt well", "Two streams sandwich a branch, eighteen packets day and night", "Wells near rivers have abundant but light water. In the mountains The well, the water is sparse and salty" and other weird words.

As for what it means.

We couldn’t understand him either, and we couldn’t disturb him.

That's how I found it until noon.

We were almost dizzy from hunger, so we all sat in the snow to rest.

Xia Xi and I each held a cigarette and smoked silently, not wanting to say a word.

Hao An began to worry: "Old Liu, a person can survive seven or eight days with water and food. Now we have passed three days and can't find it anymore. We have to find a way to get down, otherwise we will definitely starve to death on the mountain."

President Liu closed his eyes and fanned himself without replying. It was not clear what he was meditating on.

After a while.

This guy suddenly slapped his thigh, opened his eyes, and asked Hao An: "Brother Hao, did we see snow mountain soil egg fleas just now?"

Hao An replied: "Yes! Soil fleas are everywhere. They are too small to be eaten, just like fleas."

President Liu said: "Who said we should eat them! Didn't you notice that their skin color is different from the ones at the foot of the mountain?"

Hao An thought for a while: "It seems a little different. It's brown and black at the bottom of the mountain...it's light red here."

President Liu was so excited that he stood up from the ground and greeted us: "Follow me!"

He started running towards the place where he had found the fleas.

After getting there.

President Liu told us: "Guys, dig down!"

I said nothing.

President Liu rolled his eyes when he saw this: "I forgot, you are the leader of this team now, I'd better do it myself."

After finishing speaking.

He tucked his fan into his trousers and asked Hao An and Xia Xi to accompany him in digging the snow.

After digging for a while with the only tools left in Hao An's bag, it was about one meter deep. The color of the frozen soil below began to change, and it turned out to be a light red.

When President Liu saw this, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "I found it! This is a mineral vein, and there should be a red salt mine below! No wonder all the methods I tried before were useless!"

Xia Xi picked up the soil and tasted it: "This is not salty either."

Chairman Liu said: "Salt spring wells on land are all brine. You can get salt by diluting it, not salt growing on the ground. What's more, this is just a mineral vein, not a serious salt spring location... Ignore it and follow me." Come!"

He started to run away in the east direction.

Looking at this look, it was obvious that he had made various inferences before and determined a direction, but maybe after verification, he felt that the inference was wrong and gave up. However, after discovering the red salt vein this time, he further demonstrated his previous point of view, so There was no need to look any further, he had completely determined the location.

We ran after him.

Rest while rushing.

An hour later.

We turned out of this gentle snowy slope and walked down for about six or seven hundred meters. We turned a big corner and came to an undulating place. The surrounding snow slopes seemed to be dotted with hundreds of yurts, large and small. .

If not for Chairman Liu to lead the way. There is no way we can find this place.

And between these Mongolian snow packs, there is a glacier bed. It is not wide, about ten meters, and the ice surface is hard.

President Liu borrowed Hao An's small hammer and knocked it on the ice a few times, and some broken ice appeared.

He picked up a few pieces and gave each of us a piece like giving out candies to children: "Come! Come and taste it and see what it tastes like."

I put it in my mouth and tasted it.

The crushed ice melted in the mouth and eventually turned into a mouthful of juice, which had a light salty taste, like soup without much salt.

We looked at each other.

Chairman Liu shook his fan in amusement, pointed around and said: "This land of snowy yurts is the core area of ​​the salt springs of Landuo Snow Mountain! According to the records in Qubi's notes, more than ten miles to the west is the location of the cave. ! Everyone, did I brag?"

I admired him from the bottom of my heart and gave him a thumbs up: "Big Boss Liu, I won't even stand up to you, so I will obey you."

The walking encyclopedia is indeed not covered.

No wonder he can resonate with Dr. Fu on the same frequency.

Professor He Yuan, who claims to be a top expert on human geology and environment, pales in comparison to Old Liu.

Xia Xi said: "That's nothing to talk about! Let's leave quickly, we can't catch the No. 2 bus so fast!"

President Liu took us quickly to the west.

On the way I finally figured out the general terrain.

The top of Landuo Snow Mountain is very flat, like a large hanging pot lid, and the yurt we are currently in is under the pot lid.

This trip went very smoothly.

An hour later.

We came to the cave.

A shocking scene appeared in front of everyone.

The cave is like a huge beast's mouth. The protruding rocks around it are covered with hard, slender and crystal clear ice. It seems that the beast's mouth is full of teeth. Under the slanting sunlight, it shines brightly. Bu Ling's light is very beautiful, but also looks ferocious and terrifying.

I said: "Go in!"

There was high snow at the entrance to the beast's mouth, and everyone began to climb.

Xiaozhu's figure was the most vigorous, and he went up with a few flicks of his ponytail.

Then we went up quickly.

The funniest one is Xia Xi.

This guy was probably afraid of falling. He climbed up tremblingly, often missing his steps. He climbed up and slid down, his face pale and his calves trembling.

I had no choice but to go down and pull him back: "Not even as good as Cen Yin! I have never seen such a useless person!"

Xia Xi said: "Fuck you uncle! Everyone has their own weaknesses, why are you laughing at me?!"

Everyone climbed up the snowdrift, followed down, and carefully entered the cave.

How do you feel after entering?

abyss!
