After hearing this, Bai Ze smiled and said, "Well, I'm glad you've worked hard for this trip to the mountain. I'm also aware of the situation on Kalabog Peak. We'll pay for the guide's expenses, so we can give you more as appropriate."

Upon hearing this, Wu Hui waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Lagun is my friend. He has been grazing under the snow line of Kalabog Peak all year round, so it is easy to take us to 5123."

Song Jiang on the side asked in confusion, "Isn't it said that Kalabog Peak is the sacred mountain in the hearts of local people? How come there are still people who dare to graze on it?!"

Wu Hui smiled after hearing this and said, "Because the locals believe that the green grass on the snow-capped mountains is a gift from the mountain god. Of course, not everyone can go there to graze. Only those who truly fear the mountain god will be blessed by the mountain god. His cattle and sheep

Otherwise, if his cattle and sheep eat a bite of the grass on Kalabog Peak, they will die of intestinal tract rupture."

When Song Jiang heard this, he muttered in a low voice, "Who are these cattle and sheep offending!?"

Bai Ze then reminded him with a smile, "Xiao Song, although the folk customs here in Gatang are simple, there are still many taboos. If you encounter something you don't understand, you can always ask me."

The boy wearing glasses before was named Tang Zheng, and he was the leader of the 7-member group. He might have thought this was a good opportunity to flatter Song Jiang, so he smiled and said to Song Jiang, "Professor Bai is not only an environmental expert, he also has expertise in folklore and natural history."

His attainments are also very high.”

Bai Ze was obviously very pleased with this, and he smiled and said, "It's just that I live longer than you. Knowledge still needs to be slowly accumulated over many years to be solid."

Others may think that Professor Bai is being modest, but Song Jiang and Meng Zhe know that what he tells is the truth. Who can live for thousands of years and still not become an expert in one or two fields?!

The group first rested for a day in Gatang, and then met up with the local herdsman guide Lagong early the next morning, and headed to Karabog Peak. Song Jiang originally thought that Lagong should be a middle-aged uncle, but it turned out that he met him

It was discovered that the other party turned out to be a burly young man with long hair above his ears.

The other party first gave Wu Hui a very warm hug, but when he saw Song Jiang and others, his expression changed slightly, but then he returned to normal and said, "Hello, my friends who have come from afar!

"

When Bai Ze saw him, he greeted him enthusiastically and helped Lagon introduce Song Jiang, Meng Zhe, and his own students one by one.

The arrogant girl from before was called Shen Wenwen. She seemed to be particularly interested in Lagon. She was the first to greet him and said, "Hello, brother Lagon, my name is Shen Wenwen!"

After hearing this, Lagun smiled and said, "The lark from the city is really charming, but I wonder if it can be blown away by the cold wind of Kalabog Peak?!"

When Shen Wenwen heard Lagon calling herself a lark, she immediately blushed slightly, and her shy look made Song Jiang's gums a little sour, so he whispered to Meng Zhe, "I didn't expect that Lagon would treat the little girl so much."

Quite enthusiastic?!"

After hearing this, Meng Zhe whispered a few words into Song Jiang's ear. After hearing this, he looked at La Gong again, the teasing expression no longer in his eyes.

After Bai Ze introduced everyone, the group of them was ready to set off, but Lagon told them at this time that the car could only drive to the foot of Kalabog Peak because there was no road for cars to go up there.

Song Jiang and Meng Zhe had long been mentally prepared for walking the entire journey, but the faces of Bai Ze and the two female students were a bit unsightly.

At this time, I heard Tang Zheng say to the two of them, "You should overcome it. I gave you vaccinations when you signed up. The environment on Kalabog Peak is very harsh. You need to prepare yourself mentally before signing up! Since now

When everyone comes here, they should not be afraid of difficulties and move forward courageously!"

After hearing what Tang Zheng said, Bai Ze said in a stern tone, "Xiao Tang is right. To engage in scientific research, you must have a fearless heart. Otherwise, you will quit the research group as soon as possible to avoid suffering more in the future.

"

Seeing that the two little girls were about to cry, Lagon quickly smiled and smoothed things over and said, "Don't worry too much, everyone. Although cars on those mountain roads can't go up, I believe that as long as my cattle and sheep can go up, the two girls can go up."

Even a little girl from the city can go up there!"

Song Jiang was also a good-natured man, and he didn't want to see the little girl embarrassed, so he smiled and agreed, "That's right, I believe what Brother Lagon said, since his cattle and sheep can walk, then so can the larks in our city.

Can walk."

It turns out that the roads they took after entering the mountains were indeed "small paths". Lagon's cattle and sheep walked in the front, and he led everyone behind. The cattle and sheep ate while walking, but the people behind them had to eat.

Follow their rhythm

The weather is just right now, the temperature is neither too hot nor too cold, the breeze is blowing slowly on everyone, and the herds of cattle and sheep in front of them are running back and forth wantonly, which really makes Song Jiang feel a little free and easy as a shepherd.

At this time, several round stone piles appeared in front of them. Lagun saw them and explained to everyone while walking, "These are Mani piles, which are usually used by local people to pray for blessings and ward off evil spirits, so the stones on them cannot be used."

What you take down can only be stacked up.”

After hearing this, Shen Wenwen and another girl named Zhao Jia asked Lagong if they could also put a stone on it?!

After hearing this, Lagon smiled and said, "Of course, you can find a smaller stone on the ground, make a wish sincerely, and finally put the small stone on it."

As soon as the two little girls heard this, they immediately happily went to look for their own little stones. The remaining boys also went over to help look for them, but Song Jiang was not very interested in it. Instead, he looked up at half

There is a snow line on the mountainside, and I worry that walking to that location may not be as pleasant as it is now.

Meng Zhe saw Song Jiang's thoughts and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's only about three thousand meters at most. The equipment we bring is more than enough to climb Mount Everest."

After Shen Wenwen and the others made their wishes, everyone followed the cattle and sheep and continued walking forward. Maybe it was because this place was inaccessible. They also saw a lot of wild animals and plants along the way. When Bai Ze saw it, he let a few of his

The students quickly took photos and records, after all, this was the purpose of their trip.

Facts have proved that Song Jiang's worries were not unnecessary. Just after the group of people crossed the snow line, the road under their feet became rugged and difficult to walk, and they lost the smoothness they had during the outing.
