Lao Shao squirted wildly at the translator, and he stretched out his hands, counting one finger and the other. Of course, he continued to shake his head, and it shook even harder.

The translator looked at Zhang Jianwen with a embarrassed expression.

"You can just follow it!"

"He said, let you spit out all the raisins, dried apricots, badanmu, honey, jerky lamb, baked naan, and vodka..."

"We have to settle the score, right? We don't live together, right?" Zhang Jianwen yelled at Lao Shao. After a while, the two big men started arguing with each other's clothes.

Compared to the two captains with a hot temper, the boundary surveying team members on both sides are much calmer.

In fact, they were scared at first, but later the two captains quarreled almost every day, and they were tearing each other thickly during the day, but they were used to it when they drank at night.

Lin Shan found a stone to sit down. Usually, the two captains would only have a solution after arguing.

The wind was strong there, but the sky was always blue. Lin Shan sat on the top of the mountain and looked at the Mustalagh Mountain in the distance. At this time, a girl came over.

The girl's name is Dahmina, and everyone in the team calls her "Mina". Mina was twenty-six years old and studied in Xi'an. She studied surveying and mapping engineering. She also speaks Chinese, so she was recruited into the Taji Border Investigation Team.

"Do you want to go home?" Mina asked him with a smile.

Lin Shan shook her head. They had been out for three and a half months, and Mina's face was as dark as he was sunburned, but when she bent down to sit beside him, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the white skin in Mina's collar.

Tajik girls usually wear headscarves, but boundary surveying is a special job, so Mina usually only wears a sun protection hat. Almost all team members wear this hat because the ultraviolet rays on the Pamir Plateau are too strong.

She pointed to the controversial unknown mountain and smiled and said, "Look, there is green in that valley, and there should be water."

The Sarekole Mountain is located in the hinterland of Central Asia, and the water source is basically based on the snow water melted by icebergs, so most areas are dry Gobi mountainous areas. The peaks Lin Shan and the others climbed over are all grass without any wetness in the wind. He felt that his lips had been peeled off twice.

Therefore, the team members always like to look at the Mustragic iceberg from afar, just like Cao Mengde of the Three Kingdoms period quenched his thirst.

"If you keep quarreling like this, it's delayed again today." Mina sighed.

"Anyway, it's going to happen again overnight. Before I came, my superior said that I don't care about the progress, but I must not make mistakes."

"Then what do you say is right and what is wrong?" Mina asked.

"Right is right, wrong is wrong." Lin Shan replied.

"So, is this unknown mountain in front of you a higher or shorter?"

"High means height, short means short. Where is the right or wrong place for height?"

"There is no right or wrong in height, but there is no right or wrong in the hearts of different people." Mina said again.

"Since that's the case, then let's send two people to measure it?" Lin Shan slapped his thigh.

The two captains were looking for scattered hats and gloves on the hillside, listening to Lin Shan and Mina's suggestions.

"This method is right. The mountain is empty first. Let's go ahead and survey the next boundary stake. Who do you go to measure the altitude of that mountain on the spot?"

"Finish!" Lao Shao said another Chinese sentence.

"However, there are many mountains and deep mountains. After you finish mapping, you will immediately return here according to the original route, and then move forward along the original planned road. We will meet at the next landmark." Zhang Jianwen said.

"Fortunately, there are all barren mountains here, the slope is quite gentle, and the vision is quite wide. You can bring your equipment and don't get lost." Lao Shao also reminded.

"Bring the satellite phone." Zhang Jianwen gave them the only two satellite phones in the team. He looked ahead and seemed to be estimating the distance. "In ten days, we will see you next landmark."

In this way, Lin Shan and Mina separated from their teammates. They carried their equipment and went down the mountain from Highland No. 3203 toward the east, heading towards the nameless peak.

This is the mountain. It looks close to you and is far away from the horizon when you walk. Fortunately, the hillside is gentle and you don’t use rock climbing equipment, but even so, it took the two of them a day and a half to get from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley.

Because it was summer, the two of them were afraid of sudden mountain torrents, so they did not set up tents at the bottom of the valley, but chose to camp on a high ground on the hillside here.

The Pamir Plateau is still cold on summer nights. The two of them set up a bonfire at night, put canned beef and dried vegetables in, put the seasoning bags, and put the instant noodles in the pot. After a while, the fragrant smell spread throughout the valley.

Lin Shan felt his stomach rumbling, so he quickly picked out the noodles and put them in two bowls.

"Wait!" Dahmina remembered something. She returned to the tent and took out two bottles of Coke from her backpack.

"Just two bottles from your captain, save some drinks," she said.

Lin Shan was so excited that he hadn't drunk a sweet drink for a long time.

There was no wind this night, the moon was shining, and Lin Shan and Dahmina were lying in the sleeping bag of the tent and chatting a lot, then they fell asleep.

The night on the plateau is very quiet, with only the sound of air flowing through the valley for a long time. In addition, there are occasional inexplicable echoes in the valley. This echo sometimes looks like rumbling thunder, and sometimes like a clattering sound.

When he first came to the boundary survey team, Lin Shan was very sensitive to the quiet night sound. Every time he was awakened by this strange sound late at night, he sat up, nervously opened the tent, and looked around. But as long as he looked outside, he would find that there was only the empty mountain wind outside, except for yellow sand and stones.

"What's going on with this sound?" He couldn't help but ask Zhang Jianwen once.

Zhang Jianwen looked at him and said, "This is the voice of the earth."

"The earth?"

"Yes, it looks like Tongshan is clean, but in fact it was still a sea a long time ago, it was the ancient Mediterranean Sea.

"Later, the Indian plate crashed into the Asian plate, and it grew up at a rate of seven centimeters a year. After hundreds of millions of years, it finally grew to what it is now, but in fact it did not stop and it still grew every year.

"So it is possible that a certain mountain here is a little taller or shorter after some years," Zhang Jianwen explained.

"However, the geological age is too long, and our human life span is only a moment. Since it is a moment, we must do our present things well. As for the afterlife, our descendants will naturally handle it better than us." He said.

He was right. Maybe deep in the earth's crust, the two major sectors are playing and fighting every day. Perhaps the "earth sound" we hear may be really the sound of the collision and growth of the earth's crust.

But on the night of camping on the hillside, Lin Shan was suddenly awakened by a sound around the tent again.
