Boss Bai was a little flattered because of Cheng Zhan's initiative.
Although they had not been in contact for long, he could tell that Cheng Zhan had an indifferent temperament and rarely spoke. Si Ye, on the other hand, often acted as his mouthpiece, was bright and lively, and was good at dealing with people.
Boss Bai sat down, and Cheng Zhan moved him again and took the initiative to pour him tea. But at the same time, he was beating a drum in his heart, what are they talking about?
Talk about the branches of the mountains.
This time, Cheng Zhan had a mouthful of his own and did not use Si Ye as his mouth substitute. First, he told the "rumors" he and Si Ye heard when they were walking outside, and then asked Boss Bai——
"I wonder if you've heard anything weird at the inn recently?"
Jianshan Inn is not small, so it can accommodate a lot of tourists. Anyone who can come here is rushing to Haba Snow Mountain, so they might hear something about it.
Hearing this, Brother Bai seemed to be thinking, "What a weird thing..."
Si Ye was observing Boss Bai's reaction from the sidelines and thought about it. Looking at this posture, he might actually be able to ask something.
Boss Bai really thought about it for a long time before saying, "It seems that I really listened to it."
It was a few days ago. There were not as many tourists that day as there are now. There were only a few tables for breakfast. When Boss Bai was giving milk to one of the tables, he heard a sentence——
"It seems to be near the base camp."
Boss Bai even asked at that time what was going on at the base camp.
What he was thinking was that nothing would happen, because the weather was bad at that time, and if something happened and it made the news, it might affect the customer base.
The person at the table did not avoid the topic and told him, "I heard from a teammate that he seemed to hear someone crying when he was climbing. It should be near the base camp."
Just one sentence.
No one knew the specific situation, including the man’s teammates. According to his teammates, he got up very early that day and went out to get some fresh air. It was not even dark at the time, so he heard someone crying.
The crying wasn't very obvious, it was faint, as if coming from a distance. He didn't even react when he was called back by another teammate who was getting up.
After that, the teammate didn't take it seriously. He climbed all the way up and then down the mountain again. It was only when he returned to the inn to sort out his thoughts that he remembered the crying again.
Boss Bai said that this was all the customer said at the time, and it was also someone else’s experience, and there was no follow-up afterwards, so I didn’t take it easy.
Thinking about it, it’s not a big deal if someone cries. Life is short and everyone’s experiences are different. Who hasn’t had a sad past? It must be someone in the same group who was in a bad mood and went to cry somewhere else.
After saying this, Boss Bai looked at the two of them and said, "Although it's not as scary as what you heard, I think that road is really not easy to walk, and no one has stepped on it, so there may be some danger."
Maybe he felt that he was talking too much, so he added with a smile, "Of course, you two are experts, and your abilities must be something that others don't have."
Cheng Zhan did not respond to Boss Bai's compliment, but instead asked him when he heard that incident. Boss Bai recalled it carefully and told the time.
Cheng Zhan didn't say much when he heard this and just nodded slightly. When Si Ye heard that time period, his heart moved slightly.
…
The next day, before dawn, Si Ye and Cheng Zhan got up.
According to the agreed time, the guide also arrived. Instead of entering the inn, he squatted outside and smoked a cigarette.
Unexpectedly, Boss Bai got up early and prepared breakfast for them, which made both of them feel embarrassed. Boss Bai said with a smile that it was fate that we met each other on the road. He also explained to the guide that they should do whatever they wanted.
Pay attention to safety no matter what.
After this outing experience, Si Ye found that people on the road like to say that acquaintance is fate, but think about it, is this not the case for all kinds of encounters in life? Everything depends on fate, and you should not force things to happen.
.
Yeah?
In fact, he often thinks about this issue, like the fate between himself and this body bone, and he met by chance, so his original fate merged with the fate of the previous owner of this body bone.
Before leaving, Si Ye secretly stuffed a sum of money into a drawer at the front desk. This was what he and Cheng Zhan had agreed upon. Although they were friends of Laoguan, they were open for business, so it was not easy to get away with it.
Drinking and buying supplies.
In this way, the group of three people set off from the inn and continued walking along the forest road.
On the road from the village to the base camp, Si Ye and Cheng Zhan chose to hike. Through the guide, they learned that they had to walk nearly 8,000 meters and climb more than 1,400 meters.
The further you go up, the higher the altitude becomes.
The guide was a Naxi young man, similar in age to Si Ye and Cheng Zhan, also in his early twenties. He loved to laugh very much and was quite shy when we first met. After walking together for about ten minutes, we became familiar with each other and liked to chat.
The young man’s surname is He, so Si Ye and Cheng Zhan can just call him Tutuo. Si Ye didn’t react at first, his first thought was a lump of Xiang Tuo, and he also thought that this hobby is quite unique, so he gave it such a nickname.
Tutu is very strong and can help tourists carry things like a camel. More importantly, he is very familiar with Haba Snow Mountain. It is very safe with him, just like meeting a camel in the desert.
Tuotuo said that this was the nickname given to him by everyone, and that his own name was too uncommon for them to remember. The three of them chatted while entering the mountain, especially Si Ye, who was very talkative, and even chatted with Tuotuo about Dongba.
Chinese characters, Dongba Sutra, Naxi dance, etc.
Tuotuo spoke fluent Chinese and was quite honest. He told Siye and the others that even though he was from the Naxi ethnic group, he didn’t even know the Dongba script. Not only him, but also younger generations like him.
Most of them don’t know their own language very well.
Basically everyone can recognize Chinese characters and speak Chinese, and only the very old generation still retains the tradition of the Naxi people.
As for dancing, Tuotuo knew how to dance, and showed a section to Si Ye and Cheng Zhan, saying that in Lijiang, people there dance almost every day.
On the way up, Si Ye and Cheng Zhan also met the people who had tea together yesterday. Everyone greeted them warmly. However, they were surprised when they found that they had found another guide. Since they were climbing a snow mountain,
Why didn't you go with the big team?
Si Ye laughed and said, "My brother is weak and can't actually climb the snow-capped mountains, so we wandered around in the mountains and withdrew when we reached the base camp."
After hearing this, several people nodded in realization, and then went to look at Cheng Zhan, thinking that he was quite good-looking, but not very useful.
Cheng Zhan didn't say anything, he just glanced at Si Ye and continued on his way.
Later, Tutuo was curious and asked Si Ye in a low voice, "I think you two can climb mountains. Why don't you try climbing a snow-capped mountain? You see, neither of you have high reflexes."
Si Ye also found it strange that there is no such thing as altitude sickness. Haba Snow Mountain has a certain altitude. Although it is not that exaggerated, many people will prepare in advance on the way to prevent altitude sickness.
But Si Ye couldn't feel anything, and looking at Cheng Zhan, it didn't seem like he had a high reflex.
Si Ye said, "As for me, my physical fitness is absolutely fine. My brother's lung capacity is small, so it's normal that he doesn't have high reflexes. I don't need to go to the snow mountain. My brother is actually not interested."
No matter what he said, he never forgot to step on Cheng Zhan.
In this regard, Cheng Zhan still said nothing and allowed Si Ye to trample on him.
Tutuo was the guide found by Boss Bai. He told Si Ye and Cheng Zhan that he helped find the most professional guide who could take them into the mountain.
But the places Tutuo can go are all places that have been traveled by people in the snow-capped mountains, and he will never take the path that no one has taken. In terms of reverence and belief in nature, he is very similar to the older generations here, so he just says that he doesn’t.
The path a person takes is one that God will not allow him to take. If he leaves, it would be disrespectful to God and he will be punished by the gods.
In other words, Tutuo can only send them to the base camp. If they want to climb the snow-capped mountains, he can also be the team leader, but he will not go to the side branches of the mountains.
Cheng Zhan and Si Ye didn't have any objections to this. Originally, they didn't want to use a guide, but Boss Bai insisted that there was nothing they could do. They couldn't follow them into the side branch, because if they were really in danger, wouldn't it be harmful to others?
However, when Tuotuo mentioned the word "god", Cheng Zhan's eyes dimmed, and Si Ye also sighed in his heart: It's okay to have punishment, at least it proves that there are still living gods.
Tutuo has a heart of a neighborhood committee, and persuaded them from time to time along the way, "I think there is no need to join the side branch. Although I know you two want to go, it is not convenient for me to ask you what exactly you want to do, but if you just transfer
There are other more fun places to visit. If you want to go, I will take you there now."
Cheng Zhan didn't respond much to Tuotuo's advice. Si Ye acted as Cheng Zhan's mouth again and sighed with Tuotuo, "No way, my brother likes it."
Later, after Tutuo persuaded him for the third time, Si Ye had nothing to say, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Keep walking."
At such a young age, I am really worried.
But then I thought about it, it was quite touching to meet such a person who cares about your safety by chance.
In this way, the three of them arrived at the base camp. They took a break and had fun along the way, which saved them a lot of time. For this reason, Tutuo didn't understand them. They just walked around and didn't even look at the scenery along the way.
Yes, those streams and forests are so beautiful, and the azaleas are in full bloom. Whoever goes there needs to take a few photos as a souvenir?
The two of them reached the base camp in one breath without stopping almost.
The base camp is in an open space and is well organized. Some people who arrived early are already cooking and eating at the base camp.
Cheng Zhan did not put down his backpack, but walked around the base camp to check the surrounding situation. Si Ye took some money out of his pocket and gave it to Tutuo, thanking him for leading the way.
Tutuo waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother Bai has given me money, I can't get two copies of the money."
"Take it, just take it as a tip." Si Ye put the money into his pocket, "You also told us a lot of interesting things along the way. Thank you very much."
Tuotuo felt embarrassed, but finally accepted it and left his phone number with Si Ye, asking him to contact him again when he needed a guide in the future.
The young man is quite business-minded.
After sending Tutuo away, Si Ye briefly greeted the people at the base camp and walked to Cheng Zhan, "Just follow the road in front of you, right?"
