Chapter 180: The Mountain Entry Incident Eighteen Years Ago
Yima took Feng Yu and the two of them outside the yurt. This must be a family of nomadic herdsmen. There were three big yellow dogs and two giant mastiff dogs outside. When they saw a stranger coming, they seemed extremely excited and kept barking.
Except, there was indeed a small group of alpacas behind the yurt, the kind with horns on their heads. Zhang Xiuxian pointed it out to Feng Yu to show that what he said was correct.
Ima shouted in Mongolian outside, as if she was calling him "Ama". The pronunciation of "Mom" is the same all over the world, so it was not difficult for Feng Yu to hear it.
A middle-aged woman with brown skin came out of the yurt, dressed in a nomadic outfit, a typical blend of Mongolian and Soviet styles. The middle-aged woman was very polite when she saw outsiders coming. Like Ima, she said to Feng Yu and Zhang Xiuxian
Two sentences in Mongolian.
Zhang Xiuxian smiled and responded. The mother and son exchanged a few words in Mongolian. Feng Yu couldn't understand, but the middle-aged woman still welcomed the two into the yurt and poured them hot butter tea to ward off the cold.
The middle-aged woman asked the two of them in Chinese with a Mongolian flavor: "Where are you from?"
Zhang Xiuxian drank a hot drink and replied: "Oh, don't talk about sister. The two brothers wanted to go around Manzhouli, but they didn't want to get lost halfway. The yak they were riding also ran away, and they were spinning around in the Gobi Desert.
It's been almost half the night, but fortunately I met your son, otherwise I would have died in the Gobi desert."
The middle-aged woman nodded, "Oh, that's it. You can call me Gina. We are herdsmen here. We are not afraid of getting lost in the desert. Fortunately, you are here. If you were in the Xing'an Mountains in the north,
You won't be so lucky, so you should warm yourself up by the fire first, and wait until tomorrow and let Ima take you out here."
Zhang Xiuxian took the opportunity to inquire: "Let me tell you, Sister Gina, the Gobi desert is so desolate, how can you graze here? Is the green grassland unable to accommodate you or what?"
The middle-aged woman's eyes were sad and she couldn't say anything. She had no intention of saying anything. It was the first time she met Feng Yu and there was no need to say anything.
Seeing that no one said anything, Zhang Xiuxian asked again: "I heard that there is an old sheepherder in this desert? Is there anyone else besides you? Hey, where is your man? Isn't he back by this time?"
At this time, Yima came in from outside after feeding the livestock. He ate the candy Feng Yu gave him, with a very happy face, and praised the taste of the candy to his mother.
In order to thank the two of them, the middle-aged woman asked Ima to get the hung dried meat.
Jina said: "The child's father went to the Greater Khingan Mountains in the north and failed to come back. We are the only herdsmen here. The old sheepherder you mentioned is my father, the child's grandfather."
This news made Feng Yu and Zhang Xiuxian feel very amused. It seemed that the hotel proprietress was right, Zhang Manyue had indeed been here, and the old sheepherder was Sister Jina's father.
Feng Yu asked: "Sister, I want to ask you about someone. Did anyone come to see you half a month ago?"
Ima came in from outside with dried meat. Sister Gina put the bacon on the fire to grill. Ima sat on the side and listened to the conversation of several people.
"Who are you? How do you know this?"
Zhang Xiuxian revealed her secrets and said frankly: "Sister, to tell you the truth, we are here just to find someone. If you have anything, just tell us."
Gina seemed a little disbelieving, he
He also has opinions on the origins of the two, "This matter was all done by the old man and I didn't know about it."
Feng Yu saw that the middle-aged woman knew clearly but said nothing, "Sister, that girl is really our friend. She carries a knife with her and is very cold and handsome, right? Just tell me if she has entered
Have you gone to Xing'an Mountains?"
The marinated dried meat made a sizzling sound as it was grilled over the fire. Sister Gina was really good at grilling the meat. She brushed it with a layer of oil and sprinkled it with cumin noodles. The smell was refreshing.
Sister Jina was silent while grilling meat. There was only the sizzling sound of the barbecue in the yurt and the sound of the wind blowing outside.
Zhang Xiuxian did not rush to ask, but took out the food he carried with him, preparing to solve the problem of food and clothing first.
When the meat was almost done, Sister Gina cut the meat for them and placed it on a plate in front of them.
"Look, you two don't have any evil intentions. If you are really with that girl, you should know something."
Feng Yu didn't know what Sister Jina was referring to, so he asked: "Sister, what are you talking about?"
Sister Gina brought a plate of barbecue to Ima and replied: "It happened more than ten years ago. What? You don't know?"
Feng Yu was puzzled, what happened more than ten years ago? More than ten years ago, Feng Yu was only about the same age as Yima, so why did she go to Xing'an Mountains? Could it be that she, Zhang Manyue, went to Xing'an Mountains to steal when she was a teenager?
Fighting?
Zhang Xiuxian was eating the meat and had no intention of asking more questions. Feng Yu went around and said: "Sister, look at my age. I was only a teenager more than ten years ago. What are you talking about about more than ten years? This
I really don’t know, why don’t you tell me?”
Gina sat by the fire, looked at Feng Yu and the two of them up and down, and made some calculations in her mind. Women living on the grassland are actually very strong, and the same goes for Sister Gina. Otherwise, how could she carry them with her?
A child living in a place like this?
"Eighteen years ago, a group of people came to my father and said they wanted to find a place deep in the Greater Khingan Mountains. My father had served as a young soldier on the border of the Daxingan Mountains for more than ten years and was very familiar with the Daxinganling area. Later, on the Snow Mountain
There was an earthquake that destroyed the original outpost, so my father came back and herded sheep in this area for more than ten years."
Zhang Xiuxian interrupted, "That's right, the old sheepherder we are talking about is your father."
Feng Yu asked, "Your father has entered Xing'an Mountains?"
Sister Jina was not anxious at all and continued: "You Han women are different. Eighteen years ago, a woman led a team to enter the Xing'an Mountains. Now, it is still a woman who wants to enter. My father is usually a warm-hearted person.
He is very familiar with this area and often shows people the way. Some caravans got lost in the mountains to the north and couldn't get out for several days and nights. They would call my father's name in the mountains, and my father would listen to it.
Go and bring them out. People often call him "Old Man of the Mountain". Over time, he gets used to calling him "Shan". I remember eighteen years ago, it was because of the name of "Shan" that the gang came to find my father."
Feng Yu guessed that a woman led a team into Xing'an Mountains once eighteen years ago? Who was this woman? Did she also go to find the Immortal King's Palace Tomb?
"Unfortunately at that time, my father caught a cold and lay in bed for half a month. He really had no way to go to Xing'anling, so he asked his father to take the group there. At first, my father was not willing to take them there.
Yes, they want
The place we went to was very dangerous. It was the snow-covered depths of the Greater Khingan Mountains. No one had entered it for hundreds of years. However, the woman who took the lead was willing to pay a lot of money for us to lead the way, saying that they were in a hurry and had to leave immediately. The child’s father wanted to go there.
The money helped them go into the mountains and they never came back."
Sister Jina was a little sad when she said this. She seemed to resent the leading woman for taking her man's life. Therefore, she was very unhappy in her heart that Feng Yu and others came with the same purpose. As for whether they could still give Feng Yu
Yu grilled meat and ate it entirely because Zhang Xiuxian’s candies made Emma happy.
"A few months later, my father went to the snowy mountains of Daxinganling to look for me. He said that based on his father's many years of experience in the snowy mountains, unless there was a natural disaster, there was no way he would not be able to come back. During that time, there were no earthquakes in the snowy mountains.
, there was no continuous blizzard, and people suddenly disappeared.”
Zhang Xiuxian chewed the meat and asked, "Sister, where are those people? They didn't come out either?"
Sister Gina shook her head and sighed, "I don't know."
"Sister, where is the old man named Shan? Didn't your father take that girl into the mountains?"
"The girl who came here half a month ago is very mysterious. I don't know what she said to my father, but my father actually agreed to take her in. Before she left, the girl told me that there would be two more people coming.
, just tell me truthfully where they went."
After talking for a long time, Feng Yu almost thought Sister Jina was a hospitable nomad, and it turned out to be Zhang Manyue's explanation.
Zhang Xiuxian stopped what he was eating and asked seriously: "Sister, after talking for a long time, where did the person go? You should just explain it clearly, brother, I feel upset."
"They set off half a month ago."
"What? He's really gone? Isn't it very dangerous to call him an old man? Why does he, an old man, want to have a thrill before he dies?"
Feng Yu pulled Zhang Xiuxian and asked him to stop talking.
"Sister, didn't you say anything else?"
"Oh, she said she would wait for you at Dadauniang Mountain in the north."
Feng Yu really convinced Sister Jina. She said it was like milking a cow. She wouldn't come out at all if you didn't move. Feng Yu also expressed his understanding that living in this place would be a bit unfamiliar when communicating with others, not to mention Sister Jina's
The Chinese accent is very strong, and it is a unique blend of Chinese, Soviet and Mongolian accents. I wonder if this eldest sister was influenced by the three influences in her young life?
Zhang Xiuxian then asked: "Big Girl Mountain? What Big Girl Mountain? Zhang Manyue is really good at scheming. I said, can't she wait for the brothers? Since she wants us to go there, she doesn't wait for me. This is so dishonest.
Well, why, we haven’t seen each other in these years, are you happy to tease her for a while? Sister, did Xiao Nizi say anything else? "
"No, Daguanguniu Mountain is easy to find. After entering the Xing'an Mountains from the north, you can see a very tall mountain all the way to the north, that is Daguanguniu Mountain, followed by Xiaoguniang Mountain, and then you enter the Daxinganling Mountains.
We are in the area, the road is not far, seven days’ journey is enough to get there.”
"Seven? Seven days? Isn't that not that far?" Zhang Xiuxian asked, after coming out of the Crescent Hotel in Beijing, he had been traveling a lot these days, probably more than he had walked in the past few years.
Sister Jina added more fuel to the fire, "Abba said when he left, he was afraid that you would not be able to find the way, so I asked Ima to take you there."
