No one expected that in just two hours, Zhou Rui actually got two guns. You know, the country's control over guns is very strict. Even in Tibetan areas, this kind of military standard submachine gun
, it was not something ordinary people could get, but seeing that Zhou Rui had no intention of explaining the origins of these two guns, no one asked any questions.
"Which one of you knows how to use a gun?"
Zhou Rui took out a gun, looked at the people in the car and asked.
"I hunted in Europe."
"I can do it too. I have practiced shooting indoors."
"I shot a gun during military training in college..."
Three voices rang out, namely Bai Meng'an, Qin Xuanbing and Zhuang Rui. The reason Liu Chuan didn't speak was because he still liked the Thunderbolt shotgun he brought.
"Bai Meng'an, you are going to ride with me later. We already have a gun. This one is for them. Brother Zhuang, remember to turn the safety off at ordinary times. When encountering a situation, if you don't see me shooting,
Don't shoot either."
After Zhou Rui looked at the faces of Qin Xuanbing and Zhuang Rui for a while, he handed the gun to Zhuang Rui, and then explained a few words. In his opinion, the delicate little girl was obviously not as reliable as Zhuang Rui.
Although Bo Meng'an next to him was a little frustrated, he had nothing to say. He also wanted to ride in a Hummer, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
"Put this thing in your car to facilitate everyone's communication. Once you enter the grassland, your mobile phone will have no signal..."
Zhou Rui took out two more walkie-talkies from his body and handed one of them to Zhuang Rui.
Seeing that Zhou Rui was so cautious about entering northern Tibet, Liu Chuan and others, who were still laughing and joking, also stopped smiling and became serious.
Zhuang Rui and the others were taking the Sichuan-Tibet route, which crosses the Hengduan Mountains. There are mudslides in the rainy season and heavy snowfall in the winter. The four seasons on the way are constantly changing. The sun often shines at noon and the temperature can reach seven or eight degrees.
The temperature drops sharply at night, sometimes as low as ten degrees below zero.
But there is no doubt that the Sichuan-Tibet line is the most scenic route after entering Tibet by land. It is not long before the beginning of spring, and the earth is gradually recovering. The low mountains and flat plains that come into view are full of green, and they are also full of unknown wild flowers.
Only the snow-capped mountains standing far away are still covered with snow all year round, and the white clouds floating in the blue sky seem to be connected to the pure white snow.
At this time, we have driven more than 200 kilometers out of Litang County and have entered the Tibetan area. There are still dozens of kilometers ahead of us in Mangkang County, Tibet. The terrain where the car is now is much lower. Everyone in the car is thinking
The feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath in Tangshi has also been relieved a lot.
The scenery along the way is really good. Qin Xuanbing has been holding a high-power focusing camera in her hand to take pictures. Zhuang Rui is very doubtful that he can still capture the scene in a car traveling at a speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour?
Mangkang County is a city that mainly focuses on animal husbandry. The blue sky and white clouds outside the car window, as well as the slowly moving cattle and sheep in the distance, form a wonderful picture. Although several people in the car have not been there for two whole days.
I was lying on the bed and sleeping, but looking at the picture in front of me still gave me a refreshing and relaxed feeling. From time to time, the sound of the camera "clicking, clicking" could be heard in the car.
"Zhuang Rui, Zhuang Rui, please answer if you hear me. Please answer if you hear me."
Zhuang Rui, who was sitting in the passenger seat with his eyes squinted to rest, suddenly heard the intercom placed next to the gearbox rustle first, and then Zhou Rui's voice came out.
"I'm Zhuang Rui, please tell me something!"
Zhuang Rui picked up the walkie-talkie and replied.
"Let's enter Mangkang County for dinner and put the guns away!"
"clear!"
After Zhuang Rui answered, he flattened his seat, picked up the Type 56 submachine gun that was originally placed at his feet, walked low to the car, opened the safety compartment, and put the Type 56 submachine gun inside.
"Hey, there's a gun here."
Bai Mengyao's sharp eyes caught sight of Liu Chuan's Thunderbolt hunting rifle, and she shouted loudly.
"Brother, I brought that. Hehe, don't think that only Zhou Rui knows the dangers of Tibetan wolves!"
Liu Chuan, who was driving in front, said proudly, with his hands busy as he followed the Desert Prince in front and turned into a fork in the road and entered Mangkang County.
Zhou Rui seemed to be very familiar with Mangkang County. He drove directly to the entrance of a restaurant. There were no private rooms in this restaurant, so everyone could only sit down in the lobby. What came to their ears was in Tibetan, and they couldn't understand it.
I won’t tell you, but it was Zhou Rui’s order.
"Brother Zhuang, look at how barbaric they are. They even eat raw meat."
Bai Mengyao was still sitting closely next to Zhuang Rui. Now her eyes were open to the Tibetan men at the table next to her, and she whispered in Zhuang Rui's ear.
Zhuang Rui only felt a tingling sensation in his ears, and a girl's body fragrance filled the tip of his nose. His mind couldn't help but wander. When he looked at Bai Mengyao again, the girl had already been sitting upright, and Qin Xuanbing's eyes were also interested.
Looking over here unintentionally, Zhuang Rui knew that he had been tricked by the girl again, and couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. Bai Mengyao had tormented him a lot along the way.
Along the way, Bai Mengyao almost never stopped saying the words "Brother Zhuang" and made some intimate gestures from time to time, which made Qin Xuanbing and Lei Lei look at him with strange eyes. Zhuang Rui
I have never spent much time with girls. Even though I live in Wenrou Township, I am miserable.
Without paying attention to Bai Mengyao, Zhuang Rui looked at the table next to him. Those people were indeed eating raw meat. To be precise, they were eating a raw leg of lamb. Each of them held a knife in their hand to select the most delicious one.
He cut the parts frequently and put them into his mouth with the tip of the knife. He was very skillful and ate with gusto and rhythm. A large piece of meat with bones was quickly eaten clean, leaving only a pair of bones.
skeleton.
Zhou Rui had already finished ordering the dishes. He didn't know why his ears were so sharp. He heard Bai Mengyao's words in Zhuang Rui's ear clearly and answered for Zhuang Rui: "This is normal. Tibetans and us
The food culture is different. Beef and mutton are their staple food. Their main method of slaughtering cows is to suffocate them to death. The purpose is to keep the blood in the body, so that the meat will be fresh and tender. However, fewer people eat raw meat now, and Mangkang only has this.
Our restaurant still retains this tradition, so I will bring you to see it."
"Brother Zhou, you won't let us eat raw meat, will you?"
Bai Mengyao asked with a grimace, and several people around him nodded. They couldn't accept this custom. Even Liu Chuan, a foodie, had eyes wide open when he saw it, let alone eat it.
"Haha, no, I will bring you to eat the "Four Treasures" of Tibetan food today."
Maybe it was because of the young people. After getting along with each other for the past few days, Zhou Rui talked more than before. Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, he explained: "Butter, tea, tsampa, beef and mutton are all from Tibet.
The Four Treasures, but some people may not be used to eating them. If you don’t like eating them, just eat something else first.”
Not long after the meeting, the waiter in the store served butter tea first. A large bowl was placed in front of everyone. The thick soup-like tea also had some oil floating on it. Zhuang Rui had long heard about the nutritional value of butter tea.
It was extremely rich. He picked up the bowl and took a sip. He immediately felt a sense of warmth all over his body. After finishing the bowl of tea, Zhuang Rui's previous symptoms of altitude sickness, including dizziness, shortness of breath, and panic, all disappeared.
At this time, the dishes were also served, beef and mutton finger meat, cold yak tongue, steamed buns, as well as sweet tea, milk tea, yogurt, grilled sausages, and air-dried meat. The table was full. The staple food was tsampa rake, but you had to use your own hands.
After mixing it with butter tea, everyone felt it was unhygienic, so they didn't eat it. Only Zhou Rui ate it with relish.
After eating, it was already past one in the afternoon. They were planning to stay in Basu County when it got dark. This section of the road was not easy to walk. Before leaving, Zhou Rui actually bought two freshly slaughtered and skinned ones.
The lamb was wrapped in tarpaulin and thrown into the trunk of the off-road vehicle.
Starting from Mangkang, we climbed over Jiaoba Mountain, which is more than 4,000 meters above sea level, and crossed the Nujiang Bridge. The scenery along the way was picturesque. Although this journey definitely took longer than planned, Zhuang Rui still felt very
It was worth it. Here, he felt that his soul was very pure, as if the breeze and white snow here could wash away the dust in people's hearts.
It was almost twelve o'clock at night when we arrived in Basu County. The first few people who arrived in Tibet also felt exhausted. Although the shockproof functions of the two vehicles were good, they were bumpy on the mountain road for more than ten hours and their bodies were exhausted.
As if falling apart, even Bai Meng'an, who was quite picky about the sanitary environment, entered the guest house arranged by Zhou Rui, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
At around six o'clock the next morning, everyone was woken up by Zhou Rui. They had to rush to Nagqu today. If everything went well, it might take two days. This meant that they had to stay overnight on the road. If they were unlucky, it would take them two days.
If you don't have any herdsmen, you'll have no choice but to sleep in the open on the prairie, so you have to leave early and try to find a herdsman family where you can stay overnight before dark.
"Brother Zhou, it seems we can't find these herdsmen, so we can only make do in the car for the night."
Zhuang Rui was in Zhou Rui's Desert Prince at this time. He really couldn't stand Bai Mengyao's harassment. He also saw what this girl was thinking, so he simply proposed to change cars with Bai Mengyao and drive for a while.
Naturally, Meng An would not refuse, but now that the sky had darkened, there was still no sign of anyone.
"There used to be a tribe near here. Maybe it has moved away now. Everyone should be careful at night. We will take turns keeping vigil."
Zhou Rui's expression was not very good. According to his original plan, he was going to stay here at a herdsman's house for one night. However, looking at the current situation, it was impossible. This was a small road that ran across the grassland from Basu to Nagqu.
, maybe because no vehicles have passed by for a long time, the dirt road has been covered with dead grass, making it difficult to identify the road ahead.
