At this moment, the sky is gradually getting darker, and only some red clouds appear high in the sky above the snow-capped mountains. On the contrary, the Kunlun Mountains are reflected even more desolately.
But there is a power in this desolation, a power that people can't help but worship. The Kunlun Mountains, this sacred mountain in Chinese myths and legends, brings people a heavy feeling.
It wasn't just Qin Yu and others who parked their cars here, there were also other vehicles. The mountain road was difficult to walk at night, and most of the people who took this road were traveling by car, so they didn't dare to take the time.
What's more, the Kunlun Mountain Pass also has a lot of scenery. There are stone tablets erected among the sand and grass on both sides. Some of these are monuments, but some are inscriptions recording the history of Kunlun Mountain.
People traveling by car were busy taking photos under these stone monuments, but the Hou Jiu group had already set up tents on the ground because they knew they were not here for tourism.
Hou Jiu and the others were naturally very good at setting up tents, and they were able to do it all within a quarter of an hour, even helping Qin Yu and the three of them set it up.
After setting up the tent, the monkey took out a box from the trunk of the car, and then opened the box. There was a lot of charcoal inside.
Light a fire. After the monkey lit the fire, other self-driving tourists nearby saw it and imitated the same. Although they did not prepare charcoal fire, the most indispensable thing in this desolate place was dry wood.
When the sky gradually darkens, bonfires have already been set up on the soft Gobi Desert on the side of Kunlun Pass. The temperature at Kunlun Pass is a bit low at night, and the best way to keep out the cold is fire and liquor.
.
Groups of people are guarding a bonfire, grilling prepared lamb legs, mutton or other foods, mixed with the aroma of various wines. At this moment, Kunlun Pass is more like a picnic gathering place.
Among these many bonfires, the one with the best skills is undoubtedly the monkey. A suckling sheep exudes an alluring fragrance under the monkey's hands. Others not far away smell this fragrance and look at the browned suckling sheep.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow a few times.
A suckling goat was enough for Qin Yu to share among eight people. However, just when Qin Yu was about to tear a lamb leg apart, a young man came over with several bottles of wine in his hands.
"These guys are very skilled. Their barbecue skills are as good as those of the chefs."
The young man first praised the monkey, and then put the two bottles of Maotai in his hand on the ground, rubbed his hands and said: "Brothers, to be honest, I came here because I need some help.
Please help, these two bottles of wine are disrespectful."
After hearing the young man's words, Hou Jiu and others did not express their opinions, but Qin Yu knew the purpose of this young man's visit, because he had heard the conversation between the young man and his companions before.
This young man has four companions. Two men and two women are all young people. The five young men are traveling by car. They also drive cars worth tens of millions. They should be considered the children of rich people.
.
But after all, they are all young men. This means that they can drive, but their picnic skills are not. It would be fine if Monkey's barbecue skills were not in front of him. But after seeing the roasted whole lamb grilled by Monkey and smelling the aroma of the meat, then
Compared with the charred barbecue that he and others cooked, the two girls gave up.
"Brother, you have great barbecue skills. Can you do me a favor? Please help us grill it too." The young man made a request.
However, the monkey's eyes were turned to Hou Jiu. Hou Jiu glanced at the young man and finally nodded towards the monkey.
"Hey, thank you so much. Brother, come with me."
The monkey followed the young man and walked away, but Hou Jiu did not touch the two bottles of Maotai in front of him. When he went out, especially in his profession, he would never touch anything from strangers.
The reason why the monkey is asked to agree to the other party is because he does not want to add extraneous details to avoid attracting attention.
Hou Jiu doesn't drink, but that doesn't mean that everyone doesn't drink. At least Jia San quickly grabbed one of the bottles of Maotai in his hand, opened the lid and poured it into his mouth.
"Tsk tsk, that's right. Although it's not 20 years old, it's still three to five years old and the taste is quite strong." Jia San said while drinking: "Don't tell me I'm going to swallow it all by myself. You guys have the rest of the bottle of wine."
It’s divided.”
Hou Jiu didn't drink, and the general and Zhao Yan didn't dare to drink. As for Qin Yu, Du Ruoxi didn't drink. Deng Wei glanced at Qin Yu, but Qin Yu shook his head and took it out of his arms.
A small wine bottle means that you have wine.
After pulling off a leg of lamb, Qin Yu walked aside alone and drank the wine from the bottle in his hand with the goat leg. Behind him, there was a figure stretched by the bonfire.
As the sky got darker and darker, many people returned to their tents after eating. After all, at such a high altitude, the temperature at night was still very low.
Of course, some people continued. After several bottles of wine, the voices of those gathered in front of several bonfires became louder.
"Let me tell you, this road under our feet, do you know how much we paid to build this road?"
"What price?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"This road is really paved with bones. When this railway was built, horses and camels were used to transport things. On average, one person died every meter."
The voice of the person who said this suddenly became louder, "The people at that time were the real heroes. They really did it because of the faith in their hearts and purely for the future of the motherland. For this reason, they could shed their blood and sacrifice their lives.
Buried in it forever."
The companion of the speaker fell silent, and so did everyone else who heard this, because one can almost imagine such a scene.
In that era, how much effort and cost was required to build such a long road at such a high altitude? Altitude sickness alone could kill many people, not to mention the need to lay a road here.
One can imagine the difficulty involved.
However, after the silence, a weak voice sounded: "Ah, so many people have died here, is it haunted?"
The voice was made by a girl. Thinking of the death of so many people on the road not far away, how could a girl not be afraid?
"Hey, little girl, you don't know this. The Kunlun Mountain Pass is haunted. If you are lucky, you might be able to see the scene again." It was still the middle-aged man who spoke before.
"You...what do you mean?"
"Hey, you know, it is said that at some special times, when someone drove here, he saw many people on this road. These people were building this road in full swing. The man was scared to death. One night
He hid in the car and did not go out. The scene did not disappear until dawn the next day. Afterwards, the man went home and investigated some information and found out that the scene he saw that night was the scene when this highway was originally constructed.
"
"You...don't talk anymore."
The girl was frightened and hid in the tent, causing the middle-aged man to laugh. However, after laughing, the middle-aged man's expression turned serious, "Everyone, don't think I'm joking. After encountering this,
It was my friend who happened, and he told me personally, so tonight, you’d better not walk out of the tent easily to avoid bumping into something.”
Late at night, the temperature of the entire Kunlun Pass has dropped to a very low level. People who were sitting outside also returned to the tents in twos and threes, and some chose to sleep in the car.
The bonfires were slowly extinguished, but there were still a few sporadic bonfires still there. The entire Kunlun Mountain suddenly fell silent, leaving only the sound of wind and the crackling sounds of unburned firewood.
However, the sound of the wind became louder and louder, making the tent roar and whistle, causing those who were awakened by the wind to curl up in the tent unconsciously.
When the wind noise became louder, Hou Jiu had already gotten up, and Zhao Yan and others came out of the tent at the same time.
"Master, this noise is not due to a sandstorm coming, right?" Zhao Yan reluctantly opened his eyes and asked.
"I checked the weather. There hasn't been any strong airflow here in the past few days. There can't be a sandstorm." Hou Jiu shook his head. The wind gave him a very evil feeling.
"Hou Jiu, this is the dark wind. Come back to the tent quickly and don't wait and see." Jia San's voice sounded in the tent, "Such a strong dark wind, either a big figure from the underworld will appear or there will be many ghosts passing by.
No matter what it is, it’s not something we can deal with.”
After hearing Jia San's words, Hou Jiu reacted on the spot and shouted to his apprentice and the monkey: "You two go back to the tent quickly. No matter what you hear, don't come out of the tent."
"Oh, okay." Zhao Yan and Monkey nodded, and quickly got back into the tent. However, the moment they got back into the tent, Zhao Yan glanced at other places, and was stunned by this glance.
Because, he saw that Mr. Qin was still sitting in the previous place, with no intention of going back to the tent.
"Mr. Qin, it's dangerous outside now. Go back to the tent quickly." Zhao Yan shouted in the direction of Qin Yu. However, amidst the noise of the wind, his voice could not be heard there at all.
This made Zhao Yan hesitate. He didn't know whether he should go over and bring back Mr. Qin, because after all, this dear gentleman was also his employer, and it would always be bad if something happened to his employer.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan got out of the tent again and ran quickly towards the place where Qin Yu was. However, just when Zhao Yan came to Qin Yu's back and was about to slap Qin Yu, a crisp voice suddenly hit him.
rang in his ears.
"You swing the hammer, he hits the pickaxe, and the cart is pushed back and forth. You are not afraid of hardship or tiredness..."
Accompanying this crisp sound was a deafening chaos!
Hearing the sound, Zhao Yan looked curiously in the direction of the sound. At this sight, his whole body trembled. He opened his mouth in shock and was given a few mouthfuls of wind and a mouthful of sand. (To be completed.)
