Chapter Thirty-One Section Fifteen
Chapter 31 Section 15
Just as he was talking, a bearded voice suddenly shouted from outside the door: "Here comes the meat skewers!" Immediately, everyone smelled a strong aroma of barbecue entering their nostrils.
I saw the bearded man carrying a big iron plate with a dozen meat skewers piled high in it, and walked in with a smile on his face. After placing the meat skewers on the table, he asked curiously: "Huh?"
Dear friends, haven’t you tasted my kumiss?” As he spoke, he took an extra-large leather bag from the door, unscrewed the lid, walked to the table, and poured some for Liu Ping and others.
Had a glass of kumiss.
Under the overwhelming hospitality, everyone picked up their bowls and took a sip. They felt that the koumiss had an average taste and was not as delicious as Big Beard said. Maybe it was because they were not used to it, but even so, Xu Yunde kept saying
He praised: "It tastes really good... Oh, by the way, boss, how far is it from Tianshan Mountain to your place?"
The bearded man said: "Friend, I am not the boss, my name is Maimaiti, I am just a barbecue seller! The boss here is a vicious woman, well, she is outside now."
When Xu Yunde and others heard this, they turned around curiously and saw a middle-aged woman standing in front of the meat stall. This woman was tall and fat, with a flowered headscarf on her head. She seemed to be bargaining with the customers.
.
Looking at the woman's "huge" body, Ge Wu couldn't help but swallowed and said: "But she is vicious enough..." Then he curiously asked Maimaiti: "But just now you said this is your house
Yeah? If that’s the case, why aren’t you the boss?”
Maimaiti rubbed her hands and said, "Actually... that vicious woman you saw is my wife!"
"..." Everyone was speechless when they heard this.
Later, Maimaiti said again: "Friends, do you want to go to Tianshan Mountain? It is more than five hundred miles away from here. It is unwise to go to Tianshan Mountain in this season. I advise you not to take the risk."
When Liu Ping heard this, she immediately became interested and asked: "Why is it unwise to go to Tianshan this season?"
Maimaiti blinked and said: "Because the Tianshan Mountains are now covered with thick snow, as long as there is a faint sound, it is likely to cause an avalanche. If you encounter an avalanche, even if the gods come, it will
There is no way to escape death! In addition, there are many bottomless snow caves in the Tianshan Mountains. These snow caves are covered with snow. From the outside, they don’t look like anything at all.
You can't find it, but as long as you step on it, you will fall in immediately, and no one can climb out of these snow caves. Also, there are snow monsters living in Tianshan Mountain, which are usually on the top of the snow peaks, but in winter,
There is no food at the top of the mountain, so they will come down to look for food. These snow monsters are particularly ferocious, and every year many people are dragged into the mountains and eaten by them."
After listening to Maimaiti's words, everyone was surprised. Liu Ping said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that there are still such bizarre events in the Tianshan Mountains!"
Maimaiti said with a serious face: "Yes, so I advise you to give up the idea of going to the mountains as soon as possible, eat some meat skewers, drink some kumiss, and then play for a few days and go home happily.
,Isn’t this bad?”
Xu Yunde smiled and said: "Thank you for your kindness, but we have a very important thing to do when we go to Tianshan. No matter how dangerous it is there, we will not back down!"
After hearing this, Maimaiti looked surprised. He immediately poured himself a bowl of kumiss, raised his glass to everyone and said, "You all have a brave heart. I dedicate this glass of wine to you. I wish you all the best."
all the best."
Everyone raised their bowls and drank the kumiss in one gulp.
After leaving Maimaitijia, everyone set off again. It took about another day and night, and finally arrived at the place where we met Tashi Kuton. It was very close to Tianshan Mountain. Through the car window, everyone could clearly see
Seeing the towering majesty of the Tianshan Mountains, the mountains are covered with snow and the peaks are shrouded in clouds and mist, making them look mysterious and solemn.
Ge Wu exclaimed: "This mountain range is so huge, how can we find the ruins of an ancient temple?"
Liu Pingze said thoughtfully: "Maimaiti said that there are many bottomless caves in this mountain. It seems that if we want to enter the mountain, we have to find a guide who is very familiar with Tianshan.
"
At this time, Zhou Xiaole, who was driving, laughed and said: "Miss Liu, Tashi will definitely help you make arrangements. I don't think anyone is more familiar with Tianshan than him."
After hearing this, Po Rong seemed to be very surprised. She said: Brother Xiaole, does that Tashi Kuton often climb Tianshan Mountain? Why is he so familiar with Tianshan Mountain?"
Zhou Xiaole said: "The Tashi family seems to have a secret, and this secret is related to the Tianshan Mountains. Although I don't know much about it, I heard that Tashi would lead some people to go to the Tianshan Mountains every summer. For decades,
, never stopped, so I think he must be very familiar with Tianshan."
"The secret of the Tashi family?" After hearing this, Liu Ping and others all turned their attention to Hu Fei, and then Xu Yunde said: "Isn't it the same as the secret of Brother Hu's family?"
Hu Fei chuckled and said, "That's probably true!"
While talking, the car drove into a town. This town was many times larger than the one where Maimaiti lived. The streets were crowded with people and seemed extremely lively.
As soon as the car entered the town, Zhou Xiaole increased the speed of the car and looked around through the car window, as if he was looking for something. After a while, he looked happy, then turned to everyone and said: "Tashi
Coutun’s daughter, she’s here to pick us up!”
Following Zhou Xiaole's direction, everyone looked up and saw a girl wearing a veil, surrounded by seven or eight sturdy men, standing on the street looking curiously at Zhou Xiaole's car.
At this time, Zhou Xiaole opened the car window, waved to the woman and shouted: "Little Tashi, come here quickly!"
When the woman saw Zhou Xiaole, her eyes suddenly showed joy, and then she hurried over, and a voice like a bell came from behind the veil: "It's brother Xiaole, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you.
You guys have been here for three days!”
Zhou Xiaole chuckled and said, "It's winter now, and the road is slippery with blood. It's hard to drive too fast. Okay, you guys come up first."
The little girl nodded, then waved to the big men behind her, and seven or eight people climbed into the car.
Liu Ping and others met with them and nodded in a friendly manner. Then Zhou Xiaole started the engine and said to everyone: "Everyone, this is Tashi Kuton's daughter, named Tashi Mary."
"Hello, Miss Mary, my name is..." Liu Ping and others introduced themselves one by one.
This Mary was extremely cheerful. She started chattering as soon as she got in the car. She also asked Zhou Xiaole when he would take her to the inland. To this, Xiaole just smiled and did not answer. It seemed that the relationship between the two people must be very good.
subtle.
In addition, the big men Mary brought with her only nodded slightly to Liu Ping and others as a greeting when they got on the bus, and then remained silent. They never left Mary's side. It seemed that they were all
Well-trained bodyguards.
After a while, the car arrived in front of a large house. Mary hurriedly stuck her head out of the car window and shouted: "Open the door, open the door quickly, the guests are coming!"
After a moment, the huge iron door suddenly opened, and Zhou Xiaole drove the car in without hesitation.
As soon as he entered the hospital, he saw thirty or forty people standing there. The one in the middle was an old man with a beard. After Zhou Xiaole parked the car, he stood up and said to everyone: "That is Tashi Kudun.
Let’s get off the bus.”
Everyone nodded, and then, led by Zhou Xiaole and Mary, they filed out of the carriage. When Nazaxi Kuton saw Xiaole, he immediately came up to him. They both opened their arms and hugged each other warmly. Then Zhou Xiaole said
: "Uncle Tashi. I haven't seen you for a few years, but your body is still as strong as ever!"
Tashi laughed loudly and said: "You are getting more and more handsome! How is Mr. Zhu?"
Zhou Xiaole nodded and said, "Excuse me, please worry about me. My husband is in good health, but he has always been thinking about you. He often said that he would go to Tibet to have a drink with you when he has time!"
Tashi said: "The door of my Tashi's home will always be open to Mr. Zhu. Whenever he goes, I will prepare the best wine and the best barbecue to have a drink with him! Okay, you still have to drink with him!"
You didn’t introduce these friends to me.”
Zhou Xiaole nodded, and then introduced Liu Ping and others one by one. The two sides said hello to each other, and after chatting for a long time, Zha Xi had just raised his forehead and said hurriedly: "Look at my brain, such a cold weather can actually let people from far away
Come here, my friend is standing outside in the cold, damn it! Everyone, please go inside quickly, you must be exhausted from the journey."
Ge Wu chuckled and said: "I'm not tired, I'm just a little hungry..."
Xu Yunde pulled Ge Wu out of embarrassment and whispered: "You kid, please don't embarrass me!" Then he said to Tashi: "My brother loves to joke, please ignore him."
Tashi laughed and invited everyone into the house. The house was spacious and the decoration was high-quality, but it was much inferior to the Zhu family. At this time, Tashi had already prepared a banquet. In the middle of the huge dining table, there was a
Roasting a whole lamb made Ge Wu and others salivate.
After everyone took their seats, Tashi said: "Everyone who has come from afar, I, Tashi, would like to toast you!"
Everyone hurriedly thanked them and took a sip of kumiss. Xu Yunde said: "Senior Tashi, Senior Zhu must have told you the purpose of our visit this time, right?"
Zhaxi nodded and said: "You want to go to the Tianshan Mountains to find the ruins of an ancient temple. There may be unparalleled treasures hidden there?"
Xu Yunde nodded and replied: "Yes, this is exactly the purpose of our coming here."
Zhaxi sighed and said: "At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, there is a group of terrorists. They are extremely vicious and have very good weapons and equipment. I have been dealing with them for the past two years. It's a pity that these guys are too cunning, and I have never been able to do so."
We can drive them away... But since you are friends of Mr. Zhu, my Tashi family will definitely help you. I have decided to organize a group of people tomorrow to go into the mountains and wipe out these bad elements. Only in this way can you be safe.
