Chapter 35 Chapter 6: The Big Civet

The snow is white, which is common sense. I found it strange, so I squatted down and took a closer look.The bottom of the snowdrift was bright red, which was probably blood. Could it be that there was an injured person or animal under the snowdrift?I was worried that something might happen, so I called Yuan Yuanyuan and Xu Qianer to come out and take a look, but they were also dumbfounded.How come there is a pool of bloody snow next to the tent, how unlucky it is, and we will have to take risks tomorrow! "It's a person!" Xu Qianer planed for a while with his hands, and a pair of feet wearing Tibetan boots were exposed in the snowdrift.

In fact, I have been praying in my heart that it must not be Xu Shaode or Fan Li. After Yuan Yuanyuan completely removed the snowdrift, a Tibetan man appeared.A large piece of skin had been torn off his face, exposing the spongy tissue, and the blood had frozen into a crystal form, looking like a work of art.However, he is not Xu Shaode or Fan Li, and at this moment, I actually feel lucky. Now that I think about it, it is really too evil. "What hurt him?" I was anxious, thinking that something as weird as Huoyanshan might have happened. "I don't know, it should be someone from the village, let's send him back to the village."

"I want to send you off, I don't have time!" I hurriedly refused, after what happened in Huoyanshan, I was most afraid of seeing the despairing expressions of the family members of the deceased. "Someone!" Xu Qianer said alertly, but I didn't hear the footsteps, because the wind was very loud here, it was hard to distinguish, and it was dark, so I couldn't see the distance. I glanced at Xu Qianer and found that he was wearing sunglasses all the time, and he was still reluctant to take them off even at night.However, the person he mentioned soon appeared in front of his eyes. They were two people. Judging from their appearance, they should have come from the same place as the deceased.When they saw the dead man, their faces were livid, and they babbled a lot, but I didn't understand a single word.Now that they came, I told Yuan Yuanyuan to let them carry them back. Didn't she keep saying that it was inconvenient to disturb the villagers?Fortunately, they were also willing, and the matter was finally resolved perfectly, but my heart was full of ups and downs, and my intuition told me that this operation would be more difficult than the one at Huoyanshan.

"What did you say just now?" After those two people left, I asked Xu Qianer curiously. He likes gossip the most, so I asked him. "Well, that...Xiao Yuan, why don't you give the gun to Xiao Jin first?" Xu Qianer didn't answer, but turned his face to Yuan Yuanyuan's side instead. "Uncle Xu, it's not that I won't give it. He said that Jin Wan cannot be allowed to hide weapons." Yuan Yuanyuan wondered. "What are you talking about? The people above actually emphasized that I am not allowed to have a gun. What should I do if I am in danger?" I was really surprised. I didn't expect people from the Ministry of State Security to be so stingy.It's not that I don't know how to use a gun, so there's nothing to worry about. Could it be... Does the person in charge know that I can't do it with golden arrows?When I thought of this, I was startled.

"Let's go to the tent first, it's cold at night." Yuan Yuanyuan seemed to feel unreasonable, so she deliberately avoided the topic. In the tent, the oil lamp was dim, but I found that they were a little more sad.Yuan Yuanyuan said that the villagers just came to look for the deceased. He went to the mountain to collect herbs today, but he never came back. After dark, his family couldn't sit still, so they entrusted the strong men in the village to come out to search.However, several people in the village have had accidents recently. They all rumored that the gods in the mountain were furious and that anyone who went up the mountain would be executed.

Meili is a transliteration of the local Kham language. It means medicinal materials. Together they are medicinal materials snow mountains. From this we can see that there are many precious medicinal materials on the mountains.According to legend, the mountain god of the snow mountain guards a plant of magic medicine, but no one knows what kind of medicine it is. Their faces were full of sadness. I asked the reason, and they said it was because the two villagers said that two young people from other places also came here a few days ago, but they never showed up again.As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Xu Shaode and Fan Li. I hope nothing happened to them.When the matter developed to this point, I suddenly lost my appetite, even though my stomach was twisted into a ball.However, a sweet smell came into my nose, and I was about to ask Yuan Yuanyuan and Xu Qianer what they cooked, but they asked me if I brought something delicious.

Since it's not them, it's strange, the night has already fallen, in this barren snow-capped mountains, where does such an alluring fragrance come from? I slowly opened the tent, and then took a flashlight to shine out, only to see a huge cat slumped outside the tent.Its body is gray-brown, its head, forehead, and lips are all gray-white, and there are 3 black horizontal stripes from the side of its neck to its front shoulders, which are quite different from ordinary wild cats.I picked up the cat and found that the scent was emanating from it, and it was very strong.Could it be that I was so hungry that I could smell the aroma before I cooked the cat?

This cat is male, I observed it carefully, there is a pair of well-developed sac-like aroma glands next to its genitals, it is estimated that the fragrance diffuses from here.This cat should be a big civet, a spiritual creature in the mountains, and it can also be made into spices.It's just that this cat is a bit ridiculously big, and its eyes are human-like, and it seems to be seeking protection.Moreover, when the snow is falling, why is it not in the nest, what is it doing here?You must know that big civets are very rare. If I sell them, I will definitely earn a lot of money. "Throw it away!" Yuan Yuanyuan said a little angrily.

"Why, it won't threaten us." I hugged this big frozen civet, trying to make it feel warm. "Haven't you heard that when a dog comes to the door, good luck comes; when a cat comes to the door, disasters come. Throw it away!" Yuan Yuanyuan said, shaking her hands. "You are too sympathetic, throwing it away, isn't it the same as killing it?" I disagreed. "Throw it away, listen to Uncle Xu." Xu Qianer persuaded him as an elder. I was silent, but I hugged the big civet tightly. They looked helpless and had to let me go, but they had to throw it away tomorrow morning, because it would be inconvenient to bring a living thing with them tomorrow.After they cooked the food, I gave some to the big civet, which made my stomach growl in the middle of the night.Because there is not much cooked food, there is a limit for each person, and I didn't eat enough. Of course I was so hungry that I panicked. For a moment, I even wanted to kill this big civet.However, I immediately felt that it was too vicious, and immediately said a sentence in my heart: sin, sin.

Accompanied by the fragrance, I gradually fell asleep, and I slept comfortably this time, probably because I was tired for a few days.However, when he woke up the next day, the big civet was gone.On the contrary, Yuan Yuanyuan was a little happy, and left as soon as she said it, which meant that the disaster was gone.I really don't understand how a highly educated person can be so superstitious. The heavy snow was still falling, but it was much smaller than yesterday's. We packed our bags and climbed up.We walked up the ridge on the right, and the road was fairly easy, but after walking a thousand meters, my breathing gradually couldn't keep up with the needs of my body, and my mind began to become confused.But before that, Yuan Yuanyuan gave me a pair of sunglasses. I know that in the snowy mountain environment, it is easy to be snow blind without wearing sunglasses.However, I always felt that someone was following behind me, and I always felt that there was a pair of eyes peeping at us.I turned my head, but couldn't see anything.

I don't know how long I have to go, they didn't tell me anything, and it was very boring to climb the mountain aimlessly.After two hours of climbing, the snow was already as thick as 30 centimeters, making it almost impossible to move, and every step required a lot of strength.After turning over the ridge, we came to the alpine bushes. It seemed that someone had lived here before, and there were a few dilapidated cabins. In a depression in the woods, there is a hanging glacier, the scenery is very spectacular.Here, let me explain what a hanging glacier is: it is the snow on the mountain slope, and under suitable conditions, it forms a glacier that hangs on the mountain slope and does not descend to the foot of the mountain.It is small in size and is the embryonic form of glacier development. When the climate further cools and snowfall increases, it can develop into a valley glacier. "Strange, didn't they say there are waterfalls?" Yuan Yuanyuan looked around. "Waterfall? In such a cold day, even a waterfall would be frozen!" I laughed. "Could it be at the Hanging Glacier?" Xu Qianer said, "It seems to be a place where water gathers." "Let's go down and have a look." Yuan Yuanyuan made a gesture and jumped off the forest basin. However, at the same time, many animals rushed out, and there were also many big birds. So many animals appearing in the snow in an instant, I am afraid it is a spectacle.They all rushed down the mountain, I feel strange, even if we frightened them, they shouldn't have such a big reaction.However, there is one animal that goes in the opposite direction, and it is the civet.It turned out that it was not a person but a cat who was following behind him all the time.I couldn't understand why all the animals were running down, but it was running up. With such a big commotion, the three of us remained silent, thinking that there would be no disaster about to happen, right?The snow drifted bigger and bigger, and within a while it was like a rainstorm. I was surprised and shouted in my heart: This... this is... an avalanche! "Don't be nervous!" Yuan Yuanyuan realized that I wanted to escape, so she hurriedly stopped me. "Avalanche, it's going to be an avalanche!" I yelled, I've seen this power with my own eyes.On the snow-capped mountains in Xinjiang, I have seen it several times from a distance. The snow rushes down like a tsunami, not to mention people, even stones can be smashed to pieces. "It's too late to run now!" Xu Qianer was calm. Yuan Yuanyuan said that Xu Qianer has been picking yams here since the 1960s, and he must be right about anything.It's no wonder that they didn't find a local villager as a guide when they went up the mountain. It turned out that there was already an experienced person among us.According to the situation, the avalanche will appear within two minutes.I don't know whether to run or stay, but what they said is right, even if I have eight legs, I can't run against the avalanche, and it doesn't save energy. The basin in the alpine bushes is only more than ten meters wide, but after I jumped down, I found that it was not a basin, but a pool of water.Because of the winter, the pool became solid, and the snow on it was so thick that it was almost impossible to pull it out with one foot.The sky was very heavy at this time, and the gray clouds kept rolling, as if they could be grasped by reaching out.There is a very thick part of the hanging glacier. We walked over it with difficulty. This glacier is black, which is different from the surrounding white glaciers. We leaned over it and looked carefully, only to find that the back of it is hollow.
