Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Camp

I was dumbfounded when I heard this. I just saw this place mentioned in Wen Jin's notes, and they had to go there anyway.All of a sudden I couldn't react, and they probably haven't read Wen Jin's notes, how did they know the existence of this place? "What's wrong?" The Caucasian man saw my strange expression and asked me, "Suddenly his face turned pale." "It's nothing, I was scared just now." I immediately covered it up, pretending to be strange, and asked him while following him, "Where is Tamutuo? What are you going to do?"

"Tamutuo? That's a long story," the Caucasian looked at Aning who was walking ahead, and said to me softly, "I'll tell you later, let's see the two little brothers from inside. Bring back something." I saw the look he gave me, it seemed that Aning wouldn't let him talk about these things, so he understood it and stopped talking. People in the camp rushed to tell each other, and everyone sleeping in sleeping bags was woken up, so we could only carefully walk through the moving sleeping bags, following Aning and the others all the way. The entire camp is very large, bypassing the "Land Rover" concentration area on the roadside, and there is a tent behind it, the largest of which is a dome tent with a diameter of four to five meters, which should be built by local people, and there are signs in Tibetan on it. Seems to be the standard of living.Aning led us in, and it was very warm inside. I saw a charcoal stove with a small chimney burning on the side, and there were thick and colorful cow wool blankets on the ground. I later learned that this is called "coarse pulu". Pretty expensive stuff.In addition, there are a lot of old-fashioned Tibetan wooden furniture, as well as some non-woven bags that have been packed and not disassembled.

The whole tent was very comfortable. Aning sat on the carpet, and a Tibetan came in, who seemed to be the owner of the tent, and poured buttered tea for each of us. I also sat down and looked at these people. What annoyed me the most was Poker Bottle. He sat across from me, without looking at me, leaning against a pile of blankets, and immediately began to close his eyes and meditate.Not all the people in the car came, but some I didn't know, which also made me quite uncomfortable.Among these people, I only know one Wu Laosi and a Caucasian, and the others are all unfamiliar faces. These people sat down one after another, and Aning put the things that the black glasses brought out from the haunted house just now on the low table in front of us.

It was a flat mahogany box. When opened, there was a broken blue and white porcelain plate inside. On the left side of the plate, a hand-sized piece was missing. There must be a space under the stone coffin, and it seems that the porcelain plate was originally placed in that space.What is this, why would Poker Bottle steal this?I can't help but also a little curious. I was about to adjust the direction of my neck to look at the plate, when suddenly two people came in from outside the tent, they were an old Tibetan woman with white hair and a middle-aged Tibetan woman.The old lady was as skinny as Chen Pi Asi, about 70 years old, but she was quite energetic and had sharp eyes. The middle-aged woman looked like an ordinary Tibetan.As soon as the two of them entered the tent, the atmosphere suddenly changed. Except for the black glasses and the oil bottle, everyone else sat down involuntarily and turned their bodies towards them, especially the old lady.Two people even bowed to her, it seems that this old Tibetan woman has a relatively high status here.

The old woman also returned a salute, and looked at us, especially me, probably because I was unfamiliar, so I took a few more glances, and then sat down straight away.Aning respectfully picked up the porcelain plate and handed it to her, and asked, "Mama, take a look, is this what you saw back then?" Immediately after she finished speaking, someone translated it into Tibetan. The old woman took the porcelain plate and looked at it. After a few glances, she kept nodding and kept saying something in Tibetan.The translator began to translate her words back, and a few people began to talk.

Their conversations were intermittent, and the interpreter not only didn’t have a very high level of Tibetan, but what’s more terrible, he didn’t seem to be able to speak Chinese. I was stuttering. I tried my best to listen but couldn’t understand, so I asked Wu Laosi next to me softly, Who is this old woman? Wu Laosi didn't answer me, but the black glasses beside him spoke.He whispered to me: "She is called Dingzhu Zhuoma, and she was Wenjin's guide back then." When I heard this name, I said "Ah", and my heart became clearer, and I was surprised by the supernatural power of Aning Company. They not only knew about Tamu Tuo, but also knew that there was a guide. So, Ah Ning should know about Wen Jin?

In Wenjin's notes, I learned how they set out from Dunhuang and entered the hinterland of Qaidam. She did mention that they hired a Tibetan female guide.I couldn't help touching the notebook in my pocket, thinking what's going on, has anyone read this notebook? However, I remember that Wen Jin also said in the notes that the female guide did not lead them very deep into the basin. There was no way to find it, and finally they parted ways with their guide at the pass of a mountain of salt, and set off on their own to go deeper.The Qaidam Basin covers an area of ​​more than 240,000 square kilometers. They traveled for three weeks and no one can tell where they ended up.

It seems that if they want to go to Tamu Tuo, this old woman alone cannot bring any particularly useful help to Aning and the others.At most, it can take them to the place where they broke up with the Wenjin team. Just as I was thinking, the conversation between Aning and Dingzhu Zhuoma was over. After the salute, the middle-aged woman helped the old lady out, and some people who didn’t understand asked what was going on. Aning couldn’t hide her face anymore. With a smile on his face, he said excitedly: "That's right! She said it was this plate, and this was the one Chen Wenjin showed her back then. She said that with this plate, she could take us to the mountain pass back then."

Several people became commotion, and the black glasses asked, "When are you leaving?" Aning had already stood up, and said to them: "Today, at 12:00 noon, we all set off." After speaking, the others stood up and were about to go out. At this time, the black glasses said again: "Then what should he do?" Pointing at me while speaking. Aning and the others turned their heads to look at me, as if they forgot that I was here just now, they were all taken aback, and I stared at Aning, wondering what she would say. Unexpectedly, Aning didn't pay too much attention to it. After thinking about it, he pointed to the oil bottle and said to the black glasses: "He brought it back, let him take care of him." Then he took people out.Only the black glasses and Poker Bottle were left in the tent.

The black glasses laughed dryly, leaned on the felt, lit a cigarette, and then looked at Poker Bottle and said, "I said you are asking for trouble. Just don't let him get in the car just now, you Say what to do now?" Poker bottle raised his head, glanced at me lightly, seemed to sigh helplessly, and said to me: "You go back, it's none of your business here, don't go into that nursing home again, the things inside are Too dangerous." I looked at him and was very unhappy. To be honest, I don't want to go to that shitty place at all, and I don't know why Ah Ning and the others went there. I just want to know what Pokerfoil did in Yunding, and the horrible scene I saw What exactly is going on.

So I replied: "You can go back if you want, I just want to ask you a few questions." Poker bottle still looked at me indifferently, shook his head and said, "My things are beyond your comprehension, and I'm also looking for answers to some things." He also stood up and walked out of the tent without looking back. . I was so angry that I was trembling all over, almost vomiting blood, looking at his back, I really wanted to rush up and strangle him to death. The black glasses also sighed, patted me on the side, and said: "There is a bus here, and it will take you to the city in three hours, and the journey is smooth." After speaking, the black glasses also walked out of the tent, and I was the only one left in the tent.The scene suddenly calmed down. This made me very embarrassed. I felt underestimated or even abandoned. I was very uncomfortable. Just now, Aning and the others, with their stuffy oil bottles and black glasses, simply thought that I was a dispensable person.It hurts more than name calling or hate. But the problem with black glasses is real. Thinking about it, Ah Ning's team is about to leave. I was rescued by them from the ghost building. This was an emergency, so they didn't prepare any measures to arrange for me, and they didn't have any responsibility to explain to me. Of course you should go back by yourself. However, I was really not reconciled. Seeing people coming and going outside the tent and preparations in full swing, I could feel my blood surging.I thought about what I can do when I go back?Wen Jin, who sent the things, left one step ahead of me. This person can be hidden for twenty years, and the third uncle can't find it with all means. How can I find him?Am I going to look for her for another thirty years for a puzzle like Third Uncle?impossible. What happened in the nursing home is confusing, but there is no clue at all. The notes left by Wen Jin keep talking about this "Tamutuo".But now, the group of people outside are about to leave, but I am going to buy a ticket and take the bus home. The only clue to the whole thing is the notes in my pocket, and the content in the notes seems to imply that I have to go to Tamu Tuo to know something. What should I do?Back to Golmud, what can I do, I can't do anything. "Be proactive in doing things." Suddenly these words from my grandfather sounded in my ears, and then I touched the notebook in my pocket, thinking that this time in Golmud, it was entirely because of my quickness and decisiveness that I took the lead. Well, I made up my mind right away, motherfucker, don't be arrogant, if you can go, so can I, and this time I will go too!I stood up, walked to Aning who was preparing her luggage outside, and asked her, "Do you have any extra equipment?" Aning was counting her compressed biscuits, when she heard me asking her suddenly, she showed a very surprised expression: "Excess equipment? What do you want to do?" I shrugged, not knowing how to say it: "I want to join, I want to join, and I want to go to Tamu Tuo!" "Add your size." Ah Ning smiled and turned her head to ignore me.However, I continued to look at her and said to her: "I can help you, think about being in Yunding Tiangong." Aning raised her head, her face changed, she looked into my eyes and smiled at me: "Are you serious?" I nodded, and she pointed to the equipment truck on the side: "Take whatever you want, and leave on time at twelve o'clock, and don't wait when it's overdue."
