Fortunately, Sister Yuan still gave me face and didn't say anything.
After taking a short rest, we walked into the valley. This valley is very strange. The average altitude is more than 4,000 meters. Rob Dundup said that there are generally no large trees and vegetation above 4,000 meters, but this is not the case in this valley.
I also took a closer look and found that the trees in the valley were very lush and growing gratifyingly, similar to what we saw in Bomi County, except that the types of vegetation and trees were different.
I asked Rob Dunzhu why this situation occurred, and he said that he didn’t know. It stands to reason that with the vegetation growing so well, there would be sufficient oxygen in the valley. However, scientific researchers visited before and found that the oxygen content here was very low. It's not high, it's the same oxygen as at the same altitude.
The geology and melted snow water are also normal, and there is nothing abnormal. Anyway, no one has studied it for a long time, why this valley is like this.
Uncle Su said with a smile: "This may be the reason why there are red bugs here. When I went to Xinjiang to catch red bugs, that place was also very special. There may be some reason that our current technology cannot explain."
"Is it dangerous to catch this red bug?" Zheng Haoyang looked at Uncle Su and asked.
Uncle Su pointed at Xiao Ye: "She is my biological daughter. If the danger is great, would I still ask her to come?"
Hearing Uncle Su say this, Zheng Haoyang looked much more relaxed, but at the same time, he also frowned, as if he was worried.
I understand what he means. He may be afraid that there is no danger at all, and there is no chance for a hero to save the beauty. In that case, he will gain too little from this trip to Tibet.
Because the terrain of the valley is getting lower and lower as we walk into the valley, everyone's condition seems to have recovered a lot. As for this red stink bug, it is actually similar to the ailanthus in our hometown. It is a flying insect. They are small bugs like fingernails, but the red bugs here are red and larger. They lie on tree trunks or grass leaves.
Red bugs are relatively alert. When we are still about five meters away, they will huff and fly to other places, but Uncle Su has a way to catch these red bugs.
Red bugs like sugar, especially the paste smell after boiling sugar cubes, which is very attractive to red bugs. Uncle Su dipped a piece of rag into kerosene and lit it, then set up an earthenware pot on it. Inside the jar are sugar cubes.
After pouring a little water into it, Uncle Su began to boil the sugar. When the sugar melted and became syrupy, a paste smell permeated the air.
At this time, the red bugs in the distance flew above the earthenware jar, hovered in the air for a moment, and then dived directly into the earthen jar. Every time one got in, Uncle Su immediately stepped forward and picked it out with pliers. And put it in a glass bottle with a special solution.
When the red bug enters the glass bottle, the sugary liquid stuck to its body is diluted and washed away, and it is quickly drowned in the solution.
When Uncle Su was catching red stink bugs, he did not forget to remind everyone: "You all should be careful. These red stink bugs cannot be touched with your hands. They will be very itchy when you touch your hands, and then they will start to rot within 24 hours. If you don't use them, they will start to rot." If you use special medicine to treat it, it will eventually spread throughout the body."
Although it sounds a bit scary, Uncle Su told us a long time ago that this red bug usually does not attack people unless it is during the ovulation period.
So we are generally quite relieved.
In about an hour, Uncle Su caught a whole glass bottle. He said it was almost enough, and we could return the same way.
Zhao Hu still smiled and said: "Is this the end? We set off from Shanghai and struggled for so long along the way, but the real thing was solved so easily? I thought that catching this bug would at least require a fierce fight."
I said, isn't this the best result? I saw beautiful scenery along the way, got the red bugs, and didn't encounter any danger. It can be said to be three blessings.
Zhao Hu touched his head, looked at me and joked: "The main thing is, you see, we have experienced a lot of things before. I am not used to being so safe this time. And with you kid here, I thought I was going to encounter something evil, but in the end I didn't encounter anything, so I would be quite unwilling to go back like this."
Uncle Su also nodded and smiled: "Yeah, I'm a little reluctant, but we have more important things to do next, so let's take it easy. Now that we've got the red bug, let's go back as soon as possible."
The more important thing Uncle Su was talking about was naturally the treasure hunt at sea.
Afterwards, we packed up our things and prepared to return the same way we came.
Just as he was about to leave, Pigtail suddenly pointed in the distance and said, "Look at that, are they those foreigners?"
I turned around and saw that in the gap between a few trees, I could see Mingpu Mountaineering in the distance. Our location was between Wangguan Mountain and Mingpu Mountaineering, so we were considered to be in Mingpu Mountain. Halfway up the mountain without climbing.
At this time, on the unmounted mountain, several figures were gathered around on the snow. One of them was holding his hands high and dancing in a weird posture. It felt like a man who had learned The dancer is making gestures like movements.
If it was that foreign woman, I wouldn't think too much about it. Maybe she was a dancer, and then she got excited when she climbed to a high-altitude snow-capped mountain, and she started dancing happily.
It's a pity that the person making the gesture was obviously very tall and the tallest man in the foreign team. It was really strange for a big man to make such a weird gesture.
Others obviously noticed this. Zhao Hu also asked: "Why have they climbed to such a high place? What is the dancing person doing?"
Little Pigtail said: "It's not too cold, why don't you stretch your muscles?"
His words made us laugh. When Xiao Zhuzi saw us all laughing, he naturally realized that his idea was ridiculous, and then he touched his head and smiled sheepishly.
After Uncle Su frowned for a moment, he suddenly said seriously: "He must be performing some special ceremony."
Rob Dundup looked at it for a moment, and then shouted with shock: "That's the hand dance of living sacrifices! It's a very ancient ritual. When I was a child, I saw the elders doing this hand dance, and I also learned a little from others, but It’s not very similar to what I learned.”
While talking, Norbu Dundup also performed a similar hand dance for us. It looked similar to what foreigners do on the snow-capped mountains, but Norbu Dundup's movements seemed more comical.
"Human sacrifice hand dance?" Uncle Su asked, "Using human sacrifice?"
