At dawn the next day, Huan Xin packed her bags. After breakfast, I was walking out with Taoist Master Jia.
At this time, I happened to meet Li Muyuan who had just gotten up. Li Muyuan looked at Huan Xin who was about to go out, then looked at his watch and asked with some confusion: "Brother, where are you going so early?"
Huan Xin also greeted Li Muyuan enthusiastically and said, "Brother Li, I'm leaving now. I'll see you next time when I have the chance."
Li Muyuan asked without thinking too much: "Where are you going? If not, you can come with us today. Anyway, we are also here to climb mountains in Kunlun, so we have someone to take care of us together."
Huan Xin smiled euphemistically and shook her head. Then she just said goodbye by fate and left with Daozhang Jia. Li Muyuan on the steps not only stared deeply at Huan Xin's leaving figure, he couldn't see through this young man, and kept wondering in his heart what he was doing here. After thinking about it for a long time, I had no idea, so I turned around and went to wash up.
Huan Xin followed Taoist Jia for a long time. When the sun was three poles high, Taoist Jia, who was speechless all the way, stopped, pointed at the majestic snow-capped mountains in front of him and said, "This is the Yuzhu Peak, which echoes the Yuxu Peak."
Then he turned around and handed a bag of parcels to Huan Xin and said, "There is some dry food in here that should be enough to hold you up. If you go further south, you will see a place the size of a cave. It will be much closer if you go in from there. You will see a military station on Yuzhu Peak, guarded by soldiers. You tell them where you want to go, and they will let you go. The old Taoist will send you here, and we will leave here."
After that, the old Taoist made a Taoist gesture towards Huan Xin. Huanxin listened to Daozhang Jia's instructions attentively, then bowed sincerely to express her gratitude, took the package from Daozhang Jia, and watched Daozhang Jia walk away.
After a while, Huan Xin was the only one left at the foot of the silent Yuzhu Peak. At this time, Huan Xin was still a little nervous. After all, this was his first time going out, not to mention it was still the uninhabited land of Kunlun.
Seeing the sun slanting towards the west, Huan Xin stopped and walked along the way. After all, if the altitude of the plateau was so high, an ordinary person would have been unable to hold on long ago. Fortunately, Huan Xin now has the ability to concentrate, and he circulated Tao power throughout his body. , to ensure the normal circulation of blood throughout the body and avoid altitude sickness.
When he was about to climb Mount Yuzhu, he found a military station at a twisting and turning point. The soldiers on guard also spotted him immediately. The soldiers were also stunned, and then they nervously picked it up and shouted to Huan Xin. Said: "Stop, what are you doing?"
Huan Xin also raised his hands in panic, approached the soldier and said to him: "Kunlun forbidden area, no one is allowed to enter."
Huan Xin quickly explained: "Hello, Brother Bing, I am going to Beiming."
The soldier on the side carefully observed the movements of the person in front of him, sweating from the gun in his hand. Maybe he had never met an outsider in all the years he had been stationed here. After hearing the person speaking, he immediately yelled: "What?" Beiming, we don’t have this place here, this is a restricted area, please return the way you came.”
Just as Huan Xin was chatting with the soldiers on guard, an older soldier came out. He was stunned when he saw the young man wearing a black sports coat, jeans, and travel shoes. He remembered that he had met an outsider last time. When he was a new soldier, he seemed to have guessed why this young man came here. So he walked forward and shouted loudly: "What are you making noise about? Don't you know this is a restricted area?"
Before approaching, he looked at the young man in front of him and asked, "Why are you here? What is your purpose?"
"I'm going to Beiming." Huan Xin explained quickly.
When the veteran heard this, his body suddenly shook. He pulled the soldier standing guard aside and whispered in his ear. After a while, the veteran came back and said to the young man in front of him: "It's getting late now. Are you here?" Have a night's rest and understand before leaving! What's your name?"
Huanxin showed a relieved smile and replied politely: "My name is Qi Huanxin."
"Qi Huanxin, okay, come in with me." The veteran muttered, and then led Huanxin into the military station.
It is said to be a military station, but it is actually just two houses. However, it is not easy to build such a house in the hinterland of Kunlun. After entering the house, the veteran poured a cup of hot water for Huan Xin. Huan Xin quickly took the cup with thanks and drank it in large gulps. After a cup of hot water, Huan Xin felt comfortable all over.
"Veteran, how long have you been stationed here?" Huan Xin asked curiously.
The veteran thought thoughtfully for a while and said, "It's been almost twenty years! But I'm about to retire. How many more years can I hold on?"
Qingxin asked in confusion: "Then this place is deserted and covered with snow all year round. Why are you guarding it?"
The veteran heard this and replied sternly: "This is also a part of the motherland. Behind it is the Kunlun restricted area. Someone must be guarding it."
Huan Xin was immediately in awe of the veteran in front of him. As he spoke, a pair of soldiers walked in from outside. Everyone was stunned when they saw the strange young man. Then a soldier said to the veteran: "Report to the squad leader, the patrol is over. Everything, everything is fine.”
The soldier who reported the report looked at the out-of-place young man in front of him from time to time.
The old squad leader nodded and introduced to the soldiers: "This is our guest. Don't ask any more questions. Hurry up and make a fire to cook. Take out our inventory and order some food. We will improve the food tonight."
The soldiers all showed happy smiles, and after they were dismissed, everyone hurriedly went to dinner.
The veteran turned back and said to Huan Xin with a smile: "The conditions here are difficult, and the supply troops can only come up once a month, so we often have to save some food. We haven't had outsiders come here for a long time, and today is just the time to improve."
For dinner, there was a large pot of stew on the table, and there was also a lot of meat. The old squad leader even asked him to cut half a chicken. Looking at the steaming meal, the soldiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva and scream. I saw in my heart that each of these warriors had the unique red cheeks of the plateau, and they became a little restless. They are all of the same age, but some are enjoying happiness in the city, while others are guarding in this cold desert. I want to ask who in this world They are the cutest people, and they must be the soldiers in front of them.
The old squad leader happily said loudly, "Let's eat."
The soldiers began to eat in an orderly manner. At first, Huan Xin was a little embarrassed. Later, under the care of the old squad leader, he also started eating. He felt that the meal was very delicious. It was more than 5,000 meters above sea level. I feel really happy to be able to eat hot meals in such a place. I also pay the highest respect to the soldiers who stick here. I also feel that there are such soldiers guarding these more than 9.6 million square kilometers. Every inch of mountains and rivers is a blessing.
