Gesang immediately said: "No problem, Mr. Xia, I can be your tour guide for free, no salary......"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "The salary still has to be paid, I not only want to play in the county, but also want to see where your father digs Cordyceps!"

"What's there to see about that place?" asked Gesang puzzled, "It's just some hillsides, and the altitude is high, and there is a possibility of encountering blue wolves, and if it weren't for digging grass, we locals wouldn't want to go." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "I heard you tell the story of digging Cordyceps, and I am very interested in this magical land, so I want to go there and see it with my own eyes." ”

Gesang thought for a while and said, "That's no problem, since Mr. Xia wants to go and see, I'll take you there! I followed my father up the mountain to dig grass two years ago, and I'm very familiar with that place!"

Xia Ruofei nodded with a smile and said, "You are my guide, and I will give you a salary of five hundred yuan a day." ”

Gesang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, Mr. Xia, if you are willing to buy my family's cordyceps, you have already done us a great favor, and I don't dare to charge you for showing the way." ”

"If you give it to you, you will take it, why can't you make money by labor?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Besides, I bought hundreds of thousands of cordyceps, do you think I will be short of those hundreds of yuan?"

Gesang nodded and said, "Okay then! Thank you, Mr. Xia."

Xia Ruofei touched Gesang's head and said, "Let's go! Your father is still waiting at home!"

The two soon returned to Gesang's house.

Xia Ruofei looked at the bag of cordyceps again, and after weighing the weight, he happily took out the 176,000 yuan wrapped in a plastic bag.

After the father and son clicked twice to confirm that it was correct, Solang Renzeng said happily: "Mr. Xia, thank you for taking care of our business!"

Gesang was also very happy: "Great, Mr. Xia, my father's leg is finally healed with money, thank you!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's because your cordyceps is of good quality, we are a fair trade, and we don't need to thank anyone." ”

Gesang scratched his head and laughed.

Then he immediately remembered Xia Ruofei's matter, and hurriedly told his father in Tibetan.

After hearing this, Suo Lang Renzeng also felt that Xia Ruofei's request was a little strange, but this was the privacy of the guests, since Gesang had agreed, he did not object, and the real Tibetan men were all good at their word and very trustworthy.

Moreover, in the past few years, Gesang has followed him up the mountain to dig grass every year, and he is very familiar with the terrain in that area, and he can avoid general dangers.

He was a little worried about Xia Ruofei's safety, after all, Xia Ruofei didn't look like a tall and strong person, and it was impossible for outsiders to see what terrifying energy was hidden in Xia Ruofei's somewhat thin body.

Therefore, Suo Lang Renzeng also persuaded Xia Ruofei a few words, but Xia Ruofei insisted on going to see it, and he could only reluctantly agree.

Gesang immediately went to make preparations for the trip, he was still a teenager, he didn't feel anything about following his father up the mountain before, but this time he was Xia Ruofei's guide, and that feeling was completely different.

It's like a young eagle is finally about to spread its wings and fly solo.

Xia Ruofei also got up to say goodbye to Suo Lang Rinzeng - he heard Gesang say that the traditional Cordyceps sinensis production area is still not a short distance away from the county seat, so he made an appointment with Gesang to meet at the entrance of the alley for a while, and he went to rent a car first.

Finding the only car rental company in the county, Xia Ruofei submitted his driver's license, paid the deposit with his credit card, and successfully got a fully fueled Toyota SUV - in the mountains of Tibet, the SUV is far more practical than ordinary cars.

When Xia Ruofei drove to the alley near Gesang's house, Gesang was already waiting there with a big backpack on his back, and he was still carrying a bundle of ropes, and his face was full of excitement that he was about to go on an adventure.

Xia Ruofei pressed the horn twice Gesang immediately spotted him, hurriedly ran over, put the big backpack and rope into the back seat, and then sat in the passenger seat excitedly.

Under the guidance of Gesang, Xia Ruofei quickly drove away from the county seat and drove towards the traditional Cordyceps sinensis production area.

Compared with the dangerous Sichuan-Tibet Highway, the road condition of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is not bad, but the continuous high altitude will make most outsiders feel a little uncomfortable, and even locals will feel a little uncomfortable breathing.

But Xia Ruofei was completely unaffected, he drove comfortably, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way.

Originally, Gesang was worried that Xia Ruofei would have a violent altitude reaction, and turned his head from time to time to observe his condition, but after the car drove for a while, Gesang found that Xia Ruofei did not seem to be affected by the high altitude at all, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The mountain tops in the distance are covered with snow all year round, and the lakes beside the road are already full of life, and the almost unpolluted plateau scenery makes Xia Ruofei feel refreshed.

Gesang guided Xia Ruofei to drive to the foot of a mountain.

The mountain does not look steep, and the slopes are relatively gentle, but even at the foot of the mountain there are more than 4,000 meters above sea level, so there is an invisible danger hidden under the seemingly calm appearance.

Gesang pointed to the mountain and said, "Mr. Xia, this is the main production area of Cordyceps sinensis in Naqu, and that hillside and several mountains stretching to the west are the places where my father and them dig Cordyceps sinensis all year round. ”

Xia Ruofei drove the car off the road, came to a place as close to the foot of the mountain as possible, and stopped, and said with a smile: "Then let's climb up and have a look!"

Gesang also nodded a little excitedly, picked up the rope and backpack, and walked quickly to lead the way.

Soon the two began to climb the mountain, this slope does not look very steep at the foot of the mountain, but in fact it is not as gentle as Xia Ruofei imagined, coupled with the high altitude factor, even Gesang, a local, is a little out of breath after climbing for a while.

And Xia Ruofei didn't seem to be affected, and his steps were still very powerful.

At this time, the harvesting season of Cordyceps sinensis has just passed, and it is the season when this land is resting, and the bat moth lays eggs and larvae hatch, so there are no other Tibetans in the entire Cordyceps production area.

There are also wind horse flags left by Tibetans on the hillside, which is also a unique scenery in Tibet, since Xia Ruofei entered Tibet, he has seen this kind of white, yellow, red, green and blue prayer flags on the roadside countless times.

The wind on the mountain is very strong, and these prayer flags are swaying with the wind, which looks very spectacular.

Gesang panted while climbing the mountain: "Mr. Xia, you can already find traces of Cordyceps in this area, but the altitude here is not high enough, so the quality of Cordyceps is not as good as the above." ”

Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Then let's continue to go up and have a look!"

Gesang couldn't help but be speechless for a while-he, a local, was already so tired that his legs and feet were weak, but Xia Ruofei was like a nobody, he couldn't see a trace of fatigue at all, this physical fitness was too good!

However, since Gesang agreed to Xia Ruofei to be this guide, and Xia Ruofei advanced today's day's salary when he set off, he naturally wanted to meet the employer's requirements as much as possible.

So Gesang also gritted his teeth and continued to climb.

Gesang said a little breathlessly: "Mr. Xia, when my father and other grass diggers are looking for Cordyceps, they all bend down and climb up little by little, and sometimes they need to kneel on the ground, because the exposed part of Cordyceps is only a very small point, even if it is an experienced grass digger, it needs to be very serious to not miss it." ”

Xia Ruofei really arrived at the cordyceps production area, and only then did he realize the hard work of the grass diggers. After all, there are very few people with super physical strength like him, and even if those Tibetans were born and raised, it must be very hard to find Cordyceps in such a high-altitude mountain.

Xia Ruofei said: "It's really not easy!"

Gesang said: "Yes, my legs are sore and numb at the end of the day, and most of the grass diggers have severe leg rheumatism, which is caused by kneeling and lying on their stomachs for a long time looking for Cordyceps. ”

As he spoke, Gesang pointed to a small pit not far from his feet, and said, "Mr. Xia, look...... There used to be a cordyceps growing here, which was found and dug up by the grass diggers. ”

As he spoke, Gesang knelt down, leaned very low, took out a small shovel from the side of his backpack and carefully shoveled away the soil, and said: "There used to be a cordyceps sinensis in this pit, and after the grass diggers dug up the cordyceps, they would put back some barley and rice with blessings and prayers, which is their special feeling for the land......

Xia Ruofei took a closer look, and he could really see grains of rice and barley in the small soil pit.

He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable - he had spent so much effort to find the production area of Cordyceps in the snowy region, and he was trying to simulate such an ecosystem in his own space, which would inevitably require the soil from this side.

Because only the soil and vegetation here carry the most authentic hyphae and bat moth eggs or larvae.

In this way, these lands will definitely be moved, although Xia Ruofei will not need a large amount, and it is far from destroying the ecosystem here, but compared with the piety of those Tibetan grass diggers, Xia Ruofei is a little embarrassed.

Gesang took Xia Ruofei to continue walking, along the way he also explained to Xia Ruofei the plants he saw, and naturally he would encounter bat moths on the way, Xia Ruofei took note of the appearance of bat moths very carefully, and there were some insect eggs hanging on grass blades, Gesang would also carefully avoid them.

Before they knew it, it had been three or four hours since the two of them went up the mountain.

Xia Ruofei and Gesang sat on a high stone to rest, and the two of them ate dry food with mineral water, and the unique beauty of the plateau was as far as the eye could see.

Xia Ruofei had already figured out the situation here, and the two began to go down the mountain after eating.

Gesang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief - his physical energy was also extremely depleted, it was not the first time he had come here, but he had always followed his father and other grass diggers before, and every time he walked slowly, and he also stopped and went, after all, they still had to dig Cordyceps, but this time he almost climbed such a long mountain road in one go, and he couldn't bear it.

Back at the foot of the mountain, the two took the car and returned to Nagqu County.

Xia Ruofei sent Gesang to the alley near his house, took out five hundred yuan and handed it to him, and said, "Gesang, thank you for accompanying me to enjoy the most beautiful plateau scenery today, this is your salary." ”

Gesang hurriedly excused himself and said, "Mr. Xia, I only served you as a guide for half a day, so you don't need so much money!"

Xia Ruofei smiled, stuffed the money into Gesang's hand, and said, "You have worked very hard today, and the extra money will be considered a tip I gave you!"

Xia Ruofei saw that Gesang was still hesitating, and said with a smile: "Gesang, this money is not much, you can just keep it! I may have to go back to the southeast in the next two days." ”

"Ah, Mr. Xia, aren't you still going to visit Nagqu County?" asked Gesang with some surprise.

Xia Ruofei said: "I feel that I have experienced the most authentic Tibetan mountain scenery today, and I want to get back the cordyceps I bought as soon as possible!"

Speaking of this, Xia Ruofei waved his hand at Gesang and said, "Gesang, thank you for being my guide, let's leave it at that!

After speaking, Xia Ruofei stepped on the accelerator and drove away from the alley.

He didn't go to return the car, but drove directly to the Naqu Hotel, and after returning to the room, he went to the bathroom to take a shower, washed off the dust on his body, and then slept beautifully, until nightfall, he got up in good spirits.

After an afternoon of rest, Xia Ruofei's state has been adjusted to the best.

He went downstairs to a food stall near the hotel for a Tibetan-style dinner, then returned to the hotel parking lot, picked up the rented Toyota SUV, and drove out of Nagqu County.

Xia Ruofei's destination was the mountainous area that Gesang had taken him to this morning.

He remembered the road very well, and came to the foot of the hill where he had stopped in the morning.

Xia Ruofei got out of the car, at this time he was wearing a jacket and hiking shoes, dressed professionally outdoors, but he did not carry heavy equipment like ordinary travelers.

With the Lingtu space in hand, Xia Ruofei didn't need anything like a mountaineering bag at all.

As soon as he flipped his hand, a bright flashlight appeared out of thin air in his palm.

After turning on the flashlight, Xia Ruofei began to climb the mountain along the morning route.

Generally speaking, the quality of Cordyceps will be better at higher altitudes.

So Xia Ruofei was ready to go to a higher place.

There was no Gesang by his side, and Xia Ruofei didn't need to deliberately control his speed, he was almost twice as fast as when he climbed the mountain in the morning, and more than an hour later, Xia Ruofei had already arrived at the highest altitude that the two of them had reached at that time.

However, Xia Ruofei did not stop, but after observing the mountain, he continued to climb upward.

Gesang also said that his father used to dig Cordyceps at an altitude of about 6,000 meters above sea level.

Xia Ruofei held a flashlight in one hand, and pushed away some tall weeds from time to time with the other, and continued to march to a higher height.

After advancing for about half an hour, Xia Ruofei suddenly stopped, with a strange look on his face.

Because, he suddenly felt that the leaf-shaped jade pendant he had been hanging on his body seemed to emit a warm breath......
