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

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "The salary is still to be paid. I not only want to play in the county town, but also think of where your father and the others dig cordyceps!"

"What's so beautiful about that place?" Gesang asked inexplicably, "It's just some hillsides, and the altitude is high, and you may encounter wolves. If it wasn't for digging grass, we locals would not be willing to go. "

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

Gesang thought for a while and said, "That's fine, since Mr. Xia wants to go see it, 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 smiled and nodded and said, "You can be my guide, and I will pay you five hundred yuan a day."

Gesang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no! Mr. Xia, you have already helped us a lot if you are willing to buy my family's Cordyceps sinensis. I don't dare to collect money for showing you the way."

"You can take it if you give it to you. What's wrong with you earning money from your labor?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Besides, I have bought hundreds of thousands of Cordyceps, do you think I'll be short of those hundreds of dollars? That's it. It's gone!"

Gesang had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright 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 came to Gesang's house again.

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

After the father and son ordered twice to confirm that they were correct, Solang Rinzin said happily, "Mr. Xia, thank you for taking care of our business!"

Gesang was also very happy: "That's great, Mr. Xia, my father's leg is finally healed, 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 story, and quickly told his father in Tibetan.

After listening to Solang Renzeng, he also felt that Xia Ruofei's request was a bit strange, but this is the privacy of the guests. Since Gesang has already agreed, he has no objection. The real Tibetan men are very honest and trustworthy. .

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

He is a little worried about Xia Ruofei's safety. After all, Xia Ruofei doesn't look like a tall and strong person. It is impossible for outsiders to see how terrifying energy is hidden in Xia Ruofei's skinny body.

Therefore, Solang 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 made preparations for the trip excitedly. He was still a teenager. He used to follow his father up the mountain without feeling, but this time he was Xia Ruofei's guide, and the feeling was completely different.

Just like a young eagle is finally about to spread its wings and fly alone.

Xia Ruofei also got up and said goodbye to Solang Rinzin. He heard that Gesang said that the traditional production area of ​​Cordyceps sinensis is still a long way from the county, so he made an appointment with Gesang to meet at the alley, and he went to rent a car first. .

After finding the only car rental agency in the county, Xia Ruofei submitted his driver's license and paid the deposit by swiping his card, and then he successfully got a fully-fueled Toyota off-road vehicle-in the mountainous area of ​​Tibet, off-road vehicles are far more practical than ordinary cars. much more.

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

Xia Ruofei hit the horn twice and Gesang found him immediately, and quickly ran over, put the big backpack and ropes into the back seat, and then got into 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 producing area in Nagqu.

Compared with the dangerous Sichuan-Tibet Highway, the road conditions of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway are not bad, but the continuous high altitude will make most foreigners feel a little uncomfortable, and even locals will feel a little uncomfortable to breathe.

But Xia Ruofei was completely unaffected. He drove the car comfortably and enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way.

Originally, Gesang was worried about Xia Ruofei's severe altitude sickness, so he turned his head to observe his condition from time to time, but after driving for a while, Gesang found that Xia Ruofei didn't seem to be affected by the high altitude at all, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The top of the mountain in the distance is covered with snow all year round, and the lake beside the road is full of life.

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

This mountain does not look steep, and the terrain on the slope is relatively gentle, but even at the foot of the mountain there is an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, so there is an invisible crisis under the seemingly peaceful appearance.

Gesang pointed to the mountain and said, "Mr. Xia, this is the main producing area of ​​Cordyceps sinensis in Nagqu. That hillside and several mountains that stretch to the west are where my father and the others dig for Cordyceps sinensis all the year round."

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

Gesang also nodded excitedly, picked up the rope and backpack, and quickly led the way.

Soon the two began to climb the mountain. The slope at the foot of the mountain did not look very steep, but it was actually not as gentle as Xia Ruofei imagined. Coupled with the high altitude factor, even Gesang, a local, climbed the mountain. I was out of breath for a while.

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

At this time, the harvest season of Naqu Cordyceps sinensis has just passed. It is the time when the land is recuperating, the bat moth lays eggs and the larvae hatch. Therefore, there are no other Tibetans in the entire Cordyceps production area.

There are also wind-horse flags left by Tibetans on the hillside. This is also a unique scenery in the Tibetan area. Since Xia Ruofei entered Tibet, she 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 sway with the wind, which is also very spectacular.

Gesang breathlessly introduced while climbing the mountain: "Mr. Xia, traces of Cordyceps can already be found in this area, but the altitude here is not high enough, so the quality of Cordyceps is not as good as above."

Xia Ruofei laughed and said: "Then let's continue to look up!"

Gesang couldn't help but be speechless for a while - he, a local, was so tired that his legs and feet became weak, but Xia Ruofei was like a normal person, and he couldn't see a trace of fatigue at all, his physical fitness was too awesome!

However, since Gesang promised Xia Ruofei to be the guide, and Xia Ruofei paid today's salary in advance when he set off, he naturally wants to meet the employer's requirements as much as possible.

So Gesang also gritted his teeth and continued to climb up.

Gesang said breathlessly: "Mr. Xia, when my father and other grass diggers were looking for Cordyceps sinensis, they all bent down and climbed up a little bit. The parts are only very small and pointed, and even an experienced grass digger needs to be very careful not to miss it.”

Xia Ruofei really came to the Cordyceps production area, and then he experienced the hard work of grass diggers. After all, there are very few people with super physical strength like him. Even if the Tibetans are born and raised here, it must be very hard to find Cordyceps on such a high altitude mountain.

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

Gesang said: "Yeah! Legs are sore and numb all day, and most of the grass diggers have severe leg rheumatism, which is caused by kneeling and looking for Cordyceps for a long time."

Saying that, Gesang pointed to a small hole not far from his feet, and said, "Mr. Xia, look... there used to be a cordyceps here, and it was found and dug out by the grass diggers."

Saying that, Gesang knelt down, his body was very low, he took out a small shovel from the side of the backpack and carefully shoveled the soil, saying: "There used to be a Cordyceps sinensis in this pit. Put back some highland barley and rice with blessings and prayers, this 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 pit.

He couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable - he spent so much effort to find the Cordyceps production area in Nagqu Snow Region, he just wanted to simulate such an ecosystem in his own space, and he would have to fetch the soil here.

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

In this way, these lands will definitely be moved. Although the amount Xia Ruofei needs will not be very large, and it will not destroy the ecosystem here, but compared with the piety of those Tibetan grass diggers, Xia Ruofei is a little bit more Ashamed.

Gesang took Xia Ruofei to continue to go up. Along the way, he also explained the plants he saw to Xia Ruofei. Naturally, he would also encounter bat moths on the road. Xia Ruofei took down the appearance of bat moths very seriously, and some hung on the grass. Gesang will also carefully avoid them.

Before they knew it, the two had been up the mountain for three or four hours.

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

Xia Ruofei had already figured out the situation here, and after the two finished eating, they started going down the mountain.

Gesang also breathed a sigh of relief—his physical energy was also exhausted. It wasn’t the first time he came here, but he used to be with his father and other grass diggers. Every time he walked slowly, he still walked Stop, after all, they still have to dig for Cordyceps, but this time they have climbed such a long mountain road in one breath, and he can't bear it.

Back at the foot of the mountain, the two picked up 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 accompany me to enjoy the most beautiful plateau scenery today, this is your salary."

Gesang quickly declined 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, put the money into Gesang's hand, and said, "You have worked very hard today, and the extra money can be considered as a tip for you!"

Seeing that Gesang was still hesitating, Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Gesang, the money is not much, just keep it! I may be going back to the southeast in a day or two."

"Ah? Mr. Xia, don't you want to visit Nagqu County?" Gesang asked in surprise.

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

Speaking of which, Xia Ruofei waved at Gesang and said, "Gesang, thank you for being my guide, let's just leave it alone! I'll come to Naqu when there is a chance in the future!"

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

He didn't return the car, but drove directly to the Nagqu Hotel. After returning to his room, he took a shower in the bathroom, washed the dust off his body, and then slept soundly. It was not until night fell that he was in good spirits. get up.

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 and had a Tibetan-style dinner, then returned to the hotel parking lot, picked up the rented Toyota off-road vehicle, and drove out of Nagqu County.

Xia Ruofei's destination was the mountainous area where Gesang brought him this morning.

He remembered the road conditions very clearly and arrived at the foot of the mountain where he stopped in the morning very smoothly.

Xia Ruofei got out of the car. At this time, he was wearing a jacket, hiking shoes, and a professional outdoor dress, but he didn't carry heavy equipment like an ordinary travel buddy.

With the space for the spiritual map in hand, Xia Ruofei doesn't need anything like a mountaineering bag at all.

As soon as he turned 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 is going to go to a higher place.

There is no Gesang by his side, and Xia Ruofei does not need to deliberately control his speed. He is almost twice as fast as when he climbed the mountain in the morning. After more than an hour, Xia Ruofei has arrived at the highest altitude that the two of them reached at that time.

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

Gesang also said that his father once reached an altitude of about 6,000 meters to dig Cordyceps.

Xia Ruofei held a flashlight in one hand, and pushed aside some taller weeds from time to time in the other hand, and continued to advance to a higher height.

After moving forward 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 that he had been hanging on his body seemed to emit a warm breath...
