Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

After Liang Zhao and others joined, although there was not much change in speed, the journey of Chi Yu and others did become a lot more exciting because of the creative ideas of these young people.

Boss Zhao was well taken care of by them, which in disguise liberated Zhang Haike and allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief, but he was not the only one who was able to let himself go.

Chi Yu relied on their habit of being able to disperse and take photos at any time, and every time this happened, he would silently run to a place that was difficult for ordinary people to reach and stare blankly.

This place is sometimes extremely high branches and sometimes rugged rocks.

Chi Yu stood on a high place, looking at the rolling clouds in the sky. Unless it was a call to assemble, he would resolutely turn a deaf ear to the voices below. He isolated the entire group by himself.

Zhang Haike felt helpless about Chi Yu's refusal to communicate.

He sighed and thought, okay, this is another person who can't talk, but at least it's much better than the kind of person who just opens his mouth and likes to say all kinds of garbage. At least he can have some peace and quiet.

Unlike Zhang Haike's depression, Boss Zhao was chatting happily with Liang Zhao and others. He listened to Liang Zhao's introduction and made an appointment to go to other places to have a look after they entered Motuo.

Chi Yu's protection saved everyone from the persecution of insects when they were crossing the dense forest. The glaciers were melting and rushing between the mountains. After everything was over, someone picked out a few beautifully shaped stones from the remaining rubble as souvenirs.

The group walked and stopped many times, spending about a week on the road until they finally entered Motuo. The dry food they had stored was almost used up.

The guide took them to rest in several local Tibetan homes that were willing to host outsiders.

The young people were not picky about the local specialties. They ate and drank to their heart's content with a curious attitude, but they couldn't sit still and chatted away, planning to go for a tour of the Yarlung Zangbo Grand Canyon when daybreak.

"You guys are really similar to the tour group in front. They also walked around here like this before finding people to go into the mountain." A man said with a smile nearby.

He was Zhao Xingyang's previous guide, a native of Motuo. He was not a professional tour guide, but he had just come back from another place and happened to find Zhao Xingyang and the others looking for a guide to Motuo, so he led them for a while along the way. Now that they were in Motuo, the transaction between the two parties was considered to be concluded.

So Zhao Xingyang and others went into the mountains and found other tour guides here. The man didn't know where they went later.

Hearing this, Boss Zhao said, "Ah?" "How long will it take for them to come out? This kid is really something. Why didn't he say wait for Xiao Liang?"

"No one can predict how long it will take to go back and forth," the man said. "To be honest, we don't have much here, but there are a lot of snow-capped mountains. Some snow-capped mountains are not high, and you can walk back and forth in a day, but some snow-capped mountains have long roads that are connected together, and it will take at least ten days or half a month to get out."

"I didn't notice which mountain they climbed, but I remember the direction. They were heading towards the Grand Canyon. If you want to find out about them, you can go and check. But don't go into the mountains on your own. It's easy to get into trouble."

"Are there any other noteworthy attractions near the Grand Canyon?" Liang Zhao asked. "You are a local, so you must know more about it than us foreign tourists who have only heard about it from others."

The man thought for a moment and said, "A place worth noting... Does a Lama Temple count? There is a Lama Temple that has been established for a long time near the Menba Mountain area. Although it is not a tourist area, some people still want to visit it occasionally."

"It's the temple itself. It's usually not open to the public. If you want to see it, you can only take a look at it from the bottom of the mountain."

"Generally speaking, it is not open, which means there are exceptions." Liang Zhao said, "You should know what the exception is if you say so, right?"

"You are a smart girl." The man smiled. "Although the Lama Temple is not open to tourists, the lamas welcome their friends. There is a restaurant at the foot of the mountain, and the owner of the restaurant is their friend."

"But he is always out there serving as a guide, and he only stays in Medog for four months out of the year. If you really want to go up and visit, you can only pray that you are lucky enough."

After saying that, the man glanced out the window, smiled at them and stood up: "Don't bother chatting. I have to go see how the bosses outside are doing. If there is anything missing, I'd better send it over quickly to avoid being neglected."

Boss Zhao put down his cup with a reluctant look on his face and smacked his lips: "Okay, we'll continue our conversation when you come back!"

Whether in terms of popularity or atmosphere, the environment outside is not as lively as that inside.

Apart from the slight coolness brought by the wind coming from the snow-capped mountains, the only sound that could be felt was the "crackling" sound of the charcoal exploding in the furnace.

Zhang Haike took the fire tongs and quietly stirred the charcoal fire. The pottery pot was bubbling. Zhang Haixing took it off the stove, poured himself a cup of steaming butter tea, and sipped it in his hands. Chi Yu sat beside the burning charcoal stove, staring into the distance in a trance.

None of the three spoke. The sky was gloomy, but not completely dark yet. In the distance, the mountains stretched out, and the peaks covered with snow all year round were faintly visible among the clouds.

This was the scene he saw when the man came out to bring food to the three of them.

He didn't want to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere and was about to tiptoe over, put down the plate and leave, but he didn't expect that this plan would be impossible to realize from the beginning.

When three pairs of eyes with different but similar feelings looked at him at the same time, the man stood there stiffly for a moment holding the plate. He was always hospitable, but now he was a little at a loss.

Zhang Haike glanced at Chi Yu, who quickly looked away and continued to be in a daze, then looked at his sister who seemed indifferent to this, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He put on a smiling face, stood up, took the carved plate from the man's hand, glanced at it, and saw that it was tsampa: "Thank you for bringing us food, is there anything else?"

The man waved his hand: "Nothing, I just want to ask the bosses if you need anything so I can bring it to you."

Zhang Haike himself didn't have any needs, but considering that this question was directed at more than just him, he repeated it to the two people sitting there, and got a simple and easy-to-understand response of silence, plus a roll of the eyes from Zhang Haixing.

Zhang Haike: ...

Zhang Haike turned around and said, "No need, we don't need anything here."

"Then call me when you need me." The man said, "By the way, the bosses in the room said they are going to visit the Grand Canyon tomorrow morning, so they asked me to inform the bosses to have a good rest tonight."
