It is not empty talk to let God decide where to go next.

Naiguang can go in three directions. Generally speaking, it is necessary to analyze which way is better to hide and more convenient, and which city will have a lower consumption level in the future, but Qiao Nan does not intend to do this.

They will analyze and the kidnappers will analyze as well, so let God decide not to analyze at all.

The car drove all the way to the fork in the road, and Qiao Nan took out the twig that he picked up just now and handed it to Fei Jiao.

"Wherever the branch stops on the road, we will go on that road."

Fei Jiao took it, but did not act immediately. She asked Qiao Nan, "Where do these three roads lead?"

Hearing this, Qiao Nan knelt down and picked up a stone from the side to explain to Fei Jiao.

"One way to the southwest, you can go all the way around the Nyainqentanglha Mountains, from Nagqu to Lhasa."

"One way to the north, you can enter Qinghai through the Beijing-La Line, go to the Tanggula Mountain Town on the Northwest Ring Road for rectification, and then head east all the way to Gansu."

"One to the southeast, take the Chengna Line and the 302 Provincial Highway through the West View Line, and enter Shangri-La, Yunnan."

Fei Jiao's eyes fell on the ground, and Qiao Nan quickly set up three criss-crossing routes on the concrete floor with the sharp white stones.

Every item was extremely unfamiliar to her, even if Qiao Nan explained it to her in detail, it would at most make her understand one percent from zero.

She held her chin, and her eyes fell from the ground to Qiao Nan's hand again.

Qiao Nan's hands are very white, not at all white like someone who has been running around on the road all year round. The fingertips are covered with a thick layer of calluses, representing her past.

"Which road is the most difficult to walk, and which road is the best?" Fei Jiao then asked.

Qiao Nan explained conscientiously, "The first road is short and has the lowest altitude drop. The destination is Lhasa, the most prosperous city in Tibet, with the highest safety factor. The altitude will rise above 5000 meters all the way to Gansu. Rugged, the most difficult, but you can go to see the Yadan landform, the Chaka Salt Lake, and you can go to Dunhuang to see the desert and murals.”

This time, Fei Jiao's gaze slipped past Qiao Nan's serious side face, even if it was just a side face, there was a sense of coldness, and the slender eyelashes fell down, making it difficult to see the expression in her eyes clearly.

But it is really conscientious.

There were still kidnappers who might be chasing after her, but Qiao Nan introduced her travel routes in a serious manner, as if the two of them were really going on a trip.

At first she thought that Qiao Nan was just cold, but the more she got along with her, the more she realized that Qiao Nan was also arrogant. I'm not in a hurry.

Fei Jiao shook the small wooden stick between her index and middle fingers, and asked with a smile, "Qiao Nan, which line do you most want to take?"

"You shouldn't ask me this question." Qiao Nan raised his head, his eyes were calm, "You are the employer, if you don't want to leave it to God, you can make the decision."

"What if I just want to ask you?" Fei Jiao chased after her.

Without much hesitation, Qiao Nan clicked on the first one—the simplest one.

Fei Jiao's eyes flickered slightly, she put the twig on the ground, and turned it with a little effort.

"Then let's see, God let us choose which way."

The branch turned, but Fei Jiao didn't look at the branch, she still looked at Qiao Nan, trying to find some different facial expressions from this man's face.

Unfortunately, to her disappointment, Qiao Nan didn't even change his eyes until the branches stopped turning.

And the branch pointed in the direction of the north.

The most difficult path.

Fei Jiao stood up, and Qiao Nan also stood up.

Fei Jiao went back into the car, Qiao Nan wiped off some of the marks on the ground, and followed her back into the car.

The vehicle started, and thick black fog sprayed out from the rear of the Santana, and it slowly drove north.

Before nightfall, Qiao Nan took Feijiao to Luokaye, which is about 109 kilometers away from National Highway [-].

Loka is also a small town, smaller than the previous cities, and there is not even a hostel.

Before Fei Jiao came in, she worried for a moment whether the two of them would sleep on the street tonight, then turned around and Qiao Nan drove the car into a farmyard.

It was a two-storey stone building built with huge stone bricks, leaving a few windows and a door.

When Santana drove in, the chickens, ducks, sheep, and cattle raised in the courtyard were all yelling in panic.

A woman came out of the gate upon hearing the sound. Her hair was mixed with gray, and she had frost-red dimples that only existed on the plateau. Her hands and feet were strong. She was holding a long wooden stick and waved it around in the courtyard a few times. Silence the noisy animals.

When she glanced at Qiao Nan from the front window of the car, she suddenly laughed, with wrinkles at the end of her eyes, and greeted her in substandard Mandarin, "Qiao Nan? Why are you here?"

Qiao Nan got out of the car, slipped out from the back seat, and handed over a dozen beef jerky, "Aunt Mela, I happened to be passing by with a client."

Meera took the beef, and her eyes fell on Fei Jiao, the co-pilot, with a bit of curiosity mixed in, but still kind.

Fei Jiao also got out of the car. She was just about to open her mouth to say hello to Mela, but there was a bark of dogs behind her, accompanied by the sound of heavy and vigorous steps.

Holding her wrist with one hand, he yanked her aside.

When Fei Jiao stood still, the place she just stood was already occupied by a huge Tibetan mastiff, majestic, even sitting on the ground, it was taller than her waist, panting for breath, staring at her fiercely.

Fei Jiao felt a little scary for no reason.

She stood still and didn't dare to move, as if aware of her uneasiness, Qiao Nan's hand on her wrist changed into a protective gesture of wrapping around her waist, blocking half a step in front of her without a trace.

"Xiaoqi has grown so big." Qiao Nan lowered his head halfway and squeezed the huge dog's head of the Tibetan mastiff, and then pushed it away.

The Tibetan mastiff shook its tail, its dark and vigilant eyes stopped looking at Fei Jiao, and it hopped twice on the spot to rub Qiao Nan's hand.

Meera slapped Xiaoqi's big head with a slap, and dragged it by the back of its neck to invite the two of them into the room.

The small building made of stone covered up the noise outside. Meila served two cups of milk tea for the two of them, and went to the kitchen to make tsampa.

Fei Jiao held the hot milk tea to drink, and the salty heat flowed down her throat, dispelling the cold that the two of them felt due to the sudden drop in temperature after nightfall.

"Is this your friend?" Fei Jiao couldn't help asking.

"No," Qiao Nan replied, "She is my master's friend."

This is the first time that Qiao Nan mentioned the people around him in front of Fei Jiao.

Fei Jiao is actually a blank sheet of paper in front of Qiao Nan. Her name is Fei Jiao. She can find out who is in the family and what she does with a search.

But Qiao Nan is extremely mysterious to Fei Jiao. Fei Jiao doesn't know anything about Qiao Nan's past, Qiao Nan's friends and relatives.

However, the relationship between the two has not reached this level. They just met by chance, and Qiao Nan took her to do something. She paid Qiao Nan, and the friendship was considered to be over.

Even though it was true, Fei Jiao couldn't help asking: "Master?"

"Do you think that in this line of work, without a master to lead me in, I can travel all over the world without incident for so many years?"

Qiao Nan gave a rare smile, "There are a lot of ghosts and snakes on this road. At the beginning, no one was protecting me. I'm already gone."

Qiao Nan's world is very novel to Fei Jiao.

Fei Jiao's world is the comfort of a BMW car, while Qiao Nan's world is a snowy adventure. The two completely different worlds are supposed to be parallel but unexpectedly overlap.

But all of this is not as attractive as Qiao Nan's smile just now.

With a bit of nostalgia and melancholy, his eyes are hanging down lazily, and his scattered appearance is particularly beautiful.

Although the two of them seemed relaxed along the way, Fei Jiao knew that Qiao Nan was tense all the time, and it was definitely not as simple as it appeared.

I'm used to Qiao Nan's indifferent expression, it's strange to see her smile at first.

This is much better than the smile that was forced to be pulled out in the hotel that day.

Qiao Nan finished ordering without revealing too much about her past. At this time, Meera also came out with cold beef and tsampa.

The tsampa has a grainy texture with a sweet taste, and the beef has no fishy smell at all. Fei Jiao promises that this is the best meal she has eaten since entering Tibet.

"Why hasn't your master come here to see me these years?" Meera asked suddenly.

Qiao Nan paused with her chopsticks, and then replied: "She has something to do, she has been busy in recent years."

Meila nodded, said a few words in Tibetan, and then enthusiastically served food for the two of them. After eating a big pot of beef, she let the two go.

Tibetans are hospitable, but Fei Jiao, who has never felt this kind of enthusiasm, can't stand it.

She was holding her stomach and wanted to go outside for a walk to digest food, Meera called her to stop, and trotted all the way up to the second floor, and trotted down again, holding a large and thick Tibetan robe in her hand.

Fei Jiao took the clothes and thanked her sincerely.

The temperature difference between day and night is huge, and Fei Jiao's equipment may be damaged by freezing alone.

The Tibetan robe fit unexpectedly, and the hem of the tail extended to the calf, making Feijiao's slender figure stand out.

Qiao Nan followed her and accompanied her out of the stone-built hut. The wind was strong outside, making Fei Jiao's clothes rattle, and all the animals in the yard shrank back to their nests. Xiao Qi snorted at the two of them.

Probably because of the plateau, there are more stars on the top of the zenith than the day Fei Jiao escaped, which is too beautiful to behold.

Fei Jiao subconsciously turned her head to look for Qiao Nan, but only saw a scarlet light spot in the corner. It was Qiao Nan leaning on the haystack and smoking, and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

Fei Jiao walked over slowly, looking for something to say, "Qiao Nan, I seem to be wearing this dress wrong."

"Huh?" Qiao Nan stubbed out the cigarette, bent down to check for her. '

Fei Jiao didn't lie, when she came out she was just wearing a Tibetan robe, she didn't put it on properly, when she approached Qiao Nan, she tied a few belts, it was all wrong.

Qiao Nan's fingers were exceptionally dexterous, and it only took half a minute to pull out and fasten the strap for her.

Fei Jiao obediently stood where she was while Qiao Nan hugged her and tied her belt.

On the side of her face was Qiao Nan's shiny earlobe, Fei Jiao didn't move, she just turned her head.

When Qiao Nan straightened up, something soft and soft brushed against her ear, and she realized what it was only after a while.

She frowned slightly, her eyes fell on Fei Jiao's lips.

The eloquent girl blinked and asked innocently, "What's the matter?"

After finishing speaking, he patted Qiao Nan on the shoulder, and walked lazily into the house while saying, "It's still too cold outside, not as warm as inside."
