The valley where the Achik River is located is called the Achik River Valley. Compared with the winding and long valleys of the Baiyu River and Moyu River Valley, the Achik River Valley that has just entered the Kunlun Mountains is not only very short, but also straight, and the valley is relatively wide. It is estimated that it is nearly 200 meters wide.

Although there are mountains on both sides of the valley with an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, the bottom of the valley is quite flat, so there are still many village branches in the valley.

In fact, from the beginning of approaching the Achik River, the villages and fields along the river have been continuous along the way.

Although the Aqik River is not big and is also a seasonal river, the amount of water is still abundant when there is water in the river, which is enough to form an oasis along the river within a few hundred meters along the two sides of the river.

So along the way, a series of small villages such as Yagmati, Iklar, Naymati, Yuqimazha, and Kakrata are like strings of beads distributed on both sides of the Aqik River. In fact, these villages are not complete natural villages, but should be a group in a natural village, because at most there are more than a dozen families in each group.

After entering the Achik Valley, there are still many small villages, and compared to outside the mountains, the dirt roads in the valley are much flatter.

The convoy of these three cars is very interesting to the villagers living in the village. Some children are running with the car, and their joyful voices are sprinkling all the way...

In the river valley, besides the villages on both sides of the river, there are farmlands that have been reclaimed. In fact, there is very little precipitation in the entire Kunlun Mountain, especially in the middle section of Kunlun Mountain where Hotan is located, which is even less precipitation than that of the large desert.

Due to the terrain, the area below 5,000 meters above sea level has a year of only a pitiful 20 millimeters, so it is really very, very difficult for local farmers to reclaim a piece of arable land.

Although it is already April, the temperature here is still relatively low. However, on the steep hillsides on both sides of the river valley, the originally yellow grass has begun to turn slightly green. It will not be until next month that these wild grasses all over the mountains will return to green, showing their vigorous vitality to nature.

This is almost the driest part of the entire Kunlun Mountains, so there is almost no shrub on the hillside, only the wild grasses all over the mountains.

However, because there are rivers in the valley, you can see many trees. Because the valley shelters from the wind, the leaves of these trees look motionless, like fake trees made of plastic.

After entering the valley, walking along the dirt road for about less than two kilometers, the dirt road ahead disappeared, and the valley became narrower and the farmland disappeared.

Wang Changyou said: "This group is the most reliable group in the village. There are seven families in total, all of which are Tibetans. We can park our cars here and walk into the mountain."

The arrival of three cars made the seven families open the doors one after another, and the old, young, men and women all went out. It seemed that they had never seen such a high-end imported off-road vehicle as Mitsubishi Pajero. Among the thirty people, some people gathered at the doors of each family and did not dare to move forward. Only one old man with gray hair and wearing traditional Tibetan costumes walked forward.

Yang Jing followed Wang Changyou's instructions and parked the car in an open space similar to a yard. Wang Changyou got out of the car quickly, and then smiled and greeted the old man standing in front. Yang Jing took out two packs of things from the car and then got out of the car and followed slowly. Several tall and big bodyguards also got out of the car with some things in their hands and followed Yang Jing.

Obviously, the old man recognized Wang Changyou, and enthusiastically hugged Wang Changyou, and then started to talk with a smile. However, Yang Jing couldn't understand what they were saying. Liu Changchuan on the side said: "This is Tibetan, I can understand a little bit."

Seeing Wang Changyou pointing at him and saying something to the old man, Yang Jing knew that he should come forward.

He walked up, and then Wang Changyou said in Chinese: "Mr. Smith, this old man is the leader of this group. His name is Tashi Tsering. He is over 60 years old this year and has a high prestige in the village. I have explained to him the purpose of our coming here. He has promised us to put the cars here and take care of these cars for us."

When Yang Jing heard these words, he bowed slightly to the old man politely, and then said in standard Mandarin: "A kind elder, on behalf of my team, I would like to thank you for your support for us. Here are some small gifts I have brought. I hope you and your relatives and friends will like it."

As he said that, Yang Jing waved his hands at the bodyguards. Several bodyguards quickly took the things in their hands, and Yang Jing also put out the things in his hands.

Tashi Tsering obviously could understand Mandarin, and he could speak Mandarin, but it was very unstandard.

"Dear guests, you don't have to be so polite. We are very welcome to come to us. Let's go into the house and talk." The old man Tashi Tsering did not take these gifts, and he could not accept these gifts alone, so he took Yang Jing and the others to his house.

Wang Changyou whispered: "Mr. Smith, your gift has been favored by Tashi Tseren, and he welcomes you very much."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "It's not a big deal about the etiquette. Although I am a foreigner, I still understand this principle. By the way, why are you so familiar with the people here?"

"Mr. Smith, the last time I came here was half a month ago. I had to come here four or five times a year to do our business. We almost all know the Tibetans in the mountains."

Although this is a bit arrogant, the hard work behind it is also revealed.

After entering Tashi Ciren's home, Yang Jing realized that the house was not very good from the outside, but the decorations inside were still very orderly. The most important thing is that the house was very clean.

After several bodyguards put the gift in, they went out. Several young men who were originally standing outside the door walked into the house carefully and stood in a corner of the house and looked at Yang Jing, as if they were very interested in this blonde and blue-eyed foreigner.

Yang Jing opened six bags and revealed the gifts inside. In fact, there was nothing valuable, all of them were purchased from the Hotan area when Yang Jing was preparing to go into the mountain.

Tea, salt, candy, chocolate, some books and pencils and other stationery.

Yang Jing knew that Tibetans were not short of meat, but they valued tea and salt very much. As for candies, chocolates and stationery, they were all prepared for children.

Sure enough, as soon as these things were revealed, not only did Tashi Tsiren smile with satisfaction, but the men who followed him also started to whisper in surprise.

If it were thirty years later, people would definitely not look down on these things, but now, these things are equivalent to the New Year.

Gifts are second, the key is that Yang Jing's attitude has won the favor of these simple Tibetans.

So, although it was only around nine o'clock in the morning, Tashi Ciren said that he would not let Yang Jing and the others go, and insisted on leaving them here for lunch.

Yang Jing was determined not to eat this lunch. After all, it was not easy for these Tibetans to do, and it was still early. If you delayed half a day for this lunch, to be honest, it would be a bit unprofitable.

However, Wang Changyou and Liu Changchuan reminded Yang Jing tactfully, saying that it would be best to agree to the invitation of Tsering Tseren. In the customs of Tibetans, people send out invitations. If you don’t stay, it means you don’t respect them. Anyway, it’s a bad idea not to stay.

In desperation, Yang Jing had to stay.

What Yang Jing did not expect was that at noon, the old man called so many people, not only the seven families in this group, but also the group downstream of the river valley, the old man photographed a man riding a horse to greet him. At noon, more than twenty men came, and more than ten women came to help.

It was so good now that there were several tables for the meal at noon...

The wine is barley wine, and the tea is ghee tea. As for the food, it is large pieces of stewed yak meat, stewed stewed pork ribs, stewed mutton...

When those Tibetans came, Yang Jing also saw the ingredients they carried and knew that this meal must be made up by at least a dozen families. In this era, living conditions were far less than that of later generations. If a lunch in such a big scene was not as good as that of a dozen families, they would not be able to get so many ingredients.

Yang Jing was actually very sorry for these simple Tibetans, so he quietly pulled Wang Changyou aside and took out a full 2,000 US dollars in cash.

"Mr. Wang, this meal at noon cannot cost these simple Tibetans the money. You must let the old man Tseren of Tashi. I don't care what you use. Otherwise, I will not invest in Hotan!"

Yang Jing said this a bit ruthlessly, so Wang Changyou naturally had no choice but to quietly pull the old man aside again. After some persuasion, the old man finally took the money off.

Since the old man received the money, Yang Jing would not have any psychological burden when he ate or drank. In addition, these simple Tibetans are indeed very generous, and these authentic Tibetan foods are indeed very authentic, which makes Yang Jing also exclaimed his index finger.

Come on, big bowls of wine and big pieces of meat, let’s have a big mouthful!

As a result, I couldn't control my drinking. The enthusiastic Tibetans came over to toast Yang Jing with big bowls. Yang Jing's enthusiasm also came up. Everyone came. Isn't it just a drink? Anyway, I have not really had a happy drink when I traveled through this time and space this time. I had drunk with the leaders before, to be honest, I really didn't drink here!

Since that's the case, then have a good meal this time!
