The wolves disappeared into the darkness. It was unknown whether they went to hunt somewhere else or hid nearby waiting for an opportunity to strike.

When He Jingxian saw that the wolves had disappeared, she jumped back into the truck and said:

"That's how it ends? The wolves are satisfied with just a few pieces of meat? Isn't that too simple?"

"You wishful thinking, this is not just a matter of a few pieces of meat.

Wolves are suspicious and cunning animals, and generally will not actively attack opponents whose strength they are unsure of.

If you encounter a wolf, don't turn around and run. The faster you run, the faster you die.

You must stay calm. The less afraid you appear, the more cautious the wolf will be. Then the wolf will hesitate and try.

The guy that jumped up just now was a test from the wolves. I slapped him down, and they won't attack rashly.

Then give them meat and they won't think you did it out of fear.

So, it was a palm and some meat that made them leave.

But wolves are cunning, so it's hard to say whether they've really left or are hiding and looking for a chance to bite us."

Zhang Xudong looked at his watch and saw that it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, so he asked He Jingxian to go back to her room to sleep.

Zhang Xudong didn't enter the space. It would be inappropriate for them to sleep there together. He stayed on duty in the cab.

Zhang Xudong meditated all night and got out of the car at dawn. He stretched his body and started boxing.

He Jingxian, who had slept all night, also left the space. Looking at the crimson patch of sky and earth in the east, she excitedly shouted, "Zhang Xudong, look at the sunrise! It's so beautiful!"

Zhang Xudong stopped and looked at the girl reflected in the morning light, feeling a little dazed.

In the rosy glow of the eastern sky, it seemed like a long time, and also like just a moment, the sun emitting thousands of golden rays was suspended on the top of a distant mountain.

In an instant, the clouds in the sky seemed to be rimmed with gold, and the mountains, rivers, and trees in the distance seemed to be coated with a layer of shining golden armor.

Everything in the world seems to be endowed with spirituality in this golden glow.

Zhang Xudong felt as if his whole body was enveloped by a warmth.

It seeped into his body through his skin, warming his internal organs. Zhang Xudong suddenly felt a sense of comfort, an indescribable feeling.

This wonderful feeling came and went quickly. Perhaps it was just a few seconds or even a dozen seconds before Zhang Xudong woke up from his trance.

He Jingxian was already burning the car, and Zhang Xudong didn't dare to delay any longer. He went back to the space to wash his face and sat in the passenger seat.

Zhang Xudong casually filled his stomach, and He Jingxian started the car and drove west.

Their luck was pretty good. After running for more than two hours, herds of cattle and sheep appeared on the hillside in front of their left.

He Jingxian excitedly slapped the steering wheel and accelerated towards the hillside.

It looked not far away, but the car took half an hour to get close to the herd of cattle and sheep.

Zhang Xudong saw two herdsmen riding horses towards the car, so he asked He Jingxian to stop. He jumped out of the car and walked towards the herdsmen.

A young herdsman stayed not far away, looking at Zhang Xudong warily.

Another older herdsman approached Zhang Xudong and jumped off his horse.

Zhang Xudong saw that the herdsman was wearing an old Tibetan robe, with a Tibetan knife on his waist and a rifle on his back. He looked to be in his fifties.

Zhang Xudong quickly took off his hat and bowed deeply to the old man.

Tibetan compatriots attach great importance to etiquette. If you want to get help from others, you must first respect them.

Zhang Xudong didn't understand Tibetan, but fortunately the herdsman could speak some Chinese.

Through the communication between the two people, both verbally and with gestures, Zhang Xudong finally understood his current position.

The old Tibetan man, named Tashi Tsering, told Zhang Xudong that they had now entered Nie County and that the mountain not far to their north was the Tanggula Mountains.

They now have to walk more than 80 miles to the west to reach the road to Lhasa.

Going south for a little over a hundred miles, you will reach Nie County, and from Nie County, another two hundred miles south, you will reach Nashi. From Nashi, there is also a road to Lhasa.

But the old herdsman told Zhang Xudong that it would be better not to go west along the Tanggula Mountains.

Because there were horse bandits in the mountains near the highway, a medical team was attacked by them a few days ago. I heard that two escorting soldiers were injured.

Zhang Xudong asked the old man if they were not afraid of the horse bandits?

The old man patted the gun on his back and said that this gun was used to deal with horse bandits.

The horse bandits were all thugs of the former lords and escaped from Lhasa a few months ago.

There were only seven or eight horse bandits, but their mutual aid group had more than thirty herders with guns, and the other villagers were scattered in the surrounding pastures, so the bandits didn't dare to provoke them.

These horse bandits are not short of gold, silver, food and drink. They just launch a surprise attack when there are few people passing by and then run away. Their purpose is purely revenge and to cause trouble.

Zhang Xudong thanked the herdsman and gave him a pound of fine salt as a gift. He left with the old man's grateful gaze.

Zhang Xudong returned to the car and told He Jingxian what he had learned.

He Jingxian made a decision immediately after hearing what Zhang Xudong said.

"Brother Dong, let's go west. In this way, we can reach the highway in an hour. This highway should be the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.

It would take just over a day to reach the military region along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway. If we head south, trekking through this rugged wilderness, it would probably be dark by the time we reach Nie County.

As for those horse bandits, they are lucky not to encounter us. If they do, we will destroy them."
