Chapter 1752 The Person Who Sent the Supplies?
Bid farewell to Dario, return to the main road along the path, and continue forward. About half an hour, Yang Cheng and the others vaguely heard euphemistic singing. This should be the mass held by the monastery. With the increase of tourists, these Tibetans The monastery in the Sacred Valley also began to think of ways to generate income. After all, life can be better. Who wants to live in dire straits every day? Even if they are monks!
This is a nunnery, the small church is full of tourists, and the singing of hymns is melodious.
Basically, 99.99% of the tourists who can come here are devout believers. People like Yang Cheng who come here just to find someone may not meet one in decades.
These believers traveled across mountains and rivers just for a mass, which can be regarded as a lifetime wish.
Yang Cheng and the others didn't stay here, he didn't think Gavin would hide in the convent.
A little further on, there is another long-established male monastery. A young priest walked into the chapel alone, knelt in front of the statue of Jesus and prayed fervently for a long time. After the prayer, he kissed Jesus with tears in his eyes. hands, bowed his head and left.
I thought he was a monk living in the Sacred Valley, but after asking, I found out that he was actually a tourist from southern Lebanon. Yang Cheng couldn't help admiring the other party's perseverance. Seeing him crumbling, it seemed that he hadn't had a full meal for a long time dinner.
When they got here, Yang Cheng and the others had already climbed over a mountain, but looking around, there were at least 5 big mountains waiting for them to climb over. At this time, they were in the col of the two mountains. A rest point, people who are tired from walking can set up camp here, a mountain stream is left from the mountain to form a creek and slowly flows into the bottom of the valley.
Yang Cheng squatted down and held the cool stream water with both hands, there was a piercing chill, after getting used to it a bit, the sweet mountain spring water in his mouth instantly drove away the tiredness all over his body, and made his whole body refreshed.
Liu Junyu followed Yang Cheng's example and squatted down to drink water, but she was so cold from the cold water that she wrinkled her face and said, "It's so cold~"
Yang Cheng washed his hands and stood up, and said to Hansen, "This is not the way to go, I can't walk the whole Sacred Valley, I still have to ask someone~"
Hansen looked back at the hill that he had just passed, "We should have only walked one-fifth of the distance, and we are still at the outermost edge of the Sacred Valley. The few monks who asked just now knew nothing about Gavin. .”
Yang Cheng squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, "Yeah, either he has never been here, or he lives in a place with no people in a few kilometers around, and he rarely goes out. Someone may send him daily necessities."
Hansen echoed,
"This possibility is very high~"
Yang Cheng sighed, he could still keep going, but Liu Junyu's physical strength seemed to be hard to hold on~
As if sensing Yang Cheng's worried gaze, Liu Junyu said firmly, "I'm fine, I'm fine~"
Yang Cheng opened his mouth and shook his head, "How about this, let's climb another mountain and ask the monks when we see them. If we haven't harvested anything, we can go back the same way. On the other side, Hansen, you can take someone there and work harder~"
Hansen immediately said, "No problem boss, I will walk all the way here, as long as Gavin is here, I will definitely be able to dig him out!"
"A good tree, the cedar of Lebanon, which the LORD has planted, is full of sap."
The beautiful cedars spoken of in the Bible are actually cedars of Lebanon.
More than 3,000 years ago, the Phoenicians who ruled this land used cedar wood to build ships, so that they could sail unimpeded in the Mediterranean countries and became the most successful businessmen at that time.
In ancient Egypt across the sea from Lebanon, the mysterious pharaoh used cedar to make coffins. He did not hesitate to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to transport these natural cedar wood from Lebanon back to Egypt, and even went to war with the Phoenicians. Get down this precious wood species.
In history, the great temples built in ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Solomon also used cedar wood as the main raw material, which shows how precious it is. It is no wonder that it has become a symbol of Lebanon. In the center of the Lebanese flag, It is a cedar.
In fact, in countries along the Mediterranean Sea such as Turkey and Cyprus, similar cedars also grow. They are close relatives of Lebanese cedars, but Lebanese cedars are so famous that they become the collective name for all cedars along the Mediterranean Sea.
This tall tree used to be all over Lebanon, but after thousands of years of human felling and use, there are only a few tightly isolated protected areas left in the cedar forest covering the whole country, one of which is in the Sacred Valley. There are more than 300 cedar trees growing here.
It is said that the average age of the cedar trees in this reserve has reached 1,500 years old, and some of them are old trees from the Bible era. If calculated according to the Old Testament, they are at least 3,000 years old.
They stopped for a while outside the isolation zone of the reserve, and were about to move forward when an elderly priest walked past Yang Cheng and the others, holding a bag containing mineral water and bread in his hand. Yang Cheng didn't see some other food clearly.
Yang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and called to stop the other party, "Hi priest, are you a monk who is practicing hermit here?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, and he muttered something, Yang Cheng was also stunned. The other party should speak Arabic, but the tone was a little different, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought it was an accent question.
It seemed that the two couldn't communicate normally, so they gave up their positions in desperation, and at the same time made an apologetic gesture with their palms together, indicating that the other party can continue to walk~
The old priest waved his hand and walked in the opposite direction to Yang Cheng, walking along the isolation zone of the cedar reserve.
Hansen leaned over and asked, "Boss, do you doubt him?"
"No, it stands to reason that a hermit should be self-sufficient in his own yard? Why waste time going out to buy food and water?"
Hansen hesitated, "Do you think he is giving supplies?"
Yang Cheng curled his lips and said nothing, the old priest had disappeared behind the big tree surrounded by several people, and the fragrance of pine wood permeated the air.
He was a little hesitant, his intuition told him that there was something wrong with the old priest, but he didn't want to waste time stalking him because of a random thought.
After thinking about it for a long time, he told Hansen, "Send a brother to follow him to have a look. If you find something, don't act rashly. If you don't find it, go back to the small town of Busheri and join us."
This is the best way, without delay.
Hansen responded, and ordered a brother at random, and soon, the brother trotted after him.
