Chapter 4028 Little friend!
"My friend, I would like to ask, is it convenient for us to borrow this map of yours?" The old man thought for a while, and then asked me. Top 23S.

I bet this old man is trying to figure out my map.
I subconsciously wanted to agree. After all, a map is nothing, and now that I have walked out of that damn snow mountain, if it weren't for the old madman, I would never want to go back in my life. This map means nothing to me.
It's true that it's not of much use, so it's not impossible to lend it to others.
But I quickly realized that if I gave this map to the people here, wouldn't these people go up there often to take a look? With such a map, the snowy mountains will naturally not be a big problem.
And the old madman still lives up there, and the old madman is still remembered all the time. Wasn't that the same thing about the old man who almost killed the old madman before?
If I leak this map, won't the old madman have to experience a lot of potential threats?
I would rather the old madman lived alone in that place, so that it would at least reduce the burden on the old madman.
Thinking of this, I shook my head at the old man in front of me and said, "I'm afraid that's not possible. This thing has great commemorative significance for me, so I can't give it to you."
The old man became a little anxious when he heard what I said, and quickly said: "Little friend, we don't want your map, we just want to make a copy of it. You must know that this map is very important to us."
It is really important. If we can have it, we can explore the snow mountain, and maybe we can find it further away."
I thought to myself, isn't that why I don't want to give you this map?
Of course, I did not say these words out loud. After all, there are so many Tibetans here. What if my words irritated them?
"Old man, I'm afraid this won't work either." I said to the old man in front of me again, with some apology on my face.
"Why?" the old man asked quickly.
"It's like this. My friend is very old now. He is hiding in a place where no one can find him. If this map of mine is leaked, I am worried that my friend will be seriously threatened.
, so... please forgive me, for the safety of my friend, I can only refuse." I explained.
"Don't worry, little friend, we will never take advantage of your friend." The old man assured me again.
"Old man, to tell you the truth, a man went up to the snowy mountains a few days ago and almost caused a serious life threat to this friend of mine. If it weren't for God's blessing, I'm afraid I would never be able to see him again in this life.
So I have to prevent something like this from happening again. I believe you will not do such a thing, but who can guarantee that this map will not be leaked and known to other interested people? So, old man, please forgive me.
Stingy, I really can’t agree to it.”
After hearing my words, the old man in front of me sighed slightly, reluctantly glanced at the map in his hand, and then handed the deerskin map to me.
"Old man, you can actually go up and explore the road by yourself." I put the map away and said to the old man in front of me.
"There are monsters and monsters up there. We really can't let people go up there to die." The old man shook his head slowly.
"I told you that you are overthinking it. How can there be any monsters? I came down from above, how could I not know?" I said depressedly, what on earth did these people encounter? Are they afraid of that snow-capped mountain?
Like this?
The old man looked at me again, probably knowing that I would definitely not lend them the map, right? In the end he could only nodded slowly.
I have some questions in my heart that I want to ask, but I just rejected their request. I guess they won't answer my questions. Wouldn't it be very embarrassing then?
Thinking this, I nodded slightly to the two people in front of me, and then left this place.
"Hey! Wait!" The young man came up and stopped me.
"Is there anything else?" I looked at the other person in confusion and asked.
At this time, the old man also walked up with a cane and said to me: "My little friend, I wonder where you are from?"
I was stunned for a moment and looked at the old man in front of me warily.
The old man must have noticed my vigilance, right? He quickly said, "Don't get me wrong, little friend, I don't mean anything else. I'm just asking. If it's not convenient for me to answer, forget it."
I thought for a while and then said: "South."
I didn’t directly tell me where I came from. After all, I’m not familiar with this place. I don’t know the origins of these people in front of me. Even if they are just ordinary people, I still have to be on guard.
?Otherwise it may not be clear when it was sold.
Seeing that I was still defensive, the old man was not angry. He smiled at me and said, "My little friend, are you ready to go back now?"
"Yes." I nodded.
I worked so hard to get out, didn’t I just want to go home?
Thinking that my cousin Wu Wu and others were waiting for me at home, I became excited again.
It's been three years. We haven't seen each other for three years. I don't know how much they miss me. Will they be frightened if they suddenly see me?
"If you don't mind, little friend, why don't you stay here first? It's getting very late now, and it's very troublesome even if you want to catch the bus." The old man said to me again.
Stay at this place?
I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head and looked at the old man in front of me, and I became even more confused. Could this old man be so kind as to take me in?
To be honest, even if I want to leave here now, I don't have enough money to pay for it. Not to mention I am penniless, even the clothes on my body were ripped off from other people's wild animals.
And it is indeed getting very late now, and it looks like it will get dark soon. I really need to find a place to stay to rest for the night and then find a way to get enough travel expenses.
Unexpectedly, just when I was planning to do this, the old man in front of me took the initiative to send out an invitation. This was completely a help in times of need!
It's just that this old man wanted to take me in for no reason, which made me feel a little unbelievable.
