Chapter 11: Sleeping on the Prairie
Ye Kai saw the grassland for the first time in Tibet, although it was not the boundless steppe of Mongolia, but for Ye Kai, who had never seen a steppe, the scenery in front of him was attractive enough.
This grassland is teeming with yaks and horses, and in the distance are tall mountain peaks, the summits of which are covered with snow and white clouds.
When the car drove over, everyone got into the car.
Wang Hai frowned, not knowing what to think in his heart, and said, "Let's go to the house over there and have a look." ”
"Not going back?" asked Swallow.
"Let's go over and have a look. Wang Hai replied.
The river was not very wide, only three or four meters at its widest, and several cars found a relatively shallow position, crossed the river, and soon stopped in front of the house.
The house is very small, there is a yard, and a group of Tibetan pigs are raised, black and very cute.
Hearing a noise outside, a small child ran out, then ran in again, and after a while, a man in a blue cotton suit walked out.
After asking about Tibetan, everyone looked at each other.
A man named Zhang Wei stepped forward and gestured and said, "We came here accidentally, it's not good to go back at night, can we stay for one night?"
In fact, it is clear that this house can accommodate one or two people.
The Tibetan man didn't understand what Zhang Wei meant, so he went into the house and took out a bag of tsampa and a kettle, and handed it to Zhang Wei, thinking that they had come here to ask if there was anything to eat.
"Forget it, this house can't be lived, we will stay here in a tent for one night. Wang Hai said.
"Why do you want to stay here? It won't be long before you go back. U Thant asked.
Wang Hai pointed to a Touareg and said: "Zhang Wei's car didn't refuel yesterday, and now the fuel is not enough, and we will add the gas when we eat, it should be very late at that time, and it is inconvenient to walk at night." ”
The sun has already set, and soon it will be dark.
Under normal circumstances, I am already on the way back, and after this most dangerous road, the dirt road behind is still very easy to walk, but there is no way to do this accident.
Wang Hai came forward to communicate with the Tibetans, Ye Kai took a few photos outside and came back at this time, saw where Wang Hai was gesturing, and asked Yanzi: "What's the matter, don't you go back?"
"There is a car that runs out of gas, and we are going to stay here at night, and Brother Hai went up and asked if he could let us pitch a tent outside here. ”
Ye Kai turned around and saw Zhang Wei holding the kettle, and immediately said, "Hey, can't you drink their water, isn't there a lot of mineral water?"
"It's you? I want to drink some hot water, what's wrong? Can't you drink it?"
Ye Kai took the kettle and said to him: "Yes, if you want to have diarrhea, you can't eat tsampa." ”
It's true that tsampa can't be eaten, because they sometimes roast it with cow dung, and mainlanders will have diarrhea when they eat it, but there is nothing wrong with boiling water.
It's just that Tibetans are very troublesome to boil a pot of water, and now that there is mineral water in the car to drink, don't drink other people's boiled water.
Ye Kai walked over with the tsamba and kettle, and said to Wang Hai, "I'll tell you." ”
After walking around the Bon Ri Sacred Mountain, the system sent Ye Kai some knowledge of Tibetan areas, some of which were in Tibetan.
"Uncle, we are tourists from the mainland, and it is inconvenient to go back now, can you let us set up a tent in this grassland for one night. By the way, we don't want anything, there is food in the car. ”
Finally saw someone who could speak Tibetan, the uncle said a long list, and Ye Kai only understood part of it. He is only rudimentary, not proficient in Tibetan, and it is difficult to understand some complex vocabulary.
"Amazing, you can still speak Tibetan?" Wang Hai said happily.
Ye Kai stabilized Wang Hai and said, "You speak slowly, my Tibetan is not very good." ”
"It was okay to live outside. He said.
Their door was blocked with a thicker cloth, Ye Kai saw that the door curtain was opened a little bit, and several people secretly watched from behind, Ye Kai smiled at them.
Continuing to talk to the uncle, the curtain was opened, and a thin man with a gray hat came out with a basin and walked to the place where the Tibetan pigs were fed.
The uncle said that it was very cold outside at night, and if there was a need, they still had two extra quilts, and Ye Kai couldn't think about it enough, so he refused and didn't ask for it.
This group of talents has known each other for half a month, and they can divide more things, but they can't be less.
Da Bing took out a gas canister and a pressure cooker from his car, and a girl took some sausages and put them in the pressure cooker with rice, which was definitely not enough for ten people, and had to be cooked two or three times.
Wang Hai asked Ye Kai to ask if he could borrow the kitchen in his uncle's house.
"Don't you see the smoke? They're cooking, too. ”
Wang Hai looked at the cooking smoke in the sky, sighed, and said, "Forget it." ”
The rest of the people began to refuel the car, and it was a white barrel filled with oil,
A little child ran to Ye Kai and said, "Brother, brother." ”
I didn't call him uncle, what a good job!
Ye Kai squatted down and asked, "Is there something wrong, little friend?" ”
"Abba told you to come in and talk. ”
He took Ye Kai's hand and took it to the other side of the room, Ye Kai turned around and said to everyone: "The eldest brother just now asked me to go in and chat, I'll go in for a while." ”
Seeing Ye Kai's figure disappear at the door, someone said, "Tell him to go in and eat." ”
"Possibly, who told him to speak Tibetan, eat your food. But I don't think I need to prepare him. ”
The swallow bumped U Thant's arm.
"What are you doing?" asked U Thant.
Yanzi squeezed his eyebrows and said: "Tell you to start early, you see that everyone has brought Ye Kai into the room, who knows if they want to recruit him as a son-in-law." ”
"What do you think? U Thant said.
"Tut, at the beginning, you said that there was a handsome guy and asked us if we wanted to bring it, and who would believe you if you didn't have an idea. I heard that his camera is worth tens of thousands, maybe he is a rich second generation. ”
Wang Hai also came over and said: "This family is also a local tyrant, a farmer, you look at this piece of cattle and horses, to say the least, they are millionaires." ”
In the room.
After the sun sets, the temperature drops quickly, and although the tent being set up outside has electric heating, it is far less warm than inside the house.
Ye Kai entered the door and saw the light on, and asked, "Do you have wires here?"
The uncle said: "I didn't have it in previous years, but last year the state brought it over, and it was really a lot more convenient, so I came to sit and talk." ”
The room is relatively simple, with grazing things such as whips and saddles, a lot of animal skins hanging on the walls, and the concrete floor under your feet, so you don't seem to have to take off your shoes.
There is a large room to the right of the room, which should be the dining room, with a few dishes on the table, and a bowl of barley wine in front of it.
"Come and sit, but we don't sit on the bench when we eat here, and I don't know if you can get used to it. ”
The child ran to the seat first and sat cross-legged, and Ye Kai also followed his example and sat cross-legged next to him.
"Come, I'll toast you first, my name is Gesang, what is the name of the little brother. ”
Ye Kai raised his glass and said, "My name is Ye Kai." ”
The wine is slightly beige, similar to the rice wine in the mainland, but it tastes much stronger than the rice wine, and there is an indescribable taste.
Gesang introduced: "This is my mother-in-law, and those are my two sons. ”
The two children are twins, probably five or six years old, and they are very cute. Hearing this, he shouted obediently: "Brother, good." ”
