Chapter 697: The Man Who Kowtows

Many young people have a restless heart and always want to travel around the world and see everywhere.

However, many people do not have enough economic foundation, which gave birth to the Sichuan-Tibet line poor tour at the moment, which is actually a kind of fun and tempering.

But training is good, exchanging the body for oil money, I think it's very undesirable, or these women want to find excitement in addition to playing.

"Are you going to Lhasa?" the driver asked us, probably boring to drive, and chatted with us.

"Yes, go and experience the scenery of the Tibetan area, take a break, and then go to the Potala Palace to pay respects. I said casually.

"Yes, yes, it's a sacred place. The driver said with a smile.

"Holy, where is sacred? "I was immediately interested.

"If nothing else, many living Buddhas have been identified from there. The driver looked at us from the rearview mirror, smiled slightly and said: "The Buddha over there is particularly effective, every year tourists from all over the world will come here to worship and make wishes, there are also many people whose wishes have come true, come back to make wishes, but more are to travel, and now Tibetan tourism has become a hot spot in China." ”

We nodded and didn't reply.

"You two are boyfriend and girlfriend, right?" the driver suddenly snapped up again.

"Yes, let's go to the Potala Palace. I laughed.

"Oh, it's kind of romantic, but aren't your parents worried about you when you're so young and running around at such a young age?" the driver asked.

"If you don't run while you're young, won't you regret it when you're old?" I said, looking up at the driver.

"That's right. ”

Then on the road not far away, seven or eight people knelt in the middle of the road, and then they stood up after kowtowing, and walked three more steps, knelt down again, and then got up again, and after walking nine steps forward, they knelt down and kowtowed.

I was surprised and said, "Is this three kneeling and nine knocking?"

"yes, yes. The driver sighed and said, "These talents are the most admirable." ”

"What are they doing in the middle of the road?" I asked the driver, puzzled.

"It's not about kneeling and worshipping anything, it's about kneeling three times and bowing nine times to the Potala Palace and going on a pilgrimage. The driver sighed and said, "This is sincerity." ”

"From here to the Potala Palace, thousands of kilometers?" I widened.

"Yes, not just thousands of kilometers, but more than 2,000 kilometers, they may be ordinary people from Yunnan or Sichuan, and all the savings they have accumulated over the years of hard work are for this year or several years of pilgrimage. ”

I was speechless and dumbfounded, kneeling three times and knocking more than 2,000 kilometers, from Yunnan or Sichuan to the Potala Palace, what sincerity and perseverance this was, I simply thought I had heard it wrong.

"They are called kowtowers, all on foot, kneeling three times and nine knocks, so it often takes two or three years to arrive, their will and endurance, as well as sincerity and perseverance, you say that with people like them, what will not succeed?" the driver looked at us from the rearview mirror.

"Yes, yes, yes. "I think so.

"Then many people come to Lhasa, in fact, the money and food on their bodies have been spent, and they are all unkempt, looking worse than beggars, we often run the Sichuan-Tibet line, there are many such people, especially when it snows in winter, we see them kneeling in the ice and snow, we will not bear it, what food is on the car, or coats and quilts, will be directly given to them, and then give them some money, help them. The driver sighed.

"Yes, master, slow down, let's help them. As I spoke, I pulled out two thousand dollars from my backpack.

Then when I got to these people, the car slowed down, and I shouted to them: "Fellow countrymen, this is a long way to the Potala Palace, and I have nothing to help you, you can keep this money to buy some food and water." ”

Then they handed us two thousand dollars, and the people smiled at us and said, "Thank you." ”

It's just that the distance is too far to reach, and as soon as I let go, the 2,000 yuan bill will fall down and scatter all over the ground.

So they went to pick it up, for fear that the wind would blow it away.

I wanted to get out of the car and give it to them directly, but the car didn't stop.

The driver was surprised and said, "My God, it's almost enough for you to give two or three hundred, and you give so much at once, more than two thousand, right?"

"Well, two thousand. I nodded.

"I'm going, are you the second generation of rich?" The driver smiled bitterly and said: "You will give two thousand for this one, and maybe we can meet dozens of them along the way, so will you give it back?"

I shrugged and said, "Is there a place to get money? We don't have a lot of cash on us, otherwise we would have given it, and they are really sincere, and they are very admirable." ”

"Yes, I'll help you find it when you get to a resting place, but your wealth is not exposed, and even if you have money, you have to keep a low profile. "The driver was kind and persuasive.

"I see, thank you, master. ”

"Also, there are some things on the Sichuan-Tibet line that you must be clear, first, there are very few toilets on the Sichuan-Tibet line, so you'd better bring an umbrella, it will be better when it's convenient in the field. The driver explained.

"We have. "I think about it, my man is a little better, but Yuelan is inconvenient, but I can give her a hand.

"In addition, don't take pictures casually, some places, you take pictures, it may belong to the attraction, you need to collect money, but it may not belong to the attraction, we also have to collect money from you, you don't give it to it, especially their livestock, you take pictures, he will look for you to collect money. ”

I gasped, yes, I have to charge money for taking pictures, I suddenly thought of a sketch, a fool went into the city and saw a lot of high-rise buildings, and then he began to count one by one, and then a thug saw that he was honest and wanted to blackmail him, so he told him that the number of floors was charged, and the fool was cheated by him, and the money in his pocket was cheated away.

Now the driver said that this photo collection money, it is a bit of this meaning, I photograph his livestock, he collects money I have nothing to say, but take pictures of landscape scenery, this landscape is not his, what money does he charge, this is slander.

"And if there are herds of yaks on the road, don't sound the horn to drive them away, otherwise you will anger the herdsmen, and simply block the middle of the road, not letting you pass, and you will inevitably spend money on the road, in case of bad luck and killing their livestock, he can make you lose your life. "The driver is obviously an old driver, and he must have suffered the losses of the Tibetans, or he has seen or heard from his peers.

"Noted down, thank you. Yuelan and I nodded at the same time.

"You took my car, I told you this, and I am honest when I see you, it may be the first time to travel so far, so you have to remember this, and then you should be cautious when you meet strangers, don't trust people casually, and it's right to pay more attention. ”

"Remember, thank you, master, you are such a warm-hearted person. I laughed.
