The next day, the two of them prepared their luggage and took a plane to Lhasa in the afternoon. Looking at the girl's dissatisfied appearance, Wu Shixiang said that this time it was very dangerous, not to travel, and to take her and Xiaohei together next time.

Bai Shuang went to study in other places again, and since becoming a producer, he has become more and more busy, and he has a lot of courses to learn. However, two people still have the opportunity to be together, each with their own space, which feels good.

"How? Where do we go to find the Tibetan mastiff? "The plane is a three-hour journey, Wu Shixiang asked the second marshal plan, he is the main force.

"I plan to do this, let's go to Lhasa at night, rest for the night, go to the Tibetan mastiff the next day, and then go back to Lhasa in the last two days to go around the scenic spots?"

Wu Shixiang doesn't care: "It doesn't matter if you go to the scenic spot or not, there will be opportunities in the future, and you can go next time you bring the girl Xiaoya and them." Mainly Tibetan mastiffs, have you found out where there is a good bloodline? ”

"Nowadays, Tibetan mastiff orchards are all over the place, and the core production areas of purebred Tibetan mastiffs are still concentrated in three major regions: Tibet, Yushu and Hequ."

The second marshal had already done his homework, took out the map, and designed the route: "The southern side of the Himalayas in Tibet and the northern Tibetan region are relatively closed and isolated due to the geographical environment, and there are few hybridization phenomena. The Tibetan mastiff here is still very good in appearance and temperament, with a tall and majestic body, medium hair, and a large and square head. ”

"The head shape is round on the outside and square on the inside, thick and solid, and the limbs are stout, which is a "breathing type", and can adapt well to the environment of high altitude, low oxygen pressure and heavy rainfall. The coat color of the Tibetan mastiff is most black back and yellow belly, and the black back and reddish brown belly are the most valuable. ”

"Yushu, Guoluo and the surrounding areas in Qinghai Province, due to the vertical distribution of the zone and climate, the winter is cold and dry, the summer is warm and humid, most Tibetan mastiffs have rich neck hair, but once they leave their place of origin, such as the dry and warm Central Plains in winter, Tibetan mastiffs often have hair loss."

"The Tibetan mastiffs in this area are generally weak in height and bone mass with a head and mouth shape, with a short mouth and a slightly wrinkled lower lip. The most distinctive feature of the diversified coat color is that its neck hair is developed and abundant, and it is distributed in a ring on the head and neck, which is classified as a lion type, which can fully reflect the charm of the Tibetan mastiff. ”

"This area is rich in snow-white, slender coats, very precious snow mastiffs, and it can be said that the largest production area of snow mastiffs. The snow mastiff here has clear eyes and a pink nose, and its body shape, head shape and ears are basically the same as that of the lion-shaped mastiff. ”

Wu Shixiang's eyes lit up, the snow mastiff is a rare breed in the Tibetan mastiff, and if you really want to find a snow mastiff this time, it will be amazing.

"The area of the first curve of the Yellow River at the junction of Gansu, Sichuan and Qingdao is collectively called the meandering area by the Tibetans. The production area is relatively closed, and in the alpine ecological environment, the precious and large Tibetan mastiff has been preserved by long-term breeding. The Tibetan mastiff in the meandering area has a double coat, mainly short hair, with thick and soft hair around it, and its body is tall and majestic. ”

"It is generally classified in the tiger type, with a stout physique, a well-coordinated body, and a thick and rough physique. Flamboyant personality and strong hostility towards strangers. The Tibetan mastiff has a broad head and a short mouth, which is best suited for guarding. ”

The second marshal had planned this route in advance, and was ready to go around, not afraid of spending money. Find a professional Tibetan tour guide, charter an off-road vehicle, and work hard to find out the situation.

It took three hours to arrive, and the two of them took a taxi to Lhasa city to find a hotel to stay. The second marshal began to contact the tour guide and the car, and prepared to leave tomorrow.

It is said that he has altitude sickness, the second handsome is strong and strong, Wu Shixiang smells the emperor's incense every day, and his physique is getting better and better, and there is no problem. I carried 500,000 yuan in cash and 10 gold bars in my bag, and if I really wanted to enter Tibet, the card would not work.

"That's it, I found the most professional Tibetan tour guide, Bazaar, Brother Yu introduced me to me, saying that many friends contact him when they go to Tibetan areas to find dogs, he is experienced, and he is responsible for preparing things when they need them. There's also a driver and a Humvee, let's have a good turn! ”

Wu Shixiang, the second marshal, was relieved, he was hungry, and the two of them took a taxi to the best restaurant in Lhasa to enjoy a special meal. Tomorrow we will start sleeping in the open air, and the road will be bumpy!

It is said that altitude sickness is uncomfortable, but Wu Shixiang and Er Shuai slept very soundly on the first night, and they woke up naturally. As soon as he finished breakfast, Er Shuai received a call from the tour guide Bazaar, saying that he had arrived at the door of the hotel, and the two of them packed their luggage and checked out.

"You are Niu Ershuai and Wu Shixiang, right?" As soon as he arrived at the agreed position, a Tibetan man in his early forties greeted him and greeted him.

"Hello Brother Baza, I'm the second marshal, it's been hard for you to take us for a lap these days." The second handsome said politely.

Bazaar saw that the two young people were very pleasing to the eye, especially the second handsome, with a strong physique, and the Tibetans respected the warriors the most, and laughed loudly: "What are you polite? My bazaar is to make money from tour guides, as it should be. Walk, get off and get in the car, the distance is still long, talk on the road. ”

Helped put the luggage into the Humvee, there was a lot of space, and there were other supplies piled up inside. They were going far from the city, and they had to bring everything with them, and there were several barrels of gasoline alone.

The driver is a relative of Bazaar, in his thirties, who often travels to Tibetan areas and has a lot of experience. This time, the second handsome tour guide and car cost more than 50,000 yuan, which is expensive and safe, as long as you can find the right place, money is not a problem.

"I heard you're looking for a purebred Tibetan mastiff? Are there any goals? ”

After Bazaar got into the car, he took out the map and showed it to Wu Shixiang and Ershuai. There are several routes densely marked on it, all of which are his experience as tour guides in the past few years, so let the two of them have a score first.

"Listen to you!" The second marshal looked at it for a while and said: "We believe in professionalism, where you say there is a good mastiff, let's go there." ”

Bazaar nodded, more satisfied, I have seen a lot of local tyrants, I don't understand anything, I like to give orders, blind command, since I am looking for a professional tour guide, what is it if I don't listen to others?

"Since this is your first time in Tibet, and the purpose is clear to find Tibetan mastiffs, I recommend a route." Bazaar pointed to a red line on the map and explained: "This is the most promising road to meet pure-blooded Tibetan mastiffs. ”

"Don't look at us as city people, our bodies are no worse than you!" The second handsome grinned and said confidently: "Do you have a chance for us to try?" ”

"Good! Just be energetic! Bazaar was happy, but he was afraid that his body would not be good, and his eyes would be low. Start choosing the most difficult route, and you can't do it before you reach anyone, so you can only turn back and waste time.

Bazaar suddenly became stern: "This is the first time you have entered Tibet, and there are a few rules to explain first!" Tibetans have their own customs and habits, and they have their own beliefs, so you must listen to me if you really want to! Don't act without permission, it's very troublesome to cause any misunderstanding! ”

The two nodded, they had heard of this, Tibet has a simple faith, strong folk customs, many rules, and it is good to follow the customs of the locals.

"The second is fate, I have to bring more than a dozen groups of people into Tibet every year to look for Tibetan mastiffs, but basically they return empty-handed. In the eyes of your city people, the Tibetan mastiff may be a big dog, majestic and able to make money. But in the eyes of true Tibetans, they are brothers, family members, and their patron saints! ”

Bazaar explained earnestly that now there is a craze for raising mastiffs, and rich people like to go into Tibet to choose good mastiffs, but the results are not ideal.

First, Tibetans are generally reluctant to sell, they have to rely on the mighty Tibetan mastiff to graze their lives, resist all kinds of wild beasts, and have deep feelings, in remote mountainous areas, money is not as good as materials. If you really want to be trapped in the desert, a glass of water or a million dollars, which one do you choose?

Of course, there are also many Tibetans who sell Tibetan mastiffs, most of them are young mastiffs, adult mastiffs are not easy to domesticate, and the owner must follow, and it is possible to accept the new owner in two or three years.

Therefore, it is easier to accept the sale of young mastiffs, and after the Tibetan mastiff comes into heat every year, it can basically give birth to six or seven young mastiffs. It's not bad to leave one or two good ones, and exchange the rest for money. As more and more people entered Tibet, the price also increased every year, and the children of Tibetans also had to go to school, many people began to sell young mastiffs, and the bazaar also knew several families.

I heard from the bazaar that all the routes run down for at least five or six days, and there are two replenishments of supplies and gasoline in between. The group chatted while driving, admiring the most pristine natural landscape.

Along the way, I also saw many Buddhists who kowtowed, and Wu Shixiang folded his hands and paid respect. Faith is a kind of physical practice, and one who can strengthen the heart and purify the mind through this ascetic method is the true believer.

"I would venture to ask, are there any fake Tibetan mastiffs in Tibet? After the second marshal and Bazaar got acquainted, they began to inquire about the inside story.

Bazaar hesitated, but still said frankly: "If there is a dog market in Lhasa, there are many people selling fake mastiffs. In previous years, many people were fooled and spent a lot of money on fakes. In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer Tibetan mastiffs, the threshold is high, the price is expensive, and there are not many people who can raise them. ”

"Like you, you all like to go into Tibet to choose varieties by yourself, one is assured, and the other is to choose more. None of the dogs raised by real Tibetans are pet dogs, and even if they are not Tibetan mastiffs, they are fierce. Domesticating livestock, guarding the home, and defending against wild wolves are all protectors of their masters. ”

Bazar is a native Tibetan who has a strong affection for dogs, and cattle and sheep are the main property of the locals here. Without the protection of dogs, it is not only inconvenient to graze, but also attacked by wild wolves, and both people and money will be lost.

"Therefore, the more ferocious the Tibetan mastiff, the more it has to go through the test of nature, and the survival of the fittest is a rule set by God. In my opinion, the so-called bloodlines are all evolved over a long period of time, and even an ordinary dog will be wild if it survives in a harsh environment for a few years. ”

The second marshal nodded and continued to ask: "It is said that the native mastiff is the best breed, isn't it?" ”

"Surely the native mastiff is the essence left behind by the layers of nature and tempering. One mastiff fighting nine wolves is a bit exaggerated, but I have seen with my own eyes the record of one mastiff biting two or three wild wolves! No matter how good the bloodline is, if it is not tempered, it is not a good mastiff in the hearts of Tibetans. ”

Wu Shixiang agrees with this point of view, all living things in nature are survival of the fittest, and so are people. Animals evolve to be physically fit and aware, while humans are to improve intelligence and technology, and the essence is the same. The reason why special forces are so powerful is because they can become the strongest combat force after the test of life and death.

At first, the group walked along the road, and after walking for half a day, the road became less and less, and the car kept bumping, and they really entered the area where the Tibetans lived in grazing.

There is no end everywhere, there is no fixed reference, and even the direction is easy to get lost. Thanks to the experienced guide of Bazaar, I was able to cross several dangerous sections without danger, and finally arrived at a small village in the evening, where I will rest tonight.

"Let's stay here for one night today, I know a herdsman very well, let's go to his house in the evening." The bazaar went to negotiate for a while, let people get off the bus with their luggage, and arrange accommodation.

After settling down, after everyone finished eating, the second handsome couldn't stay idle, and pulled Wu Shixiang out for a walk. After a day of driving, my whole body hurts, so I can move.
