Chapter 112: Castle in the Sky
First, it's best not to see each other, so that you don't fall in love.
Second, it's better not to know each other, so that you don't love each other.
Most of the people who have listened to these provocative love poems only remember that it was the line in the hit drama "Step by Step", but few people will know that its real source is actually from the pen of the sixth Dalai Lama of Tibet, Cangyang Gyatso.
In the 18th century, this mysterious troubadour, when passing by a pure land of white cranes, once used the tune of his soul to leave another love song that has been sung through the ages.
"White crane, please lend me your wings, don't fly far away, just go to Litang for a turn, and fly back......"
The song pierces the boundless years, shakes the past and the present, and uses its unique rhythm to tell the world that there is a magical place in Tibet, and its name is Litang.
Litang, which enjoys the title of "Pearl of the Grassland", means flat grass dam like a bronze mirror in Tibetan, with an altitude of 4,014 meters, more than 300 meters higher than Lhasa, Tibet, and can be called "the world's high city".
This "city hanging in the sky" has been the settlement of the Kham Tibetan people since ancient times, and has been an important town for the tea and horse exchange market in history.
Xu Zimo and Shi Lei drove the Hummer interactively, running for more than ten hours in a row, until they entered the territory of Litang, and the time was almost seven o'clock in the morning of the next day. Because there was a shift break in the middle of the way, the two drivers were not too tired, not to mention the four women in the back compartment, who rested all night, and when the sun just rose, they woke up alive again.
"Brother Xu, this is Litang, right?" Li Wei lay on the car window, followed like a little sparrow, chattering non-stop: "What a big grassland, such a blue sky, look at it, there are yaks, tents, and eagles in the sky!" â
When you look out of the window, the first thing you see is the vast blue sky.
It is completely different from the scene of the gloom of the imperial capital all day long, the sky here is a blue and blue hue, like a piece of delicately woven satin, with a few thin gauzy light clouds floating on it, when the sun appears, there is light bursting out from behind the clouds, and the clouds are like a layer of gold edges, reflecting a blue sky, like a fairyland.
Under this clear sky, the vast and magnificent Maoya prairie comes from afar and goes away.
In the late spring and early summer, the oily green grass is like the new hair of the earth, stretching endlessly as far as the eye can see. There are flowers, colorful, and dotted on the prairie, swaying and smiling with the breeze.
After a long time, the light in the sky finally passed through the clouds, one by one, flying down, back and forth between the large area of color blocks, and the mountain villas, fields, and trees passed along the way became messengers of light, flashing out of the car window, continuing to guard this beautiful and magical prairie.
"It's so beautiful!" Li Min and Kuang Zhenzhen praised from the bottom of their hearts at the same time.
Ye Qing nodded sympathetically, she really never thought that there was such a beautiful and magical place on the earth, compared to those metropolises that were prosperous on the surface, it was simply a world apart, if the aura around her was richer, she would almost mistakenly think that this was the Yunhai Continent where she was in her previous life.
So almost just by looking at it, she fell in love with this "city in the sky" that had been left behind in the world.
"How's that, it's not bad, right?"
Shi Lei looked behind him from the reversing mirror, and said triumphantly: "Those people in the tour group often say that when you come to Tibet, you must first go to Lhasa, where the Potala Palace is like and the Jokhang Temple and the Jokhang Temple are like the Jokhang Temple. That's why experienced travelers say that if you want to really understand Tibet, you must take the Sichuan-Tibet line, because only this road is the real road to heaven on earth. â
"Heaven on earth......" Kuang Zhenzhen looked fascinated, "These four words are really aptly described, if you can live here for a long time, how good it would be!" â
"What's so hard about this?" Shi Lei shook his head and smiled, looked behind him through the reversing mirror, and was about to speak, when he was suddenly stunned for no reason.
In the morning light, the man leaned against the car window, his eyes were bright, and his cheeks seemed to have a slight blush, probably just woke up and didn't pay attention, the silk scarf around his neck had slipped to the rib cage at some point, and she held her hands, revealing the waves in her chest more and more.
34Dīŧ No, at least 36D!
"Drive carefully, there will be a lot of yaks passing by on this stretch of road." Xu Zimo's voice rang out at an inopportune time.
He was woken up by Li Wei's fussy voice, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that the driver was completely absent-minded.
Glancing into the rearview mirror, Xu Zimo knew what Shi Lei was looking at, and when he was doing something else, he naturally wouldn't spoil the atmosphere, but now that he was still driving, he found that Shi Lei's eyes hadn't been on the road for nearly ten seconds, and he had to be a saboteur for safety.
"Hey, Brother Shi, what did you mean by that just now?"
Li Wei couldn't figure out what it meant to be "what's so difficult about this".
"Huh?" Shi Lei carefully avoided the herd of yaks passing in front of him, and then he remembered, "Oh, I said that it is not difficult to live here, if you want, you can live for as long as you want." â
Kuang Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows: "Could it be that you also have a house here?" â
"That's right, but unfortunately there is no prize." Shi Lei smiled.
When Kuang Zhenzhen and Li Wei heard this, they were silent for a few seconds at the same time, and then teased with disdain: "Sure enough, it's a nouveau riche." â
Someone's steering wheel skidped, and he almost drove the car into a ditch.
"Qing'er, I heard that the scenery of Litang Temple is good, let's go over there and take a look." Li Min's gentle voice sounded.
Before Ye Qing could answer, Li Wei had already picked up a map introducing the tourist route in Litang, and said excitedly: "Cousin, Litang Temple is not in a hurry, the Horse Racing Festival, let's go to see the Horse Racing Festival first." â
Kuang Zhenzhen directly pulled the map in her hand and slapped her on the head: "Trouble to see clearly, the horse racing festival is in June, are you going to stay here for a month?" â
"Huh? It's early. Li Wei pursed her lips and muttered: "It's a pity, those horses must be very sorry that they didn't see me." â
The other five shook their heads at the same time, not knowing what to say.
After a while, Xu Zimo saw Shi Lei drive the car into Litang County, roughly guessed what he meant, and said: "After sitting in the car for so long, I'm hungry, right?" Let's go to the city first, after breakfast, and then move the salute to the stone house, we won't leave today, first rest in Litang for a day, where do you want to go to play, we have discussed, and I will accompany you later. â
Li Wei nodded, looked out of the car, but exclaimed, "No, this is also called a city?" â
Not to mention the city, it is a small town, and it is estimated to be bigger than here.
The criss-crossing streets go straight to each other, dotted with dots, a **** was built in the middle, there is a street garden nearby, there are many shops, and the families are close to each other along the walkway, and at a glance, there is quite a feeling of Wuzhen River Corridor.
"There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Tibet, this hour is still early, although the sun is rising, but the temperature is not high, you had better wear an extra one, so as not to catch a cold." Xu Zimo reminded.
All four of them wore an extra shirt and walked out of the car after the two boys.
As soon as the door opened, a cold wind blew, instantly blowing away the long-standing heating in the carriage, making people feel relaxed and happy.
It is estimated that the people in Litang County have rarely seen a six-wheeled Humvee, regardless of men and women, young and old, people passing by have stopped their pace, staring at the car curiously and looking at it, Shi Lei didn't mind, after locking the driver's seat, he turned around with a smile, and did not forget to fold his hands together, and said to the crowd in a friendly manner: "Tashi Delek!" â
"Tashi Delek!" Some elderly Tibetans returned the salute with a smile and showed a mouthful of white front teeth.
Li Wei blinked: "What does Tashi Deler mean, does it mean 'pierced to death'?" â
Xu Zimo shook his head and smiled: "It's the Tibetan language for greetings, which means hello." â
"Oh, that's what it means." She nodded again and again, then turned around and greeted a passing girl: "Tashi Delek! â
"Tashi Delek!" The man smiled sweetly.
Li Wei was immediately attracted by her colorful decorations, and when she looked closely, she found that they were red coral, opal, auspicious jade, turquoise and other things, all of which were shining and shining at the end of her braids, which looked particularly exotic.
"Vivi, don't run around." Li Min's face at this time obviously showed a tiredness, and between breathing, it was much faster than usual, it seemed that he was suffering from altitude sickness.
Among the four girls, her body has always been relatively weak, which may be due to her lack of exercise.
"Sister Li Min, are you okay?" Ye Qing was the first to notice her strangeness, and hurriedly walked over and grabbed her hand.
She waved her hand and smiled hard in response, "It's okay, it's just a little stuffy in my chest just now." â
Shi Lei and Xu Zimo walked over from behind and asked with concern: "Can you persevere, if your body can't bear it, just tell me that there are oxygen cylinders prepared in the carriage to help alleviate altitude sickness." â
"It's okay, it's okay, there's no need to make a fuss." Li Min hurriedly shook his head.
said so, but Ye Qing could clearly feel that her hands seemed to be trembling slightly just now, it seemed that this bit of altitude sickness had made her begin to taste bitterness.
Out of kindness, Ye Qing lowered her brows, and her fingertips silently separated a wisp of true qi, which quietly burrowed into Li Min's body along her arm, temporarily protecting her heart.
After walking a few steps further, Li Min suddenly stopped, took a few deep breaths, and said in surprise: "Strange, why is that feeling gone just now, could it be that I have been sitting in the car for too long, and people are a little sleepy?" â
"It's okay." Xu Zimo breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ye Qing uneasily, and asked, "Qing'er, what about you?" Do you feel uncomfortable in any way? â
"I'm fine." As always, it was a light tone.
He nodded: "It's okay." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to () subscribe, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
