Chapter 3 The Little White Yak
After being busy for almost half a month, Cai Hongming finally finished planning the 1,000 acres of desert land, but it was also May.
Last year, he agreed with Songna that he would go to their side to dig cordyceps, so he packed up, brought some necessary things to go out, borrowed a desert truck from Tuoba Niu, and went to Songna's house, Lasmeto.
"Maverick, why don't you repair your car at home, why do you go to dig Cordyceps and don't make money?" While driving, Cai Hongming asked Tuoba Niu.
When he went to his house to borrow a car, this guy heard that he was going to dig Cordyceps, so he wanted to follow, and he also brought his friend Lacquer Carving Ji Shao, this person had several more at once, which made Cai Hongming very unhappy. This is digging Cordyceps, it is clearly a posture of taking children to spring outings.
"I've always heard of digging Cordyceps and digging Cordyceps, but I haven't dug it, so I want to dig it. I don't want to make money, so I just want to play. ”
Seeing him say this, Cai Hongming had nothing to say, and turned his head to Qi Diao Ji Shao, who was sitting behind, and asked, "Aji, it's okay to say that the little cow is going, what are you going to do?" So thin that even the wind can blow it away, be careful that when the time comes, climb the mountain and roll down the mountain without oxygen. ”
"Brother Bird, it's okay, if you can't go up, I'll stay in the village to play, the scenery over there is good, I like it very much."
Come on, it's two soy sauce players. Cai Hongming simply stopped talking.
On the reckless yellow sand, it seems that there will never be an end, silent and lifeless. After a few hours of walking on a straight desert road, the car broke away from the desert road and headed for a rural road, and after a little further on, it reached the bottom of the village of Rasmedo. You can't drive in front, the old rule, a group of people get out of the car and walk.
Lasmedo was still the same as before. Peaceful, calm, unpretentious. There was no change with their arrival, and nothing was lost from their departure.
Songna's father, Bassan, knew they were coming today. Specially waiting at the head of the village. After receiving them, they went home together.
When I came to Songna's house, I saw that it was full of glutinous rice, cheese and other kinds of food, and a fat lamb roasted golden and crispy on the charcoal stove in the hall. Songna's mother, Jinzhu Zhuoma, was in the kitchen with a ghee bucket to make ghee, and when she saw the arrival of the guest, she quickly took out the bowl and poured ghee. Songna saw it and went over to help.
It was noon when we arrived at Lasmedo. I can't go up the mountain to dig Cordyceps today, so I can only wait for tomorrow morning. Otherwise, dig all afternoon and come back. It's a waste of time.
"Hongming, you're late, the day before yesterday, a few children from the Ma Kar family went up the mountain with the people from the village to dig Cordyceps." Basang said while enthusiastically persuading everyone to eat and drink.
"It's okay, we're also going to dig and play, it doesn't matter if we dig it or not." Cai Hongming said.
"That's good, or you'll be disappointed, because we don't have a lot of cordyceps here." As he spoke, Basang put down the bowl in his hand. sighed: "Hey, everyone didn't dig Cordyceps before, but now they all run to dig for money." I am not afraid of the mountain gods to blame. ”
In the past, it was said that Cordyceps was the hair of the mountain god and had spirituality. Digging up Cordyceps is tearing the hair of God.
Some people say that Cordyceps is the intestines of the mountain god, who digs it. It will annoy the gods, and people and animals will suffer. So many Tibetans don't dig Cordyceps. It is mainly outsiders who go to dig.
It's just that now, driven by interests, coupled with the fact that people are not as ignorant as before, and have lost their due reverence for the gods, many local Tibetans have also begun to dig Cordyceps, but in some areas, there are still many Tibetans who do not dig Cordyceps, otherwise they will be blamed by the villagers.
The people of Lasmaidor Village are like this, some people don't dig Cordyceps, some people dig it, this is the collision of faith and secular people.
Now there are not as many cordyceps in the mountains as in the past, which is caused by a large number of man-made excavations, insufficient environmental protection and natural climate.
After eating, Basang took Cai Hongming to the ranch to see the white yak he left for him. The Basang family's ranch is on a hill not far from the village, where white yaks and sheep are raised. Since watching the white yaks make money, he has increased the number of white yaks he breeds every year, and this year he has raised 200 white yaks and 100 sheep. These cattle and sheep are grazing on the green pastures, and they look white and flowery, which is very pleasing to the eye.
At the beginning of spring, the snow that covers the mountains gradually recedes to the summit, and the trickle of water formed by the melting snow flows into a stream that pours into the lake in front of Lasmedo.
The mountains are soaked in snow, and the almost lifeless grasslands that have experienced nearly half a year of ice and snow baptism gradually reveal light greenery and quietly sprout new sprouts under the spring breeze. The originally yellow grassland suddenly turned into a sea of green overnight. Many unknown wildflowers also emerge with the spring mood. For a time, on the green carpet-like grassland, white, red, purple, yellow, blue, all kinds of wildflowers compete with each other, just like the brilliant spots embroidered on the plush blanket, dotted with green grassland, forming a colorful, magnificent, dynamic three-dimensional picture.
The yaks and sheep just lowered their heads and nibbled on the new green grass, not caring at all about the arrival of the crowd.
Basang pointed to a small white yak with a red ribbon tied to its head in the white yak herd and said to Cai Hongming: "Look, that's what I left for you." ”
Cai Hongming looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a calf snuggling up next to a female yak, looking down and gnawing on the grass, but restless, scurrying around from time to time, looking like a clever ghost.
After staying at Basang's house for one night, Cai Hongming and others got up at dawn the next day, brought the food they ate at noon, and the pickaxe (also called the small pickaxe) used to dig Cordyceps, and walked to the mountain.
In order to dig Cordyceps, some people bring tents to sleep on the mountain, which not only saves them from going back and forth, but also frees up time to dig Cordyceps, but Cai Hongming does not want to do this. Because it's too tiring, and they don't plan to dig Cordyceps to make money, it's purely fun, and they want to experience the feeling of digging Cordyceps, so there's no need to be so troublesome.
Above Lasmedo is a forest, and beyond the woods, you can see alpine meadows.
Above the grassland, there is a clear blue sky like a turquoise lake, and white clouds of different shapes float leisurely between the blue waters, far or near. Looking into the distance, I saw the silent snow-capped peaks in the distance, like a snow lotus, shining in the sun.
Green grass, flowers, mountains, and flowing water, like an endless scroll, come into view.
All of a sudden, Cai Hongming and other people who had lived in the town for a long time were shocked by what they saw. They had never seen a more beautiful and shocking picture than in front of them.
"Ahh
Finally, someone couldn't help it and shouted loudly, and then I saw a wolf howl resounding miserably in the mountains.
shouted excitedly for a while, and some people couldn't stand it at first, and the hypoxic one was swallowing saliva and panting for breath over there, and it didn't recover until a while. (To be continued......)
