Chapter 33: Snow Closes the Road

"Don't tell me you want to go to that lama temple." Lao Huang looked at me with a resentful expression, he was simply a roundworm in my stomach.

"Congratulations on getting it right, but you didn't get a prize."

There was no congratulation in my tone, if I had been curious and surprised, and wanted to get a secret, but now I felt only a faint uneasiness, as if I had been caught up in a great conspiracy.

Lao Huang smiled: "Just go, anyway, it's either fake, let's just climb a mountain, or it's true, and you can't die if you listen to a story." ”

Lao Huang still thinks very easily, this is the biggest difference between him and me, I am used to thinking about the worst outcome in a safe place, but he can think about the best outcome in the worst time.

It's incredible that our completely opposite personalities can become iron buddies.

"It's not so easy to enter Tibet, Ba Qing's place is against the snow mountain, it is a very high altitude area, there is a large area of no man's land, I think your small physique, you must be high to death."

"Cut."

I replied fiercely, I didn't expect Lao Huang to be quite familiar with Tibet, but I didn't like to hear the last sentence.

"Haha," Lao Huang laughed, "Daze, I think you're really getting more and more fun." ”

I gave him a blank look, and suddenly remembered the old lady I met at the door of Lao Yang's house.

"Lao Huang, what did that old lady tell me just now?"

Lao Huang turned his head and smiled meaningfully: "She said you are handsome." ”

I was taken aback: "Really? ”

"Haha," Lao Huang laughed so hard that the car couldn't drive steadily, "Look at your stupid look, do you hope it's real or fake?" ”

I understood, and smacked him hard: "You trick me!" ”

Lao Huang was overjoyed: "No, Lao Tzu is going to be laughed to death by you, let me tell you this, I don't understand Baijia's dialect." ”

I was stunned for a moment: "Then she told you so much, and you still nodded." ”

"That's why I'm calmer," Lao Huang stopped smiling, "Just like you, you can't be handsome, let me tell you, if you really want to go to Ba Qing, you must exercise first, at least for three months, otherwise I will never let you go, Gao Anti will really kill people, and Snow Mountain is not a fun place." ”

Lao Huang said very seriously, I can't laugh anymore, there is a kind of person, he usually giggles and laughs in any way, but when he is serious, you must listen, otherwise you will really lose your life.

I took a deep breath: "Okay, I will listen to you how you say how to exercise." ”

Lao Huang nodded: "I'm for your little life, if you can't persevere, don't care about this piece of jade anymore, live happily for twenty years, brother, I can borrow money for you to squander." ”

My nose was sour, and Lao Huang said it very easily, but I felt very blocked in my heart.

Lao Huang's plan officially started the next day, he arranged for me to exercise for 10 hours a day, and also invited two Tibetans to teach me simple martial arts.

He only let me eat boiled beef, eggs and raw vegetables every day, a large amount, but forced me to finish eating, I was miserable, but when I remembered Lao Huang's words, I didn't even have the courage to give up, in the end I was still unwilling.

I think Lao Huang is really making a big fuss, just climbing the mountain to listen to the story, where is the use of this.

Lao Huang accompanies me to exercise, eats the same as me, his physical fitness is really much better than mine, I can't give up, I have always had a strong momentum in my heart.

I feel very painful, the psychological strength cannot replace the body to withstand high-intensity exercise, Lao Huang never persuaded me to give up, but I can feel the emotion in the depths of his eyes, he wants me to retreat.

Maybe it was the living corpse of the old horse that scared him, it was really a thorn, and it was also pierced in my heart.

Three months passed quickly, I looked in the mirror and could hardly believe that it was me, my weight had gained nearly ten pounds, but it was all muscles, my speed and strength had become amazing, if it weren't for Lao Huang, I never thought I could be so good.

It's October, and winter in Tibet is about to begin, so we have to find the lama temple before the snow closes the mountain, otherwise we will have to go down the mountain next year.

Lao Huang procured all kinds of equipment, a lot of compressed food, these things stuffed the trunk, and he also found a Tibetan guide who could speak Chinese, named Tashi Sangyi, who is said to be from Ba Qing, but has not returned for many years, and his family has been hunting for generations.

I don't know how much Lao Huang spent on this operation, but he never frowned on the money, and I asked Sanchi about the Ba Qing Lama Temple, and he said that there was indeed a Lama Temple there, but he had never seen any jade in it.

The Lama Temple is a sacred place, they only go to the annual worship time, and the Lama Temple is located in a remote location, there is no road, and the Tibetans are unable to move, so they gradually choose to go to the Lama Temple in the nearby county to worship, and he later left his hometown, and now it has been more than ten years, I think it is difficult to say whether the temple is still there or not.

But he was sure that the temple would be there, no matter how difficult the conditions were, the lamas would not give up the Buddha, and that the temple was blessed by the gods.

I wanted to laugh and ask him what god he was, but he couldn't say it, just kept repeating that there was a god there, and that lamas don't lie.

I didn't know what they believed to be, and I might have thought it was just a reason to attract pilgrims, but as the journey progressed, I dispelled that idea.

Tibetan Buddhism is very pure, the maintenance of the lama temple is mostly dependent on government / government funding, the lamas will not take the things of the masses, they want no one to disturb this pure Buddhist place, the lama temple open to tourists is only available in tourist areas, and the general temple will not receive tourists, unless it is a special situation such as getting lost.

The three of us took turns to drive, first to Lhasa, and then to Ba Qing via National Highway 109 and National Highway 317, passing through Dangxiong and Nagqu on the way, replenishing supplies at each place.

The sky in Tibet is so blue, even the clouds are so white that they are so close to the ground that they seem to be within reach.

There is a lake where we passed, the water was extremely clear, the sky was reflected like a living emerald, the minimum temperature was a few degrees above zero, the lake water had not frozen, there was no snow on the mountains, only the higher mountains were always snowy.

Looking at the beautiful scenery will also make the mood better, but unfortunately this road is not long, the lake will soon disappear from sight, and we are already very close to Ba Qing.

The temperature dropped suddenly, I felt dizzy and uncomfortable, the altitude almost instantly increased, and as far as the eye could see, there were mountains covered with snow and ice, and they stood majestically, as steep as a knife.

The sky became darker and more depressed, not as clear as before, and we ran for a while, only to see snow fluttering in the sky.

The temperature seemed to drop by more than ten degrees suddenly, and the wind outside was extremely cold, making a knife-like sound on the glass, but fortunately, the snow was not very heavy, and we could barely move forward.

Sanji slowed down the car, there were almost no cars passing here, the snow was covering quickly, and there seemed to be a tendency to get bigger and bigger, Lao Huang went to replace Sanji, and as soon as the car door opened, a gust of cold wind rushed into the collar, and I shivered with cold.

Lao Huang scolded in a low voice, I couldn't help but worry in my heart, it stands to reason that I won't encounter a wind and snow when I enter Tibet in early October, is it God preventing me from exploring the secret of Gu Yu?

Sanji sat in the back, bringing a cool air, and he looked at the gloomy sky very depressed: "We may not be able to go, once the snow starts, it will not stop, it will continue to fall until next year." ”

The snow will definitely stop, but a first snow means that the heavy snow will come soon, but we have been running for two days and it is impossible to give up at the last minute, especially me, who has suffered for three months for this trip, even if the sky is stabbing me.

Sanji was still complaining, Lao Huang glanced back at him, and his voice was full of impatience: "If you don't want to go, get off now, you don't have any money." ”

Sanji immediately shut up, I can only smile bitterly, once people are contaminated with the worldly atmosphere outside, they will lose their original pure hearts, but this is understandable, they are all hard-working people who are running around, and they have to support their families.

Lao Huang drove fast, the car was like speeding on an ice rink, I looked at the mountains and deep valleys next to me and was terrified, reminding him to no avail.

Lao Huang is still so impatient, I know that he is for me, and we must return as soon as possible, but I always feel that he is too reckless, and it may also be because I am too slow.

We are less than 100 kilometers away from Ba Qing, I look at the snow-capped mountains outside, they are so steep, no one has ever set foot on them, Sanji said that the lama temple we are going to is in the mountains, the car is impossible to run, is it such a high mountain to climb?

I looked at Lao Huang and Sanji, I felt a little sad, they were all safe and sound, but only I was high, although it was not serious, but it was also very bad, I exercised for three months, I always felt that I was too powerful, but I found that I was just an ordinary person with better personal strength.

Fortunately, Lao Huang let me exercise, if I had changed to the old me, I would definitely have hit the street before I arrived at Ba Qing.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and I was getting more and more anxious, so Sanchi closed his eyes, twisted the beads on his hand, and muttered something in a low voice.

Lao Huang couldn't drive up even if he wanted to, the wipers were swinging, the wind covered the sky with heavy snow, the visibility ahead was extremely low, the road and the surrounding snow-capped mountains were connected, the fluorescent signs on the side of the road were almost completely covered with snow, and it was too dangerous for us to continue driving.

Lao Huang slowly stopped the car: "No, you can't drive, you have to fall into the ditch if you drive again." ”

He was really reliable when it was time to calm down, but I was so anxious that as soon as the fire went out, the temperature in the car dropped rapidly, and with the current amount of snow, we would be buried in it in less than half an hour.

"Don't turn off the engine, or we'll freeze." Sanji opened his eyes.
