Three or four hours later, Cheng Zhong actually saw Qinghai Lake.

Qinghai Lake, that is the place that makes Cheng Zhong infinitely fascinated.

His eyes were glued to the window, and he deeply sighed in his heart that this trip was worthwhile, and he could see the haunting Qinghai Lake.

He knows that Qinghai Lake is the largest lake on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the largest inland and saltwater lake in China.

Through books, he also knows some stories and legends about Qinghai Lake.

For example, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the story of Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo "making peace":

In that year, Princess Wencheng was married from Chang'an (i.e., Xi'an) to Tubo, a snowy region (i.e., the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau), and the road was far away and difficult, as separated by heaven and earth, and there was no chance to return to her hometown.

In order to comfort her, Tang Taizong asked a master from outside the world to make a sun and moon treasure mirror for her.

After nearly a year's long journey, the "Heqin" team traveled to Chiling, and when they were about to leave the border of the Tang Dynasty, the princess stood on the top of the mountain.

Raise your head and look eastward, thousands of acres of fertile fields, willows in rows, cooking smoke drifting, in the farthest place to see, there is her hometown that she thinks about day and night.

Turning around and looking west, the vast grassland, dotted with cattle and sheep, the sky is high and the clouds are light, it is the place where she is about to spend her life.

She ordered someone to take out the treasure mirror and look at it.

Chang'an in the mirror, the market is prosperous, the palace is majestic, and the parents and relatives are vivid, and they can't help but think about it.

Suddenly remembered his important task of marrying well and maintaining the harmony between the Han people and Tibet, and saw the expectant eyes of Songtsen Gampo, the king of Tubo.

She resolutely threw the Sun and Moon Mirror down the valley.

With an earth-shattering loud noise, the treasure mirror turned into a vast blue sea of Qinghai Lake.

The princess burst into tears, and her tears flowed into an inverted river, which flowed into Qinghai Lake from east to west.

Later generations admired and missed the princess, and in order to remember the place where she left the sun and moon mirror to cut off homesickness, Chiling was called Sun Moon Mountain......

The shuttle bus goes all the way.

Like magic, Qinghai Lake first appeared in the distance as far as Cheng Zhong's eyes could see without warning, and then quickly grew larger and came to his side.

At this moment, Qinghai Lake lies there flat, like the sea, and there is no edge as far as the sea.

The surface of the lake has frozen into a thick layer of ice, and the lake body is like a huge "magic mirror", shining with ten thousand points of golden light under the light of the not strong sunlight.

The shuttle bus walked along the lakeside, and Cheng Zhong's heart was immersed in shock and excitement for a long time.

I really want to pull someone over and tell him how I feel in my heart.

But the few people left in the car, all of them have calm eyes, they are not used to seeing them, and some of them even can't wake up from a sound sleep, which is really hard to find.

Ma's second wife is similar to Cheng Zhong's performance.

She also pressed her face against the cold car window and stared blankly......

Not far from the Great Lake, the man began to pack his things and prepare to get out of the car.

Cheng Zhong knew that his destination was approaching.

But when the couple got out of the car, Cheng Zhong did not immediately follow.

The shuttle started again, and five minutes later, Cheng Zhong suddenly shouted:

"Stop, stop! I'm sorry, I fell asleep and almost oversat over!"

The driver was so angry that he cursed, but Cheng Zhong ignored it and ran away.

He didn't want to attract the attention of the two men, and deliberately let the car go some distance before getting out of the car.

With his running speed, he is not afraid that he will be lost.

There are no buildings nearby, which means you still need to walk.

Cheng Zhong rushed back and quickly found his goal.

The man and woman were two hundred meters away, and they left the road and headed north.

The terrain is flat and has a great view.

Cheng Zhong didn't care whether there was a road or not, he stepped on the dry grass and thin snow, and walked forward unhurriedly.

Listening to people's small talk in the car, it seems that I have arrived in the Haibei area of QH Province.

Cheng Zhong's geographical knowledge is very limited, except for Qinghai Lake, he knows nothing about the situation in Haibei.

The first time he set foot on the grassland, he saw a completely different scenery from his hometown Longzs District.

In my hometown, there are barren mountains and mountains everywhere, and one hill after another is crowded together.

The village is squeezed into a palm-sized clearing in the middle of the mountains, and there is a feeling of breathlessness.

"I climbed the mountain when I went out, and the line of sight was half a mile away. "It's the real feeling that his hometown gave him.

In order to see farther, Cheng Zhong often ran to the commanding heights of Tiemu Mountain and looked into the distance for a long time.

Only at the top of the mountain will I feel that my suppressed heart has become open.

Now on the grassland, Cheng Zhong experienced for the first time that his vision was unobstructed.

The blue sky is vast, the earth is boundless, and people's hearts are completely opened.

In all directions, at the limit of his eyesight, heaven and earth naturally meet, forming a huge circle.

The grassland is spread out under his feet, with occasional gentle slope undulations, like a slightly rising wave on a calm sea, which reflects the vastness of the grassland.

At this moment, Cheng Zhong is like a poor little fish, swimming on the surface of the boundless sea.

The contrast between the vastness of nature and its own insignificance made his heart flutter......

Cheng Zhong was afraid that his fragile soul would be completely lost in the vast grassland, so he didn't dare to look far away, nor did he dare to think about it anymore, and tried to take his attention back.

In addition to animal feces, the grass under his feet is full of animal bones.

Some of the bones are very intact.

The predator is like a clever artist, gnawing the flesh to the brink, and the bones still seem to be connected by the big tendons, never scattered, and the bones stand there like landmarks, which makes Cheng Zhong "tsk" amazed.

Of course, most of the bones are still scattered, and you will come across one or two every few steps.

Some of the bones are obviously cattle and sheep, while others are smaller, such as rabbits, marmots and other small animals.

There were also bones that made him suspicious, like ...... It's like a human skeleton.

Soon, Cheng Zhong's suspicions became a reality.

Because two meters away from Cheng Zhong, a complete human skull was staring at him with empty eyes.

Rao is Cheng Zhong was bold, and he was also shocked into a cold sweat.

If you go further, you will come across human bones from time to time.

Whenever he encountered such bones, Cheng Zhong was filled with awe, and silently prayed in his heart, praying that their souls would be freed from the flesh that had suffered and live happily in heaven.

Cheng Zhong walked forward in fear, his eyes only staring at the pair of men and women in front of him.

How did Cheng Zhong know that this was once a relatively concentrated labor camp for heavy criminals and rightists in the state.

During the "three years of difficulty", countless prisoners died of starvation here, and many prisoners escaped from prison, either at the mouth of fierce beasts or starved to death on the grassland.

"You don't see, Qinghai head, no one has collected white bones since ancient times. The sky was cloudy and rainy, and the voice was sad. ”

In that special era, how many historical recidivists in the alternating period of the old and new societies were "reformed" here.

No one knows how many unjust souls who have been branded as "rightists" for no reason are weeping and struggling here.

The wheels of history roll forward.

And some of the once living lives have stopped here forever.

Only the hard bones remained, and they remained in the vast grassland.

They have lived in this world like ordinary people, and they have loved and hated like ordinary people, but all this has been annihilated by the dust of history......

Finally, a hillside appeared in front of me.

Along the grassland under the hillside, there are more than a dozen large earthen sieges.

The earth siege city is a bit like the big fortress of the old society of Cheng Zhong's hometown to prevent bandits, but it is much larger, and there are watchtowers on each earthen city wall.

Along the walled city, there are scattered simple bungalows and small tents, forming the shape of a street.

After a long journey, the man and woman walked down the street, tired and staggering.

They held each other in their arms and pulled into the third earthen walled city.

Seeing clearly the iron gate where the target disappeared and knowing that it had reached the ground, Cheng Zhong relieved his heart, and was not afraid that they would fly away.

He's hungry now.

I thought, when the sky falls, I will eat a full meal first.

Crawling along the potholed pavement of the street, Cheng Zhong wanted to find a place to fill his stomach as soon as possible.

In just ten minutes, Cheng Zhong had already turned around all the bungalows and small tents.

These bungalows and small tents are rudimentary, mostly inhabited by people, with pots and pans.

"It shouldn't be difficult to get something to eat, but if you want to eat better, I'm afraid it's not possible. Cheng Zhong thought.

Seeing a large tent in the distance, he walked briskly over it.

The heavy curtain of the tent drooped, as if there was no one, but a strange sound came out.

"Anyone?" Cheng Zhong screamed outside the big tent.

"Of course there are people!" a dull voice responded, but no one came out.

Cheng Zhong did not rush in, but stood in front of the door and waited patiently.

After a long time, a sturdy Tibetan man lifted the curtain and bent over.

He stared at Cheng Zhong and asked with a fierce face:

"Where did you come from, this doll, and what are you bothering me for?"

"Excuse me...... Do you have anything to eat here?" Cheng Zhong also felt a little abrupt, and he couldn't speak smoothly.

"Oh, even if you have a lot of doll skills, you've found the right place, this is a restaurant!"

The man's expression became lively, and he smiled and lifted the curtain of the door, signaling Cheng Zhong to enter.

There is a lot of space inside the tent, and it can accommodate dozens of people.

As soon as I entered, a number of small square tables were set up, and a large carpet was laid on the north side, and around the carpet was a circle of low floor tables.

The carpet and floor table are not of low grade, and they should be rare luxuries here.

The tent was brightly lit, and a girl was wiping the table neatly.

This girl was born with fair skin, thin eyebrows and picturesque eyebrows, beautiful eyes, and a slender and soft body, unlike a woman who has lived in the harsh environment of the plateau for a long time.

Cheng Zhong couldn't help but look at it several times.

"Uncle, I want the best meat and some barley wine. Cheng Zhong said loudly.

He knows some Tibetan customs, drinking is a must, otherwise people will look down on you.

The man looked at Cheng Zhong with approving eyes, and said with a smile:

"Haha, your doll seems to have seen the world, you can drink at a young age, how many taels can you drink?"

"I mainly want to fight the cold, and I also want to ask my uncle to have a few drinks with me!" Cheng Zhong said calmly.

"Okay, good, the doll is atmospheric enough!" said the man with a thumbs up to Cheng Zhong.

Then he turned to the woman and shouted:

"Xiaoning, do you hear me? Hurry up and make hot tea. I'm going to cut some beef and mix it first, and the mutton will be put in the pot immediately. Doll, please sit here!"

In the blink of an eye, the man became an enthusiastic businessman, beckoning Cheng Zhong and urging the girl, and the two of them went in and out of the place.

Cheng Zhong sat cross-legged, leaned behind the floor table on the side of the carpet, and took off his hat and bag and placed them beside him.

A wave of sleepiness hit, his eyelids began to fight, and he wanted to fake sleep for a while, but he quickly fell asleep.

He was so tired that the experience of two days was beyond the limits of what his age could bear.
