Tibetan Snow Mountain Chapter 29: Gathering will eventually be different
Regarding the mysterious village under the snow-capped mountains, the fat man didn't mention it too much.
The same villages, in the vast land of Tibet, are as many as the stars in the sky, and there are countless of them.
Moreover, the village was abandoned years ago! Unlike the Ba tribe, which has a natural geographical location, living at the foot of the snow-capped mountains, although there are mountains on all sides to block the wind and snow, but the danger of avalanches may occur at any time.
Gesang and Meiduo are not very clear about when the villagers moved away. The fat man was caught in the depths of the snowy mountains with the expedition of the "Europa" company and was brought back by Master Liu and rescued. The second time I went back there, the villagers at the foot of the mountain were all relocated!
In the words of the fat man, it seems that they are hiding from some kind of disaster! As for Uncle Nima and the rest of the expedition members, he never saw them again! Later, after listening to Little Peter's narration, I learned that all the expedition members were trapped and died in the depths of the snowy mountains! And Uncle Nima is gone, and unsurprisingly, he should also be trapped somewhere in the vast snow-capped mountains, and his body has not been found yet!
The snowstorm lasted for several days, and the snow and fog filled the entire road leading to the snow-capped mountain pass. At an altitude like ours, such snowstorms are common!
Gesang was right, our car could only drive to the Ba tribe, because the mountain road only extended to the Ba village. I began to admire the villagers who used to live at the foot of the snow-capped mountains! In the face of perennial wind and snow conditions, they can live peacefully, which is really admirable!
In the next few days, Yiyi and I were able to relax our nerves and live a quiet life in Ba people.
Mei Duo often came to our accommodation and invited us to drink a special taste of local tea. This tea is still a little different from Tibetan butter tea, and the taste is more brewy! However, after drinking, you can clearly feel the body relax.
Gesang occasionally joined us in the studze, but more often than not, he shut himself in the door.
Since we came to the Ba tribe, I have a feeling that Gesang's temperament has become more and more withdrawn and eccentric! Even when he talks to us, he often wanders out of the world, and there are some like Xiao Qian's initial appearance, the state of separation between the soul and the body!
Meiduo and Yiyi have a lot of chat, and they both like history. The conditions of the Ba tribe are limited, and it is difficult for Meiduo to see some history books, so Yiyi told her a lot of historical stories that she didn't know before!
She told us that if Yiyi and I were going to give up this adventure, we could go to Beijing together to "live in peace", and we had been separated from Aunt Ming for a long time, and she missed Aunt Ming very much!
I didn't tell Mido what the purpose of going to the legendary "entrance to hell" in the depths of the snow-capped mountains was.
However, Meiduo knows Gesang's beliefs, as well as what he calls the deer god Daxian.
She told me and Yiyi privately that the deer god immortal that Gesang feared did not exist at all! That escape from death hit Gesang's spirit, and to describe his mental state in medical terms, that is, depression!
I've seen depressed patients, and Meiduo suspects that Gesang developed the disease after that experience. However, judging from Gesang's monetization and conversation, there is not much resemblance to the depressed patients in my impression! If he really suffered from an illness that was tortured by that experience, as Meiduo said, it was mostly a disease of imagination or something!
Perhaps, our conjectures are incorrect, Gesang said
The deer god immortal is real!
Meiduo's dissuasion, of course Gesang is against it! He doesn't say the reason, and I know it! It was in my capacity as his successor appointed by the Deer God Daisen that I had him agree to take us to the "Entrance to Hell"! If we return to Beijing with Yiyi now, then his freedom will be gone again!
During the time I lived in the Ba tribe, I talked to Meiduo's father and some old people in the tribe!
Meiduo's father is very easy-going, all I want to know is about the "entrance to hell" after the snowy mountain pass, and he told me everything he knows in detail!
The general content is roughly similar to the legends I heard before! The legends of the Yin soldier aisles, vampire demons, and the sound of fighting at night have been passed down among the various tribes that have lived around this snow-capped mountain for generations!
In addition to these questions, I also asked Medo's father what he plans for the future of his tribe!
His answer was in the affirmative, live for generations! In his words, the prosperity outside is worldly, and it is more important than anything else for people to be able to live a leisurely and carefree life in this life!
His kind of free and easy is admirable, yes, how many autumns can life have! There is no worldly distraction, and living a peaceful life is what many people yearn for!
Of course, he, the patriarch, is still very open-minded, and he is curious about the outside world for the young people in the tribe! He is very supportive, and their tribe has connections with those Ba tribes beyond the mountains! As long as the people here want to go to the secular world to live, those Ba tribes will accept them! And some people who don't want to continue to be disturbed by the world want to come and live here, and he is also very welcome!
This creates a good cycle, and I think this kind of cycle is probably only suitable for the Ba people with a small population!
Our location, quite far from the city, the nearest power station and signal tower are a long way away! The mobile phones and some communication devices that Yiyi and I carried on us were useless!
I don't know if the fat man and Aunt Ming have been in contact with me during this time! But even if they tried to find us, it wouldn't be of much use! Everything is waiting for our return from the snow mountain, and then we will discuss it! Now, Yiyi and I have disappeared from that mundane world!
To the surprise of all of us, this calm and harmonious atmosphere of ours did not last long! On the fifth day we waited for the snow to stop on the road leading to the snowy mountain pass! Something unexpected happened!
Gesang is dead!
I never dreamed that Gesang would die!
The wind and snow in front of the snow-capped mountain pass are easing every day. Every day, I go to the peak full of rhododendrons on the top of the mountain, and look out at the pass hidden in the wind and snow in the distance!
That pass probably felt my attention, and gradually with the weakening of the wind and snow, it revealed its true face of Lushan!
At the confluence of turquoise glaciers on all sides, there is a narrow low slope! The pass, surrounded by the surrounding glaciers, appeared in my sight like a space-time tunnel leading to another dimension!
My prediction is that this snowstorm will stop completely on the fifth day of our stay in the Ba tribe!
When I packed everything up and pushed open the door of Gesang's room, I was shocked by what I saw! Gesang hung in the middle of his room, and around his neck was a rope twisted out of plants by the Ba tribesmen! Just hang yourself! Die quietly!
He necks
The rope on the son is green, which contrasts with his dark skin!
There's a letter on the ground in the middle of the house! It's for me!
The content of the letter is simple, assigning us the location of the "entrance to hell" and explaining the reason for his suicide!
After crossing the snow-capped mountain pass and arriving at the village at the foot of the mountain, we just had to wait for the instructions of the deer god Daxian! This is the location of the "entrance to hell" that Gesang has designated for us!
And his suicide is also related to the deer god Daxian that he believes in!
I can see that the change in his state is not my delusion, he has been contemplating suicide for the past few days! It is only today that this plan has been implemented! This is all due to his dream, and the guidance given to him by the deer god in the dream is to sacrifice himself!
Meiduo is right, Gesang is indeed suffering from depression, but this depression is not the traditional depression in our impression! His symptoms are one of imagination and fantasy!
At the end of the letter, there is this line: "As my successor, the next servant designated by the deer god Daxian!" You'll end up like I do! It's a choice for the highest glory! ”
Gesang's death made the entire Ba tribe hostile to me and Yiyi! They think that Gesang was forced to death by us!
If it weren't for Meiduo's father and Meiduo's maintenance, I think Yiyi's safety and I would have been threatened by some people!
There are radicals everywhere, whether it's a peaceful tribe or a secular society, and even bigger, any country, any regime! They will punish those they think are wrong!
This incident has made it no longer suitable for Yiyi and me to continue to stay in this tribe!
As I expected, the wind and snow in the mountains really stopped on the morning of Gesang's death!
My parcel and Yiyi's parcel were already ready before we found out that Gesang was hanging! Meiduo packed me and Yiyi with dry food for a few days, and if we didn't get lost, it would have supported us to return to the tribe again!
The idea of Meiduo wanting to join our expedition was nipped in the bud by Yiyi and me!
Although Meiduo is the daughter of the patriarch of this tribe, she has the same temperament as Aunt Ming! But her body is even weaker than Yiyi, a sickly weakness!
This is also the reason why her mother will leave Meiduo in the care of Aunt Ming! Because, since she was born, she has had a rare disease! Under Aunt Ming's many requests for medicine and care, Meiduo's condition has been stabilized!
It can be seen that in the past few days of getting along, Meiduo has already had feelings for me and Yiyi! As my experience has become more and more, this kind of pure emotion has made me more and more reluctant! For Meiduo's emotions, like Xiaoqian and the dead scorpion, I want to cherish it, but helplessly, there will be a farewell when we get together!
This snowstorm did not completely seal the road before the snow-capped mountain pass!
Yiyi and I wore the animal skin coats that Meiduo prepared for us, and walked towards the snow-capped mountain pass in the distance!
