Tibetan Snow Mountains Chapter 25: The Baba People

Compared with the endless no-man's-land highway in Lop Nur, the "heavenly road" connecting to the sky in Tibet is not very long, and after Gesang's car passes through a slope, the scene in front of it changes to a different level.

After the downhill, there are three forks in the road ahead.

The straight road is still connected to the sky, and you can see the upward slope in the distance.

The forks on the left and right sides lead to the direction of the snow-capped mountains on both sides, and the road seems to be open in the middle of the mountainside. From the car window, you can only see the road surface on this side of the snow-capped mountain, and the rest of the road is all around the back of the mountain.

At the fork in the road, Gesang took the steering wheel on the right, and our route was changed to turn on the snowy mountain road on the right.

Above the road, you can see many power towers built on the mountainside, and the power lines are erected on top of the power towers, extending far away.

The top of the mountain peak, which is faintly visible in the distance, is white, and the mountain peaks connected to it behind it are hidden in the thick mist, creating a mysterious atmosphere for our road ahead.

I asked Gesang, "How long will it take?" ”

Gesang looked down at his watch and said, "If there is no accident affecting our normal driving, we will probably be able to reach the outer tribes of that snow-capped mountain before dinner!" ”

I looked back at Yiyi, her attention completely focused on the view outside the window.

It has to be said that this picturesque beauty of Tibetan areas has a self-healing effect. Even if you have a lot of tricky things in your heart before you come, when you see the clear blue sky and misty snow-capped mountains outside the window, it seems that at this moment, you have a feeling of detachment from the world.

Such highways can be found everywhere in Tibetan areas where snow-capped mountains are everywhere. Along the way, we could see a lot of private cars parked on the side of the road, and the people in the cars went down the hill or climbed higher to take pictures. There are also many cycling enthusiasts who are challenging the limits of human beings.

For these cycling enthusiasts, I admire the five-body casting. At such a high altitude, it took me days to overcome altitude sickness, and they were able to ride up the hill with all their physical strength!

As long as humans can continue to reproduce, they will always think about conquering nature and breaking through the limits of human beings.

This is a good gene, and if the survival of the fittest exists, I think this gene will be preserved intact! This gene will be more tenacious than the others!

This landscape lasted for a long time, until Gesang chose another fork in the road, and the sight of passers-by who enjoyed the scenery and challenged their limits disappeared.

We seem to be back on the no-man's land road in my impression again, and gradually, even the road is gone, and some are just uneven dirt roads!

The dirt road was narrow, just enough for Gesang's body to be placed on it. Also, this road is at the foot of the snow-capped mountains I saw before.

If you look up, you can see patches of white mist, swirling around the mountainside overhead. The white fog obscured most of the blue sky, creating patches of white clouds. Only when you look back can you see a clear blue sky without clouds!

The foothills of the snow-capped mountains on both sides of the dirt road we drove on were completely different from the snow-capped mountains on the peaks, and it seemed that there were two seasons here and on the slopes. The mountainside overhead was covered with snow, but the roots of the mountain on both sides outside the car window were bare.

Dark yellow rocks.

After a short while, we were back on a hillside road similar to the previous one!

By the end, I've lost count of how many similar paths we've taken! As the road disappears, the road we drive is getting harder and harder!

Even if Yiyi has such a good memory, after experiencing so many forks in the road, and so many eighteen or even nineteen or twenty bends in the mountain road, she told me that she can't remember the road she came from at all!

It's no wonder that few people know about the depths of the snow-capped mountains we are going to, and those who can remember the way there are either geniuses with a natural ability to remember and forget; Either that, or having walked this path countless times, has formed a fixed impression in the mind.

I think Gesang should belong to the latter.

I don't know what the so-called mission of the deer god Daxian he mentioned to me was. However, from his account, you can feel that he is very resistant to this task!

Along the way, Gesang rarely spoke, and unless I asked him some questions, he would speak in response to my questions.

The rest of the time, he was keeping a serious eye on the road ahead. In the second half of the road, it has become extremely difficult to walk, and if you don't pay all your attention to driving like Gesang, I am afraid that the slightest carelessness will cause the danger of overturning.

Not to mention the steep road we are driving on now, it is Gesang's residence, such a wide uphill road, those taxi drivers who pull us are not willing to go up! I'm afraid of some danger of rolling over!

Along the way, Yiyi and I didn't have any communication, this was something we had agreed upon after Gesang agreed to take us to the place we wanted to go! As the saying goes, if you say too much, you will lose! Dealing with a person like Gesang, there are too many words, and it is easy for him to hear the flaws!

It wasn't until it got dark that the somewhat oppressive, dreary atmosphere in our car was broken by Gesang's words.

"Where we will soon arrive, the people who live are not among the fifty-six nationalities we know! The people of every village there belong to an ethnic minority called the Yuren people! Their habits of life are different from those of our traditional fifty-six nationalities! When you get there, don't move around! If something goes wrong, the three of us can't solve it! ”

I have long heard of the Yuren tribe mentioned by Gesang.

The people of the Yuren tribe, generally known as the Yuba people, are distributed in southern Tibet, just like the Khambal people.

In the early days of liberation, these Luba people usually lived in the deep mountains and old forests of Tibetan areas, and still lived a primitive life of drinking blood. Nicknamed "monkey" by many, barbarian! In addition to this, the Ghuba people are also called "Mishmi", which means "uncivilized people".

After the liberation, many of the Paba people began to walk out of the deep mountains and forests and live the same modern life as the other 56 ethnic groups!

However, there are still many Yuba people who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests, living a primitive life that their ancestors have been accustomed to for generations!

I once saw a source that said that after such a long period of reproduction, the Baba people are no longer a small tribe with only 50,000 or 60,000 people in the early days of liberation! The number of their people has long exceeded that of some of the fifty-six ethnic groups, and the number also belongs to a small number of small ethnic groups! However, this statement is one

Straight has not been verified!

In addition to these, the most popular thing about the Gyba people is that their tribe has always practiced polygamy from ancient times to the present! A man can marry many daughters-in-law! This custom that has been handed down from ancient times is also the reason why the Ngba people are the most known to outsiders among the mysterious ethnic groups in Tibet!

Human beings have always been like this, desire and greed are two vices that cannot be avoided in any era, as long as there is a place for human beings to live!

After the founding of our country, we began to implement monogamy! However, for most men, it is still envious of the life of the old feudal society of polygamy! Therefore, this polygamous marriage system of the Yuba people is very popular with some men who have no family concept!

So much so that there were people who once organized activities to join the Yuba people and become the Yuren race! And it got a lot of responses, and of course, all the people who responded, were men!

After the liberation, there were only two recorded tribes of the Yuren people, one living in the Dulai River valley and speaking the Darang dialect; One is the Geman people of the Chayu River Valley, who speak Geman dialect. The two languages are different, but they speak the Darjan dialect. The Geman tribe is derived from the Burmese ethnic group. Many people say that the Yuba people are actually divided from Myanmar, like the Kazakhs and Tajiks, they should be called Burmese! Of course, this is just what some people think!

Although I have heard of the Servants, just as I have never met a lama, I have never seen a real Baba people! I think they must be just as mysterious as the Khambal people!

And, judging from the route we are driving today, this legendary tribe of the Baba people should not belong to the Dajang tribe and the Geman tribe, they are likely to be those who are not willing to go to the real society and live a real life!

I once suspected that Xiaoqian's tribe was the tribe of the Yuba people, but I later denied it! I've never seen a record of the Yuba people saying that they have some experience in treating their descendants as Xiao Qian said! Xiaoqian's tribe should be another, even more mysterious than the Yuba tribe, and there are also no minority tribes of fifty-six ethnic groups planned!

Soon after Gesang finished explaining to us, the car began to drive downhill. Night has not yet completely fallen, the surrounding environment has not darkened, and you can still faintly see the snow-capped peaks around you, as well as the clear blue sky!

As our road began to drive downward, a forest appeared in front of us! I can't see the name of the tree that grows here!

Yiyi recognized these trees, and she told me that these trees are an ancient relict plant, and where such trees grow, there will be abundant wildlife around! Here, it is suitable for some tribes who live by hunting!

Hunting is an ancient skill that the Baba people rely on to survive! The appearance of these relict plants shows that the tribe of the Yuba people we want to go to should be not far ahead!

Before we set off, Gesang had said that we would spend the night in one place! The rest of the road needs to ditch the four-wheeled car and move on on to two legs!
