Chapter 239: The Shepherd Girl
We were still a little thirsty and hungry just now, but now we have no hunger from the corpse in front of us. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
We hurried forward and continued on our way, and I don't know how long we walked, and there was a red glow on the other side of the mountain, and the color of the fire in the sky was very beautiful, but the sky gradually darkened.
The temperature gradually decreased, and there was no more people or food to be found, and it was estimated that Blue Moon and I would freeze to death at night.
When I was anxious, I had to speed up the pace of my feet, and after crossing another mountain, I heard a melodious Tibetan song.
I followed the sound and saw a girl in traditional Tibetan costume not far away, wielding a whip to drive away several Tibetan antelopes in front of her.
This is the first time I have seen a "living person" in a day, and although I am not sure if the girl is a good person or a bad person, I can only go up and find out for it.
I quickly opened my mouth and shouted loudly twice, and the girl turned her head when she heard this, found me and Blue Moon on the hillside, and waved at us.
At least she wasn't hostile for now, and we hurried down the hill as we were hungry.
As soon as we arrived at the bottom of the mountain, the smile on the girl's face was gradually disappearing, and she first looked at us in a daze, and then subconsciously raised the whip in her hand to protect her.
It may be a problem with our attire, seeing that we are aliens, that's why the girl is so deeply guarded.
I quickly smiled and tried to show that I had no malicious intentions.
"Hello, where is this place?"
The girl on the other side frowned, shook her head at us, signaled that she didn't understand, and then muttered a lot of Tibetan.
Since there is a real barrier to communication, I just thought about what to say.
"Tashi Delek!" I remember saying that this phrase means greeting in Tibetan when I was in school, and I didn't hesitate anymore and quickly said it to the girl.
After the girl heard this, her face suddenly eased a lot, although there was no Hada in her hands, but I had also seen the posture of offering Hada, so I also pretended to make that posture towards the girl.
Maybe the way I learned was too funny, and the next second the girl actually laughed.
However, my eyes stayed on a water bladder on the girl's waist, and now I and Blue Moon were thirsty and hungry......
The sensible girl smiled when she saw our simple appearance, and then untied the water bladder on her waist and handed it to me, and after bowing her head to express her gratitude, I untied the water bladder and handed it to Blue Moon.
After taking two sips, the sad expression on her face eased a lot, and she handed the water bladder back to me.
I didn't hesitate, I'm a big man, I don't pay so much attention to it, there is no such thing as indirect kissing, and I drank it directly.
As soon as the water entered my throat, I felt refreshed.
The water in the bladder is so sweet and delicious, this unpolluted water source is definitely much better than the mineral water sold outside.
I couldn't resist taking two more sips before I handed the water bladder back to the girl.
The girl smiled sweetly, took the water bladder, and took out a few biscuit-like lumps from the package around her waist and handed them to us, signaling that we could eat them.
Although I don't know what kind of food it is made of, when I smell it lightly, it still tastes good, and it is crispy and moist in my mouth.
Maybe it's because I haven't eaten in a long time, but I think it's the best dim sum I've ever eaten in my life.
After eating and drinking, Blue Moon and I rode the yak behind the girl and walked towards her home.
Along the way, although the girl did not speak the same language as us, she always had a kind face, and from time to time she hummed beautiful Tibetan songs in a low voice.
It wasn't until it was almost completely dark that a faint light lit up in the distance.
When we got closer, we were greeted by a row of strange buildings.
It is a type of house made of rubble or earth, and is three to four storeys high.
The appearance looks like a bunker, the appearance is dignified and simple, and the style is simple and rough.
The wall is thick and thin, the shape is large and small, and the building plane is relatively simple, generally multi-square plane, and there is also a curved ruler-shaped plane.
After the girl drove the Tibetan antelope into the sheepfold, she took me and Lan Yue into one of the houses.
At home, there are four people sitting in the house, namely an old lady, a middle-aged man and a woman, and a little boy of three or four years old.
When the middle-aged man saw the girl leading me and Lan Yue in, he immediately stood up, pulled out a simple Tibetan knife from the side of the bed, and took an attacking posture at us.
Seeing this, the girl hurriedly protected us behind her, and said something to the middle-aged man, and after the man and the girl argued for a few words, she slowly put down the knife, and walked forward with vigilance to look at me and Lan Yue for a moment.
"Where are you from?" The middle-aged man asked us in his very broken Chinese.
Seeing that he could speak Chinese, I immediately felt happy: "Hello uncle, my name is Sun Xiaohe, from Shandong, she is my sister Lanyue, from Hubei!" ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he looked at us suspiciously for a moment before continuing to ask: "I haven't heard of these two places, are you the spies of our Tubo in the Central Plains?" ”
"Tibet?" I looked at the middle-aged man blankly: "Isn't this Tibet?" ”
"Tibet? What does Tibet mean? The middle-aged man wondered.
"Forehead...... "Tibet, if I'm not mistaken, I called Tibet that way a long, long time ago!"
Could it be that the world in this painting is ancient Tibet?
If that's the case, then everything is clearly explained!
Thinking of this, I opened my mouth and continued to ask, "What year is it now, uncle?" ”
"I don't know what you mean......"
"Who is the emperor now?"
"Your Central Plains Dynasty is very chaotic now, the two Shu, Wu and Southern Tang have established the country, and now you can't tell who is the king of the Central Plains......"
"What about the Tang Dynasty?"
"Datang? Long gone......"
Now I fully understood, and sure enough, the current historical background is based on the historical background of the Maiden's sacrifice to the Buddha Thangka at that time.
So where is Brother Haojie now?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask, "Uncle, has there been a young man dressed here recently, who is about the same as us?" ”
The middle-aged man shook his head when he heard this: "Without our whole family and the people in this village, they all came here to take refuge, and there are no people within a radius of two hundred miles here. I had been to the Central Plains in my early years, so I could barely speak some of your Han languages. Since then, we haven't seen a Han Chinese here! ”
When I heard this, I was very confused, couldn't Brother Haojie and we enter the same place?
