Chapter I

In 2007, I entered Tibet with a team of senior travelers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's ridiculous to say that the reason why I, who have always been lazy and comfortable, chose this almost masochistic way to vent was because the girl I had had a crush on since middle school that year got married, and the groom was not me.

During that time, I almost had a breakdown, and I was mentally abnormal, and I had just graduated from college and finally found a way to find a promising job, which was also fired because I was absent from work for a week. At that time, I was like a ghost, day and night in the rental house of only a dozen square meters of alcohol, drinking too much to hold the wine bottle and crying and yelling, the mouth over and over again called "Milan, Milan......" how can I not accept the 6 years of spare tire once kicked by the bitter character, I really love that girl!

Fortunately, the third child I slept with in college was also in this city, and when he heard the news of his marriage in Milan, he was worried that something would happen to me, so he came to accompany me every day after work. I said I don't have to accompany me, and I'm worried that my buddy won't want to jump off the building, what's wrong? Dude, I can't do that kind of bastard thing! The third child said, "I'm not worried about you jumping off the building, the windows of this broken community you live in are not as wide as your body!" What's more, it's still the second floor, and you can't fall to death if you jump, and then you smash the flowers and plants downstairs and the children, isn't it evil! "I looked at this humble rental house, with four walls, and then at the window that was really not as wide as my body, and thought about the rich second generation that Milan was going to marry, and wailed and cried even more fiercely......

The third child was the main force of the college debate team in college, and he could get the ranking in the debate competition every year, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a good tongue and a lotus, and he slowly persuaded me, my spirit is a lot better, of course, this grandson also wants to pick up the bricks and shoot him to death in minutes! Later, on the day of Milan's wedding, I didn't make trouble or play tricks to rob relatives, but I just used my only 10,000 yuan savings to do something romantic and tragic, I ordered a truckload of blooming jasmine, and put pots at the door of the Milan wedding hotel, which was Milan's favorite flower, that sad morning to the present, are still fragrant jasmine fragrance, and Milan saw me standing in the flowers when the sad and apologetic eyes.

One day after that, I suddenly got tired of this smoky city, I wanted to go out for a walk, but I had no choice but to be short of money and food, so I remembered that the third child had an experience of being a backpacker, so I called to see if I could take me together, the third was an internship in a Fortune 500 company at that time, busy and dark, said so, he can't go, but now there is a team to take the Sichuan-Tibet line, but this team is a senior traveler, easy not to bring newcomers, but the captain of this team is his friend of life and death, Once encountered quicksand in the Badain Jaran Desert, or the old three-eyed rescued him quickly, you can ask.

Fortunately, the captain was very talkative and agreed to take me with him. There are seven people in this team, including me, a rookie, there are eight people, six men and two women. Since we were about to meet in Chengdu, Sichuan, I bought a direct train ticket to Chengdu, packed my bags and hit the road. As an authentic northerner, I have never been to such a far place, although I bought a hard seat ticket for a big green car, the carriage was full of instant noodles, toilets, and the smell of foxes, mixed with the crying of children and the scolding of adults, but it did not affect my mood to go to a distant place alone, I put on my headphones and sat in the window seat, pretending to be a quiet beautiful man all the way.

The train finally arrived in Chengdu, it turned out that there was a price for loading x, I dragged the body that was about to fall apart and lived in a youth hostel called "Dragon and Tiger Hall" with a haggard face, and I chose a six-person room, bunk beds, 20 yuan a bed, not expensive. I propped myself into the room, and fell asleep on the bed without taking a shower.

I arrived two days earlier than the agreed day, so I had plenty of time to explore the city, which is known as the land of abundance. After a round of shopping, bowl chicken, hot pot, three cannons, rabbit heads, Korean buns, and bean curd bombarded in turn, and the straight food supported the intestines and stomach, and I couldn't wait to drown in the snack street in the old city, and I thought that this is really a comfortable and good place! Oh no, the locals call this comfortable state "Bashi", so much so that I love this place to death for two days!

Two days later, teammates arrived one after another. The captain of this team is called Liming, yes, it is Liming with the same name as Liming, one of the four kings of Hong Kong. I only talked to him on the phone before, his voice was calm and sven, it sounded like a cultural person with eyes and learning, but I didn't expect to see a big man full of tendons and meat, with a height of 185, the skin is a very healthy and bright wheat color, the facial features seem to be carved out of a knife, a bit of mixed blood, looking like the statue called "David" carved by Mi What Kiro, instantly compared me to the dust! I looked at the two girls in their twenties and looked at him with red hearts in his eyes, I sighed, looked at other male teammates with big eyes and small eyes, and thought to myself, damn, although the wolf has more meat and less meat, but I still think that with the appearance of Lao Tzu, maybe there will be an affair or something, it is really a teacher who dies before he can get out of school!

The next step is to introduce each other, get familiar with each other, assign responsibilities to emphasize the rules of team building, be familiar with the route, and then check whether the equipment is complete and replenish it in time. It can be seen that the team is more or less familiar, and they are all senior travelers, and some have even walked the Sichuan-Tibet line more than twice, so everyone in the whole meeting is quite relaxed, only I, a rookie, listen very carefully in order not to drag my feet too much on the road.

After gathering, the group repaired in Chengdu for a day, and at seven o'clock the next morning, our group set off with a huge backpack. We take the Sichuan-Tibet line is the most precipitous, but also the most beautiful Sichuan-Tibet South Line, the route is: from the famous 318 National Highway out of Chengdu, passing through Ya'an - Luding - Kangding - Xinduqiao - Litang - Yajiang - Batang - Zhubalong - Mangkang - Zuogong - Bangda - Basu - Ranwu - Bomi - Tongmai - 811 - Gongbu Jiangda - Mozhugong - finally reach Lhasa, the whole journey is more than 2,400 kilometers, including several landslide areas, several mountain passes, through several turbulent rivers, There are several day insurances, and we don't hitchhike the whole way.

At the end of the second day of walking, there was a significant gap between my physique and these senior travelers, although I was also the main force of the basketball team in college, and my physical fitness was also considered to be in the middle of the men, but I would like to say that being a backpacker really has little to do with these, and most of the strength of walking depends on tenacity and perseverance.

The Li team was quite worried, saying that he had not suggested that I take such a dangerous line as a newcomer, and it was still too late to quit, and said that this was not something that could be done if I wanted to, and I don't know how many backpackers and cyclists died of overwork or rapid dehydration on this line in a year, and death may be a matter of a quarter of an hour, because it is too late to send to the nearest hospital, not to mention that this line is dangerous and urgent, and a careless person may be either dead or injured.

I picked the blisters on my feet, grinned in pain, and my stubborn temper came up and became ruthless: "On the way to death, I have to die, and if I don't go to Lhasa, Lao Tzu will not return to Beijing!" with you! As he spoke, he picked out another blister, and wiped it with an alcohol cotton and screamed in pain.

The Li team had no choice but to follow me, but this intimate big guy asked everyone to take care of me as much as possible that night, of course, I didn't know these at the time, and I only heard a teammate talk about it later, which made me so moved that later, no matter what identity I became, I always maintained a very solid relationship with the Li team.

The rest of the story will not be shown for the time being, and it is needless to say that along the way, there is no need to say that the hardships are not to be said, and it is light to say that half of my life is gone. But I have also walked through the beautiful and magnificent rivers, seen the scenery that I have never seen in the first 24 years of my life, facing the lake in the mountain stream that is bluer than the sky, the still lake like a mirror reflects the snow-capped mountains in the distance, showing an almost strange color, I shouted, the haze in my heart dissipated, forget the noisy city, forget the simple rental house, forget the girl in the city who has been married! To be honest, at that moment, I felt like my outlook on life had been rewritten.

When I entered the Tibetan area, I gradually got used to it, but the Li team still often tried to get me some Tibetan butter tea and tsampa and the like, saying that this can prevent altitude sickness, and Tibetan food is the best altitude sickness medicine. Originally, I was worried about how my stomach could eat this thing, but it was quite strange, when the Li team first brought it to me, I actually ate it very smoothly, and in a trance, I felt that I should have eaten such food, including the posture and habits of Tibetans when eating and drinking, I actually made it naturally!

Team Li looked strange and asked in surprise: "Are you sure you are coming to Tibet for the first time?" ”

I was drinking butter tea, completely unaware that something was wrong, "Well, why do you ask?" ”

Team Li stared at me again, and finally shook his head: "I have been to Tibet many times, including many remote Tibetan areas, and Tibetans have their own unique set of etiquette and habits when eating and drinking...... It's exactly the same as the most native Tibetan habits I've ever seen."

Me: "Huh? "With a sigh, Xindao just drank butter tea and ate tsamba, is there any other etiquette and habit of Laoshizi? Holding the bowl and looking around, he didn't find anything special, so he laughed and said, "It's so profound? Isn't it just eating, what's different? ”

Team Li still shook his head and said firmly: "It's different"

I smiled and patted him on the shoulder without speaking, thinking that this guy was too serious, and I didn't have the heart to discuss it more about such a secret, so I drank it in a few sips, wiped my mouth, and fell asleep in my sleeping bag.

However, maybe it was the words of the Li team that I did go to my heart, and after that day, this kind of wrongness, the more I went deeper into the Tibetan area, the more I felt the next thing.
