I was wondering, but Dong Xiaodan said again: "However, you have to promise me one condition first." ”

Professor Dong immediately said: "If you have any requests, as long as you can help me convince your mother, I will agree to you!" ”

Dong Xiaodan smiled very secretly and said, "You have to let me go to Tibet with you!" ”

"What!?" Professor Dong was taken aback, it is estimated that he never thought that Dong Xiaodan would make such a request, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "This is absolutely not good!" ”

"Why not! Didn't you say that the scenery in Tibet is so beautiful, I want to go and see it too! ”

"But ......" Professor Dong was just about to say something, but Dong Xiaodan hurriedly said: "Anyway, if you don't let me go with you, you are not allowed to go!" ”

Seeing that their father and daughter were about to quarrel, I hurriedly said, "Uncle Dong, why don't you let Xiaodan go with you, as you said, it's time to travel!" ”

Speaking of this, I turned my head to Wen Qingshan and asked, "Boss Wen, you won't object to Xiao Dan going with you, right?" After all, it was Wen Qingshan's suggestion to go to Tibet, so naturally I still have to ask for his opinion.

Wen Qingshan nodded with a smile and said, "Of course I won't object." ”

Under my persuasion, and Wen Qingshan did not object, Professor Dong was not able to say anything, and finally had to agree to let Dong Xiaodan go to Tibet with him.

After returning from Professor Dong's place, we began to prepare all kinds of items that we needed to bring with us to Tibet, and for this reason, I also specially downloaded a Tibet travel guide from the Internet, and in the next few days, I and I purchased relevant items according to the strategy. Down jackets, quick-drying pants, hiking boots, windproof masks, sunglasses, hats, etc., I bought a whole bunch of them. And Wen Qingshan is even more generous, actually spent nearly two million to buy two diesel-powered Toyota off-road vehicles, and modified them accordingly to adapt to the cold and low-pressure climate in the plateau area.

It turned out that he was planning to drive to Tibet.

As soon as Qiē was ready, Wen Qingshan agreed with Professor Dong on a specific date to go to Tibet and set off three days later.

In addition to Professor Dong's father and daughter, Wen Qingshan also called one more person to go with him, that is Seabeard, he has rich experience in exploration, and has had many experiences in Tibet, and the most important thing is that everyone is familiar with him, so Wen Qingshan feels that it is more reliable to call him.

On the day of departure, I originally said that I would come to Wen Qingshan's house to meet first, but early in the morning, Dong Xiaodan called me, saying that she and Professor Dong had brought more things, and asked me to drive to pick them up.

I drove downstairs to her house, and after calling her, she and Professor Dong walked out of the corridor with large bags and small bags.

"Why do you two bring so many things!?" I asked, surprised.

Professor Dong looked at Dong Xiaodan and said with a smile: "Of these four boxes, three of them contain Xiaodan's things. ”

Dong Xiaodan's lips curled slightly, and said, "Actually, I still have a lot of things I haven't brought!" If my dad hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to ......."

Before she could finish speaking, I hurriedly interrupted her: "Don't think about it anymore, we are not permanent when we go to Tibet, it is necessary for you to bring so many things!" ”

"How is it not necessary! If you think about it, Tibet may be deserted for hundreds of miles, and if I need something, it will be impossible to buy it at that time, so of course I have to be prepared. Dong Xiaodan said confidently.

I shook my head helplessly, and had to stuff a lot of their luggage into the car, although the trunk of the car is not small, but after their luggage is stuffed in, there is basically no space. But fortunately, there is a luggage rack on the roof of this car, which can still hold a lot of things.

I picked up Dong Xiaodan and Professor Dong and returned to Wen Qingshan's house, and Seabeard had already arrived, and he drove a modified JEEP Wrangler. The seats in the back of the car were all removed, and there were a lot of things in the car, some of which Wen Qingshan asked him to prepare, including four boxes of 50-liter spare diesel, eight barrels of 5-gallon bottled water, more than a dozen portable oxygen tanks, and two windproof tents.

It is nearly 4,000 kilometers from Xiangsha City to Nagqu in Tibet, and it takes almost three days to drive there. In order to prevent fatigue driving, the six of us were divided into three groups, two people in each car, Dong Xiaodan insisted on having a car with me, so we were in a group, Wen Qingshan and Cheap in a group, and Professor Dong and Seabeard in a group.

Dong Xiaodan and I don't know how long it has been since we have been alone like this, and we are still in the small space of the carriage, my heart is both nervous and excited, at first, I don't know what to say to her, but soon we chatted, starting from recalling our college life, talking about the recent situation of Wang Hai, brute and other classmates, and talking about her current work, I don't know what topic to talk about, she suddenly asked me: "Mo Shiyu, why haven't you been looking for a girlfriend?" ”

I was most afraid that she would talk to me about emotional matters, because in front of her, I was not good at lying, and I could not tell her the truth, so I didn't know how to answer her for a while, and I was silent for a while before I pretended to be relaxed and replied, "Because no one takes a fancy to me." ”

As soon as my voice fell, Dong Xiaodan asked rhetorically: "Then what if I fall in love with you?" ”

I didn't expect her to ask so straightforwardly, I couldn't help but panic, I looked up and looked in the rearview mirror, she was looking at me with a pair of hot eyes, I hurriedly looked away, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Hehe, don't be kidding, how can you take a fancy to me." ”

Dong Xiaodan said softly: "Why not, you should know that I have always had you in my heart." ”

Hearing this, my heart pounded, a heart that was already cold seemed to be dissolved in an instant, I really wanted to hold her in my arms immediately, tell her what I missed her in my heart, but reason told me, I couldn't do this, I wanted to say something to comfort her, but my throat seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't say anything.

Dong Xiaodan turned his head to look out the window, as if he was talking to me, as if he was talking to himself, and muttered: "I know I can't get an answer, in fact, I also want to forget you, and I have tried to dilute your memory in my heart, but do you know that sometimes longing is like a bottle of old wine, which will not gradually fade with the passage of time, but will become more and more intense, and later, it will become a habit." ”

Speaking of this, she raised her hand and wiped it on her face, although she was facing away from me, I knew that she must be crying, I felt my heart cramping, I wanted to wipe the tears from her face for her, but I could only pretend to be indifferent in front of her.

I was struggling with my heart, Dong Xiaodan suddenly turned her head, although her eyes were a little red, but with a smile on her face, she said, "Don't talk about this!" Anyway, we're going to be good friends, right? ”

I nodded hurriedly, "Of course!" Best friend in life! ”

Dong Xiaodan glanced at me: "Come on, it's still in this life, when you get married in the future, you will probably forget about me completely." ”

I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart: Marriage, for me, may be just a luxury in this life.

Bypassing the topic of feelings, the two of us soon became chattering again, but both of us seemed more cautious, for fear of touching the most sensitive part of each other's hearts.

Our group stopped and rested along the way, arrived in Chengdu the next day, there are two main routes from Chengdu to Lhasa, Tibet, respectively, the Sichuan-Tibet North Line and the Sichuan-Tibet South Line, the Sichuan-Tibet North Line takes the 317 National Highway throughout the whole process, from Chengdu to the north, in Yingxiu Town to the west, through the Wolong Nature Reserve, over the mist-shrouded Balang Mountain all the year round, through Xiaojin County, to Danba. After entering Ganzi, it enters Tibet through Daofu, Luhuo, Ganzi and Dege through the Gangga Jinsha River Bridge, and then passes through Jiangda, Qamdo, Liuqi, Baqing, Suoxian, and Nagqu to Lhasa.

The Sichuan-Tibet South Line takes the 318 National Highway in the whole way, from Chengdu to Ya'an, crosses the Erlang Mountain to the west, crosses the Dadu River, Yalong River, Jinsha River, Lancang River, and the upper reaches of the Nu River along the way, passes through the Yajiang River, Litang and Batang and crosses the Zhubalong Jinsha River Bridge into Tibet, and then passes through Mangkang, Zuogong, Bangda, Basu, Ranwu, Bomi, Nyingchi, Mozhugongka, and Dazi to Lhasa.

Compared with the northern route, most of the places passed by the southern route are relatively densely populated areas, and if there is any emergency on the road, it is easy to be solved, and most areas of the southern route are rich in vegetation, and there is less altitude sickness due to lack of oxygen. So generally speaking, most people will choose to enter Tibet from the southern route, but Nagqu County is located in northern Tibet, so it is more convenient to take the northern route, and if you go from the southern route, you have to walk hundreds of kilometers. Therefore, after some discussion, we decided to enter Tibet from the northern route.

However, due to the steep terrain and sparsely populated people on the northern route, in order to avoid any unexpected situations on the road, we purchased a batch of supplies in Chengdu, mainly mineral water, diesel fuel and food.

We rested in Chengdu for the night, and early the next morning, we set off from Chengdu and traveled along National Highway 317 to Tibet. As soon as the group passed through Yingxiu Town, Seabeard brought us a surprise.

It turned out that when Seabeard was in the army, there was a Tibetan comrade-in-arms named Basang, who happened to live in Suo County, where we were going to pass, and when he learned that we were going to Nagqu for an investigation, he said that he could accompany us throughout the whole process. Originally, we were still worried, because among the few of us, only Professor Dong and Haibeard knew some simple Tibetan, and most of the Tibetans in northern Tibet could not speak Mandarin, so we might have some trouble communicating with the locals after we arrived in Nagqu, but now with Basang's help, there is no problem in communication.
