Although Tashi's house is dilapidated, the scenery near the house is beautiful.

Every morning, Meng Xiuyuan went out to practice, and as soon as he opened the door, he was greeted by the blue and clear lake. The shore of the lake meanders, and on the wet sand and gravel, there are dots of white waterfowl soaring from time to time.

At the end of the vast lake, there are snow-capped mountains, towering, with snow-capped tops reaching into the sky and white clouds.

There are no other Tibetans living in the vicinity of Tashi's house, except for a lama temple on a hillside not far to the northwest, where the sound of drums and chanting comes out every day, especially the drums are so low and powerful that they can sometimes be heard in Tashi's house.

Meng Xiuyuan usually practiced for purity, and usually walked farther along the lake, so that the way happened to pass the hillside where the temple was located.

He would go out early and return late every day, and occasionally he would see an old lama in a red robe on the hillside, sitting on a pile of stones, holding a double-sided drum in his hand, beating a few times from time to time, and muttering some scriptures that Meng Xiuyuan did not understand.

Looking at his body from a distance, he can see that this old lama obviously has advanced martial arts hidden in his body. And every time Meng Xiuyuan walked by, the old lama's eyes would also be on him.

Therefore, Meng Xiuyuan specially asked Tashi about the old lama, but Tashi only said that it was a respected teacher, with a very respected status, and there were many disciples in high positions, and they would live in seclusion here when they were old and devoted themselves to cultivation, and begged Meng Xiuyuan not to disturb him.

When Meng Xiuyuan heard Tashi say this, it was naturally difficult to ask anything more, and seeing that the old lama did not look hostile, he simply ignored the matter.

After all, he only stayed here to treat Gesang, and there was no need to cause trouble for his Tashi family.

Although the husband and wife of Tashi and Yangjin live poorly, they are dedicated to Meng Xiuyuan, and always try their best to make Meng Xiuyuan more comfortable.

The period of staying at Tashi's house was the most comfortable time since Meng Xiuyuan set off for the west.

And Gesang and Dawa, the two siblings, are also very cute, and when getting along with them, Meng Xiuyuan feels comfortable and relaxed.

Earlier, when Meng Xiuyuan and Tashi's family were not familiar with each other, Gesang, the eldest daughter, was the one who had the least estrangement from Meng Xiuyuan.

Maybe it's because she was born mute, and she can't communicate with people in words, but in the face of Meng Xiuyuan, who didn't know Tibetan at the time, it was easier for each other to understand each other's meaning.

Many times, Meng Xiuyuan's unclear meaning with her parents was the first to be understood, and then relayed to Tashi and Yang Jin.

Of course, although it sounds a little shameless, another big reason why the two of them became familiar with each other first was actually because of Meng Xiuyuan's handsome and chic appearance.

Gesang, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, naturally has a little bit to judge people by her appearance.

Since the day after Meng Xiuyuan stayed at Tashi's house, after he had washed well in the lake and carefully taken care of his appearance, this Gesang looked at Meng Xiuyuan's gaze, and it was obviously not as fearful as when he first met.

Since he was born, he has never walked out of the radius of Gesang, and in addition to his family, he has not seen many strangers on weekdays. Most of them are just herdsmen and traveling merchants passing by, all of whom are men on the plateau who have been devastated by the wind and sun, and who have been sleeping in the open all year round, and can look good and see where they go.

This time, when I suddenly saw Meng Xiuyuan, a young man from the Central Plains with red lips and white teeth, he naturally felt a good impression unconsciously, and it was hard to imagine that he was a bad person.

In addition, Meng Xiuyuan treats people gently on weekdays, and the temperament on his body that is mixed with his previous life experience and Wudang cultivation is really much more soothing than the people on the plateau, so that Gesang quickly let down his guard against him.

During that time, having Gesang in the middle of the bridge really helped Meng Xiuyuan a lot, so that the remaining three people in the family gradually stopped being so afraid of him, and accelerated the process of integrating him into the life of the Tashi family.

It's just that later, as time went by, Meng Xiuyuan and Tashi's family gradually became familiar with each other, and they also learned Tibetan, and when the other three became more and more cordial to Meng Xiuyuan, Na Gesang became a little shy, but a little reluctant to contact Meng Xiuyuan.

Every time she saw Meng Xiuyuan coming back from outside, she would sneak a look at the door, and she would hurriedly hide in the corner of the inner room and hide in a place where Meng Xiuyuan was not easy to see.

Her parents asked her to bring the food to Meng Xiuyuan, but she always pretended not to hear it, turned around and went to the lake to wash clothes.

Only every night, when Meng Xiuyuan was moving the pulse for Gesang, the two had to sit cross-legged on the bed, and she had nowhere to hide anyway, so she had to twist her head to the side, too shy to look at Meng Xiuyuan's face.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't care too much about this, but when he was healing, in order to avoid this atmosphere being too embarrassing, he would chat with Gesang from time to time to relieve his boredom.

Of course, the so-called "chatting" must be what he is saying, Gesang is just listening, and the hands of the two are facing each other because of their luck, and Gesang is not good at comparing with him.

Meng Xiu is not a particularly good storyteller, and most of the time he says whatever comes to mind, so the content of the chat is very messy.

Sometimes it was his experience of learning martial arts when he was a child, sometimes it was an interesting story with his master and brother when he was on the mountain, and sometimes it was the experience of chivalry and righteousness along the way after he came down the mountain.

But whether it's interesting or not, Gesang often listens to it with relish. Even when it comes to the highlights, she even forgets to be shy, a pair of big eyes staring at Meng Xiuyuan, full of anxiety, she can't heal her throat immediately, and she opens her mouth to urge Meng Xiuyuan to hurry up.

It's just that all of this mentioned in Meng Xiuyuan's mouth is far away and magical for Gesang, and maybe she will never have the opportunity to contact it in her life.

In addition, what made Meng Xiuyuan find it interesting was that among these many stories, Gesang's favorite ones were those things that Meng Xiuyuan traveled to the righteous.

She is such a soft and weak little girl, but she still has a heart to punish rape and eliminate evil. Whenever he heard the excitement, his whole body involuntarily used his strength, and his little brows were furrowed tightly, as if he was also going to help fight those bad guys.

After a while, Xiao Gesangna's shyness when he saw Meng Xiuyuan was finally cured, and he didn't avoid him or dared to look up at him.

The only difference from before is that Xiao Gesang likes to listen to Meng Xiuyuan's stories, even if she is not healing, as long as she sees Meng Xiuyuan free, she will pester Meng Xiuyuan.

In return, Meng Xiuyuan started at some point, and whenever he returned to his room at night, he would see a small cluster of fresh wildflowers next to his pillow.

At first, Meng Xiuyuan didn't care about it, but just thought it was a little girl playing with it.

Later, when Yang Jin cleaned up the room for him, he told Meng Xiuyuan that this was the famous Gesang flower in the snow area, which happened to have the same name as Xiao Gesang.

Yang Jin, who is usually quiet and accustomed to hiding behind her husband Tashi, saw this flower this time and rarely chatted with Meng Xiuyuan a lot.

She said that the reason why this Gesang flower is famous is not because of how valuable it is. On the contrary, Gesang flowers are actually wildflowers, and they do not refer to just one type of flower, but have different varieties in different places in the snow area, but they are all called Gesang flowers.

And what is truly precious is the meaning behind it.

The word "Gesang" means "good times" and "happiness" in Tibetan. In the eyes of Tibetans, the Gesang flower is also a holy flower that symbolizes love and auspiciousness.

Yang Jin said that recently, I often see Xiao Gesang running out all day long, rain or shine, and I don't know what she is doing.

She guessed that Xiao Gesang might have taken this opportunity to tell Meng Xiuyuan that since he came to the house, it was her happiest and happiest day.

Meng Xiuyuan didn't say anything when he heard this, but his heart warmed for a long time.

……

After another two or three months of such warm and quiet days, Xiao Gesang's body became better and better, and he was already babbling a little bit in his throat.

Tashi and Yangjin were very excited when they heard their daughter's voice for the first time in their lives, and they couldn't help but kneel on the ground and kowtow to Meng Xiuyuan for a long time. Even the youngest son Dawa was very excited, chasing after Xiao Gesang and shouting "Sister, Sister", as if he wanted to compare who could speak better.

During this time, Meng Xiuyuan's own martial arts have also improved a lot. After he sorted out the previous perceptions, not only did he have a lot of understanding in fist and foot kung fu, but even the "Fitness Technique" was slightly improved by him.

In the last month, the meridians in Gesang's throat have reached the most critical moment before they are opened, and they need to use their true qi to burst through the last blockage again and again, so they can't exercise frequently, and they need time to cultivate more in the middle of each time.

And Meng Xiuyuan's "Fitness Technique" also felt that it had reached a delicate state, and he secretly felt that the accumulation was enough, and it was only one step away from being able to raise this "Fitness Technique" to a higher level, which required a long time of focused attempts.

Under the combination of the two, Meng Xiuyuan simply decided to live by the lake where he practiced on weekdays, work hard day and night, and come back every few days to help Xiao Gesang try to impact the meridians, and by the way, he also took a rest.

Until today, it has been five days since Meng Xiu last went back to Tashi's house to rest, and the cultivation of "Fitness Technique" has also happened to reach a bottleneck. So he thought about going back to help Xiao Gesang heal his injuries first, and next time he came back, maybe the "Fitness Technique" would be able to break through.

Unexpectedly, when I returned to Tashi's house this time, everything changed.

When he reached the door, he smelled the smell of blood in the house, and he couldn't help frowning, and hurried in.

When I entered the house, it was a mess, and the only thing in the house that could be considered furniture was smashed to pieces.

Yang Jin hugged little Dawa and cried, while Tashi was covered in blood from the whip, and the whole person was lying on the bed almost dying.

In the house, only little Gesang was missing.

Seeing this, Meng Xiu hurriedly asked what happened, but he didn't expect that none of the three people in the family were willing to answer him.

Yang Jin still buried his head in Xiao Dawa's arms, crying muffledly, and muttered "It's late, it's late" on his lips. Tashi, on the other hand, closed his eyes and trembled, clenched his teeth, and refused to speak anyway.

Meng Xiuyuan was furious when he saw this, and just wanted to scold them, when at this time, in the direction of the lama temple outside the house, there were suddenly bursts of drums.

The drum beat was as low and powerful as ever, but those who listened to it were chilled.

As soon as Yang Jin heard this drum beat, he cried even harder, and he couldn't help but raise his head and want to say something to Meng Xiuyuan, but Tashi, who suddenly got up from the bed, covered his mouth.

The two almost scuffled on the bed, which happened to allow little Dawa to break free.

Ignoring her parents' scuffling behind her back, the little Dawa stared at the direction from which the drums came from outside the door, and listened very attentively. After a long time, he suddenly pointed in the direction from which the drum came and shouted:

"Sister, sister!"

When Meng Xiuyuan heard this, a spiritual light flashed in his mind, and he only felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and every hair exploded in an instant:

"Sister...... Drum?!!! ”
