Lhasa is 3,600 meters above sea level.

Usually it's okay to climb a few steps, but after climbing a few steps here, I'm tired and out of breath.

Di Tingshen was too tired to admit it, he asked his wife to walk slowly, saying that she was now pregnant and couldn't be strong!

Yi happily looked at his flushed face, laughing in his heart but not revealing it.

"Okay, let's rest."

The two sat on the steps and rested for a while before moving on.

After walking and resting, I finally came to the entrance where I could visit.

Originally, the Potala Palace was open as a whole, but later most of it was closed and no one was allowed to visit, and only 20% of the places could be visited.

But just this 20 percent is shocking enough!

Many of the Buddha statues inside are made of pure gold, and they are also inlaid with countless gems and various treasures, beeswax, and they are all priceless when you take them out, and there are so many priceless things here.

The vivid image of the tour guide's explanation is fascinating.

After introducing the Buddha statues and treasures, as well as the history of the Potala Palace, the guide began to explain the origin of the money.

The original Tibetans did not accept foreign culture, and only received the cultivation of monasteries from an early age.

Eat raw yak meat, drink barley wine, eat barley noodles, and wear clothes sewn from animal fur.

They are completely self-sufficient.

They firmly believe that they will be blessed in this life and the next life, and that all the sufferings and sins they have suffered in this life will be tested by the Buddha, and they must withstand the test, and they will be rich and prosperous in the next life.

They only keep a small part of the money they earn, and all the rest is sent to the temple to "accumulate blessings".

So the temples here were very rich, and later the People's Liberation Army liberated here, and people from outside came in, and at the same time brought ideas and all kinds of good things from outside.

It's not easy for the mind to quickly occupy a place, but the food can!

With the entry of outsiders, the local herdsmen found that the raw yak meat was not as delicious as the barbecue, nor was it as delicious as the hot pot, and the barley wine was preserved for a short time, while the wine brought by outsiders could not only be preserved for a long time, but also had a better taste.

Clothes sewn from animal skins are heavy, stuffy, and breathable, and are not as comfortable to wear as clothes made of fabric......

All of this needs money to buy, or they rely on the income of their labor to exchange it for outsiders.

If the herdsmen want to eat delicious food and wear comfortable and beautiful clothes, they have to spend money, and all the money cannot be sent to the temple, and gradually the influence of the temple is getting worse and worse.

Although it is poor, the religious atmosphere here is still much stronger than that in the mainland.

The tour guide spoke vividly and interestingly, and after the tour guide, Di Tingshen gave an extra 200 yuan tip on the price he had negotiated.

Coming down from the Potala Palace, the two walked and chatted, when a little boy blocked the way of the two people.

Yi Xinran took a closer look, yo he, it was the little boy who robbed her money in the morning.

"Still want money?"

She said angrily: "Isn't it enough that you took all my money in the morning?" To be a man, you must know how to be content, and you can't be too greedy. ”

Di Tingshen felt funny: "You tell him this, can he understand?" Catch him and take him to the police station and let the police educate him. ”

In fact, such a big child, even if he is sent to the police station, it is useless at all.

Di Tingshen just scared him, he was afraid that he would leave and forget it, he didn't want to be entangled with this child.

The child was really afraid, the clarity in his big eyes was gone, replaced by horror and fear, and his right hand was always in his pocket, clutching it tightly.

Di Tingshen frightened him and wanted to take him to the police station.

He took his hand out of his pocket, and in his dirty little hand was a wad of money, ten or five yuan, the ones that he had snatched from Yi Xinran's hand in the morning.

He handed the money to Yi Xinran with both hands: "Give it back to you, I've been waiting for you here for a long time." ”

Yi Xinran was slightly stunned and didn't answer.

I've seen those who robbed money, and I sent them back after robbing them for a turn, and it's the first time I've seen them.

Di Tingshen was also interested, and he asked, "Have you figured it out or regretted it, or have you gone back to your mother to say you?" ”

The little boy lowered his head and did not look at the two of them, kicked the concrete floor under his feet, and said reluctantly, "My mother asked me to come back and return the money to you." ”

Sure enough, it was the parent who spoke, and it seems that this parent is not a person who does not know the reason.

Yi Xinran took the money and was about to leave with her husband, when the little boy added: "It's not all the money, I left five yuan, and you agreed to give me five yuan." ”

Yi Xinran glanced back at him, smiled and nodded: "Yes, I agreed to give you five yuan, so you can keep five yuan." ”

The little boy bowed deeply and said in broken Mandarin, "When my brother is cured, I will return the five yuan to you." ”

He turned and ran.

"Come back."

Before Yi Xinran's words landed, the little boy had been dragged back by Di Ting's deep neck.

His face was full of vigilance, and his big eyes were very worried: "You don't count what you say, and you want to get the five yuan back?" ”

"It's not."

Yi Xinran explained: "Don't be afraid, we didn't ask you for your five yuan when we called you back, what's the matter with your brother's treatment?" ”

As she spoke, she took a candy out of her pocket and handed it to the little boy.

Sugar was originally prepared for my husband, eating sugar can alleviate high reaction, my husband ate a few, and now there is only one left.

"Thank you."

The little boy was even happier when he saw the candy than when he saw the five dollars, and sure enough, no child could resist the temptation of the candy.

He carefully took the candy, but did not eat it, but put it in his pocket.

Probably this piece of candy narrowed the distance between them, won the trust of the little boy, and he gave a reason for asking for money.

His family is far away in Ali, and he has three children, an older brother who is two years older than him, and a younger sister who can just walk.

The hometown could not cure my brother's illness, so my mother took them to Lhasa to see a doctor.

Before the illness was good, the money was spent, and he wanted to share some for his mother, so he came out to ask for money.

The little boy told a thrilling story in very simple language.

Yi Xinran asked, "Can you take us to see your brother and mother?" ”

"Yes."

The little boy agreed, and then led the way in front and took them around the path.

The child is not big, and his legs are not long, but he walks fast, and Yi Xinran, an adult, almost can't keep up.

The problem is that it's just that it's not a shame that she can't keep up, and Di Tingshen can't keep up either, which is embarrassing!

Di Tingshen is an adult in the end, his brain is very active, and he shouted to the little boy: "You walk slowly, my wife is pregnant and walks slowly." ”

Yi Xinran: ......

So in the end, she carried it all?

The trail is really difficult to walk, with potholes and narrow.

The little boy is very sensible, and when he heard that Yi Xinran was pregnant, he not only walked slowly, but also kept reminding him in front: "There is a pit here, you should pay attention." ”

"Don't step on the water here."
