Chapter 0734 – Arriving in Zuogong
After hearing Gyatso’s words, except for the little lama Balsang, the rest of the people’s faces were not very good, this first day on the road encountered a storm, the trip behind did not know how difficult it would be!
Balsang suddenly said at the side: “the sky falling phenomenon, this is the sign before the reincarnation of the living Buddha, this trip will certainly be able to find the reincarnation of the spirit child.”
“We are not the Journey to the West to retrieve scriptures from the Western Paradise, we still have to go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties.”
Peng Fei looked like his injuries weren’t greatly hindered anymore, and after hearing Balsan’s words, he flirted.
“This vision almost cost the brothers their lives!”
Zhuang Rui also skimmed his lips and didn’t pick up on the little lama’s words, but instead looked at Suo Nan and said, “Big brother Suo Nan, this place is full of stagnant water, we need to find a place to camp!”
Don’t look at it now is the weather in July and August, the temperature at night is down to three or four degrees are possible, it is impossible to sleep in the car, and the summer herdsmen live more scattered, it is difficult to meet the herdsmen who are grazing.
“Gyatso, what do you think?”
Although Suo Nan was named the leader of this time, but in terms of familiarity with the Tibetan area, he still had to listen to Gyatso’s opinion.
“It’s impossible to cross out of the grassland at night, let’s find a high ground without stagnant water to camp!”
After this storm, it was already past five o’clock in the afternoon, and if we delayed any longer, it was about to get dark.
Two cross-country car tires are special, even in the muddy grass, but also just slowed down a little bit, in the Gyatso’s leadership, and in the endless prairie drove more than two hours, wait until the sky is dark, the car in a seven or eight meters above the ground on the small hills stopped.
Set up camp, Zhuang Rui and Balsam is not much help, Peng Fei body injuries, but also on the sidelines to watch, but the frail Suo man let a few people ate a surprise, that support the tent skilled action, like a frequent travelers old donkey general, very familiar.
A total of three tents were set up, two are back to back off-road vehicles, the other one is a three-person tent, Balsang and Suo Nan and Gyatso three live together, in a triangular shape, in the middle of a pile of campfire.
The temperature at night has begun to get cooler, probably only more than ten degrees, sitting by the campfire, barbecuing the lamb from the car down, Zhuang Rui can not help but think of the prairie night last year.
At that time, the Park’s siblings were far away in Hong Kong, Zhou Rui in Pengcheng is also busy, as for Lei Lei and Qin Xuanbing, it is cheap to self and Liu Chuan.
Zhuang Rui once asked Qin Xuanbing, is when he had a good feeling about himself, Qin Xuanbing replied that it was on that prairie night, people’s encounters are really wonderful, a night, so that the two at that time it seems, and do not match the people, came together.
“Come on, Xiao Zhuang, have a sip of wine to warm up! It’ll be a bit cold at night.”
A whole sheep was roasted all over the body golden, emitting a tantalizing aroma, Gyatso took a small Tibetan knife, very skillfully peeled off a slice of meat, wrapped in oiled paper and placed it in front of everyone, while Suo Nan was taking out a bottle of barley wine, handing it to Zhuang Rui.
“Big brother Suo Nan, the wine will not be drunk, right? It’s likely that there will be prairie wolves attacking at night!”
Thinking about last year’s situation of being surrounded by wolves, Zhuang Rui was still a little shaky, if not for Zhou Rui’s well-prepared, sufficient ammunition, maybe his own group of people are wrapped up in the belly of the wolves.
“Oh, all right, summer grassland food is sufficient, there will be no wolves exist, one or two lone wolves, if there is you this Tibetan mastiff, there is absolutely no need to be afraid of.”
Gyatso smiled at his words, in the prairie, the most frightening thing is not the wolves, but the bad weather, but the summer is relatively good, if the winter, sometimes the snow closes the road, it is normal to be trapped in a place for ten days and half a month.
“Alright then, let’s have a drink, wait, I’ll go get a bottle of wine.”
After Zhuang Rui heard Gyatso’s words, he stood up, walked to the car and took two bottles of Maotai out, which was taken from the villa’s wine cabinet.
“Good wine ah! Come on, change Maotai, Maotai with vigor.”
Suo Nan saw the wine Zhuang Rui took, his eyes couldn’t help but light up, although he is also a government employee, but belongs to the kind of clear water yamen unit, usually is rarely have the opportunity to drink Maotai.
Peng Fei has a wound, the little lama does not drink, two bottles of Maotai was quickly Zhuang Rui three people to drink, a whole sheep was also eaten by several people clean, after adding some dry wood to the fire, each person back to their own tents to rest.
In the tent there is a sleeping bag, lying in the zipper, leaving only the eyes and nose outside, it is very warm, driving a day, coupled with the attack of the storm, the people are very tired, in a short while from the various tents came out of the snoring sound.
The white lion, on the other hand, climbed outside Zhuang Rui’s tent, although his eyes were tightly closed, but not the shrugging ears showed that the white lion had been performing the task of guarding.
The night of the prairie is very quiet, only the breeze blowing through the grass, the sound of rustling, and did not appear Zhuang Rui imagined the wolves attacked, has been sleeping until the next morning, Zhuang Rui was woken up by the white lion’s low roar, looked at the watch, just six o’clock in the morning.
“Gotta, no need to prepare breakfast for you.”
Zhuang Rui walked out of the tent and found that the white lion was tearing into a fat hare, probably because of the harsh climate! This rabbit weighed five or six pounds, it was bigger than most of the hares in the mainland, covered in fine gray fur, and its throat had been bitten off by the white lion.
“Xiao Zhuang, this Tibetan Mastiff of yours, is the best one I’ve seen since I grew up.”
Gyatso who was brushing his teeth, after seeing Zhuang Rui come out, his face was full of envy and he threw up his thumb at Zhuang Rui, he almost ran through the whole Tibetan area, but he had never seen a Tibetan Mastiff that was as divine as the white lion.
“Brother Gyatso, my white lion, but the guardian god of the snowy mountains ah!”
Zhuang Rui smiled proudly at his words, the white lion seemed to have heard their conversation, and after turning his head and roaring lowly for a few moments, he began to concentrate on dealing with the hare again.
“Come on, eat something, we have to rush to Zuogong County today.”
After scrubbing, Suo Nan took some air-dried meat and tsampa to, tsampa is actually fried dry barley flour, inside also added a little sugar, you can use boiled water to brew and eat, you can also use barley wine or ghee tea and mix, pinch into a small ball to eat.
“Brother Suo Nan, I’m afraid I can’t make it today, right?”
Zhuang Rui had traveled this road, at that time it seemed to have traveled for three or four days, although the straight line distance of this section of the road is not too far, but the mountain road is difficult to travel, if you make a long-distance bus, you have to walk for five or six days.
On the side of the Gyatso looked at the sky, confidently said, “Almost, today there should be no rain, run faster, can rush to Zuogong to stay.”
After several people ate breakfast, hands and feet neatly put away the tents and sleeping bags, and doused yesterday’s campfire with water.
Just Peng Fei said nothing is willing to sit on another car, finally Balsang got on Gyatso’s buggy, Zhuang Rui car is sitting on the white lion and Peng Fei.
Gyatso with the route, extremely difficult to walk, and sometimes even from the two mountains in the middle of the canyon through the past, but the scenery along the way is excellent, and occasionally see the yellow sheep in the mountains, the front of the car in front of the Suo man, but also take out the camera and keep shooting.
In addition to lunch with half an hour’s time, from 6:00 in the morning, until 10:00 in the evening, a few people are finally rushed to Zuogong County.
Zuogong County is located in the southeastern part of the Tibet Autonomous Region, the southeastern part of the Chamdo region, north of Chaya, east of Mangkang, south of Yunnan Deqin, west of Chashu, Baju connected to the Sichuan-Tibet-Tibet-Yunnan junction.
Zuogong County, the main mountain ranges in the territory of Dongda Mountain, Dora Mountain, Chawazhu Mountain, Chawaduoji Zhiga Mountain, as well as the border with Yunnan Meili Snow Mountain, the highest peak of the Tsehra Peak, elevation of 5,434 meters, the county’s average elevation of 3,750 meters.
Meili snow mountain is the county’s main pilgrimage, tourist attractions, is a natural scenic area, is the local people as a “sacred mountain” every year to come to the pilgrimage endless. According to Balsang small lama, the white lion is the guardian god of the meili snow mountain.
Zuogong’s altitude is slightly lower than Mangkang, at least Zhuang Rui here, not last time in Mangkang feeling, even if smoking a cigarette a little activity, will not feel obvious discomfort.
Should have long been contacted residence, after arriving in Zuogong, Gyatso directly drive the car into a government guest house, Zhuang Rui found that, at the time of registration, is to use Suo male holding a letter of introduction, the name is accompanied by the Hong Kong charitable organization personnel, came to visit the investigation.
Because Peng Fei body has injuries, this way fourteen or fifteen hours, are Zhuang Rui one person drive the car, to the guest house, Zhuang Rui also did not go to eat dinner, directly to the room to sleep.
To Zhuang Rui’s physique, the body is not much feeling, mainly because the spirit is too tense, after a night’s rest, the next day is again in good spirits, look at the Suo Nan and Gyatso are a little strange, this young man’s physical quality is good unlike words.
“Brother Suo Nan, how should we search?”
After having something to eat at the guest house, then several people came together to Suo Nan’s room.
How to seek a reincarnated spirit child, Zhuang Rui and Peng Fei and the little lama, all of them did not have a bit of experience, only Suo Nan had participated in seeking the eleventh Panchen more than ten years ago.
“It’s like this, Xiao Zhuang, your current identity, is a representative of a Hong Kong charity organization specializing in rescuing infants and children with congenital heart disease, to do a study tour of infant and child disease prevention in the remote mountainous areas of Zuogong and Mangkang. This is the registration form, for the infants and children born in these few months, we have to make a registration, and then in one by one search.”
Suo Nan’s words, listening to Zhuang Rui dumbfounded, dare to say that this did not go through their own consent, to arrange a good identity, actually even the registration form are ready, it seems that their own this impostor charity personnel is when the certainty.
“Okay! Whatever you guys say, I’ll just do it.”
Zhuang Rui nodded helplessly, but he was not expecting that he had really donated a lot of money and goods behind him.
