In the 18th century, Cangyang Gyatso, a troubadour, used his beautiful writing style to describe Litang as a place where the white crane yearns for and is obsessed with it. "O white crane, please lend me your wings. I will never fly far away."
I just went to Litang once and then flew back..." From then on, this gripping love song cut through the endless years, went out of seasons, and traveled through time and space.
Litang is one of the highest county towns in the world and can be called the "highest city in the world". The county seat is 4,200 meters above sea level, more than 300 meters higher than Lhasa, Tibet. This is known as the "city hanging in the sky" by the world.
It was an important town for the tea-horse trade, with merchants gathering, abundant resources, and outstanding people.
Although Chengdu is only about 700 kilometers away from Litang County, the two cars traveled for more than 10 hours. When they arrived at Litang County, it was already around eight o'clock the next morning. Since they had a few rests on the way,
This time, no one seemed very tired.
The three girls who had slept all night were even more energetic and chattering incessantly behind. Only then did Zhuang Rui realize that Qin Xuanbing, who was so cool in front of others, was quite normal in front of people of the same sex. However, Zhuang Rui immediately had an idea in his mind.
, Qin Xuanbing is not a lesbian, right? But the more she thinks about it, the more likely it is. She plans to find a time to tell Liu Chuan and ask him to be careful about Lei Lei's love affair. You must know that Qin Xuanbing's beauty can be killed by both men and women.
When the car enters Litang, the vast and magnificent Maoya Prairie stretches as far as the eye can see on both sides of the road. In early spring, the deep and shallow grasses are also glowing with green. The grass is undulating, and the small flowers scattered on the grassland are brightly colored.
The sunlight cast through gaps in the clouds constantly moves and changes between large-area combinations of color blocks, creating a bright and colorful picture on the grassland of Gaocheng.
"Sister Xuanxuan, Sister Leilei, they are so beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful scenery..."
This is Bai Mengyao's voice. Ever since Lei Lei raised the automatic isolation board in the morning, Bai Mengyao's mouth has not been idle for a moment. She is either seeing the yaks screaming excitedly on the grassland or looking at the yaks flying in the sky.
If Zhuang Rui hadn't been practicing on the highway from Hefei to Chengdu, he would have been so frightened by Bai Mengyao's sudden scream that he drove his car into a ditch.
The scenery above really made Zhuang Rui's eyes light up. There was such a beautiful and magical place between heaven and earth. Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel a little bored with the life in the big city. He was not the only one who felt this way.
Bai Meng'an in the Desert Prince car in front also felt relaxed and happy looking at it, wishing he could live here.
At this moment, Lei Lei and the others were holding a map introducing Litang tourist routes and discussing where to visit first, and Liu Chuan actually became a friend of women at this moment. I don’t know when he got there.
He went to the car behind, expressed his approval of the suggestions of the girls, and made suggestions from time to time.
Zhuang Rui couldn't help but feel sad for Song Jun, his employer. Why did he think of asking Liu Chuan to help him buy Tibetan mastiffs? Looking at Liu Chuan's behavior, it was obvious that he was here for tourism.
At this time, the two cars had driven into Litang County one after another. Litang is not so much a county, but a town, because the county is too small. The streets are horizontal and vertical, with the middle
There is a small square, a small garden in the middle of the street, and shops and restaurants are located one after another. Most of the people coming and going on the street are local Tibetans, but the streets are very wide and the whole city is very clean.
Looking out from the car, several people on the Hummer felt that it was very strange, because everyone here, regardless of gender, wore a large collar, wide waist, open right lapel, small right lapel, and large left lapel.
The rugged Kham man wears a robe, with long black hair, clear facial features, and big sunglasses. He is masculine and handsome. A sheathed Tibetan knife hangs on his right hip, and some even hang two or three Tibetan knives.
He looked very heroic and dashing.
Tibetan women wear large and beautiful ornaments on their heads, including egg-sized red corals or green turquoises. Some of them have their hair braided in dense braids, and then decorated with colorful beads. They are extremely beautiful.
And style.
The Tibetans on the street, both men and women, all had red faces.
Zhuang Rui knew that this was caused by altitude sickness. While driving, he was explaining to Qin Xuanbing and others that they didn't know what plateau red was. Fortunately, several people in the car usually paid attention to exercise. Now the people in the car
Although I felt a little tight in my chest, I didn't have any particularly uncomfortable reactions.
At this time, the Desert Prince in front stopped by the roadside. After Bai Meng'an jumped out of the car, he weakly waved his hand to signal Zhuang Rui to stop.
Zhuang Rui stopped the car and lowered the window, and suddenly a cold wind rushed into the warm car.
"Let's have something to eat and get out of here as soon as possible. There isn't even a decent hotel here."
Bai Meng'an's face also showed a look of tiredness at this time. He was obviously suffering from altitude sickness, and his breathing was much faster than usual. This young man from Hong Kong, who had never endured much hardship, still underestimated the difficulty of this journey.
.
"No, we are going to Litang Temple to watch the horse racing festival..."
When Zhuang Rui was about to answer, several women's voices came from behind him.
"Miss, the horse racing festival only started in June. Where can I watch it now?"
He smiled bitterly at Bai Meng'an and motioned for him to take care of his sister. Zhuang Rui simply opened the car door and got out of the car, stretched out, lit a cigarette, and started smoking beautifully. As for how Bai Meng'an was going to go
He ignored the efforts to persuade and educate the three ladies. After all, Liu Chuan, the victim, was not in a hurry, so why should he be in a hurry?
"Xiaozhuang, please put out your cigarette, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable after smoking."
Before Zhuang Rui took two puffs, Zhou Rui's voice came from the off-road vehicle. At this time, he also felt a tightness in his chest. He quickly put out the cigarette, took several long breaths in succession, and then slowly
After recovering, Zhuang Rui realized that life on the plateau was not as beautiful as he had imagined.
It is now past eight o'clock in the morning. The rising sun shines on my face, and I feel a little bit of heat. There are not many tourists on the street, but all the people coming and going are local Tibetans, walking leisurely on the street.
Some of them were sitting in groups of two or three on the street corner or on the steps chatting, squinting and enjoying the gift of the sun. When some people passed by Zhuang Rui, they all showed a kind white smile and said: "Tashi Dele"
", Zhuang Rui knew that this was your good intention, and everyone responded one by one: "Zhaxidele"
"Let's eat first, and then leave Litang after eating. I'm afraid we won't be able to bear it after staying here for a long time."
After Bai Meng'an negotiated with the girls inside through the car window, he came over and patted Zhuang Rui on the shoulder.
Zhou Rui led the way and found a relatively clean breakfast shop. Zhuang Rui and others first found two tables and sat down. Liu Chuan walked up to order something to eat, but within a minute they were all gray.
He came back in a hurry, and everyone saw him. He spent a long time communicating with the boss with gestures and guesses, and no one else could figure out what he wanted to eat.
When Zhou Rui, who had always been so secretive, saw this, he stood up and shouted something in Tibetan to the boss. The boss immediately beamed and brought over seven bowls of haggis soup.
There are all kinds of intestines, tripe, liver, and lungs inside, with chopped green onion and coriander floating on the milky white soup. It is not fishy or smelly, but has a rich flavor that makes people move their index fingers just by smelling it.
After a while, the boss brought another plate of steamed buns made of highland barley noodles. After Zhuang Rui took a bite, he found that the steamed buns were actually softer than white flour steamed buns and had a sweet taste.
Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan were hungry for a long time. After saying hello, they took steamed buns and haggis soup and ate deliciously. Although Zhou Rui was usually quiet, but when he ate, he couldn't compete with anyone.
In no time, half of the plate of steamed buns was finished by him in just three or five seconds, and the other half naturally went into the stomachs of Zhuang Rui and Liu Chuan. The ladies and Bai Meng'an who were eating in a civilized manner could only look at nothing.
The plate was in a daze.
"Haha, I'm used to it. The troops have to grab food."
Zhou Rui showed a rare hint of shyness among his peers, and asked the boss to serve two more plates of highland barley steamed buns and a plate of Tibetan pickles.
"Brother Zhou, please help me ask this boss if anyone sells Tibetan mastiffs in Litang County?"
After everyone had finished eating, Liu Chuan seemed to have remembered the purpose of his trip to Tibet. Unfortunately, he couldn't understand the language, so he had to ask Zhou Rui to ask on his behalf.
