Ding Ze and Hu Bayi set off to the train station together, got on the train, entered the sleeper car, lay down on their beds, and waited for departure.
I waited for about ten minutes.
‘哐哧,哐哧~~’
As the train moved forward, the wheels and the rails began to rub against each other, making a continuous "clang" sound.
Accompanied by this sound, the two chatted for a while, then fell asleep and caught up on their sleep.
Time passes quickly.
It's noon in the blink of an eye.
The two woke up one after another, had some lunch, finished their work, sat face to face on their respective beds, and started chatting again.
Chatting and chatting.
Hu Bayi suddenly said in a casual tone, "Old Ding, I suddenly realized a problem recently, that is, we have known each other for so long, and I don't seem to know much about you... Where is your home?
Ding Ze heard this and understood what Hu Bayi wanted to do, so after thinking about it for a moment, he smiled and talked nonsense.
"A small place called Yucun in Banai, Guangxi."
Hu Bayi didn't expect Ding Ze to answer so directly, and was slightly surprised, "Guangxi Banai? Yucun? A mountain village next to Shiwanda Mountain?"
Ding Ze: "Well, it's a very remote mountain village. However, it is remote, and the natural scenery there is still very good."
There was a pause.
Ding Ze added: "Some people there are also very interesting."
Hu Bayi: "Is that so? If you have time in the future, you may want to invite us to come and take a look."
Ding Ze responded readily, "No problem... I haven't been back for many years. When I have time, I should go back and take a look... Otherwise, the house might collapse and I wouldn't even know it."
Hu Bayi: "Well, generally speaking, as long as someone takes care of the house, it won't collapse... Could it be, in your home?"
Ding Ze shook his head, "There is no one else in my family except me..."
Hu Bayi frowned slightly: "How could it be possible? You are only in your thirties, and your parents and relatives?"
Ding Ze replied calmly: "You rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you rely on water to eat water... People who live near Shiwanda Mountain naturally have to rely on Shiwandashan for food."
"My parents and relatives are all buried in a big tomb in the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
After hearing this, Hu Bayi was silent for a few seconds, "Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned this matter."
"It's okay, it's all over," Ding Ze smiled lightly and acted calmly, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Hu Bayi thought for a moment and said, "No more."
After the words left his mouth, before Ding Ze had time to say anything, Hu Bayi continued, changing the subject and saying, "Let's not talk about this, let's talk about something else... You have never been to Tibet, have you, then let me tell you about Tibet.
Some things over there.”
Ding Ze smiled and responded, "Okay."
"In central and southern Tibet, between the Himalayas and Nianqing Tanggula, there are many lakes dotted..."
"The Fairy Lake where Tiebang Lama Ake returned his vows is one of these lakes..."
Hu Bayi said without any ink marks.
------------------
Before I knew it, almost two days had passed.
finally.
The train traveled slowly across half of the country, stopped slowly, and arrived at the station.
Not long after.
Ding Ze and Hu Bayi got off the bus and left the station.
After leaving the station, the two of them walked non-stop. Not long after they arrived, they boarded another minibus. Then, they got off and transferred to another bus, then got off and transferred to another bus, and so on.
It wasn't until nightfall that the two arrived at Garse.
"We can't take a car from here. We have to spend money to hire a guide and a few horses, and then walk south to the diversion point of Bocang Zangbo," Hu Bayi said.
"Well," Ding Ze responded, "You are familiar with this place. You are responsible for taking care of this, and I will be responsible for looking at the scenery."
Hu Bayi smiled and didn't say much.
The two moved again.
After spending some time and effort, just like the original plot, Hu Bayi found a Tibetan named Wangdui who was both a guide and a horse owner.
After negotiating the employment agreement with Wangdui, Hu Bayi asked, "We plan to rest here tonight. Can you help arrange accommodation?"
Wangdui agreed simply: "Of course, if the two bosses don't mind, I still have a spare room at my house. You can go to my house for dinner and then stay."
Hu Bayi: “I don’t dislike it, I don’t dislike it, thank you.”
soon.
Ding Ze and Hu Bayi had a sumptuous dinner at Wangdui's house. Then, because they were very tired after staying on the train for nearly two days, Bian Ma slipped into the room and fell asleep.
When I woke up, the east was white.
After having breakfast, Ding Ze, Hu Bayi and Wangdui each rode a horse and started heading south.
Under the blue and pure sky, as if you could reach out and touch it, the three of them walked slowly and leisurely.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the three of them arrived at the diversion point of Bo Cang Zangbo and stopped not far from the Fairy Lake hanging in the sky.
Wangdui pulled the reins and said, "Two bosses, further ahead is the Holy Land. According to our customs, animals raised by humans are not allowed to enter the Holy Land."
"So, we have to leave the horses here and hike to the lake."
Wangdui said, taking the lead in dismounting.
Ding Ze and Hu Bayi followed suit and got off their horses.
Wangdui quickly found a place where he could tie the horses, and then he led the three horses over and tied them up.
"Two bosses, let's go that way," Wangdui tied up the horse and immediately returned to Ding Ze and Ding Ze, pointing to a high ground in front of them, and said.
The three of them walked to the top of the highland, and immediately, a beautiful picture appeared in front of their eyes.
In an instant, the three of them stopped in unison.
Only seen.
Everywhere you look.
In the sky, the sky was extremely blue, almost as if it was about to drip with water.
On the ground, surrounded by highlands, there are two large jasper-like lakes, like two treasures left in the world... The blue lake surface reflects the snow-capped peaks and white clouds, and the distant mountains around the lake are vaguely visible...
This kind of scenery is really too beautiful to be true.
The three of them watched quietly for a while.
Hu Bayi said, "It's so beautiful... If Miss Yang comes, she will definitely take a bunch of photos."
Ding Ze heard it and grinned, "This scene is indeed incredibly beautiful... If there wasn't someone beside me exuding the sour smell of love, I would have thought this scene was even more beautiful."
The words hit my ears.
Hu Bayi's cheeks turned slightly red, embarrassed, "￣□￣｜｜"
"Uh, Old Ding, it's better for you to be mute," Hu Bayi said awkwardly.
Ding Ze smiled and said nothing.
Hu Bayi didn't say much. He turned to Wangdui and asked, "Wangdui, who are these two lakes?"
Wangdui immediately answered, "The larger lake on the left is Yongma Table Zhacuo, the lake of Dragon Palace. The slightly smaller lake on the right is the Ram Lacuo that the two bosses are looking for, which is hanging in the sky.
The Fairy Lake.”
Hu Bayi: "Well, let's go there."
Wangdui: "Okay, two bosses, follow me. Be careful and don't slip down."
As he said this, Wangdui's eyes moved, he found a relatively gentle slope, and walked straight over.
Ding Ze and Hu Bayi followed together.
The three of them moved slowly towards the Fairy Lake.
