Chapter 100 Meet the old man on the road
Fang Kexin looked at him curiously. Zhang Ping mysteriously approached his ear and said a word. Kexin immediately blushed and gently pounded him a few times, looking shy.
Tao Yuner was very curious and asked Kexin when no one was paying attention.
Ke Xin hesitated not to tell the truth. In the end, she was tickled by Tao Yuner and couldn't stand it. Then she blushed and said a word in her ear. When Tao Yuner heard this, she glanced at Zhang Ping white, and red clouds floated on her face.
However, after such a disturbance, Fang Kexin obediently summoned up her courage and took a sip. She felt that it tasted really good. With barley cakes, three mouthfuls and two mouthfuls actually surprised everyone, and a bowl was full. After that, he said it was delicious, and I didn't know whether it was true or not. Could it be that what Zhang Ping said just now was really so magical?
"Yanba, ghee, tea, beef and mutton are known as the four treasures of Tibetan cuisine, and are also the inseparable food of Tibetans. Come on, try this hand-grabbed mutton. It's definitely a lamb. It's very tender. After Lao Gu entered the Tibetan area, he also had more words and enthusiastically introduced the customs and food of the Tibetan area to everyone.
"Hello, hello, I see you again. We are really predestined!"
There was a voice behind Zhang Ping's back, and the words were round, but there was a smell that could not be said to be stiff. He turned his head and saw that it was the two foreigners who were smiling at him. That beautiful foreign woman, wearing a Tibetan robe at this time, is so strange.
"Fate, it's really predestined. Kexin, do you remember them? It's the one who pretends not to understand Chinese!" After Zhang Ping reacted, he hurriedly called the two to sit down.
Kexin is also surprised that this is really the same way. I didn't expect to meet again thousands of miles away, which should indeed be regarded as predestined.
After a few words, Zhang Ping realized that these two had a great deal. The half-bald old man is a history professor at an American university named Jerry. The woman is his daughter Blair, who is also his assistant. As a visiting professor, I have been staying at Nanjing University for nearly 5 years. No wonder I speak Chinese so well.
I heard that the purpose of their group is the Houzang area. Jerry patted his thigh and said happily, "Great. We are about to go to the Guge ruins and are on our way. How about we go together?"
This makes Zhang Ping quite embarrassed. They have a lot of secrets. Two more outsiders are really not suitable, but they can't think of a reason to say it. I had no choice but to tell everyone and vote by hand.
The final conclusion is: Jerry and the two of them, if you want to be together, just go together. Anyway, they have their own car, and it doesn't matter.
I was full of wine and food, and there was nothing interesting in the Gongtang. After returning to the hotel, I fell on the soft **. The bumps along the way made everyone feel particularly tired and quickly fell asleep.
As soon as it lit up in the morning, Lao Gu had already woke everyone up. If he didn't hurry up and couldn't get to his destination at night, he would probably sleep on the grassland. Finally, Lao Gu also took out two frozen lambs from the store owner and threw them in the trunk. Everyone knows that Lao Gu must have a deep meaning, and he doesn't gossip anymore. He got in the car and left.
After driving out of the Gongtang, a Grand Cherokee caught up with Jerry and his daughter. The three cars pulled a certain distance back and forth and roared to the depths of the grassland.
The sun rises from the sky, and the grassland is crystal clear, and the cold air invades the bones. Kexin and Mei Xiang were wrapped in a coat and did not dare to shake the window. They just quietly looked at the scenery of the surrounding grassland.
"The summer herding river and winter herding snow, and the four seasons of migration are non-stop." This poem has been a portrayal of the life of pastoral people in Tibetan areas for thousands of years. The sky is like a dome, covered with four fields. In recent years, in the unchanged scenery of the grassland, red tile settlement houses and new white tents have replaced black yak fur tents and become a new scenery.
When it was almost evening, I finally arrived at my destination, a place where herdsmen lived. Dozens of tents are staggered there, and many women are busy there. At this time, I saw three cars coming, and there was some noise around the tent, and then there was a dog barking: wow, it spread far away.
The car stopped in front of the tent. Lao Gu opened the door and shouted loudly: Qiangba. Hearing the shout, a man in a Tibetan robe rushed over. There is also a big black dog behind. The man looked older than the end of the world, his face was dark, and some wrinkles were faintly visible. However, those eyes are bright and clear, which makes people quite like it.
Seeing Lao Gu standing there, Qiangba ran over happily and hugged Lao Gu warmly.
After separating for a moment, he forced Lao Gu's hand and said, "Xiao Gu, you haven't been here for a long time. But this time you came just in time. I answered your question, and now I can give you an explanation.
When Lao Gu heard this, he patted Qiangba on the shoulder and said with a big smile, "Okay, brother, this really bothers you."
"Well, how hurtful it is to say this. I can tell you in advance. You will see something later, and you have to thank me a lot. Take care of it and you will smile later.
Lao Gu introduced everyone to Qiangba. For each person introduced, the big dog went up and sniffed. When he arrived at Ouyangqing, Ouyangqing saw that she was relatively big and her hair was beautiful, so he wanted to touch it.
Lao Gu and Qiang Ba shouted at the same time: "Don't" and "Shout." Ouyang looked at them in astonishment and was at a loss.
"Ouyang, this is a Tibetan mastiff. It's not easy for outsiders to touch it casually." Zhang Ping woke up and hurriedly explained to Ouyang.
Tibetan Mastiff? At this time, everyone's attention turned to the big dog. The hair of the big black mastiff is a little curly, but there is no color, as black as ink. How much bigger is the size of an ordinary wolf dog? Looking at the thick limbs, you know that the power of this black mastiff is absolutely not small. The long hair between the chest and abdomen covers most of the legs. The back covered with long hair presents an almost perfect curve, which surprised several women.
Lao Gu smiled and said, "This guy is called Hei Dian. He is very powerful. This is Qiangba's treasure. I have been following it for more than ten years. If it is missing, it will really be Qiangba's life.
At the invitation of Qiangba, several people walked into the tent.
This was the first time they walked into the herdsmen's tent, and they couldn't help looking at it curiously. When I walked into the tent, the first thing I saw was the Buddhist niche facing me. The interior of the tent is very simple. There is a red carpet on the floor, and there is a small table on the carpet. There is a knife with a sheath hanging on the surrounding wall, and there is a neatly folded quilt under the knife.
Qiangba has two sons and a daughter. Both sons are married, and now there is only one daughter around. Qiangba also has a wife, Zhuoma. Zhuoma is a very simple Tibetan woman, and she doesn't speak Mandarin very well. Seeing that they always had a kind smile, they were served in front of them with a bowl of hot ghee tea.
According to Lao Gu's instructions in advance, Tao Yuner and Ouyangqing hurriedly took out some small gifts and gave them to Qiangba. Qiangba was also very happy and sat with them, and some of the herdsmen who came when they heard the sound also rushed over. I couldn't sit in the tent, so I moved the tables and chairs outside.
At night, several bonfires were lit, illuminating everyone's eyes. The happy herdsmen danced happily around the bonfire, and there was a grill on the bonfire. A tender lamb was full of oil and roasted.
Zhang Ping's heart was also driven by the herdsmen, and they got up and learned to jump together. Looking at their clumsy dancing, several herdsmen smiled. The black electricity not far away was like a general, keeping a distance from the people next to the bonfire, proudly holding their heads high and patrolling their fields.
After the carnival, everyone got into the tent prepared by the enthusiastic herdsmen. The excitement had not yet passed, and they talked about what they were interested in.
Suddenly, Zhang Ping's ears stood up, pushed that he wanted to relieve his hand, and came out. Seeing Lao Gu and Qiangba sitting aside, smoking and not knowing what they were talking about, they burst into laughter from time to time.
Zhang Ping walked over and said to Lao Gu with a serious face, "Lao Gu, did you hear anything? It seems that there is any cry in the distance?"
Lao Gu was stunned, listened carefully, and shook his head to indicate that he didn't hear anything. At this time, a dull roar suddenly came out, and Qiangba's face changed: "It's the sound of black electricity. Did something happen?"
Lao Gu was about to talk to Zhang Ping when suddenly there was a long howling from a distance. This time, the voice was much louder than before. Lao Gu also heard it seriously, and the expression on his face immediately became a little nervous. "It's a wolf. Strangely, the wolves on the grassland are usually in groups. The wolves here generally don't dare to touch your hands and feet, do they?
Qiangba nodded and said, "With black electricity, we really don't have to worry about anything."
At this time, there were a few more howls from a distance. At this time, Fang Kexin and others also heard the wolf howl and walked out of the tent one after another.
As soon as the howling sounded, the black electricity and several other hybrid Tibetan mastiffs had already shouted loudly, as if they were against each other by the two armies, which was very lively.
Qiangba and several herdsmen stood in front of the Tibetan mastiffs and looked into the darkness in the distance.
Zhang Ping approached Lao Gu and said, "Lao Gu, please take more care of those girls later."
Sun Meixiang looked around, and the grassland under the moonlight was shrouded in a hazy beauty. The shadow was swaying around in the wind. She looked around and didn't see the shadow of the wolf. She couldn't help asking nervously, "Where is the wolf?" Why didn't I see the wolf?"
It seems to be a response to her question. Far from the left in front of them, there are two green and secluded flames, just like phosphorus fire. Zhang Ping knew that it was the wolf's eyes. Because there is still a distance away, Zhang Ping and others can't see the wolf's body hidden in the grass. But this pair of eyes has made him feel that his heart beat faster.
With the appearance of this wolf, several Tibetan mastiffs led by Black Electric roared more fiercely, and several Tibetan mastiffs even wanted to rush out. But when he saw that the black electricity did not move, he just stood not far in front of the tent and roared, so the other mastiffs did not move.
Qiangba's face was extremely nervous and said to himself, "I haven't seen many wolves recently. It turns out that these little wolves have gathered together. Such a large group is not easy to deal with."
At this moment, the black electricity stopped shouting and rushed out immediately. Several roaring Tibetan mastiffs suddenly rushed forward one by one, just like a soldier who heard the charge on the battlefield, without any stay or fear. They galloped on the grassland at their fastest speed, getting closer to the wolves that invaded the territory.
In front of the Tibetan mastiffs who rushed out, there were green and secluded eyes everywhere. Zhang Ping roughly counted that there were about twenty pairs, that is to say, there were twenty wolves. This is really a big deal.
Those Tibetan mastiffs, led by Black Power, have already fought with the wolves. Mastiffs are born to protect the property of herdsmen. They fight with wolves, leopards, and bears.
Whoever violates the safety and property of their owners, they will rush up without hesitation. Wolves are deeply hated by herdsmen, and mastiffs and wolves fight the most on the grassland.
The wolf and the mastiff are like a pair of natural enemies. Fighting with wolves is like the mission of the mastiff. This mission is deeply buried in their bones, flesh and blood.
