Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Songtsan Gampo was waiting for the shopping guide to come back. During this time, the clothes had been packed for him and put into his basket.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. This is the pack of Little White Rabbit toffee you asked for. There is an impromptu event today. Buy a box of soap and get a towel." As she said this, the shopping guide put the towel, toffee, The soaps were put into the basket in Songtsan Gampo's hand.

Under the promotion of the shopping guide, Songtsan Gambo bought a toothpaste, toothbrush, cup set, and a promotional combination of washbasin towels.

After paying the bill, Songtsan Gambo stood at the entrance of the supermarket carrying a lot of things, feeling a little melancholy as he touched his wallet, which was half short of money.

"It's really hard to make money, and shit is hard to eat." Then he shook his head and went to the public bathhouse. He had already asked where it was in advance.

There are not many people in the public bathhouse, because there is a boiler room in the tube building that supplies hot water 24 hours a day. The first thing most workers do when they get home is take a shower, and after taking a shower, they basically rest.

Songtsen Gampo walked into the bathhouse and received the hand card and key. After putting the belongings and clothes in the cabinet, he walked into the bathhouse naked and holding a piece of soap. Songtsen Gampo looked at the hot pool and felt very comfortable, so he stepped into the pool.

"Hey, hey, where did you come from with such lack of quality? Why do you want to soak before you wash?" an old man lectured in Tubo dialect.

Songtsan Gampo was also afraid of making a fool of himself, so he quickly bowed his head and apologized: "I'm sorry, I just came to Songzhou City today. It's because I'm not sensible, so I asked the old man to teach me how to take a bath."

Seeing that he had a good attitude and was very polite, the old man pointed to the low stool and mirror on the side. "First go over there and take a shower to clean yourself inside and out. Then come and soak in the pool. When you feel comfortable, go find the back rub master to rub your back."

After listening to the old man's words, Songtsan Gampo also nodded to express his thanks, and then walked to the shower area. Songtsen Gampo sat on a low stool and touched the things in front of him here and there.

The old man said contemptuously: "What a country bumpkin. As soon as you turn the handle, water comes out, and the other handle adjusts the temperature."

Another old man next to him said dissatisfied: "How could you be better than him the first time you came here? Didn't I teach you?"

Songtsen Gampo was a little speechless when he heard them making fun of themselves. He tried to turn the handle, and water flowed from the nozzle above his head directly on his head.

The water was so cold and urgent that Songtsan Gampo was not prepared and was shocked.

"Hahahahahaha, look, do you look like a bird like you back then? Hahahahaha." Hearty laughter came from the bathhouse.

Songtsen Gampo adjusted the temperature and water volume. Finally, warm water came out this time, and the water temperature was just right! Start washing! After rinsing himself completely, he turned off the water, picked up the soap and rubbed it on himself. He had asked the shopping guide how to use the soap in advance, but he was still a little panicked when he saw the foam all over his body.

The old man who had mocked him came out of the pool and walked behind him. He picked up the soap and applied it carefully on his back. He then picked up his own brush and brushed his back.

"If you can't get it behind your back, let's bring your friends together to help each other. If it doesn't work, I can ask the old man. The brush is very easy to use. Work hard and buy one for yourself to enjoy. In the future, I will not be like you today. Bathers, please be patient and don’t be like me.” The old man murmured behind Songtsen Gampo.

Songtsen Gampo nodded blankly. He had never known that the people in Tibet were so lovely and simple. Who deprived them of their loveliness, who deprived them of their dignity, was it yourself? Most likely yes. At this time, Songtsan Gampo's face felt a little hot, and the kindness of these people towards him was like knives stabbing him.

"Okay, rinse yourself off and go take a bath. Taking a bath is so comfortable." The old man patted Songtsen Gampo on the back and signaled him to leave.

After Songtsen Gampo cleaned up the foam on his body, he felt like a brand new person. Just when he was hesitating whether to take a bath, he remembered what the old man said, is taking a bath really so comfortable?

"Ah! You are right, old man. Taking a bath is so relaxing. It's great to come here and relax after a long day of work." Songtsen Gampo said with emotion.

"You don't have children at first glance. How can young people with children waste their time taking a bath? They should have gone home to take care of their children. Only an old man like me who has no family has time to take a bath. "

"Old man, what are you doing in Songzhou City?" Songtsen Gampo asked curiously.

"I get a pension of ten cents a day. When I came here, I brought five sheep, both ewes and breeding sheep, and turned them in. I don't have to pay taxes. The nursing home takes care of the food and housing, so it doesn't cost much." He said cheerfully.

"I take care of food and housing for twenty cents a day, but you get ten cents a day for doing nothing? Are you still taking care of food and housing?" Songtsen Gampo couldn't believe it.

"What's the point? This old man is really comfortable. My son has learned Chinese so much that he is going to a elementary school to become a bilingual teacher. He makes fifty cents a day! My grandson is promising in his studies and will receive a reward of five cents every day. . His son gives him more money every day than you do for working. Young people should work harder and find some part-time jobs.” The old man advised Songtsen Gampo to work harder when he was young.

"Anyone who wants to rub their backs? After rubbing their backs, take a bath. I'm about to get off work here, so hurry up!" The bath master vigorously patted the bath with his hand wrapped in a towel, attracting every customer who had not yet rubbed their backs.

"Go quickly, Huzi is the best back rub master here, just like the one on the night shift." The old man quickly urged Songtsen Gampo.

Songtsen Gampo was lying on the bathing bed with his whole body stretched out in front of his beard. He was a little embarrassed.

"Hey young man, you are so blushing. The number of people I have rubbed my beard with is more than 3000 if not [-]." The beard tried to ease Songtsen Gampo's shyness and chatted with him.

His chatting with Songtsan Gampo made Songtsan Gampo even more embarrassed, and Songtsan Gampo could only respond perfunctorily.

As the beard began to rub his back, a strong force followed the rough towel and acted directly on Songtsen Ganbu's back. "Hiss!" Songtsen Gampo gasped in pain.

Beard rubbed the back quickly and patted Songtsen Gampo's butt: "Boy, turn over."

This time Songtsan Gampo turned over, he was even more embarrassed. When his beard was rubbed on key parts, he even helped him a little. Songtsan Gampo's face turned red. Enduring the pain caused by the rough towel and the shame of being watched, Songtsen Gampo finally ended his bathing journey.

Looking at myself reflected in the mirror in the shower area, my whole body was rubbed like a cooked prawn. Although it hurt when I rubbed it, I felt an indescribable sense of relief now. Songtsen Gampo slowly returned to the pool.

"I said your beard skills are good. Do you feel that the hair on your body is clean? If it's still not clean, then you have to rub the skin off." The two old men stared at him with a smile.

Songtsan wet the towel and covered his face with his head tilted back against the edge of the pool to relieve his embarrassment.
