Return to 2001 to pursue dreams

Tibet is still very cold in the early morning, but the temperature has begun to rise, and we can experience the changes of the four seasons in one day.

After everyone woke up, they started to pack their equipment. The fat chef prepared butter tea, brown sugar and steamed buns for everyone. This was many times happier than those fellow travellers, who were eating dry bread on the roadside. From time to time, out-of-towners passing by by car came to ask for hot water, and the fat chef did not hesitate at all. According to him, in this wilderness, this cup of hot water can warm not only the body, but also the heart.

Gao Hongda and Yan Gaoliang looked at each other and laughed immediately. Two touches of plateau red appeared on their cheeks, just like the blush applied by children, and like the little people in the paper shop.

Sun Dazhuang's condition was not good. After getting out of the car, he fell to the ground. He was so weak that he could barely sit up after resting for a while. The team members explained that after using the oxygen concentrator all night, the oxygen was insufficient and the body could not adapt. Therefore, the children in this comfort zone could not stand the wind and frost.

Cangyunfeng packed up the map and told everyone: "Except for two potential landslides, the next five hundred kilometers of national highway are not difficult. We must complete this section of the road today!"

The national highway at this time is not only narrow, but also has some potholes from time to time. The speed of the vehicle cannot be increased at all. Except for the occasional wild animals on both sides of the road, there are no traces of human habitation at all. Gao Hongda made it for the first time yesterday When embarking on such a journey, facing such a vast sky and vast fields, not only do I not feel comfortable, but I feel very empty, lonely, and even a little scared. Coupled with the harm Xia Sisi had caused him before, his heart was filled with sadness, and he even had some thoughts of committing suicide.

Even though Sun Dazhuang was covered in tendons, he had been almost inseparable from oxygen tanks in the past two days. Seeing that the reserve of oxygen tanks in the car was getting less and less, Gao Hongda took angrily and grabbed a tank he was holding. He frowned and said, "Why are you acting like a girl? No, you are worse than a girl! You can't live without oxygen, right?"

Sun Dazhuang panted heavily, looking very weak and begging hard: "Junior brother, I am dying! Give me the oxygen! I don't want to stay here and be wolf dung!"

Gao Hongda threw the oxygen tank into the car, glared and said: "You can't die! You are the clone of the underworld judge! If you don't overcome it, you may just hang up!"

The female team leader Xiyue added: "My little brother is right. Although our trip is not risky, it is a long way and our oxygen cannot support us to the destination. There are still many unpredictable risks on the plateau. of."

Yan Gaoliang has become very familiar with Cangyunfeng through this day and night of contact. Perhaps because they both have experience of serving in the military camp, they have more topics to talk about.

After eating and drinking, everything was packed and the team set off again. This time Gao Hongda and Yan Gaoliang sat in Cangyunfeng's car and led the way. As the sun rises, Gao Hongda can no longer wear his velvet jacket. Now he finally understands why Tibetans wear cotton robes all year round. When it's hot, they take them off and tie them around their waists. When it's cold, they wear cotton robes. Put it on quickly.

As Cang Yunfeng expected, the next 500 kilometers of national highway were very smooth. Cang Yunfeng picked up the walkie-talkie and said to the convoy behind: "While the traffic conditions are good now, we will temporarily give up camping at noon, and then hold on for a while and enter Provincial Highway 208." Then we’ll find a place to park and have something to eat.”

"Received" replies came one after another from the cars behind.

Cangyunfeng and Yan Gaoliang were chatting and laughing in the front row. Gao Hongda was in a depressed mood, staring blankly at the wilderness outside the window, with no interest in chatting. The scenes of his passionate love with Xia Sisi flashed before his eyes like a movie, and All this ended without warning. A few days ago, he still had love and was very motivated in his career. But now, after experiencing betrayal, he also lost his fighting spirit. No matter how bright the sun in Tibetan areas is, my heart is still extremely cold.

The convoy climbed a steep slope and stopped to relieve itself in a parking area. One team member pointed to a lake in the distance and said, "This is the holy lake in the minds of Tibetans, Namtso."

Gao Hongda looked around. Under a white cloud in the distance, there was a blue lake, like a tear embedded in the snowy plateau. The presence of this lake gave the wilderness a little more aura of agility. On the other side of the lake is a towering mountain. The upper part of the mountain is covered with snow. Due to the high altitude, the snow in that place does not melt all year round.

He was not in any mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery, but the feeling of standing on a high place and looking into the distance was really good, and it made people feel a little refreshed.

After more than two days of adapting, the feeling of chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness and dizziness is no longer great.

Cang Yunfeng pointed to a fork in the road at the foot of the mountain and said: "Just past that intersection is Provincial Highway 208. The road condition is much worse than the national highway. There are gas stations and small hotels at the intersection. Let's replenish fuel and repair it there."

Worried about Master Xu's danger, Gao Hongda asked puzzledly: "It's still early, why do you have to rest again?"

Cang Yunfeng did not turn to look at him and explained: "Provincial roads and rural roads are very difficult to walk. Starting from tomorrow, we may not even have a place to camp, let alone a gas station and a hotel. We still need to find out about this." Poacher activity in the neighborhood.”

"Poachers?" Gao Hongda asked again doubtfully, "Do they have anything to do with our itinerary?"

Cang Yunfeng continued to explain: "The group of poachers that appeared recently not only poached Tibetan antelopes, but what is even more hateful is that they will choose to attack pedestrians and vehicles passing by. They use automatic rifles to kill without blinking an eye. The best The situation is to loot people, which is no different from killing people. In this place, without enough equipment, the average person cannot survive even one night."

Sun Dazhuang couldn't help but sigh: "These Tibetans are too tough!"

When something happened to the fat man, the fat cook shuddered, pulled up his pants and explained: "They are really not Tibetans. They respect nature and will not do poaching. These are all things done by Han desperadoes. The Emperor Tiangao of this place It is very difficult for the public security organs to catch these people because they are far away. If they are operating in this area, we are unarmed and can only choose to avoid them."

Sun Dazhuang said: "Our master still doesn't know what is going on. If there are really poachers, wouldn't this trip be in vain?" He turned to Yan Gaoliang and asked, "Your surname is Yan, aren't you from the Marine Corps? ?You must not be afraid of them, right?"

Yan Gaoliang retorted: "Sun, aren't you a great dancer? You summoned two gods to destroy them."

Sun Dazhuang snorted helplessly and said seriously: "Do you think I don't have this ability? This is a Tibetan area, the territory of lamas! Our Taoist gods don't have an ultimatum to leave the country, so we can't invite them!"

Yan Gaoliang also imitated his tone and said: "I am a navy! There is no sea and no warships here. I can't fight this kind of battle!"
