Baima Weiyang

"Ah?" I was taken aback for a moment, wondering if I was hallucinating.But after thinking about it, he reacted.I smiled and leaned forward, my arms around him tightened, and I raised my voice slightly, "If I didn't know you well enough, I would have thought you were teasing me."

"Really?" Ngawang Rinchen didn't turn his head, but just let out a chuckle.

There was another whip sound next to his ear, and the horse under him immediately accelerated, and the sound of horseshoes sounded like a sudden shower.Slowly, there was a feeling of tinnitus. After walking like this for a while, my buttocks were already hurt by the saddle, but the "driver" in front of me didn't cry tired, and I couldn't say that I was a hitchhiker. what.

As if aware of my strangeness, Ngawang Rinchen gradually slowed down.As soon as the sound of the horse's hooves weakened, the panting sound of "wheezing and wheezing" became thicker.After accelerating for so long, the horse must be exhausted.

I looked at the sky, and the sunset had completely disappeared into the horizon.The dark clouds floated low, and some of them were glowing red, as if they could be grasped by reaching out.Only the long strip of cloud closest to the sky is still illuminated brightly at the edge, like cotton wool dyed with broken gold.

Although the dry season is about to enter, there are still many river valleys with abundant water resources still lush with water and grass.After walking for a while, I finally found a piece of grass.I haven't seen any houses along the road. It seems that I'm going to go camping tonight.Having grown up so big, I have never had such an experience before, so I can't help being a little excited.

The horse under him couldn't move as soon as he smelled the fragrance of grass, and he lowered his head and began to gnaw carefully.Ngawang Rinchen simply pulled me off the horse.I have seen the night wind on the plateau before, but it only stays in the experience, no matter how long it blows, I can't get used to it.After a while, I shrink back and forth.

While Ngawang Rinchen was picking up waste wood, I shrank and hid under the horse's belly.Although there is a smell of horse show, but right now I can't care so much.At first, the horse was too busy grazing to notice me.But then I accidentally grabbed the horse hair, the horse seemed to be frightened, flicked its tail, and was about to greet me with its hind hoof, when Ngawang Rinchen pulled me out.

Seeing me shrinking back and looking embarrassed, he couldn't help laughing helplessly, "It's a stallion."

I was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help but understand, no wonder it was so awkward just now.But even a mare wouldn't be kind to me.I was really confused. If Ngawang Rinchen didn't come in time, I would have been kicked into internal injuries by now.

I sat down on a clean place sheltered from the wind, and I watched Ngawang Rinchen pile up the waste firewood in his hands, and took out flints and scythes to make fire.With the flames together, the surroundings suddenly became warmer.I stretched out my hands to keep warm, and listening to the occasional "zizz" sound from the fire, I felt more at ease inexplicably.

I turned my head to look at Ngawang Rinchen who was adding firewood, and the reflection of the fire light danced on his delicate face, and I couldn't help asking, "How is Tsangyang Gyatso?"

Ngawang Rinchen paused, but he didn't turn his head to look at me, "As soon as Master heard that you were missing, he immediately prepared to rush back to Drepung Monastery. But Master □□ also has my father's eyeliner by his side. The news left the White House in a hurry. I guess he went to obstruct it. As for where the master is now, I don’t know too much.”

As he spoke, Ngawang Rinchen turned his head suddenly, "Dolma, I feel very sorry for my father."

Seeing his apologetic expression, I couldn't help but reach out and pat him on the shoulder to express my relief, "Don't blame yourself. You are you, and Diba is Diba. Although he doesn't like me, he doesn't want mine either." Fate. And, if it wasn't for you, I would have been sent to a ghostly place that no one knows about."

Seeing that he smiled a bit reluctantly, I couldn't help changing the subject, "By the way, you haven't told me how you found this place yet."

Ngawang Rinchen picked the fire with a tree branch, and replied, "Actually, the last time I went back to the White House, I just wanted to know my father's actions at all times. I know him too well, and he will even use any means to achieve his goal." Said At this point, Ngawang Rinchen's gaze suddenly became farther away.I really wanted to comfort him, but I didn't know what to say.

"When he learned that the master went to Tashilhunpo Monastery to study scriptures, he wanted to take the opportunity to send you away. But I have been under the same roof with him all day long. Although I have deliberately concealed it, I still learned about it. I Although he wanted to obstruct it, it was just a delay. In the end, he still made a move. Moreover, in order to deceive people, he ordered the soldiers to divide up several carriages and run in different directions. Originally, it was impossible with my own strength. Chasing so many carriages whose destinations are unknown. It’s just that my father overlooked one point..."

Speaking of this, Ngawang Rinchen couldn't help but smile bitterly, "He wanted me to take over his position wholeheartedly, so he let me participate in political affairs since he was a child. Therefore, most of his subordinates are also loyal to me. However, even if they find out about these carriages Whereabouts, it is really still a needle in a haystack.”

He turned his head and turned his eyes back to me, "I chased eight cars before, but you were not in the carriage. I almost wanted to give up, but I was unwilling. I chased another car without hope, but I didn't expect I heard your voice when I caught up."

"Ngawang Rinchen..." Full of emotion filled my heart, my eyes couldn't help but heat up, "I don't know how to thank you." Ngawang Rinchen smiled lightly, "Thank you, I just made up for Dad It’s my fault, I’m still sorry for you after all.”

I was just about to say something, but there was a "grunt" in my stomach.It happened to be a gap when there was no wind, and the sound was extraordinarily clear.I froze for a moment, and the heat in my eyes spread to my whole face.

"You are hungry?"

Facing Ngawang Rinchen's question, I shook my head in a very vague way, "It seems to be."

"Chi..." After hearing my ambiguous answer, Ngawang Rinchen couldn't help laughing, and pulled off Tang Gu from his waist and handed it to me.Tanggu is a leather bag specially used to hold tsampa.I poured some buttered tea into Tangguli, grabbed the mouth of the bag with one hand, and squeezed the bag with the other.

After a while, the aroma of tsampa came out.Opening Tanggu, I took a bite of tsampa and chewed it slowly in my mouth.Tibetans generally don't use chopsticks or spoons to eat, they only use their hands to grab food.Although I'm still not used to it yet, it's pretty good to be able to eat enough in the wilderness.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but opened my pocket and looked inside, and found that although the tsampa was not small, it was not enough for two people.Looking up at Ngawang Rinchen who was still tending the fire, he couldn't help feeling troubled.With his gentlemanly temperament, he would rather starve himself than feed me.But I can't let him go hungry.Besides, we ate several meals together, and Ngawang Rinchen naturally knows how much I eat.

Looking around, there are dark mountains all around, and there are not even any trees.What's more, even if there is a tree, under the harsh conditions in Tibet, it is not bad to have a leaf, let alone produce wild fruits to feed people.

Looking around on the grass, the horse was still nibbling on the herbs with great interest.Sighing, I can't eat this horse.It is estimated that even if the whole horse is eaten, it will not be able to reach the Drepung Monastery.

Turning around from the corner of my eye, I couldn't help but stare at the sparkling river.

Because of water burial, most Tibetans do not eat fish.But not all waters meet the conditions for water burial, so there are still some areas that do not have this taboo.Seeing that the river that runs through the valley is not big, it is unlikely that anyone will be buried in water here.While thinking about it, I unconsciously looked at Ngawang Rinchen.

"What's the matter?" As if sensing my gaze, Ngawang Rinchen looked over with some doubts.I was taken aback, and moved closer to him, "Do you mind if I catch a fish to eat?"

"Fish?" Ngawang Rinchen shook his head after thinking for a while.

"Hehe... that's good." I immediately felt relieved, and handed him the Tang Gu in my hand, "Leave this to you, and I'll catch the fish."

Before he could move, I had already stood up and ran to the river.I took off my zomba shoes and tabby socks with hands and feet, and tied the crescent moon gown together with the light gray-purple outer robe together.After rolling up the trouser legs, I used my toes to swipe the river water, and it was not as cold as I imagined. Could it be that there is geothermal heat nearby?Not caring so much, I stepped in cautiously.

The gurgling springs flow at the feet, which is as comfortable and comfortable as a massage.Watching the river rushing slowly towards the valley from a distance, especially when you are still in it, an inexplicable emotion suddenly haunts my heart.Rather than calling it a river, it is better to say that it is a slightly larger stream.

Seeing the iron-black creek stones under my feet covered with potholes and hollows, I walked cautiously and slowly walked a few steps towards the center of the river.Although the water level is so shallow that it reaches the calf, it is more difficult to catch fish than I imagined.Looking at the sparkling eyes, I couldn't help but raise my head with some complaints.

The night sky in Lhasa has always been beautiful, the galaxy and clouds are almost clearly visible, coupled with the bright moonlight.It's pleasing to the eye.It's just that the complicated brilliance makes the flowing water dotted with dots. Even if the bottom is clear, it's hard to see the same sparkling fish in the water.

"Isn't it about catching fish? Why are you enjoying the night?"

According to the reputation, Ngawang Rinchen was squatting on the bank, looking at me with shining eyes.I couldn't help rubbing my eyelids, it's really weird, everything is glowing no matter how I look at it today.Opening his eyes again, Ngawang Rinchen had already stood up.I smiled embarrassedly, "The night sky is so bright tonight, it's so disturbing, I can't see the fish clearly."

"There it is." Ngawang Rinchen suddenly became concentrating.I looked in the direction of his finger, where the water flowed and moved, and it was vaguely a swimming fish.I tried my best to take two steps without disturbing the river, and when I saw the right moment, I rushed forward.

With a "crash", a circle of water splashed in front of my eyes.I didn't see it clearly for a while, I just felt fishy in my mouth, as if I drank a mouthful of river water.Flicking the water on my face, I looked at my empty hands and couldn't help but sigh that my fishing skills were not good enough.

Probably because there was too much movement just now, the fish are almost scared now.I looked around and couldn't find one.Suddenly, the river at his feet moved.Turning around, I saw Ngawang Rinchen rolling down his trouser legs and descending into the river. I couldn't help being taken aback, "Why did you come down?"

"According to your way of catching, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat fish at dawn." Ngawang Rinchen rolled up his sleeves and said, staring at the water.Only now did I realize that there was an extra branch in his hand, and I couldn't help being a little surprised, "Ngawang Rinchen, have you ever caught fish before?"

"No." He replied lightly, suddenly exerted strength with his hand, and there was a "stab" sound, and a fish was immediately attached to the branch in his hand, and it was still accurately stuck on his belly.Under the moonlight, the scales of the fish shone brightly. It flicked a few times with all its strength, and then stopped moving.Seeing it hang up in front of me with my own eyes, I still feel a little bit sorry.

Seeing me staring intently at the fish on the branch, Ngawang Rinchen couldn't help feeling amused, "I decided to eat it, so what's the point of being sad?"It's a pity if you don't eat it.

Seeing that Ngawang Rinchen turned around and began to search carefully in the water again, I somehow thought of Runtu stabbed with a steel fork under the full moon. "Puchi" smiled, but suddenly his shoulders were pressed, Ngawang Rinchen looked at me with frowned, "Shhh, don't startle them."

Before the words fell, the branch in his hand plunged into the water again.A strong fishy smell came into my nostrils, and I immediately looked at Ngawang Rinchen in admiration. I couldn't imagine that he, who doesn't eat fish, can catch fish with style.It seems that fishing is a thing that requires talent, I couldn't help but smacked my lips a little self-deprecatingly.

Although fishes do not have external ears, their sense of hearing is extremely sensitive.For fear of startling them, I stopped talking.The only sound around is the sound of water flowing under your feet.Suddenly, the water flashed.I hurriedly grabbed Ngawang Rinchen's arm, but the fish seemed to swim away.Before I could point him in the right direction, I swooped towards the spot of light.

With a "crash", the water splashed high again.It is estimated that [-]% of the fish will escape again, so I can't help but take a step forward.Unexpectedly, my feet were slipped by a stream stone, "Ah!" I screamed in fright, and my body suddenly lost my center of gravity and I didn't know where to fall.

"Be careful..." Suddenly, her waist tightened, as if being grabbed by something.Feeling that my toes fell back to the rocks on the river bed, I took advantage of the trend to stabilize my body.Looking at the hand clasped around my waist, my face became inexplicably hot again.

I don't know if I am oversensitive, but I always feel that getting along with Ngawang Rinchen is not as natural as before.I feel that my mentality has not changed much, but I can't figure out where the problem lies.Just like now, after getting along with him for so long, this is the first time the idea of ​​"lonely man and widow" came into my mind.

Before I could think about it, Ngawang Rinchen had already supported me to stand firmly, and withdrew his hand from my waist.I smiled blushingly, "I'm really sorry to trouble you again."

Ngawang Rinchen sighed, and said slowly, "It's fine if I come, you go back to the shore."

"Huh?" Seeing his unrestrained expression, I couldn't help laughing, "What's wrong with you, but to learn from Tsangyang Gyatso."

Ngawang Rinqin smiled lightly, with a careless expression, "Don't you just follow that?"

When I heard it, I immediately turned down my face, "Why are you starting to entertain me?"

Seeing me like this, Ngawang Rinchen couldn't help showing an amused look in his eyes, "Okay, I made a mistake in my words. The water is cold at night, so hurry back to the shore."

"Oh! That's fine." I sighed, "For the sake of catching fat fish for me, I will forcefully listen to you once." Before I could speak, I turned around with a smile on my face. The flowing river "shuashua" landed on the bank.At this moment, it seems that there is no difference from before.I shrugged helplessly, presumably I was overthinking before.It was so unexpected, I thought I was just short-sighted.

I picked a big smooth rock and sat down. I hugged my wet legs and looked up at the starry night sky for a while, and Ngawang Rinchen who was still catching fish in the river. With a crisp sound of "pa", another dying fat fish was thrown ashore.

"Are these enough?"

Turning my head to look at the five big fat fish lying quietly on the shore, sparkling and shining, I couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.Seeing me like this, Ngawang Rinchen retracted the branch inserted into the water like a "steel fork".It is said that when the water is clear, there will be no fish, and I don't know how this fish grows, with such a fat head and big ears.Is it possible...but then I thought about it, if I really grew up eating that food, Ngawang Rinchen would not have caught it for me.

The sound of "swirling" water came from the ear, and after a moment of ecstasy, Ngawang Rinchen had already walked ashore.Under the moonlight, the dark blue robe corners had a faint luster of water stains.

"Huh? Why is your robe wet too?" I reached out and picked up his robe, and suddenly felt a chill, and it was wet a lot.
