D4, Bong Branch - Phascolosoma crossing (crossing the river) - Laba Village (lunch) - White Jiangya - La City Section - kawa
Today's tasks are relatively heavy, so got up early in the morning. Breakfast is to use last night's get the noodle soup pot, fantastic! Spirited departure time is 7:30 or so.
At noon we crossed the Jinsha River prior to the evening to Dagva. Out Bong Branch did not take long to see Jinsha River meandering thin at the bottom regardless of the roads, but no way, we would like Ben would certainly true that towards the river bank, the small hills are no trees blocking vision, can be dry and slippery sand and gravel road, or delayed the success of steps forward, two hours after the ferry to a riverside village, smooth sandy beaches under the Phascolosoma crossing is at hand.
Then just a herd of cattle was rushing down the ferry, dozens of head of cattle forward running, splashing at the foot of river sand is very spectacular! Ferry is only a wooden boat, I was directly asked whether crossing the river boatman 5 yuan / person, otherwise he will want you to 15 yuan / person, locals are 23 yuan / person, not five minutes to reach the other side, when the feeling was a bit tired . The shore stones is a very suitable place to enjoy the cool air, beside the river is the rolling yellow sand, blue sky overhead, where is the old Phascolosoma crossing, when the Yuan Dynasty by Kublai Khan's army cross the river, lying in a huge stone, turn a blind eye meditation is like a powerful army Pentium and off, do not have some emotion!
Well, move on! Time is around 11:00. Q out of a big brother to him, that is to have relatives to help butcher. The village was about to Arabia. Now is the season of slaughter pigs by the end of the slack, it seems this is their year, quite an important event. Moso tribe there is a unique method of curing a whole pig - called the pipa meat. We later saw in the Laba village is only just a whole pig on the whole Yanhao room. An older brother to say that our greedy Jin came again, Wow, there is pork to eat ye! Big Brother Daoting readily, it would go together! After all, Montagnards, and soon we are far from the pull down, and Oh, well, really embarrassed to call him waiting for us, pork appears to be unlikely to eat!
To continue to move forward soon to the Laba village. Is far from the village to see a two-storey Mulou brilliant bougainvillea in full bloom and the azaleas under the wall, cross-pieces echo the very beautiful. Into a look, is one of the others opened a small shop, but also hung up a "Rural side of tea Arabia acquired point" card, Ai pieces do not see it discharged "side of tea," What is Dongdong, Ai pieces of the local tea ! Question worth mentioning. Instructed to prepare the main family after lunch, we drink tea on the second floor. Cher bought a bottle of orange juice, a drink is a fake, so if you want to buy the best is to buy canned drink, this false high degree of difficulty, they made do not come out. The owner is a village cadre, his family was good, from the pictures hanging on the wall inside the dress to see that they are Moso tribe, but this has not left the village Moso marriage, and also in the kitchen there is a fire hall, where Han, Moso and Naxi mixed. The yard is very comfortable, leaves Hanadana the stone table under a cool air. His family also appears to have just killed a pig, everywhere, drying the bacon. Lunch there is delicious bacon, tastes great, and after dinner did not put the entire fight leftover packet! More difficult because of the way the afternoon of great elevation from the 1500-2650M has always wanted to climbing, to turn the one known as La City, Branch Yakou, so please help to find the owner of two horses (30 yuan / piece), a pack luggage , to ride a little and say one person was prepared by a bottle of water, do not take more than 2 o'clock start!
It is a time when the sun is the most poisonous, though I and Cher are Qingshenjianfei go to because it has been climbing, began long before a moral one. Too hot, and I have only to wear a shirt buttons all be answered, still wet, dry, dry and wet streams go visit to see him splashing, to the head red, or hot! Must not stop, a stop on the move any! I think that it is overdrawn, and Cher Fortunately, the more backward walking, the more resilient woman can be reflected. Persist, persist, or insist on! We cheer each other. The sky had a distant clouds, a feeling that it has been accompanied us, altitude rising, that cloud has also been changed, while a cartoon, while animals. In the hands of water to drink light, and filling a bottle a bit muddy river water is also drunk by.
A man named Bushko a small mountainside village, we went to discuss water to drink in front of family, language barriers, poured bottles and pointed zoned zoned, and finally understand. Kids come up with clear spring water to fill the empty bottle into another ran into the walk, come out soon so we were surprised that a pile of oranges upon their arms both hands us a very sour oranges to throw away not long ago in Lijiang ate can this really thirst quencher, but also Montagnards for passing a simple emotional ah!
To continue to move forward, large group of baby popping her head look inside an exploration, discovery is a school - it is that you want to project the kind of propaganda to see old school, if not the students came from the Qiang Li laughter, you can only considered to be an abandoned shack. The classroom is only a few broken wooden desk, a wooden blackboard, dirty, and shy students. Irrepressible heart touched by the simplicity of the villagers in front of infection, the old P proposed to donate a hundred dollars to go here, students looking for a long time to find a teacher to see Wai, the teacher around these lovely students, were intended to show the P I do not know why the old saying no and tell him only 300 out of money to the hands of a Cypriot teacher, turned away, tears wins box out. I really wish for the simplicity of the mountain people here, do something!
Continue to walk, met the horses returned, saying that we are small and in the upper road. After a long time we are finally on the road, small, and I do not know where to wait is called the pull-City Section Yakou do not know where, just-do-Longitudinal-on, turn a small corner, small, and are in the Hugh Lane shade of a tree sat a question Yakou said only three kilometers, and so the villagers not to say that a good send Yakou, and how the matter dropped here. Heavy luggage back down along the road you do not find it very hard. The sky late, it seems difficult to Dagva the evening.
Is difficult when the back up an agricultural vehicle, Cher proposed FB click free ride, Anyhow take the road had not much significance, beautiful shot is good, and before they are waved cars stopped. Driver brother exactly kawa village, is Pumi, in March this year, the farm had just bought a car recently transported daily from Zhuangzi village of timber to Arabia. Cher and small, and to discuss with him tonight to his home, brother a little bit embarrassed that poor family, hope that we do not mind. A half-hour mountain three to switch 2 to switch on to the Big Brother house where kawa village.

Big Brother's mother and wife is Mosuo woman, so the final say at home mom. Big Brother is very enthusiastic on his own kinds of seeds and apples around Huo Tangbian greeted us sit down, while the mother looked at cooking, side, and talk with us, within months of a small BB asleep in her mother's arms, multi-warm evening! At night to eat corn, broken rice sandwiched, very fragrant, really lucky they have done today has just raised a three-year slaughter of an old chicken soup good, could be eating chicken, it does not move, people think that straight is called "Jing - Yu, "the guy.
Older brother at home without extra bed, so we once again in an empty room and a tent erected in our "little house" and the children are curious come to see fresh probe. Opened the window was about to breathe, it was found not loaded on the glass!
