October 4
* Morning, speeding off lightly bathed in soft golden light of the morning under the wide prairie, the car in a row of low mud house before the stop.
This is known as "Western China" and also being called as the "New Dragon Inn" maniganggo town Mody?
Fish Music has been a headlong into the room to Mai Zaodian earth - we have to rush to the first half-hour's drive outside the protected areas, new road sea sunrise shoot.
Lying in the window, I looked for a while, it went off rushed.
Small Inn shrouded in the dim light, the hazy to see only hot flue gas, and the Tibetans Yingyingchuochao, I stared a moment at the door.
"ARE YOU FROZEN? (Do you have frozen)" suddenly heard a loud and sweet English.
Was taken aback, Mother looked, dressed fleet has a neat, bearing elegant, exactly like Sean. Connolly, middle-aged foreign men sitting in a corner of the table, a cup of tea in hand, look at me with a smile.
I do not know how to describe him, and can only say that I saw a real gentleman impeccable; and poor in this desolate land of dull encounter such ignorance of the shiny, man, if he is a woman, can only use the "Stunning" to describe my feeling.
He saw me Lengzheng forward, asked over again. I bow to look into the rice dumplings wrapped in the appearance of their own, can not help laughing. In addition to cap the moment, release the collar, the bag may Yanyanshishi only two eyes, face exposed freed said to him: NOW, THE MUMMY IS COMING BACK (now, the mummy back to life). Both of them laughed.
I laugh to disperse into the chill from the house, closing the distance between the two strangers travelers. I told him that we wanted to go Dege, then south to the Batang folding. His tone Lidai a slightly yearning and pride, that he is French, has been maniganggo spent three days in preparation for today's departure from Tibet Dege, play all the way to Nepal. It made me envy and wonder: foreigners from China to Tibet must be equipped with guides ah. How could he have a single person here? Sure enough, he pointed to the door just a young man said that this was his guide. Usually with a foreigner's guide, can not help a little air of self-righteous. This young man is not, serenity humility of a person fluent in English, and I talked a few words, they take the plane out of barley mixed with butter tea for their own breakfast. I asked how they do not walk a new path does the sea. French people thought that whenever called the "national parks, protected areas" of the class must be overcrowded. I am a Talk to Me "BUT THIS IS SUCH A ISOLATED PLACE! Here is how to remote parts of the ah." Three out of the window to see the open road, phase depending on and laughed.
Yuehua Jian, fish music has been bought for breakfast, I had to hurry a. And they are blessed with each other a pleasant journey, and our car in the vast grasslands far away.
In the new road the sea spend an entire morning, lunch hours to return maniganggo, to the tavern, only to find that table has been empty. I know that I will never again could not see the gentleman, and not as I will never forget that day early in the morning of his smile and warm greetings to leave each other's memories.
* I was standing maniganggo Inn entrance.
Just a truck to go to Lhasa to worship the Tibetans, and lively at the door suddenly fall down deserted. Avenue, only a very few old Tibetan stoop-shouldered walk. Self-boring afternoon sun pipes in the roof near the distant mountains and the diversion of changes made between the games.
His eyes caught sight of fish are happy carrying his camera trailing the back of Jiao Li turned into a lane, I am starting 1:00 curiosity, but also with the past.
Turn the side of a corner, in front of me full of joy scene "Ah," laughed bloom.
The other side of the original wall facing the road on the ramp, slide a row of small open space with good horses, horses are decorated in bright air, Tuozhuo colored items, ready a look; caravan li-li with three brightly colored clothing Tibetan clothing girls. Thin hair debate Drooping in their places before and behind, hair the color between the decorative beauty of the small accessories, whole placed on their eye-catching costumes and shy smile, it seems that even around the old house also has an instant glamorous.
Raised fish are happy to see the camera, the girls were all laughing a cover your face, but secretly looked at me from the mean crevices. I also do not know how good you stood there innocently, washed them laugh. Suddenly a burst of inspiration, take a digital camera to give them took one, waving so that they look machine house image. They make each other's eye color, it seems shy and hesitant, but finally could not resist the curiosity is surrounded to the front of the camera. Yi Qiao, the Ye smile opened, pointing roughhouse with each other, seems to be ridiculed each other. After several moments but grabbing a smile, dignified and stand there, eyes looking elsewhere, only to cast a glance at me from time to time. I think they are actually curious about my curiosity of no less than I do to them. Are thinking of how close to them, a pedestrian has to roll up the reins, shouted from horses. I panic-up: how it? How it? Fish are happy guess they are leaving. How left out? I would like to speak it, and they said, they are not also think so? They want to go Where to go? Yes to the periphery and that the vast ranch to go? Their cattle and sheep ranch is not flocks of yellow flowers everywhere? They ride at the ranch is not a thousand miles, happy wind, muddy unlike bound in the town look like?
I stare at. Fish start to wake up happy, mad to catch up with Sidibajiao, rushed to the caravan in front, side back side to give them photographed. They laughed, and speed up the pace in one hand and seems to cover the face in one hand and pull tight reins, shouting brisk walking horses. Horses are noisy the left, the last of a small pony for fear of being pulled, and a panic rushed to the mother's side, squeezing squeezing pay pay to keep up with the caravan.
I Bieguo Lian, quietly wiped tears to his eyes. No, not sand lost my eyes. Just the group of race horses love to leave together, and girl, ah, can I go the distance with you wandering?
* Maniganggo the pub seems to be quite a mixed bag place. The three of us, according to the most inside a table, drink buttered tea while watching the situation around them.
Big sun bright and sunny outside, pubs still have lights on it actually. Pub facade not only them the 56 tables, drink tea and chat with a few Tibetans sitting. I can only see their backs, and around the waist of Bupao other kinds of knives. Door shadow flash, came a man: an assault pants, fortitude dark face, he went to the kitchen to be a simple meal, alone, according to table ate a great deal. Appears to be a single Sheung donkey. Later, after him, I nodded to him, and he call back hello. It turned out he came all the way from Yushu in Qinghai Province, it is necessary to go to the Ganzi.
Been a while, suddenly jumped into a young foreigner. Lad to see Lian Xing should be German, shaving a flat head, appeared to be very spiritual, but in this strange environment seemed a little nervous, so even a first-come of that ass with his single "Hello" soon as he did not respond. He picked Zhang inconspicuous corner of a table to sit down, look around inside. 1:00 staggered our eyes. I smiled to pay tribute. He Yi Leng, also smiling response, also looked as relaxed.
Our meal came,, and served in shallow soil yellow saucer, two plates buckle one gets here, and then points to the table the guests before the opening. I saw another trance: This pub, so that utensils should be a waiter far gives a yell, plate Rusuo spinner over, the guests calm and collected the one hand, long-sleeved Yifu beggar on the desktop, each concentrating eat refrain from that.
I know that my thoughts ridiculous, may be it is called a New Dragon Gate Inn's food, it seems like this should eat.
A small inn, bringing together the parties knight, a moment that table of people came, a moment that a table of people and went.
How this small pub like this world, this scene just drop it, it also kicked off a staged?
****************
Maniganggo ah, maniganggo,
My past lives of the hometown,
I would like to take my girl come
In this pub watching maiden's red dress Piaowu, Oreocharis Dingdang.
See coming and going of the joys and sorrows,
Listen to travelers knight legend playing and singing
Then, finish the last bowl of highland barley wine,
I would like to shake her hand,
We jump started soon, and
Vast expanse of the green wild so that we get too far away,
Surf Tianya two forget themselves from rivers and lakes
