  Chapter 549 Visiting a collector
  : The top of Nyenchen Tangla is covered with snow all year round. June is like a cold winter. When the sun has just risen, it shines on the top of the mountain. The glacier reflects the sun, and a faint golden light shines like the light of the Buddha.

  Just as the sun was just shining on the top of the mountain, a man in black assault clothes climbed up to a small mountain range near the main peak of Nyenchen Tang La Mountain, carrying two headless corpses.

  The top of the snow peak has always been inaccessible. The person carrying the headless corpse placed the body on the ice, took out a knife and cut the ice on the slightly sloping ice, weeping while cutting the ice, and weeping while cutting. Bing cried until his exposed eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts.

  He kept chipping away at the ice for two hours before he dug out a rectangular pit, placed the two headless corpses in the ice pit, and then covered the two headless corpses with layers of ice. The body was hidden in the ice. The cracks in the ice were smoothed out with crushed ice and snow, and then the place where the body was hidden was marked. Then he immediately went down the mountain and disappeared into the vast snow-capped mountains.

  Le Yun, who had gone separate ways from Handsome Yan, arrived at the foot of the iceberg. She ran twice around the foot of the mountain where it connected to the icebergs and hills, trying to find the place where the two flying heads descended and hid their bodies last night. After a circle, I didn't find any traces, and there was nothing to be disappointed about. I entered the valley along the ice peaks.

  Go to a place where you can't see it from far and near, check that there is no one around, duck back to the space, and hurriedly run to the bottom of the fruit tree and climb up the tree to collect the fruits.

  The little fox and little Huihui were already on the fruit tree, each holding a red apple and gnawing on it. When they saw the little human girl coming back, they glanced at it and continued gnawing. After gnawing the apple, they went to work.

  Classmate Le, who was busy taking care of the crops, was busy in the space until past noon. He finally harvested all the crops in the apple, pear and medicinal fields, planted the medicinal seedlings dug up last night in the medicinal fields, and planted corn. With soybeans and wheat, I originally thought of space, but after thinking about it, I also cut out the seedlings of the three snowdrops growing in the medicinal field. The snowdrops grew for nearly four months before they finally showed signs that the plants were approaching autumn and could be harvested. .

  After all the space crops were carefully taken care of, Le Xiaoxiao put on his simple luggage and ran towards the Burial Snow Mountain. When he encountered medicinal materials that were not available in the meadow, he dug up some as seedlings and climbed all the way until he passed the snow line. Search carefully.

  He traveled day and night, running in the snow-capped mountains during the day, and returning to space to sleep at night. At noon of the next day, he finally found a kind of snow lotus - Snow Lotus with swollen stems near the snow line of an inaccessible snow peak.

  There are many varieties of snowdrops. Snowdrop refers generally to Tianshan Snowdrop in a narrow sense, which is one of the rarest varieties among big-bract snowdrops.

  Snowdrops mostly grow in plateau meadows and flowstone beaches. Snowdrops with swollen stems also grow in iceberg moraine shoals. There are about a dozen of them. Because the snow in Z Province only begins to melt in late April and early May, snowdrops have just emerged. Tender buds emerge.

  After finding a kind of snow lotus, Le Yun happily dug up three of them as seedlings, leaving the others to breed freely. Snow lotus is a spirit given to mankind by nature. So far, no artificial introduction has been successful and cannot be artificially cultivated. Their Survival has also been seriously challenged, with the population decreasing year by year and in danger of becoming endangered.

  After finding a variety of snow lotus, I embarked on the trip again to look for other varieties in the snow peak area at an altitude of about 4,000 to 5,000 meters.

  After running around several mountains, I found Tangut Snow Lotus at noon. On the afternoon of the third day, I searched for the source of the fragrance and found Miantou Snow Lotus. I found three kinds of Snow Lotus. My classmates from Le Xiao were also satisfied. On the fourth day, I ran together in the mountains. Started descending the mountain after half a day.

  She and Yan Shuai started from Beijing on the 7th and stayed in Province Q for one night. They were stuck in traffic for one night on the way to Province Z. They entered Tibet on the 9th and went to Nian Qingtang Ancient Mountain in the morning of the 10th to wander around the mountains. In four days, on the 13th, I have to rush to meet up with handsome guy Yan to go to the Cordyceps area to prepare for digging Cordyceps.

  While Mr. Le Xiao was running around in the snowy mountains, Mr. Yan was eagerly waiting for the little Lolita in Dang County of Qu City. On the afternoon of the 12th, he finally waited for the team transporting supplies to Province Z.

  The He family's logistics support team is led by He Xiaoba. There are four vehicles, three vans and one off-road shed truck, all filled with supplies.

  The route taken by the supplies convoy was different from that taken by Le. They entered Z Tibet from Province C. They took a small amount of supplies with them when they set off from the capital, and then picked up some additional supplies when they arrived in Province C. Since they were not in a hurry, they did not have time to travel day and night. It was a long journey, and in order to adapt to altitude sickness, they had to rest and walk when they needed to, so they set off ahead of the others, but arrived a few days behind.

  After He Xiaoba led the convoy into Z Province, he stopped for one night in the capital city of Saskatchewan to reorganize. On the morning of the 12th, Cai Xiongjiujiu set off to the county to meet up. They arrived at the county seat after noon, found Xiaolongbao, settled the vehicle, and asked the driver to Living freely with the purchasers from the He family company who came with the car, He Xiaoba took his younger brother and walked around the streets.

  A group of people waited and waited. On the 13th, He Xiaoer and He Xiaosan took He Xiaofifteen and He Xiaoliu finally took a flight from Beijing to Sa City, the capital of Province Z. The four brothers took a bus to the county in Qu City to collect supplies. The security team meets.

  Everyone in the He family is here, but little Loli is missing.

  Le Xiao’s classmate only went down the mountain in the middle of the afternoon on the 13th. For others, it is easy to go down the mountain, but it is not difficult for her to go up and down the mountain. She went to the foot of the mountain in the evening and stayed in the space for one night. On the morning of the 14th, she emerged from the snow in the mountains. Ling, ran for more than ten miles, stopped a car on the urban and rural roads and chartered a car to the county seat.

  After driving non-stop all the way, and the high fare she paid, the driver didn't take any detours, and dropped her off at the county-designated street hotel at just 10:30.

  The little Lolita didn't come back for a long time, and Young Master Yan and the five handsome guys from the He family didn't dare to run away. They all gathered together in the hotel to play games and watch movies, waiting for the little girl who didn't know when she would show up. When they heard the call from the service desk, There was a pretty girl looking for her, so the six brothers dropped their things and rushed downstairs.

  Everyone ran downstairs and saw a short-haired little lolita in blue pants and black pants standing in front of the service counter on the first floor. She seemed to be particularly taken care of by the climate. Her face was still pink and tender after being in Z Province for several days, unlike them. The skin is a bit dry.

  "Little doctor, you're back."

  "Little Lolita!"

  Seeing the juicy little girl, the six He family brothers rushed forward enthusiastically, surrounded the person and asked them questions non-stop. He was tall enough to grab the little Loli's big backpack and help him carry it.

  "He Xiaoliu, are you here to join in the fun?" Looking at the group of handsome guys from the He family, Le Yun wanted to stare. Isn't it just digging cordyceps? Does the He family need to send a team of brothers to accompany them?

  "I'm not here to play. I'm a professional maintenance person responsible for machinery, including vehicle maintenance and machine repair." He Mingxin quickly declared his role lest the young doctor thought he was just a freeloader.

  "My third brother and I are translators." He Mingzhi pointed to himself and his brother He Mingjun, who is from the same mother.

  "I'm a purchaser." He Mingsheng raised his hand and said that he was not just a freeloader, not just making up the numbers. Each of his brothers had a task to fulfill.

  "Little beauty, I'm in charge of supplies." He Mingtao also stated his supervisory position.

  "After all, it seems that He Xiaolongbao is the only idler." "

  I am not an idler. My task is to help you manage Cordyceps sinensis and help you carry tools in your backpack." Yan Xing, who was treated as an idler, looked serious. Explain your usefulness.

  "Forget it, you are all useful, I am just an idler, when will we leave for the Cordyceps area?" "

  Little beauty, let's go have a meal, have a meal and then set off." He Mingtao smiled and winked: "Little beauty, let me tell you , there is a very good restaurant on this street. The soup with radish and cordyceps and pork ribs is so delicious that it makes you want to swallow a bowl."

  In order to try the cordyceps and pork ribs soup that makes you want to swallow a bowl, Xiao Le Xiao happily followed a group of handsome guys to the small restaurant , Cordyceps Spare Ribs Soup is really good.

  After having breakfast and lunch, the convoy set off. The people accompanying the car also found a place to have lunch when they received the phone call. Four trucks and one car drove majestically to Qu City.

  It took more than an hour for the convoy to arrive at the administrative center of Qu City. It only refueled and set off again. It drove for more than an hour and arrived at a township. The convoy stayed in the township. The He brothers drove a van to accompany Little Lolita there first. The village where Cordyceps was dug first reported that because there were no hotels in the countryside to receive tourists, the team members had to stop in the countryside first.

  The three brothers from the He family rode in the truck. He Xiaofifteen and Xiaoliu squeezed into the Cheetah. Young Master Yan drove the car, and the little girl sat in the passenger seat. The two cars drove along the country road for two and a half minutes before arriving at a village committee.

  Qu City is the highest altitude area in Z Province, and Qu County is also the only county without trees in the region. It is all plateau grassland and hills, and the residences are mainly blockhouses with masonry and earth structures.

  A long time ago, Tibetans lived by water and grass without fixed settlements. Later, they developed into a semi-residential and semi-pastoral style. The villages where they settled were generally sparsely populated and sparsely populated. Some villages had no names and were named after their serial numbers.

  The village the He family brothers went to was the home of He Xiaosan and He Xiaofifteen's grandmother. Because of this, the He family could easily find a place for the little doctor to dig for grass and insects.

  In comparison, the village is larger than some villages with only a few or ten households. After all, it is the village committee of several nearby natural villages, with a total of fifty or sixty households. Because Tibetans have to keep livestock in their homes, the villagers' homes are quite spacious. , there are three floors and two floors, most of them are two floors.

  Before the car arrived at the village, we saw a group of people waiting at the entrance of the village holding khatas. There were quite a few people, at least thirty or forty people.

  There were old, young and middle-aged people in the group. Both men and women wore robes and boots. At the front were two elderly people, and a middle-aged man in his fifties. He was the leader of the village, also known as the village chief.

  One is an elderly grandmother, with wrinkles stacked up like sea waves, a red and black face, wearing expensive jewelry, headdresses and accessories. There are also several middle-aged women and middle-aged men wearing festival robes. Bright and bright.

  More than a dozen people were holding hadas as if they were welcoming distinguished guests. There were seven or eight children, all five or six years old, and several women holding babies in their arms.

  When Yan Xing saw the crowd, he slowed down the car, turned when he turned to the intersection leading to the village committee, and drove slowly. He drove about a thousand meters and almost reached the entrance of the village. He stopped when he was about ten meters away from the crowd.

  He Mingjun and He Mingzhi quickly ran out of the car and ran toward the crowd. As they ran, they said hello to their grandmother's relatives and the villagers who came to greet them in Tibetan. The voices of the men and women saying "Tashi Delek" were mellow and beautiful.

  He Xiaoer, He Xiaoba, and He Xiaoliu got out of the car and walked to the Cheetah Car. They waited for the little doctor and their Xiao Longbao to come out, and then slowly walked towards the crowd together.

  He Mingjun and He Mingzhi rushed to the old man's side, bowed and saluted the headman first according to Tibetan etiquette, and extended the most pious and respectful greetings.

  The village chief Ngawang Cijie took the hada from the middle-aged man around him, put it on the child's neck, gave him the blessing of welcome home, touched the child's head respectively, pulled the child to touch his face, and asked the two children to meet him. Their Aki.

  He Mingjun and He Mingzhi rushed to the side of grandma Dawa, his eyes were red; Dawa also put a khata on the returning children first, took the two children in his hands, touched the top of his head and face to admire the children's appearance, and held them in his arms. He kissed his youngest grandson on the face and shed tears of joy.

  When the grandfather and grandson met, Dawa asked his grandson in Tibetan to invite the guests quickly.

  He Mingjun answered "good", took a few steps back, quickly picked up the pretty and cute little girl Shui Ling from Xiao Longbao, brought her to the villagers, first introduced him to the leader, his grandmother and the villagers in Tibetan, and then introduced it to the little doctor in Chinese Introducing the village chief and his grandmother.

  The village chief expressed his most sincere welcome to the guests: "Zibo, Qudemo, Gasu Xu."

  He Mingzhi translated: "Little doctor, the village chief said, 'Hello, distinguished guest from afar, welcome to you'."

  Le. Yun didn't understand Tibetan, so she could only put her hands on her chest, lower her head and bend down, say hello to the old man, and say "Thank you, Tashi Delek."

  Some young people who knew Chinese showed cheerful smiles. The children poked their heads curiously.

  The village chief extended a cordial welcome and personally presented a khata to the distinguished little guest. He Mingjun invited the young doctor to meet his grandma: "Little beauty, this is my mother's mother, my and Xiaoshi's grandma khata." Wa, Dawa means the moon."

  "Hello, Dawa Aji, Tashi Delek." Le Yun knew that Aji means grandma and Tashi Delek means auspiciousness. No matter who you say auspiciousness to, it means auspiciousness. Can't be wrong.

  The young Han guests were as kind and courteous as their own children. The old Dawa grandmother smiled broadly and brought a long white hada to the distinguished guest from afar. She said "Tashi Delek" repeatedly, and then let her go. The sons and daughters-in-law came to meet the guests.

  He Mingjun introduced his uncles and aunts to the little doctor. His maternal grandfather gave birth to eight children, only five of which survived. His mother, Mei Duo, was the fourth, followed by his three brothers, Cini, Pubu and Ba. Sang has a younger brother, Wangdui.

  Of the four uncles, only Tsini and Wangdui were at home, while Pubu and Pasang went to graze. Tibetans generally do not divide families, and when they divide families, they also divide families without dividing households. Families with many brothers take turns to herd animals, and the four of the Dawa family The children also take turns grazing, and this year it was Pubu and Basang's turn, so the couple was not present.

  Cini’s wife is named Quzhen Zhuoma, and Wangdui’s wife is named Sangmu. They are both in their fifties, they are also grandparents, and they understand Chinese. Cini and his wife stepped forward to offer khatas to the young guest. Expressing the warmest welcome, Wangdui and Sangmu then presented Hada to the young guests.

  After introducing their relatives, Dawa helped the young guest introduce people in the village. The simple Tibetans expressed their warmest welcome to the young doctor and offered khatas to express their respect for the doctor.

  Just like the night when she returned to Chao's house, Le Yun was in a daze and kept saying good luck. Her neck was covered with khatas, some were white, some were colorful, some were blue, and the silk khatas were long and long. Gotta mop the floor quickly.

  Tibetan people attach great importance to etiquette, respecting people first before humbleness, old people before young people. After introducing the little guest to the villagers, He Mingjun once again asked his brothers to come over and say hello to the villagers.

  The simple and enthusiastic villagers gave a friendly welcome to the guests from afar and gave them a hada.

  He Xiaoliu expressed that he was extremely jealous of the little beauty. She could no longer hang the hadads on her neck, so they only had a few.

  After everyone met, Dawa and his children accompanied the guests home, and also invited the villagers to sit at home with them. The villagers happily went along with them.

  He Mingzhi acted as the translator and followed his grandmother. He Mingjun and He Mingsheng drove behind them, entered the village, and drove to the door of their grandmother's house. Then they got out of the car, opened the door, and carried the gifts with their brothers. Wangdui and his wife also helped to carry the gifts. thing.

  The children did not go to the second floor of Dawa's house and went to play freely.

  Dawa's house is a three-story building with a large yard. The house is in the shape of a ruler on all sides. Some are rooms for cattle and sheep. The first floor of the house is a storage room for storing cow dung, pasture, etc. for burning fires.

  The second floor is the residential area, and half of the third floor is a sutra hall and half a terrace. It is a village house with a brick, mud and wood structure. There is not a single piece of wood visible on the outside. It has a grand appearance and a comfortable interior.

  Dawa originally wanted to entertain guests in the Sutra Hall, but because there were too many people, he went to the main living room on the second floor to entertain guests.

  The main room has complete sets of exquisite furniture, and the paintings are colorful. The outside of the bungalow looks simple, but the interior decoration is very beautiful. The walls and pillars are all painted with beautiful paintings, which is beautiful.

  Tibetans have separate seats for men and women. On the left side of the door is the female guest seat. After entering the host's house, the men and women sit separately. Dawa took the Han girl and himself to sit where the host sat.

  The seats are box-like stools, one meter wide, which can be used as beds. There is also a row of hidden tables in front, where food is placed. There is a stove in the middle, which burns cow dung and boils water. The room is warm.

  The He brothers carried large and small packages of gifts into the house and moved them again before sitting down and chatting.

  When He Mingjun and his brothers sat down, Cini, Wangdui and his wife brought out the yak meat, pancakes and fried noodles that had been prepared earlier to entertain the guests, and then poured butter tea to serve the guests.

  Le Yun once again accepted the host's courtesy without drinking butter tea. Instead, she chatted with the villagers and drank beef and pancakes. After chatting for a while, the host brought the teapot over again, served the tea, dipped the tea in it three times, and then took a sip. I politely complimented the tea well, waited for the host to refill the tea, and chatted with the villagers.

  The little loli drank tea in style, and He Mingzhi was secretly amused.

  After drinking meat and tea, the villagers also said goodbye. He Mingjun and his brothers immediately returned the gifts they brought to the guests, including a nine-jin bag of rock sugar and a two-jin bag of tea each.

  Tibetans like the number nine and consider the number nine to be the most auspicious. Because the tea takes up a lot of space, if it packs nine kilograms, it would be a big bag, so I only send two kilograms.

  The villagers took the gifts and went home happily. Zini and his brother took their nephew to see the guests out of the yard, and said they would visit everyone's home later.
