Altitude sickness not only tortured Mr. Li Li, but also Su Nuo and Gu Chenglan suffered from lack of oxygen and dizziness from time to time.
Most of the convoy from Beihua still followed them, and only a small part left because they did not agree with Sunuo's decision.
Of course, some of them chose to quit because they couldn't bear to see their beloved teachers leave like this.
The speed of the car also slowed down, because the old gentleman's condition became more and more critical.
Sunuo kept talking in the old gentleman's ear, hoping that he would wake up and see the Potala Palace he longed for.
Finally, on that morning with a clear sky, Mr. Li Li woke up.
Su Nuo's heart trembled. She knew that this might be a "return to light."
But what Sunuo didn't expect was that the old man woke up too soon, and he didn't even have time to take a look at the towering snow-capped mountains and the majestic Potala Palace.
The old gentleman just held Suno's hand and said a word.
And this sentence only has five short words: "I request... sky burial."
Tears welled up in Sunuo's eyes, but before she could say anything more, she felt the old man's hand loosen from hers.
"Teacher!" He called softly, and then burst into tears.
Senior Brother Lu and several other students who were closest to the teacher were also there, and everyone bowed their heads in silence.
In the end, Gu Chenglan had to hold Sunuo in his arms and pat her back silently.
At this time, there is no need for too many words of comfort. As long as you understand Sunuo's thoughts, you will understand that this kind of grief cannot be alleviated, and you can only wait for time to slowly heal her.
Afterwards, Sunuo and several senior brothers agreed to sky-bury Mr. Li Li here according to his wishes.
Let Mr. Li Li rest forever in this holy land intertwined with blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains and the Potala Palace.
At this point, the team could be considered to have achieved its ultimate goal, and then they dispersed.
The whole journey from Beihua to the final disbandment of the convoy took two months and seven days.
Senior Brother Lu originally wanted to spend more time with Sunuo, but he was afraid that she would be too sad. They were also afraid that after everyone disbanded, only Suno and Gu Chenglan would be left unable to drive back to Beihua.
Gu Chenglan said: "You can ask a driver to drive you back. Xiaonuo and I want to stay here for a few more days."
Indeed, the pure power of faith here can make people feel inexplicably calm.
Gu Chenglan felt that these years had been difficult for Sunuo and his heart strings were too tight, so he wanted to take this opportunity to rest here.
When everyone dispersed, only Gu Chenglan was left to accompany Suno.
Gu Chenglan said to Suno: "It's a pity that I can't take you to climb the snow-capped mountains now."
Sunuo doesn't care about a certain form of travel, she just cares about who she is with.
The two of them are like devout pilgrims here, and they occasionally spend a few days going around the lake with others.
Although the scenery along the way is beautiful, it is even more difficult. It cannot be accomplished without a pious and persevering heart.
Gu Chenglan has been driving during this period and has not done any systematic rehabilitation, so when going around the lake, he puts in more energy and physical strength than others. But after one lap, the effect turned out to be quite good.
In this way, they stayed here until it was about to snow, before Su Nuo and Gu Chenglan returned to Beihua.
Returning to the city, hearing the noisy noise he had not seen for months, Suno felt that he felt relieved and much more at ease.
Unexpectedly, the first call Su Nuo received after turning on her phone was from Gu Ying! !
