A familiar feeling came to my heart, and that was the feeling of being deceived.
Then I felt that I was not deceived, because this was an obvious problem. If Ning Peiping and the others deliberately deceive me, they would not be able to make the deception so simple, but I had some negligence. Such an obvious problem is only now seen.
The next morning, shortly after Chongyang and I finished our breakfast, the doorbell rang, and when we opened the door, we saw Ning Peiping and Ning Peichun standing outside the door, each standing in front of the two plateau reds.
"Others won't come here, Achun and I will come to pick you up."
"Can you find my house so soon?" I said thoughtfully.
Ning Peichun smirked, but Ning Peiping's expression remained unchanged.
When the two entered the door, I was straight to the point and asked how they knew about Gu Tang. "You can’t have such a clear information about the outside world, like Jialingjiang and Gu Tang, if you don’t know what happened in the past few years. It’s impossible to know how to use this thing to make things happen to me."
After a word, I sat on the sofa and looked at these two people. Ning Peiping's expression remained unchanged, but Ning Peichun appeared rather restrained. He patted his head in annoyance and said, "I drank some wine yesterday. Make it clear." I saw that neither of them showed the embarrassment after being dismantled, and I was relieved in my heart.
But after Ning Peiping sighed, the tone and expression of that whispered speech made my heart burst again. This is about to start telling the story again.
The story Ning Peiping said, although the key information is not too much, it is still interesting, and most of the plots are related to Ning Peiping. The other seven people also appear occasionally, but they write the story. To get rid of the chaos, I will mainly use Ning Peiping as the main point of view to describe his experience.
Let’s talk about the people of Ning Peiping first, the Tibetans of Han people, Lhasa people, and Lhasa are also the seat of the main branch of the Qinghai-Tibet Ning family. By the time Ning Peiping was born, the so-called Qing-Zang Ning family main branch had no binding force on the children of the clan. The incense in the ancestral ancestral hall of the former ancestors is no longer prosperous. Most of the time, only Ning Peiping’s grandfather cleans the incense.
His father was a truck driver who traveled on the Sichuan-Tibet line all year round. Although he earned a lot of money, he still tied his head to his trouser belt to do things. The earthen jar was inevitably broken. The heavy snow that year came especially. Early in the morning, his father braved the wind and snow to run freight along the Sichuan-Tibet line. He wanted to go home a year ago, but he encountered a mountain collapse. When the body was found, the truck was buried in the snowdrift.
The front windshield was smashed by gravel, and the cab was filled with snow. Rescue personnel pulled the snow away and found that his father's body was still holding the steering wheel in the hand. It turned out that he was not frozen to death, but was smashed to death by the gravel that smashed the front windshield, the Tianling cover was lifted, and the brain tissue was frozen crystal clear.
After his father's death, Ning Peiping would be self-reliant. First he worked as a soldier for a few years, and after demobilization, he would seek a living in southern Tibet. I first stayed in Medog for a few years, working part-time job as a porter, and then returned to Lhasa. After I figured out a few travel routes around Lhasa, I took a few other students from the clan to give those who arrived in Lhasa. People who don’t know where they can go are tour guides, drivers and porters.
Of course, under their identities as ordinary people, they are the last heirs of the Qinghai-Tibet Ning's Parenthood Plan. This identity is like a person who learns the dragon slaying technique. There is no real dragon in the world. When they were very young, they were told by their grandfathers that the Ning family was originally from the Central Plains. They came here from the war hundreds of years ago, and they have hidden a lot of unknown secrets here.
At that time, the young Ning Peiping asked, what was the unknown secret, and his grandfather shook his head and said it was called the Longevity Plan. Ning Peiping asked again, can our people live forever? Grandfather continued to shake his head: "I don't know either."
The Ning family that was once prosperous in the name of his grandfather was just a coolie family at the time. As the patriarch of the Ning family, he himself only worked on the ranch. This is everything in the Qinghai-Tibet Ning Family in recent decades. There is only life, and the longevity plan is just a legend that is no longer seen.
Ning Peiping only knew the secrets of the family, and he stayed on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau all the time at the request of his grandfather, guarding a secret he didn't know, and most of his time was just for living.
He also opened a tavern in Gongga, which is usually taken care of by the elderly in the family, and will take care of him for a period of time when he has nothing to do. This tavern is mainly for tourists who travel by car. The surrounding tourist routes basically pass through here, so there are quite a few guests coming and going.
Said it is a pub, but it only provides some home-brewed liquor and hot water with different strengths. There are some simple tables and chairs in the house, and there is no reception desk. If it is placed in other places, the pub will look out of place, but In Tibet, there are quite a few flavors in it. Even the entertainers are often not there. In the corner is a large wine tank with hot water next to it. A paper shell is nailed to the wall. It is written in Chinese and Tibetan. Baijiu is taken by oneself, fifteen bowls and free hot water.
About a few months ago, heavy snow was about to close the mountain, and tourists entering Tibet were scarce, but there will still be some tourists stranded in Tibet. Ning Peiping's family is in Lhasa, and the tavern environment is not very good, just because no one is going into the mountain, Ning Peiping got out of his life and took the old man to Lhasa, and went to see the tavern for a while.
Most of the people who will come at this time are foreign tourists stranded in Tibet. Sometimes people who are bored in their residences run around against the wind and snow. If you are lucky, you can entertain three or five people, but if you are unlucky There may be no one, but this is nothing to Ning Peiping. Anyway, he can't find anything to do when he goes out in this kind of weather.
After a few days without anyone alone, Ning Peiping didn't bother to get up and open the door, and would not get up until late in the morning. When he got up that morning, he saw a person sitting in the lobby drinking and drinking. The door was not tight, and cold wind was hanging in from outside. Ning Peiping stepped forward to close the door tightly, and looked at that person by the way. He was a freshman, not someone who had come here frequently these days. It looks like he is in his twenties, about the same age as himself.
"Do you want hot water?" Ning Peiping asked.
The man took a sip, looked at him with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and nodded by the way, "I want it."
Ning Peiping went to the back and fired a pot of water with briquettes. When he came out, the man was still sitting there. The bowl in front of him was empty. Ning Peiping asked again, "Do you want more wine?"
The man nodded: "Let's have another bowl."
Ning Peiping muttered in his heart as he went to pour wine for him. Usually, there are a lot of tourists who come here. There are more tourists who come to this kind of wind and snow. On the one hand, they want to find someone to relieve their boredom. On the other hand, tourists always like to chat with locals to understand the customs. But the man was very quiet. He drank three bowls of wine and drank some hot water. At this time, Ning Peiping had already set the fire pit in the lobby to the ground, but the man stood up, adjusted his clothes, and got up to leave.
Ning Peiping got up, saw a banknote on the table, and said, "It's too cold outside. You can wait for the wind to get lower before leaving."
The man shook his head and said, no need.
Opening the door, the wind and snow were strong outside, and the cold wind came in and reduced the fire in the fire pit. The man covered his head with his coat and went out, closing the door for Ning Peiping by the way.
Originally, Ning Peiping thought he would never see the man again, but the next morning, when he endured the cold and got up, the man sat there alone, drinking with a bowl of wine, and saw Ning Pei. He was flat, and nodded in greeting with a smile.
Ning Peiping also nodded, "Do you want hot water?"
"need."
The man still drank three bowls of wine and a little hot water, put a paper money on the table, and left.
On the third morning, Ning Peiping woke up early. Before the person came, he boiled the water first. As soon as the hot water was boiled, the person came again and saw Ning Peiping bring him hot water to drink. , Did not say anything, just took it with a smile.
For six days in a row, every day, Ning Peiping wondered if he was a woman, but he also had an explanation. At this time, he couldn’t figure out what the man was doing every day. He made up his mind to ask questions tomorrow. .
I don't want to take the initiative to speak when the man finishes his first bowl of wine on the seventh day. (End of this chapter)
