Chapter 624 The Meaning of Travel (19)
“It turns out that the lamb already has hair when it is born.”
Chen Jinzhi lay beside the railing and looked at it carefully.
"People also have hair when they are born."
Su Chengyi leaned aside with his arms folded and spoke slowly.
"Yes."
Chen Jinzhi lowered his head and smiled softly, his eyes falling on the mother and son nestling in the sheepfold.
Gyatso and Dolma just went out and brought back a lot of hay, which they carefully spread in the sheepfold to keep them warm.
“Lambs are very afraid of the cold. If they are not laid out properly, they will easily catch a cold if the wind is strong at night.”
Gyatso looks like a naughty boy, but he works very neatly, facing both sides. A foreigner explained.
"Yeah."
Su Chengyi raised his head and looked at the light bulb on the sheepfold. This probably also played the same role in keeping warm.
“Let’s go, grandma has already prepared the meal.”
At this time, Gyatso patted the grass clippings on his body and said suddenly without thinking.
Su Chengyi said "Huh?" with a hint of confusion.
"Take you to my house for dinner."
Gyatso raised his head with a look on his face that said, "I'm so stupid that you have to say this so clearly."
"It's not necessary. Will this trouble your family too much?"
Su Chengyi's first reaction was to refuse. He had always avoided such kindness from others.
On the contrary, Chen Jinzhi bent down and asked gently:
"Gyatso, when did you go back and tell your family that you would take us back for dinner?"
"When you just went to pick up hay."
Gyatso curled his lips and pointed. Dolma inviting other friends.
"She also knows that she originally wanted to ask you to go to her home, but then she changed her mind because my home is relatively big."
"Is everyone in the family here today? Are you there? With their consent?”
Chen Jinzhi smiled and continued to ask.
“Yes.”
Gyatso nodded again and slowly dug out the sawdust that had just been dug into his palm.
"Grandma is very happy. She said we haven't seen guests here for a long time, so let me ask you to come over quickly."
"That's right."
Chen Jinzhi nodded, looked up at Su Chengyi, and gave him a look.
The meaning is very clear. Even after reaching this point, it would be impolite to refuse.
Su Chengyi had no choice but to stand up from the wooden railing of the sheepfold, said "hmm" and replied:
"Okay, thank you, Gyatso."
“Cut.”
Gyatso snorted, carefully bolted the door of the sheepfold, and then led the two of them out.
Many people were invited, but only Su Chengyi and Chen Jinzhi could be called guests. Everyone else came to watch the fun.
Dolma held Chen Jinzhi's hand and skipped beside her, chirping and introducing her along the way.
“The colorful flags flying on the wall over there are Xiao Hei’s house. The tallest and largest house is Gyatso’s house. Next to Gyatso is my house! Sister, you will go home with me after dinner. Look, my grandma gave birth to a little sister some time ago."
"Okay"
Chen Jinzhi listened very seriously, nodding from time to time and responding gently.
Su Chengyi walked on the other side and sighed secretly. Chen Jinzhi was so good at communicating with children, and he was more than enough to be a kindergarten teacher or something.
From this point of view, it seems that we can imagine what she will be like as a mother in the future. She is definitely a model mother in the new era, the kind who can publish a "Encyclopedia of Parenting".
Miss Chu next door is not good at this.
Su Chengyi always felt that when a child acted mischievously, Miss Chu would most likely sit down in front of the child and roll around on the ground with him.
Su Chengyi was thinking about all these things when Gyatso poked his lower back and reminded:
“Look, my home is here.”
Su Chengyi raised his eyes after hearing this. Sure enough, I saw a courtyard that was incompatible with the surrounding buildings.
“Ouch.”
Should I say it or not, it’s quite impressive.
"Is your father the village chief?"
Su Chengyi couldn't help but ask.
“Yes.”
Gyatso did not mean to be secretive, and admitted it frankly.
So it turned out to be the case, Su Chengyi was convinced.
Many qualities of this boy were difficult to describe at first, but now they are very simple to sum up.
——The son of the village chief.
As soon as the group of people walked to the door, two middle-aged women with big smiles came up to them holding khatas in their hands.
Su Chengyi and Chen Jinzhi both lowered their heads and put their hands together to express their gratitude.
This is the hospitality etiquette of the ethnic minorities here, the kind that will appear in textbooks, and it is relatively easy to deal with.
"Ama!"
Gyatso shouted as soon as he entered the door, and was hit on the head hard by one of the women who had just presented the hada.
He reacted, muttering and going to bring the plate prepared next to him.
There were three wine glasses on the plate. Su Chengyi sniffed it and it smelled of the aroma of highland barley wine.
This is also the welcome etiquette, which is relatively important and can only be experienced by guests.
Su Chengyi knew nothing about this and stood side by side with Chen Jinzhi to avoid any unethical behavior.
Now that the guests are ready, the hosts in charge of the banquet stand up collectively, stand in a small circle around the guests, clap their hands and start singing a toast song.
The toast song is of course the national language. Su Chengyi and Chen Jinzhi knew nothing about it, so they had to clap along with the rhythm.
But even if they don’t understand it, the joyful and joyful atmosphere contained in the tune can be felt by everyone.
After singing one song, people feel like they are watching a grand banquet, during which they sing and dance, washing away the dust.
Su Chengyi laughed unconsciously and turned his head to look at Chen Jinzhi.
She also smiled happily with crooked eyebrows. It was rare to see such a real smile on her face.
Because the hada was hung up and there were many ethnic decorations in the background, this moment made people feel a little dazed.
It reminds me of Jingzhe. If she had not been born in such troubled times, she might have lived such a peaceful and happy life.
With this in mind, Su Chengyi couldn't help but turn on the camera on her phone and took a picture of her bright and gentle side face.
It’s the Jingzhe of a parallel universe.
Su Chengyi sighed quietly in his heart as he watched the camera freeze the moment.
The dining table prepared by Grandma Gyatso is a large round table, which is set up in the courtyard and can accommodate everyone.
After sitting down, Su Chengyi picked up the wine glass, lowered his head and took a sip.
The familiar taste of highland barley wine, the strong taste of grain, is not high in alcohol content.
Su Chengyi smacked it, turned his head and asked in a low voice:
"Want to taste a little bit?"
"Okay."
Chen Jinzhi struggled to put the pieces on the plate After swallowing a piece of yak meat, he picked up the wine glass and took a sip while holding his breath.
".Ahem."
Still not used to the smell of alcohol, she choked a little.
Su Chengyi laughed without sympathy and raised his hand to wipe the corner of her mouth.
Chen Jinzhi took a deep breath, slowly regained his composure, and glanced at him, his eyes sparkling.
There is a lot of food on the table, and Gyatso’s grandmother laid out everything from the bottom of the box. Perhaps as Gyatso said, no guests have been here for a long time.
It’s a pity that the village chief himself is not here. He just went out to buy something yesterday and will probably not be back until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Gyatso said that if he were here, he would definitely gather the whole village and hold a formal bonfire party for them.
Hearing this, Su Chengyi was inexplicably glad that the village chief happened to be away. He raised his hand and poked a piece of beef into his mouth. He happened to see Gyatso coming over with a wine bottle, and asked:
"Is it expensive to have such a big table of meat? ”
Gyatso held the wine bottle and seemed to find it difficult to understand his question.
"What do you mean?"
"That is to say, um, will it cost too much?"
Su Chengyi thought for a while and tried to use tactful words.
"Beef?"
Gyatso put the wine bottle on the edge of the table with great effort, frowned, and tried his best to understand the meaning of his question.
"No."
After a while, he shook his head and continued:
"My family has more than a hundred cows."
"."
"There are also sheep."
"."
Su Chengyi was silent for a long time, then forked another piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.
Good guy, he was also the one who took offense.
Being in the north, just because I live in a remote area, it doesn’t mean that my family is poor! ! !
Gyatso looked at him inexplicably, picked up the wine bottle again, and filled up the wine glass next to him.
Su Chengyi recovered from the shock of "cow and sheep" and discovered that the wine glass Gyatso added wine to belonged to Chen Jinzhi.
“Huh?”
He turned his head in shock.
Chen Jinzhi, who was silent just now, actually drank the whole glass of wine to the bottom.
According to etiquette, the guest's wine glass cannot be left empty, so Gyatso specially came over to refill the wine bottle with the wine bottle in hand.
"Are you okay?"
Su Chengyi raised his hand to drive Gyatso away who had completed the task of adding wine, moved closer, and asked in a low voice.
Chen Jinzhi nodded as usual and replied:
"It's okay."
But Su Chengyi was keenly aware that something was wrong with this person.
It's very simple, just look at your eyes.
When Chen Jinzhi was completely conscious, his eyes must be strategizing and bottomless.
It should not be said, but it gives people a feeling of "the water in Peach Blossom Pond is a thousand feet deep".
Not now. There was a vague mist in her peach blossom eyes, but she was still smiling.
But
Su Chengyi thought about how to describe it, but couldn't find the right words for a while.
If I had to say it, it would be as if she would kiss him in front of everyone in the next second.
A little scared, but also inexplicably looking forward to it?
“.”
Su Chengyi gave up some of the thoughts in her heart that she shouldn’t have, and raised her hand to hold her wrist, preventing the little fox next to her from trying to steal the wine again. .
"You can't drink anymore."
"Why?"
Chen Jinzhi blinked and asked in confusion:
"You just said, this wine The alcohol content is not high.”
“That’s not high for me. For someone like you who doesn’t drink alcohol, it’s not high.”
Su Chengyi sighed softly and looked around at the progress of the banquet.
Probably because Gyatso had vaccinated his mother in advance, although everyone was enthusiastic, they did not continue to guide them through the process. The atmosphere of the banquet was very light and relaxed.
This is a good opportunity to sneak out.
Su Chengyi made up his mind, spoke to Zhuoma who was clapping and singing next to him, then pulled Chen Jinzhi, who was still staring at the glass of wine evilly, up and walked out from the side door.
Actually, I felt a little regretful the moment I went out.
Because the temperature difference between day and night is quite large, the oncoming night wind can be described as biting.
Su Chengyi coughed, took off her coat and put it on Chen Jinzhi. She raised her hand to smooth her wind-blown forehead.
“Are you going back?”
“No.”
Chen Jinzhi refused simply. This was also one of the signs that she was drunk, because she was usually very Use less absolute words.
"What should we do then?"
Su Chengyi was a little funny, putting a hand on her waist, waiting for her answer.
“Don’t do anything, just walk with me.”
Chen Jinzhi rubbed his shoulder and raised his head.
“You won’t get lost, I’m very familiar with this area.”
"Why are you familiar?"
Su Chengyi followed her wishes and led her out.
The weather is sunny today, so the moonlight is also very good. You don’t even need to use your mobile phone to use a flashlight while walking on the road.
“Because it’s a filming location, I’ve basically walked through the area. Director Caroline is a real person. She has to experience every shot and angle. "
Chen Jinzhi lowered his head and looked at the footprints he left on the sand.
Su Chengyi said "hmm" and looked up at the seemingly endless desert ahead.
Under the moonlight, there is a vast expanse of land, like snow.
“As a travel choice, this place seems pretty good.”
Su Chengyi looked at the crescent moon and said slowly.
Indeed.
Too many so-called "popular attractions" today have too many traces of development. It seems that no matter where you go, you will see the same scenery, visit the same commercial streets, and then be ripped off by scammers with the same tricks in the same place. One stroke.
Unlike here, with truly primitive and natural customs.
However, once the show is finished, I’m afraid it will be ruined by the fans who came to check in.
So, the current scenery may also be called "out of print".
With such a mood, Su Chengyi's mood of admiring this scene became a little more complicated.
"For me, filming this movie is like traveling."
Chen Jinzhi's face was dyed with a cold brilliance by the moonlight. She sighed softly, with a hint of alcohol in her eyes. It made her look less cold and distant.
"Why travel?"
Su Chengyi thought about the daily life of this devilish crew and felt that it was more like a "prison disaster" than a trip.
I believe that the vast majority of the crew will agree with his statement.
"Hmm, I don't know."
Chen Jinzhi suddenly laughed. She was probably drunk, and there was a rare hint of coquettishness in her tone of voice.
I want to be cute and pass the test.
Su Chengyi raised the corner of his mouth, and for a moment he didn't want to ask any more questions.
It turns out that her tricks are very effective.
"Dolma said that you also sang a song for her when you sent her home. What did you sing?"
Thinking of this, Su Chengyi couldn't help but ask.
Chen Jinzhi looked intently at the shadows of the two people stretched by the moonlight, and said "hmm", seeming to think hard about what song it was.
But apparently the intersecting shadows and the same night road made her memory recall of that night successful.
“What I sing is."The Meaning of Travel"."
