Chapter 73 Guozhuang
The lama wrapped the puppy in the torn monk's robe.
Then, he dipped his hand in the cold lake water and slid it against Hu Li's eyebrows.
Then there’s the puppy’s brow.
Then, there are Lu Yao's eyebrows, Xu Ruochu's eyebrows, and Luo Dan who has his hands clasped together with great piety.
Finally, he took off the beads on his wrist.
There are two strings in total, one for each hand.
He looked at the puppy, smiled and put the beads on Hu Li's hand.
The second string stretched towards Lu Yao.
Lu Yao was stunned.
He grabbed his hand and personally put this bracelet made of unknown material on his wrist.
Then, he hesitated slightly, but immediately took off the string of one hundred and eight rosary beads hanging on his chest and hung them on Xu Ruochu himself.
He turned around and said something to Luo Dan, then smiled and shook the prayer wheel and continued to walk away.
Slowly walking, but extremely determined.
"This is the master's blessing to you both. The snow-capped mountains will protect you, and I hope you can come back often."
Inexplicably, Luodan looked at the expressions of the three of them and became closer.
"Uh..."
Lu Yao subconsciously looked at Xu Ruochu.
With a string of rosary beads on her chest, she had a blank look on her face for a moment.
"..."
"..."
"..."
The two of them were silent, except Hu Li, holding the puppy in his arms, with a complicated look on his face that was a mixture of comfort and reluctance to leave.
……
There were four people in the car.
When I returned, there was an extra dog.
The puppy was huddled in Hu Li's arms, not making any fuss, and sleeping soundly.
On the way back, Xu Ruochu asked Luo Dan about the guru and wanted to know which temple he was in and whether he accepted donations.
If accepted, she could make a donation.
But Rodan shook his head.
Because he doesn't know either.
There are countless lakes in southern Tibet, large and small, and Tibetans believe that gods live in every lake.
It is not uncommon for monks or believers to travel around mountains and lakes to cultivate good fortune and virtue.
And this master has no intention of introducing himself. Maybe he comes to this lake every day, or maybe he just passes by occasionally...
No one can tell.
But Luo Dan summed it up well:
"If we are destined, we will definitely meet again."
Back at the guest house in Shigatse, when Luo Dan left, he put his hands together and saluted the three of them:
"Miss Xu, Miss Hu, Brother Lu, you are all destined, the snowy mountains will bless you, Tashi Delek."
He walked very freely.
After Lu Yao waved goodbye to him, his eyes turned to the dog who was still sleeping.
"Sister Li, let me look for a pet store?"
"Yeah. Go look for it. If you don't have it, you can also buy diaper pads and the like for children at a maternal and child product store... Milk powder and bottles should use goat milk powder."
Along the way, Hu Li seemed to have finally gotten rid of the burden in her heart.
Although he still didn't say much, his expression gradually became brighter.
Lu Yao nodded, took the car keys and left directly.
After he left, Hu Li hugged the sleeping dog and said to Xu Ruochu:
"I decided to call it Xiaobu."
When she spoke, her eyes were full of tenderness.
"It sounds great."
Xu Ruochu's expression was equally gentle and he rubbed Xiaobu's head:
"It must have been brought by Bubu to protect you, so...you should be happy, Miss Li."
"...Hmm!"
Hu Li nodded and looked down at the sleeping Xiaobu with an extremely gentle expression.
……
Lu Yao actually found a clinic run by a veterinarian, and it also had some pet supplies.
Although not complete, it is enough for emergencies.
After buying some, he returned to the guest house.
Only then did they realize that Hu Li and Xu Ruochu had already packed their things.
This is the time to go...
Lu Yaoxin said that this business trip was too short.
But what Xu Ruochu said next made him confused:
"Lu Yao, do you have any problem driving long distances?"
"...Huh?"
Lu Yao was confused, and Hu Li, who was boiling water for Xiaobu to make milk, said:
"We plan to drive back by ourselves. What do you think of traveling across China?"
"..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
Looking at Haihou, whose expression suddenly became brighter.
My heart says you are really my father.
If you say wind is wind, if you say rain it is rain?
He said subconsciously:
"The long distance is no problem, it's just...our equipment is needed to get in and out of hiding..."
"Don't worry about the equipment. I'll let Yu Tan prepare it. The three of us will switch to driving and travel by car... Xiaochu said before that you said you still wanted to travel during the summer vacation. Let's not be in a hurry this time. Let's go slowly. Why? How about driving and looking at the scenery along the way? ”
"..."
Seeing her bright expression, Lu Yao subconsciously turned to look at Xu Ruochu.
She's crazy...are you crazy too?
The female president nodded:
"We are just worried about whether you will be unable to bear it..."
have to.
Even you are crazy, right?
OK OK.
Then stop living!
"I'm fine. When I was sixteen, I followed my dad all over the country during the summer vacation. I still drove a big car... this dog..."
"It's called Xiaobu!"
"Uh... Xiaobu, is it okay?"
"There is a pet hospital over there in LS. Let's take him there to check his body first. If there is no problem, we will prepare all the necessary things."
"The business in Magic City...Okay."
Looking at the sea, Lu Yao suddenly started to stare, Lu Yao said heartily.
These are really two dads.
"When are you leaving?"
"Have a good rest tonight and set off early tomorrow morning!"
"Leaving Tibet and entering Sichuan?"
"There is nothing to see in the south. Let's take the Qinghai-Tibet line, Qinghai, Gansu, Inner Mongolia..."
Lu Yaoxin said it.
This is the rhythm of traveling around the north.
It's over.
It's all over.
……
"Hey, Mom. My boss is going on a self-driving trip..."
This was the first sentence Lu Yao said when he called his mother at night.
Ms. Chen was also confused.
Especially when I heard that my son was going to drive from Northeast China to Inner Mongolia, and finally to Qinghai, Sichuan and Chongqing...
How tiring is this?
However, after Lu Yuanshan, who was returning home from get off work, heard this, he directly picked up the phone and asked:
"Aren't you going to Southern Tibet?"
"Uh... I'm not going."
"Well, it's okay if you don't go. The road over there is too difficult. It doesn't matter if you go to other places. Everywhere you go now is on the highway. But... you have to be careful when driving and don't get tired..."
He resumed his experience as a long-distance truck driver.
Then he asked Lu Yao and the others.
When he learned that his boss had pulled five or six cars and formed a convoy, Lu Yao heard his mother's muttering:
"Yaoyao's boss... didn't see it. Is he so crazy?"
Lu Yaoxin said, Mom, please see clearly.
It’s not that my boss is crazy.
It's my boss and her best friend who is crazy.
Completely crazy.
And, the most important thing is...my boss is really a perfect travel partner.
When her best friend said it was windy, she made it rain.
The two of them working together is a match made in heaven.
And who was the one who got caught up in the whim of the two?
Isn’t it just me, a hard-working migrant worker?
In short...his "self-driving trip" was approved by both of them.
Because according to Lu Yao's thoughts, Lu Yuanshan has his own judgment.
First of all, if there is a convoy, safety on the highway will be much improved. Secondly, if there is a fleet, the son will definitely not be driving all the time. If there is a shift, there will be no fatigue driving.
The premise is that you don't speed...but rich people cherish their lives.
I just come out to play, there should be nothing else...
So I agreed.
Indeed, after my son takes the college entrance examination, he always wants to go out and have some fun.
As for luggage and a change of clothes, it’s actually not bad.
The couple gave their son 10,000 yuan and asked him to buy and replenish it at any time.
The matter was settled like that.
So, after hanging up the phone, Lu Yao quickly took a shower and rested. After sleeping for more than 10 hours, when he got up in the morning, Xu Ruochu and Hu Li also got up.
After everyone went downstairs, they saw Yutan standing next to a Land Cruiser.
This car... must be enough.
Mountains are mountains and rivers are rivers. The off-road brother only drives the Cruiser.
"You guys...really."
Yutan seemed speechless and started shaking his head after seeing the three people.
Hu Li, who was holding Xiaobu, said with a smile:
"Let's go, together?"
"Forget it." Yutan rolled his eyes:
"Are you in a good mood now?... Come on, Xiaolu, come here and let me tell you how to use these things."
He opened the trunk directly.
The trunk is not full, but it has a military style.
"This is the sleeping bag we use. It is very warm... This is the engineer shovel... This is the escape board... This is canned food and individual soldier rations..."
Although there were many kinds of things, Lu Yao estimated that the cans and sleeping bags alone would be enough for the three of them to survive in the wild for more than ten days.
After all, there is even half a box of compressed biscuits...
After explaining the contents of the trunk, he showed Lu Yao how to use the front traction winch, including how to operate the car's off-road mode, etc.
After making sure that Lu Yao had done everything correctly, he said to Xu Ruochu:
"I have sent you the phone numbers of some friends along the road. If you encounter any problems, just call them directly."
"Okay."
"Well... have a nice trip."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Youtan smiled and hugged the two of them, and then realized that Xiao Bu:
"Where did this dog come from?"
"It's Xiao Bu! Hehe..."
Hu Li smiled happily.
Afterwards, everyone waved goodbye, Lu Yao drove Land Patrol, navigated to LS, and started heading towards the destination.
The road conditions from Shigatse to Lhasa were pretty good, but when I saw the service area sign, the phone of the co-pilot Xu Ruochu rang.
"Hello, are you here?"
"...Okay, we are almost there. I will ask Lu Yao to pick you up directly at the airport."
"Yeah."
After hanging up the phone, she said to Lu Yao:
"Let's go to the airport. Ruochen is here too."
Lu Yao was stunned:
"He...is with us?"
"Yeah."
Xu Ruochu nodded:
"He has been holding back his senior year of high school for a year. When he heard that we were going to drive by ourselves, he came directly. He can also drive for you, so you don't have to work so hard."
"Okay."
Lu Yao responded.
To be honest, he thinks Xu Ruochu is quite good.
You can see it just by putting a suit on the little girl.
Just after agreeing, Hu Li, who had been sleeping all the way behind, suddenly reached out and put his hand on his shoulder and squeezed:
"Thank you for your hard work, let me rub it for you~"
Lu Yao subconsciously got goosebumps.
……
At almost 12 noon, he met Xu Ruochen at the airport exit, who was also dragging a suitcase.
"Sister, Sister Xiaoli."
"Well, let's get in the car."
After hearing Xu Ruochu's words, Xu Ruochen was not in a hurry, but looked at Lu Yao who was driving:
"Lu Yao, come down and help me unload my luggage."
"...Move it yourself, why bother Lu Yao?"
These are Hu Li's words.
However, Lu Yao didn't think much and got out of the car directly. When he was about to open the trunk behind the car, he heard Xu Ruochen whisper:
"Hurry up and have a cigarette."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
I finally understand what this guy means.
So, I opened the trunk first, watched him move his luggage, and then lit a cigarette.
He also blew a puff of smoke in his direction.
Xu Ruochen not only didn't feel disgusted, but showed a down-to-earth expression.
After closing the trunk door, he whispered:
"This time...you go to the service area more diligently, and we will cover each other."
"...Can you just say no?"
"How much hatred do we have? Do you want me to die?"
"..."
OK.
After Momo labeled him a coward in her heart, she saw this guy suddenly smiled a little cringily:
"I made an appointment with someone to take you to have an affair tonight."
"...?"
Lu Yao was stunned.
Then he pointed to his feet silently:
"Here?"
"Yes."
The shrinking look on Xu Ruochen's face turned into pride:
"Where in life do we not meet again."
"What are you two doing, hurry up and leave."
At this time, Hu Li stuck his head out and started urging.
Then he saw Lu Yao smoking a cigarette. He was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand:
"Smoke it."
After saying that, he opened the car door and stretched out after getting out of the car.
By the way, I raised my legs on the car and came up with a very difficult straight horse.
Show off your flexibility.
"Hey, let's find a place to go to Guozhuang tonight?"
She pressed her legs and was eager to try.
Xu Ruochen was a little confused:
"What is that?"
"Just a group of people dancing around, Tibetan dance, haven't you seen it?"
As she said this, she just picked up a performance without music...
This was the first time Lu Yao saw her dancing.
Not to mention...it's really pretty.
Even if it's just a casual dance... But as soon as the expert takes action, the charm will come out.
It's a pity...Xu Ruochen doesn't understand the style:
"If you don't go, I can't dance."
"It's okay if I teach you."
"I don't want to study. I'm not interested. I'm too lazy to go with you. I want to rest in the house at night...right, Lu Yao, are you tired too?"
"..."
Lu Yao's mouth twitched.
But before he spoke, Hu Li continued:
"Xu Ruochen, have you become brave recently? How dare you talk to me like this!?"
As he said that, he grabbed his ear directly:
"In the evening, follow my sister and I to dance Guozhuang Dance! Did you hear me!"
"Hey, it hurts, sister, let go, it hurts..."
He started wailing, but Hu Li ignored him at all. Instead, he lowered his voice and said:
"Don't think I didn't hear what you two said. I'm telling you, my sister has a sharp ear! If you dare to teach Lu Yao a bad way, I'll kill you!"
"..."
"..."
This time, Lu Yao's face turned green.
No...have you heard this too?
He obviously doesn't have a loud voice.
"What are you talking about?"
With the sound of the car door, Xu Ruochu also got out of the passenger seat.
Hu Li grinned:
"Hehe, it's okay~ We were talking about the evening activities... Let's find a big square and dance Guozhuang Dance? I've always wanted to really experience it. I think it will be fun."
"Guozhuang Dance...what is it?"
Xu Ruochu obviously didn't know either.
That's a good feeling.
Don’t know what to do?
Let’s learn.
So, with Xu Ruochen's face ashen, Lu Yao got into the car covered in smoke, perfectly covering up the smell of smoke on Mr. Xu's body.
The car drove towards the LS city.
At Hu Li's suggestion, everyone did not stay in a hotel, but instead found a very atmospheric B&B.
After settling in, we headed directly to the Potala Palace.
I also found a tour guide.
In fact, Lu Yao had been to the Potala Palace many times in his previous life, so it was not unusual.
However...he discovered a different side of Xu Ruochen.
When the tour guide introduced that the outer walls of the Potala Palace were painted with milk, honey and sugar, he whispered:
"How many people have been exploited..."
Lu Yao paused for a moment.
Then he smiled slightly.
Sure enough, this guy... is a wonderful person.
After coming out of the Potala Palace, everyone walked around the pedestrian street with various local products, and everyone prayed at the row of prayer wheels.
Lu Yao's wish is simple, that is, for his family to be healthy and safe.
For him, that's enough.
The rest...it's up to him to struggle.
On the contrary, it was Xu Ruochu and Hu Li.
Lu Yao didn't know whether the two of them had faith, but at this moment, their expressions were exactly the same as piety.
Hu Li followed Xu Ruochu's example and put the bracelets given by the lama in his hands, clasping his hands together and praying in front of the prayer wheel.
At this moment, even Xiaobu in her arms seemed particularly quiet.
Xu Ruochen, on the other hand, looked at the beads on her sister, Sister Li, and Lu Yao's hands and tilted her head, with some curiosity in her eyes.
Forget about my sister...the bracelets in the hands of Sister Li and Lu Yao...why do they look like couple's bracelets?
But he didn't ask, or he didn't care at all.
Finally, everyone else finished praying, and Hu Li was the only one left.
She clasped her hands and closed her eyes in prayer.
Lu Yao doesn't know what she is praying for...
But he believed it.
The other party will definitely hear it.
The reason is nothing else.
Just because... this is the closest place to heaven.
