Chapter 108 Growth
Xiaobu is actually not the kind of dog that particularly likes to bark.
It barks rarely.
Unless you hear the "wolf howl" sound from other dogs, you will instinctively follow it.
The first time Hu Li learned about its "wolf howl" was when he heard a husky howl in the city, and it followed him.
And usually, it is also very sensible.
With little training, Hu Li has gradually learned not to go to the toilet at will at home.
Anyone who has ever raised a dog knows that this kind of dog is indeed very worry-free and does not smell bad at home... But similarly, dog owners cannot be lazy.
Three or even four trips a day are the most basic operations.
Especially in the morning, you can't sleep in late.
Hu Li's work and rest schedule is quite regular. She gets up at six or seven o'clock, does morning exercises, eats breakfast, and starts a full day of energy.
But that's normal.
Today she... woke up late.
In fact, it wasn't that she got up late. She actually woke up around five o'clock, when it was just dawn.
On the one hand, the reason for waking up is the biological clock.
On the other hand, it was because... there was something... bad in her boyfriend's arms that made her feel comfortable all night long.
She realized vaguely.
Then this consciousness was like a virus, sweeping through the brain in an instant.
The sleepiness slipped away so inadvertently.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely get up. But...how to put it, once I got there, his arms felt really comfortable.
Not willing to leave at all.
Secondly... I don’t want to leave either.
As for the reason why she didn't want to leave, she wasn't aware of it.
Because there is some confusion in my mind.
Perhaps...the biggest reason is that I don't want to wake him up.
After all, he slept soundly, with his head on his back and his whole body in his arms.
I was even afraid of being cold at night, so I tucked myself in quilt several times.
She...likes this sense of security.
Until this light bulb appeared in front of my face.
Little Bu pulled the edge of the bed, wagging his tail, and looked at his master with an eager look on his face.
Especially after seeing its owner open his eyes, it shook even more.
It made that snorting sound, trying hard to suppress its roaring instinct, and at the same time, it reminded its owner: it's time to shovel shit.
Hu Li was speechless.
I pushed its paw away several times with the smallest movement, meaning: be quiet.
But everyone has three urgent needs, and dogs are more anxious than people.
Little Bu's tail was shaking and almost breaking.
Hu Lixin said, can't you hold it in for a while...I don't want to get up at the moment.
Didn't you pee last night? Why are you in such a hurry this morning?
I know you are in a hurry, but can you please stop being so anxious... Why is this dog so blind?
And at this moment... Lu Yao also heard this small movement, and he opened his eyes in a daze.
Opening his eyes, his body began to move.
Hu Li quickly closed her eyes and pretended to sleep like a frightened rabbit.
Then...
"Xiaobu, do you need to go to the toilet?"
After taking his numbed arms out from under his girlfriend's neck, he stood up and looked at the dog who was getting on the bed. After asking, his eyes fell on the profile of his sleeping girlfriend.
To be honest, he was a little reluctant to wake up.
Because... it's really comfortable to sleep with her.
She smells good.
But...cold is really cold.
Although he was not out of breath at this moment, he could immediately feel the temperature in the car after his upper body was exposed to the air.
I looked up at the thermometer and saw it was only 10 degrees.
I can’t do it if I don’t get up.
Although the fresh blood is still there, even... what he is most excited about now is to hold his girlfriend in his arms again and rub her ears together.
But...in the final analysis, reason still prevailed.
He climbed out of bed quietly, stepped over his girlfriend, and got out of bed.
Hu Li heard the sound of getting dressed.
Then I felt him tucking the quilt back in for me...
Then, the door opened.
The coldness came over me again.
But it quickly disappeared.
After more than ten seconds, the driver's door opened and the car restarted, followed by the sounds of various household appliances.
The beeping sound of the air conditioner, the beeping sound of the induction cooker, the movement of the coffee can opening...
Should I... open my eyes?
She was hesitating when she suddenly felt a gentle kiss on her cheek.
The toes hidden under the quilt could clench tightly.
But...this expectation was dashed.
Lu Yao saw how cute she was when she was sleeping, so he couldn't help but kiss her.
Then went to prepare breakfast.
Dogs have to eat, and people have to eat too.
I ate noodles last night, so I have to get some rice this morning.
Not to mention, although my girlfriend had a very confused time during this camping trip, her basic qualities were still there.
Rice cookers used for cooking rice are all high-pressure.
He cut potatoes, carrots, some sausages and luncheon meat, and put them into the pot with rice. After seasoning, turn on the switch...
At this time, Hu Li couldn't pretend anymore.
She glanced at Lu Yao secretly and stretched out her legs.
The flexible toes caught the jacket pants, and with a swish, they retracted into the quilt.
Then while Lu Yao turned around to cook rice, she had already put on her pants and got out of bed.
"Baby...morning."
She shouted softly with a slight blush on her face.
Lu Yao turned his head and saw that she had already put on her clothes, and subconsciously felt a little regretful. But he still smiled and said:
"Morning. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"...It's so noisy that I can't sleep."
"Okay... come and wash up."
"...Hmm."
Inexplicably, Hu Li didn't dare to look at him.
He quickly walked into the bathroom.
When we came out, the aroma of coffee was already filling the carriage.
"Have you washed up?"
"Not yet, right now...have you gone to the toilet?"
"Not yet...it doesn't matter. I'll just take care of the black water tank."
She took the initiative to take on the big responsibility.
Lu Yao didn't refute, but he felt it was more convenient for a man to do this job. But there is no point in arguing too much. He just pointed at the coffee cup:
"Wear my clothes and take a look outside. There will be a surprise."
"What?"
Hu Li was a little curious, put on Lu Yao's jacket, and opened the door.
cold.
But...she was immediately attracted by a magnificent natural landscape.
"That's..."
"The sun shines on Jinshan."
Looking at the golden light in the distance, although he didn't know what kind of snow mountain it was, Lu Yao, wearing thin clothes, stood behind his girlfriend and hugged her while saying:
"Is it beautiful?"
"So beautiful..."
Hu Li's face showed a hint of intoxication.
But he immediately reacted:
"Oops! Why did you come out?... Come on, come on, come in, come in, don't catch a cold!"
"Ha."
Lu Yao continued to hold her in his arms and complained:
"You still know that I can catch a cold? Whose little fool comes here without clothes? Huh? Tell me?"
"...hehe. Itchy."
The more she talked about itching and the more she hid, the more domineering Lu Yao became.
In the end, she could only half-lean in her boyfriend's arms, looking at the beautiful scenery in the distance, and feeling the goosebumps caused by the touch on her neck... one layer after another.
Eyes full of ecstasy.
The scenery is beautiful, and the people are even more beautiful.
It wasn't until Xiao Bu ran back in a hurry and started to circle around the two of them that the throbbing gradually disappeared.
Lu Yao, who was shivering from the cold, quickly got back into the car.
Seeing his embarrassed look, Hu Limei smiled happily, holding the warm coffee cup and taking a sip.
This morning...
She was extremely happy.
……
After the meal was done, the dog food was put out, and the two of them started eating.
At the dinner table, the two of them had a tacit understanding and did not mention anything about last night.
Hu Li was shy, but Lu Yao felt it was unnecessary.
When it came to things like men and women, he saw his girlfriend's tradition, so he chose to respect it.
While eating, the two made plans.
First go to Shigatse to buy some thick clothes such as a military coat, and then set off for Gangba. Go to Quden Nyima Glacier to see Bubu, find the master, and send over the highland barley noodles and butter you bought. If you don't see it, put it over there and pile it with rocks. Leave a note.
If that guru comes back, he will definitely be able to see it.
As for whether the other party understands Chinese...it's hard to say.
It depends on God’s will.
But if that guru just came here by fate and met him by chance, then... two small bags of highland barley, butter, and some fried noodles should be regarded as tribute to the snow mountain.
Thanks for bringing Xiaobu to us.
After discussing everything, the meal was finished.
This time, there was no need for Lu Yao. Hu Li took the initiative to put away the dishes.
Soon, after throwing all the garbage into the trash can on the observation deck, the RV started and the two of them ran towards Shigatse down the mountain.
When I arrived in Shigatse, I found a store and bought two thick military coats.
It's quite expensive...three hundred a piece without any counter-offer.
Then, the two found a car repair shop, told the boss about their itinerary, and left their phone numbers.
This was Lu Yao's initiative, because the tires of this RV were not off-road tires, and although the road to Gambana was not a bad road, he knew the road conditions in South Tibet. Those stones that have been weathered all year round are like blades. If you are not careful, the tires will be scrapped.
I left this phone number for my boss to come to my rescue.
As for the price... the boss also made it very clear that no matter what the problem is with the car, as long as it needs rescue, the price starts at 2,000. The two thousand dollars are rescue money.
How do you say this kind of thing... Don't think it's expensive, just be prepared.
Otherwise, Hu Li would have no choice but to call Yutan and ask him to bring an off-road vehicle over.
But this time she just wanted to quietly enjoy the world of two people with her boyfriend. Don't want anyone to bother me.
So, at around 9 a.m., the car drove in the direction of Gangba.
A little before noon, the car safely arrived at Dargotso where Bubu was buried.
The first thing Lu Yao did when he got out of the car was to check the tires.
OK, intact.
Then he had time to look around.
Hu Li had already passed by with a pocketful of Bubu's favorite toys.
There are many piles of Mani piles over there, which are easy to find.
And Xiaobu seemed to have gone home. He ran up the ridge and sat down looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.
Seeing this, Lu Yao took down all the things he bought for the guru and went to the shore of Dalguotso and started picking up stones.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Soon, he gathered stones into a pile, put the highland barley and fruits in plastic bags into a large woven bag, sealed it, and left a note.
Not long after, there was a small pile of rocks on the shore pressed by several large rocks.
"Baby, are you okay?"
Hu Li came back.
This time, she didn't see anything sad.
Lu Yao nodded, looked up, and said with some pity:
"I wonder if the master can receive it."
"It depends on fate."
Hu Li, who had put on the Bodhi string on his hand at some point, stood in front of the stone platform, facing the snow-capped mountains and clasping his hands together.
She closed her eyes, and after about a few seconds, she opened them again and pulled Lu Yao:
"Let's pray together."
"Okay."
He also clasped his hands and closed his eyes.
I hope my parents are in good health and that my sister will succeed in her studies.
As for myself...
He really didn't have any other thoughts.
But at this moment, suddenly, his arm was pulled by Hu Li, and his hand was directly held.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw my girlfriend’s other hand pointing at me:
"It's him! It's him! Hee hee, it's us!"
"...What are you doing?"
Lu Yao was a little puzzled.
But she ignored her boyfriend and shouted:
"We want to be together forever!!!!"
Now, Lu Yao knew what she was praying for...
Unfortunately, this is not a valley and there is no echo.
The sound soon disappeared in the wind.
However, he looked at his girlfriend with tender eyes.
I believe Snow Mountain will be able to hear it.
……
4pm.
The RV returned to Gamba.
This is still more than 400 kilometers away from LS.
Lu Yao asked her if she wanted to go back to LS.
But Hu Li still wanted to go to the observation deck where she stayed yesterday.
Because... she likes the endless beauty of the golden mountains illuminated by the sun in the early morning, and the stars at night.
OK.
Lu Yao drove back to Shigatse.
When we arrived, it was early 7 o'clock.
By the time the meal was finished and the two of them finished eating, it was already past 8 o'clock.
The sky became dark again.
Moreover, the weather today is indeed very good, there is no wind at all.
The two of them were finally able to move a chair, sit outside, huddle up in their military coats, and look up at the stars.
Shigatse is known as the City of Sunshine.
It's very sunny during the day, and the sun is glaring.
But the starry sky is especially bright at night.
It is so beautiful that it gives people a sense of tranquility approaching perfection.
It was as if speaking was a blasphemy against the starry sky.
So, neither of them spoke, they just held each other's hands and looked at each other quietly for a long time.
Until... Lu Yao yawned a few times.
"Are you sleepy?"
Hu Li asked.
Lu Yao nodded:
"Well, a little bit."
"Then let's go back and don't catch a cold."
"Okay, you go back first, and I'll let Xiaobu go to the toilet."
"Yeah."
The two of them worked separately. Lu Yao led Xiao Bu around the RV. After he was done with it, he heard the sound of rushing water as soon as he returned to the RV.
My girlfriend is taking a shower.
He didn't pay attention, but checked the battery power. After making sure everything was OK, he took the cigarette case and walked out.
I checked around the car again. When I finished smoking a cigarette and returned, Hu Li had already finished washing.
Drying hair in the kitchen.
"Baby, there is still half a tank of water. Can you wash it too?"
"Okay."
He was really feeling uncomfortable after not taking a shower for two days.
So I walked directly into the bathroom where the scent of shower gel was still wafting.
Hu Li had already got into the forehead bed, looking at him with a red face for some reason.
"What's wrong?"
"No...it's okay. Go back to bed quickly and don't catch a cold."
She said with a flushed face.
"I know."
Lu Yao smiled and shook his head, picked up the hair dryer and started to dry his hair.
At this time, the RV has enough power and the air conditioner will be on all night, so it will definitely not be cold.
And just after blow-drying his hair, he suddenly saw that Xiaobu's cage was closed.
"...Why did you lock it up?"
"It runs around at night."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, Lu Yao didn't think much and nodded:
"Turn off the lights?"
As he spoke, he looked at his girlfriend.
Want to say something.
But Hu Li's response was just to nod:
"...Hmm."
Seeing this, he felt a little regretful, but turned off the light anyway.
The RV was plunged into darkness.
He got into bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment... he saw his girlfriend's figure.
She was coming down from the forehead bed.
"What's wrong?"
he asked.
"...It's okay, drink water."
"I can just get it for you. Don't catch a cold."
Before he could finish speaking, Hu Li suddenly got into his bed.
"..."
Lu Yao was stunned and understood in his heart.
The so-called drinking water... is just an excuse.
He directly hugged his girlfriend into his arms and whispered:
"I'm still afraid...that you will refuse."
Hu Li turned around, buried her head in her boyfriend's arms and shook her head slightly:
"Miss you..."
Lu Yao lowered his head.
In the cage, Xiaobu's ears moved.
He raised his head.
But he soon lay down again.
He yawned lazily and closed his eyes.
But the whole RV was getting hot.
Amid the hot air from the air conditioner, at some point, a piece of clothing was thrown to the ground.
Lu Yao's deep voice sounded:
"Dabao, I..."
Hu Li interrupted him with a mosquito-like voice:
"Wait..."
"...Then let's sleep."
"No...I...I'm not very good at..."
Under the dim light, Lu Yao looked at his girlfriend who no longer dared to raise her head. When he heard these words, his heart completely heated up.
There is no such thing as an oath of love.
No need.
Because, in the round sky where the two of them are, the snow-capped mountains themselves are eternal witnesses.
Among the towering mountains, the city of sunlight is above.
In this dazzling galaxy that seems to have never changed, the two souls are completely intertwined with each other.
There were tears in the corners of Hu Li's eyes.
That is the mark of starting a new stage in life.
She longed for it.
Looking forward to it.
At the same time, happy.
Because, at this moment, she and the person she loves the most no longer know each other.
"Baby, I love you."
From liking it, she finally bravely expressed her deeper emotions.
And what responded to her was unparalleled tenderness.
This night, she and he both grew up.
