It's already dark, and it's extremely cold in Tibet in winter.
Wenwen is as vigorous as flying, running among grasslands, rivers, woods, hillsides and cliffs, like an elf in the night.
He managed the entire operation with ease without suffering any damage, which can be said to be a perfect completion of the wilderness survival mission.
Standing on the top of a cliff, he looked at the vast land. In his young spiritual world, his mood suddenly became extremely calm, without joy or sorrow.
There is no joy, anger, sorrow or joy on his face, his heart is as calm as water, and his spirit is calm and unruffled.
Melanin looked at his son who seemed to have matured a lot. The previous excitement was gone, replaced by an indifferent and calm attitude towards everything.
In a daze, she found that her son's whole person had undergone a fundamental change. She couldn't tell what kind of emotion it was. In short, she couldn't understand it.
In her mind, a child over 3 years old should not have such an expression.
"Mommy, let's go to the west as our next stop. There seems to be something attracting me there." Wenwen pointed in the direction of Lanka.
Hearing her son's familiar voice, Melanin finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that her thoughts were still wandering.
"We were originally going this way, but we still have to go exploring in the middle, which may delay us for a few days."
"It's okay, I also want to see what Snow Lotus looks like."
"Okay, mommy will take you to the snowy mountains of the Grand Canyon to pick snow lotus and give it to your dad, okay?"
"Yes, this is a planned task for tomorrow. It must be completed. Take it off and put it in the refrigerator. When you get back, give it to Dad to make pills."
"Okay, mommy listens to you."
"I'll drive a little way first and then rest."
…
Earth's ephemeris, February 6, 2110, noon.
On a snowy mountain peak, after nearly half a day of searching, the mother and son relied on intuition and extraordinary vision to finally discover the snow lotus, hidden in a mountain cliff sheltered from the wind.
On the top of this relatively wide and long cliff, there is a white and yellow snow lotus bush growing on the surface of the soil in the depression.
Snow lotus, also known as three-fingered snow rabbit, is produced on mountain cliffs above 4,300 meters above sea level.
Snow lotus grows with the aura of heaven and earth, absorbs the essence of the sun and moon in the snowy holy land, and blossoms. Its beauty is natural. It is a rare and rare medicinal material in the world.
It has unique effects and is the best medicine in the snowy holy land.
The mother and son were lucky. It is rare to see wild snow lotus in such a large number.
Because of its special location, the gaps in the cliff are narrow, long and deep, and there are even several eagle nests built there, which provide fertilizer for the growth of snow lotuses.
Without anyone picking it for many years, it has developed a tendency of growing on its own and expanding repeatedly, almost filling the entire depression with soil.
As a perennial plant, snow lotus has inconsistent growth cycles under the influence of alpine climate.
Some are still blooming, and some have already produced oblong achenes.
Wenwen was very excited when she thought that the gift for her father had been found. Under her mother's guidance, she enthusiastically and carefully dug out more than a dozen old plants with flowers and fruits, and packed them with the soil into the alloy box her mother carried. Save in.
At her mother's suggestion, Wenwen collected all the remaining seeds of the snow lotus without over-picking, and basically maintained sustainable growth.
This snow-capped mountain peak is steep on all sides, making it difficult for ordinary people to climb, creating this primitive snow lotus bush.
Mei Lanyin took out his satellite phone and conducted satellite positioning of the place so that he could pick at any time if needed in the future.
In several eagle nests, you can still hear the cry of young eaglets. Two female eagles stuck their heads out, stared at the two people, and gave a warning call.
Regarding these friendly neighbors of Snow Lotus, the mother and son did not want to disturb their world, so they turned around and left.
Return to the ground and secure the box to the roof of the car to maintain a moderate temperature.
After being busy for a long time, both mother and son were a little hungry, so they hurried down the mountain to fill their stomachs.
…
The southern Tibetan valley is home to numerous tributaries with abundant water, wide rivers and deep water, providing favorable conditions for plateau shipping.
The Bujiang River passes through the mountains and suddenly turns south, forming the famous Grand Canyon at the big bend.
The river surface here is narrow, the river bed is dotted with beaches and reefs, the water flow is fast and the waves are high, and the sound is rumbling, which is spectacular.
During this trip, Mei Lanyin, mother and son, wanted to experience the arduous training while exploring the hidden depths of the Grand Canyon and the magnificent scenery of the original ecology.
According to the existing information, nature's unique ingenuity has created many paradises in the cold snowy mountains.
For example, deep in a certain canyon, there are a small number of Ba and Luo people living. Due to environmental restrictions, their production methods are relatively backward and their lifestyles are relatively monotonous.
There are many dangerous roads that can be penetrated deep into the dense forests and snow-capped mountains of the mountains.
If you can go through all the hardships and experience a "purgatory" experience, you can see the unparalleled majesty of the Grand Canyon and the special ethnic customs.
The mother and son are not afraid of the dangerous mountains and waters of the Grand Canyon. After two months of devilish training, Wenwen's body has already adapted to the severe hypothermia and hypoxia environment here.
In the evening, after driving on the rugged road for several hours, Wenwen drove the RV to the end of the road. In front of him were frozen lakes and capped mountains.
There are several Tibetan families living in this high and vast place close to mountains and rivers.
Considering the alloy box containing the snow lotus, Mei Lanyin took the initiative to communicate with a house with a wider site, paid a storage fee, and parked the car within the wall of his house.
Seeing his generous spending, the hospitable Tibetans did not hesitate to bring out their own beef and rabbit meat, as well as fine wine and milk tea to entertain the two distinguished guests who were traveling long distances.
The mother and son quickly expressed their gratitude in the local language: "Tochena!"
The other party saluted: "Tashi Deliqin!"
After some preparations, the host and guest sat on the floor and saluted each other.
The other party seems to often receive adventure travelers, and he knows some Chinese conversation, which avoids the embarrassment of language barriers between them.
There are 5 people in this family, 2 adults, 3 children aged about 10 to 20 years old, 2 boys and 1 girl. They are really a happy family.
The male head of the family poured highland barley wine for Mei Lanyin and said, "Xiabu da!" which means cheers in Chinese.
Drinking highland barley wine is an important way of hospitality for Tibetan children, especially the custom of "three sips and one cup".
When the guest takes a sip, the host will refill the wine glass for you to take another sip, then refill the wine glass for the guest to take a third sip, and finally fill the glass and drink it dry.
When a guest says "Xiabuda" and drinks the wine in one gulp, Tibetan people will think that the guest is a bold and tough guy or a "female man".
Melanin knew a little about etiquette. After taking the wine glass and performing the etiquette, he drank it down his throat suddenly: "Sip!"
Families on both sides clapped: "Tashi Deloitte!"
Because Wenwen was a child, the other party did not pour him wine and let him sit and drink milk tea with the youngest daughter in the family.
Wenwen was not polite, he just grabbed the beef and mutton and stuffed it into his mouth. It was important to fill his stomach.
The youngest daughter of this family is studying in a primary school dozens of miles away, and it is now the time for winter vacation.
She and her two brothers are both educated, and the brother serves as the translator for elder exchanges between the two sides. She and Wenwen communicate smoothly in Chinese and discuss learning issues with each other.
Wenwen is over 3 years old. Although she has never been to school, she has basically mastered all the elementary school curriculum knowledge under her mother's daily teaching.
She has no stage fright about the basics of elementary school. She always answers all questions. The breadth and depth of her knowledge are definitely not comparable to that of the little girl next to her.
Wenwen has rarely interacted with outsiders since he was a child, especially the lack of playmates of the same age, which made him almost forget his age and forget about the fun and play among his friends.
The wariness and vigilance were gone, and the mind was completely relaxed. The childish innocence that was still intact was brought up from the depths of my heart, and I had a free and easy hip-hop with this young lady who was more than 6 years older than me.
The two children were chatting happily.
Wenwen kept chewing in his mouth while exchanging learning experiences with the young lady.
He guided her on the topics she didn’t understand during her winter vacation homework, just like a little teacher.
The other party had no idea how old this little guy was, and thought he was a primary school student who loved learning and had excellent grades.
The other person didn't pay much attention to him. Mei Lanyin glanced here occasionally and felt sour in his heart when he saw his son's excited and enthusiastic look.
I felt that I was a little too cruel, exposing him to this cruel social reality too early, which wiped out an innocent and romantic childlike heart, and I almost shed tears.
Fortunately, the Zang family was enthusiastic and had enough food, so the other party didn't pay attention to Wenwen's diet, otherwise his appetite would definitely surprise them.
Mei Lanyin was relatively more polite. While eating, he talked about what he had experienced in the mountains. He had a general understanding of where he wanted to go and was confident in his mind.
Due to her appearance, she only ate half full, but her alcohol intake was astonishing. With the help of the calories from the wine, she could barely fill her stomach.
After drinking and eating, the mother and son invited each other's family to visit the RV they drove there.
The other party often sees cars, which is not surprising, but it is rare to see a vehicle with such a spacious interior space. He admires the magic of modern industry and can travel across mountains and ridges without using legs.
Melan knew that the other party was not interested in food, so he found a few small modern high-end electrical appliances and gave them to the family as payment for dinner.
Seeing that the gift was not very big, the other party was influenced by Melanin's generosity and accepted the gift without any courtesy.
Wenwen took the little sister to play in the car, introduced her to the uses of various electrical appliances in the car, and demonstrated their functions. The two children got along extremely well.
Afterwards, Wenwen got out of the car and taught the young lady to practice "balanced gymnastics" and told her that if she learned it well, it would be very helpful for physical exercise.
The two children lost track of time, and it was not until their parents called that the little sister reluctantly went back to her room to sleep.
That night, to avoid arousing suspicion among the Tibetan family, the mother and son slept in the car.
Late at night, Mei Lanyin got out of the car quietly and set up a simple alarm device at the entrance of the village. He still chose a sheltered cave, got into his sleeping bag and fell asleep.
During this period, it may be due to the dual influence of the severe cold weather and hypoxic environment, or it may be that the enemy gave up the idea of hunting for revenge. Mei Lanyin and her son did not encounter opponents from different camps such as vampires, Gu masters, and mercenaries. The attack finally calmed down for a while, allowing her to train her son with peace of mind and continuously improve her physical fitness and skills.
However, the more peaceful the life and the calm environment, the less she dared to take it lightly.
Except for taking a break while her son was driving, she always maintained a strong or weak vigilance during the rest of the time, for fear that unexpected dangers would suddenly come and she would be caught off guard, suffer a fatal blow, and end her lifelong hope.
Navigate the ship with caution, this is the code of conduct she adheres to.
Tonight is no exception.
