Several hours later, the bus finally arrived in Kangding. Kangding is located between the canyons of mountains on both sides, with an altitude of more than 2,200 meters. This does not cause any physical discomfort for Xiang Hui and his party.
As soon as we entered Kangding, a strong Tibetan atmosphere hit us.
Although Kangding is still in Sichuan Province, Tibetan compatriots here have already occupied a part of the population. Not only are there hotels, pharmacies, shops and restaurants opened by Tibetans, but the streets are also full of colorful flags, offering a welcome sight to those who are new to the area. Visitors add to a peaceful and festive atmosphere. Not only that, the ancient temples in the city also tell various legendary stories about Tibetan living Buddhas.
When there were still 5 kilometers away from Kangding, Fang Wenxin couldn't suppress her excitement and softly hummed "Kangding Love Song" on the bus.
"A slippery cloud on Paoma Liuliu's mountain shines brightly on the Liuliu city of Kangding. The moon is crescent, shining on the Liuliu city of Kangding..."
Fang Wenxin's voice was very sweet and melodious, and she seemed to be getting happier and more excited the more she hummed. So as soon as the car arrived at the station, Fang Wenxin put her luggage in Zhantian's hands and immediately started to cheer for joy. I jumped out of the car and asked people nearby about Kangding’s famous Paoma Mountain.
After only a moment, Fang Wenxin ran back with excitement, and shouted happily to Zhan Yitian and Xiang Hui who were carrying heavy luggage behind them: "I heard that Paoma Mountain is only 5 kilometers away from here. But after dinner, let’s go hang out there!”
"Let's go for a stroll, right? You can put your bag on your back and we'll go for a stroll!" Zhan Tiantian curled his lips when he heard this.
When they were in the car just now, Fang Wenxin and Zhou Zichen had already discussed that all their luggage would be carried by Zhan Yitian and Xiang Hui from now on. They said that since they were athletes, they could share the burden for them. Bearing weights not only exercises the body, but also fulfills the previous promise of taking care of them. This can be regarded as the best of both worlds.
Only Xiang Hui willingly agreed to this almost rogue request. Although Zhan Yitian had no problem with putting in the effort, he was very dissatisfied when they saw that they were completely empty-handed and treated him and Xiang Hui as servants.
"We agreed that you have to take care of my sister. Look at how good Xiang Hui is. He has no regrets and is very happy. He is your teacher. You have to learn from him in this regard!" Fang Wenxin After hearing what Daozhan said for a day, he said it with a shy face and a coquettish tone.
Zhan Yitian couldn't help but sweat on his forehead!
Looking again, Xiang Hui, whose chest, back, neck and hands were all occupied with luggage, actually smiled so much that his eyes narrowed to a slit because of Fang Wenxin's words. Zhan Yitian was really speechless this time.
"Oh, this Hui is really cheap, but..." Zhan Tiantian cursed secretly in his heart, but he could only swallow his anger. After all, he was the first to be cheap.
"Let's go, let's go to the restaurant in front and fill our belly first! Zhan Tiantian, men should do more for women, not to mention you and I are not ordinary men, aren't we? Haha!!" Xiang Hui was at this time He even happily persuaded Zhan Yitian.
What Zhan Yitian didn't understand was that Xiang Hui seemed to be holding Zhou Zichen's backpack clumsily and laboriously with his neck, but in his heart he was as full of power as if he was holding Zhou Zichen in his arms!
"May all of you, in all your lives, never develop greed, hatred, or resentment... May you all be free from such thoughts."
Zhan Yitian watched Fang Wenxin and Zhou Zichen lead the way happily holding hands, and he couldn't help but recited the "Awakening Heart Sutra" silently in his heart, and immediately walked away.
This is a Tibetan restaurant. The store is not large, but the interior and exterior of the store are decorated with full Tibetan flavor. The outer wall of the store is painted with Tibetan patterns, and the colors are bright and eye-catching.
There are thangkas, prayer flags and a big bull head hanging in the store. The shop owner was dressed in Tibetan clothes but spoke good Mandarin. Since there was no language barrier, the four of them quickly ordered a Tibetan lunch after looking at the menu.
Tsampa, potato curry rice and a portion of yak meat with sauce. Before the meal, the boss also provided butter tea for free.
Since the four of them were rushing to catch the bus in the morning, they didn't have breakfast. Drinking the hot butter tea at this time, they really felt that the energy brought by the butter tea after entering the stomach greatly relieved the hunger in the stomach.
Perhaps because they were really hungry, as soon as the main meal came, Fang Wenxin and Zhou Zichen completely ignored their ladylike image and took big gulps of potato curry rice. They drank a sip of butter tea while eating, and they ate with gusto.
Xiang Hui took a piece of tsampa and took two mouthfuls of it. He almost spit out the tsampa that he had not yet swallowed. Finally, with the help of butter tea, it passed into the esophagus.
"Ahem...this tsampa actually tastes pretty good, but you have to eat it slowly!" Xiang Hui reminded everyone after finally swallowing the tsampa.
"Oh? It looks like it tastes terrible to you. Since you said it's not bad, let's all try a little!" Fang Wenxin watched Xiang Hui sweating profusely after swallowing the tsampa, and hesitated for a while before deciding. He stretched out his hand and twisted it a little.
After Zhan Tian had a cup of butter tea, he was almost full. He didn't want to eat more, but after hearing what Xiang Hui and Fang Wenxin said, he couldn't help but take a piece to taste after Zhou Zichen took it. got up.
"Hmm... a crispy aroma with a hint of sweetness, it's really good!" Unexpectedly, even the picky Zhou Zichen actually praised it after tasting it.
"This tsampa tastes good and is rich in calories. We'd better bring some more before we go on the road." Zhan Tiantian took a bite, but found that the tsampa contained a huge caloric value. He thought that the journey ahead would be even more difficult. , so he spoke with suggestions.
"Well, that's a good idea. The boss will give me four more portions of tsampa, and we can eat them on the way!" Xiang Hui nodded and shouted as soon as he heard Zhan Yitian's proposal.
"Okay!" The boss responded happily, but this time no one objected.
Because the restaurant owner was very enthusiastic, after lunch, Xiang Hui directly asked the owner how to get to Paoma Mountain.
To the great surprise of Xiang Hui and others, the boss not only contacted the vehicle to visit Paoma Mountain, but the driver who came over also agreed immediately after learning that Xiang Hui and others were going to Xinduqiao.
In this way, with the best of both worlds, Xiang Hui and his party set out on the road happily.
It was only when an hour later, a jeep carrying Xiang Hui and four others passed through Kangding City again and drove westward again, that the two goddesses' waning expressions gradually became soothed.
It turns out that the place where the song "Kangding Love Song" was sung was not as beautiful and pleasant as I imagined.
Not only is the mountain not big, the grass is as small as a golf course. What makes the two goddesses even more frustrated is that the handsome horse for people to ride turned out to be smelly and covered with insects. The two goddesses Fang Wenxin and Zhou Zichen were so frightened that they hid their faces and ran away before they even got close enough to take a look.
The driver of the jeep is a middle-aged man in his 30s. He is small, dark-skinned, and speaks with a strong Chengdu accent. However, he speaks in a carefree manner that gives people a very refreshing feeling.
The jeep drives just like the driver himself. Even when passing through the many twists and turns of the mountains, it is as agile as a cunning rabbit and as fast as the wind. However, this made Xiang Hui and the two goddesses in the car suffer again!
There are many mountains, as the name suggests, and the road seems to be a giant snake wrapped around the mountain, with countless twists and turns. If Erlang Mountain can scare people to death, then Zheduo Mountain can really wear people to death.
Since the jeep entered the mountain road, Xiang Hui and the others kept swinging back and forth on the mountain road like swings. In addition, almost most of the road was gravel. After more than an hour, not only the waists of several people were twisted into twists, but also half of the body was shaken and numb.
However, I was very relieved that the journey was very smooth. Although I encountered more than a dozen muddy roads along the way, I could easily get around them. In less than two hours, the car climbed to the top of the mountain, and a magnificent spectacle came into view instantly!
"Look, there is such a big snow-capped mountain there!" As soon as the car arrived at the pass of Zheduo Mountain, the sharp-eyed Fang Wenxin exclaimed in vivid expression.
"Wow! What a majestic snow-capped mountain! Driver, stop the car quickly and let us take a few photos before we leave!"
Under Fang Wenxin's exclamation, Xiang Hui turned his head and was shocked to see a huge snow peak in the distance that was far higher than all the peaks within the visual plane, standing like a god between heaven and earth!
Its majestic and majestic appearance made people feel awe in their hearts. At this time, Xiang Hui and others were already on Zheduo Mountain with an altitude of more than 4,200 meters!
"This is the King of Shu Mountain, Gongga Sacred Mountain! It is more than 7,500 meters high, which is not much different from the highest peak in the world!" The middle-aged driver stopped the car and looked at Gongga in the distance, which looked like the Optimus Pillar. Shan, introduced with a solemn expression.
After hearing this, Xiang Hui was even more excited and set up his camera, taking an unforgettable photo for each of the four of them!
It was already around 4 o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at Xinduqiao. The middle-aged driver saw that Xiang Hui was carrying a good camera, so he volunteered to be a guide for Xiang Hui and others, saying that he must visit the extremely charming places near Xinduqiao. Idyllic, it would be a shame otherwise.
When Xiang Hui and the two goddesses heard the middle-aged driver's sincere and enthusiastic suggestion, they made plans to spend the night here.
"Zhan Yitian, why are you staring at the sky in a daze? You haven't even picked up the fruit yet. Sister is going to enjoy the pastoral scenery!" Fang Wenxin urged Zhan Yitian in a coquettish tone when she saw Zhan Yitian staring at the sky alone in a daze.
Ke Zhan Tiantian seemed to turn a deaf ear, still staring blankly in the direction of Zheduo Mountain where he came from without saying a word.
"Why are you still in a daze? Get in the car quickly, or I'll leave you here alone!" Seeing that Zhan was still in a daze all day long, Fang Wen couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Everyone, wait a minute, take a closer look at the sky over there!" Suddenly Zhan Tiantian spoke, and pointed with a raised finger in the direction of Zheduo Mountain behind everyone.
Seeing Zhan Yitian's serious look, Xiang Hui and the three of them, including the driver, were startled and followed Zhan Yitian's finger.
"Look carefully, the white cloud in the sky over there is growing rapidly. It was just as big as a palm just now. Now it is as big as a bull's head, and it is still getting bigger!" Zhan Tian explained while pointing. See what you see.
"Where are they? There are a lot of clouds over there, and they are all bigger than you said. Why don't you pick the big one and find an invisible small cloud to fool who?" Fang Wen looked at it for a long time. I didn't find the cloud group that Zhan Yitian was referring to, so I thought that Zhan Yitian was just making things up to bluff people.
"Yeah, Zhan Yitian, aren't you looking at the show?" Xiang Hui also became confused.
"Look carefully, you are now as big as a calf!" Zhan Tiantian did not explain too much, but pointed to the sky in the distance again.
"I saw it. It was a cloud in the distance. Now it is quickly connecting with nearby clouds!" The middle-aged driver saw it first and gave Xiang Hui pointers.
"Well... there is indeed a cloud that is gradually getting bigger, but it is behind us, and it is so far away that it should not affect us, not to mention it is not a dark cloud."
This time Lao Xiang also saw the rapidly changing clouds in the distance, but because it was behind him, he didn't feel that the clouds would have much impact.
The two goddesses also had the same idea as Xiang Hui. They looked at the middle-aged driver with puzzled eyes.
"No, the weather here is very changeable. You can't tell when there will be strong winds and heavy rains. If I really wait until then, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back. While the clouds are still light, I have to get a few guests quickly. Go back and be humble!"
After the middle-aged driver finished speaking, he started to take Xiang Hui and others' luggage out of the car without any explanation. While the two goddesses were still in a daze, the middle-aged driver was already sitting in the jeep and started waving goodbye to the four of them.
Judging from his appearance, he didn't even dare to stay for a moment. With a wave of his arm, he stepped on the accelerator and turned around and ran away. His neatness and decisiveness were even more exciting than when he came!
Seeing the jeep disappearing in a flash, Xiang Hui and others suddenly became at a loss.
