Chapter 118 Chapter 6 The Monbas

Xiao Lin's calm answer shocked me a bit. There was clearly a child in the living room just now, how could he say there was no child?I believe that I did not have hallucinations. The terrain here is much lower, and I have taken a lot of medicine. I have basically adapted to the environment, and it is impossible to have hallucinations again.Under my repeated questioning, Xiao Lin actually smiled and said: "We did have a child before, but he died shortly after birth." Generally speaking, one should feel sad when hearing these things, and those who talk about their own experience will be even more sad and tearful, but Xiaolin is full of smiles, and some coldness has entered the warm house at some point.Although Kobayashi didn't look sad, I was embarrassed to go on, because I was worried that Kobayashi was so sad that he laughed so happily.

I looked around the house again, but there was still no sign of the child. Could it be that what I saw just now was the ghost of Xiao Lin and his children?Thinking of this, I can't help but feel hairy, and I really want to leave this room immediately.However, I am unfamiliar with the place and the language, so where can I go?Besides, the worst thing is seeing a little ghost. If he wanted to hurt me, he would have done it long ago. Little ghosts are obedient children, so I don't have to be afraid of them.Even so, I still felt that I was poisoned. It was nothing to do, but when I remembered what the classmate said, I felt uncomfortable all over my body.

"Don't mind, this is the tradition of Moinba." Kobayashi said with a smile again. "What's wrong?" I didn't understand Xiaolin's meaning. "It's just that my husband has been dragging you to talk, but you couldn't understand, so he kept nagging for an hour." Xiao Lin said with an apologetic expression. "This is the Moinba tradition, dragging the guests to talk?" I didn't understand. "Well. If Monba has a guest staying overnight, the host will chat with the guest. The guest can't sleep, and the host can't leave to rest first. So, don't mind, the meal you just had is also a Monba tradition. I saw that you seemed a little Disappointed." Xiaolin explained, which actually made me feel embarrassed.

"I'm not disappointed, it's just that your dishes are really spicy." I moved the topic away in embarrassment. "I wanted to give you a drink, but you are not in good health, so I didn't bring out the wine." After finishing speaking, Xiao Lin led me into the room, "You are also sleepy, rest first, I will take you to handle it tomorrow Border Pass." "okay, thank you." Xiaolin and her husband led me to the room they had prepared. They didn't walk in front of me, but walked behind me with a bow.The room they prepared was right next to their bedroom. There was a desk in the middle of the two rooms. On it was a silver bowl filled with clear water. There was a coin at the bottom of the bowl. On the left and right were two burning ghee lamps. lamp.This decoration is very similar to some folk magic decorations, which made me feel more uneasy, but it is not easy to ask more questions when I live in someone else's house, so I have to pretend that I didn't see it.However, judging by the appearance of those furnishings, they are all quite old, especially the two butter lamps, the traces of time are clearly visible, and they seem to have been burned for many years.

After Kobayashi and the others left, I wanted to close the door and go to sleep, but found that the room was not locked, so I had no choice but to give up.At night, I slept so drowsily that I thought I was sleeping in my own home in a daze.The next day, I woke up very early, and when I left the room, I found that the butter lamp was still burning.I remember that when I saw them last night, they were almost burnt out, and now they are still burning, which means that Xiaolin and the others got up at night to fix them, so they kept burning.I asked myself in my heart: Why did they insist on keeping the butter lamp burning?When I was about to go out, I found that the doors of their house were not locked, and there was no lock-like thing at each door. Could it be that their house has not been fully renovated?

After eating the breakfast prepared by Xiaolin, we went to the relevant departments in the town to apply for documents, and met Lin Yue there without any accident.I had been prepared for a long time, so I pricked up my ears before I came to the office, and Lin Yue's voice fell into my ears immediately.In order not to hit me directly, I deliberately said that my stomach hurts, and insisted that Xiao Lin take me to the toilet.In order not to make Kobayashi suspicious, I pretended to rush in when I got to the toilet, as if I really wanted to go to the toilet. After a while, I dawdled out and deliberately delayed a lot of time on the way.Calculating with fingers, a lot of time has passed, and Lin Yue should finish her work and leave the office.The place where the documents are processed is the Armed Police Frontier Detachment of Bayi Town, because when going to Medog, there is also a checkpoint of the Jiefang Bridge, where the pass must be checked.I brought my camera. I heard that I couldn’t take pictures of the bridge when I heard about it. Xiao Lin told me to hide it secretly, otherwise it might be temporarily confiscated by the lovely armed policeman.ID cards and border defense certificates are required to apply for documents. ID cards must be carried when going out, and no one will bring such a special thing as a border defense certificate without preparation.Coincidentally, when I was in Lhasa, I had already handled it locally under the leadership of Xiao Lin's husband, although it cost a lot of money and was extremely troublesome.The process of applying for the documents was very smooth, probably because of the presence of Xiaolin, it seems that I really have to rely on my friends to go out.

When I walked out of the office, Xiao Lin asked me to buy some necessary things in the town, and she went to help me ask if there was a vehicle to enter Medog. If there was no vehicle, I could only go in.Xiao Lin is good at everything, but last night it was a bit strange to talk about the child, and the arrangement of the desk was also strange.Maybe this is the incense stand of some sect that Moinba believes in, maybe I think too much.When Xiao Lin left, he asked me to buy a few more pairs of shoes one size larger, preferably Jiefang shoes.She said that although there are cars going in, maybe the road is blocked or the car is broken down, so we have to walk.On the way to Medog, walking is as common as eating, and you must wear shoes that are one size larger, otherwise ten toenails will be worn off.When I heard this, I laughed at Xiao Lin for making a big fuss. The shoes I usually wear are just right. Wouldn’t it be inappropriate to wear one size bigger?Thinking of this, I remembered that the conductor on the train also gave me a pair of military liberation shoes, and they were one size larger. Could it be that the road to Medog really needs to wear shoes that are one size larger? What scary things can happen on the road? ?

Xiaolin told me to go to the town to buy some salt, coarse socks and leggings, and then left.I wandered around the town, not taking Xiao Lin's words to heart, what's the use of buying those things, buying more food is the big deal.In case you are stuck on the road, you can fill your stomach and warm your body anyway.I bought a lot of food in one go, and then tried the signal of my mobile phone, but I couldn't connect, so I had to sigh.While wandering on the road, I noticed that the doors of several houses were not locked. It was really strange. Didn't their houses have been renovated?But judging from the appearance of the house, it is very old. If they don't install locks, are they afraid of thieves?

In town, I met a few people who could barely speak Chinese, so I asked about the route to Medog.Because the questions I asked at the office just now were unclear, and they were basically incomprehensible place names, or super-professional terms, it was like talking to a duck.The Chinese-speaking people in the town told me that there are basically two routes to go to Medog. One is to climb the Duoxiongla Snow Mountain and walk for several days and nights to reach Medog; the other is to take a car for a few hours to Nyingchi. Bomi County in the area, enter by car from Bomi.People in the town recommended me to climb the snow-capped mountains to enter Medog, and told me not to stay there for too long, lest the mountains be blocked by heavy snow and I would not be able to come out until March next year.Because Medog is surrounded by snow-capped mountains, once the heavy snow falls, it is difficult for local people to get out.

During the conversation, a person who spoke Tibetan came to make friends with me. After a person who can speak Chinese translated, it turned out that he wanted me to go to his house for a drink.I thought to myself, the people here are really enthusiastic, and people they don’t know dare to call them home.Unexpectedly, the person who spoke to me in Chinese whispered: "Don't go." I was taken aback by his serious look, so I quickly refused.As soon as the Tibetan-speaking people left, the Chinese-speaking friends said: "Don't bother with people you don't know, and their wine is even more undrinkable. Be careful of being poisoned."

"Poisoning?" I heard only two words out of my mouth, but my heart was shocked: Why is it the same as what my classmates said, can the Menba people really poison? What the Chinese-speaking friend explained was almost the same as what the classmates said. Xiao Lin’s husband didn’t give me a drink. It seems that they are still good people. At least I can stand here and talk properly.During the conversation, I saw Lin Yue going out of Bayi Town from a distance. I asked my Chinese-speaking friend, and he said that the route Lin Yue took should be to climb directly from Duoxiongla Snow Mountain instead of taking a big turn. Starting from Bomi County.I thought to myself, it would be best for Lin Yue to climb over the snow-capped mountains, so that I could freely drive into Medog without worrying about bumping into Lin Yue in the car.Because there may be only a few cars entering Medog a year, and if one car enters in a period of time, it is considered a blessing from God.If Lin Yue plans to go in from Bomi, then we will definitely run into each other. When I was about to leave, I thought of Xiao Lin's desk and that strange child, so I mentioned it to my friend.Unexpectedly, I got the answer from this friend, who whispered a few words to me quietly.It was only then that I realized that it turned out that the Monba people still have such a little-known secret! At this time, Xiaolin found me and said that there was a car going to Bomi County, and they were also planning to go from Bomi County to Medog County.I was very excited when I heard that, even if it was futile to follow Lin Yue this time, at least I had set foot on the last road in the country.Taking a car into the mountain is definitely much faster than Lin Yue walking, and she is not afraid that she will run first, and she can also go to survey the terrain first, which really kills two birds with one stone.When I got on the bus to Bomi County, I said many thanks to Xiao Lin and her husband, and they waved to me reluctantly.When the car was about to drive out of Bayi Town, I saw through the car window that night’s child standing on the side of the road. After seeing me in the car window, he smiled shyly at me, and I also raised my hand. He waved his hand with a smile.
