Quick mission: We don't make trouble

The three of them rested for a while in the Red River Valley. Wu Di only picked up two small stones as souvenirs. He couldn't take away too many. Then he walked to the place where the scenic area gate used to be in the afterglow of the sunset.

But the small square I remembered is no longer here, now there is a small forest.

They found yak dung in the woods.

And there are signs that the grass in the forest has been chewed.

This indicates that there are people grazing here.

The three of them were delighted, ah, they finally got out.

I couldn't help but speed up my pace.

After passing through the woods, the view suddenly opens up and a grassland appears in front of us.

As the sun sets, its afterglow casts a golden glow across the vast grasslands. The mountains in the distance gradually become outlined, creating a striking contrast with the sunset glow in the sky. A gentle breeze caresses the green grass, creating waves across a green ocean.

Herds of cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the grassland.

It makes bleating sounds from time to time.

The herdsmen galloped across the grasslands on their steeds, the sound of their hooves echoing through the air, as if they were the freest creatures on earth. At this moment, everything on the grasslands was bathed in golden light, tranquil and beautiful.

At the end of the grassland, at the foot of the mountain, where the prayer flags are fluttering, you can see the tall spire of a pagoda. There is a temple there.

The other houses are located around the temple.

Wu Di rolled over on the grass, "Oh, Mom, I finally saw someone."

Then he lay there motionless.

Zhu Qingqing was also tired. She had walked out with all her might before, and now she saw the long-lost human beings. No matter what era it was, seeing human population gave her a sense of real existence.

She was not as casual as Wu Di. She just sat gently on the grass and massaged her legs and feet which were sore from walking.

Wang Xiangdong put his hands on the pergola and looked at the temple in the distance.

He was sure that this was the famous Lama temple next to the scenic area.

It's just a little smaller than it was then...

The three people suddenly appeared in this exposed place and were soon seen by the shepherd.

He waved the whip in his hand, whistled, and galloped towards this side.

Wang Xiangdong did not move.

He only said, "Someone's here. Don't say anything. I'm here to negotiate with him."

Zhu Qingqing pulled Wu Di to stand up.

Soon, the shepherd's horse ran up to them and circled around the three of them.

The shepherd looked at the three strangely dressed people and asked cautiously, "What do you do?"

Speaks Tibetan.

Zhu Qingqing and Wu Di didn't understand and looked at Wang Xiangdong.

He's a local, so he should be able to.

Wang Xiangdong chattered to the man.

The man rode away on his horse.

Zhu Qingqing asked: "What did you say to him?"

Wang Xiangdong: "I told him we came from outside, got lost, and walked in the woods for several days before we found our way out."

Zhu Qingqing: "He believed it? Didn't he see that we were dressed differently from them?"

Wang Xiangdong: "I said we are Han people living in Han areas outside, so this is how we dress.

He has never been outside, so he doesn’t know what Han people wear outside.”

Zhu Qingqing: "Then are you asking what era it is now?"

"I haven't asked yet. I guess he doesn't know either. He said that their small village depends on the Lama Temple for survival, and everything is subject to the orders of the Lamas in the temple.

He didn't know whether he should let us go on the pilgrimage and wanted to ask the lama.

Let’s walk over there slowly. Whether the lama agrees or not, we have to go over there.”

Zhu Qingqing understood.
