I did not expect a city of Lhasa is the case.
Roaming over all the way from Yunnan, Lijiang, used to seeing the beautiful scenery of beauty, a strong contrast to contrast, so I began to color some of the city's simple and not suited.
Sitting in the city-bound bus from the airport on the side, a man wearing a suit with the non-stop vomiting.
"You have to reflect the plateau?" I asked him.
"Yes, head pain," he gave me a smile.
"Do you come from," he hands by pressing head, is still a painful expression.
"Come from Shenzhen, you now have other feelings apart from a headache?" I looked at him carefully asked for an initial meeting so concerned about a stranger's purpose is very simple, just want to know the symptoms of altitude to reflect what is in the end, from the the plane had been almost an hour now, I have not what does not.
Think out of the plane had just boarded the bus when there are several well-intentioned Tibetans followed behind me shouting: Hey, be careful to reflect the plateau oh. I told them smile, but also playful in situ transfer of the two rings, shook his head, is not dizzy.
"Are you from Shenzhen?" May be listening to our conversation, next door to seat a more than 40-year-old Tibetan man, struck up a conversation with me over Minato.
"Yes, you are this is a business trip?" It appears he was a businessman, I guess he went to Lhasa is the business or go home.
"Is to go home, I have just come back Zhongdian" The uncle, who speaks English fairly friendly also good, but then a thick smell of buttered tea I will be unconscious body to the Village by the by.
"Look, there is the Potala Palace, the" car has been in the urban area, the Tibetan people pointing distant uncle, a row of temple-style architecture, the Potala Palace? Not to mention ambitious, with the Forbidden City in Beijing and Shenyang, a far cry compared.
"Oh, very beautiful," says with some half-hearted. After all, I am not very familiar with this city, also nothing to say.
"Beauty, I have to Lhasa, and miss you," I bow began to fat cell phone short interest rates Attention: Ami. ""
Amis received responses very quickly, "beautiful women, we have to know Ami very occasional Meili Snow Mountain, Lijiang, I lived for nearly a week, there are four days nest in a room writing a novel. By the fifth day, when out of the sun , just walking around all met in the ancient city of the Amis
Compelling reason for Amis not because she is beautiful, but her chest hanging the placard attracted my eye.
"Existing 2 MM levy the same tours, car rental to Zhongdian tomorrow morning"
I was going to first go to Zhongdian, and then fly to Lhasa, I met Ami can not help to talk about a few words, because she is with another sister is also in Shenzhen when it comes to work, we peer, do the news media.
When he learned that I am a lone person, and through Kunming, Dali, Lijiang, the Ami that is warm up, in her over the pages of persuasion, I agreed with their colleagues, and talk about the burden on 180 large fare well yuan.
In this way all the way came in unprepared when a foot in to Lhasa. Also, when the plane began to read antelope manual targeting of the two hotels, Asia hotels, eight school corridors.
The bus finally arrived in Lhasa aviation center, walking off to bid farewell to his uncle with the Tibetans, he remains enthusiastic about inviting me to his Jiazuo Zuo, I am not feeling rejected the name, after all, they first met to-door visits, and some take the liberty of . Repeatedly refused to see me, uncle, Tibetans will be left a card saying that if in Lhasa, to buy something, then he must call him, Bajiao Street merchants selling people things like the open sky-high price. .
Xie Xie another bid farewell to the Tibetans uncle, I jumped into a tricycle straight Theme: 8 Gallery Studies.
Tricycle soon the main road into downtown, never thought much of Lhasa city, all kinds of brand clothing is also complete, leisurely sitting leisurely sightseeing car, time flies, an instant car will be parked in "Eight Gallery to learn."
This is a very unique hotel. Hospital architectural style simple and crisp, end up in the possession of two kinds of features, even the room can be divided into two kinds of Chinese and Tibetan styles. Unfortunately, the help desk lady told me that there is no single, one double room left in the final, the lowest 50. I do not know why, I just like to learn the words 8 Gallery, and are unwilling to flee, and then think about it to stay.
Took the key with the behind the event came in the service room, the corridor surrounded by a group of young men and women in wok cooking.
"Hey, you good, and I come in Shenzhen, just arrived today," I have always about their welfare, and to know who the older old Geming Jiao Feng Wei from Beijing, is China's photography magazine photographer. Another group of young men and women from Shanghai, a girl call-niu-niu, boys Jiao Li Xiaojing, who had just returned from Ali, next goal is to Medog. I often heard people say that is equal to less than Ali did not come to Tibet, so that they are heard niu-niu Ali, hiking for seven days after the admiration of her courage to vote to five bodies. Features a move that she said that we must learn to experience, to help me describe what parts of the West Zang must go take a look into the room, lay down their luggage, just washing the face, people would knock on the door. Feng Wei Lao Ge is next door, he said they are ready to work together for a sumptuous meal, invited me to dinner.
Although I had been eating dinner features a move to reaffirm, or pulled by their table on the balcony before, we also found two more people before the table are a photographer and makeup, by the Lao Ge introduction, I also know 2 new friends, from Beijing, Li Yong-sheng, and the Tibetan boy nima snow Kang. Feng Wei had to walk Medog Laoge leave tomorrow evening to stay in Lhasa for his friends farewell.
Reactive power is not Paul, then think about want to eat other people's mouth is short, I volunteered to say to dinner dishes. Surprisingly, just one remark exports, everyone looked at me then shouted in Qing Deng Dayan, finally niu-niu speak: Do not you know, Feng teacher's dirty, there are 30 bowls, and dirty dishes a few Zhengchou nobody scouring.
I heard they came fresh, I like, I like, I love this man did something else, that is like washing dishes, what dirty bowls and chopsticks, even though it showed me.
Are eating keen interest, the room next door to one another out of the tall tall boy, at first glance, then a kind of déjà vu. Do not want to feel familiar, where have seen them. He sailed right along, stopped at my side: I am sorry, is it possible to look at, I suddenly turned himself sitting openings blocked people's avenue, busy and not fall stand up and apologize, sorry, sorry. Surprisingly, he also features a move of the spoke Sorry, we politely yelling.
A meal when the phone rang SMS is Hainan sent by a friend. Hesitant to say that he would like to ask me a favor, I am happy when you eat and send text messages to mobile phones will be blunt up: TNND, quickly said something. Do not hem and haw of.
Called in the past, and they asked what was going on, the original Tibetan friend he owed money to 180, and asked if I could help him at first and rely on such a point Shier, as early as you had any brains, I say comfort him: According to your Brother's credibility, let alone 180, no problem in 1800.
Off the phone, good-bye to a group of people are having their meal, following the address he provided the creditors come looking for him.
Five minutes later, to contact him. The woman who ordered the men are participating in the Tibetan Song and Ming friend's wedding, I have come a fresh, this unique program is not to be missed, and asked where his position, then a taxi straight out of Lhasa Troupe.
October 11 I did not attend the wedding of the Tibetans, the heart must have been busy singing and dancing extraordinary.
Surprisingly, after the troupe arrived in Lhasa, where surprisingly quiet. Mobile is preparing to call out when a Tibetan mother came, warm look inside my hand pulled away, "how come they have almost finished," I know she must have put me as the wedding party, it with the old mother, the wrong side of the asked: where they are, to many people do?
The mother did not speak, took me around two rows of buildings, the burst of noise and excitement begins with the innermost of the large room pass out. Just a door, the room suddenly quieted down. The room is the Jishihaoren Chijiu eye brush sweep of Qi, the lucky break the mood staring at me. This way, I found that, in this room, regardless of my appearance or dress are at variance with others, full of Chinese features, no wonder they put me as the "outsiders"
"Hi" I'm embarrassed standing still in situ, a very unnatural expression were greeted with the Tibetans, and then one by one face of the search, guess what I'm looking for a Mr. "Song" A few minutes later , the house resumed its noisy sound, but I still stood there, teeth hated.
"Song !!!!" too much to bear, and also refused to take what the lady grace Chezhebozai shouted. "Song !!!!" second tone just a floor, a burly pony-tailed boy, he went to fast for me. "In the, in, you???"
"Just the phone, I called Mocha," I huff's explained what he wanted, then look through the pockets of those 180 to find the money.
"Too polite, and I beg your pardon, but also let you so far away came a trip," Song took the money, and a look of polite laughter, this man knows an honest look at people's part to a child.
"Is it far? Near ah, I am not playing when the car jumped over the table," is really people really met people, I am also a terrible reality.
Know I can hit their cars, and Song will be bent drove me to go back.
Heard him say that a car can send me, I am happy to have blue eyes, and the surface is still strong installed calm, cosmetic refused me, I am sorry to trouble you, my own car back the same.
Song no longer speak, took car keys out of the door to the launch vehicle, I would snore with those of Tibetans 11 with my farewell happy with the Song of Pidianpidian behind.
My God, think of Zheliang cool, but also hyun, another type of vehicle is actually Neo's. Converted the car is too beautiful, beautiful almost guess it's a prototype, and with my experience to think should be like Desert Storm, off-road masters.
Sitting in the car, I kept the praise this car pretty good, but diverge Song topic chat with me.
"You are the Shenzhen people?"
"No, from the north and working in Shenzhen."
"No wonder, look at your face looks like the north. To do what their job?"
"Writing a story, specifically to write ghost stories, you afraid of?" I learned an otherworldly terror Ghost television voice to scare him.
"Oh, are not afraid. How long have you go to Lhasa?"
"Today just arrived, but no plateau reflects" a car traveling on the road, from time to time on both sides of the road caused the attention of passers-by, my heart thus elatedly the backs of the upright.
"You are the Tibetans? Is definitely not," I guess him.
"Why not? Looked not like?" He was, I laugh, and changed files to continue to drive the car.
"Because of your good Putonghua, ah, but also a decent skin," My reason for fairly strong, because of Tibet's unique plateau climate, generally tan Tibetans are a very red face, and the skin less well off.
10 minutes distance, cars and motorcycles to eight gallery study, I thanked him, and then get off.
"Mocha?" Song told me to sit inside the car.
"What?" I look back to see him.
"What is your phone?" He took out mobile phone ready to record.
I told him, the phone will be ringing.
"Are written down my phone it, there's anything to call me"
"Oh," I have his cell phone number is also stored.
"Mocha?" He launched the car, when I remembered the name of what is also called the "what" I asked.
"One careful,"
Thank you, I sincerely say.
Back to hostels upstairs back room, the dinner table of that group of people have not yet dispersed, to see me back, they kick up a fuss with a smile, "the back washing dishes Hello"
I exaggerated to be a face, "I do" or finding a way out, followed by niu-niu to clean the table, holding a bunch of it to the toilet bowl to wash.
"Need help?" Niu-niu asked me to stand behind.
"A mere trifle, my dishes are addicted you to hold a bunch of glad I did it over," said this is not show off, since the West Street in Yangshuo's "Blue Lotus" bar, so service experience life, I fell in love with the dishes, and regardless of how many chopsticks can be washed clean, neat display.
A few minutes later, niu-niu rice and then hold to a pile of plastic chopsticks, were all let her down, and I'll Gao Ding.
After washing bowl back to the room, everyone is still spirits are concentrated. I quietly asked Feng Wei Lao Ge, what good works, let me see that he had heard I said it's pleased to see photo: I was looking for your help it spoke something happens, you will be referred to a photo "
"Come to me to help? Any help?" I'm puzzled.
"I was getting ready to a Tibetan-style album does, you do not a writer, just help me in the pictures, with some text"
, "With text? I was to write a ghost story, and you are not afraid of me in the pictures, what to write pre-existence of present and what Sansei stone?" I asked him.
"Do not fear, you write the text is a logical thinking, our photography is the impression of thinking, they just do not conflict between the two could complement each other," Feng Wei Lao Ge Otherwise, pick up his work back to the room where I sat pondering over his words. "Logical thinking? Impression of thinking?" Is not, each of us the idea of a story, will be the first design of the article at the beginning of the end of the story and want to express the central idea of the meaning. The photographer is different, their imagination and inspiration are in line with the lens. The vibration instant regret, there the most wonderful set grid.
Night comes, Feng Wei Lao Ge, Li-Sheng Xue Kang Nima also came to my room to see the works of Feng Wei Lao Ge. Feng Wei photos of mostly Lao Ge digital camera the main reason for finished photos are archived in the computer.
I am watching Feng Wei Lao Ge photographs, one side wins and snow with Yong Kang Nima chat, I do not know how to talk to Li Sheng's daughter. Listen to his tone is still very memorable for her daughter.
"That's how your daughter together without?" I asked him, "she can not come, and died of medical malpractice"
"Oh? That's how old when he died?" I asked.
"13-year-old sixth grade, and year after year are three good students." Lee recalled a time when his daughter, looks bleak.
"She died that day or if I send her to school, and can not think of a time when the afternoon because of stomach pain accompanied by classmates, went to the hospital"
"Stomach is a small ah, can not be dead," I took his words again asked.
"A doctor misdiagnosed a bit irrelevant injected drugs, and so I rush to the time people have Buxing Le"
"That's how to deal with the hospital, and did not give a view?"
"The lawsuits played for two years, the hospital has always refused to admit their responsibility. I am now the medical community does not hold any hope, and not to fight a lawsuit with the official results, so I think the power of God through the solution to solve the"
"God's power to solve?" I do not understand.
"Yes, I have come to Tibet three times, and goal is to climb in 2006 will be my daughter buried in Mount Everest next to the goddess. She was too good, and gave her the goddess of Mount Qomolangma is perhaps the best end-result "
"Your body? To go to Golden Mount Everest?" I looked at his emaciated body feel a little weird.
"Yes, so I am now in constant exercise, until 2006, when I went to Gordon Everest, even climb on the way and then can not get on board, I will ask others for help, then how are My daughter's ashes should be buried to the top of Everest. "
I am really touched by this fatherly, and a time you speechless.
Late at night, I gradually began to feel shortness of breath together, and even later had Taikoudakou of breath, and to regulate the body's capacity to adapt.
"You have to reflect the plateau?" Snow Kang Nima ask me.
"I think it's" I'm not too sure, but the body has clearly become increasingly uncomfortable.
"I was sitting there, do not move, take a break would be good," he took me to the bed and sat down to Rotary, let me learn to like him take a deep breath.
"Plateau reflects the will kill people?" I naive question.
"Of course it will, I used to take over an old lady that died in the United States, reflected in the plateau."
"How to die, tell me to listen to it."
"That was my most uncomfortable thing, and a 65-year-old woman from the United States afternoon, down from the Potala Palace, waiting, people still be properly returned to the hotel when the fail at her to call I say it is difficult subject, and so I rushed to the hotel when the people have taken to hospital "
"Later it?"
"Later, I catch up with the hospital, her condition had been poor, more than a dozen nurses, by pressing her, she was not allowed to tamper with, and she saw me like family to see the same struggle to be together. I nurse pushing, and I said You do not hold her, let her speak, she is a human, you do not do that to her. Then that old lady holding my hand and told me that a lot of words, but also told me that she wanted to return to the United States. and then later at night 6 point when died.
"Poor"
"Of course the poor, you do not know the feeling, I saw she had been struggling until the last die, and the old lady's death I have been crying for several days, and later her son to the United States, Tibet, when features a move thanks to me, to give me money and I refused.
"My god, then how do I do, I also have to reflect the plateau, will not soon would have been dead," I scared to see the snow Kang Nima think that they immediately doom.
"Ha ha ha, you this is only a slight reflection, and then have nothing more weight, and now the Tibetan medicine also advanced, and you are in Lhasa, where the heaviest urban areas are not afraid of the plateau reflects the worst case scenario pulled into the hospital put your high-ri absorption times bitter oxygen, sending it back everything gone.
At this point I knew the snow Kang Nima is a tour guide, fluent in English, Japanese, Chinese, Tibetan and other languages.
"You helped me from a Tibetan name bar," I think the fun, then let him Mo Zhao Xue Kang Nima gave me a pleasant sounding name, "your name,,,, Oser Dolma bar" a little like Snow Kang Nima a moment, then gave this name to me.
"Oser Droma? What does that mean?" I asked, "That name means light Guanyin Bodhisattva's as beautiful as the sun," Snow explained Kang Nima "Sun Goddess? Oser Droma? Well, I like" I jotted down the name of this beautiful Tibetan.
October 12 night, then woke up again several times, breathing is not smooth, they simply came up a few Paqi Rhodiola rosea on the warm water to eat. To lie down to sleep again, I do not know how long, heard someone knock on the door, was originally Feng Wei Laoge had been preparing to leave, I went downstairs, he was standing on the roof packing luggage.
"Mocha, last night, sleep well?" I still laugh like a dream and a half Banxing him.
"Not very good, there seems to plateau reflects, how do you go so early?" I rubbed his eyes, just to see that he jumped from the roof.
"Helped him to wear it, we have a Tibetan custom of blessing to listen to a girl is the most efficacious the" Nikon snow horse and holding a white hada gave me.
I heard the girls the most spiritual blessings, they took the Hatta border to help Feng Wei Lao Ge wear again wish him bon voyage, Yan Yu continued.
Feng Wei Lao Ge laugh, good good, Yan Yu constant is a good thing, by your words of Kyrgyzstan.
Took a few photo, Feng Wei Lao Ge driving the car slowly out of "Eight Gallery school" after this morning off to run. Crowd dispersed, I see the time too early, we stroll up in the hospital. Main door of the visitors message board there are two pieces of information caught my attention.
1 are: 15, departure Lhasa - Everest - camphor - Nepal's comments were: freefish
Article II: 13, starting to see burial Zheng Zi Gong Temple tour a message with the person: A place.
Message by pressing the back of the phone number of the first contact that freefish, telephone call in the past know freefish also from Shenzhen, participating organizations are relatively well-known mills in Shenzhen, he had arrived in Lhasa more than a month, has seen a lot of scenery, after the should be left to Nepal. I discussed with him a few days so I can go again and again, after all, I have not arrived in time to see many places in Tibet. He hesitated a moment that visas have been completed, and so I have 32 days can also be time for longer hard to say that we make an appointment on the 10 o'clock sharp in the square before the Potala Palace to meet Jietouanhao mobile phone text messages prevail.
Ten o'clock, when I was wearing a set of Tibetan Women's invited to help the Tibetan sister camera, mobile phone rang, I looked around to see the freefish, his middle body, wearing an eye, look like a scholar. I thought scare him Ye Hao, wearing Tibetan dress ran past, learn Tibetan sister's tone: Sir, according to a group photo to do?
"Do not, do not" freefish very shy and I'm sorry I Zhengyan Kan. Features a move of the hiding waved aside.
"Are you embarrassed that way?" I Renzhao Xiao behind him, Buyiburao.
"I said No, thanks" freefish seems to be angry, pout a sternly refused to me.
"Then you use your digital camera to help me shoot a bar," I choked back not allow yourself to laugh.
"Are you??? Mocha? Is not a bar," he smiled at last from my guess my identity.
"Haha, not me Who is it, did not expect we will meet like this bar" I'm proud of rejection from Tibet skirt sleeves and gracefully POSE let him take pictures.
"Camera does fit in, you have to jump on a Tibetan dance better" freefish while playing with the camera while looking for my lens.
This is what is difficult when it comes to dancing, I have been active, will be singing Everest danced a Tibetan dance, freefish also came to the mood Kaka shooting several pictures.
"Danced well Well, a little bit then the meaning of" freefish see me jump good, praised a few.
"That, of course, not good, is very good, Hei hei," I replaced the side of reveling in another hidden side of the Huang served under two heads.
"To eat, my starving" I asked freefish in Lhasa for so long to find what are the characteristics of the snacks No, he thought, took me to eat Taipan Ji.
Dinner time, they discuss the trip from Nepal, freefish that his visa had run, I can wait up to three days, and then later is hard to be afraid of the car rental and find companions. I calculate the time, just in time for Sunday, take passport to the visa have to wait for two days, the timing too tight. Utah Yu hesitate or give up Nepal visit.
"I still look at the first burial bar" to which the mind on the message board to see a burial of the message, I would contact A release.
A Fang Tong finished with after a phone, just freefish empty afternoon, he said he could accompany me to see A release. Lest I am totally unfamiliar re-met a bad man.
Three in the afternoon, we came to live in sub-A release by the hotel. A place with a friend at the Yak Hotel in the set of shared standards, the standard of the room to see such a backpacker than we should be much richer.
"You go to open burial? Girls so much more courageous, not afraid?" A release just eaten rice, the reference to holding a toothpick leisurely teeth.
"I'm afraid of what so many people are watching, but not without a girl," I took the A release of an apple fed to sitting on the couch eating up.
"You have to go?" A place turned to ask freefish.
"I do not go, I went to Everest, Zaiqu camphor wood, and then turn Nepal" freefish said.
"Everest? You go to Everest? A coincidence, I also have a good car set of" A release of the roommate Minato came when asked freefish leave. Can not think of really clever, the original freefish A few days ago with a roommate put telephone contact in the past Everest matters, but also speak well of the four counterparts. Package fare per 2000.
So here I chatted about the burial place with the A, freefish then chatted with the A roommate release of Everest, four people talk about enjoying themselves. 17 o'clock, when I told freefish rose to leave, Ah Fang 3:00 tomorrow morning and I agreed that he would go to eight gallery and drivers to learn to pick me up at road junctions. I definitely time.
Back to travel at night, when Chen Chen received a call from the phone, she first asked me how the stories progress, I have to say Samsam not write these two days to reflect the plateau. "I rely on ~ ~ ~ mocha, you..." Heard the phrase, I know that cursed of Chen Chen have to start, he gave the phone high over his head in the room and then turned back into the ear ring. She still scolded the phone never stopped: dead, you Wanba, I see you in December to pay do not tell how manuscripts "
"Is not December 8 Well, certainly not wrong to pay draft time," I should be careful and forward, the novel has written more than 60,000 words, and from the 170,000-word manuscript worse time for more than two months If I did lazy then it would really difficult to cross.
Chen Chen finally do they not criticize, and the tone became good up and asked if I have any plateaus reflect where to go, and nothing ever coming back. Recognizing Chen Chen almost a year, under the leadership of her, I am an inattentive and entered the circle of writers, Chen Chen learn more every day with the writing skills, as time goes down from time to time drying out the text, for her Scared of getting, I really love is that she really taught me a lot of words on the things hate is a badly written text will be accused her to dozens of minutes.
Chen Chen is still chattering on the phone told me the importance of the novel written, I do not live up to expectations of playing the upper and lower eyelids frame to "I starve, and tomorrow, and you say," Chen Chen had a chance against I would have been hung up the phone. "Dead Mocha" I think she must have hated the phone Cabanatuan teeth.
Opened notebook computers, open the ongoing novel, write a few lines have no more feelings, forget about tomorrow, but also get up early to see a celestial burial, sleep October 13 (I)
I have stood in the cold 20 minutes, or can not see A release of the arrival of desperation began to send text messages: cold days, and when you have to.
SMS just send out a blue Beijing Jeep will be parked in front of me, Ah let roll down the window call me by my name: Mocha on the bus bar.
On the bus later, only to find the car had been filled with people. The other two men and a woman faces is very strange. A release 11 by Shao, boy A flag from Beijing, Ningbo and a pair of lovers Meijuan, Culture and ice.
"See celestial burial, if you are afraid, then I can consider to take a shoulder for you and one can" sit down with the Mei-juan, I began to sweet talk with the Mei-juan-Latin American relations.
"Thank you," Wen-Juan is a very delicate and elegant of the MM, love to laugh not more than words.
"If you fear, then I have here we can rely on his shoulders," A place sitting in the rear head stretched over, malicious thinking bad with a smile.
"No, you have to do when your Ghost Ship on the line," I put jokes with Afghanistan, thinking that their is still not rely on others to be scared Chan Fu.
Days has not yet light, the jeep was driving out of the urban area, an hour later, on the mountain. I sat in the front car, watching the increasingly steep mountain road, bottom of my heart began to fear them, this is a very dangerous road, not to mention the rugged road to death, the entire road is almost impossible to narrow the wrong car, I began to worry that if At this point across to a passing car, then we will not be pushed to the foot of the mountain, along the way non-stop in the hearts of prayer, God, bless peace "to see a celestial burial is only one temple Zigong it?" I asked A release.
"Sera also has, but not for strangers to see. Zi Gong Temple is only open to" A release said that yesterday was Sunday, according to Tibetan custom is inoperative-day Tibet, the general time of burial up to Monday, we were lucky words, we can see several people's funeral.
"This road is really a good risk" I pulled the Yi Jiao Mei-juan, to arouse her sympathy.
"You can also bar, we have come from the Sichuan-Tibet road with this all the time about" Meijuan smiled lightly, seems to be a weather-beaten fighters had.
Motors for two hours, sit back a few boys eyes closed, playing snore, the Meijuan also bowed his head to sleep, except I Dengtai the eyes, looking at the road ahead from time to time with the car Tashi division of paid chat.
I am afraid, really afraid that such a road if I'm afraid of my driving skills road vehicles will fall less than 200 meters of the mountain-ya. So, Tashi a yawn division Fu Gang, I took great pains to find some interesting topics and chat with him. All this has, three hours after the car finally arrived safely Zi Gong Temple.
Not yet dawn, Zigongsiwai burial stopped full view of the off-road vehicles, that we face a converted car caught my attention. How that look familiar? Song! ! I sat in the cab to see the inside of the Song. Kazakhstan, Zhenshi Qiao, and it surprises me that there will be met him, I desperately waved to him, this time he saw me, happy to laugh, learn to look like I greet with us.
Temple to be opened until eight o'clock, A let go off to inquire if there is any burial look crestfallen to come back soon, he said Guan Shier temple monks say that today no one was killed.
"Ah? Then we are not white are coming?" I scream out to the extreme disappointment, "We arrived today, it is that there is a mountain in order to see the Japanese burial has been waiting for two days here, the" A place not agree to说.
"The Japanese? Not as good as he got resolved, in situ burial, but also we did not count in vain," A flag to speak, and a trace of hate on the 12-day national complex.
"Good is good, a good idea. You have to solve it, we will wait and see celestial burial" I'm the loud echoing the reform package.
"Or do you go, and beautiful women to run for a top-two, without a single soldier put his solution to" Ah, I want to release a bad idea to launch to go.
"Open the door, and go on a walk," I do not care about A place, take off the past days have been great light.
"Together go and see, this time to go may not have to buy a ticket," A place finish to take the lead went to the temple entrance. The four of us followed.
The entrance to the monastery is surrounded by a wooden fence, one person was tall enough. I hand Tuile Tui, fence, or shaking of the.
"Jump in there? While monks are not even in this time to go without tickets slipped into the" A place to see no one around, ready to jump the fence.
I heard that collectively free riders, it gets excited and eager to find a safe place.
"Mocha, you have to be careful ah, give people caught is not fun," Meijuan kindly reminded me that in her view, I am a girl turning bar fare evasion was rather incredible.
"All right. If someone catches me say that I am a student has no money to buy a ticket" from the Yunnan Province along the way, I met the students more, and learn a variety of fare evasion methods over the wall, jumping the fence has long commonplace.
A place of skill flexibility, then jumped over the fence lightly. I followed behind him in the next two or three climbed the fence top, leaps to attract and landing.
"Mei-Juan, Wen-bing long detained, wait a minute that we will suffer Lama out of grasp," I turned around Qu Han Mei-juan, let them seize the time to skip to.
"Miss, do not cry, and bearer of the" Ah put his hand nudged me, and I looked back again is simply to be scared collapsed, a small lama standing there looking at me look alert, and his next Li is also the one lining up in the big dogs.
"Hey... Hello," I trembling voice the name with him, say hello, would like to try to smile a little sweet to get a good impression of small lamas.
"You do? Like free riders?" Little monks do not buy my account, stern-faced look at me.
"We are students, poor, and accommodating about it." My eyes did not dare to leave the moment Nazhi German shepherds, for fear of it really, when we pay no attention has skyrocketed.
A release must have also been Nazhi dogs terrified, incoherent threats against the dogs: "Hey, let me tell you, you do not come, I have to eat dog meat, but oh"
A flag outside the fence this time, A Meijuan demand, Culture and ice also follows from the situation to: yes ah, yes ah, we really are a student, give him something to bar preferential treatment, "finished Meijuan really have come up with student cards to give small Lama look at.
Lama looked at our poor little bar bar look as if moving the hidden side of the heart, he thought for a moment to open the fence door, whispered said one simple sentence: into it, into the bar, it when I did not see.
We are five dingy along the path towards the mountain.
"You are miserable, and was arrested on the spot Dying children of the bar" When you see a small lama holding dogs shut the door, the A flag began to take our fun.
"You laugh, idiot啦, but also threatened the dog people, you are eating dog meat, you know where dogs are brought up cannibalism" My Mei Haoqi a position to criticize A release are that he did not Well, did not see the situation the implication I almost was seized.
"Do not complain, and Tian Zangtai quick look for where the" words of the text of the ice has been little talk, and our car is still outside the main gate, there is no time to delay too long.
"I have heard the dead burial by their relatives back hill, I think it was a little flat road Natiao it." A flag of the analysis are to be reasonable, we started with him walking back to the mountains.
A full twenty minutes to go before watching Tian Zangtai look. As prepared to fight, we are everyone takes out his camera, select the location of the beginning take pictures.
9:00 am, Tian Zangtai near a person does not, only the low hum a few over the lazy dog decumbent shouted.
"Look, that's what" we stand Tianzang Tai near the Afghan flag pointing to a hill not far from something dark and round and round.
The "vulture, eating vulture." A free hand to take the telescope to see them.
"My god, these vultures will get used every day waiting here at this time, waiting for cannibalism." Meijuan exclaimed.
"Well, I'll contribute to you once, now I just take off the clothes, and then lie here, not a few seconds you see vultures will threw himself to the" A place play with a face, a die for die a martyr's look .
"You little comes, people are picky eaters vulture, and you to why people eat meat," On I know he was joking, could not help but once again hit out at him.
A flag has not been what he thought for a moment then pick up the bow of his telephoto camera, walked to the distant group of vultures.
"You're not it, to take pictures vulture?" I followed behind him could not help but asked.
"Hey, buddy do not life of the child?" A release is also trot to keep up with the way the past behind him shouting.
“把这个拿好，等一下秃鹫要是袭击我们可以做个防护”阿旗将三角架，展开，拉直后递给阿放。
“你怕了？”我笑着看着阿放。
“笑话，我会怕吗？脑袋掉了碗大个疤，我怕过谁呀”阿放不甘示弱，和我一起跟着阿旗向山上走去。身后的美娟与文冰早已目瞪口呆。
“他们疯了”美娟说。
我们与秃鹫的距离越来越近了，渐渐的可以看清秃鹫的翅膀，嘴吧，脚趾。阿旗的相机一直没有闲着，变幻着不同的角度真实的记录秃鹫的样子。
“你别往前走了，就站在这里吧，太危险了”阿放终于忍不住停了下来，他忽然想起这样危险的行动还拉上我，确实有些不应该。
“我不怕，偏跟着你们”我不断变换着手中相机的焦距，在将目标锁定在阿旗身上，阿旗拍秃鹫我拍阿旗。他的这种敬业精神实在令我敬佩。不怕危险不放弃任何一个精彩的镜头，这是一个摄影师应该具备的最基本素质，凭这一点，我已经开始敬佩阿旗了。
正说话间阿旗的身影不见了，向山顶望去，他已经走到数十只秃鹫的中间。
好精彩，一个专业的摄影师手拿相机站在一群秃鹫中间，轻手轻脚的一步步挪动着。他没有用闪光灯，也许是光线已够用，也许是怕灯光惊动了秃鹫。我蹲在距秃鹫二十米的方地想拍下阿旗的背影，忽然这时，十几只秃鹫纷纷飞起，向我下蹲的位置直冲过来。我当时就想这次死定了，没想到来看天葬却把自己喂了秃鹫，接下来再想，死就死吧，难得有机会这样接近秃鹫，本能的抓起相机连拍数张。谁知拍完之后秃鹫也渐渐远去。心中一块石头落了地，原来秃鹫只对死人感兴趣。
“HI，你没事吧”阿旗和阿放站在山顶喴我的名字。
“我没事，你们怎么样？”说这话间，人还惊魂未定。
“我们当然好啦，刚才的秃鹫是我用石头打飞的，够历害吧”阿放洋洋得意的夸口“这只猪”我忿恨的在心底骂道。
“快看，有死人上山了”阿放眼尖，发现了新情况。我顺着他手指的方向望去，果然，一个身穿藏族服饰的青年男子，背着一个人向天葬台的方向走去，他的身后跟着十几个藏族男女，看样子好象是死者的家属.
10月13日（下）
我们忘记了继续拍照，飞快的向天葬台的方向跑去，
这时天葬台外的那排铁栏杆围成的门已被打开。几个小喇嘛站在门口阻拦着生人勿近。
“要开始了”美娟见我们回来，忙拉住我的手，神色紧张的说。
“不要怕，我们都在这里”我安慰她也安慰自己，毕竟这样血腥的仪式还只在传说里听过。
二十分钟后，一个穿着特别的男子走进天葬台，阿放说这人一定是天葬师了，果然在天葬师一番念念有词过后，那位背死尸的藏人也走进天葬台，把尸体平放在场内中间的堆石上。
死者的家人走上去帮他脱去身上的衣服，然后一具赤裸的男尸呈现在我们面前。
正看时，寺院里的小喇嘛走过来不客气的让我们收起相机，并警告如果我们偷倫拍照的话会被死者的家属把相机砸烂，我吓得吐了吐舌头发现送死尸来的那群人正极不友善的盯着我们看。
“把相机收起来吧”我被他们的目光吓到了，小声的告诉阿旗收好相机，避免引起不必要的麻烦。阿旗也看出事态的严重性，老老实实的收好相机不敢再拍。
仪式开始了，死者的家属也被请到铁栏外站立。我看着天葬师从场内最里面的一间小屋子里拿出一只硕大的斧头，举过头顶，然后用力的向尸体砍去，斧落下时，尸体刹时间血肉模糊，连砍几斧后，一股恶臭从天葬台的方向传来。那是从尸体内发出的酸酸的臭“哇”身边的美娟终于忍不住吐了出来。
我也觉得腹内一阵难受，忍不住要呕吐，太血腥了。硬生生的将一个人头颅砍去，四肢分解，然后去掉骨头，再把人的手臂，大腿砍成若干小块，这简直是太。 . . . . .身边的一些女孩子吓得哇哇乱叫，一个外国女子更是早已昏阙过去。
天葬师肢解完尸体后，再用铁铲取些人肉放到一个特制的容器里，举过头顶念念有词，刹那间山顶上的秃鹫如同收到命令一样直冲过去，纷纷向那堆人肉掠去。不一会儿容器和地面的人肉以及骨头被吃得干干净净。
“好可怕”美娟醒过来时已哭出声音。
我再去看那死者的家属时，他们正虔诚的祈祷仿佛这是一个很神圣而庄严的仪式。
十分钟后，我们下山了，大家走在山路上彼此无语，天葬，我实在没有勇气再看一次。
中午的时候，车回到了拉萨市区，我最先下车，并交给扎西司付二百块。
回到旅社时正遇见李勇胜和雪康尼马坐在走廊里聊天。
“美女一大早的去了哪里？”雪康尼马友好的同我打着招呼。
“去看天葬了”我声音低沉，肠胃里又是一阵难受。
“你们包车去的吗？以后可以找我啊，车费肯定比你们包车的便宜”李勇胜问我最近还要到哪去，他可以低价租车给我。
“我还不知道要去哪呢，找到同伴再说吧”我笑着谢过他。
“要不要一起去吃点东西？”他们又问我。
“不要不要，现在我什么也吃不下”匆匆的告别他们逃一样跑回房间。
下午三点的时候精神好了许多，便爬起来街上走走。大昭寺是最为繁华的地方，我一路走去想在八廊街给深圳的朋友买些纪念品。
讨价还价，买了四十份纪念品后，大昭寺的门口一个藏族小女孩引起我的注意，她身穿一件羊皮围裙，拄着一根细细的拐丈站在大昭寺的门口并不象其它小乞丐一样，抱着行人的大腿不松手，而是看准一个目标后怯怯的走过去：哥哥姐姐，给点钱吧。
莫名的喜欢上了她，站在那里看了她好久。直到她发现我时走了过来，我弯腰下去蹲在那里仔细的端详着她，笑了。她看着我也笑了，纯真稚气的脸上散发的着一抹甜美，
“为什么不去上学？”我问她。
“上学要用很多钱的，我没有钱”她回答我。
“等你攒够了钱回去上学好不好”我拿出两角钱放在她的掌心。
“好，谢谢姐姐”她接过钱满意的笑了。
“和我照张相好不好”我拿出相机请路人帮忙。
“好”她没有拒绝很合作的坐在我身边。
于是，我请身旁的一个男孩子帮我们留下一个合影。
“明天我把照片给你送来”拍完照片我对她道谢，并承诺明天给她送照片来。
“真的吗？姐姐“她有些不相信，又问了我一句。
“当然了，你还想要什么我一起给你带来”
“我也不知道要什么，呵呵”女孩子不好意思的笑了。
“糖果好不好？明天我带很多糖果来看你”我怜爱的看着她，脏兮兮的羊皮围裙在阳光下闪着油光，让人觉得一阵心酸。
吿别了小女孩子我便跑去布达拉广场冲洗照片，还好二十分钟取像，我可以按时把照片交到小女孩手中了。
傍晚的时候回到旅社的时候刚好看见“八廊学”对面有间网吧。好久没泡网了，看看时间尚早便走了进去。
网吧的人很少找了个位置坐下，开始登录天涯。
几分钟后网吧里的人陆续增多，坐到我身边的那个一个高个子男孩引起我的注意，他熟练的输入ID和密码直奔天涯。
“你也是混天涯的？”我忍不住问他，想不到在拉萨这么遥远的地方也会遇见天涯的网友。
“哦，是的，你也是？”男孩子转过脸来礼貌的同我打招呼。
忽然间，望着那张脸我觉得很面熟。一定在哪里见过他，是我的朋友吗，为什么一时想不起来他是谁。
“你是哪里人？”既然想不出来在哪里见过他，不如问问他是哪里人，没准在哪个城市遇见过。
“我是贵阳人，从上海来的。奇怪，好象在哪里见过您，您是哪里人？。”男孩子端详着我一会儿，突然说我也很面熟,我注意到他言语间的礼貌，喜欢在称呼中用您。
我的反映也强烈起来：“怎么我也有这种感觉，好象以前就见过你一样。可我并没有去过贵阳和上海呀，我是深圳来的”
“好奇怪，我们没可能见过啊，怎么就是觉得面熟”男孩子继续说道。
“可能你象我的某一个同学吧”我们的交谈引起了网吧内其他人的关注，我忽然间脸红起来，开始为这种邂逅找理由。
“你来拉萨几天了，有没有去哪里玩？”男孩子一边上网一边与我闲聊。
“来两天了，只是看了天葬其他的地方还没来得及去，你呢？一个人来的？”我也一边在BBS上浏览一边回应他。
“我约了一个朋友在拉萨汇合。说来也巧我这个朋友也是混天涯的”
“哈，那太巧了，真是天涯何处不相逢了”
“你一个人？”贵阳的男孩子问我可还有其他同行者。
“没有了，就我一个人”我自豪的告诉他，从昆明，大理，丽江，中甸小女子就是一个人走过来的。
“这么历害？”他吓得吐了吐舌头，仿佛遇见了一个女巾帼。
“你们打算去哪儿玩”我问起他们的行程。
他告诉我已经跟一个车主联系好明早去珠峰。并问我有没有兴趣一起同去。
“珠峰？也很好啊？不过明天就走时间太紧了，我想先去那木措。”珠峰固然是好，可我的装备还不够专业，心里虽然想去，嘴上却拒绝了。
网吧的宽带速度很差，几分钟便掉线两三次。我被这种蜗牛式的网速气得要死，索性告别那个男孩，准备出去吃饭。
“嗯，你方便留个电话吗？可能以后我们有相同线路的话再联络”男孩有些害羞的问起我的电话号吗。
“好啊，我叫摩卡。把你的电话也告诉我吧，可能我们在下一站还会遇见”
“我叫散兵”他告诉我电话后又说了他的名字、
“网名？”
"Yes,"
“你的也是？”
“不，笔名”我回答的很老实。
“你住哪里？”散兵在我走出门时又问了一句。
“很近的，这里，八廊学”我向马路对面指了指，马路边很清楚的可以看着我房间的窗子。
“这么巧？我也住八廊学。对对对，我想起来了，两天前你是不是跟一群人坐在走廊里吃饭的？”散兵终于记起我来。
“你怎么知道？”我问他。
“我当时刚好去洗手间，还问你借路，你忘记了？”
“哈，我记得有个人一个劲的跟我说不好意思，原来是你”我也想起来了，他就是我那天在走廊见过觉得面熟的男孩子。
又说了几句客套的话，我告别了他到隔壁去吃饭。
到了饭店，点了一碗汤两样小菜正准备大吃一顿的时候，散兵打来电话。
“摩卡？”
“嗨，是我”
“是这样的，我们的车主临时改变路线，去珠峰的计划泡汤了，想问你有什么好行程没有。”
“我？我的行程还没定呢，你在哪里，我们见面谈吧。”我喝了一口汤向窗外看去，刚好看见站在八廊学门口打电话的他。
“我就在你对面，到网吧旁边的小饭店来吧'” 我挥了挥手，散兵看见了，放好手机便走过来。
“刚点的，要不要一起吃？”我请服务员再拿一套饭筷来，放在他面前，他笑笑说已经吃过了让我慢用。
“珠峰之行怎么说？“我问他“本来是想搭深圳一对夫妇的车走的，没想到他们刚打来电话说对那条线路不太熟悉，取消了珠峰之行“他一副很窝火的样子。也难怪，换子是我，车主失信我同样不高兴。
“要不就跟我一起走吧，我正决定这两天去那木措看看，如果时间允许的话再去珠峰”“我一边吃饭一边劝他，并邀请他跟我同行。
“你定好车了吗？”他问我。
“还没有，要电话联系”我拿出手机找到李勇胜的电话，想联系一下他。
“我问问我朋友在哪里，大家见个面一起商量”散兵也拿出手机打通他朋友的电话。
电话里得知他朋友正跟一个车主交谈去珠峰的事宜，知道我们在八廊学对面吃饭一会儿赶过来。
几分钟后李勇胜，雪康尼马还有一个男孩子一同向饭店的方向走来。
“不会吧，他们怎么会碰到一起。当散兵提着走在后面的那个男孩子说是他朋友时，我惊讶的说。
原来散兵的朋友名叫海涛，他电话里所说的车主就是我想要找的李勇胜。
真是巧上加巧，看现在这情况，我们想不一起走都不成了。
李勇胜见到我们几个凑在一起也很高兴。拿出纸和笔来帮我们设计这次旅途的行程。
等他写完后交给我们看时，我们三人都很满意。在我们看来，大家都是初次进藏，有这么一个熟悉西藏的人带路，实在是件很幸运的事。
定了路线，再定行程，我提议说我们还没有来得及游览拉萨本市，不如明天一天先去布达拉宫的珍宝和听完色拉寺的辩经，后天再走不迟。散兵和海涛双手赞成，于是大家约好明早九点在布达拉广场见面。
