Let me tell you another strange thing.

Chen Xuehan did not know Tibet. After he became a soldier, he came to Tibet. He stayed in Nagqu for more than a year and Motuo for three years, but he was just staying there.

Tibet back then was more difficult than people imagined, but once they got used to it, they often found reasons to stay for themselves.

The same is true for Chen Xuehan. His understanding of Tibet is limited to what he saw, and the reason for staying there was nothing more than getting used to it.

In his eyes, listing everything in Tibet in words is a way to lose sight of the roots and the end. He does not need to understand Tibet, because Tibet is not a concept for him. He likes the place itself, not the name. He does not agree with the visitor who admires the mysterious culture of Tibet. Why come here? The reason is in the fresh and thin air, in the vast snowy mountains, in the snowy wilderness that is as quiet as heaven, not in those exaggerated legends.

In the past few years, he relied on occasionally helping locals to work as a short-term worker, and was a porter to earn a little ghee and mutton. After arriving in Motuo, he opened a shabby restaurant. Those years, he did not have so much money and brain-burning people to come to Tibet to find the meaning of life. Most of his guests were military families who visited relatives and border guards at local soldiers.

The mountains are covered with heavy snow for eight months in the year. The mountains are covered with fierce snow. During the months when the mountains are closed with heavy snow, there are very few guests. He lives alone in the back hall of the restaurant. The tranquility fascinates him, and few people will disturb his tranquility.

He didn't know where his desire to escape from came from. Perhaps it was because he dreamed of standing on the top of a snow-capped mountain when he was a child. It was a kind of extraordinary peace, so he followed it.

However, not every year he can enjoy this tranquility, and that winter was an exception.

That winter seemed very long. Chen Xuehan couldn't remember how many months it had been. He only remembered that it had been snowing for three consecutive days. When he got up in the morning to sweep the snow, he saw a lama standing in front of his restaurant.

This is the lama from Jila Temple. It seems that the name is Zaji. He secretly asked Chen Xuehan for wine in his early years.

Jila Temple is a lama temple on the snow-capped mountains. When Chen Xuehan was a porter, he often went there and was very familiar with the lamas in the temple.

It took half a day to get here from Jila Temple. At that time, it was a little brighter and the snow had not stopped. Zaji was covered with ice flowers, and it was obviously a mountain that was descending at night. Even a lama who was familiar with the mountain road was very dangerous to go down the mountain in the heavy snow. Chen Xuehan thought that something must have happened, which forced him to come down overnight.

The lama seemed to have exhausted all his strength and stood there without any response. Chen Xuehan asked him in a more rigid Tibetan language.

The lama did not answer him, but said, "Please give me a meal, anything is fine, I still have to rush to go."

Chen Xuehan asked him: "Where to go?"

The Lama said, "I'm going to Mapu Temple."

Mapu Temple is a large temple outside Motuo. Chen Xuehan was very surprised because it is extremely dangerous to climb over Xiongla Mountain in this season. Even if there is a very good reason, you should wait until the snow stops and find someone to walk together, otherwise it is easy to encounter a small avalanche, not to mention that the mountain roads in many places are no longer visible at this time.

So Chen Xuehan let the lama into the house, prepared a few barley nests for him, and asked him if something happened in the temple.

The lama secretly asked him for a few pots of wine, and then said, "That's right, Master, I'm going to go to Mapu Temple to tell them that the guest is back."

When Chen Xuehan heard this, he felt very strange: "Guest? Where did the guest come from? What guest?"

How could someone enter Motuo in this season? What's more, it's even more strange to go to a temple on a snow-capped mountain.

The lama shook his head and wrapped the barley nest and said, "I heard from the master that he was a guest from the snow-capped mountains. I don't know who he was."

The Tibetan language of the lama has a strange accent. Chen Xuehan sounds strange and does not taste strange. Zaji must be a foreigner and was sent here by his parents to be a lama. Although Jila Temple is not a big temple, the lamas there are famous wise men in this area. Many people send their sons to this temple in the snow-capped mountains to learn great wisdom.

Guests from the snow-capped mountains may be a secret statement. Many of the lama's words are obscure and have a deep connection.

Chen Xuehan knew that he didn't understand what happened in the temple and asked more questions, so he helped the lama pack up and put wine and food on it.

According to his habit, he accompanied Zaji for a while and helped him carry the package. This is also a way to worship Buddha. Although Chen Xuehan did not believe in Buddhism, he enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere in this way.

The snow was a little smaller, and the Duoxunla Mountain in the distance was white, blending with the gray clouds and sky. This kind of scenery made people feel rippling. They didn't say anything. After listening to the sound of stepping on the snow, after walking for an hour, the lama stopped. Chen Xuehan couldn't help but ask if it was better to find a few villagers to go with him.

The lama smiled at Chen Xuehan and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I will go well." He said in a peaceful manner. Although he was very tired, his heart was filled with joy. After saying that, he bowed to Chen Xuehan, meaning to say goodbye.

Chen Xuehan replied to him, but he was a little confused. What happened in the Lama Temple that made this little lama show such a peaceful expression?

He was a little distracted and watched Zaji go away quietly. Suddenly, the little lama turned around and said something to him.

He didn't understand what that meant. The sentence was blown away in the snow. When he wanted to catch up, the lama had disappeared in the snow, as if it had never existed.
