My Captain - Chapter 54

    The B&B booked by Yan An and Shen Tian is near Barkhor Street, and you can see the Potala Palace when the window of the room is opened.

    Shen Tian’s annual leave has three days, but the application was rushed, and only two days were approved, so this trip to Tibet, Shen Tian came today, and the day after tomorrow, Shen Tian said: “I Come and walk in a circle, you who hold a long vacation in your hand, do you want to follow me to have a good luck and leave?”

    Yan An thought about it for a while: “Play for two days, let nature take its course, and then count.”

    National Day is the last peak season for entering Tibet in a year. After the National Day, it enters the off-season. At this time, there are few people in Barkhor Street after three o’clock in the afternoon. It’s a casual look.

    Neither Yan An nor Shen Tian did any strategy. At this time, both of them were women who were entering Tibet for the first time. They were all curious as they walked aimlessly on the street. When I was taking pictures of Tibetan clothes, I couldn’t help but take a second look when I walked by.

    The tourism is off-season and the business is also weak. The photographer who takes the photo mainly relies on the commission. This will see the two girls, Yan An and Shen Tian, ​​with the words I am interested brightly on their faces. After finishing the shooting of a suit, he took the initiative to solicit business.

    Photographer: “Does the girl want to take a photo? If two people take pictures, now the second person can get 50% off.”

    The photographer pointed to a store on the opposite corner of the street: “In the past, you had to make an appointment at least a week in advance. Now it’s off-season, there are fewer people, it’s easy to take pictures, and there are discounts.” The man turned the camera in his hand to a few Zhang Ke’s photo is really good-looking, “My name is Darcy, you can go to the store and appoint me to take it for you.”

    Shen Tian asked Yan An whether to take pictures? Yan An said he could go and have a look.

    When they arrived at the store, a girl just changed her clothes and was about to make up. Make sure the two don’t know each other.

    Yan An and Shen Tian soon decided to shoot and paid for it. Yan An asked if there was a photographer named Darcy, and they wanted to appoint him to shoot.

    Boss: “What happened to Darcy today, the popularity is so strong, that girl also appointed Darcy to shoot, the three of you have the same package, you can shoot together, but the time is definitely longer than one person. Chang, do you want to change a photographer?”

    The girl who was putting on makeup was traveling alone. When she heard the three of them talking, she turned her head and said, “I don’t mind waiting for a while, why don’t we go together? It’s good to have a company.”

    Yan An and Shen Tian looked at each other and said with a smile!

    Yan An sat in front of the mirror and had her make up and blush was applied to her cheekbones and cheeks. Yan An took a photo of Shan Yi and sent it to her.

    In the photo, Yan An changed into a Tibetan dress, a wide and long woolen skirt, a colorful thick shawl on her shoulders, and a pair of Tibetan cloth shoes on her feet. She wears a string of long silver earrings handmade by Tibetans, with colorful hair ropes on her head, orange eye shadow, and orange blush, like a strangely beautiful Tibetan woman.

    Yan An put down the phone after sending it. Looking at this time, Shan Yi’s return flight had already started boarding. The man probably turned off his phone long ago, but at this moment, the The phone just vibrated.

    Shan Yi: Do you know what this set you are wearing means in Tibetan?

    Yan An: You haven’t shut down yet?

    Shan Yi: Getting ready to close.

    Yan An: What is the origin of my clothes?

    Shan Yi: It is a Tibetan wedding dress.

    Yan An was surprised and very interesting.

    Yan An asked Shan Yi: Does it look good?

    Shan Yi: Yes.

    Yan An smiled.

    Shan Yi: It’s the lack of a group photo.

    Yan An: Model **** service is provided here.

    Shan Yi: You can try.

    The makeup artist who put makeup on Yan An turned Yan An’s head upright: “Beauty, let’s stop laughing for now, I’ll draw you eyeliner, I’ll draw it crooked later.”

    Shen Tian was already wearing makeup, saving a lot of steps, now Yan An is still messing with her hair, the other party is already healed. Another girl was taking pictures with her in front of the mirror in the store, and then they chatted and waited for Yan An.

    The girl’s name is Luo Xiaojun. She just resigned a month ago. After finishing the resignation procedures, she came to Tibet by herself. She has been here for almost two weeks. After I arrived in Lhasa, I stayed in Lhasa for two more days and then went back. On the 1st of next month, I will join the new company.

    Shen Tian said, “I am also on the plane the day after tomorrow, leaving at four o’clock in the afternoon.”

    Luo Xiaojun: “I am also on the plane at 4pm the day after tomorrow, where are you flying?”

    Shen Tian: “North City.”

    Luo Xiaojun: “What a coincidence! Me too!”

    Yan An, who was braiding her hair, heard it and said bluntly, “Isn’t this fate?”

    Yan An did not know much about makeup and hair, and the three girls wore Tibetan clothes with their own characteristics. Even the photographer praised: “I haven’t photographed such a beautiful light for a long time. You are the most beautiful girl I have photographed recently.”

    The photo was finished the next day. At this time, the boss picked a photo for each of the three and used the photo printer in the store to print it out as a souvenir.

    Yan An looked at the photo in Shen Tian’s hand. In the photo, Shen Tian had a sweet smile, the light was falling from the angle of elevation, Shen Tian’s eyes were full of light, and Yan An was full of smiles.

    Yan An turned around and hugged each other: “My girl, you are so beautiful.”

    Three sets of photos of the three of them captured the sunset west. After changing their clothes, the three of them went to eat together. Luo Xiaojun said that there is a restaurant that eats Tibetan food. Singing, the wine is also delicious.

    Yan An and Shen Tian agreed immediately: “Let’s go, you lead the way, have a good drink tonight.”

    Three women walked through the streets in this strange city, and in the evening, the three turned into a small restaurant.

    The three of them didn’t order much, and they all tacitly left their stomachs for the wine later.

    Just after eight o’clock, the empty plates on the table for the three were taken away, the table was cleaned, and the Tibetans in the restaurant replaced the three with a wine list.

    The wine list was all in Tibetan, which they could not understand. The translated words in the line below were inaccurate. The three of them blindly ordered a glass of wine.

    When the wine came up, a Tibetan folk song rang out in the restaurant. The waiter introduced it to them. The song was called “The Lover’s Ballad”. 19 years old.

    Everyone was surprised.

    The waiter said that Sanji had a dream of singing and came here to sing after graduating from high school. The restaurant suffered serious losses back then. Come, sing for two years.

    The small restaurant changes from a restaurant to a bar when the singing starts. The interior of the store is gorgeous and the surrounding is a distinct Tibetan style.

    The man holding the guitar on the stage tickled his head and wore a beaded earring on his ear. His facial features were three-dimensional. He hardly looked at the guests below, and only concentrated on singing. This man has a youthful and simple temperament, but his voice is deep and hoarse, with the feeling of an old-fashioned rock band.

    The singing voice in the pub tells a story. The people on the stage look like a man who has experienced vicissitudes of life, but who would have thought that this man was only 19 years old, and then he passed the guitar here two years.

    Yan An sighed, and said to Shen Tian: “I was only a sophomore in high school when I was 17 years old, and I was divided into arts and science classes, and I just met you. At that time, we deserted in class and went to see handsome guys after class. There’s no such thing as a dream.”

    Shen Tian smiled, and seemed to remember those high school days, which were far away and full.

    Yan An asked Luo Xiaojun: “Did you have anything shocking at the age of 17?”

    Luo Xiaojun laughed: “I go to school when I go to school, and I have to go to a tutoring class after school. I was so terrified that one day I pretended to have a stomachache and escaped the tutoring class to go to the playground to watch the basketball game after graduating from high school.”

    All three were laughing.

    But Luo Xiaojun added: “But I know a man, his 17-year-old is different from our general public. He has been crying every day since he was 17 years old. “

    Luo Xiaojun spoke with a smile and sweetness, and Yan An immediately understood that the dog food was coming.

    Luo Xiaojun smiled at the expressions of the two: “My man is a soldier, he is a soldier guarding the border.”

    The two who were ready to eat dog food suddenly paused in surprise.

    Luo Xiaojun said that when she came to Tibet, she originally wanted to meet the other party, but in the end she didn’t.

    Yan An and Shen Tian suddenly put on another expression, what a beautiful love, dreamy and realistic, a kind of long-term waiting and concern.

    The two cheered for the love of the future military sister-in-law. Yan An said: “My man was also a soldier before. If you do the math, he joined the army at 17, but he is now retired.”

    Luo Xiaojun was surprised by the fate of the two: “What kind of soldier is he?”

    Yan An smiled proudly: “He used to be in the Air Force.”

    Luo Xiaojun’s eyes brightened: “Air Force!”

    Luo Xiaojun said: “Do you still remember the typhoon in Ganchuan? My parents and my relatives were rescued by the air force that came to rescue.”

    The typhoon in Ganchuan that year Luo Xiaojun still talks about the typhoon: “The typhoon came suddenly, when I was in college, my family suddenly lost contact, I watched news reports every day, and went to get out of class Look, after class, I hope to see in the report that my family is still safe.”

    Luo Xiaojun thinks of those days, and still feels scared: “Fortunately, they are all safe. In my mind, the Air Force is a hero who can go to heaven and earth.”

    Yan An raised her eyes to look at her because of Luo Xiaojun’s words, her eyes were fixed, her eyes were smiling, and she was full of pride: “Yes, they are all heroes.”

    Luo Xiaojun talked about the time and said: “I was reading the news at that time, an air force was soaked in the yellow muddy water, the water spread to the chin, and the people stepped on him to climb the rope ladder of the helicopter and transfer to a safe area. “

    Yan An was stunned subconsciously.

    Luo Xiaojun continued: “It was raining heavily at that time, the man kept squatting in the water, lifted the victims one by one, let people step on their shoulders, sent them up the rope ladder one by one, and finally When the helicopter was full, he let the plane go first and stayed where he was.”

    Luo Xiaojun suddenly thought of something: “Oh, yes, that Air Force is now the captain of Beihang.”

    Shen Tian, ​​who was listening all the way, looked at Yan An instantly.

    Yan An remembered why she felt familiar when she saw Luo Xiaojun in the photo shop, because she had really met.

    In Xinyeli, when Shen Tian ran to the bathroom, the men and women at the next table talked about the topic of being a soldier, she was when a girl talked about Ganchuan. The table looked over.

    Luo Xiaojun said at this time: “The captain was very young when he retired, and now he looks only in his 20s or 30s. I chatted with my boyfriend about this, his buddy My son was the Air Force. He also asked curiously. He heard that the other party took the initiative to apply for early retirement. At that time, the team did not approve it at first, but finally approved it. The specific reason is not clear, but my boyfriend’s buddy Said, it may have something to do with the disaster relief in Kanchuan.”

    Yan An frowned slightly, expressing confusion.

    Luo Xiaojun said: “In that typhoon, I heard that a plane crashed when the Air Force made a forced landing on the way to rescue and sacrificed a colonel. He was supposed to fly, but because the helicopter was full, he stayed where he was, so he changed people temporarily.”

    Yan An’s heart was beating for it.

    The lover’s ballad has been changed a long time ago. At this time, Sanji was singing in a low voice on the stage, like a mantra in the mouth of a pilgrim. Sanji closed his eyes and his voice was sad. , those low-pitched Tibetan words sound like a mantra to people’s ears.

    Yan An went to Tibet again as a tourist after many years, the tavern is still there, but the singer on the stage has changed, but it happened to be the same song.

    At that time, Yan An knew that the song sung by this young man named Sanji was called “Mourning”.

    No wonder the figure of her father suddenly came to mind.

    Luo Xiaojun said: “I always feel that life and death are far away from me, but for them, maybe not. For them, life and death may be a common thing in military affairs.”

    Luo Xiaojun: “They entrust their lives to the motherland in every mission, but they don’t say it every time. They are the most real men.”

    The three stayed in the tavern until after ten o’clock that day, Luo Xiaojun said goodbye to the two at the entrance of the tavern, and they parted ways when Shen Tian went to the airport together on Sunday.

    Shen Tian started to feel dizzy before returning to the hotel. When she returned to the hotel, she started to have headaches, which worsened. Yan An immediately rented an oxygen inhaler from the hotel. Live on oxygen.

    Shen Tian still had a headache after waking up, but the symptoms were mild and not in the way.

    The time they made an appointment to go to the Potala Palace was in the afternoon, and they simply ordered takeaway at the hotel for their lunch.

    Shen Tian got up and went to take a quick shower. When they came out, the takeaway had just arrived. The two sat at the small dining table. —-? Zhuang Yan’an: “Did you know what Luo Xiaojun said last night?”

    Yan An shook her head.

    Shan Yi rarely talks about the Air Force. The only time that Yan An asked him to tell her about the days when he joined the army was in the courtyard of Zhou An’s old house.

    It didn’t involve any topic on the mission. At that time, Shan Yi told her that there was a lieutenant colonel in the pair, and that lieutenant colonel had a well-behaved daughter. Later, the lieutenant colonel was promoted to colonel.

    The typhoon in Ganchuan happened at the beginning of the school year, the typhoon passed, and the heavy rain lasted for nearly a month, and the rescue work was synchronized with the rain.

    At that time, Wenli had just been divided into classes, Yan An and Shen Tian had just met. Ann did not deliberately tell anyone that her father was an air force and a hero who died in the disaster.

    So at this time, Shen Tian didn’t know the origin of Shan Yi and Yan An’s father, but sighed: “Captain Dan is really handsome, handsome, and low-key, and there is no fault at all.”

    Yan An: “There are still some.”

    Shen Tian “Huh?” “Like?”

    Yan An: “My dad said that being a man is about perseverance, and being a man is about being honest.”

    In November, Tibet enters a severe cold season.

    It is said that spring is slow in Tibet, summer is fast, autumn is fleeting, and winter is long. Tibet has entered winter as early as October, and in November, it is deep winter.

    The flight routes to Tibet from various places have been reduced by more than half. After returning to Beicheng that day, Shan Yi made an international flight the next day. The round trip was six days, and there was a six-hour time difference with the East Eighth District.

    On the third day of arriving in Lhasa, Shen Tian got up early in the morning, went to visit the city with Yan An again, then met with Luo Xiaojun and took a taxi to the airport.

    After Yan An came out of the tavern, she decided to stay here and use the remaining 17 days to walk around Tibet.

    Shen Tian told her to be careful before getting into the car, and Yan An told her to be at ease. When she was abroad, she walked countless places by herself.

    The two embrace and say goodbye.

    After Shen Tian left, Shan Yi’s flight hadn’t landed yet, and Yan An went shopping by herself.

    Tibet tours around the north-south line every day. Now in the off-season, there are many vacancies. Yan An is not in a hurry. She has not made a reservation yet. At this time, she is planning to go to the local travel house. At the rental car shop, Yan An stopped.

    In the off-season tourism, the car rental business is also weak, the owner of the car rental store saw Yan An standing at the door, his eyes swept to the parked car outside the store, he came out and asked: “Girl, do you want to rent a car? “

    Yan An spent a few seconds thinking, then nodded while touching his chin, and asked, “What car do you have here?”

    The boss recommended to her: “Prado, Wrangler, and Pajero V97 are the most popular choices. For those who do not require much power, the Highlander is enough, and the space is also large, and it is comfortable to drive.”

    The boss asked Yan An: “How many people do you have?”

    Yan An: “One person.”

    The boss was surprised: “Just you? Do you take the 318 ring road or go to Linzhi?”

    Yan An said that it is not yet decided, but it should be a big circle.

    In a big circle, the boss defaulted that Yan An was taking the loop line: “As long as you take the loop line, you have to take the washboard road, and Prado is the best.”

    Yan An thought about it and asked the boss: “Is there a car rental here?”

    The boss thought the girl was joking: “…?”

    Boss: “Everyone who drives a motorcycle into Tibet has a fleet. Even if it is himself, the car has been changed. No car rental shop you go to here can rent this thing.”

    Yan An is a pity, at the time she drove her small car, running across mountains and seas in spring, summer, autumn and winter, free and unrestrained.

    Yan An thought for a while, and then asked, “Is there a pickup truck?” She described to the boss, “It’s like sitting in front of people, pulling goods in the back, and adding diesel.”

    The boss was amused: “Of course I know what a pickup is.”

    Yan An: “My requirements are very simple, an ordinary pickup truck, with off-road tires, reinforced chassis shock absorbers, and a 2.0t engine. Oh yes, there must be navigation.”

    The boss looked at the little girl with his arms crossed and suddenly felt that this girl was a little interesting.

    A girl travels to Tibet a lot by herself, but most of them choose to carpool or join a group, even chartered cars are few, and it is not impossible to drive by themselves, but he has been a car rental here for almost eight years, and at most he will encounter I have been to Nyingchi by car, and at most I will go around Mount Everest and come back. There are other more awesome ones. They start from their own city by motorcycle, join the team after entering Tibet, and go to the Ali Ring Road together, or transfer to Xinjiang.

    But he hasn’t met a girl yet, she is white and fair, and he asks him if he has a motorcycle, no? Is there a pickup truck? She wants to drive a pickup truck around Tibet in a big circle.

    Boss: “Your request, no matter how much money you have, it is not easy to rent.”

    Yan Annuzui.

    The boss continued: “Ruiqi pickup, 2013 model, 2.2T diesel two-wheel drive, last month someone put a car out of my place, 20,000 yuan, everything is fine, It’s just a manual transmission.”

    Boss: “You can think about it, buy it and I’ll change it for you, four off-road tires, plus a navigation and better shock absorbers, it’s only a few thousand, I look at you, this girl is interesting , you won’t be charged for labor.”

    Yan An raised her eyebrows instantly: “I’ll come back and put it back with you, okay?”

    The boss laughed: “Yes, it depends on how much you want.”

    Yan Anxin thought that the deal was not a loss, so she readily agreed.

    Boss: “Okay, let’s pick up the car the day after tomorrow.”

    It was already late at night on Yan An’s side when Shan Yi’s flight landed.

    Yan An is not clingy, but expressing her feelings is always direct and enthusiastic, so Yan An’s emotional changes are easily discovered by Shan Yi.

    The two were on the phone, Yan An was telling Shan Yi that she had bought a pickup in Lhasa, changed the tires and suspension, and she was going to drive it around Tibet by herself.

    Shan Yi on the other end of the phone smiled when he heard the words, and after confirming that there was GPS in the car, he reminded Yan An to fill up a bottle of medical oxygen and put it in the car, and then gave her advice on the route .

    Yan An feels that this man is really the man who suits her the most in the world, which is a kind of soul fit.

    It’s a pity that this man is not honest.

    At the end of the phone call, Yan An told Shan Yi that she had met someone who was popular in Lhasa.

    Shan Yi was a little interested, and asked her: “Why are you destined?”

    Yan An said: “The person who has a predestined relationship said that her lover protects the family and the country, and it is very precious, and the most important thing to get along with a lover who is less and more distant is honesty.”

    Yan An’s words never turn around, go straight, straight to the bottom, but at this time Yan An’s words are like a wave that has turned a corner, setting off a wave, still refreshing, but can’t find the bottom .

    Shan Yi’s receiver was next to her ear, Yan An’s voice was hearty, but the words stopped, and Shan Yi raised her eyebrows.

    Shan Yi: “What do you want to know about me?”

    Yan An: “It’s boring to ask.”

    Shan Yi on the other end of the phone paused and called her: “Yan An.”

    Yan An: “Why?”

    Shan Yi: “Let’s meet and talk.”

    Yan An picked up the car the next day, an ordinary gray pickup with a lot of wear and tear on the outside of the car, and a dent in the buttocks of the goods, but Yan An doesn’t care about these , the sand and gravel will leave marks when scratched, Yan An feels vicissitudes and handsome.

    Yan An threw the suitcase on the back seat, and immediately went up and turned on the engine to go over it.

    The boss said that the GPS installed for her helped her to add all the landmarks on the ring line, so that she could follow this landmark, which is not wrong.

    The boss saw her a woman walking around the circle, GPS got her a good product, let her bind an account later, share the account, and synchronize GPS positioning.

    Yan An feels that meeting a noble person when she goes out indicates that the journey will not be bad.

    Yan An then went to buy a large iron can of medical oxygen, also threw it in the back seat, and then went to buy supplies.

    Yan An bought a whole set of camping equipment, and then carried two boxes of mineral water, one box of instant noodles, and two large pieces of dry food. When she was done, she went to the pharmacy to pick up a box of various medicines. , throwing a whole brain into the car.

    Finally got into the driver’s seat and threw a GPS at Shan Yi’s phone.

    Shan Yi told Yan An that it would be a pity to go to Tibet and not enter Ali.

    Yan An swiped between the points on the GPS, the car dealership owner gave her a complete set of points, Yan An pointed to each landmark, just circled Ali in a big circle, and finally Back in Lhasa, Yan An smiled with satisfaction.

    At this time, Yan An had everything ready, and couldn’t help but rang the horn and announced the official start of this trip to Tibet with a sense of ceremony.

    November.

    There are few people and cars on National Highway 318. Passing through Yanghu Lake and passing the glacier, I stayed in Shigatse for one night and went to Saga the next day.

    In the past two days, Yan An’s circle of friends has been wonderful.

    On the way from Zhitu Temple to Yanghu Lake, there is a 20-kilometer Gobi Desert. Yan An is driving her pickup truck like crazy.

    Yan An rented a drone before departure, and the drone took pictures of Yan An’s two pickups running wild.

    In the shot, the place where the silver pickup passed was dusty, and the driver was extremely wild on the silent Gobi Desert.

    Then Yan An drove the pickup all the way to the edge of Yanghu Lake, moved a camping chair to sit facing the lake, and asked Tibetans at the scenic spot to help her take a photo.

    Yan An’s video photos are posted in turn, as long as Shan Yi brushes at will, it is Yan An’s figure wandering freely in Tibet.

    Shan Yi clicked on the photo of the back by the Yanghu Lake.

    The wind was very strong by the lake, and Yan An’s short hair was blown like an arrogant lion.

    The pickup truck full of rough marks was parked next to her, crawling quietly like a battle-hardened beast.

    One person and one car are wild.

    It was afternoon when Yan An arrived in Dingri, got out of the car, and ate at a restaurant on the roadside, and encountered a few FITs, with Yan An’s temperament, he quickly got together a table.

    The other party said that they would set off for the base camp after eating, hoping that the cloud in the sky would disperse quickly, and wanted to take a look at the Sunshine Jinshan.

    The weather today is not very beautiful, the clouds are thick and the fog is heavy, the car is like floating in a fairyland on the national road, the mountain peaks are hidden in the fog, the road does not know where the end is, meteorology is learning to fly During the class, Yan An felt that this cloud should not be able to disperse today.

    After a few FITs left, Yan An stayed in Tingri. On the third day of Yan An’s stay in Tingri, it was a sunny day.

    Yan An picked a leeward rock on the Everest Base Camp and sat down, breathing portable oxygen while looking at the Rizhao Jinshan.

    Yan An smiled instantly.

    At this time, a girl also came over and sat down. This is probably the only place that can block the wind a little.

    The girl also seemed to come alone. She sat on another stone and stared at the mountain in the distance quietly and intently. The wind in her ears was strong, and Yan An felt that the person in front of her was as quiet as painting.

    Then Yan An was stunned. She took it out in her pocket and handed it to the other party: “Do you need a tissue? Just one more.”

    The girl took it and smiled at Yan An. Yan An thought this girl was really beautiful.

    Yan An: “Your expression looks very happy.”

    Girl: “Well, I’m thinking of my lover.”

    Yan An was a little surprised, but didn’t ask him why he was crying.

    Love is probably the strangest thing in the world, she can make people laugh, make people cry, make people crazy, can make people calm, but can not make people forget.

    Yan An also thought of Shan Yi at this time.

    Shan Yi returned to Beicheng today. After leaving the hotel, he and a group of crew set off for the airport.

    At this moment, Shan Yi’s phone vibrated, interrupting the conversation with the co-pilot.

    Yan An: I will send you a golden Mount Everest.

    Shan Yi smiled.

    The co-pilot asked Shan Yi, why is he in such a good mood?

    Shan Yi: “Rizhao Jinshan.”

    The co-pilot raised his eyebrows, the two walked side by side, and asked casually, where is the single captain going for the next vacation?

    Shan Yi replied to the person on the other end of the phone, and then said, “Next, I have to go after my ancestors.”
