Chapter 62 Searching for Past and Present Lives
Cheng Jia turned her head, Gao Zhan said to her:
"Let's rest early today, and tomorrow I will take you to Ramla Cuo."

Cheng Jia searched in her memory, she was very unfamiliar with this name.

Gao Zhan saw Cheng Jia's puzzled face, and continued: "I have a friend who works in the LS city government. He used to be one of the secretaries of a country leader working in LS, but after the leader went to BJ, he was still depressed in his original position. Unable to succeed, he went to Ramla Cuo, and found an eminent monk to ask him, but the eminent monk saw him, said a word, and left."

"What did you say?" Cheng Jia asked eagerly.

Gao Zhan said slowly: "Go to the side!"

Cheng Jia couldn't help laughing out loud, and said:
"It's hard for him to run so far and spend so much time!"

Gao Zhan went on to say: "He told me later that he was so angry at that moment, he was out of breath! Later, over the years, he gradually realized that the eminent monk gave him the answer. XZ is located in the southwestern border of the motherland, and his home and location are "on one side." go"!"

Cheng Jia suddenly realized and nodded, "I see! It's the legendary lake where you can see past and present lives, isn't it?"

Gao Zhan nodded with a smile.

In the evening, Cheng Jia went to bed early, and Gao Zhan prepared an oxygen bag, anti-reflex medicine and other supplies.They set off early the next day.

When Gao Zhan was in the middle of driving, he specially asked the driver to go to the Mira Mountain watershed.

Mila Mountain is also known as "Jiage Jiangzong", which means "Shenren Mountain". The LS River system and the Niyang River system flowing eastward have thus become sacred mountains in the minds of local Tibetans.

When Cheng Jia got out of the car, she staggered and almost fell.

Gao Zhan quickly grabbed her.

"Take some oxygen! Your lips are not the right color again?"

Cheng Jia waved his hand.

The surrounding mountains are not as steep as near LS, and the mountains are relatively gentle.The white clouds in the sky are like a mountain hat, clinging to the top of the mountain, giving Cheng Jia the illusion that a piece can be torn off by reaching out.She said to Gao Zhan:

"We have come to heaven!"

Gao Zhan looked at her a little nervously, took out a few anti-high anti-reflex medicines, and gave them to Cheng Jia, and then he and the driver also took a few tablets.

A cloud passed by, and Cheng Jia felt that it was raining, and stretched out his hand to catch it, only to see faint snowflakes.She couldn't help sighing:

"It's raining and snowing, it's a super capricious place!"

After speaking, she excitedly ran to the grassland ahead.

Gao Zhan called her from behind: "Cheng Jia! Slow down!"

Cheng Jia turned a deaf ear to it, and looked far into the distance. Under the green hills in the distance, the flat grassland was very vast, which made her feel very comfortable just looking at it. A yak was grazing leisurely. When it saw Cheng Jia jumping up and down and dancing, it just raised its head casually, and then ignored it.

Cheng Jia came to a small stream, looked at the clear water, couldn't help the excitement and curiosity in her heart, took a handful and drank it - cool and sweet, she wanted to drink more, but was slapped away by Gao Zhan who caught up .

Cheng Jia stood up angrily: "What are you doing?"

Gao Zhan's lips were bruised because of chasing her. He panted and said, "Cheng Jia, what do I say to you? This water has too many minerals, so you can't drink it!"

"Didn't you say it's natural and pollution-free? Tibetans also drink it!"

Cheng Jia retorted.

"Tibetans drink it every day, and they have already adapted to it! If you go back and have a bad stomach, don't think I will take care of you!"

Cheng Jia snorted and stopped drinking.

The two of them stood side by side, looking at the distant scenery.

Cheng Jia said: "As the saying goes, there are rivers and seas that do not reject the trickle. This is true. Such a small stream and pool are actually one of the sources of the raging LS River?"

Gao Zhan didn't speak, his heart was pounding, and his feet were soft, like stepping on a carpet.He chased after Cheng Jia just now, but when he stood still, he realized that he was very uncomfortable. He didn't want Cheng Jia to worry, so he kept his expression on the surface.

On a creek in the distance, there is a wooden stick, and a large Tibetan robe is fixed under the wooden stick.Cheng Jia asked, "What is this for? Don't you want it?"

"People are washing clothes! Use the water to wash and let the clothes wash clean by themselves!"

Cheng Jia felt nauseous.

"Then I drank water just now!"

Gao Zhan looked like he deserved it, and said with a smile:
"Do you regret it? It's okay, you were just upstream!"

Cheng Jia looked at it, and the feeling of nausea in her heart eased a lot. She complained to Gao Zhan:
"Why don't you pull me, if I happen to be downstream, I will definitely not be able to eat for a few days, and their clothes don't know how long it takes to wash them. Why do you put the clothes here? Don't they also drink the water here?"

Gao Zhan looked unbelievable, frowned and said to Cheng Jia:

"Why are you unreasonable! You got out of the car and ran away like a rabbit! I couldn't even catch up with you, and now you still have the face to blame me?

The clothes are fine!Some Tibetans don’t kill yaks, and when the yaks die, they are buried in the sky and return to nature. It depends on whether you have a long memory! "

When Cheng Jia heard it, her heart sank, she looked up and saw the ox horns hanging by the river, thinking that Gao Zhan might not have scared her, she immediately regretted it.

Just as she opened her mouth to say something, she suddenly noticed Gao Zhan's darkened lips, and she didn't care to talk back to him.

"Let's go back! Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

Gao Zhan nodded: "Isn't it all your fault? Running so fast made me anxious!"

Cheng Jia hurriedly supported him to walk back. Sometimes the stronger the body, the harder it is for people to adapt to the plateau. Maybe it is because their lung capacity is larger, so it is more difficult to adjust.

Gao Zhan started inhaling oxygen as soon as he got back into the car, and his lips became much redder in less than 10 minutes.

Cheng Jia breathed a sigh of relief, regretting that she was too impatient just now, Gao Zhan held his hand, motioned her to rest assured, and then gave Cheng Jia a share of oxygen.

The car turned around and continued to go to Ramlacuo, Cheng Jia put his hand in Gao Zhan's palm and looked out the window.

There are prayer flags fluttering in the wind everywhere, floating in the misty mountains, like colorful hada dedicated to heaven.Looking around, the green grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, open and boundless, and the mountains in the distance, the clouds between the mountains are connected, integrated, and inseparable.

Cheng Jia's mind immediately echoed the loud, high-pitched, and distant singing of the Tibetan people, like snow-capped mountains, like the sound of nature...

After driving for more than five hours, they arrived at Ramla Co.

To go to Shenhu Lake, people usually go to the viewing platform.It is 5300 meters above sea level, 200 meters higher than the lake surface, and you can see the panorama of Shenhu Lake.But instead of turning right at the fork, they headed straight for Voka Springs.

There are few cars on this road. On both sides of the road, there are lakes dotted with melted snow. Cheng Jia even found a small crescent-shaped lake.

She excitedly called Gao Zhan to watch.

Gao Zhan inhaled oxygen for a while, and his mind was very clear at the moment. He looked at the small lake that Cheng Jia was pointing at, and thought that her excited look was prettier than that lake, so he couldn't help but kiss Cheng Jia's cheek.

Cheng Jia wiped it vigorously, "I'll let you see the lake! Why are you kissing me? You missed such a beautiful scenery!"

Gao Zhan smiled contentedly and said softly:
"I have seen a lot of beautiful scenery, and the little fairy saw you alone! The scenery is beautiful, but the most important thing is not the scenery, but the mood of seeing the scenery and the people who accompany you. It is enough to have a beautiful woman by your side. It’s the icing on the cake—one point more is not much, and one point less is not much!”

Cheng Jia smiled sweetly, she liked to hear these words very much.

The car walked about [-] kilometers on the gravel road, and saw the criss-crossing prayer flags.

"God Lake is here!" Gao Zhan shouted.

They walked a section of the rocky beach road, turned over a small gentle slope, and saw Shenhu Lake.

This is a horseshoe-shaped lake with an area of ​​only about two square kilometers, which is in great contrast to Cheng Jia's vast and boundless imagination.

Ramlaco is the most legendary lake in XZ. "Lam" means fairy and goddess, "La" means lake surface, and "Lam Lacuo" means "auspicious Tianmu Lake" and "Shengmu Lake" in Tibetan.Also known as Qiongguojie Lake.

"Is it really possible to see past and present lives here?"

Cheng Jia was a little skeptical.

"The so-called past and present lives are all in our own hearts, you go and try?"

Gao Zhan looked at Cheng Jia with a smile.

When they came to the edge of the lake, the lake was full of scraped prayer flags, covered with layers, and the water gradually changed from yellow on the edge to blue, until it reached bottomless blue in the middle of the lake.Cheng Jia felt that the blue was too deep, as if it contained countless mysteries.

They didn't speak, just stared at the lake quietly.A gust of wind passed by, ripples appeared on the surface of the lake, the whole lake seemed to shake, and the reflection of the white clouds in the sky became more and more unreal.

Cheng Jia's heart gradually calmed down. She looked at the lake intently. The lake was very blue that day, with white clouds floating in the blue sky. A huge willow tree stood beside the road. There were several forked roads in front of her. white light.

Cheng Jia suddenly turned around, how could there be willow trees on the lake?She took a closer look and saw the branches of the willow tree shaking and slowly disappearing.

Cheng Jia opened his mouth and stared at Gao Zhan who was still focusing on the lake.

Gao Zhan realized that Cheng Jia was looking at him and turned his head.

"What did you see?" Gao Zhan asked her.

"I saw willows and many forks!

Is this past life or this life? "

Gao Zhan repeated Cheng Jia's words, thoughtfully.

Then he went on to say, "I didn't see anything, I just saw the lake!"

Cheng Jia was a little excited, "Am I too tired, did I have a dream just now?"

Gao Zhan ignored what she said, thinking about the willow tree and the forked road that Cheng Jia said.

They were sitting by the lake to rest, and the driver wisely went to pick up stones nearby.

Gao Zhan murmured: "Past life and present life! Past life and present life! Cheng Jia, maybe we were destined to meet, so despite our past lives, I fell in love with you right away!"

"Probably so! In the previous life, you were my maid, and I later asked to marry Miss Qianjin. You committed suicide in anger, so in this life, you come to me to renew your relationship..."

Cheng Jia was talking nonsense in all seriousness.

Gao Zhan laughed.

"Cheng Jia! I really admire you, why are you not a housekeeper, let me be?"

"Let's change! I am a woman in this life, and you were a woman in the last life. That's only fair!"

The corner of Cheng Jia's mouth was smiling, her face was a little red, her lips were dry and white due to the wind, but her eyes were shining brightly and full of curiosity.

"Come here!" Gao Zhan waved his hand.

Cheng Jia obediently sat in his arms.

"Husband, what do you mean by the willow tree and the forked road? Am I hallucinating or is it an oracle for me?"

Gao Zhan kept silent, holding Cheng Jia in his arms and looking at the lake in the distance.The prayer flags behind made uninterrupted sounds, like low roars, flapping sounds, music sounds, and also like the whispering voices of goddesses.

Confucius said: "When you are fifty, you know the destiny." Gao Zhan doesn't know what his destiny is?He is a very practical person, he hugged Cheng Jia tightly in his arms.

Anonymous said: "You spent half your life in this fork in the road, holding a red umbrella; I went up and asked: Girl, who are you waiting for?" I was waiting for the person who came up and asked." I didn't understand until many years later , that girl who is always at a fork in the road and holding a red umbrella is my past and present."

Cheng Jia—Is there me in your fork?
