Zhou Hui and Chu He took their brother-in-law Zhang Shun from Beijing to Tibet that night, arrived in Lhasa the next day, and then went to Wangjia Snow Mountain, where the k7350 train mysteriously disappeared. .

Entering Tibet in the air is more likely to trigger altitude sickness than entering Tibet by rail. Zhang Shun originally thought that his brother’s body, which was riddled with holes, would definitely not be able to resist it. Unexpectedly, it was him who started to dizzy first. Zhang Ershao hugged the airport trash can and vomited for a long time, only to be dragged away by Zhou Hui limply by the back leader. While dragging, he smiled at the airport security guard who came after hearing the news: “Sorry, sorry, this kid has been a little kid since childhood. Stupid, there’s no way, the uncle who came with me when we got married…”

The delicate and frail Zhang Ershao took a car from Lhasa to Larilang, lying on his elder brother’s lap like a gossamer, which made Zhou Hui very upset. Zhou Hui’s venomous tongue wasn’t covered up, so he took the time to sneer and sarcastically: “How do you silly kid, telling you not to come and follow me? Now I know that it’s not easy to be a literary youth?”

Zhang Shun: “You shut up…”

“Tsk tusk, what can you do about it? Or find you a traveler inn and throw it in. You may have a nest with the girl in the inn in two years. Hahahaha—”

Zhang Shun: “Shut up…”

Zhou Hui gloated, and twisted his waist like Li Hu: “Come hit me, come hit me!”

Zhang Shun didn’t have the strength to move his little finger, and only felt that he had been stabbed by the screaming beast a thousand times.

After arriving at Larilang, Zhang Shun found out that it was not a beast that had stolen him, but an elephant.

La Rilang was originally a very remote and small place. Even the donkeys did not come. The local train only stopped every three days. After the k7350 disappeared, the local Tibetans felt that it was because the gods and buddhas had brought their grievances, and they went to the railroad tracks to kowtow and worship. The local government was afraid that something might happen, so the train diverted to not pass through here.

So Zhou Hui asked the local fellow who rented a broken second-hand car, bought food and water, and prepared to drive from Lajlang to the upper station, searching for suspicious traces around the railway line along the way.

The snowy mountain road is rugged and the railway line is okay, but this small broken car that creaks as soon as it drives is really upside-down, and the brakes don’t work. Zhang Shun couldn’t even step on the brake pads at all, so Zhou Hui and Chu He could only alternately drive, and he continued to vomit dimly on the back seat.

What hits his self-esteem even more is that Chuhe, who was originally thought to be bound to fall, has nothing to do with him-his pale face in Beijing is still pale on the Tibetan plateau, and he has not improved. It hasn’t changed. It seems that he has taken care of himself and his physical condition has not changed at all because of the external environment.

In the evening, they came to a plain at the foot of Wangjia Snow Mountain. Chu He got out of the car and walked with Zhou Hui to search for the nearby two kilometers of railroad tracks, while Zhang Shun could only sit in the back of the car and clean up his vomit. , Making a fire while suffocating to cook.

As a result, Zhou Hui and Chu He came back an hour later. Zhou Hui still looked lazy and slightly joking. When he met Zhang Shun, he smiled and asked, “Oh, my brother-in-law is cooking! What is this, Zan Congee?”

The boiling point on the plateau is so low that it can’t boil through no matter how it boils. Zhang Shun tasted the noodle porridge and said angrily: “It doesn’t matter, just eat like that!”

Zhou Hui said: “Hey-no, no, no, add some ghee to your brother…”

Chu He got out of the car, holding a handful of red and green shrub branches and leaves in his hand, patted Zhang Shun on the shoulder: “I’m coming.”

He seems to have water under his eyes, the tips of his eyes are slightly reddish that is not easily noticeable, and his hair is slightly messy. He wears a black coat and trousers. When he sits down, he looks particularly long legs. There is a lot of dry grass on the back collar, hem and trouser legs Crumbs. Looking at him like this, Zhang Shun asked casually: “What did you do, brother? It’s all grass.”

Zhou Hui leaned against the car door, his collar half-open showing strong chest muscles, and the corners of his mouth wickedly aroused: “Uhhhhhhhhh—-“

Chu He’s cheeks flushed with no expression on his face, he took the pot on the fire and put it in his hands. After a while, a faint red light appeared on the palm of his hand, and the porridge boiled intensified.

“I picked some rhodiola for you.” After an awkward silence lasted for a while, he finally answered the question: “I will cook it for you later.”

Zhang Shun has a tendon, but there is no strangeness in it. Chu He served a bowl of tsampa porridge to one person, and his attention was immediately distracted, and when he took it, he buried his head and drank, snoring like a pig.

Zhang Er Shao vomited for a day, and everything in his stomach was emptied, and Zhou Hui rushed to get rid of a big pot of tsampa. Zhou Hui grabbed something to eat and didn’t grab the brother-in-law. He took a cigarette in depression and left. Zhang Shun satisfied his stomach and continued to lie down and pretended to be dead. Chu He went to the river to wash the pot and fetched water. Start to boil the concoction of rhodiola.

In the evening, the sky is dark and the sky is full of stars. In the distance, the Lhasa River, a tributary of the Yarlung Zangbo River, is quietly passing through the plain, like a silver belt under the vast sky, rushing towards the distant song.

The bonfire was crackling, and Chu He sat cross-legged by the pot. The plain side was very quiet in the fire, giving people an indescribable sense of dependability.

Zhang Shun quietly stared at the boiling water and asked: “Brother?”

“How.”

“I came out this time, did I not help you?”

Chu He was a little surprised. He glanced at him and asked: “Do you want to help me?”

Zhang Shun nodded naturally. He was lying on the mat, knocking the iron spoon with one hand boringly, and supporting his chin with the other. The handsome young face was deformed and looked very funny, but his expression was very depressed.

“The fox sometimes said that I caused a lot of misfortunes. If it weren’t for jealousy of me, Maha would not go to swallow the Buddha, and sometimes he said that my existence is to help you the most… But I think I’ve It’s you who helped me and took care of me. Without you, my company would have closed down…”

“Sometimes I want to give something back. It’s not meant to repay my gratitude. Our brothers say this is too fake.” Zhang Shun got up, staring at the jumping flames and said: “But your world is always far away. I am far away, I don’t know what I can do, but I don’t want to be a second generation ancestor who needs to be taken care of.”

Chu He removed the pot from the fire, and the rhodiola water was boiled until only one bottom was left, and he poured it into the bowl carefully.

“Do you trust me?” he asked seemingly casually after a long time.

Zhang Shun thought without thinking: “Of course, I don’t trust who else you trust.”

“How much trust?”

This question turned Zhang Er Shao down.

He blinked his eyes and opened his mouth for a long while, and finally choked with a big sneeze from the cold of the night, and hurriedly covered his nose with his hands and feet.

“This…how to measure this? Anyway, you are my last relative in the world, or I will return the company to you…”

An inconspicuous smile flashed across Chu He’s eyes, and he handed Zhang Shun’s Rhodiola soup bowl and motioned him to drink it: “I don’t need it, I have nothing to spend.”

This is the best Rhodiola grown at an altitude of more than four kilometers. Its medicinal power is much stronger than that of ordinary medicinal stores. The hot juice flows down the throat and into the stomach. Although the taste is bitter, Zhang Shun still feels It got better immediately.

He put down the bowl and wiped his mouth, and asked seriously: “Then if I…”

“Let’s make an analogy,” Chu He interrupted him: “If one day we two have to cross the dark plain together, the sky will be without stars and the moon, there will be no sound everywhere, only I know the direction, but I don’t. There are so many traps and thorns under your feet. In order to prevent you from attracting beasts, I must knock you unconscious and carry forward… Will you be knocked unconscious?”

“…” Zhang Shun felt that something was wrong, and after a moment he said angrily: “Wait, why have I been pre-set as a hindrance?!”

Chu He laughed, cleaned up the pots and bowls, stood up and stomped the grass clippings on the legs of his pants.

“Not why, I vowed to protect you, but not because of the naive reasons that you are the bones of someone…” He walked to the car without looking back: “Thank you for your trust. Brother, please remember what you said today when you start the dark journey, good night.”

·

The car parked on the Lhasa River, and wolves whimpered from the distance in the dark, whizzing along the north wind across the vast plain.

The three of them spent the night in the carriage slightly shaken by the wind.

When I got up the next morning, Chu He made another bowl of Rhodiola. Zhang Shun felt much better after drinking. He could barely struggle to search for the railway line with them. However, nothing was gained during the whole day. Chu He took the tortoise shell that Zhou Hui collected for a long time, but could not figure out anything.

In the evening, the small broken car almost broke down. They had to park the car on a flat ground not far from the railroad tracks, light a fire and cook for a while.

“If this continues, I have to go back to Larilang to refuel,” Zhou Hui opened the front cover of the car and said while inspecting the engine: “I really miss my **** king of the desert. It’s a pity that it’s in Gansu. Time is tight. Can’t drive… Damn, there are always such messy tasks. Is this forcing me to put an off-road vehicle in every province and city in the country?”

Zhang Er Shao is also a rich second-generation background, and he just wants to confuse him.

Chu He is quite used to his tyrant style, sitting on the edge and making a fire, and he doesn’t answer.

“Let me tell you, brother-in-law–” Zhou Hui began to babble again.

“It’s very important to choose a car that suits you. The gorgeous appearance, interior design, and leather seats are all fun. For example, I don’t really like that Bentley. It’s purely for face-saving. The most important thing about a car is durability. On roads, deserts, jungles and even ice fields, cars that can accompany you to fight around are good cars. If every man has a soul of cold weapon in his heart, then A car that suits you is a man’s best companion!”

“——Tell you, when I first bought that G500!” Zhou Hui waved his hand and said emotionally: “I drove it across the Tengger Desert, and went up the Hexi Corridor, and kept driving. In Dunhuang! The lonely smoke in the desert and the camel bell on the ancient road are all this off-road vehicle wading through the mountains and waters for me, overcoming obstacles! Therefore, a good car can carry people in the right direction, and it is a man’s soul mate!”

Zhou Hui slammed the front cover of the broken car, making a loud noise.

“It makes sense!” Zhang Shun applauded vigorously, then asked: “–what about my brother?”

Zhou Hui: “………………”

Zhou Hui shuddered suddenly and looked back at Chu He.

I saw Chu He expressionlessly, slowly putting down the pots and bowls and the smokeless stove, laying down the unboiled tsampa noodles on the ground, and turning away.

“Wife—I didn’t mean that!”

Zhou Hui flew up, spreading his hands straight against Chu River’s thighs, with a graceful posture like a wild dog with its tail chopped off. In the next second, Chu He drew away quickly, got into the car, and closed the door with a slam.

“Wife! I love you!” Zhou Hui slammed the door and cried out in tears: “Don’t listen to the idiot brother-in-law instigating separation, I obviously didn’t mean that! Wife, open the door! Isn’t dinner still special? Where to cook!”

Chu He opened a slit in the car window and said coldly: “Let your soulmate cook it.”

Zhou Hui: “…”

Zhou Hui finally knows the serious end of babbling. He blinked his eyes and opened and closed his mouth several times. With a flash of inspiration, he was about to say that the car is the mate of my soul, but dear, you are the master of my soul, so Chu He smiled leisurely, full of malice:

“Go ahead, ex-husband.”

Zhou Hui stood in front of the half-grown bonfire with a trance, and suffered a thousand critical strike damage in his heart.

Zhang Shun sits on the side of the empty pot and uses an iron spoon to knock the empty bowl, lest the world will not be chaotic: “Boss Zhou, I want to eat! I am a non-staff temporary worker for Guoan. As a superior leader, you must guarantee a temporary worker. Travel benefits! I want to eat——!”

Zhou Hui said angrily: “Can’t you cook it yourself!”

“I won’t,” Zhang Shun said shamelessly, “Master is the second generation of the standard rich. It has always been a little beauty who vie for cooking for me.”

Zhou Hui is almost two big heads one by one, daring to be angry and not daring to speak, hit the water, dangling smoke and began to meet the barley noodles. It took a long time to cook, and regardless of the boiling point or not, I continued to knock on the door of the car and said pitifully, “My dear, I am wrong. The car is my soul’s mate, and you are my soul’s… …”

The car window opened a slit again, and Chu He said coldly: “Your soul’s mistress?”

Zhou Hui was shocked and reflexed: “How could it?! It must be a big room!” As soon as the voice fell, he wanted to slap his mouth.

Chu He was expressionless and closed the car window again.

Zhou Hui was dying to death. He cooked the half-baked tsampa porridge with tears. He kicked Zhang Shun who was about to eat, and first filled a bowl of hot food and knocked on the door.

Chu He ate the snacks brought by Zhang Shun in the back seat-preserved fruits, melon seeds, chocolate, dehydrated cake; Zhou Hui wagged his tail and patted the window of the car, pointing to the bowl in his hand and said loudly: “Eating that is unhealthy! Husband, give you some protein!”

Chu He shook his head to signal not, Zhou Hui knocked again; Chu He waved his hand to walk away, Zhou Hui knocked again.

Boss Zhou persevered to open the door, and Chu He finally rolled down the car window for the third time and asked: “What do you want to do?”

“Dear…Dear, come and bring you food.”

“Don’t.”

“Come on dear, it is not healthy to stay in the car all the time, the air is not circulated, which affects the oxygen quality in the lungs…”

“I think it’s okay.” Chu He said nonchalantly, “After all, as a big house, you should pay attention to connecting with your soul mistress.”

Zhou Hui was dumbfounded, his mouth twitched, holding the bowl and petrifying into pieces in the wind. However, in the next second, Chu He completely shattered him:

“—Oh yes, sorry, it’s the former Dafang.”

·

The three of them stayed overnight in the carriage. Zhou Hui tried every means to squeeze into the back seat with Chu He, but Zhang Shun’s **** stuck to his brother’s side and couldn’t drive away. In the end, Boss Zhou could only return to the driver’s seat, aggrieved and lonely on his own.

However, in the middle of the night, he sneaked out of the car and fiddled on the rocky beach by the Lhasa River for more than half an hour, then sneaked back in the car and woke up Chu River:

“Honey, show you something, come here!”

Chu He was awake when he was asleep, and the wind was bitter outside. His only thought was to push Zhou Hui out and continue sleeping. However, Zhou Hui kept pounding him. A few minutes later, Chu He finally sat up helplessly, put on his jacket, got out of the car and asked hoarsely: “What do you want to do?!”

Zhou Hui didn’t answer mysteriously, and took his hand to the Lhasa River, standing on a messy rocky beach.

The night sky in Tibet is vast and vast, the Milky Way traverses the sky, and hundreds of billions of stars are quietly twinkling in the sky.

Zhou Hui raised his hand, and an invisible light film rose on the ground, stretched and expanded high in the sky, and turned into a transparent screen covering the sky. In the huge screen, the stars seem to be propelled by mysterious forces, one after another leaving the orbit, gradually forming a huge shining starry sky map.

It was a phoenix, with its gorgeous wings gleaming in the night sky, and its tail feathers were like a vast Milky Way sprinkled in the sky. With its slender and graceful neck drooping, it gently gazes at the giant lion-like tiger at its feet. Although the fangs of the beast are out of the sky and roar, its hind legs are lying on the ground, showing that it is both domineering and willing to obey. attitude.

Chu He was slightly startled, and saw Zhou Hui pushing with both hands, and the star map changed again.

Thousands of stars seem to be reflected on a mirror, in the night sky, forming the posture of the two of them standing on the Lhasa River at the moment. Chu He and the shining self in the sky looked at each other. After a daze, they turned their heads to look at Zhou Hui. The mirror image of himself in the sky also turned his head, and looked at each other with Zhou Hui composed of stars.

“When we first moved to the human world, we lived on a glacier in Tibet, and we could see such a clear starry sky every night.” Zhou Hui smiled, the sky full of stars reflected in his eyes: “I remember At that time, you especially like to sit alone looking up at night in the middle of the night. Sometimes two children will run to sit next to you, but as soon as I arrive, they will disperse.”

Chu He looked at him, then looked up at himself in the mirror in the sky, his heart was shocked.

“In fact, my favorite thing to do is to sit with you hand in hand, quietly looking up at this eternal galaxy. There are always many helplessness and variables in the world. You may have chosen your own future path, but As long as there is any possibility, I hope to go on with you until the last day when the earth is overturned and the stars are gone.”

Zhou Hui took out the ring box from his chest pocket and opened the black ring with diamonds inside to reveal the pair of rings. The stars on the sky also knelt down on one knee:

“My dear, shall we remarry, can we?”

Chu He looked at him quietly, his eyes gleaming like water, he suddenly asked for a long while:

“Your soul mate car…”

Zhou Hui immediately swears to the sky: “I will sell it when I go back, two hundred yuan away!”

A clear smile appeared in Chu He’s eyes. He took out one of the rings and put it on Zhou Hui, while the other was held in his palm. Then he leaned down and kissed Zhou Hui tenderly in the starry sky.

“No need to sell…” He joked softly: “Send me as your premarital property.”

·

Zhang Shun didn’t sleep well that night. At first, Zhou Hui got out of the car and got on the car again. Then his brother got in and got out of the car again. The two of them were bothered outside. What? I came back soon after dawn. I woke him up when he opened and closed the door, and asked in a daze: “…what are you doing?”

Chu He didn’t say a word, Zhang Shun opened his eyes dimly, and saw his brother’s face flushed and his hair was messy, he was wrapped up in a coat casually, Zhou Hui was returning from the driver’s seat with an evil laugh of “huh, huh”.

Zhang Shun yawned, and asked listlessly: “…what a fool you are laughing?”

Before Zhou Hui had time to show off his power, Chu He whispered: “You both sleep!”

There is no need for him to say a second sound, Zhang Er Shao immediately closed his eyes wherever he went to eat and sleep well, forgetting any doubts, and instantly sank into the black sweet dreamland again.

Zhang Shun got up the next day, refreshed and refreshed. He didn’t even think of any abnormality last night.

However, Chu He didn’t get out of the car directly, he was sleeping with a coat on the back seat, looking extremely tired.

In contrast, Zhou Hui was very excited. After changing from his usual lazy and slippery style, he touched a few bird eggs at breakfast from nowhere. After cooking, he generously divided Zhang Shun into one, and the rest was all He got into the car and called Chu He up to eat together.

They plan to return to Lajlang today to refuel the car and replenish supplies. By the way, they will contact Beijing for searching matters. Although there has been no progress in the past two days, Zhou Hui seemed to be in a pretty good mood. Zhang Shun looked at him and even felt that even if Yu Jingzhong called and cursed his ancestor for the eighteenth generation at this time, he could “Well He laughed from start to finish.

In the morning, they searched the railroad tracks for seven or eight kilometers with their last hope, but they didn’t find any clues. They packed up at noon, cooked some dehydrated beef, and prepared to leave in the afternoon; however, before leaving, things finally changed——

Zhou Hui drank too much water, and without any shame he ran to the side of the railroad track to release the water and left it there. Suddenly, he discovered the abnormality left by the train before it disappeared.
