Episode 3 Chapter 13: Guests from all over the world feel at home

    I saw the Kunlun Mountains from a distance, which was breathtaking.

    The vast Kunlun Mountains are majestic and covered in silver, with tens of thousands of towering towers reaching into the sky.  At the top of Kunlun, with soaring clouds and mist, the heaven and earth naturally merge into one, making it impossible to distinguish one from the other.  Among the snow-capped mountains and grasslands, rare birds and animals chase and jump, forming a beautiful natural picture.

    Yang Lingfeng couldn't help but stop his horse and quietly looked over there at the holy land he longed for.  There always seems to be lightning floating on top of the mountains.  "It must be not far from the sky."

    Seeing that it was getting late, Yang Lingfeng took a deep breath, crossed his legs, and drove towards a small town not far away.  It¡¯s Golmud County.

    Golmud is located in the southwest border. The city is not large and is entirely made of adobe walls.  There is no war here, it's just about fending off wild beasts.

    Yang Lingfeng saw the smoke rising from the kitchen, and looked around, but didn't see any inn, and was secretly surprised.  After getting off the horse, I led the horse to search slowly, for fear of missing it. That night, I could not avoid the cold, but spending the night in the wilderness was not a good thing.

    "Young man? Are you from out of town?" Yang Lingfeng struggled to understand the slightly stiff words. He turned around and saw a man wearing a rolled-edge blue cloth felt hat, gray homespun clothes, and hooded feet.  An old man who looked like he had just put on blue cloth shoes stood at the door of a compound he had just passed and asked him a question.

    Yang Lingfeng turned around, bowed his hands respectfully, and said: "Exactly, this old man, I wonder where the inn here is? I have come a long way and stayed in the wilderness for a few days. I really don't want to come back.  Spent the night on the haystack." He said with a wry smile.

    The old man was stunned for a moment, half-coughing and laughing, and said: "There is no inn here. If there are guests coming from far away, they will stay at random families. Young man, come in, you will belong to my Jima family today."  Guest." After saying that, he turned around and shouted into the courtyard in native dialect: "Old woman, the warehouse is full, we have a guest at home."

    Yang Lingfeng was stunned for a while, feeling very embarrassed. He had long heard that the Tu people were very hospitable and believed that guests would bring blessings. When he saw them today, they were indeed well-deserved.

    Seeing Yang Lingfeng standing motionless, the old man quickly came up and grabbed the horse rope from Yang Lingfeng's hand, pulled Yang Lingfeng and walked into the courtyard.

    Yang Lingfeng walked around, feeling extremely embarrassed, so he had no choice but to follow.

    Walking into the courtyard, Yang Lingfeng saw what the complete Tu courtyard looked like.  Although the yard is made of dirt, it is very clean. There are two mud houses in each corner.  Opposite the gate is a large house, facing north and south.  In the center of the courtyard stands a Mani flagpole with a six-character mantra printed on it, presumably to ward off evil spirits.  There is also a square vase stand in the center of the courtyard. Towards the main room, there is an incense burner with traces of the ashes of cypress leaves burning inside.  There is a screen wall in front of the door. Three white stones are placed on the top of the screen wall. Behind the screen wall, three poplar trees serve as a foil.  There is also a stone lion placed in the hole in the Zhaobi wall.  There were several other horses in a horse pen in the corner of the courtyard, but they were much taller and stronger than the one Yang Lingfeng was riding.

    At this time, a young man came out. I think he was a member of Uncle Jima's family.

    Jima handed the horse's reins to the young man's hands and told him to tie the horse and feed it.  Jima pointed at the young man and said, "This is my youngest son, his name is Cangman. I still don't know what your name is, young man?"

    Yang Lingfeng smiled at the man and said, "Uncle Jima, my surname is Yang and my first name is Lingfeng."

    Jima nodded briefly and said with a big smile: "Okay, okay, brother Yang, please come and sit inside, and I'll let Cangman's wife clean up a room for you."

    Yang Lingfeng didn't even say a word. He simply couldn't deal with this really enthusiastic Jima, so he had to sit down.

    After a while, her face darkened completely. Jima lit two oil lamps, placed them on the table, and chatted with Yang Lingfeng.

    Seeing that Yang Lingfeng was in a dusty state, Jima asked, "Brother Yang, where are you from? Where are you going?"

    Yang Lingfeng didn't hide anything. The owner's hospitality left him no doubt. He answered directly: "I came all the way from Sichuan and want to go to Kunlun Mountain to find a friend."

    Jima frowned and said: "Brother Yang, it's not easy to go up Kunlun Mountain. There are ice picks everywhere. If you accidentally fall down, no one can save you."

    Yang Lingfeng smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Jima, don't worry, I believe I can handle it. I wonder how far away from Kunlun Mountain is this place?"

    Jima nodded. Judging from the tone of Yang Lingfeng's words, she didn't believe that an ordinary person would go to that kind of place.  He replied: "This place is still three hundred miles away from Kunlun Mountain. If we walk, I'm afraid it will take two days, and riding a horse won't be much faster. Especially the horse you brought, Brother Yang."??No.  The terrain here is high and the climate is cold. If that kind of horse were in a normal place, it would be considered a good horse.  "

    Yang Lingfeng nodded in agreement and said: "These days, I also feel that the horse is getting weaker and weaker as it runs. If a friend hadn't given it to me, I would have simply left by myself."

    Jima stood up, brought out a jar of local wine, and said, "Brother Yang, don't worry. When you are about to leave, I will give you a good horse, so that you can go faster."

    Yang Lingfeng shook his head and thanked: "I don't need to trouble Uncle Jima anymore. If I go by myself, I will go faster. Can Uncle Jima take care of this pony for me for a few days? In a few days  I¡¯ll come back and get it.¡±

    Jima was stunned and said: "Of course it's okay to leave your horse here, but how can you walk as fast as a horse?"

    Yang Lingfeng smiled slightly but said nothing, smelling the aroma coming from the kitchen.

    A Tu woman brought a large plate of mutton, and another young woman brought a thick plate of steamed buns.

    Seeing that the food was ready, Jima quickly asked Yang Lingfeng to come and eat.

    In fact, according to Yang Lingfeng's cultivation level, he has reached the period of fasting, which is what ordinary people call him, which means he can go without eating for a whole year. However, he did not notice it. He just felt that he rarely felt hungry in his belly, but he would not feel hungry even if he ate.  Feeling bloated and uncomfortable.

    Jima ordered: "Cangman's wife, call Cangman over and tell him to play with his stuff later. Don't ask the guests to wait."

    After hearing this, the young woman trotted to the northwest corner of the room.

    Yang Lingfeng looked at those rooms and asked, "Uncle Jima, why do you have so many houses? Who are they for?"

    Ji Mal was stunned for a moment, laughed loudly, and said: "No more, no more, the two rooms to the east belong to the eldest brother, the one to the south belongs to the second brother, the one to the west just now is the warehouse full, and the one to the north is the usual one.  It¡¯s empty and used to greet guests.¡±

    Yang Lingfeng praised: "Uncle Jima has three sons? What a blessing it is to have many children. It will definitely be a wealthy family in the future."

    Jima was very happy to hear this. If the guest said he would be blessed, he felt that he would be blessed.  He quickly grabbed five wine cups, poured wine in and toasted to Yang Lingfeng.

    Yang Lingfeng stood up quickly, took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.  Asked: "Uncle Jima, is Brother Cangman the only one at home??"

    Jima nodded, seeming to be a little angry when talking about this youngest son.  Said: "Both the eldest brother Cangzu and the second brother Cangfu are collecting materials at the jade farm and are away from home for a long time. Fortunately, the jade farm is not far away. I can ride there in half a day, so I occasionally go to see them. Only when the warehouse is full,  He stayed at home all the time and never went out to work. Cangzu and Cangfu now have their own jade quarries, but they haven't gotten married yet, and the youngest Cangman is the first to get married."

    Yang Lingfeng was secretly surprised that Cangman was not worried at all when he saw that both brothers had the eldest son's family business. He asked: "What is brother Cangman doing at home? I just watched Cangman.  The eldest brother is also a very kind and honest person."

    Jima couldn't get angry because the guests were at home, so she said calmly: "The third child has been reading some book all day long, saying that he wants to be a god. I'm just angry and want to take his book and burn it.  , but it couldn't be burned, and it couldn't be cut with a knife. I didn't know what it was made of. He snatched it back again and said nothing about taking it out."

    When Yang Lingfeng heard this, he was very interested and secretly thought that it was some kind of treasure, right?  He said: "This junior happens to have some research on these things. Could you ask Brother Cangman to lend me a book so I can take a look?"

    Jima shook his head and said: "Now he would rather die than give the book to me, and protect it like a treasure."

    Yang Lingfeng said: "Uncle Jima, when Cangman comes, just mention it to him. I will tell Brother Cangman.

    Jima looked at Yang Lingfeng with a little surprise, and saw that Yang Lingfeng had a kind face and said, "Okay, brother Yang can help me persuade this kid to go out to work and don't look at that.  It¡¯s better to break the book.¡±

    While they were talking, Cangman¡¯s wife had already taken Cangman¡¯s arm into the main room and sat down at the end.

    Seeing that everyone was here, Jima ordered Cangman to toast Yang Lingfeng, who was a guest.

    The warehouse was full and he didn't hesitate. He poured Yang Lingfeng a glass of wine, said "please" in vague Chinese, and drank it.

    Yang Lingfeng smiled and said: "Good drinker." After saying that, he also took a drink.  Then he asked: "Uncle Jima, why are you the only one who can speak Chinese?"

    Jima nodded and said: "I can speak Chinese because I lived in the Central Plains for a period of time when I was young. Later, when I came back here, I spoke less and became a little unfamiliar. Cangman and the others were born here.I live here and never travel far.  "

    Yang Lingfeng was so dark that no wonder he was like this. He could only talk to Jim and Ma. Fortunately, he met someone who could speak Chinese, otherwise he would have to live in the woods and haystacks on the hillside again tonight.

    Jima put down the mutton in her hand and said: "Cangman, take out your book and show it to the guests."

    When Cangman heard this, his face became angry and he said, "No. Dad, do you want to destroy or hide the book again?"
