The trip starts from Yongliang land and checks in

Chapter 167

"The sunset at Lugu Lake is so beautiful." Zhang Xiao sighed.

"This should be Nisai Village, because I saw a very famous lover's tree. In the afterglow of the setting sun, the lover's tree looks like a pair of lovers cuddling each other very affectionately under the red light." Zhang Xiao murmured.

Everyone couldn't help sighing.

This Lugu Lake is really a place suitable for slowing down, feeling the wind and clouds, this is a day away from the hustle and bustle like a secret place outside the world, the breeze is coming, and the scenery with calm water is enough to make my troubles and worries disappear Bar.

"Let's stop here for today, and stay here tonight." Zhang Xiao pointed to a village in front of him and said.

"Can there be an inn here?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

"It's okay, the big deal is that we will live in the local villagers' homes. The people here are all hospitable, hahaha..."

……

An old fireplace.

The raging flames made everyone feel a long-lost warmth.

Today, Yaoshan is really starving. For people who are keen on fitness, their oxygen demand will increase significantly in this relatively high-altitude environment.

So now Yao Shan needs rest more than anyone else...

"This suckling pig, this chicken, this eggplant in a pig trough, um...vegetable platter, what is valentine grass?? Let's have some too, small steamed buns, potatoes, and barbecue! Don't you guys try to grab me today. Pay the bill, I'll treat you." Yao Shan clicked in a big circle.

Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Brother Shan, do you know what a lover's grass is?"

Yao Shan froze for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, what is it?"

"Chives..." Zhang Xiao laughed.

"Chives?? No wonder, leeks are said to be strong. I'll go, no wonder it's called lover's grass, old woman, come with two servings of lover's grass!" Yao Shan shouted.

Soon, the dishes were served.

Since Yao Shan ordered a lot, the boss also kindly presented some dishes.

"This is pickled pear, a kind of pickle unique to our Mosuo people. It is made of pear, which is rich in our local area. It has been pickled for a month. It tastes sweet and sour, crisp and refreshing, and has a strong mellow aroma. "The boss said with a smile.

Zhang Xiao took a big sip and was immediately attracted by the taste of pickled pears.

After savoring it carefully, Zhang Xiao smiled and said, "Boss, are these pickled pears marinated with white wine?"

"My little brother has a big mouth, can you eat this?" The boss was very surprised.

After a pause, the boss continued: "This is marinated with salt, white chicken, ginger, garlic, pepper and water. It is very good to eat with food."

"This is our special Sulima wine, and it is also a low-alcohol wine brewed by our Mosuo people's traditional craftsmanship. It has a history of at least 2000 years."

Zhang Xiao looked down and saw that the wine was light yellow in color, very mellow and delicious, and the alcohol content was very low, making it very suitable for drinking.

"In addition to the Sulima wine, there is also this Dangdang wine, which is what we Mosuo men often drink and entertain guests. You guys can try it." The boss pointed to another bottle of wine and said.

Zhang Xiao chuckled, pointed to the wine and said to Yao Shan: "Did you know that brother Shan, this kind of wine is heated and boiled in a pot when it is drunk, and it is about [-] degrees Celsius. It is mild and relaxing in the sun. Be vigilant, but have a strong stamina, and you often get drunk after drinking it, so it is called bangdang wine. This wine is suitable for you, and with the valentine grass, you will definitely be more mighty and majestic..."

"Hey, then I'm not being polite, but drink a few more glasses!!" Yao Shan laughed and said loudly.

Everyone laughed.

Li Yang smiled lightly from the side, as if he liked the atmosphere very much.

Around the firepit, everyone began to eat.

There are also many taboos among the people living in the fire pit in this kind of village.

Seeing that Yao Shan, who was eating very heartily, wanted to take off his shoes, Zhang Xiao hurriedly stopped him.

"Hey, people here have a lot of taboos. You can't step over the firepit or take off your shoes in front of the firepit. In addition, you can't walk in front of others when you are by the firepit. Spit on the firepit, you can’t turn your back to the firepit when eating, you can’t speak with your feet on the threshold, and you can’t use swear words,” Zhang Xiao explained one by one.

Late at night.

Everyone who was full of food and drink went to rest early, but Zhang Xiao walked out of the house alone.

In this silent night, and in the dark village.

A strange sound came from not far away. I thought it was a cow, but it turned out to be a toad. Besides, there were various insects and birds.

The village was pitch black, and only a few sporadic houses were still lit, including the bright windows behind Zhang Xiao.

Leaning against the wall, a towering tree at the door was shrouded in the night, making it unreal under the dim light.

It was as if everything in front of him was shrouded in fog.

The few pure white flowers on the tree, glowing with the bright moonlight from the sky, are extremely beautiful.

Zhang Xiao was amazed by the night in this village.

Treat me with nothing to worry about, and return to the world from now on.The old house in the deep mountains is the home, repair fences and plant flowers when you are busy, and drink tea when you are free!

This may be the most comfortable, most comfortable and most detached life.

Find a secluded place far away from the hustle and bustle, choose a village to die in, watch the smoke rise slightly, cook a pot of fish soup, and drink out the smile in your dreams.

Immediately, Zhang Xiao looked up at the sky, a very bright moon.

With such a moon like a white jade plate, isn’t today the fifteenth day?
Zhang Xiao smiled slightly, and took a group of photos of the night sky. Under the moon-star-sparse night sky, the village was completely silent. Zhang Xiao took a close-up of this beautiful scene.

There is no need for post-retouching at all, and the PS photo has a detached and dusty atmosphere.

Zhang Xiao directly uploaded it on his Weibo.

And with text.

Half a life is exhausting, all in vain, who will read the perfect inscription, living in seclusion among mountains and rivers, swearing and floating names, two people in one house, three meals for four seasons, do you yearn for such a life?

Click Upload.

Zhang Xiao returned the phone and returned to the house.

He was the only one left, and everyone else went back to sleep. Zhang Xiao didn't feel sleepy. He leaned against the firepit, opened a can of wine and looked at the burning firepit.

The owner of the fire pit sat beside him with a cigarette in his mouth, and opened a can of wine casually.

"What's on your mind?" the boss asked.

Zhang Xiao shook his head.

"Don't hide it, your thoughts are written in your eyes. I have been in this fire pond for 23 years, and I have met countless people. This place is like a big filter. Few people can live here and explore Most of the people who come here are people with stories in their hearts, and I can tell that you should be the team leader among you." The boss and Zhang Xiao bumped into the wine and took a big gulp.

Zhang Xiao chuckled.

"The same is true in the world. Decades ago, like you, I was a young man who liked to wander around, and in the end I chose to stay here to spend the rest of my life in peace. There's just not enough time." After the boss finished speaking, he put the wine in his hand on the firepit to warm it.

The boss smiled slightly and took a deep drag on his cigarette.

Zhang Xiao likes this old man who looks very mature and vicissitudes.

He has a scar on his face, he likes to smoke and drink, and he can cook delicious dishes.

Guarding the small fire pond in a small village next to Lugu Lake, but also carefree.

"Take a sip?" Zhang Xiao raised his glass.

The boss took a sip of the warm wine from his glass.

"Actually, I rarely meet people who warm up and drink with me late at night." The boss put down his glass and said.

"Everyone has played for a day, and after eating and drinking, they will choose to take a rest. After a long time, that's it. I am also happy to watch young people come here and leave, from when I was young to now. I'm an old man." The boss continued.

"One day, when I get older, maybe I will disappear completely."

……

Zhang Xiao watched as the boss drank all the wine, got up and lit a red lantern at the door.

"I'm going to sleep. Good night."

……

Maybe there will be no chance to see this boss again.

When Zhang Xiao was about to walk out of the firepit in the morning, he looked back deliberately. The boss was still smoking his jar of pickled pears, as if he felt Zhang Xiao was looking at him.

The boss looked up and grinned.

The face during the day is more clear, and the smile is more obvious under the scar.

Zhang Xiao also looked at each other and smiled.

Although I don't know the origin or name, I met by chance on the road, and we had a good time drinking and chatting together.

Zhang Xiao will always remember this scar boss and the red lantern at the door forever in Zhang Xiao's memory.

Remember this deep and lonely night, remember this old house and old tree under the mist.

"Let's go, Brother Xiao." Someone shouted.

Zhang Xiao muttered a farewell silently.

Stepping out of the firepit hut, Zhang Xiao left.

Travelers like Zhang Xiao don't know how many times they will meet such strangers on the road.

I don't know my name, I don't know if I will see you again in the future, I don't know why we want to drink and chat together.

I only know that these are interesting souls, maybe in the more distant tomorrow, I will still remember this individual in my memory.

"Let's go, today we will complete the remaining half circle around Lugu Lake!" Zhang Xiao said with a smile.

……

There are really countless places to go to Lugu Lake. If you really want to visit in detail, it may not be enough for more than a week.

There are countless unforgettable landscapes just around the lake.

If you explore every place, you probably won't have enough time.

In fact, except for Zhang Xiao, everyone really felt that the trip was worthwhile, and they got complete peace and relaxation physically and mentally.

The entire Lugu Lake Scenic Area is surrounded by green hills, the lakeshore is winding and bayed, surrounded by Mosuo Village, Zhamei Temple and Yongning Hot Spring, Axia Valley, Gemu Goddess Mountain, and Xiaoluoshui Village. There are a total of [-] beaches, [-] It consists of three bays, five whole islands, three peninsulas, and a seawall connecting the islands. There are also eighteen natural villages along the lake.

There are so many places worth exploring, unknown and mysterious places, and countless interesting people and things.

Known as the three islands of Penglai, Xiwa'e Island, Liwubi Island and Lige Island can be said to be the three most beautiful islands.

Zhang Xiao really wanted to experience them one by one.

If Zhang Xiao was the only one, he would probably stay here for more than half a month, or even a month.

Zhang Xiao feels the dawn and sunset of Lugu Lake. The sunrise and sunset here are not so obvious, but the blue sky and white clouds and the unique pig trough boats are more impressive against the blue water of the lake. The mulberry flowers made Zhang Xiao intoxicated.

Walking around, thinking quietly, and running wildly without any scruples are all a pleasing picture.

This is really the best place to escape from reality and save a life of idleness. The pier with a wide view, everything is so beautiful.

Lugu Lake, thank you.

For nearly three or four days, everyone had a great time at Lugu Lake.

When the bicycle finally returned to the starting point that started a few days ago, everyone's calves were very sore.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task, and obtained the exclusive travel photography, vlog shooting artifact and SLR camera!!! It has been stored in your system storage space. In addition, the host will automatically learn and use their experience proficiently technology."

"This shooting artifact is based on the real Canon, Sony and other cameras. In fact, it has more complete functions and better picture quality. Please let the host explore by himself."

All in all, these three days of riding can be regarded as a real experience, the daily life of senior cycling enthusiasts.

When Zhang Xiao sat in the Wrangler off-road vehicle he had rented again, he felt very comfortable.

It is still the familiar return route, and the two cars are still driving towards the ancient city of Guandu.

Zhang Xiao almost kept increasing the speed of the bike, as if using this extreme speed could relieve the aggrievedness and pain of riding a bicycle these days.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xiao and others drove back to the ancient city in two cars. The trip to Lugu Lake really touched everyone deeply.

This is a more retro and primitive village than Lijiang, Dali, and even the ancient city of Guandu. It almost truly feels the most authentic and simple ethnic style, and that feeling will be remembered for a lifetime.

There are always some people and things, even if they have never met before, but they feel like old friends at first sight; there are always some mountains and waters, even if they have never met, but yearn for them.

The memory of Lugu Lake is a piece of blue sky, a piece of green water, a shining starry sky, a bridge carrying legends, and a group of friends without worries.

If it weren't for the arduous journey, maybe the joy of seeing the beauty for the first time would not be so strong. The tortuous mountain road can't see the end of the speeding, and the greatest reward will always be given at the moment of enlightenment.

Misty legends bring untouchable mystery. The Mosuo people who have been married for generations are like veiled foreigners in the Western Regions in the eyes of the world, attracting travelers from all over the world to find out.

Sunshine, breeze, meadow, beautiful water, all elements worth enjoying are fully displayed at this moment.Freedom is the greatest pursuit of walking on the road, just like the carefree leisure in this masterpiece of the creator, and the clear starry sky at night, that is the memory only in the hometown.

Surrounding the lake is naturally indispensable. The sparkling waves of the bright sea reflect the warmth of the sun. Lige Island in the Luoshui River, the Gemu Mountain and the Marriage Bridge, and the Lugu Lake, which is divided by the border between Sichuan and Yunnan, also present two different landscapes from the north to the south. kind of scenery.

Singing and laughing all the way, it taught people to forget countless troubles, the cool water on the beach, the ancient boat by the pier, the mysterious island in the middle of the lake, and the beautiful people in the camera.

It's a pity that the time is not long enough, after all, the young ladies and sisters of the group of four are about to leave.

The itinerary of a few people is such a mere week.

From arriving at Guandu, to meeting Zhang Xiao and others, to traveling to Lugu Lake for three days, tomorrow can be said to be the last day of staying here.

This is an extremely unforgettable memory. For everyone, in this small town that is not well-known but has its own charm, the memories brought to everyone are different.
