Tibetan Mastiff Notes

Chapter 9 This is the real mastiff (9)
The men were grateful and recovered a pen and a cigarette case from the car.Yang Jin opened the cigarette box, drew a simple road map, and wrote a long paragraph beside it, and handed it to those people, saying: "Go quickly, if it is delayed until dark, your brother will have to be buried in the On the prairie."

Those people had no choice but to carry the wounded on their backs, supported each other, and left slowly according to the route indicated by Yang Jin.I sat down to rest, clutched my aching waist, and said, "You are such a good girl, what about these roe deer?"

Yang Jin pursed his lips and said, "Do you know what I wrote on the cigarette box?" I shook my head and asked her, "What did I write?" Yang Jin laughed and said, "I wrote on it Yes: These people are poachers. The people in the medical station should immediately call the relevant departments to report and tell them to send someone to deal with the carload of roe deer. Fortunately, they don’t understand Tibetan, which can help us I'm very busy!"

I laughed out loud, it didn't matter that I laughed, and I felt a sharp pain in my waist again.Yang Jin said, "Let me see your waist." As he spoke, he insisted on pulling off my clothes.I was embarrassed to let her see it, so I grabbed the clothes vigorously and didn't let go.Yang Jin said: "I'm not an unmarried girl. Why are you ashamed of such a big man?" Yang Jin exclaimed as he pulled my clothes away vigorously and took a look.When I looked down, I was startled. My waist was swollen like a bucket. When I turned my waist slightly, I could hear the creaking sound of the spine in the back.

Dahei came over, rubbed her head against my hand, and looked up at me. Her eyes were so serene and firm, as if she was encouraging me to persevere.Looking at Dahei's firm gaze, I gritted my teeth and held back the pain.

Dahei himself was also injured, the hair on his back was frayed off, and the skin was rotten, exposing the flesh inside. Looking at the blood red, it made people feel distressed and wanted to cry.I touched Dahei's face with my hand again, she was very obedient, and licked the center of my palm.At that moment, the warmth from the big black tongue was slowly transmitted to my palm, and I felt like I had strength again, so I stood up vigorously and said, "Let's go, let's go."

"Wait!" Yang Jin found some branches, chose a few straighter ones, cut them to about the same length, and told me not to move. She put the branches around my waist one by one, and tied them with a rope. The twigs were bundled like a brace around my waist, temporarily relieving the pain from twisting, though, that didn't do much.Yang Jin asked me: "Can I still go? We are going into the mountains." I said, "Okay, let's go. This small injury is nothing. I have suffered worse injuries before, and I have survived."

Actually, I was comforting Yang Jin, I didn't want to distract her when she went to the mountains to collect herbs.It rained last night and the mountain road was extremely difficult to walk.The higher the altitude, the thinner the oxygen, and the closer to the limit of the human body. What if something happens?How can I explain to Uncle Cairang?Don't hurt new injuries more than old injuries, and adding injuries to old injuries is even more taboo.I know in my heart that this is the most painful injury in my history.I'm really afraid that my waist will be crippled like this. I'm still young and haven't even gotten married yet, so I have to hold on to whatever I say.

After climbing out of the slope and valley, we continued to go up, the oxygen seemed to be getting thinner and thinner, or maybe I was too tired from walking, and I was panting after walking for a while.I saw that Dahei was not walking easily, she was heavily crushed by the car, and her back was injured, I was really worried, wondering if Dahei had a bone injury like me.When we got halfway up the mountain, it was almost dark, we stopped to rest, eat something, and replenish our energy.

My injury slowed down the speed of travel. I feel that walking like this will increase the round trip by at least two days, and the food I brought may not be enough. Dahei is injured, and I can't bear to let her grab something to eat by herself .I pinched the piece of meat and said, "My lower back hurts, I can't eat."

Yang Jin looked at the sky, shook his head, and said: "There is no way, we can't go up any more, let's set up a tent here and spend the night, and look for herbs tomorrow morning. I'll look for it first, see if it's suitable The herbal medicine that I use to wipe your wounds will eliminate the inflammation first, so as not to cause infection."

My waist became more and more swollen and painful, and I could only sit stiffly.Yang Jin set up the tent and told Dahei and me to rest first, while she went to find herbs by herself.I said, "No, it's not safe. Let Dahei go with you." Yang Jin laughed, then turned around and said, "I'm right here, and you can hear me shouting. Don't worry, you have a waist Hurt, it’s better for Dahei to be with you.” As he spoke, he burrowed into the thick grass.

Although I used to be a soldier of the special forces, once I left the army, I was just an ordinary person with some special survival skills, but in this environment, for the first time, I feel Realizing that I really look like a useless person.I can't move around, I can only sit and look at the sky, the trees, the ground, the scenery in the distance, and Dahei's melancholy eyes looking at me.People often think of deeply examining their own souls when their freedom is restricted.

I looked at Dahei, and Dahei also looked at me. I saw that Dahei's eyes were so ethereal and holy. The simplicity and the most primitive innocence of the plateau gave the animal such as mastiff a mysterious nature.I couldn't see Dahei's eyes clearly, those eyes were very deep, and I thought: once I got into it, I couldn't get out of it.I thanked Dahei for letting me know myself again and again. I hugged Dahei's neck and handed her the meat on my hand.Dahei refused to eat, looked up at me, and I said, "Eat, I just ate, I'm not hungry."

Only then did Dahei pick up the piece of meat and chew it slowly.She is tired and needs to replenish her strength, but I can still hold on.

It was getting dark, and Yang Jin came back. She found some anti-inflammatory herbs, ground them with stone flakes, and rubbed them on my worn-out shoulders. I felt a sharp pain and shivered uncontrollably. .Yang Jin spread the remaining herbal juice evenly and applied it to Dahei's wound.I knew it was painful, but Dahei didn't move or scream, just stood quietly and endured it.She knew that Yang Jin was doing it for her own good, and that Dahei was a smart mastiff, understanding and understanding, so she could tell the difference between good and bad.

In the evening, it started to rain again, and the temperature dropped suddenly.I was dressed thinly and lay stiff on the blanket, shivering from the cold, my waist was cold and stiff as a stone.Dahei walked into the tent silently, lay down beside me, and used her body temperature to help me keep warm.I was so moved that I wanted to cry, I never thought that a mastiff could be so considerate, she knew when I needed her most, she always came over silently when I couldn't say anything, and tried her best Help me with the greatest strength.

I began to envy Uncle Dorji, how could he be so lucky to have a mastiff as good as Dahei, such a mastiff with human nature, but why can't I have it?My heart was full of emotion and jealousy, and I hugged Dahei's neck tightly, refusing to let go. If Dahei could accompany me for the rest of my life, how wonderful it would be!Sweet dreams are always short-lived. I thought about Dahei, tossed and turned, and just fell asleep when the sky brightened again.Dahei was no longer in the tent, so I straightened up and walked out of the tent with support.

Dahei had been standing outside for a long time, she was breathing the morning air, while she was breathing, she raised her head towards the direction of Mount Everest, her expression was like a pilgrim, as pious as a statue.

Yang Jin also got up early, and she had picked some wild fruits back, maybe she also knew that there was not enough food, so she picked wild fruits to satisfy her hunger.Yang Jin and I ate wild fruits, and Dahei ate meat.After breakfast, we put away our tent and set off again. Yang Jin said, "We have a whole day to collect herbs. Don't worry, just go slowly." I knew she was comforting me, and I was anxious to go back.I endured the pain and followed her footsteps.

Finally, when we got to the place where we needed to collect herbs, Yang Jin told me to stop and rest, and Dahei also stayed, and she went to collect herbs by herself.I said: "No, it's been raining for the past two days, and the mountain road is so slippery and steep, what if something happens?" I insisted on following, but Yang Jin had no choice but to agree. I didn't know what she was going to pick. There is nothing to help her, so she can only follow behind her.Suddenly Yang Jin stopped, carefully dug out a green plant on the mountain wall, and put it in the small backpack that he carried with him.

Along the way, we stopped and stopped, and when it was almost noon, Yang Jin picked half a basket of herbs, and she said that she would pick another kind, which would be better if it was boiled together.I can't pronounce the name of that thing, Tibetan is very awkward, I only know that it grows on the cliffs of the mountain, and sometimes grows in the crevices of rocks.

Yang Jin found the medicinal herb, which grew obliquely on a mountain in front of the bend, but the road ahead was already very narrow and the muddy ground was slippery.Yang Jin insisted on picking. I knew it was dangerous, so I refused. Even Dahei yelled and stopped Yang Jin, refusing to let her go any further.I had no choice but to say: "When I was in the army, I often did this kind of climbing, rappelling and so on. I have better physical fitness and skills than you, so let me go." When something happened, I actually felt really nervous, because when I was not as strong as before, my waist was still injured, and it hurt so much that I gritted my teeth when I moved. In order not to worry Yang Jin, I endured the pain and pretended to be With a very relaxed look, he tightly gripped the rock cracks on the mountain with his ten fingers.

Dahei started yelling at me from behind.I don't know how I insisted on walking that short mountain road. The mud under my feet was as slippery as oil, and the mountain wall was wet. Even with all my strength, my fingers couldn't get it tight.I am very worried that something will happen. After all, I don't even have a safety rope on my body now.I finally grabbed the herb and carefully backed away little by little, but the road was a hell of a hassle, it was easy to come back in the past, and hard to come back.I bit the herb in my mouth, tightened my ten fingers, and then slid back bit by bit. Just when I felt that I was safe, my fingers just let go of the mountain wall, and my feet slammed. slippery, and fell on his back.My first feeling was a heart-piercing pain in my waist. Although I clearly knew that there was a steep valley next to me, my body still rolled to the side of the valley.Yang Jin screamed, Dahei leaped over like a sharp arrow, and bit my collar, the mountain road was slippery to death, Dahei's four paws desperately kicked forward, and his body was pushed back hard. The paws made four holes, but Dahei's body was still dragged forward by me and slowly slid forward.

I broke out in a cold sweat, I couldn't just fall to my death like this, and even a mastiff as good as Dahei couldn't just fall to my death like this!I don't know where I came from, I gritted my teeth, turned around, grabbed the stone wall with both hands, and slowly climbed up.At this time, the pain in my lower back was numb, and I only had one thought, which was to climb!Climb up!

When I was in the army, I also experienced the choice between death and life, and I experienced it again this time.People who have not experienced death cannot appreciate the joy of rebirth. No matter how many novels you read, it is just a vague vocabulary, and you cannot deeply understand my feelings at that time.

When I climbed up, Dahei was already panting with exhaustion. I knew that my 1.8-meter strong man had caused Dahei a lot of suffering. I hugged her neck and cried and laughed.Yang Jin also had tears all over his face, praying unceasingly, saying something I couldn't understand, then Yang Jin knelt down again, kissed the Tsabha hanging around my neck, and kowtowed in the direction of Lhasa.At that moment, I believed that there really was a god in this world, and Dahei was my protector.

When we got back to the foot of the mountain, it was already noon the next day.On the way, we saw some people in military uniform repairing the pickup truck at the foot of the hillside, and some people were taking photos of the deer on the truck for record.

Uncle Duoji looked at my injury and shook his head distressedly, he said: "Okay, how did it become like this?" I smiled and said: "It's okay, I was injured when I was in the army, and it was also good later. Is it? Dahei was also injured, heavier than me, and the skin is turned over, uncle, take a look." Uncle Duoji ignored me, just shook his head and said: "Dahei's little injury, What is it? When she had a fight with wolves before, a large piece of meat on her back was torn off by wolves, and Da Hei didn’t even make a sound, and later the pack of wolves chased and bit them, causing the wolves to run away desperately.”

When the herdsmen on the prairie heard that I was injured, they all came to see me with presents, so the uncle also brought a lot of food, saying it was for my health.Everyone sees that I can't move while lying down, so someone persuades me to go to the city to have a look. Once this man's waist is broken, his life will be over, so he has to get it treated quickly, don't delay!Uncle Dorji said: "Don't worry, I'm going to send him there." Then he was busy packing up some daily necessities and clothes. He was really going to send me into the city, to Shigatse.

Dahei had to stay with Gesang and take care of his sheep.

We had lunch and were waiting for the car.I couldn't ride a horse, and my waist couldn't bear it, so I asked my uncle to contact the jeep on the grassland, which specializes in pulling people's cars.

The car didn't come until night.We waited for another night, and set off early the next morning. I don't know how long the trip will take, because I can't bear the darkness.After going through this incident, Dahei seemed to be getting closer to me, and she was a little bit reluctant, but because of my waist, she turned around resolutely, pointed her butt at me, and cut off my thoughts.I had no choice but to get into the car.Uncle Duoji put his luggage away and jumped into the car, and the car drove away in a hurry.I turned my head and looked back, and saw that Dahei had turned around, was looking at the direction we were going away reluctantly, wagging his tail, as if waving to us.

On the way, the car passed a mani pile. Uncle Dorji told the car to stop, then got out of the car, worshiped devoutly around the mani pile, and then picked up a stone on the ground and added it to the mani pile.

Mani piles are actually a kind of accumulation of white stones, which is also a manifestation of the white worship of people in Tibetan-inhabited areas.The scale of the initial Mani piles may not be too large. As more and more people pass by the Mani piles, they will pray for the blessings of the gods and the gods to remove disasters, get happiness, and circle around the Mani piles. One circle and add another stone.When I watched Uncle Dorji doing these things devoutly and respectfully, I didn't know that he was praying for me and praying for my body to be healthy as soon as possible.

[-]. This is the real mastiff
Uncle Duoji took me to the hospital to take an X-ray. The doctor asked, "Have you ever hurt your waist before?" I nodded and said, "I sprained it when I was in the army, and it took me more than a month." The doctor smiled. , said: "Then this time it will last more than a month. Your lumbar spine is a second sprain. You also know that an old injury is better than a new injury. Moreover, there are signs of severe compression. Fortunately, it is not broken or broken. Injured the spinal cord. If the force is greater, your waist will probably be abolished, and you may have to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair."
