"Of course, I was sent to my grandmother's place after I was born in Tuotuo River. My mother is a lark of the prairie. She will never leave Hoh Xil. Before I was ten years old, I always fell sick. My father said that because I grew up in the mainland, I was not used to the highland climate there. Therefore, my father was afraid that I wouldn't be able to withstand the wind and snow there, so he didn't let me go to school far away. My entire elementary school curriculum was taught by my father at home.
I was born to love dancing. I love to dance wherever I stand. My mother said that I look too much like her when she was young. After my brother passed away, my mother focused on teaching me how to dance, as if she wanted to make up for all of my brother's love. It wasn't until I was thirteen that I left the Tuotuo River and went to Yushu Prefecture in Kangba to attend middle school. I didn't expect Yushu to be my heaven. In Yushu, singing and dancing became a spiritual need in the lives of the Yushu people.‘They can talk, sing, walk, and dance. The Yushu Grassland was known as the ocean of singing and dancing, the hometown of singing and dancing. My talent for singing and dancing was even more developed in Yushu. I studied at Yushu Middle School until I graduated from high school. Not only is my singing and dancing famous in Yushu Prefecture, but my academic results are also top-notch. It won't be a problem for me to get into university.
I usually live on campus and occasionally go to Grandma's place to visit. During the holidays, she returned to her parents in Tuotuo River. At that time, my father would often come to Yushu to visit me, so even though he was far away from his parents, he didn't feel tired. When I applied for university, my father insisted that I choose a school in the mainland. He said that it was easy to develop in the mainland and that his daughter should return to the mainland to live in the future. Therefore, I enrolled in the art department of this university. It can be considered as fulfilling my father's and my dream. However, I didn't expect my parents to suddenly die in an accident when I was in my second year of university.”
"Was it a car accident?" Gao Tian held Bai Yunge's hand and asked with concern.
"No, it's a fire." Bai Yunge bit her lips in pain. When she talked about her parents 'deaths, her eyes were filled with tears.
"Yun Ge, good child, I'm sorry. We brought up your unhappy memories.”Xia Yuhong patted Yun Ge affectionately.
The white cloud pigeon shook its head. "Auntie, don't worry. I've already experienced things that are even sadder than the death of my parents. I won't be sad anymore. I'm just a little excited. Because after my parents passed away, I never told anyone the story of my parents 'sacrifice.”
"The wind on the grasslands comes all year round. Once it blows, it will be endless. A strong wind blew again one day. When my father came back from his tour, he and my mother sat in a yurt to avoid the strong wind. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a child crying in the wind. Then, there was a knock on my door.
My father saw that it was the child of the neighbor, Zha Xi. The child was only ten years old. He went into the house and grabbed my father's clothes desperately and said,'Fire, fire!'。My father went out to take a look. Zha Xi's yurts were already on fire. The fire was spreading to other places with the help of the wind.
'Why is there a fire? Where are your parents?
The child was so frightened that he could not speak. He only knew how to say 'herding the sheep'. Pointing at his burning fire, it took my father a long time to understand that he meant his three siblings were inside.
When my father heard this, he immediately rushed into the sea of fire without saying anything. He saved one child, then rushed into the fire to save the second child. When he turned around and rushed in to save the third child, my mother also rushed in. She rushed in to save my father. Other than my father's patrol, my mother is always inseparable. At this moment, she saw that my father was covered in flames and even risked his life to save that child. How could she watch my father die alone? So, without thinking, she followed my father into the sea of fire. The moment my parents rushed in, the yurt collapsed into the sea of fire. My parents never rushed out again.”
At this point, White Cloud Pigeon was already sobbing.
The Gaos were very sad about her misfortune. She was also touched by her parents 'heroic deeds.
" The surrounding herdsmen heard the news and rushed to save my parents. They didn't have time to care about the spread of the fire. The fire followed the wind and burned the neighboring yurts. Tuotuo Town was immediately engulfed in a sea of fire. By the time people put out the fire in Tashi's house and rescued my parents and the child, my yurt had turned to ashes. And my father was burnt beyond recognition, and no one could wake him up.
The villagers said that when they found my parents, because my father was covering my mother, and my mother was covering the child, the child could still cry, but my father had already been burned to death, and my mother had been unconscious.”
Although it had been three years since her parents died, and although Bai Yunge thought that she would not grieve anymore, she still felt extremely sad when she talked about her parents 'heroism today. She couldn't help but lean her head on Gao Tian's shoulder and sob softly. Gao Tian patted White Cloud Pigeon and comforted her,""Don't be sad anymore. It's all in the past. Your parents must have hoped that their cloud pigeon would live happily and be strong.”
Gao Pengfei took out a piece of tissue and gestured for Gao Tian to pass it to her. At this moment, he and Xia Yuhong were silent to express their respect and condolences to the parents of the white cloud pigeon.
Bai Yunge took the tissue and wiped her tears. She then said,"
"When I received a call from Zhiduo County, I rushed to Zhiduo Hospital. My mother is on her last breath. I remember that when Ah Ma saw me, she didn't say anything. She pulled off the jade pendant around her neck and pressed it tightly in my hand before saying intermittently,'Pigeon, mom…I'll give this to you. Remember, this is the only thing your family left for you…Keep it well, don't…lose it. Maybe it can…can…'Mother died before she could finish her sentence. I don't think I've ever seen Mom's jade pendant before. She must have worn it all year round. I believe that my father left this for her when he was alive. Now, this is the only memory my parents left for me. It represents my parents, my home. Since then, this thing has never left my body.
After burying my parents and leaving Hoh Xil, I really only had this jade pendant that my parents left me. What I didn't expect was that my uncle in Yushu actually refused to pay my tuition fees and didn't want me to go to school anymore. If you want me, I'll stay in Yushu and start a family. Grandma secretly collected enough money for me to return to Turtle City. After that, my life was in trouble. Although I earned the most scholarship in the school, I was far from paying the tuition fees. In order to save money, I sometimes only eat one meal a day. Although my friends Wen Heling and Yang Liu are not from a wealthy family, they always help me. In order to continue my studies and to survive, I worked everywhere after school, doing all kinds of hard and dirty work. That's why I cook and take care of the patients now.”
After Bai Yunge finished speaking, Xia Yuhong hugged her and cried.
"Poor Yun Ge, you poor child. I didn't expect you to suffer so much. In the future, with your aunt and Uncle Gao around, you won't go hungry no matter what.”
Gao Tian was also deeply moved by Yun Ge's story. "Pigeon," he said excitedly,"you don't have any relatives anymore. Just be my sister." Look at how much my parents like you. Just treat us as your family.”
"Yes, your brother Gao Tian is right. Yun Ge, you are fated with the Gao family. Your aunt and I are only missing a daughter in this lifetime.”
"Thank you, uncle and auntie. You really make me feel like my parents are alive.”
"How is it? Yun Ge, agree to be my sister? ok？”
"Yun Ge, just be our daughter, okay? Just think of us as your parents. Agree to your Brother Gaotian and our request, okay? At the very least, you should call us Godparents. Old Gao, don't you think so?”
"Yes, yes. However, it's best if you don't use the word 'Gan' and just call them 'Dad and Mrs.' directly."
White Cloud Pigeon smiled with tears in her eyes and softly called out,""Dad, Mom."
"Ah, that's right. Old Gao, our daughter is back. Gao Tian, from today onwards, you have a younger sister. You must take good care of her for us in the future.”
Gao Tian held Bai Yunge's hand tightly and looked at her shyly lowering her eyelashes like a doll that had not grown up. His heart ached. He did not know what kind of life this girl would face after she had experienced so much pain and was saved from the brink of death by him. He swore that no matter what, as long as Gao Tian was around, he would not let her walk down the path of death again.
