Lu Yue's mother passed away when she was 11 years old. From then on, no one talked to Lu Yue about her mother. Not mentioning it did not mean that Lu Yue would forget. In fact, she had never stopped thinking about him.
Right now, Lu Yue was very eager to talk about her mother with someone who had interacted with her. Lu Yue wanted to know what her mother said and thought at the last moment of her life.
The two of them arrived outside the village chief's house. This was a typical Tibetan residence. There were two floors. The first floor was where the family lived and the living room, while the second floor was the temple hall. It was a very large courtyard.
Lu Yue stood outside the courtyard and shouted,"Is anyone there? Is Master Ci Ren here?"
Lu Yue was answered by a series of barks, and a black Tibetan Mastiff rushed out. His body was tall and mighty. Lu Yue, who was completely caught off guard, was so frightened that she forgot to run. Huo Jiakai had already blocked Lu Yue.
The black Tibetan Mastiff growled at Huo Jiakai, but it wagged its tail at Lu Yue who was behind him.
Lu Yue slowly walked up from behind Huo Jiakai. The black mastiff immediately stopped barking and turned into a series of murmurs, as if it was carefully apologizing. His gaze also became gentle.
At this moment, a 60-year-old Tibetan man in a Tibetan robe ran out of the house. He had white hair and deep wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes. He was shocked when he saw the Tibetan Mastiff.
This black mastiff had been through soul exorcism since it was young. It was a famous shepherd mastiff within a few hundred miles and often helped herder yaks. He could fight two or three wolves. He was very vigilant towards strangers. How could he be so respectful to a little girl?
When the old man looked up and saw Lu Yue, he was shocked. He really thought that the incarnation of Guanyin, Bai Du Mu, had descended in front of him. Such a beautiful girl was like a fairy on the mountain.
Lu Yue suppressed her excitement and asked politely," Excuse me, are you Village Chief Ciren?”
The old man replied gently," It's me, child. What's the matter? Come in first and have a cup of butter tea.”
Because Ciren often dealt with Han people, he could speak Mandarin. Generally speaking, Tibetans who were in their senior years could not speak Mandarin, especially those who lived in the mountains.
When they entered the house, the son of the village chief, Zha Xi, came out to pour butter tea for Huo Jiakai and Lu Yue. He was a simple and honest middle-aged man with the same dark red skin and a gentle expression.
Lu Yue couldn't hold it in any longer. She told Village Chief Ciren about her visit and wanted to inquire about the accidental death of a female scientist seventeen years ago.
When Grandpa Ci Ren heard this, he looked at Lu Yue carefully and said," Although it has been a long time, I still remember it very clearly because that woman only died after talking to me.”
Master Ci Ren asked Lu Yue," What's your relationship with her? Look closely, you look very similar. That girl is also very beautiful and kind.”
Lu Yue quickly said," I'm her only daughter. I was still young when my mother passed away. Now, I really want to know how my mother passed away. What did he say before he died?"
Ci Ren slowly recalled as he narrated.
That day, I was driving the sheep home from the mountain when I suddenly heard a woman shouting angrily. She said, I won't let you have your way. After a while, he saw a woman jump down from the slope. The slope was very steep. After she fell, she rolled down and was stopped by a big rock at the foot of the mountain.
I quickly ran over. She was already unconscious at that time. When she rolled down, she must have hit some rocks or tree stumps. She had injuries on her head, and the injuries on her head were very serious.
I carefully helped her up and found that she was still breathing. She grabbed my hand tightly, her eyes seemed to have a ball of fire. She stared at the mountain not far away and asked me if that mountain was called Meili Snow Mountain.
Lu Yue couldn't help but want to interrupt Ciren several times. She had too many questions to ask, but Huo Jiakai stopped her.
Now, she didn't care about anything else and asked," Master Ciren, you said you heard my mother talking to someone else, so there were other people present. Who are they? Since my mother said that, my mother's death was probably not an accident but a murder.”
Master Ci Ren said," At that time, I seemed to see two people sticking their heads out from behind the hill. They quickly disappeared. I didn't see them clearly. Your mother did jump down from the hill. Maybe he was forced to."
Huo Jiakai also had a question in his heart. At this moment, he couldn't help but ask," Village Chief Ci Ren, how many Meili Snow Mountains are there? Isn't the Snow Mountain Prince Meili Snow Mountain?" Why was there a Meili Snow Mountain here?”
Grandpa Ci Ren replied," Don't worry, child. We're almost there. The woman was staring at La Zeng Gui and Bu Feng. I nodded and told her that the mountain range that our Meili Water Village was nestled in was the real Meili Snow Mountain. After hearing this, she seemed to have finally settled a matter on her mind. She sighed regretfully and breathed her last.”
"Master Ciren, can you tell me, if this mountain range is the real Meili Snow Mountain, then what is the other Meili Snow Mountain?”
Master Ci Ren told them that in the 1960s, a survey team of the People's Liberation Army came to Deqin County and had a misunderstanding when communicating with the locals. They mistook the snow mountain Prince Peak as Meili Snow Mountain and marked the name of Meili Snow Mountain on the map, so they were later called away.
Outsiders didn't know much about the Tibetan region, so they could only use the map as a guide. Therefore, people outside the Tibetan region believed that the Crown Prince of the Snow Mountain was Meili Snow Mountain, so the news spread. The real Meili Snow Mountain has always been here to protect us.
Huo Jiakai and Lu Yue now understood that Lu Yue's mother had found the clue to the Meili Snow Mountain, which was the small mountain range in front of them. However, she had been searching for the Crown Prince Peak for many days. No wonder she had found nothing.
Lu Yue and Huo Jiakai bid farewell to Village Chief Ciren with mixed feelings.
The village chief looked at Lu Yue and couldn't help but say," Your mother would be very happy to see you now. You are like the goddess of our snowy mountain.”
Lu Yue and Huo Jiakai left Village Chief Ciren's house and hired a 27-year-old young man, Labu, as a guide.
Rabu was of medium build and was very strong. He looked like a great young man. Labu often brought people into the mountains and was very experienced. Rabu was dressed like a young man from the mainland, wearing jeans and a checkered shirt. It was very casual. He was also cheerful and good at talking.
Rabu told them that when the snow water at low altitudes melted in summer, the ice on the top of the mountain would lose its solid support and become very unstable, making it easy for avalanche. If they wanted to climb the mountain, it would be best to wait until winter.
Moreover, there would be many ice cracks and huge holes under the shallow ice in summer. With a step, the fragile ice layer would break, and there would be ice holes that were a few meters or dozens of meters deep. Not to mention humans, some animals that lived in the snowy mountains all year round would also fall into it if they were not careful.
Lu Yue said," Thank you for reminding me. I'm not going to climb to the top. You just have to bring us to the North Slope."”
Only then did Labu feel at ease and go to prepare the things to enter the mountain.
