Chapter 1

All changes began in the summer of 1950

That year was the year of the Iron Tiger in the Tibetan calendar, and I was 10 years old.

Our Ranba family is the largest Kangba head man in Baiyu area. Our family has three large horse gangs, hundreds of households and Duoqian. There are dozens of Langsheng in Xika alone.

Ranba’s watchtower is the tallest and most beautiful in a radius of dozens of miles. Standing on the watchtower, you can see the surging river in the distance.

That spring, my second brother brought back news from the Ganzi Horse Racing Gang that said that the Red Han people and the Baihan people fought in Chengdu. I heard that the Baihan people were defeated, and many defeated soldiers retreated to the Kangba area. The situation outside was very chaotic.

My dad doesn't seem to care about this news, after all, wars are everywhere over the years

Fortunately, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one can care about it

I suddenly remembered that last summer, I saw a large group of Han people crossing from Hexi at the Gangto Ferry not far away. I heard that it was Kasha who drove the Han people in Tibetan back to the mainland.

Maybe it's related to this battle between the Red and White Han people

I didn't care about that at that time

Those days my dad was driving me to a private school with a whip, and I used all the ways I could think of - lying, cheating, running away... to escape

I think my guerrilla talent was revealed for the first time at that time.

When the barley was ripe, rumors became reality

First, the Red Han army entered Ganzi, and then, Baiyu, Dege, Batang and Litang all came a large number of Han soldiers wearing yellow uniforms.

However, these Han troops are different from other Han troops in the past. They do not send or collect grain, and they are in peace with the Tibetans in Kangba.

My father said that when he was running the horse gang more than ten years ago, he met the Red Han Army in Jinchuan.

It was a very strange army, ragged but well-armed, kind to people, fairly traded, paid silver dollars and gold bars for all the food they bought

He said that now these Han troops seem to be in line with the Red Han army back then

However, he was very dissatisfied with the Red Han Army's practice of sending people to help Ba work from time to time and sending piles of poor food, believing that people will become lazy and disobedient in this way.

One day in late autumn, because I skipped school for more than ten consecutive days, my father whipped me twice and said he wanted to take me to the Noido Temple on the other side to let the great lama discipline me.

In desperation, I slipped out of my house, followed a team of loads across the river from the ferry, and ran to my uncle's house on the other side.

My uncle Dama is the supervisor of the Choixi in Sanye Monastery. His creek is much smaller than my family.

His family also has a horse gang. My two brothers always bring them to Lhasa to sell goods, so my uncle and his family have always been grateful to my family, and several cousins ​​have also treated me well.

When my uncle saw me, he scolded me first, and then said he wanted to send me back

But I cried and made a fuss, threatening to run to Lhasa alone, and he stopped.

After living in my uncle's house for a few days, I found that this place was even more nervous than Jiangdong. There were Tibetan soldiers carrying guns everywhere, and fortifications were also built at the ferry entrance, looking like they were facing a great enemy.

The eldest cousin Anshu was an officer in the Tibetan army for ten generations and usually lived at home.

He heard that the Han army planned to enter Tibet and stationed in Lhasa. Kashag firmly disagreed and concentrated the nine main versions of the Tibetan army in Chamdo, swearing to block the Han army from entering Tibet to the death.

I didn't feel funny when I heard this. I don't know what evil these Han people have been involved in. I must go to Lhasa.

I remember hearing from my elder brother tell me about the ancient times, saying that the Great Dharma King and the Two Dharma Kings had a dispute a few years ago, and the Two Dharma Kings ran to the Han area and later wanted to return to the Tibetan area. The Kashag and the Great Dharma King refused, but they died in the same place.

Now the Han people are going to Tibet, and they are carrying guns and cannons. Kashag will definitely fight them desperately.

But I don't think this is a big deal. After all, my dad and my brothers have told me that for many years, the Han people have said they want to enter Tibet, and have sent troops to Tibet many times, but they have been driven out again and again

They can't even stay in Kangba, let alone Weizang

They just used Tibet as a guise to destroy money and eliminate disasters

What was most upset for me at that time was going home

I promised my uncle to live for a while and then go back, so he asked me to stay.

Time passed day by day, and I became more and more irritable

Suddenly one night, we were awakened by the fierce sound of gunfire

Everyone ran to the yard in fear and heard that they were all confused

The sound of gunfire did not come from the river defense front where the two armies confronted each other in the east, but came to the direction of Chamdo to the west.

There is the rear of the Tibetan army, and a large number of Tibetan soldiers are stationed

Everyone was confused. The cannons in Hedong sounded, and then the sound of gunfire came from the direction of the ferry.

Everyone was panicked and understood that it must be the Han army from Hedong who came here

My uncle hurriedly drove all the women and children into the cellar of the watchtower, and ordered his servants to go to the watchtower to defend strictly. He hurried to the Samye Monastery

That day, gunfire sounded for a whole day

When the sun set the next day, my cousin ran back in a dirt

Everyone hurriedly asked about the situation outside, and the cousin said in a daze: It’s over, the Han people have been fighting for ten generations, and they are all finished!

In the next few days, the whole family stayed behind closed doors and only sent the housekeeper to inquire about the situation.

It was not until more than ten days later that we learned that the Tibetan army had been trampled by the Han army, and the nine dynasties had almost completely destroyed. Chamdo had been occupied by the Han army.

Rumors spread everywhere, people were in panic

A few days later, my uncle saw that the gunfire outside had completely stopped, and the Han army had no intention of making things difficult for Tibetans, so he quickly sent someone to send me back to Hedong's house.

The big changes that have happened these days seem to have woken me up

I no longer cheat on truant and skip school, and I plan to go to school obediently

But then I realized that the private school I had originally studied was gone, and the Han people replaced it with the primary school established by Baiyu.

Although I didn't want to go to school, I honestly went to school.

I went to school for two years intermittently, and I heard all kinds of news during this period. First, it was said that the Dafa King was in charge of power, and then there was news that the Dafa King had gone to a foreign country. Later, it was suddenly said that the Dafa King and the Two Dharma Kings had reconciled, and the Two Dharma Kings had returned to the sect.

Later, news came that the Dafa King signed a peace agreement with the Han people, and the Han army really entered Lhasa.

Things in the world change like a lantern, and everyone knows that the past days will not come back

I didn't have the intention to go to school. I have been in school for more than two years and have learned nothing but writing my own name.

My dad finally gave up on me. When I was thirteen, I finally left school and went to the horse-drawn gang with my two brothers.

Life seems to be back on its original track

The horse racing gang is my favorite life. I followed the horse racing gang to Qinghai, went to Sichuan, and went to Lhasa once and made many friends.

In more than a year, I can take the horse gang alone on behalf of my brother.

When I was fifteen, my father officially asked my elder brother to hand over the horse gang he brought to me. My elder brother stayed at home to take care of his own Xika instead of my father.

That summer, when the river was in full swing, I came back from the Chamdo Horse Racing Gang and told me clearly about the money and goods. Just as I was about to go to Baiyu Town to have a drink with my friend, my father suddenly called me away.

I went to the back hall with him and found a pot of wine and a few side dishes there, but only two pairs of bowls and chopsticks. I felt uncomfortable all over.

Judging from today's attitude, my dad wants to drink alone with me, which is something I have never seen before.

Although the family business is now managed by our brothers and sisters, the father still takes charge of the major matters, so I still keep my distance from his majesty

Although I was outside, I was not separated from my friends tobacco and alcohol, but I didn’t drink in front of my father, and even if the whole family had dinner together, it was no exception.

Today my dad is posing like this. It seems that he treats me as an adult. I don’t know what medicine I sell in the gourd.

I was thinking about it all, and my father poured wine while suddenly saying something was ignorant: I plan to give Zhuoma to Xiaba

My dad and I mentioned this incident a bit surprised me a little

In our place, we should look at the power of a leader, not only his horse gang and creek, but also his family's Langsheng. They are also an important part of the leader's property.

Therefore, once the daughters of all the heads have their own family, they will be given to the Langsheng in their yard as soon as possible, so that they can give birth to more young Langsheng and seek personal prosperity

Zhuoma is a Langsheng raised by my family. She has a round face, big eyes, a high nose bridge, thin waist and long legs. People who have seen her say she is the most beautiful girl in Baiyu.

I heard from my elder brother that Zhuoma was bought with a horse reins the year I was born. I bought it at 3 years old.

She served me as soon as I can remember, and ran around with me on my back

Although I spend more time outside than at home, she is the one who serves me at home as long as I am at home.

In my family, maybe the whole Baiyu is probably the one who is Xia Ba's favored, because he is the best Langsheng in my family. He is capable, obedient, and has always been loyal and loyal Geng Geng.

In fact, in a family like ours, it is better to marry a cow in the circle than to breed a cow in the circle, it is just a matter of my father's words.

So, I still don't understand why my dad told me this, and it's so serious.

My dad probably saw what I was thinking and said something I will never forget for the rest of my life: Come and test her redness

Red test is an ancient rule passed down from generation to generation

When a domestic girl is compatible with a man, she has to stay in the owner's house for inspection on the first night. She can only meet the man who has given her a house to complete the house.

If she can't see Hong, she will be miserable

The most common place to go is to be stripped naked and thrown into the wild dogs, or tied up with stones to sink to the river.

If her appearance is really outstanding and her luck is surprisingly good, she may also be bought quietly by the Han people who come from afar at a high price - the value of a whole sheep - and sent it to the kiln in Ganzi or the arrow furnace to be a woman for all the men coming and going.

It is precisely because of such an ancient rule that the girls in Kali in each stream of Kangba are very pure, and Zhuoma is the purest of them.

This is probably the reason. When I heard my father's words, I couldn't help but feel excited.

Zhuoma was taller than me at that time, with a tall body, a rosy face, a strong butt, and a bulging chest. No matter how the man saw her, he would not be indifferent.

Actually, I knew nothing about women at that time

Although I can find a coquettish boss in many foot shops on the Tea Horse Road, and I can get a hot bed for a night without spending a few dollars, I have never tasted the taste of a woman until then.

At that time, women were just tools for having children in the future, but just talks about spending time with my companions on horseback.

I was also confused about the red test and only vaguely knew about the matter involving men and women, but what happened was not very clear

Now this matter suddenly came before me, making me a little confused

My father was obviously prepared for my embarrassment. He asked me to pour a glass of wine by myself, watched me drink the wine and said: I will do it for them in these few days. You will test Zhuoma tonight.

As he said that, he took out a thin yellow book from under the table

Looking at the dense texts on the book, I blushed and felt a little at a loss because I didn't know a single word.

My father didn't care. He turned to the back page. It was a strange picture. It was a small cannon-like thing poked into the gap in a clam shell.

I first felt that the cannon-shaped thing looked familiar, and suddenly realized what it was. It was almost exactly the same as the guy in my crotch, but there were dense hairs on the back, and mine didn't

Later I learned that the picture was called Vajra Pork Jade Lotus. My father pointed to the picture and told me that the clam-shaped thing was called a cunt, which was where a woman had sex with a man in her crotch.

Testing the red is to use my male root to penetrate into the crack, poke it to the end, and poke it to see the red. This is called fucking

If there is no redness, pull the male root out and fuck it

If the man's root is soft and it will not turn red, the girl will have to feed the wild dog

Later he showed me another picture, which looked like two fairy peaches. He told me that this is called a breast-soft painting, which painted a woman's breasts, and taught me how to identify the advantages and disadvantages.

Finally, he took out a piece of white silk and told me that when I was testing the red, it was spread under Zhuoma's butt. If I could see the red, I would like to see it.

After explaining this, my father drank a few more glasses of wine with me, and then said to me: It's getting late, and there is still a ticket to go to Ding Qing the day after tomorrow. I've already explained it. I'll do it today.
