Fletcher Tashi Among the Monks Chapter 26

Yadong is on the border between China and India. The Kashag government and the Tibetan army have set up checkpoints here. Inside and outside the checkpoint, people were coming and going, and people of all kinds gathered together, including business gangs from Lhasa, as well as business gangs from Yunnan, Xikang, and Sichuan. There are headmen, housekeepers, waiters, footmen, Indians and Nepalese, all of whom are dressed in different and colorful costumes. In a flash, it has been two years since Baimala came to Dongguan, and he was looking around with his Tibetan soldiers.

Dawa Yangzong, a girl from Kham, was riding a horse with a whip in her hand, directing the horse team to unload and rest in an empty field. Father Yangzong is leading people to set up tents and build a temporary camp. The beauty of Dawa Yangzong attracted Pema, and he stopped and looked at her. Yangzong noticed that Baima was looking at her, and she turned away arrogantly and ignored her at all.

There is a Mani pile at Yadongguan Pass. The prayer flagpoles are covered with prayer flags. The colorful prayer flags are fluttering in the wind, which is really beautiful. It was getting dark, and the passing business gangs gathered in front of Manidui and lit piles of bonfires. They drank on the grass, played dice, danced Guozhuang, and sang and danced. Pema, several Tibetan army officers, local officials, and young men from the caravan were also among them. They gathered around, played dice, drank and had fun.

A group of Kamba girls dancing the Reba dance, passionate and wild. Everyone present was attracted by them, and Dawa Yangzong in the dance was particularly eye-catching. She is in her twenties, a very beautiful girl with graceful dancing. A young master came forward, danced with her, and put his arms around her wantonly, but Yangzong dodged. Young Master Xiuwu stepped forward to hug her again, and Dawa Yangzong raised his hand, shining a big mouth on his face.

Everyone laughed when they saw this.
