Chapter 594: Singing Mountain Songs
Director Biao is very enthusiastic and very talkative, and he calls the driver brother Pangolin. The driver seemed to be accustomed to such a title, and he was not angry, and he smiled the whole time, making him look like a big-bellied Maitreya Buddha.
Before the bus drove out of Rongcheng City and climbed onto the highway, Director Biao kept saying some precautions, and these precautions were basically the same as those found by Tang Tang in the online strategy.
Ning Yu and Tang Tang only slept for about two hours in the early hours of the morning, and at first they were excited because they had embarked on the journey when they first got into the car, but with the shaking and slight bumps of the car, the sleepiness could not be suppressed, and they both fell asleep after a while.
Although the two of them woke up several times with the car in the middle of the way, they basically opened their eyes every time and found that the car was still driving, and soon fell asleep again.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, the car finally came to a slow stop.
Biao said: "The area we are entering now is mainly inhabited by the Qiang ethnic minority. You can also see that the living conditions here are not as good as the city where we live, and the income sources here are relatively simple, and the income is relatively meager. The small supermarket and toilet on the right hand side were built by the Qiang people who live here, so it is convenient here, not free, and it costs one dollar per person at a time. Moreover, going to the toilet here is not about going to the toilet, but about singing mountain songs. ”
Someone in the car raised his hand and said with a smile: "Director Biao, I want to sing a mountain song." ”
The crowd laughed.
Director Biao smiled: "Yes, that's what it means." People here don't trust mobile payments yet, so I hope you have to have change. One yuan to sing a song, one yuan, no matter how big or small, is only one yuan. One yuan, you can't buy a loss, you can't be fooled, you can be convenient for yourself, and it can be regarded as a reward for the Qiang locals who built toilets in this difficult place to facilitate tourists. ”
Everyone laughed again, without any ridicule, but simply felt that Director Biao was very humorous and spoke very interestingly.
The car stopped steadily, and everyone got out of the car one after another.
After Ning Yu and Tang Tang went to the men's and women's bathrooms to sing a mountain song each, they returned to the car, looking at the surrounding mountains and the closer and bluer sky, both of them felt a lot more open-minded.
"The air is so nice here!" Tang Tang closed his eyes and opened his arms, took a deep breath of fresh and cool air, and felt extremely comfortable.
Ning Yu nodded and said, "Yes, the mountain here is also very high. ”
Director Biao walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, and asked Ning Yu and Tang Tang with a smile: "Have you sung a mountain song?" ”
Tang Tang nodded and said, "Well, I didn't expect it to be quite clean inside." ”
Biao said: "Yes, this boss is very down-to-earth and hardworking, and has a good reputation, so most travel agencies will choose to stop here and rest when they take this Jiuhuang route." It is said that they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to draft, their geology is relatively special, and they have no food to rely on the mountains and water, so they can only rely on such service facilities to ensure income. ”
Ning Yu sighed: "It's really not easy. ”
Biao said: "In fact, for our travel agency, where to take everyone to stop and where to arrange for everyone to eat, it is the same cost. Therefore, people who are still hardworking, down-to-earth, and willing to work are more popular, and the more they earn, so that people here will work harder to provide good services, and they can attract more tourists to travel here, which is a virtuous circle. I believe that the Jiuhuang Line will definitely become the top star line in the country, so that more people will fall in love with this place and everyone here will be rich. ”
In fact, at this time, Ning Yu and Tang Tang didn't quite understand why Director Biao had such feelings, in their opinion, the scenery and environment here are so good, even if there are no tourists, the people here can live well by themselves, why do they still rely on tourists?
This question didn't need to be answered by Director Biao, and they quickly found the answer on their own.
After a short stay, the trip continued, and the tourists in the same group sang mountain songs one after another and returned to the bus, and the guide Biao dutifully counted the number of people, and then the pangolin master started the bus and returned to the main road.
The right side of the bus is the mountains, the left side is the Minjiang River, there are few pedestrians along the way, and there are few villages.
According to Biao, the main plant planted on the roadside is pepper.
It is said that pepper originated in India and spread as a spice to all parts of the world, even causing wars in Europe. The earliest record of pepper in China's historical materials can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty, which was brought back by Master Xuanzang who traveled west to learn scriptures from the Western Regions, and finally miraculously settled down in this barren land, becoming the most important condiment in the land of Sichuan and Shu.
This thing is very fragrant after being fried, and it can also help users remove moisture from the body, which can be said to be a miraculous existence of half medicine and half food.
After passing the relatively flat section, the bus drove into the mountain road, which also made the whole bus nervous.
Although the mountain road is very wide, the side of the mountain is blocked by a large net that cannot see the edge, and under the net are intercepted boulders that have rolled down from the mountain, and broken stones, some of which are almost hanging on the roof of the car, as if they will break through the net at any time to intercept it. In addition, because the roads here are built along the mountain, there are many curves, and you see that there is suddenly no road in front of you, but the bus suddenly makes a sharp turn and enters a new section. Some sections have fences blocking the road at the edges, while others are empty and have a cliff on the outside.
Biao Dao said that they ran this line, especially afraid of thunderstorms, a mudslide down, the road was blocked, and the ground was slippery in the rain, not very experienced old drivers, not familiar with the road here, once the control is not good when turning, may directly rush out of the roadside fence, into the abyss.
Once, the regiment led by Biao encountered a heavy rain and was jammed with traffic on the road. At this time, there was a mudslide, and it was in the middle of the road in a traffic jam. Then, countless people present watched as the three private cars were slowly pushed out of the roadside by the mudslide and fell off the cliff. Fortunately, the people in the car found out that the situation was wrong in advance and ran out, and there were no casualties, but the car was lost and could not be recovered.
Another time, Director Biao saw with his own eyes that a private car was driving faster than the pangolin master on this section of the road, overtaking on such a narrow two-way road, and when he made a sharp turn, one did not hold on, and directly rushed out with the car, and the result was that the car was destroyed and killed without looking.
Director Biao probably just wanted to show that the road here is not easy to walk, and the road conditions are particularly complicated, but the two examples directly scared everyone. He realized that he had talked a little too much, scratched his head with an embarrassed smile, and began to change the topic and talk about some light-hearted content, but everyone had already heard the shadows at this time, and they were all in the mood to listen to him talk about something else, they were only staring at the sky outside the car window in fear, and only looked forward to the three-day tour without heavy rain.
Ning Yu saw Tang Tang's nervousness, and whispered comfortingly: "It's going to be fine, don't worry." ”
Tang Tang shook his head and said, "I'm not worried, I just think it's not easy for people living here." ”
In the most difficult environment, fighting against God and declaring war on nature is indeed very difficult to survive, what kind of life can we talk about?
Although Tang Tang and Ning Yu were asleep when passing through Wenchuan, they didn't hear anything about the earthquake period, but from the environment here, it can be imagined that once an earthquake occurs here, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as shaking the earth.
Every family is out of order, the Minjiang River flows backwards, and the corpses are everywhere......
Just thinking about that scene makes people uncontrollable red circles.
The bus traveled for about two hours on this section of the road and finally arrived at the Kawajoji Temple. According to the arrangement of the travel agency, everyone wants to taste the Qiang cuisine here.
The restaurant is made of concrete and wood, and is divided into two floors. Ning Yu and the others went up to the second floor under the leadership of Director Biao, divided into three large tables, and then watched the dishes being delivered one by one, and the initial anticipation turned into disappointment. Most of the dishes on the table are not delicious in texture and taste, although they are not unpalatable, but they are definitely not on the same level as everyone fantasized before. The only thing that comforted everyone was the plate of yak meat, but the two chopsticks per person were gone.
But if you think about it, there are not many supplies here, and it is really not easy to have such a table that at least seems to be rich.
According to what Director Biao said, Ning Yu and the others reported a high-priced and high-quality group, so they could have such treatment, and even lived in a five-star hotel with a price of hundreds of yuan a night in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area. Changing to those mid-range groups, the food is even worse.
Indeed, Tibetan resources are limited, and whoever measures everything by the standards of the city here is definitely having a problem with their brains.
No matter how delicious it is or not, everyone is full of food and drink anyway, and most people are satisfied with the legendary yak meat for the first time.
After the meal, the itinerary continues, and the next stop will be directly to the first destination, Huanglong Scenic Area.
Leaving Songpan, passing through the Martyrs' Long March Monument Park located on a low mountain, the altitude began to climb all the way, during which only stopped at the plateau ambulance, there were people in white coats who got on the bus to do an explanation of altitude sickness, which was extremely scary, but in fact it was selling a small bottle of oxygen-rich water and saffron oral liquid of 100 yuan.
Because Ning Yu and Tang Tang came in too haste, they didn't have time to make preparations in these aspects, so they sold two hundred yuan, and each of them bought a bottle of oxygen-rich water that looked no different from pure water.
After that, the bus continued to climb upward, heading straight for the altitude of more than 3,000 people, and there were fewer and fewer vehicles on the road, and the buildings that could occasionally be seen were already low houses, such as the kind that can only be seen on TV full of colorful flags.
Those colorful flags are densely covered with scriptures and Buddha images, and even after the wind and sun, the colors are still bright.
On the hills on both sides of the road, you can occasionally see scattered yaks, as well as herds of goats that can actually climb the rock face. Looking further through the window, you can already see the continuous snow-capped mountains.
In addition to the snow-capped mountains, there are also pure black mountains, as well as mountains covered with green vegetation, and colorful mountains make this place look like a legendary fairy sanctuary.
Director Biao smiled at this time and said, "After this mountain, we will arrive at the first stop of the day, Huanglong Scenic Area." ”
