The new road does not climb straight up the ravine, as is the case with the old road. The newly built road begins to winding around the mountain as soon as it turns at the fork.

However, the new road is easy to run, and the asphalt is estimated to have just been paved in seven or eight days, and the road surface is smoother than the highway.

After several big turns in a row, the road rose to an altitude of two or three hundred meters, and it came directly to the halfway up the mountain. Looking to the right from the co-pilot, the old road was in the ravine at your feet.

There are also workers on the side of the road who are engaged in slope protection, and there are also workers who are tidying up the shoulders of the road, and it can be seen that the road is not completely completed.

However, this road has obviously replaced the old road below, and Lao Liu saw that there were still a lot of vehicles coming and going on the highway.

After driving for about ten kilometers, the old road, which had been under the foot on the right, gradually rose to the level of the new road, and finally the two roads merged into one again.

At this time, the altitude is already more than 5,000 meters!

"Dad, be careful not to slam on the gas pedal when driving, and don't stop and get up in a hurry. ”

"Why?"

"The altitude here is more than 5,000, the boiling point is less than 83 degrees Celsius, and the displacement of our car is close to 4.0, so you must pay attention to the water temperature of the water tank, don't boil!"

As soon as his son reminded him like this, the old driver Liu Dahe immediately understood what he meant.

If you still don't understand, a BMW X5 that has been boiled on the side of the road ahead is the best example......

Mo Lan: "Xiao Ang, do we want to help?"

Liu Dahe: "How can you help? There is no other way to boil the water tank, only to wait for it to cool down, there is no other way, and we can't help if we go." ”

Having said that, when the car approached the X5, Liu's father still slowed down, and Liu Moang lowered the window and asked loudly, "Dude, do you need help?"

The driver was four young people, two men and two women, and it was estimated that two young couples came to Namco to drive.

The four of them raised their heads and looked at the domineering Thunder Dragon off-road vehicle, and their faces showed envious looks.

One of the young men waved his hand and said, "Thank you, I don't need your help, just wait for the water to cool down." ”

Seeing that people didn't need help, Lao Liu didn't get out of the car with a shy face. After rolling up the window, Dad Liu slowly boosted the accelerator, and the car continued to run forward smoothly.

Chu Qian asked, "X5 can also boil?"

Lao Liu smiled: "Why can't X5 boil? Don't forget the altitude here." After more than 5,000 meters, it doesn't matter what kind of car you have, as long as you toss blindly at low speed and high torque for a long time, it is strange if you don't turn on the pot. I heard from the Dawa brothers that he had seen luxury cars such as the Big G and GLE boiling at this altitude. ”

Liu Dahe explained: "In fact, the larger the displacement of this car, the faster the water temperature rises. In such a high-altitude place, although the car with a large displacement is energetic, it is also easy to boil. In comparison, cars with a displacement of less than 2.0 are safer. ”

As he spoke, the car finally rushed to the top of the mountain.

In fact, it is not a mountain peak, it is a relatively flat area sandwiched between two peaks, with a radius of about 100 meters, surrounded by railings.

To the north of that clearing, there was also a huge stone tablet with faint words on it.

At this time, there were about seven or eight cars and about 20 tightly wrapped tourists taking pictures and videos there.

"This should be the famous Nagenla Mountain Pass, let's go down and have a look, and take photos and videos to commemorate by the way. Dad Liu looked very excited.

"It's okay to go out, fully armed, wear what you should wear, wear what you should wear. It's windy and cold outside, so don't catch a cold. Just look at the tourists out there. Also, try not to do strenuous activities after getting off the bus, this is the Nagenla Pass at an altitude of 5190, which is the traditional forbidden area of life, let's pay attention to it. Lao Liu said as he began to wear a down jacket.

Although the temperature outside is more than ten degrees now, and the sun is very good, it can't stand today's strong wind, and here is another pass, and the wind is stronger, so it is best to get out of the car after dressing neatly to avoid being copied by the wind and catching a cold.

Several people got dressed and got out of the car, and they were immediately blown around by the strong wind. The wind horse flags hanging on the wooden railings and mani piles were also blown by the strong wind.

This flat area is on the east side of the road, and there are several wooden steps to climb from the parking lot to the huge stone monument.

After climbing the wooden steps, the eyes of the four people were immediately drawn to the huge lake to the northwest.

"That's Namtso, it's beautiful!"

No matter who said this, there is no doubt that almost everyone who came here first would have said such an emotion after seeing the blue water in the distance.

Lao Liu was also shocked by the scenery in front of him.

Compared to the previously seen Lake Cuona, Namtso is undoubtedly more magnificent. In particular, standing at the Nagenla Pass at an altitude of 5,190 and looking down at Namtso at an altitude of 4,700, the feeling is even more incomparable.

The scenery in front of you can even make you feel a kind of "unity between heaven and man".

This is really not blowing, standing here and calming down, you can really feel that mysterious feeling......

Anyway, our Liu Daguan felt as if he was about to fly up in the wind when he stood here......

The four of them were all in a state of flux, and then after being poured into their stomachs, their attention was attracted by the huge stone tablet in front of them.

Compared with the memorial stele of Nianqing Tanggula Mountain on the east side of the inn, this stele directly on the ground is undoubtedly larger.

The stele is roughly an irregular pentagonal shape, with a height and width of more than three meters.

When you get closer, you can read the words on the stone tablet clearly.

Facing the stele from left to right are the three characters "Nagenla" in Tibetan and Chinese, and in the middle is engraved a poem with a much smaller font, and below the poem is English. On the far right side of the stele is the striking inscription "Elevation 5190".

The earthy yellow stone monument with red fonts, coupled with the altitude here and the surrounding scenery, makes this stone monument look very imposing.

"Who got this? Why did you burn this stone tablet?Also, why is there a small piece missing here?" Mo Lan gasped, but her tone was a little unhappy.

This is indeed the case, originally this stele should have been perfect, but unfortunately, the left side of this stele is missing a very obvious piece, and above the middle of the stele, that is, above the poem, I don't know how to burn a large piece of blackened......

These two huge and particularly conspicuous flaws make this stone tablet that should have been perfect a little distressing and infuriating......

But skipping these two flaws, the scenery here is really not covered.

Lao Liu took a lot of photos for his father and mother, and also recorded a lot of videos. The two of them even tried to light a cigarette here and smoke it, but the ordinary lighter brought up from below really couldn't work at this height.

As for Chu Qian, she stood in front of the stone tablet and stared at the poem.

After taking photos and videos of his parents, Lao Liu came to Chu Qian's side, and then he heard Chu Qian's muttering.

"That year

Kowtow on the mountain road

Not for the sake of the audience

Just to stick to your warmth

That life

Turn the mountain, turn the water, turn the pagoda

Not for the sake of cultivating future lives

Just to see you on the way"

Lao Liu looked up at the stele and realized that Chu Qian was talking about the poem on the stele.

Underneath the poem is the author's name – Cangyang Gyatso.

Lao Liu scratched his scalp and whispered to himself: "Why does this name sound so familiar?"

Chu Qian turned her head to look at Lao Liu beside her and smiled, "Cangyang Gyatso is the 6th Rinpoche, and he is also the most famous poet in the plateau. ”

"Ah, he's a Rinpoche?"

"Well, the real Rinpoche. Chu Qian nodded affirmatively, "This poem engraved on this stone tablet is two lines of poetry excerpted from his famous poem "That Life". It's so beautiful!"

Lao Liu scratched his scalp a little embarrassed, this kind of poetry is too profound for him, a scumbag.

"It's better not to see each other, so that you don't fall in love. It's better not to know each other, so that you don't fall in love. Chu Qian read softly, "Have you heard these two lines of poetry? This is also his work." ”

Lao Liu continued to scratch his scalp.

There is also this sentence, laughing at the glitz and glamour, and the moonlight is like washing. The smile passed quietly, and the flowers flew away. ”

......

Chu Qian recited several poems in a row, but Lao Liu didn't understand a word, but he could see that Chu Qian was entering a very wonderful state.

Well, it seems to be the legendary "Wenqing state".

Chu Qian looked at the dumbfounded Lao Liu, and was happy with a "poof", and then raised her pink fist and smashed Lao Liu's chest twice in annoyance, "What a good poem, why don't you understand it?

But as soon as these words came out, the girl realized that something was wrong, and her cheeks turned red, and she stopped standing in front of the monument, and hurriedly got into the car.

Lao Liu scratched his scalp with one hand and touched the chest that had just been smashed with the other, looking constipated.

turned his head to look, but saw that his parents were standing not far away and cheering at him, which made Lao Liu a little embarrassed.

The four of them stayed at the Nagenla Pass for about ten minutes before preparing to drive on.

And just as Lao Liu closed the car door, he saw two uniformed policemen rushing out of the blue and white public security checkpoint on the other side of the highway.

Lao Liu looked in the direction where the police were running and found that several people were gathering in front of the communication base station on the other side of the road, where something seemed to be happening.

"Dad, don't start the car yet. Almost subconsciously, Lao Liu stopped his father, "I'll go over and take a look, there may be an accident over there." ”

"Little Ang......" Mo Lan looked at her son with some concern.

"Mom, it's okay. You and my dad and Chu Qian are sitting in the car. I see all three of you are a little out of breath, so don't move, I'll go see if you need help. ”

Even if Chu Qian has adapted to the plateau, and Liu's father and Liu's mother have also drunk spring water to eliminate the high reaction, but after all, this is a forbidden area for life at an altitude of nearly 5,002. The oxygen content here is less than two-thirds of Tianqu, and even if there is no high reaction, this oxygen is still not enough.

Lao Liu is fine, he takes the white lion out for a run every morning, and he has already adapted to this low-oxygen environment.

Let the two trucks pass, and then trot across the road to the communication base station opposite.

Two policemen stood together with four or five people who knew at a glance that they were communications workers, and one of them was still shouting: "Don't move him yet, cover him with thick clothes to keep warm, I'll go back and get an oxygen cylinder, he needs oxygen now." ”

As soon as he said that, the policeman turned around and ran towards the checkpoint, while the other policeman said very unhappily: "How did you do this? You dare to bring him here to work when you know that he has only been on the plateau for two weeks?

As he spoke, the policeman took off his police cotton uniform and carefully covered the man lying on the ground, while he himself was shivering in the wind.

Lao Liu leaned up and saw a young man who looked to be in his twenties at most lying on the ground. It's just that this young man's situation is obviously very bad now. His face was a strange earthy gray, and his lips were a somewhat frightening bluish purple, which was a noticeable cyanosis.

The young man lay on the ground, his mouth open and closed, like a fish thrown on the shore. The most important thing is that he coughed from time to time, and some pink foamy phlegm appeared at the corner of his mouth......

This young man's symptoms made Lao Liu immediately chuckle in his heart.

After staying on the plateau for so long, and coming into contact with dozens of hyperreflex patients almost every day, could he still not know what the symptoms of this young man are now?

This is typical of acute altitude sickness, even to the point of extremely critical pulmonary edema.

At this time, a man in his thirties who looked like the leader of the construction team said anxiously: "Comrade police, I didn't know that Xiao Luo would have such a serious high reaction." Before coming up today, Xiao Luo said that he had already carried it over, and it was no problem to get five thousand, so I brought him up. If I had known that he was like this, I wouldn't have brought him up here to work......"

The men next to him were also a little scared and discussed.

These men all speak Mandarin with a strong Bashu accent, and it is clear that the members of this small construction team are all from Bashu.

The policeman glared at the man and said bitterly: "I see that you are also people who have been on the plateau for a long time, why don't you even know this most ordinary common sense? You just said that this young man has only been on the plateau for two weeks, and it is not a big problem if you are passing by Nagenla or staying here for a short time, but you came up for construction." Staying at such a high altitude for so long, doing physical work, do you really think this guy is Iron Man! What nonsense! Did you call an ambulance?"

The construction captain nodded hurriedly.

"Alas, look at his symptoms, do your best to obey the fate of heaven!" the policeman shook his head slightly.

The well-informed police officer obviously knew very well what the young man in front of him was facing. It's no exaggeration to say that the Grim Reaper's scythe is now resting on the young man's neck!

Lao Liu turned around and ran towards his car.

He also knew very well that this young man might not be able to hold out to the ambulance. Even if an ambulance comes, I am afraid that there will not be enough time for rescue. From here to the county seat, it takes at least an hour and a half to get on and off. This young man has been cyanotic now, so long......

When Lao Liu returned there with a bottle of spring water, the policeman had already brought a small oxygen cylinder just now and was inhaling oxygen for this young man. It doesn't seem to be working very well, though.

There were two men next to him who were already crying anxiously. Who has been on the plateau for a long time does not know how terrifying this kind of acute pulmonary edema is! Oxygen inhalation is just doing one's best......

"If you want him to live, don't take oxygen first, pour this bottle of potion on him, I guess he should be able to recover!"
