Chapter 116: Crossing the Nianqing Tanggula (2/4)

Lao Liu was kicked out.

To be exact, he was driven out by the combination of Molong and Tenzin Jebu.

"Isn't there me at home, you can just accompany your parents, your mother, and whoever else you have, and give you a day off!"

"Isn't it just the base of the Starry Sky House! Besides, isn't your brother-in-law here? If there is anything we can discuss, you can go and accompany your mother and your father and that one......" These are Tenzin Jebu's exact words.

As a result, Lao Liu can only sit in the co-pilot of the Xiaolong off-road vehicle now, pricking up his ears but not daring to listen back to the chat between the mother and son in the back seat.

The white lion is naturally lying on his stomach in the spacious trunk and snoring.

"Qianqian, Hangcheng is so good, why did you run to the plateau alone? Aren't you afraid?"

The car is about to drive to Dangquka County, and my mother's name Chu Qian has changed from the original "Xiao Chu" to the current "Qianqian......

"Auntie, what's there to be afraid of? The security on the plateau is good, I was a little scared at first, but after I came, I felt that there was no problem. Besides, my best friend from college is also in Sunshine City, so I have nothing to fear. ”

"Qianqian, then you ran out to paint alone...... Well, I mean......" Mo Lan pondered her words, "aren't you worried about accidents?"

"Okay, I was a little worried at first, but after running once or twice, I wasn't so worried. Auntie, I have learned self-defense, and I still have this ......" Chu Qian said, and took out a mobile phone from her pocket that was not much bigger than a palm, "This is a satellite phone, and I also have the corresponding solar emergency charging and hand-cranked charging equipment." With this, I am not afraid to go anywhere. ”

Lao Liu twisted his head slightly, looked at the satellite phone placed on the engine cover with the corner of his eye, and said secretly in his heart: "This girl doesn't look as simple as it appears on the surface." ”

What Chu Qian took out was a second-generation maritime satellite phone, and it was also a high-end product, and a satellite phone like this was more than 10,000.

"Auntie, in fact, I still have these ......" Chu Qian's voice was lowered, Lao Liu couldn't hear or see it, but from his mother's satisfied laughter, Lao Liu knew that this girl must be carrying something for self-defense.

"Girl, no matter what, you must pay attention to safety when you go out alone. If it really doesn't work, let Xiao Ang accompany you throughout the whole process. He's fine anyway......"

Mother's words made Lao Liu cover his forehead, and at this moment he upgraded from "Qianqian" to "girl".

He wanted to say to his mother: "Mom, Chu Qian and I are meeting for the third time today, and there are no things between us that you imagined......!

EMMMM...... Although this beautiful girl is a little tempting, now is really not the time......

"Auntie, no need, I'm used to running outside alone. Sure enough, Chu Qian decisively refused.

These words made Lao Liu feel a little empty in his heart.

seemed to feel that his son's mood was a little wrong, and Liu Dahe decisively interrupted the chat between the two behind him.

"Xiao Ang, should I turn left or right when I get here?"

Liu Moang looked up at the obvious road sign on the side of the road, which had very obvious "Namco Scenic Area" and direction indicators, and his father even asked.

However, Lao Liu immediately understood what his father meant, sent a grateful look to his father, and pretended to look at the mobile phone navigation, "Dad, turn right and go down this road." ”

"Son, you've never been here before, have you?"

"Nope. Since I came to the plateau, I have been busy with the affairs of the inn.,Where do you have time to play.。 ”

Liu Dahe raised his eyes and glanced at the two people in the back seat through the rearview mirror, and then said: "Then you have to come out and go around more when you have time, don't stay in the inn all day." Isn't your brother-in-law here? If you have something to do, let your brother-in-law keep an eye on it, and you will come out and walk around. ”

After a pause, Liu Dahe glanced at the rearview mirror again and said, "Xiao Chu, don't be embarrassed, if you want to go out to sketch, call my family Xiaoang and ask him to drive you out." It's much safer to have an extra companion outside, after all. ”

Lao Liu couldn't help but cover his forehead again.

Oh my God, what's wrong with Mom and Dad? Can we not be so obvious? Especially you, Dad, my son thought you were a good teammate just now, but I didn't expect you to be more ruthless than my mother!

Are you two going to mix doubles?

Chu Qian whispered "um", "Uncle, I'm just afraid of delaying Brother Liu's time." ”

The old mother said boldly: "What are you afraid of? What time does he have to delay? Girl, listen to Auntie, if you want to come out to paint, call Xiao Ang, let him accompany him throughout the whole process, and save any danger." ”

Lao Liu wanted to open the car door and jump out of the car directly, which was so embarrassing......

"Huh, what's that place in front of you, on the left, is the playground, why is it so big?" Chu Qian suddenly asked, attracting everyone's attention.

"That might be the racetrack in Dangquka County, right?" said Lao Liu, somewhat uncertainly.

Although he had never been here, he had heard Tashi Dawa talk about the famous racecourse.

Just west of the road to the Namtso Scenic Area, there is a large fenced field. This site is visually one kilometer long from north to south, and five or six hundred meters wide from east to west.

On the north side of the field, there is a rostrum facing east and a large green lawn about the size of a football field in front of the rostrum. To the south of this large lawn, there are several much smaller lawns.

These lawns are surrounded by several laps of running tracks of various sizes. However, this track does not look like a sports field, but rather a track that is formed directly on the ground.

"That's right, this is the racecourse in Dangquka County. Lao Liu glanced at the navigation on his mobile phone and saw the name of this area.

"Is there a racecourse here?, are there still horse races here?" Chu Qian asked curiously.

"I don't know very well, well, wait a minute, check the phone if you don't know!"

Liu Dahe pulled over the car and parked it on the side of the road, and the old Liu Lehe checked his mobile phone, and after a while, he said: "This is the place where the traditional festival of Dangquka County is held, the Dangjiren Horse Racing Festival." Wow, this Dangjiren Horse Racing Festival is not ordinary, it has a history of more than 300 years, and it can be said to be the grandest traditional festival in Dangquka County. ”

Then, Lao Liu told some of the news he had found on his mobile phone about the Dangjiren Horse Racing Festival, and the other three people in the car listened to it with great interest.

"Unfortunately, the festival was held in the middle of last month, and I was still on my way home. But don't worry, we can come and watch it at next year's horse racing festival. It's not far away anyway. ”

This year's Dangjiren Horse Racing Festival kicked off on August 8 and lasted for three days, almost 50 days after that.

Mo Lan patted her husband's shoulder with some frustration, "Let's go, the horse racing festival is over, why are you still poking here?"

After the racecourse, follow the well-paved road to the north.

It is worth mentioning that you can also see small saplings that have just been planted on the side of the road, each one is only about two meters tall and about the thickness of an adult's wrist.

However, there are not many people alive, and it is obvious that when Quka County is similar to Heishui, planting trees belongs to the kind of thing that is expected but unattainable......

After about four kilometers, the road suddenly widened a lot, and a toll booth resembling an archway appeared in front of me, with seven large red letters on it - Namtso National Park.

Above and below the seven big red letters are a little smaller in Tibetan and English, with a national flag fluttering in the wind in the middle, and next to the toll booth is a bungalow and a large parking lot, where many cars are parked and some tourists line up in front of a bungalow to buy tickets.

Lao Liu took the initiative to get off the bus and queue up to buy tickets, waited for about fifteen minutes, and spent 500 yuan to buy four tickets.

It's still the peak tourist season, and one hundred and twenty-one tickets need to pay another five yuan management fee to go to the Tashi Peninsula......

There are four passages at the toll booth, but three of them are lit with red lights, and only one is green.

After the staff checked the tickets, the Xiaolong off-road vehicle, which attracted many eyes, finally drove into the Namco Scenic Area.

"Xiao Ang, this is where Namu is wrong? Where is Namu's mistake? Why can't you see such a big lake?"

"Mom, do you see the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain in front of us? We have to climb over this mountain to see Namco, Namco is on the other side of the mountain. Hmm...... Lao Liu fiddled with his phone navigation, "there are still about fifty-five kilometers to go before we reach the Tashi Peninsula." ”

"Ah, it will take more than a hundred miles?" Mo Lan was a little disappointed.

Chu Qian was a little excited, she asked Lao Liu: "Brother Liu, what is the elevation of the highest pass of this mountain in front?"

"It seems to be the pass of Nagenla Mountain at an altitude of 5190. This pass is also the gateway from Dancchuka to Namtso or further Bangor. ”

"5190? Chu Qian stuck out her tongue.

"Actually, I've never been here, I've only listened to Tashi Dawa. His home is in Obacuo, at the foot of the south side of Nianqing Tanggula Peak, but since he was a teenager, he has followed his aunt over Nianqing Tanggula Mountain every year to Namu Cuo Zhuan Lake. Very religious. ”

"Is it the kind of thing that knocks and waits for the long head to turn around the lake?" Chu Qian has been on the plateau longer than Lao Liu, and there are some things she may know no less than Lao Liu.

"It's hard to say, some Tibetans go to the lake or the mountains on foot, but there are also many Tibetans who will kowtow and wait for their heads to turn to the lake. I don't know a lot about that. Lao Liu shrugged his shoulders and didn't go any further.

Here, Lao Liu usually treats the religious beliefs here with a respectful but not intimate attitude.

Mo Lan asked his son: "Xiao Ang, do any Tibetan compatriots on the plateau really walk thousands of miles to worship in Sunshine City with their long heads?"

"Well, a lot. Now is the season to plant barley, and next month the herdsmen will drive their cattle and sheep to the farm, so there are not many Tibetans on the road to worship now. When the barley is planted and the cattle and sheep are transferred, the Tibetans will have a lot of free time, and this is the peak period of worship. Mom, if you and my dad stay here longer, you can see a lot of worshippers on the national highway every day. Some Tibetans really trek thousands of miles to worship and are very religious. ”

This time, Mo Lan stuck out her tongue, "Xiao Ang, can these worshippers go so far alone? What do they eat and where do they live? They have to rest and eat." ”

"I've heard Tashi Dawa say that. He said that whenever he went to the Jokhang Temple to worship, many Tibetans went out with their families. There are those who are specifically responsible for logistics, and there are those who are dedicated to worship. In the past, Tibetan compatriots used to push wheelbarrows loaded with food and tents, and they would pitch tents wherever they went on pilgrimage. It's much better now, and a lot of Tibetans have cars, so now most of the pilgrims have logistics vehicles. ”

As soon as Lao Liu explained this, Mo Lan and Chu Qian could figure it out.

"Thief, there is a fork in the road ahead, how to go?"

Lao Liu raised his eyes and looked, and sure enough, not long after he walked out, there was a fork in front of him.

Two distinct roads, one new and one old, appear in front of you.

The old road was going north, and there were signs on the side of the road, which were the signs leading to Namtso.

But next to the new road, which looked like it had just been paved with asphalt, there was also a sign that was still shining silver and obviously had just been erected, and there was a hint on it that it was also the road to Namco.

Lao Liu remembered what Tashi Dawa had said, so he hesitated a little and pointed to the new road on the left and said: "These two roads may lead to Namco, right? ”

"Are you sure?"

"How can I be sure? I haven't been here. Lao Liu shrugged his shoulders.

Dad Liu simply turned on the double flash and parked the car on the side of the road, "Let's go, go down and smoke a cigarette, and see if there is a car to take this new road." ”

Seeing that the two of them got out of the car and had a good time, Mo Lan and Chu Qian simply got out of the car.

This is already at the foot of the mountain, and looking up is the high Nianqing Tanggula Mountain. However, because of the close distance here, the tall Nianqing Tanggula Mountain gives people a sense of oppression.

Chu Qian took out her mobile phone and fiddled with it and said to Mo Lan: "Auntie, the altitude here is almost four thousand four, you and your uncle only arrived on the plateau yesterday, is there a high reaction?"

"It's okay, my son has a secret medicine for high reactions, your uncle and I just got off the plane yesterday and felt a little uncomfortable, and after drinking that potion, we were fine immediately. I don't feel bad now. ”

"Brother Liu really has such a magical potion? When we chatted when he bought a car before, he told me that I still don't believe it. ”

"Hehe, girl, you have little contact with my Xiaoang. In the future, you will know that there are many secrets in this bastard boy. ”

One sentence made Chu Qian's face red again.

The two of them were whispering on the other side of the car, and Lao Liu and his father were smoking in a car, so naturally they couldn't hear Mo Lan's words.

"Dad, hurry up and take a couple of bites, let's get ready to climb this mountain." I heard from the Dawa brothers that when they arrived at the Nagenla Pass, they couldn't even smoke if they wanted to, and our ordinary lighters couldn't even turn on the fire, and the oxygen content was too low......

"You can't even get a lighter?"

"Hmm. Lao Liu nodded affirmatively, "Alas, Dad, you see that this car has taken a new road, and it seems that this road can go up." Let's go with this car. ”

The two of them crushed the cigarette butts with their feet, and covered the crushed cigarette butts with some soil, and then beckoned Mo Lan and Chu Qian, who were talking over there, to get into the car and start climbing the mountain directly along the newly built highway......
