Chapter 56: Dolma's Invitation
When staying in Garmu last night, Lao Liu gave the three of them a magical spring water with "added ingredients", and he was afraid that the three of them would go out of the plateau as soon as they entered the plateau.
The reason given by Lao Liu is also very simple, this is a recipe that the second master learned from a mysterious Tibetan doctor a long time ago, specializing in resisting high anti-high.
The three of them did not suspect him, and drank the water and went to sleep.
As a result, when the next day crossed Wudaoliang, none of the three people had altitude sickness. This surprised the trio.
Although they have never been to the plateau, they know the famous altitude sickness very well. Especially before he came, he had made up a lot of knowledge related to the plateau, and he naturally knew the power of the five beams known as the "Ghost Gate Pass".
After passing the five beams with ease, the rest of the journey is not difficult.
Because the four of them opened it in turn, the four of them unanimously decided to go all the way to the hotel and not stay in the middle.
As a result, people are not as good as heaven, and when passing by Tanggula Pass, they encountered a big traffic jam.
Without him, the climate of Tanggula Pass, which is more than 5,200 meters above sea level, is changeable, and when Lao Liu stayed in Garmu the night before, it was a sleet here, and it was not small.
As a result, the road surface was covered with a layer of dark ice overnight.
A 17-meter flat-head trailer with a license plate in Jincheng, the capital of Xilong Province, overturned when avoiding a private car, the front of the car plunged to the side of the road, and the huge trailer lay directly on the road, blocking the entire 109 line tightly.
Although the driver has nothing to do, such a large trailer and goods are on the road, and the terrain here is relatively special, so it is impossible to bypass on both sides, so even if the dark ice melts quickly after the sun rises, the road is still blocked.
Everyone knows that the Qinghai-Tibet Highway connects tourists from the south to the north, undertakes the important transportation of materials into Tibet, and is the most important passage into Tibet. However, the Qinghai-Tibet Highway only has two lanes in both directions, and the large traffic flow is easy to cause traffic jams.
The traffic flow on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is actually very large, and a slight traffic jam can block a long list of traffic in a short time.
Especially in Tanggula Pass, traffic jams are common because of the climate, and it is strange not to be congested.
Especially once the traffic jam is over, there are some low-quality drivers who add traffic jams casually, which makes the traffic jam even more serious.
Anyway, after Lao Liu and the others were stuck here, they got out of the car and looked, but they couldn't see the end of the convoy in front of them, and they couldn't see the tail of the convoy in the back. The blocked vehicles must be more than ten kilometers before and after!
In fact, the scene of the car accident is nothing, the main thing is that once more and more cars on the road are blocked, it is really not easy to completely dredge it.
Especially those large trucks that burn diesel, once they are stuck in such alpine areas, the cars are prone to problems.
Lao Liu saw with his own eyes that when there were many large trucks in traffic jams, the drivers took down the quilt in the cab and wrapped it on the fuel tank.
It is now summer, and the diesel fuel number added by the driver of the big car is not high, once the traffic jam in this alpine area, for a long time, the diesel in the fuel tank will become viscous or even unusable because of the low temperature......
But fortunately, there is a Tanggula military station here, and there are also highway workers, with the joint efforts of everyone, it took more than six hours to dredge.
It's already very fast, and it's not uncommon for those big car drivers to be stuck here for three days or two days in the winter.
But even so, after a delay of more than six hours, the original plan to rush back to the hotel tonight was completely frustrated.
When I arrived at Pana, it was already past twelve o'clock in the night. In fact, if you don't delay for more than six hours, this point will have already arrived at the hotel.
When we arrived at Pana, it began to rain lightly. The temperature on the plateau is low at night, and once it rains lightly, the road becomes unsafe, and it is even more unsafe to drive at night, so the four of them simply stayed in Pana.
The conditions in Pana are much better than in small towns such as Yanshiping, at least the hotels here have standard rooms with separate toilets.
However, hotel accommodation in Pana is not cheap, any standard room with a separate toilet and self-service oxygen supply equipment, a night is more than 300 starts, a little better is more than 400.
At this price, you can live in a standard room in a four-star hotel in Dongshan.
Fortunately, the three of them drank spring water when they were in Garmu, and there was no high reaction along the way. So even if they stayed in Pana, which was 4,008 meters above sea level, the three of them were not unwell.
On the contrary, because it was the first time to stay in the plateau, even the eldest uncle was a little excited and couldn't sleep.
"Xiao Ang, how far is it to your hotel?" The uncle who was lying on the bed couldn't fall asleep, so he chatted with his nephew who was swiping his mobile phone.
"There are still more than 350 kilometers, and if it goes well tomorrow, I will leave at 6 o'clock in the morning and arrive home at 12 o'clock at noon. Well, if I hadn't missed those six hours this afternoon, we would have arrived home by now. ”
"How's the cleaning up at the hotel?" Mo Long has nothing to say now.
"I guess it's almost done, maybe the bungalow in the back yard hasn't been cleaned yet, but the store building in front should be done. Uncle, don't worry about going to a place where you don't live, before we left, Brother Jeb had already informed me that a few rooms had been picked up on the second floor, and there was a place to stay. However, the heating is not yet installed, and it will be colder to sleep at night. ”
As soon as he heard this, Mo Long was happy, "Hehe, I'm afraid of heat, it's okay to be cold, just don't be hot." ”
Lao Liu was happy, "Uncle, at this point, we have to turn on the air conditioner when we sleep at night, but here, look at you, you are still covered with a quilt." ”
Mo Long was stunned, "yes, this is indeed quite magical......"
"Dididi......" Lao Liu's mobile phone rang, and the sound was the familiar reminder sound of WeChat messages.
I picked up my phone and looked at it, and found that it was a message from a guy from the "Holy Lake Gesang Flower".
As soon as I saw this name, Lao Liu knew who it was, because there was a note at the back - the wrong Dolma girl by the lake.
"Seeing the circle of friends you just updated, I know that you haven't slept yet. When are you coming up?"
Lao Liu thought of the beautiful and hearty young lady, the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and his hands crackled on the mobile phone screen, "I'm in Pana now." I set off from home two days ago, and I was going to rush to my hotel tonight, but I encountered a big traffic jam at Tanggula Pass, so I had to stay in Pana. ”
"Really?" Dolma's reply was very fast, even through the mobile phone screen, Lao Liu could even feel the surprise of Dolma's sister.
"Is this still fake?" added a few smiley faces.
"That's great! Brother Liu, you can come to my house tomorrow as a guest, my family's Solang and Norbu also miss your white lion. ”
Lao Liu was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this time the invitation of Zhuoma's sister could not be pushed anymore. Last time, I was in a hurry to travel, so it's not good to use this reason again this time.
After thinking about it, it's not a big deal to rush back tomorrow anyway, besides, the last time I broke up with Dolma's sister, I promised to go to other people's houses when I returned, and in order to go to Dolma's house as a guest, I even prepared some Tianqu souvenirs.
Thinking of this, Lao Liu knocked down a few words: "Okay! I will arrive at you on time at ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"
PS: Bow and thank the big guy "mimi4153" for the tip!
