"Actually, there are many passes on this mountain that people can walk, but you don't know. Tashi Dawa explained to Lao Liu while drinking.

Now that he has walked to Tashi Dawa's grandmother's house, there is naturally no need to pitch a tent outside.

If they do, they're really offended.

Why do you look down on me?

Not only did Tashi Dawa invite, but Lao Liu, who was well aware of some customs and habits of Tibetan compatriots, also decided to stay at Tashi Dawa's grandmother's house today.

In the evening, a hearty collector's meal is indispensable.

Butter tea, tsamba, milk tea, barley wine, Tibetan noodles, stewed meat...... A large table full of people.

Tashi Dawa's two uncles personally accompanied him, even though they couldn't speak Mandarin, but with Tashi Dawa there, the atmosphere at the wine table was still very good.

"Brother Liu, from south to north the mountain passes I know, there are Zagala, Langbala, Sebra, Xuegula, Lengqingla, Chemaqianla, Weixinla, Gongla, Xialongla, Guojinla, Sarongla, well, and the Genla you walked before. These are the most famous passes on Nianqing Tanggula Mountain. Although most of these passes are not connected to the highway and there is no way to walk by car, these passes can walk people and yaks. ”

This old Liu understands.

Although Dangquka is under the jurisdiction of Sunlight City, it actually belongs to the Kham region in the traditional sense, while Sunlight City is the Weizang region. Although Dangquka County is located in the westernmost part of the Kham region, many of the names are in the style of the Kham region.

For example, for the river, the Kham area is called "Qu", and the Wei-Tibet area is called "Zangbo".

However, the names of mountain passes and lakes are similar in the Weizang and Kham regions, with lakes called "wrong" or "cuo", and mountain passes called "pull".

Tashi Dawa chewed on a piece of mutton and said, "There are still places that are not mountain passes, but they can also walk people and herds of cattle and sheep. Just like what I just said, the most upstream is Bilang Co., which is also the highest place in this valley, with an altitude of about 5,008 or so. There are several families in Obacuo who also have summer pastures in Shanbei, and they take this road to change fields every year. ”

Tashi Dawa explained this, and Lao Liu completely understood.

For the vast majority of Han people, the altitude of 5,008 is really a daunting height, don't look at this height is only 600 meters higher than the Nagenla Pass, but if it is not a professionally trained person who wants to move at this altitude, it is purely an act of seeking death.

However, for the native Tibetans, this height is at most a little difficult for them to move.

This is just like the tourists below who go to the plateau for the first time will basically go to the plateau because of the lack of oxygen, and if the Tibetan compatriots on the plateau go down to the plains, they will also have symptoms of low original reaction due to too much oxygen.

It is rumored that there was once a Tibetan woman who worked on the plateau all the year round, and took a plane home during the Chinese New Year, but as a result, she had a serious drunken oxygen illness as soon as she got off the plane.

But the symptoms of drunk oxygen are very similar to the symptoms of high reaction, this lady was pulled by ambulance and sent to the hospital, on the way because the doctor did not understand the difference between drunk oxygen and high reaction, and because this lady came from the plateau, the doctor thought that she was hypoxic, and directly put on an oxygen mask to administer oxygen.

Eventually, the woman died from this wrong treatment. The cause of death was simple - oxygen poisoning......

Therefore, whether it is a lack of oxygen on the plateau or a drunken oxygen on the plain, it can kill people if it is not done well.

Five thousand meters above sea level is already called the "forbidden area of life", five thousand eight, one can really kill people if you don't get it right.

Of course, through the communication with Tashi Dawa, the gang also figured out that there was not only one road leading to Namtso to cross the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, but also that there were many mountain passes that could be passed through in this big mountain.

What is long insight?

That's the long insight!

In the middle of the meal, Tashi Dawa's grandmother came over and talked to Lao Liu and the others.

The old lady is sixty-six years old, she looks quite rich, and she looks very happy in the traditional dress of Tibetan women.

For Tibetan compatriots in remote areas, it is definitely a face-saving thing for outsiders to come to celebrate her birthday. So don't look at the old lady who can't speak Mandarin, and even the Mandarin can not be understood very much, but the old lady is really happy.

In fact, in the past, Tibetan compatriots did not have a birthday. Nowadays, there are also some places where Tibetans do not celebrate their birthdays, because there is no such tradition.

However, with the continuous integration of ethnic cultures, many Tibetans have also begun to celebrate their birthdays.

Especially for the elderly, many Tibetan compatriots are now paying more and more attention to it.

In any case, it is a very beautiful thing to celebrate the birthday of the elderly. The people who come to celebrate their birthday send the most sincere and best wishes to the elderly, wishing the old people a longer life than Nanshan, and wishing the old people a long life and no disease, which is a good virtue in itself.

Sixty-six years old, if this was before, it would definitely belong to the longevity of Tibetan compatriots.

However, in recent years, the average life expectancy of Tibetan compatriots has been greatly increased because of the state's strong support for the plateau and the Tibetan compatriots, and with the continuous improvement of living standards and medical conditions.

If you don't tell you, it's hard to imagine that before the 60s of the last century, the average life expectancy of Tibetan compatriots on the plateau was only 35.5 years!

And now, after 60 years, the average life expectancy of Tibetan compatriots has risen to 67 years!

That's actually a pretty big number.

It is undoubtedly a very remarkable thing that the average life expectancy of a nation has been nearly doubled in more than half a century.

This was achieved precisely with the support of the Motherland.

The next day, the old man's birthday was still very lively.

Almost all the people in the small village of Binna came to pay their respects to the oldest person in the village, and the family of the old man also prepared a birthday banquet for the guests.

Because they didn't have any preparations, Lao Liu and the others didn't have any birthday gifts to give, but Chu Qian still drew a sketch for the old man, and gave this painting to the old man as a common gift for the seven people.

In the painting, the old man leans on a kneeling yak with a kind smile, looking at the vast smoke of Namco in the distance, and behind her is the majestic Nianqing Tanggula Peak.

This painting was completed by Chu Qian by combining some of the paintings she had painted on the road these days. Of course, it was impossible for the old man to give Chu Qian that much time to paint, so Chu Qian could only use this method to achieve the content of the painting.

Of course, this sketch of yaks, Namco and Nianqing Tanggula Peak has been unanimously praised by everyone.

For these devout Tibetans, the yak, the goddess Namtso and the goddess Nenchen Tanggula are undoubtedly the best blessings and blessings.

For the old man, she liked this painting very, very much.

Seeing the old man's happy smile, Chu Qian was really satisfied......

......

On the old man's birthday, Lao Liu and the seven of them stayed here for another night.

They want to leave but can't, and the hospitality of the simple Tibetan compatriots makes you not have the slightest idea of refusal.

Early in the morning of the second day of the old man's birthday, the seven people who had packed up Lisuo were ready to continue the unfinished road. Tashi Dawa also packed up his rope and prepared to climb over the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain and return to the inn today.

Bidding farewell to the reluctant old man, the eight people walked out of this small Tibetan village.

"Brother Liu, it seems that you have to work harder, if you go on like this, when you go back, I think your wish to return to the beauty may not be realized. Well, in our tradition, since you like your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law seems to be interested in you, then just cook cooked rice with raw rice!" Before parting, Tashi Dawa looked at Chu Qian, who was talking happily with the other two ladies in the distance, and began to give advice to Lao Liu.

"Pull it down, you little fart who hasn't grown all the hair, you know a fart, and you still have raw rice to cook ripe rice, do you know what this sentence means?" Lao Liu was angry and wanted to punch this guy twice.

Hao Lei on the side smiled and whispered: "Brother Liu, why do I think what Brother Dawa said is very right? In the past two days, we can understand your thoughts, I don't believe that Sister Qian can't understand it." Besides, we are not blind, let alone stupid, and we can all see that Sister Qian also has thoughts about you, so since this is the case, why don't you just pierce this layer of window paper?

The youngest Teng Zhixin directly instigated Lao Liu: "Brother Liu, don't think about anything, just scold you! If you don't scold you, how do you know whether Sister Qian likes you or not?"

"I'll scare you with a chrysanthemum all over the ground! Little boy go, you know a spoon!" Lao Liu's face was a little unbearable.

Zhang Xinggang patted Lao Liu's shoulder and didn't speak, but he kept smiling weirdly at Lao Liu.

"Damn, Brother Gang, let's not bring such a scary one, okay? Your smile reminds me of Sadako. ”

Zhang Xinggang angrily slapped Lao Liu lightly, "You stupid boy, even the three little brothers can see the matter between you and Chu Qian, as a man, how can you not have the courage to do this kind of thing? If you don't even dare to take the initiative in this kind of thing, what do you let Chu Qian think of you?"

Tashi Dawa coaxed on the side: "Yes, Brother Gang is right, you can't lick the dog like this." Countless examples of dog-licking predecessors prove that licking dogs licking dogs, licking dogs, licking to the end is absolutely nothing!"

These words were extremely imposing, but in the end, Tashi Dawa turned his head to look at the white lion as if he remembered something sad, and muttered in a low voice, "Hmm...... Just like I licked the white lion before......"

The white lion's ears were spiritual, and when he heard Tashi Dawa call his name, he ran over and rubbed Tashi Dawa with his big head, which instantly surprised Tashi Dawa again.

Lao Liu sighed and shook his head and said, "Okay, okay, brothers and brothers, I know what you mean, and I want to too." But I don't think it's a chance yet, and if it doesn't go well, we'll be blind on this outdoor hike. Let's wait for the opportunity. ”

Zhang Xinggang patted Lao Liu's shoulder again and didn't squeak anymore, Hao Lei and Teng Zhixin shook their heads speechlessly, hiding aside and smoking.

As for Tashi Dawa, he stared at the white lion, "Brother Liu, can I bring the white lion back?"

Obviously, this guy's whole mind is on the white lion.

The white lion snored and left Tashi Dawa without stopping, and Tashi Dawa said with a hateful expression: "I'm leaving! I'm going over the mountains and the sea, and through the crowds......

This guy was also simply, just left, humming "Ordinary Road" in his mouth, and walked towards the mountain in front of him without looking back.

But after walking a few steps, he turned back to Lao Liu and said loudly: "Brother Liu, you have to pay attention in the past two days. The weather has been a little wrong these days, it's been hot for several days, and it's still going to be like this at this time, which is very wrong, and I guess it may change...... If you're gone, you don't have to send me ......."

Seeing Tashi Dawa's figure walking away, Lao Liu shook his head with a wry smile speechlessly, "Let's go, let's stop poking here, and continue to hurry while the weather is good." ”

The seven of them embarked on a journey around the lake again.

Binna Village is located in the southwest corner of Namtso, and from here, it enters the western shore of Namtso Lake.

If you go north along the shore of the lake, the straight-line distance is only more than 40 kilometers when you reach the northwest corner of Namtso, but because there are many rivers on the west bank of the lake that flow into Namtso, especially in the southwest corner of the lake, several rivers such as Angqu, Shiqu, Kaqiuqu, and Guqu are injected into Namco in this area, so the shore of this lake is impossible to leave.

Even though it's now October, the rough river is starting to calm down and the flow of water has decreased a lot, but it's still not suitable for hiking.

As a last resort, everyone had to continue west for nearly 20 kilometers along the road around the lake, then turn north, pass Deqing Town, and then turn east to approach the lakeshore.

After walking down in such a big circle, I have to walk more than 40 kilometers and a whole day!

Two days later, the group of seven finally arrived at the northwest corner of Namtso.

At this time, the weather became more and more muggy.

"Brother Gang, the weather forecast indicates that there will be precipitation in this area of Namco tomorrow, and there is a high probability of heavy snowfall. What should we do? Should we find a place to take refuge?" When he was camping that night, Lao Liu found Zhang Xinggang with his mobile phone.

"Snow?" Zhang Xinggang's brows frowned, of course the outdoor hiking don't like precipitation and snowfall. However, such a long-distance outdoor hike is impossible if it does not encounter precipitation or something for more than ten days.

"It's impossible to say yet, but the altitude is too high on Namtso's side, and no one knows what will happen. It could be rain, it could be snow, it could even be a hailstorm. ”

"Swallow, come here. Zhang Xinggang called his daughter-in-law over, "Brother Liu said that there may be precipitation tomorrow, and the weather here is also fickle, no one dares to guarantee what day tomorrow will be." ”

Wang Yan looked up at the sun in the west, and also frowned and said: "Xinggang, the weather in the past two days is indeed a little wrong, especially today, in such a high-altitude area, you can feel the stuffiness, this is obviously very wrong." ”

Seeing the three of them discussing here, Chu Qian and the four of them also came over.

Lao Liu explained the general situation, and Zhang Xinggang added: "The Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate is still about thirty kilometers away from the place where we camped today, and when I checked the Zhuan Lake strategy, I knew that there were tents for tourists to live near the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate. In other words, if we walk faster tomorrow, it is estimated that we will be able to reach the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate tomorrow afternoon. Of course, if we want to take shelter from the wind and snow, we can find a village in the surrounding area today or simply go to Baoji Township, which is 10 kilometers away. Now that's the case, let's discuss it and see what to do!"
