Chapter 131: Wolf Howl
"This painting is beautiful! It's so beautiful!" Lao Liu praised sincerely, and everyone else nodded.
Chu Qian also drew a lot of sketches on the way to the lake before, including for Tashi Dawa's grandmother.
However, most of the sketches drawn by Chu Qian before were drawn with white sketch paper and black pencil, so those sketches were no different from the sketches that Lao Liu usually saw, they were all white with a white base and black outline.
And the sketch in front of her, the paper and pen she used are obviously different.
The background color is a brilliant blue color, similar to the color of the sky outside at this time, and the brush seems to be using a white pencil.
As a result, the sky is blue, the snow-capped mountains in the distance are white, Namtso is blue, and the surrounding ground is also white.
"Sister Qian, how did you draw this kind of painting? It's not the same as the sketches I've seen before. Fang Zhenzhen asked the question in everyone's hearts.
"This painting is really different from the previous sketches, I painted it in blue pastel paper, white and gray colored pencils. These things were bought from McMedee when I went to the capital during the summer vacation. ”
None of them knew what McMedy was, but that didn't stop them from admiring the painting.
I guess none of them thought that a black and white sketch could be painted in color......
"Help me, my leg is numb......" Chu Qian said to Lao Liu.
With Lao Liu's support, Chu Qian stood up, and Lao Liu said distressedly: "Don't be so stupid in the future." On such a cold day, you can still draw for nearly an hour, desperately not like this. ”
Feeling her boyfriend's strong care, Chu Qianyan smiled, "Can't I listen to you in the future?"
Fang Zhenzhen, Hao Lei and Teng Zhixin all howled miserably: "You two inhuman guys, don't sprinkle dog food in public, okay......"
Lao Liu stretched out his hand to hold Chu Qian's slender waist, and Zhang Xinggang also grabbed his wife Wang Yan's waist.
The three single dogs howled again: "The single dog is so pitiful......"
......
Just in front of the gate of the Namco Scenic Area, that is, where Molong and Tian Peng were blocked before, the parking lot in front of the ticket office and the wide road were already full of all kinds of vehicles.
The most conspicuous of them are the six huge loaders, which are commonly known as forklifts, as well as four excavators and some other construction vehicles.
These construction vehicles are printed with conspicuous words - China Railway 11th Bureau No. 1 Company
Everyone at the scene knew that the 11th Bureau and the 1st Company were the builders of the new road that Lao Liu and the others took when they crossed the Nianqing Tanggula Mountain.
Moreover, the first company is also preparing to build a project of the Namco Ring Road.
That is to say, China Railway 11th Bureau No. 1 Company is responsible for the road construction unit from Dangquka County to Namco.
During the 10.8 snow disaster last year, a company also dispatched a large number of engineering vehicles and personnel to rescue more than 200 trapped tourists from the Namco Scenic Area.
Almost at the same time and place this year, a snowfall that was heavier than last year's snow disaster appeared, and the cadres and employees of China Railway 11th Bureau No. 1 Company once again met with the county's rescuers, ready to rescue the trapped tourists again.
There were five or six hundred people ready to participate in the rescue at the scene, and a leader of Dangquka County was making a mobilization speech.
In one corner of the scene, a team of about 30 people dressed in sky blue uniform clothes were waiting quietly, not far from them, all kinds of off-road vehicles were parked, among which there was a Thunder Dragon off-road vehicle with a red snow shovel that was particularly eye-catching.
This team is ready to participate in the rescue is the personnel of the Sunshine City Blue Sky Rescue Team.
On the other side, there stood two rows of soldiers as straight as javelins. For this rescue, the garrison in the county sent a company of soldiers, two Dongfeng warriors and two military vehicles.
The people's soldiers are like this, where there is difficulty and where assistance is needed, their figure will appear there without hesitation!
The leader's mobilization speech ended quickly, and the four forklifts at the beginning lined up in two rows and drove into the gate of the scenic spot in turn.
The first two forklifts with welded snow ploughs dropped their huge buckets, and the snow on the road was quickly pushed aside by the sideways snow plough shovels.
However, after all, the snow removal shovel of the loader cannot completely remove the snow on the road surface, and the snow removal shovel must leave enough obstacle avoidance height, which is usually about 20 centimeters.
So the forklift truck behind dropped the bucket to a height almost close to the ground, and once again shoveled the remaining snow to a little thickness.
The two forklifts were followed by two sweepers, and the rotating sweeping disc swept all the remaining snow to the side of the road, while also spraying snow remover......
Snow disasters often occur in northern Tibet, so the rescue teams here have enough experience.
Just like last year's 10.8 snow disaster, a full half meter of snow, rescuers began to dredge the road from the gate of Namco Scenic Area, until the Namco Township is a full 26 kilometers away, of which there are 20 kilometers of mountain roads over Nianqing Tanggula Mountain, but it only took six hours to dredge this road!
It is precisely because of the experience of last year's snow disaster that when the rescue is carried out again this year, it is even more familiar.
In fact, rescue and evacuation are carried out together, and the two are complementary work.
In the event of a snow disaster, the first priority is to clear the road. Once the main road is cleared, the next rescue work will be much easier.
Tian Peng drove the Thunder Dragon, Li Junyi sat in the co-pilot, and Mo Long sat in the back seat.
Because he participated in this rescue in the name of the Blue Sky Rescue Team, Xiaolong could directly follow the snow removal vehicle in front of him to enter the disaster area.
"How about it, there's nothing wrong with this snow shovel installed on your car, right?" asked Tian Peng.
"I don't know what's going on. This shovel is a good thing, and I didn't expect the snow shovel to weigh less than 300 kilograms. That's not much weight for this Thunder. ”
"Hehe, this snow shovel is a lightweight snow shovel developed by Bosch specifically for pickup trucks. However, although it is said to be lightweight, the snow removal effect is very good, no worse than those large special snow plows. ”
After spending the night at the Tianlu Inn, the next day Lao Cai's snow removal shovel was pulled over by the Ford Raptor of the rock. Tian Peng took a while to put the snow shovel in front of Xiaolong's car, and then drove out to try to clear the snow on the grassland in the north, and the effect was very good.
Mo Long in the back seat smiled: "Lao Li, with this thing, maybe we will be able to arrive at the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate tomorrow." ”
......
"Liu Moang, where have they been to your brother-in-law?why haven't they arrived here yet?" Chu Qian began to coquettish with Lao Liu.
The others didn't speak, but their ears were pricked up.
"I guess we should have arrived at Dongga Village by now, right? There are still more than 50 kilometers from there to us, but it is all dirt roads, and it will take at least two days to get here. ”
When everyone heard this, they all let out a wail.
The route of the rescue is a little different from the route that Lao Liu and his people took to the lake on foot.
The route of the rescue coincides with the route of self-driving from Namco Township to Shengxiang Tianmen, which means that you must run north from Namco to the Namco North Shore Scenic Area Service Center near Dongga Village, and then turn back to the south to reach Gangxiong Village, and then arrive at Shengxiang Tianmen.
Lao Liu: The route of the route to the lake on foot is different, they have been walking along the shore of the lake, and they don't even need to arrive at Gangxiong Village, from the dirt road in the south of Gangxiong Village to the east along the lake shore, they can directly reach County Road 105.
The total distance to the lake is about 300 kilometers on foot, and about 400 kilometers if you drive to the lake!
The reason why Molong and they have to go far away is very simple, that is, the GPS of the dirt road by the lake cannot be accurately navigated.
In this situation, where there is snow up to 60 or 70 centimeters deep, it looks the same everywhere at a glance, and it is all white snow. If there is no accurate navigation, the car may have driven into the pit.
Therefore, they must take a route that can be accurately navigated so that the car does not drive off the road......
But in this way, the time for Mo Long and them to arrive at the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate was extended to three to four days.
On asphalt roads, they can clear 50 kilometers of roads in a day, but on dirt roads that can only rely on precise navigation, they can dredge 20 kilometers a day.
Therefore, the more than 60-kilometer dirt road from Dongga Village to the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate, Molong and his family had to walk for at least two and a half to three days.
The snow stopped, the sky cleared, and the rescue outside began. This was confirmed yesterday on my mobile phone.
As soon as the sky cleared, this communication was restored. Lao Liu: They are lucky, such a big snow did not cut off the circuit that supplies power to the communication base station. Then, mobile phones that were unable to communicate due to signal interference caused by heavy snow can now be used.
It's just that Lao Liu and they are also a little unlucky, the sky is clear, and the communication is restored, but their mobile phone is out of battery again.
Each of them brought two large-capacity power banks, but they couldn't stand the power supply for the past few days, so the mobile phone was finally completely out of power after the communication was restored.
Lao Liu's mobile phone lasted until the last one ran out of battery.
However, before the power ran out, he still contacted his brother-in-law and them. At about nine o'clock the morning before yesterday, they had just followed the rescue team to clear the road. It is estimated that if it goes well, the road will be cleared to Namco Township at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
And Mo Long also said that because of the snow disaster last year, the locals have become vigilant. Most of the tourists started to evacuate on the day of the heavy snowfall, but even so, there are now more than 100 tourists stranded in the scenic area of Namtso Township and Tashi Peninsula.
These people are the first to be rescued by the rescue team.
After all, there are not only tourists in these two places, but also local Tibetan compatriots and businessmen who open hotels and hotels in the scenic spots.
The sudden heavy snowfall cut off their supplies, and with so many tourists concentrated in these two places, they were the first to be rescued.
As for Lao Liu and the seven of them, although the rescue command knew that there were seven people trapped in the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate, they could not spare manpower to rescue them for the time being.
If it weren't for a car from the Blue Sky Rescue Team of Sunshine City and the Thunder Dragon from the inn who took the initiative to dredge the road to the Holy Elephant Heavenly Gate, Lao Liu and the others would not have known how many days they would have to be trapped here.
Before the call was made, Lao Liu's mobile phone was completely out of battery.
Although Chu Qian has a satellite phone, that thing is nearly two yuan a minute when the owner is called in China, although Lao Liu is not bad for this money, the key is that this satellite phone also needs to be charged.
Chu Qian's satellite phone has two charging methods: hand-cranked and solar, but these two charging methods are only emergency charging. So if it's not necessary, try not to turn it on.
In fact, although Lao Liu and the seven of them are trapped here, they are safe for the time being.
Although the food is not very sufficient, a little saving is enough for them to eat for seven weeks. As for the fuel, it is still relatively sufficient.
If there's anything bad about it, it's that it's boring.
After the weather clears, the scenery of Namtso is extremely beautiful, but no matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will see it every day, and you will also have times when you are tired of watching.
Even if you are put in the Heavenly Palace, you won't be able to stand it for a long time.
Otherwise, why did the seven fairies descend to earth?
Everyone saw that at least tomorrow the rescuers would not be able to arrive here, so one by one they began to be stunned again, playing cards, what should they do.
This heavy snowfall has also cooled down the temperature. Although the temperature rises quickly during the day due to the high sun, at night, the temperature immediately drops to several degrees below zero. In particular, the continuous strong wind blew even more uncomfortably.
In the evening, Lao Liu slaughtered the live goat.
It will take three days at most for them to get here, and if it's fast, maybe they'll be here in two days.
If that's the case, there is no need for some things to continue to exist.
Especially after the heavy snowfall, there was no grass to be found, and the poor goat bleated with hunger for the past two days, and even if it had not been slaughtered, it would have suffered to live......
In the evening, the seven people made a hearty mutton and vegetable soup, which was five or six catties of mutton boiled in the pot for nearly an hour, and then sprinkled in the dehydrated vegetables, took out the packets of those instant noodles and put them in the pot, and the patchwork mutton soup turned out to be extraordinarily delicious.
Lao Liu also opened the remaining bottle of Tianyoude 53 degrees of Tiande Tianxia barley wine, plus those loose wines, everyone was slightly drunk.
At night, everyone fell asleep soundly in the sound of the whining wind.
However, in the middle of the night, Lao Liu was awakened by the snoring of the white lion.
This purring sound is not the white lion's snoring while sleeping, but its warning sound.
After getting dressed and getting out of the tent and turning on the headlamp, Lao Liu saw the white lion nervously arching his body and making a low snoring sound in a certain direction outside the cave, and the white hair on his body exploded, looking extremely nervous.
There were a few miserable wolf howls in the distance, which made the hairs on Lao Liu's body stand up.
", could it be that a wolf has appeared, otherwise why is the white lion so nervous?"
Thinking of this, Lao Liu hurriedly whispered to all the people one by one, and then began to prepare to make a fire!
It is said that wolves are afraid of fire......
