Chapter 155 Encountering an Obstruction of the Sea Passage Ditch
As usual, there are three things to eat, eat and sleep.
Running to Mangkang, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway has already run a little more than halfway.
After driving for three days, it would be nonsense to say that I was not tired.
Driving on the Sichuan-Tibet line and driving on the Qinghai-Tibet line are two completely different experiences. At the beginning, Lao Liu didn't feel so tired when he drove home from the Qinghai-Tibet line by himself, but after running on the Sichuan-Tibet line for three days, he really felt a little tired.
The Qinghai-Tibet Highway is only a little more than 1,100 kilometers, but what about the Sichuan-Tibet Highway? It has been almost 1,200 kilometers long, and it has only run more than half of it.
Although the Qinghai-Tibet Highway is at a higher altitude, it is very flat, and there are few winding mountain roads. But what about the Sichuan-Tibet line? If you don't turn hundreds of times a day on the mountain, then the road is considered smooth. If you catch up with someone with vestibular nerve problems, it is estimated that you will have to vomit in an hour......
There are many winding mountain roads, and the road conditions are far worse than the Qinghai-Tibet line, so it is particularly tiring to run.
Not to mention Lao Liu, who is driving, even Chu Qian, who has been sitting in the car, is a little unbearable.
However, the heartless guy of the white lion is still alive and kicking, and whenever he goes to a place, he always wants to pout his hind legs and draw circles......
After the two of them had dinner and walked around the county for about forty minutes, they returned to the hotel to wash, and then Lao Liu found some information about the trip that was going to leave tomorrow from the Internet as usual, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
Meimei slept for more than ten hours, and then she recovered.
It was also early in the morning after having breakfast, but after leaving the county seat of Mangkang and crossing the 4170-altitude Zonbala Mountain, when I just came to Wudaoban, which was more than 20 kilometers away from the county seat, there was an unusual situation in front.
Dozens of cars were parked on the side of the road, a large group of people did not know what they were talking to, and some armed police fighters were on duty on the side of the road, stopping one car after another.
Lao Liu's Cruiser naturally did not escape the fate of being stopped.
Honestly parked the car on the side of the road, Lao Liu got out of the car to ask about the situation, Chu Qian was eating happily with a bag of snacks in the car, the white lion watched his mother eat with blank eyes, and the horns on the corners of his mouth were about to flow out of the car......
"Hey, buddy, why are you all blocked here?" Lao Liu saw four or five young people of about the same age as himself gathered not far away, so he walked over and asked.
One of the young men turned his head to look at Lao Liu, and then at Lao Liu's car, and then asked, "Are you from Sunshine City?"
"Well, I've been running for three days, and I'm going to run to Yajiang in one go today. ”
The buddy smiled, "Dude, don't talk about running to Yajiang today, I'm afraid you won't even be able to run to Batang." I just heard from others that there is a special landslide in the Haitong ditch in front of me, and the road has been completely destroyed. Isn't this the armed police stopping the car and not letting it pass? ”
Lao Liu's head grew big when he heard it?" Damn, really? It's the middle of October, why is there a landslide here?"
The other guy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows? I've been stuck here for more than half an hour." Looks like we'll have to wait. ”
When I checked the information before going to bed last night, Lao Liu focused on inquiring about the information of Haitonggou.
This section of about 40 kilometers from Zongbala Mountain to Zhubalong Jinsha River Bridge is also a dangerous section of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. After Tongmai Tianhai changed from a moat to a thoroughfare because of the construction of five tunnels and two bridges, Haitonggou quietly took over the status of Tongmai Tianhai and became the most dangerous section of the entire Sichuan-Tibet Highway.
Lao Liu took out a pack of Huazi and divided them one by one? There were two people who didn't smoke, but the other two buddies who were talking just now took the cigarettes, and Lao Liu smoothly joined this small circle.
After chatting about a cigarette, Lao Liu realized that there was a slight earthquake here at about six o'clock in the morning and almost seven o'clock this morning, and the magnitude of the earthquake was estimated to be a little more than two levels, and people couldn't feel it at all.
But people can't feel the earthquake, this mountain can feel it, so several places in Haitonggou at the same time landslides and collapses, and the Sichuan-Tibet Highway that follows the Lingzhi River was smashed in several places.
They said that the armed police soldiers from the Haitong Military Station had already gone in to save people, but it was hard to say when the road would be cleared. We don't know the specifics of it yet, but it's quite serious. The young man who spoke to Lao Liu first gave a more reliable statement.
Chu Qian got out of the car with the white lion and walked over, and several young men were attracted by the majestic white lion?
The current white lion is slightly larger than when I first met Lao Liu before, and the ghost knows how this guy can grow so long.
Originally, the size of the white lion was already very scary, and it has grown up a little more in the past two months? It seems that no one should enter.
"What's going on up ahead?" Chu Qian asked Lao Liu in a low voice.
Lao Liu shook his head and said, "I guess I may not be able to get over today?" There are several landslides in front of me, which seems to be quite serious. ”
"How can there be a landslide here? How can it collapse without heavy rain?"
"They said that there was a slight earthquake here at about 7 o'clock in the morning, which caused some landslides. Daughter-in-law, the 40-kilometer section in front of you is the famous Haitonggou, which is the most famous flying stone area on the entire Sichuan-Tibet Highway, and it is also a landslide-prone area, which is not much worse than the Tongmai natural danger we have walked. When I checked the information before going to bed last night, I also knew that Haitonggou had another name in the mouths of the Sichuan-Tibet automobile soldiers. ”
"What's the nickname?"
"Big landslide!"
Chu Qian shuddered when she didn't come, this nickname is indeed scary enough.
In fact, from the Jinsha River Bridge from Bashu to the plateau, all the way to the previous passing through Ranwu Town, this section of hundreds of kilometers of road is prone to landslides, but Haitonggou is the most powerful, landslides occur more frequently, so this has created the famous name of Haitonggou.
No way, who let this place be in the hinterland of the Hengduan Mountains?
The Hengduan Mountains, formed by the compression of the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate, are itself geologically active areas with frequent earthquakes. Moreover, there is still a lot of rainfall in the Hengduan Mountains in summer, and the vegetation on both sides of the mountains on both sides of some sections is very sparse, so once it rains, the mountains are prone to landslides.
Sometimes the rain is heavy, and the Lingzhi River on the side of the highway will become irritable. The surging water of the river will directly wash away the roadbed, causing the roadbed to collapse.
If you count the earthquake, then this section of the road is even more terrible......
Although it can't be compared with Tongmai Tianxian, Haitonggou is also a section of the road that makes people talk about it.
"Then what should we do?" Chu Qian asked.
Lao Liu shook his head, "Let's take a look first, I don't know what the specific situation is inside, wait a little bit, maybe we can pass." ”
It's just that as soon as he finished saying this, the two saw a Changfeng cheetah with flashing police lights driving out of it, and two people in cycling clothes walked out of the car......
The two of them knew that they were a man and a woman as soon as they looked at their size, and when they got closer, they would find that they were very embarrassed. Not to mention that the cycling clothes on their bodies are stained everywhere, and the faces of the two are as if they are wearing a face mask, which is fancy.
Obviously, these two must have had an unusual experience inside.
The cheetah, which was obviously used by the armed police brothers, turned around again and drove back into Haitonggou after putting down the two of them.
A group of drivers immediately surrounded and asked the man and woman in cycling clothes.
Lao Liu saw that there were too many people around, so he turned around and walked back to his car, took out two bottles of mineral water from the car and walked back.
"Hey, hey, let these two drink some water. Lao Liu shouted loudly, and a group of white lions roared with him.
The dog's angry roar immediately scared away all the people around the two of them, and Lao Liu led the white lion in.
"Drink some water and take it slowly. Lao Liu handed over the two bottles of mineral water, and the eyes of the two people lit up, and then they unscrewed the lid and drank the water in one go.
The white lion honestly squatted beside Lao Liu, but no one dared to approach Lao Liu.
These two people look like they are in their twenties, lean and lean, the woman is not short, and she has a fight with Chu Qian's size.
"What's going on inside?" asked Lao Liu.
The man first thanked him before saying, "Early this morning, my girlfriend and I set off from Mangkang, and after about 15 kilometers of Haitong Military Station, a landslide suddenly occurred. We were both riding when a Lexus had just passed us when a rockfall the size of a basin landed on the front lid of the car. The car was smashed to a stop, and then rockfalls of various sizes fell on the roof of the car.
At that time, we saw that the situation was not right, and we were about to run back, but a lot of stones fell on the way back, and the car could not be ridden, so we threw the car and ran back. Luckily, there weren't many rockfalls behind us, and we were lucky enough to get out and not get smashed, but the Lexus was miserable. Even if the people inside are fine, the car probably won't be able to be wanted. ”
The woman continued with a bitter face: "Xinggang, our car was also smashed......
"Zhe Zhe, it's okay if the person is fine, just buy it when the car is gone......"
"But our luggage ......"
Lao Liu glanced at Chu Qian, and Chu Qian stepped forward to comfort the woman.
Lao Liu asked the young man, "Did you encounter a landslide when you came back?"
"Yes, but it's not big, it's just some rockfalls. As my girlfriend and I were walking back, we met my brother who rescued us, and they sent us back. ”
"Do you smoke?"
The young man nodded, "I usually smoke less, but now I want to smoke one......"
Lao Liu took out a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth and lit it for him. Anyone who encounters such a thing as escaping death needs a cigarette to calm their emotions.
The people around him asked some more questions, but the young man obviously didn't know much about the specifics inside, so everyone dispersed again.
Lao Liu returned to the car, took out two spare down jackets from the car and walked back, one handed to the young man and one to his girlfriend.
"Thank you, big brother and sister-in-law. The two of them thanked each other.
"Where are you two?"
"We are all from Yichang, we are college classmates, and we are all cycling enthusiasts, and this is the fourth time we have been riding in Tibet. Oh yes, my name is Fu Ligang, and my girlfriend Liu Ye. ”
"My name is Liu Moang, and this is my girlfriend Chu Qian. Lao Liu introduced himself, "You two are amazing, this is the fourth time you have entered Tibet to ride?"
Liu Ye nodded and said, "Since 16 years, we were still in college at that time, so we used the summer vacation to start riding into Tibet." The first two times were summer rides, and after graduating the year before last, we rode once in the spring last year, and this time we rode in the autumn and winter, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. ”
Looking at the embarrassed appearance of the two people, Lao Liu was also a little unbearable.
"Do you two want to go to the military station to rest?"
The young couple looked up at the Haitong military station on the north side of the road, and the young man shook his head and said, "Thank you, big brother, we are not injured, so we won't go to the military station to trouble the armed police, they are busy rushing to get through."
On the north side of the highway is the famous Haitong Military Station, which is also the largest military station in Haitonggou and the location of the Wudao Class.
On the plateau, there is a road class every seven or eight kilometers or ten kilometers along National Highway 318. Like the Tongmai Tianhai section that Lao Liu passed through before, it is the road between Class 102 and Class 105.
After crossing the Jinsha River Bridge, you will enter the plateau, and the first class will enter the position of about seven or eight kilometers into Haitonggou, and then from east to west, it will be the second class, the third class, and the five classes until here.
And there are still Taoist classes to the west, and when you get to Tongmai Tianxian, there are 102 classes and 105 classes.
Liu Ye wrapped the down jacket on his body, and said a little depressedly: "It's just that all the luggage in our car is thrown in it, and we don't know how to go back." ”
Lao Liu was also a little silent.
This is a natural disaster, which can also be called a disaster without cause.
I was supposed to ride well, but disaster came from the sky and I was almost stoned to death......
Chu Qian was soft-hearted and couldn't see this, so she pulled Lao Liu, dragged Lao Liu aside, and whispered, "Why don't you take them both away when we leave." In this way, they can also have a companion on the way, and they can also be sent back to Yichang by the way, anyway. ”
Lao Liu shrugged his shoulders, "I don't care, just like it." ”
Chu Qian smiled and nodded.
"You go home and follow our car, our trip ends in Hangzhou, passing through Yichang. And we have empty seats in the car, so you two can sit just right. ”
"Huh, really?" asked the two in unison, in surprise, "thank you so much." ”
Lao Liu waved his hand and was about to be polite, when he saw two cheetahs with flashing police lights driving back from inside.
The two armed police brothers mixed two people with bloody faces from the car, and everyone was shocked.
These two people obviously encountered a landslide or a rockfall inside, otherwise they would not have been smashed so badly. Fu Ligang and his family are undoubtedly much luckier than these two.
As soon as the two wounded got out of the car, they were carried to the military station on stretchers waiting on the side of the road for treatment.
A captain with a three-star hanging bar also got out of the car, and he said loudly: "Drivers, masters, don't wait here today. There were serious landslides in five places, and the roadbed in four sections had been smashed. In addition, there are several places where rockfalls of varying degrees occur. Now we are working hard to rescue the trapped people, and at the same time, we are also trying to grab the passage. However, as far as the current situation of road damage is concerned, I am afraid that the road will not be able to resume traffic today and tomorrow. So, if you're not in a hurry, you'd better go back to Mangkang first. If there is any situation here, we will definitely notify the county as soon as possible. If there are comrades who are in a hurry, then you should take a detour. ”
Captain, this should be the squadron leader or instructor of the Haitong Military Station, and if he says it, it is basically equivalent to an official announcement.
A group of drivers and tourists waiting here got on the bus and turned around.
Wait for a fart, everyone has explained the general situation in front, that is, the word - can't get by.
Waiting here and wanting to eat a fart?
Honestly return to Mangkang, the rest of the rest, the detour of the detour.
It's not something that can be shifted by your will. Unless you fly into the sky and shoulder to shoulder with the sun like Iron Man, or you can be as awesome as Comrade Chuan Jianguo, you can call the space carrier over with a phone call......
Emmm...... That's also trying to eat fart......
Fu Ligang and Liu Ye naturally followed Lao Liu into the car, these two were already pitiful enough, the car was smashed, and the luggage in the car was still in the mountains. If they were to be thrown here again, it would be estimated that these two would be dumbfounded.
Although the military station will definitely arrange a car to send them back to Mangkang, how can they go home? Do they want to go home with food?
However, before getting into the car, Fu Ligang left his contact information with the armed policeman's brother, and their luggage was still in the mountains. If he can find it, he hopes that his brother can mail them back. Of course, whether their luggage can be found is another matter......
"Brother Liu, we will take care of our own food and lodging on the way, you and your sister-in-law don't have to worry about the two of us, how much is the total cost in the end, and I will marry you when we get to Yichang." As soon as he got in the car, Fu Ligang was anxious to explain the cost.
"Let's talk about the cost, that's not in a hurry, what I'm anxious about now is to buy some clothes for the two of you first, we still have more than 2,000 kilometers to go." ”
"Brother Liu, if you go to the county seat in a while, find a bank with an ATM, I will withdraw some money to buy a mobile phone first. Xiao Ye and I have mobile phones on the mobile phone rack in the car, and they are all still there. ”
Liu Ye said with a smile: "Fortunately, our wallets, ID cards, bank cards and everything are carried with us, if we put them in our luggage backpacks, it will be troublesome." ”
That's the case in the plateau, cash, bank cards and everything else are easy to say, but if you don't have an ID card, then you really can't move an inch.
As soon as Lao Liu turned the car around, he saw a Prado parked on the side of the road in front of him, and a person was poking his head out to gesture to Lao Liu.
Lao Liu looked at it, wasn't it the guy who was smoking and talking just now?
Lao Liu parked the car behind Prado's car and got out of the car, and the guy also got out of the car.
"Dude, you must be going to Rongcheng, right?" The two had talked before, although they didn't know each other's names, but they knew each other anyway.
Lao Liu nodded, "I do have to pass by Rongcheng." ”
"Then let's form a convoy to go to the north line? Looking at the situation here, it is estimated that it will not be open in two days, and in these two days, we have already killed in Rongcheng." ”
"Take the northern route?317 National Highway Sichuan-Tibet North Line?"
"Hmm. The guy nodded, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Li Tao, a native of Rongcheng, the one who smoked with you just now in the car is called Wang Yuquan, we are buddies, and there are two of our girlfriends in the car, we all want to rush back to Rongcheng as soon as possible." ”
"Oh, my name is Liu, Mo, and Ang. ”
The buddy was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.
While talking, another young man who was smoking just now also got out of the car, he should be Wang Yuquan, and Fu Ligang also got out of the car here.
Li Tao and Wang Yuquan were stunned when they saw Fu Ligang, and Li Tao asked, "Brother Liu, are you going to take this unlucky buddy away?"
"Well, he is Fu Ligang, Yichang, riding into Tibet, now this kind of thing has happened, I just caught up, I can pull a handful. Anyway, my girlfriend and I happened to be passing through Yichang. ”
After speaking, Lao Liu turned his head and told Fu Ligang the plan proposed by Li Tao just now.
Fu Ligang nodded and said, "Brother Liu, this plan is feasible. The year before last, Xiao Ye and I rode into Tibet for the second time, and we took the northern route. Although the northern route is not as easy to walk as the southern route, it is not much worse. Now the roads on the plateau are all the same, and no one dares to guarantee which section of the road will be completely unblocked. Landslides, landslides, snow closures, and flood-damaged sections of the plateau can threaten the highway at any time. Anyway, according to my experience of riding four times, the roads on the plateau are always overhauled, minor repairs, repaired every day, and repaired at any time, so in the plateau sports car, don't pay attention to whether it is good to run or not, as long as it can run, and even this can only depend on the will of God. ”
Fu Ligang's words were recognized by Li Tao and Wang Yuquan, and Wang Yuquan said: "Brother Liu, in fact, this is the second time we have entered Tibet, and the situation is similar to what Brother Fu said. Isn't Haitonggou a living example now? If we don't make a detour, we won't be able to do it, or we'll have to delay Mangkang for two days. ”
Fu Ligang also said: "According to my experience, there are only two ways to bypass the more than 40 kilometers of Haitonggou road in Mangkang, either along National Highway 214 to the south, cross Meili Snow Mountain, and then cross the Jinsha River at Benzilan in Deqin, and then go north along National Highway 215 to Zhubalong, which was originally to cross the river in front of us, this road needs to detour about 650 kilometers.
As for the second route, it goes north, enters National Highway 317, and then passes through Jiangda, Derge and Baiyu and then goes back again, which is almost more than 600 kilometers around. But no matter which road it is, it's not very easy to run, and the road conditions are quite poor. ”
Li Tao said in surprise: "Brother Fu, are you so familiar with this side?"
"Hehe, I've been riding all four times I've been in Tibet. The Sichuan-Tibet North-South Line and the Yunnan-Tibet Line have been run, so I still know the situation of some roads. ”
Lao Liu asked Fu Ligang: "Then do you think we should take that road?"
"Of course, it's the Sichuan-Tibet Northern Line that this brother said. Anyway, it's all around, so it's better to return to Rongcheng directly from the northern route. If you take the northern route from here, it is about 1,300 kilometers to Rongcheng, which is more than 200 kilometers more than 318. If you take a detour, it will be too bad, and the road condition is not good, it is better to go directly north to Jiangda, and then return along 317. Besides, it seems that if you take the northern route, there will be a high-speed to Malcom, right?"
Wang Yuquan nodded, "That's right, the highway from Rongcheng to Malkang has been opened in May this year." ”
"Okay, then let's go now, take the northern route. Lao Liu immediately agreed to this plan.
After getting into the car and telling Chu Qian and Liu Ye about the situation, the two cars went back along 318.
After walking for more than ten minutes, I saw three SUVs waving on the side of the road, and it was obvious that these three cars were probably in a hurry to return to Rongcheng and then want to find a car that could walk together.
Forming a team is undoubtedly the safest way to drive on the plateau, and in any way the team is much stronger than a bicycle.
There are many self-driving tourists who will even wait on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, Yunnan-Tibet Highway or Qinghai-Tibet Highway, and then find like-minded partners, and then form a convoy to travel together, which will greatly increase safety.
Sure enough, when I got out of the car and asked, the people in the three cars also planned to take a detour back to Rongcheng, and they also wanted to take the northern route.
It hit it off, but there was still a slight disagreement.
The location of the five cars is now in the vicinity of Liudaoban, which is near the top of the Gasus. From here, there is a provincial highway 501 that leads directly to Gongjue in the north, but the road condition is said to be bad.
"I asked the road guards of the road class just now, and they said that there are a lot of gravel roads on this road, and the road conditions are far less than the national highway. However, it is now October, and the road conditions are much stronger than the rainy season, so it depends on our own choice whether to go or not. ”
Lao Liu looked at their car, in addition to the Prado driven by Li Tao, there was also a Prado, a Mitsubishi and a Cruiser, but it was a V6, not the V8 driven by Lao Liu.
"Are your tires okay?" asked Lao Liu.
"They were all replaced before the 318, and even the spare tires are new. The answer given by several people was almost the same.
"Isn't that enough! Even if the Tongmai natural insurance is not repaired, our car will run fine, right?"
Several people understood when they heard it. Their cars are all off-road vehicles with strong traffic capacity, even if it is the previous Tongmai day insurance, there is no problem, not to mention the 501 provincial road?
No matter how bad the road conditions in 501 Province are, can it be compared to Tongmai Tianxian?
Besides, five cars form a convoy, and they are not afraid of any danger.
Since it is decided, there is nothing to hesitate, Lao Liu's car is the first, and the Mitsubishi Pajero Palace, the five cars left National Highway 318, crossed the Peacock River from the bridge and drove north along Provincial Highway 501.
The road conditions are not as bad as imagined, the bumps are certain, not all asphalt is also certain, but overall the road conditions are still acceptable.
The five cars are all off-road vehicles with relatively high chassis, and the power is sufficient, even if the whole journey is on gravel roads.
It's just that you need to be careful when passing by some places with big rocks, just don't break the tires.
From Gassoding to Gongjue, the whole journey was about 180 kilometers, and it took five cars more than four hours to arrive. It was almost one o'clock when I arrived in Gongjue.
Lunch was naturally eaten in Gongjue, and Fu Ligang and Liu Ye took the time to go to the Agricultural Bank of the county and withdrew some cash with their bank cards.
Originally, the two of them wanted to buy a mobile phone, but Lao Liu said that it was not necessary. It's not that there is no mobile phone in the car, so you can use it directly to call home or something. Why buy a mobile phone here? It's just three or four days, and it's good to buy a favorite mobile phone when you get home.
Fu Ligang and his family listened to Lao Liu's words, just took out some cash, then bought some clothes in the store, and continued to get in the car.
After leaving Gongjue, I ran along this road for an hour and a half, and came to the 317 National Highway, which is commonly known as the Sichuan-Tibet North Line.
During the meal, they discussed with each other, preparing to be greedy for late today, and strive to go to Ganzi to stay.
The reason for the decision was that some people in the team had run the northern route several times and knew that the road conditions of the more than 300-kilometer journey from Jiangjiang to Ganzi were relatively good and they could start running. As long as there is no traffic jam on the road, you can reach Ganzi in six hours.
And when the car started, the road conditions were really good, and almost the whole time was asphalt.
It may be that the bad luck was lost in the Haitonggou in the morning, and there was no traffic jam or anything along the way, and it was very smooth to kill Ganzi at ten o'clock in the evening.
Fu Ligang's driving skills are also good, so that Lao Liu and he can drive in reverse, even if it is Liu Ye's driving skills, they are far stronger than Chu Qian, which makes Chu Qian keep muttering that he must practice his driving skills well after returning home.
She has Ben but rarely drives. It is very scary to have an inexperienced female driver on the road, so this way the old Liu Ning would rather suffer himself than let Chu Qian touch the steering wheel. 、
This is not only responsible for the safety of others, but also responsible for your own safety......
It's easy to say when you get to Ganzi, it's still 650 kilometers away from Rongcheng, and even if you don't rush tomorrow, it will take more than ten hours to arrive!
PS: Bow and thank "Little Brother Jia Invincible" for the tip!
