My travels can open treasure chests

Chapter 31
We arrived at Zhuka before nightfall.

Zhuka Town is also called Rumei Town. The scenery is as beautiful as his name. Unlike the snow-capped mountains and desert scenery seen a few days ago, the scenery here is more like a salt well on the border of Tibet. This may be related to The altitude of this area is very low, only 2200 meters.

After seeing off the female rider, Han Qi found a hotel nearby.

This hotel is a two-story building, and it only costs 20 a night to live on the first floor, and there is no TV.The room on the second floor is slightly larger and has a TV. The price is ten yuan more than that on the first floor.

Han Qi doesn't watch TV, but wants to use the desk in the room on the second floor, so he lives upstairs.

The boss is very enthusiastic. He is from Tianfu Zizhong. He is a fellow of Han Qi. His home is very close to Zizhong.

Zhang Shuhao lives on the first floor.

He is really poor now. Originally, he came out this time without telling the truth from his family. It was similar to when Han Qi came out. Han Qi brought 3000 yuan, and he brought 3000 yuan.But as soon as I arrived in Lijiang, I was cheated out of [-] yuan, and now I only have [-] yuan left after using the remaining [-] yuan.

And he has a very stubborn temper, if he can give it himself, he won't let Han Qi pay for him.

After dinner, Han Qi came out and stood outside the hotel looking at the Canglan River. The wind in the river was relatively strong, and soon Han Qi's hair was blown like straw.After ten days, the original little fresh meat has now turned into a dark-skinned man.

Han Qi is quite happy to see this kind of change. Although his hair and face are often dirty along the way, if he has a chance to take a bath and look in the mirror, he will find that he is several times more handsome than before.

If there is another cigarette in his mouth at this time, he will look like a handsome guy with a story about the vicissitudes of life.

The phone rang.

"Han Qi? Where are you?"

This familiar Wanwan accent is not Zhang Shuhao, who else can it be.

"I'm right under the hotel, by the river."

After traveling to so many cities in Tibet, although I haven’t been to a big city yet, the villages and towns I pass by all have one thing in common, that is, they are all built on the banks of rivers or rivers, no matter how bad they are, they are still small streams, which is just right. The old adage of living by water.

Han Qi himself likes streams very much, and sometimes it takes an hour or two to see them.

Not long after, Zhang Shuhao came over.

He also just took a shower, but the wound on his face was very conspicuous, it was dropped on the ground a few days ago.

"It's so late that you didn't sleep in the hotel, why did you come outside." He came over and asked.

"Can't sleep." Han Qi leaned on the guardrail with both hands, "Why don't we rest here for a day tomorrow, the scenery here is not bad, I want to take a few more photos."

Zhang Shuhao just wanted to agree.

Of course he wants to rest, the journey is too tiring, he has never been so tired in his life.But at the moment of exporting, he thought of his funds, which were not much in the first place. If he wasted another day or two, how would he go to Lhasa?

The key is.

Are you not going back?
The air ticket back to Taipei costs 2000 yuan, but now my whole body does not exceed [-] yuan.

So with a troubled expression on his face, he said in a very conflicted manner, "We need to get to Lhasa early..."

Of course, Han Qi didn't know that Zhang Shuhao had thought so much at this moment, but his thoughts were not something ordinary people could change.It's fine to be with Li Xiaochuan, after all, I want to follow Brother Chuan, and Han Qi is very convinced that Brother Chuan is the captain, so forget about Zhang Shuhao.

Han Qi's father is a very stubborn person, and so is Han Qi.

"When you arrive in Lhasa, you will arrive in Lhasa. It will not affect our rest, and it is not that we will not leave."

So it was decided, Han Qi didn't get up when he woke up for the first time the next day, and continued to sleep in the cage, and found a restaurant on the street with Zhang Shuhao for lunch at noon.There are many Sichuan restaurants, and the chefs cook authentic dishes.

No matter what you do, you need to combine work and rest. After a day of rest, the speed of riding feels a lot faster.

three days later.

The two were climbing Yela Mountain, another high mountain with an altitude of 4640 meters, surrounded by unmelted snow.

Bangda Yela Mountain Pass is an asphalt road with good road conditions. You can see the snow-capped mountains from a distance, and the Nujiang Mountains behind it. Due to animal husbandry, the vegetation has been destroyed a lot, but now it has been surrounded by barbed wire to fix the soil and prevent sand. .

After rounding a corner, Han Qi saw the famous 72nd turn of Nujiang Mountain on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, and subconsciously pressed the brake.

The car is parked on the side of the road.

Spectacular, hopeless.

After crossing so many places today, Han Qi, who was exhausted into a husky, kept appearing these two words back and forth in his mind. Spectacular refers to the 72 turns of the Nujiang Mountain, and of course despair also.

It was a spiraling, s-shaped downward slope that clings to the mountain. The 42-kilometer journey was all in this area, and the altitude dropped 2000 meters. One can imagine how steep this road is.

Although the road conditions are good, such a long-distance downhill is a very severe test for the rider's skills and the brakes of the bicycle.

There is no way, we must go.

"Check the brakes." Han Qi said to Zhang Shuhao.

The downhill is about to start, and it would be a tragedy if the brakes break down halfway. If you use your feet to brake for tens of kilometers downhill, the soles of your shoes will wear out.

The way to check the brakes is to get out of the car, push the car forward and press the brakes.

The brakes on both sides were pressed down, and the car was firmly locked in place.

can go.

With a nervous mood, the two rode up the famous downhill road.

Along the way, I only feel the gust of wind passing through my ears. I don’t need to pedal at all. The kinetic energy brought by the downhill can make your car go very fast. You have to lightly press the brake from time to time to control your speed, and you can’t let go of your feet. On the pedals, the foot brakes must be put down at all times.

In case of brake failure, you must stop the car with your foot.

Otherwise, when the speed increases, the foot brake alone will not be able to stop, and then the car will have to wait for the car to overturn.

On this road, Han Qi's top speed reached [-] mph. This is the first time Han Qi has reached such a speed after entering Tibet. You must know that this is a bicycle, not a vehicle that burns oil.

The name here is called 72 Guai. As the name suggests, there are a lot of curves, and they are all 180-degree bends. The dust on the corners is very thick, and there are hidden stones inside. Han Qi's car knocked, and then felt that the brakes were not working So I pulled over and checked the brakes.

There are a lot of bicycle accessories in the luggage, and they will not be repaired, but if there is a problem, they will be replaced directly.At this time, I can see the river below. This river should be the Nujiang River. It is very turbid, very similar to the Yellow River, and the flow speed is also very similar to the Yellow River.

Zhang Shuhao even fell when braking here.

However, he had fallen too many times, so he got up like a normal person and came over to ask Han Qi if he could do anything for him.

"I'll change it right away."

Han Qi said something, and then felt something falling from the top of his head. Before Han Qi could look up, a small stone hit Han Qi's riding helmet.

"Fuck, rocks will fall from the mountain."

He quickly moved the car to the side near the river and looked up at the mountain... When the wind blew, sand and small stones fell onto the road visible to the naked eye.No wonder there is so much dust at the corner, it turned out that it all fell from the mountain.
