When Old Wanda told what happened fifteen years ago, his expression became more solemn, as if this past was something he never wanted to mention in his mind.
Fifteen years ago, Wanda was only in her early twenties, young and frivolous. At that time, a few young people came from Shenhai City. In those years when self-driving tours were not yet popular in China, there were not many self-driving tour players.
Most of the people on the Qinghai-Tibet Highway are just some trucks. As the highest highway in China, there are no self-driving tourists on the whole road like now, let alone those cyclists who come here to cleanse their souls.
So in those years, three SUVs entered Tibet, which was simply incredible in the eyes of Tibetans.
Of course, those young people from Shenhai City did not return to Shenhai City after leaving Tibet. Instead, they chose to go north and followed the national highway to Xining.
Because one of them was a classmate from Xining in college, it was easy to find a guide. After going back and forth, they wanted to enter the Qilian Mountains, so they easily met Wanda¡¯s second uncle, a local Tibetan who was born and raised in the Qilian Mountains. .
In those days, being able to spend thousands of dollars without blinking an eye on hiring a guide for a week was definitely a big deal for Wanda.
He was a Tibetan native of the Qilian Mountains since he was a child. He followed his second uncle to Xining to sell felt cloth and yak meat. He drove a tractor that emitted black smoke. It was just a coincidence that he got to know those people from the developed cities on the southeast coast. young man.
In Wanda¡¯s words, although those young people have already passed the Qinghai-Tibet Highway and seen the vast plateau scenery with vast skies and wild fields, wind-swept meadows and cattle and sheep, for them, it is difficult for them to truly enter any place on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. High mountains are an experience I have never had before.
Therefore, they seemed particularly excited along the way.
However, the happy journey changed as soon as they entered the Qilian Mountains.
Due to time constraints, these young people chose to enter the Qilian Mountains just in time for winter, with heavy snow closing the mountains. The road conditions on the national highway were very bad. There were about 20 kilometers of smooth roads. When they entered the mountains, Later, we encountered snowy days and icy roads. Even if we drove an expensive SUV costing hundreds of thousands, it was like walking on the edge of a knife.
"To be honest, I was a little surprised by the driving skills of those boys. At that time, they were the same age as me, but they seemed very calm when driving on the icy Qinghai-Tibet Highway."
Wanda took a puff of cigarette, and when she thought about it, she could still remember it vividly.
You know, on those roads on weekdays, most of the time they are driving carriages. Although the wind and snow hit their faces like a knife, it is still more or less safe, because no matter how fast the carriage is, it still maintains a relatively stable speed. At a stable speed, it is not easy to roll over.
In this way, they drove into the depths of the Qilian Mountains and of course crossed Hala Lake. Almost to the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, further north is the Hexi Corridor, the ancient Silk Road.
"Those young people also have money and leisure, and they also like this kind of exciting things. They didn't stop until they reached a mountain that even cars couldn't climb over. However, just when they were about to go back, a snowstorm came. .¡±
Speaking of this matter, Wanda took another puff of cigarette and her expression became more solemn: "That snowstorm lasted for more than ten days. We were exhausted and our supplies were exhausted little by little."
What happened next was described by Wanda in a straightforward manner. It was nothing more than the group of young people who cherished their lives and hoped to leave quickly. Even if it was dangerous, they decided to move forward in the snowstorm.
Although the snowstorm is severe, it is not too dangerous as long as you sit in the car. What's more, in that kind of extreme weather, if you don't start the car, the wind and snow can easily bury the car.
So Wanda¡¯s second uncle decided to take the risk and go back.
It is impossible to go north, because the Qilian Mountains lie in front of them. It is difficult for even an aircraft carrier, let alone an SUV, to drive there. Therefore, they can only go as hard as possible and place all their hopes on the south side of Lake Hala.
Although it also has a plateau climate, the climate is relatively mild because of the dense vegetation. Even if the wind and snow rage in the Qilian Mountains all year round, it rarely affects the south side of Hala Lake.
But contrary to expectations, on the night of the strongest snowstorm, suddenly, everyone¡¯s compass and other directional equipment failed!
Wanda¡¯s second uncle relied on his experience to move forward for about half an hour before giving up and continuing to move forward in this environment with extremely poor visual conditions.
After all, in weather with good visibility, Wanda¡¯s second uncle can judge their general direction and prospect route based on the surrounding mountains and altitude.
But in a snowstorm, once they lose their way and run out of fuel, they will be completely buried in the snowy mountains.
So Wanda¡¯s second uncle made a decisive decision and stopped moving forward. Everyone parked on the side of the ridge behind the seal without turning off the engine, trying to survive this difficult snowstorm.
"We parked the car and decided to stay in the car that night. The wind and snow in the Qilian Mountains are not like what you see in inland cities. They stop overnight. In fact, the mountain roads have snow for a month or two, and It is very common to encounter heavy snow that closes the mountains. However, the most cruel thing is the avalanche. Once you encounter an avalanche, it is really a dead end."
¡°We parked the car in the snowy mountains, the three cars were close together and tied up with rescue ropes. Although it looked very thin, at least we all could have some comfort in our hearts.¡±
"But even so, in just over an hour, thick frost had already solidified in the car. Because the air conditioning equipment could not be used, the entire car was as cold as an ice cellar."
Wanda seemed unwilling to think about it at all. He lowered his head, took two puffs of cigarette silently, and said: "It has been snowing heavily in the mountains for four days. Fortunately, we were well prepared. In the early morning of the fifth day, the wind blew out The snow stopped and our food was almost exhausted. So we got out of the car and started walking south. We could only abandon the car and move forward, but when we walked out for a whole day, we found that we were in a snowstorm. We deviated from the driving route. When the wind and snow stopped, we were already at the eastern foot of Qilian Mountain! And before nightfall, we unknowingly reached one of the mountain passes at the eastern foot of Qilian Mountain, and before our eyes, there appeared A huge cave!"
Wanda took a breath of cold air. In this deep and dark environment, this cold breath made everyone feel like a light was shining on their backs.
"We also entered the cave for a short rest. Since it was getting late, we had to enter the cave for a short rest. What surprised all of us was that there were actually people living in this cave. Traces! In addition to the cooled campfire, there are also yak blood and fur, and the skeleton left after barbecue!"
After speaking, Wanda pointed to the corpse of a foreigner lying on the edge of the beach not far away, and said: "What impressed me all my life is that inside the cave, I also saw a dried corpse. , covered with frost and snow, the corpse showed signs of being black and shriveled, and coincidentally, there were traces of a cut throat that were almost exactly the same as this corpse at the throat of the mummy!"
