2003.10.5 Daocheng - Litang - Kangding cloudy - snow
Return journey, and Inagi proceed through Litang, Kangding places at night. The thought that mood will gradually calm down, the tidy up in preparation for the end of the trip. Did not expect is that I have had a life-long memorable experience.
15:00 more time, the mountain began to snow. At first was just a little bit of small snowflake fluttering not touch the ground had already melted; turn into a goose feather snow, mountain back soon build up, from the black and white soon turned into a vast expanse of whiteness in the car of us excited. Drove to an open office, Gu master us down the car. Hill had been all white, which lasted for one, are broad and endless. Many people have snowball fights. I and A Summer at Grandpa was also quick to cover their JANSEN himself, and jumped out of cars, a handful of both hands, forced pinch is a snowball, we face the people can throw any case, not an understanding of the person hit will not sullen, laughing and joking manner turned back, very interesting. The snow on the ground of about 3,4 cm thick, the snow still there were numerous, dense underground.
Play a moment, afraid snowbound mountainous trip delay, or obediently got on. Under the snow the more the greater has been such as cotton-like, and previously only read them to describe, but also wonder are unanimous, can be really met, they can only puts it.
When the sun descended, but we failed to even peak, that is half of the mountain have climbed them all. The more open the slower car, on the one hand is the accumulation of snow on the road, afraid of slipping; also the one hand, vehicles are increasingly blocked. Finally close to the Peak, a long list of traffic are parked can not move. More and more snow, night more and more black people more and more cold. Gu master still whistling. Our Mitsubishi four-wheel drive, as long as the road is not closed, over snow-capped mountains is not a problem. Just can not be air conditioning, fear of the oil is not enough. We've been waiting a long time, or barely budged. Gu received master's consent, we will get off the naughty.
Pinch snowball this time more convenient to hand a copy, that is, a big ball. We are the way forward, facing the vehicle with snow greeting, after the land, the window will have "links" is heard, most of the cars may be no response. Throw the first 12 cars, finally someone open the window called "small landing", and oh, that was my sun shoes ford cars, their own people. Laoke a few words, yet to see the traffic in front of the head, decided to enter up, cold can not stand, shoes are also slipping, along somewhat under pants wet.
Got on it to find food, okay, food was prepared filling. Meisha is found to be anything better to do, and for fuel-efficient, most lights are interest rates, and even more dark and the one. Would like to squint to sleep a while, can be very cold, insomnia, and in the car and no one to speak, are thinking about their own thoughts, even more deserted.
After a half an hour, vehicle movement, and we hastened to arouse the spirit, along with a little forward and do not matter sorted out too tightly in order to prevent skidding in front of the car, next to the cliff, probably a slip of the Shiguwucun. Master Gu has blown the whistle, and off, I did not hear what tune to understand children.
Ahead for a while, but found that our ford sidelined stopped. The original, Ford is two-wheel drive, skid, no way going forward, ford car, and both are old, young, women, see them all in the cart, and I quickly get off Hasty, helping to push along. Car rear energetically swept the snow and ice, snow Feishe front of our legs, the legs flew wet. Due to wear running shoes, in the ice and snow so that does not contribute to micro-force will have a throwing himself on the ground Kepo front teeth danger. While thinking, while still pushed hard, the only way to promote the car, we have the accommodation to a warm hotel possible.
But the fact tells us that we do is futile, a motionless car, car butt or even to the cliff at the risk of skew in the past. I watched the red and swollen fingers frozen, my mind was blank.
Side of the parked truck stuck his head and is ready to spend the night in the mountains drivers. He said that this car can not be pushed, you call a car towing it away. Our cars do not have a rope, the driver put his rope to us.
We went to ford Mitsubishi carefully in front of a good bolt rope, then stepped on the accelerator. The foot to stand on our side suffered a scare - Mitsubishi car butt back to the cliff at once! We loudly exclaimed, one side of the master Mangba a big rock stuffed under the Mitsubishi right rear wheels. ford car too heavy, but also the direction of Mitsubishi and ford is not a straight line, which leads to this. So Mitsubishi reorientation and watched it in the snow forward, backward, left side a little, turn right and look, I were to rely on Wood cliff stood to the hearts jumped to their throats. Car care on a master, although also considered a Lao Jianghu can, after all, only 30 years old, how can I have experienced that? Do not know whether it is now still humming a minor?
Fortunately, the car finally safe Daohao. Continue to widen ford, or not moving. Tonton and I have to go back helped ford carts, cars are not advanced, retreated, scared that we quickly drive a flash. To a lot of time, still there is no way. Have to give up. Ford left the driver and his wife spend the night, put the car were scattered into our Mitsubishi and another one behind the Buick, we will be heading down the mountain Kangding.
While the snow and ice covered ground, but also a lane to follow the car in front of passing, the snow on the two black imprinting is pretty clear, though slipping, if opened too slowly, in the ice before the problem will not be great. If you go in front of cars, it is the best. It so happened that our car way up the past, is always in front of a darkened, our Mitsubishi car has become clear the way to 15-20km / h speed slowly forward.
When arrived in Kangding, is the small hours. Cold and hungry. In addition to Ford, Mitsubishi was the last to reach the car, the rest have been washing water bath, eating dinner. I eat a bowl of warm noodles, go back again washed a hot bath, can lay down on the bed, the people still like the ice cold like a popsicle.
Then think about is scared of. In the mountains, the casually out of a small mistake can set you would kill them. Many trucks are parked in the mountains, and so willing to dawn of the walk, drivers know the risks. At that time I never thought of death, or other, and my heart very quiet, as if merely one episode, no matter how kind, we will safely down the mountain, the worst in the mountains overnight. Only when Mitsubishi pulled ford had a panic, only to see a number of world states may find that the Yan Liang.
Thinking, we fell asleep. Passed, but remember. Buddha will bless us. I secretly Cheleyixia right hand yellow rope.
