Chapter 521 Torrents
The car ran on National Highway 109, and after passing through Dangquka County, it entered the Are Wetland.
Whether it was Liu Mo'ang or Tian Peng, they had been here, but they were all passing by.
But even though I have been here, when I saw this large area of water and grass given by God again, the two of them were still shocked by this beautiful scenery.
Are Wetland is known as the "Lung of Dangquka". This huge area with an altitude of about 4,300 altitude gathers the melting water of the surrounding snow-capped mountains, forming this huge wetland with an area of 200 square kilometers.
Here, rivers are crisscrossing and water and grass are everywhere. There are countless small rivers on the snow-capped mountains on the east and west sides. The clear snow-capped mountains and melt water finally gathers in this huge wetland, creating this wetland with plump water and grass.
At the southwest end of the wetland, all the rivers in the wetland will eventually converge together to form Dangqu, and the name of Dangquka County also comes from this river.
Are Wetland is not only the most abundant area of water and grass in Dangquka County, but also a paradise for wild birds.
Especially July and August of each year are the most beautiful time for Are Wetland, which is also one of the main habitats of black-necked cranes on the plateau. At this time of year, the traces of black-necked cranes can be seen here.
The famous Kangma Temple is located on the edge of the north of Are Wetland, while the equally famous Eight Pagodas in northern Tibet are located in the northeast of Are Wetland.
Liu Mo'ang even thought, it would be great if the second uncle did not choose to take root in Yubacuo but near Are Wetland.
Although Yubacuo is also very good, it is still incomparable to Are Wetland.
Although the altitude is only about 300 meters, the natural environment here is undoubtedly better than that in the Obacuo area.
Although the scenery of Are Wetland is beautiful, you can see herds of cattle and sheep everywhere, but the four of them did not have the intention to appreciate the scenery here, but continued to gallop along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway.
However, the arrival of dumplings and wontons in the sky scared a few black-necked cranes flying in the sky.
The well-deserved air overlord, such as the Golden Eagle, appears here. Not to mention the black-necked crane, even the nearby mountain vultures obediently avoid it. It’s because the dumplings and wontons are too big and they are traveling together. There is no such majesty in the air that birds dare to provoke these two people.
Liu Mo'ang guessed that dumplings and wontons often came here for no reason, otherwise it would be a habit for these birds to avoid them?
The car passed by the two towns of Longren and Wumatang. When he arrived at Nalong Village, which was at an altitude of 4,600, he saw the eight white towers lined up from a distance.
This is the famous Eight Pagodas in northern Tibet, and is one of the most important worship sites on the entire northern Tibet Plateau.
It is said that the eight towers in northern Tibet were built by King Gesar, and were built by the generals who died for the battle here.
Regardless of whether the legend is true or not, these eight white towers standing side by side on the southeast side of National Highway 109 are definitely the most famous cultural attractions in Dangquka County, no doubt about it!
Not far from the Eight Pagodas in northern Tibet, I came to Nianbo Village. There is a road team marked 142 to the north of this village. The county road 104, which is divided from here to Youcha Township.
Looking northwest from here, you can see Sangdan Kangsang Sang Peak more than 20 kilometers away.
This place is a high altitude, which is a small watershed. The south is the Dangqu River basin, and the north is the Sangqu River basin.
The Sangqu River is also one of the western sources of the Lhasa River. County Road 104 is heading east along the Sang District River Valley.
However, compared with the Qinghai-Tibet Highway, the road conditions on County Road 104 are much worse. There are many places where there is not even a oil level, and they are all gravel roads.
Youcha Township is too remote. It penetrates into the mountains of Nianqing Tanggula Mountain. It is more than 30 kilometers away from the straight line of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway!
Here, the speed of the car inevitably dropped.
At this time, Sanje Kampot, who had been calling and waiting for news, also combined the news he received.
"Boss, according to the situation I summarized, four young people did check in to Youcha Township last night. The four young people were two men and two women driving a Prado off-road vehicle. Originally, the four young people planned to check in to Baga Village, but unfortunately there was no hotel in Baga Village, so the four people left Baga Village last evening to go to Youcha Township. Early this morning, the four people drove away from Youcha Township and returned to Rehei Songpu, crossed the Boqu River from the bridge of Rehei Songpu, parked their car by a river east of Rehei Songpu, and then started climbing. Some herders saw them climbing the mountain."
“The message is accurate?”
"Accurate." Sanje Kumbu said with certainty, "Whether in Baga Village or in Youcha Township, many people saw these four young people and the car. And this morning they were also consulting the herders there in Rehei Matsuura to consult the route up the mountain."
"It seems that it's impossible to be wrong. Zhong Zhe and the others are on the mountain on the side of Rehei Matsuura." Liu Mo'ang said as he called out the satellite map from his phone and zoomed in near Rehei Matsuura.
After looking at the map for a while, he asked again: "Sanjie, what's going on with that mudslide?"
"It's not a mudslide, the news about Boss Zhong and the others should be wrong. To be precise, it was because of heavy rainfall that caused mountain torrents during a period of time, and it still couldn't reach the level of mudslide."
After Sanjie Gongbu said this, Liu Mo'ang, who was puzzled when he was looking at the map just now, then he completely figured out what was going on.
Although mountain torrents are very powerful, they are still worse than mudslides.
Rehei Songpu is a small village, which was built on the Boqu River. If mudslides erupt on the mountain, I am afraid that this small village will not be able to be protected. But if a mountain torrent occurs, then according to the terrain of the village and the location of the river that descends from the mountain, the mountain torrent cannot threaten the safety of the village.
This is also why Li Junyi did not say that others encountered mudslides before, but only said that Zhong Zhe and the others were missing, and Zhong Zhe's car was rushed into the Boqu River.
Although he still couldn't figure out the specific situation, combined with the satellite map, Liu Mo'ang had roughly simulated the situation at that time.
It took nearly an hour for the Xiaolong to arrive after a journey of more than 30 kilometers.
At this time, the sky had cleared up. Although there were still some clouds, if you hadn't seen the river channel east of Rehei Songpu with your own eyes, you wouldn't believe that just a few hours ago, the river had flash floods due to heavy rainfall.
This river flowing from south to north is not deep, but is quite wide. It is better to say that it is a flood discharge area than to say that it is a river.
In fact, on the plateau, the closer the river is to the snowy mountains, the more this happens. Especially in summer, the melting water of the snowy mountains and rainfall often causes mountain torrents. A large amount of water rushes down from the mountains, which is not bound by the river. Therefore, when it comes to the estuary area, the width of this river can often reach hundreds of meters wide, but in fact, it is all washed out by mountain torrents.
Rehei Songpu is a small village built on the bank of the Qubo River, with only seven or eight families. But just south of this village is the towering Malang Zhari Peak and the surrounding glaciers.
There are several similar rivers nearby rolling down the mountain from below the glacier and finally rushing into the Boqu River.
At this time, the river east of Rehei Songura Village could no longer be seen. The area hundreds of meters wide was covered with gravel of large and small sizes and countless grass roots and meadows washed down by mountain torrents.
Of course, these are the remains of the remnants washed down by the mountain torrent. Because there is nothing else in the upper reaches of this river except stones and meadows, even if it is washed down, nothing can be washed down.
The mountain torrents here are two completely different scenery, from the mountain torrents in Hengduan Mountains and other mountain areas. Once a mountain torrent occurs in other mountain areas, it is really rolling mud and stones, and dead branches of trees can be seen everywhere. The mountain torrents can rush down everything they encounter.
But there is nothing here, except stones and grass, and even if there is a mountain torrent, it will not be able to recharge much.
At this time, the mountain torrent had ended, but the amount of water in the river was still very large, and a huge roar was heard when it rushed into the Boqu River.
When Liu Mo'ang and his friends arrived at Rehei Songpu, a group of Tibetans and a few yaks were working together to drag the Prado out with a rope.
The white Prado half of the body was completely deflated and looked miserable, as if it was hit by a large truck from the side.
Seeing Liu Mo'ang's Xiaolong coming here, all the Tibetans who were towing the truck stopped, and a cadre-like person came up.
"Are you?" This cadre looked about in his thirties and spoke not very fluent Mandarin.
"Hello, we are from the Blue Sky Rescue Team of Sunshine City. In the morning, we received a mission saying that four people were missing here, and an off-road vehicle was washed into the river by the flood, so the four of us came to rescue." Liu Mo'ang said to the man very politely.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Sanjie Gongbu came over and hugged the man hard. After the two of them communicated in Tibetan, Sanjie Gongbu introduced: "Boss, this is the deputy township chief of Taxi in Youcha Township and my good friend. Taxi, this is my boss. This time I came to save people with our boss."
Liu Mo'ang shook hands with Taxi with a smile, and Tian Peng and Taxi Dawa also came up to greet him for a while. After the greetings, Liu Mo'ang gave Tian Peng a wink. Tian Peng nodded and returned to the car to start the car, and then drove up the mountain along the river that had just erupted from the mountain torrent.
Mantou is still lying in the trunk, so he has to ask this guy to find a place to get off the bus and go up the mountain first, otherwise it would be hard to say if these Tibetans saw it.
