Chapter 398 The Great Earthquake That Year
"If I had come here a few years ago, this road would be even harder to walk. After 2017, this road was built, so it is much easier to walk now than before. The roads that passed the Pusla Pass were all washed roads, and some places had a steep slope. If you want to walk this road, you must have a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle." Dazhen, who was sitting in the co-pilot, introduced.
"No, this kind of road is done after repairing?" Chu Qian couldn't believe it.
"There is really nothing to do about this. I heard from my aunt that when she got married here, there were no roads here, only small roads that yaks and people stepped on. It took eight months a year to walk. The Psla Mountain we just climbed was the largest natural barrier."
Liu Mo'ang nodded and said, "Qianqian, this is similar to the Modo we went to before. However, there are at least several other roads to enter Modo, but it seems that this road is only one way here, and you have to go there and go there and go there."
Dazhen: "Ge Ang is right. Although I have never been to Motuo, I know some things there. Motuo is known as a secret realm, but this is a secret realm in the secret realm. Only this road can be entered or exited. Otherwise, our People's Liberation Army would not have entered this place in 1971. This is probably the last place the People's Liberation Army entered in our country. It is really hard to leave here."
Chu Qian stuck out her tongue, and Liu Mo'ang was also a little shocked. The peaceful liberation of the plateau was two years later than the national liberation, but this place was twenty years later than the peaceful liberation of the plateau...
As the car walked down, the vegetation on both sides of the road began to become richer and more colorful.
When I crossed the Pusla Pass before, the whole world seemed to be covered with snow. However, after only a dozen minutes of walking, meadows began to appear on the roadside. After walking for more than ten minutes, bushes began to appear on the roadside. When we walked down, we walked down. With a gurgling river, there were more and more plants on the roadside, and animals that appeared from time to time could be seen on the hillsides on the roadside.
The situation was similar to the scenery I saw on the way to Motuo before.
"Mo Ang, the situation here is really similar to that in Motuo. However, the height gap here seems to be larger, and the slope of this road is steeper."
Liu Mo'ang just nodded and did not respond. He had to concentrate on driving.
It’s not okay to be focused. The road here seems to be more difficult than the Zamo Highway. It does not refer to the road conditions, but the road here is really too dangerous.
If the road conditions were not good when crossing the Psra Pass before, but at least they could walk, they realized that the road they had taken before was definitely smooth! The road down the mountain was really dangerous!
There are tall mountains on both sides of the road, and this road only has one lane width, and there is a river next to it. Although the river is not very watery, it is very deep!
"Brother Ang, you have to be careful when you go down from here. The river below is Ronghequ. When I came here with my parents to visit my aunt, my aunt told me that if I fell into Ronghequ, I would not be able to get up. I would be washed into Nepal by water and finally I would be washed into the Ganges..."
Chu Qian was happy and smiled and said, "Your aunt is scaring you."
Dazhen said seriously: "My aunt didn't scare me. During the earthquake in 2015, my aunt's family escaped from her home to a flat area. Many cattle and sheep jumped into Rongxiaqu because of panic, and they were all rushed outside the border..."
While talking, the car walked to a relatively gentle place. Liu Mo Ansong asked in his heart: "The major earthquake in 2015? Are you talking about the major earthquake in Nepal? Are you talking about the major earthquake in 4.25, right?"
"Well, it was that big earthquake. I was only thirteen years old that year. At that time, there was a strong tremor in our house. I was in the first class in the afternoon, but we all ran out of the earthquake and were frightened." A look of horror appeared on Dazhen's face, as if the memory scared her.
"The 4.25 earthquake?" Chu Qian asked in confusion, "Is it very powerful?"
Liu Mo'ang nodded and said, "It's really amazing. The earthquake occurred on April 25, 2015. The magnitude was 8.1. The epicenter was located in the southern foot of the Himalayas in the eastern part of Pokhara, Nepal's second largest city. It was only a few dozen kilometers away from the border between my country and Nepal. So after the major earthquake, our country was also greatly affected. For example, the road to Zhangmu Port was blocked due to a landslide, and National Highway 318 from Houtung to Nyalam was blocked for a long distance. Not to mention that there are many houses in our territory collapsed and many people died. Oh, by the way, because the earthquake happened to be the window period for climbing Mount Everest, the earthquake also killed nearly forty people!"
"Ah?" Chu Qian couldn't help but tremble, and her little face turned pale, "How did you know?"
"How did I know? When the earthquake occurred, I had just gone to college. How could I not know about such a thing that shocked the whole world?" Liu Mo'ang shrugged and explained.
Chu Qian said "Oh" and sighed: "I was still in high school at that time and didn't have time to pay attention to these things."
As we were talking, several very dilapidated houses appeared on the side of the road. It is estimated that these houses have not lived in for a long time, and many tiles have fallen from many places. However, the huge "dangerous house" written in red paint can still be vaguely seen on the wall.
Dazhen said: "Sister Qianqian, do you see? These houses are the houses that were destroyed in the earthquake. Although these houses did not collapse, they all became dilapidated houses. Not only these houses, almost all the houses in the entire Rongjie Township have become such dilapidated houses. The people here dare not live in them, so such houses were completely abandoned. However, later the state invested money to build new houses here, and the people here lived in safe and sturdy new houses."
Looking at the slightly crooked but firm but not collapsed, Chu Qian sighed slightly and fell into silence.
Seeing this, Dazhen explained: "Sister Qianqian, no one wants this kind of thing to happen, but once it happens, no one can stop it. The power of heaven and earth is not something that human power can resist."
While speaking, another checkpoint appeared in front of him, and everyone had to accept the inspection obediently again.
After passing the checkpoint, Dazhen said: "It's not too far ahead that it's Dacang Village. From there, it's only when we really enter Rongshigou. The road we took before can only be considered the entry stage."
"My God, isn't this place considered a Rongjiegou?" Chu Qian asked in surprise.
"It cannot be said that it doesn't count. The road we took before can be broadly considered Rongzhigou. However, the real core of Rongzhigou starts from Dacang Village, and goes south along Rongzhigou all the way to the boundary marker. The length is about 60 kilometers. However, most tourists will not reach the border line, and it will be the end of the journey to Zuobude Village. Since the highway was repaired, there are tourist routes from Dingri County to Zuobude Village. However, most of the tour groups come in summer, and there are almost no tour groups at this time. Most tourists who come to visit drive themselves like us."
Before Dazhen finished speaking, Chu Qian saw a large area of buildings appearing on a relatively flat and wide slope in front of the right. Needless to say, this is Dacang Village.
This village has dozens of buildings, located in a valley. This valley is very small, with a length and width of more than 300 meters each, but a large part of it is barley fields, and the village only occupies a small part of the northwest corner of the valley.
Three rivers meet in this valley, and in the middle is Rongjiequ, which follows all the way down. There are two rivers that emerge from the deep mountains on both sides of the east and west, gathering here, and eventually turning into Rongjiequ’s river water...
Some yaks are leisurely eating grass on the hillside, while some elderly people are basking in the sun in front of their houses. The weather today is not very good, and the sky is a bit misty. Such weather happens to be used to bask in the sun. Otherwise, the ultraviolet rays are particularly strong in normal times, so there is no way to bask in the sun.
Seven or eight children saw Liu Mo'ang's car, stood on the side of the road and pointed at the car excitedly, not knowing what they were joking about, while a few Tibetan mastiffs lay lazily on the side of the road and let the little guys go and move...
It is filled with a beautiful paradise. If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, it would be hard for the couple to imagine that they could still see such a harmonious and peaceful scene in such a place.
The car stopped by the side of the road, and Wang Erhuran and the other four of them got out of the car. Obviously, they were also shocked by the pastoral beauty here.
Almost all the houses in the village are newly built, which Liu Mo'ang can easily tell. However, near the river beach to the east of the village, you can still see some remaining house foundations. It is estimated that those houses were houses that were shocked into dangerous houses in the earthquake five years ago, but they were later demolished and built new houses in another place.
It seems that we can often see these self-driving tourists coming in from outside. None of the young and old in the village showed any surprises, and they should do what they should do.
But when Chu Qian took the white lion out of the car and "released the wind" for it, almost all the old people stood up, and the Tibetan mastiffs, who were originally lazy, also stood up alertly, and a low snoring sound was heard from their mouths.
However, these mastiffs were immediately scolded by several old men and then fell down honestly.
Obviously, the Tibetans in this village were also very respectful to the sudden appearance of the white lion. They could tell by clinging their hands and keeping their mouths and muttering.
A few little guys, six or seven years old, were surprised when they saw the white lion. They wanted to get in front of them but didn't dare. The white lion's body was two laps larger than an ordinary Tibetan mastiff, and such a mighty mastiff gave people a lot of shock.
Chu Qian hugged Bai Shi's neck and waved to the little guys with a smile. The little guys didn't dare to come forward at first, but under the leadership of one of the little guys who looked like a child's head, she finally came over with her full force.
When Bai Shi obediently pushed the little guys with her big head, the little guys were all happy. Under Dazhen's translation, Chu Qian actually had a very pleasant conversation with the little guys.
