It really started to rain at night. Although it was not heavy, it was sparsely in the middle of the night.

This was what Chu Qian told Lao Liu early the next morning.

Lao Liu drove a car for one day yesterday. Even though he was full of energy, he couldn't resist the energy consumption. So after dinner, he returned to the room and changed into the pillow he brought, lay down and slept until dawn.

As for Chu Qian in another room, she didn't sleep well.

Some people are like this. They can’t sleep when they change the bed and pillows. This is commonly known as bed recognition. Chu Qian is obviously this type of person.

Chu Qian was naturally not in good spirits and looked a little depressed.

"You can sleep in the car after you get on the road." Old Liu had no choice but to say this when it comes to Chu Qian's habit of recognizing beds.

In fact, Lao Liu is also a person who recognizes beds. To be precise, he recognizes pillows, and he can't sleep when he changes the pillows. But he was prepared and set off with his own exclusive pillow, so he is fine.

After the two of them finished washing and had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, they returned to feed the white lion with the meat they brought back from the restaurant.

The half-cooked beef and noodle porridge was specially prepared by Lao Liu last night.

As a result, when they were feeding white lions by Zhatang Lucuo Lake, they saw the spectacular Rizhao Jinshan.

Because it rained in the middle of the night last night, the sky cleared in the early morning, and the round-headed and round-headed Gala Bailei Peak showed its true appearance. When the sun rose from the east, the sun shone on the snow-capped mountains, and the white glaciers on the snow-capped mountains will scatter, turning the originally white snow-capped mountains into golden colors.

As long as the weather is sunny and sunset, you can basically see the sunshine of Jinshan.

In the inn, Lao Liu often sees the sunshine of Jinshan in the early morning or at dusk.

"If you can see the Nan Peak here, the scenery will definitely be even more spectacular." Chu Qian said with regret. Due to the obstruction of other mountains, you cannot see the Nine Peaks of Nangabava, but you can see the Gala Bailei Peak.

"Then why don't we go back to Sejila Pass to see the South Peak now?"

"Forget it, even if we go back now, the sun rises and the Sunshine Kingsoft will be gone. We have seen the full picture of Nanfeng yesterday, and there is no regret."

The couple took the white lion who had eaten and drunk enough to walk around the lake for a long time, and looked at the Lulang forest in the early morning. They felt very good.

This is not the best place to see Linhai, but if you want to go to Linhai, you have to pay 17 per person. The tickets and the electric car fare for take-out cars will also take time, so the two of them did not plan to go to Linhai.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t go to see it? As the saying goes, the scenery is on the road? The scenery they have seen along the way is not necessarily much worse than the forest here.

After dealing with the white lion's dog hygiene in a corner, the two returned to the hotel and checked in? Then they drove onto the road.

National Highway 318 will go north along the Lulang River on the roadside? Finally, this small river flows into Layuequ, and the Sichuan-Tibet Highway will continue to follow Layuequ and continue to walk like the northeast.

There are many vehicles along the way? You can also see devout worshipers who are kowtowing and waiting for their long heads to make pilgrimage.

After walking for about an hour, after passing Sejila National Forest Park, Lao Liu pointed to the road ahead and said, "Qianqian? From here, we entered the legendary Tongmai natural danger!"

"Tongmai Natural Protection?" Chu Qian was a little surprised. "It doesn't look like Tongmai Natural Protection here. How easy is this road to run? How could it be Tongmai Natural Protection?"

Old Liu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know very well, either? But I heard Brother Yi talk about what's going on here."

Chu Qian certainly knew Li Junyi, "What did he say?"

"When he was having supper in Rikkan that day, he talked about some of his experiences on the Sichuan-Tibet Line, and the focus was on the Tongmai natural danger. If the map is correct, our location is now 105th class. From here, we will all go to 102th class east of Tongmai Town, a 24-kilometer journey? It is the Tongmai natural danger, which was said to be the first automobile cemetery in China."

"Can we speak well? Why did I get goosebumps all over my body?" Chu Qian gently punched Lao Liu.

"What I'm talking about is the fact. Before Tongmai natural security was repaired? This section of the road was a perfect car cemetery. It is said that from the completion of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway to the repair of the five tunnels and two bridges a few years ago, thousands of cars were buried on this section of the road. Brother Yi said that when he came from Rongcheng, he encountered a large traffic jam on the 102 team in front. The one blocked him for four days and four nights."

"So cruel?"

"Brother Yi said it was still light. If you catch a real big traffic jam, it would be no rare for a week to block one. Not only the 102nd team? The tiger mouth in front of us and the Tongmai Bridge in front of us? It was even more dangerous back then!"

While talking, the car turned a corner, and some hotels and shops appeared on both sides of the road. Not far away, a dark tunnel appeared in front of the two of them.

Lao Liu slowed down his car and a clear blue street sign was erected on the side of the road in front of the right, with the words "Palon Tunnel No. 2, length 2087m".

"This is the Pallong Tunnel No. 2 Tunnel. There were no tunnels here before. The road was walking along Layuequ from the right. Not only was the road narrow, but it also collapsed from time to time. Brother Yi said that before the Pallong Tunnel No. 2 Tunnel was repaired, here, together with the Malonggou behind the exit of the tunnel, was the famous Pailong Tiger's mouth natural danger."

Before the car entered the tunnel, Chu Qian turned her head and looked to the right, and could still see the abandoned old National Highway 318.

When the car entered the tunnel, Lao Liu controlled the speed limit of the vehicle to be 40 kilometers. After drilling out of the tunnel, he immediately stepped onto the Balonggou Super Bridge.

The bridge is more than 700 meters long. When driving on the bridge, there is the Malonggou, also known as the Pailong River, and on the east side is the roaring Palon Zangbo River.

Seeing that the car was about to drive across the bridge, Chu Qian suddenly said, "Can you stop by the side of the road? I want to get off the car and take a look."

It is said that parking is not possible here, but Lao Liu glanced at the rearview mirror and found that there was no car behind him, so he turned on and flashed. After the car drove out of the bridge, he stopped on the side of the road.

"We can't stay here for too long." Old Liu grabbed the camera and did not take the white lion down, so he got out of the car with Chu Qian.

This illegal parking behavior was quite exciting. The couple laughed and took several photos with the bridge as the background.

The two ran to the opposite side of the road again, and Lao Liu pointed to the lower part and said, "Wife, have you seen the old bridge below? That is the original Malonggou Bridge on National Highway 318. When you see this old bridge, you will know why this place is called Pailong Natural Hazard, right?"

Chu Qian leaned her head and looked at the narrow old iron bridge below, which could only pass by one car, and a look of unbearableness appeared on her face.

"Before the bridge is repaired, vehicles driving on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway have to walk on this small bridge, right? It's so pitiful..."

Compared to the bridge standing at the feet of the two, the old bridge below is really small and pitiful, just like a bungalow next to a multi-story commercial building. If it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, no one would have believed that the driving conditions on the Sichuan-Tibet Highway back then would have been so poor.

But the facts are right in front of you.

Although this old bridge full of historical sense is no longer open to traffic, it still stands tenaciously on the Malonggou, silently telling its glory to passing vehicles...

This old bridge also reminded Lao Liu of what MacArthur said - the veteran will never die, but will just wither!

...

After passing the Brailonggou Super Bridge, the 1,390-meter-long Pallong-1 Tunnel is immediately followed.

It is precisely because of the Palong Tunnel 12 and the Braungou Super Bridge that the Pailong Tiger's mouth natural danger that changed the color of all the drivers who passed by turned into a smooth road.

In fact, the Malonggou Super Bridge is very similar to what Taizuye said in "Water Melody Song Tou. Swimming", "A bridge flies north and south, and the natural barrier becomes a thoroughfare."

The Balonggou Bridge also runs north and south, just like the Yangtze River Bridge written in Taizu's poem.

It’s just that the Yangtze River Bridge crosses the Yangtze River and connects the north and south of the Yangtze River.

The Dazhi of the Mailonggou crosses Pailong River, turning the tiger's mouth into a smooth road.

After passing the Palong Tunnel No. 1, the 443-meter Xiaohuzu Tunnel and the 531-meter Feishiya Tunnel.

"Did you see these tunnels we passed? It is precisely because of these four tunnels and the Malonggou Super Bridge that we just walked through that this 14-kilometer-long natural danger has become a smooth road now. Brother Yi said that before the four tunnels and the Malonggou Bridge were repaired, the fourteen-kilometer journey would have to run at least one hour even if there was no traffic jam. Usually, it would take about two hours for the vehicle to run the fourteen-kilometer journey! Now? It can be completed in more than ten minutes." Old Liu said to Chu Qian while driving.

"Yes, this is the power of technology." Chu Qian also sighed quite emotionally, "When the Sichuan-Tibet Line was built, there was no such technology, so the road could only follow the mountains. The biggest task was to build bridges and build tunnels. It was difficult to do in that era. But now, no matter how uneasy you are, just just build a tunnel. This is the power of technology."

While the two were talking, the car drilled out of the Feishi Cliff Tunnel, and the front suddenly became clear. Two big rivers converged not far ahead, and a bridge spanned one of the big rivers.

"That should be the Tongmai Bridge?" Chu Qian said, pointing to the bridge.

"That's right, it should be the newly built Tongmai Bridge there. Let's go there and take a closer look."

There is a fork on this side of the bridge about one hundred meters away from the bridge. There is an open space next to it. Two cars parked there, and some tourists were taking photos. Lao Liu also parked his car there.

After getting out of the car with the white lion, the guy began to pee around excitedly.

Lao Liu pointed to the old road and said, "This should be the Sichuan-Tibet Highway before the Tongmai Bridge was repaired. After the Tongmai Bridge was repaired, the road was abandoned."

Chu Qian nodded.

Two young men and women who were taking pictures next to him also came up. One of them, who looked about the same age as Old Liu, asked, "Brother, are you just getting off from above?"

Old Liu nodded with a smile, "I set off from Sunshine City yesterday morning, and the destination is Hangzhou. Are you going to go up or down?"

"Hangcheng? Oh my god, you've been going long enough. We are preparing to go up. We have been walking from Rongcheng for five days. If we don't get here, my wife insists on taking photos here, saying that she wants to remember the disappearing Tongmai natural disaster, so the four of us got off the car and took photos."

A girl next to the young man nodded at Lao Liu and Chu Qian with a smile, while another young man asked, "Brother, is this your dog? Isn't this a snow mastiff?"

"Well, its name is Bai Lion, it is a real snow mastiff from the grasslands of northern Tibet. I don't have a dog leash, so you'd better not get too close to it. This guy can bite a wolf's neck in one bite."

As soon as these words were said, four men and women were amazed, and one of the girls took out their mobile phone to record a video for Bai Shi.

The first young man who talked to him took out a pack of Huazi from his pocket, pulled out three, handed one to his companion, and handed the other to Lao Liu.

Lao Liu glanced at the Toyota Prado with a mountain city license plate and knew that the car had indeed been on a long journey, so he took the cigarette and lit it with a smile.

The three young men gathered together to suck the clouds and blew the mist. Chu Qian called the white lion over and started chatting with the other two girls.

"All of you are from Shancheng?" Old Liu asked.

"Well, all three of us are from Shancheng. My wife's hometown is from Bayi. My father-in-law was a soldier in Bayi. After the officer transferred to the industry, he stayed in the local area. My wife was born and raised in Bayi. However, when she was in Shancheng, she was in Shancheng, and we were classmates."

"get married?"

"Not yet, but I'm already engaged and plan to get married around May Day next year. Brother, why do you have to drive so far? How good is it to take a plane to get off? The car is checked back directly, and it's estimated that 8,000 yuan is enough."

Many tourists who have good economic conditions will choose to take a plane and check their car back after driving the scenic spots they want to go to.

"Haha, we didn't drive up. My wife has never walked through the Sichuan-Tibet Line, nor has I walked through it. Anyway, there is nothing wrong, so I just went to the Sichuan-Tibet Line."

"Oh..." the two young men nodded.

"Your wife is quite familiar with this place? I just heard you say your wife wants to remember this place."

"Isn't that true? My wife walked the Sichuan-Tibet Highway several times before going to college. At that time, Tongmai natural security had not been repaired yet, so she was worried as soon as she got here. This time we didn't have this matter. It's smoother here than anywhere else."

Lao Liu had a happy chat with two young people here, and the three girls over there were also very enthusiastic.

"Sister Qing, do you say you were trapped here when you were a child?" Chu Qian asked the taller girl curiously. The girl was named Zhao Qing, the fiancée of the young man who had just talked to Lao Liu. Chu Qian had just discussed with her that Zhao Qing is one year older than Chu Qian, but both of her and her partner are one year younger than Lao Liu.

"Yes, I remember that year I was eighteen years old and just got admitted to Shancheng University. Because my grandfather's house is from Ya'an, my father and mother took me to drive along the Sichuan-Tibet Highway, first stayed at my grandfather's place for a while, and then signed up for school in Shancheng. Well, that year was 2013.

I remember clearly that we set off on August 2nd. Because my father had a comrade in Lulang, we lived in Lulang that night. The next day, we set off just at dawn. But after we arrived here, we found that the bridge in front was broken."

"The bridge is broken? How could the bridge be broken?" Chu Qian was puzzled.

"Here, do you see there are three bridges there?"

Chu Qian nodded, and there were three bridges across the Yigong Zangbu River, one larger than the other.

"The largest bridge is the Tongmai Bridge, which was built and opened to traffic by the end of 2015. The bridge in the middle is a temporary car-keeping bridge built in two thousand years. The smallest bridge is a sling bridge built to transport supplies for the construction of the car-keeping bridge in two thousand years. The bridge that broke on August 3, 2013 is the car-keeping bridge in the middle."
