Chapter 19: The Black Storm
After listening to Uncle Li's words, everyone quickly retreated to the main hall of the temple, after all, there was only one corpse here, and there were countless corpses in the water cellar......
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but even when I came to the main hall, I could still hear many voices whispering in my ears, but I couldn't hear anything clearly. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It's really weird here, and if I were so close to the corpses in normal times, I would definitely be able to feel the memories of them before they died.
But here, there seems to be a mysterious power that makes my abilities very weak, and sometimes even disappears completely......
The bride in red in the temple hall was still sitting motionless, and since listening to the middle-aged man's words, everyone had carefully walked away from her. But I had a strong interest in this corpse, because as soon as I approached her, I could not suppress the sadness in my heart......
The group left the temple, and the sun outside was still strong. Because we had very little water and food left, we couldn't be so exposed to the sun. So everyone went back to the house where they had spent the night the night, after all, it was the closest to the city gate, and if there was anything to do, it would be convenient for everyone to get out of the city quickly.
The middle-aged man came out of the temple with us, and although I had always been wary of him, I couldn't leave him there alone. Ding Yi stared at him even better, for fear that there would be some variables in this person.
After returning to the residence, Ye Zhiqiu distributed some naan and water to everyone, because there was a serious shortage of food and water, so now everyone can only supply a limited amount. I looked at the piece of naan in my hand, which was less than the size of a palm, and my intestines were blue with regret, thinking that if I died here like this, then I didn't spend any of the tens of thousands of dollars I had saved in the bank!
Uncle Li saw me looking at the naan in my hand in a daze, so he persuaded: "Eat some, you have to maintain your strength to go out!"
I nodded, and then took a hard bite of the naan in my hand, in fact, this dry thing is not so unpalatable......
Zhao Qiang saw that everyone didn't have a good appetite, so he smiled and said to everyone: "Do you know what kind of naan to eat in Xinjiang is the most authentic?"
At this time, the big guy was no longer in the mood to guess the problem with him, and he shook his head and said he didn't know. Zhao Qiang took a bite of the naan cake and said: "If you want to say that in Xinjiang, the naan is still the best with roast mutton, take two skewers of roasted lamb and rub it on this naan cake, and then take a big bite, the taste is ...... Tsk, it's so delicious it bites your tongue!"
As soon as he said this, a lot of saliva flowed out of my mouth unconsciously, and I thought to myself, if I can get out alive this time, I must have a good meal of authentic Xinjiang lamb skewers!
When Zhao Qiangzheng was talking energetically, I suddenly saw a small red envelope on the tiger's mouth on his right hand, which looked like he had been bitten by a mosquito.
"Brother Zhao, what did you bite on your right hand?"
He was stunned for a moment, then looked at his right hand, and sure enough, there was a red envelope the size of a soybean at the tiger's mouth on his right hand, which looked like it had been bitten by a mosquito. Zhao Qiang touched it with his hand, it was a little itchy, and there was no other reaction, so he smiled and said to me: "It's okay, maybe I was bitten by a mosquito, and I will go down after a while." ”
After eating, Uncle Li discussed with us the next countermeasures, and finally we decided that we couldn't wait like this, we still had to find water, the area of this ancient city is not small, and we can't rule out the possibility of other water sources.
Although the middle-aged man has repeatedly said that he has searched all over the place, and there is really no other water source, we still have to try again. After all, if we did find a water source, then we wouldn't have to be stuck here forever.
In the end, Uncle Li divided everyone into two groups and searched in two directions to the ancient city, and whether they were found or not, they had to return here to meet in two hours.
Zhao Qiang, Ye Zhiqiu, Luo Hai, and Liu Ziping were in a group, and the middle-aged man was in a group with the rest of us.
Before we left, we didn't forget to go out of the city to take a look, hoping that there would be a miracle, but in the vast sea of sand, there was not even a ghost shadow at all, let alone our car!
After that, we searched all the way in the planned direction, and searched every house we passed, but we couldn't find a drop of water.
We were relatively silent along the way, but I saw Uncle Li take out his mobile phone several times to watch, I knew what he was looking at, and I could see from his expression that he was not sure......
I also wondered for a while, after all, after decades, no one can say whether he is a human or a ghost. And Ding Yi is also a little strange, although Uncle Li and I just suspect that there is something wrong with this middle-aged man, but he seems to be very sure.
At this time, I inadvertently glanced up at the sky, but found that a black line had risen from the horizon in the western sky, and the sunny day, which was still the scorching sun just now, was soon shrouded in black clouds, and the sky changed its face instantly. Uncle Li looked at the sky with a solemn face, as if something bad was about to happen.
"The black storm is coming!" said the middle-aged man suddenly and loudly, pointing to the black clouds in the sky.
When I heard him say this, I realized that the black clouds in the west were flowing at an astonishing speed, but when I looked closely, I found that it was not a dark cloud, but a black sandstorm rolling from the sky!
"Black Storm, are we safe in the ancient city?" I asked worriedly.
The middle-aged man glanced at his watch and said, "At the speed that can be seen by the naked eye now, it should take less than half an hour to get here." But rest assured, the adobe houses here may not be able to withstand the black storm, but the temple will be fine. ”
Uncle Li also agreed with him, but now that we are separated from Zhao Qiang and them, we must find Zhao Qiang and their team first! So we quickly rushed to the direction where their team was looking for water, hoping to find them before the Black Storm arrived......
But unexpectedly, a few of us went all the way in that direction to find the houses near the city gate, but we didn't find any trace of the four of them.
A bad feeling came to me that maybe it was a mistake for us to separate ourselves to find water......
"What about Uncle Li, where can the few of them go?" I said uneasily.
Uncle Li was also in a dilemma, he thought for a while, picked up a tile from the ground, and marked a few words on the wooden table of the house: "Go to the temple quickly." Then he looked up at us and said, "Let's go, let's go to the temple and wait for them." ”
When we arrived at the entrance of the temple, we saw that half of the sky was already covered in black, and the black storm had arrived......
