Chapter 200: A lifesaver
The wind grew stronger and stronger, and with layers of sand, the wounds on the Han army's bodies were penetrated by seamless sand knives. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Master Qin, who is like a piece of paper, is tossing and turning in the wind, and it is a loss that Gu Xiu still relies on him, so that the one-eyed person takes care of him very firmly, otherwise someone like him would have died a long time ago.
"Gu Zhangshi, it's not a way to go on like this, if we don't find a point to dodge, then it's not ...... If we don't find the Loulan people, we will have to stay in the sea of sand......"
In the face of such a change, Dai Ze listened to the fierceness of the rush, and the panic and worry in his heart were dug out, he pulled his voice, and the words he came out of the mouth were intermittent in the wind and sand, and he couldn't hear it clearly at all, but Gu Xiu knew what he was talking about. He staggered along, and while others were desperate or only instinctively urged to walk, he still thought of hatred and treasure. His mind is beyond ordinary people, even if the earth cracks and the flood bursts, he still believes that he can get out of it, because at that moment, his heart is still beating, and the feeling of being alive is so strong, as long as there is still a breath, he will not fall, because he still has a lot of things to do, and now is not the end.
He thought, although the steps were difficult, but every step was full of firmness, the wind and sand were strong, but when the strong wind and sand met people who were not afraid of it, it did not seem so terrible.
The surrounding environment has been shrouded in yellow colors, and the night is no longer pure and transparent, it seems to be dyed with impurities. Slowly, the figures of his companions turned into dark shadows, and they could barely be seen at first, but in the end, they couldn't tell who was who, only Dai Ze was still firmly following Gu Xiu's side, raising his hand, and walking forward against the wind.
Although Gu Xiu's will was firm, he was not a person who had been in the desert for a long time after all, he saw the yellow sand in the sky, and his companions shouted one by one and disappeared, and he was also a little panicked in his heart, because if it were not for Huo Meng and You Hua with Ah Hong and Chijia, then his firm mind would collapse in an instant. He looked back and saw that the sand dunes he had climbed had turned into a shadow that stood. He tore off the cloth covering his face and called out the names of Huo Meng and the others, but his voice was quickly muffled by the howling wind and sand.
The wind and sand are like a tiger out of the cage, pushing Gu Xiu and Dai Ze's bodies indiscriminately, the two of them just walked and stumbled at first, but then they were blown so that they couldn't get up at all, and the sand soon spread wantonly, grabbing their feet, the feeling of despair hit the sky, a whole piece of yellow sand was screaming, people were so small in it, even Gu Xiu, who had killed countless people, was vulnerable in the face of nature's shock.
"We're done...... No...... Without any shelter, this man is a wooden pole on a windy day, which will be ravaged and blown at will...... Blowing ...... "Dai Ze's words were not finished, the sand wind suddenly came to Gu Xiu and him with a roll, Dai Ze fell, Gu Xiu fell to the ground at that moment, after the first wave of sand passed, he pulled up Dai Ze, who was blown by the wind, against the wind and sand, propped up his body, and crawled forward, he knew that once he stopped, this place would become his burial place, a burial place where there was no tombstone and no one knew that you would be buried here.
The two of them depended on each other, and when Gu Xiu's consciousness gradually began to blur, he saw a huge tree trunk that fell sideways, it was an old poplar tree, although in the yellow sand, it was as small as a lonely boat, but at least it could give himself a chance to ride the wind and waves.
Gu Xiu dragged Dai Ze, against the fierce whistling sand wind, and reluctantly drilled into the place where the poplar tree fell, the old poplar was like a life-saving straw given to Gu Xiu by God, ironically God gave Gu Xiu a chance, but also indirectly took the lives of many people.
The body of the old poplar is very large, and the branches are twisted, like a dragon resting in the desert. Gu Xiu took Dai Ze to get into those branches, and to his excitement, part of the main part of the poplar was empty. He let the weak Daze get in first, and he himself curled up like a hedgehog to dodge, although the posture was very lame, but at least he didn't have to face the wild sand.
Found a place to hide, Gu Xiu was already too tired, he hadn't closed his eyes for a long time, he was always vigilant about everything around him, and now he was tired to a certain extent, sleepiness came flooding, even in such a cramped place, he still fell asleep groggily.
I don't know how long I slept, Gu Xiu woke up suddenly, he felt very stuffy in his chest, and his breathing began to be difficult. It turned out that at some point, a lot of yellow sand was driven into the trunk of the tree, and they blocked the exit.
Dai Ze's breathing was also very heavy, Gu Xiu was sore, but he still gritted his teeth, and carefully pushed away the yellow sand that was blocked in the mouth with his hand, but the sand was piled up very thick, and as soon as it was pushed away, more collapsed.
Gu Xiu suddenly realized that the trunk of the old poplar had been covered by the yellow sand, and he had to get out of it in one go, instead of slowly removing the yellow sand as he did now.
At this thought, he was like a dragon swimming in the water, slamming into the yellow sand, and then using all his strength, he pushed upward, and half of his body finally drilled out of the thick yellow sand. At the same time, the sky outside was already slightly bright, and the dark blue sky of jewels covered the earth, and without the wind, everything seemed lifeless.
Gu Xiu struggled carefully, and after getting out of it, he spent a lot of physical strength to get the dying Dai Ze out. Dazzle's breathing was weak, soft like a noodle, and there was sand in his mouth and nose, which made it especially difficult for him to breathe.
Seeing this, Gu Xiu didn't care about picking out the foreign object in Dai Ze's mouth and nose with his hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Hold on to ......" Since Chang Sheng's death, Dai Ze has become a younger brother in Gu Xiu's heart, their personalities are very similar, Gu Xiu can rarely find someone to talk to, of course he doesn't want him to die.
After breathing slowly, Dai Ze frowned, he covered his forehead, and snorted, finally picking up a life. After he gradually became conscious, he thanked Yu Gu Xiu for his desperate rescue, but this sandstorm came too suddenly and violently, they went against the evil body of the sand, they were already exhausted, coupled with the continuous running, the two of them had sore limbs, and now, they were lying in the vast sea of sand without any thoughts, and only a few branches of the old poplar were still exposed outside the yellow sand, and it saved the lives of Gu Xiu and Dai Ze.
The coolness of the morning sun made the two slowly wake up, and they were exhausted to prop up their bodies, wandering in the desert in a daze, looking for those who were still alive, but there was little hope, I was afraid that those Han soldiers and the people of the Thorn Tomb Gate had been buried in the yellow sand.
Gu Xiu was very sad in his heart, not because of the death of his companion, but because the person he had worked so hard to collect had not played any role, and was devoured. The most pity for him was that Qin Baichang, just as they were staggering, he saw a lot of dark shadows in the blue and vast earth, and the shadows were in groups of three and two, staggering, like a group of wandering living dead.
Gu Xiu shuddered, and hurriedly asked Dai Ze to bend down, and the two of them observed carefully, these people seemed to be looking for something, and when they looked at it, weren't they the Han army and the people of the Assassin Tomb?
Gu Xiu counted, leaving aside the two Han soldiers who died in the forest at that time and the old seven of the Thorn Tomb Gate, now there are exactly twenty-four people, twenty-four, it's not right, there are two people missing, two Loulan people!
