As soon as Li Qingcang saw these buildings with stone walls and rammed earth walls underneath, he knew that this was the architectural style of Western Xia. Time flies, the ancient city of bricks and stones is dilapidated, but he is alive and kicking because he is born of flesh and blood.

Seeing this ancient city, everyone hurriedly got off the camels, and the old camel commanded the camels to lie down by the broken earthen wall, and then led a group of people to jump into the room from the broken roof of a large house in the city wall.

The old camel jumped out of the house first, and the inside of the house was filled with yellow sand, at least one man high, and the people could only walk on the sand so that they would not be touched on the head by the wooden beams of the roof.

For the rest of their lives, most of the members of the archaeological team were yellow, and they couldn't see whether they were frightened and yellow, or their faces were dusty, and when everyone entered the house, the old camel immediately lay on the ground and began to thank his Allah for coming.

Outside, the wind howled furiously, and the noise was so loud that I couldn't hear what the old camel was saying, but I saw that his expression was solemn and reverent. Several PLA fighters opened their marching bags and tied blankets to the holes to ward off the sand blown in by the wind. The others didn't have any image anymore, and they all lay on their backs on the sand panting.

After a while, the old camel finished praying. Curator Wang went up and patted him on the shoulder and thanked him: "Okay, you old camel, you are really a weather vane in the desert, thanks to you this time, otherwise everyone would have been buried alive by this sandstorm." ”

The old camel waved his hand with a sad face and said: "It is too early to say this, and I don't know what Allah means?" I've been in and out of the desert so many times, and it's the first time I've encountered such a big sandstorm. If we hadn't met this group of messengers sent by Allah, we would have been buried in the purgatory of the sandstorm this time, and we would have waited until the sandstorm had passed. ”

The light in the house is very dim, everyone turns on the flashlight, the room is only a little bright, at this time the sandstorm has also arrived here in the ancient city, the whining wind is like thousands of beasts howling outside the house, just listening to the sound is terrifying, it has a breathtaking power.

The military blanket that blocked the hole in the roof was blown violently by the wind and sand, as if it was about to break the rope that bound it. The big guy hurriedly piled the package under the blanket to hold it up, and it was better, the dim light of the flashlight in the room, coupled with the low space, made everyone feel involuntarily depressed.

Leopard, Xiao Meng, these two guys have relatively big nerves, and after they collapsed on the ground and recovered some strength, they lit a cigarette and swallowed the smoke. By the way, chatting around this sandstorm that ordinary people can't see in their lives.

Speaking of Xing, the leopard laughed and said: "My god, this time I don't lose money, how can ordinary people ever see such a big sandstorm, if this is outside, it will definitely be scraped to the sky, do you say go back and tell those guys that they will believe it?" ”

Xiao Meng replied: "It was still blowing to the sky, and I guess it was buried by the sand before it reached the sky." Grandma, thanks to the apparition of Allah, since there is a house to keep the wind out, I don't think the storm will blow us! ”

Gu Zhaohui and other young people couldn't help but look at each other when they saw that the two of them were so open, and the depressed atmosphere couldn't help but decrease a lot.

Along the way, several older professors had long been suspicious of these two experts who were vulgar and unworthy of their names, and they were afraid of asking questions that would not be good for face.

Now look at these two looks very pleasing to the eye, although they don't seem to understand anything, but at least they are bold enough, with these two bastards, everyone's morale is not so low.

Curator Wang counted the number of people, fortunately there was no one missing, and secretly thanked God in his heart, saw the bitter gourd face of the old camel, and thanked Allah in his heart by the way, seeing that everyone was demoralized and emotionally unstable.

As the initiator and organizer of this archaeology, it is natural to comfort and inspire everyone. So he picked up the kettle he carried and drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and said: "Don't worry, everyone, this ancient city has existed in this desert for thousands of years, I don't know how many sandstorms and storms have been experienced, since it is all fine now, then it must be able to block the sandstorm, you have all seen that group of wild camels, that is the animals in the desert, they can grow so big in the desert, they naturally know where to avoid evil." Take a break when you're tired, eat something when you're hungry, the sandstorm won't last long! ”

Everyone also felt that it was reasonable, anyway, there is still a room to block the wind and sand, and the situation is not much worse, and the mood is much lighter.

Li Qingcang sat cross-legged beside the father and daughter of the Hai family, although the father of the sea had galloped for a while, his demeanor was still calm, his elegance had not diminished at all, and he was carefully wiping the gold-rimmed glasses on his hands.

Xiao Yu'er's complexion has darkened slightly in the desert in the past few days, but she is more healthy, and there are faint beads of sweat on her forehead, and she can't wipe it, but she is helping Li Qingcang brush off the dust on her body.

Li Qingcang looked at her focused appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "How can I be so virtuous and make the beauty so favored?" I thought it was a tourist-like archaeology, but I encountered a sandstorm that changed color in the world, and if there was any danger, I would fight for my life, and I would protect Xiao Yuer's thoughtfulness. ”

The wind was still howling outside, and he had to speak loudly so that everyone could hear his words, and the old camel was worried about the camels lying on the side of the city wall outside, so he had to go out and see. Li Qingcang didn't know how long he would stay in this dilapidated house, worried that the wind and sand would bury the hole in the roof. Besides, the food and drink were still on the back of the camel outside, so he volunteered to go out with the old camel, Xiao Meng and the leopard hurriedly followed, and the four of them wrapped their mouths and noses, brought goggles, and climbed out of the house.

As soon as he got out of the house, a strong wind blew, and the old camel had experience, so he leaned on the roof to minimize the wind resistance, and pouted his butt like a toad and slowly crawled towards the camel herd.

Li Qingcang's true luck was lucky, and he used the Thousand Jin Falling Technique, his two feet were clubbed on the roof like stakes, and his body remained immovable in the wind.

Xiao Meng and the leopard didn't have this experience and exercises, and they were staggered by the wind and retreated straight back.

Seeing that the two were about to fall, Li Qingcang hurriedly reached out and grabbed them. Then all three of them got down and crawled towards the herd of camels.

The house where several people were located was relatively tall, and on the roof, I vaguely saw a few yellow sheep and a few sand wolves huddled together in the dilapidated house on the side, and in front of the natural majesty, the animals that were originally natural enemies began to coexist peacefully.

It took the four of them about ten minutes to slowly climb to the side of the camels, and the camels were all curled up under the city wall. The camel's heavy eyelids covered its eyes, its wide nose covered its nostrils, and it lay motionless under the walls at the face of the wind, and the ancient walls blocked most of the sand and sheltered the "ships of the desert" that shrank at its feet.

The old camel was relieved when he saw that the camels were safe and sound, and he and Li Qingcang and others began to unload their luggage from the camel's back, tied them tightly with ropes to prevent them from being blown away by the wind, and then several people slowly climbed back into the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I put on my headscarf and goggles, and as soon as I unloaded my luggage, the sand on my body fell straight away.

The leopard was busy telling squad leader Zhang that there were yellow sheep and wolves in the broken house outside, and instigated squad leader Zhang to go out and shoot a game and come back.

Squad leader Zhang is also a young man, and when he heard this, he was eager to try, and he picked up the nine-five style and was ready to go out, but the old camel hurriedly stopped, saying that these animals were arranged here by Allah, and even wolves can hide in the same room with sheep, how can we go against Allah's will to harm them.

After speaking, he glared at the leopard fiercely, and resolutely did not allow squad leader Zhang to go out hunting.

When squad leader Zhang heard this, he had no choice but to give up, and immediately arranged for two subordinates to stand guard to prevent wild beasts from coming in to hide from the wind and sand.

The leopard saw that the old camel had a bad eye, so he had to say to the old camel: "Okay, uncle, I was wrong, don't mention this, let's eat canned food and drink wine, Allah will not blame, right?" ”

Xiao Meng took out canned food, liquor, and fresh water from the luggage he had just brought in, and began to distribute them to everyone.

After a short rest, everyone's mood calmed down a lot, and they reached out to take the food and began to eat and drink.

After Curator Wang ate a few mouthfuls of dry food, he took out the map and began to study where he is now, and he still didn't know what he was after looking at it for a long time, so he called the old camel to come over and start asking, the old camel commanded the camel team to follow the camel herd for a while, and now he can't figure out the southeast and northwest, but it is estimated that it is not far from Blackwater City, and the ruins of this ancient city may belong to the scope of Blackwater City.

Several professors discussed together for a long time and did not determine the current direction, so they simply ignored it.

He began to discuss the building techniques of the ancient Tangut people around the beams and tiles of the roof, and a group of students sat around and listened to the teachers' opinions.

Li Qingcang had no interest in this ancient Xixia architecture, so he naturally didn't go to join in the excitement, Hai Ruyu was also by his side, not to mention Leopard and Xiao Meng, he was drowsy when he heard these old professors speak.

I was bored waiting for the sandstorm to subside, and suddenly "Woohoo! A crisp gunshot startled everyone.

Hurriedly looked towards the place where the gun rang out, and saw Xia Zhi'an, who was sentry at the entrance of the cave, putting down the rifle in his hand, smiling apologetically at everyone, and said: "A few wolves ran here just now, and it seemed that they wanted to enter our house to take shelter, so I had to shoot them away." Then he said to the old camel: "Uncle, don't worry, I didn't hurt them, and Allah won't be angry." ”

When the old camel heard this, he replied: "Well, they are all the people of Allah, and it is not good to kill indiscriminately in this great sandstorm!" ”

The professors were startled by the gunshot, and they were not interested in discussing the roof beams, and praised several PLA soldiers one after another.

Professor Xu said to Director Wang: "Old Wang! Or you think thoughtfully, find the army to send a few good guys to protect us, these little soldiers are good, conscientious, I will react to their leaders when I go back, and give them a credit. ”

Curator Wang also nodded again and again, indicating that he had this intention, and after a false alarm, there was still a raging wind outside, and he couldn't stop seeing this sandstorm for a while and a half. The big guys opened their sleeping bags one after another and began to rest.
