Chapter 33: The Black Storm

"When yellow clouds rise in the sky, the wind must be coming. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info you see, today's morning sun is dim, I am afraid that there will be a sandstorm. You see, it's just our current team. Can it withstand sandstorms? It's better to hurry back to the oasis of last night, the desert is far more terrifying than you can imagine. Luckily, we've only been in the desert for three days, so we're going to hurry back. Dawan horse, don't do it! Yun Yue pointed to the dim morning sun in the distance and said.

Following Yun Yue's fingers, Ao Canghai also felt that today's sun was a little strange. It was hazy and seemed to be covered with a thin veil, and it looked like it was sick and crooked. Reminiscent of those veiled Yueshi women.

"Master Hou, will there really be a sandstorm?" Ao Canghai still didn't believe it, after all, it was the first time in his life that he went deep into the desert. Ao Canghai's understanding of the desert is as scarce as the northwesterners' understanding of seagulls.

"Even if there were no sandstorms, there would be a lot of wind. The winds in the desert can lift people into the sky. The tent will be like a kite, and you can't pull it if you want to. When the sand hits your face, it can scrape off a layer of skin from your face. And that's not the worst thing, the worst thing is that the sand will get into the lungs because of breathing. It's a taste that makes you feel like you're ripping your chest open. It may be better to go to the oasis, but we should also warn the brothers. It may be better to wrap the muzzle and nose of yourself and your horses in silk and cotton. In fact, Yun Yue has never experienced a sandstorm in the desert.

But he has experienced the sandstorms in the capital in later generations, and the scene where the yellow sand covers the sun all day long and almost buries the capital is really scary. The street lamps in the daytime, the bright and bright street lamps on weekdays, are like a bean-like oil lamp in the sandstorm. There is no other use than to indicate directions.

Ao Canghai was frightened by Yun Yue's words, and the habits he had developed over the years made him instinctively believe anything Yun Yue said. Even if Yun Yue said that the eggs were born on a tree, he would not hesitate to say that there was one.

Yun Yue's order was conveyed as quickly as possible, and then the rear team changed to the front team. Without horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, the speed of the team's steering was greatly increased. The rigorous training made the Pingliang soldiers have no complaints. As soon as those Dayue clan soldiers and people complained, they were whipped by the Pingliang officers who were sent. The Yue's people are untouchables in Pingliang, and the Pingliang people owe respect the Yue's people from top to bottom. Even the Qiang people, who are also untouchables, are now beginning to look down on the Yueshi people. In the past, there was still intermarriage between the Yueshi and the Qiang people in Pingliang, but with the improvement of the status of the Qiang people. There are fewer and fewer intermarriages, even if there are intermarriages. is also a beauty of the Yue family, married to a Qiang man.

In the Warring States period, women were the same as wealth. All belong to resources, and if they are resources, they will circulate to the places where the benefits are maximized. This is true throughout the ages!

When they heard that a sandstorm was coming, the people of the Otsuki clan did not complain. Camels are fast, and they know how powerful sandstorms can be when they live on the edge of the desert. The lack of knowledge made it possible for them to understand some simple knowledge only among the high priests and elders. The prediction of sandstorms has always been a secret of these high priests. If the idler knows, it is equivalent to receiving a pass to the underworld.

The prophecy of the great tribulation allows all people to reach their full potential. The sun in the sky is not scorching, and compared to yesterday, it is like the difference between a street and a virgin in a boudoir. This seems to confirm Yun Yue's judgment even more, and the knights no longer cherish horsepower. Camels were driven not much slower than horses, and these animals were suitable for survival in the desert. More sensitive than humans, a special feeling tells them everything that is about to happen.

I walked all night last night, and by noon we were already far away. Behind him, there was already a yellow mark. All the people believe in Yunyue like they believe in gods, and Hou Ye is too godly. Even sandstorms, a super problem that will be unpredictable in later generations, can be solved.

As soon as they stormed the oasis, the camels fell to their knees with a wail, hiding their heads under the thick layers of camel hair. The folk men frantically unloaded their baggage to the ground, and the war horses kept shaking their ears. The hooves kept digging into the ground, and the owner of the war horse carried them into the depths of the oasis. For the desert, horses are as much guests as people. The desert took out the phantom ritual of the sandstorm to welcome the arrival of the Marquis of Yun.

The sound of tearing cloth kept coming, and the cloth silk was not difficult to handle. The innermost layer of the Yun family's armor is the silk lining. Further inward, there is cotton underwear. For the Great Qin cavalry, this was a standard luxury configuration. You must know that cotton cloth has been sold for a sky-high price of one horse in Daqin. A big girl who is like a flower is worth two pieces of cotton.

Wusun Jichang always said that cotton is not grown on the cool land. It is a copper coin that rings directly.

Silk was wrapped in layers on the mouth and nose of the war horse, and the role of livestock in the desert was greater than that of the animal. A lot of things had to be brought to the cattle first, and the mouths and noses of the horses were wrapped before it was the turn of the cavalrymen themselves.

When a black earthen wall on the horizon was pushed over, Raila's fat face was no longer visible. The creature tied itself to a tree, and what it saw was the legendary Black Storm. Hurriedly found another rope and tied it twice, thinking about it, I don't feel at ease. I picked up a few more stones and put them in my arms. That's like an ostrich, squatting with its butt outward under the tree. Welcome the arrival of the Black Storm with your own chrysanthemum.

The wind of the black storm is not strong, and the people and horses can completely resist it by hiding in the oasis, and the horror is the dense sand and dust, and the visibility is extremely low in such weather conditions, so it is definitely not an exaggeration to say that you can't see your fingers.

The reason why the people of the Otsutsuki clan are afraid of the black storm is mainly because of the dense sand and dust. The sand and dust of the black storm is so dense that it can even be suffocating. Even those tiny specimens of sand and dust are sucked into the lungs, which is a fatal thing.

In the same way that a mudslide is more destructive than a flood, a black storm with sand and gravel dust is a hundred times more violent than a wind of the same size, and its entry into the oasis from a distant desert is only slightly slower. As time passed, it still covered the oasis with all kinds of strange howls.

When it got dark, Yun Yue tied herself to a tree like most people. Not far away, Zheng Bin did the same, and the sand and dust "crackled" on the armor. Suddenly, Yun Yue felt a sense of relief on her body. The tightly bound rope broke somehow, and a dark shadow appeared in front of Yun Yue in the haze. (To be continued.) )
