The others also hurriedly followed, and the group ran forward with the camels, and after running for a while, the sky began to change, the wind blew, stronger and stronger, the sand and gravel began to spin in the wind, and the light became dim. Walking in the strong wind became more and more difficult, Li Yongan and others stopped to help the three women behind, the two camels still did not stop, and they had disappeared without a trace. Tan Suqin couldn't walk anymore, and shouted to Li Yongan: "Let's find a place to hide!" ”

Li Yongan shook his head and said, "No! Follow those two camels, they don't stop, we keep going! Forcibly pulled Tan Suqin forward. After walking for a while, they finally saw two camels lying on their stomachs under a sand dune, and the group hurriedly followed and hid under the dunes.

The storm lasted for a long time, almost an hour. Li Yongan and the others kept feeling the wind blowing, and the sand kept falling on their bodies, but they felt that the wind was not so strong, and they followed the camels to avoid the center of the storm.

After the storm passed, the group walked out from under the sand dunes where they had taken refuge and continued on their way. Yan Jinling was pleasantly surprised to find that after the interference of the storm and after some evasion, she found her lost direction again. Under her guidance, the group came to a wide area of large and small fixed and semi-fixed sand dunes, where some vegetation grows extensively, and the sand slowly accumulates against the vegetation to form this fixed or semi-fixed sand dune, which will not disappear completely due to the blowing of the storm. There are also several remnants of buildings scattered between the dunes, which are quite damaged. Only a few walls and remnants of the foundation remain, making it impossible to see what it was used for, as it is a solid stone structure. It has survived to this day.

Yan Jinling said casually: This is the base camp of a group of very famous desert bandits! Li Yongan couldn't help but suddenly realize, no wonder Xiao Zhenbei hid things here from afar! Could it be that he was one of the desert bandits in the first place? Li Yongan doesn't know much about Xiao Zhenbei's life experience, and he has never heard Xiao Zhenbei talk about it, Li Yongan is only interested in his shocking kung fu, Xiao Zhenbei has told him about it, his kung fu is honed in a difficult environment! Does this harsh environment also include this desert environment? Li Yongan does not know.

Yan Jinling found the remnants of a building and used it as a reference. She measured the distance in one direction, counting the steps she had taken, and when she had reached a full one hundred and twenty steps. stopped, turned his head to Li Yongan and said, "Right here, dig down!" ”

Li Yongan beckoned and called Zhang Laosan and Kang Dali over. The three of them started digging. Tan Suyun and Tan Suqin also came over to help. Because of the loss of tools, several people could only use the daggers and knives they carried with them to dig down, but fortunately, it was all some sand, which was relatively soft and not very laborious.

The group dug down a few meters and still didn't see anything, and the sand kept sliding downward, making the digging cumbersome. Li Yongan asked Yan Jinling suspiciously, "Are you mistaken?" ”

Yan Jinling nodded with great certainty and said, "No." This is it! ”

Li Yongan had no choice but to continue digging down. After digging about a meter deep. Finally dug something, Kang Dali's knife tip first touched the hard object, making a muffled sound of "bang", he raised his head and said to Li Yongan in surprise: "Big boss, there is!" ”

The three of them hurriedly exerted their strength, and after a while, two huge mahogany boxes were dug out, and the three of them lifted the two boxes up from the bottom of the pit, and the boxes were kept very intact because of dryness, and even the red paint painted on them was still bright and dazzling. Li Yongan and the three of them stared greedily at the box, wanting to know what was inside, Tan Suyun and the three of them were also very curious, and wanted to know what was in the two boxes that they had worked so hard to find, so several people opened the sealed box, and what greeted them was a whole box of calligraphy and paintings, a roll, a scroll, a shaft, and a waterproof tarpaulin kept very well, as they guessed at the beginning, this treasure is hidden in some cultural antiquities! Li Yongan and the others were very disappointed, although they also knew that these calligraphy and paintings were very valuable, but after all, they were not literati and ink artists, and they were not very interested in these things, what they wanted to see was real real money, or gems and jewelry! But the two sisters Tan Suyun and Tan Suqin were very interested in these things, which was exactly what they hoped to find, and they hurriedly picked up some of them and opened them to look at them, looking very obsessed.

Li Yongan and the three of them also opened another box and looked at it, but it turned out that it still contained calligraphy and paintings, as well as a few books, in which Li Yongan found the "Ranga Sutra"! The scripture was still in good condition, Li Yongan casually flipped through a few pages and threw it aside, turned his head to Yan Jinling and asked, "Is it just these two boxes?" Is there anything else? ”

Yan Jinling replied, "I don't know how many boxes he buried here!" ”

Li Yongan said: "Then look for it again!" And Zhang Laosan, Kang Dali and the two returned to the pit and continued to dig down, and after digging a few times, they encountered hard objects again, Kang Dali just wanted to open his mouth and shout: "There are boxes!" Li Yongan glared at him, shook his head and stopped, Li Yongan motioned him to move somewhere else to dig again, and after digging a few times, Li Yongan shouted out of the pit: "No, nothing, just those two boxes!" ”

Zhang Laosan and Kang Dali understood and knew that Li Yongan wanted to keep the remaining boxes secret in private, but they were very well-behaved and no one said anything.

Tan Suyun and Tan Suqin were busy inspecting the calligraphy and paintings in the two boxes, and they didn't come over to verify them personally, but only the two boxes also made them feel very satisfied, and those calligraphy and paintings were very precious!

Li Yongan and the three climbed up from the pit and pushed the sand on the side to fill the pit again, this is a superfluous move, everything has been dug out, why bother to bury it? Fortunately, Tan Suyun and Tan Suqin didn't care, and after they finished reading the calligraphy and paintings, they sorted out the calligraphy and paintings and put them back in the box.

After a short rest, the group began to set off for the return of the desert, and they wanted to get out of the desert as soon as there was still enough water.

The two boxes are carried by two camels, although the box is very large, but because it is filled with calligraphy and painting, it is not very heavy, the two camels are at ease, a group of people lead the camels on foot, return according to the original way, go back much faster than when they came, more than ten days later, a group of people returned to the town before departure!
