Chapter 252: Seeing the Light of Day Again

The storm lasted for two days and one night, and when the movement outside was finally no longer heard, everyone planned to go out.

It's a pity that the previous fears finally came true, and they were buried under the thick yellow sand.

Originally, several people wanted to dig out together, but they found an amazing phenomenon, the sand was too soft, and the more they dug, the more sand leaked into the hole.

If they continue, before they see the light of day, I am afraid that the current hole will be buried.

This is a dilemma, if you don't dig, the limited water and food will always run out, but if you keep digging, it seems that you are burying yourself alive.

It's like it's all a death.

In this case, only the old guide should have experience, and since he commanded everyone to dig a sand pit to escape, he should have thought of this situation a long time ago.

But when they entered the cave, they happened to be not with the old guide.

"Why don't we wait, they will help us come out when they come out."

Sov offered her opinion, she didn't think it was a good idea to dig a hole blindly, not only would it drain her physical strength, but it might also hasten her own demise.

It is the right thing to respond to all changes with the same.

"There is no reason to wait for death here, no, I still have to give it a try, I can't dig outside, just change the direction."

Luo Tianjiao is an anxious person, and letting her stare here is simply killing her.

"Okay, let's assume that the cliff is dug through, but where are you going to pile up the excavated soil?"

Su Fu didn't bother to persuade her, and directly threw her a fatal question.

"I ......"

Luo Tianjiao was speechless for a moment, she was just too anxious, she was not stupid, and naturally quickly understood Su Fu's intentions.

"Alright, just wait."

After a few more hours, they finally heard the sound of digging sand overhead, and the sound of people.

I was overjoyed, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the hole to be dug open, revealing the sky outside, and fresh air rushed in.

"General Lin, Captain Luo......"

A few people hurried out, feeling like they were all going crazy, purely the rhythm of being buried alive inside.

When I came out to look, I found that there were still many people buried underneath, and the people who came out were busy helping to shovel the sand.

"Are you okay with the adults?"

The old guide hurriedly came over to say goodbye, and was relieved to see that they were all right.

"Everyone who came out hurried to help prevent someone from digging underneath and burying themselves inside."

Thinking of what happened just now, Luo Tianjiao was anxious, and immediately ordered everyone to speed up.

"It doesn't matter, if you see any obvious collapse, you will give priority to excavation, most likely because the quicksand inside has sunken."

The old guide, who was obviously experienced, immediately added with a smile.

It turned out that there was such a trick, everyone no longer dug blindly, and when they saw where the sand collapsed, they quickly dug up.

Sure enough, there are several places that are very dangerous, and they have been filled with sand, but fortunately, the previous holes were dug diagonally, and there is still a small amount of space that cannot be filled. 8090

Otherwise, these people will probably suffocate to death.

As the people who came out joined the excavation team, the speed increased greatly, and after half an hour, all the people were dug out.

I tapped it, and except for a few who were slightly injured, no one was in trouble.

Su Fu and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered to count the other things, there were few horses left alive, and most of them were buried in the yellow sand, or ran away.

What is rare is that the camels are all fine, and as for the grain, since it was unloaded and piled at the foot of the cliff before entering the cave, most of the rest are still intact, except for some bags that have been blown out.

After the counting, everyone was glad and began to worry again, without horses, how would they transport so much grain to Blackwater City.

"Is there an oasis or water source nearby?"

The old guide thought for a moment before replying, "There is an abandoned castle not far from here, and there is a covered well, so it should be no problem to drink water." ”

"In that case, let's find a way to transport things over there first, and then send a few people to Blackwater City on horseback to seek reinforcements, what do you think?"

Su Fu's proposal was agreed by Luo Tianjiao, "Okay, let's do it." ”

Anyway, there are only a few horses, and they can't do anything else, so they just happen to be used to ventilate the news.

The previous carriage was almost completely blown apart, and only a few scattered parts were found, and a few complete carriages were barely reassembled.

Anyway, there were many people, so they used manpower to pull these carriages, some of them stayed where they were, and the other part followed the old guide to find water.

It was not far, but in fact it was forty or fifty miles, and without horses, they walked very slowly, and before dark, they finally reached the abandoned castle.

There are more than a dozen adobe houses with stone pedestals, the roofs are long gone, and the earthen walls have collapsed a lot, and I don't know how many years they have stood in the desert.

In such a violent wind and sand, it can be regarded as very tenacious.

In the largest of them, in the courtyard, the old guide led them to an old well covered with stones in a house.

Fortunately, there is clear water inside.

"This well is connected to an underground river, and it does not dry up all year round, even if hundreds of people eat and drink water, it does not matter."

After setting up camp in this place for the time being, they sent people in shifts to transport the remaining grain, and so on until the next morning, when all the grain was brought over.

As for those who went to report the news, they set off in the afternoon of the first day, and if they traveled alone, they could get to Blackwater City in three days.

The two sides come and go, which means that they can wait for reinforcements after at least 6~7 days.

But as long as you have water, you are not afraid of anything. What's more, they were originally transporting food, so they didn't have to worry about starving to death.

You can also hunt some small animals in the desert, such as gerbils, which are quite large and delicious.

After settling down, everyone remembered what happened under the cliff before, and couldn't help but wonder how the old guide escaped from below.

"It's simple, you just don't know the trick."

The old guide smiled and said, "That mountain cliff is called Ghost Crying Cliff, and there are many holes in the mountain rocks, and when the wind blows, it will make extremely terrifying sounds, just like a ghost crying." ”

No wonder they don't feel breath-holding in the hole, it turns out that this is the reason.

"Just dig a bigger hole in the mountain wall and pour the dug sand into it, and it will come out in no time."

Although it seems very simple after revealing the secret, but in that case, inexperienced people may not be able to think of it when they break their heads, so they can only be trapped inside.

Nature is truly a magical place, with a terrifying black storm that exterminates everything.

There will also be strange places like Devil's Crying Cliff, leaving a glimmer of life for people walking in the desert.
