Escape

Luo Gang led the camel caravan and walked through the sand dunes, and before he knew it, the eastern sky was also flushed with a touch of fish belly white, and some green and shadowy lights could be faintly seen in the distance.

"Guys, we're still a few kilometres away from Milan Farm! Spice it up, maybe we have prepared a hearty breakfast! Luo Gang said loudly to the people behind him.

"Squad leader, you say you eat a big meal every time, but every time you are a nest, now I can eat a meal of noodles, I am already very satisfied!" Liu Xi said.

"Do you want to give you some lamb, carrots, onions, and a big spoonful of red oil and spicy seeds? Make your little rabbit so beautiful, it's good to have a nest to eat! Luo Gang sneered.

While everyone was talking and laughing, a gust of wind blew from the northwest behind them, rolling up tiny grains of sand and rolling among the dunes, making a subtle rustling sound. "It's almost dawn, why do I feel getting darker!" Luo Gang wondered in his heart. At this time, the sound of wind and sand is getting louder and more frequent, "Not good! Luo Gang was shocked, and looked back sharply, only to see that the sky not far from the northwest was already covered with dark clouds, thick black clouds, layer upon layer, like a million cavalry rushing forward, the dark clouds were very close to the ground, it seemed to be running against the sand dunes, and in the rolling black clouds, lightning flashed from time to time. Damn, the Black Sandstorm is coming! Everyone hastened and tried to cross the windbreak before he came. With Luo Gang's shout, a lightning bolt crossed the sky, and the thunder was deafening, drowning Luo Gang's voice in the thunder.

At this time, shouting was useless, Luo Gang took out his submachine gun, and shot a few bullets quickly and rapidly in the sky, the rhythm was fast and slow, it seemed to be a whistle for an emergency assembly, and then he took out a flare and shot towards the windbreak 2km away. Everyone immediately understood what Luo Gang meant, and slapped the camel's buttocks one after another. "Driving, driving, driving", the camel is not sluggish, carrying people and materials, rushing down the sand dunes at once, like an assault boat, galloping in the sea of sand. At this time, the golden sunlight passed through the windbreak, shooting out thousands of golden threads, shining on Luo Gang and the others, and just behind them, a sandstorm nearly 100 meters high, covering the sky and the sun, rolling black clouds with lightning, chasing after them.

Just when everyone's camel was about to run close to the windbreak, a lightning bolt pierced the sky, and the sound split a poplar tree more than one person thick, and the trunk of more than ten meters high was split and shattered, like a goddess scattering flowers with sparks, falling from the sky, everyone could only walk through this fire rain with a hard head, the ashes of the trunk fell on the face, the hat squeaked hotly, Liu Xilai's camel seemed to be burned crazy, and suddenly fell to the ground and rolled, throwing Liu Xilai out at once.

When Liu Xilai was about to hit a poplar tree hard, he saw a person riding a camel running, holding Xilai's ankle with one hand, and with all his strength, he pulled him onto the camel and clamped it on his chest.

"You kid are jugglers, huh? At this time, still playing trapeze? Abramaimaiti, while holding Liu Xilai, quickly twitched the reins, and teased in a stiff Chinese.

"Fly a hammer, if I can fly, what are I doing riding that camel!" Liu Xilai said.

"If it weren't for the fact that my brother is the champion of Diao Yang every year, I guess you kid will go to see the true god today!" Abramaimaiti said again.

In the blink of an eye, everyone passed through the windbreak for nearly 100 meters, and even Liu Xilai's rolling camel followed the large team and caught up. The wind and sand seemed to be much smaller, but it was still blowing so much that people couldn't open their eyes, and Luo Gang motioned everyone to take shelter under the ruins of the ancient city of Milan not far away.

At this time, the ancient city of Milan has lost the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties, and the city walls of the ancient city have been buried by yellow sand, leaving only some loess walls, and the earthen roofs are sporadically exposed on the sand dunes.

"Squad leader! You see! That has a big domed house like a big meat bun! Do you think it will be the big castle of Queen Quran? There may be some priceless antiques inside! Liu Xilai shouted loudly.

"You know a fart that's called a dome, and it's a big meat bun, I think you're hungry and faint, melon baby!" Luo Gang replied helplessly.

"I don't know if it's the Queen's castle, but when I was a young camel walker, I always saw similar structures in the West. However, it is very likely to be a temple or a temple, because even if it is the queen's palace, there can't be only one dome! The queen is also having a shabby life! Luo Gang replied without a straight face.

"Why don't we go there and take shelter from the Black Sandstorm? Better than eating sand outside, squad leader? Liu Xilai asked.

When Luo Gang heard Liu Xilai's proposal, he turned sideways, laboriously opened his mouth covered by the veil, and shouted at the camel caravan: "Everyone follow the team, let's go to the big dome castle at 4 o'clock to take refuge!" With that, he quickened the speed of his march.

Abramaimaiti rode his camel and heard that he was going to take refuge in the domed castle, and his face changed suddenly. He flicked his whip, "Ride!" Drive! Drive! He shouted three times in a row, speeding up to catch up, Luo Gang at the front of the team. After three or five minutes, and when Abramaimaiti was more than ten meters away from Luo Gang, Luo Gang had already rushed into the dark gate of the domed castle on a camel. At this time, Maimaiti thought to herself, "It's broken! ”

Maimaiti didn't care so much, and followed Luo Gang and rushed in on a camel. "Squad leader! Monitor! Maimaiti cried anxiously! The dome was pitch black, and the strong temperature difference made people feel even colder, as if goosebumps were moving on their bodies.

"What is the ghost called, Lao Tzu has not sacrificed!" Luo Gang's voice came in the darkness. "Oops, I fell to death, why are there so many steps in this house!"

"Boom!" With a bang, a cluster of firelight lit up not far from Maimaiti, burning brighter and brighter, and then Luo Gang's face covered with dirt and ash was reflected.

"Squad leader, let's take shelter from the wind in another place. The legend of the old man of our family here is very evil. Abramaimaiti said anxiously.

"What are you afraid of, if you come, you will be safe, they are all so heavy in the yang energy of a big man, how can there be any evil crooked way that dares to approach. Go! Call them in, and by the way, tell everyone to slow down, there are steps on the ground. Luo Gang said unhurriedly to Abramaimaiti.

Maimaiti turned around and followed the faint light shining through the sail arch of the dome and receded, and when he entered the dome with everyone again, Luo Gang had already lit a bonfire on the ground, and as the flames danced, the walls, steps, and stone pillars of the dome castle seemed to be twisting and shaking, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression. The camels lay neatly in front of the sail arch, keeping the black sandstorm out.

The crowd patted the sand off their bodies, took off their hats and scarves, and took off their shoes, and whipped them in their hands to shake off the sand on them.

Luo Gang smoked a cigarette, sat on the steps in a corner, looked at the cigarette roll, and said solemnly, "This sand is the cleanest, so what is it, you should take a waterless sand bath." In ancient times, sand baths could also cure skin diseases! You guys! I don't know anything about enjoyment. Inadvertently, he saw that Maimaiti did not shake the sand, but stood in front of the bonfire in a daze, as if he had been hooked, which was particularly conspicuous. Is it really evil? Luo Gang remembered the conversation between Abramaimati and him in the dome just now.

Luo Gang stood up and said loudly: "Just shake, like a big girl, who will see if there is sand on your body in this desert!" Poor and smelly beauty! Hurry up and rest, and after a while the sandstorm stops, and we will hurry. He walked over to the campfire, patted Maimaiti on the shoulder, and asked, "Are you okay?" Are there any legends about this place? Tell me about it! It's just a good relief for everyone. ”

Maimaiti slowly came back to his senses, swallowed his saliva, looked around, and whispered: "Actually, I also listened to the old man tell me when I was a child. ”
