Chapter 319: Desert Travel

Ah Chuan stopped, wrapped himself in a hemp turban, and even covered his eyes, I also followed his example, the turban was very thin, which did not affect the vision, but covered the sun, which was a lot cooler.

I thought there would be footprints on the desert, but now when I see that the sand surface is smooth, there is nothing, and now the wind is lighter, and the wind is strong at night, erasing all the traces of Uncle Yuan and them.

This is a veritable place of death, and if they disappear into the desert completely, who in the world knows how many people are missing but us?

It was very hot, but I shivered, and quickly drove out the thoughts in my head, it was so unlucky, it was just the beginning, and I thought that they would never come back.

"Let's go." Ah Chuan spoke softly, pulling the camel towards the sea of sand.

"Hey, who's that, we're just going to go? Don't ride a camel? A clear voice came from behind him, and it was Sun Kai again.

"You are blind, how many things are you on the back of a camel that you can't see? If you want to ride a camel, you can ride it with two buckets on your back! Before Ah Chuan could speak, Lao Huang had already called, he had already seen that this group of students was unpleasant, and he spoke unceremoniously.

Where have these students seen such a wild way as Lao Huang, they didn't dare to speak at the moment, and after a few seconds of silence, the man named Wang Yiming spoke in a suppressed voice: "We don't ride, you see that our teacher is so old, can't he ride?" ”

"No, no," Professor Zhang hurriedly spoke, "I often go to the field for investigations, this little road is nothing, you don't have to worry, I am measured, I listen to others' arrangements, don't make any more trouble." ”

The students all quieted down, I saw a sneer on the corner of Ah Chuan's mouth, he didn't say anything and continued to move forward, Lao Huang scolded a few words in a low voice behind him, I also think this errand is hard enough, after seeing the skills and action of the Mo family, I can't stand this kind of procrastinating person, think about how much they should be annoyed by me at the beginning?

I was a little weak-hearted, and glanced at Achuan Xiaoqi a few times, they all had no expression, obviously they didn't think as much as I did, and it was finally quiet behind me, only the camel bell sounded all over the world, and it was like a guiding light in the silence.

Walking like this, I feel that my body is unstable, the slightest hot wind blows, and I only feel that my trachea is dry when I inhale it into my lungs, but fortunately the headscarf is wrapped tightly, otherwise the hot sun shines on the top of my head, and I am afraid that I will lose a few layers of skin.

The sand quickly turned from cold to hot, like walking on a red-baked iron plate, at first glance it looks like you are on the beach by the sea, but here there are only endless sand dunes that stretch to the horizon, and there is no end to it.

The heat penetrates from the soles of my shoes to the soles of my feet, I can feel that my shoes are full of sweat, we are wearing the lightest and most breathable shoes, but now they are also like stuffy in a steamer, fortunately, I have experienced more adventures, the calluses under my feet are thicker and thicker every time, now it is not so uncomfortable, I glanced back, Professor Zhang walked straight with his waist board, and the students behind him were like wilted cabbages, and they looked listless before they had gone far.

Ah Chuan and Xiao Qi never looked back, their minds were not on the archaeological team at all, our main task was to meet the advance troops, the water and resources we brought were far more than the amount of nine people, especially medicines, which were not needed at all, these were prepared for Uncle Yuan and them.

The path Achuan chose was at the bottom of the dunes, not that the sand below was thin, but that the sun had not yet risen overhead, and there was still a little shade below, but unfortunately it didn't last long, and I could already see the sun's rays passing overhead.

There is really nothing to see in front of me, I walked with my head down, thinking of something else in my head, and I didn't feel too tired, my physical fitness was much better than before, and there was no sound behind me, and I looked back once in a while, only to see those students walking vainly, looking like they were going to fall down at any time.

Since they didn't say anything, then we didn't have to care, and my mind was not on them, we walked for at least two or three hours, and the sweat was quickly dried, and the feeling of dry mouth became heavier and heavier.

The sound of drinking water sounded behind him from time to time, and Ah Chuan didn't say anything, and I looked back again, and the oasis had long since disappeared, and there was a sea of sand in front and back.

Our pace was not slow, but the environment was much the same, as if we had been walking in place for about two hours, and when the sun rose in the middle, Ah Chuan pulled the camel caravan under a large towering sand dune and said, "Take a break." ”

We went to the bucket one by one to catch water and drink water, those students were also honest, did not dare to waste, they took out the alcohol pot to cook some noodles, but also boiled freeze-dried vegetables, one person and one bowl silently eat, we are not very hungry, one person nibbled some compressed beef, in this environment, even if you are hungry, there is no appetite, the weather is hot, and people can't eat.

"Mr. Mo, I wonder how many days we have to go?" Professor Zhang's spirits seemed to be much better than that of his students, who were still able to straighten up when they sat on the sand, and those students had already slanted crookedly.

"Four and a half days, if it goes well." Achuan said.

Professor Zhang didn't ask again, a trace of fatigue flowed in his eyes, and he turned his head to look at his students, in fact, this journey was not as long as I thought, but I had to rest at night, which occupied most of the time.

"Ah Chuan, Uncle Yuan, they also rest at night?" I asked softly.

"No, they have to travel day and night, there is no hurry in time, but the materials must be saved, the faster the better, the supplies we brought are enough for fifteen people to go back and forth, they only brought a one-to-one weight in order to hurry, if they are delayed in the ruins for a long time, they can only rely on us to come back."

Ah Chuan whispered, his eyes were covered with a layer of worry, even if the situation was difficult, he never showed a worried look, the situation in the ruins must be very dangerous.

I can't help but worry, Uncle Yuan is not familiar with it in the end, all he thinks about is Brother Shen and Nineteen, and that fake Ah Chuan, we have never seen any trace of them, they will definitely not let go of this opportunity, and they don't know where to hide.

I hope everything goes well, we rested for more than ten minutes Ah Chuan stood up, pulled the head of the camel and made a crisp camel bell, those students lying in the sand opened their eyes, one by one lazy, humming and chirping unwilling to get up.

Ah Chuan looked at them with a smile, gloomy and compassionate, I thought he would kick them up in the next second, but he didn't move, just watched silently, Professor Zhang moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, and saw Ah Chuan's smiling face again, he held back and hurriedly urged those students to get up.

Behind him were all whispered complaints, but Ah Chuan walked calmly, the contrast between the front and back was terrifying, and now he was like pretending to be an old horse for the first time, first pretending to be a good person, and then really taking them to a place where they couldn't turn back, so he didn't bother to pretend, and it is estimated that Professor Zhang was also wondering in his heart.

Climbed over a sand dune again, all the complaints behind them were gone, they were not stupid, they knew that it was useless to talk more, but the footsteps became dragged, many people couldn't even lift their feet, they could only drag and walk, swaying, and those who didn't know thought it was a zombie entering the city.

In the afternoon, the wind became stronger, and the hot wind blew our clothes and headscarves flying, and layers of sand swept along with the wind, constantly beating on the dunes, and in a short time a layer of yellow sand accumulated in the folds of our clothes and ankles.

I looked up at the sky, it was not as clear as in the morning, it was like a yellow veil, the sun was not so hot, but more sultry, the air was like a steamer with sand, and we were struggling to walk against the wind.

"Mr. Mo, why did the weather suddenly become like this, is there a sandstorm?" Professor Zhang shouted, and the sound drifted into the distance with the wind, falling into our ears and barely audible.

"No, let's go quickly, even if there is a sandstorm, there is no way to hide here, let's go to the nearest Devil's City first." Ah Chuan's voice was still very calm.

"Damn/, what a." Lao Huang scolded angrily behind his back.

I didn't go side by side with Ah Chuan anymore, I walked behind him, pulling the cowhide belt on the camel's body, there was a tall camel in the way, and the wind and sand were much less, but I still had to shake my clothes from time to time, and the sand accumulated more and sank very much.

After we walked for more than an hour, I felt that the wind had become lighter, and the sun had once again shown its face, and it did not seem to be a sandstorm, and I did not understand why there was a sudden strong wind, and now I could not help but feel that I would have the aftermath of the catastrophe.

"Good luck." Ah Chuan muttered in a low voice, but there was no joy or anger in his voice.

We kept moving forward against the wind, and had to climb over one sand dune after another, stepping on the slippery sand, walking one step and half a step back, like climbing a snowy mountain, but one was hot and the other was cold, but fortunately there were no holes under the sand.

We had just climbed to the top of a slope when we heard an exclamation behind us, and saw a student at his feet, and he slid down with the rolling yellow sand, stirring up a cloud of sand mist.

There were no boulders here, and the sand was thick enough not to fall to death, so Achuan watched him slide down until he stopped at the bottom of the dune.

"Wang Ze, are you okay?" Professor Zhang shouted from afar.

"It's okay," the student smirked afar as he got up, plopping himself on the sand, "and it's going to be easy to get down this way." ”

"Really?" The students screamed, and they all slid down in his lead, laughing quite merrily.

"I'm still in the mood to play, and I don't seem tired at all." Ah Chuan said faintly, I hit a spirit, this guy doesn't know what bad idea he is playing.

This is just a small episode, more of the journey is still boring, they say that it is labor-saving, and they don't use it anymore, it will definitely save effort when they slide down, but it is not so comfortable to eat a mouthful of sand, this Professor Zhang is too, and they are used to it at a glance, what kind of team can they test.
