Drifting Sand in the West Chapter 38 Avalanche 1

Because of Brother Li's previous fall, we were extra careful when going down the mountain. Before each step, poke a hole in the snow with a cane, if it is strong underneath, it means that you can safely step over, and if it is soft, you can take a detour.

Although the descent was less physically demanding, we still walked for three hours. By the time we reached the foot of the mountain, it was already dark, so we chose to camp under a big rock, the cannon and I unloaded the supplies on the camels' backs, and Li Tong and Li Ge Zhang Luo set up tents. From time to time, a simple tent has been erected.

There was nothing to live in the snow, so after packing the supplies and feeding the camels, everyone sat in the tent and ate something. Even though it was sheltered from the wind, it was surrounded by snow and ice, and the camels were crying from the cold.

After a day of walking, everyone felt tired and in urgent need of rest. Of course, no vigil was arranged. So, nothing was heard on this page except the wind outside, and the occasional sound of camels. After a night of silence, the next day I was awakened by a noise outside, and I opened the tent to see the other three standing outside.

I asked sleepily, "What's going on?" Brother Li said in a deep voice: "Four camels were frozen to death. I was astonished and dressed myself, and when I came out of the tent I found two camels lying on the ground.

On the ground, four camels were already lying on the ground, a sad heart, close to a month of time together, although they could not speak in words, but they became our partners. Watching these four camel companions fall, we have mixed feelings.

"These camels are with us these days, and if they didn't bring us supplies, we wouldn't have been able to get out of the Taklamakan Desert so easily." Li Tong stood in front of the camel with a burst of sentimentality.

"Well, let's find a place to bury them." I proposed, breaking ah, and they didn't object. There was a big pit in front of the big rock, and the four of us carried the legs of the camels to the nearby big pit, and then covered it with some earth, which was a simple grave.

Originally, our supplies were already overweight, and the camels carried us a lot along the way. But now that the four camels have froze to death, we have more to carry. Looking at the large pile of things outside the tent, everyone was worried for a while.

"Everyone threw away all the useless things, leaving only some important food and climbing equipment, and throwing away the rest." Brother Li said decisively. When Brother Li said this, it reminded us. So we brought enough food and things like skates and flying tiger claws for hiking, and I took out my belt from my backpack that I hadn't used for a long time, put a dagger and other equipment in it, and threw the rest in place.

After some tidying, the backpack became dead and heavy. But this is already the result of throwing away a lot of things. After tidying up the things, Brother Li and I packed the tent and ate a canned beef by the way. Taking advantage of everyone's rest, I took out the locator and the map from my backpack, compared the two, and found that there was a Borilang Everest with an altitude of 7,000 meters in front of us. At the same time, judging from Li Tong's human skin map, we are only three or four days away from the ruins of the ancient city of Xiye.

After everyone had breakfast, we continued to walk forward. It had snowed all night, and at last it had stopped in the morning, and I had been devastated by the fact that the camels had frozen to death, and now I realized that we were surrounded by high mountains, which were like huge beasts.

Walking along the mountain road towards the valley mouth on the opposite side, the huge valley became surprisingly quiet at the moment. Probably due to the loss of camels and the fact that they are located in the mountains, everyone's mood is always very low. After walking for about two hours, I finally walked out of the valley. Beyond the valley is a cliff, and we need to continue from the trail on the left side of the valley.

Suddenly there was a light in front of me, I spread a piece of brown paper on the snow, and everyone rested on the ground for a few minutes, and by the way, we also had something to replenish our strength.

"Hey, we're out." The cannon finally couldn't bear the loneliness and yelled at the valley a few times. This product is really energetic.

"Boom ....."

I heard a muffled sound in the valley, like something rolling. A premonition of uneasiness immediately caused me to get up from the ground, and I immediately ran to a nearby boulder. I saw a stir in the depths of the valley, and suddenly I felt the ground shake, like a beast running out of it.

"What's in there?" I wondered. The cannon also ran to the rocks and looked in the direction of the valley. Soon, as the rumbling grew louder, the vibration became more and more intense.

"Is it an avalanche?" I subconsciously shouted, "It's an avalanche." Li Tong and Brother Li heard us talking, and hurriedly packed up their things from the ground and ran to the mountain road on the left. The cannon and I didn't fall, we got down from the big rock, and ran in the direction of Brother Li and them.

Just as the cannon and I ran past, the ground shook, and the snow and mud on the ground were squeezed off the cliff, and in less than a few minutes, a steady stream of snow poured in front of us and fell off the cliff.

"Damn, I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing." The cannon said in horror. I angrily stepped forward and yelled, "What are you doing in the valley, don't you die?" This avalanche is what you kid roared at. ”

The cannon didn't change his mind, "I didn't expect me to be so capable." When I heard this, I was anxious: "Do you want us to be buried with you?" You will die alone, and do not harm us. When he finished saying this, he suddenly realized that what he said was a little excessive.

However, if the cannon doesn't give him a little color, he doesn't know how to repent, and in the end, I am also for his good. In fact, there is nothing wrong with him, but he does things with his brain.

Brother Li stepped forward and persuaded: "Xiao Ling, it's okay, the cannon is also unintentional." "Actually, I don't have a deep grudge against this thing, and today I say that he is completely for his good. Since Brother Li said so, I didn't continue to teach him a lesson, and walked in front alone.

But just as we were moving on, snow flakes fell from the cliff face in front of us. "Is it going to be an avalanche again?" It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave. I subconsciously shouted, "Everyone, run." He didn't care about anything at the moment, just spread out and ran forward, and slowly the snow flakes were gradually replaced by fist-sized snowballs. If you hit it with something on your back, you will find a hole.
