Dry donkey skin beach is a famous beach in Xinjiang, and this beach is very large.

It is said that very early on, there was a lake here, what is the name of the lake, but the fifth master of the camel has forgotten, or he has never heard of it at all. Because of the beating on his grandfather's hands, this place is called Dry Donkey Skin Beach, and the lake has become a shadow and a legend. And the fifth master of the camel does not believe in legends, he only believes in one sentence: hearing is false, seeing is believing. He had been to this dry donkey skin beach more than once. Who can escape the desert in the desert? The fifth master of the camel hit the fifteenth as a camel's foot, and later mixed into a camel guest, and then became a camel handle, and the footprints stepped on in the desert in this life are afraid that they are denser than sheep dung and eggs. This beach is strange and scary. The fifth camel master remembered a sentence, it was the camel guest from Gansu who said that he would rather wade in the ninety-nine bays of the Yellow River than take a dry donkey skin beach at the west entrance. This is true, as long as you walk through the dry donkey skin beach, you will not cry for yourself to come out alive. There is no grass growing in this beach, and even sand is rare. The whole beach was like a huge donkey's skin, so smooth that it was difficult for the sand to stand on it. The wind is like an iron broom, and if you sweep it from time to time, the beach will be so clean that nothing will grow. And the strange thing is that other beaches will crack, the wind and the sun will blow, that beach is like a cracked cowhide, everywhere open mouth, this beach no, this beach you will be difficult to find a crack, it is too strong, so strong that you can't split it with a knife. Step on it, and you can hear the whole beach rattling, booming, like someone is beating a drum. The voice was deep and hoarse, like a ghost crying out in the middle of the night, and it was terrifying. People are afraid of it, not only of its voice, but also of its temperament. This beach has a temperament, people who have walked by say that this beach is a donkey's temper, the more anxious you are, the more sticky it is to you, the more thirsty you are, the more it basks you, the more tired you are, and it will change ways to make you more tired. In short, walking on this beach, you can't be in a hurry, you can't panic, and you can't lack it. If you are short of dry food and water, just wait for death, and hope that there will be something else that can save you.

It took half a month for the fifth camel master to walk this beach for the first time, when he was less than twenty, he had good physical strength, drought tolerance, and a pair of feet could catch up with a camel. The second time, it took almost a month, when he was thirty. The longest time he walked was two months, and that time he thought he would not be able to get out and would remain on the dry beach forever, and then miraculously walked out, but he paid the price, and the twelve camels and his sixteen-year-old nephew kept him in the beach, and died of thirst. Thinking about the heart of the fifth master, the heart of the camel slumped together.

This beach is a chaotic soul beach, a deadly beach, a beach that can't be walked over and can't be avoided.

Fortunately, Lao Hai'er didn't take them too deeply, and it was only half a day's journey, otherwise, the fifth camel master would have cried. When he got the direction clear, he brushed Lao Hai'er's eyelashes, you are presbyopia, you are more useless than me, is this a place to enter? Lao Hai'er seemed to understand his words, straightened his neck and roared at the yellow sand in the distance. The fifth master of the camel immediately said: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, it is a blessing to be able to come out." ”

It doesn't matter if he walks out by himself, if the two young soldiers can't come out, it will be difficult for him to explain this trip. The fifth master of the camel shouted at the camel, and looked around with wild eyes. In the desert that has been washed by the yellow sand, how can you see a human figure, and you can't even see a real thing. Except for the sand, it is a death-like emptiness.

Later, the fifth camel master took the seven-peaked camel and went out of the dry donkey skin beach. His current direction was exactly the opposite of the direction he had left the Seven Stacks Beam and went on the road, a diagonal line, that is, he was farther away from the camp than he was before he went on the road.

This is the desert, sometimes you walk for ten days and a half months, you have suffered a lot, and when you look back, it is better not to go. But no one chooses not to go, you just have been taking detours all your life, and you have to go back. Not leaving? What do you do in the desert without walking?

The fifth master smiled, he could still laugh at this time. What if you can't laugh? The fifth master suddenly felt that he was very profound, even more profound than Luo Zhengxiong and Yu Hai.

Thinking of Luo Zhengxiong, the heart of the fifth camel sank, even heavier than when the wind circle was trapped just now. This person is weird, weird, and he can't figure it out easily, and he can't figure it out. Fifth Master Camel thinks that he is a very scheming person, heavier than Yu Hai's scheming, and he sees that Yu Hai is a political commissar, who specializes in managing things in people's minds, and it is this Luo Zhengxiong who can really drill into people's minds. The fifth master of the camel has traveled all his life, life and death, and he has confidently seen many people, and he has seen through many people, this Luo Zhengxiong, he can't see through it, and he can't even see through it.

Let's talk about the compass, the fifth master firmly believes that Luo Zhengxiong knows better than anyone who stole the compass, even better than the person who stole the compass, but he pretends, there are many people who can pretend, but when it comes to his confused part, there are few, almost nothing. Why did he pretend? The fifth master didn't think about it for a long time, but he believed that he was pretending to be right. It's a complicated team, and there's everyone in it. Seeing that the fifth master of the camel is stupid all day long, he thinks a lot about this team, even more than Luo Zhengxiong. Wait, one day, something big will happen to this team, and at that time, I'm afraid that Luo Zhengxiong won't be able to deal with it.

But don't worry, the fifth master of the camel is very confident in this team, can take down Xinjiang, can clean up the rebels one by one, and drive those wolves to the ground, do you dare to say that this team is simple?

The fifth master of the camel shouted at Lao Hai'er, meaning to go faster, he was in a hurry, and he was in a hurry to find someone.

It's so hard to find someone! In the wilderness, how can there be a person! Eighty percent is to let the wind swallow it. The fifth master of the camel sat on the camel in frustration and began to resent the two soldiers. These two are useless, so that the wind swallows the small thing, and spoils the name of the fifth master of his camel. In the future, who will dare to use him? No one uses him, what else does the fifth master have to do? It's better to die!

When it was dark, he landed in a dirt enclosure, and there were many such enclosures in the desert, some of which were reserved for camel riders, and some of which were not, and what was hidden in them. Where you can and can't fall depends on your eyesight. Good eyesight, little food, poor eyesight, and losing your life.

He filled his stomach with something, fetched water, fed the camels, tied the camels one by one, and planned to pick up a pile of firewood to light a bonfire, but then he thought, forget it, a person, the seven-peaked camel, it is better to sleep quietly and quietly.

At dawn, he heard a sound, and the fifth master was so happy that he thought that the two soldiers had found him. He did see people in the thin light, but not the two soldiers, but a team of camels. It seems that he is also staying in a dirt enclosure not far ahead, and he got up and was about to go on the road. Just glanced at the camel, and the fifth camel master knew that it was Ma Laosan, a camel with a very strange temperament in the desert.

"Ma Laosan—" The fifth camel roared.

"Camel Five-" came back from there.

In this way, the two caravans greeted each other, said goodbye to each other, and then went their own way, each earning their own money. There is a rule on the camel road that two camel teams cannot be close to each other, and no matter how close the relationship is, it will not be possible. One is afraid that you will plot against you, and the other is that you will not let outsiders know what you are carrying this trip and where you are going. Ten camels and nine ghosts, no one can figure out what wool is sold in each other's pockets. Stepping back to the earth fence, the fifth master of the camel began to untie the rope, that is, the rope tied to the camel's hooves at night, it is a thin camel hair rope, the camel does not feel when tied, there are some wind chimes tied on it, the sound is very brittle, the camel does not move, it does not make a sound, if you meet a camel thief at night, the bell will suddenly explode, will let people in a radius of dozens of miles hear.

The next day, when it was dark, the fifth master of the camel was not only depressed, but also had everything. He had decided that the two men would not return, and that unless they met another caravan, the desert would be the place where they would sleep for the rest of their lives. A person is most afraid of losing his companion in the desert, this is not a good sign, the fifth master of the camel thought, and a layer of sadness surged in his heart again. sighed at the west sky, and sighed again, and there were tears in the eyes of the fifth master. The night had been quite long, and he could barely close his eyes, and his ears were attentive to the movements around him, but unfortunately, he paid no attention to anything.

The miracle happened at dawn on this day, when he was about to go on the road, the fifth camel master was glad that he had a good camel, yes, in the desert, having a good camel is more important than anything else. When the fifth master of the camel packed up his things and shouted at the camel to get out of the enclosure, Lao Hai'er suddenly pricked up his ears and listened vigilantly to the surroundings, listening and listening, Lao Hai'er was uneasy, this old baby, if it was uneasy, the expression was very scary. The fifth master asked, "You old egg, what's wrong?" Lao Hai'er snorted suddenly, broke free from the reins, and didn't care what he was carrying, he threw off his hooves and ran. At that moment, the fifth camel's heart came down, he couldn't take care of other camels, he ran with Lao Hai'er, and shouted in his heart as he ran, old Dandan, you can coax me.

They ran for a full hour, and ran more than they would normally have walked in two hours. In front of a large red willow bush, Lao Hai'er suddenly stopped his steps, and then kept snorting, and a large cloud of powdery stuff sprayed out of its nostrils and sprayed on the red willow bush in the early morning. The fifth camel master glanced into the red willow bushes, oh my God, people, the fifth camel master saw people.

First the older one, and then the fifth master saw the younger one, the one he called a small pimple all the way, his face was covered with blood, and he fell under the ridge like he died. The fifth master of the camel ran over, touched his face, his snort was very stiff, almost out of breath, and touched his heart again, and found that it was still hot, and the fifth master of the camel knew that he was not dead and could still be saved.

These two fateful ones were actually tricked by the wind circle! According to the words of the fifth master of the camel, it is to encounter the wind demon. The wind demon is actually a kind of wind, but the five masters don't call it wind, they call it a demon. It's rare, but if you do, you're going to die. It's not to scrape it to death, it's to die.

The wind demon is actually a kind of illusion, in the huge wind, the human mind has no effect, except fear, you have nothing. If the fear goes too far, the wind demon appears. In the darkness, you will suddenly see a clear sun, the sun is bright, when the head shines down, the surrounding area is clear, you can see the blue sky, you can see the flowers and plants, and even see a large area of fresh and tender green, that scene can be beautiful to death. At this time, you will involuntarily jump off the camel, will throw off your legs and run into the green, you run and run, the tender green can be seen, but you can never touch it, in fact, you have been fascinated by the wind demon, that green does not exist at all, that is just your illusion.

When the two young soldiers awoke one after the other, they let out the same dream, green, green—it was another day's twilight, and they had been asleep on their camels for nearly two days and one night. Thankfully, they managed to pull through. The fifth master of the camel was so happy to drink the camel at the moment, so he found a nearby earthen fence and lit a fire to cook, and he wanted to cook a good meal for the two big ones.

After eating and drinking, the two of them told the encounter, and the fifth master of the camel said with a smile: "Big, you two are really fateful, it is a miracle that you can escape from the hands of the wind demon." The three of them sat around the campfire and fell asleep after a while. The fifth master said: "Sleep peacefully, slow down your spirits, and you have to hurry." "The fifth master of the camel estimated that if there were no more accidents, he should be able to reach Honghaizi in three or five days. Alas, this road is tossed and turned, and it is all wronged.

Maybe it was a resurrection from the dead, the two soldiers slept very soundly, and maybe the reunion was too happy, and the fifth master of the camel actually slept really. Therefore, none of the three of them was aware of the impending disaster.

When the wind chimes rang, the camel woke up from the dream, opened his eyes and saw that the surroundings were cloudy, and there was nothing abnormal, the sky had just spit out a star bright, and the darkness was preventing the arrival of the day in a more violent way, this was the time when people and camels were the heaviest sleepy, and it was also the time when the reaction was the most sluggish. The fifth master of the camel didn't dare to snooze, and it was impossible for Lao Hai'er to ring the bell in a daze. He felt out of the dirt sirf, watched quietly for a while, and was about to turn around and come back, when something suddenly jumped into his eyes.

It's so stealthy! With their stealth in the desert alone, you can guess how good these people are! In the narration with Luo Zhengxiong and Yu Hai, the fifth master couldn't help but praise this mysterious black-clothed person, which shows how deeply impressed the black-clothed man was on that morning.

Five black-clothed people forced towards Tuweizi in five directions, just forming an encirclement, this is the "black wolf" that makes the camel man frightened, a mysterious force in the desert, some people say they are ** people, some people say they were originally robbers, a group of vampires who specialize in killing people and making money. The fifth master of the camel secretly screamed badly, quickly turned back to the earth fence, and untied the rope tied to the camel's hooves in three or two clicks, at this time the strength of the person is very small, whether he can escape this catastrophe, the key depends on the camel. As long as he is targeted by the black wolf and wants to get out alive, the hope is so small that no one dares to hold it. With great uneasiness, the fifth master of the camel struggled to wake up the two young people, and the two of them slept so deeply that they could smash their heads on the legs of the fifth master of the camel and then fall asleep. The fifth master of the camel is angry, he can still fall asleep at this time, he just wants to sleep in the palace of the king of Hades! Snapping twice, two heavy mouths slapped into the face, and the younger one woke up, but waking up was worse than not waking up. At this moment, the man in black had already touched it, less than twenty steps away from Tuweizi, and the head camel Lao Hai'er was already in a counterattack posture, his eyes quietly staring at the man in black who was in the lead, motionless. Summoned as a small pimple, he rubbed his eyes, yawned and asked, "So early?" ”

"There's a situation, get up quickly!" The fifth camel master didn't bother to tell them more, the water bladder and food were all in the earthen fence, so he was able to put the water bladder on the hump as quickly as possible. Otherwise, when the camel will run wildly, these things will have to be thrown here. Just when the fifth master of the camel had just thrown the first water bladder on Lao Hai'er, the gunshot rang out!

It's a typical hustle and bustle! The sleepy-eyed young soldier named Little Pimple ran out of the earthen enclosure with his gun, and as soon as he reached the edge of the earthen enclosure, he saw five black shadows outflanking this side at an unimaginable speed. At that time, he was frightened, because he knew that these five black shadows were none other than the reactionary forces of **, and so far, their ambitions for independence were not dead, and they had to resist stubbornly and try to drive the 100,000-strong army out of Xinjiang. He barely hesitated, and shouted at the black shadow: "We are the Chinese People's Liberation Army, I order you to retreat immediately." Then he raised his gun and shot twice into the sky. He thought that this would stop the other party from rushing over, but he didn't think that these two shots did not scare the man in black, but they frightened the camel. It is the two camels sent by the Qiduoer people, the camels of the fifth master of the camel will not be afraid of the sound of gunfire, but the camels of Qiduoer are different, they are domestic camels rarely hear the sound of gunshots, as soon as the guns sound, they are startled, raise their hooves and run around without direction. This scene shocked the fifth master of the camel, and also shocked the man in black, the man in black didn't react at first, and laughed when he figured it out. Because they saw clearly that this was the camel they were looking for, the camel that fetched water for Honghaizi, and they would not allow the water to be transported to Honghaizi again, and they would die of thirst!

The two young soldiers, who were so inexperienced, actually ran to a camel in order to chase the frightened camel back. Before he could shout, the man in black had already divided into three groups, two of which pounced on the two young soldiers, and the leader pounced on him with oblique stabs. The fifth master of the camel no longer dared to slack off, and jumped on the old sea and rushed.

A vicious fight was staged in the desert, except for the fifth camel master and Lao Hai'er who escaped by luck, the two young soldiers and the six-peaked camel all became sacrifices of the man in black......

It can be concluded that the black-clothed people came specifically to the Special Second Regiment, and the purpose was to trap the Special Second Regiment in Honghaizi. After listening to the account of the fifth master, Luo Zhengxiong and Yu Hai both fell into deep thought, although the loss of two comrades-in-arms is sad, but in the face of the terrorist attack of the ** elements, the survival of the special second regiment will be more dangerous. Somehow, Luo Zhengxiong suddenly associated the camel team of the leader Azibayi with the man in black, and the ** elements made trouble in the territory, all of which were secretly colluded with some royal families. What's bad is that there is no news from the scout Qi Shun so far, and now the black storm is coming, although the water problem is solved, but a series of predicaments inside and outside really make Luo Zhengxiong dare not relax.

The two discussed, and decided to send scout Xiao Lin to sneak back to the division headquarters again, the problem of the man in black should not be underestimated, if the ** elements really want to make trouble in the desert, they must find a way to eradicate it, this situation must be reported to the division headquarters as soon as possible, otherwise, the actions of the entire corps will be trapped by it. Saying nothing can not let this stubborn force run rampant in Xinjiang again, it must be given the most fatal blow, Luo Zhengxiong said to Kobayashi again. At the same time, Luo Zhengxiong wanted two people to take the kelp and rush to the second group immediately, and he must bring the second group back safely before the black storm arrived.

Luo Zhengxiong is worried that the ** elements will take advantage of the black storm to attack the Special Second Regiment, and now they must prepare for the worst. This force is not trivial.
