26.Sandstorm (2)
Approaching a sand dune, Chen Bing made a stop gesture backwards. He first walked up to Professor Qin and whispered to him, then walked to Sheng Shiyao to say something, and then he walked back to the front.
Sheng Shiyao stepped forward and motioned for Zhou Tong to help us get off the camel first. I helped Liu Yue above, Zhou Tong picked it up at the bottom, and after waiting for someone to send it down, he stepped on the foot, turned over, and when he landed, he didn't stand firmly, and he planted it to the side, stretched out an arm from behind, and took me into his arms.
There is no need to look back, you also know that it is Sheng Shiyao, and the familiar atmosphere is full of surroundings. After he helped me to stand up, he withdrew his hand and made a gesture, allowing Liu Yue and me to hide next to the camel to avoid the wind, while he went to the sand dunes with Zhou Tong and Liuzi to help. All the people should work together as fast as possible, using the height of the sand dunes to build a shelter from the wind.
Before leaving, Zhou Tong put all the baggage next to me, knowing that the contents of the bag could not see the light, so I helped Liu Yue to sit on the black bag. I noticed that Liu Yue was trembling and wanted to find a dress to put on her, but the bag with our clothes was still on the back of the camel, and we had to stand up to get it, but Liu Yue was unable to sit still, so I had no choice but to untie my jacket and wrap her tightly in my arms.
She opened her eyes to look at me, closed them again, and fell into a deep sleep.
The sand didn't pile up quickly, but it was quite good when it was formed, and everyone got under it, and then they stopped the three camels outside, and the wind suddenly became much lighter. Before we could bring all the baggage, the heavy rain accompanied by the strong wind invaded the desert, Zhou Tong's face sank, and he got into the rain curtain, and soon ran back, dragging the black bag in his hand. It is true that this thing cannot be left outside in the rain, otherwise it will become scrap metal when it gets wet.
The wind whistling in their ears grew louder and louder, and everyone who heard it began to wonder if the sand barrier could hold off the storm. In fact, it is not that we are worrying about the sky, but that the storm does not stop, but when it gets more and more intense, we can already perceive that the sand barrier is beginning to tremble, and it may collapse at any moment. It doesn't rain much in the desert, but when it rains heavily, it doesn't stop being a strong wind, and according to Alimu, such winds can last for a long time, even for days and nights.
Everyone looked at each other, how many days and nights have they been scraped down, can they still be intact? Now I don't expect to find the baggage that I didn't have time to pick up, and it's likely that it has been scraped to nowhere.
After a fierce wind with teeth and claws, the sand barrier began to gradually collapse, and everyone ran out, and in the next second, with a bang, all the sand barriers collapsed, and the yellow sand was blown by the wind, all of which fell on our faces. And everyone didn't care about the sand on their faces, the wind was strong enough to blow people away, and some people were accidentally swept up by the wind and flew out for a while.
Fortunately, we all gathered in a heap, and when we ran out, Sheng Shiyao pulled a camel by his side to block some of the wind. The situation is so severe that it can't be more severe, and if you stay where you are, if you don't cover it, you're waiting to be swallowed up by the storm in this desert, so we have to get out of here.
Chen Bing gestured over there, which should be the same meaning, and he couldn't speak at all at this time.
Zhou Tong wanted to help Liu Yue on the camel's back, but was stopped by Sheng Shiyao, at this time, we really can't rely on the camel to carry people, we still have to rely on it to make a living. In the end, Zhou Tong put Liu Yue on his back, and pointed to the side of Liuzi, I turned my head to look over, and found that all our burdens were still in place, piled up like a small mountain.
I gritted my teeth and ran over against the wind, but it was more than ten meters away, but because it was a headwind, I walked for a while before I arrived. When I got close to the bag, I realized that the reason why the bag was not blown away, but a very thick stick was interspersed in the middle of the bag, which had been submerged into the depths of the sand, which was equivalent to nailing the bag firmly to the ground. It must have been an emergency measure made by Zhou Tong when he ran out to get the black bag before.
Liuzi and I worked together to pick up all the bags, and when we came back, it was more relaxed. When I got to the camel, Sheng Shiyao bent down to unzip the bag and threw some heavy items out, I turned my head to look at the other people, and saw that they were also reducing their weight and throwing away everything they could.
After tidying up the baggage, Professor Qin's team was also organized, and everyone began to follow the wind and try to go with the wind. It was already dark, but the storm didn't stop, and we had to find another shelter.
I don't know how long I walked, but my feet were very heavy in the sand, and the wind next to my ears seemed to be lighter, and I no longer cried wolf. The formation has already changed to the five of us following closely behind Chen Bing and Alimu, and Professor Qin's team is some distance behind, and it is difficult to protect itself at this time, except for taking care of his own side, he has no energy to take care of others.
I only heard Alimu suddenly shout, with joy in his voice, and when I listened carefully, I realized that he seemed to be saying this, and I couldn't understand what he was shouting. But soon we understood that in front of us, we could vaguely see something standing there in the dark, quite large, more than one, but at least a hundred meters away from us.
When we got closer, we saw that there were some strange stones, which were much stronger than the sand barriers we had built, and that they were the perfect windbreakers. We found three boulders respectively, and stopped with the wind on our backs, everyone was exhausted, and they all sat down on the ground, and after Zhou Tong put Liu Yue down, he lay down directly, panting heavily.
I look at Professor Qin's team, it seems to be very unoptimistic, two of the five people are paralyzed on the ground motionless, and one person has a sprained foot, Professor Qin is old and obviously not physically exhausted. is Yang Wenhao, who looks like a weak scholar, but he is the one with the best spirit, and he can take care of others.
After inspecting the situation of everyone, I retracted my attention and found that Sheng Shiyao was staring at the stone we were leaning on, and when I got closer, I found that the stone was black, and I couldn't help but move in my heart. I have been saying that I want to find the Black Stone Forest, there are a lot of strange-shaped stones here, some are three or four meters high, and some only show a little head in the sand, will we accidentally bump into the Black Stone Forest?
Pulled down the mask covering his face, and just wanted to ask, but saw Sheng Shiyao make a silent movement, and after he glanced at me, he stood up and walked towards the boulder where Chen Bing and the three of them were hiding from the wind. I don't seem to understand the meaning of that look just now, but it should be for me to calm down and not say anything for the time being.
After a moment of his departure, I leaned back on the stone and pondered, if this was really the Black Stone Forest, then the bell fish flower should be nearby. But just experienced a storm that is not big or small, and those bell fish flowers don't know if they can still be saved. With this concern, I couldn't sit still, although people were very tired, but after seeing Liu Yue's condition go through this storm, it became bad again.
As soon as I fed her some water, I closed my eyes and fell asleep, touching her forehead and feeling a little hot. I hope to find Lingyu Flower as soon as possible and cure her snake venom. I found a flashlight in my bag, which had a range of more than 30 meters, and I could see the surrounding area of strange rocks. After a search, I didn't find any plants, and the bottom of each stone was bare, could the heart be blown by the wind and buried under the sand?
Sheng Shiyao came back after a while, and after he sat down, he leaned into my ear and said, "Pay more attention to the side of the week, and catch that Alimu if necessary." "I was shocked, and he meant...... Before I could ask in detail, I suddenly heard an exclamation from Professor Qin's side, someone jumped out of the ground, and soon heard the person shouting: "Snake! There are snakes! ”
Then there was a scream, and one of the camels, which had been prostrate on the ground, flew up and ran away. The situation was so fast that we didn't have time to react, and when we did, we saw a figure leap over the camel, and the camel spread its hooves and ran away. I can tell from that figure that it is that Alimu, remembering Sheng Shiyao's order just now, and rushed up to chase after him without thinking about it. And the camel had two other bags on it, and the clothes and belongings of the whole people were in it.
Unexpectedly, the camel ran very fast in the dark night, and for a while it could not catch up, and within a few minutes it chased it out and left the team. At this time, I was very anxious, knowing that something must have happened, Sheng Shiyao must have found out something just over to let me take Alimu if necessary, because this Alimu is the best of the three to deal with, and he is familiar with the desert area, and we have to rely on him on the way back.
Finally, the camel galloped wildly for a while and gradually slowed down, I gritted my teeth and advanced to catch up, and when I got closer, I found that Alimu was looking back, probably waiting for Chen Bing and Huang Yaocheng. When he saw me chasing after me, he was taken aback, and quickly turned around and tried to drive the camel to run again, but after a storm just now, the camel was actually very tired, and it was not so fast this time.
Seeing that he was only three or four meters away, he was about to jump over, when his right foot suddenly sank, followed by his left foot was also sinking, and he wanted to pull it out hard, but the person sank down a little more. It's not good, it's quicksand!
Alimu had a sly smile on his face, and rode his camel farther and farther, judging from the curve he walked, he must have known that there was quicksand in this place, and deliberately led me into the sand pit.
But in an instant, the sand didn't reach my thighs, and it was still sinking. Common sense tells me that I can't move at this time, and any little force will speed up the sinking speed, but I broke away from the team to chase Alimu, and no one came to save me, so I couldn't get out of this sand pit at all, and I could only hope that Sheng Shiyao or Zhou Tong would come to find me.
But as the minutes passed, my whole waist was buried under the sand, and I didn't see a single person. His heart gradually sank, and he faintly understood a fact: since Alimu would suddenly escape from difficulty, it must have been discussed with Chen Bing and them, then something else must have happened in the stone forest, Sheng Shiyao didn't have three heads and six arms, how could he take care of everything?
