The long river is gone

The camp filled with the smell of spicy smell soon sounded one after another snoring, and the snoring sound drifted far away in the vast desert, which seemed extremely incongruous. Two fake mercenaries were assigned to be on duty, and after a hasty circle around the camp, they sat on the ground, holding "Thompson", leaning on each other to rest.

I thought about it for a while, and learned from the black bull to put his coat on my head, and before I knew it, I fell asleep. Chaos and chaos, this sleep, nothing to dream.

I don't know how long it took, I faintly heard the noise around me, the words were inaudible, and I wanted to cover my ears and sleep for a while, but the voices became clearer and clearer around me, anxious with a hint of panic.

"It's broken! I'm afraid something bad has happened again! I got up one by one, the glare of the sun shook my eyes, I endured the discomfort and looked around, there were a few people lying on the ground, not yet awake, not far away the figures of Zhuozhuo, gathered together, or bowed their heads, or pointed, as if looking for something, and the noise came from there. I blinked my eyes a few times before I was able to return to normal.

"Lao Su, are you awake? Come and see, there's something fucking wrong! The black bull shouted and beckoned at me.

Gu Yixin, Sixth Master, Zhang Xuefeng, Bancuntou, Ah Biao, Hei Niu, and Gao Moli were all standing there, and I secretly said something bad in my heart, and promised to hurry over.

"Weird! It's weird! The sixth master poked the sand under his feet with his cane and muttered to himself.

Without waiting for me to ask, Gu Yixin's face was solemn, and he said to me: "Old Su, can you explain what is going on?" ”

I was confused and casually asked, "What's going on?" ”

Hei Niu swallowed his saliva and said helplessly: "Haven't you noticed anything wrong with your feelings?" No, old Su, this is not the time to joke. ”

"Who has the leisure to joke with you in the desert!" I was a little impatient, and was about to ask directly, but I had no intention of catching a glimpse of Gao Moli, he also frowned slightly, his face was puzzled, and when he met my eyes, he said two words lightly: "River." ”

These two words are like thunder in the clear sky, which makes me wake up like a dream: the endless river has disappeared out of thin air!

The place where everyone stood was the same place where the long river flowed before, which was only a few meters away from the place where we rested, and I clearly remember that it was still flowing before we fell asleep, how did we wake up and disappear? I bent down and grabbed a handful of sand under my feet, wet, and as far as I could see, there were still undulating contours like waves on the riverbank, which were the traces of the river's washing.

That's right, this is indeed where the long river flows!

I had faint sweat oozing from my forehead, and asked Gu Yixin eagerly, "How many hours have we rested?" ”

Gu Yixin replied neatly: "From the time I set up camp to the time I woke up, it was only five hours, but how could this be!" ”

I asked, "Isn't there a sentry?" And what about the two mercenaries? The whole river disappeared suddenly, and they must have heard some movement at such a close distance! ”

A guilty face on his face said, "Section Chief Su, they may ...... Probably too tired. "It turned out that after we fell asleep, the two fake mercenaries on patrol also fell asleep next to each other, until they found that something was wrong in the river and was kicked awake by Zhang Xuefeng, and they didn't know anything about what happened during this period!

"There has to be a sound when you fart, how can you say that so much water is gone? Unless you run into a ghost! Ah Biao muttered to himself.

"Where are so many ghosts? I think it's seeping into the ground, no, digging down can still dig water! As he spoke, the black bull shoveled two shovels into the sand, and indeed a pool of clear water appeared at the bottom of the pit.

Gu Yixin did not fully agree with Hei Niu's point of view, and she said in her usual slightly arrogant tone: "In desert areas, most rivers will only appear on the ground during the rainy season, and will return to the ground after the rainy season. However, even if the river is infiltrating, this speed seems a little unbelievable!

I nodded, did not speak again, but forced myself to composure myself, and carefully observed the traces on the ground around me: the sand grains showed ripples in the direction of the current, and the water in the sand pit dug by the black bull was also seeping in the direction of the upper reaches of the river.

I explained my inference to everyone, Gu Yixin nodded: "Only this explanation makes sense, then, how did this force suddenly arise?" ”

The sixth master looked up at the bright sun, and asked worriedly, "This is not an important question. Brother Su, this river is an important clue for us to find the Sand Sea Hades Palace, this ...... This is suddenly gone, what is the next road for us? ”
