Desert Lonely Lamp Chapter 15 The Legend of the Magic Lamp (Part II)
"If you walk on flat ground, you should be able to walk dozens of kilometers in half a day, but in the special surface of the desert and the weight it carries is too much, and it is only less than ten kilometers after half a day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Seeing that the noon sun had climbed to the top of his head, and the hot sun was shining directly on his neck, which made people feel hot and itchy, and it should have reached the time agreed before, the old man touched his hot neck, and beckoned everyone to turn around the camel team and prepare to leave.
Of course, a few young people don't want to go home empty-handed, so they have to make everyone laugh at going back like this, but if they go deeper into the desert, the water source they bring will definitely not be able to support it, and they all know that if they go on aimlessly, it will be impossible to find half a piece of gold after a few days, but no one wants to say this.
When the old man saw that the other people were silent, he beckoned the camel alone, and turned the camel caravan around, but the young man still did not speak, but let the camel caravan go back.
Originally, a few people have been smoked by the scorching sun, since they are ready to go back, then there is no need to plan to drink water, before leaving, a few people first drink a full water, although the water in the iron kettle is also baked into warm water by the sun, but at this time, it is hot water, and it is quite cool to drink it into the stomach.
The water is also drunk enough, and I don't know who shouted, the camel team is the start, the sun is directly above, no matter which direction you go, your neck has to be exposed to the sun, accepting the sun's scorching, a few people who have just drunk water have their stomachs full of water, and naturally there is not so much resistance to this roasting, after all, they are going home, even if they return empty-handed, thinking about lying at home is also full of yearning.
At some point, a gust of wind slowly swept through the back of the caravan, and the wind blew into the clothes of several people along the collar very interestingly, bringing a touch of coolness to several people in this sultry environment, although it was only for a few seconds, but it was already very satisfying for those who had lived in the desert for a long time.
Because there is no vegetation cover in the desert, it is normal for the wind to blow, but the wind is mostly hot wind, like the wisps of cool breeze just now, it still makes people feel very comfortable, and they don't care about the wind, a few people shout a unique horn, driving the camel to continue walking.
The sky was unconsciously cloudy, the wind gradually increased, blowing a few people in the bumps of the hunchback, drowsy, the sun is also with the cloudy sky, no longer so scorching, I feel that the temperature has dropped by more than ten degrees at once, it is already close to the midsummer season, and suddenly there is an early autumn atmosphere.
Young people are very happy with this temperature, who doesn't like to be cool? Especially in the arid inland areas, people yearn for nothing more than rain and coolness.
The old man was well-informed, had experienced strong winds and waves, and knew that when such a situation occurred in the desert, it was not simply that the sky was about to change, but that a black sandstorm was coming.
The old man didn't dare to think about the black sandstorm anymore, because in the eyes of the locals, the black sandstorm was like people living in the mountains and forests talking about tigers, it was a terrible taboo, and saying it would only make people panic. But the old man also knew that the stakes were very high, and he suddenly shouted the trumpet, and his voice was very hoarse, as if he had inhaled a large amount of yellow sand in the desert for many years, but the hoarse was hoarse, but it was very high-pitched and excited, and this sound was obviously very effective for the camel, and as soon as it came down, the camel also became excited, and the footsteps changed from walking to running.
The violent jolting turned a few drowsy young people on the hunchback's back unusually awake, they didn't know what had just happened to make the camel suddenly speed up, but with the old man's second passionate trumpet, several people seemed to have reacted to something, the old man has never liked to shout trumpets, his sudden trumpet, there must be something big about it.
Sure enough, experience is experience, it is accumulated over many years, not something that can be easily learned from books, and before the old man shouted five minutes after the trumpet, a gust of wind swept behind the camel caravan, and several people swayed on the camelback, almost unable to sit still.
The sky is getting darker and darker, it is dark, the day is like night, a few people look back, the huge wave of yellow sand has surged over, covering the sky and the sun, unstoppable, several people know what is going to happen next, quickly take out the secret mirror, cover the eyes, and then cover the mouth and nose with gauze, before the wind and sand arrive, it is the most important thing to protect your five senses.
Camels are more sensitive to black sandstorms than people, they have thick eyelashes and a unique respiratory system, of course, they don't need to protect their facial features, but the black sandstorm hits, not simply invade the five senses, a huge wave of yellow sand can easily defeat the camel team and bury them tightly under the yellow sand, in popular terms, it is buried alive.
Both humans and animals have the instinct to survive, and several people put their faces and entire upper body on the hunchback, which can reduce resistance, not only prevent being thrown off by the crazy running camel, but also indirectly help the camel to speed up.
The wind behind is already blowing stronger and stronger, and the wind speed has completely exceeded the forward speed of the camel team, and several people on the camelback no longer need to shout anything to make the camel speed up.
Somehow, the crazy camel suddenly slowed down, and finally stopped, no longer advancing, the old man said badly, knowing how dangerous the black sandstorm behind him was, but the camel was unwilling to run for his life anymore, there is only one explanation, the camel gave up, and if it ran like this, it would be buried by the yellow sand sooner or later, no matter how much effort was in vain, simply save some effort and wait for death on the spot.
The camel was reluctant to move forward, and no matter how many people kicked and beat, they were unwilling to move half a step, and finally simply lay down, allowing the yellow sand wave to hit. The old man looked at a dozen camels waiting to be killed, and now he regrets that it was too late to persuade everyone to come back earlier, the wind is getting stronger and stronger, the sky is getting darker and darker, and the wave behind him is getting closer and closer, the old man roared desperately against the wind, so that everyone quickly got off the camel's back and hid behind the camel, so that the yellow sand could cover a few people less.
Very close, several people still heard the old man's words, and rolled down from the camel's back, covered their mouths and noses, and hid behind the camel, hoping that the camel's shelter could be exchanged for a glimmer of hope for life. ”
"Whitebeard" said this, sighed, and pulled us "listening to the story" from the desert back to reality.
