Desert Lonely Lamp Chapter 16: The Legend of the Magic Lamp (Part II)
"Whitebeard" breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "This time the black sand storm came really suddenly, and the scale of the momentum is really not small, although a few people have prepared in advance, but the body of the camel is so insignificant compared to the huge yellow sand wave, like a sesame seed on the bun. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The black sandstorm had reached the top of the caravan, and everyone was silently chanting 'peace' in their hearts, and the camels seemed more calm, without a trace of roaring, but they just gave up the last struggle, leaving a little strength to wait to be buried alive.
The old man had encountered a black sandstorm before, but it had been twenty years since this black sandstorm, and he had already changed from a man in the prime of life to a gray-haired old man, but the previous black sandstorm did not seem to be as big as this time, and there were very obvious signs long before the black sandstorm hit, not like this time, it came very suddenly, and the signs came so late.
Suddenly, the old man seemed to think of something, he remembered that there was a legend in the local area, it was said that somewhere in the depths of the desert, there was a magic lamp that would never be extinguished, and the sunlight was too abundant during the day, covering all the light of the magic lamp, and only at night or when the black sandstorm appeared, the sky was dark, and the existence of the magic lamp could be found at a very close distance from the magic lamp.
The old man felt a crackling sound above his head, which was the sand grains that were blown up by the wind and smashed down on the top of his head and the secret mirror, and the surroundings were getting darker and darker, and the old man knew that it was not far from the center of the black sandstorm, maybe in a few tens of seconds or more than ten seconds, the yellow sand in the sky would bury the entire camel team, and then the yellow sand wave continued to move forward, and the place that was hit by the waves returned to calm again, and no one who entered the desert in the future would know how many people were buried in the depths of the yellow sand, let alone who these people were.
Suddenly, the old man found that a little light suddenly appeared around the dark sky, this light was very dim, and it seemed more and more blurry in the yellow sand flying in the sky, it was certain that this bright light was not starlight, because it was afternoon, and it was impossible for stars to appear in the sky. The old man couldn't believe it, but he had to accept the reality of the existence of the bright light.
Now you can only wait for death if you stand still, and it is also a death to run away from the camel team, just now that you see this mysterious light, it is better to simply pray to it, according to the older generation, this magic lamp can help people realize their wishes, if it is true, now make a wish to it, let it save its camel team and teammates, it should not be a difficult thing, right?
The old man knelt on the soft sand against the wind and sand, his hands folded, facing the bright light, and his mouth muttered all the words of prayer he could think of, and no one knew what he said, but think of those words that were nothing more than blessing a few people to live safely......"
"Whitebeard's" voice is not very good, and he breaks off again at this point, and his story is not so vivid, but the content of the story is really real and exciting, and it still attracts several of us deeply, as if we are now in the desert, and there is a wave of yellow sand overhead.
"What happened after the prayer?" Seeing that "Whitebeard" was reluctant to continue, Lu Yubo couldn't help but ask.
"After that? After that, it's gone! My second uncle and his group thought that they were going to be buried in the sea of sand and never come back, but somehow, several people were unexpectedly unconscious, and when they woke up again, they all lay on their own beds, and the family asked what was going on, the family was even more confused, only knew that several people in the camel team and a dozen camels appeared in the intestines for no reason, all of them were in a coma, and when they saw that their family members came back, they were all brought home, but how did they come back, and why did they fall into a coma, No one knows, and the memories of several people in the caravan are all gone. When the Black Sand Storm struck, no one can remember after that. "Whitebeard" said and begged me for the old white gan that he didn't want to drink just now, and took a sip to moisten his throat.
If I had heard such a story a year ago, I would have been tempted to tell "Whitebeard" that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, and that Marxist atheism is what we should learn, but in the past year, I have experienced more things, and all kinds of things that cannot be explained by science have happened one after another, and I have begun to believe in fate, which is the best proof of changing my mind.
I thought that people like Lu Yubo and Li Yong, who might have received a higher education, would scoff at such an ending, but to my surprise, after "White Beard" told all the stories, Lu Yubo actually clapped his hands and applauded, even his eyes were a little "glowing", such "glow" I have seen before, that is, when Mazi heard that there may be gold, silver and jewelry in front, this kind of light is a curious light, a greedy light, if the said thing can't penetrate the deepest part of your heart, can't enter your heart, The eyes don't emit such light, and I probably understand why Lu Yubo has this situation - the story told by "Whitebeard" further confirms the possibility of the existence of the magic lamp, although no one knows whether it was the magic lamp that saved the camel cara, but after all, there has been such a legend in the local area, and the camel team was also saved by virtue of the way that ordinary people can't explain, all kinds of associations together, it seems that the existence of this magic lamp can be confirmed, and further, it seems that he has seen his "Pingping" It's been back in general.
Sure enough, Lu Yubo's question came again: "Does that mean that the camel team was saved by the magic lamp?" ”
"Whitebeard" took a sip of wine, his throat moistened a lot, and he even showed a smile that he had never seen before: "How do I know this, I listened to my second uncle tell me, and he didn't know how he came back at that time, and when this matter came to me, I don't know what the situation is!" ”
"Whitebeard" said this, I saw that the light in Lu Yubo's eyes dimmed significantly, I patted him on the shoulder and said: "I think this magic lamp should exist, don't think about it so much now, take one step at a time, it's up to man!" ”
Lu Yubo glanced up at me, his lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he wanted to say something, he stopped talking, lowered his head, paused for a while, and suddenly muttered thoughtfully: "It seems that the little rice ball should eat" Brother Xu, can you come and help me feed him? ”
I've known Lu Yubo for half a month, and the first time I heard him be so polite to me, I was a little unaccustomed, but I thought about it, there will be many more times when the two of us work together in the future, and it's good to take this opportunity to win over the relationship, so as not to make him unhappy with any of us in the future, and I can also play the role of a peacemaker.
"Okay, right away!" It was appropriate for me to continue to talk with "Whitebeard" for a while, and then get more familiar with it, and left the carriage after Lu Yubo.
