Chapter 206: Dry Bones and Quicksand
When Qiao An was recalling the past, Zhang Xuqiu said on the side: "It's so hot now, it's not okay to stay here, it's impossible to sleep on a hot day, and I'm walking at night without energy, so it's better to finish eating now and hurry up." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Zhang Xuqiu's sentence is also very reasonable, resting in the desert during the day is also not a good rest, the heat is too hot to roast the meat, fortunately they are wearing long shirts, which can block the scorching sun, otherwise the sun will directly hit the skin, and they will have to get sunburn.
Yun Caiyao felt that what Zhang Xuqiu said was good, so she said to everyone: "Let's hurry up during the day." ”
Ah Feiba suddenly asked: "How do you investigate, I remember that the last time the scientific expedition team came, they brought some instruments." ”
Yun Caiyao smiled politely and said, "It's all a scientific thing, and you don't understand it." ”
Afiba nodded, and without further questioning, the eleven men were full of food and drink, and each of them got into his camel and went on his way.
Every step of the camel, Jin Mercury will groan, the sun makes him uncomfortable, the day before yesterday he fought with people all night, yesterday he took another day in the car, today is the camel into the desert, this toss makes Jin Mercury a little unbearable.
Fortunately, his stamina is good, and he can endure it.
When the caravan was about two hours on its way, Afiba said, "After the two dunes ahead, there is a small oasis at the other end, where you can drink more water." ”
It seems that Afiba has walked this path, otherwise he would not have known that there was an oasis.
Joan asked Afaba, "What is the road ahead of the oasis?" Afiba shook his head and said, "I have been to the oasis as far as I have been, and there are three oases near the village of Burying Wind, and this is the smallest of them, and the road is not too far, so our villagers often come here to get water." ”
As soon as Golden Mercury heard that there was an oasis in front of her, she took two large sips of water, and Joan looked at Golden Mercury and shook her head.
The two sand dunes in front of them were very tall, the sand seemed to be moving, and the sand at the top of the dunes slid down, and Afiba looked at the two dunes and said, "Let's be careful around here, there is quicksand here." ”
As for the word quicksand, Jin Mercury has only heard of it in other people's mouths, or read it in some articles, but now it is very likely that he has seen quicksand, and his heart is a little struggling.
Joan asked, "What if someone accidentally falls into the quicksand?" ”
Ah Feiba shook his head and said: "Maybe you can only wait until you die, if you have a friend next to you to help, you can still come up, but it is also possible that your friend will be buried in the quicksand, because the suction in the quicksand is too great." ”
Joan swallowed a mouthful of spit and said, "Is there no way to escape from the quicksand?" ”
"Absolutely." Xia Solstice said on the side.
Afiba wondered how a person could escape from quicksand if he got caught in it. He couldn't help but ask: "Are you lying to people, how can people themselves come out of the quicksand." ”
Xia Zhi glared at the dead fish and said, "I have been trapped in quicksand and swamps before, but you see that I am not riding a camel here." ”
"What if you get trapped." As if discovering a new world, Ah Feiba interrogated Xia Zhi, and Xia Zhi replied: "Fall into quicksand, try to relax your nerves and emotions, don't struggle casually, because quicksand will not easily trap people in it, do this, you can tentatively lift one leg back slowly, you must be slow, not in a hurry, when the leg can lift out of the sand, you have to float forward like swimming, or crawl forward." ”
"What is creeping forward?" Afiba didn't seem to have heard of the word creeping forward.
Qiao An raised his thumb towards Xia Solstice and said, "But it's really yours, crawling forward is to move forward on your stomach, and your body is evenly subjected to gravity horizontally, and you can escape from the quicksand." ”
Afiba listened to Joan's explanation, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Golden Mercury listened to them with some disapproval, and when they walked to a sand dune, they only saw half a white bone suspended in the sand near the dune.
There was no carrion on the white bones, it seemed to have been sunburned, and from the shape of the white bones, it seemed that it was trapped in quicksand and could not get out, and after a long time, the flesh on the body was sunburned by the sun and became a dry bone.
Jin Mercury swallowed and said, "Why are there outsiders entering here?" ”
Afba looked at the white skeleton and said, "This is probably the body of someone from our village, about three years ago, the Humeng brothers from the neighbor's family went to fetch water, and then they disappeared and came back. ”
Joan shook her head and said, "It seems that this desert is really a cannibalistic land." As soon as his words fell, he saw that the white bones suddenly sank, as if something was dragging the white bones in the sand.
Seeing this, Afba shouted, "Not good. ”
Seeing that the situation had changed, Yun Caiyao hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and move forward." When he spoke, it was too late, and he saw a stream of sand coming towards their herd.
Jin Mercury was shocked, and he didn't know what to do, he hurriedly waved his whip and let the camel run forward, and the sand stream suddenly attacked in the direction of the driver Xiao Li's camel, one of the camel's legs sank, the camel struggled, Xiao Li was thrown out by the camel, and as soon as he landed, he saw the sand flow quickly moving in the direction of Xiao Li.
Xiao Li stepped on the sand with his feet, and he wanted to exert himself, but he thought that as soon as he used his feet, he fell in, and Ah Feiba shouted: "That place is quicksand." ”
When people really fall into the quicksand, there are a few people who can be as calm as the summer solstice, Xiao Li struggled in the quicksand, and his two hands fluttered desperately.
The sand stream suddenly crashed into Xiao Li, Xiao Li's whole body was suddenly submerged in, only one head was on top of the quicksand, he suddenly grinned and shouted a few times heartbreakingly: "Ah, ah." ”
Xia Zhi looked at Xiao Li's facial expression, and said secretly in his heart: "Xiao Li is afraid that there is less luck, and there seems to be something in the quicksand." ”
Xiao Li struggled to make the last "ah", and his head was also trapped.
Yun Caiyao saw that Xiao Li was not saved, so she looked at the camel that fell into the sand, it seemed that the camel was also not saved, the things in the sand were extremely powerful, and a huge camel was pulled into the sand in a few clicks.
Yun Caiyao hurriedly rode a camel and took out the dagger on his waist, cut the rope on the camel, and then fixed his eyes on the sand stream coming in his direction.
Yun Caiyao's face remained unchanged at this time, and he used a dagger to cut the rope on the camel's body, so that his camel was separated from other camels.
Just when the quicksand reached the foot of the camel, Yun Caiyao jumped on the camel and avoided the sandflow.
Qiao An looked at Yun Caiyao's movements, very sophisticated, and secretly surprised in her heart, this Yun Caiyao may be a hidden guy. (To be continued.) )
