Chapter 30: Extraneous Branches
We ran to the top of the sand dunes to see that Ma Liangguo had already lost his breath, but this way of death was too miserable.
A few of us carefully pulled Ma Liangguo out of the sand, but the moment his body left the sand, we were stunned to see that Ma Liangguo had a big hole in his stomach, and his intestines and internal organs flowed into a sand hole under his body.
But before we could see clearly, as Ma Liangguo's body left, the sand hole was quickly filled with the flowing sand around it, leaving only a piece of intestines still outside.
Seeing this extremely bloody scene, I felt my appetite churning, and I hurriedly turned my head, retched twice, and resisted not throwing up.
When Ma Liangping saw this scene, he cried loudly, "Brother, you died so miserably!" ”
Ziya and Aman, on the other hand, looked frightened, and the two of them underestimated something in Uyghur, and involuntarily stepped back, and looked around and under their feet vigilantly.
There is something wrong with these people, they must have provoked something!
At this time, Wen Mo took out his dagger, bent down and fiddled with the position of the sand hole just now, and picked out a blood-stained strip.
I quickly tilted my head to the side again, patted Wenmo and said, "Big brother, don't fiddle with that!" ”
Wenmo ignored my protests, "What is this?" ”
"You play slowly!" I got up and wanted to go down the dunes. Suddenly, I saw a commotion among some of Ma Liangping's camels, and they were purring at the same time, which is the kind of sound that only happens when the camels were demonstrating, and then the camels rushed into the sea and did not stop until the water reached their calves. A few camels stood in the shallow water, still looking uneasy!
Seeing this, Zia hurried down the dunes and ran to the camels. Aman also screamed and rushed down.
I didn't know if the monster that attacked Ma Liangguo was still nearby, and I had the urge to run away. I turned my head to look at Wen Mo, only to realize that what he had picked out of the sand was not the remains of a corpse, but a canvas bag.
I turned back and crouched down to take a look, and saw that the canvas bag had been stained red with blood and had been completely torn. I looked up and asked Ma Liangping, "Is this bag your brother's?" ”
Ma Liangping, who was crying, looked at the cloth bag intently, suddenly opened his eyes wide with grief and indignation, grabbed the cloth bag and looked at it, and then threw it on the ground hard, pointing at Ma Liangguo's corpse on the ground and scolding: "TM, you even want me to pit!" If you don't die, will it be like this? ”
Wen Mo and I quietly watched the performance of these people, they must have experienced something unusual, but I don't know if it will affect us.
Wen Mo squatted down, looked at Ma Liangguo's corpse carefully, used a knife to remove the clothes on his corpse's neck, and found that there was a bloody hole in his throat. Wenmo and I glanced at each other, and we both saw a little consternation in each other's eyes.
Ma Liangping wiped his tears and said to me and Wenmo: "Thank you two brothers, thank you!" With that, he picked up Ma Liangguo's body and walked under the sand dune.
I said to Ma Liangping, "How are you going to place your brother?" ”
Ma Liangping sighed, "There is no way, I can only find a place to bury him below." This time, I can't protect myself, I can't take him with me, if I can get out alive, I will come back to pick him up. ”
I felt a little strange about Ma Liangping's approach, and asked, "Don't you want to know how your brother died?" ”
Ma Liangping was suddenly silent, and after a long while, he spoke: "We thought we got rid of it, but we didn't expect it...... We brought it on ourselves! It's nothing to do with you, I thank you! Let me remind you, whatever happens on our side for a while, leave as soon as it gets daybreak! With that, he turned and left.
Wenmo and I stood on the sand dunes and watched condescendingly, while Ma Liangping dragged the body to the back of the tent and began to dig up the sand to bury Ma Guoliang's body.
Zia and Aman were standing beside the camel, checking what was on it, and they seemed nervous about what was on it, even though they were in the cold water, and they didn't care. Suddenly, I saw a canvas bag hanging from their camel, which looked like the one I had just found under Ma Liangguo's body.
Remembering the tragic situation of Ma Guoliang being broken just now, my waist couldn't help but feel numb, and I said to Wen Mo: "Let's go quickly, didn't you say that there is something under the sand?" Don't rush at the two of us for a while! ”
Wen Mo shook his head, "Probably not, that thing under the sand, it seems that the goal is very clear." ”
"Oh?" I was a little curious, "Why do you say that?" ”
Wen Mo waved his hand, "Let's go back and talk about it!" ”
We went back to the tent, and the other three sat up as soon as they saw us return.
Shi Tao hurriedly asked, "How is it?" ”
I shook my head, "Ma Liangguo is dead!" ”
"Dead!" Shi Tao: They were shocked. "How did you die?"
I told them what had happened, and the faces of several people changed.
Kong Xue was so nervous that she said, "Why is this happening? Are we in danger? ”
"It doesn't seem like so." I suddenly remembered something, so I asked Shi Tao: "Brother Tao, did you ask Uncle Dawuti what I told you?" ”
Before Shi Tao could speak, Dawut said, "Are you asking the meaning of that sentence?" ”
"Yes."
Dawut continued: "The meaning of that sentence is, 'It is for what we have in our hands.'" ’”
Listening to Dawut's words, we couldn't help frowning.
Dawut slowly lit his pipe, "In the desert, you can't touch anything casually, some belong to the devil, if you take something you shouldn't take, you will be punished!" ”
Wen Mo said: "It seems that they should have brought something out of the desert and attracted monsters in the sand!" ”
"However, if this was done by four people together, why did Ma Liangguo die first?" Kong Xue asked.
I recalled for a moment, remembered Ma Liangping's sad expression and words just now, and said: "According to my speculation, it should be Ma Liangguo who thought that they had shaken off the monster under the sand, so he wanted to leave secretly with those things at night, but I didn't expect the things under the sand to follow again." Sadly, before this Ma Liangguo could leave, he was attacked. But," I don't understand, "but what is the matter with us seeing him climb so strangely on the dunes?" ”
Wen Mo shook his head, "Actually, before that, he was already dead!" ”
