After all, they slept in the village, and they were afraid that the villagers would say that they were lazy, so the next morning, the two got up early.

After Wang Shan got up, he put on a tunic jacket and went to the public toilet in the courtyard of the village department. Yang Liufang wore a vest and washed with the toothpaste and toothbrush he carried as usual. The two were busy with their own work, and the mothers-in-law and women in the village had already arrived in groups of three or five to the courtyard of the village department.

Just in time for Wang Shan to come out of the public toilet with his pants up, some people were so startled that they hurriedly covered their faces and ran out. Wang Shan was also embarrassed, turned his head and ran into the toilet again, and came out after tidying up. Yang Liufang also put down the water glass, the toothbrush was still in his mouth, and he went to put on his coat with a mouth full of foam.

"Yikes! Why don't you wear clothes? ”

"It's worn, it's not a garment. Why did you come so early? ”

"The village chief asked me to do it!"

"Yes." ....

Everyone was gossiping, Wang Shan went to wash his hands, and was about to greet everyone, when the village chief came. Wang Shan went to the village chief to give a cigarette, and the village chief took it and said to everyone: "Efo (I said), let the two babies wash up for a while, don't panic first, there are all of them!"

The village chief really has prestige, and everyone is no longer heckling. After the two of them finished washing up with peace of mind, the village chief instructed the two to move out a long table and two chairs, and the department store sales officially began.

Young aunts and women quickly bought the remaining 7 sets of toothpaste and toothbrushes, Yang Liufang and the original idea to take "buy toothpaste and toothbrush to send two needles", everyone saw that this saved the money to buy needles, and they could get needles for free, some people who wanted to buy needles had to buy toothpaste and toothbrushes, and those who did not grab let Wang Shan register, although they did not get the goods, they also sent the needles. Promise everyone toothpaste and toothbrush to bring back to you next time. At the same time, more than 30 households in need of soap have also registered their names. It's just that when it comes to receiving a deposit, everyone is a little hesitant.

Wang Shan looked at the village chief, and the village chief said, "Fan (count), Fan (count)!" Efo (I said) don't pay the deposit, and the babies get the goods back, and Emeng (we) can't do without! ”

"That's it. That's ......," everyone agreed.

Finally, because the needles and threads were sold in bulk and participated in the "buy toothpaste and toothbrush giveaway" activity, there were a lot of large needles left, and all the small needles were sold out, and all the threads were sold out. Those who didn't buy needlework were also registered, and everyone gradually dispersed. Seeing that it was still early at noon, Wang Shan and Yang Liufang said goodbye to the village chief. Before leaving, Wang Shan gave the remaining half pack of cigarettes to the village chief.

The two drove the carriage to start the return journey, out of the Forgetful River, along the Yangguan Ancient Road around the Red Clay Village, it was already close to noon, along the way cool breeze, but the sky was a little dark, and the sun was not very strong. Because I didn't eat breakfast, I can't go to the village or the back of the store, I am already hungry, and I was just about to stop to eat some pot helmets brought by my mother, but the wind gradually became stronger, and the sky became darker and darker.

"Crooked sun, you won't encounter a demon wind, right?" Wang Shan looked at the sky and said to himself.

"Third brother, do you see a city wall in the distance?" Yang Liu rushed to the northwest and said in surprise.

"It's broken!" I only heard Wang Shan shouting, with fear in his voice, and with a whip of "snap", the horse-drawn cart also ran. "Quick, brother, go to the tree in front of us......"

Yang Liufang saw that a few hundred meters in front of him, there were two beheaded willows, Wang Shan threw a horsewhip into the air again, and there was another whip sound, "Drive!" Wang Shan shouted loudly, and the horse's four hooves increased their speed, from "poof" to "poof".

The carriage seemed to be about to fall apart as the loess road rose and fell. Yang Liufang grabbed the car gang and looked at the wall in the northwest that was rushing towards them in the shade of the sky. At this time, the wind is stronger, and the air is somewhat oppressive and full of earthy smell. Before the carriage reached the tree, the wind carried the sand and dust, engulfing them in an instant. Yang Liu Fang just wanted to speak, the suffocating pungent dust instantly invaded his mouth and nose, and then he coughed loudly, because he couldn't open his mouth, his lungs hurt, and the sand and stone particles in the sand and dust hit his face and hurt.

As soon as they reached the bottom of the tree, the horses were frightened and wanted to continue to rush forward. Wang Shan struggled to hold on to the reins, and the horse's front hooves were raised, and he neighed before stopping. Yang Liufang was so frightened that he grabbed the car gang with one hand and grabbed the car with the other hand.

"Quick... Ahem... Come down, bro... Ahem..."Wang Shan coughed and hurriedly shouted to Yang Liufang to get out of the car, and at the same time pulled the reins of the horse on one side, so that the horse could come over with the cart. He endured the choking dust, untied the carriage, let the rear of the carriage hit the ground, and pulled the horse's head under the carriage and lay down. The car was blown by the wind and pressed on Wang Shan's head, only to listen to Wang Shan's "Ah! "A bang.

"Quick, come, lift the handlebars!" Wang Shan almost commanded, because the wind and sand choked people, the sand and stones hit his face, and he was a little painful from being pressed by the car just now, so Wang Shan's speech was short and short.

Yang Liufang was choked by the wind and sand and couldn't speak, so he hurried over, turned his face sideways, endured the whipping of the sand and stones, and lifted the carriage handle with both hands. Wang Shan took out a coiled rope from the compartment under the car, tied it to the handlebar, circled the tree three times, and then came over and wrapped it around the handlebar supported by Yang Liufang, quickly tightened the rope, and tied it to death. The carriage was fixed in this way, but it shook as the trees swayed, and the wind and sand hit the board, "brushing and brushing...... The willow branches of the chopped willows made a "woo-woo" sound under the shaking of the wind and sand. It's just that a shelter from the wind and sand is formed under the carriage.

"Get out of here!" Yang Liufang obediently let go of the handlebars and got into the space under the carriage. Wang Shan went around to the back of the car again, took the mattress that had fallen on the ground and pressed against the back of the car, returned to the bottom of the car, and hid under the carriage with Yang Liufang left and right, with the horse's head in the middle of the two. I saw Wang Shan bending over, holding up the unfolded mattress with both hands, and covering the willow square, the horse's head and himself underneath, which was relieved at this time, but the smell of the horse's breath was particularly unpleasant, but it was better than choking people in the wind and sand and slapping people in the face.

After a period of intense busyness, coupled with the heat of the three people's breathing, the heat under the mattress swelled. Yang Liufang was stuffy and hot, a little nauseous, so he could only curl up his arms, cover his mouth and nose with his clothes, and breathe hard. When it was really unbearable, Yang Liufang lifted the corner of the mattress, and the strong smell of dust hit again, but it was better than smelling the smell of the horse's breath and the stuffiness. Because his mouth and nose are inside his curled elbow, he looks out sideways, and the sky and the earth are the same color as far as the eye can see, and the road surface is almost invisible.

Due to the panic and nervousness, coupled with the unpleasant smell of the horse's breath and the smell of wind and sand, Yang Liufang forgot about hunger, and when it was relieved, the hunger stimulated his taste buds. In between the horses' breathing, Yang Liufang heard Wang Shan's stomach "cooing", so he asked "whining": "Third brother, are you hungry?" ”

"Nonsense, hungry and tired, and stuffy!"

"I'm hungry too, third brother."

"When the wind stops, let's eat the pot helmet that Yinhua's mother gave us. Alas! If only there were jars, let's find firewood to boil eggs. ”

"Third brother, what kind of demon style is this? Why is it so powerful? ”

"Sandstorm."

"Ah, how long will it take?" Yang Liufang was also taken aback, it turned out that this was a sandstorm, he had only seen it in a geography book, but he didn't expect to experience it once, not only sand, but also gravel!
