Volume 1: The Mystery of Dunhuang Chapter 27 Committing a crime against the wind

"What is Captain Lou talking about, I am the village chief of Mofen Village, and I should fully support the work of the scientific expedition team."

"Captain Lou, then you are busy first, and we will go back first."

"Well, no."

Looking at the village chief's nodding and hunched appearance, and the appearance of a traitor, I can see that my heart is angry, if it was before, I would have been pulled out and killed.

When I got back, I gathered all the people I was traveling with and told them where I had gotten the news.

"I'm grass, now that I know the place, what are you waiting for, hurry up, don't be preempted by those turtle grandsons!"

Wu Fatzi jumped up as soon as he was tall, looking excited that he couldn't wait to go treasure hunting.

I shook my head and said, "No, there are a lot of us, the target is not small, and the location of the stone gate is not too far away from the group, it is easy to be discovered, and we don't know how much yellow sand the stone gate is covered with, and it is difficult to clean up." ”

"What should I do then?" Liu Tingting frowned and asked.

I turned my head to look at the old man and smiled, and then said again: "Don't worry, there are ways, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." ”

"What do you mean, Dongzi, you make it clear, what is the east wind, where does the east wind come from."

"Hehehehehe......!"

At this time, the old man on the side stroked his gray beard and laughed, and then he explained to the others what the east wind was.

In fact, on the way back, the old man and I were already worried about how to find the stone gate without knowing it.

But I never thought that it was the mercenary village chief who woke us up with a word.

At that time, the village chief looked up at the sky, and then said: The chaotic sand curtain is a sky, and the sky changes in three or five days.

At that time, I asked the village chief what he meant by this, and the village chief said that this was a proverb in the Gobi for changeable weather, that is, it would not be possible to say that there would be a sandstorm in three or five days.

Hearing the village chief say this, I remembered that Hanzi told me that he had found Shimen after a sandstorm.

This is indeed a great opportunity for God to bless, but three or five days is a bit too long, and it is very likely that something will change in such a long time.

But all the old proverbs are well-founded, and I was convinced of them, so I questioned the village chief, and asked him the specific time, whether it was three days or five people, and said that when the time came for us to leave, we must not catch up.

The village chief said this proverb, which he had been talking about since the day before yesterday, that is, the sandstorm was about to blow, either tonight or tomorrow, so if we were to leave, it was best to wait until the sandstorm had passed.

I was excited when I heard this, and the old man's eyes were shining.

I asked how long the sandstorm would take to stop, and the village chief shook his head and said that he didn't know, sometimes it would stop after an hour or two, and sometimes it would last for several days.

It is because of the mound as a barrier that Mofen Village can still exist in such a harsh environment, otherwise, it would have been buried by the yellow sand a long time ago.

After listening to the old man's explanation, everyone understood what the so-called Dongfeng was all about.

At this time, the wind was already blowing outside the house, which indicated that Sandstorm had chosen to visit Mofen Village tonight.

As soon as the wind started, everyone was eager to try their hands, and even the dogs, who had never been smiling, showed a trace of eagerness.

Finally.

At ten o'clock in the evening, after the whole village had fallen into dead silence, and before the great storm was about to come, a group of five of us quietly found out of the village and came to the place that Hanzi pointed out to me.

At this moment, the position of the five of us was on the other side of the mound, separated from the Momound Village, and we were also exposed to the storm at a glance.

The fellows from the expedition team were on the same side as us, but because the mound was so large that it was about to be a mountain, there was at least a kilometer between us.

In this extreme weather, those people must have already taken refuge in tents, and no one would venture out at all, so we don't need to be too cautious, and we can do it drastically.

The wind and sand were getting stronger and stronger, and people couldn't open their eyes, but fortunately, we prepared in advance and set up the only tent.

The tent was erected and all five of us were squeezed in, on the one hand, to protect against the wind and sand, and on the other hand, with the weight of the five of us, the tent would not be blown away by the strong wind.

The wind was blowing stronger and stronger, and several of us took turns holding flashlights, and every once in a while we would get out of the tent to observe and see if the stone gate was blown out by the storm, but we were frustrated every time.

At first, the five of them were barely able to make do with each other, but after a long time, it became a little stuffy and crowded, especially the fat man Wu was already stuffy and sweaty, and Liu Tingting's arm next to him was wet.

Liu Tingting moved her body with a disgusted look and leaned towards my position, although she still hated me, but compared to Wu Fatzi, maybe I was still a good choice.

As the storm swept away, the tent began to swing left and right, causing the five people in the tent to stagger, and Liu Tingting was just squeezed into my arms impartially.

There was a small lamp hanging above the tent, and through this faint shaking light, I saw Liu Tingting's face instantly red, feeling like a ripe apple.

I never thought that I was so close to Liu Tingting now, at this moment I felt the softness of her body, and I actually enjoyed it a little, and I also found that it was so beautiful to see Liu Tingting up close.

"Stinky Xie Dongzi, I warn you, don't take the opportunity to take advantage of me, otherwise I will kill you!"

I hurriedly raised my hands high and explained, "Miss, I didn't do anything, you threw yourself into your arms, don't wronged a good person." ”

Liu Tingting's face turned even redder when I said this, and she tried her best to move her body away from me, but she didn't succeed, and in the end she could only blush and bow her head.

Suddenly, Liu Tingting raised her head violently, and said to me with great shame: "Xie Dongzi, you are so bold, you actually put something on me, believe it or not, I will make you a eunuch!" ”

…………

Except for the whirring wind, the tent fell silent at once, and the other three people all looked at me with strange eyes.

I hurriedly reached out and took out the contents of my pocket, "Don't get me wrong, this is obviously a flashlight!" ”

In order to avoid this embarrassment, I used the excuse of going out to see if the stone gate had appeared, so I took a flashlight and got out of the tent alone.

At this time, the wind and sand have reached the limit, and there is nothing to see in front of you except the yellow sand flying around.

With the sandglasses in hand, I tightened the towel that was blocking my mouth and nose, and held a flashlight in my hand to stare at the strong wind and carefully grope for a look in the sandstorm.

Inadvertently, I touched a hard masonry, and I carefully identified it as masonry, and it was undoubtedly masonry, because the wind and sand were too big, even if I was lying in front of me, I couldn't see clearly, so I could only rely on my hands to keep touching.

After touching, I felt that the masonry was cold to the touch, and could not be shaken, and the surface was even more uneven, showing a regular carved pattern form, which should be the stone gate we were looking for.

At that time, I was happy in my heart, and the stone gate finally showed its head.

I returned to the tent again, and before I had time to dust off the heavy yellow sand, I told the other four the good news.

Everyone was very excited when they heard it, and the fat man Wu said that he was going to the grave now because of the stuffiness.

I stopped Wu Fatzi and told him not to worry, endure it a little longer, and wait until Shimen completely appears, or it is not too late to go out after this sandstorm is weaker.

In this way, the five of us snuggled up in a cramped tent and didn't know how long it was, until we felt that our breathing was a little less smooth, and then we decided to go out and have a look.

When I unlocked the tent, a large amount of yellow sand flowed into the tent, and it even reached my calves, no wonder I couldn't even breathe well, and the whole tent was buried in the yellow sand.

If it weren't for the toughness of the steel bones of this tent, I'm afraid several of us would have been buried alive under this yellow sand.
