    ?-

    Desert wild smoke.

    In fact, there is no smoke in the desert, it is just the transpiration of hot air in the distance under the scorching sun, the distorted light is like rising smoke, and it is like an invisible barrier.

    Occasionally, you can see some low life or strangely shaped stones in the Gobi, but there is nothing here, just sand, sand, endless sand, the cloudless blue sky against the golden undulating land, dazzling and still  , as if forever.

    I have been walking in this dead silence for three days.

    After these three days of experience, I realized that the previous Gobi was almost worth mentioning. When the sun is at its strongest here at noon, people dare not even get off the camel to touch the ground, because every grain of dust under their feet seems to be scorched by flames.  It's hot, you can feel it even through the thick soles of your boots.

    The water ration is the same as in the Gobi. Each person wears a cowhide water bag on his waist every day. The amount is sufficient, but we still often feel dry mouth and tongue. Because of the increased consumption, we all become less talkative.  , Most of the time, only the bells of the first camel and the tail camel echo each other rhythmically, echoing melodiously in the vast sand sea.

    The only interesting time is about the time when the mirage appears, as if to make up for the regret that did not appear in the Gobi before. In the past few days, this magnificent scene has appeared frequently in the desert, adding a unique color to the boring itinerary  .

    It¡¯s just that this kind of mirage can be refreshing at the beginning, but it¡¯s unavoidably boring after watching too much, especially Lian¡¯er, who hates deception and fraud the most in her life, and this natural spectacle has both.  Since she was confused for the first time until she figured it out, she didn't like this kind of desert illusion. Every time she saw it, she turned to me and said, "The liar has come out again."

    On the contrary, the guides were very happy to see this scene. At first, they thought it was just a matter of preference. Later, during a break, they heard them explain that there must be no strong wind when the mirage appears. People who are used to walking in the desert would rather be steamed by the sun than see the wind.  If there is dust and dust, if you can see mirages every day, you will be able to go out safely on this journey.

    I'm ashamed, I don't know if his statement makes sense, it's just a folk experience from ancient times, and I think there must be some reason.

    And the facts quickly proved this.

    On the way out on the fourth day, the mirage did not appear again, but it was still the weather with high clouds and no wind, roaming the sandy sea, and the hot and unbearable heat seemed to be no different from the previous few days, so everyone  Never cared about anything.

    After noon, Lian'er and I were leaning against each other on the hunchback, and when we were wrapped in a blanket and shaking drowsily, we suddenly heard a thunderous cry, which was so hoarse that it almost shocked us  camels.

    "Black wind!" the voice shouted: "Black wind is rising!"

    We were awake at the same time, Lian'er reacted one step faster than me. When I lifted the blanket and poked my head out, the first thing I saw was the stunned expression of the girl who was close by, pursing her lips. You must know that as she matured, this expression has become more and more in recent years.  It became more and more rare, so I couldn't help but take a second look, and then followed her line of sight, and saw a dark wall standing on the horizon, like an army of demons rampaging.

    That is of course not a monster or a wall, it is a natural phenomenon, it is wind and dust, the locals here call it the black wind, but I still call it habitually, a sandstorm.

    Whether it is a black wind or a sandstorm, the wall is on the left and right, and it is coming at a speed visible to the naked eye at this moment. The blue sky and yellow sand are obliterated by the darkness, as if swallowed into the stomach, and there is no trace.

    At the beginning, I was quite calm, because I understood that the backside of the blackness was actually fine, and the danger was not necessarily much higher than the previous wind in Bailongdui. Rather than worrying about being swept away by the strong wind, it is better to worry about dust suction sickness  Actually, so the first reaction is to take off the windproof towel and add an extra layer, fasten it tightly, carefully protect the head, face, mouth and nose, and remind Lianer to do the same.

    But the two guides were extremely panicked, maybe this kind of wind has too many legends, but they shouted: "Hide, hurry, hide!" while driving the camels in a hurry  I rushed to a large sand dune not far away, probably because I wanted to use the sand dunes as a natural barrier to avoid the sharp wind after a detour, which can be regarded as a slowdown.

    But the storm moved faster than expected. Just less than half of the way around, the wall was several feet away. The closer it was, the more powerful the momentum was.  There was a sound of sobbing, like a ghost crying and a wolf howling in a gloomy cloud.

    The guide still wanted to keep going, but in an instant, the wall of wind rushed towards his face, engulfing the entire camel team in an instant with the momentum of Mount Tai.

    At the moment when the light was engulfed, the body was suddenly tightly protected by someone.

    Wrapped in the wind gust, feelI glanced around, and then the movements became bigger and bigger, and finally alarmed Lian'er, causing her to raise her head from the crest of my neck, and said dissatisfiedly, "What's wrong? Moving around?"

    I couldn't answer, or it was too late to answer, because the moment she raised her head, I saw the source of the faint sound over her shoulder.

    And almost at the same moment, the thing that made the noise had reached its limit, there was an insignificant cracking sound in the wind whistle, and then a black shadow like a long snake suddenly rose, piercing the air and coming towards this side  !

    "Be careful!" I saw the most clearly, and quickly pushed Lian'er, but because of her posture, she couldn't use her strength, but what kind of person Lian'er is, even if she didn't think about my move, she would feel something strange in the back of her head.  The momentum of my push has already floated up, and sometimes I even pushed me back, making me avoid danger from another direction.

    The black shadow like a long snake suddenly whipped on the gravel among us, leaving a deep whip mark, but it was not a whip when I looked closely, but it was just a wooden frame for camels, the kind used to fix things.  Just twine.

    Due to haste, no one moved the load off the camel's back, not to mention the added weight was good for the camel to resist the strong wind, so there was no need to remove it.

    But no one thought that the fixed hemp rope would break, and the most important one was broken.

    While Lianer dodged, seeing the unfixed wooden frame being swept away by the gust of wind like a toy, without thinking, I immediately got up and chased after it with all my strength.

    Because what is loaded in it is the most indispensable thing when walking in the desert-water.

    It¡¯s great, I¡¯ve finally written about the stage of the accident, and it¡¯s better to have an accident, I¡¯m so sorry for the environment if I don¡¯t have any accidents when I go into the desert (©z©z) (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
