Chapter 80: wind

-
Desert smoke.
The desert smoke is actually smoke-free, but the transpiration of hot air in the distance under the scorching sun. The twisted light is like rising smoke, and it is like an invisible barrier.
Gobi occasionally sees some low life, or weird stones, and there is nothing here, just sand, sand, endless sand, a cloudless blue sky lining the golden undulating land, shining and still. As if eternal.
It has been three days in this dead silence.
After three days of experience, I found that the previous Gobi was almost worthless. When the sun was the strongest at noon here, people did not even dare to come down from the camel to touch the ground, because every grain of sand at the foot seemed to be burned by flames. It's hot, even through the thick soles.
The ratio of water is the same as that of Gobi. Each person wears a cowhide water pouch on his waist each day. The amount is sufficient, but he still feels dry and dry. Because of the increase in consumption, we all become less talkative. Most of the time, only the bells of the first camel and the tail camel echoed rhythmically with each other, echoing melodiously in the vast sand and sea.
The only interesting time is when the mirage appears, as if to make up for the regrets that did not appear before in Gobi. These scenes have appeared frequently in the desert in the past few days, and painted the only unique color for the boring trip. .
It's just that this kind of spectacle can be refreshing at first, but it is unavoidable to watch too much, especially for practicing children. In her life, she hates deception and fakes most, and this natural wonder is full of both. With her first doubts and understanding, she has no feelings about this kind of desert illusion. Whenever she sees it, she turns back to me and says, "The deceiver is out again."
However, the guide was very happy to see this scene. I thought it was just a matter of preference. Later, when I was resting, I heard them explain that there must be no wind in the scenery. People who are used to walking in the desert would rather be steamed than the wind. From the dust, if you can see the scenery every day, this way will be able to go out safely.
I'm ashamed, I don't know if he has any reason to say this, it is just the experience of folk since ancient times. I think there should be some reasons.
And the facts quickly proved it.
On the way on the fourth day, I did not see that mirage again. However, it was still the weather with the sky and clouds, and the sea was hot and hot, as if it were the same as the previous few days, so everyone was like it. Never mind more.
After noon, Lianer and I were hugging each other on the humpback, shaking the blanket and lethargic, but they heard a thunderous shout, and the scream came almost exhausted, almost shocked. Camel.
"Black Wind!" The voice cried, "It's black wind!"
At the same time, we were awake, and practicing was one step faster than me. When I lifted the blanket and pour out my head, the first thing I saw was the expression of the girl's lips stunned in the distance. You must know that with her maturity, this expression has been More and more rare, I couldn't help but look at her twice before looking out along her line of sight, seeing a black wall on the horizon, like a demon army running rampant.
Of course, it is not a demon or a wall. It is a natural phenomenon. It is wind and dust. The locals here call it black wind, but I still call it habitually, sand storm.
Either the black wind or the sand storm, the wall is left and right at the moment, it is coming at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and the blue sky and yellow sand where it passes are all swallowed up by the darkness, as if swallowed into the abdomen, and no trace is found.
At first I was calm, because I knew that the black pressure was actually good. The danger might not be much higher than the wind in Bailongdui before. Instead of worrying about being swept away by the strong wind, it is better to worry about vacuuming. Actually, the first reaction is just to take off a layer of windbreaker, fasten it tightly, carefully protect the head, mouth, nose and nose, and remind the trainees to do the same.
But the two guides were very shocked. Perhaps this wind has too many legends, but when they saw them, they shouted, "Hide, hurry, hide!" While driving the camel in a hurry Rushing towards a large sand dune not far away, I was about to use the sand dunes as a natural barrier, and then detoured to avoid the wind and wind, it was a bit slow.
However, the storm moved faster than expected, and it was just less than halfway around. The wall had already reached a few feet away, and the momentum was more immense. The sound of sobbing inside seemed to be crying and lingering.
The guide still wanted to keep going, but only in an instant, the wind wall was rushing to the face, and the entire camel team was swallowed up with the peak of Mount Tai.
The moment the light was swallowed up, the body was guarded tightly by anyone.
Wrapped in the wind, the feeling is completely different. The ears are filled with severe wind howls, and when I open my eyes, my eyes are dry, and I look around at dusk, and I look up at the person who protects himself However, she did not look at me, but frowned, her eyes sharp as a knife.
A few steps away, it was already difficult to distinguish things, and it was impossible to move forward. After a while, I saw the guide slowly groping along the team of camels and shouted, "No, come down, come down, comel, make a block. Wall! "The howling voice swayed faintly in the wind.
I stared at Lianer, although I did n’t understand what he meant, I still jumped off the back of the hump, and it really did feel more secure. Although this camel was a behemoth, it was blown at the moment. Some of them are shaky and unstable, which adds to anxiety.
When this guide saw us coming down, he struggled to step forward and took the camel, but took a few steps to stop moving. Instead, he repeatedly waved to this side, beckoning us to stand with him. The old man also came over, pulling the other mounts in his hand, but when they saw that they were working hard against the wind, they finally made the four-peaked camel kneel side by side in turn, and became a compact square matrix. Right in the square matrix, it was exactly surrounded.
After seeing this action, I finally understood what they called the "retaining wall". I pulled Lianer to squat next to the most powerful camel against the wind, and the wind and sand that split his head and face turned out to be much smaller. The others followed suit, relying on temporary barriers made up of tall animals to avoid natural disasters and to breathe.
It is difficult to wait for the time to pass.
Although there is a camel's thick body for protection, the impact of the sandstorm has weakened a lot, but Yu Wei is also tolerable. The fine sand is pervasive. Even if I have prepared first, I still feel that it is gradually difficult to breathe. Pushing myself and others, I am afraid of training. Feeling the same way, I wanted to hold her in my arms and protect her. As soon as I reached out, I saw that the people around me had taken the same step in advance, and instead fell into her arms.
"I've said that before you can't do it in front of me, you're obviously weaker." She bowed her head, she was squatting in a pose, and then bowed her head, the voice was in the ear, even in her voice. Consistent strengths are clearly identifiable.
He sighed, didn't argue, but just shrank into her arms, took hold of the lowered head, and let her mouth and nose rest between her shoulders and necks, and said softly, "Best of both worlds is the best. "
Lianer seemed to smile, I couldn't see this posture, but felt the heat coming through the neck fossa.
Then I closed my mouth and couldn't talk easily. I just hid in the small gap created by each other in the flying sand and took a quiet breath, waiting for the extreme weather to pass.
If there is any aspect of this day that is most frightening, that is its duration. The sandstorm is not a tornado. Its destructiveness may not be so strong, but it can be maintained for a long time. It can be scraped for hours or even days. It is difficult to make people move, or even completely change the surrounding desert landforms, so that inexperienced people are lost in it. If that is the case, then it is a complete disaster.
Now we have two experienced guides. Do n’t worry about getting lost. Only when the black wind can pass is a problem. The time lapses quickly in the dark, and the yellow sand on the outside of the camel gradually piles up. Gao, Rao is that this animal regenerates very tall and can't afford it anymore. Fortunately, Master Tie has a strong palm wind. Every time this time, he is out of the wind and pushes a few palms of luck to sand or break up or remove the sand. Back and forth, the old man was covered with wind and sand all over his body, and he had become a yellow-orange-orange-shaded sand man.
I do not know how many hours have passed, but the sandstorm has not stopped, and there is no sign of weakening.
If you do n’t worry about it, of course it ’s false, but you ca n’t think about it. Human beings have always been so small in front of nature. You do n’t have to worry too much if you listen to the fate of the sky, not to mention that the magnificent Jade Raksha will not be here. A piece of yellow sand disappeared, and after confirming this, I didn't think it was a big deal, just rest assured that she could hide in her arms.
However, as if to refute this naive idea, God immediately joked with others.
Hiding in that arms, I don't know when it started, and I heard some different voices faintly in my ears, very subtle and sometimes absent, but they are indeed.
I didn't care about it at first, after all, it's not unusual to have any savage voice in the storm where the gods cry.
But it gradually attracted attention, not only because the sound continued, but more importantly, it seemed to be ... very close, and it was close to the ear.
Because of this almost unconscious anxiety, I started to look for it. First, I turned my eyes in a small range to glance around, and then moved more and more. Finally, I was shocked to practice, and raised her head from my neck. , Dissatisfied, "What's wrong? Move around?"
I failed to answer, or was too late to answer, because in the moment she looked up, I saw the source of this subtle sound over her shoulder.
And almost at the same instant, the sounding thing has reached its limit, a trivial breaking sound sounded in the wind tsunami, and then a black snake-like shadow suddenly rose, breaking through the air and rolling towards it !!
"Be careful!" She saw it most clearly. She pushed the child in a hurry, but she couldn't make it because of the posture, but what kind of character was the child, even though she didn't want me to move, she felt something strange. The trend of my push has long since surfaced, and even a kung fu pushed me back, so that I avoided danger in another direction.
The shadow of a serpent slaps against the gravel among us, leaving a deep whip mark. If you look closely, it is not a whip, but a wooden camel-loaded wooden frame. It is used for fixing things. Hemp rope only.
Because of the haste, no one has removed those weights from the camel's back, not to mention the added weight is conducive to the camel's resistance to the wind, so there is no need to remove it.
But no one thought that the fixed hemp rope would break, and the broken one was the most important one.
While practicing to avoid, seeing the wooden frame that had lost its fixation was like a toy being rolled away by the wind and carrying the bones, I didn't think about it, I immediately got up and chased it with all my strength.
Because it is loaded with water, the most indispensable thing when walking in the desert.

Great, I finally wrote about the stage of the accident. Sure enough, it is still good. There is no accident in the desert. I'm sorry about the environment ... (﹁﹁)
