Chapter Eleven: Sandstorm

The archaeological team followed the route drawn up by Shirley Yang and headed south along the Ziduan River.
In the morning, when everyone woke up, they saw the morning glow spreading across the earth, as if the sky was weeping blood again.
"What is the old man doing?"
Wang Kaixuan walked up to Hu Bayi, put out the cigarette and asked.
Shirley Yang took a photo and said: "That is a Uyghur sacrificial ceremony. He is communicating with Hu Da."
"Communicate with Hu Da?" Wang Kaixuan pointed to the sky and said, "Can he hear it?"
Hu Bayi pressed Fatty Wang's hand and said, "Fat man, stop saying a few words and keep your mouth shut. This is religious belief. Our country advocates freedom of belief. We'd better wait for him!"
At this time, Zhang Lin, who was sitting on a camel and fully armed, looked down at Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang and said, "Are you really Chinese?"
Wang Kaixuan said: "If it's fake, then what? Are you an American?"
Zhang Lin shook his head and said: "Since you are Chinese, haven't you heard that if you don't go out at dawn, the sunset will travel thousands of miles? What are you still doing? Get on a camel and run for your life!"
As he spoke, a dozen camels followed closely behind An Liman, who had already fled for his life.
Wang Kaixuan pointed at the fleeing duo: "That kid and that old man!"
"What nonsense!" Hu Bayi pushed the fat man away and hurriedly called to everyone: "Get on the camel, let's go quickly!"
An Liman's distant voice reached Hu Bayi's ears, like a life-threatening voice: "Hurry up! The sandstorm is coming. If you don't leave, you have to go see Hu Da!"
After hearing this, Hu Bayi quickly interrupted everyone who was still packing their bags, helped Professor Chen onto the camel, and followed Zhang and Lin.
Shirley Yang's equipment was loaded on the camel by Zhang Lin early, so she quickly followed Zhang Lin and said with some dissatisfaction: "You knew there was a danger, why didn't you tell everyone?"
"Tell you?" Zhang Lin turned around and said with a smile: "My boss, you have a lot of experience in desert adventures. When Hu Bayi was in the company, he went into the snowy mountains and worked on infrastructure in the desert. Those college students, professors and so on, all of them were so educated.
Gao, I thought you all understood the celestial phenomena. I thought you wanted the sandstorm to run a hundred meters first."
"You..." Shirley Yang said angrily: "Do you know how dangerous this is? You are making fun of the lives of the team again."
"Are you kidding?" Zhang Lin said: "My boss, you can't run away, but I can run away? Stop joking and run away."
After talking about a dozen camels, he caught up with An Liman and said, "Uncle An, the sandstorm is too fast and we can't escape. You are a living map of the desert. Do you know where to take shelter from the wind?"
"Yes, yes! My friend!" An Liman saw that it was Zhang Lin and said quickly: "There is a stone city not far ahead. Where can we go to avoid the sandstorm?"
Zhang Lin said loudly: "Okay! Uncle An, you are responsible for leading the way, and I will call someone!"
An Liman heard this and said quickly: "Okay! My friend! Mr. Hu Da will protect us!"
"I hope so!" Zhang Lin gathered up all the towels, turned the camel and went back to find Hu Badi: "Brother Hu, An Liman said there is a stone city ahead to avoid sandstorms, you should follow closely.
Let everyone be careful not to fall behind."
"Okay!" Hu Bayi said loudly: "I'm looking at you guys, you and Fatty follow An Liman closely, don't let the old guy run away, otherwise we will be doomed."
Zhang Lin returned: "Don't worry, he can't run away! You should pay attention, especially those two old men, who are very weak, so don't fall behind."
Hu Badi said: "Go and watch An Liman! Leave this to me!"
"Okay, be careful!" Zhang Lin nodded, hit the camel again to catch up with An Liman, and said to Fatty Wang, who was following An Liman closely: "Fat man, Uncle An, I'll watch, you go take care of Miss Yang.
, She is our golden mountain, nothing can happen to her."
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he looked at Zhang Lin and then at An Liman, who lowered his head and said nothing, and said fiercely: "Okay! You look at this old man, I'll look at Jinshan."
Zhang Linda said: "The safety of Jinshan is the most important. The shelter is right in front. In such a big sandstorm, no one dares to run around except where to go."
Fatty Wang nodded and turned the camel to look for Shirley Yang. Zhang Lin looked at An Liman who lowered his head and said nothing, just running forward on the camel and said: "Uncle An Liman, so many people are relying on you to survive now.
Now, please stop playing tricks at this time. Otherwise, Zhang will recognize you, but the iron sword on my back will not."
"My friend, why are you like this!" An Liman said: "I thought you were different from them, why are you threatening me, an old man? Hu Da is angry, and I can't do anything.
Before I came here, I told you that if you go into the desert at this season, old man Hu Da will be angry."
"Old man!" Zhang Lin shouted loudly: "It's useless for you to tell me this. You have to tell them that I only get paid to do things. You should lead us to a safe place to avoid this sandstorm first!
Miss Yang behind you, she owes you ten thousand dollars and the money for those camels. If something happens to her, I won't be able to get my share of the reward, and you will be in vain."
"Don't worry! My friend!" An Liman said as he ran: "For ten thousand dollars, I will ensure her safety. She will be the one I rely on for the rest of my life."
"That's right!" Zhang Lin said: "How far is Stone City?"
An Liman said: "It's right in front, my friend, look at that tall and black thing, it's the outline of Stone City."
Zhang Lin took a look and saw that there were indeed some faint outlines in the wind and sand, so he rushed behind and said: "Speed ​​up, there is a place to avoid the sandstorm ahead."

"Why are you here? Where are Hu Bayi and the others?"
Shirley Yang, who was struggling in the sandstorm, saw Fatty Wang coming and asked loudly.
Fatty Wang heard this and replied: "Old Hu is watching Professor Chen and others from behind. Zhang Lin asked me to protect you, saying that you are his golden mountain and nothing can happen to you."
When Shirley Yang heard this, she said angrily: "Thank him for me, what is he doing? Why doesn't he come over by himself?"
Fatty Wang replied: "He looked at the living map and the old man wanted to run away."
"Really?" Shirley Yang said, "I heard them saying that the front can provide shelter from the storm? Did you hear that?"
"I heard it!" Wang Kaixuan said, "That's the voice of Zhang."
"Then hurry up and leave!" Shirley Yang said, "Go and help Hu Bayi. I can do it myself. Don't let them fall behind."
When Wang Kaixuan heard this, he saw that Hu Bayi was no longer there. He quickly said to Shirley Yang: "Then Jinshan, be careful. I'll go see Lao Hu!"
"Go!" Shirley Yang waved her hand, and Wang Kaixuan hurriedly left, looking for Hu Bayi behind. Not far away, they met Ye Yixin and the other four, and they quickly stepped forward and asked, "Which of you has seen this?"
Hu Bayi?"
Chu Jiandao: "Professor Chen fell behind. Brother Hu asked us to leave first and went to find it ourselves!"
"What?" Wang Kaixuan became anxious upon hearing this, and quickly asked several people: "When did it happen?"
Ye Yixin said: "Just now, they were not far behind. Brother Wang, are you going to find them?"
"Nonsense!" Wang Kaixuan cursed and quickly went back to look for Hu Bayi.
The wind and sand are very strong, making it difficult to move even an inch, and the sight is blocked. It is no joke to get lost at this time.
