Suddenly strong winds blew around, and the weather changed suddenly. The desert that had just been calm suddenly suddenly saw flying sand and rocks, and the sky was filled with dust. It was so blurry that it was difficult to tell the direction.
"Brother Qing, get in the car and leave here quickly!" Lin Haitao also screamed.
He Qing shook his head solemnly and said: "It's too late, everyone hide in the cave!"
"Where to go to the cave?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing replied: "It's the cave I checked before, where Master Dong's bones are."
As they spoke, the wind and sand became stronger and more ferocious. Almost in the blink of an eye, several centimeters of sand and dust accumulated under their feet, and the tires of the vehicles parked not far away were also buried in the sand.
"Let's go! Everyone, follow me!" It was too late to hesitate. He Qing made a decisive decision and ran towards the hole in the sand dune with Lin Haitao and others.
The old ghost and the others got up from the ground one after another, and then ran after He Qing without hesitation.
Soon He Qing ran up to the high ground, quickly jumped into the pit, and plunged into the deeper cave.
Lin Haitao, Brother Xing and others filed in, and after a while, everyone hid in the cave.
After hiding in the cave, as expected, I could no longer feel the invasion of wind and sand, but I could still hear the whistling of the wind. The wind was so strong that it came in an instant, catching people off guard.
"Brother Qing, I'm afraid it's not possible to hide in this cave." Lin Haitao worried, "The sand and dust blowing over may soon block the entrance of the cave. By then, wouldn't we be buried alive here, and then
Suffocated to death?”
Brother Xing also said anxiously: "Yes, I'm afraid it will be more dangerous. It's better to drive away or find other ways to avoid the wind and sand. Damn, the weather in the desert is like this. It changes at any time and no one can predict it!"
"
But He Qing shook his head gently and said calmly: "No. We are sitting in the car or standing outside. That is dangerous. The wind and sand are coming so fast and so fiercely that we have no time to drive.
If you leave and stand outside, it will be equally difficult to move. It is even more impossible to leave here. So the only way is to hide in this hole. This is the safest place."
He was sure. It was like this was a refuge in the desert.
"Aren't you afraid that the entrance to the cave will be blocked?" Brother Xing asked.
"Don't be afraid." He Qing comforted him, "Don't worry. This is a sand dune, which is higher than any other place around. When the wind blows, the sand and gravel accumulated on it will just move to other places.
It won't pile up higher and tighter. As long as this dust storm doesn't last too long, there won't be any problem. Let's just wait here for the strong wind to pass. Once the wind stops, everything will be fine."
Lin Haitao frowned and said: "What about our car? If this happens, our car parked outside will be buried in the sand, and the top of the car..."
He stopped abruptly and did not continue what he said, because Lao Gui and a group of tomb robbers with evil intentions were nearby. If they knew that there were countless treasures on the car, there was also an ancient gold coffin worth billions.
, then maybe they will have another idea.
He Qing understood the meaning of his words, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Leave the car alone for now, it's important to save your life."
Without life, it is useless no matter how many treasures you have, safety is the first priority.
However, He Qing thought very clearly. They knew where the cars were parked anyway. Even if all the cars were buried in the dust after the sandstorm passed, it didn't matter. They could find a way to dig them out.
"Yeah." Lin Haitao nodded.
No one expected that the bad weather would come so quickly, leaving them without any preparation.
"Bodies, there are corpses here, someone died here!"
Suddenly, only one person was heard exclaiming.
The voice was very strange, it must have been made by someone from Lao Gui.
After hearing this, He Qing's first reaction was that someone had seen Dong Ziqing's body.
Without thinking, he walked toward the front of the tunnel, and soon they came to the place where Dong Ziqing's body was.
When they saw the complete skeleton lying quietly, He Qing and Lin Haitao were not surprised, because they already knew that there was a corpse here and they knew who left it.
"Boss, this... this is so deadly!" The old ghost turned around and looked at He Qing with a horrified look on his face.
"It's normal to have dead bodies in the desert." He Qing replied calmly, "There are so many people who break into the desert every day. It's not like you can walk out of the vast desert just by walking in. There are many who are lost and starving.
Die and die of thirst here, and there are people like us who are unlucky enough to encounter a strong sandstorm."
The old ghost nodded and said: "Maybe it was a sandstorm. So since he died trapped in this cave, will we be the same as him?"
"Crow's mouth, what are you talking about?!" Lin Haitao scolded.
Brother Xing also said angrily: "How could something happen to us? If you were afraid, why did you follow us? We didn't invite you in."
The old ghost said with an apologetic smile: "Haha, I didn't mean that. I'm just afraid of the worst. Since it is the boss's decision, we must not doubt it. The boss is so wise, how could he bring us to a dangerous place?
"
"What did you say?" He Qing asked seriously with a straight face.
The old ghost was stunned for a moment by his stern eyes, and then he said with a smile: "I will do what you say, and we will do it. Everything will follow your wishes."
"I mean your last sentence? What did you call me?" He Qing asked repeatedly.
The old ghost said: "I...I call you boss. Old K and others call you that, and I will call you that too. From now on, we will mess with you, go up to the mountain of knives and the sea of fire. As long as you say a word, we will never
Don’t frown!”
"That's really touching." He Qing said calmly, "But I haven't promised you anything yet, have I? Don't scream, I don't even know you, so we can't have any friendship with you."
The old ghost said: "Now we are facing the danger of the storm together. This is fate, brother! God has made us brothers who share life and death."
"Who is your brother? Don't be sentimental!" He Qing said impatiently, "As soon as the wind and sand pass, you can leave."
After that, he turned around and walked aside, ignoring the old ghost and others.
The old ghost also knew what he was doing and didn't go up to bother him. Instead, he just stood there obediently.
"Brother Qing, did Master Dong die of thirst, or was it possible, as the crow's mouth said, that he encountered a big storm and was trapped in this cave like us?" Lin Haitao walked up and asked softly.
He Qing shook his head and said: "No, he died of thirst."
He was sure of this, so there was no doubt about it.
The wind and sand outside were howling and howling like ghosts and wolves.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of the wind gradually became quieter and finally stopped, and the sound of the wind was no longer heard.
"Brother Qing, the wind has stopped." Lin Haitao said happily.
He Qing nodded and said: "Yes, I heard it. We can go out. Let's go."
After saying this, he walked out of the cave without any explanation.
The old ghost and his subordinates naturally followed closely behind, as if they were afraid that He Qing would abandon them and leave.
When they reached the entrance of the cave, Lin Haitao and Brother Xing couldn't help being surprised. They climbed out of the entrance of the cave and arrived outside the desert. The inside of the big pit had disappeared.
The scenes they saw next shocked them even more. Instead of low flat land, high sand dunes piled up, and where they were at the moment, the previous large sand dunes turned into flat land.
"No!" Lin Haitao pointed to the direction where their car was parked and exclaimed, "The car is gone!"
He Qing glanced at the place he was pointing at, shook his head and said, "It's okay."
The sand dunes there were not very high, which was much better than he imagined. They would naturally have a way to get the car out of it.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked around, as if he was sizing up something.
Seeing that he was not anxious at all and seemed confident, Lin Haitao and Brother Xing looked at each other, not knowing why.
But since He Qing himself is not worried, they don't need to think too much. The matter is now over, and there is no point in worrying.
"Brother Qing, what are you looking at?" Finally, Lin Haitao couldn't help but ask.
"Oh, it's nothing." He Qing calmed down and shook his head.
Lin Haitao asked: "Then what should we do? The first priority should be to find a way to get the car out from under the sand dune, and then find a way to drive out. Not to mention those treasures, most of what we eat and drink is in the car
There are so many people up there, and they obviously don’t have enough water and food. It will take at least a day or two to get out of this desert, and that’s if nothing happens."
He Qing looked back at the place where the car was buried and said: "We can't get the car out for a while. Let's wait and see. If the wind continues to blow, the sand dunes will move and the car will naturally be exposed. The blowing
If the wind blows in the opposite direction, the sand dunes will move this way, and the car will also be exposed."
Lin Haitao nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but the weather in the desert changes without any regularity. Sometimes the wind picks up quickly, and sometimes it takes a long, long time."
He Qing said: "I feel that this storm has not passed, and the wind will continue to rise. Wait, if we just rely on our hands, it is almost impossible to get the car out."
"Aren't there still old ghosts and the others? It's okay to ask them to help. They have many people, so they should be able to do it. It's not a problem to wait helplessly like this." Lin Haitao suggested.
Before He Qing could answer his words, he suddenly heard someone on the old ghost's side shouting loudly: "Gold, there is gold here!"
