Chapter 46 The End
I watched the sheepskin book fell to the bottom of the mountain, chagrin in my heart, the prophet’s prophecy is very clear, when the sheepskin book fell to the ground, there will be a sandstorm that engulfed the Zagrama mountain, really afraid of what comes.
Things have come to this point can only listen to God’s fate, I hands and feet to climb to the top of the mountain, suddenly heard behind a mournful sound of a woman crying, ringing in my ears, the sound seems to be like nothing, in the sound of the collapse of the mountain a few can not be heard, but there is a direct line to the heart.
Listen to the voice seems to be Ye Yixin that little girl’s, my body suddenly sank, there is a force pulling me downward, attempting to pull me down the mountain.
My hair stood on end, there are really ghosts ah, at this time the desert sun has been half sunk into the western horizon, I am in the shadow of the mountain, surrounded by black rocks, this moment is really like touching the door of hell.
I struggled to climb up to the top of the mountain, but the rocks under my feet have collapsed, I can only rely on the strength of my hands to hold on to the mountain, I can not look back, but even if I can look back, I do not want to look back, maybe I am afraid of the hands can not hold on to it, I will have to fall into the ghost hole below.
I want to try my best to suppress not to listen to that cry, the cry in the ear but more and more miserable, a sound piercing the heart, listen to my heart sour, the body is getting heavier, can not help but want to let go.
Fatty and Shirley Yang at the top of the mountain to see me drowsy not quite right, want to reach out and drag me up, and distance is a little far away from reach, see the cracks in the mountain expansion, the whole mountain will be spoiled in the blink of an eye, there is no rope at hand, had to unbuckle the belt hanging down.
I was greeted by the upper two people, as if the day was splashed with a bucket of cool water, the whole body revitalized, awake, the cries disappeared in the ear, behind the pull of the force also disappeared, did not dare to delay, pulling the fat man’s belt, climbed to the top of the mountain.
Sunset in the desert has become a blur, a gust of breeze with fine sand blowing through, the sky and the earth shrouded in a layer of shadow of uncertainty, An Liman old man once said, this wind is the signal of the coming black sandstorm, the prophet predicted that the end of the Zagrama has finally come.
Fatty and I set up Professor Chen, the old man at this time has no reaction, like a puppet at the mercy of others, you pull him, he walked with you, do not know tired, but can not stop, a stop, he sat on the ground how to tug not stand up.
Can only be so dragged, dragged, run down the mountain, near the ancient city of Jingjie side of the mountain has completely collapsed, that half of the hollow huge mountain, just covered in the ghost hole on the top side of the hole forever blocked, we went down this side of the mountain is the entrance to the valley of the Zagrama, we would like to come down after the valley to go to meet the camel caravan of the Anliman, although the sandstorm has already begun, but there is no camel then, only with the Although the sandstorm had already started, without camels, we couldn’t get out of there with just No. 11.
I did not expect to just down to the bottom of the mountain, will hear the sound of hooves in the valley, An Liman old man looked panicked, is loudly drinking, driving camels to run out.
Fatty cursed: “old man, you fucking with Hu Dafa’s oath are fart ah.”
An Liman also did not expect us to appear at the entrance of the valley, and quickly said, “Praise be to Allah, it seems that we can meet here, it must be Hu Da’s arrangement.”
We couldn’t care less about talking to him, lifted Prof. Chen onto the camel, and also each found one to climb on, An Liman also chased after the rest of the people to ask where they had gone.
I said, “Don’t mention it, they are all gone, now is not the time to talk about this, where can we hide from the big sandstorm? You just quickly take the group and run that way.”
The sky has completely plunged into darkness, this time scraping the wind column, the eye of the wind seems to be a ghost cave in the mountains, the wind is gradually strengthened, the face is scraped by the sand raw pain, An Li Man old man did not expect this big sandstorm actually came so fast, before half a sign did not, here in addition to the remains of Zagrama and the Jingjie Ancient City, the vastness of the desert, where there is to hide, but since the column, the farther from the eye of the wind will be However, since it is a wind pillar, the farther away from the eye of the wind, the safer it is, and if you recognize the direction and keep running, it is right, whether you can escape or not, it depends on the mood of Hu Da, his old man.
An Liman whistled long and loud, picked up a gas lamp as a signal, rode the first camel to lead the way, and led the camel team to the west.
At first heard a burst of strange sounds from behind, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, but also like the sea waves, instant gale, wrapped with sand and dust of the strong winds covering the sky, coupled with darkness, visibility is low to the extreme, although the hood to cover the mouth, still feel countless sand into the ears and nose.
After running a great distance, the camels gradually do not listen to the command, An Liman let the camels stopped, this time who said what has been all can not hear, he played a few gestures, the frightened camels gathered into a circle.
I saw that he probably meant to say that if he ran any further, the camel caravan would run apart, and once the caravan dispersed, then there was no possibility of anyone surviving, so now we had to build a sand wall in place, and people hid in the middle of the camels, and the only thing left to do was to pray to Hu Da.
I nodded to him, indicating that I understood, and the team assembled on higher ground, allowing Shirley Yang to wrap Professor Chen in a blanket and shelter in place from the sandstorm.
Fatty and I desperately shoveled sand, An Liman old man after placing the camels also came over to help, in the camel around the construction of a simple sand wall, and then the camel’s eyes blindfolded with blankets, to prevent them from fleeing in fear, the people are also wrapped up in blankets around together.
Good thing we have already left the eye of the wind, the sandstorm fringe is already so powerful, near the eye of the wind may tear people into pieces.
An Liman’s camels were all more experienced, and when they gathered together at this time, they no longer panicked, and when they were partially buried by the sand, they shook their bodies and moved upward a little, so as not to be completely buried by the sand.
Until the next morning, the wind and sand only gradually subsided, we kept digging sand wall this night, has long been exhausted, see the sandstorm has passed, which dared to stand up and look up and out, all around the wave like undulating sand dunes, yellow sand was blown by the wind out of a solidified ripples, all around the same scenery.
The Ancient City of Jingjie, the black Zagrama Mountain, the queen’s coffin, the corpse-scented devil’s tongue, the tombs of the prophets and saints, together with those unknown countless secrets of the ancient times, as well as Hao Aiguo, Ye Yixin, Chu Jian, and Sa Dipeng, were all buried in the depths of the yellow sands for all eternity.
Professor Chen also poked his head out of the blanket, looking at the sky giggling, Shirley Yang went over to Professor Chen’s head of sand stroked away, An Liman kneeled on the ground to pray, thanked Hu Da’s mercy, Fatty turned all the bags to look for water, and in the end, nothing, and rushed to me a spread his hands, made a helpless expression.
The sun, slowly rising in mid-air, gradually radiating poisonous heat, wantonly plundering the body’s water.
I also shook my head helplessly, focusing on escaping, I didn’t even think about the water, and as early as seven days ago, I crossed the safe return point, now I want to go back, how easy it is to talk about, the passageway to the Zidu Dark River is also completely buried, with so few of us it’s impossible to dig it open, not a single drop of water, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to hold on for a day in the desert, drinking salty sandy nests of water and camel’s blood isn’t a solution either, once I think of dying of thirst in the desert, I feel that it would be a terrible situation to die of thirst. The thought of dying of thirst in the desert is not an option, and I think it would be better to die in the ghost cave.
