"What are you talking about, Captain Lou? I am the village chief of Mofen Village, and I should fully support the scientific expedition team's work."

"Captain Lou, please get busy first, and we will go back first."

"Well, I won't send it."

Seeing the village chief nodding and hunching down, looking like a traitor, I felt very angry. If this had happened before, I would have taken him out and executed him long ago.

After I got back, I gathered all the people who were traveling with me and told them the news I got from the fool.

"Damn it, now that you know the place, what are you waiting for? Go quickly, don't let those gang of turtles get the first step!"

Fatty Wu jumped up as soon as he got high, looking excited and eager to go hunting for treasure.

I shook my head and said: "No, there are many of us, the target cannot be small, and the location of the Shimen is not too far from the group, it is easy to be discovered, and we don't know how many times the Shimen has been hit." It’s covered in yellow sand and it’s difficult to clean up.”

"What should we do?" Liu Tingting asked, frowning.

I turned my head and looked at the old man, smiled, and then said again: "Don't worry, there is a way. Everything is ready. All we need is the east wind."

"What do you mean, Dongzi, please explain clearly, what is the east wind, where does it come from?"

"Hehehehe...!"

At this time, the old man beside him stroked his gray beard and laughed, and then he explained to others what east wind was.

In fact, on the way back, the old man and I were already worrying about how to find Shimen without anyone noticing.

But we never thought that it was the profit-seeking village chief who woke us up with one sentence.

At that time, the village chief looked up at the sky, and then said: The sky is covered with chaos, and it only takes three or five days for the sky to change.

At that time, I asked the village chief what this meant. The village chief said it was a proverb in the Gobi regarding the changeable weather, which meant that there would be a sandstorm in three to five days.

Hearing what the village chief said, I remembered that Hanzi told me that he discovered Shimen after a sandstorm.

This is indeed an excellent opportunity blessed by God, but three to five days is a bit too long. Changes are likely to occur in such a long time.

But all the old proverbs are well-founded. I firmly believe in this, so I asked the village chief and asked him the specific time, whether it was three days or five people. When the time came, our group of people When you leave, be sure not to catch up.

The village chief said this proverb, he has been talking about it since the day before yesterday, which means that the sandstorm is about to blow up, either tonight or tomorrow, so if we want to leave, it is best to wait until the sandstorm passes. before leaving.

When I heard this, I felt excited, and the old man's eyes also gleamed.

I asked how long it would take for the sandstorm to stop. The village chief shook his head and said he didn't know. Sometimes it would stop after an hour or two, and sometimes it would last for several days.

Mofen Village can still exist in such a harsh environment because of the mound as a barrier. Otherwise, it would have been buried by the yellow sand long ago.

After listening to the old man's explanation, everyone understood what the so-called Dongfeng was about.

At this time, the wind started blowing outside the house, which meant that the sandstorm chose to visit Mofen Village this evening.

As soon as the wind picked up, everyone was eager to try and get ready. Even Gouzi, who had always been serious about his words, showed a hint of eagerness.

finally.

At ten o'clock at night, after the whole village fell into deathly silence, and before the huge storm was approaching, a group of five of us quietly walked out of the village and came to the location pointed out to me by Hanzi.

The location where the five of us are at this moment is on the other side of the tomb, separated from Mofen Village by the extremely huge tomb in front of us. We are also exposed to the storm with an unobstructed view.

The guys from the scientific expedition team were on the same side as us, but because the tomb mound was so huge that it was comparable to a mountain peak, there was at least a thousand meters between us.

And in this extreme weather, those people must have already hid in the tents, and no one would risk coming out at all, so we don't need to be too cautious and can act boldly.

The wind and sand were getting stronger and stronger, making people unable to open their eyes. Fortunately, we were prepared in advance and put up the only tent.

After setting up the tent, all five of us squeezed in. On the one hand, it was protected from the wind and sand. On the other hand, with the weight of the five of us, the tent would not be blown away by the strong wind.

The strong wind got stronger and stronger, so several of us took turns holding flashlights, and got out of the tent every once in a while to check to see if the stone door had been blown out by the storm, but we always came back frustrated.

At first, the five people squeezed together and it was manageable, but after a while, it became a bit stuffy and crowded, especially Fatty Wu, who was already sweating profusely from the stuffiness. As a result, Liu Tingting, who was next to him, had wetness on one side of her arm. A big piece.

Liu Tingting moved her body with a look of disgust and leaned towards where I was. Although she still hated me, compared to Fatty Wu, maybe I was still a good choice.

As the storm swept across, the tent began to sway left and right, causing the five people in the tent to stagger around and squeeze in. Liu Tingting happened to be squeezed into my arms impartially.

There was a small lighting hanging above the tent. With this weak and swaying light, I saw Liu Tingting's face turn red instantly, feeling like a ripe apple.

I had never thought that I was so close to Liu Tingting now. At this moment, I felt the softness all over her body, and I actually enjoyed it. Moreover, I also found that Liu Tingting was so beautiful up close.

"Stupid Xie Dongzi, I'm warning you, don't take advantage of me, or I'll kill you!"

I hurriedly raised my hands high and explained, "Miss, I didn't do anything. You threw yourself into your arms. Don't wrong a good person."

Liu Tingting's face turned even redder after what I said. She tried her best to move her body away from me, but failed. In the end, she could only blush and lower her head.

Suddenly, Liu Tingting raised her head fiercely and said to me with great shame and anger: "Xie Dongzi, you are so brave, you actually hit me with something, believe it or not, I will let you become a eunuch!"

…………

Except for the whistling wind, the tent suddenly became quiet, and the other three people all looked at me with strange eyes.

I hurriedly reached out and took out the things in my pocket, "Don't get me wrong, okay, this is obviously a flashlight!"

Even though I had already explained everything, everyone still looked at me weirdly. In order to avoid this embarrassment, I excused myself to go out to see if the stone gate had appeared, and then got out of the tent alone with a flashlight.

At this time, the wind and sand had reached their limit, and nothing could be seen except the yellow sand flying everywhere.

Wearing sandproof goggles, I tightened the towel covering my mouth and nose, holding a flashlight in my hand and staring at the strong wind, carefully groping around in the sandstorm.

Inadvertently, I touched a piece of hard masonry. I came closer to identify it carefully, and I was sure that it was a masonry. Because the wind and sand were so strong, I couldn't see clearly even if I lay in front of me, so I could only rely on my hands to keep touching it. bump.

After touching it, I felt that the masonry was cold to the touch and could not be shaken. The surface was even more uneven, with regular carving patterns. It must be the stone door we were looking for.

At that time, I was overjoyed that Shimen finally showed its head.

When I returned to the tent again, I didn't have time to brush off the heavy yellow sand on my body, so I told the other four people the good news.

Everyone was very excited after hearing this. Fatty Wu even said that he was going to the tomb now because of the sweltering heat.

I stopped Fatty Wu and told him not to be anxious and to endure it a little longer. It wouldn't be too late to go out after the Shimen completely appeared, or when the sandstorm weakened.

In this way, the five of us stayed in the narrow tent for an unknown amount of time. It was not until we felt that our breathing was not so smooth that we decided to go out and take a look.

When I opened the zipper of the tent, a large amount of yellow sand flowed into the tent and even covered my calves. No wonder I couldn't breathe smoothly. The entire tent was buried by the yellow sand.

If it weren't for the tough steel frame of this tent, I'm afraid several of us would have been buried alive under the yellow sand.
