This place is sparsely populated, and almost no one comes to this peaceful place on weekdays.
Therefore, the maintenance of the roads here is extremely poor. Sometimes you can see the road, and sometimes you can only see patches of yellow-brown sand and gravel.
If Lao Duoji hadn't been familiar with this place, it wouldn't have been long before a few of us would have been lost in the vast Gobi.
Xiong Ming drove the car, Luo Duoji sat in the passenger seat and guided the way, and the remaining three of us and a dog crowded in the back seat.
No one of us spoke, we all looked out the window at the endless Gobi desert, each thinking about our own thoughts.
Since there was no one here, Xiong Ming stepped on the floor oil happily all the way. Wuling Hongguang actually made this kid feel like driving F1.
A few of us walked along the route guided by Lao Duoji, and a few hours passed in an instant.
At first, all of us were very interested in the Gobi Desert outside. After looking at it for a while with "unexperienced" expressions on our faces, we gradually calmed down.
Except for Li Xiaohong, who was still looking out the window, Hua Muling, myself, and the big black dog named Erlang all decisively chose to close their eyes and rest.
I don’t know how much time passed, but just when I was about to fall asleep, Lao Duoji suddenly said: "We are almost approaching Sanlagordo...!"
As soon as Lao Duoji's words came out, all of us suddenly became energetic.
Xiong Ming was the first to ask: "Old man, how long until we can reach that damn desert?"
Lao Duoji did not answer Xiong Ming's words, but slowly stretched his hand out of the car window, raised his head slightly and looked at the sky above his head, frowned and said: "The weather is going to change, we have to get there before the storm comes. Sanlagordo. I know a temple where we can temporarily escape this storm."
Xiong Ming also looked out the window and saw nothing special except for some more clouds in the sky.
Xiong Ming frowned slightly and said, "Old man, are you trying to scare people? Doesn't this look like a storm?"
Listening to Xiong Ming's words to flatter himself, Lao Duoji was not angry, and just said calmly: "Just drive your car! It's getting better and better!"
Xiong Ming smiled and said, "This is easy to handle!"
After saying that, Xiong Ming stepped on the oil, and the silver-gray Wuling Hongguang scurried out like a local mouse on the Gobi Desert.
But just when Xiong Ming was enjoying the driving pleasure, our car suddenly made two inexplicable "boom" sounds, then suddenly slowed down, and soon we couldn't move even one step.
I asked in surprise: "Dali Bear, what's going on?"
Xiong Ming patted the steering wheel and said, "I don't know!"
Hua Muling said: "Xiong Ming, did you run out of gas?"
When Xiong Ming heard what Hua Muling said, he immediately shook his head and said, "Impossible! I checked specifically when I got in the car and the mailbox was full."
I sighed and said, "Okay! Get out of the car and take a look and you'll find out!"
After saying that, I opened the door and jumped out of the car first.
After I got out of the car, Xiong Ming also got out of the car and opened the front hood of the car.
And the moment the front cover was opened, a stream of black smoke came out from inside, choking the two of us and we couldn't help but take several steps back.
Xiong Ming waved his hand vigorously in front of his face and cursed: "His grandma! That damn Li Dong, what kind of broken car is this that you prepared for us? Why did the cylinder explode halfway?"
I waved my hands vigorously, trying to make the smoke in front of me disperse a little.
After a while, I put my head into the front hood, pretending to look around here and there, but found nothing.
But just when I was about to close the front cover, a piece of imaginary wire caught my attention.
I frowned and pointed to the burnt wire and said, "Digital Bear, look!"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Ming immediately came over and said, "What's wrong?"
I said, "Look at that wire. I feel like someone has tampered with it..."
Before I finished speaking, Xiong Ming jumped up and cursed loudly: "Damn it, it must be Li Aiguo's son who did this! Let me tell you, that kid looks like he deserves a beating... it must be him ! That kid must have connected this thread while we were not paying attention, and only he can do this."
I saw Xiong Ming shouting louder and louder, so I grabbed him and said, "You girl, please keep your voice down. I'm telling you, don't curse in the street without evidence, or you may be struck by lightning!"
Perhaps to confirm what I said, as soon as I finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly pierced the sky, and a few seconds later, a "rumbling" thunder sounded in our ears.
I hurriedly looked up at the sky, only to realize that the sky had changed its face in the blink of an eye.
The sky above our heads was clear a second ago, with white clouds slowly drifting by, looking peaceful.
At this time, it was actually covered with lead clouds, and one huge black cloud after another seemed like an ancient behemoth, spreading its teeth and claws to engulf the entire land.
What's even more frightening is that countless thunder and lightning flashes from time to time in the black clouds, and the thunder is louder than the sound, and the next second it explodes in the ears.
"Grandma, what a fucking change!" I cursed in a low voice. "I really asked the fourth girl to tell you for sure. This Gobi girl is really faster than turning the pages of a book!"
I cursed in my mind and turned to look at Lao Duoji. I saw that Lao Duoji had already packed his luggage and said with a wave of his hand: "Let's go! If we don't leave, it will be too late!"
The wind got stronger and stronger, whistling in my ears.
I could only pull my neck and shout: "Which way?"
Lao Duoji pointed at the big black dog Erlang in front of him and shouted: "Follow Erlang!"
After saying that, Lao Duoji squatted down and whispered a few words in Erlang's ear. Then, after touching Erlang's head a few times, he said: "Go!"
I saw Erlang running out like an arrow.
After seeing Erlang running out, Lao Duoji shouted to us: "Let's go!"
"Okay! Come here!"
While talking, Xiong Ming and I unloaded all the equipment in the car, distributed it, carried it on our backs, and quickly followed Lao Duoji towards the depths of the Gobi.
The sky is getting cloudier and cloudier, almost blocking all the sun's rays; the cloud pressure is getting lower and lower, making it almost suffocating.
The lightning was like a blue dragon swimming back and forth in the clouds. From time to time it would poke its head out towards the living beings on the ground and roar.
The wind began to increase little by little. It was just a gentle breeze a few minutes ago. Now it was dozens of kilometers behind us, converging into a giant storm that topped the sky and the earth.
Not only that, the huge storm behind us is getting bigger and bigger. Although it is still some distance away from us, the super strong wind speed still blows on the face like a steel knife cutting through the skin.
We were a group of five people and one dog, driving on Route 11, running forward desperately, for fear that if we ran too slowly, we would be swallowed up by the giant storm.
Erlang, the big black dog at the front, seemed to know the road and ran forward with his head lowered.
Although Lao Duoji behind him was old, he was very strong. He was carrying the long baggage and followed Erlang closely. At the same time, his two eyes were looking around vigilantly like wolves.
Compared with the old hunters who have been crawling around in the desert next door all year round, the four of us look much more embarrassed.
Although he could barely keep up with Lao Duoji's speed, he was obviously out of breath.
The few of us ran forward for about thirty minutes. Just when the storm behind us was about to tear us apart, Erlang, who was running at the front, suddenly turned and headed towards the back of a hill. Run.
Lao Duoji saw this and shouted: "Follow me quickly!"
After saying that, Lao Duoji turned around and ran towards the back of the hill.
Lao Duoji ran fast, and the few of us ran not too slowly. In less than two seconds, the four of us also bypassed the sand dune.
What I didn't expect at all was that half of an ancient temple was buried behind this sand dune.
