in the room?Is there something weird about this room?

Bai Suhe thought about it, the layout of the room was plain and simple, and they had a rough look at the utensils scattered on the ground. Although they were old, they were all ordinary utensils with rough workmanship, without even engravings, and they were used by ordinary civilians.It's normal to have secret passages and hidden compartments in official residences and military mansions, but it would be a bit strange if such an ordinary residence they picked out at random also had organs.

"Does Rong Thirteen know?"

"As I said, he asked everyone to come out and check after the sandstorm stopped, so as not to cause accidents to the firing mechanism."

Mechanism traps are the strengths of Rong Shisan and Lan Zui, Bai Suhe listened to their arrangements, so he didn't say much.

"Sister Bai, go in and rest, I'll just come here."

"No, enough sleep." Bai Suhe refused.She didn't want to go back, and she didn't have to think that Mengzheng would definitely return the blanket to her.Thinking of Meng Zheng's pitiful way of showing her kindness in every possible way, Bai Suhe was clearly guilty, but couldn't face it calmly.

Apart from that ambiguous night, He Lanfu's resentment before the temporary lingering in his mind.

After all, she couldn't completely let go.

After raging for a day and a night, the sandstorm gradually dissipated, the dust and sand in the turbid air became sparse, and the surrounding scenery gradually became clearer.

When the sky finally returned to clear blue and the sun was shining brightly, if it weren't for the sand grains piled up outside the house, the previous violent storm would have been like a dream, never happening.

People trapped in the house scrambled out of the room, breathing the hot air and feeling the heat of the sun on their skin.The four of Reimu knelt on the sand, put their hands on the ground, and murmured prayers, thanking the true God for the blessing.

Lan Zui and the others chose a good hiding place for the camel. Although the camel was quite frightened, there were no losses.Even the equipment is firmly strapped to the sides of the camel, never lost in the strong wind.

As soon as the sandstorm stopped, Lan Zui and the others dispersed to investigate the terrain in all directions.Only then did they realize that the stone mountain they climbed up was not the only one, and there was another stone mountain of about the same height standing silently in the desert yellow sand at the other end.

There is a ridge connecting the two mountains. The small city they are in is built on this ridge. It is generally narrow and long. Simple stone-stacked city walls are built along the mountain walls. Camels walk in and out of the stone road carrying goods.If the city gate is closed, there is a tendency that one man will be the gate and ten thousand men will not open it.

The construction methods of the various buildings in this city are similar to the stone house where Lan Zui and the others hid, only differing in size, not extravagant or simple.In one or two houses, rusty knives and guns can occasionally be seen thrown on the ground, and the writing engraved on them has been rusted and rotten, making it hard to see clearly.

This is very different from other oasis cities. The architectural style, those swords and guns, and its location are enough to prove that this city is the unknown ancient city that was destroyed by the war and belonged to the border of Beiyan that Rong Jiu mentioned.

But they searched all over the nearby stone houses, but they didn't even find a single bone.This made everyone puzzled.Beiyan is wild and warlike by nature, and Beiyan's most precious Kemutuo is planted in this city. It is impossible for the soldiers guarding the city to give up this natural danger and surrender with their hands up.Since there is a war, there must be casualties.Even if it takes too long, at least there are still bones left.But now I can't find anything, as if this was an empty city, it's really strange.

Could it be that something happened at that time, so that the soldiers and civilians in the entire city of Beiyan had to abandon the city and leave?If this is the case, when they left, they thought they were well prepared and orderly, so they didn't even leave anything of value.If Xia Ruoqing's body had been in the city at that time, there was a high probability that it would have been taken away with the evacuation of the soldiers and civilians in the city.

Thinking of this, Lan Zui's heart suddenly became cold.Years have passed, and the desert is full of yellow sand. Where can she find the whereabouts of the soldiers and civilians in the entire city, as well as Xia Ruoqing's body?

The worse news is that Rong Jiu's nose is not as bright as in the legend. Several wells in the city either collapsed or dried up without water. Lu Zhi, they were able to come here before, I'm afraid it was a mistake and they should not be killed.

In this way, the amount of drinking water they carried did not allow them to delay here. At most, they had to evacuate after checking the stone house for refuge.With the trend of the times, Lan Zui had no choice but to go back to the stone house with Rong Shisan, and Rong Shisan entered the room to check, while Lan Zui and the others put the equipment on the camels on the sand and reorganized them. Minimize the load on the camels - if you can't find water in time, you can only slaughter the camels and drink their blood to quench your thirst.

When looking at other stone houses, Rong Shisan discovered that this house was designed with skylights.At this moment, he opened the skylight on the top, held the flashlight in one hand, and walked carefully in the house, stroking the stone house wall inch by inch with his fingers, without pulling it off at all.Rong Shisan's movements were sensitive and fast, the stone house was limited, so he searched all over the outside in a short while, but found nothing.Rong Shisan held up the flashlight and looked at the stone bed that occupied most of the room, thoughtfully.The mattress and quilt cover on that stone bed had long since rotted into plaster, and last night they were wrapped up by Reimu and the others, leaving only a large stone slab, which looked like it was organized from the beginning to the end.

Rong Shisan stretched out his hand and lifted it, the stone bed was heavy, it was indeed a solid big stone slab, the tunnel could not be hidden underneath.In this way, there is nothing suspicious in this room. Could it be that Rong Jiu made a mistake?

Rong Shisan still didn't give up, he groped around the stone bed, and his eyes suddenly fell on the stone pillow at the head of the bed.

Stone pillows are cold and hard, and modern people are not used to sleeping on them.Last night, the four of Reimu and the others were forced to squeeze into this bed, which was very cramped.If Rong Shisan was changed, all the things that occupied the place would definitely be thrown out of the bed.

But the stone pillow is still placed on the head of the bed.

Rong Shisan stretched out his hand and pulled it, the stone pillow shook slightly and did not move from its original position, but suddenly he heard a very small click in his ears.

Rong Shi responded very quickly, immediately curled up with his head in his arms, and curled up at the foot of the bed.The room was quiet, without any changes, but there was a sudden noise of heavy objects falling outside, the sound was deafening, and even Rong Jiu exclaimed.

Lan Zui and Jun Yihuang disassembled the equipment while paying attention to the movement of the stone house.The sand pile at the gate of the stone house has only been half cleared, and it is only for people to enter and exit.Rong Jiu was lying on the sand pile with two legs exposed, most of her body was leaning inside the door, ready to meet Rong Shisan at any time.

As soon as Lan Zui heard the noise in the room, he saw the sand pile at the gate lowered, and Rong Jiu's body leaned inwards with the sand pile and fell down.Lan Zui's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, rubbing his body and rushing forward to pull Rong Jiu's legs.But the momentum of the pile of sand sliding down was extremely fast, and the door was opened high again, Lan Zui only managed to hug Rong Jiu's foot in time.

No matter what, Rong Jiu is a man who is nearly 1.8 meters tall, how can he hold Lan Zui alone with the strength of one foot?Lan Zui felt a sudden lightness in his hand, leaving only Rong Jiu's shoe in his hand, Rong Jiu screamed and disappeared behind the gate following the pile of sand.

"Rong Jiu!"

As soon as Rong Shisan heard Lan Zui's hoarse cry and Rong Jiu's screams, he knew that something was wrong, so he jumped out of the inner wall without thinking about continuing to dodge.Turning from the bright room to the dark area between the inner and outer walls, Rong Shisan's eyes were not used to it, and just turned a corner and stepped on the ground, but luckily Rong Shisan fell backwards after a long time. Did not fall.

Rong Shisan turned on the flashlight in his hand, only to find that the narrow corridor between the inner and outer walls, except for the one connecting the gate, disappeared after turning the corner, leaving only a dark gap.

"Xiao Jiu!" Rong Shisan knew that Rong Jiu was waiting to meet him at the door, and now he was completely cold from head to toe, and he lay down on the slit and shouted, but there was no response, and it was dark even when the flashlight shone on. It's almost a piece, and I can't see anything clearly.

"Brother Shisan, you come out first! Let's go down to find Rong Jiu." Lan Zui heard Rong Shisan's voice, knew that Rong Shisan was fine, and felt a bit more at ease.She knew that it was useless to be anxious at such a time, on the one hand, she had to get Rong Shisan out first to avoid another accident, on the other hand, she asked Jun Yihuang and Bai Suhe to quickly find the climbing rope so that they could go down as soon as possible.

Rong Shisan punched the ground so hard that his wrists and arms were covered with blood.He looked up and looked left and right, but there was no change in the two stone walls inside and outside. The distance between them was about one and a half people wide.

Now that there is no delay, Rong Shisan immediately climbed according to the law.The stone walls were stacked rough, with strong points for hands and feet, so it was not difficult for Rong Shisan to climb.He faced the slit like a crab and moved sideways.I don't know how long this slit has been stuffy, the air blown out is disgusting, Rong Shisan clenched his teeth, and his face was even more ugly.

He has been in and out of the ancient tomb all year round, so of course he can tell that this is the smell of decay from corpses that have been stored for too long in a poorly ventilated place. It must not be a good place down here.

Rong Jiu fell - I'm afraid it's more than auspicious!

Lan Zui waited by the door, when she saw Rong Shisan she quickly reached out her hand.With the force of Lan Zui's tug, Rong Shisan stepped on the wall and jumped out of the door, and both rolled down on the sand pile in front of the stone house with Lan Zui.

When Bai Suhe and the others saw that Rong Shisan came out safely, they were relieved.They had already found the climbing rope just now, but their attention was focused on Rong Shisan's safety.There would be some free time, so I looked around and found a place where I could tie the rope.

Bai Suhe was about to walk there with the rope, but when she lifted her foot, she suddenly realized something was wrong.At some point, the sand had already covered her knees.

This small town on the mountain has experienced a day and night of sandstorms, and it is normal for a layer of soft sand to accumulate on the ground.Bai Suhe's legs would often sink into the sand when walking before, but just now she was in a hurry to find the rope, and didn't care about the height of the sand layer at all.But now that her attention was back, Bai Suhe clearly noticed that something was wrong with her feet. There seemed to be a suction force below that pulled her down towards the sand. Although it was slow, the height of the yellow sand was indeed increasing—or, it should be that she was sinking more and more. deeper!

What frightened Bai Suhe even more was that when she tried to lift her feet to climb out of the sand layer, the suction under the sand layer was even stronger, tightly wrapping her legs and feet, making her unable to move an inch. Instead, she struggled because of this. , sank faster.
