The quicksand moving and burying tents and cars is not uncommon in the desert, and after they heard this, no one spoke.
We were at a loss because of the lost car when Miss Tang suddenly exclaimed, clutching her stomach and bending over, gasping, "I'm about to give birth!"
I've never seen a woman give birth; my only knowledge is from TV dramas. Hearing Miss Tang shout, I was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.
She reached out to steady herself on a nearby rock, but as she leaned down on the stone, with an 'ow,' she fell along with the rock.
Originally, Doctor Du was about to go support her, with one foot stepping near Miss Tang's position while the other leg had yet to move, but the ground beneath Miss Tang suddenly collapsed. Doctor Du's front foot also immediately sank into the ground. The force was too great, and she couldn't withdraw her leg in time, ending up in a big split, falling into the sand.
