Chapter Seventy-Nine: White Bones

The wall was high and wide, like a sand-proof wall, and when it ran to the corner of the wall, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not sure if this place was really safe, Hu Bayi looked at An Liman, and asked quickly and anxiously: "Old man, can this wall block the wind and sand?"

"Then it depends on Hu Da's will. An Liman shook his head, in this case, there is a place to hide for the time being, it is already God's eyes.

For the rest of their lives, everyone was yellow, I don't know if they were scared to the point that their faces turned yellow, or their faces were dusty. An Liman instructed the camels to lie down by the wall, and then the group successively went through a broken roof to a large house below.

This dilapidated house, which may have been a building like a yamen or a city hall in the past, was relatively tall, but over the years, a large amount of sand has been blown in by the wind, and the house is full of fine sand, more than two meters thick. They could only move forward on their waists, and if they raised their heads slightly, they would hit the wooden beams above.

Ye Yixin in the archaeological team, as well as people like Hao Aiguo, who are not in good health, lay on the ground as soon as they entered, took out the kettle and drank it. The rest of the people helped Professor Chen in, and the fat man took a flashlight to shine around, and said with a sigh of relief: "I've seen it all here, it's safe! ”

After An Liman entered the house, he immediately knelt on the ground, chanting words in his mouth, and the devil from the black hell blew a black sandstorm, thanking Hu Da for giving them a place to live.

Hu Bayi said old man, we can find that this place is all thanks to Brother Xia, you see him like Hu Da.

An Liman also saw Xia Yang's amazing performance this way, and solemnly said that this little brother can enter this black desert with them, this is Hu Da's will, he is a person who is favored by Allah, and it is with his leadership that they can come here safely.

Most of these people in the house were born under the red flag and grew up in New China, and they didn't think much of his feudal superstitions, and after listening to a few words, they ignored him and sorted out their own things.

By this time the great sandstorm outside had come above them, and the wind was howling and shaking the heavens and the earth. A group of them were in the ruins of the ancient city, and they couldn't help but be frightened, for fear that the wind and sand would bury the holes in the house, so they could only let people take turns staring at the roof, and as soon as there was any situation, they would quickly inform everyone.

Only Xia Yang's expression was calm, as if he didn't have any worries.

He took a look, and he didn't know when the black wind and sand would stop, at least tonight, they were going to spend the night here, so he went outside and pulled out a large amount of sand artemisia under the city wall outside. It was a kind of hay that could be burned, and after picking enough for them to last a night, they returned to the underground house, and asked Hu Bayi to take out the solid fuel and light a small bonfire to keep everyone warm.

When the dark and gloomy ancient house is illuminated by firelight, everyone's hearts can be regarded as steady.

Just now, when he was collecting Artemisia spp., Xia Yang also found a few yellow sheep in the corner of the city wall, so he went out to hunt two more. When he came back with two yellow sheep, everyone was very happy, and praised Xia Yang for his power, and he could hunt without weapons, so he could have fresh meat to eat.

Wang Fatzi is the most excited one, these days he gnaws on jerky every day, he has long been bored with gnawing, and the birds are fading out of his mouth. He said proudly, my Xia brother can even kill monsters like the overlord salamander, and kill two yellow sheep with his bare hands, it's like a joke!

Professor Chen was moved when he saw that Xia Yang had been running around, doing so many things for their archaeological team, and that he had braved the wind and sand to go back to save himself just now, and he hurriedly called Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng to go up to help, let Xia Yang come over to rest, and thanked him repeatedly.

Only An Liman warned Xia Yang with a serious expression, telling him not to abuse force, if he scared away those animals and let them die in the sandstorm, Hu Da would be to blame.

Where was Wang Fatzi willing to listen to his nonsense, he couldn't wait to take out the knife, and began to disembowel and slaughter.

While they were dealing with the yellow sheep, Shirley Yang walked up to Xia Yang and Hu Bayi and said that she had found some animal footprints in the corner of the wall, which according to the judgment, should be the footprints of wolves.

An Liman overheard this and said: "This place, it's the place that Hu Da specially prepared for the animals in the desert, we didn't see it, behind those broken houses and broken walls, maybe there are many animals hiding in refuge, not to mention wolves, even leopards." Now there is a sandstorm in the sky, and the animals on the earth are frightened, and no one can care about anyone. When the sandstorm is over, you'll find a lot of different animals hiding in one room, nothing unusual. ”

Sa Dipeng was timid, and said a little nervously when he heard this: "If you want to say so, after the wind and sand have passed, this ...... Won't these wolves and leopards find us?"

Wang Fatzi glared at him, and while cutting the mutton, he said angrily: "Look at your cowardice, what are you afraid of! With your big brother Xia here, not to mention wolves and leopards, even if it is a lion or a tiger, it can be easily killed!"

Hao Aiguo also said: "That's it, Xiao Sa, don't be afraid, Comrade Xiao Xia is amazing." ”

Since Xia Yang joined the archaeological team, his performance along the way can be said to be omnipotent. As long as he is here, he gives everyone a sense of security and hope. Although Hu Bayi is the nominal leader of the team, in fact, Xia Yang is the real spiritual leader of their group!

Hu Bayi sat in front of the fire and said: "This beast has nothing to be afraid of, but this black wind and sand, I don't know when it will pass, we are the first time to see the power of the desert today, this time everyone understands it!"

"We call it fighting with the sky and the earth, and it's a lot of fun!" Professor Chen also sighed.

Chairman Mao's famous sentence sounds like that to everyone now. Ye Yixin stared at the fire intently, nodded, and agreed: "This sentence, thinking about it now, really makes sense." ”

At this time, Hao Aiguo suddenly exclaimed: "Little ...... Xiao Ye, what are you holding in your hand?"

Hearing him ask, Ye Yixin immediately came back to her senses, only to see that a stick-like object that she had just touched from her side at random and thought it was a wooden stick, which turned out to be a dead man's white bone, so frightened that she jumped up violently, hid behind Sa Dipeng, pointed to the position where she was sitting just now, and said with a disgraced face: "Bone ...... Bones, there are so many bones, so many bones!"

Hao Aiguo was very calm, he turned around slowly, glanced at the white bones on the ground, and said angrily: "We are engaged in archaeology, are we still afraid of bones?"

Ye Yixin said weakly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Hao, I'm ...... I just didn't expect it...... There will be human bones in it, and the mental preparation will not be sufficient. ”

"It seems that this is really a human bone?" Hao Aiguo was not afraid of such a thing as a dead corpse, and directly dug out a few thick white bones from the yellow sand.

Hu Bayi said with some confusion: "Professor Hao, these bones look a little strange. The flesh and bones of the dead in the desert are rarely rotten, and they are generally dried naturally and become mummies. ”

Shirley Yang also looked suspicious, and then he said: "But there is not even a bit of flesh and skin on this white bone. ”

"Maybe the wolves will eat it all!"

An Liman has been dealing with the desert for half his life, and he has long been accustomed to it, and there is no wave in his tone.

"Quite possibly. Hu Bayi agreed with him that this man was most likely forced to stay here to escape the storm, and was attacked by animals.

Seeing this white bone, Xia Yang suddenly remembered a plot. In the original book, it seems that their group dug up the desert marching ants in this ruins, but fortunately, they escaped with a big fate!

Remembering this plot, Xia Yang's face froze, and he hurriedly asked them to collect the white bones, then wrapped them in a piece of cloth, and put them in the corner, saying that after the black wind and sand stopped, they would be taken outside for burial, and before that, no one was allowed to touch these white bones.

Seeing that he looked serious and very solemn, he mentioned that he wanted to take it out for burial, and the others thought that he respected the deceased, so they agreed.

After resting for a while, Anliman was a little worried about his camels hiding behind the broken walls, so he planned to brave the sandstorm to go out and tie the camels up. As soon as Hu Bayi saw that the fat man had almost cut the yellow mutton, he walked over to replace him, and said I will barbecue the meat, fat man, you and Chu Jian will help the old man, and by the way, bring in some important supplies and sleeping bags.

The three of them put on goggles and covered their ears, nose and ears with bandanas, and climbed through the hole in the roof. It was a long time before the three of them returned, covered in sand.

The fat man ripped off his turban and goggles, sat down on the ground, and spitted: "Oh my God, this wind is blowing, if we don't die and pull it, we will all blow it to the sky!"

After Sa Dipeng and Ye Yixin went over to help sort out the supplies, the mutton was almost cooked, and an enticing fragrance spread throughout the underground room.
