Chapter 36: Heart-to-Heart Talk
Outside the house, a big sandstorm was coming, and the wind was howling and shaking the sky.
Everyone stayed in the ruins of the ancient city, feeling the shaking of the ground and the sound of the wind raging outside, and they couldn't help but be a little worried, worried that if the wind and sand blocked their only exit, then everyone would have to suffocate to death.
There are many ways to die, but there is no doubt that being buried by the wind and sand and suffocating to death is undoubtedly one of the most cruel among them.
Because of this worry, Hu Bayi then assigned a task to everyone, and Sa Dipeng, Fat Man, Chu Jian and the three of them took turns to stare at the hole in the house, and as soon as there was any situation, they quickly notified everyone to run out.
However, everyone knew that if the storm moved the desert and the wall in front of them was swallowed up, even if everyone ran out, they would only be buried alive in another direction.
Under the wall outside the house, there were sand wormwood seeds, which were a kind of hay, and Hu Bayi leaned out and plucked some of them, took out solid fuel, and lit a small fire to keep everyone warm.
The dark ancient house, with the light of the fire, instantly made everyone feel much more at ease.
But at this moment, Ye Yixin, who was still frightened just now, jumped up again, and hit the beam of the house with her head, she was almost knocked unconscious, countless fine sand fell on the beam, and the people below were not wearing goggles, so they were inevitably blinded.
While rubbing their eyes, everyone asked Ye Yixin what happened?
Before Ye Yixin could answer, Xue Yang came to Ye Yixin's side and said, "There is a dead body here." ”
Everyone was still rubbing their eyes, and when they heard Xue Yang's words, they were all stunned, but in an instant, they said again: "Xiao Ye, it's just a dead corpse, what's the fuss, you are doing archaeology, it's not good to be shocked like this." ”
Ye Yixin was about to explain, Xue Yang had already picked up a water bag from the side and handed it to Ye Yixin: "Yixin, rinse it with water for everyone, it's just a corpse that has been weathered for many years, it's nothing." ”
When he said this, everyone had already rinsed their eyes with water, and although everyone's eyes were a little red, fortunately nothing happened.
Then the group began to camp lightly, and then they ate and slept.
This night, everyone was already very tired, and soon they all began to sleep.
The next day, the crowd proposed to bury the dead body on the spot, but the proposal was stopped in the face of objections from Xue Yang and An Liman.
Professor Chen and the others are out of humanitarian ideas, but Xue Yang and An Liman know how strange things are in the desert, and one carelessness is likely to cause new dangers again.
In the evening, everyone took turns on duty, and in the middle of the night, Xue Yang was still meditating as always, and he saw that Sa Dipeng on duty was sleepy, so he stepped forward and said: "Xiao Sa, you go to sleep first, I'll be on duty." ”
Sa Dipeng said embarrassedly: "Brother Xue, but I haven't finished my duty yet." ”
Xue Yang smiled and patted Sa Dipeng's shoulder and said, "It's okay, I don't sleep much anyway, you go to sleep, nourish your spirits more, there is still a long way to go." ”
Sadipon nodded, he was very sleepy, he walked to the fire, lay down on the ground, and soon began to snor.
His voice woke up Hu Bayi, who was already sleeping very shallowly.
"Lao Hu, are you awake, come and sit down and chat for a while?"
Hu Bayi nodded, although he was also very tired during the day, but after all, he was a veteran of the real war, and his ability to endure hardships and stand hard work was very good, so although he lacked sleep at this time, he was still full of energy.
"Brother Xue, I really want to thank you this time, if you hadn't found this relic in time, I'm afraid we would have to wait there to die. ”
Xue Yang smiled: "I just have the idea of giving it a try, after all, I don't want to be buried alive in this nameless land by those wind and sand, and I still have to fight it in many cases." ”
Lao Hu nodded and sighed: "Yes, many times you have to fight, think about how hard it was when we fought back then, many times we risked our lives to fight with others for speed, bayonets, and luck, and I can live now, but it is because of that hard work again and again." ”
Xue Yang nodded: "That's right, many times, the closer you get to danger and fight against it, the more you can survive and live a more exciting life." ”
Xue Yang thought of the satisfaction in his heart when he had been in a desperate life and death with countless martial arts masters, and every success made his heart more determined, which also made him almost no longer have much fear.
"Hey, you're right, sometimes you really try harder, the more you can survive, especially on the battlefield, the more afraid you are of death, the easier it is to die. ”
Hu Bayi deeply recognized Xue Yang's cognition, and he also knew that he could only survive by working hard at some critical times.
When Lao Hu said this, his voice was a little loud, and the rest of the archaeological team slept very deeply, and they didn't feel anything, but who was in the innermost Shirley Yang was also woken up.
Shirley Yang, a Chinese girl from the United States, has darkened her skin a lot after these days of wind and sun, and although her delicate face is as beautiful as ever, the tiredness in the corners of her eyes can't be concealed.
"Mr. Xue, Mr. Hu is so interested, he still doesn't sleep so late?"
After straightening his hair that was infected by the wind and sand, Shirley Yang Shiran walked over, and then found a random place to sit down next to the two.
She didn't feel that the ground was dirty at all, and she didn't need anything to pave it, so Shi Shiran sat down.
"It's just a casual chat, and I'm really sorry to disturb Miss Yang's sleep. ”
When Xue Yang said this, his eyes naturally focused on Shirley Yang's muscles and bones, and he could see at a glance that the girl in front of him was second only to his own physical strength among all the people present.
Even Hu Bayi's combat effectiveness at this time may not be as good as her.
After all, although Hu Bayi has been a soldier, has learned military boxing, and has good physical fitness, Shirley Yang has also been mountaineering all year round and has learned many fighting techniques and self-defense techniques.
And this time in the desert, everyone else is tired and doesn't know how to adjust their physical condition, but Shirley Yang has always been able to maintain his rhythm.
Although her rhythm is nothing compared to Xue Yang, compared to others, it is much surpassed.
"It's nothing, I just don't happen to be very sleepy, speaking of which, I have always had a slight suspicion of Mr. Hu and Mr. Xue, but these days everyone gets along day and night, the ability of the two is obvious to all, and the role of the team is also great, but it seems that I am a villain. ”
When Shirley Yang said this, there was no look of apology on his face, but he was very honest about his previous suspicions about the two.
Her attitude is not only quite good for Hu Bayi, but also Xue Yang feels that although this girl has a lot of secrets, her nature is not bad, but she just does her own thing.
"Speaking of which, why does Miss Yang have to come to this exquisite ancient city?"
Hu Bayi has always been puzzled about this, because there are too many dangerous situations encountered by everyone along the way, and they are already on the verge of life and death when they are underground, and there are even more dangers hidden in the desert.
