Chapter 33: The Vigil
"Dead corpses?" Ma Bin complained while rubbing his eyes: "I said Yixin, what are you doing with a corpse? Are we archaeologists still afraid of dead corpses?"
Ye Yixin's eyes also entered the sand, and he covered the top of his head that hit the roof beam and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm ...... I just didn't expect there to be dead people in this house, and my mind was not fully prepared...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”
At this time, An Yi had already withdrawn his gaze, and he didn't feel anything unusual on the corpse, so he wasn't worried. The rest of the people also opened their eyes, took out the kettle, and rinsed it with water for a few people who were dazzled by it.
The members of the archaeological team, except for An Liman old man, are often dealing with ancient corpses, and no one is afraid, but they are a little puzzled by the death of this human skeleton here, the dead in the desert rarely decay, most of them are dried into mummies by natural air, but there is no skin and flesh on this white bone, maybe it is eaten up by the sand wolf.
But Anliman thinks this is not surprising: " The white camel didn't run in to avoid the big sandstorm, we were spared thanks to following it, this desert is different from the half-desert and half-Gobi with Loulan ruins Yadan wonders, people enter the black desert in the west, only dare to go from the route of the ancient channel of the Peacock River, do not dare to deviate at all, by ourselves, it is impossible to find the ruins of this castle, but the animals in the desert are different, this ruined city, must be a refuge given by Hu Da to the animals in the desert, we don't see, behind those broken houses and broken walls, maybe there are many sand wolves hiding in refuge, yellow sheep, sand leopards...... Well, there is a big sandstorm in the sky at this time, and the animals on the ground are frightened, and no one can take care of anyone, and after the sandstorm passes, maybe there will be wolves and yellow sheep hiding in a room, and then the wolf should have their teeth out, and the yellow sheep should stick out the horns on their heads. ”
Hearing that there are still a lot of wild beasts hiding in these dilapidated houses, Ye Yixin and a few other timid people are a little nervous, An Liman is also worried about the camels hiding behind the broken city wall, he has to brave the sandstorm to go out and tie the camels, it seems that this big sandstorm will not stop for a while, and I don't know how long it will take to spend in this big house, so Wu Meng, Ma Bin, and Qin Xueming also went out with him, and by the way, they moved in the food and fuel sleeping bags.
The four of them put on goggles and covered their mouths, noses and ears with turbans, and climbed through the holes in the roof. After smoking two cigarettes, they came back, their bodies were full of sand, Wu Meng tore off the headscarf and goggles, and sat down on the ground: "Damn, this wind is blowing, if it weren't for the four of us pulling each other, we would have been able to blow it to the sky, but the old man didn't get to us, when we passed by a broken wall, there were six or seven yellow sheep hidden behind it, and when the wind was lighter, I took a gun to shoot two, let's eat fresh meat, it's all dried meat these days, and it's annoying to eat." ”
When An Liman heard this, he resolutely disagreed: "No, no, no, as soon as you shoot, the sound of that gunshot, it will scare away all the beasts hiding in the city, they will run out, and they will all be buried alive in the devil's black sandstorm, we are the same as those animals, we are all Hu Da Kai, so we can come here to hide, you can't be like this." ”
Wu Meng rolled his eyes violently and said, "Come on, you hurry up and stop, don't I just say that, I will summon you to say so much, can I continue to eat jerky?" Hu Da and his old man won't even let us eat jerky, right?"
After fleeing for more than half a day in the desert, and now trapped in the ruins of this nameless ancient city by a sandstorm, everyone was frightened all the way, and now they are all hungry and fierce, and after resting, they all began to gobble up.
After eating, Professor Hao said, "Let's bury the bones of the victim in the corner, and put it there like that, and everyone is uncomfortable." ”
Ma Bin said: "Professor, you are old, rest more, let's come." As he spoke, he greeted An Yi: "Hey, what about you, aren't you the captain, I haven't seen you any captain this way, so don't hurry up and show xiàn now." ”
An Yi raised his eyebrows, there were thorns in his words, but he didn't speak. Of course, it didn't move.
When Chen Jie saw it, regardless of her physical fatigue, she stood up and said to Ma Bin: "It's better for me to come with you, I asked Mr. An to lead the team, how can I let him do these little things." ”
Ma Bin snorted and said, "I see that you have all been deceived by him, what kind of gods, ghosts, what kind of society are you now, and you still believe in that ......"
"Ma Bin, what do you mean!" Xu Hui was reluctant at this time: "He is my uncle, do you even suspect me!"
Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Hao Jingwen hurriedly spoke: "Okay, okay, don't make any noise, Mr. An, we can naturally trust it, Ma Bin, you are still young, and you don't know a lot of things." If you don't want to do it, I'll do it. As he spoke, he got up and cleaned up the bones.
Ma Bin said with a smile: "What are you talking about, professor, how can I not want to, you rest first, I'll go." After speaking, he glared at An Yi fiercely.
"Xueming, come with me. Ma Bin didn't want to do it himself, but he was naturally embarrassed to let them suffer, and he was not familiar with Wu Meng, he only knew that he was a special soldier, so he didn't have much conversation, not to mention that Wu Meng had a gun in his hand, he really didn't dare to offend. Although the people in the archaeological team were all assigned a pistol, and he also had it in his hand, there was naturally no need to mention the marksmanship, and even whether he dared to shoot or not, after all, he was just an ordinary person.
Seeing this, Xu Hui pursed her lips disdainfully, moved to An Yi's side and whispered: "Uncle Shi, don't be angry, it's not worth being angry with him, you know all day long, and I don't like him either." If he hadn't hugged Professor Hao's thigh tightly this time, Xiaojie wouldn't have planned to take him with him. ”
An Yi nodded in response, but she was surprised in her heart, this Chen Jie seems to have a bit of power.
Before he could think deeply, Chen Jie also came up at this time and said apologetically: "Mr. An, I'm sorry, I really didn't expect him to have an opinion on you, otherwise, I'll let Uncle Hao talk about him in a while......"
"No need!" interrupted An Yi with a wave of his hand.
Soon, the bones of the victims were cleaned up, and now in such bad weather, of course, it is impossible to bury them outside, so they can only dig up the yellow sand on the spot and bury the bones of the victims. He had no clothes on him, nothing to prove his identity, not even a makeshift tombstone.
Hao Jingwen looked at his watch, it was already evening, and the black sandstorm outside still did not stop, but had more and more fierce momentum, maybe it would blow all night. And he called them to sleep, and took turns keeping vigil.
Girls naturally don't need it, and Professor Hao and An Liman won't bother them when they are old, so there are only four people: An Yi, Qin Xueming, Ma Bin, and Wu Meng.
That Ma Bin is worthy of being a shrewd person, Zhang Luo kept watch for the first period of time, you must know that the later this vigil is, the more uncomfortable it is, especially in the early morning, and in the middle.
An Yi is very unlucky, ranking in the penultimate paragraph, but this is really nothing for him, at this time, his Yuan Shen is basically stable, even if he doesn't sleep for seven or eight days, it's nothing, not to mention that his cultivation is equivalent to sleeping, and he is cultivating almost all the time, and there is no problem.
When it was Anyi's turn to keep vigil, there was no need for Qin Xueming, who was in front of him, to call him, he would wake up automatically, Qin Xueming said hello to him, and went to sleep without much nonsense.
And An Yi came to the corner of the wall to take Qin Xueming's place, but his eyes seemed to be slightly closed, as if he was asleep.
After about an hour, suddenly a slight sound of footsteps came from his ears, and An Yi suddenly opened his eyes, but saw that it was Wu Meng walking towards this side.
Facing An Yi's surprised eyes, Wu Meng explained: "I just woke up, and anyway, it was almost time for me to go to the sentry, so I didn't fall asleep again." ”
An Yi nodded, and before he could speak, he heard Wu Meng sigh: "Originally, I was the same as Ma Bin, and I had doubts about you being the captain, but in terms of the situation just now, I am still three or four meters away from you, and I am already very controlled by the footsteps, but I am still being seen by you, and I can't do this." "He's also honest.
An Yi nodded and smiled: "It's nothing, there is too much sand in here, and my hearing is a little more sensitive than ordinary people, so I can show it." "Because this Wu Meng is honest, An Yi's senses for him are not bad.
Wu Meng held the rifle in his arms in case a wild beast suddenly jumped in and hurt people, sat down against the wall, took out a box of cigarettes and handed it to An Yi: "Do you smoke?"
An Yi took one in his hand and nodded in thanks: "I haven't smoked it for a long time, and now it's just time to taste the aftertaste." "He hasn't touched a cigarette since he was reborn, and when he sees it now, he misses it a little.
The two of them smoked while listening to the wind outside, and were silent for a while.
In the end, it was Wu Meng who interrupted: "I don't know how many dangerous traps are hidden in the depths, and the thought of Professor Hao and them going to go deeper into the desert is really a headache!"
An Yi was surprised and asked, "What's the matter, you are also the bodyguard they hired?"
Wu Meng nodded and said, "Sort of, the family is in urgent need of money, so I will take on this dangerous errand......"
This must be a person with a story! An Yi keenly captured the sadness that flashed in Wu Meng's eyes, and thought in his heart.
I only heard Wu Meng continue: "This desert looks very calm on the surface, and when there is no wind, the whole earth seems to be covered with golden silk satin, but under this calm surface, the quicksand that has swallowed countless people and animals, the ever-changing wind and sand, and all kinds of animals and plants in the desert are all factors that threaten the safety of the expedition team......
An Yi nodded when he heard this, and couldn't help but regret that he had waded into this troubled water for an unknown thing of unknown origin and unknown function.
ps: I almost fell into the pit and couldn't get out.,These are really a little water.,Sorry...... The next chapter is trying to get it back (I'm embarrassed to ask for a recommendation for the water......!)
