Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 244 The Favor of the American Girl

"Are you a veteran or a scientist?"

On the camel, Shirley Yang tilted her head and asked Wei Pingan.

"Can't retired scientific researchers?"

"Perfunctory."

Xue Liyang pursed her lips, exerted her strength on her legs, and the camel under her crotch moved a little faster.

Pass Wei Ping'an and rush forward.

"Brother Wei, has this American lady taken a fancy to you..."

"Which of your nostrils do you see that American girl has a crush on me?"

"I feel like I can see the pores all over my body. It's been a long time since I took the initiative to talk to you five or six times..."

Wang Kaixuan was amazed, with an exaggerated expression.

It caused Sa Dipeng and Chu Jian to laugh.

These young people do not realize the danger of the desert at all.

Just now Ye Fang suggested that everyone sing a song together.

It's like the old birthday star eats arsenic and doesn't know whether life or death is coming.

The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is huge, and the amount of drinking water seems to be sufficient now. That's because I just came here, and the Gobi Desert has not been finished yet, so the water source is relatively easy to find.

But if they enter the real desert and encounter some accidents, I don't know if they will still have this kind of leisure and elegance.

Of course, there is plenty of water in Wei Ping'an's space. Although he won't do anything to save him, he is not stingy to let them experience the hardships and difficulties of real desert archaeology.

Let's see.

The young people of the scientific expedition team rode on the camels, not tired at all, they came up leisurely and elegantly, dreaming loudly about the future, and occasionally accompanied by singing and dancing. Did not save to drink.

After singing a red song, Chu Jian suddenly smiled when he saw An Liman who was dangling on the camel from a distance as if he was asleep.

"Didn't An Liman say that the desert is dangerous before? How dangerous is this? Look how beautiful the scenery is..."

Chu Jian held the rein in one hand, drew a circle in front of him with the other hand, and said vigorously.

"If it's more difficult and dangerous, how can you ask for more money. Isn't it, Lao Hu?"

Fatty Wang didn't like An Liman very much, and he was very worried about his character. When he heard this topic, he immediately became interested, took the bait, and followed it with sarcasm.

"Grandpa An Liman still has a way. Along the way, there are dry river marks, sporadic remnants of walls, and those plant remains. Together, these are a safe route."

Hu Bayi analyzed calmly.

"As expected of the team leader, Brother Hu, you are really careful in observing."

Sa Dipeng smiled and praised.

There are laughter and laughter here, and there is still energy to attack the guide An Liman with words.

But the situation not far away is not so easy.

After all, Professor Chen is old, and after so long bumping on the camel, his body seems to be a little bit unbearable.

"Fatty, tell the big guy to take a rest first."

Hu Bayi had been observing the situation of the whole team, and when he saw that Professor Chen Jiuren had a slightly painful expression on his face, he immediately yelled.

Hu Bayi didn't care too much about whether he could find the Jingjue Ancient City.

After all, [-] U.S. dollars and [-] U.S. dollars are huge numbers for him.

Twenty thousand is also quite satisfactory.

But everyone's safety, as the team leader, he has the responsibility to pay attention to and protect.

The camel stopped.

The main reason was that Xiao Hong, who was seated under An Liman, stopped, and those behind her also stopped.

Wei Pingan had always been the one behind the team, and jumped off the camel first.

"Xiaoye, come here."

Wei Pingan called Ye Fang over, took out a bar of chocolate from his pocket, and handed it to her.

"You ate this chocolate, the girl doesn't feel it now, and after a while, you may not be able to keep up physically."

"Oh, yes, Brother Wei."

Ye Fang took a deep look at Wei Ping'an, broke off a piece and put it in his mouth, thought for a while, and ran to Professor Chen's side again.

Although it has entered the reform and opening up, chocolate is not a rare thing, but this is not the capital, nor can it be replenished at will.

Moreover, chocolate is still a novelty in XJ, and it is not so easy to get it.

Professor Chen has also been supported by Hao Aiguo and Chu Jian to sit on the sand.

He was indeed tossed enough, but with faith and a lifetime of longing to support him, he could barely persevere.

"Chu Jian, go and check the supplies, and be careful."

Shirley Yang is not the team leader, but as the biggest benefactor, she naturally has the ability to exercise privileges, and what she said is also reasonable, but Shirley Yang is also smart.

She can't control Hu Bayi, can't command Fatty Wang, Professor Chen and Wei Pingan are not something she can arrange at will, and the rest, who can still have physical strength, is Chu Jian.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Chu Jian didn't make any rebuttals, those who can do more work, and he has enough physical strength, so he has to do this.

And the biggest problem in entering the desert is the materials. If the materials are accidentally lost, such as insufficient drinking water, they have no choice but to withdraw, and this scientific expedition will end without a problem.

"Teacher Wei, how long do you think we will have to walk to reach Jingjue Ancient City?"

Sa Dipeng asked boredly.

The professor was too formal, so he became a teacher when he entered the desert.

Changing titles at will is perhaps also a consistent characteristic of young people.

Sa Dipeng was also a little tired at the moment, panting, a little listless, maybe he saw that Chu Jian was busy, so he asked casually.

Wei Pingan's answer was very solemn: "First of all, we are not sure about the location of the ancient city of Jingjue, so we cannot accurately determine the time. Secondly, this place is not actually a real desert, and real difficulties are still ahead. Don't take it lightly."

These words made the young members of the scientific expedition team feel a little heavy.

Turning his head, Wei Pingan saw Shirley Yang looking at him not far away, so he nodded slightly as a signal.

Shirley Yang nodded back, turned and walked away.

Looking at Shirley Yang's back, Wei Pingan pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

Why is this bitch always peeping at me recently?

Is it really what the fat man said...

This is not so good.

After all, there are not many opportunities for Hu Bayi to get out of the order, and he will always engage in underground activities in the future. If he cut off Hu Bayi, it would be really hard to justify.

It's just that things like feelings can't be slapped with a single slap.

Wei Pingan always felt that Shirley Yang had a different attitude towards him since the Kunlun Glacier conflict.

But don't just look at yourself, right?
Reasonable allocation of resources is better than gathering high-quality resources.

Wei Pingan really doesn't pay much attention to the relationship between men and women.

After all, I just vented my physical strength in both Shanghai and the capital.

It can be regarded as the downturn period of the sages.

It's just that the development of things is often not restrained by anyone.

Sometimes Murphy's Law is really evil.

Wei Pingan looked at Hu Bayi with some guilt, and saw that he was still joking with Fatty Wang leisurely. This old Comrade Hu showed no signs of being in a hurry.

After pondering for a while, Wei Ping'an guessed that maybe the two people hadn't died together, so there wasn't much interaction.

Let's see for the time being.

The team stopped and went, and the skin peeled off during the day. No matter how hot everyone was, they had to cover themselves in the cloth of their clothes. At night, it was freezing cold. Even if there were tents, they could only stiffen in the second half of the night.

The laughter and laughter disappeared in the second day.

It's just that the waste of drinking water has not been slowed down.

Wei Ping'an didn't respond, didn't stop, just sat and watched.

Professor Chen Jiuren's arms and legs are old, and his physical strength can't keep up. However, the tenacity and endurance of his will are not comparable to this group of young people who have never suffered.

He was helped to get off the camel again.

Chen Jiuren sat down on the sand dune.

This place is already far away from the Gobi, and there is no grass around it, and it is full of sand dunes of a few meters, tens of meters or even tens of meters.

The experience I have learned in the past two days, I can't keep staring at the sand, I am prone to fainting, commonly known as sand sickness.

Same thing with seasickness.

Because of the help of Wei Pingan, a prospective brother-in-law, Ye Fang was able to hold on physically. After receiving the snacks from Wei Pingan, she shared half of it with Chen Jiuren.

She couldn't take care of others, even Hao Aiguo saw it, but didn't ask Ye Fang for it.

Even when Ye Fang offered to Hao Aiguo, she was declined.

This made Wei Pingan look up at Hao Aiguo again.

Although he doesn't know the ways of the world, there is nothing wrong with being a human being. He respects his teachers and he is tired all the way, but he always takes care of him by Professor Chen's side.

Sa Dipeng took a bottle of water and walked over.

"Professor Chen, wash your hands."

"No need... just."

Professor Chen Jiuren did not completely refuse, the word 'bar' revealed his inner desire to wash it off.

Not far away, Wei Ping'an pursed his lips, his expression of disapproval was obvious.

Shirley Yang looked at Wei Ping'an, then turned to look at Professor Chen Jiuren who was washing his hands.

Turned around and walked to the front of the camel team.

Quite out of sight, out of mind.

As for this old man, Uncle Chen, who was inseparable from her father and supported this archaeological trip, she could not reprimand him for any actions.

You have to silently pay for it.

In this way, the camel team walked for another two days.

Many psychological and physical barriers of human beings have been broken through the limit in these two days.

From the initial discomfort, to the subsequent torment, to the sudden relief and the half-relaxed body...

The big guy thought that he had survived the most difficult moment, and then he could go on the road normally and continue to look for the target.

Little did they know that the accident in the desert was about to come without any accident.

Waking up in the morning, the group of people who got out of the tent saw the beautiful scenery of the morning glow.

Everyone was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery and overjoyed.

On the huge sand peak in the distance, Hu Bayi and An Liman looked at Zhaoxia and talked about something.

Hu Bayi stretched out his arm and pointed at something from time to time.

"The hyacinth is coming..."

Suddenly, An Liman yelled, turned around from the sand peak and ran back. After running a few steps, he just sat down on the sand dune and slid down.

Hu Bayi followed closely behind.

An Liman ignored the crowd, ran down and ran directly to Luotuo Xiaohong, took out a carpet from the camel and spread it on the sand, and started the morning class.

This kind of behavior has become commonplace these days.

Although Professor Chen and others are all atheists, uh... except for Sa Dipeng, who is also an atheist but believes in aliens.

Everyone does not exclude others from having faith.

Even the straight-hearted Hao Aiguo would not say anything wrong about Mr. An Liman's beliefs.

Hu Bayi also ran down and walked to the crowd panting.

"What did brother An Liman say just now? It's too far away, we didn't hear clearly."

"He seems to be saying that the hyacinth is coming..."

Hu Bayi hesitated for a moment and said.

"hyacinth?"

Hao Aiguo touched his chin and said.

"Does it mean that the wind is going to blow?"

Ye Fang also spoke.

Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng may have thought of the wind blowing in the desert, and the daytime would not be so hot. Looking at each other, they both saw the relaxed smile on the other's face.

"Hurry up, hyacinth is coming..."

The group froze for a moment.

An Liman, who had laid out a blanket in a worship-like manner just now, rode on the camel quickly, and galloped towards the side and back in a joyous manner.

An Liman did not hide it, and reminded everyone while running.

From the looks of it, there was really no intention of harming the scientific expedition team.

"The sandstorm is coming, hurry up, hurry up!"

Wei Ping'an had already got on the camel when An Liman was praying, and now seeing the flustered appearance of the crowd, he shook his head involuntarily.

He didn't remind the group of people, and watched the excitement with great interest.

Shirley Yang looked at Wei Pingan from afar and shook his head, looking like he wanted to be beaten, and then looked at the crowd who packed their bags and started to climb the camels in a panic, all kinds of anxious gestures were undoubtedly revealed...

The corner of the mouth hidden in the square scarf couldn't help but curl up.

This naughty guy.

Xue Liyang saw Wei Ping'an who had just come out of the tent with her own eyes, and she didn't even stretch her waist. When she saw An Liman running down from the high ground, she immediately turned around and entered the tent. The backpack jumped on the camel. Looking back now, it turned out that he was ready to run early.

Fortunately, Shirley Yang also kept a hand, and she did what Wei Pingan did.

It was originally a subconscious following behavior, but now it has unexpectedly become a calm 'pioneer'.

At this time, Shirley Yang didn't realize what kind of situation the next sandstorm would be like, how bad it would be.

So it's not that she doesn't care about the other members of the scientific expedition team, it's just a little psychological evil.

Similar emotions to Wei Ping'an.

This incident happened accidentally and accidentally, but Shirley Yang, who grew up in the United States and advocated the idea of ​​a personal hero, directly found resonance in Wei Ping'an's behavior.

Long story short, the sandstorm came fast and furious.

The members of the scientific expedition team were no longer in a relaxed state of mind, and rode wildly on camels in embarrassment.

But the wind and sand is not something a camel can run through. You chase each other, but it is getting closer and closer.

The two brothers Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan keenly discovered that the members of the scientific expedition team were almost exhausted and could not hold on any longer.

"Stop, stop, so we can't run away at all, we have to find a way to avoid it..."

Hu Bayi broke his throat by shouting, but he could only make a faint sound.

There was no other way, the wind and sand had arrived, and everyone knew that it was useless to run.

In the current situation, even though he knew that stopping would be more risky, he still had to stop.

However, as soon as the team stopped, Hao Aiguo and others discovered that Professor Chen had disappeared.

An Liman was still riding on the camel Xiaohong's hump, hesitating.

He considered whether to abandon the group of people and escape alone, or stay and figure out a way with them.

If it weren't for Wei Ping'an, An Liman wouldn't even hesitate, and would definitely run away.

"Fatty, keep an eye on An Liman, I'll go back and find Professor Chen."

Hu Bayi shouted at the top of his voice, but his voice was too soft to be heard.

"Old Hu, don't worry, the old boy can't run away, I'll just go over and watch."

Wang Kaixuan struggled to turn his body in a different direction, and climbed on all fours in the direction of An Liman.
