Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

"Beautiful, right?"

Su Mu and Shirley Yang stood side by side on the edge of the sand dune, looking at the rising sun not far away.

"Mm, it's so beautiful."

Shirley Young sighed.

Girls love beautiful scenery and they can’t move their legs when looking at it.

After watching for a while, Sumu went to find old man Anliman.

The old man was whispering to his camel, Xiaohong.

But Hu Bayi found Anliman first.

"Old man, the weather doesn't look normal. As the saying goes, if the morning glow is bright, you won't go out, but if the evening glow is bright, you can travel a thousand miles. I'm afraid the weather will change next, right?"

An Liman glanced at the fiery red sky and sighed worriedly: "Maybe God is angry. The wind is going to blow."

Anliman glanced at the people resting on the sand not far away, and looked at Hu Bayi with a very serious look.

"Comrade Xiao Hu, do you still want to move forward?"

"Old man, how many times have you led people back halfway?"

Hu Bayi smiled easily, and he was smart enough to see through An Liman's scheming.

"To be honest, you are the ones who have gone the deepest. But this is not the deepest part of the desert, it's just the Gobi Desert. The real black desert is more powerful than you can imagine. Once you go in, it will be difficult to get out alive."

"Don't try to persuade us, old man. Let's find a water source nearby. We didn't expect the water consumption to be so high. We need to replenish it as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, it's easy here. If we really enter the black desert, we won't be able to find water~"

Hu Bayi shook his head and smiled without comment.

Su Mu happened to arrive at this moment.

"Grandpa Anliman, is it going to be windy?"

"Yes, it's going to be windy, very strong."

Hu Bayi listened, then turned around and went to the expedition team's rest area, informing Professor Chen and others of the impending wind.

"Comrade Xiao Hu, you are the leader, we all listen to you."

Professor Chen and Professor Hao took the lead in expressing this.

They thought about it and felt that although Mr. Su was very famous, he didn't seem to be very interested in their cultural backbone. When it really came to the critical moment, their professorial title was not much better than that of ordinary people.

There is no special status or identity reflected at all.

But it's different with Hu Bayi. At least I can feel that he respects me and others more.

So the two professors considered it again and again, and after careful discussion, they secretly nominated Hu Bayi to be the leader among leaders, and "removed" Su Mu's leadership in other areas.

"In that case, Professor Chen, we shouldn't rest too much during the day. We need to rush to the ruins of the ancient city of Xicheng as soon as possible to avoid the sandstorm."

According to the previously planned route, they need to rush to the destination to use the ruins of the city wall to prevent being buried by sandstorms.

The scientific expedition team continued its journey.

This time I hardly rested and ran until the afternoon, passing the hottest and most scorching peak in the desert.

A gentle breeze began to blow in the distance.

But some members of the scientific expedition team could no longer muster the energy to speak.

They were all exhausted.

Professor Chen was trembling while sitting on the camel's hump and almost fell off several times.

"Captain Xiao Hu, Captain Xiao Hu, let's take a break. We have been walking for several hours. Can we take a short break before continuing on our journey?"

Professor Hao suggested loudly.

His lips had long been cracked and his voice was hoarse.

Fortunately, Hu Bayi heard it.

He said a few words to Anliman.

Anliman was not satisfied at all. He looked behind him, and his worried expression became even more serious.

Wang Kaixuan didn't care about that. Without Su Mu's order, he just followed Hu Bayi's lead.

When Lao Hu said it was time to take a rest, he rushed to the front, jumped off the camel, and grabbed the reins of Anliman's camel.

Anliman had no choice but to stop and rest.

The scientific expedition team was collectively defeated.

After finally getting a rest, he quickly climbed down from the camel's hump, sat down to catch his breath, then gulped down the water bottle.

There is no need to worry about the shortage of drinking water.

"The bodies of these intellectuals...Alas~"

Su Mu shook his head slightly.

Shirley Yang pursed her lips.

"Shirley, what do you think?"

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Shirley Yang was really fine, but Su Mu cared about her and took the initiative to ask about her, which made her very happy.

Ye Shuxin no longer cared about these things.

Sitting on the camel's hump all the way, without Sumu's care, with her small body, the combined effects of the camel's bumps and the desert temperature were enough to make her suffer.

Let alone romance at this moment, climbing down from the hump had already exhausted her remaining strength.

The little girl and Professor Chen were competing in misery. Well, they were equally matched.

Anliman took out a blanket from the backpack beside Xiaohong.

This is the felt he uses to perform religious worship every day.

This old man is very interesting. He talks about gods and Buddhas, Jesus and God, and occasionally he even mentions Taoists and gods...

In his words, you worship whoever is useful. There is no fixed big brother. When something happens, you worship the big brother who is closest to you.

It’s quite interesting.

"What is this old man doing? He keeps talking nonsense all day long..."

The fat man muttered to Lao Hu.

He looked down upon Anliman more and more.

It’s not right to say that, it seems that Wang Kaixuan looked down on Anliman from the very beginning.

I feel that this is not a desert living map, but a desert living liar.

He had been keeping a close eye on Anliman, just to get a chance to expose him.

Revealing the old liar.

Sudden.

Anliman quickened the pace of rolling up the blanket.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were confused, and so were the members of the scientific expedition team who were slumped on the ground beside them.

They all saw that Anliman's movements were getting faster, so fast that he didn't look like an old man, but they were all indifferent.

Su Mu took a look, then jumped off the camel and ran towards Ye Shuxin.

Anliman mounted the camel Xiaohong, swung the reins, took a slow breath, and shouted, "Hurry up, run faster, Hyacinthus is coming!"

Hyacinthus is a precursor to tornadoes.

The group of people then realized what was happening and turned their heads to look behind them.

In the distant sky, a huge dust storm had been raised at some point, sweeping over like it covered the sky and the sun.

Only then did everyone react.

Su Mu picked up Ye Shuxin by the waist, put her on the camel, and tied her tightly to the camel's hump with two wide hemp ropes.

Keep her from falling off during the next bump.

Su Mu finished all this, pulled the reins to make Ye Shuxin's camel stand up and follow the lead camel Xiaohong.

When I turned around and ran towards my camel, I heard Professor Chen shouting, "My glasses fell off, someone help me pick them up..."

This time, even Hu Bayi, who was still on the sand and had not yet climbed onto the camel, pretended not to hear.

Compared to life, a pair of glasses is nothing.

And it's not even your own.

Sumu took a step and jumped onto the camel easily.

He jumped off the camel just now and did not wait for the camel to kneel down. At this moment, his camel was running forward with the troops, and Sumu jumped on the camel while moving.

If he wants to show off, he can take two steps in the air and do a flying step.

But he didn't.

Because he is handsome enough now.

The uncle's charm is invincible.

Didn’t you see that Shirley Yang’s eyes were filled with peach blossoms?

The camel caravan sped up, trying to get to a safe distance before the huge sandstorm hit.

However, reality did not allow them to do as they wished.

As the scientific expedition team members were running, one of them was missing.

Professor Chen fell off the camel at some point and disappeared.

In Hu Bayi's mind, this is a comrade-in-arms, a colleague, and the head of the scientific expedition team, the official top card. If he loses it, the pressure and situation will be very complicated. After all, he has been a company commander, and his idea is different from Fatty's only consideration of Shirley Yang, the financial sponsor, is that it will be fine if he doesn't lose it.

"Fatty, stop Anliman for me. I want to go back and find Professor Chen."

"Old Hu, the sandstorm is so strong, I don't know where I lost it, I can't find it."

"No, I'll go back and look for him. You have to stop Anliman for me no matter what."

"Yes."

The fat man roared and urged the camel under him to move forward.

Su Mu really didn't care about Professor Chen's situation. He was only concerned about Shirley Yang who was at ease beside him and Ye Shuxin who was already dizzy from the bumpy ride but was firmly fixed on the camel because of the rope.

Finally, the camel caravan stopped when the fat man pounced and knocked Anliman off the camel.

This is the desert, the sand is soft.

That is to say, people were more simple in the 80s.

Otherwise, if Anliman, an old man, was tormented by the fat man, two Mercedes-Benzes would not be enough to solve the problem.

The camel caravan stopped.

Su Mu helped Ye Shuxin untie herself.

"Brother Su, you take care of the old man. I'll go pick up Old Hu."

The fat man shouted.

Whenever there is a critical moment of crisis, Fatty will burst out his inner strength and save Hu Bayi from danger.

This time it was a sandstorm with a visibility of 5cm.

The gay love between the two is truly touching.

Su Mu gave Wang Kaixuan a thumbs up.

then……

At the critical moment, Shirley Yang discovered the ruins of buildings and walls blown away by the approaching sandstorm.

"Su...Brother, over there!"

Shirley Yang called him brother, but she was still a little unfamiliar and not very fluent.

It seems that in order to speak clearly and fluently, the two people need an in-depth contact with each other that is open and honest.

Not in a hurry.

Sumu has plenty of time.

Just at this moment, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan helped Professor Chen rush out of the sandstorm.

"Let's go over there. There is a ruined city."

At the critical moment, the scientific expedition team found a place to shelter from the wind and sand, and with extreme pulling, they were able to temporarily turn danger into safety.

"Under the current circumstances, if the sandstorm continues for two days, we will be buried alive here..."

Hu Bayi looked exhausted and helpless.

"What do we do now?"

"Yes, Captain Xiao Hu, you decide what we should do next."

Intellectuals also value their lives.

When they find themselves in danger of being buried in the yellow sand and dying, they all look unwilling to accept the situation.

"From now on, we can only leave it to fate. But for this place, we also need to arrange someone to keep watch at night, to watch over the roof and a few corners. In case the wind and sand are too strong, wake us up in time to clean up the space..."

Hu Bayi thought for a moment and began to arrange the order of duty for everyone.

The atmosphere of the entire scientific expedition team seemed very solemn and heavy.

This is not a crisis that arises suddenly, but a life-and-death race that is slowly approaching.

And it's the kind that leaves everyone at a loss and unable to fight back.

It's like the difference between cutting the Gordian knot and having a sharp blade slowly approaching your eyeball.

The latter brought heavy pressure to the entire scientific expedition team, which cannot be described in words.

"This won't do. We have to find a way to liven up the atmosphere."

The fat man whispered to Hu Bayi.

"Some chicken blood."

Su Mu said succinctly: "Old Hu, come here this time to tell us some interesting stories about the army and encourage us..."

After Su Mu finished speaking, he walked towards Shirley Yang.

He saw that there was something wrong with Shirley Yang.

Keep rubbing your eyes.

"what happened?"

"The wind and sand blinded my eyes just now, but I'm fine, I just need to rub them."

"Come on, stop being stubborn at this hour. Let me help you take a look..."

Su Mu handed the kettle hanging around his waist to Shirley Yang.

The silence speaks.

Shirley Yang subconsciously took the kettle, unscrewed the lid, and helped Su Mu clear his four fingers.

Su Mu was just pretending, as he could remain unscathed by any dirt on his body.

I pulled open Shirley Yang's eyelids and took a closer look at her long and thick eyelashes.

Not glued false eyelashes, but natural and pure.

The two were very close to each other.

Each of them could feel the rebound of their breath hitting each other's face.

The inexplicable ambiguity just started to grow and became stronger.

Su Mu found a few grains of sand hiding in the corners of his eyes and pretended to blow them away.

The actual sand was taken away in an instant.

Su Mu took advantage of the situation and kissed Shirley Yang on the cheek.

boo~
Mmm~!

Shirley Yang subconsciously raised her hand to push it out.

"Do not move."

Su Mu stopped him with righteous words.

Shirley Yang did as she was told.

She was subconsciously protecting herself, and after realizing it was Su Mu, she gave up the idea of ​​resisting.

I can't even hug you, so why would I turn you away?

The movement froze there.

The people gathered around the fire not far away all looked over at the same time.

"If you get blinded by sand, don't rub your eyes after blowing it out. Wait for a while for the tears to seep out and they will heal automatically. If you can't help rubbing your eyes, it will only get worse. Remember that?"

Su Mu spoke in a clear and loud voice, giving serious instructions.

"Got it, thank you."

Shirley Yang whispered her thanks.

Not far away, the campfire discussion started again and the atmosphere became lively again.

Ye Shuxin turned her head and pouted subconsciously.

It feels like my own big pig's trotter is getting restless and it seems like I can't keep it anymore.

Subconsciously, he picked up a branch from the ground and played with it in his hand.

"Miss Xiaoye, what are you holding in your hand?"

Chu Jian suddenly asked.

Ye Shuxin looked down, was stunned for two seconds, then she let out an "ah" and her face changed color with fear.

He also threw the bones in his hand away.

"Miss Xiaoye, are you kidding? How can a student of archaeology like you be so frightened by a piece of bone?"

Wang Kaixuan joked and laughed in an attempt to ease the atmosphere.

Hu Bayi pulled it.

What the fat man said is really inappropriate.

really.

Xiao Ye immediately stood up and solemnly apologized to Professor Chen and Professor Hao.

"I'm sorry, Professor Chen, teacher, I, I, it really happened suddenly, I was not mentally prepared in advance, I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, it's okay, this is human nature, I understand, Xiaoye, don't feel any psychological burden."

Professor Chen is as kind as ever.

Professor Hao had a cold face and didn't say a word.

After all, Xiao Ye was not their student, and Professor Hao had only taught Ye Shuxin an elective appreciation course.

It’s hard to say more. (End of this chapter)
