For the rest of their lives, the members of the archaeological team were all yellow-faced and confined to a large house with a broken roof.Although the ancient city has walls to protect it from the wind and sand, those walls are broken in some places, and a large amount of sand has been blown into the city by the wind over the years, and the broken houses are full of fine sand, which is more than two meters thick.This big house of refuge was relatively tall, and even so, it still had to be bent on its waist, and if you looked up slightly, you would hit the wooden beams above.As soon as Laura entered the house, she scanned her surroundings and found a pile of white bones on the ground and the anthill of desert marching ants.These anthills are not big on the outside, and it is difficult for ordinary people to spot, but they can't hide from Laura's scanning.Discovering the hidden danger, Laura immediately informed Xiao Li of what she had scanned.Professor Chen, Ye Yixin, Hao Aiguo and other people with poor physical fitness sat on the ground when they entered the house, took out the kettle and drank it, looking frightened.Wang Fatzi let out a breath of air and said with a smile: "Our fate has been picked up." ”Xiao Li heard Laura's report, his eyes swept up the house, knowing that there was a nest of a large number of marching ants below, he was not afraid, but he was just thinking about whether to tell everyone.Hu Ba saw it at a glance, saw Xiao Li's expression was different, and asked, "Brother Xiao Li, is there anything wrong with this room?"
”When Wang Kaixuan, Sa Dipeng, Chu Jian and others heard this, they also looked at Xiao Li.Xiao Li thought for a moment and pointed to a bone exposed in the yellow sand: "There are desert marching ants in this place, everyone try to be quiet." ”"What is a desert marching ant?"
Wang Fatzi asked.Laura explained like a textbook: "The desert marching ant has a black body, a blood-red tail, and an ordinary soldier ant the size of a knuckle, and thousands of marching ants are invincible in the desert. ”When Wang Fatzi heard this, he exclaimed: "My Di Niang, then this place can't stay, let's leave quickly." ”Ye Yixin, Satipeng and others shuddered when they heard this, they thought that this was the shelter given to them by God, but they didn't expect it to be the canteen of the marching ants."
Fatty, be quiet."
Hu Bayi covered Wang Kaixuan's mouth, and said angrily: "Go, where are you going, there is a black sandstorm outside, and if you go out, you will die." ”Xiao Li said: "Now the sandstorm is blowing, these marching ants will not come out, when the sandstorm stops, we will leave, there will be no problem, if you find a small number of marching ants appear, don't panic, just step on it, if there are many of them, it is not too late for us to go out again." ”Having said that, An Liman, Ye Yixin and the others still seemed very nervous, but because of the weather, they could only stay in the house."
Laura, you watch in the room, fat man, Chu Jian, Satiepeng, you go out with me to pick up some firewood."
Xiao Li greeted and walked out first.There is a big temperature difference between day and night in the desert, and at night, if you don't light a fire, it is easy to get sick, especially for people with weak physiques like Professor Chen, once they get sick, it will become very troublesome!
The sand outside the house was covered with artemisia seeds, which was a kind of hay, Xiao Li plucked some of them, returned to the broken house, took out solid fuel, and lit a small fire to keep everyone warm.Knowing the presence of marching ants, the members of the archaeological team were wary and cautiously watched their surroundings.Xiao Li boiled a pot of hot water, took out a piece of the meat of the overlord salamander from the ring, sliced it with the dragon sword, and put it in the pot to stew the soup.At this time, he had already entered the depths of the desert, and Xiao Li did not need to deliberately hide it anymore.Wronged no one can be wronged their belly is not.Wang Fatzi asked curiously, "Brother Xiao Li, what kind of meat is this?"
Where did you conjure it up?
”Seeing Xiao Li take out a large piece of fresh meat out of thin air like a trick, Satipeng, Hu Bayi and others were curious about how he did it?
But they weren't too surprised, maybe they had seen too much magic about Xiao Li, even if Xiao Li said that he was an immortal, they would probably believe it for seven or eight points."
The meat of the overlord salamander is delicious, the nutritional value is extremely high, it is non-toxic and pollution-free, it is just right for everyone to replenish their physical strength, as for how to make it, this question is more complicated, and you don't understand it."
As Xiao Li spoke, he took out some seasonings and side dishes and put them in the pot.After a while, the aroma was overflowing, and everyone sat around the fire chatting with each other, Shirley Yang walked into the dilapidated house and said solemnly: "I found some wolf footprints on the side of this wall just now."
Wang Fatzi didn't care: "Don't you say I forgot, just now on the wall outside, I saw six or seven yellow sheep."
An Liman glanced at Xiao Li with some fear, and then said worriedly: "You only see the yellow sheep now, maybe there are wolves and leopards hidden, now, there is a sandstorm in the sky, and the animals on the ground are frightened, and after the sandstorm passes, you will find that the wolf and the sheep are hiding in a room, at that time, it is a wolf, and it should be bared teeth."
It's a yellow sheep, and it's time to stick out the horns on its head. ”"What are you afraid of, with Xiao Li's little brother here, it doesn't matter if he is a wolf or a leopard, in front of the little brother, it is a dish."
Wang Fatzi gave a thumbs up and said this, and the archaeological team members thought that Xiao Li had easily controlled the fire ladybugs to eliminate the wolves before, and it would not be a problem to deal with some wild wolves and leopards, and their hearts were relieved.Hu Ba nodded: "The fat man is right, with Xiao Li's little brother here, don't be afraid of any cows, ghosts, snakes and gods, I'm still more worried about when this sandstorm will pass, we only entered the desert on the first day, and we encountered a sandstorm that has not been encountered in a century, and now everyone understands the power of the desert!"
Professor Chen slowed down for a while, regained some physical strength, and forced a smile: "Let's call fighting with the sky and the earth, it's endless fun!"
Xiao Li rolled his eyes when he heard this.Just your old bones, you still want to fight the heavens and the earth, if Laura hadn't brought you up earlier, you would have gone to hell to fight the ghosts by now.The scene of Xiao Li rolling his eyes happened to be seen by Shirley Yang on the other side, usually Xiao Li was a cold and mysterious look, but now he suddenly made this kind of childish move, which made Shirley Yang feel a little funny at the same time, but also a little more intimate.After a while, the broth was cooked, and Ye Yixin served a bowl to Xiao Li, and Xiao Li took care of them very much along the way, and they naturally remembered it.Professor Chen was the second, and after taking a sip of the delicious broth, Professor Chen was in a lot of spirits and put down the soup bowl: "In the past, I worked in the field all the year round, and then I was locked up in the cowshed, and then I went to the labor camp to dig stones.But now that I'm old, I'm useless!
Today, thanks to Comrade Xiao Li and Miss Laura, if it weren't for you, my old bones might have to be left in the desert and dried into mummies, thank you!
Thank you!
”As he spoke, Professor Chen arched his hand to the two."
Professor Chen is welcome, since he has taken this errand, he is naturally responsible for everyone's safety."
Xiao Li helped Professor Chen up.To be honest, the members of these archaeological teams are very old-fashioned, and their tempers are more stubborn than the other, and they are a burden to the group.But they are sincere and kind, and they like the spirit and perseverance of research, which still makes Xiao Li awe-inspired.Laura was expressionless and didn't pay any attention to it.The people in the archaeological team along the way knew Laura's "personality", so they didn't care.Ye Yixin kindly brought a bowl and handed it to An Liman, but the old man would rather gnaw on the jerky than resolutely refrain from eating it, as if he was afraid of being poisoned.Hu Bayi ate a piece of meat, felt that the meat was delicate and extremely delicious, ate a bowl in three or two, put the bowl down, swept his eyes over the members of the archaeological team, and then said: "The harshness of the desert, I believe everyone has experienced it, if we continue to walk, we will enter the center of the Black Desert, where the environment is even more cruel than now, to be honest, I am worried that your physical condition cannot support it!"
Professor Chen didn't know about his own physical condition, but he dedicated his whole life to the archaeological profession and had long put life and death out of the question."
I understand, you don't have to worry about me, my life is for archaeology, besides, this kind of rare sandstorm is not encountered in a hundred years, it will not happen often, since we have avoided it, we will have a blessing!"
Hearing Professor Chen say this, Hu Bayi knew that the other party would not give up on the Yellow River, so he could only sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.After eating and drinking, the group spread out the sleeping mats and slept in turns, leaving two people to guard at the entrance in case anything happened.The first is to prevent being buried by wind and sand.The second is the fear of being attacked by marching ants and other wild animals.Nuqing Chicken stayed by Xiao Li's side, very peaceful.A red-black ant crawled out of the sand and slowly crawled towards Xiao Li, who was meditating, and the angry chicken with slightly squinted eyes pecked at it.He swallowed it with a croak, then continued to squint his eyes and doze.
