When they heard that Hu Ba was going to tell a story, everyone's attention was drawn over.
Huba said while eating beef jerky,"" Once, we were connected to a difficult mission to occupy Hill 306.
......”
The others were a little excited when they heard that. They even began to care about the situation at the front line.
"What Old Hu means is that as long as we have confidence, we will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties!" Zhang Ruitong was speechless.”
"What Lord Zhang said is exactly what I wanted to express." Hu Bayi smiled awkwardly.”
Only then did the others understand what he meant.
"I've been in the desert for decades, but I've never heard of anyone who can predict a black sandstorm." An Liman laughed disdainfully.”
"We'll see if it's true tomorrow!" Zhang Ruitong said.”
They gathered together and ate some dry rations. After everyone finished eating, Salipeng and the others picked up the corpses and piled them up beside them, intending to bury them directly.
In such bad weather, it was impossible to bury them outside.
He found a place to dig up the sand.
After digging a few times, the shovel seemed to have hit a rock.
"Professor Chen, there seems to be a rock below.”Salipon stopped his shovel and looked at Professor Chen.
"Why is there a rock below?"
" This castle is at least seven to eight meters tall," Hu Bayi said." A large amount of sand was buried here before. It's impossible to dig up so little stone."”
Seeing the smooth black stone, Zhang Ruitong said,"I don't think so. This is obviously a very important building in this ancient city. There should be statues in the sand.”
Professor Chen wiped his glasses and put them back on. At this time, Salipeng had already dug out Stone's head again.
He continued to dig, revealing the head of a stone statue.
It had a round head and two big olive-shaped eyes.
As the eyes were too big, they occupied a large proportion of the statue.
After examining the statue carefully, Professor Chen said,"Aiguo, have we seen this statue somewhere before?”
Hao Aiguo put on his glasses and said," It's true. A thousand-coffin tomb was unearthed in Xinjiang. There was a statue exactly like this in the tomb."
The eyes were very prominent, unlike ordinary statues. This should be called a giant pupil stone statue.”
Professor Chen nodded his head repeatedly. At the same time, he explained to everyone that this stone statue had appeared in other places.
"According to historical records, Kublai Khan once had a secret palace in the desert of the Western Regions. The 'Fragrance Palace', this kind of stone statue was once worshipped in the Fragrance Palace!”
Zhang Ruitong was not very interested in his introduction.
He already knew about this, so he didn't continue listening.
He dug up all the sand and revealed the statue.
When the three students of the archeological team saw the giant pupil stone statue, they took a pen washi and began to record it.
After the archeological team finished studying the statue, everyone stayed where they were and prepared to take an afternoon nap.
Xue Li Yang glanced at Ye Yixin on the other side and then at Zhang Ruitong.
"Can I lean on your shoulder?"
Zhang Ruitong was a little surprised that she suddenly took the initiative.
"Of course, go ahead!" He took the initiative to move his shoulder closer.
Seeing that Zhang Ruitong did not refuse, Xue Li smiled imperceptibly.
Her initiative had received a response, which at least proved that Zhang Ruitong did not hate her. She felt much more at ease.
Seeing Xue Li Yang's breathing gradually calm down, Zhang Ruitong placed his hand on her shoulder naturally. It was surprisingly comfortable.
Time flew by, and the sky outside was almost dark.
He glanced at his watch. Three hours had passed.
Professor Chen stood up to solve his personal problem and saw the two of them leaning against each other.
He was still wondering when these two started dating.
He sighed in his heart. Young people these days were really open-minded. They hugged each other in public.
The sky outside gradually darkened. Hu Bayi suddenly walked over.
In the middle of the night, An Liman woke up again and sneaked out to take a look at the camel.
However, his movement woke Zhang Ruitong up.
Zhang Ruitong walked to the entrance and said to Hu Bayi,"Old Hu, you've been here for four hours. It's my turn.”
Hu Ba stretched and immediately thanked him,"Thank you. I'll sleep first, and I'll take over from you later!”
Zhang Ruitong said," I'll handle the situation outside. Someone has to keep an eye on this house too. This roof is very dangerous and could collapse at any time."”
After saying that, he sat at the entrance and took Hu Bayi's place.
Seeing that he was there, Hu Bayi also went to sleep in peace.
The night watch was a rotation, and almost everyone had to watch over this side for a while.
When Xue Li Yang woke up, she saw that Zhang Ruitong was not by her side. She looked around and saw that he was keeping watch.
She got up and sat down beside him again.
"You don't seem to be curious about why we have to find the Ancient City of Jingjue," she said.”
Zhang Ruitong looked into her eyes and said,"Is it because of your family's hereditary disease?”
Hearing this, Xue Li Yang subconsciously touched her shoulder." How did you know?”
Could it be that he saw the pattern on his shoulder?
"Since I know the route to Jingjue Ancient City, I naturally have a certain understanding of your Taklama Race!" Zhang Ruitong chuckled.”
The Taklama Clan had appeared in Jingjue Ancient City earlier than the Ghost Cave Clan, but because they had peeped into the secrets of the Ghost Cave, the entire clan had been cursed.
Xue Li Yang also felt that what he said was reasonable.
She continued,"I've dreamed of Jingjue Ancient City more than once!”
-------------
I can't take it anymore. I'll make up for it tomorrow.
