"I don't want to disappoint my father, nor do I want to give up on my father, so I want to go alone!”
Hearing Xue Li Yang's words, everyone was shocked.
One had to know how dangerous it was to go alone. It was undoubtedly courting death.
"Why are you going alone?" Su Mu was slightly stunned.”
"I…this path is too dangerous. I don't want you to be hurt. If I can guarantee your safety alone, I'm willing…"
Before Xue Li Yang could finish her sentence, Su Mu immediately interrupted her.
"No, I can't let you go alone. I told you, I want to protect you for the rest of your life.”
Su Mu's expression was very serious, and her gaze was sincere. She looked as if she would do anything to help him.
Xue Li Yang was touched by Su Mu's domineering attitude, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
Xue Li Yang looked at him with deep affection and said,"
"Thank you. I'm very lucky to be able to marry you.”
"Don't worry, we'll protect you too."”
At this time, her teammate also stood up and said this, which warmed Xue Li Yang's heart.
"I'll help you too.”
Fatty said with a smile.
"Yes, we are confident." Ding Sitian said.
Seeing that everyone had the courage to encourage her, Xue Li Yang was touched.
"Alright, everyone, hurry up and rest. We'll hurry up tomorrow morning.”Professor Chen said.
"Aiya, all of you are so imposing.”
An Liman suddenly said.
Everyone looked over.
It was rare that he didn't say anything about giving up. Instead, he only teased her.
"Which one of you will follow me outside to pick up some dead branches?”
An Liman said.
"I'll go with you."
After that, the few of them followed An Liman out.
He went outside, took some dry wood, and lit it at the door.
He also lit some more in the house to keep warm at night.
In this place, there was a saying that was particularly vivid and apt.
She wore a cotton jacket in the morning and gauze in the afternoon, and ate watermelons around the stove.
The temperature difference between day and night here was also very large. The desert was not warm, and it was very cold at night.
If they didn't have something to keep them warm, they might freeze to death.
"Aiya, this wind is really strong outside. If it weren't for the few of us holding hands, we might not have been able to come back.”Fatty teased.
"When I was outside, I saw some animal footprints. They were wolf footprints."”
"Yes, I saw six or seven yellow goats outside just now."”
"This sand cave was specially prepared by God for those animals."”
"Right now, you only see yellow goats and wolves. Maybe there are leopards. There's a sandstorm outside, and all the animals on the ground are scared. When the sandstorm is over, you will find that the wolf and the sheep will hide in a room. By then, the wolf will show its teeth, and the yellow goat will show its horns.”
"So, according to what you said, the wolf and leopard will discover us?" Ding Sitian's expression changed.”
"Yes, we can avoid this storm.”Fatty nodded.
"It's very likely that we can't hide from these wild beasts."
Seeing that Ding Sitian was scared, An Liman immediately stopped what he was about to say.
Professor Chen said," Fatty, don't say anymore. After all, Ding Sitian is still a girl. Aren't you scaring her?"”
"I'm just trying to ease the tense atmosphere," said Hu Bayi.”
"Today is the first time I've seen the power of this desert.”
Professor Chen was a little emotional." We're fighting against the heavens and the earth. It's endless fun."”
"Now that I think about it, these words really make sense.”
Ding Sitian muttered softly. She picked up something from the ground and fiddled with it, slightly stunned.
"Xiaoxiao, Ding, what are you holding in your hand?”
Suddenly, Fatty Wang stuttered.
Ding Sitian was a little stunned. Then, she lowered her head and looked at the thing in her hand.
She was shocked to find a white bone in her hand.
It was a slender rib.
"Ah!"
Ding Sitian screamed and threw the bone in her hand to the ground. She couldn't help but retreat.
Su Mu happened to be beside him, supporting her.
"Bones, so many bones, you scared me to death!”
Ding Sitian was obviously shocked!
Everyone was also surprised. Then, they gathered over and sized up these bones.
"I'm sorry. I didn't expect there to be human bones here. I wasn't mentally prepared enough.”
Ding Sitian saw that everyone had gathered around her and felt a little apologetic, so she quickly apologized.
"It's okay, Little Ding. No one blames you!”
Professor Chen wore glasses and looked at the bones on the ground. He said,
"This really looks like human bones."
Su Mu looked at these human bones and could not help but frown. He suddenly said,
"No, there's something wrong with these bones!”
"How is it strange?" Professor Chen asked.
"The bones and flesh of the dead in the desert won't rot. They usually become mummies after they are naturally dried.”
Su Mu pointed to a spot on the surface of the white bone.
"But look at these bones. They are very clean. There is no human flesh at all.”
An Liman sat quietly on the ground and said casually,""Maybe it was eaten by wolves.”
"It's very likely that this person stopped here to avoid the storm and was later attacked by animals. Therefore, we still need to take turns to keep watch.”Hu Bayi said.
However, Su Mu found it strange and said,"No, there are many fine gnawing marks on this bone. It doesn't look like it was gnawed by a wolf's teeth."”
"What do you think this is?" Professor Chen asked.”
"I don't know."
Su Mu shook her head and did not continue.
Actually, he had a guess in his heart.
However, this was only a guess. He hoped that he was wrong.
In the original novel, these should have been caused by desert army ants.
Now that their plot had changed slightly, perhaps this kind of thing would not happen?
