Jiang Chen looked back.
He saw Xue Li Yang leaning against a wooden pillar, her expression pained.
"Why? Are you hurt?" Jiang Chen came closer and squatted down.
"I, I think there's sand in my eyes..."
Xue Li Yang raised her head and rubbed her red eyes. She said in embarrassment,"That... Can you please bring me some water to wash my eyes?”
It turned out that there was sand in his eyes…
Jiang Chen quickly grabbed Xue Li Yang's wrist and shook his head.""If there's sand in your eyes, don't rub them with your hands.”
After saying that, he reached out his other hand and placed it behind her head.
Xue Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and her body trembled slightly.
"Don't dodge!" Jiang Chen shouted.
Xue Li Yang stopped struggling.
"That's right. I'll help you blow the sand away. It might be a little uncomfortable, so bear with it.”Jiang Chen whispered.
Xue Li Yang nodded and didn't say anything else.
"Phew!" Jiang Chen exhaled heavily, then withdrew his hand and smiled.""Alright, try blinking again. Is it better?”
Xue Li Yang blinked.
As expected, he felt much better!
"Thank you!" Xue Li Yang said softly.
She subconsciously rubbed her eyes.
But Jiang Chen caught it again.
"Don't rub it. Blink more and it'll be fine soon.”
"Yes…" Xue Li Yang nodded, her eyes flashing with embarrassment.
Not long after.
The sandstorm outside had already swept over.
The wind howled furiously, causing the sky and earth to shake. Even though they were hiding in this house, everyone was still shocked.
If the sandstorm buried the exit of the house, they would really suffocate to death.
"Damn it, this sandstorm really comes as it pleases!”
Jiang Chen turned around when he heard the noise.
It turned out that Fatty, Old Hu, Lin Hong, and the others had taken advantage of the black sandstorm to quickly move the supplies on the camels into the house.
Not only that, Old Hu also brought back a lot of licorice to use for the fire pile.
Not long after, the sky outside began to darken.
Jiang Chen took out solid fuel from his backpack and started a small fire in the middle of the room.
The pitch-black ancient house was instantly illuminated by the fire.
Everyone sat around the fire and looked at each other.
Not long after entering the desert, everyone had already realized the cruelty of the desert.
Fortunately, he was temporarily safe and could catch his breath.
"This is the first time we've seen the power of the desert.”Old Hu used a tree branch to fiddle with the fire and said helplessly.
"Comrade Little Hu, this can be considered a battle against the heavens and the earth. It's endless fun!”Professor Chen had lived for a long time, and he had learned to make merry in the midst of hardship.
Ye Yixin had already woken up and sat in the crowd.""Yes, Professor. Now that I think about it, this sentence really fits the occasion!”
"But I believe that we will definitely be able to get out of here smoothly!”
"Haha, well said, Little Ye!" Professor Chen said with a smile, but then he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye. He looked down and couldn't help but ask,"Eh, Little Ye, what are you holding in your hand?”
"Ah?" Ye Yixin was stunned and subconsciously pinched the thing in his hand.""What I'm holding is…"
As she spoke, she looked down at her right hand. Then, her face turned pale.
"Ah!"
Ye Yixin screamed and hurriedly threw away the things in his hands. His face was filled with fear."Bones, Professor, these are human bones! Ah, there's still a lot here!"
She was timid to begin with. Now that she saw so many human bones around her, she didn't dare to continue sitting. She quickly moved her seat and sat next to Jiang Chen.
After Ye Yixin left, the pile of human bones behind her was revealed to everyone.
"Damn, why are there so many bones here?!”
"I say, have we entered the lair of some ferocious beast…"
"Impossible. I've already checked. There are only a few yellow goats nearby.”
Everyone stared at the human bones on the sand. Some were surprised and some were curious.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Old Hu suddenly picked up a bone and looked at it.""No, look at this bone. It seems a little strange…"
"Strange?" Professor Chen walked forward and looked at it carefully for a while. He was also surprised."It's really…How could there be such dense bite marks on this human bone?”
Lin Hong, Lin Ze, and Huo Xiaoling also came over.
"Professor, could you have made a mistake? I think this is more like the traces of bones being dried in the sand for too long and being oxided!”Lin Ze picked up a bone and analyzed it confidently.
"Xiaoling, what do you think?" He looked at Huo Xiaoling.
"Don't ask me, I'm not sure either." Huo Xiaoling shook her head. It was her first time going out to do archeological work. How could she know these things?
"Yes…" Professor Chen pondered for a while and nodded."Perhaps Lin Ze is right. We should be overthinking things.”
Hearing this, Lin Ze's face flashed with pride.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye.
"Eh, what is that thing…"
Lin Ze threw away the bone in his hand and walked to the corner.
He came to a wall, squatted down, and reached out to brush the sand away.
Suddenly, a dark brown cloth bag emerged from the sand.
"Could it be left behind by an explorer?”Lin Ze thought about it and reached out to pull the cloth bag out.
At this moment, Lin Hong's voice sounded from behind.
"Little Ze, what are you doing here?”
Lin Hong frowned and came to Lin Ze's side. When he saw half of the cloth bag exposed in the sand, he understood.
"Didn't I tell you not to touch anything in here?”Lin Hong said unhappily.
After seeing those human bones, he was already on guard against this room. Now that he saw his brother digging out other things, he could not help but be on guard.
"Aiya, what's the big deal!" Lin Ze waved his hand and said indifferently,"This is just a cloth bag, and it's very likely that it was left behind by the explorer. What if there's something we need hidden inside?”
After saying that, Lin Ze did not wait for Lin Hong to say anything else and directly reached out to pull.
Crash!
The cloth bag was completely pulled out from under the yellow sand.
"Look, it's nothing…Eh?" Lin Ze suddenly paused.
Because he noticed that there was a strange-looking stone statue buried under the original location of the cloth bag!
"Professor Chen! Professor Chen! Look what I found!"
Lin Ze turned around and waved at Professor Chen and the others excitedly, signaling them to come over and take a look.
"Oh? Lin Ze, what did you find?" Professor Chen stood up and walked over.
When he got closer, he exclaimed,
" Giant pupil stone statue?!"
"There's a giant pupil stone statue here?!”
