Chapter 281 Quicksand

Most of the bags are filled with food and water. Walking in the desert is like walking on a "steamer", which makes people breathe.

However, when Zhang Tianyou felt relieved, he met a beautiful "female" named Milan. It is said that she is a descendant of Loulan Kingdom and is about twenty years old. This time the archaeological team asked her to be a guide.

Although the Chinese she spoke is not very standard, she can understand it. On such a hot day, she has leather hair on her head, a 'wool' dress on her body, and leather boots on her feet.

In theory, people who live in such weather should be very dark, but she is different. Her skin is very white, which may have something to do with her covering her tightly.

During the two days of walking, Zhang Tianyou took a sip of water when he was thirsty, which seemed very casual. Shen Ziyu, who was beside him, could not stand it anymore and glared at him and reminded him: "Save some drinks, there is no water behind him, no one will give it to you."

In fact, when he was about to enter the desert, Huang Qiren "handed" him. Everyone carried their own water and had to save some drinks. No one knew when the first batch of archaeological teams would be found, and even the bottles containing the water were replaced with sheepskin bags.

But Zhang Tianyou took it as a warning and ignored that trick at all, and he would do his own thing.

"Thank you for reminding me, don't worry, I won't drink your portion even if I'm thirsty." Zhang Tianyou said and took another sip.

In fact, this kid just used water to dip his lips and spit it back into the bottle. I'm afraid that this kid would be even more disgusting if he didn't in the world.

When Shen Ziyu saw that he didn't listen, he snorted and stopped caring about him.

After walking about twenty kilometers a day, Milan found a camping place. Everyone set up the camp, set fire, roasted some dry lamb "meat", drank some water, and prepared to go to bed.

There were 160 people in their ranks, thirteen men, three ‘female’, and ten camels.

Zhang Tianyou couldn't sleep any longer. He came outside the tent and took a break, but saw a figure on the sand pile in the distance, which looked very much like Milan.

Zhang Tianyou walked over, and it was indeed her. He smiled: "Miss Milan, where are you watching the moon here?"

Milan looked up at him, smiled faintly, and said in half-baked Chinese: "I don't know what to watch the moon, I'm thinking of my father."

"Your father? Where is your father?" said that, and sat next to Milan.

Milan shook her head, touched the pendant in her neck, looked into the distance and said, "I don't know either. I heard from my mother that when I was young, he also served as a guide for others and has never come back since then."

"Yes, sorry, I don't know your father."

Milan smiled and said, "It's okay, I haven't seen him since I was a child, and I'm used to it. She only left this for my mother." As she said that, she took off the pendant from her neck.

Zhang Tianyou took it in his hand and looked at it. It was a crescent-shaped animal bone with patterns carved on it.

"It's very beautiful." Zhang Tianyou said to her with a smile, and Milan took it in her hand with a smile.

"Ao!" A sudden wolf screamed, Zhang Tianyou was startled and saw a dark high slope with a small black shadow, which looked like a wolf from the outline.

"Don't be afraid, he won't attack us. I've put in a row outside the tent." Milan said as she stood up and said, "Go to rest quickly, you'll have to get up early tomorrow to rush." ​​As she said that, she walked down the Shapo alone; Zhang Tianyou looked at her back and sighed.

"Hmph, I didn't seduce someone's 'female' child?" Suddenly, this sentence appeared behind the back, which scared Zhang Tianyou. When he turned around, he saw that it was Shen Ziyu.

"Oh, who am I going to be? It turns out that it is Miss Shen and I haven't slept yet. Are you afraid that I won't have enough water to drink, so I'm sending me water?"

Shen Ziyu glared at him: "I'm really thirsty, no one cares about you then." As he said that, he walked towards the tent angrily.

Zhang Tianyou looked at her back, shrugged and went back to sleep.

The next day, it was another long walk. After walking for four days, they consumed a lot of water and food. I really don’t know how the first archaeological team lasted for three months.

They were walking forward that day when they suddenly heard a person's call for help, "Help, save me."

When Zhang Tianyou looked back, he found that an archaeological team member was trapped in the sand and slowly sank; Zhang Tianyou hurried over and pulled him.

"Come back, don't go." Milan shouted loudly, because she knew that it was quicksand and she couldn't get out if it was sinking deep.

But it was too late. Zhang Tianyou had just run a few steps and suddenly fell into it, and his legs were filled.

"Don't move, don't move." Milan shouted loudly.

"Senior brother, senior brother." Ye Xiaoluan ran to Zhang Tianyou anxiously, but was stopped by Milan: "Don't go, you will retreat, I'll save him."

When Zhang Tianyou saw it, he said, "Don't let it move. If he doesn't move, isn't this waiting to die?" Even though he thought so, he didn't dare to move.

In fact, Huang Qiren said before coming, don’t move when you encounter quicksand, as the more you move, the faster you fall.

Looking at the archaeological team member who just fell into it, only one hand was exposed outside, and was slowly sinking. When Zhang Tianyou saw that he was about to sink, but there was a companion because his body was also sinking little by little.

"Guangyao, Guangyao, brother." A team member was about to pass by crying, but was pulled by several team members to prevent him from passing by.

When Zhang Tianyou saw the man, he met him. When he came, Huang Qiren introduced that the one who fell into the trap was Wang Guangyao, and the one who cried was Wang Guangzong. These were the two brothers, and the one who fell into the trap was his younger brother.

Milan was taking out the rope quickly and giving Zhang Tianyou forcefully: "Take the rope and try to lie forward."

Zhang Tianyou pulled the rope and buckled it in. He leaned forward. Ye Xiaoluan and Shen Ziyu also came to help. The others "made" another rope, and the two ropes worked hard together, and finally pulled him out.

When Ye Xiaoluan saw Zhang Tianyou come out, she was so happy that she cried. She hurriedly rubbed his legs and beat the sand on his body.

Shen Ziyu took out the water and handed it to him. Zhang Tianyou took it but didn't drink it. He handed it to Milan: "Thank you for saving your life."

Milan didn't answer, glared at him, and said in raw Chinese: "Why are you not obedient? Who told you to run over to save people? Do you know how dangerous it is to do this?"

Milan was very angry and pushed his hand away; today everyone became very depressed because of the sacrifice of a team member.

Huang Qiren was the captain, but he only comforted Zhang Tianyou a few words. As for the sacrificed team members, he did not mention them again.

Because no one wants to see this, no one can tell how many of the people they come in can go out.

After walking for two more days, the sky was moving forward. Milan suddenly stopped, looked up at the sky, raised his hand, and after a while, he put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and suddenly said, "Everyone, find a place to shelter from the rain, and set up a tent."
