Daily life in the courtyard

Chapter 247 The Test of Human Nature
He has two mouths with official characters, and Hu Bayi didn't go into politics, so he really blinded his brain and his mouth.

When Chen Jiuren and Hao Aiguo saw Wei Ping'an coming in, they were a little shy and embarrassed.

I don't know if it's because he realized that his behavior was inappropriate, or because he fooled An Liman with Hu Bayi.

But it was too late to get too entangled, because several sandbags suddenly bulged up on the ground.

Puchi!Puchi!
The sandbag protruded, and then the pointed end suddenly exploded, and a large group of big red ants suddenly emerged.

Even if Wei Pingan didn't have trypophobia, there was still a big difference in the effect between seeing a bunch of tiny ants with his own eyes, and seeing ant clumps through space.

Everyone panicked.

At this time, An Liman was packing his bags, but he still didn't forget to shout: "I told you not to dig, don't dig, you have offended the gods, you will be punished..."

Apparently, he did not completely give up on Hu Bayi's forced explanation, but did not continue to pursue it.

Now that a new problem arises, immediately refute it.

It's just that An Liman's life-saving skills were almost full, he cleaned up in twos and twos, turned his head and ran out.

Except for Wei Pingan who was silent, he was the first one.

"Hurry up, everyone, leave here with your luggage, hurry up!..."

Hu Bayi yelled, telling everyone to evacuate quickly.

"Old Hu, you also hurry up, and Shirley, fat man, hurry up! No need to stare."

Wei Pingan kept watching, and only came out at the critical moment to give the most critical order.

It's useless to stare at them. There will only be more and more army ants, beyond the reach of manpower.

Sending people to watch is the same as meat buns beating dogs and sending them to death.

Only Wei Ping'an, everything that got under his feet disappeared.

Although I have secretly collected a lot outside, I don't mind adding another 80.

The space is big enough to keep them more than enough.

When they encountered the wind and sand yesterday, everyone had already experienced a sudden accident. Today, when they encountered the army ants again, they all moved a little faster than before.

Ye Fang may have been frightened by the human bones last night, and she is most urgent to leave here.

So she was the second one to climb out after An Liman.

It also relieved Wei Ping'an a little.

Then came Professor Chen, whose luggage was organized by Ye Fang and Chu Jian.

Now Chu Jian carried him on his back, and together with Hao Aiguo supported him, he ran out staggeringly.

Wei Pingan urged Fatty and Hu Bayi to get out of the hole first.

Only Shirley Yang was more unlucky, because her backpack was a little far away. For girls, Ye Fang's was far enough away, but she packed it quickly.

When Shirley Yang ran over to put her bag on her back and wanted to go out again, a big bag bulged again at the entrance of the cave.

After watching the bulge burst like a bubble, a large number of army ants spewed out.

"Go up to the roof."

Wei Pingan hugged Shirley Yang by the waist, using a parkour movement, put his left foot on the pillar, grabbed the beam with the other hand, and threw it up.

Shirley Yang is not a weak woman, Wei Pingan gently sent Shirley Yang to stand on the beam and pillar.

Temporary safety does not mean escape from danger. Without hesitation, Wei Pingan smashed through the roof with his fist. At this moment, Wei Pingan's force value was full.

Shirley stared at her with starry eyes.

Wei Pingan was forced to push Shirley Yang's shoulder to get her back to her senses and not to make such low-level mistakes of nympho level.

In the end, the two escaped from the roof one after another.

At this time, gunshots were faintly heard.

Wei Pingan's space projection ability immediately reversed direction, extending from the axis circle to a narrow and long oval.

'I saw' was Wang Kaixuan firing a warning shot.

In fact, it can be guessed.

The entire team is currently just Wang Kaixuan with a shotgun.

Wei Ping'an's firearms are all hidden in the space, the bird is silent, no one knows.

He looked at the situation over there, and guessed again, probably the old man An Liman was frightened and angry, and wanted to get rid of Professor Chen's group of sinners who 'offended the gods'.

Otherwise, with An Liman's personality, he wouldn't have encountered army ants, and would still ignore them when he was about to escape danger.

It's just that An Liman was also out of luck.

Who made him and Wang Kaixuan feel at odds with each other from the very beginning?

Wang Kaixuan has been keeping an eye on An Liman since he discovered the army ants.

It wasn't just this moment, since entering the desert, Fatty Wang was most concerned about An Liman.

When he was on duty last night, Fatty Wang said he was worried and followed him out because An Liman ran out.

So An Liman finally failed to escape Wang Kaixuan's musket deterrence, and was forced to stop.

The job of being a guide will continue.

Even if the other party is a group of blasphemers.

Wei Pingan, who was temporarily out of danger, grabbed Shirley Yang's wrist and ran wildly.

When Shirley Yang couldn't keep up, Wei Pingan would pull her hard.

Even if he faltered, he didn't let go.

In fact, Wei Ping'an's skills have long been so great that even if he stands still, he is not afraid of this kind of army ants.

But when he is with ordinary people like Shirley Yang, he really can't be too maverick.

And although everyone escaped safely, it did not reduce its fear and risk.

A group of people were frightened to death, even if they shouted, they couldn't be called.

Just now they saw with their own eyes that many animals were waded by army ants, leaving only skeletons.

At this time, who still doesn't understand why the human bone seen last night was so clean after being eaten.

Wei Pingan started to hold Xue Liyang, and later he held Xue Liyang with one hand, and Ye Fang with the other hand.

Silently assumed the weight of three people.

Everyone in the scientific expedition team ran away in embarrassment for most of the day, and stopped to rest in fear until they were exhausted.

It was only when the whole team felt completely safe and planned to rearrange their equipment that they found out sadly:
Because everyone fled in such a panic, many supplies were forgotten in the army ant's nest in the haste.

Others can barely make up for it, and everyone can make up for it.

The drinking water that can be stored is seriously insufficient.

Yesterday I encountered a sandstorm and lost some. Today I encountered army ants again. No one had the calmness in the panic. The drinking water that was unloaded could not be hung on the camel again, resulting in a loss of more than half.

Next, after a break, everyone discussed the issue of insufficient drinking water and supplies.

The main core question is whether to continue to move forward, or to stop on the spot and exit the desert as soon as possible.

Regarding this issue, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang have little say.

Even with Wei Ping'an added, there were only three votes.

And how many descendants and grandchildren of Professor Chen are there?
Even if Ye Fang is not counted, there are still Hao Aiguo, Chu Jian and Sa Dipeng who are stubborn.

Although Shirley Yang's attitude is not clear, Wei Ping'an is well aware of the importance and urgency she attaches to this archaeology, and will definitely support Professor Chen.

Well, I guess it's useless to use my beauty trick.

In the end, although there are some discrepancies, there are no accidents that will not affect the final result.

Apart from Hu Bayi, Fatty gave up the choice, but Sa Dipeng was the one who proposed to go back.

It's just that as soon as he spoke, Professor Chen immediately expressed his opinion.

Wei Pingan watched from the sidelines, and could see that Chen Jiuren was afraid that others would be led by Sa Dipeng, so he hurriedly expressed his position to show his stop.

Hao Aiguo firmly disagreed, and even threatened verbally in order to stop this 'trend'.

Wei Pingan could only purse his lips, contemptuously in his heart: poor acting skills.

Without training, of course not.

A group of people obeyed the majority and made a decision to move forward.

But...going forward, we will face the problem of water source.

Hao Aiguo's second disciple stood up.

He proposed: kill camels.

Professor Chen and Hao Aiguo were not as decisive as they refused this time. They even looked at each other, and then looked at other people around them respectively.

His practical attitude is as obvious as a louse on a bald man's head.

An Liman stood beside him unable to speak, his face was blue with fright, his lips were trembling and he prayed in a low voice.

Things have come to this, he is an old man, he really can't fight against the opponent's numbers.

He could only pray anxiously, hoping for a miracle.

Not to save these people in the scientific expedition team, but to expect a miracle to save the camels he regards as brothers.

Originally he was watching with cold eyes, but now seeing that An Liman was ignored to such an extent, he was ready to be generous to others and relieve his own worries.

How is this different from those experts, professors and scholars in the previous life who stood on the moral high ground and waved big sticks to criticize others.

If Wei Pingan sees this kind of atmosphere, he must correct it.

Don't do evil because it is small, and don't do good because it is small.

Wei Pingan couldn't understand this from the bottom of his heart, and when he was about to speak, Hu Bayi also frowned.

With a thought in his heart, he simply strolled away from this group of scholars and professors with dirty minds.

I made up my mind.

If Hu Bayi can't stop their evil deeds, he will really protect these camels with all his strength.

In fact, there are many moments when Wei Pingan really doesn't understand.

On the one hand, he is sanctimonious and amiable, calling one old brother at a time, and then another way behind his back.

Unbeknownst to An Liman, dug the giant pupil stone statue once;
Obviously there was enough time for them to leave calmly, but they threw away their helmets and armor in a hurry, and threw away all the water in a panic. This was the second time;

When discussing countermeasures, Dayi Lingran said that for the sake of ideals, he could not return without success, and then turned around and brazenly prepared to kill the property that did not belong to them-the camels that others were like brothers.

However, An Liman, the owner of the camel, was ignored by them.

Wei Ping'an was lying on the sand with the camel, watching Hu Bayi and Professor Chen discussing together from a distance.

What I did before this trip was barely passable. Later, when I entered the desert, when human beings were far away from the attention of the community, they subconsciously left the shackles of morality and rules behind them. Under the revealing of their nature, the despicable human nature can no longer be hidden. Not so perfect, there will always be a little bit of revealing at a certain moment...

From this moment on, Wei Ping'an could confidently say with a pat on his chest: He couldn't look down on these pious people from the bottom of his heart.

Hu Bayi is not bad in nature, and he is also one who can't stand it, but he has no good way, just guarding the bottom line of being a human being, biting the bullet and dealing with it.

"We will not kill camels unless we are in danger of life, when choosing between human life and camel life..."

Wei Pingan scoffed at this.

"It feels like you're not in the right mood."

"It's just that some people don't like watching the poor old man being decided by others."

Xue Liyang was very smart, she turned her eyes to look in An Liman's direction, and smiled: "Are you poor An Liman? When we go out, I can give him double the fee."

"Of course it's fine from your point of view, and from my point of view, it's also fine. It's these scholars..."

"They are all working people, shouting the slogan of serving the people, doing what they love to do, saying that the people are the masters of the country, but they always like to represent the people casually at any time."

"Is that why you stopped doing research?"

Wei Pingan smiled.

"Shirley, the professor Chen you see is only a small part of the archaeological industry, and archaeological research is only a small part of our entire scientific research team. They cannot represent the character of the entire scientific research team, and I, very clearly Rather, it belongs to another category besides them.”

"Birds of a feather flock together?"

"Probably. The way is different, so we don't conspire with each other."

"Is there any chance for us to cooperate after that?"

"It depends on the mood and the opportunity. The future is unknown, and everything is possible."

Wei Ping'an was in a bad mood, playing charades casually, but his mind was always focused on An Liman.

In the distance, Mr. An Liman finally thought of a way to procrastinate, so he began to tell the story of his survival from death 20 years ago.

The legendary desert holy beast white camel.

With Hu Bayi's persuasion, An Liman's procrastination strategy paves the way.

The stupid core archaeologists of the scientific expedition team unanimously decided to go to the place mentioned by Mr. An Liman to replenish the water source and continue to set off.

"It's almost time to go. An Liman has tried his best to protect his camel."

Wei Pingan rubbed Shirley Yang's head casually, smiled and rolled onto the camel.

Xue Liyang didn't dodge anything, she kept reminding her children to put love behind her, and she had to solve the curse first so as not to hurt others.

But... It's really a critical moment, but I just can't do it, and I still have a little enjoyment.

Well, in the 80s, the first American girl who was able to describe her behavior with 'speaking and straight' appeared.

Wei Ping'an and Shirley Yang's ambiguous behavior happened to be seen by Fatty Wang.

"Hey, Lao Hu, Lao Hu, I feel that Lao Su and that foreign girl are not quite right."

"Hurry up and get on the camel, what are you thinking about all day long?"

Hu Bayi said indifferently.

"Old Hu, don't you think Brother Wei seems to have taken a fancy to that foreign girl? Just now, the two of them, like this, like this..."

Fatty Wang sat on the hump, gesticulating with both hands.

He only has two arms, and it is quite difficult to play the two roles, but Fatty Wang never tires of it.

But Hu Bayi actually understood it.

I have to say that the two are really compatible.

"Why didn't Shirley Yang fall in love with Big Brother Wei?"

Hu Bayi raised different opinions.

"Hey, it seems that you say so."

Fatty Wang was taken aback for a moment, as if he was really thinking, and after a while, he laughed wretchedly again.

"Old Hu, tell me, is Big Brother Wei winning glory for the country this time? From now on, you will have a lot of beautiful knives in your pocket, heh..."

"It's as if Big Brother Wei didn't win glory for the country before..."

Hu Bayi curled his lips in disdain.

There was no disturbance in his heart.

He hasn't had much contact with this woman, Shirley Yang.

But from the beginning of contact to analyze and reason, he was indifferent, arrogant, and somewhat domineering...

Anyway, Hu Bayi felt a little awkward in terms of personality and work, and couldn't agree with many things.

She's a lesbian who isn't even interested in being friends.

As for the person to talk about, the idea of ​​finding a long-term partner...

Hu Bayi never thought about it.

Not a trace.
