"ah!"
At this time, Duomaiti also screamed. A hyena he was fighting with ignored his attack and rushed towards him to bite him. Unable to avoid it, he was bitten on his forearm.
Duomaiti immediately stabbed the coyote in the back with a knife. However, because the knife was relatively short, the wound was not deep, but it made the coyote go crazy and shook its head wildly. It immediately tore off its clothes and a piece of meat, causing pain for a moment. He screamed in agony.
But after the coyote took a bite, he refused to give up. He still quickly surrounded him, hoping to seize the opportunity again and take a bite.
At the same time, the young man was bitten and torn apart by two hyenas, causing serious injuries to his arms and legs.
At this moment, a crystal jade pendant fell from the young man's pocket!
Under the sunlight, the warm light reflected on the sand.
The hyena that was fighting Domat no longer surrounded him and attacked him. Instead, he jumped up, fell down near the jade pendant, took the jade pendant in his mouth, and made a whining sound.
After receiving this whine, the other coyotes also opened their mouths, and then turned around and retreated.
When Duomaiti saw this scene, he paused as if he wanted to attack. He looked at the jade pendant held in the coyote's mouth, and then at the young man who was bitten and covered in blood. Suddenly, he felt a little... Something came to mind.
The knife in his hand fell down, and then his body fell limply to the ground.
"Bah! Bah!..."
There was a burst of gunfire, and the coyotes were hit by bullets. The four coyotes immediately wanted to run quickly, but more bullets were fired, making the four coyotes instantly hateful.
As the coyote was shot, the shining jade pendant fell out of the coyote's mouth and landed not far from the young man.
The young man looked at the coyote that was shot, roared and screamed, then stumbled over and put the jade pendant into his pocket. Then, he turned over and lay down on the ground, looking at the dazzling sunshine, and gradually lost consciousness.
At this time, a group of about ten people ran down the sand dunes with guns in hand. They were shocked to see the miserable scene of the three people.
"Hurry and save people!"
"Company commander, this man is dead."
"Company Commander, this man can still be saved!"
…
After a busy period, Domat and the young man were rescued, but the captain of the scientific expedition team died on the spot from his injuries.
The people who came were from the garrison nearby and were on patrol duty. When they saw the coyote, they followed it to kill it.
They were very surprised to encounter a coyote here. Because coyotes will not run too far away from the oasis, otherwise they will die in the desert.
You must know that there have been no traces of coyotes on their patrol route for a long time. Now that they see them, they naturally want to follow them and eliminate them.
But I don’t know where these coyotes came from. However, because they were too far away from the coyotes and could only see them through binoculars, they rode camels and chased them for a long time before finally catching up.
Unfortunately, when they took action, they could only save two people.
They put Domat and the injured young man on the camels and returned to the station.
Duomaiti was only bitten on the forearm, so he spent a long time in the medical center where he was stationed and then woke up. As for the young man, due to his serious injuries, he finally got out of critical condition and woke up after three days and three nights of resuscitation in the medical center.
When they woke up, they were investigated separately.
Fortunately, the scientific expedition team was acting with authorization, so after asking, nothing happened.
Of course, the fact that the scientific expedition team was completely wiped out in the desert and the sight of the ancient city of Xiye also attracted questions from higher-ups.
But because there are only two people left, although the narrative is very clear, there is no supporting evidence. When I asked about the longitude and latitude of Xiye Ancient City, I didn't know anything about it. This led investigators to believe that both men were lying.
However, the two were interrogated separately, so after several days of questioning, this matter could only be put aside temporarily.
As for the ruins of Xiye Ancient City, there is no longitude and latitude. Looking for them in the desert is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, after recording all the retellings of the two people, we can only wait until later to investigate on our own.
Moreover, the captain of the scientific expedition team was also brought back. Although there were only a few body parts left, the record book was still found on his body, which indirectly showed that there was nothing wrong with what the two said.
Therefore, the two of them were free and could recover in the medical center before returning to their respective places.
Of course, due to the different severity of injuries, it is not a big problem if Duomaiti only had a piece of flesh torn off his arm. At most, after the injury is healed, there may be some minor problems with the muscles in the forearm, but nothing else.
However, the young man was severely injured, and his arms and legs were bitten to varying degrees, and there were even many bite wounds on his body and face. So, one of the young man's legs and an arm ended up being amputated, one of his eyes was removed, and a piece of flesh was gouged out of his cheek. Fortunately, it does not affect eating and talking.
Ever since the young man woke up and learned about his injuries, he has been feeling depressed. Except when he was being investigated, he didn't speak much at other times. In his hand, he held the jade pendant, holding it tightly.
After both of them had almost recovered and more than half a month had passed, Duomaiti stood in front of the young man's hospital bed holding his injured arm, looking at the young man very seriously.
At this moment, the young man was finally able to sit half-sitting, leaning on the bedside. Watching Domati's arrival, he also showed a rare smile.
"Domaiti, thank you for coming to see me." As companions who escaped from death, they were definitely very lucky to be able to see each other in the rest of their lives, so he was very happy.
But Duomaiti didn't seem to hear his thanks and still looked at him seriously.
This made the young man feel a little embarrassed, and gradually became awkward. Finally, after a few minutes of silence, the young man was also a little annoyed, and asked in a low voice: "Domaiti, are you here to see my joke? If so, are you Saw it."
As he said that, he lifted up the quilt, revealing his severed arms and legs, and shouted loudly: "Look, if you want to see enough, then take a good look!"
His voice also became hoarse and trembling.
But when the young man was going crazy, Domat said slowly: "I'm not here to see your joke."
"Then what are you here to see? You stand here without saying a word, and you don't answer my questions. You are not looking at my joke, but what are you looking at!?" the young man asked.
"I just want to tell you something." After saying that, he looked at the jade pendant still held in the young man's hand, smiled sadly, and said, "What I want to tell you is that the inspection The death of the team captain was caused by you. My injuries were also caused by you. And the way you are now is also caused by yourself."
"What? What are you talking about? Damn you, what the hell are you talking about!" When the young man heard what Domat said, he immediately went crazy. How could he injure three people and also... To make yourself look like this?
If you buy too much, it's just nonsense.
"You don't believe it?" Domat asked calmly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I absolutely don't believe what you say. There's no way I can do this. Is there something wrong with your head? We were hurt like this by coyotes." The young man sprayed wildly.
"You attracted the coyote." Domat said.
"You're talking nonsense! I attracted the coyote, so why would I get hurt?" If the young man hadn't been injured, he would have stood up and carried a big bag for Duomai. This is simply nonsense.
"Then tell me where you got the jade in your hand." Domat asked.
"You!" When the young man heard him talking about the jade pendant, he immediately tightened his grip. Then he looked at Duomaiti angrily and said, "You don't care where I got this jade pendant. Do you care?"
The young man was still angry, but there was also a hint of worry in his tone.
Because he got this jade pendant from Xiye Ancient City.
That night, after he heard the woman's scream, he immediately ran over. But on the way there, I saw a corner where there seemed to be a flash of brilliance. He immediately stepped forward to pick it up and found that it was a beautiful jade pendant.
He was originally a member of the expedition team. Although he was young, he had a certain degree of research on jade. With the help of the light, it could be seen that this jade pendant seemed to be very unusual.
But because of the screams and shouts, he didn't look carefully, just put it in his pocket and ran towards the place where the sound came from again.
It was also because he was delayed for a while after picking up the jade pendant and observing it some more. When he ran over, he saw that the team members were already running towards him, shouting that there was danger.
Naturally, he turned around and ran away. In this way, he outperformed most people and escaped from Xiye Ancient City.
On the way, he had been secretly taking out the jade pendant to observe, and he was very happy in his heart. The jade pendant was absolutely worth a fortune, especially since the jade pendant was made of mutton-fat white jade. The carved patterns on its jade pendant, etc., all show its extraordinary origin.
Although it is not certain which era it is from, what is certain is that this jade pendant definitely has its origin. If you want to date the jade pendant, you have to wait until you go back and then consult with relevant personnel.
Of course, as a member of the expedition team, he was carrying the captain and Domati behind his back, because pocketing the antiquities he encountered without permission was a violation of discipline and would be punished.
Therefore, even if you are bitten by a coyote, you will grab the jade pendant in your hand regardless. You must not throw away the jade pendant that you have worked so hard to obtain.
Even when he was questioned after returning, he did not tell anything about the jade pendant.
Fortunately, he was not asked about the jade pendant in the end. He thought that the incident had just passed. Unexpectedly, today, Duomaiti would mention it and frame him as his fault.
What the hell, is he trying to get the jade pendant?
No, absolutely not. Anyone who wants to get a jade pendant must die!
He stared at Domati fiercely with red eyes.
