Tomb raiding: Trying to become a little painter

Chapter 17 Argument

The blind man was actually quite lucky! It's definitely the direction's fault, it has absolutely nothing to do with me, the blind man!

Hei Xiazi wondered if the fate between beasts was really that mysterious. He was a little skeptical!

However, he quickly came to believe it, because by following Zhang Qilin's footsteps and direction, he soon found two figures, one in red and one in white, lying on the sand not far away.

"Little Qilin is lucky, Blind Man. Next time, you should leave the chance to rely on Little Qilin!"

Qin Henian saw the scene not far away and sighed sincerely. Unfortunately, after he finished speaking, he inadvertently glanced at the serious look in Zhang Qilin's eyes.

Upon seeing the red figure lying on the sand, Zhang Qilin unconsciously quickened his pace. Qin Henian and Hei Xiazi, who were following behind, also had to quicken their pace. A little over a minute later, the three of them arrived in front of the two unconscious figures lying on the sand.

Qin Henian glanced at the two people on the ground and found that they were not in good condition. Zhang Qilin, who had arrived earlier, was holding Wu Xie in his arms and feeding him water. While he was feeding him water, Xie Yuchen, who was lying on the other side, was suffering.

Seeing that Hei Xiazi didn't move, as if he didn't see that there was still a person lying on the ground, Qin Henian had no choice but to walk up to Xie Yuchen, squat down, hug him, and take out a water bag to feed him water.

Gululu...

"Young...young man?"

Wu Xie, who had drunk water and started to wake up, opened his eyes and saw his brother looking at him.

"What's wrong with me?"

Wu Xie felt that his body was feeling better but he was a little weak. His memories, which had been cut off, were slowly returning. The next second, Wu Xie suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hey bro, Xiao Hua! Where's Xiao Hua? I remember I was with Xiao Hua."

"He's over here!"

Just as Wu Xiegang remembered Xie Yuchen and asked the question, Qin Henian, who was holding Xie Yuchen on the other side, silently spoke up.

"He...He Nian, thank you!"

After hearing the sound, Wu Xie turned around to look at Xie Yuchen's situation and smiled somewhat embarrassedly.

"You're welcome. We're all friends."

Tsk tsk...

Hei Xiazi, who was standing to the side watching this conversation, felt a lump in his throat. He had been deceived by Qin Henian's angelic face when they first met. Hearing the word "friend" reminded him of how badly he had been tricked by that word when he turned into a Pixiu!

It seems like his son Henian is friends with everyone!

cough cough...

Just then, Xie Yuchen, who was in Qin Henian's arms, suddenly started coughing. Her peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and as they slowly adjusted to the light, she opened them, revealing a section of her jade-like neck.

"Thank you."

A soft sound came from beneath me.

"You're awake? Drink some water first, and try getting up after you've recovered a bit."

Qin Henian suddenly looked down at Xie Yuchen lying in his arms. Sensing that the other was slowly recovering, he subconsciously asked a few words of concern.

"it is good"

Xie Yuchen also understood the current situation. They were still in the desert. Before they fainted, he and Wu Xie were obviously dehydrated. Now that they had replenished some water, they would feel better.

The four of them stayed in the desert for about ten minutes. After Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen had recovered, Zhang Qilin carried Wu Xie on his back and set off, while Xie Yuchen used his "money power" to have Hei Xiazi carry him. Qin Henian followed silently.

Anyway, following the chosen one is always the right thing to do. Qin Henian doesn't really like physical contact with people. In the past, he would avoid it if he could, and if he couldn't avoid it, he could only endure it. But times have changed... Of course, this requirement of being flexible does not include Beast.

.........

On their way back to camp, the five of them picked up a few lost people along the way. They returned to where Ah Ning had set up camp, and there they saw many people who had already gathered.

The daytime passed quickly, and the sun, hanging in the sky, slowly slanted downwards, about to set. After resting, Qin Henian and the other four gathered together to eat the food they had brought from their backpacks.

"Hey, are you doing this on purpose? Did you deliberately lead us here?"

"I've heard that almost everyone who lives around the desert knows the patterns of sandstorms!"

After resting for several hours, a man in A Ning's group suddenly stood up. He had a fierce look on his face and was neither tall nor thin. He walked with a slouching gait toward the young guide who had led them into the desert, asking questions with an annoyed expression as he went.

"What do you mean? Are you saying my grandma lied to you?"

At this point, the young guide who had been questioned could no longer sit still. He stood up and looked at the man with a face full of anger.

"Let's put aside whether it's a lie or not. I just want to know the truth: the route to find Tamutuo was planned by your grandmother. Why didn't she take a detour? Why did she insist on going through this desert?"

As a result, some of their brothers have lost contact and haven't been found yet.

The man was somewhat dissatisfied, but he wasn't afraid of the young guide who was about to approach him, since there were more of them anyway.

"This road is the only way to the next stop. If it weren't for the sandstorm, we would have arrived long ago."

"Besides, this used to be a riverbed, not a desert! Deserts, lakes, and salt marshes overlap and engulf each other, and the landscape changes every day. How can we control God's will?"

The young guide argued his case forcefully, showing no fear of the man opposite him.

"I've crossed rivers before, but I've never crossed one this slippery! My car is stuck, and I can't get it out!"

"How long has the riverbed you're walking on been dry? The riverbed we're walking on has been dry for less than six months..."

The man was still arguing with the young guide, while Qin Henian and the others sat to the side watching. Each of them had a different expression on their face, and they were all basically watching this farce unfold.

"Ugh.."

At this moment, Qin Henian sighed slightly. Looking at the two arguing endlessly, he felt a headache coming on and could only raise his hand to press on his temples.

Sure enough, when people argue, no matter who the other person is, once they get heated, they all sound just like shrewish women yelling in the street.

"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

Suddenly, a hand climbed onto Qin Henian's shoulder, and a faint questioning voice reached his ear. Qin Henian turned his head and met a pair of eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.

The five of them sat together. In order not to interfere with the romantic relationship between Xiao Qilin and Wu Xie, Qin Henian sat next to Hei Xiazi and Xie Yuchen. But now, the pair of dog-like eyes he was looking at were those of Wu Xie.

When did he sit down next to him? Qin Henian was a little surprised. Could it be that he was too engrossed in reading gossip and didn't notice?

Tsk...that doesn't make sense. He wouldn't be that careless, would he? Qin Henian couldn't help but wonder if Wu Xie's peculiar unlucky constitution had prevented him from noticing...

"Cough cough... I'm fine, Wu Xie, why are you sitting next to me?"

Qin Henian looked at Wu Xie, wondering how he got here.
