Selected Works of Xue Mo Novels is a collection of short stories written by Xue Mo, a representative writer of Western literature, which is completely based on the western land. This book includes four novels, Xinjiangye, Yue'er, The Sound of Broad Beans at Night and Jackal. In the story, the poor and old Xinjiangye leads a peaceful life because of his clean and beautiful love without any desire; the sick Yue'er breaks down in the confused City, but is relieved because of her pure yearning in the later stage of her life; in the famine predicament, Xueyu'er, who has the chivalrous responsibility, is almost eaten by her uncle's family; Lanlan and Yinger experienced a slim chance of surviving in the desert, they fight against fate tenaciously and escape from danger. 从表面看，雪漠的小说故事情节，无论是爱情还是亲情，其中总透露出苍凉与悲惨，但深思又觉出主人公们是在倔强地过着自己的西部沙漠生活，用自己的方式实现内心的平衡与祥和。因此，这些小说读来总有一种沉重的感觉，让人久久回味。同时，作者在故事中加入了沙漠、骆驼、豺狗子、黄沙等许多西部生活元素，使得全书透出独特而浓郁的西部气息，这也是本书的最大特点之一。On the surface, the plot of Xue Mo's novel, whether love or family affection, always reveals desolation and misery. However, after deep thinking, the protagonists are living their own life in the western desert stubbornly, achieving inner balance and peace in their own way. Therefore, these novels always have a heavy feeling, which makes people aftertaste. At the same time, the author adds many Western life elements such as desert, camel, jackal, yellow sand and so on to the story, which makes the book have a unique and strong Western flavor, which is one of the characteristics of the book.

The Women, the Camels and the Dholes 151
《豺狗子》151
Strangely, the bottle was actually being held to its muzzle. The camel knew how precious the bottle was to the women. It looked into the woman’s eyes, as if to divine whether she was really teasing or not. But the eyes, to its surprise, were full of concern. The kind of concern it had seen in its mother’s eye as a baby, when it caught its foot in a rat burrow and broke its leg. It would never forget a look like that. Don’t underestimate a camel’s memory, dear reader. These animals can remember the face of a teasing human for a dozen years afterwards, just as it remembers that seven or eight years ago, someone gave it fresh grass to eat. Camels have one of the longest memories of all animals, even more so than horses. It is commonly accepted that camels, like horses, understand human nature, and that they are kinder-natured than horses too. 那瓶口，竟然伸向它的嘴。它当然感到意外。它当然也知道其中的妙物对两个女人意味着啥。它望望那女人的眼，想捕捉住捉弄它的意蕴。没想到，它看到的，是一双充满了关切的眼。记得，小时候，它一脚踩入鼠洞弄折了腿后，母亲就那样看它。它当然忘不了那眼。你别小看它的记忆，它能记得十多年前某人对它的捉弄，也忘不了八年前某人给过它一把青草。它是最有记性的动物之一。在这一点上，它甚至超过了马。跟马一样，它是公认的能通人性，而且更加厚道。The camel was truly moved. It knew just what the look in this woman’s eyes meant. She really was offering it a drink. It did not know that this was all they had left, but it knew just how precious the oil was. They had been taking a sip only once every couple of hours. When they drank, they closed their eyes and savoured the taste, as if imprinting the flavour on their very souls.驼真的被感动了。它毫不怀疑那眼中发出的信息。它明白她是真的想将那清凉给它。它虽然不知道那是仅有的，但早就从两人的举止中明白了它的珍贵——人家都几个时辰喝一小口呢。喝时，她们都闭了眼品味许久，她们当然想叫那味儿印入自己的灵魂深处。当然。
