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 147
《豺狗子》147
The camel’s hump was an empty bag of skin and its ribs stuck out. It was panting and from time to time stuck out its tongue. Its tongue was covered in thick brown and black calluses. It was obviously weak from lack of food, but it seemed to have had a collapse of morale too. Ying had no idea how to encourage it. She did not speak the camel’s language and did not know what was going on in its head. But she was determined they should not abandon it, not only because a camel was worth two or three thousand yuan, but also because the beast was one of them now.驼的峰子软成了皮袋，肋条也露了出来。驼吃力地呼吸着，时不时伸出舌头。驼舌上有很厚的苔，颜色或黄或黑。驼的倏然瘫软，虽然与缺养分有关，肯定还有精神原因。莹儿不知道如何才能解除它精神上的疾患。没办法，她既不能瞬息间学会驼语，也不能钻进它的脑子。她想，不管咋说，我们不能扔下它，不仅因为驼值两三千块钱，还因为它已成为她们中的一员。She suddenly realized why this place was littered with camel bones. The bones were such a reminder to passing camels that they, too, were going to die, that they had scared the live ones to death. When Han Tou was terminally ill, she remembered, he had fantasies of recovering. His life hung by a thread by then, but he clung on. When he finally realized what was in store for him, he died immediately. Their camel seemed to be in the depths of despair because so many other camels had died here. Even though camels had almost unlimited reserves of strength, the sight of so many bones had broken this one’s resolve. She would never go the same way, Ying thought. Just so long as you felt alive, you would not die.她忽然明白，为啥这地方有那么多的驼骨。那驼骨，明明在提醒驼们：我们死了，你也该死了。这真是可怕的暗示。驼以为，好多驼都死在这儿，它也一定走不出绝境的。有些驼的体力虽能支持，但那暗示，却一下子摧垮了它们最后的一点儿信念。莹儿想，自己可千万不能学那些死去的驼呀。她想，只要心不死，人是死不了的。
