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 152
《豺狗子》152
You drink it! The camel wanted to tell them. It had learned politeness from its master. When its master, who loved his booze, was offered a drink by someone else, he always said that. Of course, his master was just being polite, but the camel really meant it. However, it was impossible to make these humans understand, and that could not be helped. Besides, the camel knew that it was almost impossible to change a human’s mind. It could not bear to deprive the women of this good oil. It would have been perfectly satisfied with a bowl of muddy water, even one with insects, bits of dead grass or tadpoles floating in it. But its mistresses could not drink dirty water, and they had so little oil left. The camel determined to shake its head.驼想说，你们喝吧！你们喝吧！它的客气是跟主人学的，主人就这样。他明明想喝酒，但别人邀他时，他却说这句话。主人当然是虚情假意的，驼却认真。驼心里的话虽也明白清晰，但人类总是听不懂。本办法。驼也知道改变人心是世上最难的工程，所以它总是沉默。它真的不忍心喝下那么好的东西。它只要一盆浑水就成，哪怕有虫子，哪怕有草渣，哪怕有蝌蚪，它都能闭上眼饮上一气。她们可不成，她们就那么一点了。驼于是坚决地摇了摇头。 However, to its surprise, the woman forced its mouth open and pushed the bottle in. The liquid slid over its tongue. Its taste buds sprang to life, and shrieked like cicadas in the midday sun. It felt the strange, unforgettably intense flavour in the very depths of its being. It was more than a taste, it was a rush, a tsunami, of pure pleasure. The greedy craving of the buds on its tongue made it gape like koi carp waiting to be fed. With its tongue moistened again, it felt it could eat some of the dried grass, and once it had grazed, it would be able to carry these two lovely women again. It did not have any idea of human criteria for beauty but it could see they were lovely in the eyes of human males. It had seen the way those two herders eyed them up earlier in the journey. They had stripped the woman naked with their eyes.驼当然想不到人家会将瓶口塞进它嘴里，也想不到那滑滑的液体竟会在舌上漫延开来。它听到舌上的味蕾们疯狂地叫着，叫声跟炎阳下的知了那样喧嚣。一股奇异的味道立马渗入了它的灵魂深处。它死也忘不了这味道。这甚至不能算味道了。它成了快乐的旋风，美味的海啸……还有好些比喻，驼死活想不出来了。它觉得舌上的小蕾真是贪婪，它们疯狂地大张了口，跟养熟了的鱼儿乞食时一样。虽然那液体是滑滑的黏黏的，它们还是咂光了好多。驼觉得舌头润泽了许多。它想，这下，又能吃些草了。吃了草，就能接着驮这两个美丽的女人了。它虽然不晓得人类关于美的标准，但它能从另一性别的人眼里发现她们真的很美。它忘不了途中那两个老牧人的年轻眼神。他们不一定真的扒她们的衣服，那眼睛却明明这样做了。
