Chapter 383: You Can Move as Much as You Can
After making Yang Meng a cup of coffee, Assad continued: "Now there is only instant coffee, please don't mind. In fact, I prefer tea, but the conditions are not good right now, so let's pay attention to it. β
Yang Meng smiled: "I really don't mind. Yang Meng put his hand into his backpack and took out a large bag of black tea from it: "The gift for you, well, it is Yunnan red produced in the Han Kingdom, believe me, the quality is definitely not worse than Darjeeling black tea or Ceylon highland black tea." β
Traveling to the Middle East, no matter which country you go to, in fact, the most popular is tea, but although it is tea, each country likes it differently, most countries like to drink black tea, but Ichiro's side 'each way', their people love to drink green tea.
Many people think that foreigners like to drink coffee, but in fact this is not the case, only North America loves to drink coffee in the world, and the favorite drink of most of the rest is tea. Especially in the Middle East, people here mainly eat meat and need tea to clear the oil.
In fact, there is a historical reason why North America loves to drink coffee, and they used to drink tea there. At that time, North America was a colony of the corrupt country and Gaul, and the two countries were vigorously collecting money there, and the people there couldn't stand up to resist, and the 'Boston Tea Party' incident was the fuse for North American independence. Since then, North Americans have switched to coffee instead of tea. Now the mainstream drink in places like Europe and the Middle East is tea.
Of course, because the Middle East is mostly desert, many places cannot grow tea, mainly relying on imports, such as the local chicken is the largest tea producer in the Middle East. And because of the war, it is now more difficult for Shulia people to drink a cup of black tea, like Yang Meng's Nufala coffee shop in Damascus, many people choose to drink tea.
And Assad was excited when he saw the black tea that Yang Meng took out: "This is the best gift I have ever received, and the Han people are definitely our good friends!"
Yang Meng smiled and waved his hand: "You're right. I said, since you are so good at Chinese, why don't you go to live in Han?"
Assad took a sip of coffee and said leisurely: "Maybe it's because I know your Han Kingdom too deeply, right? I am also respecting the will of my ancestors------ I was born and died in Si. And I still have hope for our country. β
"Hmm, why do you say that?" Yang Meng asked puzzledly: "To be honest, the situation here is really not optimistic. At least I don't feel optimistic. β
Assad explained: "Do you know why some people want to be in the opposition? As a matter of fact, looking at the whole world, although people like Silly Damu and Scumbag Fei were 'independent' at that time, the people of the country lived happily! The happiness of our people's lives is beyond your imagination now. Any country where the people are happy has an 'independent' regime, and the stupid big slag is lying down, our president has persevered, and our country will be brilliant again in the future!"
Yang Meng stretched out his thumb: "I also believe that there will be that day!"
Assad asked with an 'um' sound, "Mr. Yang, what are you doing here?"
Yang Meng slapped his forehead: "Damn, I forgot to talk to you." I'm here to find an international medical organization, and there's a doctor here who I don't know if you've seen it?" he took out a photo of Liu Pianpian and handed it to Assad.
Assad took a look: "Doctor Liu?"
"She's here?" Yang Meng became excited. Assad shook his head: "No, she came here a year ago, and I worked as a translator for her, and then she left. β
Yang Meng looked disappointed when he heard this, he had run for nothing.
Thinking of this, he got up directly and said, "Assad, I'm glad to meet you, but I'm in a hurry to find Liu Pianpian now, so I can't stay here for a long time." β
As a result, Assad grabbed Yang Meng: "Mr. Yang, don't be in a hurry to leave! I have something to discuss with you." β
Yang Meng was stunned: "What's the matter?"
Assad did not say it directly, but walked to the door and closed it.
"What are you going to do?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.
Assad walked directly to the side and lifted the carpet on the ground, and then lifted the floor under the carpet, where a stone tablet was placed, on which were various reliefs and handwriting.
"What is this?" Yang Meng was even more curious.
"This is the only artifact left in the Temple of Balchamin, which records the history of Palmyra before the Roman Empire," Assad said. It is the most important artifact of the Palmyra ruins. You're the UN medical officer, and your car will be rarely checked, so can you take this stele out there?
Yang Meng nodded, this Assad is a real scholar. For him, the value of a cultural relic is not whether it is made of precious metal, but its contents.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll get dark?" Yang Meng asked rhetorically.
Assad shook his head: "I believe you Han people. Well, in fact, I really can't help it. I don't know how long these artifacts can be preserved. I'll tell you the truth, I can't even afford to hire these bodyguards. You just said that my family is very rich, but in fact my family used to be quite rich, but it was a time of peace, and I was almost unable to support myself when I entered a state of war. To tell you the truth, if it were possible, I would rather let you take all these things with me!
Yang Meng thought for a moment: "I can help you take it away, but γγγγγγ β
Assad interrupted Yang Meng's words: "I understand, I understand. It's really hard for you to move out of such a large stone monument, and you definitely have to find someone to helpγγγγγγγ Well, Mr. Yang, it stands to reason that I should have invited you to dinner, but tonight my family is going to hold a family dinner to thank my bodyguards for keeping me safe many timesγγγγγγ This is the key to all the rooms here and we don't have monitoring here. β
Yang Meng was dumbfounded: "Are you asking me to move in a big way?"
Assad said: "You can take as much as you can, I want to learn from Afu Khan, this is the best way to preserve these relics." I have only one request for this. β
"What requirements?" asked Yang Meng puzzled.
Assad said: "I will let the 'Han people' come with you." You take him to Han and let him take care of these treasures. β
"Han people?" Yang Meng asked puzzled.
"My son, I have named him Han Guoren 'Han Guoren', and I hope that he can live the peaceful life of you Han people. Assad said: "Believe me, don't look at his young age, he is also a good historian, this is our family education has not been thrown away." β
Yang Meng frowned and said, "I have a question for you." β
Assad hurriedly said: "Please speak." β
"I can promise to bring you something to Huaxia, or to your son, but I will continue to look for Liu Pianpian, who is likely to go to places like Idlib, Aleppo, or Raqqa. I can't guarantee your son's safety. I'll help you contact the embassy of Han, and you ask your son to go there to find the ambassador and ask him to find a way to send your son to Han, and I will give him the things when I get there. It's a little hard for him to send things out, but it's really easy to send people out. Yang Meng said: "Besides, if the ambassador testifies, I won't repay the debt, right?"
After hearing this, Assad said: "Just a few things to alarm the ambassador?"
Yang Meng asked rhetorically, "How much do you think I can take?"
Assad said: "If you can move everything, I can't ask for it!"
"Then what should you do?" Yang Meng continued to ask: "If I really move things away, you will definitely be nailed to the book of shame, right?
Assad said: "Actually, no one has cared about this place for a long time, you see, this is a museum, but on this day no one is here except you? I'll just say this, except for the bandits who fight these cultural relics, no one will be staring here." If you can move it all out, then I'll really burn high incense. β
"Then if I really moved everything. What will you do?" Yang Meng asked rhetorically.
Assad was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Mr. Yang, although a lot has been destroyed here, there are still 14,531 cultural relics, and I have made statistical records for all the cultural relics, so I can rest assured that you will take things, because I know what you take." Speaking of this, he smiled slightly: "In fact, I have talked to the president about this issue, and the president wants me to do the same, but no one wants to bear the infamy at this time, right? Now only the Han Kingdom has the ability to protect these cultural relics. If you can really move all the cultural relics, I will go directly to the Han Kingdom with my son, even if I am infamy? Let time prove my right or wrong! It is really sad to say, a weak country cannot even protect its own civilization! Now that Shulia is surrounded by major powers, I can understand a truth: backwardness does not necessarily mean that you will not be beaten, and you will not be beaten only because others do not want to beat you. After speaking, he stuffed the key into Yang Meng's hand: "This stone tablet must be taken away, and you can take anything else." Although you can't take much, if you take one more piece, it will keep an extra spark for us. β
Yang Meng looked at the key in his hand and finally made up his mind: "Assad, then I suggest that you take your son to find Ambassador Wei together." β
After hearing this, Assad smiled and said to Yang Meng: "There is no one here tonight, you are free." After speaking, he raised his hand and looked at his watch: "Well, I'll leave early now, and I'll come back at noon tomorrow and give you twenty-four hours." But you have to find a way to get this stele out, it's our history!"
Yang Meng nodded: "Don't worry, this stone tablet will definitely appear in the Han Kingdom, you go to the Han Kingdom and wait." β
"Me?" Assad shook his head, "I let my son pass, after all, I still have to guard the rest of the artifacts." β
After speaking, he raised the black tea in his hand: "Thank you again for your black tea, this is really the best gift I have ever received." It's up to yours next. β
