Pilbel Public Beach in Mauritius in March, with blue sea and blue sky and gentle sea breeze.

Under the dense palm trees, on the white beach, groups of bikini beauties strolling on it, dressed in wrap skirts. From time to time, the sea gently swells ashore, provoking all the beauties to chuckle.

Mauritius is one of three countries in Africa to be rated "high" on the Human Development Index. In addition, the natural environment is indeed superior, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a tourist destination.

At this time, under a sun umbrella, a young man wearing a T-shirt, a pair of denim cropped pants, and a pair of sunglasses on his face was lying on a beach chair. People dressed up like this are everywhere on Pierbel Beach without the slightest notice.

However, compared with the cattle around him who were busy watching beautiful women and preparing to talk, he had no interest in the exotic beauties in the past, but lay there quietly reading the novel.

It's not that he's pretending, it's because he's not in the mood.

This person's name is Xing Jie, and he is just twenty-four years old. He has been a cook in the army for several years, and because of his lively eyelids, he will come to trouble, and the old squad leader has taught him several unique skills.

In the past few years as a soldier, it can be said that it has been smooth sailing and chic. Because of his superb cooking skills, many army leaders have a good impression of him, and many top players have become his friends.

When others are discharged from the army, they have to be busy looking for a receiving unit, or looking for a job on their own. After Xing Jie returned home, he directly entered the company opened by his relatives and became a department manager leisurely.

is completely different from his cousin who likes luxury, Xing Jie, who is from an ordinary background, even if he has a wealthy relative, still retains the stubbornness and arrogance of when he was a soldier.

Because I really couldn't get used to the way the contractor squeezed oil from the bones, coupled with the youthfulness and vigor, I started it. Originally, this kind of thing can be said to be big or small, but the other party's family is not small, and they will not let go. If it weren't for his family, he would have gone to the bureau to gnaw on the nest.

His parents and brothers felt sorry for this old man in the family, so they simply sent him to Mauritius with a ruthless heart. Let Xing Jie avoid the limelight at his brother-in-law's house, treat it as a trip, live a year and a half, and go back after this matter is completely over.

As for Xing Jie's uncle, he is a top student who graduated from the University of Chicago, but he loves freedom in his life, so much so that he is still alone.

The words that often hang on my lips are that there are so many beautiful women in the world, why should I give up the whole forest for the sake of a tree?

So Xing Jie came to Mao Island for a month, and he could only go shopping or stay on the beach every day, which was really boring.

……

"Hi Jay. With such beautiful weather and young and beautiful girls everywhere, why don't you go and invite them for a drink?" someone patted Xing Jie on the shoulder and said.

"Professor Aziz, why are you here too?" Xing Jie turned his head and glanced at the other party, then quickly sat up and greeted him in fluent English.

According to Uncle Xing Jie, this person was brilliant when he was in school, and he was very much loved by his teacher, and he stayed in school as soon as he graduated, and after several years of development, he is now a professor in the history department of his alma mater.

Usually the two of them just make phone calls and send emails to get in touch, after all, everyone is so busy. But recently, for some unknown reason, this Professor Aziz was able to put down his work and come to Mauritius. It's unthinkable to stay for half a month.

On the first day he came here, something happened suddenly, and it happened that his uncle was not at home, and he was received by Xing Jie.

It was just a few simple home-cooked dishes, which shocked him and thought that the taste was much better than that in Chinese restaurants. So under the influence of food, the relationship between the two people was quickly shortened.

After a long talk, both of them had a preliminary understanding. For young people like Xing Jie, Professor Aziz is also quite appreciative.

He believes that there is nothing wrong with what Xing Jie did, but the way he handled it was too extreme. If in a few years, after Xing Jie is a little more stable, the future will be limitless.

In Xing Jie's eyes, Professor Aziz is funny, well-informed, and charismatic, and is really a very respectable person.

It's just that I don't know what he and his brother-in-law are busy with every day, and they are not at home all day long. Occasionally in the course of their small talk, they heard something Kiber Quinlan, the ancient scrolls, and then a whole bunch of jargon.

Of course, there are times when there are quarrels, and last night, Xing Jie heard Professor Aziz roaring in the study.

"You don't even believe me?" I told you, I'm just here to relax. ”

"Oh, Aziz. Come on, we've been friends for so many years, don't I know you yet? Put aside work and relax for half a month? This is not the Aziz I know, let's say, what is it for?"

“…… I was forced to take a vacation by the board of directors. ”

"Shit, that bastard made the decision?"

"It's the heads of the board, and the leader of them is our teacher, Mr. Wilson! What else can I do?"

"Well, then I'll take my words back, but what about your research?"

"It was stopped indefinitely, unless I could come up with a better solution. ”

Hearing this at the time, it made Xing Jie feel very bored. This capitalist country is really ruthless, it can't create benefits, even if it is his own proud protégé, this teacher will not hesitate to be ruthless.

"Why? I can't just come to the beach to take a break? Besides, I'm still very young, and there are so many beautiful women here that there could be a romantic love story in this beautiful place. Professor Aziz said with a smile.

He has the capital to say this.

Teaching all year round, not to mention the bookishness, and the appearance of heroism is compelling.

Unlike other middle-aged people with big bellies, he pays great attention to his body and works out all year round. There are smooth muscles all over the body, and there is no appearance of more than forty people at all.

To use an analogy, it's very similar to Hugh Jackman. Whenever you take off your clothes while swimming in the sea, you will often attract the attention of many beauties on the side. As for the fragrant business card, at least dozens of them were collected.

With such conditions, it is also a common thing not to come back at night.

Once Xing Jie's brother-in-law made a fairly accurate evaluation of Professor Aziz, he is a pervert in the garb of a missionary!

"Oh, then you should go a little further east, and just now I saw a beautiful woman who looked like Rachel Weiss walking by. White skin, long legs, and a fiery figure. If you do it now, you're going to have a great night.

In addition, as a friendly reminder, there may be a bottle of 97-year-old port wine in the cabinet in my uncle's study. Remember, I didn't say that. ”

"Aha, dear Jay. You're so much better than your uncle. I've been friends with him for many years, and I didn't know he was hiding such a good thing. What is a beautiful woman compared to fine wine?

Oh, you said that beautiful woman just now? She just rejected me! Let's go, this beach is really sad for me today, let's go home, the braised pork you made tastes so good, I really want to taste it again. By the way, what are you reading?"

"A web novel called Notes on Tomb Robbery, very interesting. ”

"Teach others how to rob tombs? Oh God, it's unforgivable!"

Xing Jie only remembered at this time that Professor Aziz was a professor of the Department of History, but such a person did not have the slightest affection for the business of tomb robbing, and could even be said to hate it.

"Professor Aziz, you misunderstood, this book is not about how to rob tombs. Instead, they use tomb robbing to tell some other stories. Anyway, it's still a long time, so why don't we go back and have a drink while we learn about the book?"

After listening to Xing Jie's words, Professor Aziz fell silent. Indeed, he did not like tomb robbers, and many times, when they were about to find a piece of history with hard work and hope, only to find that the tomb had been looted by tomb robbers. The feeling of frustration and the annoyance that research can't continue can be a source of despair.

"I'm sorry, Jay, I lost my temper. But your proposal is good, and we'll go home now. Oh my God, 97 year old Port, here I am. After speaking, he grabbed Xing Jie's shoulders and hurried to the parking lot.

……

"Fifty years ago, Xing Jie was ...... in Dartziling, Changsha, China," Xing Jie was pressed on the sofa by Professor Aziz, and told the story of King Lu of the Seven Stars in one breath.

Xing Jie said that his mouth was dry, and the corners of his mouth were foaming at the mouth. I drank five cups of tea in the middle and went to the bathroom twice. When I saw that it was already evening, I hadn't even eaten, and I kept telling this story.

At first, Professor Aziz still had the idea of listening to the story, and he was dismissive and tasteful of red wine. But as the story extended, it was slowly attracted.

"Jay, what then? What does that Warring States Silk Book mean?" Professor Aziz asked in a deep voice with a twinkle in his eyes.

"Oh my God, Professor, this book has more than 1.4 million words. I've just started looking, and it's still growing in the back. Xing Jie almost fainted, thinking that this professor would not be idle and panicked, he regarded himself as a talk show host.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Jay. It was a very interesting book, and I was fascinated by it. I'm going back to the United States in a few days, so how about I see it first?" Professor Aziz asked, discussing.

And Xing Jie had already felt sleepy after telling the story for so long, and when he heard Professor Aziz say this, he hurriedly handed over the book.

Anyway, Professor Aziz also has a deep knowledge of Chinese, and even the vernacular of the Ming Dynasty can understand three words and two beats, and there should be no big problem with online novels like this.

Of course, for those underworld cuts, this Professor Aziz should not understand what it means. But those are the little things that don't matter, don't worry about those details.

It's just that when Xing Jie got up in the middle of the night to drink water, he found that the light in the study was still on, and when he looked around, he found that Professor Aziz was not looking at the book, but muttering oh God, while desperately writing and drawing something on the paper.

As for the bottle of port wine, it had already been drunk, and the empty bottle was thrown aside.

"I'm just going to read a web novel, as for still writing about the aftermath of reading? Forget it, if the professor really likes it, I'll give him this set of books. It's a big deal, just send another set. ”
