Chapter 61: The Land of Cacti

After dinner, Luo Ji immediately asked Athena to bring the letter, and then called Su Le over to read the letter. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info After all, this is a letter to Su Le, and it is not easy for her to open it directly.

"Dear Xiaole, are you okay. I've been collecting a set of treasures around the world lately, and I've gotten quite a bit. But the rest are more difficult to find, and there are no clues. If you have time, come and help me, and I won't forget you when the time comes. ”

"I'm around Central America, and I'm sure you'll find me when you come. Looking forward to seeing you there...... Your dear sister - Robin. ”

There were a few passionate lipstick marks at the end of the letter, which Su Le didn't read, but his face was still slightly red after seeing it. Of course, this can't escape Luo Zhi's perception.

Luo Jian snatched Su Le's letter, and when he saw the lipstick mark at the end, he was even more dissatisfied. "How, what do you decide to do about it?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll think about it again. Do you think I should go? Su Le asked Luo Zhi rhetorically.

"I don't know, my heart is in turmoil."

Su Le thought that this matter could be discussed with the elders. The only elder Su Le was more familiar with was Yang Wenli, so he knocked on Yang Wenli's door.

Yang Wenli doesn't often stay in Ninghai Retreat, but it happens that he is there today. Emotionally, of course, Yang Wenli didn't want Su Le to go, which would reduce the chances of his daughters. However, he also thinks that it is better for him not to meddle in the emotional entanglements of young people, and let them develop naturally.

"When it comes to the complete set of treasures in the Americas, isn't it a crystal skull? The three most famous crystal skulls are in the collections of the British Museum in the United Kingdom, the Quai Branly Museum in Paris, France, and the Smithsonian Institution in the United States at HSD. All of them have recently been stolen, and most of the other crystal skulls are in private possession. According to the grapevine, all three of the RB Nishizawa Foundation's collection were stolen. ”

After listening to Yang Wenli's words, Su Le wanted to go to the Americas to find Robin. It's not that I want to share some benefits, if it's really Robin collecting crystal skulls, something will happen if it goes on like this.

"I'm also interested in this matter, so I'll apply to go to the Americas to investigate this matter. If you are in a hurry, you can also go first, and we can keep in touch. Yang Wenli proposed.

"Then I'll go with Luo Ji and Athena first."

Su Le was indeed in a hurry, he immediately went to discuss with Luo Zhi, as long as Luo Jian agreed, Athena had been trained to be very obedient.

Luo Jian didn't want to go, and he didn't want Su Le to go. However, under Su Le's repeated persuasion, he boarded the plane to Mexico City with Su Le and Athena.

In fact, if there is no Luo Zhi to accompany them, Su Le will be quite inconvenient, and the common language in Mexico is Spanish. This requires hiring a translator, which is cumbersome and costly.

Mexico is not very developed right now and is plagued by the problem of drug smuggling syndicates. However, with the increase in labor costs in China, its development prospects are once again optimistic due to its proximity to the United States.

In fact, Mexico is neither a major producer nor a major consumer of drugs. Mexico is simply sending drugs produced in countries like Colombia into the United States, the world's largest consumer of drugs.

Su Le, Athena, and Luo Jian first look for traces of Robin in southern Mexico, and Robin's flaxen curls and fair skin should be more conspicuous. Mexico is mostly Indo-European, and Indians have a higher ratio.

Less than a tenth of the people were purely European, and the Spaniards were originally Latinos from southern Europe. After a long period of exposure to the Mediterranean sun, it is generally impossible to be as white as Robin.

The Indians are the main indigenous people of the Americas and are found in various countries of the Americas. Two important civilizations of the Indians, the Mayan and the Aztec, were active near Mexico. Crystal skulls are also said to have been found in Mexico, Honduras, and other places in Central America.

Historiography acknowledges that the Indians were who migrated from Siberia to the Americas. About 25,000 years ago, they landed on the islands of Alaska via the Bering Strait and then gradually moved south to spread across the American continent. Before the "discovery" of European colonists, the Indians lived on the American continent for generations, and were pioneers and masters of the region.

In the long course of history, the Indians of the Americas left behind a fairly high ancient civilization. They cultivated corn and potatoes, built tall temples, and left behind words that are difficult to explain today. However, the course of their history is too slow...... Just as they were making the transition to a class society, the Spaniards, full of golden dreams, arrived.

In 1492, under the patronage of the Spanish crown, the Italian navigator Christopher Columbus sailed to the Americas while searching for a route to the East, mistaking it for India. The subsequent influx of European "adventurers" and colonists brought devastating disasters to the local American Indians.

According to statistics, 13 million Indians were killed in Spain's territories during the colonial period, about 10 million in Brazil, and about 1 million Indians in the westward expansion of the United States.

What is now Central and South America and the Caribbean was mainly a Spanish and Portuguese colony. And Spain and Portugal are both Latin-speaking countries, so now this land is also called Latin America.

After the independence of Latin American countries, the territories to which Portugal belonged formed a unified state, which is now Brazil. Spain's territories have formed many countries, which is why Spanish is now spoken in Latin America, with the exception of Brazil, where Portuguese is spoken.

At present, the male Indians of Latin America have basically no patrilineal descendants, and their mixed-race descendants are mostly descendants of male colonists and local women. The situation is even worse in North America, where Indians make up only about 1% of the population.

Su Le, Luo Zhi, and Athena look for a needle in a haystack to inquire about Robin's whereabouts, but it doesn't work very well. No one saw a woman resembling Robin, and no one had seen Slender Chun-Li, Dog-Girl, or Tiger-backed Bear-waisted Girl.

At the same time, Yang Wenli also took Mulan to the Americas.

The first message Su Le received from Yang Wenli was this: "We didn't have a ticket to Mexico, so we flew to Los Angeles in the United States first, and then crossed the border into Mexico. ”

It is estimated that it will take at least two or three days for Yang Wenli and Mulan to reach Mexico City, so Su Le did not stop looking for Robin.

Sure enough, Su Le soon received a second message: "We encountered a fierce exchange of fire between the military and police and the drug cartels at the border, and I followed the car back to the United States first." Mulan is going to find you and cross the line of fire on foot into Mexico. ”

This behavior is really like Mulan's style, and Su Le is a little sweaty for her.

Immediately afterwards, I received a third message: "Mulan has already crossed the border area in the chaos, but her mobile phone seems to have been hit by a stray bullet, and after I received a message from her to report her safety, her mobile phone could not be contacted." You go pick her up, it's your fiancée anyway. I'm staying in the U.S. for the time being, and I can't help if I go. If you can't get in touch with me about anything, you can come to me at the University of California. ”

Su Le sent a message back to Yang Wenli: "Don't worry, no matter how Mulan is my 'former' fiancée, I will definitely take her back to Ninghai Retreat unharmed." ”

In particular, the word "former" was emphasized in the message, which was sent in bold and bold.

Su Le decided to find Mulan first, so he headed north to the Mexican-American border. After repeated conversations between Luo Zhi and the local police, he learned that the Chinese woman named Mulan had left safely and headed for the south.
