Seeing that the scene that would have been very bloody ended in a farce, Song Xiaoshuang, who was lying on the velvet carpet, secretly sighed, Isabel wearing glasses stopped Gordon when he was about to make a move, and Song Xiaoshuang's character couldn't afford to do it to Gordon again, otherwise he would rely on the strong to bully the weak, this is something that Song Xiaoshuang, who pursues the practice of stopping martial arts, can't get around, and the cultivation of the heart of a person who practices martial arts is very important.

Song Xiaoshuang saw the man in the robe with a scarf wrapped around his head, and handed the dagger with a scabbard that he received from Gordon to Isabel, and walked straight to him barefoot and leaned down to take a closer look, the black eyes revealed an extremely complicated expression, Song Xiaoshuang, who had the ability to explore spiritual power, knew that the man in the robe was an Arab in his fifties with some dark and thin skin, and on his stand-up collar robe, he was carrying a leather belt diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist. On the belt, there is a short knife with a scabbard that is one foot long, the handle of the white short knife should be made of horns, and the black scabbard is a leather product, although I can't see what kind of leather it is, but it has a bit of vicissitudes of texture with the handle of the horn.

The robed Arabs staring at Song Xiaoshuang were different from the robed men who covered their faces with scarves at the beginning, at that time, several people ran a few steps and threw down the scabbard and scabbard, and rushed towards Song Xiaoshuang with a sword in their hands, and did not carry the leather belt used to hang the sword on their shoulders, thinking that they regarded Song Xiaoshuang as an intruder, and the belt was held up with a sword before they had time to wear it, and their scabbards, scabbards and even the handle of the swords were mostly made of metal, compared to the two, this Arab obviously had different characteristics from those people.

The eyes of the two sides looked at each other, the eyes of the Arab who covered his face with a scarf of the same color as the gray and white robe, Song Xiaoshuang knew that he must have felt the killing aura on his body, Song Xiaoshuang also felt that this Arab was not simple, and there was a faint murderous aura on his body.

This Arab has not appeared in previous events, the tent camp does not occupy a large area, Song Xiaoshuang has been probed in detail after approaching the tent, at least when Song Xiaoshuang appeared in the camp, this Arab was not in the camp, it was before the sandstorm weather, he only returned from the desert outside, it seems that this Arab is the leader of those gray and white robes and covered his face with a thick gray and white scarf?

Then Song Xiaoshuang saw the middle-aged Arab man covering his face with a scarf, turned around and walked a few steps, and after muttering to Isabel, he withdrew and walked out of the tent, where did Song Xiaoshuang, who was lying on the velvet blanket, know what he said, and saw Isabel signaling that Daisy, a blonde beauty who had not left, could leave, and as soon as Daisy left, Wu Dai and Emina opened the canvas tent door and entered the tent, so that the whirring wind and sand naturally took advantage of the void, and the air in the tent became a little muddy, and the light was worse.

"Isabel, what did Uncle Issam say?"

As soon as Udai and Emina walked into the tent barefoot, Udai said a few words of Arabic to Isabel who disintegrated the tranquilizer gun and put it in the gun box, Uncle Issam who had just left was a very powerful Berber guide, saying that there would be a sandstorm in the desert today Uncle Issam himself said, and when something happened in the camp, the uncle should have gone to the desert to find a place to meditate, if the uncle was in the camp, there would be no such embarrassing things happening.

Isabel put away the box with the gun, put it in the corner of the tent, picked up the old military flat kettle with red wine on the toolbox, took two sips according to her personal custom, screwed on the lid of the kettle and put it back on the toolbox, took off the sandals on her feet, and then took a long breath and said in Arabic: "Uncle Issam said that this man is very powerful, but he will not endanger the safety of the members of the expedition team, if he can be kept in the team, it may help us, didn't we get the news a few days ago, In the desert, there have been cases of tourists traveling by car being robbed by robbers, but we don't even know his identity now, and the uncle's advice doesn't seem very reliable? ”

At this time, the wind outside the tent tended to increase, and the whining sound of the wind blowing on the surface of the desert sand became more and more obvious, even if the canvas of the canvas tent was supported by alloy supports, with ropes and anchors fixed to the sand, it was also swayed from side to side by the wind and made a burst of noise, Isabel spoke a little loudly, otherwise Udai and Emina would not be able to hear it clearly.

"Didn't you just stay in the tent for a while and didn't ask? Well, look at my brain, I've been hit by an anesthetic needle that can subdue a rhinoceros, and no one can still speak normally."

Emina, who seemed quieter than Udai, spoke a paragraph of Arabic, and later said that she was a little self-deprecating, her dark eyes blinked, and she looked at Isabel with a somewhat twisted expression, Emina knew that as a team leader, Isabel's IQ was not low, and she regretted that she had said the wrong thing.

"It's probably Chinese, I said don't say it for the time being, whether it's not sure yet, we"

Isabel had to stop after a few noncommittal words in Arabic, the canvas door of the tent was lifted, and a Berber guide with a veil appeared at the door, holding a set of folded gray-white robes with an extra folded white cloth on top of the robe, and the three women in the tent looked at him, and the Berber said in Berber: "Uncle Issam asked me to send a robe and a white cloth to apologize, we initially thought of him as a terrifying man-eating monster in the desert in the legend, The way he started waving his arms, and the skinned snake meat around his neck and the lizard meat on his shoulders all added up to the same as the tribe's wizards telling the monsters to dress up as humans, but now it looks like a misunderstanding, please tell him our apologies! We put away the snake meat and lizard meat, Uncle Issam said, it is not a sin to eat these in the desert, and he is worried about spoilage and is ready to use it to stew a pot of soup, he will deal with this, and the sandstorm will stop in the afternoon, and Uncle will go to the well to get some snakes to put in the soup. ”

The Berber lips spoke through the scarf without any difficulty, Isabel took the robe and the white cloth with a serious face, and said a few words in Berber Watching the guide turn around and walk out of the tent, then he frowned and looked at Udai and Emina speaking French: "You also heard, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, fortunately there was no accident, but there is also a problem of witchcraft here, the Berber guides are very accurate in seeing people, they believe in intuition very much, indicating that this person has certain qualities that we still don't understand and frightening, Those guides are obviously in a respectful mood, including Uncle Issam, who is also cautious, I don't know if you can see it? Now I'm more and more suspicious of this person's origins, our research project includes witchcraft, some things are hard to say, this person appears in such a strange way! Even if we find out where he came from, I don't think we can just say it! ”

For what Isabel said, Udai and Emina, who are working partners, were deeply convinced, and after a brief discussion, the three decided to stay in the tent with Isabel alone, and Udai and Emina simply packed up the things in the tent, turned off the notebook, and left the tent with the prayer blanket.

There is one of the largest tents in the camp that is used for group prayer when the wind and sand rise, and it could have been used to wash abussure in the tent (the steps of Muslim believers to clean part of their bodies with water before prayer, such as washing their faces, washing their hands, wiping a quarter of their head, and washing their feet over their ankle bones are regarded as indispensable steps before prayer), but there is an outsider in the tent, or a man, it seems a little inappropriate, Udai and Emina look trendy, but in fact they are still Muslims, and they have to wash abusl in the tents of other female colleagues, Believers pay attention to a kind of piety, even in the poor conditions in the wilderness, they must try to do the required prayers, and daily worship is the homework of the believers and cannot be slack.

Isabel was irreproachably religious about Udei and Emina, two colleagues who had been working together for years, and who tried to worship as well as they could, whenever they could, with a reverent heart.

Because the mission of this expedition team is special, will go deep into the desert, the environment is very harsh, the guide has to focus on doing a good job of the guide, it is in view of this practical consideration, this time Isabel found the Berber guide does not have to do worship, they are all from a desert tribe, is a small number of Northwest Africa do not believe in Islam and respect the primitive religion of the Berber tribe, the expedition team is equipped with a large tent, specially provided for the Muslim believers in the team for collective worship

At dusk, the raging sandstorm has disappeared, located in the tent camp behind the tall sand dunes next to the date palm trees, everyone is busy for a while to clear the sand and dust from the tents and off-road vehicles, and then sit around the sand to have a bonfire party (the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, and the temperature will be very low at night).

The number of people wearing the uniform of the off-white expedition was the largest, the men and women combined were just ten people, and there were seven Berber guides wearing gray-white robes and scarves to cover their faces, and the clothes that looked more prominent were Gordon and his female companion Daisy, as well as Song Xiaoshuang, an uninvited guest, Gordon and Daisy were wearing wide blue-gray denim suits, although Song Xiaoshuang was wearing an off-white robe, but he did not have a scarf to cover his head and face.

The so-called bonfire party is actually to collect the dead branches of the shrubs in the nearby desert and light a bonfire, and set up portable pots and pans next to the fire, which are used to boil some broth, boil some tea, and make some roast mutton, and use the flour dough after adding water to make a cake, of which the crispy and fragrant dough is the staple food.

This dough is filled with date palm fruit plucked from the date palm tree, and the pits have been removed beforehand.

Song Xiaoshuang, who had recovered from the paralyzing effect of the anesthetic injection, was wearing a gray and white robe with a stand-up collar (the white cloth was used for underwear), sitting barefoot on the sand by the bonfire, stuffing a piece of dough weighing nearly a pound with fragrant fragrance into his stomach in three or two, standing up and walking a few steps by himself, scooping some snake soup soup from the soup pot into the light alloy lunch box with a soup spoon, returning to the position just now with the lunch box, sitting down and enjoying the stomach while it was hot, ignoring the disdainful look of the rich second-generation son Brother Gordon next to him, Daisy, the blonde woman beside him, gave him a courtesy look.

Song Xiaoshuang didn't care about this, and gestured with his eyes and gestures to Isabel who was pouring boiling tea into the enamel cup, his enamel cup just put dry mint leaves and don't put sugar, Song Xiaoshuang felt that this kind of enamel cup that can hold 300 ml of water, how to look like it was sold from abroad, although the cup has a pattern of two dromedaries around it.

Then Song Xiaoshuang's attention seemed to be on Uncle Isam, a Berber who had been covered with a veil and a scarf to make a good pancake, humming a rhythmic Arabic ballad while making pancakes on a black iron plate with flour dough by the fire. Originally, there were musical instruments in the team that helped to entertain the unique desert peoples, but at this time no one used them, and everyone by the fire heard the wonderful points, regardless of men and women and beliefs, they couldn't stop applauding, and even the two Berber guides who were making barbecue meat would temporarily stop making barbecue and applaud to cheer Uncle Issam.

During the period when the sandstorm was raging, Song Xiaoshuang had enough time to recover from anesthesia, and finally figured out a lot of things.

Knowing that his location is in the heart of the Sahara Desert in West Africa, the name of a black-haired female man wearing black-rimmed glasses is Isabel, a proper Frenchman, an anthropologist who studies ancient religions and witchcraft culture under UNESCO, the two Arab female colleagues around him are Udai and Emina, and the name of the middle-aged Arab uncle who entered the tent and looked at him is Issam, the leader of the Berber guides, and some of the origins, the names of Gordon, a handsome second-generation rich guy from the United States, and his girlfriend Daisy, was also "betrayed" to Song Xiaoshuang, who was secretly concerned about Isabel in her heart, as for other Berber guides and colleagues in the expedition team engaged in scientific research, Song Xiaoshuang was not interested in knowing, and Isabel saw that Song Xiaoshuang was not interested in knowing, so she didn't say it.

This is how Isabel has surprised her, she thought that Song Xiaoshuang would not speak until tomorrow at the earliest, but did not expect that this Chinese had not yet arrived in the evening, and he was alive and kicking, Isabel so far thought that Uncle Issam said that Song Xiaoshuang was a very powerful person, as the leader of a scientific expedition team, Isabel had her own ideas, but Song Xiaoshuang knew little about it
