Chapter 117: Borrowing

Before Dr. Constantine's words fell, Song Xiaoshuang frowned slightly, his expression became cold, and he said quickly: "Didn't Isabel go to the jungle of South America to study the cultural relics of the ancients, she has time to tell you what I am doing?" ”

"As soon as the news of the Air France flight failure forced landing in the desert north of Mali was sent, Isabel, who was still in Brasilia, already knew that you would not return to China in the short term, and now most of the Air France passengers who originally stayed in Timbuku have already flown to Paris, France through Bamako, and only a very small number of passengers have decided to continue to stay in Mali, and we didn't pay special attention to you originally, but our research work has encountered a big setback, and the difficulties are great, Dr. Konstantin and Isabel have worked together, Decided to ask Isabel what a good idea she could get, and she introduced you to the team of cultural studies experts! ”

Guessing that Song Xiaoshuang was not very willing to help, Dr. Fan Chaoran, who was about the same height as Dr. Constantine at 175 centimeters tall and had a strong scholarly bearing, spoke standard Mandarin and briefly explained how he found Song Xiaoshuang.

However, Dr. Fan Chaoran's tone faintly revealed a certain kind of arrogance inherent in scholars, compared to the "pragmatic" and direct Dr. Constantine, it seems that it is not so low-key and a little strong, for which even Liang Li and Sima Yuru obviously feel.

Liang Li couldn't help but shake her head secretly, secretly thinking that it was best for Dr. Fan Chaoran not to raise flags such as patriotism, although Dr. Fan Chaoran is Chinese, but now he is working under the banner of the United Nations, not working alone for the country, even if there are any research results, they belong to UNESCO, Liang Li knows very well that Song Xiaoshuang's past experience made him a nationalist, but he hates all bureaucratic styles, regardless of whether they are Chinese or not.

Sima Yuru didn't think too much about it, in her opinion, since the two doctors started from the clues of some public channels of the United Nations agencies in Gao City, and found Song Xiaoshuang in the xxx military contracting company, it means that they also don't know Song Xiaoshuang very well.

After all, she used to be a dormant agent, and there were not many people within the military intelligence system who knew her identity, and she was also tasked with monitoring and observing Song Xiaoshuang's various activities, and there was no sudden and urgent change in the situation, and the task of staying by Song Xiaoshuang's side to monitor and observe had to continue.

If Song Xiaoshuang promised the two doctors to help with some very tricky things, she would still intervene and mix with Song Xiaoshuang.

For Liang Li and Sima Yuru's expressions remained unchanged, but what they were thinking in their hearts, Song Xiaoshuang could still guess part of it, but now was not the time to discuss these.

Thinking of this, Song Xiaoshuang gestured for the two doctors to sit casually (there were several plastic chairs in the room that overlapped and put together), and after seeing that Dr. Konstantin and Dr. Fan Chaoran took the chair and sat down, Song Xiaoshuang also sat on the chair behind him, the cold expression on his face had disappeared, and he said quickly: "What do the two doctors drink?" ”

"If there's red wine, just give me a glass of red wine!"

"Same as Konstantin!"

Hearing Song Xiaoshuang say this, the two doctors who had just sat down quickly said that they could drink some red wine.

The reaction of the two doctors has been expected by Song Xiaoshuang and Liang Li, the desert lonely city of Gao was recovered from the armed forces of the extreme rebels, the people's hearts are unstable, all kinds of living materials are not very abundant, most of the food circulating in the market is related to eating, and it is already a very good treatment to be able to drink red wine.

Song Xiaoshuang glanced at Liang Li who was standing, and motioned for her to take out a bottle of red wine that she had hidden, and secretly made a gesture, Liang Li's pair of Danfeng eyes blinked slightly, and she understood what Song Xiaoshuang wanted her to do, and after glancing at Song Xiaoshuang slightly, she waved to Sima Yuru and walked out, and Sima Yuru followed and walked out.

Seeing Sima Yuru's back disappear into the corridor outside the door, Song Xiaoshuang retracted his gaze and looked at the two doctors, and said with a somewhat strange expression on his face: "Dr. Constantine, how did Isabel introduce me?" I'm not a scholar of cultural studies! ”

The light in Dr. Constantine's blue-gray eyes flickered, and the fingers of his big white hands pulled the large lapels of his pale yellow lapel jacket, and the dust on the lapels fell significantly.

Dr. Constantine ignored this, and said in Chinese with some hesitation: "Isabel is a cutting-edge scholar in the study of ancient religion and witchcraft culture, a top anthropologist and very influential within UNESCO, she said that you are a wizard who understands witchcraft and has a very strong ability, which can be of great help to our rescue research on the damaged buildings and structures of the ancient city of Gao, especially the royal tomb area, and the extreme rebel forces brainwashed by extremist ideas wantonly destroyed the royal tombs in the Gao region. We have just taken over the study of a badly damaged royal tomb from the Malian government army, and we are going to collect data to prepare for the restoration of the entire structure of the royal tomb after doing the relevant research, but we have encountered great difficulties! Well, that, are you really that kind of powerful wizard? ”

Hearing Isabel's stubborn belief that she was a wizard, Song Xiaoshuang felt a little helpless, this white female scientist of mixed French and Arab descent, the obsession in her heart is so strong, everyone is in the South American rainforest and she doesn't forget to make trouble for him, how many times have she said that she is not a wizard, but she just doesn't believe it or said it on purpose, this is a proper way to pit teammates.

"I'm not a wizard, I just know how to order a secret spell or something, how do you want me to help?"

Song Xiaoshuang was talking with a serious face, and when he spoke, he had noticed that Dr. Konstantin's expression was a little gloomy, but there was not much obvious expression on the face of Dr. Fan Chaoran, who was also sitting.

Song Xiaoshuang didn't care about this, this fifty-year-old Dr. Fan Chaoran, as a Chinese scholar, it is easy to understand that he has arrogance, but Song Xiaoshuang prefers to have a simple and direct contact with Dr. Constantine, a Chinese scholar like Dr. Fan Chaoran is too profound, Song Xiaoshuang has no idea of secretly competing with Dr. Fan Chaoran, which is meaningless.

When the atmosphere in the room was a little solidified, Liang Li and Sima Yuru, who were wearing training uniforms, had already gone and returned, Liang Li was carrying two bottles of red wine with short necks and glass bottles and five enamel cups with a volume of 100 milliliters, Sima Yuru was carrying a tray covered with a white gauze scarf, and the two women walked into the simple and unfurnished room without slowness and put everything on the table.

Song Xiaoshuang knew that there was only one kind of food on the tray, and the pancakes made with fruit filling and various meat fillings were added locally in Gao, although the pancakes were very ordinary, they were one of the staple foods of the people in Gao.

Most of the members of Liang Li's mercenary squad are not averse to this kind of food, it was Liang Li who specially asked people to buy it from a pancake shop in the market when she returned to Gao City.

Dr. Constantine was not surprised that Liang Li did not find the goblet, and was about to see if the red wine bottle on the table was corked or mechanically sealed, when he saw Liang Li holding the bottleneck with one hand and the lower half of the bottle with the other, and shook her hands.

Watching Liang Li pour red wine into the enamel cup with a neat and smooth wine bottle, not only Dr. Konstantin was stunned, but even Dr. Fan Chaoran's eyes were shining, he already knew in advance that the mercenary captain of the XXX Military Contracting Company operating in Gao was a woman, but he didn't expect that she was still an ancient martial arts cultivator with strong internal strength.

"Well, it's a custom red wine from South Africa, and it's a great wine!"

Dr. Constantine picked up the ceramic cup containing half a cup of red wine, and at first thought it was just a normal red wine to accompany the meal, and then showed a surprised look on his face, took the wine bottle and looked at the wine label on it, and spoke quickly in Chinese.

Dr. Fan Chaoran is much more "cultivated" than Dr. Constantine, and after drinking red wine with an enamel cup, he was only slightly stunned, and then lifted the corner of the white scarf on the tray with one hand, picked up a piece of pancake that was larger and thinner than the palms of both hands together, rolled it into a cylinder and stuffed it into his mouth, looking like a Sven person.

Regarding the reaction of Dr. Constantine and Dr. Fan Chaoran, Song Xiaoshuang, who was drinking red wine with a ceramic cup, just looked at Liang Li and showed a light smile.

Song Xiaoshuang remembered that Isabel still owed him an oak barrel of red wine, his expression moved, his eyes flashed, and he looked at Liang Li and motioned for her to take out the satellite phone.

Liang Li was sitting on a plastic chair with Sima Yuru drinking red wine in a ceramic cup, noticing that Song Xiaoshuang's eyes were looking at her, pursing her lips and looking a little unhappy, she took out a satellite phone from her trouser pocket and gently put it on the table.

Liang Li did this, so that Dr. Constantine, who was about to say what kind of predicament the expert team was facing soon after rushing to Gao City, stopped talking, shook his head and shrugged his shoulders slightly, and picked up a piece of pancake and stuffed it into his mouth like Dr. Fan Chaoran, the doctor is not stupid, this is obviously Song Xiaoshuang's plan to use a satellite phone to contact someone, except for Isabel who can't think of anyone else for the time being!

Song Xiaoshuang is not a mushroom, after expressing his apologies to the two doctors with his eyes, Isabel told him the satellite phone contact number in the memory of speed, carried the satellite phone to the corridor at the door, pulled out the old antenna and pressed the button to dial the number, with the mechanical busy sound that was dialing out the number After a while, a voice of a somewhat familiar woman Song Xiaoshuang speaking Arabic came from the satellite phone speaker, Song Xiaoshuang didn't care what she said about Arabic at all, and said in a low and strong voice:" Udai, it's me, tell Isabel that I have something to look for her! ”

"Song Xiaoshuang, oh my God, it's really you! Isabel told me you'll be calling soon, wait, we're in a makeshift camp right now, Isabel is fishing with homemade tackle, I'll go find her right away"

On the phone, the Arab girl Wu Dai was surprised that Song Xiaoshuang used a satellite phone to contact Distinct, and after saying a few words in Chinese with a somewhat strange tone, it was silent, but the call remained unblocked, and Song Xiaoshuang clearly heard the sound of rapid running footsteps and the slight sound of the human body quickly brushing the leaves.

"Oh, Song Xiaoshuang, it's really you! Dr. Constantine wanted me to contact a wizard I knew to solve tricky things, and the first thing I thought of was you, and he told me the basic situation, there are invisible obstacles in some areas of the underground structures of the royal tomb, and there are abnormal creatures in some places that may be dangerous, you know this, you will definitely be able to handle it, so you should help me."

Isabelle, who obviously took over the satellite phone from Wu Dai, spoke Chinese heartily on the phone, the temperament of the female man was very obvious, but Song Xiaoshuang felt a little crying and laughing, and after a few simple chats with Isabel, Song Xiaoshuang ended the call (satellite phone communication fees are not cheap), turned around and walked back to the room
