Chapter 20: The Inverted Pyramid
It was a very strange set of murals.
Whether it is a golden pagoda or an ancient tomb, the murals that appear inside must have recorded the life of the person lying inside.
In the set of pictures that Pete received, it was a complete record of the entire process of a ruler from birth to death.
However, the group of images does not end with death, but continues to expand, and the characters in the paintings appear again in their twenties, continuing to run his country.
After the fourth cycle, the mural suddenly disappears.
After seeing this set of pictures, Pete immediately believed that this upside-down gold tower must have hidden the secret of immortality.
But several waves of people were sent one after another, but none of them came back alive.
Seeing his body getting weaker and weaker, the fear of death and the desire for immortality drove him into complete madness.
In order to allow Su Yuru to work for himself, Pete formed a complete archaeological team through his connections and sent an invitation to Su Yuru in the name of the American government.
Su Yuru didn't know what to do, so she readily agreed, was appointed as the deputy captain, and went to the pyramid.
Under her leadership, the archaeological team successfully entered the second layer, and found a fingernail-sized crystal wrapped in gilt, and inside the crystal, wrapped in a drop of dark red liquid, there was a faint hint of purple gold in the strong light.
Su Yuru wanted to notify the relevant departments as soon as possible, but was stopped by the captain, who asked Su Yuru to hand over the things to him, and he contacted the relevant departments.
Su Yuru realized that there must be something wrong with this, but she did not refuse immediately, but took it away for technical treatment on the grounds that she was worried that there were harmful gases left on it, and escaped from the pyramid by taking advantage of her unpreparedness.
In order to prevent that thing from falling into the hands of someone with a heart, he secretly brought it back to China.
After Pete got the news, he almost died of anger, and immediately sent people to Huaxia to find Su Yuru's whereabouts, but he never found it.
The last news he got about Su Yuru and his wife was the same as Qin Qing, they went to the United States, and then the clue was broken.
Pete had long thought of using Qin Qing as bait to force Su Yuru to hand over that thing, but since he never got any news from Su Yuru and his wife, even if he caught Qin Qing, there was no way for them to know, so he never made a move.
Not long ago, he suddenly learned the news that Qin Qing had those purple scales on his body, so he immediately sent someone to arrest Qin Qing, but he was a step too late, and when his people arrived, Qin Qing had already left.
Annoyed, a few days earlier his men found a purple scale in the same place where the thing had been found in the pyramid.
In desperation, Pete could only let people arrest Liu Wei and Xiaoqi first, but they ran away halfway.
His frequent appearance in Huaxia has already attracted the attention of the Huaxia security department, so he can only lure Liu Wei to send it to the door himself in this way.
After completing all the relevant procedures, Liu Wei suddenly realized that he should not take Xiaoqi to the United States with him.
In addition to Xiao Qi's physical reasons, another important reason is that Liu Wei is not sure that he can protect him.
After thinking about it, Liu Wei still decided to leave Xiaoqi behind and entrust it to others to take care of.
But for so many years, he didn't have any friends, and the only thing he could think of was the retired old dean --- Xiu Siming.
Xiu Siming has always taken good care of Liu Wei, and in the years in the orphanage, only Xiu Siming has always cared for this child who doesn't like to talk.
Later, Liu Wei and Qiyue grew up and left the orphanage one after another, but they would go to visit Xiu Siming's house together during the New Year's holidays.
Later, he went abroad in July, and Xiu Siming also retired.
However, Liu Wei still visits him several times a year.
Xiu Siming has only one daughter, and he has long settled in Sunset, and he has tried to immigrate to him several times, but he has refused.
In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Wei took Xiaoqi to Xiu Siming's house.
When he and Qin Qing got married, Xiu Siming met Xiao Qi, and jokingly said that Xiao Qi's personality was exactly the same as Liu Wei when he was a child.
Seeing Liu Wei and Xiao Qilai, Xiu Siming was very happy and enthusiastically left them to eat at home.
At the dinner table, Liu Wei whispered to Xiu Siming:
"Uncle Xiu, I have something I want to ask you for."
Xiu Siming smiled at Xiao Qinunu and said clearly:
"Take care of him, won't you?"
Liu Wei was stunned:
"How do you know?"
Xiu Siming glanced at Liu Wei lightly and said:
"You grew up beside me since you were a child, I know your character too well, this time you didn't bring Qin Qing with me, I knew what happened, but Xiao Qi is by your side again, so it must not be a problem with your relationship, the first time I saw Qin Qing, I knew that she was a person with a story, you need to be busy, you can go and be busy, Xiao Qi is here, you can rest assured, I am really not used to leaving you little guys for so many years."
Liu Wei was dumbfounded.
I have to say that Xiu Siming's observation and logical thinking are indeed very powerful.
He smiled bitterly and said to Xiu Siming:
"Uncle Xiu, I'm sorry, I can't tell you what happened, but please help me take care of Xiaoqi."
Xiu Siming raised his hand and patted Liu Wei's shoulder, sighed and said:
"Don't worry, I promise you, Xiaoqi and I will take care of it, but you have to remember that no matter what you do, you must think twice, don't be impulsive, there are many ways to solve problems, you can't get into the horns, you can't use extreme ways."
Liu Wei nodded solemnly:
"Don't worry, I will definitely remember your words, by the way, Xiaoqi only eats the kind of rice I brought you last time, and this time I brought some more, it should be enough for you to eat for a few days, I will come back as soon as possible!"
When he came out of Xiu Siming's house, it was already dark, and Liu Wei looked up at the starry sky, his mood extremely solemn.
Back at home, Liu Wei took the millet out of his pocket and held it in his hand, trying to communicate with it:
"Xiaomi, can you hear me?"
After a while, a somewhat lazy voice suddenly sounded in his heart:
"Of course you can, didn't you already speak last time? Also, can you please not call me Xiaomi? It's like a cheap phone brand. ”
Liu Wei almost laughed, but he didn't expect that he had learned a lot about things on Earth during this time, probably from TV commercials.
"Okay, okay, I don't call you Xiaomi, so you say, what should I call you?"
After waiting for a while, the voice of the grain of rice sounded again:
"Hmm...... Let me think about it, I'm going to give myself a nice name, ...... Deer Cold! ”
"Poof!"
As soon as Liu Wei drank a sip of water in his mouth, he immediately sprayed it all in the palm of his hand, and the grain of rice immediately floated in the water.
