Chapter XXXVIII A Trip to Egypt
When we arrived in Beijing, we quickly joined Brother Dong and Sister Yue.
Brother Dong was beaten all over his head by his mother, "My mom, I didn't hit me in the face, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pick up girls... Hey, I said Sister Yue, why are you dressed up like a little Zhengtai, you can't be feminine, at least it's pleasing to the eye. ”
Sister Yue slapped the bag on Brother Dong's head directly, and Brother Dong screamed in pain.
"You know a fart, we went to Egypt, don't you know that it's *** over there? Do you know how much of an eyesore it is for a woman to move over there! As he spoke, he continued to hit his bag a few more times.
"Ouch, stop, stop... Stop.. Brother Dong covered his head and shouted.
"Grass." When I looked up, I saw the general calling me in the distance.
So he pulled them to the side of the general.
The general, with his usual smile, looked at us, pulled out a cigarette, lit it and smoked it. The assistant next to him whispered, "General, no smoking in the airport!" ”
"Oh, okay, thanks!" The general, still smoking a cigarette, said to us:
"Xiaocao, this operation, you are on a tourist visa, and the soldiers can't go, but we will send local personnel to meet you and help you complete the mission. After I went, I had my own person pick up the plane there, so I must first ask Professor Shreif to find out the situation, and the location of the pyramid tomb is only known to the professor. Weapons and equipment will arrive two days late. Your mobile phone can contact me directly, regardless of the international dialing code. Don't alarm the embassy until you have to, this operation of yours is top secret, understand? The general simply arranged the matter.
I nodded, looked at everyone, Brother Dong was still talking to Sister Yue, I turned around and looked at the general solemnly and said, "I know the general, but if ,,, we fail this operation, are you prepared for our aftermath work?" ”
As soon as I said this, everyone fell silent and looked at me.
The general looked at me with that kind of interested expression again, and said with a smile: "You can say this, which means that you should have a good chance of winning this operation." After saying that, he turned around, waved his hand and left. The assistant next to him whispered, "General, smoking is not allowed here, look, the guards are here!" ”
Watching them walk away, I smiled and shook my head, I didn't quite understand why the general said that, but with his capable style, he should be ready for anything. As soon as I turned around and met the eyes of the three of them, as if they were staring at me with an unfamiliar look, I quickly pulled them on the plane.
The flight to Egypt was long, but I didn't feel sleepy at all. I have always kept in mind the mural that Wu Lao showed me in the base, what does that pattern mean? Why didn't the general say the specific mission there, if my guess is correct, it should be the general, and they don't know what kind of situation they will face. Wait, maybe it is ... I suddenly felt uneasy in my heart ...
The plane flew all night, arrived at Cairo Airport, it was already morning, thought about things all the way, my head was clouded, I got off the plane, quickly washed my face, and instantly sobered up. When we arrived at the exit, we looked for someone to pick us up. There were a lot of pick-up stations outside, and before we could stand firmly, several people rushed up to us and said in non-standard Chinese, "Do you need to take a taxi?" Cheap. ”
I quickly found out the phone and called the number given by the general? Sure enough, looking at a student-looking person in the distance, picked up the phone. So I said hello and walked over with everyone.
"Hello, my name is Wu Le, I am Professor Wu's grandson, you are tired on the road, come with me, I will wait for you to go to the place where you live." Xiao Wu enthusiastically helped us load everything into the car.
The whole journey was smooth and the view from the window was very beautiful. The cities of Egypt, full of date palms and the Nile River running through them, are not at all deserts as I thought. Xiao Wu has been playing *** style music, which is too harmonious with this exotic style. Unlike us, most of the buildings in Cairo are earthy yellow. There are also a lot of roofs that are in tatters. Xiao Wu said that it is because in Egypt if you have to pay a lot of taxes after the house is built, so the common people leave the roof of the house, and it seems that the construction has not been completed, but the people have already lived in it. When I arrived in the city, there were more and more people on the streets, some wearing modern clothes and some wearing long robes, and the women were all dressed in black and covered themselves tightly. There are a lot of street vendors, and it is very lively.
Looking at such a prosperous market, I sometimes think that they are all thousands of years old, and different civilizations will indeed create different societies. These must be beyond the control of those photons.
When I entered the city, I started to get stuck in traffic, so I chatted with Xiao Wu: "Xiao Wu, how much do you know about Professor Shreif's research?" ”
"I can only say that I understand a little, neither he nor my grandfather allowed me to intervene too much." It seems that it is indeed a relatively confidential study.
"I said, Xiao Wu, we'll see that Professor Shreif in a moment." Brother Dong seemed to sense my intentions, so he also asked.
"Well, yes, he sent me a message today asking me to pick you up and take you to his house." Xiao Wu said while driving.
"By the way, did you come here to study Grandpa's project? I heard my grandfather say that you are all scholars, and you all look so young. Xiao Wu suddenly asked.
"Oh, we're actually students of your grandfather's friend, we can't be called scholars, and we're going to take a look around after we're done researching." I blurted out that I kind of admired my ability to lie and not type drafts.
"It's like, it's so easy to come and don't look at the pyramids, right?" Xiao Wu smiled, and in the later chat, he was all introducing the attractions of Egypt. Brother Dong listened to it with relish, but I didn't listen to it much. It seems that Xiao Wu didn't get much information from here.
Finally arriving at Professor Shreif's house, we moved our luggage and Wu knocked on the door. After waiting for a while but no one opened, Xiao Wu scratched his head strangely. After a while, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it and said, "Yo, the text message sent by the professor, I didn't see it just now, he went out, I'll go find the key, and you will stay first." ”
"The professor is out?" I asked, confused.
"Yes, somewhat suddenly. I'm going to get the keys. With that, he ran to his neighbor on the other side.
"Xiaocao, what's wrong, you're thinking about things all the way." Brother Dong asked me.
"It's okay, I think it's a little weird."
After a while, Xiao Wu came back, opened the door for us, and after settling us down, he left the car keys and left.
"You said that this old man, people came and he was not there, really. I haven't eaten yet, so I'll go to the kitchen and take a look. Brother Dong complained and went to find the kitchen. Dusty Wind and Sister Yue began to pack their luggage.
I hurried to contact the general. "General, we've arrived at the professor's residence, but it's a little strange, you can send me a picture of Professor Shreif."
"Okay, what's weird?"
"The professor is not there, and the key was left to the neighbor, and I think that if the research project is so important, the key should not be left to outsiders."
"Okay, understood, you guys should be cautious, observe first, I will contact Wu Lao here, your equipment will arrive tomorrow, and I will send you the photos of the contact person and the professor immediately." After saying that, the general hung up the phone.
"Hey, come and see." Brother Dong shouted in the kitchen.
So a few of us ran over and suddenly found him staring at the refrigerator. I looked into the fridge and a rancid smell wafted out, and I saw green hairs on a few slices of bread and rotting things like sauce. Some of the things on the plate, I don't know what they are, are all hairy.
"What do you think we're going to eat for lunch? Do you want to contact Xiao Wu? Brother Dong said helplessly.
"That's not right, hasn't the professor been out for a long time?" Sister Yue looked at me.
I suddenly felt bad and looked at Dustwind, who nodded. So he pulled Brother Dong and Sister Yue out of the door, and Chenfeng was the last to come out.
"What do you mean, why are we going out to eat?" Brother Dong looked at me.
"yes, if we don't come out to eat, we'll starve to death." I laughed and said out loud.
Then he approached them and whispered.
"Maybe there's surveillance around the house, let's go farther." After everyone listened, they didn't say anything, and we didn't start talking until we walked a distance. There seemed to be a market in front of us, so we squeezed in to find something to eat.
Entering the bazaar, we were immediately attracted by the dazzling array of goods and various snacks. After a while, his hands were stuffed with grilled meat, scones, and grilled chicken rice. We found a roadside, squatted on the ground, and began to eat.
"Xiaocao, what do you mean by that?" After Brother Dong asked, he stuffed a mouthful of meat into his mouth.
"The food in the refrigerator looks like it's been sitting for a few days, which means that the professor should be away from home for a while. Xiao Wu who picked us up didn't know that his mentor was out, how could he not tell Xiao Wu. If I'm guessing correctly, something may have happened to the professor. "I'll give you a quick idea of what I think.
"The worst thing now is that only the professor knows the location of the tomb." Sister Yue put down the food in her hand and said anxiously.
"Maybe it's really going out for a while, right? Did you tell the general about the situation? Brother Dong continued to ask.
"Well, that's it, he's confirming with Wu Lao that one of them will go back and be careful."
Suddenly a little boy ran up to us and spoke not very fluent Chinese, "Brother, buy a refrigerator magnet, 10 yuan, RMB." ”
I looked at him and smiled, waved my hand and said no.
The little boy suddenly grabbed my clothes, "Brother, this is 10 yuan." Buy one," I watched as he held a black whirring object in his hand. So he took out 10 yuan and gave it to him, saying, "I don't want anything, the money will be given to you." ”
The little boy, suddenly took the money, stuffed it into my hand, and shouted, "You guys, run!" And then he slipped away.
I didn't quite understand what the child meant, so I looked down at the thing in my hand, and was suddenly stunned, this is a piece of black wood, but there is a black hole stone symbol engraved on it, and there is a series of Arabic characters on the back, and a few Chinese characters, which are written crookedly, 'The professor is here'. Hurriedly showed them, and everyone suddenly became nervous. But the kid was long gone.
"Ouch, I'll go!" Brother Dong suddenly burst out.
I looked up sharply and looked in the direction that Brother Dong was looking, and I saw a group of big men walking towards us. There's still a guy in hand.
"It's not good, go, run!" I hurriedly shouted at a few of them. As soon as everyone saw that the situation was wrong, they quickly turned around and ran. Looking back, the big men also began to chase us.
"Xiaocao, what the is this?" Sister Yue shouted as she ran.
"Don't ask! Come on! Brother Dong shouted.
In the bustling market, it was very difficult to run, you had to see where everyone was running, and you had to pay attention to the people who were catching up behind us, and many things were knocked over by us. We don't care about anything else, we can run as fast as we can.
I saw Brother Dong run past a stall selling Egyptian women's headscarves, and he had one hanging on him. So I ran over, grabbed a few headscarves, threw a hundred-dollar bill at the boss, and ran.
"Dust Wind, Sister Yue, catch it!" With that, I threw the headscarf to them.
"Xiaocao, what are you doing here!" Sister Yue shouted.
I didn't answer, I picked up the headscarf as I ran, and from head to toe, only my eyes were exposed, and I was completely hidden in a black headscarf, no different from the local Egyptian women. The two of them rushed to do it when they saw it.
Suddenly, Brother Dong shouted, "Alas?。。 What about the Nima?。。 ”
Before he could finish shouting, he was surrounded by the turban that Dustwind hung on his own body.
The four of us quickly squeezed into the crowd, and we took a breath as we watched the big men pass by us. Brother Dong approached me and gave me a thumbs up, and I winked at him and looked at an electric tricycle next to me.
Not to mention, there are many things in China that Africans still like very much. At first glance, these three wheels are made in China.
"It's too dangerous here, hurry back!" I whispered.
I saw Brother Dong, little by little, twisting and walking to the uncle standing on the tricycle, I, he was pretending to be a woman, some spicy eyes, I didn't want to look at him when I looked back, and I watched around to see if there were those people chasing us.
"That's it! Get in! "Brother Dong came over on three wheels.
"Damn, Brother Dong, yes, why do you want to get there." I looked at Brother Dong in surprise.
A few of us quickly got into the car. As soon as Brother Dong turned on the power, he drove out.
"Why are you here? Hum! Money is a good thing! Brother Dong pouted and said.
"I said, the money is burning a little fast, let's go back and reimburse." Brother Dong chattered while opening.
"I said you drive well, what a lot of words." A few of us continued to see if anyone was chasing after us.
"Hurry up, someone is coming!" Dustwind shouted.
Sure enough, there were two or three people chasing. The tricycle can't run the fastest because of the weight of the four of us.
"Quick! Fast! ”
"It can't be any faster!"
"Throw, take something and throw it!" Sister Yue shouted, picked up something similar to a potato from the pocket of the car and threw it, and I threw it too, but maybe we couldn't hit anyone. Seeing that the potatoes are almost gone.
"Stop! I got it! "I saw that the dust wind single-handedly stopped us. Holding one hand over his forehead and frowning.
I saw him holding a potato, the posture was the same as throwing a dart, swishing a few times, one potato and one person, all smashed on the head, and it was solved in an instant.
After we opened for another while, we saw that we were far away from the market, and we could finally let go of our hanging hearts.
Brother Dong turned on the chatter mode, "Actually, if we fight head-to-head, we won't necessarily lose." ”
I patted him and said, "The general said, don't alarm the embassy." Drive well, three-wheeled driver. ”
"Don't worry, I'll drive, or I'll take you on a three-wheeled tour of Egypt. I said it's been so long, it's going to be fine. What else are you looking at! "Brother Dong looked back at us.
"Well, I said, "Little grass, you don't look like an Egyptian woman who drives three wheels. Block take a picture of me. ”
"Like, like an Egyptian aunt!" After saying that, I suddenly saw an African elephant popping out in front of me! Hurry up and shout
"Elephant! Elephant... elephant".
"Like. Take a snapshot. "Brother Dong is still looking back at us.
"Elephant, elephant!" Sister Yue also shouted. It's about to hit it!
"I said how do you guys..!" Before Brother Dong finished speaking, his head was turned back by the dust wind.
"Ahh
There was a violent shock, and we all tumbled down, except for the dust and wind, and all three of us fell into the mound.
As soon as I turned over and stood up, I spit out the sand and weeds in my mouth, and cursed, "Brother Dong, do you think that we can't afford to be beaten and lost, and we must be injured!" ”
"Dongzi, don't move, you hammer, you fell to death for me, let me punch a few times to relieve my anger!" Sister Yue yelled angrily.
Brother Dong stood up and ran quickly. Sister Yue chased behind.
I was about to catch up when suddenly Dust Wind grabbed me by the shoulder:
"Xiaocao, what did you mean by the aftermath work you talked about with the general at the airport before."
Looking at Dustwind's serious eyes, I stammered a little, "No, it's nothing, I just asked casually." ”
"Really?" Dusty Wind stared at me, the force in his hand increased, and my shoulder hurt a little.
I quickly nodded and said with a smile, "Really, you're thinking too much." ”
Although he still didn't believe me in his eyes. But he let go of his hand and walked on.
Brother Dong in front was still being chased and beaten by Sister Yue, and from time to time he ran behind Dusty Wind to dodge. The figures of the three of them formed a beautiful scenery in the afterglow of the setting sun, and I watched intently, and I wanted to remember this moment vigorously.
Looking at Dusty Wind, Brother Dong and Sister Yue, I silently made up my mind in my heart, although my ability is limited, but this time I will protect you.
