Chapter 65: Hamnata
In the darkness of the night, Evelyn stood by the Nile, staring in amazement at the red-burned, exploding and sinking ship in the distance, and groped herself up and down again.
There was not even a single water stain at all! Upon discovering this fact, Evelyn was dumbfounded, and she stammered, "What just happened?" You...... It's true...... Really took me flying?! ”
Spreading his hands, Han Lie looked back and saw that Jonathan and O'Connor were still dripping, so he replied, "Of course, I'll show you again, remember to see clearly!" ”
After that, another vertical leap was made on the surface of the river, and Jonathan and O'Connor under their feet were lifted one by one in the air, and fell to the shore again.
This coherent action rose and fell, but under Han Lie's deliberate suppression, it did not exceed the limit of Evelyn's visual observation.
So she was even more surprised, her hands fiddled with her hands at a loss, pulling her hair for a while, pressing her lips for a while, and staring at Han Lie with big eyes, "How did you do that?" ”
Smiling, Han Lie replied, "This is Chinese kung fu, a inherited skill from the ancient East, combining the essence of health preservation and fighting skills. ”
Hearing him say this, Evelyn stared at him in a daze, and after a while, she shook her head, "I don't understand, China...... Kung fu? How I've never heard of this term. ”
At this time, Jonathan reacted first, although he was also very surprised in his heart, but he was now holding the black cat in his arms, and he was covered in **.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert was very large, and he already felt a chill to his bones, so he quickly interrupted Evelyn and said, "You haven't heard a lot of things, sister, don't worry about these things for now, I think we have to make a fire." ”
O'Connor also came to his senses, nodded his head, took two steps forward, threw the weapon bag he was carrying on the dry ground, and echoed: "That's right, don't think too much about it for the time being, we have to rush to the oasis as much as possible." ”
Before he could finish speaking, suddenly a roar came from the other side, and a lewd man stood on the other side of the river, it was none other than the comrade who had survived with O'Connor at Hamnata with him, the villain Benny.
Benny yelled in this direction, "O'Connor! Hey, O'Connor! Haha, it looks like you're miserable, all the horses are on our side, hahahaha! ”
Apparently, O'Connor had just been on the ship, and had thrown him overboard, as in the original story, so much so that he wanted to taunt O'Connor when he took the opportunity.
Turning around, O'Connor looked left and right, then grinned and smirked back, "Hey! Benny! My old friend, it looks like you're on the wrong shore! Ha ha. ”
Benny was stunned for a moment, and quickly glanced around, then stamped his foot hatefully, and muttered angrily, "Oh my God, damn it, how did you get to the wrong shore." ”
Seeing his annoyed look, the remaining three people laughed along with O'Connor, but after laughing, they had to face reality.
Pulling his collar, O'Connor looked up at the moon and said to Han Lie, "This is still half a day's journey from the nearest Oasis Bazaar, we can't afford to delay." ”
Han Lie glanced at Evelyn and Jonathan, and replied, "Then let's go, there may be some dangers in the desert, you lead the way in front, and I will be behind." ”
Neatly grabbing the weapon bag, O'Connor took the lead and walked forward, "You're right, it's best to do this...... Hurry up, we have to hurry. ”
Later, he said it to Jonathan, who hurriedly followed behind O'Connor, but was still muttering dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you start a campfire and roast it first?" But I really feel cold. ”
Evelyn approached Han Lie, glanced at him deeply, and said faintly, "I found that you also have a lot of secrets, no worse than Hamnata Tower. ”
Haha smiled, turned sideways, stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Evelyn's fragrant shoulder, Han Lie replied: "Regarding this issue, we can slowly conduct more in-depth research and discussion in the future......
Under Han Lie's deliberate guidance, Evelyn's several attempts to explore his roots failed, either being diverted from the topic by three or two sentences, or being teased by Han Lie and eating tofu.
It wasn't until the sky was flushed with red glow and the sun was rising, that Evelyn, who had almost forgotten the passage of time in the frolic with Han Lie, suddenly reacted.
It seemed that after asking all night, he didn't even understand how old Han Lie was, and after tidying up the collar of his shirt that was messed up by Han Lie, Evelyn glared at him in shame and said coquettishly: "Han, you are so bad!" ”
Narrowly smiling, Han Lie replied in a strange tone, "Dear Eve, what's wrong with me?" Just now you obviously looked very comfortable. ”
Hearing this, Evelyn pursed her lips in embarrassment, she finally realized that she couldn't take advantage of anything when facing Han Lie, and her whole person was completely controlled by him.
After thinking about it, she pursed her lips and said, "I think I have to part with you for a while." With that, she turned her head and took a few steps to catch up with Jonathan.
Han Lie paced absently, with a leisurely smile on his face, hanging at the end.
After another half an hour, the four of them, led by O'Connor, arrived at the largest oasis market on the edge of the desert that they had to visit before setting out to explore the Tower of Hamna.
O'Connor said: "There are abundant underground water veins here, and it is the heart of human activity within a radius of several hundred kilometers, so you can sell everything!" ”
Indeed, as he said, in the bazaar, everything was sold, whether it was tools, food, fresh water, or most importantly, camels, as long as they spent money, they could buy what they wanted.
Without hesitation, they immediately began to replenish their provisions, and at the same time purchased four camels, which continued on their way towards Hamnata without stopping.
In the next few days, it was an extremely boring and boring trip, and the poet Wang Wei once wrote: "The desert is lonely, and the sun sets on the long river." It is a famous sentence sung through the ages.
But as long as you actually experience a desert walk, you will forget the wonderful artistic conception described in the verses, and only anxiety and impatience remain.
In the second half of the journey, Evelyn directly abandoned her car completely, transferred to Han Lie's camel, and rode with him, most of the time, snuggled into his arms and slept.
And when she woke up occasionally, she was always urging Han Lie to tell some weird little jokes to relieve her boredom.
In this simple and hot environment, even Han Lie felt very uncomfortable, although the body was completely bearable, but the mood was not very beautiful.
Fortunately, though, there was a seductive beauty in her arms, although it wasn't too obvious that Jonathan was walking with O'Connor.
However sneakily occupy a little small. It's cheap, and it's still very comfortable to enjoy Evelyn's shyness between half resisting and half indulging.
In the early morning of the third day, at the moment when the morning star was about to rise but had not yet risen, Han Lie suddenly felt something in his heart, and looked at the Gobi cliff in the moonlight, only to see a group of black-clothed people on war horses watching from afar on the cliff.
O'Connor also raised his head vigilantly, frowned and said, "They haven't given up yet, it seems that the next road will not be too peaceful." ”
Han Lie didn't respond, but narrowed his eyes, and a flash of divine light flashed in his eyes.
In the distance, the leader of the men in black who was watching there felt a tingling in his eyes, and he let out an exclamation of "ah" and fell off his horse.
O'Connor's eyesight was very good, and he was quite surprised to see this, and asked, "What did you do?" ”
Han Lie tugged at the reins, a chuckle on the corner of his mouth, "It's nothing, it's just a small warning to them, maybe it can reduce some trouble." ”
Glancing at Han Lie with a complicated gaze, O'Connor looked back at the cliff again, only to see that the men in black had disappeared at some point.
When the first rays of sunlight were about to pierce the darkness, the four of them arrived at a leeward pass.
And from the sand dunes in the distance, there was also a brigade of dozens of horsemen, and the leader was none other than Benny, who had been ridiculed by O'Connor on the other side of the river.
Before they could get closer, Benny shouted at O'Connor in the distance, "Good morning, my friend." ”
O'Connor turned his head and glanced at Han Lie, ignored him, and led a few people to walk slowly towards Benny's group, until the distance between them was three or four meters, and the two sides slowly stopped.
Behind Benny are a group of American explorers who hire him as a guide, or in other words, American tomb robbers, who also want to make a fortune in Hamnata.
One of them asked curiously, "What are we stopping here for?" What about the capital of the dead? Take us there and don't waste time. ”
Benny pinched his horsewhip and replied lightly, "Be patient, my friend, it's coming soon......"
Leaning on Han Lie's arm, Evelyn also asked him curiously, "Honey, what are we waiting for here?" ”
The boring rush in the past few days has instead become a catalyst for the relationship between Han Lie and her, and now, Evelyn seems to be already claiming to be Han Lie's girlfriend.
O'Connor, who took this qiē into his eyes along the way, was inexplicably a little lost, and he turned around and whispered, "Here...... Wait for the destination to appear. ”
At this moment, the American who asked the question suddenly shouted loudly: "O'Connor, remember our bet?" Whoever enters the Tower of Hamna first wins five hundred dollars. ”
Before the words fell, on the horizon, a round of tomorrow slowly rose, and the earth finally ushered in light, and under the golden morning light, a stone ruin gradually appeared on the empty desert plain in front of everyone.
And this is the legendary capital of the dead, the treasure place of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, and the destination of everyone's trip - the Tower of Hamna!
Everyone, all of them showed unbelievable eyes, even with irrepressible excitement, days of hard trekking, at this moment, when they saw the target, they didn't know what to say for a while.
The only thing the crowd could do was to push the mount under their crotch and gallop frantically towards Hamnata at a gallop.
Even Evelyn swept away her previous depression and frustration, snatched the leather whip from Han Lie's hand with great energy, slapped the camel fiercely, and shouted in her mouth: "Hurry up!" Hurry up! ”
Energetic beauties always make men feel happy, and Han Yeol is happy to fulfill Evelyn's competitive moves.
He secretly transported the true yuan and quietly stimulated the speed of the camel.
So, Han Lie and Evelyn rode to the dust, throwing everyone else behind their butts.
After breaking into the Tower of Hamna, Evelyn looked back at the people who were left behind a hundred meters behind, laughed, and said to Han Yeol: "Look, honey, we have won!" ”
Han Lie also smiled, turned over and got off the ground, hugged her waist and hugged her in his arms, seeing Evelyn's overjoyed delicate face and tender and charming red lips, he couldn't hold it back and kissed her.
After two whimpers and a little struggle, Evelyn responded with great enthusiasm, and the two kissed wetly until Evelyn's breathing became sluggish, and then it ended.
Upon arriving at the remains of the Hamna Tower, the Americans immediately began to drive hired laborers to set up camp and conduct preliminary excavations.
And Han Lie, on his side, did not waste time and began to prepare according to Evelyn's guidance.
The two sides occupied one side of the other, but they did not conflict with each other, and they were safe and sound, and they did not get in the way of each other.
Although on the night of the attack, the group of Americans did not see Han Lie's magical ability to leap across the river because of the angle, but they had a complete overview of his heroic posture of opening the peerless on the boat and sweeping all directions.
In addition, O'Connor, who is also quite famous in the road, is very jealous in the hearts of Americans, but they are not willing to take the initiative to provoke, so they are safe.
