Chapter 63: Before leaving
Seeing Evelyn angrily leaving, Han Lie and Jonathan looked at each other, Jonathan spread his hands, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Eve, she is a little willful, don't you go up and comfort her?" โ
Tilting his head slightly, looking at Evelyn's graceful back as she faded away, Han Lie put his hand on his shoulder, "I think what you said is good, then I won't play with you, I'll see you later." โ
Before the words fell, Jonathan suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, and then looked, where could he still see Han Lie's figure.
He said to himself in amazement: "Oh, this Chinese kid is really fast, it's unbelievable." โ
On the other side of the street, Evelyn walked forward, muttering as she went, "What's wrong with me today, clumsy, I wasn't so angry when Jonathan used to play tricks on me." โ
At this time, Han Lie's voice suddenly came from behind her: "What are you thinking?" This trip? โ
Evelyn was startled, and after seeing that it was Han Lie, her expression first relaxed, and then she frowned again, turning her head and deliberately ignoring him.
What a little woman, Han Lie looked at her pretentious gesture with amusement, and it seemed that the plan was going well.
Although they have only known each other for less than a few hours, they have left a deep impression on her, and even this coquettish posture like a lover's awkward relationship has been naturally revealed.
Nodding secretly with satisfaction, Han Lie said in his heart: "It's time to start the next step, my dear Eve, it seems that you can't escape from the palm of my hand." โ
Han Lie didn't rush to please and comfort Evelyn, but silently walked side by side with her on the road, his eyes looking at the sky, as if in contemplation.
After a while, Evelyn finally couldn't help but put her gaze back on him, and at the same moment, Han Lie also turned his head, met her gaze, and said, "Do you know what I was thinking just now? โ
Evelyn's mouth opened slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then followed his words, and asked strangely, "Then what were you thinking just now?" โ
Han Lie replied: "I'm thinking about the magic of ancient times, you know, my hometown China is also a country with a long history, and under the long historical span, there will always be some mysterious legends. โ
Stirred up by his words, Evelyn echoed, "Yes, like Hamnata, the capital of the dead. โ
Deliberately making a look of great interest, Han Lie asked with a glint in his eyes, "I heard that there are two ancient documents that are very precious in the legend in Hamnatari, the undead ......"
Hearing this, Evelyn hurriedly pulled Han Lie's sleeve, interrupted him, and then cautiously looked around, as if she was covering some shady secret.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, he whispered in an excited and suppressed tone in his ear: "That's right, it's the Black Sutra of the Dead and the Golden Sutra of the Sun, these two books record all the mysterious spells of ancient Egypt......
Evelyn's gaze was full of obsession: "They are the ones that have fascinated me with Egypt since I was a child, and the reason why I want to go to Hamna Tower so much is because of these two books, they are my childhood dreams." โ
Smiling, a gleam flashed in Han Lie's eyes, and he asked, "These two books should be written in the secret scripts of ancient Egypt, can you understand them?" โ
Evelyn craned her neck triumphantly, like a proud swan, "Of course, my research on this subject is quite in-depth, and I can understand most of the ancient Egyptian characters. โ
Han Lie applauded cooperatively, and praised with great sincerity: "Really? Eve? You're so good, so hopefully this expedition will make it happen. โ
Bowing her head slightly, Evelyn thought for a moment, and asked him in turn, "What about you, Han, what are your dreams?" โ
Han Lie laughed, "I'm greedy and have two dreams, the first is to be able to visit various unknown mysterious places in the world and experience all kinds of thrilling adventures. โ
At this point, he paused deliberately and turned his head to look at Evelyn, "As for the second dream......
Under Han Lie's gaze, Evelyn still thought that something was wrong with her, glanced left and right at her body, and immediately asked curiously, "What is the second dream?" โ
Han Lie curled the corners of his mouth and slowly continued, "As for the second dream...... It's to give you a kiss. โ
Before he could finish speaking, he reached out and pinched Evelyn's chin directly, then aimed at her cherry lips and kissed her fiercely.
Evelyn was dumbfounded, standing in place, not reacting to what was happening at all.
It wasn't until Han Lie's tongue nimbly squeezed her teeth, poked into her mouth to stir up the wind and rain, and kept curling her fragrant tongue and sucking it, that Evelyn finally came to her senses.
But at this time, if she wanted to struggle again, it was already too late, Han Lie didn't care that it was on the street, he directly closed his arms and hugged her into his arms and kissed her bitterly.
It wasn't until Evelyn's breathing became shorter and she felt like she was about to suffocate that Han Lie let go of her lips and pulled a crystal silk thread from the corner of her mouth.
Leaning on Han Lie's arm, Evelyn looked at him blankly, her panicked appearance was very cute, "You... You...... I ......"
Han Lie gently pecked her red mouth again, and said with a smile, "My second dream has been fulfilled. โ
It wasn't until this moment that Evelyn breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her head with her cheeks flushed, and murmured in an inaudible voice, "You...... How can you do that......"
Han Lie pinched her chin again, hooked her head, looked at her gently, and said, "I said it a long time ago, because you are so beautiful. โ
Staring at him stunned, Evelyn came back to her senses for a long time, pushed him away with her arms, covered her mouth with her hands for a while, and then put them on her waist again, constantly loosening and clenching, looking like she had no master.
After a while, she hurriedly grabbed the hem of her skirt and jumped out: "That...... Well, I'm a little tired, let's go back and rest first, and I'll see you tomorrow. โ
With that, Evelyn hurriedly turned and fled, taking two steps and one step at a time, and hurriedly disappeared into the crowd.
Han Lie stood in place, not following any further, but quietly savoring the taste between Evelyn's lips and teeth, to be honest, it was delicious.
Jonathan walked up to him, smacked his mouth and said, "Are you very good at picking up girls?" โ
Han Lie laughed, turned his head and said in his ear, "What do you think?" โ
After finishing speaking, Han Lie shook his body, pretending to be a hanger, and left leisurely.

When Han Lie found O'Connor in the hotel, he had just finished taking a shower, and Han Lie pulled him to order a table of food and two bottles of wine.
O'Connor unceremoniously sat down at the table, grabbed a roast chicken and nibbled on it, "Thanks, I'm just hungry." โ
Han Lie also smiled and grabbed food with him, eating and drinking at the same time, and after a while, the atmosphere between the two became much more harmonious, eliminating the strangeness and coldness.
After eating, Han Lie took out all the banknotes on his body, "I think we will need some tools and weapons this time." โ
Skimming the chicken leg bones that had been gnawed to the ground, O'Connor squinted at Han Lie, and was not polite, he directly grabbed the banknote and stuffed it into his arms, and said, "You are very experienced." โ
Shrugging his shoulders, Han Lie smiled and said, "It's just that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they have been mixing for a long time." โ
Grabbing the bottle and filling it up, O'Connor nodded at him, "Alright then, you wait here for me for a while, and I'll be back soon...... You can just come with me. โ
Han Lie readily agreed, followed him out of the hotel, O'Connor deserved to be the head snake of Cairo, took Han Lie left and right, and soon came to a very lively street.
Standing at the corner of the street, O'Connor turned around and introduced to Han Lie: "This is the black market in Cairo, everything we need is here." โ
After a while, the two returned to the hotel with a large bag of belongings, including weapons, ammunition, new clothes, new leather shoes, and, a black cat.
The hotel was not big, the room for the two was next to each other on the second floor, and O'Connor put down the package on his body.
Hearing the meow of meow, he looked back and saw Han Lie holding the black cat and caressing it softly, he couldn't help but wonder: "I don't understand, why do you want to buy a cat back?" โ
Han Lie squinted his eyes slightly, and said mysteriously: "Cats are the protectors of the ancient Egyptians, they believe that cats can ward off evil spirits and keep their homes, this time we are going to the legendary capital of the dead, and it may be useful to bring a cat." โ
Frowning and thinking for a moment, O'Connor replied, "Maybe you're right, since you insist on going to Hamnata, then I have to tell you what I saw and heard at the time." โ
Han Lie put down the black cat, grabbed a few pieces of dried fish and meat that he had just bought by the way from his pocket, put them in the palm of his hand and fed them, and then threw O'Connor a look, "Please speak, I'll listen to you." โ
Sitting down at the table and pouring a cup of strong tea, O'Connor began to recount his previous experiences, first briefly about his involvement in the military, and then to the main points.
He swallowed his tea, then said, "...... That year we received an order to find the legendary Hamna Tower, the capital of the dead with the treasures of the pharaohs, and after we had eaten enough sand, we finally found the traces of Hamna Tower on the day when we were lucky. โ
As he spoke, his eyes became misty, and he slowed down a little before continuing, "We were very happy and carried out the preliminary excavations, but not long after the beginning, a group of armed men attacked us, they were outnumbered and the fire was fiercer than ours. So, we were defeated, most of them died, and just as I was about to be killed by them, a strange thing happened that scared them away, and I escaped with my life. โ
Han Lie cooperated with a particularly curious expression, leaned over and asked, "Then something strange happened?" โ
O'Connor took several more sips of the teapot to his throat before saying, "The yellow sand on the ground suddenly swelled, and then suddenly a human face appeared. โ
Han Lie took a breath, lowered his head and fed two jerky to the black cat on the stool, and was speechless: "Oh, that's really weird and terrifying, it seems that I really have to treat this kitten well." โ
Glancing at the black cat with smooth eyelids and no variegated color, O'Connor smiled, "Then you can take it with you, maybe when the time comes, we will have to rely on it to save our lives." โ
Han Lie asked again, "Is that hexagonal box the one you found?" โ
Shaking his head up and down, O'Connor replied, "That's right, I was hiding under the feet of a god and found the box in the sand. โ
At this point, O'Connor suddenly slammed the table and cried out in dismay, "Damn Jonathan, he stole my box, damn it." โ
Han Lie smiled and teased: "Come on, man, you have to thank Jonathan, if he hadn't stolen your box, we wouldn't have run to the prison to save you, then, your life would be gone." โ
The annoyed expression suddenly froze, O'Connor thought for a while, then dejected his head, and said discouragedly: "What you said makes a lot of sense, so I have to thank him?" โ
Han Lie waved his hand, "No need, I think that you just need to take him to find the gold of Hamna Tower, which is the best reward for him." โ
Hearing this, O'Connor raised his head and looked solemn: "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised!" Tomorrow we will set off together to the capital of the dead, but, hopefully, this time...... Don't be so wolf bรจi anymore. โ
Patting him on the shoulder, Han Lie stood up and said, "Don't think too much, take one step at a time, maybe you come to the right time?" โ
Sighing, O'Connor looked at him, "Accept your good words, rest early, we have to leave early tomorrow." โ
Lost the sentence: "Good night." Han Lie then returned to his room.
Lying on the bed with the black cat, his eyes shining, looking at the night sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
