Chapter 12 All the Way
"Of course not!" The old man said categorically, "I'm not a person who lacks consideration, and that's not my style. I had predicted it before they came! It may have been fate. β
Listening to this master say such emotional words for a while, it was really a little unaccustomed. However, perhaps what he said is also the truth. Seeing that he had made up his mind, his apprentice Uncle Ah San no longer persuaded him. He just looked at the old man with his typical "big Egyptian eyes" open, as if his eyes wanted to speak.
The old man looked at his "old apprentice" sentimental eyes, shook his shoulder politely and said, "What's wrong with you?" It's not like I'm not coming back. β
Uncle Ah San said, "Master, it's not that I'm saying unlucky things. I have a very bad feeling about your trip this time! Why don't you go next time? β
"It seems that it's not just me who feels this way, you too!" The old man nodded, and said meaningfully, "However, what I want to tell you is that people must learn to face their fears. I will be like this in the future, God only has the arrangement. Do you remember? β
Uncle Ah San didn't speak, just nodded heavily, as if he was about to cry.
"You said next time, there will be no such fate! If you don't believe them, will they come here in the future? After the old man finished speaking, he turned his gaze to us.
Actually, what the old man said was not wrong at all. With this departure, I don't think I'll ever come to Egypt again in my life, especially the pyramids!
When I heard such a question from my senior and this kind of inquiring look, I wanted to say "yes". However, I can't say anything, maybe I hate this place.
The old ghost muttered softly at this time: "The grandson will come again!" This gourd day, I just won't come back in my next life. β
We ignored the old ghost's words, and still looked at the two uncles in front of us.
The old man said to his apprentice, "What if...... If I can't come back......"
"Master!" Uncle Ah San listened to the old man talk about such a heavy topic. He hurriedly interrupted him, trying to stop him from going on.
But the old man immediately interrupted him again and said, "If." I mean, if ...... I can't come back, my qiΔ. Including this yard, it's left to you. β
"Master!" Uncle Ah San wanted to interrupt again.
"Listen to me!" The old man said in a tough tone, "If you don't want it here, you can sell it, and you can keep the money for yourself." β
"No, Master, I will always wait for you to come back!" Uncle Ah San said in a firm tone.
The old man didn't say another word, just calmly patted his apprentice on the shoulder. Then he turned around and got ready to go with us.
We were meant to be temporary guests staying here, so we barely left our gear and what we got with us. Therefore, there is nothing to pack, and it is ready to go. The group did not stop long, and once again embarked on the journey back to China.
It's just that Duoduo's serious illness hasn't recovered yet, and I'm worried that her body won't be able to bear it. Therefore, everyone is moving relatively slowly. In this way, there is also time for Duoduo to recover better.
After bidding farewell to Uncle Ahsan, we did not choose the plane as the means of transportation back to China, but chose the steamer, car, horse-drawn carriage and other relatively slow transportation to move forward all the way.
Although there was some hard work along the way. But it can be regarded as seeing all the states of the world and reading all the beautiful scenery. Because of the good mood, Duoduo Hui fΓΉ is not bad. The same. The other four of us, both mentally and physically, have been rested like never before.
Along the way, the old man told us a lot about the strange things and strange experiences he had encountered over the years. Let us know and have a closer relationship with him.
What impressed me the most was that he told the story of going to Japan and Vietnam: in Vietnam and Japan, he helped others detoxify corpses. The strictest was in Japan, where, according to him, almost killed him. That's because of Japan's nuclear radiation and bacteriological research. The zombies and corpse poison that appear are mutated and almost uncontrollable.
That incident. Quite a few people died. Almost all the people who were with him at that time were dead. Thankfully, he has a great skill in his craft. Otherwise, I guess we won't see us. That time he almost had a breath left, and he finally returned to China. It was also the only failure of his career.
But he didn't feel any regrets, because according to him, the Japanese were to blame!
What scared him the most was the curse of their native Egyptian pharaoh. It is a mystery of the ages, an insurmountable and unsolvable mysterious power. The Egyptians knew that if you get it, you will die! But, I don't know why, how many of us were able to come out? Perhaps, it is because our hearts are really not bad, and our souls are very "clean". The old man often joked with us: "It's not that you haven't been cursed, it's that it's not time!" β
We just laughed and laughed and didn't take it to heart.
It's funny that some of the old man's skills are not so "obedient". For example, he will transform into various forms and people of all ages along the way. We jokingly call him "Hundred Changing Star King", and his skills are about to catch up with Sun Wukong, almost seventy-two changes.
When he heard us call him "Monkey King", not only was he not angry, but he was very happy. Say how powerful Sun Wukong is! has all kinds of skills, everything will change, and he has made a lot of trouble in the heavenly palace. The more he talked, the more he looked like a naughty child, and if he hadn't gone back to his old age, we would have thought he was a young man.
The old ghost once asked him, "I said, uncle, are you Egyptian?" How can the Egyptians be like you? Aren't the Egyptians very old-fashioned and strict? β
The old man said nonchalantly: "You still have a long or short hand stretched out, let alone a person." A person has a person's personality traits, why should I be the same as everyone else? Can't I be an independent being? β
These words are extremely true, and the old ghost who asked is speechless. After a long time, the old ghost asked, "Did you grow up in China when you were a child?" How can you know so much about China? It's just a China expert! β
The old man said, "What's so strange about this? In addition to our Egyptian culture, I am most interested in China. She is a fascinating and mysterious country, and in my heart, he cannot fathom it. It is an ancient civilization with Egypt and has a long cultural origin. That's why I don't have a dislike for you, and that's why I insist on coming. (To be continued)
