Chapter Twenty-Three: Operation Dark Night
Once we were done, we went back to our room and went to sleep. It's just getting dark, and the tourists who come to visit the scenery haven't dispersed yet. It's a bit early to dive straight to the pyramids. After comprehensive consideration and unanimous deliberation, we carried out our "Operation Dark Night" at midnight.
When we entered the pyramid passage earlier, we did some careful investigation. After that, I went two more times. Basically, I figured out the time when the tourists left and the time when the staff on duty changed their guards. In between, there is a gap period. We decided to pick the moon and the wind was high, and sneak in during this gap in the changing of the guard.
The old ghost remembered what Qian Cheng said just now, so he said a little unhappily: ", you said that you saved yourself, why do you have to take us with you?" I look like a prostitute/customer, so I have to say that we are too. This practice is extremely unethical! ”
"That's it! It's nonsense, so let's hurry up and get ready for the night. "Before Qian Cheng spoke, I interrupted the old ghost's words.
All the things that should have been packed up and the alarm clock was set, and the three of us didn't talk again. Just like that, I took a nap in a daze.
When I woke up, it was already "the willow tops on the moon". I looked at the time, it was almost midnight, and I rolled over and got up. The alarm clock has not yet sounded, and the old ghost and Qian Cheng are still asleep. The old ghost slept heartlessly, and he was still snoring.
I looked out the window, and there was no light in Uncle Asan's room, so it looked like he was asleep. The surroundings are also surprisingly quiet. But. The moon is very bright tonight. Although it is a little different from our expectation of "dark moon and high wind", however, the bright moon night has the benefits of a bright moon night.
Because Egypt is located in a desert area, the temperature is naturally tropical and subtropical desert climate, and the temperature difference between day and night is also surprisingly large. During the day, we were sweaty with heat, but now, I was shivering with cold. It is no exaggeration to say that the white mist can even be seen in the breath.
In the past, I only heard that there was such a temperature difference between day and night on the Gobi Desert in China. Unexpectedly. It's the same here. I've heard that too. It is precisely because of this temperature difference between day and night that the raisins and cantaloupe in Xinjiang are so sweet. I wonder if they grow cantaloupe and grapes in Egypt, which is full of deserts?
Seeing that he was thinking far away, he hurriedly collected his mind. I walked over to the bed. Pushed Qian Cheng. Qian Cheng was originally a cautious person. Plus there's something going on tonight. And this is the first time for him. So he didn't sleep very well. I just touched him lightly and he looked up.
Fearing that he would be negligent when he had just woken up from his sleep, he made a sound. I hurriedly "booed" him. Signal him not to make any noise.
Although Qian Cheng is not used to this kind of thing, he is alert enough. Seeing that it was me who woke him up, he asked me softly, "Is it time?" ”
I nodded to him in the dark, and he made an "ok" gesture to me, rolled over and got out of bed. When I saw him wake up, I turned around and called the old ghost.
In the dark, I gently nudged the old ghost. But the old ghost was as steady as he usually slept late at night, and didn't respond much to my pushing. He only smashed his mouth twice, turned over, and continued to sleep on his big head. I was speechless and thought to myself, this is a pig!
Worried that it would be too late, I pushed the old ghost again. Because of the lesson just now, I used a little more strength this time.
Who knows, the old ghost sat up and said loudly, "Who? ”
His question was surprisingly loud, and Qian Cheng's hearts and I were about to scare out. In a hurry, he covered the old ghost's mouth. The old ghost had just woken up from his sleep, and he was ignorant, thinking that I was a gangster who wanted to make him money and harm his life. Hurriedly struggled, and his mouth made a "woo, woo" sound.
I angrily pushed the old ghost and whispered to him, "You showed me clearly, it's me!" Don't go crazy anymore! ”
The old ghost saw that it was me, and then he stopped struggling. Seeing that he had stopped struggling, I took my hand off his mouth. The old ghost was too nervous just now, and when he was struggling, he bit me hard. My fingers are hurting a little hotly right now.
I whispered, "Damn, dogs." Bite at every turn, you uncle! ”
The old ghost slowly came back to his senses at this time, and remembered that there was an important task to be carried out tonight, so he whispered to me: "Who told you to be so unkind in the middle of the night that you want to come to the wrong time?" ”
"Ahh I saw that it was not early, and I didn't have time to talk to him, so I hurriedly said to him, "Okay, hurry up, clean up." How to get going! ”
The old ghost gave me a hand to accept the order, and then quickly got up and got out of bed. Since we had made thorough preparations during the day, we didn't have to wait long and set off out of the inner room.
Out of an abundance of caution, the old ghost and I stuck our heads out to investigate. Seeing that there was no movement around, he dared to walk out of the room. For the sake of convenience, Qian Cheng had already greeted Uncle Ah San during the day. Let him keep the door open, so that we can go out and avoid waking him up.
The three of us took up our prepared things and walked towards the hidden gate. But just as he was about to walk out of the gate, the old ghost kicked down the iron trash can placed by the door. A "crackling" sound immediately resounded through this quiet and surprising night.
This chaotic sound shocked the three of us in a cold sweat! Hurriedly hid our bodies in the shadows, and hid ourselves by the dark shadow of the courtyard wall under the moon.
Uncle Ah San may be accustomed to living in this wilderness, and he wakes up as soon as there is a little wind and grass. hurriedly shouted something from the house, judging from the tone, it must have said: "Who?" Three watches in the middle of the night. ”
My heart said, "It's broken!" I didn't want to wake up or I was woken up, I didn't want to be alarmed and I was alarmed. If you want to be violent/exposed, you can be violent/exposed, anyway, I have already greeted my uncle during the day and said that I was going to "prostitute/prostitute". It's a big deal to be discovered, so I'll say it again.
Just when everyone was frightened, a wild cat "meowed".
This call is just right, and it relieves our siege of "exposure/exposure" in a timely manner. Uncle Ah San saw that it was a wild cat walking at night, so he gave up and stopped pursuing it. We breathed a sigh of relief and continued to walk out the door. (To be continued......)
