Chapter 012: Fruit Flavor (1)
Bai Zhi retreated unconsciously, "What are they going to do, interrogate us, I don't understand what they are talking about, what to do, Shadi, what are they talking about, what should Song Yu do......"
Song Yu and Shadi slowly moved in front of Bai Zhi, and Basel and Emin moved in front of Shadi again, each holding the tranquilizer gun in their hands.
The three men who climbed in had a stone plate on their backs, which were crudely made, followed by the man who took the plate from each person's back and placed it in front of them, and then the four of them left, without saying a word.
The plate was about the size of a fruit basket, and in the middle of the plate was something twice the size of the winter melon, with a rough skin, and I don't know what it was, and it was darker in color.
On the stone plate on the left are some scattered particles, ranging in size from walnuts to soybeans, and in different colors, from bright colors to gray and earthy colors.
On the right plate are some very thin ...... How do you describe it? It's like some grain ground into powder and mixed with sand and other particulate matter, what is it?
A few people looked at each other, and it should be food in this sense, but can this be eaten?
Bai Zhi suddenly thought of Sinboda's fourth voyage in "One Thousand and One Nights", and then went to an unknown island and was caught by the people of the fire-eating tribe, and then brought out the food, after eating it, he lost his mind, and only knew how to eat, and then he was grazed with a rope like an animal, and after fattening, his body was brushed with oil, and then he was set up, and he was roasted until he was oily, charred on the outside and tender on the inside......
"Why are you crying?" Song Yu poked Bai Zhi.
"Huh?" Bai Zhi was stunned suddenly, and then she saw several faces with different expressions in front of her, some were puzzled, caring, disdainful, and mocking, Bai Zhi pulled her facial muscles and laughed awkwardly, "I thought about whether we would be roasted and eaten by these people, and I couldn't help it when I thought of that picture, hehe......"
"But I'm so hungry. Emin muttered, and Bai Zhi's stomach also screamed uncontrollably.
A few people stared at the "food" in front of them, their eyes slowly becoming greedy, no wonder people say that it is always your eyes and stomach that betray you.
"If you don't eat it, then I'll try it first. As soon as Ai Min stretched out his hand, he was stopped by Song Yu, "It's better to be careful with food from unknown sources." ”
"It should be fine. Shadi looked at Basel again, thoughtfully.
Bai Zhi immediately caught the eyes of the two, they were communicating, "So you really understand what they are saying?"
Basel dodged the question, and Shadi looked at Song Yu and Bai Zhi, hesitated and nodded, "They should be speaking a very old 'Akkadian' [Akkadian], some phrases seem to have appeared in 'hanging poems', belonging to 'Adnan', they speak ancient Arabic, but not completely, so I can only understand a little bit." ”
Song Yu got up and looked around, "If that's the case, it's very likely that they have something to do with the royal family that disappeared in the 9th century that we're looking for." ”
"Really?" Bai Zhi exclaimed, "So lucky, but the royal family looks like this?" As soon as she saw their appearance, Bai Zhi felt worried, at least definitely not normal humans.
"If it is, after more than a thousand years, it is possible to change the body and speech in such a place. Shadi said.
"That's right," Bai Zhi clapped her hands, "It's like we humans have evolved from apes, it's just that this royal team has gone astray." ”
"Could it have something to do with food?" said Amin, pointing to three stone plates on the ground.
Bai Zhi was deflated all of a sudden, and after saying so much, she finally had to return to the problem at hand, because everything happened suddenly, all the equipment supplies were on the ant cart, and everyone only had a compressed biscuit with them in case of emergency, and the rest were all weapons and equipment that they carried with them.
"Shadi," Bai Zhi squatted beside Shadi, raised her eyes to look at his delicate outline, the brown pupils in her deep eye sockets glanced at Bai Zhi in some surprise, her chest rose and fell obviously, her eyes flickered away from Bai Zhi's gaze, but Bai Zhi grabbed Shadi's wrist, "What were they talking about when they caught us in?"
It's just that Bai Zhi obviously felt the muscles on Shadi's wrist tighten, so she had to let go of him, Shadi got up and walked a few steps to the side, there was a feeling of running away, and a blush appeared on the pinna.
At this time, Bai Zhi was also a little embarrassed, she forgot that these three people hated contact with women in a hurry just now, but before this embarrassment spread, she was interrupted by Song Yu, "Yes, what are you talking about?"
"Ahem," Sandy coughed lightly, glancing at Basel, "I only understood a few phrases, and I don't know what I said was 'outsider' or 'child'." ”
Bai Zhi and Song Yu couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but Shadi changed his words, "Basel is an expert in linguistics, and he has also specialized in ancient Arabic language, you can ask him." ”
"What the hell are they talking about, Basel?"
"yes, don't hide it at this time, we'll die at any time. ”
Bassell was dissatisfied with being "betrayed" by Shadi, and was surrounded by Bai Zhi and Song Yu, so he had to raise his hand and surrender, "Okay, I can't fully understand either, I only heard a few words, 'There are outsiders coming again, the purpose is not clear, I don't know if it's Geha people, what should I do with the child.'" That's all, and a few phrases, as you said, will certainly evolve over a thousand years. ”
"Another outsider is coming?" Bai Zhi glanced at Song Yu, "Could it be that someone else came before us?"
"Are you a Geha?"
"Whose child?" Amin leaned in.
Just when a few people didn't know what to do, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and several people hurriedly stood at the door and the window and looked outside.
A procession of dozens of people passed in front of them, and without glancing at them, they crossed the corridor, and then climbed up the hanging treetops, and when they looked up, they had climbed almost two stories or so, and then jumped onto a platform.
"Did you notice, the platform they were on was different from the other floors. ”
"It's different, there are more or less people on the other floors, but at least there are no people on that floor. ”
Shadie's eyes revealed a deep sense of concern, "And that staircase didn't go up." ”
Bai Zhi and Song Yu glanced at each other, and suddenly realized, "You mean that there may be something important or someone on it?"
"It can't be Martina and Qin Mu, right?"
Bai Zhi couldn't help but feel a chill in her back, this was going to cut off their hopes.
Shadi's brown eyes narrowed slightly, "It shouldn't be them, otherwise why would you switch us apart." ”
"What smell?" Bai Zhi sniffed vigorously a few times, and turned to see Emin cut the "big pumpkin" in the middle with a saber.
Emin slice open the "big pumpkin" and sniffed half of it, "It looks like fruit." ”
