Chapter 171: Family Treasure
Abdul Kansar: "You can live here." β
Opening the door, Abdul Kansar walked in with Zheng Jing.
Seeing this room full of Arabic style, Zheng Jing took out money from his pocket and handed it to him.
"I can't live here for nothing, this money should be my rent."
Abdul Kansar really didn't expect Zheng Jing to give him money.
In the past, there were merchants who came late and stayed in the village and would not give money, and they did not think to ask for it.
Seeing Abdul Qansar's hesitant and surprised look, Zheng Jing stuffed the money into his pocket.
"Take it, I don't know when the sandstorm will come, I didn't take much this time, and I'll trouble you with food."
Zheng Jing decided to establish a good relationship with the people here first, so that he could continue with the next actions.
"I can't ask for this money." Abdul Kansar came to his senses and quickly took out the money.
"Take it, I can't live here for nothing."
Zheng Jing gave him the money, and this time Abdul Kansar did not refuse.
"Okay, I'll take it, what do you eat at night? I'll do it for you when the time comes. β
"I don't pick, I eat whatever you eat."
"By the way, the sandstorm shouldn't be here for a while, can I go out for a walk?"
"Yes, do you want me to take you?"
"No, I'll do it alone."
Closing the door, Zheng Jing and Abdul Kansar went back outside.
"A sandstorm is coming."
Hearing Abdul Kansar's words, Zheng Jing looked up at the sky.
It was found that the sky had begun to turn yellow, and over the Western Desert, the sky had turned gray, and it seemed that the sandstorm was coming from the Sahara Desert.
"You'd better wait until the sandstorm comes back, it's going to be dangerous if it's too late."
Abdul Qansar said.
Zheng Jing nodded, indicating that he understood.
Walking alone in the village, Zheng Jing came to an ordinary house.
This house is where MΓΌller and his wife live.
How can you see the necklace around his neck?
Or know where the Mueller family is located.
I didn't think of it, as long as I found the location of the Muller family.
Maybe Abdul Qansar will know where.
Zheng Jing figured it out in an instant.
Feeling the sand and dust in the air, Zheng Jing hurriedly walked back.
When returning to Abdul Qansar's home, Zheng Jing returned to the car and took down a box of mineral water.
Abdul Kansar, who was preparing the ingredients, saw Zheng Jing coming in with a box of water and hurriedly opened the door for him.
Zheng Jing wanted to put the box of water in Abdul Kansar's house, but he didn't want to, and said that he would be asked to move it out of his house.
He also said that he had already given him money, and he was embarrassed to put the water here.
There was no way, Zheng Jing moved the water to another house.
Back in the house, Zheng Jing closed the door and listened to the crackling sound outside, which was the sound of sand hitting objects.
"The sandstorm is coming, you close the door tightly."
At this time, Zheng Jing heard Abdul Kansar's voice coming.
Zheng Jing responded and came to the window to check.
After making sure that the windows were also closed, Zheng Jing was relieved.
The environment here is so harsh, I don't know why they don't live somewhere else.
This is a point that Zheng Jing is very curious about.
The sandstorm came quickly, and the sky instantly darkened.
Listening to the crackling sound, Zheng Jingzhen was afraid that the glass would break.
This is the first time Zheng Jing has seen a sandstorm, and he didn't expect it to be like this.
If he hadn't lived in a house, he might have been lost in a sandstorm.
Taking out the table lamp from the space, Zheng Jing looked at the house idly.
This house is a very ordinary Arabic family style house.
The walls around it are covered with murals in the Arabic style.
Above the wall of the opposite door, there is also a decoration in the shape of a moon and stars.
This decoration is known to be one of the most common decorations on YSLJ architecture and represents the holy month of Ramadan.
In addition to these, there are some common city portraits posted on the walls.
When I came to the window, I looked at the gray sand, and I didn't know when to leave.
I took out my phone and looked at it, and found that there was no signal on my phone.
I think it was because the sandstorm destroyed the nearby signal base station.
Fortunately, he still has it downloaded on his phone, so it's not boring.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
An hour passed, and the sandstorm finally disappeared.
Listening to the crackling sound outside, Zheng Jing got out of bed and came to the window.
Seeing that the sand and dust were disappearing, Zheng Jing put away the lamp and prepared to go out.
I don't know what has become of the outside.
After the sandstorm passed, the sky became very clear, and there were no clouds in a radius of 100 miles.
Pushing open the door, Zheng Jing felt some sand and gravel fall on his head.
I looked up.
Good guys, there are some nooks and crannies on the roof that are covered with sand.
Abdul Kansar pushed open the door and saw that Zheng Jing was fine, and said with a smile: "How is it, is it okay?" β
"It's okay, it's exciting."
"How often do sandstorms occur?"
Abdul Kansar cleaned the sand from the house and said, "Not much, not a few times a year. β
Zheng Jing came to him with a broom and helped clean up.
"I'm curious, why don't you move somewhere else because the environment here is so bad?"
Abdul Qansar: "Where can you move to?" Is it better to move to a place like this?
Besides, there are so many of us who can't move if we want to.
We've lived here for generations and there's a water well that we're used to living here. β
Hearing Abdul Qansar's words, he learned that there was a well here.
"By the way, you just said that Mueller moved from somewhere else, where was his former family?"
Abdul Qansar thought for a moment and said, "I heard from Mueller that his family is in the Harij Oasis. β
"Why are you asking about this?" Abdul Kansar asked curiously.
Zheng Jing said with a smile: "I heard you talk about his family, I just checked on the Internet, and I haven't heard of his family, so I'm very curious to ask." β
"You can't find it on the Internet, their family was famous and rich in the Harrij Oasis hundreds of years ago, but not elsewhere."
"The environment of the Harrij Oasis is better than here, how could Muller come to live here?"
"Who knows, it must be his family who offended people there, otherwise how could he have come to this place."
It seems that Abdul Qansar is also not very clear.
I opened the map and took a look, and found that the Harij Oasis was also in the Baoxue area.
It seems that the treasure is there.
After cleaning, Zheng Jing came to the village.
As the sandstorm passed, the whole village was covered with yellow sand.
The people of the village are clearing the sand from the area of their houses.
When the villagers saw Zheng Jing, they greeted him one after another.
Others told him to go to his house for dinner in the evening.
Zheng Jing refused, saying that he had promised to eat at Abdul Kansar's house.
Hearing Abdul Kansar's name, the villagers did not invite him, apparently knowing that the merchants had come here to eat and rest in his home.
Unknowingly, Zheng Jing came to the outside of Mueller's house.
Seeing Mueller and his wife cleaning, Zheng Jing walked over.
"Hello."
Mueller saw Zheng passing by and greeted him warmly.
"I thought you were gone."
"I wanted to leave, but Abdul Qansar said the sandstorm was coming, so I didn't go."
"It turned out that I went to Uncle Abdul Kansar's house, and indeed, former businessmen would have stayed with him."
"Is there something you're here for?"
Seeing Zheng Jing standing here talking to him, Mueller thought he had something.
Zheng Jing thought about it for a while and still didn't say, forget it, or don't ask.
If Muller had been wary, perhaps he would have gone to the Harrij Oasis to bring back the treasure.
As a descendant of their family, Mueller must have known that the family still had treasures.
If he was suspicious of the necklace, it would be worth the loss.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine."
"You're busy, I'll go first."
Seeing the back of Zheng Jing leaving, Mueller shook his head suspiciously.
Back at Abdul Kansar's house, Zheng Jing could already smell the scent coming from inside the house.
"What's delicious here?"
Seeing Abdul Kansar, who was busy in the kitchen, Zheng Jing walked in and asked.
Seeing Zheng Jing return, Abdul Kansar took out the food from the pot.
"I make lamb pilaf, I don't know if you are used to eating it."
Smelling the fragrance coming out of the pot, Zheng Jing said with a smile: "Of course you can, the taste is so fragrant, it must taste even more fragrant." β
Hearing Zheng Jing's praise, Abdul Kansal laughed happily.
"With an eye, this kind of mutton pilaf is an ancestral heirloom of my family, and I have used this pilaf to start a business in the city since my grandfather's generation.
It started selling from a small stall and eventually opened a restaurant in Cairo.
My grandfather told me that at that time, in Cairo, our restaurant was packed with people as soon as it was time to eat.
Unfortunately, what has happened in recent years has forced me to come back here. β
Good fellow, listen to Abdul Qansar, his family used to have a well-known shop in Cairo.
It's just that what happened later, I actually heard from that place in Cairo that this place where birds don't?
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Zheng Jing was embarrassed to ask, after all, he was eating and living here now, and it was a little bad to ask too much.
"By the way, what's going on outside? You okay? β
Abdul Qansar finished cleaning and went to cook, not knowing what it was like outside.
"It's okay, the villagers were cleaning up when I went out."
Hearing that there was nothing going on in the village, Abdul Kansar was relieved.
"That's good, let's prepare, we can eat."
"Today's cooking is not very rich, please bear with me."
Abdul Qansar said during the meal.
Zheng Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "That's good, I won't pick it." β
Although Zheng Jing said that he would not pick it, Abdul Kansar still felt a little embarrassed.
There is no way, his cooking skills can only make lamb pilaf and barbecue.
But time was tight, and he thought about it for a long time before deciding to make mutton pilaf.
Seeing that Zheng Jing ate with relish, Abdul Kansar was sure that Zheng Jing was indeed not a lie.
After eating and drinking, the two chatted for a while, and then Zheng Jing returned to the room.
Coming to another house, Zheng Jing lay on the bed and took out his mobile phone to look at it.
Found still no signal.
It seems that you can't watch short videos.
β¦β¦β¦
Nothing was said all night.
After breakfast the next day, Zheng Jing said hello to Abdul Kansar and left.
He's going to see the Harrij Oasis.
See if the treasure is in which location.
The car drove on the desert and sped all the way.
It really deserves to be a miracle of the Grand Cherokee, and the power is really good, but it is more fuel-intensive.
From the location of the village to the Harij Oasis, there are more than 270 kilometers in total.
At such a distance, I don't know how Muller got here.
After a few hours of driving, we finally arrived at the Harrij Oasis before lunch.
The Kharijah Oasis is the southernmost of the five oases in western Egypt. In the past, the ancient Egyptians called it the "Southern Oasis".
It is located in the Western Desert, about 200 kilometers from the Nile Valley, in a depression 160 kilometers long and 20 kilometers to 80 kilometers wide, and is the largest oasis in the Libyan desert in Egypt.
In the oasis, there is a modern city called Harijah, which is also the capital of the province of the New River Valley.
In the Oasis of Kharijah, there are more than 70,000 people, most of whom are of the Besha ethnic group.
The Besa are the indigenous people of the Kharigjah Oasis, and although Arabic is the dominant language, they speak Besa here.
Besa is a Afro-Asian language that belongs to a very small minority language.
Coming to the Harrij Oasis, Zheng Jing found that it was one of the most modern oases.
In the Faiyum Oasis, you can still feel the natural growth of nature, but here there are traces of thought.
Entering the city of Harrij, Zheng Jing saw a lot of modern buildings.
These buildings stand out among the palm trees.
As the most modern oasis in western Egypt.
The operation of the main town of Harij is highly dependent on a variety of modern facilities without any ancient buildings in sight.
Although surrounded by oases, there is no sense of an oasis, unlike other oases in Egypt where there are some pristine places.
On the periphery of the oasis, there is a vast forest of palms, alloy trees and jujube trees, and in these forests, Zheng Jing can also see some wild animals living here.
In the middle of these woods is Kharijah, the capital of the New River Valley province.
As Egypt's southernmost oasis, there is also a bus route and a railway route.
Seeing the bus leaving, Zheng Jing parked the car on the side of the road and opened the map.
Sure enough, as he had guessed, the treasure was here.
After looking at the specific location, the treasure is just outside the city of Harrij.
After determining the location, Zheng Jing quickly took out the food from the space and ate it.
After filling his stomach, Zheng Jing drove to the area where the treasure was located.
Looking at the ruins of the building in the distance, Zheng Jing stopped the car and walked out of the car.
Seeing this architectural ruin, Zheng Jing opened the map and found that the treasure was in this ruin.
Looking at the desolate scenery around it, who would have thought that this place would have a treasure.
Looking at the flickering points of light, I don't know where the treasure is in the ruins.
Most likely it should be underground.
Looking around, Zheng Jing found that there was a small river and patches of farmland not far away, and there were many people playing there at this time.
Seeing so many people in the distance, Zheng Jing decided to look for it at night.
It's noon, and although many people are at home, there are still many people who like to come out to play.
When I came to the ruins, I looked at the garbage around me, and thought that this place should still be an attraction.
Coming to the inside of the ruins, Zheng Jing saw some murals on the remaining walls.
These murals are very rough, and many of them have been destroyed by people because of time.
It's a pity.
Coming to a corner of the ruins, Zheng Jing found that the treasure was underneath.
He stomped his foot, then lay on the ground and listened carefully.
Hearing that there was no empty voice, Zheng Jing did not believe in evil, and stomped hard.
Still no hollow sound.
Could it be that the Mueller family buried all the treasures?
There is also this possibility.
Remembering this location, Zheng Jing was about to take a look, when he suddenly heard a voice outside.
Outside, Zheng Jing saw two young women holding hands and coming here to play.
The two women wore headscarves, and it was impossible to tell their exact age, but judging from their eyebrows, they should not be very old.
Back in the car, Zheng Jing started the vehicle and drove to a shady place.
It's still early, Zheng Jing decided to sleep, and the treasure can't run anyway.
After sleeping until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, Zheng Jing looked at the ruins and found that there were more people.
Good guys, it looks like we're going to have to wait until the evening to get started.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
By the time everyone around had left, more than two hours had passed.
Seeing that it was already dark, Zheng Jing drove to the vicinity of the ruins.
After parking the car, Zheng Jing took out the military shovel from the space and got out of the car.
Coming to the ruins, while there was still a little light, Zheng Jing came to the location of the treasure.
Finding a good position, Zheng Jing picked up the armory shovel and began to dig.
It is also not known how deep the Muellers buried the treasure.
As the pit got deeper and deeper, Zheng Jing suddenly felt the shovel touch something.
What is it?
A slate?
As the dirt cleared, a stone tablet with a sword and the palm tree family crest appeared in front of me.
