Chapter 126: Good Uncle and Niece
The knots of the wrap were particularly tightly knotted, and inside was a delicate little wooden box, as well as a letter.
"It's mine...... I mean, my character's uncle sent it. Sysy said. She doesn't have an uncle who works in Nepal.
She read the letter aloud. The letter was written in Russian, and she was not allowed to translate it again in Chinese. She is already very fluent in daily communication in Chinese, but there are still a little stumbling in translation.
γSaissi:
Sorry I haven't been able to call you. Recently, there have been more and more climbers coming to Nepal to join in the excitement, and there are many more planes taking off and landing at Tensin Silari Airport. γ
Secy repeated the awkward name.
"Where is the Tensin Silary Airport?" She asked, pulling out her phone to search.
"I've found out," Chen said, "Tengsin Sillari Airport, also known as Lukla Airport, is the first of the top ten dangerous airports in the world, the 'runway on the roof of the world', an airport built to allow climbers to enter Mount Everest faster, and Lukala doesn't even have a road to connect to the outside world." β
"A place like this......"
Ceci Lou thought for a moment and read the letter on.
[In order to avoid the routes of those tourist climbers, our team spent a lot of brains. You know, a lot of them come here to buy excitement in the name of the world's highest peak. Can you imagine? Some of them don't even know how to wear hiking boots, so they need someone from the travel company to help them put them on at the base camp. I even saw people learning how to use crampons from their guides at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters! γ
Cecy paused. I would never do such a thing, she thought. If you really want to go up the mountain, you can climb it with your own training and ability!
[The travelers' physical fitness is not up to par, not so much that they climbed up on their own, but rather that they were carried up by the Sherpas who acted as guides. Such a climb is just too risky.
In short, going up the hill along their route is not only congested, but also boring. We chose another route and completed the summit and return in the shortest possible time without any injuries. γ
The original text of the letter is written very humbly, and it is an understatement of the fact that he did not take the ordinary road to Mount Everest, and there is a feeling that "those who are good at fighting have no outstanding achievements", but after a layer of translation, the temperament of "invisible pretending to be X is the most deadly" has been slightly lost.
Secy muttered for a moment.
"Keeper," she called out into the bare white ceiling of the house, putting down the letter, "can you tell me more about 'my' uncle?" β
"System...... I mean, Secret Keeper, let's listen to it too. Chen Qiang interjected.
"Your uncle, Josya Yaroslavsky, is a professional explorer and archaeologist," the system's auto-reply voice sounded, "and now works as an archaeologist in Nepal. β
"That's it?" Seisy was a little disappointed with the system's overly "concise" reply.
"Let's read on." Chen Qiang urged.
"Oh......"
Cecilu reluctantly flipped the letter to the next page.
[I will take the next flight back to Katu, rest in the city for a few days, and then continue my trip to Nepal. I also met my old friend, Professor Cairns, in the barracks near the airport. Honestly, this feeling of being in a foreign country makes me very happy. γ
Chen Qiang blinked. Every time Cecilu paused, there was definitely a question to ask.
"Keeper, do I know this 'Professor Keynes'?" Cecilu asked.
"You've never seen this man before," the mechanical sound of the system was always cold, "but I've heard my uncle talk about him once." He is an Indian-American. β
[Professor Keynes told me something that was of great interest to me.] Seriously, this is a bit out of my reach, so I hope I can get your help.
The box that enclosed the letter contained an artifact that I had received from Professor Keynes. He bought it from a Sherpa hermit at a high price. The hermit found the artifact in the ruins of a temple and sold it to Professor Keynes because he thought it should have historical value. γ
"That must be the stuff of that little wooden box." Qin Lingxue said.
[This ancient artifact has been weathered, but Professor Keynes, an expert on local history, is unable to identify its origin. Keynes is one of the men with the best memory I have ever met, and I suspect he had the entire collection of books in Gatu, Tribhuwan, and Pokhara in his head. It's something he doesn't even understand, and I suspect there's probably a hidden piece of local history behind it.
I also did research on the material aspects of this craft. In Lukla's barracks, I worked almost in vain all night. There is no doubt that it is made of precious jadeite, and it has a complex structure, and any violent dismantling has the potential to cause irreversible damage to this precious antique.
Saissi, I know that your employer, Boss Chen Qiang, is a kind and generous gentleman. I've heard of his generosity in funding many embarrassed historians......]
"Does your character still have that kind of setting?" Saisi suddenly looked up and asked curiously.
"Leave this alone......" Chen Qiang was speechless.
ββ¦β¦ All right. β
Mao Mei cleared her throat and continued to read the letter:
γβ¦β¦ We know that Huaguo has a deep background in the study of ancient history and culture. I hope to connect with archaeologists in China through Mr. Chen's connections. As far as I know, there are Chinese experts who used to practice in highland temples at the current Tribhuwan University. What we don't know, the learned Orientalists can give us an explanation. If this artifact really reveals an unknown history, the technical support of Huaguo is even more important. γ
"That's ......"
[Sessy, I hope you can show this craft to your employer.] If he's interested in this item, we can start a joint study. By the time you read this letter, I have returned to Gatu. I will mail that handicraft to you in advance now, and I hope you will be sure to show it to Mr. Chen; It would be great if Mr. Chen was willing to accept my invitation. You can find me in my temporary abode in the affluent area of Kadu. If Mr. Chen wants me to come and visit, I will write down the mobile phone number I am using below. γ
[Professor Keynes went to the town of Pokhara, where his luggage was still there.] It would be a few days before he could return to Gadu. If Mr. Chen wants to find him, he can call the landline of Pokhara University. γ
[Peace be upon you, dear niece.] γ
[Your uncle, Josha. γ
There was silence in the room for a few seconds.
"I wish I had such a good uncle in reality." Ceci whispered.
"There's another page down there." Qin Lingxue didn't know when she walked behind Sai Qian.
"Ah...... I'm sorry. β
Cecilu flipped the letter to the last page. Only one sentence was written on the white letterhead:
[PS: I heard that Mr. Chen is in a relationship with one of his female bodyguards. I don't know if that's you. Mr. Chan is a good employer, but it is a good thing to have a better relationship with him. γ
