Volume 1 First Encounter with Egypt Chapter 8 Embarking on a Journey

As early as 3000 B.C., and even more distant times, the ancient Egyptians divided day and night into 12 hours, starting with sunrise and noon at 6 o'clock, while day did not begin and midnight was 6 o'clock.

As the saying goes, the beginning of the day is in the morning, and with the sound of roosters crowing one after another, a new day begins.

Wu Tian woke up. Wu Tian, who was usually helpless against him with a life-threatening serial alarm clock, woke up early again.

Of course, it was the first time I was woken up by a dog licking yesterday.

Everything is like a lifetime, how long has it been...... Anyway, it's been a long, long time since I tried to get up so early.

One of the great things about modern times is that even the students' classes are postponed until the early afternoon. In Wu Tian's view, this is a very great discovery of modern man, who found that human beings need more adequate sleep.

However, when it comes to ancient Egypt, it seems that everything is slowly changing unconsciously.

What fills the ears is no longer the impetuous, noisy and heavy wheezing sound of the city, but contains the quiet, simple and brisk, the call of nature, which is calling people to enjoy the beautiful sun, blue sky, white clouds and air......

After the routine operation of emptying his brain in bed for a few minutes, Wu Tian hurriedly turned over, took out the jade pendant and gold and silver from under the bedside, and held them tightly in his hand. After this, it is a piece of meat on his body, and he must protect it even if he fights for his life, he thought silently in his heart.

There are no pockets, bags or anything, so I have to take off my clothes as a burden, anyway, there are more people on the street here who don't wear clothes, and they won't be chased and shouted perverted exhibitionism.

It's time to go to the temple on a mission, although so far, it is not known what it is.

After simply eating the leftover food from yesterday, Wu Tian carried the burden and brought the gourd with him, with a chivalrous style of going to the rivers and lakes.

Walking through the village, seeing a woman busy, Wu Tian politely stepped forward to talk.

"Eldest sister, is the temple far away from here?"

"Temple, that's far away, our mountain is in the direction of sunset, and the temple is on the side of sunrise, it is estimated that it will take half a day. ”

Listening and listening, Wu Tian felt more and more wrong, yesterday he walked towards the west of the sunset, and today he walked towards the east of the sunrise, isn't this the same way back?

But fortunately, the harvest is quite abundant, otherwise it is really idle and has nothing to do, and it is just a matter of exercising leg strength.

When you come to the stream, the clear water of the river flows down the river, washing the raised stones, giving birth to generations of human beings in the deep mountains.

Wu Tian squatted down, holding the water in his hand, he was just going to wash his face, he didn't know if he didn't look at it, he was startled when he saw it, who was the person in the water!

"Eh, I'm going to ......"

With a blank face, he couldn't help but let out a strange scream.

In the dream, Wu Tian had already felt his own image, but it was vague and unreal, and it did not have the visual shock that it brought to him at this moment.

He stared dumbfounded at the reflection in the water, his short black hair growing lazily, his angular brown-red face adorned with a tall nose, resolute lips, and a pair of piercing, eagle-like eyes, which were so deep and sharp......

It's him, it's him!

Wu Tian's heart blossomed, how many years his title of "little white face" can finally be shaken off, this masculine, resolute, and masculine body, the appearance of dreams!

He was lying on the ground and posing in various poses against the water, not out of narcissism, but out of certainty, so that he admired his new appearance from different angles.

He clenched his fists and showed his biceps, the excitement in his heart was incomprehensible, as if no one else was self-absorbed.

"Young man...... Lad...... If you let me, I still have to fetch water. ”

"Oh, oh, sorry......"

Wu Tian, who had just woken up from a dream, apologized awkwardly, hurriedly filled the gourd with water, and started his own way down the mountain.

Along the way, although he stumbled, Wu Tian always followed the great banner of the sun, maybe he deviated from the route he came, maybe there was no route at all, anyway, in the end he arrived at the foot of the mountain safely.

Along the deserted country road, because my mind is always troubled by the next task, I unconsciously step up, and I don't have the leisure to enjoy the scenery of the fields around me.

Slowly, he began to feel the human breath change from less to more, and he came to the market.

"You know, two soldiers died on the street over there yesterday morning, it's tragic......"

"I've heard that I didn't come out of the market yesterday. ”

"It was terrible, it was bleeding all over the ground. ”

"Oh my God......"

"Maybe it was the group of Hades Temple envoys who did it, they did all kinds of evil!"

"It's scary, I heard that the murderer hasn't been caught yet......"

Wu Tian listened to these gossips and had to sigh, no matter what era it is, there seems to be no shortage of long-tongued women who are full of food and have nothing to do, and like to relieve their boredom.

Because of this...... No matter how you say it, you have an unclear relationship with him, and listening to their discussions, I always feel uncomfortable, so I quickly leave this place.

The sun had unconsciously climbed overhead, and Wu Tian's stomach began to growl with hunger, looking at the endless road, thinking that it was better to fill his stomach first.

Walking further, I saw that there were still a few stalls left on the side of the road in the market, and the heavy gold and silver in the baggage should come in handy.

Walking to the side of an old man's stall owner, Wu Tian casually took out a small ingot of silver, and politely handed it to the old man with both hands, asking him to bring a few foods that they called bread, and then make some wine for the gourd.

The old man looked at the silver and then at the other party, and the expression on his face was very complicated.

Could it be...... Impossible, Wu Tian had obviously learned the appearance of the ancients in the TV series last night, and he had bitten them all, and there were no fakes.

The only possibility is that gold and silver are not used as a currency market.

Looking at the other party's hesitation, Wu Tian felt an indescribable anxiety in his heart.

"Grandpa, you have something to say. ”

"Young man...... You ...... money."

"This money...... Can you use it......?"

The old man nodded hesitantly.

That's it! Since it's money, it's easy to say anything.

"What, the silver is not enough, is it?" said Wu Tian and took money into the baggage.

The old man hurriedly waved his hand, sighed heavily, and said helplessly: "It's not enough, it's too much, I can't make up all the bread and wine for you......"

Listening to the old man's words, looking at the stall full of bread and a large jar of wine, is it that a small ingot of silver is already so valuable?

Thinking of the gold and silver in the baggage...... The corners of Wu Tian's mouth had already risen unconsciously, and he was as happy as a fat man of two hundred catties.

Although he is still confused, there is no doubt that he has become an out-and-out rich man in ancient Egypt, and then he has to feel the life of the rich in ancient times, live in a big house, raise a big dog, eat delicious food, and make beautiful women......

It's ...... to think about Direct drooling.

No, no, no, Wu Tian shook his head, dispelling these thoughts of pleasure, he still had to focus on big things.

Looking at the old man's wrinkled face, full of the vicissitudes left by the years, and the pity and helplessness shown in his gaze made people feel that his life was difficult and difficult.

It is sad and lamentable, even though a big deal is in front of him, but he has to choose to give up because he can't pay for enough food.

Maybe at this moment, he was touched by this sympathy and touched a certain string in his heart, maybe it was because he found that he regarded money like dung after becoming a rich man, Wu Tian looked at the old man kindly and smiled.

"Grandpa, it's okay, you just give me a few breads, and a full bottle of wine, and you can take the rest." ”

Several stall owners next to him looked at the young man in front of him, looking down, but they were all surprised by such a generous shot, and cast envious eyes on the old man.

Wu Tian didn't know anything about the concept of money, and he definitely didn't know what this small ingot of silver meant to the poor people.

I saw that the old man was busy with trembling hands, pouring wine and stuffing bread into Wu Tian's hands, but the wine was poured all over the ground and spilled all over the ground, and he couldn't hold it in his hands and kept stuffing it into the baggage, and he kept saying thank you in his mouth.

"Enough is enough, old man, I can't fit this, you can keep the rest for yourself. ”

"No, no, it's all yours, I've already overcharged your money......"

Seeing this, Wu Tian had to stretch out his hand to stop the old man, and finally let him stop.

"Thank you so much, young man, I ......"

The old man's face was full of joy, his eyes were full of tears, and his true feelings were completely revealed, and the words after that choked up in his throat, and only the intermittent "thank you, thank you, thank you......"

Wu Tian ate energetically, and replied vaguely to the old man, although the food was not delicious, but he had never only sought food and clothing, and had no pursuit of eating, and he filled his stomach after dividing five by two.

"Grandpa, is the temple far away from here?"

Speaking of the temple, the old man looked at the young man in front of him nervously, leaned over and whispered, "It's been haunted recently......

"Wait, wait. ”

Haunted!?

Wu Tian, who looked confused, never thought that the Supreme God would send him to hunt ghosts! Isn't this teasing him?

"Grandpa, are you sure...... Is it a ghost?"

"The whole city knows about this, you better not go, it's dangerous, more than a dozen people have died. ”

"I ......"

Hearing the old man's advice, Wu Tian's heart trembled violently, and uneasy emotions kept emerging. It seems that this haunted incident has already caused a storm in the city, and everyone is sincerely afraid.

There is no doubt that this must be the mission that he, the Night's Watch Eagle, is about to do, but what should I do......

He knew very well that this was the path he had to take as a night watchman, and that he couldn't hide from it, and that God wouldn't let him escape.

What's more, the passion in his heart seems to continue to implement the principle that if he doesn't die, he won't die, and he has no idea of retreating. As long as the danger has not really come to him, there is no reason to retreat, this is his life creed.

Wu Tian pretended to smile lightly, "It's okay, I'll go over and take a look." ”

The old man shook his head helplessly and pointed in the direction ahead, "You go in this direction, you can reach it after walking for a while, not far." ”

He stared at Wu Tian, his eyes were full of concern and worry, and he told him to protect himself well, especially at night. On the occasion of parting, he was also given a flat pole for carrying heavy objects for self-defense.

Wu Tian didn't expect that his inadvertent generosity would receive the most sincere thanks and care, which made his heart warm, like a warm current flowing slowly.

With the old man's instructions and a self-defense weapon, the flat shoulder, he embarked on the journey without hesitation.
