Chapter 74 Towards the Desert

The sun rises early in the desert. It was just after six o'clock, and everyone in the camp was already packing up their equipment and preparing to head into the desert.

After sleeping all night, I stood up tremblingly and stretched, and heard the cracking of my bones. Li Yuan also sat there for half the night, feeling no fatigue at all, feeling as refreshed as hibiscus.

Guangyu kindly gave me some ancestral plasters.

I held my waist and went to wash up. Just as I was about to go back to pack my luggage, Patrick stopped me and asked me to help him sort out the information.

The Egyptologist's tent was wide open, but I could only stand outside with my mouth open, because the space as far as I could see was filled with various documents.

Jacqueline was immersed in a pile of papyrus. When she saw us coming, she muttered "Thank God" and involuntarily handed me a pile of information.

These documents are all in the same ancient Egyptian language as the bottom of yesterday's statue. This language should not have been known, so it was engraved on the bottom of the statue. In the last century, a scholar found out about an underground 'library' of Ptolemy.

The records in it were deciphered. Patrick happened to have seen that person's notes before, and he had an innate sensitivity to language, so he could barely translate it.

"We consulted and compared all astronomical and geographical records from the Ancient Kingdom to the Hellenistic period, and deduced the entire process of Thutmose III's completion of the sacrifice. Starting from the sacrifice at the [Temple of Omniscience] in the Valley of the Kings, to the seventh day

Before the end of the full moon, even the Pharaoh had to rush from Thebes to the temple in the depths of the desert. We also collected some key information at the Temple of Set yesterday, and the Egyptian priests also collected the astrological charts

Plot it out. At our current speed and knowing the direction, we can arrive there tonight."

Patrick told me: "I want to ask you to help look at these materials and find out the whole story of Thutmose III's construction of the temple."

After saying that, he turned around and got into the tent. Jacqueline pushed my back and drove me away before I could react.

"Go and pack your things quickly, the desert won't wait for anyone."

I took those materials and went back to pack my luggage. Xia Shangzhou was making a video call with her family. She smiled and showed me her four-year-old daughter, and even asked the little girl to call someone. Her lover held her daughter's hand and waved in the video.

.The girl with her little hair in her hair said hello to me sweetly, and asked her mother when she would be home.

I carried my things and left the tent. In the early hours of the morning, Lao Zhang and A Tian left messages saying that they were fine and asked me not to worry too much. Although I was still a little worried, there was nothing else I could do.

He Rongchuan walked towards him: "Good morning! Can you clean up so quickly?"

I suppressed my worries and nodded with a smile: "Good morning, where is Lou'er?"

He pointed towards the open tent behind him. I stepped over and walked over.

Lou Shiqi, Jiang Can, He Rongchuan and Ding Ze shared a tent. Originally, 279 used sleeping bags, but they put the sleeping bags aside and took them out, so the four of them slept together.

Jiang Can was not sleeping well, and most of him was lying on Lou Shiqi's body. Lou Shiqi was lying on his back as if buried, his eyebrows were wrinkled in pain, and he was afraid that he would not wake up if he continued to sleep.

.

I didn't expect that these two people were still sleeping. They were either advancing or retreating for a while. But when I thought of what Teacher Bai told me, I still shouted: "Hey, hey, don't sleep, I have to leave, hurry up and put things away."

.”

Lou Shiqi wandered out of the tent and asked me if I had applied any plaster.

I said, "Your nose is really sharp. My whole body hurt when I slept last night. Brother Guangyu gave me some plaster. If you need it, tell him."

Lou Shiqi snorted disdainfully. "I'm in good health."

Among the busy people in the camp, Chang Xiao was drowsily playing with a pot of plants he had brought, and his leisurely look seemed particularly abrupt.

"Hello!" Lou Shiqi greeted the green plants happily with a washbasin in hand, and then said to Chang Xiao: "Mendong is growing really well today."

Chang Xiao rarely looked up at him and nodded reluctantly. "Yes, I've been keeping him."

I simply don’t know whether I should complain about the person who brought potted plants to the Egyptian desert or the person who greeted the plants. But as a reliable teammate, I reminded Lou Shiqi: “Don’t be poor, Teacher Bai is looking for you.”

Since large equipment is difficult to transport and is no longer needed, each team assigned some people to stay in the camp. 279 The ones left behind were Guangyu and Han Jiangxue, and Master Xie was not seen among the people who left with them.

Everyone packed their luggage without leaving any personal traces.

Before setting off, Chang smiled and handed the potted plant to Guangyu, who also loved it wholeheartedly.

Chang Xiao returned Blake's notebook to me. He kept his word, borrowing it for one night was enough.

"Old Bai, there is asymmetry of information. This puzzle cannot be put together." Chang Xiao glanced at everyone, and he was just short of writing "I am not interested in you" on his face. "I suggest you keep these raw melon eggs.

, don’t bring it to cause trouble.”

Teacher Bai looked at him for a moment and said slowly: "The road ahead is not easy, and it happens that someone needs to stay and guard the camp."

His eyes swept over Lou Shiqi and me. This was giving us a chance to stay in the camp and not go further into the desert and into an uncontrollable fate.

This is the first direct interaction between Chang Xiao and Teacher Bai. I now believe what He Rongchuan said about the two being friends. After all, this is the first time that 279 is really considering letting our two archaeological team members leave.

thing.

Lou Shiqi watched the United Nations loading bags of guns into the car, and whispered: "It's so dangerous..." He flinched a little, and looked around while holding the half-gnawed sugar cane.

I carried my luggage across the stairs and walked to the car. I tried my best to lift the box onto the roof of the car. Li Yuan held on to the swaying box, lifted it up with one hand, and put it on top.

After a while, Lou Shiqi also put his suitcase in the car.

"So loyal." Jiang Can spit out the chewed sugar cane on the ground and happily patted Lou Shiqi, almost slapping him on the ground.

Arnold walked out of the tent. He looked radiant, and even had gem cufflinks on his cuffs that matched his eyes. He had an irritating sense of leisure and nobility. Unlike others who dressed lightly and simply, Arnold had nothing but

There was a backpack and a suitcase. He was complaining about his bad sleep last night, the sleeping bag was too thin, and the sand made his back hurt.

"Princess and the Pea." Karl found an opportunity and mocked mercilessly.

"If Karl was with me last night, the situation would have been different." As he said that, Arno gave Karl a deep look.

This time Karl was holding back his energy to regain his position, and responded to him: "Okay, then you come to me tonight."

Now the person who was choked became Arno.

Alex laughed mockingly, put on his sunglasses and carried his bag and walked towards the off-road vehicle.

I don't know what kind of bad check Bouswell made. Carl's people were very excited and eager to go to the desert to pan for gold.

The real experts who were left in the camp told us that there are actually considerable resources under the Sahara Desert. If this desert were turned over, it would be a cornucopia. No wonder Rhea is so devoted to operating the "Eastern Sahara Desert"

If this matter of "resource inspection" is really accomplished, it would indeed be quite impressive.

Speaking of Rhea, they were about to leave, but she hadn't caught up yet. Meng Weiqing glanced at Li Yuan, who smiled harmlessly. 279 did not continue to wait.

We set off before daylight, saying we were afraid of attracting attention. The motorcade in front of me made me really not understand these people's definition of "unobtrusive". But it seemed that they carried more weapons than daily necessities.

He looked like he was determined to solve it quickly no matter what he encountered.

I drove for a long time on a road that had been abandoned for an unknown period of time. At first there were some areas that could barely be called roads, but later I simply drove directly on the fine sand.

The convoy stopped when it reached a wadi that couldn't be displayed on Google Maps. Further west, it was almost to Libya, which was a no-nonsense zone.

In fact, I am more worried about the Egyptian military than the confusing destination. After all, we are still in a society governed by the rule of law. What will happen if I am arrested? No matter what, this resource inspection team will not inspect a place like this.

.

This worry was dispelled until I learned that the United States had already cut off the Egyptian military’s GPS.

When we set out again, we switched to camels, this small animal called the desert boat. The camels in the Egyptian desert are dromedaries. They cannot be said to be comfortable to ride, but they are more unique. It is not that we want to return to nature.

, but the guide came over and said that he would not be able to just drive in the future and would have to switch to traditional means of transportation. He also told everyone to follow closely because the magnetic field there would affect electronic equipment.

Stephanie and Carl, both of whom had disbelief in evil, rushed out in their cars. However, they broke down within a few steps.

While moving his luggage, Alex sighed: Egypt looks very small on the map, but when you actually get here, you realize how big it is. The boundless desert surrounds the Nile River that has been flowing for thousands of years.

We don’t feel anything at all. Let’s go to XJ Gansu NMG and see which desert is not as exciting as this one.

Jiang Can said that if this was left in China, it would no longer be a desert. Indeed, we Chinese have a strong instinct to improve living conditions and protect the earth.

But it was extremely hot in the barren desert of Egypt.

Because Lou Shiqi couldn't bear to be touched by the Egyptian barber, his hair was now half-length lying on his neck. I didn't notice it before, but it turned out that this guy still had some curling. Now he couldn't bear the heat.

He tied his hair into a short ponytail, and his outline suddenly became much clearer, and even more intuitively silly.

He Rongchuan didn't know what he said, and Lou Shiqi shook his head twice, his pigtails trembling playfully.

There is a lack of reality in the desert. In just a few days, I can no longer remember the last time I felt comfortable lying on the sofa. Along with this, I also lost control of reality.

Maybe it was because the desert was so barren that I didn't even want to leave as soon as possible. It soon became dark again.

The sunset in the vast desert, the endless flow of yellow sand and the slow sound of camel bells. But no matter how good the scenery is, basically nothing will be gained from wandering around in the desert today.

I am used to colorful scenery, and the deserts in China are not like here, they are completely barren.

It has been the same desert for several days, and even the night colors are the same. The stars are obscured by the moon, and the direction cannot be identified. Fortunately, the full moon only comes out for a little while every night. As we go farther and farther in the desert, every day

The time of the next full moon will be advanced.

We didn't know what lay ahead, but the night was still awake and the desert was lit up under the full moon.

"It will be over soon." Teacher Bai said.

Some people are confused.

Meng Weiqing pressed the tobacco leaves in his pipe. "It will be the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month soon. When the fake meets the real, what can be left behind?"

All I see at night these days is the full moon, and I almost forget that the moon on the fifteenth day is also full.

The stars in the sky are scattered on the sky like dust. There is no wind in the desert, and one or two clouds lie there lazily. The gods of Egypt are not in the sky, they are in the desert.

In ancient Egypt, because the right to pray to gods was monopolized by the royal family and high priests, civilians prayed like their dead family members, after all, the dead would join the gods.

Since Li Yuan said last night that he was going to ask Laila about the astrology priest, the two of them got together to watch the stars again. Alex and Arno also came to join in the fun. Looking at the beauties under the moon, these two people actually have a good look.

Skin appearance.

I admired it for a while, then walked over and stared at the same moon under the stars.

The breeze slowly blew a cloud over. As the moon was blocked, the stars appeared brighter. The sun has been getting lower and lower in the past few days, and the moon has always been full.

Li Yuan looked at the sky: "Beidou will guide the direction."

Across the sea of ​​sand, toward the east.

I don’t know if the Yin family’s thousand-year-old plan can also fall in front of us.

Like ink that cannot be melted being washed away by water, the night flowed away. Early the next morning, we continued to go deep into this malicious desert.

Resisting the laziness that comes with the cold, I completed the update that was overdue for half a month.

Hey.
