Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

Chapter 222 Unexpected casualties

"My brother told me that there have been a lot of suspicious guys there recently, and they even got involved with the rebel guerrillas." At the end of the sentence, the customs officer seriously asked Liang En and Daniel Reminder to.

"So you'd better pay attention to safety when you go to explore this time. I think those guys who can get involved with the rebels can't be normal archaeological diggers at all."

"I even think that these people are likely to resort to robbery or excavation to get everything they want. In this way, you will be their biggest opponent."

"I understand, thank you for the reminder." After the official finished speaking, Liang En and Daniel nodded slightly at the same time to thank each other, and then left the office.

More than an hour later, they completed the unloading work, and then the entire team drove five specially modified large off-road RVs along the road into the Gobi desert under the golden sunshine.

The road had obviously been repaired not long ago, so it was very smooth overall. Following this road, Liang En and his team drove quickly towards the east-north direction.

"Our village is one of the oldest in the entire Sinai Peninsula. Although life may be a little harder, it is also because of its remote location that we can retain our own beliefs and civilization——"

On the way, Daniel introduced Liang En and the others about their ethnic group and villages. As the oldest settlers in the area, these Copts' knowledge of the area was even higher than the Egyptian official level in the area.

This is a very lucky thing for Liang En. After all, for outsiders, if they can get help from the local indigenous people, everything they do will become twice the result with half the effort.

Most of the journey to the village where Daniel and his family live is very boring, with only yellow hills and small undulating hills as far as the eye can see.

If it weren't for the road signs that appeared at regular intervals and the occasional gas station or rest area, they wouldn't even be aware of the changes in the surrounding scenery.

Fortunately, on the last stretch of the road, lush greenery began to appear at the end of the monotonous Gobi Desert. First, scattered shrubs and grass that looked like a bird's nest appeared on the ground.

However, as the car continued to move forward, one tall date palm tree after another appeared on the roadside, but because the harvest season had just passed, there were no dates on these trees.

"We're here." Daniel seemed very happy. Because in order to save money, Daniel hadn't gone home for several years, so he naturally seemed a little excited when he saw his hometown.

At this time, the entire convoy turned a small hillside, and then saw a man sitting on the handle of a two-wheeled cart using a whip to drive the donkey tied in front of the cart.

"Uncle Abraham." Since the village could now be seen with the naked eye, the entire convoy slowed down, so Daniel, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately recognized the man driving the car and waved hello.

"Ah, little Daniel is back." After hearing the shout, the middle-aged man sitting in the donkey cart followed the sound and recognized Daniel sitting in the cart.

"You should go back and take a look. Your uncle was injured before. Now everyone is discussing what to do next?" After saying hello, the middle-aged man said nervously as if he had thought of something.

Soon, the entire convoy drove into the village and stopped in an open space. Then Liang En, several of them and the doctors in the team quickly followed Daniel along the path to a courtyard that did not look luxurious.

After entering the courtyard, a middle-aged woman came out and hugged Daniel. Because she could understand Arabic, Liang En learned that this middle-aged woman was Daniel's mother.

After briefly introducing the identities of Liang En and the others, they came to a room on the left side of the main room. When the door curtain was opened, several people smelled the smell of blood.

"What is going on?" When the team doctor came forward to check the wound on the leg of the wounded man lying on the bed, Liang En leaned next to Daniel and asked in a low voice.

"You know, recently everyone has been searching for the relics of ancient Egypt around them, and my cousin also took the opportunity of herding sheep to look for several carvings carved on the cliff."

After being asked by Liang En, Daniel quickly communicated with his mother, and then told several people present in English what had happened before.

"Because my cousin is a shepherd, he knows some things that ordinary people don't know. So after knowing that you were coming, he specially brought his mobile phone to take pictures of several stone carvings that ordinary people don't know about."

"But the bad thing is that the stone carving is really far away from our village. So when he passed by this morning, he unfortunately encountered the rebel guerrillas."

"The guerrillas were able to get so close to the village!" Fan Meng immediately became nervous after hearing what Daniel said.

"This situation is not normal." Daniel immediately explained, "Although our militia is not equipped well, because we Copts are very united, those rebels tend not to approach our villages."

At this moment, the wounded man lying on the bed suddenly spoke. Although he had a thick accent, Liang En also heard from the wounded man's narrative the reasons why the guerrillas arrived around the village.

According to the injured man's statement, he was attacked on the way to the stone carving. The other party attacked because these rebels were hired by a cultural relic looting organization.

"The other party only thought that I was a nearby villager who came out to herd sheep, so they shot my leg with a gun as a warning and warned the surrounding villages not to go to the place where they are now." The wounded man on the bed took a breath and revealed his face. A smile.

"But they didn't know that when I was young, I worked as a doorman at the Cairo Hilton Hotel and could understand English. So I heard them informing an illegal excavation team not far away on the intercom, telling them that they had just discovered the surrounding area. The village shepherds were not approached by unexpected people.”

"Stop talking now." Looking at the wounded man, Liang En signaled him to be quiet in Arabic, and then turned to look at the team doctor. "How is this gentleman doing now?"

"It's not too bad. The bullet penetrated his thigh at close range, so it didn't roll over and create a huge cavity after entering his body, so it didn't damage the major blood vessels or bones." The team doctor pushed. Said his glasses.

"But the medical conditions here are so poor. Although they used sulfonamides and alcohol to temporarily disinfect the wounds, if they are not sent to the hospital for treatment quickly, infection is likely to occur——"

"But it costs at least 75,000 Egyptian pounds to go to the hospital to treat such a wound. Neither my uncle nor our family can afford so much cash for the time being." Daniel said softly.

"Anyway, our home is here, and we have always had conflicts with those rebels in the past. So this is not the first time I have encountered gunshot wounds. I think it should be fine if I rest at home for a while-"
