Chapter 74
The sun comes out 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 out into the desert.

After sleeping in my nest for the whole night, I stood up tremblingly and stretched, only to hear the bones cracking.Li Yuan also sat in the middle of the night, and he didn't feel tired at all. He was as refreshed as a lotus flower out of water.

Guangyu kindly gave me some ancestral plasters.

I finished washing with my waist supported, and was about to go back to pack my luggage when Patrick stopped me and asked me to help him sort out the materials.

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

Jacqueline was stuck in a pile of papyrus, seeing us coming, she murmured "Thank God" and handed me a stack of materials without any explanation.

These documents are all in the same ancient Egyptian language as the bottom of the statue yesterday.This language should not be known, so it is engraved on the bottom of the statue.In the last century, a scholar deciphered it based on the records in an underground "library" of Ptolemy. Patrick happened to have seen that person's notes, and had a natural sensitivity to language, so he could barely translate it. Eighty-eight.

"We consulted and compared all the astronomical and geographical records from the ancient kingdom to the Hellenistic period, and deduced that Thutmose III completed the entire sacrificial process. From the sacrifice of 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 hurry to get from Thebes to the temple in the deep desert. We also collected some key information at the Temple of Seth yesterday, and the priests of Egypt also shared the astrology chart Draw it out. At our current speed, if we know the direction, we can arrive tonight."

Patrick confessed to me: "I would like to ask you to help me look through these materials and find out the whole story of Thutmose III's construction of that temple."

Then he turned and went into the tent, and Jacqueline shoved me away by pushing me on the back before I knew it.

"Go and pack your things, the desert will not wait for anyone."

I took those documents 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 asked the little girl to call someone.Her lover shook his daughter's hand in the video and waved.The girl who was combing two little braids said hello to me sweetly, and asked her mother when she would be home.

I got out of the tent with my things.In the early hours of the morning, Lao Zhang and Ah Tian left messages to me saying they were fine, and told me not to worry about it.Although I am still a little worried, there is nothing else to do.

He Rongchuan walked towards him: "Morning! Cleaned up so quickly?"

I suppressed my worries and nodded with a smile: "Morning, where is Louer?"

He pointed to the open tent behind him.I took a step and walked over.

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

Jiang Can's sleeping posture was not good, and most of him was on Lou Shiqi's body.Lou Shiqi was lying on his back in an orderly manner as if in a burial, his brows were furrowed in pain, fearing that if he fell asleep again, he really wouldn't be able to wake up.

I didn't expect that these two people were still sleeping, advancing or retreating for a while.But when I thought about what Teacher Bai told me, I still yelled: "Hey, don't go to sleep, you have to leave and put your things back quickly."

When I was upstairs, Qi staggered out of the tent and asked if I had put on the plaster.

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

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

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

"Hello!" Lou Shiqi happily greeted Lvzhi with a washbasin in his hand, and then said to Chang Xiao, "The Tianmendong is growing really well."

Chang Xiao looked up at him rarely, and reluctantly nodded. "Well, I have been raising it."

I just don't know whether to complain about people who come to the Egyptian desert and bring potted plants or people who can say hello to plants.But as a reliable teammate, I reminded Lou Shiqi: "Don't be poor, Teacher Bai is looking for you."

Since the large-scale equipment is not easy to carry and is no longer needed, each team assigned some people to stay in the camp. Guangyu and Han Jiangxue were left behind in 279, and Master Xie was not seen among the people walking together.

Everyone packed their luggage, leaving no personal traces behind.

Before departure, Chang Xiao handed over the potted plants to Guang Yu, who also liked it very much.

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

"Old Bai, the information is not symmetrical, this puzzle can't be put together." Chang Xiao glanced at everyone, and the words "I'm not interested in you" were almost written on his face. "I suggest keeping these uncooked melon eggs, and don't take them with you to cause trouble."

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

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

It was the first time that Chang Xiao had a direct interaction with Teacher Bai.Now I believe what He Rongchuan said about these two being friends.After all, this is the first time 279 is really thinking about letting us two archaeologists leave.

Lou Shiqi watched the United Nations loading guns into the car bag by bag, and whispered, "It's so dangerous..." He flinched a bit, and looked around while pinching the half-gnawed sugarcane.

When I crossed the building with my own luggage, Qi went to the car, luckily, and lifted the box up to the roof of the car.Li Yuan held onto the dangling box, picked it up with one hand and put it on it.

After a while, when he was upstairs, Qi also put his suitcase on the car.

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

Arno stepped out of the tent.He looked radiant, and even had jeweled cufflinks on his cuffs that matched his eyes.Different from other people's light and simple clothes, Arnold carried a suitcase in addition to a backpack.He was complaining that he didn't sleep well last night, the sleeping bag was too thin, and the sand made his back hurt.

"Princess and the Pea." Carl found an opportunity and taunted mercilessly.

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

This time Karl was holding back his energy and wanted to get back on the scene, and responded to him: "Okay, then you come to me tonight."

Now the choked person 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 promise Boothwell made. Carl's people are very excited, and they are gearing up to go to the desert to pan for gold.

We were told by the real experts who were left behind in the camp that there were in fact considerable resources beneath the Sahara.If this turned the desert over, it would be a cornucopia.It's no wonder that Rhea is really so devoted to the operation of the "Eastern Sahara Desert Resource Expedition".If it is really made, it is indeed quite impressive.

Speaking of Rhea, it's all about to go, and she hasn'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 that we were afraid of attracting attention.The convoy in front of me made it hard for me to understand these people's definition of "unobtrusive".However, seeing that they carried more weapons than daily necessities, it seemed that they had made up their minds to fight quickly no matter what they encountered.

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

The convoy came to a halt in a wadi valley that didn't show up on Google Maps.Going further to the west is almost to Libya, which belongs to the three-way zone.

In fact, I am more worried about the Egyptian military than the confusing destination.After all, we are still in a society ruled by law, so what if I get caught.No matter how you say it, the resource inspection team will not be able to inspect such a place.

This worry was not dispelled until I learned that the United States had cut off the GPS of the Egyptian military long ago.

When we set off again, we changed to camels, this small animal known as the boat of the desert.The camels in the Egyptian desert are dromedaries. They are not comfortable to ride, but they are unique.It's not that we want to go back to basics, but the guide came and said that we can't just drive in the future, we have to change to traditional means of transportation.He also told everyone to follow closely, because the magnetic field there would affect electronic equipment.

Stephanie and Karl, each with their own unbelief, rushed out in the car.But it broke down within a few steps.

When carrying the luggage, Alex lamented: Egypt looks like a small piece on the map, but after I got here, I found out that it is actually very big.The boundless desert is surrounded by the Nile River that has flowed for thousands of years

We don't feel anything.Go to XJ Gansu NMG to see which desert is not as exciting as this one.

Jiang Can said, if this were left in China, it would not be a desert by long ago.Indeed, we Chinese have a strong instinct to improve living conditions and protect the earth.

But the barren desert of Egypt is really hot.

Because Lou Shiqi was reluctant to let the Egyptian barber touch him, his hair was now lying on his neck, which was half long and not short.I didn't pay attention to it before, it turns out that this guy still has some self-made papers.The heat was unbearable at the moment, he tied his hair into a short ponytail, his outline became much clearer, and he even revealed a bit of intuitive stupidity.

He Rongchuan didn't know what he said, Lou Shiqi shook his head twice, and the little pigtail trembled playfully.

There is a lack of realism in the desert.In just a few days, I can't remember the last time I felt comfortable lying on the sofa.With that comes a loss of control over reality.

It may be that the desert is too barren, and I even want to hurry up and leave, but it gets dark again soon.

The setting sun in the vast desert, the endless stream of yellow sand and the slow camel bell.But no matter how good the scenery is, I basically got nothing by going around in the desert today.

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

It's been several days, it's the same desert, even the night is the same.The stars were covered by the moon, and the direction could not be discerned.Fortunately, the full moon only comes out for a while every night. As we go farther and farther in the desert, the time of each full moon will advance.

We don't know what lies ahead, but the night is awake and the desert is lit up under the full moon.

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

Someone is puzzled.

Meng Weiqing pressed the tobacco leaves in the pipe. "It will be the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month soon. If the fake meets the real, what can we do?"

All I saw in the past few nights were full moons, and I almost forgot that the moon on the fifteenth day was also round.

The stars all over 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 the gods was monopolized by the royal family and the high priests, common people prayed like their own 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 priest of astrology, the two of them gathered together to watch the stars again, and Alex and Arno also came to join in.Looking at the beauties under the moon, these few have a good appearance.

I admired it for a while, then walked over to gaze at the same moon under these stars.

The breeze slowly blows a cloud.As the moon is obscured, the stars appear even brighter.The sun has been getting lower and lower these days, and the moon has been full.

Li Yuan looked at the sky: "The Big Dipper will guide the direction."

Across the sand sea, towards the east.

I don't know if the Yin family's millennium-based plan can also be implemented in front of us.

It was like the ink that could not be melted was washed by water, and the night just flowed away.Early the next morning, we continued deep into this hostile desert.

 Resisting the laziness that comes with the cold and completing the update that is half a month in arrears
  Ehe.
