Big Islander 2

Chapter 530 Kidnapped

Two nearby sailing boats came to the rescue, and the tourists on board shouted loudly and beat the side of the boat vigorously, trying to scare away the big crocodile in this way.But it doesn't seem to have much effect, as can be seen from the surging water patterns on the water surface, this big guy is still active underwater, and he may have prepared a big meal.

The only thing that rejoiced them was that there was no blood on the surface of the water, which at least proved that the two people had not been bitten by the Nile crocodile, which also became their motivation to continue to rescue.

However, as time passed, they also gradually subsided. It had been more than ten minutes since they fell into the water. Even if they hadn't been eaten by the crocodile, they would have drowned long ago.

The boatman on the three-masted sailboat was a little frustrated, and he stabbed the reed boat upside down on the water with his stick: "Damn cheapskate, do you think any boat can sail on the Nile River? die-"

However, two other tourists on the boat were very interested in this reed boat and asked the boatman to salvage it. A young man was full of praise: "It is simply a perfect work of art, and it can be used to cross the Atlantic Ocean."

Another older scholar also nodded frequently: "That's right, the ancient Egyptians did do the same thing back then. Unexpectedly, there are still people who can possess this ancient skill. They won't be the descendants of the ancient Egyptians, right?" Although it is one of the four ancient civilizations, ancient Egypt has long since perished, and the Egyptians living here are mainly Arabs.

The boatman was completely speechless: who are these people, who actually have the mood to research a boat, and this crap can cross the Atlantic Ocean?
The young man was obviously dissatisfied with the boatman's attitude: "My teacher is an expert in the study of ancient Egyptian civilization, and what he said is true. Even mummies thousands of years ago, he can tell the truth from the fake."

The mummy seems to be a bit far away. It is best to salvage the two underwater people first, otherwise, they will soon become mummies. The boatman simply ignored the two passengers and found a long pole. Stir back and forth in the water.

It is true that this completely luck-based method actually worked. The boatman only felt that the pole sank, and then a big black head was brought out of the water by the lifted pole. Tang Jide hugged the pole with one hand, and Wiping the water from his hair, he dexterously climbed onto the sailboat along the pole, rubbed his head, and said reproachfully to the boatman, "Did you touch my head just now?"

This man must be crazy - the boatman was so angry that he wanted to plunge into the Nile.But the two scholars dragged Tang Jide to ask about the reed boat, completely forgetting it, as if there was still a victim in the water.

The boatman was really a good man, he simply ignored the three lunatics and continued to salvage nearby.After Xiao Xiami dismissed the anxious Nile crocodile who came to get close to her, he climbed up the pole and thanked the boatman with a smile.Just now, the Nile crocodile did not come to attack them, the main reason was that it was too big, and it overturned the reed boat all at once.When Big Tou got angry, he entangled his long mouth with water plants from the bottom of the river. He insisted on starving this reckless guy for several days, but in the end, Xiao Xiami untied him.

By God, I finally met a normal person—the boatman couldn't help sighing, he was almost driven crazy by those people just now.

On the other side, the conversation between Big Touge and the scholar-disciple became more and more speculative. Tang Jide only said that he and Xiao Xiami were explorers, and at the same time, he also knew that the scholar was Hawass, a professor at a well-known university in Cairo.The name of the apprentice is more interesting, it is called "Egyptian".At the invitation of Tang Jide, the master and the apprentice happily sat in the reed boat, which was pulled by a three-masted sailboat in front, slowly floating on the Nile River.During the period, he even rowed to the bank to go to the toilet. Originally, according to Big Head Brother’s intention, it would be settled in the river. Unexpectedly, including Hawass and the boatman, everyone strongly condemned his behavior.

Upon questioning, it turned out that the name of the boatman was "Nile River" to express his love for his hometown.No wonder, if you pee in the Nile, isn't that the same as peeing on someone's head.

Wandering until the evening, under the fiery red sunset, the Nile River is even more magnificent.At the invitation of the professor, Tang Jide also had a dinner on the sailing boat: bread, roast lamb, and of course the favorite of the Egyptians - broad beans.

After washing hands with water, start eating.Because of the silly girl, Tang Jide is quite used to eating with his hands, but sometimes he wants to use his left hand without paying attention, and "Nile River" gives him a few blank eyes.

"It would be even better if there is grilled fish. How can you not taste the delicious fish when you are guarding the Nile." Hawass was eating from a bowl and looking into the river. It happened that Tang Jide didn't care about these breads. I was very interested, so I asked the boatman for a few fishing rods, bathed in the sunset, and fished on the Nile.

There was no ready-made bait, so he asked the boatman for some fresh mutton, cut it into small pieces and hung it on the hook. As a result, this prodigal practice made the boatman pray repeatedly: I hope they can catch big bass.

Tang Jide didn't understand what he meant at first, but after catching a few palm-sized tilapias, he suddenly sensed a big guy in the water and swallowed the hook in one gulp, but it was Havas's. one.Just when Brother Big Tou felt a little regretful, the fishing rod in Hawass' hand was dragged into the river at once, and even the owner of the bamboo rod who refused to let go fell into the river with a plop.

"I really didn't do it on purpose. Who knew he could really catch big bass." The boatman also panicked and rushed to rescue Mr. Professor.I didn't do anything else that day, I just fished people out of the river.

Only then did Tang Jide know that the Nile perch is one of the largest freshwater fish. It can grow to three to four hundred catties and more than two meters long. It is a ferocious carnivorous fish.If you count on Professor's small fishhook, you will definitely not be able to catch this big guy.

But Brother Big Head has a way, he followed the vine and tied the big guy in the water with a vine whip.This guy was really fierce, jumping out of the water from time to time, dragging the sailboat to the left and right.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Tang Jide jumped into the river and carried the one-and-a-half-meter-long Nile perch into the boat. The others were so shocked that they couldn't help but wonder: how did this guy do it?
"Don't look at it, let's eat!" Tang Jide chopped off a small piece of fish, which seemed to weigh more than ten catties. As for the rest, he gave it all to Mr. Boatman, which was also a reward for his kindness. Although Tang Jide doesn't need this kind of help.

This made the boatman very happy. Such a large Nile perch is rare, and it can be regarded as a small fortune.So he cheerfully put the rest of the fish into the freezer, and then grilled the fish for Tang Jide and the professor.Due to the addition of Tang Jide's secret grilled fish ingredients, coupled with the delicious meat of the big bass itself, the professor and the apprentice were kept humming.

On the second day, the professor was fishing while the sailboat was sailing. It seemed that this guy was a bit addicted.Moreover, he also changed to the largest fishhook and directly hung more than a catty of mutton on it, which made the boatman feel distressed.Under his secret curse, the professor had fished all day and was still empty-handed, but the piece of mutton was eaten up by the small fish.

Tang Jide was not idle either, lazily leaning there to fish, lifting the fishing rod from time to time, and took a small fish from it.At night, there were actually more than half of the barrels.The boatman said that there were actually several electric eels inside.His body was a sticky khaki color, with a few beards, like rolling flesh.

For these small fish, the boatman was a bit at a loss as to how to process them. In the end, Brother Big Tou cooked two large plates of braised fish.How could the professor and the apprentice have eaten this before? Naturally, they were supported again.

Eating and drinking enough is naturally chatting. When he heard that Tang Jide and the others were going to travel in Cairo, the professor immediately stated that he would act as their temporary tour guide.But from the boatman's point of view, the professor obviously wanted to eat and drink with others.But even he had to admit that the black man with the big head was really good at his craft.

"Hey, our assistants have all their money, and we got separated. I'm afraid we can't afford to hire you as a great tour guide." Tang Jide spread his hands, indicating that he was penniless.

The professor was stunned for a moment, but then he laughed loudly: "Don't worry, everything is on me. However, I have a small request, can you give me a packet of your seasoning?"

The two sides took what they needed, and naturally hit it off. Seeing that the professor is also a fellow NPC foodie, Tang Jide gave him more than half of the barbecue ingredients in the pitcher, and the professor was so happy that he didn't fall asleep half the night.

As a result, as soon as he fell asleep, he heard a sound of footsteps on the deck, and then a few soldiers with live ammunition broke into the cabin, all of them looked like menacing spirits.Tang Jide woke up early, and was about to make a move, but was blocked by Xiao Xiami's eyes, and Brother Datou was puzzled: Can you recognize us in this disguise?
Soon he knew that he was being self-indulgent. It turned out that the target was Professor Hawass, and he said that he asked the professor to assist in the investigation.The professor was a little bookish, and asked the other party's identity and origin in a very stern tone, and asked them to show relevant documents. Without official documents, he would not work for the military.

You are really a nerd, when a scholar meets a soldier, it is reasonable to say that you know it or not, this group of people is not serious at first glance, they say they are inviting you, but in fact they are kidnapping in disguise - Tang Jide is very impressed by the emotional intelligence of this professor concern.

Sure enough, the other party immediately began to take tough measures, directly setting up the teacher and apprentice.Tang Jide took a look, and quickly stepped forward to stop him: "You can't treat my friend like this!"

"Who are you?" An officer asked coldly, there were no photos of Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami on their kidnapping list.

The professor probably also realized the danger: "They are explorers, don't make things difficult for them!"

The explorer, who must have been well-informed, happened to take them away together—with a wave of the officer, Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami were kidnapped just like that, but they were voluntary.

Moreover, Tang Jide was very aware of the tricks of this kind of person, so when he stepped onto the deck, he took advantage of the night and threw the boatman into the Nile River, and sent him to the shore with a cane whip, which was considered to have saved his life.

As for the four of Tang Jide and his party, they were put on a yacht, put on full power, and disappeared into the darkness. What kind of fate awaited them was unknown.But someone actually kidnapped Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami, and I really don't know what fate they will suffer——
