Big Islander 2

538 Falcon
Legend has it that in the vast Atlantic Ocean, there is a continent called Daxizhou, which once had a high degree of civilization, that is, the civilization of Atlantis.Unfortunately, more than 1 years ago, Atlantis sank into the Atlantic Ocean due to irresistible forces, and the Atlantean civilization was also buried on the seabed.All this was described by the famous ancient Greek scholar Plato.

The legend of Daxizhou has always been confusing, and Tang Jide was half-believing, but now he actually heard the news from Sophie. Based on his understanding of nerds, he always speaks in words, which is more reliable, and he will never arrange it randomly.

So, they didn't want to visit the museum anymore and left in a hurry.Only the pheasant was a little bit reluctant, holding the string of shell necklaces in its paws: "Do you accept cultural relics? This was unearthed from the pyramid. How about a price?"

The tourists next to him looked at Tang Jide with strange eyes: You are crazy about money, why don't you sell the shoes on your feet to the museum?
"Shut up!" Big Brother couldn't bear it anymore, he grabbed the pheasant by the neck and took it out of the museum.In fact, the pheasant and big star can enter here, and they have already given Xiao Xiami a lot of face.A few days ago, she accompanied Professor Hawass to this museum.

After finding a hotel and settling down, Xiao Xiami continued to communicate with Sophie, and soon received an email from Sophie. The content was that she translated the last part of the Golden Book and the text on the photo, and claimed that , she will rush to Cairo to join Tang Jide and the others soon, and then go to find Daxizhou together.

Tang Jide stopped her immediately after hearing this: "Let's make preparations first. Let's take action after we finish working here for the past few months." There's no point in going any further, and it's better to settle this matter as soon as possible.

To put it bluntly, this is why Sophie and Sanchez over there temporarily gave up the idea of ​​looking for Daxizhou.In fact, Tang Jide can also understand their feelings. Looking for the lost continent itself has an irresistible allure. If he hadn't been responsible, he would definitely have rushed to the Atlantic Ocean without hesitation.

Tang Jide also read the translated text twice, and it was not too long. For example, after the text on the photo was translated, it mainly talked about the god named Amon. The reason why he was called the Hidden One was that Because of his special origin, he came from Atlantis, and whether it was ancient Egypt or the Indian tribes in South America, Atlantis was once conquered by Atlantis, and because of this, he also passed on part of the civilization of Atlantis to the past. .

Tang Jide has personally experienced this incident, so it should be more credible.He also vaguely heard Piaoran old Taoist mention that in the long years of the earth, there should have been several seasons of civilization.It's just that due to their different reasons, they all gradually disappeared in the vicissitudes of the years, and now they can only vaguely find some incomplete evidence. Daxizhou may be one of the past.

Pressing the curiosity in their hearts, Tang Jide and the others continued their journey, crossing the Red Sea eastward and entering Saudi territory, which was the only way they had to go to the Golden Crescent area.Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami still had dark skin, but they also wore robes and headscarves decently.Brother Datou is wearing a white robe and a flamboyant red plaid turban; Xiao Xiami is wearing a black robe and a black veil to cover it tightly.If you don't look carefully, it looks like an Arab woman.

Seeing their outfits, Da Xing also made signs and wanted to change them up, but was scolded by Tang Jide.You know, this is the most traditional country in the entire Arab country. Everything follows the "Quran" and the teachings of the Prophet. If you little monkey wears a robe, you won't be beaten to death with a whip.You know, in this kind of religious country, the law is all on the sidelines. For example, those who take drugs can even be sentenced to death directly, and those who commit adultery can also be flogged to death.

After passing through a narrow impact plain, they gradually entered the desert area. Tang Jide and his jeep had long been left in Cairo, so now they can only walk.In the yellow sands of the Gobi, sometimes you have to go far to see some herdsmen grazing goats, sheep and camels. They still lead a nomadic life.In such a big Gobi, the vegetation is sparse, and most of them are drought-tolerant desert plants with few leaves and many thorns. The life of herdsmen is very difficult.

Now this time is approaching summer in the northern hemisphere, so the temperature in the Gobi is very high, definitely over 40 degrees Celsius, and the pheasants are wilting from the sun: "Big head, why don't we get two camels, or a donkey. "

Tang Jide clapped his hands and said, "No money." He didn't enter the city on the way, so he hadn't exchanged the Saudi currency riyal on his body, let alone buying camels, and even eating was about to become a problem.

"Are you pilgrims too?" Two men in white robes came up behind at some point, also walking on foot.The real pilgrims, with a pious heart, use their footsteps to measure the Holy Land of Mecca.

After all, I have lived with Sha Gu for several years, and I have no problem with daily conversations, let alone Xiao Xiami, who can even read books in Arabic.Therefore, Tang Jide also greeted the other party, and then explained that they were tourists from Africa.

No wonder they brought a chimpanzee with them—the two looked at Daxing and the pheasant, and their doubts were also resolved. After leaving a few words of blessing, they continued their pilgrimage.

"Look at them, you better fly forward quickly, pheasant." Tang Jide shook his arm, and the pheasant that landed on it was thrown into the air.However, the guy flapped his wings twice, and landed on Tang Jide's shoulders again, muttering dissatisfiedly: "Big head, you're playing with an eagle—"

Tang Jide chuckled a few times: "There is a rabbit over there, if you can catch it, I will carry you all the way."

Looking along Tang Jide's fingers, a rabbit appeared under a bush of thorns more than 100 meters away.The pheasant weighed it up and felt that it was no problem for him to defeat a rabbit, so he spread his wings and rushed over, roaring in his mouth: "Wu that three-petal mouth, take your life quickly—"

As soon as it bluffed like this, the rabbit had already been alerted and ran away quickly, while the pheasant was full of lazy meat, and its flying speed was much slower than that of others. If it got into the hole, it would be difficult to catch it.Tang Jide shook his head straight after seeing it: "What the hell, this is simply a tip-off to the prey!"

At this moment, a blue-brown figure flashed across the air, as fast as lightning, swooping down towards the hare, but it was a vigorous falcon.It suddenly cut its wings and landed on top of the hare. With a clasp of its claws, it grabbed the hare firmly.The sharp claws penetrated into the flesh, and the hare only had to kick its legs.In just ten seconds, a thrilling hunting process came to an end.

"Is it robbery? Give me back that hare—" The pheasant wanted to take advantage of it, but the falcon didn't know what the gaudy strange bird was calling, so it dropped the dead rabbit and rushed towards the pheasant in the air , menacing, those sharp eyes, frightened the pheasant liver trembling, flew back in a panic, and shouted "Big head, help me".

Not enough success, more than failure, Tang Jide snorted twice, and just about to make a move, he saw the big star beside him swung his long arm, drawing a beautiful arc in a circle, and spun towards the falcon.It is an old partner with the pheasant, so of course it can't do nothing.

That falcon was really vigorous, it suddenly rose up in the air, the paper-shaped mark passed under it, and then spun back into the little claw of the big star.However, being so disturbed by it, the pheasant finally rolled and crawled into Tang Jide's embrace.The falcon seemed to be quite unwilling, and kept circling in the air, and let out a loud and clear eagle cry.

At this time, an Arabian man appeared on the opposite side of the sand dune, and with a whistling sound, the falcon flew straight to him and landed directly on the man's arm.

I have heard Sha Gu said that Arab men like to tame falcons, and I have seen it today.Tang Jide and the others went up to meet them, and picked up the fat hare along the way.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a middle-aged man with a thick beard, rough skin, and a weather-beaten appearance.He wore a long leather glove on his right hand, on which the falcon landed, its claws moved from time to time, from the man's arm to his hand, a pair of piercing round eyes, Looking at Tang Jide and the others with disdain, the meaning of provocation is very strong.

"Pull what?" Pheasant was rather annoyed.

However, Tang Jide still greeted the other party politely. This person should live nearby. The food he brought is almost exhausted. It is best to go to fight the autumn wind.

Like the proud falcon, the man didn't pay much attention to Tang Jide and the others. Instead, he took a few glances at the pheasant, and after realizing that it was a parrot instead of a falcon, he took the rabbit handed over by Tang Jide, Turn around and want to leave.

Tang Jide scratched the back of his head. He seemed to have forgotten to say something just now. He should praise his falcon. This is like flattering a horse's butt and praising a good horse. The owner will definitely be delighted.

At this time, Xiao Xiami, who had been unknown until now, suddenly said something in Arabic, and then saw the falcon suddenly fly up from the middle-aged man's arm, and then landed on the back of Xiao Xiami's outstretched hand.

The middle-aged man was startled at first, thinking that the falcon was going to hurt people, but soon he was stunned, and saw that the falcon, which was only loyal to him, was standing obediently on the back of the woman's hand, Rubbing the other party's veil with his mouth docilely, he was more obedient than a sheep.What made him feel even more unbelievable was that the woman's skin, which was scratched by the falcon, didn't even have a scratch. You know, even the middle-aged man who lived in the desert and became rough and fleshy, the man who served the falcon Sometimes, you have to wear a leather case.

How is this possible——for Khaled, who is most familiar with falcons, all this has completely subverted his life philosophy for decades. In fact, he didn't know that Xiao Xiami hadn't shot just now, otherwise, his head The Falcon has long since ceased to belong to him.

After whistling a few times, Falcon stopped talking to him at all, and Khaled didn't even dare to look at Xiao Xiami again: This woman must have magical powers, don't be fooled by her eyes.

But the pheasant was finally proud, and took the opportunity to start the lion to open his mouth, saying, "Send me two camels, and I'll give you back the falcon!"

So Khalid began to struggle: he hated the two camels, but even more hated the falcon——
