Chapter 548 (1/2)
The sky is very blue, strolling lazily with a few white clouds, and the earth is a long yellow sand. The sand is not golden, but a little gray yellow; It is not as delicate as the sand on the beach, but mixed with many stones and gravel. Some larger stones are scattered everywhere with the footprints of tourists.
The hot sun was in the sky, and there was no water in the steaming heat. The three pyramids stand in the distance, and the tip of hafra tower in the middle seems to be wearing a triangular golden hat, which is particularly dazzling.
Dun Shuying regretted coming here to play. Although she applied sunscreen and wore a sun hat, she still felt that her body was unreservedly exposed to the sun. The sun got into her clothes like a bad boy's hand and ravaged her delicate skin wantonly.
It's still spring in Seoul this season!
”Hey, look, the Sphinx!” Park Zaiyuan next to him looked excited, left his frowning girlfriend and desperately pressed the shutter of the camera.
Chui Shuying had already seen the huge statue crawling in the sand. At first, she was really shocked, but the shock was not lasting and was soon melted away by the hot air around her.
In addition to the heat, she also felt bored and depressed. She always felt that she was standing on a strange and empty land and would fall into quicksand at any time.
”Zai yuan, I don't want to play anymore!” she said.
”Er?” Park Zaiyuan squatted there, put the camera in front of his face and skillfully adjusted the focal length, ”why? We finally came here!”
”But... I...”
Dun Shuying doesn't know how to say. She doesn't want to spoil her boyfriend. He is an Egyptian fan. If he has nothing to do, he can read the information of pyramids and ancient Egyptian dynasties on the Internet. And for this trip, the two young people saved money for a long time.
Park Zaiyuan stood up and saw that Teng Shuying's face was really not very good. He asked, ”what's the matter with you? Is it uncomfortable?”
Chui Shuying shook her head: ”no, I just don't like this place very much.”
Park Zaiyuan looked around and saw the misty dust in the distance. He smiled and said, ”the desert is like this. Let me take you to climb the pyramid.”
”Ah?”
”Do you know that the three pyramids of Giza are facing the three stars in Orion's belt. Make a wish on the spire of the pyramid, which can be heard by the gods living in Orion, and the wish can be realized.”
”Is it true?” girls always have a strong curiosity about divination, wishing and so on.
”Maybe it's true!” Park Zaiyuan said. ”Otherwise, why did the ancient Egyptians make the pyramids like this? There are many mysteries here. It is said that the old people didn't die, but their souls temporarily lived elsewhere and kept their mummies for the day when they were resurrected.”
Dun Shuying was obviously not very interested in the mummy. Staring at the pyramid in the distance, she said, ”however, the pyramid is not allowed to climb. The sign outside says that climbing the pyramid without permission will be imprisoned for one to three years!”
”Don't worry, look at me!” Park Zaiyuan blinked at her, took her hand and ran in the direction of the pyramid.
There are many tourists, most of whom take photos in front of Khufu pyramid and hafra pyramid. Two Arabs with camels are selling their camels, and tourists can ride them to take pictures.
Park Zaiyuan inquired about the price in English, and the Arab said 100 Egyptian pounds. Park Zaiyuan thought it was a little expensive and asked if fifty Egyptian pounds would do. The Arab readily agreed, and then shouted to let the camel lie down.
Park Zaiyuan helped Teng Shuying to ride the camel together. The Arabs seemed very experienced. While directing the camel to move slowly, they asked them to pose in various shapes, such as reaching out to ”grasp”, which looked like they had grasped the tip of the pyramid in their hands in the photo.
Teng Shuying is in a much better mood. However, when they came down, the Arabs said they would charge money first and 200 Egyptian pounds. She was in a bad mood again.
Park Zaiyuan began to argue with the Arabs, but the Arabs no longer speak English, but always speak Arabic, occasionally mixed with one or two sentences of English, which is also ferocious. A few Arabs gathered around and seemed to be their accomplices. They said they wouldn't let them down from the camel without paying.
A policeman patrolling not far away turned away when he saw the quarrel here.
Urging Shuying to pull Park Zaiyuan's clothes: ”Zaiyuan, forget it, just give them 200 Egyptian pounds.”
Park Zaiyuan is not afraid. He is a rock climber and has practiced Taekwondo. He has a strong body. Even if he really fights, he will not suffer losses. Moreover, he is a reasonable party. These Arabs obviously bully them. They are unfamiliar with their lives. He rubbed and jumped down from the camel, opened his hands and said, ”Shuying, you jump down and I'll follow you.”
Dun Shuying jumped down and was caught by park Zaiyuan.
Park Zaiyuan took out fifty Egyptian pounds from his wallet, patted the Arab on the chest, and then took Chui Shuying and left without looking back.
I thought they would catch up. Unexpectedly, the Arabs got the money and said nothing. They turned to look for other tourists.
”Shuying, don't be angry with those profiteers. Let's play with us.” Park Zaiyuan was afraid that his girlfriend would lose interest.
Chui Shuying was not as upset as she was just now and said, ”ha, I'm not angry!”
”Have you made a wish?”
”Well, I've made up my mind. However, there are so many people here. How can we climb?”
”Let's go ahead.”
Park Zaiyuan took Dun Shuying to the innermost Menkaura pyramid. Menkaura is the smallest of the three pyramids, and there are few tourists here.
