Chapter 1212 Return to Siwa

It turned out that the good idea that Fina came up with was to let Zhang Zian carry a few bottles of honey with him. Once he met a army of mosquitoes, he would decisively smash the bottle and pour the honey on himself, sacrificing himself to protect Fina...

It sounds like a fool who is loyal to the Lord.

The so-called ancient mosquito repellent technique was nothing more than driving mosquitoes from one's side to others and letting others bite them on their behalf.

Zhang Zian felt that this method was really a traitor, which was completely a damaging act for others and self-interest. He was just now feeling pitiful of ancient Egyptian slaves, but in a blink of an eye he became a modern slave who sacrificed himself to feed mosquitoes.

However, when Fina pointed at it with her claws, he did not dare to resist openly, and secretly wondered how to get away with this matter, or hoped that it would forget it in a while.

Unexpectedly, Richard jumped up and shouted, "Gaga! I think this method is great! Anyway, you can apply more cooling oil, and your body smells of honey and cooling oil, making the mosquitoes fly around and at a loss, and it feels sour and refreshing to think about it!"

"You are very light. What if honey has a temptation to mosquitoes more than its lethality to cool oil on mosquitoes?" Zhang Zi'an retorted, "Or I'll pour honey on you. You can lead the mosquito army away. I will make some nut barbecue to worship you during the holidays in the future..."

The two of them said one by one, and recommended each other to be cannon fodder in different ways. The advantage is that they don’t feel bored on a long journey.

After driving west for a long time, I finally arrived at Siwa Oasis again in the afternoon.

Yesterday, when I came to Siwa Oasis, I just passed by and didn’t have time to stop and visit. But today they have time. If nothing unexpected happens, they will find a hotel here tonight, and wait until they meet with Professor Wei Kang tomorrow, and then set off to the Bedouin tribe, join Salim, Nabarri, Lipitt and the genius of the Cosmic Information Society, and form a team to enter the depths of the desert.

There are few opportunities for them to enjoy the convenience of a civilized world.

The sun gradually sets in the west, and Zhang Zi'an decided to find a hotel to settle in first, and then consider eating, drinking and having fun.

The hotel level here certainly cannot satisfy Fina, but there is no other way. Anyway, it’s just a night. Besides, after entering the desert, I can’t even stay in a hotel of this level.

"I have a little donkey, and I never ride it! One day, I rode it to the market on a whim! I held a small whip in my hand, and I yelled~"

There are many donkey carts coming and going in the town. The center of the town is a market with people coming and going. Under the simple canvas tent, there are many vendors selling various small commodities. Richard landed on Zhang Zi'an's shoulder and hummed nursery rhymes according to the situation. However, Zhang Zi'an always feels indescribable awkward in his ears...

The anti-swelling and anti-it-it-all effect of cool oil is still very obvious. Richard turned from a blue-eyed cockatoo back to an African gray parrot. In fact, it looked quite cute and cute.

Zhang Zi'an chose a hotel located in the market, which has three floors, which doesn't look too old.

Before entering the town, in order to avoid the trouble of staying in the hotel, he had already invisible all the elves.

He stopped the car and asked the receptionist for the most spacious room on the third floor. Anyway, it is the off-season for tourism and most of the rooms are empty and no one lives there.

After checking in, he moved his luggage into the guest room on the third floor. The elves had already come up first. They opened the window and looked at a group of strange mud brick buildings - to be precise, they should be a pile of ruins, just like the abandoned ancient wind-eroded cities in the Gobi Desert in northwest China. However, this building does not seem to be caused by wind-eroded, because wind erosion has a distinctive characteristic. The wind blows horizontally and will carve horizontal erosion marks on the surface of the building.

"Strange, how did these houses become so dilapidated?" Lao Cha asked in surprise.

Zhang Zi'an had done his homework before coming and put down his luggage and explained: "That area is called Shali, which is left over from the 13th century and is the first residential area here. Because the average annual rainfall in Egypt was zero, the rain was not considered when building these mud brick houses. As a result, in 1926, there was a heavy rain here that lasted for three days... Later, people did not level Shali, and retained the ruins as a witness to history, and began to build new houses on the periphery."

"oh."

Lao Cha understood that it turned out that the rain washed down the houses, and probably some people died.

In places where it does not rain at all, for heavy rain that occurs in hundreds or even thousands of years, is it necessary to consider rain during construction?

It's really hard to say.

To this day, ordinary houses are still covered with mud bricks, just betting that the next heavy rain will not come too early.

As the sun sets, the ancient city of Shali is built against the mountains. It is the earliest place in Siwa town to welcome the sun and bid farewell to the sunset.

The sun shrouded the ruins with a mysterious orange-red layer, and the shadows formed by the ruins seemed particularly dim, like a tombstone for people to remember the old appearance of the past.

Speaking of which, the purpose of the construction of the ancient city of Shali was actually to defend against the nomadic peoples in the desert - the Bedouin. Perhaps the Bedouin people centuries ago were not as comfortable as they are now.

Zhang Zi'an first reported his safety to Professor Wei Kang on his mobile phone, saying that he had arrived in Siwa safely. Wei Kang also said that they were purchasing supplies very smoothly and that they should be able to meet as scheduled tomorrow.

"Let's go out for a walk before it gets completely dark and get dinner done."

Of course the elves have no objection.

Siwa, a small town that was left on the edge of the country, has no famous delicacies. It is nothing more than a variety of barbecue and vegetables, and it is also very monotonous. Just fill your stomach randomly.

Although this is just a small town, it is surprising that there are more than 2,000 springs scattered in a scattered manner, most of which have not been developed and are in a natural state.

In the morning, Zhang Zi'an advised Shihua to end the live broadcast as soon as possible, and planned to bring her here and find a spring without anyone to let her broadcast live.

There was definitely no suitable spring in the town. He drove south out of the town and passed through the dense date palm forest. A large circular pool made of bricks and stone appeared in front of him.

Several local half-grown children were laughing and playing in the big pool to cool off. There were a few people who looked like tourists next to them taking photos.

He glanced at Fina and said, "Previously, the huge rocks on the seashore of Port Mahru were known as Cleopatra VII. It is known as Cleopatra VII's bathhouse and is also the most famous spring in Siva."

Fina was indifferent, "She wouldn't take a bath in such a place."

Zhang Zian shrugged, "I think so."

It’s just a gimmick of historical celebrities as a gimmick to attract tourists.
