my days in ancient egypt

A dream of a thousand years

In March in Egypt, the temperature is suitable, which is the peak season for tourism.

Around the famous pyramids, tourists are bustling with each other.Mu Xiaomu sat on the jeep, boredly looking at the dust around him, wrinkled his nose and sneezed.

In the seat next to him, Dad was talking to a local researcher in Arabic, which he didn't understand.

The scorching sun was shining in the sky, Mu Xiaomu was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, but he was still sweating from the heat, and there was no air-conditioning in the car, he was so hot that he was almost on fire.

The majestic pyramids gradually faded away in sight, gradually turning into a small golden dot.

After driving for nearly half an hour, the car stopped at a sandy land with few people.

The Egyptian who was driving took out a black suitcase from the trunk, took out some instruments from it and handed them to Dad and another Egyptian.The three of them walked to a stone pier not far away, and the Egyptian emphasized a few more words, and stretched out his hand to move the stone pier by a position. As the stone pier moved away, an inconspicuous black hole appeared below.

Mu Xiaomu, who was originally in a slump, became interested all of a sudden, and stretched his neck to look in.

After the preparations for going down the hole were completed, the three of them went down the rope.Mu Xiaomu was not allowed to go in, so he could only guard at the entrance of the cave.

"Xiao Mu, go back to the car and sit down. Don't run around. Dad will come up in a while." After the father explained, he entered the cave enthusiastically, leaving Mu Xiaomu waiting by the car.

Mu Xiaomu felt that this trip was not worth it!

If I had known that he would not be allowed to go down the cave, it would be better to sleep in a hotel.

After casually flipping through the bag in the overturned car, Mu Xiaomu took out a bottle of mineral water, leaning against the car door and looking around boredly.

Ten minutes later, Mu Xiaomu saw that his father hadn't come up yet, so he rolled his eyes and walked over carefully.

The chiseled black hole is so small that only one adult can pass through it at a time.

Long before he came here, his father had told him that this time he was going to a folk burial room that had been dug by tomb robbers.Originally, there were not many ordinary tombs like this in the underground of Egypt.But according to Dad, this tomb is different.

In ancient Egypt, the hierarchical system was strict. After ordinary people were buried in the earth, most of the buried objects were pottery and utensils. There were not many things with research value, so they were not worth mining.But this tomb is different. It is said that the area inside can be compared with a royal tomb. Although the funerary objects have been looted by tomb robbers, but fortunately the exquisite portraits on the stone walls have not been destroyed, which shows the value of research.

So Dad speculated that this might be a member of the ancient Egyptian royal family.

Mu Xiaomu squatted aside, propped his body up with his hands, burrowed his head into the hole, took a look, it was pitch black inside, and there was a mildew-like smell.

Mu Xiaomu became curious for a moment, and got in along the rope.

As soon as his feet hit the ground, it felt like the loose soil was soft. Mu Xiaomu's eyes were dark. He tried to call his father a few times, but no one responded.

Mu Xiaomu walked towards the side in the dark, but the whole tomb seemed to have no boundaries. After walking for a long time, he didn't reach the side. Mu Xiaomu panicked and began to regret that he was disobedient and came down.

There was no sound in the surroundings, and the dull place was indeed a tomb.

There was darkness ahead, and it was impossible to find the way. Mu Xiaomu could only bite the bullet and continue walking step by step, hoping to meet his father or someone else.

The further you go in, the darker it becomes.Mu Xiaomu's whole heart was in his throat.

After scolding himself all over the stomach, he still had to grope carefully.

There seemed to be no obstacles under the feet, and the soft soil was mixed with the smell of damp mildew. Suddenly, the outstretched fingers touched a hard object, the touch of a stone.

Mu Xiaomu was overjoyed.

I heard from my father that the tombs in ancient Egypt were rectangular, so as long as you walk along the wall, you will be able to find the hole you just came down.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaomu stretched out another hand to support the stone wall.

"Meow~"

In the darkness, a pair of emerald eyes suddenly opened, with a faint blue light, looking straight into Mu Xiaomu's eyes.Like an emissary from hell, he instantly opened the dark door.

"what!!!"

Mu Xiaomu let out a loud cry and passed out.

The cat in the dark stretched gracefully, looked at the fainted Mu Xiaomu with dark green eyes, then shook its pitch-black hair, jumped from the stone table to his side, and patted his paws. Face.

"Meow~"

The retreat of the Nile River symbolizes a good harvest for the year.

People can't help but cheer:

O Sun, you have shone since the beginning of the world,

You rise high and lead the world to beauty.

……

You gave Egypt the Nile from the underworld.

Along the road leading to Thebes, there are palm trees planted one after another, and the huge leaves cover the fire-like sunlight, leaving a shade.

A young man was sleeping under the tree, wearing clothes of strange fabrics, even the patterns had never been seen before.

"Huh, are you from the East?" Fata stopped under the tree and looked down at the sleeping boy.

Mu Xiaomu moved his body, feeling warm and comfortable all over.As if after a comfortable sleep, Mu Xiaomu lazily opened his eyes.

"you're awake?"

Mu Xiaomu half closed his eyes, and a black figure appeared in front of him, speaking a language he didn't understand.

Fata is a young Egyptian boy with a tall build, healthy copper-brown skin, short black hair, a vigorous face, and a smile that makes others smile.

Seeing Mu Xiaomu's appearance of just waking up, Fata bent down and looked at him with bright eyes: "My name is Fata, you are from the East, right? What's your name?"

Mu Xiaomu couldn't understand what he said, so he could only shake his head obediently, blinking his bright black eyes, looking harmless

Fata looked at him and scratched his head, "Can't you understand me?"

Mu Xiaomu shook his head again.

Fata thought for a while, pointed at himself, and said slowly, "Fa—ta—"

Fata is an enthusiastic person. The reason why he is enthusiastic is that he is determined to help this Oriental who does not understand the language.

Mu Xiaomu imitated his mouth shape and pronounced two sounds with great difficulty.

Fata nodded after hearing this, showing a teachable expression.

The water of the Nile River has receded in March, and there are busy farmers all around. They are naked from the upper body, only wrapped in a white cloth around their waists, and their whole bodies are tanned.

In the distance, golden tower-like buildings stand in Hexi. From this side, one is next to the other, solemn and mysterious.

There are no modern people, no jeeps, no familiar scenes, everything is so strange.

It only took Mu Xiaomu half an hour to digest the fact that he had traveled through time.

He entered the city with Fata, although he still didn't trust Fata.

Fata entered the city, pointing at things in the city all the way, then slowed down his mouth, and showed it to Mu Xiaomu.

Mu Xiaomu listened to it once, but didn't remember it at all.

All around were women in long skirts and men wrapped in a white cloth around their waists, some were holding clay pots, some were carrying newly hunted wild birds, and some were talking in a language he did not understand. with.

On the way, Fata asked the way twice, and finally took him to a room and stopped.

There are two doors in the room, painted with brown paint. Mu Xiaomu stood behind Fata, and after a while, a middle-aged woman in a long skirt came to open the door.

The two walked into the house. Mu Xiaomu looked around and found that it was a room like a hall. In the empty room, there was only a blanket on the floor. The blanket was so big that it took up half of the room. A futon, placed sideways.In addition, there is only a large clay pot in the huge house, staying alone in the corner.

Fata sat on the futon and beckoned Mu Xiaomu to sit down too.

After a while, two people walked out from the side door of the outer hall.

The headed one has a square face and deep-set eyes. At first glance, it looks scary.Despite his age, his body is still strong.

Then came out a woman, dressed more luxuriously than the woman who opened the door just now, the neckline of the pure white dress was embroidered with exquisite patterns, her eyes were painted with black and blue eyeliner, she didn't like to smile, she looked cold.

Fata greeted respectfully, and then the two sides began to talk.

Mu Xiaomu couldn't understand what they were talking about, but judging from the looks of both sides, Fata seemed dissatisfied, and the other side also looked resentful.

In the end, the woman said something coldly, and Fata fell silent, her hand on her side was tightened again and again, her handsome face seemed to be enduring something, at last, she turned around and left after finishing her sentence room.

The man and the woman were still sitting, watching the tower go out with cold eyes, as if nothing had happened just now.

Fata was silent all the way, Mu Xiaomu didn't know what to say, even if he said Fata, he couldn't understand, so he walked beside him cautiously.

The weather in Egypt was so hot that it made people hairy, and Mu Xiaomu's face was hot.

Fata found a shady place to sit down, and Mu Xiaomu sat beside him.

Fata's mood has stabilized a lot at the moment, with a look of helplessness on his face, which is quite different from his previous performance.

It seems that there is something really troublesome.

The man and woman should be a couple just now, right?What is the relationship between Nafata and them, and why is their attitude so cold?

Mu Xiaomu thought, everything is unknown, just because of the language barrier.

The wind was mixed with hot air, not only did not make people feel cool, but it was suffocatingly dull.

Mu Xiaomu sighed, and wiped the ground with his feet to draw circles in boredom.
