Looking at the confident and profound young man in front of him, Hetep's eyes darkened.
"Young man, isn't this very rude of you?"
At this time, Tuvia's right hand was pressed against the door panel, preventing the other party from closing the door.
Tuvia sneered, "I have no other intention, I just want to buy some jute from you. I can pay double the price. As long as you make this deal with me, I will leave immediately."
Hetap frowned, became helpless and silent for a while, then opened the door again and said, "Come in."
He felt from the other person's eyes that if he insisted not to let him in, the young man in front of him would remain in a stalemate with him to the end.
Watching the strange old man in front of him reopen the door, Tuvia walked in.
She swept towards the courtyard and saw a neat row of houses made of white stone bricks, with many intricately carved patterns on them.
The courtyard is clean and tidy. There are several palm trees growing near the door, and their large green leaves serve as natural parasols for the entire courtyard.
So when she came in, she felt a bit of coolness, which made her feel much more comfortable after running around all morning.
"Come in." Hetep glanced at Tuvia and walked in first.
Tuvia looked at his back, thinking about the strange behavior of the old man, and considering whether to follow him in.
It seemed that everyone in this small town was very welcoming to foreign guests. But this old man didn't seem to welcome her visit.
I remembered what the young woman said before coming here, "Elder Ahena has a bit of a weird temper, but he is very kind."
Tuvia didn't think much and followed him into the house. After entering, the door closed automatically.
Hearing a creaking sound behind her, Tuvia turned around suddenly, but there was nothing behind her.
Her heart trembled, and she looked around.
After the door was closed, the room became completely dark. Through the light from the crack in the door, she could vaguely see the general environment around her.
There seems to be a stone statue enshrined at the entrance, and some complicated pictures can be vaguely seen on the wall next to it.
At this time, Hotep lit an oil lamp, and with the help of the weak oil lamp, she finally saw the overall layout of the place clearly.
"Why don't you open the doors and windows?"
She looked towards the window. There were two square windows covered with black oilcloth.
Tuvia found it difficult to understand the old man's strange behavior.
Hotep put the kerosene lamp in his hand on the table, then he sat on the chair next to him and gave Tuvia a cold look.
"Someone here doesn't like the sunshine outside."
His voice was hoarse and dark, and his speaking rhythm was very slow, so in such an atmosphere, it seemed that this tone would make people feel creepy.
Tuvia was no exception. When she heard that there were other people here, she looked around curiously.
But after a careful inspection, she didn't find the shadow of the third person here.
The room they were in should be the house where the old man lived. It was a 20-square-meter house with no other bedrooms. A simple bed was placed in the corner.
The furnishings in the house are very simple and can be seen at a glance. If it were not for the huge statue at the entrance, the house would look very empty.
Tuvia sneered in her heart, the strange feeling just now swept away. For her, nothing could scare away her curiosity.
She walked to sit opposite Hetep and spoke with a smile. But her eyes did not leave Hetep's eyes.
"Oh? Since there is another person here, why don't you invite him to come out and sit down. I also hope to say hello to him."
Looking at the still calm young man in front of him, Hotep's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness.
"Are you really a business traveler passing by?"
The momentum and courage revealed in the young man in front of him definitely cannot be that of a simple businessman.
"Otherwise?" Tuvia asked.
She had a strong hunch that the old man in front of her must have some secret. Therefore, in order to prevent strangers from coming in, he deliberately made things difficult. He even used such weird but frightening words to make the people who came here leave automatically.
"If it's a business trip, then I can tell you. There is nothing here you are looking for, you can leave." He coldly issued an order to expel the guest.
Tuvia completely ignored his words to drive her away. She would never back down until the matter was completed.
"I have been walking here for most of the day in search of it. Now that you have let me in, please let me drink some water and rest for a while."
Looking at the young man with cunning eyes in front of him, Hetep was helpless.
"Okay, just wait, I'll bring you a bowl of water."
With that said, he got up and walked out.
Tuvia took advantage of the opportunity to stand up and walked to the stone statue to observe carefully.
Holding a kerosene lamp in his hand, he looked at the stone statue in front of him. It was a statue dedicated to the sun god Carmen.
Tuvia's eyes paused. The statue here made Tuvia feel that something was wrong.
Their expressions were still solemn and solemn, and their eyes were looking into the distance. It seemed that the change in the entire face was not obvious, but Tuvia still noticed a slight difference.
right!
She clearly remembered when she was in the Temple of Amun. The sun god's face was facing the east, and his eyes were facing the direction of the rising sun, but the statue of Kamun in the house was facing the west.
Rise in the east and set in the west?
These four words suddenly popped into Tuvia's mind. The sun rises from the east and sets from the west. Is there any connection between them?
Then she looked towards Carmon's neck, but nothing appeared as she expected. Her heart was covered by a cloud of doubt.
Could it be said that the half-crescent-shaped jade pendant is only found in the Temple of Amon?
Then she picked up the kerosene lamp in her hand and looked at the wall. When she saw clearly the smallest pattern on it, she became excited.
Oh my gosh!
What did she see?
Tuvia was completely shocked by the murals in front of her. If it were in the past world, these things would not seem bizarre, but this is Egypt full of ancient myths.
The four ancient civilizations in the world that were completely buried by the rolling yellow sand------Ancient Egypt!
In a place like this, I saw such a familiar picture, a helicopter-like pattern. What does this mean?
At present, Tuvia feels a little doubt about her situation, as if the palm of fate has waved a door full of strange colors to her, allowing her to keep exploring deeper.
If she hadn't seen Grandma Feitai picking wild vegetables yesterday, and if she hadn't gone to help for the first time, how could she have discovered Capsule jute and become extremely interested in this toxin-containing plant.
Finally, she searched all the way and came to the most respected old man with the surname Ehena in the town. Once again, she found a picture that she could not explain but was very familiar to.
