"Can you tell me more specifically?" Chen Zhi frowned and asked Ateba.
"I don't know the specifics~~" Ateba shook his head,
"I just heard from those businessmen that they once discovered two large sand pits in the desert, which were exposed by the wind and sand. There were many children's corpses in them, in pieces, being eaten by vultures. Most of the children
The eyeballs are no longer there, and some children still have their body temperature. They were probably thrown in while they were still breathing. It’s so tragic~~~"
After Chen Zhi heard these words, he felt very calm. If it were him two years ago, these words would definitely make him feel uncomfortable and even angry. But now, I don’t know when, it is difficult for Chen Zhi to feel comfortable again.
No matter how ripples are caused, even if I hear such cruel and inhumane things, my heart is still very calm, as cold as ice~~"
"Why does that team want children?" Chen Zhi continued to ask Ateba.
"Who knows?" Ateba sneered and continued to pour himself wine.
"Maybe they are used as slaves, maybe they are used for something more terrifying. No matter what, the fate of these children is very tragic~~"
"So many children have been lost. Don't their parents look for them? Does the government not care?" Chen Zhi asked.
"hehe……",
Atba sneered,
"Chen! You really don't understand Egypt. How can the government care about such trivial matters? Moreover, these children were sold by their parents. They have been doomed to this fate since they were born."
"Is there still such a thing in Egypt now..." After hearing Ateba's words, Chen Zhi couldn't help but raise his head.
"Of course, and it happens all the time!",
Ateba banged the table with the bottom of his wine glass and said angrily,
"Chen, don't believe the description of Egypt on TV. The real Egypt is not that beautiful. Many Egyptians have more than a dozen children in their families who cannot feed them at all. Girls are married off early in exchange for a fortune, and some poor ones
Families, children are sold when they are born. Their parents never even shed a tear. Even if the children are sent to be fed to dogs, they don’t care. This is the consequence of poverty, because there are many hungry people in this country every year.
And for people who die, no one cares about these things~~~~".
After Ateba took a sip of wine, he stared at Chen Zhi for a while, and finally asked, "Chen! How old is your lost child?"
"Two years old." Chen Zhi did not hide anything and answered his question directly.
"Two years old? Too young~~" Ateba shook his head,
"Disciples of God generally don't buy such a young child. If he is still alive, it can be redeemed for five times the price, but if he is already..."
After Ateba finished speaking, he drank the red wine in his hand, "Hey~~~, I hope your Asian gods will bless him! Poor child!"
"Don't you Egyptians never drink wine?",
For some reason, Chen Zhi had a good impression of this Egyptian. He picked up the wine glass, put it to his mouth and tasted a little. The wine tasted very sweet. At this time, he heard Abate laughing and saying,
"Haha~~~, those Arabs who believe in Islam are the ones who quit drinking...not us Egyptians. We Egyptians have loved wine for thousands of years. Good wine can relieve us from pain~~~",
After Ateba finished speaking, he picked up a large blue-silver wine jug and filled it with wine for Chen Zhi. Alcohol can relax people. Ateba is no longer as reserved as before.
"Chen! The world outside the desert is beautiful...",
Atba looked at the desert outside the window with reddish eyes and said softly,
"When I was a soldier, I often heard them say that in the outside world, there is no yellow sand in the air, men don't have to carry guns when they go out, girls can study like men, there is no need to negotiate the price when marrying a daughter, and there are laws for everything.
The verdict is that there are no dirty things floating in the water, there is always a cool breeze, and the children live happily~~~".
"Almost~~",
After hearing what Atba said, Chen Zhi was touched and nodded naturally. For some reason, Atba reminded him of his father, the man who loved him in the wrong way.
"After you find your son, are you going to take them out of the country immediately?" Chen Zhi raised his glass and took a sip, and asked softly.
"Yes! You must leave here, you must leave here",
Atba said twice in a firm tone,
"I know my son well. He is very much like me. He has a heart like an eagle and doesn't like to be restrained. He also hates the bad customs here and likes to fly everywhere.
I promised him when he left that I would definitely rescue him. I have saved some money over the years. After I rescue him, I will take his brother and sister to Europe so that they can go to school like Western children.
Live a civilized life..."
"May your wish come true~~" Chen Zhi slightly raised his wine glass to express his blessing.
Then the two fell into silence again, just drinking and eating dried meat.
"Damn it! Chengzi, you are not authentic. You have been secretly drinking here for a long time..." Fatty's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Fat Wei's body was covered in sand, as if he had rolled in the sand. He was holding a native Egyptian cat in his hand, and hurriedly walked into the room, sat down next to Chen Zhi, and put the dirt in his hands.
The cat is close to Chen Zhi’s face,
"How about it? Can you take a look at this thing? You asked me to go out to look for wild cats. I have searched all over the world and only found this thing. Although it looks quite ugly, if you look closely, it can be regarded as a cat...
…”
Chen Zhi took a closer look and saw that this was the kind of rough-skinned native cat that is common in the Egyptian countryside. This kind of cat has no hair on its body, its gray-white skin is exposed, its two ears stand upright, and its eyes are scary. At first glance,
Like a monster.
Just now, Fat Wei had been writhing in that row of B&B areas. Chen Zhi asked him to catch this unlucky local cat. The local wild cats in Egypt are very ferocious and can run very fast. Fat Wei was caught even though his hands were covered with blood.
, in the end it was Ji Ying who took action and caught one.
"What do you want this cat to do?",
Atba looked at Chen Zhi with some confusion. After all, he is a native here, and he will inevitably have some superstitious concerns. "Cats are sacred animals here. If you catch it, the pharaoh sleeping in the desert will blame him...
…”.
"Be a guide...",
Chen Zhi put down his wine glass and smiled slightly,
"You are responsible for leading us to find the lost oasis, and this cat can lead us to find the mysterious team in the desert..."
"Brother Egypt, why are you worried so much? Just follow us when the time comes. Don't worry! With us protecting you, even if your Pharaoh turns into a big rice dumpling, he won't dare to touch you~~~
",
Fat Wei's English was not good, so he seemed to understand the conversation between Chen Zhi and Ateba, and basically relied on guessing. He threw the local cat into the bag, then reached out to pour himself a glass of wine, and grabbed the dry food on the table.
Eat meat.
Looking at Fat Wei in front of him, Ateba looked at his watch.
"Everyone, it's almost time, let's get ready to go..."
