Just as Allen and Ron stood on the balcony admiring the scenery of the Nile River, they noticed something strange.
The weather outside was so hot, but there was a group of people by the river. They were huddled together under the scorching sun!
"Let's go down and take a look," Allen suggested.
Ron, whose curiosity was piqued, immediately nodded in agreement.
They walked to the riverside. It turned out that the group of people were gathered around a large sandpit.
An Egyptian in a white robe and a red hat was standing next to the sandpit, gesturing.
He raised his voice and gave orders. His face was red and dripping with sweat. It looked like he was angry about something.
Several barefoot young men stood beside him with shovels and pickaxes in their hands.
"I told you, I told you long ago. You can't come to the river alone at night! Why didn't you listen? You didn't dare to tell us. Instead, you buried the body in the sandpit! Stupid! "the white-robed man said as he pointed at the sandpit.
Allen and Ron looked at the sandpit. Ron couldn't help but exclaim. A rotten animal carcass was dug out, and only a small part of it was buried underground.
"What is this?" Ron asked Allen quietly.
Allen endured the discomfort in his heart and sized it up. He confirmed, "This is a donkey!"
One of the main means of transportation for the Egyptians was a donkey.
"How did it die here?" Ron asked again.
"Let's hear what they have to say." Allen obviously didn't know!
People rushed over from the direction of the village in twos and threes. There were even more people around the sandpit, standing in a dense mass.
This seriously affected the excavation work, especially the children who were digging around.
In the crowd, the white-robed man raised his voice. "Back off! Back off! "
He seemed to have a lot of prestige in the group. Everyone backed off in confidence.
"Nasser, what happened?" someone in the crowd asked.
"It's a water monster. The Nile River's water monster has appeared again! This is the evidence. "Nasser pointed at the corpse in the sandpit and shouted.
"The stupid Hassan encountered a water monster. Fortunately, he escaped, but the price was that he lost his donkey!"
Nassir then pointed to a small, dark-skinned man who was holding a shovel.
"He actually hid the truth about the reappearance of the water monster because he was afraid of being taboo to the villagers! If Saleh had not discovered it, who knows how many more people would have been killed! "Nasser was furious.
Hassan stood aside, crestfallen.
"Let me emphasize again, try not to go to the lakeside at night! Be careful! "Nasser emphasized again.
The people who knew the truth left one after another, leaving only the first few people. They continued to deal with the rotting donkey in the sand pit.
"Is it really a water monster?" Ron was curious.
"I'm not sure. After all, it decays too quickly," Allen replied.
There was a native in the village who was very business-minded.
Seeing so many people gathered together and pushing beverage carts out to sell their wares, he was shocked.
Allen and Ron also went over. It turned out to be watermelon juice, apple juice, and some beer.
Allen bought some of everything and carried the beer back to the villa with Ron.
These drinks were very popular. Mr. Weasley also conjured a lot of ice cubes to keep the drinks cold.
Allen and Ron told everyone what had just happened at the lakeside.
"Coward, you're a wizard. What's there to be afraid of?" George teased Ron.
"Of course I'm not afraid. I'm just reminding everyone to be careful," Ron defended himself.
The Weasley brothers laughed and ran away.
"In any case, try not to go out at night," Mr. Weasley said, staring at the twins until they nodded.
In the evening, Ron and Allen talked about what they knew about the pyramids, the origins of the mummies, and other issues.
In fact, it was Allen who was talking. Ron listened and asked questions from time to time.
"Osiris's body was broken into fourteen pieces, but he can still be resurrected?" Ron asked in disbelief.
"That's nothing. Some people's bodies are completely gone, and their souls are broken into seven or eight pieces. They're also looking for a chance to be resurrected." Allen was very calm as he thought of the mysterious man.
Just then, Allen heard footsteps at the door.
Under the bright moonlight, Allen saw the doorknob turn. Someone was opening the door.
Allen jumped up and pointed his wand at the door.
The doorknob turned. The door creaked open. Two tall, blurry figures stood in the doorway.
Ron was startled.
When the two figures staggered into the room, Allen saw them clearly. He couldn't help but hold his breath.
Even in the dim light, he could see what it was. "It's a mummy!"
In the haze, the mummy staggered into the living room. His two arms stretched forward as if he wanted to catch Ron.
Ron's mouth was wide open. He looked like he wanted to scream, but no sound came out.
Allen took out his wand and pointed it at the mummy. Just as he was about to cast a spell, the mummy made a familiar sound.
"Don't attack, it's us!" It was George and Fred!
Ron angrily threw the pillow on the bed. It hit George's bandaged chest and bounced off.
Fred and George burst into laughter. Obviously, they thought it was funny.
"Didn't you say you're not a coward?" George's words provoked Ron.
"I'm not a coward! It's just that your disguises are too scary! "Ron was furious. He didn't think it was funny at all!
"I said he'd be scared!" Fred said to George.
"I knew it was you. I recognized you as soon as you came in!" Ron defended himself.
"You should have seen your expression at that time. You looked scared!" George said loudly and began to laugh again.
Ron grumbled, looking very unhappy.
"Okay, don't be like a little girl. Get up and help us tear these things off, "Fred said to Ron.
Allen pointed with his wand. The bandages on their bodies fell off and rolled themselves into a ball.
"Ron, you said you're not a coward. Do you dare to walk by the river?" George rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.
"Just you wait!" Ron stood up angrily.
Allen hurriedly followed behind. Something did happen by the river. It was too dangerous for Ron to go by himself.
The Nile River was extremely quiet at night, but in Ron's opinion, this silence hid layers of danger. He had to be ready.
"Allen, look!" Ron suddenly pointed to the middle of the river.
