People who came to Egypt had to visit the pyramids, but visiting the pyramids did not necessarily mean entering the pyramids. One reason was that the number of tickets was limited, and the other was that it was said that the experience of entering the pyramids was not very good, so many people chose not to spend the money. Even the Chinese-speaking tour guides clearly told tourists that if they entered the pyramids, they would regret it for an hour; if they did not enter the pyramids, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.
Today's situation was special. Zhang Zian made all the elfins that had not been put into his phone invisible. Otherwise, cats and dogs would definitely not be able to enter the scenic area, which would add a lot of trouble.
"Quack! It's so hot! "Richard said weakly." You idiot, why haven't you gone in yet? Do you want to stand outside and get warm? "
The sun was rising higher and higher, and the sunlight was getting stronger. Standing on the wasteland with almost no shelter, there was no shade to be seen.
Richard jumped repeatedly on Zhang Zian's left and right shoulders, but the direct sunlight caused it to be exposed to the sun no matter where it jumped. It could only alternately stretch out both sides of its wings to cover its head, but the temperature of its wings quickly rose to an unbearable level.
Zhang Zian wore a baseball cap and sunglasses. Although he also felt very hot, he could still tolerate it.
"Don't worry." He looked at the time. "Wait a little longer."
"Wait for what?" Richard was almost wilting. "Do you want to wait for me to die from the heat? Take off your baseball cap and put it on me! Or … Old Time Tea! Let me borrow your bamboo hat! "
Famous's tongue was long, and it kept panting to release the heat that had accumulated in its body. Although Galaxy did not want to enter the pyramids, Famous wanted to enter early. After all, it did not have to endure the sun.
It glanced at Zhang Zian. It didn't quite understand why he was waiting here.
The most comfortable of the elfins was Old Time Tea, who was wearing a long gown and a bamboo hat, but it could not bear to see the other elfins being tortured under the hot sun. It asked, "Zian, what are you waiting for?"
Zhang Zian wiped his sweat and explained, "I just thought about it. Since the tickets are limited to 300 a day, that is, after these 300 people enter, they will no longer be sold."
This explanation did not answer the elves' doubts.
He raised his hand and pointed at the entrance of the robber's hole, letting the elfins take a closer look. The tourists who had bought the tickets had to lower their heads and bend their waists as they lined up to enter the hole. Especially the tall Western tourists, they couldn't just lower their heads and bend their waists. They had to bend their knees, which was uncomfortable to look at, so they might as well crawl on all fours.
"Gah … Are you worried that the person behind you will explode your a * s?" Richard's thoughts went astray again, but it also made him more spirited.
Zhang Zian further explained, "I was thinking that if I go in like this, there will be a lot of pushing and shoving. I definitely won't be able to take a good look. Why don't I wait for the other 299 people to finish before I go in? Wouldn't that be equivalent to booking the whole place? You can look at it however you want. "
The elves came to a sudden realization. In theory, there was no problem with this logic.
"Gah … Okay, you idiot, you've learned to be smart, but I don't want to accompany you. Quickly take me back into the phone. If I continue to be exposed to the sun, I'll become a specimen …" Richard stood on his shoulder, shaking.
Zhang Zian said with a straight face, "That won't do. I heard that the air in the pyramid is very bad. I was going to hold your foot and let you explore the way in front. In the tomb robber novels, in order to prevent people from unknowingly suffocating to death in the tomb, they would use a few sparrows or pigeons in a cage to test the air quality. If the sparrows or pigeons suddenly died and caught a cold, it meant that they couldn't go any further … Although we don't have sparrows or pigeons here, don't we have you?"
It was obviously very hot, but Richard was so shocked that he was shivering. "Gah! Are you a demon? Is this why you brought me to Egypt? You've secretly arranged everything for me? "
Jokes aside, after Zhang Zian finished speaking, he took out a white cloth from his pocket and draped it over his head like the locals did. He covered his head and shoulders, covering Richard as well. If he went to a bank in China with this outfit, he would probably be shot on the spot.
"Don't I look like the oil prince of the United Arab Emirates? I'm only missing a black headband, "he said happily.
Richard, whose temperature had dropped, regained his vitality. "Gah gah! I'm alive again! You idiot, there are still three American presidents between you and the oil prince of the United Arab Emirates! "
In the eyes of outsiders, Arab men who always wore white robes must be very hot, but when they really stood under the scorching sun with a temperature of more than 40 degrees, the white robes could not only isolate the sun, but they also did not absorb heat like dark clothes. When the wind rose, the wind blew up the corners of the robes. The wind in the horizontal direction was caught by the robes and blown downward, causing the airflow on the surface of the body to accelerate. When the wind stopped, the process of the robes falling could also bring some additional cool air.
"Let's go. Let's get closer. Maybe there will be some shade on the side of the boulder," Zhang Zian said, pointing to the west side of the pyramid.
It was the off-season for tourism, and the weather was hot. There were not many tourists in the scenic area, and the locals were not very motivated. They greeted Zhang Zian a few times, but seeing that he was ignoring them, they did not continue to harass him. However, compared to the peddlers in domestic scenic areas, they were still kind and righteous. At the end, they would say, "Welcome to Egypt."
The boulders at the base of the pyramids were taller than ordinary people. Thousands of years of wind and sun, as well as continuous wars and turmoil, had caused the edges of many boulders to be weathered and cracked. Sometimes, even a person could squeeze in between two adjacent boulders.
There was indeed a place to rest between the boulders at the base of the pyramid on the west side. The elfins found their own places to rest, shrinking into the cracks to avoid the sun.
Even though it was so hot, there were still tourists who were very interested in climbing the pyramid, but it was often difficult to move forward after climbing six or seven boulders.
Zhang Zian could not rest in the shade. Even as he spoke, he stared at the entrance of the thief's cave, silently calculating how many people had gone in and how many had come out. The inside of the pyramid was not only limited to the number of tourists, but there was also a time limit. If they did not enter before the door closed, the tickets would be invalid.
However, it was a little strange. He had been observing for more than half an hour. Logically speaking, there were not many places to visit in the pyramid. If they walked quickly, they could finish in ten minutes. Even if they dragged it out, they could come out in half an hour. However, no matter how he counted, there were about 60 people who had gone in during this time, but only about 50 people had come out. Excluding the people who were walking out, the number did not seem to add up.
Where did the rest of the people go?
Seeing that the closing time was getting closer and fewer tourists were coming out of the pyramid, he decided that he could not wait any longer. He asked Xinghai to wait outside for a while and called the other elfins to enter the pyramid together.
