"Women?"
Speaking of women, Zhang Zian immediately perked up, but he did not immediately understand the meaning of Richard's words, because he had clearly seen women in Cleopatra's bathtub before.
Or … Richard had already seen through everything, and the few European female tourists he had seen were actually big men in women's clothing?
Richard nodded solemnly and added, "You idiot, don't think about it the wrong way! I am referring to local adult women. Foreign female tourists and local girls do not count! "
If that was the case …
Zhang Zian thought about it carefully. He hadn't noticed it when he had hurried past yesterday, but it seemed that he had not seen any local adult women along the way. The market was bustling with men, whether they were setting up stalls or buying things.
"What's so strange about that? This is almost the most conservative place in Egypt. Local women should cover themselves from head to toe. Even if you see them, you won't be able to see what they look like. Besides, how can such a short road be a sample? "he said disapprovingly, thinking that it wanted to see what the local women looked like.
"You idiot, you still don't understand what I mean!" Richard swung its wings and slapped him on the head. "Of course I have considered this situation, but even so, the number of women is too small. Most of them are men! Especially a strong young man! "
Zhang Zian thought about it again. It did seem to be the case. In places without birth control, the gender ratio should be about the same. Women in robes could often be seen walking on the streets of other cities in Egypt. Even if the local women here did not like to show their faces, they had to go out in many cases. They could not be like the rich ladies of ancient China who did not go out at all.
Although he had only walked around the town for a short while, he could infer that the number of men here was indeed higher than the number of women.
"What are you trying to say? Even if there are more men than women here, what's the problem? "he asked.
Richard grinned meaningfully. "It's not just about the number. Just now, beside Cleopatra's bathing pool, when you peeked at the female tourists with shifty eyes, I was staring at a few strong young men. Some of them were locals, and some of them were foreigners. Judging from their eyes, words, and body movements … their relationship seems to be unusual!"
Zhang Zian was speechless.
This "unusual" seemed to be very thought-provoking.
He refused to think in the direction that Richard was leading him to. Instead, he questioned, "Are you mistaken?"
"Absolutely not. You idiot, you have to believe my intuition! My intuition has always been very accurate! "Richard said confidently.
"Is it because your intuition is very accurate in 'that' aspect? Also, why do you always say the word 'strong'? "Zhang Zian complained.
"Quack! You idiot, you didn't notice that one of the manly guys even smiled at you! "Richard shouted excitedly.
Zhang Zian was speechless. Fortunately, I didn't notice.
He could vaguely guess what Richard was trying to say.
A town with more men than women, a few young lads with an unusual relationship … All of these were seen on the streets. Although they couldn't be reliable samples due to the lack of time, could there really be such a coincidence?
He looked back at one of the few things left in the ruins of the Oracle Temple, the tall spire, shrouded in the sunset.
There had always been rumors that the famous Alexander the Great was actually bisexual. This was actually quite normal in ancient Europe. In fact, in modern times, it was the same. People had a relatively free choice in their sexual orientation.
Alexander's close comrade, Hephaestion, was also his lover. Alexander had a very coquettish way of doing things. When he married his second wife, he conveniently betrothed the sister of his first wife to Hephaestion. It could be considered a jaw-dropping relationship …
When Alexander reached the Siwa Oasis after many dangers, people did not know how he made the priests of the Amon Temple trust a foreigner, but there was no doubt that he succeeded.
Alexander died young. Before he died, it was said that he left a surprising last wish. He did not ask for his body to be transported back to his hometown for burial. He did not ask to be buried in the port city that was named after him. Instead, he asked to be buried in the Siwa Oasis.
Until now, some archaeologists still firmly believed that the tomb of Alexander the Great was quietly located in a corner of the Siwa Oasis, waiting for people to discover it.
This series of thought-provoking history overlapped with the current reality that spanned thousands of years. It made Zhang Zian understand that Richard's question was not groundless. There was a deep internal reason why there were more men than women here.
"Quack! Do you understand? I was right. You, the chosen one, are very sharp when it comes to this issue! "It patted his head with its wings approvingly.
"I don't understand, and I'm not sharp!" He pushed its wings aside, not interested in discussing this issue with it.
Richard smiled mischievously. "When we checked into the hotel just now, you probably didn't notice that there was a European man on the same floor as us. He met you face to face, and he looked quite handsome. It seems like he's interested in you!"
Zhang Zian was speechless.
It was difficult for him to determine whether Richard's words were true or not. Due to the unique customs of this place, it was obvious that there would be many foreign men looking for … encounters? The Europeans, who were in a favorable position, frequently visited this place.
"Quack! I advise you to lock the door when you go to bed tonight to prevent a night attack. Also, if you do not want to be unable to get out of bed tomorrow, consider applying cooling oil to your butt! Protect the smile of the chrysanthemum! "
After going around in a super big circle, Richard finally said what it wanted to say the most. Obviously, it was giving him a taste of his own medicine in retaliation for the threat in the car. Before he could react and resort to force, it flapped its wings and flew away from the dangerous place first.
Zhang Zian did not care about dealing with it for the time being. Instead, he carefully recalled whether there was really such a man on the same floor as him.
It seemed like there was, but it also seemed like there wasn't.
Forget it, whatever. In short, I have to lock the door tonight!
There was nothing to see in the ruins. The spire could be climbed, but there was a certain degree of danger. Besides, there was no point in climbing it. It was better to find an empty spring before the sky turned completely dark and let Sihwa out.
He called the elfins and suggested that they leave.
When he was talking to Richard, the other elfins wandered freely among the ruins. At this time, they returned to his side. He looked carefully, but did not see Fina.
Where did Fina go?
