Chapter 290

"Well, here we are. The oldest one in our village is here. Qiang Qiang, the pyramid."

With a proud face, ishchel said that it was like an oriental guide introducing the Imperial Palace and the Egyptian guide introducing the Khufu pyramid. In this regard, the girl really had the talent to be a guide.

But the buildings in front of us are magnificent, but as pyramids, they are... Too small.

It is only about 26 meters high and the side length is about 45 meters, which is much smaller than the pyramid Lu Chen saw in the college sightseeing area.

"The Mayans were similar to China's tribal system in ancient times. Many tribes would build pyramids. There were many powerful tribes, so they built large ones. They were small here."

She doesn't love popular science, she just wants to explain it to Lu Chen.

"Younger martial sister is erudite. I thought nobles were like brother Caesar and elder martial sister luticia."

Lu Chen praised that brother Caesar was no better than himself in learning. He didn't go to class. Brother Caesar was diligent in class, but he still needed the help of the brothers of the student union during the exam.

Elder martial sister Lucia is said to be an English aristocrat, but in fact... Her grades are also very average.

"Do you need to take pictures? I can take pictures for twenty dollars each."

Ishchel smiled and stretched out his hand. "This is a private scenic spot in our village. You can also sit on it and take pictures. There is no such treatment at the Tulun site."

"Zero."

Lu Chen nodded, zero opened his bag and took out two hundred dollars from it. He didn't even say "don't change".

Ishchel was also very "conscious" that he didn't change the money. Just look at the temperament of the little queen. He was definitely the master of the money.

She looked at the leader Lu Chen with golden eyes. It is said that the top leaders go out without money. She saw it today.

Maybe she can save enough for the tuition of high school by serving these gold owners today.

After paying the money, Lu Chen took the lead to go up the steps of the pyramid, took a few steps, leaned down and pretended to check the ancient Mayan characters.

The reason why he said it was "pretending" was that he couldn't understand it at all

Lu Mingfei hesitated before going up and looked at ishchel. "Is this a cultural relic? It's no problem to trample on it?"

Besides, he heard that the Mayan sacrificial culture is very strict. The pyramid is a sacred prophecy, but in front of him, the girl didn't take her pyramid seriously.

"Hey, hey..."

Ishchel smiled awkwardly. "In fact, it's nothing. I ran up when I was a child... Not to mention this, in fact, we usually don't let outsiders come here. Take photos while mother-in-law Keya didn't wake up."

"I thought the Mayans were very religious."

Lu Mingfei make complaints about Pyramid.

"Faith can't be eaten. In fact, I don't believe in God at all."

Ishchel waved his hand and signaled Lu Mingfei to go quickly.

"Godzilla, I don't understand..."

Painted pear clothes squatted beside Lu Chen, looked at it for a while and said honestly.

Lu Chen was helpless. In order to maintain his tall image, he had to sacrifice his killer mace, took out his mobile phone and enabled the pre installed Norma system for translation.

Zero walked around the pyramid and came to Lu Chen to report in Chinese: "the pyramid is real, very old, and some 'history' on it is right with the Maya 'history' understood by the college."

The "history" mentioned by zero is also a prophecy. Although the pyramid is small, it has a clear record of major events, even including the disappearance of the fifth solar period.

This pyramid is meaningful for the secret party to further understand the Dragon nationality. It is indeed the product of the influence of the dragon culture. Then the identity of these Maya people is intriguing.

There is no owner of blood following net among them, so it is impossible to judge which people are mixed race. After all, the mixed race with lower descent looks like ordinary people before awakening.

And hybrids are usually better. According to ishchel, since 1975, many people have left the village after making money.

Lu Chen took the other students down the pyramid, frowning slightly.

"Elder martial brother Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Mingfei wondered. It's a good thing that they found the Dragon relics. The investigation has made progress.

However, when he looked around, except that zero was still expressionless and painted pear clothes took a flashlight, the other students looked a little heavy.

People always follow the crowd. Lu Mingfei feels like he's stupid. Everyone seems to have noticed something, but he didn't find it.

Finally, there was no opening for Lu Mingfei, "there was no pyramid before."

Lu Mingfei was stunned. There is no pyramid!?

What do you mean no?

Such a big thing can't be built in a few days. Let's see?

Besides, the pyramid does look very old. Don't you just say it's true?

Lu Chen looked at Lu Mingfei. "You should carefully read the mission information given by Norma."

"Guys, don't you take pictures? It's still too dark. You can come tomorrow. You won't charge again."

Ishchel was a little confused. These people ran up and walked around and came down without taking pictures. After coming down, they were communicating in obscure Chinese, which made her very stressed.

It's not that I went up and looked. I'm not satisfied. I want a refund!?

"It's all right. We'll come back during the day. In fact, we haven't found a good place to live. We also want to experience the folk customs of the Maya. Can we stay in your village for one night?"

Lu Chen asked. Since there were no effective clues elsewhere, they stayed in person to see if something would happen at night.

To the surprise of several people, ishchel, a financial fan, shook her head, "I can't make a decision. I have to get the permission of mother-in-law Keya."

Looking at these rich brothers and sisters, she wondered if the archaeological spirit of college students is so rigorous now. You know, the living conditions in the village are very poor, far worse than the hotels in the city.

To experience folk customs? So do you want to stay for one night

"Of course we won't live in vain. This time, the archaeological funds for the look of the college are very sufficient. How about paying you $10000 for each night of the eight of us?"

Lu Chen discussed.

The little girl who had not yet entered the WTO was restrained, "one, one, ten thousand dollars?"

How many days does she have to work hard to save $10000?

As long as these people stay one night, they can have 10000, which is enough for her three-year tuition!

If you let her sleep a few more nights, she can save enough money for college!

"Well... Come with me and see mother-in-law Keya to see if she will agree."

Ishchel hesitated and prayed in her heart that mother Keya would not be old-fashioned today. Her school money was in front of her.

Ancient stone candlesticks with glass covers are combed in the village. These candlesticks are lit every night to guide people.

But Lu Mingfei thought it would be good if they had flashlights. It's just that these candlesticks don't light up. After lighting up, he feels more strange and secluded.

Follow ishchel to the largest wooden house at the end of the village, which looks the oldest.

"Mother Keya, are you still sleeping?"

Isichel knocked on the door and shouted loudly. The strong penetration of the voice made Lu Mingfei cover his ears and said in his heart that no wonder he had a good voice.

"Little chuck, come in."

An old voice came from the house in Mayan language. Ishchel pushed the door open. Everyone in the village didn't lock the door very much. At the same time, he turned back and said to others: "mother Keya said we could go in and turn off the flashlight first. Mother Keya didn't like it."

Thinking that the girl named zero seemed to understand Maya, he explained, "chuck is my nickname."

Zero looked at ishchel thoughtfully, but they had entered the room and were not suitable for communication.

Ishchel lit candles in the room. In fact, there was electricity and network in the village. Some villagers had televisions and computers at home. She also had a mobile phone, but mother-in-law Keya was very traditional and never used these modern things in her own residence.

The candlestick in the village was also reserved under the advice of mother-in-law Keya, otherwise they could change into street lamps.

In the candlelight, the people saw the interior of the room. The walls were engraved with ancient Mayan, hung with various cloth strips, and placed various strange wooden carvings on several shelves, which looked terrible in the dark atmosphere.

Sitting on the mat in the center of the house is an old woman. Her body shrinks because of old age. Her face is full of wrinkles and age spots. She looks at least 80 years old.

"Little chuck, who are they?"

Mother-in-law Keya said slowly, as if it took a lot of effort to speak.

"Grandma, they came here for archaeology. They said they wanted to experience the traditional Mayan culture and wanted to stay here for one night."

Ishchel knelt beside mother-in-law Koya and took each other's cold hands.

"Stay one night?"

Mother Keya looked at the young people in the room. There were eight people. She said a lot.

Ishchel looked forward to mother-in-law Keya and hoped that the other party would agree.

"No."

But the old and cold voice mercilessly shattered ishchel's hope. Mother Keya's deep concave eyes looked at some seeping people. She looked at Lu Chen in the front: "outsiders are not accepted here. Go to live in the city."

"Mother-in-law, they are here for archaeology. They pay for accommodation."

Ishchel whispered in mother Koya's ear.

"Give me the money?"

Mother Keya waved her hand, "how much can I give?"

Ishchel lay down in mother-in-law Koya's ear and whispered, "ten thousand dollars a day."

Lu Mingfei looked at the seeping old woman nervously, wondering whether the other party would agree, if not

Oh, he's not worried that they will be driven away. He's a little worried about the old woman.

Elder martial brother Lu... He doesn't look like a good man who always talks peacefully.

Mother Keya raised her hand and hit ishchel on the head with a sharp voice. "Money, money, you know money! Ten thousand dollars will hook your soul away!?"

Mother Keya seemed to be in a hurry. She stood up trembling on crutches and pointed to ishchel, "you know, this is the rule of the village, the rule!"

Ishchel was trained to bow his head and waichubaba stood aside.

Mother-in-law Keya looked up at the foreigners who were whispering in Chinese, changed her less fluent English and said, "our village has never accepted outsiders for accommodation for thousands of years. This is a rule we haven't broken for thousands of years. The primitive faith of the Maya people!"

Lu Chen looked at Keya's mother-in-law and wondered whether to change a way of negotiation.

But at this time, the crutches in the hands of mother-in-law Keya bumped on the ground and walked to Lu Chen, "... You have to pay more!"

Lu Chen:

Isichel was also stunned. She had thought that when mother-in-law Keya cheated those tourists to buy curse wood carvings, she said Lu Chen would pay a high price for accommodation. As a result, mother-in-law Keya disagreed and wondered.

I waited for her here, Gao!

Mother-in-law, you are still tall!

I'm small.

"Zero."

Lu Chen didn't expect such a dramatic reversal, but he can solve the problem with money. Naturally, he doesn't want to conflict with the Maya, which is not conducive to their subsequent search for clues.

She took out a stack of banknotes from her pocket, about 15000 dollars, and she didn't check them carefully.

Mother Keya's old eyes saw the stacks of banknotes in the small bags by candlelight, which burst out the light of young people's general vitality, and her old face smiled into a chrysanthemum.

After receiving the money, his attitude turned 180 degrees, "ah, the young people are so forthright, ishchel, go and arrange two rooms for them, just the two big ones next door. Clean them. Don't neglect the guests."

"OK, I'll go right away."

Isichel ran out happily and even forgot to say hello to Lu Chen.

Mother Keya looked at the figure of ishchel running out and sighed in her heart. Silly girl, do you think it's easy to go to school and live in the city? You should save more money.

She took back her eyes and looked at the young people again. "Old woman, there's nothing to entertain here. Let's sit down first."

With that, she took down a stack of cushions from one side of the crenel, and a new female student who was close to her took it over wisely and spread it out to everyone.

"Zero, why don't you sit?"

Lu Mingfei whispered that everyone sat down and stood in front of the cushion.

When Lu Mingfei told him, zero sat down with some hesitation.

"The visitor is a guest. The old lady doesn't have any good things here. She's just good at divination. Would you like to try?"

Mother Keya smiled, but the smile was gloomy and terrible against the candlelight.

Lu Mingfei felt that the other party was like an old witch in a fairy tale. He hesitated and asked, "do you want money?"

"Of course not. Divination is a small game. The guests are so rich. Of course, I won't take any more money. Little chuck goes to prepare dinner and can be used as entertainment before dinner."

Mother Keya explained, took a wooden basin from behind, filled with corn seeds, looked at the girls and whispered, "you can predict the future."

The freshmen looked at Lu Chen one after another. They thought it was a task process and asked the executive officer for any behavior.

Seeing Lu Chen nodding, a girl named grace acted. She has always been curious about Mayan divination.

It's better to say that every girl is interested in this kind of thing.
