Chapter 900 Adventure and Vacation

"Scientific expedition to Greenland?" Han Lu frowned, "It seems to have some impression. I remember she mentioned it very early on, saying that it seemed that locals discovered a ruins or something on Greenland. It is said that There are some murals related to primitive worship.

"That guy reported it to the authorities, which caused a big stir at the time. Many famous scholars were very interested in it, so they organized two scientific expedition teams and went to the area mentioned by the locals twice. We went looking for the ruins, but found nothing in the end. After that, everyone began to accuse the local who claimed to have discovered the ruins, thinking that he was just making up a story. Although the locals still insisted that they were not lying, they could not find enough evidence. , and gradually this matter fell into disuse, but your mother has always been interested in it. She felt that judging from the guy’s description, that ruin was probably related to the subsequent Mesopotamian mythology and Kailash. It is related to the origins of Ertian mythology and Egyptian mythology.”

Zhang Heng looked a little surprised when he heard this, "Why can't I find these things online?"

"Oh, this news was almost seventy or eighty years ago. Because it was a big shame to the archaeological community at that time, it was only published in some local newspapers. Xiaoxia seems to be an old researcher at the British Library. She found out in the newspaper what paper she was writing at the time. Although the news had little to do with her research at the time, she had never forgotten it.

"Later, we both graduated and were busy with our own affairs. At first, Xiaoxia and I kept in touch by phone, but later as our work became more and more busy, we changed to email, and we usually chatted about the recent past. What happened around me, and then one day Xiaoxia suddenly told me that she and your father met a man named Taimu in some salon. He ran a travel agency. He also liked adventure and formed an expedition team of his own. , just want to go deep into the uninhabited land of Greenland.

"Xiaoxia told him about the report from more than seventy years ago. Taim was very interested and decided to invite your parents to join the expedition. I persuaded Xiaoxia at the time that she should not accept the invitation so quickly. I It’s not just the dangers brought about by the harsh environment, but also a group of strangers she didn’t know when she met them for the first time. In the blink of an eye, she and they are about to enter a desolate and uninhabited area for an adventure. .”

"But Xiaoxia told me that the opportunity is rare, and your father will also go together, but your mother," Han Lu put down the water glass, seeming to think about the words, "according to what I know about her, she is not very courageous, so This guy is afraid of pain even when giving birth, and she's also afraid of the cold. When we were studying together, whenever it snowed, she would lie in bed, eat potato chips, and watch TV shows. She didn't even want to get out of bed. I don't know why. She cares so much about the ruins in Greenland, but obviously being able to brave the cold and not care about the danger only shows that she really, really wants to go there.

"In the end, she got her wish and joined the expedition team. Together with your father, because of their joining, the expedition team also became a scientific expedition team. They stayed in Greenland for a while, well, there were about two months between us. There was no contact, and then she told me that she and your father had returned safely. I asked her how the scientific examination was and whether she had found the ruins that she had always been thinking about.

"She said that she did find something that she didn't know how to describe. If these things were announced, it would probably cause an uproar in the entire theological and archaeological circles, and even have an impact on the existing scientific system. I felt at the time She may have exaggerated a bit, but I could hear the shock and excitement in her words. Although I have not seen her publish the research results of that scientific expedition until now, in fact, after that, I I almost never heard her mention that scientific examination again.”

Han Lu said, "In order to take care of her emotions, I didn't ask again, but I still have to say that her decision at the time was a bit too rash, especially considering that you were only two years old at the time, and she didn't take you back first. Instead of leaving the country to your grandpa, you were placed in a colleague's house and someone took care of you for a few months. She didn't even tell me. I didn't know she had given birth to a son until she returned to China. To be honest, at that time, This does make me a little uncomfortable.

"I am her best friend. We used to talk about everything. Although our contact after graduation was not as frequent as at school, it did not affect our friendship. She should not hide things like having children from me. For so long, although she later explained that I had just broken up with my engaged boyfriend at that time, and she didn’t want to irritate me, but she also knew me, just like I knew him, and she should know that I would not be treated like this. Things are exciting."

Han Lu paused, then asked curiously, "Why are you so interested in Xiao Xia's trip to Greenland, and why don't you ask her directly, or your father?"

"I asked my father, but as you said, they didn't seem to want to talk about it." Zhang Heng said, "Anyway, thank you very much for telling me what you know."

"It's just a piece of cake." Han Lu smiled, "But you'd better not tell Xiaoxia that I told you these things, because I don't know why that guy kept this matter so tight, but I always feel that we It’s like I’m doing something behind her back now.”

"I won't tell her."

After a while, the stewardess came over with the menu and asked the two of them to order with a smile. Han Lu chose Japanese food and a glass of plum wine, but she didn't eat much staple food. Instead, she finished the desserts and fruits, and drank After drinking about half a glass of plum wine, which made her cheeks slightly red, she changed the topic back to vacation.

"Do you want to go there tomorrow?"

"I have never been to Okinawa, so it's up to you to decide." Zhang Heng said.

Han Lu didn't refuse after hearing this, and said directly, "Then let's go diving. Have you ever dived before? How are your skills?"

"Well, it's okay."

"I have dived at both Cape Shinei and Wreck' 92. Let's go to Yonaguni Island this time. It is said that if you are lucky, you can see hammerhead sharks and humpback whales there." Han Lu said, "But over there You may also encounter relatively strong currents when diving in the sea. If you are a beginner or have not dived too many times, we can start from the basic point first.”

"It doesn't matter, just go where you want to go." Zhang Heng said.
