Chapter 1208 Refreshing
Last time, Zhang Zian took the arc route of Cairo-Alexandria-Mahru Port-Siwa Oasis, in order to stop by for sightseeing in Alexandria and Mahru Port, but this time he chose to go west along the highway from Cairo , the route to Siwa Oasis via Fayoum Oasis.
If you go south instead of west at the three-way intersection, you will lead to a famous scenic spot in Egypt-the Black and White Desert.
The black and white deserts are two adjacent deserts, one is the black desert and the other is the white desert. Many people who come to Egypt will visit there and spend the night in the desert, light bonfires, live in tents, eat barbecue, drink beer, and enjoy The sunrise and sunset in the desert, as well as the pure and pollution-free starry sky, bring a different kind of novel experience to people who are used to living in big cities.
The situation in Egypt has been unstable recently, and tourists are not allowed to stay alone in the Black and White Desert overnight. However, Zhang Zian has no plans to visit the Black and White Desert in the south anyway, and will turn west at the three-way intersection. The Black and White Desert is just the fringe of the Sahara Desert. Once you enter the Great Western Desert, you will have plenty of time to spend the night in the desert, so you may not be able to leave early.
The scenery on this road is extremely monotonous and boring, with boundless desert and Gobi on both sides. On the endless road, you will encounter a bus carrying tourists every so often. After all, it is the off-season for tourism.
The elves went to bed late last night and got up early today, and soon fell asleep due to boredom, especially Fei Na, who was sitting in the co-pilot seat, couldn't stop her series of yawns. Then start to feel sleepy.
Getting sleepy while driving is a big taboo, Zhang Zian doesn't want to get into a car accident on the road in a foreign country, and this place is so desolate, if there is a car accident, he probably won't be able to wait for a long time for rescue.
In order to refresh himself, he had no choice but to bring out the magic tool——Pin Xixi's version of cold oil!
He gave away quite a lot of this cold oil, and he still had some stock left in his hand. He planned to send it all out before leaving Egypt. If he couldn't send it out, he had to throw it away.
Opening the lid of a small box of cold oil, a strong smell immediately diffused quietly in the car.
He dipped a little bit with his fingertips and applied it on the temples on both sides, and immediately felt refreshed, feeling that the viscous paste-like object was absorbing the heat of the skin like a bottomless pit.
"what?"
Fina was the closest to him and smelled it right away.
"Cool oil, would you like to apply some? You won't be sleepy after applying it." Zhang Zian suggested diligently, but he didn't know how to read the word "凊", so he could only pronounce the word "Qing" instead.
Fina looked at him like a fool,
"Are you stupid? Why does Ben Gong wipe this off? If you are sleepy, it will be fine if you don't sleep?"
"I want to drive, and I can't sleep, and besides, it contains mint, which is a close relative to the catnip you like." He said.
Although mint and catnip both have the word mint in their names and look alike, their relationship is actually not that close. Catnip is not a plant of the mint genus at all.
Fina straightened her face, and categorically denied: "Who said that Ben Gong likes catnip? Don't confuse Ben Gong with those ordinary cats!"
Well, catnip is not effective for all cats, only about 50% of cats respond to catnip, it seems that Fina belongs to the other 50% of cats.
Some cats also react to things containing mint ingredients such as cooling oil and toilet water, but as for the box of cooling oil in my hand... the ghost knows what its ingredients are, anyway, if you don’t eat it, you shouldn’t want it. Life.
Seeing that the cooling oil had no effect on Fina, it started to yawn again, Zhang Zian thought for a while and said, "By the way, there seems to be a crystal mountain in the black and white desert."
"Crystal... mountain?" Fina opened her eyes and asked suspiciously: "Is it the crystal mountain that I understand? You are not fooling me again, are you? It's like that little diamond in Germany. Like the town..."
When he was in Germany, Zhang Zian just said it casually, but he didn't expect him to remember the diamond town in Germany, which was embarrassing.
"No, of course it's not fooling around. There really is a crystal mountain in the Black and White Desert. There are crystals all over the ground. The ones as big as a fist are everywhere, so pick them up." He vowed.
Fina straightened her body immediately, and said with bright eyes: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go to Crystal Mountain! If you go too late, they will be picked up by others!"
"It's a pity that we don't take that route. After passing the Fayoum Oasis, we will turn west." Zhang Zian shrugged.
"What?" Fei Na patted the cushion angrily, and said sharply, "How dare you disobey my order?"
Old Cha coughed from behind, "Your Majesty, calm down! There must be something hidden in this. The Crystal Mountain should not have been discovered recently. It has stood here for many years, why no one picked it up?"
As soon as Fina heard about the crystals everywhere, she ignored other problems. At this time, she was reminded by Old Tea that it seemed to make sense after careful consideration, just like the diamond town in Germany. If the town is full of diamonds, why is there still Not picked up?
"You're fooling me again!" It stretched out its paw angrily, "I'm giving you a chance to confess, is there any crystal there?"
Zhang Zian didn't expect it to have such a big reaction, he just wanted to make a joke, he didn't want to lose his life, so he quickly explained: "I didn't fool around, there is indeed a crystal mountain over there, and there are indeed crystals everywhere... …It’s just that the purity of the crystal is not high, and it’s worthless.”
If there is really a valuable crystal mountain over there, Fina will forcefully fill the car with crystals, and he and the other elves can only buy tickets like the third brother in India.
Fina heard that he didn't seem to be talking nonsense, so she restrained her anger a little, "It's worthless?"
"It's worthless. Crystals are essentially no different from glass. They are all silicon dioxide, which can already be synthesized artificially. In fact, let alone crystals, even diamonds are hyped..."
As soon as Zhang Zian talked about diamonds, he hated them deeply. What kind of diamonds are forever, a slogan that will be passed down forever is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This evil little stone not only fooled women, but also fooled cats!
He tried to change Fina's point of view, making it accept the fact that diamonds are not worth much, so as not to treat his diamonds as treasures like the dragon guarding the treasure in western legends all day long, it is better to sell second-hand while it is still valuable .
"Shut up!"
Fina scolded with a cold face, "For the sake of you not lying, I won't bother with you about the Crystal Mountain for now, but you can't push further! Otherwise, I will settle the diamond town with you first!"
Zhang Zian shut his mouth in embarrassment, but at least the goal of refreshing his mind has been achieved, and he is no longer sleepy. From his temples to his back is cold and cold...
