Chapter 289 Mayan Guide Girl
The coconut fell to the ground, and the girl sitting on the reef suddenly turned her head and realized that someone had come, like a frightened seabird.
He got up in a panic, but didn't stand firm, and fell straight down from the high rock.
However, she did not have an intimate contact with Sha Shi, someone caught her, and she hugged him tightly in a panic, showing mutual tenderness.
Erika put the girl down and looked at her with dissatisfaction. The girl almost hit Godzilla just now.
"Sorry, thank you."
After the girl stood firm, she first apologized, and then thanked Erika, speaking in English. At the same time, she was a little surprised, this beautiful sister is also very skilled.
"Hi, I'm Ixchel Jacques, are you here for a tour?"
Ixchel introduced herself politely, but at the same time she was puzzled. There are usually no tourists here, so she would come here to sing at night.
"Miss Ixchel, hello, my name is Lu Chen."
After Lu Chen introduced himself, he took a closer look at the girl. The girl was wearing a plaid short-sleeved shirt with the local Mayan characteristics. It seemed to have been worn for many years, not to mention it had faded, and it was a little tight. Her breathing was difficult, her navel was exposed in the middle, and she was wearing a short skirt with gray and white flowers on her lower body, which was full of exotic style and youthful vitality.
There was no abnormality in the rhythm of the exposed muscles during the fall, so it should indeed be an accident. The physical fitness is in the category of ordinary people, but relatively healthy.
Eriyi tugged on his sleeve lightly, Lu Chen felt that his judgment was almost done, and said the remarks he had prepared in advance: "We belong to the Archaeological Society of the University of Kassel, and the research content of this semester is the Mayan culture. So I want to come here to see the ancient village.”
Ixchel looked at the group of people in front of him, there were Easterners and Westerners, and the hair color seemed to come from many different countries.
"Mr. Lu, are you here for archaeology?"
Ixchel was a little puzzled. The brothers and sisters who were one or two years older than her looked like tourists. She had seen the archaeological team on TV, and they all carried very professional tools and were well dressed.
"I just arrived in Cancun today. Because of the beautiful scenery here, I went a little too far during the day, but I can't stay idle all the time. I heard that there is a village here, so I came to have a look."
Lu Chen explained that only at this time did he feel a headache. Normally, this kind of thing was handled by Brother Chu, and he was only responsible for cutting the dragon.
Now he is the executive officer of the war practice class, and he is also the benchmark that the younger brothers and sisters of the Lionheart Association look forward to. He can't leave these things to other people.
Zero actually has strong analytical skills, but when she communicates...it always seems to be giving orders, and her expression looks very unfriendly.
Lu Mingfei... Let him rot in his stomach if he speaks nonsense.
He had just tested Ixchel and mentioned the word "Cassel", but the other party was indifferent.
According to the plan of the first two missions of the Executive Department, they should have communicated with the local villagers. Kassel College will not be "anonymous" to the outside world, but usually people can't find out what Kassel College is. Just college.
"Our village, in fact, you should go to the Tulum ruins for archaeology. Now we basically don't have any ancient culture here."
Ixchel suggested, and smiled again: "But if you want to visit the village, of course we welcome it."
After finishing speaking, Ixchel began to lead the way, and Lu Chen and the others walked behind her, while paying attention to the surrounding situation.
Since it was getting dark, everyone turned on the strong flashlight specially provided by the equipment department.
Except for Lu Chen and Erika, everyone else had pistols hidden under their clothes, with two magazines allocated. In addition to Frigga bullets, there were alchemy live ammunition.
The weapons of Lu Chen and Eliyi are also in a state of being air-dropped at any time. Above the clouds above 7000 meters away, there are transport planes from the executive department circling alternately and periodically.
After all, they have suffered huge losses, and the academy attaches great importance to this task, and will not let their ace commissioner slay the dragon without a weapon at hand.
Ixchel is a lively girl, she may rarely see outsiders, and she talks a lot along the way, except for introducing their village, she just asks about things outside.
From the chat, I learned that this girl dropped out of junior high school, but because the village has lived on the sea for generations, they can do business on the beach and communicate with people from all over the world, so gradually English has become a village. mainstream language.
"Don't you speak Mayan?"
Lu Mingfei asked curiously. In his mind, the Mayans were still very mysterious, but looking at this girl who was one year younger than him, he felt like an ordinary girl next door. So rigid and scary.
Mentioning this, Ixchel showed a somewhat ashamed expression on his face, "Actually, very few people here know Maya, especially young people. After all, Maya cannot eat, do business on the beach, and tourists don't know it." Can communicate with us in Mayan."
"Well, I thought you would know divination and prophecy."
Lu Mingfei was a little disappointed. The reality is always different from the comics and novels. Everyone has to make a living. Divination and prophecy can't be exchanged for food, and people will be regarded as liars.
"Hee hee, if this gentleman wants to try divination, you can go to the old lady at the end of the village. She seems to know a little bit, but I think she is just trying to trick children."
Ixchel led the way and said as he walked, the distance was less than one kilometer, and it was over soon.
The village was a bit dilapidated, and there was a drooping wooden sign hanging on an old tree, engraved with ancient Mayan characters, which Lu Chen couldn't understand.
The interior of the village is basically wooden houses. For a certain number of years, it has been in the coastal area for many years, and it looks a little damp and old. There are not many people in the village, because it is not yet "off work" time.
"Dark Sun, this is the name of this village."
Ling explained to Lu Chen in a low voice in Chinese, and made Lu Chengao take a look at Ling, who didn't expect Brother Chu to be away, and he had other encyclopedias.
Ixchel, who was walking in front, looked back at Zero. She couldn't understand Chinese, but she was a little curious about what these archaeological students were secretly communicating.
"This is Granny Keya's small stall. It is said that they are all items for ancient sacrifices and have magical powers. If you are interested, you can also buy them from Granny Keya."
Ixchel introduced some things in the village, um... most of the time, he was doing business sales.
Although the beautiful red-haired sister saved her and she was very grateful, she was still scared by these people and slipped down.
Life is not easy. The young people in the village are very smart and know how to make money.
"Godzilla, look at this."
Erika picked up a wood carving of a giant panda, she always liked such cute things.
"Ixchel, how much is this?"
Lu Chen glanced at the woodcarving and complained secretly in his heart. Even if his academic performance was not good, he knew that there were no giant pandas in the area where the Mayans lived in history. Is this a sacrificial offering?Liar!
But... since Erika likes it, he is also willing to be taken advantage of.
"Chenghui, one hundred dollars!"
Ixchel turned her head and smiled and stretched out her hand, and she didn't maliciously kill the customers. When Grandma Keya was free to open the stall, depending on the situation, she would ask those Yankees for thousands of dollars.
Lu Chen nodded, and Zero consciously took out a hundred dollars in cash from his small bag. Many places here do not accept credit cards, and cash is necessary.
"It's really good money."
Lu Mingfei whispered beside Ling, he is not a fool, giant panda wood carvings have magical powers, he feels that it is insulting people's IQ, and he can only deceive rich Americans.
The Mayans in the village were also very enthusiastic, especially after seeing the pocket money so readily, the thick wad of banknotes when they opened their wallets was even more dazzling.
"Ixchel, today is very fruitful, and being a tour guide has a bright future."
A dark-skinned, middle-aged man greeted Ixchel with a smile in Mayan.
"Are you a tour guide?"
Asked without opening her mouth, Ixchel was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that some of these people could understand Mayan. You must know that Uncle Moke's Mayan is not standard at all, and he was able to hear the exact meaning. ?
Ixchel spread her hands out of embarrassment, "It's for a living, and I don't have a good education, so I can only run errands as a tour guide."
She angrily scolded that all the TV shows are deceitful, who said that the top students in archeology are vases, they can only guess the meaning of the Mayan text, and they can't understand it?
In fact, Ixchel's understanding is not wrong. Even professors who specialize in Mayan culture in this world may be able to understand the text, but they cannot understand the Mayan text, because the practice of pronunciation and listening requires materials and environments , which is just the opposite of the Mayans.
It is an interesting phenomenon that many modern Mayans can speak Mayan language, but they cannot read Mayan language.
Zero is not learning Mayan language by grinding guns, but at the request of the boss, he learned it very early. This is the self-cultivation of tool people.
"Is life hard here?"
Erika asked suspiciously, her English is becoming more and more standard, and Sister Milana often communicates with her in English for counseling.
At this time, she looked at this dilapidated village, and she couldn't associate it with the bustling beach on the other side, and it was the first time she saw such a place.
Although she has been locked in a small house for many years, she has always been rich in life, so she cannot understand the meaning of money to the poor, and she does not know what kind of life the people at the bottom live.
"It's not too difficult. Since the development of the tourism industry, our life has actually become much better. We used to rely on agriculture and fishing, but now we only need to lie on the beach..."
Ishichelton paused, showing a playful and awkward smile, "... just sell things."
Hello!You just wanted to say you were lying! ?
Is it really okay for you to be a tour guide like this! ?
Lu Mingfei wanted to complain, but Senior Brother Lu didn't speak, so he didn't dare to overstep.
"I heard that the Mexican government has allocated a lot of funds here, why not renovate the village?"
Lu Chen asked.
Ixchel sighed, "Where did the government's appropriation get into our hands? We haven't even used up the money for the development of the scenic spots outside."
Then Ixchel showed a nice smile again, "But we are still very grateful to the country. After all, relying on scenic spots to eat is much better than before, without the tiredness of farming and fishing."
She pointed to the dilapidated village, "Actually, the village is not as poor as you imagined, it's just that the old people don't want to demolish and rebuild, it has always been like this."
She led a few people to an empty house, "There used to be more people in the village, but many people moved to the city to work after making money. Granny Keya said they were all traitors, but I I think it’s okay, if I earn enough money, I will move to the city, and I also want to study.”
"Why didn't your parents let you go to school first?"
Lu Mingfei was a little strange. Ixchel seemed to be under 17 years old, but he was already running around for a living, and when he was 17 years old, he was still dawdling in Shilan Middle School.
Mentioning this, Ixchel's mood became depressed, "I don't have parents..."
"Ah, I'm sorry..."
Lu Mingfei was at a loss and felt sorry for the girl. At the same time, he began to reflect on his previous life.
He glanced at Senior Brother Lu. Senior Brother Lu didn't have parents either, but he became the trump card of Kassel College by self-improvement, and the girl in front of him probably started working as a tour guide for tourists very early, just to make a living.
He has no worries about food and clothing, his parents have only gone abroad, and his uncle and aunt are taking care of him. He is not miserable enough, but he imagines himself to be miserable.
"It's nothing. Grandma Keya raised me. Everyone in the village treats me very well. I feel that life is very happy."
Ixchel added silently in his heart, "It's more fun to catch a big guy today."
"Ixchel, has anything strange happened in your village recently?"
Lu Chen looked around the village and found nothing unusual. He made eye contact with Eri Yi, and Eri Yi, who had a sharper intuition, didn't feel that there was anything wrong.
Although there were many lessons learned on the beach today, he still wanted to ask this girl again.
"weird things?"
Ixchel tilted his head, feeling that you are a bit strange, and thought to himself, could it be that he heard some folk rumors to investigate and explore?
"What do you mean?"
Lu Chen stared into Ixchel's eyes, "For example, is there... any missing persons?"
"Missing?"
Ixchel was puzzled, "No, our village is not big, I know hundreds of people, and everyone is there."
The strange feeling in Lu Chen's heart was even worse. This matter was investigated by the local police, and the enforcement department also came twice. According to the last statistics, more than 30 people should have disappeared, but the girl in front of him didn't notice it at all.
The bewildered expression of the other party does not seem to be fake, coupled with the investigation during the day, it seems that the people here really don't know about the disappearance.
Or... They used to know, but now, they have forgotten.
Ixchel did not stop leading the way. When they came to the end of the village, there was a magnificent building on the edge of the cliff facing the sea.
