Chapter 290 has to add money!
"Okay, here we are, the oldest one in our village is here, clang clang, pyramid."
Ixchel introduced proudly, the posture is almost like an oriental tour guide introducing the palace, and an Egyptian tour guide introducing the Khufu Pyramid. From this aspect, this girl really has the talent to be a tour guide.
But the building in front of me is said to be magnificent, but as a pyramid, it's...too small.
It is only about 26 meters high and 45 meters long, which is much smaller than the pyramid Lu Chen saw in the college sightseeing area.
Ling explained in Chinese: "The Mayans were similar to the tribal system in China in ancient times. Many tribes would build pyramids. The powerful tribes had more people and built larger ones. Their scale here is relatively small."
It's not that she loves popular science, she just wants to explain it to Lu Chen.
"Junior Sister is knowledgeable. I thought nobles were like Brother Caesar and Senior Sister Luticia."
Lu Chen praised, Brother Kaiser is not much better than himself in studies, he doesn't go to class, Brother Kaiser is quite diligent in class, but he still needs the help of brothers from the student union during the exam.
Senior sister Luticia is said to be a British nobleman, but in fact... her grades are also very average.
"Need to take pictures? I can take pictures for $[-] a piece~"
Ixchel 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 in the Tulum ruins."
"zero."
Lu Chen nodded, opened his bag, and took out another two hundred dollars from it, without even saying "you don't need to look for it".
Ixchel also "consciously" didn't change the money. Looking at Ling's little queen-like temperament, she can understand that she is definitely the one who is not short of money.
She looked at the leader, Lu Chen, with golden eyes. Legend has it that top bosses don't bring money when they go out. She saw it today.
Maybe she will be able to save enough for high school tuition if she takes good care of these benefactors today.
After paying the money, Lu Chen led the way up the steps of the pyramid, walked a few steps and bent down, pretending to check the ancient Mayan writing.
The reason why I say "pretending" is because he can't understand at all...
Lu Mingfei still hesitated before going up, and looked at Ixchel, "Is this considered a cultural relic? Is it okay to go up and trample on it?"
What's more, he heard that the Maya's sacrificial culture is very strict, and the pyramid is a sacred book of prophecy, but it seems that the girl in front of him doesn't take her own pyramid seriously at all.
"hey-hey……"
Ixchel smiled a little embarrassedly, "Actually, it's nothing. I used to run up there when I was a child... Don't talk about this, in fact, people here usually don't let outsiders come here. Before Grandma Keya wakes up, you Hurry up and take a picture."
"I thought the Mayans were very religious."
Lu Mingfei complained and walked towards the pyramid.
"Faith can't be eaten. In fact, I don't believe in God at all."
Ixchel waved his hand, signaling Lu Mingfei to go quickly.
"Godzilla, I don't understand..."
Huiliyi squatted beside Lu Chen, looked at it for a while, and said honestly.
Lu Chen was helpless, in order to maintain a tall image, he could only use his trump card, took out his mobile phone, and activated the pre-installed Norma system for translation.
Zero walked around the pyramid, and came to Lu Chen and reported in Chinese in a low voice: "The pyramid is real, it is very old, and there is some 'history' on it that matches the 'history' of the Mayans that the academy knows. "
The 'history' mentioned by Zero is also a prophecy. Although this 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 race. It is indeed a product of the influence of the dragon culture, so the identity of these Mayans is intriguing.
There is no blood tie owner among them, so it is impossible to judge which people are mixed races. After all, mixed races with lower bloodlines look similar to ordinary people before awakening.
Moreover, mixed races are usually better. According to Ixchel, since 1975, many people left the village after making money.
Lu Chen led the other students down the pyramid, frowning slightly.
"Brother Lu, what's the matter?"
Lu Mingfei wondered, it's a good thing they discovered the remains of the Dragon Clan, and the investigation has made progress.
However, he looked around, except for Ling who was still expressionless, and Erika who took a flashlight to take pictures, the other students looked a little heavy.
People always follow the crowd, and Lu Mingfei immediately felt that he was stupid. Everyone seemed to have noticed something wrong, but he didn't.
In the end, he said nothing to explain Lu Mingfei's doubts, "There was no pyramid here before."
Lu Mingfei was stunned for a moment, there is no pyramid! ?
What does no mean?
Such a big thing can't be built in a few days, wait for us to see it?
Besides, this pyramid does look very old, didn't you just say that it was true?
Lu Chen glanced at Lu Mingfei, "You should carefully read the mission information given by Norma."
"Several, don't you want to take pictures? I still think it's too dark, everyone can come tomorrow, and there will be no repeated charges."
Ixchel was a little confused. These people went up and walked around and then came down without taking pictures. After they got down, they were all communicating in obscure Chinese, which made her very stressed.
It's not that I went up to have a look, I feel dissatisfied, and I want to refund the money! ?
"It's okay, let's take a look during the day. In fact, we haven't found a good place to live yet, and we really want to experience the folk customs of the Mayans. Can we stay in your village for one night?"
Lu Chen asked, since there are no effective clues elsewhere, they will stay here in person to see what will happen at night.
To the surprise of several people, Ixchel, a money-lovers girl, shook her head, "I can't make a decision on this, I need Granny Keya's permission."
She looked at these rich brothers and sisters with some puzzlement, and wondered if the archaeological spirit of college students is so rigorous now. You must know that the living conditions in the village are very poor, far worse than the hotels in the city.
In order to experience folk customs?So want to stay overnight...
"Of course we won't live in vain. The archaeological funds for the college are very sufficient. How about paying you [-] US dollars for each night of the eight of us?"
Lu Chen discussed.
The little girl who hadn't entered the world was stunned, "One, one, ten thousand dollars?"
How many days would she have to run diligently to save ten thousand dollars?
And as long as these people live for one night, they can earn [-] yuan, which is enough for her tuition fees for three years!
If she let the other party sleep a few more nights, she could even save enough money for college!
"Then...you guys come with me, go see Granny Keya, and see if she agrees."
Ixchel hesitated, praying in her heart that Granny Keya would not be an old lady today, because her school money was right in front of her eyes.
In the village, there are old stone candlesticks with glass covers on them. Every night, someone will light these candlesticks to guide people.
But Lu Mingfei felt that it was good for them to have flashlights, and it was fine if these candlesticks were not lit. After they were lit, he felt even more eerie and spooky.
Follow Ixchel to the largest wooden house at the end of the village, which also looks the oldest.
"Grandma Keya, are you still sleeping?"
Ixchel knocked on the door and shouted loudly, the penetrating power of the voice made Lu Mingfei cover his ears, thinking that no wonder he had a good singing voice.
"Little Chuck, come in."
An old voice came from inside the house, speaking in Mayan, and Ixchel opened the door. People in the village do not lock the door very much. At the same time, he turned to the others and said, "Grandma Keya said we can go in. Grandma Keya doesn't like turning off the flashlight."
Thinking that the girl named Zero seemed to understand Mayan, she explained, "Chuck is my nickname."
Zero looked at Ixchel thoughtfully, but they had already walked into the house, and it was not suitable for communication.
Ixchel lit candles in the room. In fact, the village has electricity and internet access. Some villagers have TVs and computers in their homes. She also has a mobile phone, but Grandma Keya is very traditional, and she never uses these modern things in her residence.
The candlesticks in the village were also kept under the advice of Granny Keya, otherwise they could replace them with street lamps.
Under the illumination of candlelight, everyone could see the interior of this room clearly. The walls were engraved with ancient Mayan characters, various cloth strips were hung, and various strange wood carvings were placed on several shelves. Appeared terribly frightening.
Sitting on a cushion in the center of the room is an old woman, her body shrunken due to old age, her face is full of wrinkles and age spots, and she looks at least 80 years old.
"Little Chuck, who are they?"
Granny Keya spoke slowly, as if speaking was taking a lot of effort.
"Mother-in-law, they came to us for archaeology, and they said they want to experience traditional Mayan culture and want to stay here for one night."
Ixchel knelt beside Granny Keya, holding her cold hand.
"Stay one night?"
Grandma Keya looked at the young people in the room, eight of them, which is quite a lot.
Ixchel looked at Granny Keya expectantly, hoping that she would agree.
"No."
But the old and cold voice ruthlessly shattered Ixchel's hope. Granny Keya's sunken eyes looked a little perverted, and she looked at Lu Chen who was at the front: "We don't accept outsiders here, go to the city stay here."
"Grandma, they are here for archaeology, and they are here for money."
Ixchel whispered in Granny Keya's ear.
"Give money?"
Granny Keya waved her hand, "How much can I give?"
Ixchel lay beside Granny Keya's ear and whispered, "Ten thousand dollars a day."
Lu Mingfei looked nervously at this perverted old woman, wondering if the other party would agree, if not...
Oh, he wasn't worried about them being driven away, he was a little worried about the old lady.
Brother Lu... he doesn't look like a nice gentleman who always negotiates peacefully.
Granny Keya raised her hand and slapped Ixchel on the head, her voice was shrill, "Money, money, money, you know money! Ten thousand dollars will take your soul away!?"
Granny Keya seemed to be out of breath, stood up tremblingly with a cane, pointed at Ixchel, "Do you know, this is the village rule, rule!"
Ixchel was trained to lower her head, and stood aside aggrieved.
Granny Keya looked up at the outsiders who were whispering in Chinese, and said in English, "Our village has never accepted outsiders to stay overnight for thousands of years. This is our unbroken rule for thousands of years. The Mayan people's primitive Belief!"
Lu Chen looked at Granny Keya, wondering whether to change the way of negotiation.
But at this moment, the crutches in Granny Keya's hands bumped against the ground, and she walked up to Lu Chen, "...you need to pay more!"
Lu Chen: ...
Ixchel was also stunned for a moment. She originally thought that Granny Keya would trick the tourists into buying cursed wood carvings. She said that Lu Chen and the others would pay a high price for accommodation, but Granny Keya disagreed, and she still had some money. Puzzled.
So she was waiting for her, Gao!
Grandma, you are still taller!
It's because I'm out of shape.
"zero."
Lu Chen didn't expect such a dramatic reversal, but he could use money to solve the problem. Naturally, he didn't want to conflict with the Mayans, which would be detrimental to their subsequent search for clues.
Zero took out a stack of banknotes from her bag, which looked like fifteen thousand dollars, but she didn't check it carefully.
Grandma Keya's old eyes saw the stacks of banknotes in the zero packet by the candlelight, bursting out with the vitality of a young man, and her old face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.
After receiving the money, his attitude turned 180 degrees, "Hey, the young people are so generous, Ixchel, go and arrange two rooms for them, just the two big ones next door, clean it up, and we can't neglect the guests."
"Okay, let's go right away."
Ixchel ran out happily, and even forgot to say hello to Lu Chen and the others.
Granny Keya looked at Ixchel running out, and sighed secretly in her heart, silly girl, do you think it is easy to go to school and live in the city, you need to save more money.
She withdrew her gaze, and looked at these young people again, "The old lady doesn't have anything to entertain here, everyone sit down first."
As she said that, she took a stack of cushions from the stack on one side, and a female freshman who was nearby took it sensibly, and distributed it to everyone.
"Zero, why don't you sit down?"
Lu Mingfei reminded in a low voice, everyone sat down, only Ling stood in front of the cushion.
After being informed by Lu Mingfei, Ling sat down with some hesitation.
"The visitor is a guest. The old woman doesn't have any good things here, but she is good at divination. Do you want to try it?"
Grandma Keya said with a smile, but that smile was eerie against the backdrop of the candlelight.
Lu Mingfei felt that the other party was like an old witch in a fairy tale, he asked hesitantly, "Do you want money?"
"Of course not. Divination is just a small game. The guests are so rich. Of course, I won't charge any more money for the old lady. Little Chuck is going to prepare dinner, which can be used as entertainment before dinner."
Granny Keya explained, took a wooden basin from behind, filled with corn seeds, looked at the girls, and bewitched in a low voice: "You can predict the future."
The freshmen looked at Lu Chen one after another. They thought this was a mission process, and they had to ask the executive officer for any actions.
Seeing Lu Chen nodding, a girl named Grace acted. She has always been curious about the divination of the Mayans.
Rather, every girl will be interested in this kind of thing.
