shadow love

Feng Yan is a man who feels a little lonely but is often keen on whimsical ideas. Although he is lazy, he loves to wander around. He calls it travel and adventure to tap potential.

The skills cultivated in the Habsburg family are more applicable to the political and business circles, so they have not been of much use so far. After all these years of deferring family matters to his younger brother, he has felt at ease.

He often imagines himself as a wild beast, hoping to hide in the mountains and forests. As long as he has enough food and a place to hide every day, he seems to be able to have nothing to worry about, but things are often not as simple as imagined. Airsickness, every time he gets off the plane, he looks dead, his water skills are extremely poor, he has strong altitude sickness, and his sense of direction is not so strong...

There is still about a week before the secret gathering day in Japan, Feng Yan has booked an evening flight and intends to go there early.

Sitting in the car going to the airport, looking at the side of the highway in a blink of an eye, there is a small town not far away. The town is very warm under the night, and the faint lights on some road sections are flickering under the cover of roadside branches. Some residential buildings have dots of light, and one light represents a family, and they all have their own ordinary warmth.

Feng Yan suddenly thought of a person, that person who would be difficult to interact with as long as he avoided it, and wondered if he was in his lover's arms now.

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly tightened and he felt chills. He hadn't recalled the past for a long time. He never expected that even after so long, he would still feel pain. Maybe he just avoided facing the trauma in his heart before.

When the line of sight focused on the roadside again, it was already pitch black. After the line of sight adapted to the darkness outside, the outlines of dense forests and mountains gradually appeared in front of the eyes against the background of the black blue sky and slowly moved back. Occasionally, the roadside approached The tree trunk at the place jumped into the line of sight and quickly moved back. Feng Yan felt his head swelled a little, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and slowly closed his eyes for a nap. Half asleep and half awake, memories flooded in fiercely like a tide...

half year ago

Feng Yan took the plane alone to go sightseeing in Egypt. For unknown reasons, in his mind, he always had an indescribable sense of mystery about the Arab countries, and he was always guided to find out. The charm is the same. In order to study ancient Egyptian culture, his favorite place to go is the Nile River area, that is, the first time he went there, he met Andre, the nemesis star.

After passing through the customs at Cairo International Airport, due to airsickness and the hot and dry climate, it was difficult to adapt for a while. Fenyan only felt his ears roaring and dizziness.He lazily walked towards the exit of the airport with his travel bag. He felt helpless against the airsickness that no matter how strong his body was, he decided to use the jet bus provided by the airport to rest in downtown Cairo for one night, and then take the next day. Drive to Giza.

There are many long-distance stations around Ramses Square in Cairo, from where you can take a bus to Delta, Upper Egypt, Canal City and other places, and the transportation is very convenient.

Cairo was quiet and hazy under the morning light, Feng Yan woke up early and put on a crisp white casual shirt and white casual pants, hoping to reduce the sun's poisonous scorching.

Considering my strong motion sickness symptoms, I went nearby to inquire about other ways to go to Giza. I really couldn’t do it and planned to rent a car to drive by myself. Later, I learned that I could take the train from Cairo to Aswan, and my heart was slightly relieved. After all, it is very difficult to drive alone Lonely and tiring, taking the train can obviously relieve a lot of pain. Although it may delay some time, it is very new to Feng Yan.

After going around for a while, it was already past 10 o'clock when they arrived in Giza. Feng Yan contacted the largest local rental company and rented a Hummer for the road.

Giza faces the capital Cairo across the Nile River, and 8 kilometers away from its southern suburbs is the destination of Feng Yan's trip: the Libyan desert, where there are famous monuments such as the pyramids and the Sphinx.

He was a maverick and chose a side road. Before entering the desert area, the road was uneven, and the car seemed to be walking up steps. Even the Hummer with excellent performance still made him bumpy, and his internal organs were almost out of place.

I am really regretful, I am afraid that I will be half-dead before reaching the destination. If I had known this, I should have let Bud arrange the itinerary.

Fortunately, after the car rushed into the desert area, the eyes suddenly opened up. The sand and gravel glowed golden in the sun, spreading all the way to the sky. The desert was dotted with sparse vegetation, which stubbornly resisted nature. The southwest is higher.

The heat and dryness, together with the cup of coffee he drank in the morning to concentrate, played a negative role at this time. Feng Yan suddenly felt a fire in his throat, and he increased his speed and rushed to the location of the Giza pyramids.

When the outline of the pyramid can be vaguely seen, there are already groups of tourists with cameras hanging in the area to watch. Several tourist groups are clustered around the pyramid, and people of different skin colors are wearing hats of different colors and waving small flags.

After turning off the ignition, Feng Yan took a sip of water, squinted his eyes and squatted on the steering wheel for a while, then pulled open the car door with vigor, jumped out of the car and slammed the door again with a "boom~", pressing down a peaked cap to block the glare on the top of his head. Sunshine, strolling around and looking around, these tall, lonely and cold megalithic buildings standing in the desert wilderness are all shocking.

The Pyramid of Khufu is the most magnificent of the three major pyramids in Giza. The original entrance to the mausoleum was the No.13 step. Now tourists come in and out from the newly opened hole in the sixth step to experience the pharaoh's tomb. luxury design.

There are magnificent murals in the tower. There are three tombs in total. The bottom one is similar to the underground tomb, the middle is the queen's tomb, and the top one is the king's tomb. There is a large corridor leading to the king's tomb. It's like an amazing hall before entering the room.

These are not much different from what Feng Yan learned before, but the reality is more shocking than imagination, just like you have heard of the cruelty of the mass graves, but it is far less shocking than what you saw standing in front of the mass graves!

Although fresh air was pouring in from inside the tower, it was still unbearably hot, even suffocating.

Feeling that it was not suitable to stay for a long time, Feng Yan wandered out. What he wanted to see or what he was looking for was not these, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Afterwards, Feng Yan tried to avoid crowded places as much as possible, and specially picked those neglected places that did not attract attention, often standing for more than ten minutes at a time, it seemed that there was a kind of power in this mysterious and solemn place that had gone through tens of thousands of years It made it difficult for him to move, but in the eyes of outsiders, he was just being silly or handsome, and no one would come all the way to be in a daze.

Gu~~ I'm hungry, I look at my watch and it's already afternoon.

After walking around a lot in the morning, I didn’t think about the problem of preparing food. Sure enough, I have too little experience of going out alone. In the past, my assistants took care of it. Yan frowned in a daze, thinking that there might be some compressed biscuits left in his backpack.

Because my stomach is not very good, I am very careful when I eat, and I usually don’t just go to restaurants to eat, so I will bring some compressed biscuits when I go out. It’s good to satisfy my hunger once in a while.

Back in the car, I felt sweat sticky on my body, and I started the car and turned on the air conditioner. After I felt better, I forgot about my stomach.

Feng Yan had a sudden whim and wanted to find some of the more famous oases in the desert. If he could bathe in the small lake in the oasis in the evening, wouldn't it be a very pleasant thing? Actions are always faster than heartbeats, he thought. It has gradually moved away from the pyramid group.

I was still a little panicked when I was driving alone in the desert without any preparation.

Seeing the sky gradually darken, Feng Yan began to feel irritable. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert was huge. He didn't plan to stay in the desert for one night. He had to go back the same way while he could still see the sun.

Calculating the time, I have to go back in an hour at most, and I have driven so far, I really don't want to give up halfway before seeing the shadow of the oasis.

Increase the speed of the car, the Hummer bounced forward with a roar, and a cloud of dust was raised behind the car.

Fortunately, at the last moment when he was about to give up driving back, the sparse palm trees gave Feng Yan hope.

Looking into the distance, he saw the outline of a standing stone in the distance. He accelerated the speed in that direction, and finally stopped beside a big stone. The unlucky physique finally caught the skirt of the goddess of luck this time.

What appeared in front of his eyes was a small oasis surrounded by palm trees. There were guard-like layered rocks nearby, and several lakes shone golden in the setting sun.

The temperature seemed to have dropped a lot. Feng Yan took off his shoes, stepped on the fine sand with bare feet, walked slowly around the big stones, and found some patterns and pictographs engraved on the stone walls, so he squatted down and pondered carefully.

Frowning---stomach ache!

I haven't had a good meal since morning. No wonder the stomach brother started to resist. He simply turned around and sat down in the posture, leaning against the stone with his eyes closed, thinking about waiting for the pain in the stomach to ease.

With my eyes closed, everything around me suddenly became strange. Due to the silence and hypoglycemia, my ears roared, and a strong wind gradually blew up. I glanced at the half-remaining sun that quickly hid in the desert, "Isn't it! It's not good to go out?! "Feng Yan complained incessantly, it seemed that at least he had to grab Lady Luck's leg!
