Tom cat breaking through the dimensional wall

Chapter 177 Egypt!Cairo!
Carrying backpacks, Xiaoyu and Jackie Chan came out of Cairo Airport.

They have crossed the Eurasian continent in such a short period of time. Even if they have already stepped on the clean floor of Cairo International Airport, their minds are still a little dazed.

Whenever they think that Tom's performance is just like this, Tom can always refresh their horizons.

Looking at Tom who was excited, holding a camera in his hand, and taking pictures of "Kaka" after landing, Jackie Chan shook his head and forced himself to come back to his senses.

I secretly convinced myself that I should not be surprised by anything the cat does in the future, otherwise my heart would not be able to bear it easily.

Looking at Tom's non-stop taking pictures, Jackie Chan couldn't help but think of the novel written by Tom.

I was still wondering where those photos of him came from.

Now seeing Tom like this, he has the answer in his heart.

After filming the airport, Tom took two more photos of Jackie Chan and the others.

There are even palm trees in Cairo Airport in Egypt, which can be used as the background of Jackie Chan and the others, and the photos taken are quite beautiful.

As soon as this palm tree is in the mirror, the flavor of Egypt comes immediately.

You don't need to take too many photos in the airport.

After taking a few photos, Tom returned to Jackie Chan and walked out of the airport with them.

With his head down, Tom walked while checking the photos just taken in the camera.

It was Xiaoyu's first visit to Egypt, and she seemed very excited.

Walking up and down beside Jackie Chan, Xiaoyu suddenly looked at Jackie Chan and asked, "Uncle Long, we have all arrived in Egypt, where are we going next? Aren't you invited to participate in some archaeological activities? Over there Where is your address?"

Hearing Xiaoyu ask this question, Jackie Chan also seemed a little distressed.

Scratching his head, Jackie Chan replied to Xiaoyu: "The people from the British Museum didn't explain where the archaeological site is, they just said that the Four Seasons Hotel in Cairo will meet up. We came a few days early, and the agreed time is a week later."

"Why do you want to do this? They can't trust you? We can go there first."

Xiaoyu still couldn't understand.

Although Jackie Chan wanted to go and have a look first, as someone who really loves archeology, after arriving in Egypt, his heart for archeology was ready to move.

But precisely because he is a serious archaeologist, he also knows why the British Museum did this.

After all, it is really like what Xiaoyu said, they don't have 100% trust in Jackie Chan.

Not only for Jackie Chan, but also for some other invited scholars.

After all, this is a newly discovered archaeological site. If it is leaked, there will always be some people with ulterior motives who will act in advance, and it is very likely that the precious archaeological site will be destroyed in the end.

Those people only wanted money, but they took it and ran away regardless of its historical and cultural value.

Even some large pieces that are not easy to handle, they will violently cut them.

These are real and real cases, and the people of the British Museum should not be careful.

Jackie Chan told Xiaoyu about the reasons for this, and Xiaoyu nodded understandingly.

"So where are we going now?"

The two of them and the cat had already walked out of the airport slowly with the tourists. As soon as they left the gate of the airport, a wave of heat hit their faces, instantly making Jackie Chan and the others feel the enthusiasm of Egypt.

In the eyes, there is a piece of Egypt's ancient charm, like the dust of history.

The area around the Cairo International Airport is very empty, and as far as the eye can see, there are only a small number of various vehicles staying there.

Because of the high temperature of the sun, the people and things a little further away are somewhat distorted.

Occasionally some green, like a person who has been dry for a long time, suddenly comes into contact with a clear spring, which makes people's brains slightly refreshed.

When they were on the plane just now, the stewardess also said that the outside temperature was 37 degrees, but Tom and the others felt that it was probably at least [-] degrees.

Within a few seconds of the group leaving the airport, they were forced by the heat wave to return to the airport.

Wiping the sweat off his head, Jackie Chan looked around, pulled the backpack on his shoulders, and then said: "Let's go to the airport bus station first, take the bus directly to the center of Cairo, and first go to the Four Seasons Hotel to get a room. "

"If there is still time, let's take a stroll in downtown Cairo first. We will go to see the pyramids and the Sphinx tomorrow. I want to go to the Cairo Museum the day after tomorrow."

"Anyway, it will take some time for people from the British Museum to come over, and we can just take advantage of this time to travel."

Hearing what Jackie Chan said, Xiaoyu was very happy.

It feels like an interesting journey.

But the weather was so hot that Xiaoyu really couldn't lift his spirits.

"Great……"

Xiaoyu cheered weakly, then looked at Tom aside for help, and begged, "Tom, it's so hot here, what can you do?"

Tom was also extremely hot at this time. The whole cat was bent over weakly, sweating profusely, with its mouth open and tongue sticking out, as if it had been turned into a dead dog by the heat.

Hearing Xiaoyu's words, Tom waved his hands lazily, then grabbed his own tail, wringing the water as vigorously as a towel.

Accompanied by the sound of running water, a lot of sweat was squeezed out of Tom's tail, and a puddle gathered under his feet.

Squeezing out the sweat from his body, Tom's whole cat looked much more energetic.

For Xiaoyu's request, Tom felt that it was okay.

Jackie Chan has experienced many battles, so maybe he can bear it.

Tom can bear it too, but it doesn't have to be.

Because it obviously has a way to solve the problem, but if it doesn't solve it, it's not called being strong-willed, it's called being cheap.

Suffering is always suffering, and those who are truly powerful are those who can survive it.

This is exactly what Tom is going to do now.

After thinking for a while, Tom reached out and grabbed a rope hanging from the sky, and pulled it hard!
With a "crash", like a stage curtain, the originally bright sky was instantly covered by falling darkness.

In just a moment, the sky is full of stars and the moon is shining brightly.

At night, the temperature in Egypt drops significantly.

Although it was still in the twenties, it was much better than when the sun was in the sky.

"Wow!"

"Oh my God!"

"My God! What happened!"

It was suddenly dark, causing the passengers who had just come out of the airport to scream in panic!

Suddenly caused a lot of commotion.

It seems that some people have noticed Tom and are casting their eyes here.

Xiaoyu was still looking up at the moon, amazed.

Jackie Chan noticed the movement over there, and quickly bent down to pick up Xiaoyu and Tom Mu.

With one in each hand, run away!

After running a certain distance, turning into a corner, and avoiding the sight of the tourists, Jackie Chan panted and put Tom and the others back to the ground.

Looking up at the night sky above his head, Jackie Chan felt his head hurting again.

Kneeling down and looking directly at Tom, Jackie Chan went crazy: "This is not good, the temperature has dropped, but the movement is too loud. And we will stay in Egypt for a long time in the future, we can't keep the sky dark all the time, it will affect the world. Mess!"

"Wow! Cool!"

Beside Xiaoyu put her hands in her pockets, and when she heard Jackie Chan's words, she suddenly cried out excitedly

"No! Jade! That's not cool at all!"

Jackie Chan turned to look at Xiaoyu again.

"Okay, whatever you say is what you say."

Xiaoyu shrugged indifferently.

Tom also followed Xiaoyu's example and shrugged.

What Jackie Chan said is also reasonable, this day really can't be left so dark all the time, there will be troubles after a long time.

If so, then change the method.

Tom pulled the rope hanging from the sky.

It's like pulling a light switch.

The sky, which was still dark just now, suddenly brightened!

The scorching temperature came back to the world with the light.

There was another exclamation from the airport gate.

This bright and dark weather is really confusing.

After today's incident, I am afraid that many people will start to doubt life after they go back.

Fortunately, many foreigners are theists, and what happened today should not drive them crazy.

It is quite possible to make them believe in immortals and gods more.

On Tom's side, after the sky brightened again, he thought of another way.

It whistled toward the clouds in the sky.

He saw a pair of big cartoon eyes opened in that thick cloud, and looked towards him.

Tom raised his paw and bowed to it, and then pretended to be dying of heat, wanting to ask it for help.

Seeing that Tang Mu wanted something from himself, the thick clouds did not hesitate, closed their eyes again, and began to move slowly in the sky. A dark cloud immediately blocked Tom and the others, blocking all the sunlight.

In this way, without direct sunlight, Tom and the others suddenly felt that the body temperature dropped a lot.

Although it is still hot, it has reached a bearable level.

Although Tom Mu also has the ability to make Egypt enter the Ice Age, but that is completely unnecessary, and it really affects the lives of normal people there.

After initially solving the heat problem, Jackie Chan took Tom and the others to the airport bus station first.

A group of people got on the bus after buying the tickets, and after waiting on the bus for half an hour, the bus finally departed and drove towards the destination.

Fortunately, the air conditioner was turned on on this bus, otherwise, in this kind of weather, people would lose their appearance after sitting in the bus for half an hour.

The bus driver seemed to be in a good mood. Although the weather was very hot, there was always a cloud blocking the sun for him, which made the driver feel that he was blessed by the gods.

The bus was driving on the yellow asphalt road, bumping from time to time.

Gradually, as the bus began to enter the urban area.

Significant Egyptian-inspired buildings around it also began to appear.

"Uncle Long, what's the matter with those houses? Why don't they have roofs?"

Xiaoyu has just arrived here, and she is not very familiar with various humanities and customs in Egypt.

Hearing Xiaoyu's question, Jackie Chan also looked out the window.

The bus is still moving slowly.

The scenery on both sides of the outside of the bus is also moving backwards with the advancement of the vehicle.

On both sides of the road, rows of two or three-story small buildings without roofs are indeed very eye-catching.

At first glance, it looks like rows of unfinished buildings.

It's just that there are obviously many people still living in these unfinished buildings.

"More than half of the buildings in Cairo are in an unfinished state, but unlike other countries, although their houses have not been capped or finished, they are not unfinished."

Jackie Chan is worthy of the name of a scholar, and he can answer Xiaoyu's random questions.

"There are many reasons why Egyptians don't roof their houses, and there are many factors that contributed to this situation."

"The first is the issue of the wedding room. After marriage, Egyptian parents will build another floor for their children on the basis of the original house as their wedding room, and then they can continue to build up if necessary."

"Secondly, there is the issue of taxation. There is a law in Cairo that as long as it is an unfinished house, there is no need to pay taxes. So in order to save money, many people will choose to take the initiative to leave the house unfinished and never complete it."

"In general, the people at the bottom have no choice but to choose this way of life in order to live. Cairo officials have thought about controlling it. But they also encountered a lot of protests, and in the end they had to let it go. "

Speaking of this, Jackie Chan glanced at Xiaoyu's big mouth again, with an unbelievable look.

As Uncle Xiao Yulong, Jackie Chan will certainly not let go of this good opportunity for education.

Then he said to Xiaoyu: "It's not bad to let you accompany me out for a walk this time. See more of the outside world, so that you can know the real living environment of many people in this world."

"Don't look at those unfinished buildings that look dilapidated, but at least they can have their own houses, and most of them have a job that can make ends meet."

"But in Egypt, there are marginalized people who can't even afford to live in this unfinished house."

"Due to the surge in population, many people who come to Cairo to seek a livelihood need to find shelter. They set their sights on the Karafa cemetery, known as the city of the dead, and live with the dead."

"Originally there would be several rooms next to the mausoleum for relatives to mourn. Those marginalized people moved in and used it as their daily residence, and some even used the coffin as a table."

"This may be unbelievable for the Chinese who have died the most, but it is true."

Listening to Uncle Long's narration, Xiaoyu nodded and looked out of the window, wondering what she was thinking.

It's not just Egypt.

There are similar slums in many countries.

Even the prosperous Xiangjiang is the same.

Xiangjiang has a housing community called squatters.

In the 40s, due to historical reasons, a large number of refugees flooded into Xiangjiang. At that time, the Xiangjiang government was pursuing the principle of free trade, and there was no public housing plan.

Refugees built squatter huts on the edge of the city and on the side of the mountain.

Most of the squatter huts are made of iron sheets and wood. The squatter areas are very crowded and the sanitation is poor. Therefore, fire accidents often occur and infectious diseases breed.

The living conditions of the local people are very poor.

Until 2009, there were more than 20 squatter huts in Xiangjiang, of which there were more than 8 inhabited ones.

Fortunately, with the development of the times, the follow-up situation will get better and better.

See the big from the small.

Then turn our attention to the interior of China. Compared with other countries in the world, China's improvement of the lives of the poor is really not a star.

In just 30 to [-] years, the entire country of China has changed from poverty to prosperity, as if the world has changed.

Until 2023 in later generations, even though there is still some poverty in the vast land of Huaguo, the government's poverty alleviation actions have not stopped.

Many things may not be visible in a short period of time.

But once the time is extended, it can be seen that the development trend of Huaguo is positive as a whole.

Perhaps this is why there are so many people, the more they go abroad, the more patriotic they are.

People with independent thinking ability can find out how lucky they are to be born in China as long as they go abroad for a while.

Tom Mu likes a passage from Teacher Luo Xiang very much: the poorer a person is in knowledge, the more inexplicable courage and inexplicable sense of pride he has.

For the poorer the knowledge, the more absolute what you believe.Because you simply haven't listened to this opposing point of view.

Yelang is arrogant, which is the nature of ignorant and argumentative people.

Jackie Chan chatted with Xiaoyu, following the bumpy bus, a car of passengers finally entered the urban area of ​​Cairo.

Horns rang out all around, and the traffic flow increased significantly.

When the bus arrived at the stop, Jackie Chan carried his backpack and called Tom and the others to get off the bus.

Jackie Chan had also been to Cairo, and he didn't even need to look at the map like the other passengers who got off the bus. He took Tom and the others to check in at the Four Seasons Hotel with ease.

The hotel can exchange Egyptian pounds here, and Jackie Chan changed a little.

Tom also changed a lot.

Now it is the richest, before Jackie Chan earns money, Tom must be able to maintain the big expenses.

As a shit-shoveling officer, Jackie Chan had to let cats take care of him, which was really embarrassing.

However, as the relationship between the two parties gets closer, they actually don't care too much about these minutiae.

Jackie Chan opened a twin room, put away his luggage, took a short rest in the hotel, and then went out again.

Children are full of energy.

After finally coming to Egypt, Xiaoyu couldn't help but want to see the scenery of Egypt.

They stayed in the hotel for a while, and when they came out, it was getting dusk outside.

It happened to be time for dinner.

"I know there is a shop nearby, where the Fur and Tamia are delicious, Xiaoyu, you should like to eat the roasted pigeon there."

The two of them walked the streets of Cairo together. After Jackie Chan and Xiaoyu finished speaking, they turned their eyes to Tom who was looking around, and said with a smile, "Tom, the food here should also suit your taste."

Tom Mu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words. Hearing what Jackie Chan said, he was really looking forward to it.

Egypt is a typical Arab country that believes in Islam, so it is almost impossible to find pork and related foods, and it does not eat any animal offal or undercooked food.

So food like sashimi has no market in Egypt at all.

Local tastes are heavy.Chilli, curry, pepper, etc. are sure to be used in most dishes, and the Egyptians love rich, charred and smooth food.

Tom also likes to eat spicy food, so in Egypt, there is no need to worry too much about starvation because he cannot eat something that suits his taste.

Much better than before in India.

"Hi! How are you!"

At this moment, a very beautiful girl in front suddenly stopped Jackie Chan and the others, and said hello.

Hearing the voice, Tom also turned his head away, and raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the person coming.
