Starting from the Dragon Tribe

The coconut fell to the ground, and the girl sitting on the rock suddenly looked back and realized that someone was walking over, like a frightened seabird.

He stood up in panic, but failed to stand firm and fell straight from the high rock.

However, she did not have a close contact with Shashi. Someone caught her and she hugged him tightly in panic. It was mutual tenderness.

Eriki put the girl down and looked at the other person with a somewhat dissatisfied look. The girl almost hit Godzilla just now.

"Sorry, thank you."

After the girl stood firm, she first apologized, and then thanked Eriki. She said it in English. At the same time, she was a little surprised. This beautiful sister was also very skilled.

"Hello, I'm Ixichel Jacques. Are you here for a trip?"

Ixichel introduced herself politely, but at the same time she was very confused. There were usually no tourists here, so she would come here to sing at night.

"Hello, Miss Ixichel, my name is Lu Chen."

After Lu Chen introduced himself, he looked at the girl. She was wearing a plaid short-sleeved shirt with local Mayan characteristics. It seemed that she had worn it for many years. It had faded a little and was a little tight, which made people worried. She was breathing hard, with her navel exposed in the middle, and she was wearing a short skirt with gray and white flowers on her lower body. She was completely exotic and full of youthful vitality.

There was no abnormality in the rhythm of the muscles exposed when he fell. It must have been an accident. His physical fitness was within the range of ordinary people, but he was relatively healthy.

Eriyi gently tugged on her sleeves. Lu Chen felt that the judgment was almost done, so he said straight to the point what he had prepared in advance: "We are from the Archaeological Society of the University of Kassel, and our research content this semester is Mayan culture. So I wanted to come here to see the ancient village.”

Ixichel looked at the group of people in front of him. There were Easterners and Westerners, and their hair colors seemed to come from many different countries.

"Mr. Lu, are you here for archeology?"

Ixichel was a little puzzled. These brothers and sisters who were one or two years older than her looked like tourists. She had seen archaeological teams on TV. They all carried very professional tools and were very well-dressed.

"I just arrived in Cancun today. Because of the beautiful scenery here, I had a little too much fun during the day, but I can't stay idle all the time. I heard there is a village here, so I came to have a look."

Lu Chen explained that it was only at this time that he felt a headache. Usually, Brother Chu would do this kind of thing. He was only responsible for cutting the dragon.

Now that he is the executive officer of the war practice class and the role model that the younger brothers and sisters of the Lion Heart Society look up to, he cannot leave these things to others.

Zero actually has very strong analytical skills, but when she communicates... she always seems to be giving orders, and her expression looks very unfriendly.

Lu Mingfei...it's better to let him rot in his stomach if he talks nonsense.

He had just tested Ichichel and mentioned the word "Kassel", but the other party was indifferent.

According to the execution plan of the first two missions, they should have communicated with the local villagers. Kassel College will not be "anonymous" to the outside world, but usually people cannot find out what kind of Kassel College it is. Just university.

"Our village, in fact, your archeology should go to the Tulum ruins. Now we basically have no ancient culture here."

Ixichel suggested and smiled: "But if you want to visit the village, of course we welcome you."

After saying that, Ixichel began to lead the way, and Lu Chen and others walked behind her while paying attention to the surrounding situation.

Since it was already dark, everyone turned on the bright flashlights specially provided by the Equipment Department.

Except for Lu Chen and Eri Yi, everyone else had pistols hidden under their clothes, with two magazines allocated. In addition to Frigga bullets, there were also alchemical live ammunition.

The weapons of Lu Chen and Hui Liyi were also in a state of being airdropped at any time. Above the clouds more than seven kilometers away from here, transport planes from the execution department were circling alternately and periodically.

After all, they had suffered huge losses, and the academy took this mission very seriously and would not let their ace commissioner slay the dragon without a weapon at his disposal.

Ixichel is a lively girl who probably rarely sees outsiders. She talks a lot along the way. In addition to introducing their village, she also asks about some outside things.

From the chat, I learned that this girl dropped out of junior high school. Just because the people in the village for several generations have relied on the sea to eat, do business on the beach, and communicate with people from all over the world, so gradually English became the name of the village. mainstream language.

"Don't you use 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. There was nothing mentioned on TV or in the literature. So stereotypical and scary.

Speaking of this, Ixichel showed a somewhat ashamed look on his face, "Actually, very few people here understand Mayan, especially young people. After all, Mayan cannot be used for eating, doing business on the beach, and tourists don't Can communicate with us in Mayan.”

"Is that so? I thought you could do divination and prophecy."

Lu Mingfei was a little disappointed. The reality was different from the cartoon novels. Everyone had to make a living. Divination predictions could not be exchanged for food, and they would be regarded as liars.

"Hehe, if this gentleman wants to try divination, he 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 coaxing children to play."

Ixichel led the way and talked as he walked. The total distance was less than one kilometer and was quickly completed.

The village was a bit dilapidated. There was a drooping wooden sign hanging on an old tree, with ancient Mayan characters engraved on it, which Lu Chen couldn't understand.

The interior of the village is basically made up of wooden houses. They have a certain age and have been in the coastal area for many years. They look a little damp and old. There are not many people in the village because it is not "off duty" time yet.

"Dark Sun, this is the name of this village."

Ling explained to Lu Chen in a low voice in Chinese, which made Lu Chen glance at Ling. Unexpectedly, Brother Chu was not here and he had other encyclopedias.

Ixichel, who was walking in front, looked back at Zero. She couldn't understand Chinese, but she was just curious about what these archeology students were secretly communicating.

"This is Granny Keya's small stall. It is said that they are ancient sacrificial supplies and have magical powers. If you are interested, you can also buy them from Granny Keya."

Ixichel introduced some things in the village, well... most of the time it was a business promotion.

Although she was very grateful to the beautiful red-haired sister for saving her, she was still frightened by these people and slipped down.

Life is not easy. Young people in the village are very smart and know how to make money.

"Godzilla, look at this."

Eriki picked up a wooden carving of a giant panda. She always liked such cute-looking things.

"Ixichel, how much does this cost?"

Lu Chen looked at the wood carvings and secretly complained in his heart. Even if his academic performance was not good, he still knew that there were no giant pandas in the area where the Mayans lived in history. Is this a sacrificial item? What a liar!

But...since Eriyi likes her, he is also willing to be taken advantage of.

"Maehye, one hundred dollars!"

Ixichel turned around with a smile and extended his hand, not trying to rip off customers maliciously. When Granny Keya had time to go to the stall, she would ask those Americans for thousands of dollars depending on the situation.

Lu Chen nodded, and Zero consciously took out one hundred dollars in cash from his small bag. Many places here do not support credit cards, so cash is necessary.

"It's so easy to make money."

Lu Mingfei complained softly next to Ling. He was not a fool. The giant panda wood carving had magical powers or something. He felt that it was insulting people's intelligence and could only deceive wealthy Americans.

The Mayans in the village are also very enthusiastic, especially after seeing how refreshing it is to pay in pocket change, the thick stack of bills when opening the wallet is even more dazzling.

"Ixichel, today was very productive. There is a future as a tour guide."

A dark-skinned middle-aged man smiled and greeted Ixichel in Mayan.

"Are you a tour guide?"

Zero asked, making Ixichel stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that some of these people could understand Mayan. You must know that Uncle Mok's Mayan was not standard at all, and the accurate meaning was actually heard. ?

Ixichel spread his hands with some embarrassment, "I'm just making a living. I don't have a good education, so I can only work as a tour guide and run errands."

She angrily complained in her heart that everything on TV was a lie. Who said that the top students in archeology were just flower pots who could only guess at the meaning of Mayan characters and could not understand the words?

In fact, Ixichel's understanding is not wrong. Even professors who specialize in Mayan culture in this world may be able to read the text, but they cannot understand the Mayan text, because pronunciation and listening practice require materials and environment. , this is just the opposite of the Mayans.

Many modern Mayans can still speak Mayan, but they cannot understand Mayan, which is an interesting phenomenon.

Zero didn't just learn Mayan in front of the battle, but learned it very early at the request of his boss. This is the self-cultivation of a tool man.

“Is life hard here?”

Eriki asked doubtfully. Her English was becoming more and more standard. Senior Sister Miranla often communicated and tutored her in English.

At this time, she looked at this dilapidated village, which was completely different from the bustling beach on the other side. This was the first time she had seen such a place.

Although she had been locked up in a small house for many years, she had always lived a wealthy life, so she could not understand the meaning of money to the poor, nor did she know what the lives of the people at the bottom were like.

"It's not too difficult. Since the tourism industry developed, our life has actually become much better. We used to rely on agriculture and fishery, but now we only need to go to the beach to cheat..."

Ixichel paused and showed a playful yet awkward smile, "... Just sell things."

Hello! You clearly just wanted to lie! ?

Does it really matter if you act like this as a tour guide? ?

Lu Mingfei wanted to complain, but Senior Brother Lu didn't say anything, so he didn't dare to overstep his bounds.

"I heard that the Mexican government has allocated a lot of funds to support this place. Why not renovate the village?"

Lu Chen asked.

Ixichel sighed, "How can we get the government funding? We haven't even used up the money for the development of scenic spots outside."

Then Ixichel showed a nice smile again, "But we are still very grateful to the country. After all, relying on the scenic spots for food is much better than before, without the fatigue of farming and fishing."

She pointed to the dilapidated village, "Actually, the village is not as poor as you think. It's just that the old people are unwilling to demolish and rebuild. It has always been like this."

She led a few people to an empty house. "In the past, there were more people in the village, but after many families made money, they moved to the city to work. Granny Keya said they were all traitors, but I I think it’s okay. If I make enough money, I will move to the city and I also want to study.”

"Why don't your parents let you go to school first?"

Lu Mingfei was a little surprised. Ixichel seemed to be less than seventeen years old, but he was already running for a living. When he was seventeen, he was still hanging around at Shilan Middle School.

Mentioning this, Ixichel's mood dropped, "I don't have parents..."

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

Lu Mingfei was a little at a loss, felt sorry for the girl, and at the same time began to reflect on his previous life.

He glanced at Senior Brother Lu. Senior Brother Lu had no parents, but he had managed to become the ace of Kassel College. The girl in front of him probably started working as a tour guide for tourists very early, just to earn a living.

He had no worries about food and clothing, his parents just went abroad, and his uncle and aunt took care of him. He was indeed not miserable enough, but he imagined himself to be miserable.

"It's okay. Grandma Keya raised me, and everyone in the village treats me very well. I feel like my life is very happy."

Ixichel added silently in his heart, "I am more happy today when I catch the enemy."

"Ixichel, has anything strange happened in your village recently?"

Lu Chen looked around the village and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. He made eye contact with Eriki, and Eriki, who had a keener sense of intuition, didn't feel anything was wrong.

Although he had learned a lot from the past on the beach today, he still wanted to ask this girl again.

"Strange thing?"

Ixichel tilted his head. He felt that you were a little strange. Could it be that he had heard some folk rumors to investigate the expedition?

"What do you mean?"

Lu Chen stared into Ixichel's eyes, "For example, are there... any missing persons?"

"Missing?"

Ixichel was puzzled, "No, our village is not big. I know hundreds of people in the village. Everyone is here."

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 puzzled look on the other party's face didn't seem like he was faking it, and coupled with the investigation during the day, it seemed like the people here really didn't know about the disappearance.

Or... they used to know, but now, they have forgotten.

Ixichel did not stop leading the way. When they came to the end of the village, there was a magnificent building on the cliff facing the sea.
