Chapter 287 Najib Mahfouz(1/2)

Kitahara and Kaede drank a little wine that night.

Not to the point of fragmentation, but the traveler became somewhat... crazy after drinking alcohol? In short, he booked a hot air balloon ride after getting off the boat, and sat on the Nile River in a daze for an hour. In the end, he almost

I got lost in a Cairo hotel while sneezing.

When his mind finally came to his senses, he was already staring at his horned viper in his room at the Fairmont Hotel in Cairo.

"I asked you why you slept so dull last night."

Beiyuan and Feng helplessly propped up their bodies with one hand, stretched out the other hand, and allowed the snake coiled on their chests to crawl up. They tapped each other's forehead with their fingers, and their voices were filled with the tiredness of being half asleep and half awake.

His indulgence: "As long as you are here, I will be fine without any trouble."

"Hiss." The snake felt that it was innocent, so it got into Beihara and Feng's quilt, rolled its body into a ball, and buried its head in it peacefully.

Vipers are a bit lazy most of the time and rarely crawl around, but due to their protective colors, various animals always inadvertently step into their territory or step on their tails.

Kitahara and Kaede also knew the temper of this snake. After squeezing each other's tail, they did not disturb the snake. Instead, they climbed out of bed, turned on the computer and began to search for reliable zoos near Cairo.

His head still hurts a little, but it doesn't stop him from searching and selecting the simplest information. Moreover, the zoo in Egypt is somewhat unreliable. In his memory, in his previous life, there was a Cairo Zoo that painted black and white stripes on donkeys to pretend to be zebras.

farce.

And in my memory, this place seems to have not had any equipment updated in the previous life, and it is also a bit old...

Kitahara and Kaede hurriedly glanced at Wikipedia and felt that from the introduction, they could be said to be involved in the most basic animal enrichment, animal psychological care, animal disease research, species breeding research, or the zoo's own environmental protection and animal protection science popularization

It's quite an excellent level.

Well, in short, let’s go take a look first and then talk about it?

Kitahara and Feng took a look and decided to go to the physical inspection first, so they quickly booked tickets online.

As the zoo is mostly built with state funds, you can buy a ticket for five Egyptian pounds, which is about four yuan in the standard currency of flower growers.

"The location is in the center of Cairo...doesn't this really have any impact?"

The traveler's eyes lingered on the description of the geographical location for a few seconds. Finally, he muttered, switched to another page with the mouse, and continued to check other information.

If any of my friends were here, they would laugh at the fact that today's travelers are as worried as an old mother who is looking for a partner for her daughter.

"The process is roughly like this. Today we will go to the Cairo Zoo and take a hot air balloon ride tomorrow. We can also spend some time visiting the Egyptian market or visiting the Egyptian Museum."

Kitahara and Kaede sorted out the information they had obtained, talked to themselves about their next itinerary, and drew a simple tour route on their map.

Well, it's perfect.

The traveler closed his laptop with satisfaction, and planned to go to the private kitchen provided in this room to make a simple breakfast after washing up: there happened to be a hand-cranked coffee machine and special coffee brewing equipment, so he could prepare it for himself.

Make an extra cup of coffee.

"But I still have to buy some live mice...it's really troublesome to raise snakes."

Beihara and Feng glanced at their quilts, smiled helplessly, got up, cleaned themselves up, and made breakfast by the way.

Breakfast is a very simple toast with fried eggs and sizzling beef patties, as well as a well-fried grilled red sausage, fresh cherry tomatoes and a small box of blueberry jam.

Paired with a cup of coffee, it's simple and perfect.

The only question is, why is there a clothes dryer in the kitchen?

Kitahara and Feng held toast in their mouths, looked at the dryer a few times with some doubts, and finally gave up thinking.

Maybe this is a local specialty?

He took a bite of toast, turned around, opened the refrigerator, and checked what was inside.

After looking at the divided areas of the freezing and refrigeration spaces, he nodded with satisfaction and decided to buy something to cook Chinese cuisine when he came back.

Before going out, he "clicked" and locked the laptop in the laptop-specific safe in the room; at the same time, he took the snake out of the quilt and stuffed it into a hard plastic box filled with sand, with a heating device underneath.

Also turn it on to simulate the Sahara environment and make it a little more comfortable.

"Should I go? If someone comes, don't make any noise. The horned viper is still very scary."

After confirming that the sign was "Do Not Disturb", Kitahara and Kaede smiled at the snake in the room. Regardless of whether the other party heard it or not, they waved and closed the door: "See you in the evening! I will bring you fresh food.

return!"

"Hiss." The snake vomited a message, seeming to respond, but soon hid itself in the hot sand, looking very comfortable and lazy.

——You don’t know what your new home will look like?

It thought so, moved its head lazily, and then took a deep nap.

The Cairo Zoo, also known as the Giza Zoo, is located on the west bank of the Nile River. It was once the coral garden of the Egyptian king. Now visitors can still see the splendid rockery made of coral mined from the Red Sea.

——The above are all official statements, please refer to the actual product.

Kitahara and Kaede glanced at the entry map taken by their mobile phones, then looked blankly at the old equipment in front of them, and couldn't help but slowly type a question mark.

Theoretically speaking, this should be a zebra... well, a zebra pavilion, there should be zebras in it. Of course, this does not mean that there are no zebras, in fact there are.

"But isn't it too crude?"

Kitahara and Kaede looked suspiciously at the very short and perfunctory fence, which was just the same height as the zebra's head, and then looked at the zebras who were huddled together and looking at themselves affectionately, and finally exhaled helplessly.

tone.

He stretched out his hand and successfully touched the stretched-out heads of the zebras. He patted them carefully and then withdrew his hand.

Zebras are generally between 1.2 and 1.4 meters tall at the shoulder. Including their heads, they are about the same height as a normal person. It is not difficult to reach out and touch the railings at this height.

Facts have proved that the railings here do not have any invisible current or glass curtain wall that prevents people from having "close contact" with animals, and there is nothing that is responsible for stopping zebras from sticking their heads out of the railings.

The traveler took back his hand and fell into deep thought.

——If he remembered correctly, zebras, like horses, actually have a move to push their hooves backward, which is so powerful that it can kick a lion to death.

And if the back half of the body is raised, the hooves may be raised higher than the zebra's head.

"Huh, is this a safety hazard?"

Beihara and Feng pinched their eyebrows helplessly, but they were not too scared. Instead, they patted their necks with some distress to drive away the bugs flying around each other.

The group of zebras were obviously not hostile to him, and if he had to turn around first to use this trick, he could react in time and move away to the side.

"Why are there only three of you zebras?"

He took a closer look and felt that he should pinch the philtrum rather than the center of the eyebrows. He sighed a little for this social animal: "And it's obviously not a Grevy's zebra. How come your venue is so dry?

It doesn’t even feel like a grassland.”

He understands the language of the universe, and can also understand a few words expressed by zebras in immature language and consciousness, which makes people even more unbearable to watch.

"It's so small... I don't like it."

One of the zebras just grumbled, took the initiative to rub its mouth against the railing, and kept kicking its hooves anxiously.

Kitahara and Feng stared at the anxious zebra in silence for a while, then finally sighed and turned around to leave.

In 2008, newspapers reported that the Cairo Zoo was withholding rations from camels.

When the traveler was walking on the road, he saw a green peacock strolling. This beautiful creature was preening its feathers. Kitahara and Kaede

After watching for a while, his eyes met the head of this animal that could fly around freely and suddenly raised its head.

"oh oh--"

It made a not-so-pleasant cry, and then nodded its head like a chicken and walked to the side, its gorgeous tail feathers trailing behind it, making it look graceful and beautiful.

But in August it will start to lose its hair, and then enter a state of depression and not eating...

Kitahara and Kaede looked at the peacock's leisurely posture and couldn't help laughing. They sat casually on the grass and watched the peacock fly up from the ground with a "swipe" and land on the short shelf almost gliding.

above.

It turned its head and looked down at Beihara and Feng. Then, as if it finally looked at this person clearly, it flew down again and took the initiative to pace slowly over.

"Oh~"

It yelled again, its eyes looked sincerely and expressed its love without any concealment, and the sapphire color on its long neck shone movingly in the sunlight.

Kitahara and Kaede also looked at it in a friendly manner, and did not try to touch each other's feathers. They just maintained this action and were careful not to frighten the bird.

At this moment, a zoo staff member came over and shouted in surprise:

"Hey, this tourist! It seems like you like peacocks very much!"

He ran over quickly, dressed in colorful colors, and winked at him in a funny way before Beihara and Feng spoke:

"Sir, do you want to see the peacocks in full bloom? Here we only need a tip of three Egyptian pounds to see the extremely precious peacocks in full bloom! You must know that many people have been to the zoo several times and there is nothing like this.

Luck. Especially since the peacock will lose its feathers in a while and you won’t be able to see it even if you want to.”

"Well."

Beitahara and Feng were stunned for a moment by a lot of words spoken by the person who suddenly appeared in front of them. They turned their heads and looked at the blue peacock who suddenly became alert. They frowned with some vigilance and stretched out their hands to block the peacock's sight. Their tone

He declined politely: "I think it looks good like this."

The staff member raised an eyebrow.

He turned his head and suddenly whistled very loudly. The loud sound startled the peacocks next to Beihara and Kaede. Almost immediately, he spread his tail feathers and outlined a beautiful cloth in the space.

A gorgeous semicircle full of "eyes".

The "eyes" transition from the dazzling blue on the outside to the deep and elegant dark blue. They are arranged in a dense and dense manner, as gorgeous and mysterious as the patterns on a Persian disk. The surrounding feathers set off a spreading and growing flower branch.

beauty.
