Chapter 836 Guardian
Although Nie Yao was the only one who could communicate with them, Li Jinxing and the two bodyguards would occasionally gesture with their hands, and the Aboriginal couple could understand.
The group sat together, drinking hot water and eating the food that Nie Yao had purchased earlier. The atmosphere was particularly harmonious.
The two children were full and became a little braver. They sat next to Nie Yao and Li Jinxing with their heads tilted, looking at them with a pair of bright eyes, their little faces full of innocence and curiosity.
Seeing this, Li Jinxing couldn't help but touch the two children's heads and asked hesitantly, "Are these two children studying? What school do they go to?"
Nie Yao translated Li Jinxing's words to the couple. They shook their heads and explained honestly, "They are still young, and my family has always lived deep in the desert. There is no school for them to go to..."
After hearing this, Nie Yao couldn't help but feel a little regretful and briefly explained this to Li Jinxing.
Li Jinxing frowned slightly and said disapprovingly, "Even though the conditions are difficult, we should still create an environment for children to study. Didn't you seek help from the locals? Or maybe just leave this desert and take the children to live somewhere where they can study?"
Nie Yao tactfully translated Li Jinxing's words to them. After listening to their explanation, she sighed softly to Li Jinxing, "They said that there are people who want to help them, but their ancestors left them a mission, asking them to stay in the desert for generations, to guard the secrets they are supposed to protect. This has been the case for thousands of years..."
"This is absolutely ridiculous! Even if it's really the order of our ancestors, after all these years, we can't continue to be so stupid. We should consider our descendants!"
Li Jinxing couldn't help but yelled angrily. Nie Yao knew that he meant well, so she could only translate it for him tactfully and then conveyed Li Jinxing's meaning with a smile.
"He's willing to sponsor your children to go to school. I hope you'll consider it. You can't stay in this deep desert forever!"
After Nie Yao finished speaking, the couple still shook their heads and firmly rejected Nie Yao and Li Jinxing's proposal.
Li Jinxing was so angry that his face turned pale, but this Aboriginal couple was really friendly and saved their lives, so he couldn't get angry directly and could only drink water in silence.
Seeing that the atmosphere had become somewhat awkward, Nie Yao had to change the subject and talk to the aboriginal couple about why they got lost in the desert.
She did not hide her expertise and even took out a brand new notebook and two pens from her backpack and gave them to the couple's children, hoping that they would realize the importance of education.
The two adorable children excitedly began to write and draw with the pens Nie Yao had given them...
"I still don't understand why someone is chasing you?" the Aboriginal couple couldn't help but ask curiously.
Nie Yao sighed softly and explained with a wry smile, "Actually, this story begins with a cultural relic..."
She just briefly mentioned the ancient artifacts that she and Li Jinxing donated to the Egyptian authorities, which were probably related to Queen Hatshepsut. The indigenous couple suddenly became excited.
Nie Yao was also a little confused when she saw this. Before she could ask more questions, the husband stood up and went to the back. He carefully found a papyrus painting and brought it to Nie Yao. He pointed at the painting on it and asked, "Is this the cultural relic?"
