Chapter 861: Curse
In the garden of a medieval Spanish-style castle stands in the southeast of the city of Rio de Janeiro, an elderly woman in pajamas sits on a carved metal rocking chair, her eyes slightly closed, as if she were half asleep.
"Madame, your guest has arrived!" reminded her softly by an old black housekeeper at the garden gate.
"Let them in, Max. Mrs. Simpson turned her head, and the lantern reflected her old cheeks.
After a while, Ye Fan and Dina both walked into the garden.
The old black butler walked up to Mrs. Simpson and reached out to help her.
Seeing the first glance of this in-depth old woman, Ye Fan couldn't help but twist his eyebrows into pimples.
"Welcome, children!" said Mrs. Simpson, the wrinkles on her face were like a mille-feuille, and if she had been smeared with powder, she would have sprinkled it down, she was so old!
"Excuse me, madam, is it any way to your rest?" Dina stepped forward, helped the old woman to the other side, and introduced her at the same time: "This is my friend, his name is Ye Fan, from Huaxia. ”
Ye Fan nodded slightly, his eyes fixed on the old woman.
Mrs. Simpson shook her head and smiled: "No, I will go to God at any time, and I am glad to be able to say a few words to you in the boring time." ”
"Don't say that, ma'am, you'll be fine!" Dina's eyes showed a sour look, Mrs. Simpson was running out, but she couldn't bear to ask for a crystal skull from her.
The old woman took two steps tremblingly: "Don't comfort me, Dina, I have survived until now because of the blessings of Simpson and your father, tell me child, is your father okay?"
"Father, my father has unfortunately passed away...... Dina's eyes turned red when she remembered her father's dying words.
"Ah!" Mrs. Simpson was visibly taken aback, and was stunned for a moment before she digested the news.
"Your father has gone to see his old friends, and it won't be long before I will be reunited with them......" Mrs. Simpson's expression showed a little silence: "I was the only one left in the expedition team back then......"
"I take the liberty of asking, madam, did you encounter anything when you were exploring?" Ye Fan interjected at this time, but Mrs. Simpson looked panicked, her eyes widened, as if she had seen some ghost monster!
"No, no...... I'm leaving...... I'm going to get out of here......" Mrs. Simpson looked around in horror, her chicken-clawed hands clinging to the two beside her, a look of hell.
Ye Fan's words brought back her memories, and the terrifying memories like hell made Mrs. Simpson completely out of shape and extremely emotionally tense.
"Madame, ma'am, this is Rio, and you're out of there!" the black butler cried out in grief, hoping to wake Mrs. Simpson and save her from her misery.
Dina also whispered beside her, "This is not Mexico, ma'am, you are safe!"
But no matter how the two men explained, Mrs. Simpson's eyes seemed to be enchanted, immersed in endless fear, and she clung to them and refused to let go.
"Let me do it. Ye Fan's figure was flickering, standing in front of Mrs. Simpson, his palm touched her forehead and face, Mrs. Simpson immediately stopped the noise, her legs were weak, and she fainted.
"What did you do?" saw Madame unconscious, and Max, the black butler, angrily questioned.
"Just get some sleep, her spirit is in a state of extreme excitement and fear, which is detrimental to her vitality, and she must be quiet. Ye Fan explained slightly, glanced at this ancient castle, "Help her to rest!"
Max is right to think about it, Madame can't stand the stimulation anymore, and she must recuperate.
Setting up Mrs. Simpson, the three of them walked into the castle and settled her in a warmly and comfortably furnished bedroom.
Leaving the bedroom, Ye Fan's eyes fell on the giant color photos on the walls of the hall.
"This is Mr. and Mrs. Simpson?" Pointing to one of the wedding photos, Ye Fan asked Dina softly.
The men and women in the photo are very young and look very matched, the man is dressed in royal dress, handsome and handsome, the woman wears a mesh veil and a velvet court tutu, quite noble and beautiful, compared with the goosebump-haired old woman just now, she is not a person at all!
"Yes! Mr. Simpson is a member of the British royal family, and Ms. Virgin is also from a famous European family, you see, they stand together, like a prince and princess in a fairy tale. Dina looked envious, and soon looked gloomy.
Today's Mrs. Simpson, where is she still like a princess, she is clearly an old woman who is aging to the limit, and her appearance is far beyond her actual age.
"What did they encounter when they were exploring Mexico?" Ye Fan asked.
"Curse!" said Max, the butler, as he stood behind him, telling the frightening truth: "Madame, they were cursed while exploring a pyramid. ”
"Pyramids? You mean there are pyramids in Mexico?"
"Yes, what's the problem?" the black butler spread his hands: "You don't think that only Egypt has pyramids, do you?"
"It's really lonely and unheard......" Ye Fan touched his face, if he hadn't said this, he really didn't know that Mexico also had pyramids.
Dina picked up the topic and said, "The Mayan pyramids in Mexico are much more numerous than in Egypt, mainly in the jungle areas of the Yucatan Peninsula, but in height, they are far less magnificent than the Egyptian pyramids. We happened to avoid that line on our way to the Spice Islands, so you didn't see them. ”
"Wait, are you saying that the pyramid was built by the Mayans? The crystal skull is also a relic of the Mayans, will there be any connection between the two?" Ye Fan thought of a possibility, the crystal skull and the pyramid may have a subtle connection.
"Yes, very likely, because more than half of the crystal skulls were found in the pyramids. Dina folded her arms in contemplation and said, "At that time, the expedition led by Mr. Simpson found six crystal skulls, and unfortunately, only my father and Mr. Simpson survived in the end, and my wife became like this because of the curse, and aged thirty years early. ”
"Cursed? Did you touch something you shouldn't touch?"
"Probably, you know, the pyramids have always been mysterious, whether it's the Egyptian pyramids or the Mayan pyramids, you shouldn't touch them. It is not wise to take what is in the pyramid. Dina sighed, "If it weren't for this, Mrs. Simpson wouldn't be what she is. ”
The most famous rumor of the curse of the pyramids is the curse of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutkamon, who excavated the tomb of the pharaoh and later died, and the scientific community has not been able to solve this historical mystery. Some say it's a super virus hidden in the pyramid, others say they were killed by mosquito bites, but none of these reasons are convincing to the world.
Ye Fan pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then asked, "Then what happened to Mr. Simpson?"
"Mr. Simpson...... "The black butler looked bitter, "and in order to restore his wife's beauty, he went to the Bahamas alone in search of the fountain of youth, and never came back......"
