The conflict between Palestine and Israel has a long history, and this year has continued. On June 19, the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) and other factions and Israel agreed to a six-month ceasefire, but who knows, six days later, a blast occurred that killed five Hamas fighters.

Anne-Hathaway said that she came from Tel Aviv this time, so even though Evan-Bell saw Anne-Hathaway standing in front of him intact now, she couldn't help but be shocked, the first thought. Just asking, "Did you experience that explosion?"

"No." Anne Hathaway swallowed the pasta in her mouth, the sweetness and freshness of the seafood melted in her mouth, and the food was unexpectedly delicious, which made Anne Hathaway couldn't help but look at her Wen Yibel glanced, "This is a unique skill." Anne Hathaway raised the plate in her hand and smiled at Evan Yibel, "When the explosion happened, I was already in Bursa. .

Bursa, a famous ancient city in northwestern Turkey, dates back to the Byzantine Empire.

After getting the confirmed answer, Evan-Bell's heart dropped back to the original place. Although Anne-Hathaway has always been boyish, but because of family reasons, she has never been able to break free. This time Anne...Hathaway chose to give herself a long vacation and then backpacking. Evan Bell couldn't help but worry, especially when she went to such an unstable area in Israel. But I worry about it, Evan Bell will not try to dissuade Anne Hathaway like others, because he is a restless person himself. When Anne Hathaway was in Israel, he went to the same A trip to troubled Libya.

"Otushman, the Silk Road." Evan and Bell apparently also went to Bursa, the capital during the Otushman Empire, and one of the main cities near the western end of the Silk Road.

Anne Hathaway laughed, she knew that Evan Bell must know about these places, "I went to the ruins of a mosque and two ancient tombs, both of which were severely damaged by the earthquake in the past year. Destruction, but the pattern decoration inside is really amazing."

"Hehe, if you are interested in this aspect, Baghdad will definitely make you excited. When you go to Cairo, you won't just go to the pyramids, will you?" Evan Bell has also been to many places, and his reading The amount is definitely an astonishing number, so it is a set of these things, and in fact, Evan Bell has not had the opportunity to go to Baghdad yet. "In fact, the pyramids have now become a tourist attraction, but they have lost the cultural flavor. I prefer to walk along the Ganges all the way through ordinary people's homes, especially those ordinary courtyards without any traces of tourist decoration, retaining the most original flavor. Rishi taste."

"Did you still buy antiques there?" Anne Hathaway seemed to have thought of something, and immediately said excitedly, those eyes flashing with excitement, obviously very eager to get Evan's Bell answered in the affirmative.

Evan-Bell put down the fork in his hand, and looked at Anne...Hathaway, suddenly realized, "Oh, God, don't you really believe it's an antique, right?" Anne...Hathaway Wei suddenly lowered her head in annoyance, obviously Evan Bell was not fooled. This made Evan... Bell burst out laughing, "Fool, even if it's really an antique, think about it, there are so many tourists, how could it be our turn? Tell me, how much money did you get scammed."

"One thousand?" Evan Bell looked at Anne and Hathaway raised her index finger and asked, Anne and Hathaway stomped their feet and raised another finger angrily, "Two thousand? Anne Hathaway nodded gloomily, this time Evan... Bell immediately laughed out loud, "Stupid boy, you have to remember it in the future. There is a pie in the world, but don't be too too greedy."

Anne... Hathaway grinned at Evan Bell and whispered, "How do I know, that mistress looks so kind."

"Is it an antique small plate with exquisite patterns on it?" Evan asked, which made Anne... Hathaway immediately frowned, "How do you know? Did you also get deceived? ?"

Evan-Bell smiled smugly, "No, I see through that scam."

There is a saying among backpackers that if you go to Egypt and you are not cheated once, you will not be in Egypt. People joke that there are only two kinds of English speakers in Egypt, the tourist industry and the liars. In Egypt, scammers are everywhere, making people hard to guard against, and the constant bombardment of fatigue will sooner or later become a trick.

Since Egypt is one of the four ancient civilizations, antiques are an indispensable part of this country. Who knows if they can pick them up once a day, it will be worth it. Therefore, there are always countless tourists in the antique shops large and small in Cairo. However, with the development of the Internet in recent years, people have become more and more vigilant about Shi Dong stores, and new types of scams have emerged.

There are countless ordinary families along the Ganges River. Cairo has also opened up a special tourist route. It is said that it is specially opened. In fact, it is a designated area. The houses in this area can be visited. If the host is at home, you can not only enter the courtyard to visit, you can even have a lunch at the host's house, which can be regarded as an experience of the life of the locals. This way of travel has been recognized by many people. It is not too impetuous as a tourist attraction, but it has a unique flavor.

Anne... There are actually more than one farm family that Hathaway was deceived by. Judging from the information that Evan Bell exchanged from the donkey friends, there are at least three. Such farmhouses are basically simple and kind locals, full of amiable smiles, and warmly welcome the arrival of tourists. When the guests are drinking water or enjoying snacks, the host will try to make the guests pay attention to a small plate. Evan As far as Bell knows, there is also a hookah that is also a prop for repeated crimes. This plate is used by the owner as ordinary tableware, and is placed on the table at will, but anyone who cares a little about antiques will notice whether they know it or not.

The so-called picking up leaks is actually the case: ordinary people's homes, inadvertently discovered, there is no store packaging, no door-to-door sales, no deliberate scams, as if everything was discovered by good luck. Therefore, most people will tentatively ask the owner about the origin of the object. The owner naturally has a set of stories prepared, such as family heirlooms or found in old furniture, or found in the ground. Then it depends on whether the tourists are fooled. Once they ask the price, the owner will definitely refuse, thinking that it is worthless at all, and thinks it can be given to tourists. After a tug of war, the owner is unwilling to sell it. So the price will get higher and higher. The final transaction price depends on the tourists.

After the tourists are satisfied to buy the item and leave, the host will take out a new one from the box and put it in its original place again, until the old trick is repeated. Although their method is to wait for the rabbit, but the success rate is relatively high, and the wholesale price of an item is only a few euros, and in the end, it is exchanged for hundreds of thousands of times the profit, and the profit is not lost.

Obviously, Anne Hathaway was fooled, "How did you see through it?" Anne Hathaway couldn't believe it, because in that kind of environment, there was a simple and kind master who really made Anne Hathaway Wei was not wary. If it was in an antique store or a roadside stall, Anne Hathaway would not have been so careless.

Evan Bell chuckled, "Because I don't know much about antiques, I didn't make any bids at all." It's not that Evan Bell was too cautious, it's just that he was not interested in antiques and traveled a lot. I know too much about this kind of deception. In fact, in cities such as Rome, Paris, and Cairo, which are very densely populated with tourists, the deceptions of scammers are endless. They do not target the locals, but all stay in tourist attractions with many tourists. The main target of tourists.

Evan Bell once almost had his backpack stolen in the Colosseum in Rome, but he was lucky to detect it in time. At that time, after Evan-Bell took the backpack into his arms, the thief not only did not retreat, but instead warned Evan-Bell not to be public with his eyes. Within Evan-Bell's field of vision, at least four people were ready to move, as long as he opened his mouth Publicity, presumably they will flock to the king In such a tourist city, whether it is a thief or a liar, this is the case, repeated prohibitions.

Looking at the depressed Anne Hathaway, Evan Bell bit the steak and felt very happy, "Don't be too sad, it's nothing, you were only cheated of two thousand dollars, nothing. In Cairo , I haven't been deceived, I have lost a little memory." Evan... Bell's words made Anne Hathaway look over, keenly capturing the deep meaning of Evan-Bell's words. Evan Bell did not deny this time, "I was deceived in Cairo."

"Tell me, tell me!" Anne Hathaway was immediately excited, and she became restless in front of the Italian on the plate, causing Evan Bell's eyes to stare round and round, "Be careful of the plate, be careful!"

There is a temple next to the Pyramid of Repentance, right? "Evan Bell said, Anne Hathaway looked over excitedly, "I was deceived in the Temple of the Wasteland next to the Step Pyramid. "

"There? Are there any liars?" Anne Hathaway immediately showed a look of contempt, eager to get down and laugh at Evan Bell. "I went there too, and I didn't encounter any liar."

But Evan Bell was not in a hurry at all, "Are you sure?" This calm look made Anne Hathaway's expression instantly freeze, causing Evan Bell to laugh.
