"It was you who killed him!" The woman with disheveled hair came to the door with her thugs. She was still well-mannered, with a black veil covering her face. Even if she uttered hateful words, most people would forgive her for her beauty. .

"I'm sorry, but I really don't know about this matter." Ashe Baba looked haggard, he really respected his brother, making this expression attracted a lot of sympathy, and more people felt worthless for him , After all, Kasim has gone too far these years.

"Oh? You really don't know?" Kasim's wife seemed to be smiling, her face was blurred by the black veil, "If you really don't know, where did you get that gold coin from?! "

A gold coin was lying in her hand, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with the poor Ali Baba. Ali Baba's face changed slightly, and he did not expect that the gold coin would fall into the hands of Kasim's wife.

"Also, where did you get the money to buy the store? Alibaba is recognized as a good person, but also recognized as a poor person!" Kasim's wife is sharp-tongued and comes from a wealthy family. She has a good education, although the education Favorable provisions are often used by her to find fault.

"This..." Alibaba was not a sharp-tongued person, and he was at a loss for words immediately.Kasim's wife seemed to have grasped some huge trick, with calculations in her eyes, and she was about to say something when a child's voice cut off her words.

"—that is my gift."

Arthur sold the camel, and suddenly he had a lot of money, which was enough to support him on the next long journey.Although it would be more convenient for him to use the treasure house, Ali Baba treated him very well, and he might as well leave those things to this good man.

Arthur actually walked a little far this time. There are so many camels that a family can’t afford. He sold them as he walked. path of.

Arthur was leaving, yes, but never in such a hurry.

So he nodded and walked back, and suddenly saw several cars coming from the mainland, a fence-like structure, filled with people like cans, with iron chains on their hands and feet, and numbness all over their faces.

slave.

Arthur's eyes flickered slightly. He didn't have much sympathy. In this world, slavery is a recognized system. Even King Solomon didn't think about changing it when he was alive. It must be a system suitable for the current era. , why should he worry too much.

The slave cart passed by him slowly, and when the slave merchant saw his extravagant robes, he didn't dare to make a fuss, for fear that the slave cart would be dirty and stain the big man's clothes, and it was three meters away from him.Arthur just watched the slave car pass by so quietly, his right eye was calm.

There was a little black-haired girl in the slave car, who poked her head out curiously when passing by him, and the slave owner yelled loudly.

"Meljana! Put your head in!"

The little girl named Maljana still looked at Arthur stubbornly, with clear envy in her eyes.

"Little brother in white clothes, you are like the son of a saint in the scriptures."

Arthur raised his eyebrows. The name Meljana impressed him deeply. In the story of Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves, without her, even if Ali Baba got the treasure, he would not be able to keep it. The bandit leader is not an easy lamp. ...

With this thought in mind, Arthur made up his mind, when the slave master swung his whip to teach Morgana, he also raised the camel whip, and the whip fell on a point on the slave master's wrist, his hand numb, and the whip fell away. out.

Before the slave owner got angry, Arthur said slowly, "I want to buy this little girl."

Arthur seems to be even younger than Meljana, but he himself does not have this awareness, the corner of the slave owner's mouth twitched, for the sake of the other party's strong aura, he reluctantly believed that Arthur was not looking for He is happy, but the price has to be raised a little bit. What kind of experience can a child have in buying and selling?

Ten minutes later, the slave owner felt so remorseful about his stupid idea that he wanted to bite off his tongue.

"Slaves trained by the pagan kingdom?" Arthur mocked, "Is your Excellency really familiar with the pagan kingdom? It seems to be in the opposite direction of your progress. Could it be that these slaves are of exceptionally high quality, so they have to be pulled over to talk to the slaves?" Do you compare the top products in China?"

The slave owner broke out in a cold sweat, and failed to act coercively. He was forced to agree to sell Maljana to Arthur at a very low price.

"This girl is very smart, which is a good thing and a bad thing." The slave owner instructed out of professional ethics, "Chain her more often, or she will run away."

Arthur pretended to nod in agreement, jumped off the camel, and stretched out his hand to the dirty Meljana, beckoning her to use his own strength to climb up the back of the camel.

Meljana was taken aback for a moment, apparently she did not expect to be treated like this, and then, a smile spread on her face, her first glance was indeed right, a child riding a camel in the halo of the setting sun, A true son of a saint.

"Are we going on a trip?" Maljana was extremely excited since she and Arthur shared a ride together, chirping, "What is the slave country? I've never heard of it."

Most of the time, Arthur would not answer questions, and would only respond with a few sentences on slightly important matters, such as the "Nation of Slaves".

"Don't be curious about that kind of place, Meljana." Arthur recalled the records in the book, and a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. This was a rare time for him to show such emotions.

"It's a filthy place of sin."

Meljana was smart, and hearing that Arthur didn't like it there, she instinctively changed the subject.

The two children returned to Rukahalli after it was completely dark, and Maljana was already a little dozed off. She carefully held Arthur's sleeve and followed him step by step to tie the camel.Arthur saw a few camels outside with gorgeous saddles, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

I'm afraid it's Kasim's wife who is here. I don't know if Ali Baba and his wife can stand it.

"...Alibaba is recognized as a good man, but also recognized as a poor man!" From a long distance, Arthur could hear a woman's shrill voice, followed by Alibaba's obviously weak explanation.So before he finished listening, Arthur decisively kicked the door open.

He can bluff the vicious slave owner who is good at knowing people, and of course he can also bluff the people present. What's more, his nobility is inherent in his bones, and the robes of Wumu Dangong have created a lot of momentum for him.

The young child's eyes were cold, and he scanned the faces of everyone present one by one, and said calmly and arrogantly: "Alibaba's property is my gift, and he provided me with a place to stay. Still deserves the award.”

The condescending remarks and the tone of reason made Kasim's wife have a bad guess.

Could this be the prince of some kingdom...

Kasim's wife has always imagined too much, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that this was the case. The prince who was in trouble by accident was picked up by Ali Baba. In order to thank him, he gave Ali Baba a large sum of money, but the selfish Ali Baba never thought that he was pitiful. The elder brother even boasted in front of his elder brother that he had discovered the treasure house, just to let Kassim find it, and then encounter accidents!

Kasim's wife burst into tears. She firmly believed that her guess was correct, but who would believe her?The truth is always held by a few people!

She considers herself a weak woman, she can't gain the upper hand verbally, and she doesn't dare to let others attack Arthur, so she can only retreat in resentment.Arthur watched her leave, confirming that the woman hadn't given up.

So what if you don't give up?She should be more concerned about her own fate. It is very difficult for a woman who lost her husband to hold on to her own family business. Secretly, she does not know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this newly widowed woman.She's mean, doesn't have many friends, and is completely alone.

After handing Maljana to Ali Baba's wife, Arthur briefly explained Maljana's life experience. Ali Baba's wife immediately took pity on her and took the child with her to take care of her, not treating her as a slave at all.

In this way, Arthur will feel more at ease when he leaves.

The days of getting along are always short. Although he is nostalgic for the warmth of Ali Baba and his wife, Arthur still decides to go to the next town. Before that, there is an episode.

In order to keep the family business, Kasim's wife agrees to the pursuit of the city lord after much consideration. However, the city lord enjoys countless beauties and pursues her only for money.In the end, this mean woman had no money, and Ali Baba softened her heart and occasionally gave her some assistance.

But some people are always dissatisfied. Kasim's wife is dissatisfied with the status quo. She comes to the door every three days, implicitly expressing her wish to serve Ali Baba's wife together, so angry that Ali Baba's wife almost fainted. Maljana responded in a timely manner. After settling her hostess, she grabbed a machete and drove Kasim's wife out.

After Arthur came back, he took Ali Baba's wife's pulse, and suddenly found that——

"Mr. Ali Baba, madam is three months pregnant."

Ali Baba was stunned for a moment, followed by ecstasy. He was so happy that he wanted to hug his wife and turn around a few times, but he was afraid of hurting him, so he walked around rubbing his hands next to him, and kept asking Arthur for precautions. .Arthur was a little annoyed by the question, so he copied a piece of paper to him.

Meljana watched this warm scene with a smile on the side. She was still very young, but she was quick in her work, smart and witty. People from far and near envied Alibaba's good luck. Not only did her business grow bigger and bigger, but her wife was gentle. Virtuous, even the maids are worth ten.

Ali Baba was talking warmly to his wife, and Meljana walked out with Arthur. Girls always grow faster than boys at this age, and she is half a head taller than Arthur.

"Mr. Arthur?" Meljana felt that Arthur was extremely silent today, so she asked subconsciously.

Arthur was going to go.

He fumbled in his pocket and took out a letter.

"Meljana, I believe you, this letter is given to Mr. Ali Baba, and he is asked to open it in a year."

Arthur wrote the new secret language of the treasure house on the letter. For insurance, he also used special ink, which would only appear after a certain period of time.

"Also..." Arthur's expression was a little soft, "Forget about the things I commented on the slaves before, that's not my intention. It's just that if I don't say that, the slave owner will take the opportunity to profit from it."

Of course, Meljana could understand Arthur, but she didn't expect Arthur to remember this incident at all, and she explained it to her seriously.

"Read more books, I have quite a few hidden in my room, you can read them all."

"Meljana, slaves don't stay slaves forever."

"Mr. and Mrs. Ali Baba are good people, please take good care of them."

Meljana's tears could no longer be stopped. She watched in the night, a child who was a little shorter than her turned onto a camel, and the dry food and water that had been prepared earlier were on the camel's back.He must have been planning to leave long ago, Meljana thought, all she could do was bow deeply in the direction Arthur left.

Be careful on the road, and have a good trip, Mr. Arthur!
