my days in ancient egypt

18

Under the scorching sun, a small team of more than 100 people has been walking in the desert for three days. The water source is lacking, and the food is dry and hard to swallow. Mu Xiaomu's whole body has been darkened twice.

Finally, Manish, who was riding a horse in front, waved his hand and stopped the advancing team.

Mu Xiaomu's legs were sore, and he immediately fell to the ground, panting for breath while leaning on a stone that was scorched by the sun.

"Here you are," beside him, Aijiejie handed over a cowhide water bag.

After Mu Xiaomu took it, he took a few sips, then quickly covered the lid and returned it to Ai Jiejie.

After being taken away by Manis that night, Mu Xiaomu learned his identity from Ai Jieke, a runaway soldier.

Ai Jieke was afraid of the battlefield. His elder brother joined the army last year and died in the war between Egypt and Hittite. He also had an old mother and a wife at home. He didn't want to go to the battlefield to die, so he contacted several conscripts. The people discussing the escape plan together.

Unfortunately, one person was caught and reported their escape route to Manish, so the scene of that night happened.

"I'm really sorry, Mu, if I hadn't admitted the wrong person, you wouldn't have been exposed like this here." Ai Jieke blamed himself and looked at Mu Xiaomu's forehead sweating.

Such a slender young man, it seemed that he hadn't suffered much.

Mu Xiaomu shook his head, "Where will Manish take us?"

Ai Jieke knocked on the distant desert with narrowed eyes, frowned and said: "The front line, as a small army to die."

"Small troops sent to death?" Mu Xiaomu looked at Ai Jieke in confusion.

Ai Jieke nodded, a few strands of yellow hair were sticky on his sweaty forehead.Glancing at Manish who was sitting in the tent not far away enjoying the cool and drinking water, Aijiejie was a little self-deprecating.

"Those officials are not the ones who will make it easy for us, especially after escaping this time, Manish will definitely let me die. Of course, you can't escape, he has already determined that you are with me."

Mu Xiaomu lowered his head listlessly, his face flushed from the sun.

"Then... let's run again."

Ai Jieke looked up, looked at Mu Xiaomu who suddenly became serious, and sneered: "Still running? No more."

"That's not true, Ai Jiejie, look around, the barren desert is all there, instead of staying and dying, why don't we run away and run into the desert, maybe there will be a glimmer of life."

"Are you serious?" Ai Jieke frowned, his brown eyes fixed on Mu Xiaomu.

Mu Xiaomu raised his head and looked at the endless sand sea in the distance.

"Or, you just want to die here—"

Ai Jieke was silent for a while, looked around, and lowered his voice after making sure no one noticed, "Manisi has a lot of eyeliners here. How and where are you going to run?"

Mu Xiaomu glanced at Manis who was here, and said frankly, "I don't know."

Ai Jieke sneered, and said a little self-destructively: "You don't know? Then wait to die with me."

"I said, everything is not certain."

Ai Jieke looked at him, "That's best, otherwise we will all die."

Mu Xiaomu turned his head away, and then looked at Manis who was talking and laughing with his cronies.Suddenly asked: "How far is it from that small town?"

Ai Jieke sat on the ground, raised his head back, squinted his eyes for a long while and said, "There is still a day's journey."

Mu Xiaomu nodded, with firm eyes showing on his immature face, looking at the decadent Ai Jieke, and whispered: "There is still hope, we will run away tonight."

After walking for a long time, it was getting close to evening, Manish signaled the team to stop and set up camp, preparing to rest for the night.A team of hundreds of people huddled together and slept together, guarding against sudden sandstorms and quicksand that would blow up at any time.

It was dark, and a full moon in the sky illuminated the golden desert.

In order to prevent anyone from escaping, Manish sent two people to watch the night, one to watch the first half of the night and the other to watch the second half of the night.

There was a bonfire on one side of the tent, and there was a lot of snoring.

More than half of the night had passed, Mu Xiaomu heard the voices around him, opened his eyes suddenly, touched Ai Jieke who was on the side, Ai Jieke turned his head slightly, and mouthed to him: "I'm all asleep."

Mu Xiaomu nodded, and said with the same mouth shape: "Before the night changes, let's go now."

Turning his face away, Mu Xiaomu looked at the night watchman sitting by the bonfire not far away. That was Manish's confidant Mark. At this moment, Mark's head was raised like a chicken pecking rice, and he suddenly lowered his head. Mark He straightened his upper body suddenly, and tried his best to open his eyes to look around. After confirming that no one was awake, he slowly lowered his head.There was also a slow snoring sound from his mouth.

Mu Xiaomu turned his face and nodded to Ai Jieke.

Aijiejie also secretly lifted up half of his body, and after making sure that Mark was asleep, he tiptoed around the crowded people on the ground and walked cautiously outside the tent.

Mu Xiaomu also stood up and walked behind Ai Jieke.

At night, the bonfire made a crackling sound.In this empty desert, one's ears are extremely sensitive.

Mark dozed off, sitting on the ground with his chin propped on one hand, suddenly lowered his head, he woke up again, rubbed his eyes, and Mark looked across.

At a glance, I saw two figures running in the dark night.

Mark's sleepy man was awakened suddenly, stood up, and chased and screamed.

"Run away, someone escaped!!"

Mu Xiaomu and Ai Jieke were running in the moonlight, looking at the people chasing after him, Ai Jieke was so anxious that his chest was drenched with sweat, but he didn't dare to relax at all, his legs accelerated the shaking frequency, and quickly moved towards the depths of the desert run.

The cursing and roaring behind him echoed in his ears, and he told himself repeatedly in his heart.

can't be caught can't be caught—

Mu Xiaomu ran very strenuously, and his body, which was too dehydrated during the day, could no longer bear the torment.He was panting, and his calf was numb as if it was about to burst.

Finally, he staggered and fell to the ground beyond his strength.

Hearing the noise, Ai Jieke looked back and saw that Mu Xiaomu had fainted, so he stopped and was thinking about whether to help him, when he saw that the number of people chasing after him had already been counted.

He even saw the ferocious eyes of the leader Manish, and the whip in his hand would beat him to death endlessly!

Thinking of this, Ai Jieke glanced at Mu Xiaomu on the ground, and murmured: "I'm sorry, Mu, I have to go, I'm sorry..."

After speaking, he continued to run forward in one breath.

Mu Xiaomu raised his head, saw Ai Jieke's figure running farther and farther, and finally closed his eyes slowly.

Forget it, if you can run one is one, Ai Jiejie, I don't blame you, if I were you, I would run too.

In the end, Mu Xiaomu was arrested and returned, and Manish left three people to continue to track down Ai Jieke.

Manisi looked at the unconscious Mu Xiaomu and let out a loud pooh.

"take away!"

Mu Xiaomu was woken up by the whip, and the hot whip lashed his body hard, causing excruciating pain from the friction.

Opening his eyes, Manish's face full of anger came into view, Mu Xiaomu let out a breath, and slowly closed his eyes again.

"Tell me, where did that son of a bitch, Ai Jieke go?"

Manish brandished the whip, lashing his body mercilessly one after another, the pain was so intense that his body twitched uncontrollably.

"I...I don't know"

With a dry mouth making a hoarse voice, and the burning pain in his body, Mu Xiaomu almost wanted to die instantly, this kind of pain is really tormenting people!

"I don't know." Manish suddenly showed a sinister smile, and told Mark to take a box, and then opened it.

"Then let's try this."

Hearing this, Mu Xiaomu opened his eyes, and when he saw the tube of red chili oil, cold sweat poured down his body.

This, this, this - is simply going to kill someone!

Seeing Mu Xiaomu's eyes widen in horror, Manish clapped his hands in satisfaction, and finally asked: "Tell me, where did Ai Jieke go!" After speaking, he flicked his whip and slapped it heavily on the table beside him. .

There was a "click", the ear-piercing sound made Mu Xiaomu's ears ring.It seems that the hot pain can also be felt.

"I really do not know……"

Mu Xiaomu really didn't know, if they knew where they were going, they wouldn't run endlessly in the huge desert.

The muscles on Mani's morale face trembled, and he ordered someone to bring over the tube full of chili oil. The thick whip was soaked with dark red chili oil, and the air was filled with a dry and greasy smell.

Manis held the dark red whip in front of Mu Xiaomu, and asked again with a sullen face.

"Last chance, do you say it or not?"

"I really don't know, what do you want me to say..." Mu Xiaomu was so angry at the moment, his body that had been exhausted for a long time was tortured at this moment, his bones all over his body seemed to be falling apart, and even his thoughts seemed to be withdrawn from his body.

Only the cold sweat slowly slid down his forehead along his forehead, and then fell to the ground drop by drop.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Manish sneered, and pulled away the leather whip. Seeing that the oily red whip was about to be thrown at Mu Xiaomu again, there was a sound at the door.

Immediately, a soldier came in to report.

"Captain, Ejac is back."

Mu Xiaomu, who was in great pain, didn't hear the soldier's report, but felt the roaring neighing in his head and ears. After a long time, seeing that the whip hadn't fallen, the fear in his heart made him faint.

Manish held a whip, and when he got out of the tent, he saw a man sitting on a tall horse. The man was holding the rope with his right hand, and pulling a rope with his left hand. Ai Jieke was at the other end of the rope.

Ai Jieke raised his head, his hands were tightly bound by the rope, and when he saw the whip with chili oil in Manish's hand, he shrank back in fear.

"Don't come here, don't come here, I won't run away anymore, it was that Mu, he told me to run, everything was directed by him, I am innocent..."

At the end of the talk, he started to sob softly.

Manis didn't pay attention to Ai Jieke, but looked at the person sitting on the horse.

The man was wearing a round-neck cotton blouse with a short sword hanging from his waist. His long brown hair was neatly tied up with a rope, and his eyes were light yellow.

A very neat young man.

"I don't know who you are?"

The young man got off his horse neatly, raised his head slightly and looked at Manish.

"I'm the captain of another team, you can call me Rui."

The young man was talking, with a confident smile on his handsome face, which made Manish not surprised, so he said, "You found this traitor?"

The young man named Rui nodded, "I saw him wearing a soldier's clothes and running in a hurry in the desert, so I guessed that this must be a soldier who wanted to escape, and I guessed right."

Manis nodded, watching the other party carefully with small eyes.

After ordering people to carry Ai Jieke into the tent, Manish looked at Rui who still did not leave, and said seriously: "I am really sorry about this incident, but in the future, this kind of thing will never happen again."

Rui nodded indifferently, and corrected Manish: "Actually, I don't care what you do, and you have been removed from the captain's position by your superiors. Now your team will be led by me."

After the young man finished speaking, Manish's expression changed immediately, he clenched the whip in his hand, and said incredulously: "Listen, buddy, I think you must have gone crazy in the desert, go away quickly, Get off to your place!"

Rui smiled slightly, and elegantly took out an appointment and dismissal order from the horse, handed it to Manish, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what about this, written in black and white, you are the one who should get out."

Manis grabbed the appointment and dismissal order, carefully looked at it several times, and finally put the appointment and dismissal order in Rui's hands. He snorted twice, pushed away the crowd in front of him, and walked forward.

After walking halfway, he turned back, threw the whip in front of Rui, and shouted in an atmosphere.

"Go to hell!"

After finishing speaking, he grabbed a horse in the team and was about to leave.

"and many more"

Manis turned his head impatiently.

Rae pointed to his horse, and commanded Mark, who stood beside him.

"You can't take anything from the army with you."

Mark glanced at Manis hesitantly, then at the newly appointed boss, and finally walked towards Manis.

Manis looked at Mark in a panic, and shouted: "This is my horse, you can't take it away!"

If there is no horse, with only two legs, I am afraid that I will be exhausted before I get out of the desert.

Mark broke away Manish's hand that was holding on to the rein tightly, gave him a last look at the embarrassed man, and led Ma Chaorui over.

Rui satisfied with a smile, a trace of haze flashed in his pale yellow eyes.

Mark led the horse and looked at Rui fawningly. Rui gave him a cold look, picked up the whip that Manish had thrown away on the ground, and walked into the tent with a gloomy face.

Inside, Mu Xiaomu's face was tilted to one side with his hands hanging and his body dripping with blood from the whip.

In the corner, Ai Jieke curled up in the corner with his knees hugged. When Rui came in, complex emotions flashed across his face, and he screamed.

"Help me, I don't want to die..."
