my days in ancient egypt

17

"Mu, come with me, let me take you away."

La repeated it again, looking at Mu Xiaomu with fixed eyes.

Mu Xiaomu looked at him and shook his head.

"I can't go with you."

He frowned, and his amber eyes floated with a touch of sadness.

"why?"

"They said, I will kill you."

Mu Xiaomu withdrew his gaze, and stared at the Nile River in the distance with his pitch-black eyes.

"Although you brought me here, I can see that you don't want to hurt me, and I don't want to implicate you."

"How could you implicate me..." La was very helpless for Mu Xiaomu to think like this.

Mu Xiaomu looked at La suddenly, "What they said is true, your strength is weakening?"

La was silent for a moment, then smiled, "It's not that serious."

Hearing this, Mu Xiaomu tilted his head, and the shattered hair on his forehead slid to one side, exposing his shiny forehead, and his bright black eyes were even more attractive.

"I really don't understand what you are trying to do."

"Then you come with me?"

Mu Xiaomu shook his head and said flatly, "Don't go."

"..."

After asking for a long time, it seemed that they were being rejected, so La gave a wry smile.

If you can't buy time with Mu, how can the other party fall in love with you...

perhaps

There should be an opportunity——

La left without a sound, and Mu Xiaomu jumped out of the window, ready to take a bath.

The next day, Mu Xiaomu planned to go out of the palace to play in the city, and Ramses agreed, but Ferm had to accompany him.

Mu Xiaomu pouted.

Along the way, Ferm followed Mu Xiaomu every step of the way with a cold face, not even smiling.

Mu Xiaomu felt very boring, thinking, find a chance to get rid of him.

The Royal Palace is located in the southeast of Thebes City, close to several majestic temples, and there are few residents around. The further north you go, the more obvious the noise of the downtown area, and more and more people.

Ferm frowned and didn't speak, but he followed Mu Xiaomu closely wherever he went.

Children coming and going, chasing each other mischievously, Ferm had to dodge while staring at Mu Xiaomu who was walking in front.

A dark and thin old man came across, wearing only a piece of cloth that was so dark that no color could be seen, his chest was drooping, his left hand was leaning on a broken crutch, and his right hand was holding a seemingly exaggerated pottery pottery on his head. Can, bent over, walked carefully step by step.

A few naughty children deliberately teased the old man, sometimes throwing stones at her, and sometimes kicking her. The people on the side also watched, no one came forward to teach them a lesson, but just formed a circle as if watching the excitement.

Seeing that no one was watching, the children became even more presumptuous, throwing stones one by one.

Finally, there was a young man who couldn't get used to it, and loudly reprimanded one of the children in charge.

The child stared at the black and white eyes, let out a loud cry, and threw a stone the size of an egg at the old man.

Just when everyone was about to watch a good show, a strong man suddenly jumped out in front of the old man.

Pulling out the dagger at his waist, Ferm raised his hand and swung it into the air.

The egg-sized rock was split in half and rolled several meters away.

The child looked at Ferm, trembled in fear, turned his head and ran away, and the other children followed suit.

The people around suddenly dispersed without feeling bored, and went about their own business.

The old man opened his eyes that were only slit by the wrinkles, and nodded in gratitude towards Ferm, and then walked forward cautiously.

Steps turn and turn, the curved figure draws a circular circle under the sun.

Ferm put away his sword, looked around, and immediately became nervous.

That young man named Mu has disappeared without a trace, he was still on the side just now!

Gritting his teeth bitterly, Ferm ran forward along the street.

Mu Xiaomu stretched his head out of a bakery after making sure that Ferm had run away.

Sneaking twice, Mu Xiaomu quickly ran in the opposite direction before Ferm could react.

In the market on West Street, Ama's fruit stall, Mu Xiaomu, can be seen at a glance.

Under the sun, Ama was standing at the stall picking fruits for the customers, with a customary smile on her dark face, she sold half a basket of apples with a few moves of her lips.

Ama sent the guests away, and with a glance, she saw Mu Xiaomu.

Greeting him to sit down, Ama patted Mu Xiaomu's shoulder, and said with a wicked smile: "You have grown flesh, more flesh than when you lived with me. It seems that Fata has raised you well."

Mu Xiaomu smiled, grabbed a clean looking apple and bit it, Ama took out a big mango from the fruit cart and handed it to him.

"The new one is so sweet, try it."

Ama knew that Mu Xiaomu liked to eat sweets, and was about to deliver some of the newly arrived mangoes this morning, but he came unexpectedly, what a coincidence.

"I also want to send you some past, what a coincidence that you came today!"

"Ama, besides the fruit business, have you ever thought about doing something else?" Mu Xiaomu peeled off the mango skin, tasted it, and it was really sweet.

"That's not true. When I was young, I wanted to be a general like Fata, but now I'm used to living a comfortable life, and I've worn out my drive. Now, I just sell me honestly." Fruit!"

Ama smiled innocently.

"Do you still want it?"

Mu Xiaomu wiped his mouth after eating, then shook his head at Ama.

"Why do you ask this suddenly? Is it not suitable for warehouse work?"

Since entering the palace, Mu Xiaomu hasn't been to the warehouse for several days. According to Ramses' thinking, he probably doesn't want him to go.

Mu Xiaomu shook his head, and suddenly remembered that he was going to have a big drink with Ama the night he was caught by Nai, so he gave Ama a wicked smile.

"Ama, I'm here to drink with you, let's drink all night!"

That night, Amma bought a few large cans of beer, some appetizers and roast meat, and drank with Mu Xiaomu in the room until dark.

The beer that Ama bought was too bitter and had low alcohol content. Although Mu Xiaomu had a poor capacity for alcohol, he could still drink a can of it.

Ama has a very good capacity for alcohol, and even two cans are not enough.

After drinking all the wine, Mu Xiaomu fell into a drowsy sleep. The window was open, and the cold wind blew suddenly, Mu Xiaomu shivered, and his mind cleared up a lot.

Looking at the dark night sky, Mu Xiaomu suddenly thought that if he dumped Ferm before and didn't return to the palace in the middle of the night, Ramses must be anxious.

No, it seems that I have to go back, otherwise it will be difficult to leave the palace in the future.

Ama drank so much that she fell asleep, snoring lightly at night.

Mu Xiaomu walked to the sink, flushed his face with cold water, and only went out the door after he regained consciousness.

The stars outside the house were dotted with stars, but the moon surprisingly only showed a crack the size of a fingernail. Fortunately, it was not too dark outside the house, so Mu Xiaomu could see the road in the distance clearly.

After washing his face with cold water, Mu Xiaomu became more awake, and walked towards the palace at a faster pace.

Mu Xiaomu walked all the way, and tripped twice on an invisible stone on the ground, and once almost hit his eye, which made him grin his teeth in pain.

Rubbing his cheekbones that seemed to be swollen, Mu Xiaomu slowed down a little, and walked forward gropingly.

At night in Thebes, the surroundings are so quiet that only the low and shallow chirping of insects can be heard, and one or two barks of dogs occasionally, which is not surprising.

There was no one on the street, and with the cold breeze blowing behind him, Mu Xiaomu stared closely at the surroundings, afraid that something would pop out again.

Unknowingly, the further you go to the more desolate places in the south, the more chill rises behind you.

His pace quickened unconsciously.

Suddenly, he touched something soft under his feet, and because he walked too fast, Mu Xiaomu's body lost his center of gravity and fell forward.

How unlucky am I? !

Mu Xiaomu cursed secretly, and was about to get up and continue walking, when suddenly he heard a low cry, coming from right beside his feet.

The soft thing moved and staggered to its feet.

people? !

Mu Xiaomu froze in place.

Are there a lot of Egyptian weirdos?Is this person all right? A dead body lying in the wilderness at night? !

Ai Jieke, who had his finger stepped on, jumped, his right hand tightly held the wrist of his left hand, his face twitched constantly because of the pain.

After a while, Ai Jieke looked at the "culprit" Mu Xiaomu, and complained in a low voice: "Don't you have eyes when you walk? Can't you see someone lying here?!"

Ai Jieke frowned and walked up to Mu Xiaomu, and massaged him back and forth. When he saw the sweat on Mu Xiaomu's face, he smiled knowingly, changed his angry expression before, and looked at Mu Xiaomu with understanding eyes. He patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, we are the same person, don't be nervous."

Ai Jiejie's hands trembled a little, I don't know if it was because it was still throbbing from being stepped on by Mu Xiaomu just now, or because he was afraid.

"What kind of person, who are you?"

Just as Mu Xiaomu was about to ask, he suddenly noticed a faint fire moving slowly in the distance, as if it was coming towards them.

Ai Jiejie also found out, and without waiting for Mu Xiaomu to speak, he took his hand and ran forward, whispering while running: "I think you are so short, you are not yet an adult! I really don't know what those people think, why Not even a child like you will be spared!"

Mu Xiaomu was already sweating from running, and now he was dragged by Ai Jieke to run quickly. Before he figured out what was going on, he was too tired to say a word, and could only pant heavily.

From behind, fragmentary footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Mu Xiaomu could hear that many people were coming.

"The one in front, stop for me!"

Ai Jieke ignored him after hearing this, and ran faster while holding Mu Xiaomu's hand.

"You son of a bitch in front, if you run again, you will look good, stop!"

The sound was getting closer and closer, and the surroundings were gradually illuminated by the fire, thinking that they were almost catching up.

Suddenly, a horse sprang forward, its hooves were raised high because of the sudden stop, and the sound of neighing was heard one after another.

Ai Jiejie stopped suddenly, and Mu Xiaomu walked forward habitually, and immediately fell to the ground, his face flushed red, his mouth gasping for breath, and his eyes narrowed in pain.

There was a piercing sound, like the wailing of a leather whip tearing flesh, and Aijieke knelt down on the ground in pain, propped his hands on the ground, lowered his head, and sweat dripped drop by drop on the ground, and soon melted into the ground. In the soil, there is no trace.

In front, on a tall brown-haired horse, sat a young man with a whip in his hand, his face livid with anger.

Raise your hand and shake it down.

Aijiejie was whipped three times, and finally curled up in pain and fell to the ground.

The man on the horse snorted coldly, put away his whip, and glanced at the crowd who followed.

At night, the man's voice was harsh in the open land, blowing into Mu Xiaomu's ears like a cold wind.

"See, this is the fate of fleeing. You are the people of Egypt, and you have an obligation to fight for Egypt. Running away is unforgivable!"

The man said and swung his whip again.

In the dark night, Ai Jieke's cry pierced the sky abruptly, causing Mu Xiaomu to open his eyes wide in shock.

"Come on, take them back!"
