my days in ancient egypt

At that moment, Mu Xiaomu thought that Fata had sold him out.

It was noon, the busiest time for Egyptians, and different people shuttled back and forth on the streets.

Some are slaves, some are servants in big families, some go out to shop, and some are free to wander around.People in ancient times were just like modern people. In order to survive, they were constantly busy. No one noticed here, the two idlers enjoying the shade under the palm trees.

After a while, just as Mu Xiaomu dozed off from sleepiness, Fata said something in a low voice, then looked up at Mu Xiaomu, his eyes were shining as if he had discovered a new land.

After chattering a few words, Fatara picked up Mu Xiaomu and left.

Back in that empty house again.

Facing the indifferent faces of the couple, Fata argued for something, and then took out a thin beige paper from his waist pocket, on which symbols were drawn with black dye.

The couple took the paper, looked at each other, and then turned to Mu Xiaomu who had been silent all this time.

Mu Xiaomu met the couple's eyes and felt hundreds of small insects crawling on his body. In this scorching afternoon, he couldn't feel the slightest bit of coldness surrounding him.

Fata was still talking, the woman put away the paper, raised her head and said something coldly.

Fata heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head and gave a few words of advice to the stunned Mu Xiaomu, looking at his brother's caring expression with his eyes.Then he got up and went out, without saying a few words to him before leaving.The servant stepped forward and closed the door.

Only he and the Egyptian couple on the opposite side were left in the room. In an instant, Mu Xiaomu felt like he was being sold.

Sure enough, isn't Fata really a good person? !

It was another dry day, Mu Xiaomu sat on the wide stone window sill, basking in the sun while taking a nap.

After squeaking, Finny rushed into the house, ran to the window sill, pointed to the blue lake not far away, "Mu, the Nile River is always the most beautiful at this time of year."

Hearing this, Mu Xiaomu opened his eyes and looked at the girl who suddenly ran in before him.

The girl wears a white pleated dress with a belt made of shells and malachite around her waist, which symbolizes the girl's purity and beauty.

Fei Ni is the daughter of Ma Feier and Du Lisa, and Ma Feier is a well-known craftsman in the city.In ancient Egypt, being a craftsman was a respected profession and earned a good income.

It has been a month since Fata left, Ma Feier and Du Lisha are also considered good to Mu Xiaomu, they can eat without doing anything every day, this kind of life used to be his dream, but now Mu Xiaomu feels a bit boring.

There is no computer, no TV, and I go to sleep after eating every day. I can only watch the Nile River in the distance from the window.Can't go to the street because of the language barrier, such a day will really make people crazy!

Fortunately, Finny came to accompany him on boring days.

Feeney often talked to him and taught him how to read.Gradually, Mu Xiaomu was able to simply name some things, and knew that Fata had not sold him, but found him a place to live.

From Finny's words, Mu Xiaomu gradually understood the relationship between Fata and the Mafeier family.

It turned out that Ma Feier and Fata's father had been friends when they were young, and they had made a baby marriage and made a written agreement.Now, Fata's family is in decline, and Ma Feier dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and is unwilling to marry Finny to him and suffer.Fata was very sad at first, but he was more angry after being looked down upon, so he joined the army, and let Mu Xiaomu live here for a while in exchange for retiring the engagement.

Ma Feier and Du Lisha agreed without thinking about it, and secretly laughed for a while.

In their opinion, this deal is worth it.

Fata joined the army and could only visit him once a month. He brought a lot of food when he came, as if he was afraid that he would be wronged here.

Mu Xiaomu followed Fata's greetings to him, feeling like a little calf, and Fata was the scalper who protected the calf.Thinking of this, Mu Xiaomu burst out laughing.

No matter how you look at Fata's handsome face, it has nothing to do with scalpers.

"Mu, what are you laughing at?" Fini turned to look at Mu Xiaomu, blinking innocently.

She is a kind and pure child with an innocence that does not know the world, which Mu Xiaomu likes very much.

Mu Xiaomu shook his head, thought for a while, and said a series of incoherent words: "Fenny, go to the street to see, you take me..."

Feeney has been with him for a long time, but he can still understand his unwritten words, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Okay!"

Mu Xiaomu was wearing his shirt and the white pleated skirt that Feeney gave him.

He doesn't want to be topless/topless no matter what.

This is the second time for Mu Xiaomu to visit the ancient market in Egypt. The last time he followed the Fata, he didn't pay much attention to it. Now that he is accompanied by Fini, how interesting is it to go shopping? Is this the difference between men and women?

uh-huh!It seems that Mu Xiaomu is still pretty.

The two walked to a stall selling trinkets, and Feeney squatted down to pick up a painted bracelet.

The bracelet is very wide. This type of bracelet is really popular. After a while, the seller got 10 deben.

"Miss, buy it when you see it, or you won't be able to buy it later." The seller is an old woman, a white linen skirt is loosely covered, her skinny arms are dark, and she is taking advantage of the colorful clothes on her wrists. The jewel-encrusted bracelet is extremely dazzling.

Feeney said that in Egypt, except for the real gemstones worn by the royal family and nobles, the gemstones on the common people's street market are all painted with cheap stones.

Fini is a very beautiful girl. Her long black hair is smoothed with essence, and a strong fragrance can be smelled from a distance. The smell of this pure essence makes Mu Xiaomu very uncomfortable. Far away, but Finny didn't understand the situation, so he kept leaning towards him. Over time, Mu Xiaomu got used to it after smelling it. If one day Egyptian women didn't put fragrance on their hair, he would not be used to it.

Feeney picked out two bracelets and a necklace, and happily walked to another stall.

Mu Xiaomu stood next to Fei Ni and sighed: Women are creatures, no matter what era they are in, they have the same temperament!

Mu Xiaomu, who originally planned to visit Thebes, accompanied Feeney to the market for a long time, and at the end, he brought back a bunch of things in his arms.

Back at the residence, Finny threw all of today's gains onto his sleeping blanket.

Mu Xiaomu glanced at it, good guy, from jewelry to clothes, there are even wigs!

Feeney rummaged through a pile of things for a long time, and finally found a small wooden box under the wig.

Opening the exquisitely carved wooden box, Finny took out a necklace.

It was a gold chain, and at the end hung a small malachite scarab.

Seeing Fei Ni handing over the necklace, Mu Xiaomu thought for a while, it would be bad to refuse him, so he accepted it.

Feeney said happily: "Although you are from the East, in Egypt, no matter a man or a woman, there is at least one piece of jewelry. You see, you don't have anything. I will give you this necklace."

Feeney talked a lot, but Mu Xiaomu could only vaguely hear words like Egypt, men and women, and send them off.So I nodded and said thank you.

Mu Xiaomu didn't have the habit of wearing a necklace because it was not very comfortable to wear.But I was too embarrassed to refuse Feeney, so I carefully put it away.

Fini was introducing all the treasures she had found, when Du Lisha came in, gave Mu Xiaomu a cold look, then reprimanded Fini a few words, and pulled her away.

The maid Lal behind picked up a pile of things on the bed and walked out behind Du Lisha.

Feeney turned around secretly, and stuck out his tongue playfully at Mu Xiaomu.

Mu Xiaomu smiled at her and kissed her.

Finny turned shyly and followed her mother away.

Du Lisha doesn't like Mu Xiaomu, and she doesn't like anyone who has anything to do with Fata.

During the day, Ma Feier had to go to work, and Du Lisha would bring things to meet some so-called "spiritual aristocrats" in her spare time. Even a fool could see the idea of ​​wanting to be a nobleman.

Every time Du Lisha sees Fei Ni and Mu Xiaomu get together, she has to teach her a lesson.

"You can't mix with that poor oriental man in the future, you will marry a nobleman in the future!"

"From today on, you are not allowed to run outside anymore, you must learn etiquette from Miss Wall, and you can no longer behave like a country girl without rules!"

Feeney listened to her mother very much, except for ignoring Mu Xiaomu, she did everything.

Time flies, and the end of May is approaching. Fata came back a little early this time, and brought Mu Xiaomu some fat game as usual.After living in the military camp for two months, Fata seemed to have lost some weight, but his body was more muscular, and the gap between Mu Xiaomu and him in height was even greater.

"Mu, you've improved so fast that you can understand what I'm saying."

Mu Xiaomu was gnawing on the paw of an unknown bird, and nodded after hearing this.

Since Fata loves to treat himself like a kid, he should treat himself like a kid, since he has meat to eat anyway.

Fata took a small ceramic cup, poured a glass of water and handed it to him, lest he choke.

"Mu, in a few days I will take you to the Nile River Festival, which is the pride of our Egypt, the pride of God." When Fata spoke, his eyes showed a kind of supreme worship, which was something Mu Xiaomu didn't understand. .

Mu Xiaomu nodded without looking up, "Go!"

There are festivals, so food and wine must be indispensable.

Fata's eyes lit up, he looked at Mu Xiaomu who was full of greasy food, and said, "Mu, do you also worship God Amon?"

Mu Xiaomu didn't know what he was talking about, but in order not to spoil the atmosphere, he nodded again.

Suddenly, Fata's handsome face was filled with a smile.

Mu Xiaomu felt that he had spoken, so he took another big gulp, and the whole bird was eaten with only bones left.

At this time, Feeney came to look for Mu Xiaomu again.

Mu Xiaomu's room is small, but clean. There is simply a blanket and a wooden stool in the room. On the side of the blanket, there is a shelf made of limestone. A bowl with kerosene in it for lighting at night.The room faces the sun, and you can see the green Nile River from the window. Mu Xiaomu is very satisfied with this.

Fei Ni originally wanted to play with Mu Xiaomu, but saw that there was still a Fata standing in the room.

Fata was so handsome that he blushed at Fini.

"Mu, I'm here to find you..."

Mu Xiaomu rolled his eyes, who would you look for if you came to my room?

But he also knew that girls would blush like a monkey's butt when they saw a handsome Fata, especially Fata, who had become more manly after returning from the army.

Fata took a look at Finny and recognized her identity, so he said something to Mu Xiaomu in a low voice, then turned around and left, with a faint disgust expression on his face, although it was concealed deeply, but still The sharp-eyed Mu Xiaomu spotted it.

Fata is gone, and Feeney is disappointed.

"Is he... your friend?"

Feeney has never met Fata, but only heard of a man who has been engaged to him since childhood. It is normal for him not to know Fata.

Mu Xiaomu thought for a while, and thought that since he was a friend, he shouldn't hide anything, so he told Fei Ni the truth.

Feeney was silent for a while, with an almost embarrassed expression on his face. After standing for a while, he remembered the purpose, and then said, "Mu, the River Valley Feast Festival will be in a few days..." After thinking about it, He murmured again: "That... Fata, you can call him too..."

The author has something to say: Note: There was no currency in ancient Egypt, and the Deben mentioned in the article is a unit of measurement.

Ling: I have been thinking carefully, please forgive me (≧▽≦)/
