Hida [Daughter of the Nile] being picked up

"Xila, you don't need to stare at me in surprise." Kim smiled wryly and said helplessly, "When you sent Bisang to me back then, you didn't explain anything to him. That kid took every bite." Sister Hilda, 'I'd be so stupid if I didn't know what was going on."

"Then—you asked Bisang to change his words?" How could he be so dull? Bisang didn't take it too seriously when he changed his name. He even assumed that he was smart and smart, and never thought about it.

"It's true that I told him not to tell anyone that you are a woman and not to call you Sister Xida anymore." Kim rubbed his nose, "Fortunately, everyone was in a mess because His Highness disappeared and no one paid attention to Bisang, otherwise he would be killed." It would be troublesome for anyone who cares to hear it, Bisang is just a child who can’t tell what it means to be a man and a woman, and he doesn’t know what the consequences of this matter will be.” Speaking of this, he was a little angry, “Xila, you were too hasty at the beginning. Now, what should you do now if Bisang leaks a little information?"

"At that time, I thought I would come back right away after I got the prince." Xida whispered, and then she stammered, "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"

"Of course it scares me, it's the most ridiculous thing that's ever happened to me in my life. I couldn't believe my friend who was with me along the way and through so many hardships was a woman!" Kim The more he talked, the more excited he became, and he accused, "I told you so much, and I even discussed girls with you!" When he thought of the secrets that should only belong to men after he got acquainted with Xida, he wished he could find someone The pit buried itself.

The shame in Xida's heart deepened. She thought of the various topics that Kim shared with her before and felt that she had failed Kim's trust, "I'm sorry——"

Xida looked at the young man under the lamplight, her lips were tightly pressed, and her serious and resolute face was full of worries. This is an upright and reliable friend.She looked into Kim's eyes, "Kim, really, it's a pleasure to meet you here. For whatever reason I have betrayed your trust, I must confess my mistake to you and ask you to forgive me .”

"Oh, forget it." Kim sighed deeply and asked, "Xilda, can you tell me what's going on? Why are you pretending to be a man?"

"Actually, the prince regarded me as a man at first, and you all thought I was a man, so I acquiesced." Xida tried to defend, "And I didn't know how to talk about Bitai at the time, and I couldn't explain it. ah."

Kim was silent, indeed, no one thought she would be a woman at first, even though she was quite small and had fair skin, but because of her powerful martial arts, short hair, and—ahem, flat figure, she It is indeed natural to be classified as a man.

"Then why didn't you make it clear later, Xida?" He looked at her seriously, "You are a girl, and you shouldn't have been in danger with us everywhere. The journey was very hard, why didn't you tell us?"

"Once a lie begins, there is no way to end it. I'm afraid you don't want me. No one here can take me in. And you, you are my only friend. If you know I'm a woman, you won't talk to me. " Xida's voice was a little low, and it might be absurd to say it, but pretending to be a man was indeed the only way out for her.

Hearing her words, Kim felt a little sour, "I won't ignore you, it doesn't matter if you're a girl, as long as it's Xida."

"Kim..." Xida looked at him and said earnestly, "You know, I'm glad to hear you say that, when I first came here I didn't even dare to let myself fall asleep for fear of being discovered, But now I am not afraid. At that time, I was always afraid of what to do if I was found out and sold to some old man, isn’t it funny?” Xida laughed.

"It's really funny. How could His Highness be short of this money?" Kim said helplessly. Moreover, even from the standpoint of a friend, he didn't think that someone would choose a slave girl like Xida, unless someone had such a unique taste. Do you like beautiful and plump people?Of course, he would never say this to hurt his friend.

"Xila, I regard you as my loyal friend. We have gone through many dangers together and fought side by side. I can also feel the pain of hiding a secret in my heart but not being able to tell it. I blame you for concealing it." Kim hesitated, "But, Xida, have you ever thought about how His Highness will react?"

"His Highness Izmi?"

"Yes, Xida, to be honest, when I first discovered the truth, I was hesitant to report it to His Royal Highness, because this is my duty, and I swore to be loyal to him before God. But Xida, I can't I couldn't bear to watch my friend die, so I chose to make up for it by being more loyal in the second half of my life."

"Xilda, my friend, please follow my advice and leave here and go home quickly, His Royal Highness is coming." Kim looked at her seriously, "I wanted to bury this secret forever like this before. , always tell yourself that you have left Bitedo and this matter is over, we can always be good brothers like this."

"But now, Xida, His Highness is coming to Babylon. As long as your secret is still alive, you will always be in danger." Kim said in a deep voice. "Xilda, once His Highness Izmi discovers your secret, he will not forgive you. He will be so angry if he favored you before. No monarch will allow his subordinates to bury such a big secret. Once your Highness realizes the secret you concealed, you will never be able to leave again, what His Highness hates the most is betrayal and deceit."

"He probably won't notice." Xida wondered, "I want to stay in Babylon for a while, His Highness has already promised to let me go, he just dropped by to attend the wedding in Babylon this time, so he shouldn't find me matter."

"There is no secret in the world that will not be leaked. Since I can know, His Highness will know one day, so the only thing you have to do is to leave as soon as possible before His Highness arrives." Kim was a little angry, "What are you hesitating? You Don't you know how to cherish your own life?"

"It's Bisang, I want to spend more time with him, I haven't told him that I'm leaving, I don't know what to say." Xida said, "I want to settle this child before leaving, at least wait for him Calm down a little bit."

"Xilda, Bisang can be handed over to me. He can live in my house. My family likes him very much. We will take good care of him." Kim said, "I swear."

"Kim, of course I believe in the kindness of you and your family. Bisang admires you and likes you very much." Xida stared at the candle light in a daze, "but—you know, I witnessed this child with my own eyes. How to part with his only relative. He and his mother are very kind and warm people. They once took me in when I was sick. His mother Yuya is a tailor. She can tell that I am a girl at a glance. I have a fever She took care of me all night, just like my mother. Bisang and I realized something was wrong before the flood came, so we ran back to save his mother, but her foot hurt and she couldn't walk."

Shida rubbed her nose, "I had to put her down on the way because the flood was in sight and she was right next to my ear and she begged me to let her son live, then I ran and ran holding Bisan There was hope, Kim, if her foot didn't hurt or I had more strength, but it ended up with Bi-sang watching his mother sit on the sidewalk waiting for the flood to swallow it—Kim, I can't Put this child down."

The room fell silent. After a while, Kim said in a deep voice, "Xilda, I only knew that he lost his relatives in the flood, but I didn't expect——I understand what you mean. You are right. Your Highness may not necessarily find out."

"Who is it?" suddenly, Kim called out.Listening carefully, Xida noticed the rustling sound outside the door, accompanied by a suppressed whimper.

"It's me." There was a knock on the door, "Brother Kim, may I come in?"

It was Bisang. The two of them looked at each other, and Kim said with concentration, "Come in."

Bisang's clothes were disheveled, his eyes were red and swollen, and there were wet tears on his face, obviously he had just cried.Xida's heart sank, did Bisang hear what he said just now?

"Why are you there, didn't you go back to your room?" Kim asked.

Bisang said in a low voice, "I wanted to hide at the door to scare you, but later." He raised his head, "I heard what you just said."

"Bisang—" Xida looked at his stubborn expression helplessly.

"Xila, I heard everything you said, can you go quickly?" His eyes quickly turned wet, "Hurry up, please, I don't want you to die, that prince will kill you, right? .”

"Bisang, I'll be fine, trust me." Xida said

"I heard you, you're going to die!" Bisan yelled loudly, and he turned to Kim and begged, "Brother Kim, please, please let Xida go quickly, please? Please—" He persisted looked at Kim.

After a while, Kim finally sighed, "Xilda, listen to Bisang. I also think you should leave as soon as possible, Bisang, I will take care of it, right, Bisan?"

Bisang nodded vigorously, "That's right, Xida, brother Kim and I are very, very good together." After finishing speaking, he buried his head on Kim.

"You little fool." Xida felt bitter and touched Bisang's head, "But what should I do, my sister can't bear you."

After this night, the three of them no longer had the high spirits they had before, and the heaviness before parting permeated. Bisang seemed to have grown up a lot overnight, became calm and sensible, and quietly followed Xida to help.

However, no one expected that another document would arrive three days later.

Kim looked serious, "Xila, the prince already knows that you haven't left, he specifically asked you to stay here, and he wants to transfer you back to his side."
