The Aegean Sea in spring is beautiful, and the sea under the sunset is like a beautiful picture.

The sailors, who had just eaten supper and were drinking and gambling with shells in their cabins, shouted so loudly that the troubadours on the boat frowned, began to play their distinctive tunes, and then whispered the Homeric Epic.

It was a song they loved to sing, and even the great Homeric Epic was based on the songs sung by their troubadours, and this honor gave them the confidence to trace their history back to the heroic age of Greece as far as 700 years earlier, and to the awe of the sailors.

Looking at the red sun gradually sinking into the sea, a middle-aged man in a white robe sitting on the bow of the boat fell into deep thought.

He wore a standard Greek cotton robe, his long curly brown hair was wet with sea fog, and his feet wore a pair of sailor's boots, which were the most common at sea, but from the boot tubes, his feet were still naked, and when the sea breeze poured into the boots, his toes would squirm desperately, as if this was the only way to ensure that his toes would not go numb.

"The sun always sets in the sea at dusk, when distant ships appear, we see the mast first, and at night we go from north to south or from south to north, and we will see some stars rising from the horizon in front of us, while others disappear under the horizon behind me My argument is indeed correct, the world we are in is a round sphere, and that Bai Zi of Qin has the same opinion as me, he is really a learned person. If I can't see such a person, it will be my lifelong regret. ”

Taking out a book from his robe, precious as if holding a lover's letter, the middle-aged man gently opened the page and read: "'Sixue' seems to be more interesting than the point I have put forward. Let's see what this white son is talking about. Dialectical materialism? Well. It means that we should not look at things from an absolute, static point of view, but if we choose a relative point of view and support that there are two sides to everything, then how can we determine the source of things, or even the truth? No, I must rush to Persia as soon as possible, and then go to China, and meet this white son, and I believe we must have a lot to talk about. ”

Thinking of this, the white-robed middle-aged man raised his head and looked to the far east. The eyes are infinitely fascinated, but they are a little stupid. Suddenly, a sailor shouted, "Pirate! It's a pirate! Mr. Aristotle, please come to the cabin, it's too dangerous! ”

"Pirates?"

Aristotle looked into the distance with great interest, and sure enough, he saw four pirate ships at the junction of the water and the sky, and the first to appear was the mainmast with the black and white skull flag fluttering.

Even in four dozen or one, the pirate ships on the opposite side still maintained a uniform formation, and the large number of odd-looking sails gave them amazing power, plus the wind and water, so that it only took a Greek bell to surround the Greek merchant ship that Aristotle was riding. I didn't hear the hoarse cries of the pirates, but I saw an overwhelming barrage of arrows coming at you. At that moment, it was as if the whole sky was enveloped.

When the 'pirates' boarded the ship, the battle that could not be considered a battle was basically over, and the Greek sailors on the merchant ship seemed to be very familiar with this scene, and after a few symbolic struggles, they all threw down their weapons and surrendered with their heads in their hands.

Aristotle was one of them, but instead of holding his head, he desperately shoved the book into his arms. He had paid a great deal of money to buy it from a Persian merchant, and in order to be able to understand the book, he had to teach himself the languages of Persia and China with very little information.

"This book is yours?"

A young pirate jumped up in front of him, snatched the book and flipped through it a few times, and asked him in Huaxia.

Aristotle looked at the young pirate with some doubts, and found that he had a pair of dark and clear eyes, and his heart was relieved: "This is the work of the Western philosopher Bai Zi, please respect it!" ”

"Oh? Haha, you really can speak Huaxia, and you're very good at slapping my ass. ”

The young pirate hooked his little finger, and immediately several pirates came and put Aristotle into the pirate cabin.

Aristotle's eyes widened as he looked at the richly decorated cabin, feeling that he had arrived in the eastern country recorded in the book, and picked up a small bronze tripod that was beautifully cast and looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more interested he became.

"Hey, Greek, what's your name?"

When the young man walked into the cabin, he had already taken off his black pirate sailor outfit and put on an oriental silk robe, and the two buns on his head looked like horns, which was very ridiculous in the eyes of the Greeks, but the young man's calm and calm temperament made people laugh.

This is a nobleman, and a top-level Oriental nobleman. Aristotle, who is thirty-two years old this year, had met many nobles at Plato's Academy in Athens, so he naturally knew how to tell the difference.

"You're not a pirate! When did the nobles of China also like to play pirates? ”

Aristotle, who was a good thinker, naturally knew how to strike first, and after taking a closer look at the boy, he shouted: "What are you going to do with those innocent sailors and merchants? ”

"Of course I'm not a pirate anymore, I'm just a sightseeer."

The boy laughed, spread his hands innocently, and shrugged his shoulders like a Greek: "But as far as I know, those sailors will be dismissed, and no one will harm their lives; As for those merchants, if they promised to cooperate with Dongfang Huaxia in the future, they would not suffer any losses, and if they refused, it would be difficult to say. If you can read my teacher's book, you can see that he is a wise man, and he should know how the Greeks treated the Romans in their early years, and by the way, there is also the naval blockade of the Persians, which we are now just imitating, and we are willing to pretend to be pirates, leaving enough face and room for mediation for everyone. ”

"It turns out that you are his student, are these also Baizi's ideas?"

Aristotle sat back with a smile, the anger on his face disappeared for a while, he nodded again and again, and looked at the young man meaningfully: "I left Athens just to see the white son of Qin, you are his student, can you help me introduce you?" I am Aristotle! ”

Speaking of his name, Aristotle raised his head proudly, and now it was the brightest jewel of Athens, surpassing even his teachers in some areas, such as philosophy and physicology, which he was most proud of.

For a master like him, only the sages of the East Confucius, Mozi, and Laozi can make him respect, and Qin Baizi is one of the best scholars in the East today, and he can talk to him on an equal footing, but the young man in front of him is not qualified to let him look at him equally.

The young man looked at him quietly for a long time, and suddenly asked loudly outside the cabin, "How long will it take to return home?" ”

"Back to the world, we still have two days to sail, and if we encounter a big merchant ship on the way, maybe it will take some time."

"That's good, give this man the necessary wheat treasure and water on the way back, don't starve him to death, don't let him eat enough, if this son hears him burping, I will blame you! This person likes to hold his head high too much, and this son of the world just wants to make him low, isn't it Aristotle, something! ”

"No, you can't do that to me, I protest, I'm the best scholar in Athens, I'm Aristotle. Hey, kids, have you ever heard of nature? Have you ever done a natural experiment? I can make one for you to see, and I'm sure you'll be amazed. Don't go, you wouldn't guess it, it's a magical world."

"Bullshit, isn't it just a physics experiment? When this son was in Fengming Academy, he was going to vomit when he was doing experiments, why didn't he see anything interesting? ”

Win Sili ignored Aristotle. This guy was holding a book of Taifu at first, and he also knew Taifu's name, which made him a little curious, but he pretended to die in front of him, except for the monarch and Taifu in today's world, who dares to raise his head in front of him? It's light to be hungry for a few days, if you don't see that this guy is also a reader, you have to smash this thing's ass! (To be continued.) )
