"Dad, you really want me to wear my brother's clothes, it's so tight." Zhao Ling'er complained while adjusting the inappropriate men's clothes on her body.

"Don't complain, if you want to go to Baghdad, you have to dress like this." At this time, Zhao Weiji was helping Zhao Ling'er comb her long hair into a boy's style.

"Why, you have to dress up as a boy?" Because Zhao Ling'er was already several years older than Zhao Teng, and the girl also developed earlier than the boy, Zhao Teng's clothes looked short and tight on Zhao Ling'er's body.

This is also because Zhao Teng inherited the body shape of his maternal grandfather Chai Rong, although he usually doesn't like to exercise, but he is still taller than children of the same age, otherwise it is difficult to say whether Zhao Linger can put on this clothes.

"If you want to go to Baghdad with your face covered, your turban wrapped and your body wrapped tightly, you don't have to wear your brother's clothes."

When Zhao Ling'er heard this kind of dress, she immediately shook her head when she thought about the hot weather in this place, and then honestly asked his father to dress her up as a boy.

In fact, Zhao Weiji didn't want his daughter to suffer so much, but there was no way, they were about to enter the Arab world, where women were treated so harshly.

The Qur'an clearly says: "O prophet! Say to your wives, and to your daughters, and to the women of the believers, "Let them cover their bodies with their garments." This is the easiest way for people to know them without being violated. Allah is Forgiving and Merciful. ”

In order to protect women's chastity in the Arab world, they had to wrap their whole body except their eyes.

Out of respect for local religious customs, Zhao Weiji had no choice but to dress up his daughter as a boy.

At this time, Zhao Teng, who had already changed his clothes in another room, walked in, and then saw that his sister had changed from a bright little girl to a silly boy who was a bit of a mother, and he was a little disobedient for a while. In addition, his clothes are a little small on the old lady, and it looks a little funny. So when this kind of funny and that kind of disobedience were combined, Zhao Teng couldn't help it anymore, and laughed out loud while holding his stomach.

Zhao Ling'er, who already felt awkward, was ridiculed by her younger brother again, and she was really angry, so she yelled at Zhao Teng: "Don't laugh, laugh again, sister, I want you to look good." ”

However, this did not play a big role, although Zhao Teng stopped laughing for a while, but when he looked up and saw the image of his sister, coupled with the anger on his face mixed with a shy expression, he immediately let out a bigger laugh. These are no longer simply holding their stomachs, but rolling on the ground while holding their stomachs.

Even Zhao Weiji couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Zhao Ling'er's appearance.

Seeing that even my father was laughing at herself, Zhao Ling'er completely quit, and I was ready to take off this torn clothes, so I couldn't go.

Zhao Weiji saw his daughter's posture, and naturally knew that he couldn't tease her anymore, so he immediately restrained his smile, and then admonished Zhao Teng in a fake way: "Don't laugh, your sister has so easily helped you earn this opportunity to go to Baghdad, do you still want it, if you don't want it, don't get off the ship later, and go back to the Black Pearl with the ship." ”

As soon as he heard his father say this, Zhao Teng naturally knew that he couldn't laugh anymore, this opportunity was earned by the elder sister, so he had to give the elder sister a little face, so Zhao Teng also restrained his smile.

At this time, Wang Dayuan walked in from outside the cabin and reported to Zhao Weiji that he was almost there, ready to get off the ship. So the father and daughter hurriedly packed their things, and then walked out of the cabin to prepare to disembark.

The place where the ship docked was called Ayatollah Khomeini, which was the closest port city to Baghdad in the Persian Gulf, and it was also an important port of the Arab Empire, so the ship was strictly inspected after entering the port.

However, fortunately, Wang Dayuan often traveled back and forth between the Arab Empire and the Central Plains in the past, and he was familiar with these procedures, plus he had the blessing of gold, so it was easy to get permission to enter the city.

But even so, their group was still subject to a certain amount of interrogation, at least the weapons on their bodies were inspected, but fortunately, Zhao Weiji and his party only brought short knives and Mauser guns to defend themselves.

The dagger was not a threat, and the Mauser group of Muslims could not understand what it was, so they easily passed the cross-examination.

After entering the port of Khomeini, Zhao Weiji's two children immediately experienced a different world, because among the people in this group, they really have not been to the Arab world, in fact, only Zhao Weiji's family, and the other people who were selected to go to Baghdad have actually been to the Arab world before, although many have never been to Baghdad, but they have still entered the cities of the Arab Empire.

In Zhao Weiji's family, these two children are the only ones who really don't have any image concept of the Arab world. Because although Zhao Weiji has never been to the Arab world, the developed consultation in his previous life has given him a certain understanding of this world.

So the two children who really entered the other world immediately had endless curiosity. Those domed houses wondered why those people had bundles of cloth wrapped around their heads.

Also, they have strange beards and strange dresses. And what is the animal they are holding that always looks like a horse and is not a horse?

Everything brought these two children an unprecedented experience, and with the curiosity generated by this experience, the two children became a hundred thousand whys, and Zhao Weiji naturally became their answerer

The dome is because their religion wants it to be so, and the one that is placed on the head is the turban, which is their national costume. That kind of beard is something they are born with, and that kind of animal is called a camel. After that, we're going to take them to Baghdad.

In short, with endless questions, Zhao Weiji had to answer endlessly, some questions he could still answer, and some questions he didn't know the answers to at all.

So he didn't bother much, and decided to find something to do for the two bear children. He had a notebook and two pencils, so he divided the notebook into two parts, and gave them to the two children with a pencil for each.

"Remember the way I taught you how to draw?"

"Yes." The two children said at the same time.

"So now I'm going to give you a task, which is to draw all the buildings or people that you feel strange about, or beautiful, and take them home to show your mother when the time comes, okay?"

Both children nodded, then took the pen and paper and began to look for what they wanted to draw.

At this time, Zhao Weiji was finally temporarily relieved.

This notebook and pencil were naturally made by Xinhuacheng himself according to the method provided by Zhao Weiji, and the way Zhao Weiji said to draw was the modern pencil drawing method, because he found that Chinese painting was a bit troublesome for fast sketching, so he taught the children how to draw pencils while learning Chinese painting.

And just after the two children began to draw things, Zhao Weiji also had to discuss with Wang Dayuan how to go to Baghdad.

There are now more than 20 people in their group, except for Zhao Weiji's family of three, and Wang Dayuan, the others are all sailors on the ship, and there is the Viking leader.

And Yang Hua was left behind on the Black Pearl.

However, even if there are only about two dozen people, it is still a large team, so how to get to Baghdad naturally has to be discussed.

According to Wang Dayuan's meaning, tonight is now Khomeini Harbor to rest for the night, by the way, buy some camels in the city, and set off early tomorrow morning.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Dayuan took a group of people to a place like a hotel, and as soon as he entered the hotel, Wang Dayuan greeted the boss cordially, and it can be seen that he is very familiar with the boss here.

After Wang Dayuan exchanged a few words with the boss, he opened a few rooms on the counter, and then asked the boss to help buy more than 30 camels.

Then Wang Dayuan left the hotel with the people and went to the market to buy the items needed for the next journey, especially drinking water.

Once everything was done, the members of the team went into the room to rest.

Early the next morning, before the two children had woken up, the party set out, because the way to Baghdad had to pass through the desert, and it would be difficult to find the oasis before noon, so it had to leave early.

So Zhao Weiji and Wang Dayuan held a child who was still dozing in their arms, and then set off with the whole team.

Because Wang Dayuan was familiar with the route from Ayatollah Khomeini to Baghdad, and because there was a Viking leader who was also familiar with the road conditions, they were lucky enough to reach an oasis before noon, avoiding the hottest part of the day.

In the afternoon, when the sun was a little westerly, but had not yet begun to set, the group was on the road again, and they had to reach the first town before sunset.

Because the temperature difference between night and day in the desert is so great that it is basically impossible to stay overnight, and it will be accompanied by threats, so after avoiding the hottest period in the middle of the day, you have to hurry.

But fortunately, Wang Dayuan arranged the whole journey very properly, they did not encounter any trouble on this road, and in five days, they entered Baghdad safely.

After entering Baghdad, Zhao Weiji finally got a taste of what one of the largest cities in the Arab world was like.

It's completely different from the previous Khomeini, it's more prosperous, it's bigger, it's bigger mosques, it's bigger trade market.

Countless people from different countries gathered here, and a feeling of blending East and West spontaneously emerged. And Zhao Weiji also felt a strong cultural atmosphere permeating the air.

Therefore, he was sure that the choice to come to Baghdad this time was the right decision, and he would definitely not regret it.

However, the first thing you need to do when you enter the city is to receive the Viking chief's mansion and gold.
