75
I had a dream.
I dreamed that I was being burned and burned in a fire, my mouth was dry, and I had difficulty breathing.
The sound of chaos, undulating waves can be heard in your ears.
When I woke up, I knew I had a fever, my lips were hot and dry, and my head ached like a hammer.
It was a very narrow cabin, so narrow that it could only fit one bed. I was tied to the bed, maybe the kidnappers were afraid that I would fall out of bed for my sake, but I preferred to believe that they were afraid that I would run away.
You're already at sea, right?
Although this cabin is so dense that you can't see the outside, the sound of the waves can still be heard.
I couldn't move my hands and feet, I was wrapped in a blanket tightly, and I felt that my body was about to burn, but I didn't sweat at all. There seemed to be no water left in my body, and I was like a fish that had been thrown ashore and was struggling in a hot pan...... If this continues, I suspect I could really die of heat.
Suddenly, there was a soft creak on the cabin door, and someone crept down. I was stunned for a moment, narrowed my eyes, leaned my face slightly on the side of the pillow, and pretended to be asleep with heavy breathing.
Squinting his eyes and only getting a vague idea, a man dressed as a boatman walked up, gently lifted the corner of the cloth wrapped around his head, and half-knelt down in front of the bed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty?" ”
I was stunned for a moment, and immediately opened my eyes: "Unas? ”
"Yes, is Your Majesty alright?"
I said, "Is there any water?" ”
He was stunned for a moment, and immediately untied the skin bag containing water from his waist and handed it over.
"I can't take it, you feed me."
His hands were shaking a little, and the boat shook as I drank the water, and several drops of water were spilled on the back of his hands.
"How did you get on board? Who else is with you? ”
"It was just me, and I chased it all the way to the port, only to have time to get on the boat myself. But I left a message, and I believe that General Sinouye's men have now sent your message back to Memphis! ”
He put the bladder away, raised his hand, hesitated, and gently pressed it against my forehead to test the temperature.
"You're so sick!"
"It doesn't matter, you can't die...... Now there is no way to escape at sea, you are dressed as a sailor? ”
"Yes......"
"Then continue to be a sailor, and don't reveal your identity...... Don't come to see me again, the Bitaidos are reluctant to kill me, and I'll be fine for a while. ”
He kowtowed lightly beside the bed and replied, "Yes."
I watched him turn and go out, as light and dexterous as a stealthy cheetah. Unas is indeed powerful, and it is no wonder that Memphis is relying more and more on him......
This child also seems to be born as a slave?
I always felt that his eyes were not like the eyes of a man from a slave background. It's so deep that I can't see the bottom, and I don't know how many of it doesn't appeal to the mouth.
I closed my eyes, the fever made me a little groggy, and in a trance I heard the hatch bang again.
I slowly opened my eyes to see that Izmi, dressed in linen, was walking down the wooden ladder, holding a tray in his hand, probably to maintain balance, his steps were slow and steady, and this person seemed to have a very calm temperament. He looked up, looked at me, and smiled. It seemed gentle and harmless at this point, but both he and I knew in our hearts that it was just an illusion. He was a sharp sword, ready to hurt someone, and now it was just in its sheath.
"Just when you woke up, drink the medicine."
He put the tray down and picked up a small open jar: "This is medicine, drink it." ”
I looked at him with round eyes: "Which hand do you let me drink?"
If he let go of my hand, I'd like to see if I could restrain him, though I wasn't sure.
But Izmi smiled slightly, and said, "Well, you're still sick, it's not convenient, I'll feed you." ”
This man is really able to open his eyes and talk nonsense, and I am not very convenient, not because of illness, but because of the ropes that bind me. Besides, if he hadn't tied me up, causing my injuries to worsen and I had a fever, how could I be as embarrassed as I am now?
The medicine came to me, Izmi's fingers were slender and graceful, but they were not the weak, slender fingers that could hold a sword and kill people.
I don't know why, but I suddenly remembered that once upon a time, in the tent in the desert oasis, he brought me food......
At that time, I knew that he was not simple, but I would not have imagined that our reunion would be in such a situation.
I smelled it and knew what kinds of herbs were in the medicinal soup. He really wanted to heal me.
It's also natural. He had taken me from Egypt with great effort, and he could not let me die halfway, and it would have done him no good.
The medicinal soup should have just been boiled, and Izmi's voice was gentle: "Be careful of scalding." ”
No need for you cat crying mouse.
I took a sip of the medicinal soup, and Izmi was obviously not good at this kind of service work compared to Unas, and he didn't care if he spilled some of the medicinal soup on the side of the bed.
I drank as much as I could, and I drank medicine so that I could get better sooner. At last there was some dregs left at the bottom of the jar, and he said, "You seem to be very thirsty." It was my negligence, and people with a fever naturally wanted to drink more water. ”
I pursed my lips and didn't speak. The medicinal soup is a little sour and bitter, but probably because of the fever, the tongue feels very dull, and it doesn't feel unpleasant.
"Eat something. You didn't eat anything for a day and a night, and your stomach was empty. ”
I was amazed by what he brought - it was porridge! Rice porridge!
"Don't be surprised, I've naturally inquired about your preferences."
What does he do when he asks me about my preferences?
I looked at him warily, and Izmi put the porridge bowl aside, sat down on the edge of the bed, reached over and loosened the rope around my wrist: "I just didn't think of it...... Queen Isis turned out to be someone I knew, the gluttonous little girl I always remembered. ”
I didn't say a word and turned my head to the side.
He paused for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you." ”
My mood was not relaxed at all by his assurance, but more cautious.
