Chapter 586: The Little Foxes in Front of the Old Fox
After the kind words, the Persian told what had happened to them. These Persians, merchants who traveled between the Han Dynasty and Persia, had been caught in a fog on the sea a day earlier. Because they didn't have much water with them, they had the courage to get through the fog.
What they didn't expect was that after their ship had been driving in the fog for most of the day, the fog slowly dissipated, and a lonely island appeared on the sea. These Persians have been coming and going to this sea for many years, and they have never seen this island here. At that time, everyone thought that their ship had deviated from its course because they were running out of water. At that time, I simply sent people to the island to look for water, and if I could meet the Han people, I would ask them what kind of place this was.
What I didn't expect was that the Persians on the island had no news for half a day. At that moment, the leader of the team was in a hurry, and after leaving two people to watch the boat, he personally took the rest of the people into the island in a small boat. As soon as these people landed on the island, they met a few Han Chinese. The costumes of these Han Chinese were somewhat different from those they had encountered before, and after seeing them, the Persians hurried to ask them about the whereabouts of their companions.
These Persians traded in the Han Dynasty all year round, and most of them could speak a few words of Chinese. I had no problem communicating with the Han Chinese, and I thought that even if these people didn't tell them about the whereabouts of their companions, they would tell them that they should go there to find them. What I didn't expect was that these Han people used evil magic to knock them down before they finished speaking. Then one of them forced them to swallow a small stone ball, and when they opened their mouths again, whether they spoke or not, their mouths would utter something like this: this is the abode of the gods...... sounds.
Then they were bombarded back to the big ship by these Han people, and together with the two people watching the boat, they were also stuffed with small stone balls in their mouths. The last few Han Chinese summoned a gust of evil wind to blow their large ship away from the island, and they had been drifting at sea for a day. All communication is based on gestures, as long as there is one mouth, that is: "This place is the abode of the gods, and no mortal is allowed to intrude." Get out of ...... quickly."
The water on the ship has been eaten, and if Wu Mian and Wu Mian can't return to the ship, they can only stay up for another three or four days.
After listening to the experiences of these Persians, he smiled and picked up a scimitar from the ground. Holding it in his hand and playing with it, he said, "So what do you want to do if you want to sneak attack us?" Don't you say you've been frightened and haven't recovered yet......"
"We thought the devils were coming after us again," the Persian sighed, and then continued: "After our ship left Devil's Island, we saw those devils on a boat and chased after us. We tried our best to get rid of them, thinking we had been caught up by their boat. That's when I hid and wanted to rush out suddenly and ...... desperately with them."
"The people on the island are chasing you?" He frowned when he heard this, but seeing the chapped lips of these Persians, the old man smiled, and his body suddenly disappeared from the spot. The action of not returning really scared these people. At the moment, I thought I had met some god, and I began to worship the place where I would not return. After worshipping for a while, he remembered that there was a white-haired man here, and he immediately began to bow to Wu Mian again.
While they were chanting the scriptures and prostrating, the eyes of the Persians were in full bloom. Then they saw that the return that had disappeared just now appeared in front of them again, but when the old guy reappeared, he was carrying two large cowhide bags in his hands, which were bulging with water.
After handing the two large bags of water to the Persians, they could no longer bother to get the water utensils. After opening the water bladder, the mouth grunts into the sac. Although these people were extremely thirsty, they still lined up to drink water one by one. Although the people at the back of the queue waited anxiously, they did not dare to step forward to snatch the water bladder, and they did not even urge them.
After seeing these Persians drink half a bag of water in an orderly manner, they smiled and then said to the Persians in charge, "Are you done drinking?" After drinking, he continued what he had just said. It's not an old man, I said you, what is it when you say half hide and half hide? ”
The Persian was stunned for a moment, and then said to the man: "Old man, I have already said what I should say, do you still know anything?" Do you want to inquire about the whereabouts of Devil's Island? I can't really help you with this, we're just ...... through the fog."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw a flash of lightning suddenly streak across the sky. "Scratch!" With a thud, lightning pierced directly through the Persian's head. In an instant, all the hair on this Persian man had been burned. He smelled burnt all over his body, foaming at the mouth and continuing to convulse.
"Originally, the old man also wanted to talk well, but my old man said it well, and you didn't listen well." After sighing, he suddenly turned around and said to a younger Persian: "Since he can't say it, then there is you, the real leader." From beginning to end, don't try to hide anything from the old man. ”
The Persian did not understand the meaning of returning, and he said with a frightened face: "I am just a merchant who has come to Han to do business. Look there, there's all my goods, spices and jewels from our Persia. If you don't believe me, I still have the road guide and business certificate issued to me by your Han officials. ”
As he spoke, the merchant took out two silk silks with large seals from his bosom. I didn't expect that the old guy in front of him just smiled, and he didn't look at the so-called road guide and business certificate at all, but just smiled at this person and said: "Then tell me, you are all merchants, why do you all have a Persian saber?" Old man, I had a good Persian friend back then, and I recognized the words on your saber: Fight for the true God, right? ”
After hearing the old fellow's words, the young Persian in front of him had already changed his face. But the old fellow didn't finish his words. After smiling, he continued: "Let's talk about the provisions on your ship, the old man and I have been on the ship for a few years. You were trapped in the fog yesterday, and today you are out of water? With so much water and water saved, are you embarrassed to say that you are a businessman? One day's boat, three days of water, I don't even know this, you still go to sea to do business? There is also a casual piling of such valuable things as spices on the deck, and it is also bold enough to let the wind and rain shine. Can't you explain that? So you're talking about the latter thing......
Speaking of this, he closed his mouth without returning. His eyes glanced at Wu Mian with a smile. The white-haired man understood that the old guy would give himself a question again. At that moment, he smiled lukewarmly, and said to the returnee, "Old fellow, you really think that the seal is about to be opened, and you are starting to give me problems, right?" Or do you think I'm blind? They lined up according to the size of their official positions, and it was the turn of the soldiers to drink after the officials had finished drinking. Do you want me to give you a list of the order in which they drink water? ”
After hearing the white-haired man's words, the young Persian had already begun to break out in a cold sweat when he explained with a smile on his face. After the old guy finally finished explaining to Wu Mian, he said to the young man with a smile: "Now it seems that it is not you who entered Devil's Island by mistake. This is all planned by you, and you will drift to the island in the fog along the current, and then go and rob the people on the island. But you didn't expect the people on the island to do magic, and they killed a few of your so-called companions who went to the island to find water on the spot, and then swallowed that little stone behind your back, right? Also, you just hit the boat, and you didn't think the people on the island chased it out. That's going to kill people and take the ship while the people on the ship aren't paying attention, right? ”
After saying a few words, the forehead of the young Persian in front of him was already covered with cold sweat. At this moment, two young Persians behind him jumped out at the same time, drew their daggers that were about to be thick, and stabbed them into the heart of no return.
