Chapter 112: Sinbad (Part II)
Everyone walked towards the woods, the road was lined with flowers, the rockery pavilions dotted the green grass, and around a turquoise pool, until finally they came to the house that was more beautiful than the palace.
There was an iron cage at the gate, and a mighty lion was napping in the cage, and when he saw someone approaching, he got up and roared, which frightened several Tibetan mastiffs behind Laden.
"Raising a lion to watch the gate, this Sinbad's hobby is really different." The tower finds it a little interesting.
When you open the gold-encrusted door, you will be greeted by a thick Persian carpet, crystal lampstands lit with bright candles, and the walls and furniture are inlaid with gold ornaments.
Although Zheng He is well-informed, he can't help but secretly say to himself, this Sinbad is really rich, is his family a gold mine?
Silver cutlery was already set on the huge table, Sinbad clapped his hands, and twenty or thirty servants rushed in, holding fine wine and food. Behind each guest is two servants, one holding a towel and a basin of water, while the other pours wine and vegetables.
"Please!" Sinbad raised her glass.
"Thank you!" The guests also raised their glasses to thank the host, and the guests and hosts drank heartily and had a good conversation.
……
"Bring the wine!" Laden slapped the table and shouted, he was reprimanded by Sinbad for no reason, his heart was very unhappy, he hid in the room alone and drank stuffy wine, as the saying goes, wine is more sorrowful, this sentence is really not wrong, the wine that used to be so mellow is as tasteless as boiled water at the moment.
A thief-eyed guy pushed the door in with two jugs of wine, which was the same black belt that had let the dog bite the man before. He first diligently helped bin Laden fill up the wine, and then said indignantly: "Lord Steward, we have seen all today's events, you have done nothing wrong at all, and the master has not given you face." ”
"Ribbon, you still know me." Bin Laden was greatly moved, "Why is Sinbad yelling at me?" His father and I were brothers who grew up in open crotch pants, and I made a lot of contributions to his family becoming the richest man in Babylon. If I hadn't pounced on it and blocked it, old Sinbad would have been killed by the robbers. Be the richest man? Phew! it! He pointed to the scar on his face, furious.
This scar is bin Laden's military medal for the Sinbad family, he used to like to show off when he had nothing to do, and all the family guards worshipped his loyal protector, but at this time this scar seemed to be a great irony.
"What do I get at the end of the day? Can't even afford a decent house. The more Laden spoke, the more angry he became, "Sinbad just voted for a good fetus, and with such a good father leaving thousands of family fortunes for him to squander, a loser like him will sooner or later lose all his possessions and go to the street to ask for food." ”
"Lord Steward, in fact, it is really worthless to stoop to the master with your talents." Ribbon also felt the same way, "Although you are a high-ranking steward, in the eyes of your master, you are just a servant who is a little higher than us, and he is not happy to use you as a punching bag?" ”
Laden sighed and said helplessly: "It is a matter of course that the bowl of the servant is in charge of the man, who called him rich?" ”
"That's right, but it's ......" Wu Dai said half a sentence, and quickly covered his mouth to stop his words.
"But what?"
"The little ones don't dare to say it."
"What don't you dare to say? But it doesn't hurt to say it! ”
Wu Dai thought about it for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to speak, "You also said just now that the master will go to ask for food sooner or later, and instead of asking him to give money to those irrelevant outsiders, why don't you give it to this great hero?" With your talents, you will definitely earn more than you do now, and our brothers will have a better life with you, don't you think? After saying that, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Ladan looked at the black belt in surprise, as if he only met him today, he is really unseemly, the sea is incomprehensible, I can't imagine that although this guy looks obscene, he is so good at speaking, this is a talent!
Osama bin Laden paced the room with his hands behind his back, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling. There was a fierce battle going on in his heart, should he continue to be a faithful poor servant, or should he try what it was like to be the richest man?
Ribbon looked at Laden nervously with wide eyes, was it so difficult to choose? Did you see the wrong person?
Finally, Laden's fist slammed down on the table, gritted his teeth, and said: "No one is rich or rich, and horses are not fattened, I am so miserable because I am too merciful, if I miss this opportunity again, my life will really be over." Ribbon, we'll find a way to kill Sinbad tonight, you go and contact a few trustworthy brothers, and everyone will have a share of the property after the fact. ”
"Okay, okay!" Ribbon nodded hurriedly, and then went out happily. In order to be able to convince bin Laden, he thought about it for a long time, and was worried that this fool would not only listen to his own advice, but would have tied me up and handed me over to Sinbad, which was a good thing, and fortunately this kind of thing did not happen, which fully proved that his vision was correct.
"Ruthless and ungrateful, the Lord Steward is indeed a fellow believer like me. Now that my plan is halfway through, I'll find a way to get rid of this brave and unscrupulous guy, and I'll be the richest man in Babylon by then. Thinking of this, Wu Dai smirked, how could I be so smart?
……
After a full meal, Sinbad said enthusiastically, "Let's go to the beach and rest!" Bask in the sun and fish, and if you are interested, you can also swim in the sea. Life is like this, what more can a husband ask for? ”
There are more than a dozen deck chairs lined up on the beach, and various fruit snacks are placed on the coffee table next to it, and a large umbrella is carefully held on it.
"Master Xin, you really enjoy it!" Ding Erniu was envious, Sinbad was about the same age as himself, but he lived an emperor-like life, he was really more popular than others!
Sinbad said proudly: "Life is short and you should be happy in time, my life is worth it, clothes to stretch out, food to open mouth, endless gold and silver, endless wine, compared to those who are tired all day for a dinner, I am so lucky." ”
"You're so rich, what kind of business are you doing?" Eiffel Tower asked curiously.
Sinbad shook his head, "I haven't made a penny since I was a child, and I am able to have such a life thanks to my father." He started from scratch, dared to take risks, and worked hard for most of his life to create such a big family business, he is the person I admire the most. ”
Tie Ta was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "When it comes to your father, you have a face of admiration, and I feel the same way, he is indeed a great person. But have you ever thought about it, if one day your son asks you, 'Daddy, what have you done in your life to be proud of?' How do you answer him? ”
Sinbad was stunned, no one had ever asked him this question, and he didn't bother to think about it, because the question was too illusory, and he didn't need to think about such troublesome things.
"I can see that you're not having a good time at all." Iron Tower looked at Sinbad with his wise eyes, "Although you have no worries about food and clothing, your heart is extremely empty, because you find that you have gradually lost the purpose of life, have no fighting spirit, and begin to become decadent, what is the point of living such a good life materially?" ”
Sinbad looked at the tower in amazement, and these words were simply enlightening, and they were shocking. Oh, yes! In addition to eating and sleeping every day, what is the difference between this and the life of a pig? I have tried to change, but it is like a person who is lost in the dark and has no direction at all. "Tower King, what should you teach me how to do it?" Sinbad said sincerely.
"Life in the world is not only for eating, drinking and having fun, but also for higher pursuits." Tieta said earnestly, "You are young and promising, full of vitality, why don't you go and make a career?" Whether you succeed or fail, when you are old, you can proudly say to your children and grandchildren, 'I have struggled, and I have not wasted my time in this life.'" ”
The Tower's words were like a light in the night, illuminating the direction of Sinbad. "You're right, I can't live this decadent life anymore, and I believe I can make a career." Looking at the dense treasure ships in the distance, Sinbad's eyes lit up, "Master Zheng has been to the West seven times, not only conquered the world, but also conquered the sea, he is my role model in life, if I can go to sea seven times in this life, what a happy thing it would be!" Even if you die on the voyage, you won't have any regrets. I have already decided that tomorrow I will go to Baghdad to buy a dozen big ships, and then like you, I will fight the wind and waves, let myself fly, and be an admirable navigator for centuries. ”
Tie Ta and Zheng He gave a thumbs up and praised in unison: "You will definitely be able to do it!" ”
"Look there!" Suddenly, Ding Erniu pointed to the sea and shouted. Everyone looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a huge whale rolling in the sea, stirring up waves several feet high, and the sound was extremely terrifying. Before he knew it, he drifted towards the shore, and when he wanted to turn away, he found something very sad: he was stranded! Although the sea was so close at hand, it was so far away for him that he could never go back.
The tower was the first to run towards the whales, and the others scrambled to catch up. Everyone was stunned by his huge body, twenty or thirty meters long, I am afraid that it weighed tens of thousands of pounds, lying in shallow water like a capsized ship, the size of the ocean overlord shark is not small, but compared to him, it is a small thing.
The whale twisted desperately and moved towards the sea, but all efforts were in vain, and the bunker beneath him grew deeper and deeper.
Ding Erniu said worriedly: "If you can't return to the sea in time, the whale will be very dangerous, and he won't be able to survive an hour under the sun." ”
The tower instructed the sailors to keep pouring water on the whale to prevent him from dying of dehydration. "Brother, you are too careless, why did you go to the beach without wind and waves?" The tower couldn't help but count him down.
The whale, pale and sweating profusely, said bitterly: "I kept thrashing in the sea because my stomach hurt so badly, and by the time I noticed the danger it was too late." ”
"You don't have to worry, there are so many of us who will definitely be able to send you back to the sea." The tower comforted.
"Alas! In fact, it doesn't matter to me whether I go back to the sea or not. The whale sighed, "I suddenly had a strange thought, in fact, it is good to be sunburned to death, and it is better to have a long pain than a short pain, so that you can be relieved." ”
Tie Ta touched his belly, hard as a stone, this is intestinal blockage caused by indigestion, if it is a puppy and lamb, Tie Ta is absolutely sure to cure, but now he is facing the largest animal on the earth, he has never had such a major operation, this is a difficult challenge.
