Chapter 137: Mane
"Big brother, you really don't consider being the sacred cow of the Nile tribe?" The camels are still making their last efforts.
"Brother, I'm used to being lazy, I'm not suitable for this position, Thor is the best candidate, we'll have a date later." The tower waved his hand and strode towards the sea.
The time was just right, Zheng He and Lord Wang had already made the big red robes and were waiting, "Congratulations, you have finally revealed the mystery of the dream." ”
"How do you know?" The tower was a little strange, they had just gotten on the boat and didn't even sit on the stool, how did they know so quickly?
"What's so strange about that? I can't think of anything else in this world that can be difficult for you. Zheng He smiled, "Tell us about it!" ”
"Don't go too fast, the more detailed the better." Lord Wang slowly took out a pen and paper.
"Do you want to write it down? Don't you want to make it so grand! The tower suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"It's necessary." Lord Wang said solemnly, "This is our first-hand knowledge of Misier, and we must be meticulous and serious." ”
"Oh well! I try my best. The tower took a sip of tea, and then he told the story.
Zheng He and Lord Wang are sometimes excited, sometimes nervous, but more terrifying, this experience of the King of the Iron Tower is really wonderful, thrilling, and eloquent, more enjoyable than listening to the story under the overpass.
"It should be okay to hide it a little!" The tower muttered in his heart, the process of entering the Sphinx icon and the pyramid of Khufu was very strange, after thinking about it repeatedly, he decided not to say it, the reason why he did this was for two reasons, one was to respect the privacy of the pharaoh, and the other was that it was very dangerous inside, if the news of the treasure in the tower leaked out, it would definitely cause the covetousness of the tomb robbers, and it would not be good if there were countless deaths and injuries at that time.
"King Tower, thank you!" Zheng He solemnly locked the manuscript in the safe.
"What else can I tell me?" The tower drank all the tea in one gulp and went back to the room to sleep.
As the fleet moved on, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the sailors were still sweating in their short coats. The tower feels very comfortable, compared to the barren desert, there is food, drink and sea breeze, it is simply an imperial enjoyment.
That night, when the fleet docked in a calm sea, the tower surfaced from the bottom of the sea, complaining: "Those dolphins are so bad that they said they would play hide and seek with me, but they slipped away quietly without even saying hello, and caused me to hide in the seaweed for most of the hour, which is really not interesting." ”
In the distance, three small boats came silently, although the moonlight was hazy, but the tower could still see clearly, there were more than twenty people on the boat, except for their teeth, their bodies were as black as charcoal, their hair was very curly, their lips were very thick, they were wearing only a pair of shorts, and they were holding famous weapons in their hands.
"Mane, take a few men to scuttle their ship." A strong black man more than two meters tall and weighing two or three hundred pounds ordered.
The black man sitting opposite him hesitated for a moment, and said weakly, "Chief, if you scuttle the ship, many people will die!" Didn't they all sneak up and grab it before? ”
It turned out to be a pirate! Tie Ta hehe sneered, this group of guys who don't have long eyes dare to rob the things of the Daming Water Master, isn't this looking for death?
Hearing only a crisp sound of "pop", the chief slapped Mane hard, and the young man covered his face and said aggrievedly: "You...... Why did you hit me? ”
"What's wrong with hitting you?" The chief said angrily, "Are you pig-brained?" With such a large fleet, isn't it looking for death to climb up with our little manpower? It would be much safer to scuttle the ship and then go to the gold. Look at your stupid appearance, if it weren't for the fact that your grandfather and my father are cousins, Lao Tzu wouldn't have taken you out to make a fortune! ”
After teaching Mane, the chief began to reprimand the others again, "Listen, being a pirate is a promising profession, but use your brains, don't just think about brute force, you know? ”
"Got it." The pirates replied resignedly.
The chief smiled with satisfaction, as the supreme commander of this team, they must obey their orders unconditionally, and only in this way can a powerful pirate team be created.
Mane went into the water with a few of his accomplices, held his breath and dived towards the treasure ship, only to change two or three breaths before reaching the bottom of the ship. The pirates pulled out their ship-digging tools from their waists, ready to wreak havoc.
"Mali, are you really going to do this?" Mane stopped one of the pirates, "Did you know that this will kill a lot of people?" Is your conscience okay? ”
"Brother, I don't want to either! But if we don't, the chief won't let us go. Mali was also helpless, "Don't forget, your son is waiting at home for you to take the money to save him!" ”
This Mane has a good conscience, so let's spare his life! The tower is not an indiscriminate person, he can clearly distinguish which people are heinous villains and which ones still have room for salvation. "Hey! What do you do? The tower screamed coldly.
The sudden shout frightened several pirates, and when they turned their heads, they saw a large buffalo standing behind them angrily.
"Isn't it just a buffalo? What is there to be afraid of, slaughter him and we can have a full meal. A pirate drew a dagger and stabbed it at the tower.
"Heaven can do evil, but you can't live if you do it yourself! I can't blame you for wanting to spare your lives, but you killed yourself. The tower sneered, grabbed the pirate's arm and twisted it back, and the dagger plunged into his own chest, sinking to the bottom of the ocean like a dead fish.
"Run!" The other pirates were so frightened that they fled in all directions, although gold is a good thing, it must also be enjoyed!
The tower didn't bother to chase them, but threw himself straight at the small boat where the chief was sitting, and with a slight flick the three boats turned upside down, and it was up to their luck to survive or not.
The movement in the sea woke up the sailors guarding the treasure ship, and a large net was cast from above, and a pirate dragged onto the deck.
Looking at so many heavily armed soldiers, Mane trembled with fright, and his heart was even more regretful, "Why am I so unlucky!" The first time I was a pirate, I was caught, was it because I did something against my conscience, and God was punishing me? He quickly knelt down in front of an officer and begged: "Spare me!" I have a 60-year-old mother and a 6-year-old child, and I am a pirate of last resort. ”
Zheng He was happy in his heart, this sentence begging for mercy is really common all over the world! He asked in a deep voice, "What's your name?" Where did it come from? ”
Mane replied honestly: "My name is Mane, and I belong to the Maasai tribe in the country of Malin (present-day Kenya). ”
"Malin?" Zheng He was suddenly sad when he heard this, he remembered the past twenty years ago, when the fleet encountered a storm at sea, and the originally planned trip to Malin had to be abandoned, and what was even more regrettable was that he lost his friend Lao Bai forever.
If it weren't for that storm, Lao Bai would not have been in the grassland, and there would be no iron tower today." Thinking of this, Zheng He's heart finally became relieved, and he didn't expect that this place was already very close to the Masai Mara grassland, and he would lose another confidant in the near future.
At this time, the tower also returned to the ship, and when he saw Mane, he couldn't help but smile, this guy is really unlucky, he let him go and didn't expect to be fished up by the sailors again. "There is still a trace of kindness in your heart, I will spare your life for the time being, and if there is a next time, I will not be forgiven!" The tower shouted.
Mane kowtowed busily, "I promise there won't be a next time, definitely not!" ”
"Lord Zheng, it seems that you are quite interested in this place, why don't we go ashore and take a walk!" The tower also knew that his return was approaching, because he saw the majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance, which was Majaro! The mountain is the Taoyuan country that he has been thinking about for a long time, so while there is still time, let's accompany him as much as possible! In the future, I can only dream about it.
"Yes! Our Africa has a unique landscape, and the hemp forest is known as a paradise for wild animals, with endless savannahs and fierce animals such as lions, hippos, and crocodiles. Mane said flatteringly.
When it comes to the African savannah, we bison are not mentioned, doesn't this look down on people? The tower was not happy, and said with a straight face: "By the way, let's see if you are lying." ”
Mane, who had just calmed down, panicked again, "I...... I'm not lying, it's all ...... It's all the truth. ”
"Brother, don't tease him, look at the child who scares him, he can't talk about it." Zheng He laughed out loud to verify whether he was lying, so we don't have that idle time! "But you have a good idea, so go ashore and play around!"
Finally waiting for dawn, Mane began to get excited, and after being locked up for a night, he could finally go home to see his son, but then again, these Chinese people were really good, not only did they not beat themselves, but they also gave themselves food, which was much better than the chief.
Zheng He ordered a thousand sailors to go ashore with Manet, this is not to show off force, it is the pirate's lair, it is better to be careful.
The Maasai is the largest tribe in the country of Malin, with a total of more than 10,000 people, living at the foot of the mountain not far from the sea, where there are few people and people do not know how to farm, and of course they cannot eat enough by hunting alone, so being a pirate is the first choice for many young people.
At a glance, the tower was densely packed with dilapidated tents, garbage was everywhere under the feet, sewage flowed sideways, and big-headed flies were "buzzing" overhead, but rats and cockroaches were not, and they were probably caught and eaten. Many black children were rolling naked in the garbage heap, and it was curious to see so many yellow-skinned and black-eyed foreigners.
"Erniu, give them something to eat." Zheng He said with a smile.
Ding Erniu took out a bag of candy from his bag, and the colorful packaging made the little ones drool, and they couldn't drive away after the sailor's buttocks, until each person shared one, and then left happily.
"I remember you don't seem to like candy, why did you bring so much this time?" Eiffel Tower asked.
"Oh, I'm here for Mane's family, and I always have to bring some gifts when I go to someone's house for the first time." Zheng He said with a smile.
"Or you're thoughtful." The tower really admires, Zheng He, as the patrol envoy of the Daming Water Division, is of course very busy with work, and it is indeed not easy to keep this small thing as a sesame mung bean in mind.
The sailors set up camp in an open area, and Zheng He and the tower visited Mane's house, a house made of stone with a thick layer of leaves on the roof.
