Chapter 563 The Shepherd and His Daughter
Hassan's home is here.
It was a flat-topped house made of clay and stone. There were three rooms. A floor curtain woven with thatch hanging on the window blocked the view, but it could be lifted up by the wind. The door was made of branches, with thick and thin floors, and there was no door shaft or anything. It was just tied to the door frame with two hemp ropes.
But even such a home is considered a standard middle class in this era. Houses, land and sheep are all amazing assets.
"Aliye!" Hassan called out from a distance.
A door opened and a blond girl walked out.
Luoyang's vision was instantly straightened and he was stunned.
The blonde girl who walked out of the room was tall and long, with bulging front and raised back, which was eight or nine points similar to Fatima. Especially the big duck pear, which was almost exactly the same as Fatima. So when she first saw her, Luoyang had the illusion that she was Fatima.
But Fatima's body could not appear here, but if Fatima also came in, the one who matched her would definitely be the Aliye in front of her.
After a brief moment of being stunned, Luoyang almost couldn't help calling Fatima's name, but Aliye's eyes gave him aside - she looked at him shyly, and that was the look of looking at strangers.
Hassan said something in Persian.
Aliye's eyes changed a little, and he said a little affection and gratitude.
Although Luoyang couldn't understand what Hassan said just now, he could guess that it was related to his treatment of his injuries.
Hassan looked at Luoyang with a smile: "My benefactor, my daughter also knows some Chinese language, you can talk."
Luoyang smiled back, and he greeted Aliye: "Hello Miss Aliye."
"Brother Luo, Ri'an." Aliye squatted down with a slight squat, crossed his hands and pressed his lower left waist, and gave a blessing gift.
Luoyang was slightly stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was in the Anxu Kingdom, which coexisted with the Han Dynasty. The merchants of the Han Dynasty came to do business on the Silk Road. The Chinese language learned by the people here was ancient Chinese. He also reminded himself that he must pay attention to his words later and try not to use modern words.
"My benefactor, I'll go kill the sheep, you can wait for a moment," said Hassan.
Luoyang wanted to say no, but then he thought that Hassan went to kill the sheep and left him the opportunity to get along with Aliye alone, so he bowed to Hassan.
It's just a trumpet, it's not formal.
The regular bowing ceremony of the Han Dynasty was to press the right hand with your left hand, raise your hands and bow 90 degrees, and then put down your hands after standing upright.
However, there is no need to be so particular. The father and daughter are not from the Han Dynasty, so they learn some Chinese dialect and etiquette.
Hassan went to kill the sheep with a knife.
Luoyang took a look at the sky. The sun was already west. It was almost four or five o'clock in the afternoon. He reached into his pocket and wanted to take out his Phoenix Eye's phone to see the specific time. However, he saw Aliye staring at him with a pair of beautiful sapphire eyes, and he pulled his hand out of his pocket.
This is a world a thousand eight hundred years ago. The clothes he wore were strange enough. If he had to put his cell phone again, he would have to wear a cell phone.
It would be even more strange if you come out to watch the time and play short videos or something.
It was this action of taking out the phone to watch the time that made him think of something. He felt the evil spirit of the Feather Blade without any reaction.
"Brother Luo, come into the house and sit down. I will pour you a bowl of water." Aliye said.
"I'm working hard." Luoyang replied.
Aliye turned around and entered the house.
Luoyang took the opportunity to take out the Eye of the Feather Blade and glanced at it, but he couldn't even wake up the screen.
Luoyang was confused and said secretly: "I came in all of me, and this mobile phone was also on me. It is said that the evil spirit of the Feather Blade should have come in too, why did it become like this? Could it be that after it came in, it also matched something?"
No way to know.
Luoyang was a little worried. He had a real way to enter the world of shadow, but he didn't know how evil spirits would bring it out when they came in. He had zero experience in this area.
But he also knew that it was useless to worry about things at this point. There were priorities and he had to find the truth about the curse first.
While thinking about this, Luoyang also entered the door.
This is a place to cook and eat. There is a fire pit on the ground, next to the fire pit, facing some dried firewood and suspected cow dung cakes. There is a layer of hay under the corner of the wall on the right, and a large flat stone is placed in the middle. It is probably the dining table for the father and daughter to eat.
"Brother Luo, please sit down." Aliye pointed to Luoyang at the pile of hay laid under the corner.
Luoyang walked over and sat on the edge.
Aliye poured a glass of water into Luoyang from a double-eared pot with an ugly stone pot and handed it to his hands. Then, she sat next to Luoyang and stared at Luoyang.
"I'm working hard." Luoyang said a polite word.
Aliye smiled and said, "Brother Luo is out."
Luoyang took a look at the stone pottery bowl held in his hand. The bowl was a little dirty, but he still raised it and took a sip of water, and then placed it on the flat stone. From entering the house to now, he has been observing Aliye's expression and reaction. Although it was not long, he had almost confirmed a situation, that is, Fatima was not on Aliye.
In fact, he didn't need to observe and perceive him. He came in. If Fatima was in Aliye, she would recognize him at a glance. It would be fine if she couldn't recognize her father when she was there. Now that her father is going to kill sheep, how could she not recognize him?
However, Luoyang couldn't help but test it: "Miss Aliye, do you know a girl named Fatima?"
Aliye shook his head and asked Luoyang back: "Brother Luo, is that girl named Fatima your lover? Are you here to find her?"
Sure enough, a woman’s gossip ability is independent of dynasty.
"Well, Fatima is my friend's daughter. She is only three years old and is lost. I will help my friend find it." Luoyang said.
"Brother Luo, does your friend live in Shizhongcheng?"
"Yes, his name is Muhammadi."
Aliye looked solemn and said worriedly: "There is a group of robbers nearby. They often rob property and rob hostages of all kinds. I am worried that it was the group of robbers who rob Fatima and they would ask for ransom."
"Have you been to Shizhongcheng?" Luoyang asked.
He was not interested in the gang of robbers. He just found an excuse to explain why he appeared here. He was too lazy to show a nervous reaction when he heard the news. What he wanted to figure out the most was the source of the curse and the identity of the Eastern Witch, so he led the topic in that direction.
"I have been there. Every autumn, after the sheep is fattened, my father and I will send the fattened food to Master Basha's house. This small oasis belongs to Master Basha, and the sheep and land here belong to him." Aliye said.
The middle class in the Rest Country is wrong.
"Are you and Uncle Hassan the slaves of Mr. Basha?"
"No, my father and I are free people. We pay rent to Mr. Basha every year. Mr. Basha is a very kind master. I can live here with his blessings." When Aliye talked about Mr. Basha, there was light in her eyes.
From this point of view, it can be seen that Mr. Basha should be a good person.
"Miss Aliye, have you ever heard of the Shadow Chaser Organization when you went to Shizhongcheng?" Luoyang got to the point.
Aliye shook his head: "No, every autumn, I go to the city with my father. If I pay the rent and have extra money, my father will buy me some things for my daughter's household, salt, etc. Sometimes he will buy me some food. That is the happiest day of the year."
Her face was filled with a happy and satisfied smile.
Luoyang was unhappy, and he wanted nothing about the information.
Do you still want to stay?
Luoyang was a little hesitant.
Before coming, he was wondering if this was the cycle of history, but after he found out that this was the whole person coming in, he overturned the idea. In the story told by Fatima, the great witch of the East sealed the Holy Spirit. After leaving the Stone City, he met a daughter who looked like a girl. After a one-night stand, she had a beaded secret, leaving a baby girl with a sword-shaped seal. Later, she was found by the shadow chaser organization and regarded as a saint.ωωw..net
Fatima did not say the name of the shepherd, nor did the name of the shepherd's daughter, so he was not sure if it was Hassan and Aliye. After all, there were many shepherds here who raised their daughters. If Hassan and Aliye were not the father and daughter of the shepherd in the Fatima story, what's the point of staying?
"Brother Luo, are you a businessman of the big man?" Luoyang didn't say anything, and Aliye found a topic to talk to Luoyang.
Luoyang was about to speak when a rumbling sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside.
Aliye suddenly became nervous and hurriedly got up and ran out.
Luoyang did not go out, his eyes fell on a scimitar of chopping firewood, and his thoughts of leaving this shadow world became stronger and stronger.
Fatima is still outside, and he doesn't know his life or death. He has made no progress here, and staying here is a waste of time.
"I'd better go back." Luoyang got up and walked towards the knife that chopped wood.
Get it!
The sound of horse hooves galloped.
"Ah-" a woman screamed.
That was Aliye's voice.
Luoyang sighed, turned around and ran towards the door.
He is not the kind of person who will never save him. If he leaves like this, his conscience will be uneasy.
More than a dozen war horses rushed past the door, and Aliye, who had just run out, was pressed on the back of a warrior in leather armor.
Hassan, who was killing sheep under a poplar tree, rushed to the front of the horse team, spreading his arms to stop the person. However, the warrior who was riding a horse in front had no intention of stopping the horse. He clamped his legs and hit him directly.
