The small town of Tumusi is located in a tiny tribal group in the desert. The conditions here are very harsh. The lives of nearly a thousand people in the town depend on the supply of water from the surrounding Lake Skitler.
At this time, in a teahouse in the small town, three people were sitting around a table and drinking tea. It looked like they had been living in the open for a long time.
"How far is it from Thebes?" an extremely delicate and thin boy asked another boy next to him.
"We have been walking for five days. If we speed up our pace, we should be able to arrive in ten days."
After listening to Herta's words, Tuvia nodded.
They have finally escaped from the desert of death. Although the town here is poor, it is still a group of living people.
Thinking of the memories of those two days, the three of them still felt a chill in their hearts. The days spent with tens of thousands of zombies were finally far away from them.
"We'll have a day's rest here, and we'll set out immediately after preparing food tomorrow morning."
"So soon?" Horus took a sip from a bowl of tea. It seemed that he was not at all anxious about going to Thebes.
"If you don't leave tomorrow, do you still want to stay here?"
Horus chuckled, "Of course not, I just felt that it seemed a little too peaceful along the way. Don't you think that we came from the corpse place too smoothly? The desert of death that everyone fears was so easily broken by us.
Come out?"
Tuvia raised her eyebrows, feeling that there was something in his words, "What do you mean? Did you discover something?"
Horus glanced around, and then continued to drink tea unhurriedly.
"I'm very hungry now. I'll find a hotel after dinner and we'll continue to discuss this issue."
Tuvia stopped asking, but a great curiosity arose in her heart.
Although Horus was lazy and cunning, he never neglected serious matters. He must have noticed something when he said this?
The three of them ordered some food in the teahouse and ate it in a hurry. They were about to get up and leave, but they were attracted by the people talking at the table next to them.
"Have you heard? Now King Anubis has finally ascended the throne and become the new Pharaoh."
"Really?" another person asked curiously.
"Of course it's true. Notices have been posted on the street. Moreover, this time the pharaoh's coronation ceremony and the celebration of his canonization of the queen are on the same day."
"Oh? Really? Haha, King Anubis is the god of war respected by our Egyptian people and the messenger of the gods. For such a hero, I don’t know what kind of woman his queen is, but I think she must be a beauty.
That’s right.”
"Humph!" The person who broke the news sneered at what the other person said.
"Beauty? That's more than just an ordinary beauty. I heard that she was the princess of the original vassal country of Pisa. She was born with spiritual power and could talk to the gods. The most amazing thing is that with her, Pisa said goodbye to the beautiful girl who lived there more than ten years ago.
A huge famine.”
"Is it so powerful?" The others didn't believe it.
"Of course it's true." The man was frothing at the mouth and looked very funny, as if he had met the mythical queen in person.
"This future queen is not only full of auspicious connotations, but she is also said to be the most beautiful woman in Egypt. She is known as the Egyptian water lily."
"Oh? That's really amazing. Having a queen like her can be said to be even more powerful for King Anubis."
Everyone nodded.
The three people who planned to leave sat around the table, and they were all silent for a while.
Horus secretly glanced at Tuvia's expression, and saw that her face was as cold as ice and emotionless, and he felt annoyed in his heart.
"Ahem, since everyone has finished eating, why are you still sitting here? Let's go?"
He stood up first, and Tuvia followed suit without saying a word. When she walked to the table where the people who had just spoken were standing, her figure flashed suddenly.
Her right hand firmly grabbed the collar of the person who spoke, and with a little force she lifted him up into the air.
Everyone sitting around the teahouse was shocked by this scene. They saw a short and skinny man lifting a tall and sturdy man up.
And there was no sign of him breathing at all, which is incredible!!
"Tell me! Where did you get this news?" came an ice-like voice.
With coldness and intimidation, the teahouse fell completely silent for a moment.
The strong man who was originally just idle and chatting was being carried like this by Tuvia, his dark face turned red from holding back, and he was panting heavily to attack the entertainment industry.
"Dear friend, if you have something to say, say it well and speak it well."
Looking at the strong man in front of him who kept begging for mercy, Tuvia showed disdain on his face.
She stared at him with sinister eyes and squeezed out an extremely cold word from between her teeth.
"explain!"
Looking at the thin boy in front of him, the strong man really didn't expect that he had such great strength. He felt puzzled in his heart.
They were just chatting for a few words, but they didn't expect to cause trouble. Looking at the young man in front of him with a cold look in his eyes, his body trembled involuntarily.
He said hastily, "I said, I said. This news is the message I saw when I entered Batra City yesterday."
There was a fire in Tuvia's heart, burning in her heart. At this time, she wished to see the man immediately and let him tell her himself whether these were true.
The strength in her hand was withdrawn, and the big man was thrown to the ground by her. She turned around and left the teahouse without taking another look.
Horus and Hertha looked at each other and immediately chased away.
"Tuvia!!"
Horus stepped forward and grabbed the lost woman. "Stop!!"
"Let go?" Tuvia's face was cold, and the hatred in his eyes was self-evident.
"Don't let go!" Horus looked at her seriously.
"Are you angry just because of someone else's words? Is this still the calm and self-possessed woman I know? Who said that relationships require mutual trust? Since there is no basic trust between you, why should you be like this?
Are men angry?"
"Go away, I don't need you to say anything to me here?"
Tuvia stretched out her hand that was not held by Horus and struck him hard on the chest.
"puff!!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out from Horus's mouth, and Herta, who was standing aside, hurriedly stepped forward.
"Princess, what King Horus said is right. What you need most now is to calm down and analyze the inside story. I think that with King Anubis' love for you, he can't be like this.
Willingly appoint other women as queens."
Tuvia sneered. "I know exactly what that man is thinking. Don't worry, I will never mess up. You can let go."
Seeing the man who would never let go of his hand even after being beaten to bleeding, Tuvia actually felt ashamed that she had hit him too hard.
"You'd better keep your word."
Horus was full of warning. At this time, he was far from the careless and cynical Horus.
His eyes were full of coldness and depth, and if you looked carefully, you could see deep distress in them.
Tuvia didn't want to study the meaning in his eyes. At this time, she just hoped that she could find a place to sort out the irritable emotions in her heart.
"Let's go to the hotel."
As she spoke, she turned around first, with Horus and Hertha following closely on both sides of her.
The three of them came to a small hotel named "Babula". The environment inside was very simple, and the three-story building was filled with business travelers.
Tuvia and the other three were arranged on the top floor. After asking for a room, Tuvia went upstairs without saying a word. After walking to her room, she closed the door and read Zhang Zixuan's Space Notes.
At this time, she was in a very irritable mood. This emotion made her feel confused, and it made her even more scared.
Is this still Tuvia? Is she still the woman who was always as calm as water? She has changed, become narrow-minded, careless, and concerned about others besides herself.
She had attachment, concern, and even love! She fell in love with Anubis! That's why she felt angry and wanted to rush back to Memphis immediately to reveal Tu Feili's true face.
"This doesn't look like me anymore!"
Tuvia said to herself that this kind of herself made her panic, and she even felt disgusted with herself.
"Quick!"
There was a rapid knock on the door, and Tuvia sat on the bed with no intention of opening the door.
"Button------"
"---------"
"Tuvia, let me in." He knocked hard on the door panel, but there was still no sound from inside.
Horus took a step back and curled his lips. This kind of door panel was not a problem for him. He raised his foot and kicked the door panel hard.
"Frame!" With a sound, the door panel was pushed open with his strength, and Horus stepped in.
Tuvia, who was sitting on the bed, looked coldly at the very excessive man in front of her, "If you don't want to die in an ugly way, get out immediately."
Horus placed the wine flask in his hand on the table in the room, crossed his arms over his chest, and raised his usual evil smile.
"What if I don't get out?"
Tuvia said coldly, "Looking for death."
Her figure floated to Horus like a ghost. Horus smiled evilly and quickly got out of the way, and the two began to chase each other in the house.
Horus's body has basically recovered, but the injury on his back still hurts occasionally, but in order to help this woman relieve her anger, he could only bite the bullet.
Tuvia's moves were brutal enough, but she didn't intend to actually kill Horus. Horus either kept retreating or dodged quickly, showing no real intention to duel with Tuvia.
Half an hour later!!
The two chased them all the way from the house to the rooftop on the top floor. In addition to some washed sheets hanging out to dry, there were some potted flowers planted there.
The rooftop was quite wide, and the two kept fighting. Finally, Horus was slapped to the ground by Tuvia. Tuvia's hand was quite powerful, and Horus frowned, showing pain on his face.
But soon a smile appeared on his face, and his eyes were closed tightly, waiting for a more fierce attack.
Feeling a powerful gust of cold wind hitting him within a millimeter of him, Horus's long eyelashes did not tremble at all.
"Why don't you fight back?"
Tuvia withdrew her attack with a cold face, and Horus opened his eyes and looked at her.
"Why are you fighting back? Now I came here to fight you."
"Hmph! I will forgive you this time, but next time you are looking for a beating, I will not show mercy." Tuvia warned fiercely.
"Hahaha!" Horus fell to the ground, looking up and laughing.
"I'm really looking forward to that day coming, but I also know that you, a woman, will not really return me to the field as a crippled woman."
"Are you very confident? But it doesn't work with me. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try and see if I will be merciful."
After saying the threatening words, Tuvia's hands made a crunching sound.
Horus looked seriously at the woman standing in front of him. Although her face still showed the usual indifference and coldness, those eyes betrayed her heart.
She fell in love with that man and was so deeply in love that she couldn't help herself.
Horus showed a bitter smile. It turns out that strong people will become weak in the face of love. Didn't he also fall deeply into it?
Soon! The gloom on his face was swept away. He stood up from the ground suddenly and reached out to brush off the dust on his clothes.
"I'm talking about unruly woman. Now that you have been fighting with me for so long, do you feel less depressed in your heart? Do you hate me, Horus, even more now?"
Looking at the man with a playful smile in front of her, Tuvia still treated him coldly, "What do you want to say? What do you know?"
"Haha, you are a woman who always has a tough mouth. You don't want anyone to know what you think. To put it bluntly, you just don't want others to see your jokes."
Seeing Tuvia's silence, Horus smiled with a narrow smile. He stepped closer to Tuvia and looked at her face with emotion because of his nonsense.
"Did I say that it's in your heart, huh? Haha, it seems that the man who understands you best is me, Horus."
Tuvia calmed down, climbed up to Horus's neck evilly, and grabbed his collar with her right hand.
The smile on her face was extremely charming and enchanting. Even though she now hid her true appearance, those twinkling moments still made Horus nostalgic for her.
"Since you know me so well, tell me what I'm thinking about right now, huh?"
Horus's eyes were full of meaning, and his lips were close to her earlobe. "Are you thinking that you really want to kiss me?"
Tuvia increased the strength on his hand, suddenly stretched out his hand and hit the opponent's chest again.
"I was wondering how I could get you to shut your damn mouth."
Horus fell to the ground hard due to her palm, with red blood on his lips. He still had the usual evil smile on his face.
He stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, "Tsk, tsk, the blow is still so harsh, but it feels very comfortable when it hits me. I haven't moved my muscles like this for a long time."
The man looking at the ground began to turn pale and his breathing became messy. However, he still spoke extremely rude words.
"Are you looking for death?"
Horus chuckled and put away the joke, "Don't you feel that you felt relieved when you slapped me these times? And in your heart, you only have anger towards me but no trace of that man anymore.
?”
Tuvia's heart was shocked. She actually ignored Horus's intention of seeking a beating. There was guilt in her eyes, and it turned out that he was just caring about her in another way.
"You don't have to feel guilty for giving me these --- these slaps. I am --- I am willing to do it for you."
At this time, Horus's face became paler and paler, and after saying these words, he lay down weakly.
When Tuvia saw it, she quickly stepped aside and helped him up, her face even more apologetic. "I don't deserve you to do this to me, Horus."
