Chapter 98 Myron Shamai's Story of Pursuing a Beautiful Woman-3

You must know that I am an ascetic who wanders the world to observe the mysteries of the world.Coincidentally, one day, before noon on Friday, I was wandering in the city of Basra, and I saw that the doors of every house and shop on the street were open, but all the shops were empty. nowhere to be seen.The entire city was completely silent, and there was neither a single figure nor any sign of gods and demons appearing.I was amazed at this scene and said to myself, "Look, the people of the city have gone there with cats and dogs? What has Allah done to them?" I was so hungry that I took hot cakes out of the oven in the bakery, went to the oil shop, dipped the cakes in butter and honey, ate them, went to the teahouse to drink tea, and then went to the coffee shop to drink boiled water from the kettle. coffee.After eating and drinking enough, he said to himself: "This is really strange! It seems that the residents in the city died suddenly, or because they escaped from a sudden disaster, they didn't have time to lock the door of the shop and escape!"

Just as I was thinking hard and talking to myself, there was a sudden loud drumming.I felt very frightened, so I hid quickly and peeked out from the hole quietly. I saw a group of beautiful girls, none of them covered their veils, coming in pairs.As I counted, there were eighty of them in total, divided into forty pairs.Among them was a young girl who rode a steed with jeweled saddles and silver bridles. The little girl had no veil on her face, and she was dressed in the most expensive clothes and costumes. Allure.Around her neck was a gemstone necklace, on her chest was a jeweled and jade pectoral, on her hands were sparkling bracelets, and on her feet were jeweled and jade-encrusted anklets.The rest of the girls hugged her.Beside her was a female bodyguard with a long sword made of emerald, and the scabbard was inlaid with jewels and jade.

The beautiful girl came near the coffee shop, reined in the horses, and said: "Girls, I heard someone panting in this shop, please go in and check, don't let anyone hide in there and peek at us. None of us wore veils." The girls were ordered to go in and search carefully.At that time, I hid in the coffee shop opposite, scared to death.After a while, I saw them searching for a man from the shop, brought him to the girl, and said, "Madam, we found a man from the shop. Here, this is the man in front of you." "Kill him!" she told the female bodyguard.The female bodyguard stepped forward, drew out her sword, and killed the man with one blow.

Then they left the body behind and walked away. I witnessed what happened and was terrified to death.After a while, people appeared in the market one after another, and everyone returned to their shops.More and more people gathered around to see the murdered person.Taking advantage of the chaos and noise of the people, I got out of the coffee shop. Although I was not seen, my heart followed the girl.I have a soft spot for her, and I have inquired everywhere in private, but no one has told me about her.I was full of worries, thinking of her all the time, and finally left Basra and wandered here. When I saw your son by chance, I thought he looked exactly like that girl.The son reminded me of that girl, touched my deep affection for her, so I couldn't help crying.This is why I mourn and weep.

The ascetic talked about his experience, cried a lot, and said to the merchant: "My master! I swear to Allah, please, let me go." The businessman took pity on him very much, and respectfully opened the door to see him off.
