Chapter 126 The Story of the Sea Maiden and Her Son-18

Bailu Babu struggled and planned to climb into the city and find a place to rest.But when he got to the city gate, many mules, horses and donkeys stopped him and kicked him together, not allowing him to enter the city.He had no choice but to go back to the beach, swim to the back of the city, and then go ashore. This time nothing stopped him.He came to the city, but there was no one there, and he felt very strange. He walked aimlessly and said to himself: "There is no king or people in this city. Who is in charge? Why are the mules, horses and donkeys who refused to let me enter the city disappeared? What's going on?" After turning around for a while, he came across an old man selling vegetables and fruits, and walked over to greet him.Seeing that he was handsome, the old man asked:

"Where are you from, child? Why are you here?" Bailu Babu told the old man what happened to him. The old man was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Son, didn't you encounter anything when you entered the city?" "There is no one in the city, I just feel strange." "Come to my shop, boy. You're taking a risk." Bailu Babu walked into the shop and sat down.The old man brought him something to eat and said, "Son, go inside and eat. Praise be to Allah, who has delivered you from the hand of the devil." Bailu Babu felt very frightened. He ate his meal restlessly, washed his hands, looked at the old man blankly, and said, "Old man, what exactly did you just say? Your words frightened me gone."

"Child, you don't know, this is a city that has been enchanted. The queen in the city is treacherous. She was originally a magician and a devil. Those mules, horses and donkeys you see are just like us. People, healthy outsiders. In this city, when young people like you come into the city, they are all forced by the pagan magician queen to stay with her. After playing for forty days, she magics them Become mules, horses, or donkeys, just like you see on the seashore. When you go to the city, they care and love you, and they stop you because they care and love you, and don't want you to be enchanted by the queen like them. They are equal to You say: 'Don't go in, lest the magician see you.' If she sees you, she will treat you as they do. The magician rules this city by magic. Her name is Queen Liaobi."

Hearing the old man's talk, Bailu Babu was terrified, trembling like a bamboo in a storm, and said: "I didn't expect that I just got rid of the disaster brought by magic, and now I am called fate to lead me into this danger." It's over." He was extremely sad when he thought about his experience and situation.The old man looked at him carefully, saw that he was very frightened, and said to him: "Son, come and sit in front of the shop, and watch the passers-by, and let them look at you. They are not enchanted, so you need not be afraid. The queen and the townspeople love and respect me, and no one doubts me. "

Bailu Babu obeyed the old man's arrangement and sat down in front of the shop.I saw many people coming and going, shoulder to shoulder. When people saw him, they all walked up to the old man and asked around: "Old man, is he your prey? Was it your recent catch?" "No, he's my nephew. I sent him here because his father died, so as not to worry me." "He's a smart, handsome boy, and we're worried about him. You old man, take care, don't let the queen see him, and take him away." "The queen has always liked me and protected me. She will not do that. As long as she knows that the child is my nephew, she will not disrespect me and forcefully take him away."
