Gosimu's wife thought about it and couldn't understand it.At dusk, when Gosimu came back from the tour, she immediately said to him impatiently: "You man! You always thought that you were a wealthy businessman and the richest person. Now open your eyes and take a look. Your brother Ali Baba is poor on the surface, but secretly rich like a prince. I dare say that his wealth is much greater than yours, and he has accumulated so many gold coins that it needs to be measured. Your gold coins are just a glance Just look at it and you'll know the number." "Where did you hear that?" Gosimu asked suspiciously.

Gesimu's wife immediately told Alibaba's wife how she came to borrow and return the promotion, and how she found a gold coin stuck in the promotion. Show him the gold coins marked with name, year number, etc. When Gosimu found out about this, he felt surprised, but also felt envious and suspicious.That night, because greedy thoughts haunted him all the time, he tossed and turned all night, and at dawn the next day he got up hastily, went to Ali Baba, and said: "Brother! You pretend to be poor and pitiful on the surface, but in fact you don't show your face. I know that you have accumulated countless gold coins. The amount is so large that it can only be counted with buckets."

"Can you make it clearer? I don't understand what you're talking about at all." "Don't pretend to be confused! You know exactly what I'm talking about." Kosimo showed him the gold coin angrily, "You have thousands of gold coins like this, and this is just when you measure the gold coins." , it’s just the one found by my wife stuck to the bottom of the lift.” Ali Baba suddenly realized that this matter had been known by GMX and his wife, and thought to himself: This matter can no longer be kept a secret.In this case, simply tell it all.Although he knew that this would bring misfortune and disaster, but in such a situation, he really had no choice but to be forced to tell his brother without reservation about the discovery of the robbers hiding treasures in the cave.

After hearing this, GMX said sharply: "You must tell me everything you saw, especially the exact address of the cave where the gold coins are stored, and the two curse code words to open and close the cave door. Now I want to warn you , If you refuse to tell me all this, I will report you to the government, and they will confiscate your money, arrest you and go to jail, and you will end up with nothing but money.” Under the intimidation of his brother, Ali Baba had no choice but to tell the location of the cave and the code words for opening and closing the cave door, word by word.Gosimu listened carefully, keeping all the details in his mind.

Early the next morning, Gosimu drove ten hired mules to the mountain.According to Alibaba's narration, he first found the big tree where Ali Baba was hiding, and successfully found the mysterious hole. The scene before him was similar to what Ball said. He believed that he had reached his destination, so he shouted Said: "Sesame, open the door!" Following Gosimo's shout, the cave door suddenly opened. Gosimo walked into the cave, and as soon as he stood still, the cave door closed automatically. He didn't care about this, because his attention was completely attracted by the mountain of treasures.Facing so many gold and silver treasures, he was very excited and a little overwhelmed.After calming down his emotions, he hurriedly collected gold coins and put them in bags one by one, and then moved them to the door one by one, ready to carry them out of the cave and carry them home.After everything was ready, he came to the closed cave door.But because he was too excited before, he forgot the code word to open the door, but shouted: "Damai, open the door!" The cave door was still closed.

This time, he panicked.He shouted out all kinds of names belonging to soybeans, wheat and grains in one breath, but he couldn't remember the name "sesame".He suddenly felt terrified, fidgeted, kept turning around in the hole, and lost interest in the gold coins placed behind the door ready to be taken away. Due to Gosimu's excessive greed and jealousy, unexpected disasters have been incurred, and he has stepped into a desperate situation with no way to go to heaven and nowhere to go to earth.Now that his life is at stake, of course it is even more impossible to realize his dream of getting rich.

In the middle of the night, when the robbers came back from their robbery, under the moonlight, they saw groups of animals in front of the cave from afar. They wondered: How did these animals get here? The bandit leader led his minions to the cave, and everyone dismounted from their horses, said the code word, and the cave door opened accordingly.Gosimu had already heard the crowing of horses in the cave, from far to near, and knew that the robbers had returned.He felt that his life was in danger, and he was suddenly paralyzed with fright.But he still had a fluke mentality, summoned up his courage, and rushed out when the cave door opened, hoping to escape from death.But the swords of the bandits held him back.The bandit leader stabbed Gesimu down with a sword, and a minion next to him immediately drew his sword, cut Gosimu in half with a sword, and ended his life.

The robbers poured into the cave, making a hasty inspection. They put Gosimu's body in a bag, put back the bags of gold coins that he was going to take away, and took a careful inventory of everything.The robbers didn't care about the gold coins taken by Ali Baba, but they were shocked and confused by the fact that outsiders could break into the cave.Because this is a dangerous land, with high mountains and long roads, and steep terrain, it is difficult for people to climb over many obstacles to climb here, especially if they don't know the code word to open and close the cave door, no one can break into the cave.

Thinking of this, they vented their anger on Gosimu. They dismembered his body in a hurry and hung it on the left and right sides of the door respectively, as a warning, so that those who dare to come here will know end. Having done all this, they came out of the cave, closed the cave door, and straddled away. That night, Gesimu did not come home. His wife had a premonition that something was wrong, so she ran to Ali Baba's house anxiously and asked, "Brother, your brother hasn't come home since he left in the morning. You know the whereabouts, and now I am very worried, I am afraid that something will happen to him, if this is the case, what should I do?"

Ali Baba also had a premonition that something unfortunate had happened, otherwise, Gosimu would not have returned home now.The more he thought about it, the more he felt uneasy, but he stabilized his emotions and calmly comforted his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, probably Gosimu was afraid that outsiders would know his whereabouts, so he took a detour back to the city, so that he hasn't returned home yet." .I think he'll be back later." After hearing this, Gosimu's wife felt a little relieved, and returned home with a glimmer of hope, waiting patiently for her husband's return.

It was midnight and three o'clock, but there was still no one.She finally became restless, and finally burst into tears because of nervousness and terror.She said regretfully to herself: "I revealed Ali Baba's secret to him, which aroused his envy and jealousy, and this brought him the disaster of killing him." Gosimu's wife was so distraught that she was on pins and needles, and when it was daylight she hurried to Ali Baba's house and begged him to go out and look for his brother at once. Ali Baba comforted his sister-in-law, and then drove three donkeys to the cave.When he came near the entrance of the cave, he saw blood stains on the ground at a glance, but his brother and the ten mules were nowhere to be seen. It was obvious that the danger was too bad. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.He came to the entrance of the cave tremblingly and said: "Zhima, open the door!" The cave door opened in response. He hurriedly stepped into the cave, and as soon as he entered the cave door, he saw that Gosimu's body was divided into several pieces, two pieces were hung on the left side, and two pieces were hung on the right side.Ali Baba was terrified, but had no choice but to pack up his brother's body and use a donkey to carry it.Then he packed several bags of gold coins, carefully covered them with sticks, tied them into two packs, and carried them with the other two donkeys.After doing all this, he closed the cave door with a code word, and drove the donkey down the mountain.Along the way, he tried his best to restrain his nervousness, concentrated his energy, and transported the corpse and gold coins home safely. After returning home, he took the two donkeys loaded with gold coins to his home, handed them to his wife, and told her to hide them, but he didn't say a word about Gosimu's murder.Then he led the donkey carrying the corpse to Gosimu's house.Gosimu's maid, Malkina, came to open the door and let Ali Baba drive the donkey into the courtyard. Ali Baba unloaded Gosimu's body from the donkey's back, and then said to the maid: "Markina, hurry up and prepare for the aftermath of your master. Now I will report the bad news to my sister-in-law first, and then I will help you At this time, Gosimu's wife saw Ali Baba through the window and said: "Ali Baba, how is the situation? Is there any news about your brother? Seeing your frowning face, could it be that he has encountered a disaster?" Ali Baba hurriedly told his sister-in-law what happened to Gosimu and how to smuggle his body back. After Ali Baba described the incident in detail, he said to his sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, the incident has already happened, and it is impossible to change everything. This incident is certainly painful, but we should take it as a warning and keep it a secret." Otherwise, our property and life will not be guaranteed.” Gosimu's wife knew that her husband had been murdered, and it was useless to complain now, so she burst into tears and said to Ali Baba: "My husband's fate was predestined in previous lives, so I have to accept my fate now. It's just for your safety. And my future, I promise to keep a strict secret for you, and never let it out." "Allah's punishment is irresistible. Now you can rest in peace. Once the mourning period is over, I will marry you as my concubine and support you for the rest of my life. You will live happily and happily. As for my wife, she is kind-hearted , I will never be jealous of you, you can rest assured about this." "Since you think it's more appropriate to do so, let's do as you want." She couldn't help crying again as she spoke. Ali Baba was very sad because of his brother's death. He left his sister-in-law and went back to his maid, Malkina, to discuss his brother's funeral with her. After doing all this, he led the donkey back home. As soon as Ali Baba left, Malkina immediately went to a pharmacy, pretended to be nonchalant, and chatted with the owner to find out what kind of medicine would be effective for the dying patient. "Who is dying and needs to take this medicine?" the boss asked Malkina back. "My old man Gosimo is very sick and is dying. He can neither speak nor eat for the past few days, so we have no hope for his life or death."
