Chapter 5 5

After the bandit leader made up his mind, he fell back to sleep. The next day, he got up at dawn, disguised himself as before, and went to the city to stay in an inn.He murmured to himself: "There is no doubt that the case of killing so many people at once will definitely cause a sensation in the whole city, and Ali Baba will inevitably be arrested and tried. His residence must also be destroyed and his property must be confiscated." Ask the concierge of the inn for news: "Has anything strange happened in the city recently?" The concierge told the bandit leader everything he had seen and heard.

The bandit leader was surprised and disappointed when he heard that nothing the concierge talked about was related to him. Only then did he understand that Ali Baba was a smart and smart man. He not only took away the money in the cave, but also killed so many people. , while he himself was safe and sound. From this, the bandit leader thought of his own safety and believed that he must make full use of his wisdom and be vigilant so as not to fall into the hands of the enemy and be destroyed.So he rented a shop in the market, brought good goods from the cave, set them up, stayed in the shop from then on, changed his name to Galwangi Hassan, and pretended to start a business.

Coincidentally, the opposite of the bandit leader's shop is the shop of the late Gosimu, which is now continued by his son, Ali Baba's nephew.The bandit leader moved around under the name of Galwanji Hassan, and soon became acquainted with the bosses of various nearby businesses.He was generous and courteous in his dealings with others, especially towards Gosimu's son. He often made friends with this handsome, well-dressed young man and often chatted with him, often sitting for hours at a time. One day, Ali Baba went to visit his nephew in the shop. This was seen by the bandit leader who was opposite the shop. The bandit leader recognized Ali Baba when he saw him.So, the bandit leader asked the young man about Ali Baba: "Tell me, who was the guest who came to your shop earlier?"

"He is my uncle." After that, the bandit leader became more enthusiastic about Ali Baba's nephew and gave him many benefits. He was amiable on the surface, but secretly carried out his schemes and schemes. Some days later, Ali Baba's nephew wanted to invite Galawangi Hassan to have a meal, but he felt that his house was small and it was inconvenient to receive guests, especially with Galawangi Hassan. Compared with Hassan's elegant pomp, it seems shabby.So he went to ask his uncle Alibaba. Ali Baba said to his nephew: "Your idea is right, you should invite that friend to be a guest. Tomorrow is a Friday off day, and all businesses are closed for rest. You go to Yogelwangi Hassan to walk around and breathe. Some fresh air. When you come back, you don't have to tell Galwangi Hassan, you can bring him to me by the way. I will tell Malkina to prepare a big feast for you, don't worry, everything I'll handle it."

The next day, Ali Baba’s nephew followed his uncle’s instructions and invited Galwangi Hassan to play in the park. When returning home, he led Galwangi Hassan into the alley where his uncle’s residence was located. , came all the way to the door.As he knocked on the door, he said to Galwangi Hassan: "My friend, let me tell you this: this is my other house. The association between you and me and the generosity you have shown in your dealings with others, I Uncle has heard about it, so he is very happy to meet you." The bandit leader was secretly happy when he heard this, because with this opportunity, his wish for revenge could be realized very quickly.But he pretended to be polite on the surface, and repeatedly declined.At this time, the servant had already opened the door, and Ali Baba's nephew took Galwangi Hassan's hand and they entered the house together.The host, Ali Baba, greeted and greeted Galwangi Hassan respectfully and politely:

"Welcome! Welcome! I can't thank you enough for taking care of my nephew. I know you care and love him like a father." "Your nephew is a good man, and his behavior and speech left a deep impression on me. I like him very much. Although he is young, he is very gifted, very smart, and has a bright future." said Galwangi Hassan Such a few compliments and entertainment. In this way, the host and guest chatted with each other in a question-and-answer manner, appearing polite and cordial, and the host and guest were very congenial.After a while, Galwangi Hassan said, "Master! It is time to bid you farewell. If Allah wishes, I will visit you again sometime later."

Ali Baba got up to ask him to stay and said, "My friend, where are you going? I entertained you intentionally and left you to eat. Go back after eating. Even if our food is not as delicious as yours at home, we have to ask You accept my invitation, let's be lively." "Master! I am grateful for your kindness. But I do have special reasons and I have to ask for your forgiveness." "Guest! You seem to be preoccupied and irritable. Why?" "That's right. Recently, I took medicine to treat my illness. The doctor told me not to eat any dishes with salt."

"Oh, that's it, that's all right, I can get your favor. Now the cook is preparing to cook, and I'll tell her to cook unsalted dishes for you. Please wait, I'll be back in a while. " Ali Baba said and went to the kitchen and told Malkina not to add salt to the dishes. Markina was preparing meals when she suddenly heard this order, she was very surprised and asked, "Who is this guest who wants to eat without salt?" "Why are you asking him? Just do as I tell you." "Okay, everything will be done according to your wishes." Markina was curious about the person who made this request, and wanted to take a look at him.

After all the dishes were prepared, Malkina assisted Abdullah the servant to set up tables and chairs so that meals could be served for the guests, so he had the opportunity to see Galwangi Hassan.When she saw him, she immediately recognized him for what he really was, even though he was dressed like a foreign merchant.When Malkina looked carefully, she found a dagger hidden under his burqa, "That's why!" She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "That's why this villain wants to eat salt-free dishes. I am looking for an opportunity to murder my master, because the master is his great enemy. I must act decisively, pre-emptively strike, and find an opportunity to get rid of him before he commits a crime."

Markina took out a white tablecloth and spread it on the table, served the meal, and while the host was eating and drinking with the guests, she returned from the living room to the kitchen and carefully considered how to deal with the bandit leader. Ali Baba and Galwangi Hassan enjoyed themselves, eating and drinking slowly, while Malkina and Abdullah were busy clearing away the cups and plates and serving out refreshments for the guests.Malkina also put fresh and dried fruits on a plate and asked Abdullah to bring them to the hall on a tray. She took a small three-legged coffee table and placed it next to the host and guests, and placed three wine glasses and a bottle of wine. On the tea table, for the host and the guests to drink by themselves.After everything was settled, Malkina and Abdullah withdrew, as if to eat.

At this time, the bandit leader felt that the opportunity had come, and immediately became happy, thinking to himself: "This is a good opportunity for revenge. I just need to stab this dagger hard, and this guy's life can be ended. The garden slipped away. His nephew would not dare to stop me. Even if he had the courage to fight me, I only need to move a finger or a toe to kill him. But wait a while, wait for the two servant girls When the servant returns to his room to rest after eating, it’s not too late to start.” Malkina held her breath and watched the bandit leader's actions secretly. While guessing his intentions, she thought, "This scoundrel must not be given a chance to commit murder. I not only want to thwart his plot, but also take the opportunity to end his life." ’” The faithful Marchina undressed and put on a costume like a ball gown, with a bright turban wrapped around her head, an expensive veil over her face, and a brocade apron around her waist, under which hung a Holding a dagger inlaid with gold, silver and precious stones on the handle.After dressing up, she told Abdullah: "Bring on the tambourine, let's go to the living room together and perform for the esteemed master and guests." Abdullah obeyed Malkina's arrangement, and as expected, he brought a tambourine and followed her to the living room.Abdullah beat the tambourine and Malkina danced.The two servants performed for a while, then stopped to rest, preparing to concentrate and continue the performance.Alibaba was very interested, and let the two of them do whatever they wanted, and ordered: "Now you can sing and dance as you like. It's better to perform some more exciting programs to make the guests happy." "Oh, my host! I am very happy to receive such hospitality from you." Ghallewangi Hassan expressed his heartfelt thanks. Encouraged by the host and appreciated by the guests, the servant and servant became more and more enthusiastic.Abdullah beat the tambourine, and Malkina showed her skills. Her light steps and graceful dancing posture brought joy to the host and guests.Just when they were fascinated, Malkina suddenly pulled out the dagger, held it in her hand, and spun it from side to side, making a graceful gesture.At this time, she pressed the sharp dagger tightly to her chest, paused for a moment, took Abdullah's tambourine with her right hand, and continued to spin it, begging for rewards from the people present as usual on festive occasions.She first stopped in front of her master Ali Baba, who threw a gold coin into the tambourine, and his nephew also threw a gold coin into the tambourine.When Galwangi Hassan saw Malkina approaching, he took out his wallet and prepared to give a reward. At this moment, Malkina mustered up his courage and pointed the dagger at Galvanji Hassan's heart in an instant. Thrusting it in, it killed him immediately. Ali Baba was taken aback and shouted, "What are you doing? You have ruined my life!" "No," Malkina said confidently, "my lord! I stabbed this guy to save your life. If you don't believe me, please take off his coat, and you will find out his evil intentions." .” Ali Baba hurriedly stepped forward to have a look, and found that he was wearing a sharp dagger next to his body. He was stunned and speechless for a moment. "This wretched fellow is your sworn enemy," said Malkina. "Look carefully, he is the so-called oil dealer, the leader of the band of robbers. He says he doesn't eat salt, which means he The evil heart is not dead, and he intends to murder you. When you said that he does not eat salty dishes, I became suspicious. And when I saw him for the first time, I knew that he had bad intentions and wanted to harm you. Now the fact Proved that my guess was correct." Ali Baba was very surprised, thanked Markina very much, and rewarded her heavily, saying: "You have saved my life from the bandit leader twice, and I should repay you." So he pointed to Markina's neck and said : "Now I restore your freedom, and you become a free citizen from now on. In order to express my gratitude to you, I would like to preside over your marriage and marry you to my nephew, making you a loving couple."
