Chapter 27 Chapter Twenty Six

The house in Blarney was arguably the only safe haven for Pazar's tortured heart. He wrote a long letter to Nefiri, pouring out his love to her again and begging her to express her heart soon. He also felt guilty for harassing her like this, but he just couldn't suppress his enthusiasm.From then on, his life was given to Nefiri. In the first room, Blarney offers flowers to statues of ancestors.Pazar was meditating aside.The green cornflower and the yellow flowers of the avocado tree can keep one's ancestors alive and keep the sages of Osiris' paradise at their side. After the worship, the teacher and the student climbed onto the balcony.Pazar likes this moment the most, the sky gradually turns into night, waiting for the rebirth tomorrow.

"Your youth is like old skin that will never come back. You are very happy and peaceful when you are young. But what you have to do now is to achieve your life. "You know everything about me. "Pazar simply replied to the teacher. "There are things you didn't tell me." "I needn't tell you much. Do you think she'll accept me?" "Nefeli never fakes her feelings, she shows her true feelings." Bursts of anxiety welled up Pazar's throat, making it difficult for him to speak: "I'm probably crazy." "Coveting what belongs to someone else is inherently crazy."

The teacher's painstaking teaching only made Pazar feel more ashamed and painful. "You have taught me to accumulate wisdom with steady and precise justice, not to worry about your own happiness, but to try to let the world move forward in peace, to build temples, to make orchards fruitful for the gods (this is the gods) Inscriptions on the stone pillars of the sages in the temple), I have completely forgotten this teaching. Now I am suffering from love, and I am getting deeper and deeper and cannot extricate myself." "That's fine, keep going to your limit until you can't turn back. Follow God's will and you won't go astray."

"I have not forgotten my duty." "What about the Sphinx?" "Entered a dead end." "No hope at all?" "Unless a fifth retired soldier is found, or Suti hears some news from General Asher." "There seems to be little hope." "Even if I have to wait a few years for new leads, I will not give up. Don't forget that I have evidence of the military's lies: the five veterans have been officially declared dead, but one of them returned to the end Stein became a baker." "The fifth person is not dead." Blarney said earnestly, as if the old soldier was right in front of him, "Don't give up, bad luck will leave one day."

After Blarney finished speaking, the master and apprentice were silent for a long time.The solemn tone of his speech disturbed Pazar, because he knew that the teacher had the ability to foresee the future, and sometimes he could see the truth that was not yet known. "I'm leaving this house soon," Blaney said first, "it's time for me to spend the rest of my life in the temple. My ears will be filled with the silence of the gods of Karnak, and I will speak with the Stone of Eternity.Every day will be more and more peaceful, and after preparing for this important stage of life, I will face the judgment of Osiris. "Pazar was unwilling to accept this fact, and hurriedly said: "I need your teaching. "

The teacher seems to have made up his mind. "What advice can I give you? Tomorrow I will go to Western Bliss on crutches and stay there like everyone else." Pazar still did not give up hope, and continued to find reasons to persuade Blarney. "Should I discover that Egypt is suffering from a terrible disease, and I have the opportunity to stand up against it, your moral authority will be indispensable to me, and you will also play a decisive key role. So please wait a little longer." "Anyway. After I go to the temple, the house will be yours." Xie Qi lit a fire with date stones and charcoal, put the horned crucible on the fire, and then fueled the fire with bellows.He poured molten metal into various special models, hoping to develop a new method of melting metal.He has a super memory, so the process and results are not recorded to avoid leaking secrets.The two assistants are very strong and have amazing physical strength. They can blow for hours with long blowpipes to maintain a strong fire.

Indestructible weapons are almost finished.Pharaoh's sergeants wore invincible swords and spears. One by one, he will chop off the helmets of the Asian enemies and pierce their Jiamu. While he was contemplating, there were suddenly screams of fighting outside the door.Schech opened the door of the laboratory to find out, but ran into two guards, who were grabbing a man with spontaneity and red hands, who was panting, with tears in his eyes and a torn loincloth. up. "He broke into the metal storage room," a guard explained. "When we tried to question him, he ran away."

Setch recognized Kadash the dentist immediately, but did not look surprised at all. "Let go of me, you barbarians!" Kadashi scolded angrily. "How dare you speak loudly, you thief!" The chief guard scolded him back. What kind of crazy idea flashed through Kadashi's mind?For a long time, he has dreamed of getting the god iron to make his surgical tools and make himself an unrivaled dentist.For his personal benefit, he lost his mind and threw all the conspiracy plans out of the sky. "I have already sent someone to the elder of the gate hall, we need a judge right now," said the chief guard.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Xie Qi had no choice but to follow the chief guard's wishes. After being woken up in the middle of the night by the clerk of the elders of Mendian, he thought that the matter was not serious enough to wake up the elders, especially since the elders paid special attention to sleep.So he looked at the list of judges and singled out the recently appointed Judge Pazar.Since he is the lowest level, he should be trained. Pazar did not sleep.He dreamed of Nefiri, imagining her there beside him, comforting and encouraging him gently. He told about the investigation process, while she described all kinds of patients. They shared the burden of each other's work and enjoyed a simple happiness. Every day when the sun rises, it is a new day full of hope.

Suddenly, the north wind yelled, and the warrior began to bark.Pazar hurriedly got up and opened the window.After watching the armed soldiers show the dispatch order issued by the elder clerk of the gate hall, Pazar put on his short cloak and followed the soldiers to the camp. At the foot of the stairs leading to the basement stood two guards, their spears crossed.When they saw the judge, they moved their spears to make way, and Sheki stood at the door of the laboratory waiting to greet the judge.Seeing Pazar, he was a little surprised: "I thought it would be the elder of the gate hall."

"Sorry to disappoint you, I was sent by order of superiors. What happened?" "Attempted theft." "Are there any suspects?" "The criminal has been arrested." "Then just state the facts, prosecute the offender and sentence him immediately." Shech seemed a little uneasy. "I want to ask in person, what about others?" Seeing that Xie Qi did not respond, Pazar asked proactively. "In the aisle to your left." The criminal, who had been sitting on an iron slab and guarded by an armed soldier, jumped up at the sight of Pazar. "Kadashi! What are you doing here?" Pazar was really taken aback. "I was walking near the camp, but they attacked me for no reason and brought me to this place by force." "He's lying." The guard protested, "This person entered the storage warehouse without authorization, so we stopped him. " "Nonsense! I want to sue you for harm." Kadashi loudly denied. "What's in the storage?" Pazar asked. "Some metals, mostly copper." Pazar understood what was going on, and asked the dentist, "Are you short of raw materials for making equipment?" Kadashi still firmly denied: "This is all a misunderstanding, I am innocent." At this time, Seki walked up to Pazar and whispered a few words in his ear. Pazar replied, "As you wish." The two of them entered the laboratory, and there was no one around. Xie Qicai asked: "The research I conduct here must be absolutely confidential, so when you are in court, can you be prohibited from listening?" "Of course not." Pazar immediately refused. "In this particular case..." "Don't hold on any longer." "Kadashi is a well-known and wealthy dentist, and his behavior is beyond comprehension." "What kind of research are you doing?" "Weapons and equipment, do you understand?" Xie Qi said proudly. "There are no specific laws and regulations for your research work. If Kadashi is accused of stealing, he must defend himself in accordance with normal procedures, and you have to appear in court." Pazar's attitude was as usual, business-like. "So I must answer the question?" "certainly." Xie Qi twirled his beard and said, "In that case, I'd better not tell him." "It is your right." "I am thinking of Egypt, whether it is in court or elsewhere, if the news leaks out, the consequences will be disastrous. Kadashi will leave it to you.As far as I'm concerned, nothing happened, and as for you, Judge Pazar, don't forget your duty of secrecy. "Xieqi's ending tone was slightly threatening. "You won't be prosecuted," Pazar told Kadash as he walked out of the camp with the dentist. "But I want to sue them." Kadashi looked aggrieved. Knowing that he was in a fit of anger, Pazar calmly analyzed it to him: "The testimony of the witnesses is against you, you appeared in this place at an unusual time, and you are suspected of theft... From these points, you The odds are really slim.” Kadashi coughed a few times, spit out the phlegm with a snap and said, "You're right, let's forget it." "I can't count." "What did you say?" Kadashi felt puzzled instead. "I can get up in the middle of the night and handle any case, but you can't play me like a fool. You have to explain it to me or I'll sue you for insulting the judge. "The dentist's words began to slur: "Fine pure copper!I've been dreaming about it for years. " "How do you know this storage location?" "The non-commissioned officer who supervises the camp is my patient... he likes to talk big, so I want to try my luck. Before, the defense of the military camp was not so tight." "So you're going to steal it?" "No, it's buying!" Kadashi retorted, "I plan to exchange a few fat cows for metal, because these soldiers are very greedy. After the transaction is completed, my equipment can be good, light and accurate. But This mustache has no ambiguity at all... No matter how you say it, it doesn't make sense." "Not all Egyptian officials are corrupt." "Corruption? Are you exaggerating! Is it illegal to conduct transactions? Your view of people is too pessimistic!" Kadashi muttered, and his figure moved further and further away. Pazar wandered in the dark.He didn't fully believe what Kadashi said.Metal storage, barracks... the army again!However, this incident seems to have nothing to do with the disappearance of those retired soldiers. It is just the struggle of a declining dentist who is unwilling to admit that his skills have deteriorated. Tonight is a full moon.Legend has it that a rabbit with a knife lived in the moon. It was a warlike elf, and it would always chop off the heads of evil spirits before it was willing.Pazar was more than happy to ask it to be his clerk.The sun at night slowly grows bigger and smaller, gets brighter and then gets darker.This little white boat floating in the air will send his thoughts to Nefiri in the distance. Nile water has always been famous for helping digestion, and the light river water can quickly discharge toxins from the body.Some doctors believed that the curative effect of the river water was due to the influence of the herbs that grew on the banks of the river.Whenever the water rises, the river is full of plant particles and mineral salts. The Egyptians always store this precious river water in tens of thousands of water tanks to prevent the river water from deteriorating. However, Nefiri still checked the water stored last year just in case. If the water in the container was found to be cloudy, she would throw a sweet almond into the water. After a day, the water would become clear and sweet.Several cans of water have been placed for three years, but the water quality has not changed at all. After checking, she began to pay attention to every move of the laundryman.In palaces this office was always assigned to trustworthy persons, for cleanliness of clothing was always highly valued; and the same was true in every community, great or small.After washing and wringing out the clothes, the laundryman beats the clothes with a wooden stick, then lifts them up high and shakes them vigorously, and finally puts the clothes on the clothesline between two wooden stakes to dry. After watching for a while, Nefiri couldn't help asking, "Are you sick?" "Why do you ask?" "Because of your lack of energy, your clothes have been gray these days." "What can I do? This job is not easy, and women's dirty laundry is really annoying." The laundryman complained gruffly. "Water alone is not enough, try this sanitizer and fragrance." The grumpy laundryman took the two bottles from the doctor.A smile on Nefiri's face dispelled her guard. To avoid pest infestation, Nefeli asked the villagers to sprinkle some wood ash in the barn, which is an effective and cheap insecticide. A few weeks before the flood, you can start stockpiling grain. As she toured the last barn, Carney sent her parsley, cinnamon, sage, sage, and mint.Dried or ground into powder, these herbs can be used as medicines prescribed by Nefiri.These medicines did relieve the old man's pain, and with the company of his relatives, his condition improved a lot. Although Nefili has always kept a low profile, her superb medical skills have still attracted attention, and she has been passed on from time to time. Spread the word, and soon many farmers in Hexi came to her for medical treatment.She never refuses anyone who comes, and she is never sloppy when she sees a doctor. After a hard day's work, she spends her evenings preparing pills, ointments, and plasters with two widows who have been scrupulously careful about her ringworms.After less than a few hours of sleep, there was a long queue of patients waiting to see a doctor at dawn. She never thought that her career as a doctor would be like this, but she loves to treat people, and she is very relieved every time she sees a relieved and happy smile on the worried faces.Nebamun had actually done her a great favor by forcing her to have contact with these lowly people.Here, the clever rhetoric in vogue of high-society doctors is of no use, and these workers, fishermen, and housewives want only the quickest cure at the lowest cost. She had sent for "Little Ruffian" to be brought from Memphis, and the little green monkey would play tricks to amuse her whenever she was tired. Seeing Little Rascal, she would think of the first time she met Pazar, such a straightforward, stubborn, but also so caring and unforgettable person.What woman could live with a career-minded judge?A dozen or so porters put the picked baskets at the door of Nefeli's new laboratory, and the little rascal jumped on the baskets.The baskets contained willow bark, natural water soda, white oil, frankincense, honey, turpentine, and many, many different kinds of animal fats. "For me?" Nefiri asked in surprise. "Are you Dr. Nefiri?" one of the pickets asked. "yes." "Then it's for you." "How much are these things..." Nefiri hesitated. "It's been paid." "Who paid for it?" "We are only responsible for delivering the goods, and we don't know anything else. Please sign a receipt." Surprised and delighted, Nefiri wrote her name on the board without asking any further questions. In this way, she can formulate complex prescriptions and treat critically ill patients alone. In the evening, Shabab appeared at the door of her residence, but she was not surprised, she just said: "I have been waiting for you to come." "You expected me to come?" "The antirheumatic ointment will be prepared soon, and now there are no ingredients missing." Shabab wore a fragrant rush hair ornament on her head, and a necklace made of carnelian lotus flowers around her neck, which had swept away the poverty of the previous few days.The linen robe she was wearing was completely transparent from the waist down, revealing her slender legs. "I want you to heal, and only you. The other doctors are all phony quacks." Her compliments made Nefiri a little awkward. "Isn't that an exaggeration?" "I'm telling the truth. If you make an offer, I will never counter the offer." Shabab said boldly. "The gift you gave is too expensive. The expensive medicinal materials in my hand are enough for me to heal hundreds of patients." "But it has to start with me." Nefiri was very curious about her being so generous: "Are you rich?" "Hey! I'm back to my old business again." Shabab admitted, "Thebes is not as big as Memphis, and the folk customs are relatively simple and conservative, but the rich people here also like to go to the beer store to find beautiful people. Girls. I hired a couple of young girls, rented a nice house downtown, paid the local police chief, set up shop, and made a name for myself in no time. What you're seeing right now is the best evidence." "You are so generous." "You're wrong. I just want the best treatment possible." "Will you follow my advice?" "I don't dare to violate it at all. I just run the hotel, and I don't go to sea myself." "There should be quite a few customers looking for you, right?" "Occasionally I will satisfy a man's desire, but it is purely for pleasure and not asking for reward. It is not so easy to touch me now." Hearing her blunt words, Nefiri blushed.Saba Bouton felt lost. "Doctor! I didn't offend you, did I?" "No, of course not." Nefiri replied hastily. Shababu's straight-hearted temperament just can't be changed, and Nefiri was so anxious that she didn't even know where to start her defense: "Ms. Shababu, I..." "You call me lady? Are you kidding me!" Nefiri ignored her words. "Okay, close the door and take off your clothes. You'll have to come every day to apply the medicine until you're cured." Shabab lay down on the massage stone, and said softly, "You too, doctor, you should be very lucky too."
