Chapter 4 Chapter Four

Pazar jumped out of the car as soon as he saw the dry river bed winding among the rocks to the wind-eroded hills.He landed on the sand without a sound, and the car continued on in the dust and heat.The driver was half asleep and let the driver lead the way. No one would leave the camp to pursue the fugitive, because under the heat and thirst, the fugitive had no chance of survival.With any luck, there might be patrols picking up the wreckage for him.Barefoot and wearing a tattered loincloth, Pazar walked as slowly as possible to save his strength.You can see desert snakes everywhere, and if you are accidentally bitten, you will die.

Pazar imagined that he was walking with Nefiri in a green and lush countryside, listening to the singing of birds and flowing with canals, so that the real scenery was not so difficult and dangerous, and his steps became smoother. Get lighter.He walked along the dry riverbed to the foot of a steep hill, where there were two palm trees standing in the bare space, the scene was a little out of harmony. Pazar knelt down and started digging with his hands.The old beekeeper really didn't lie to him, and finally dug the water an hour later.After quenching his thirst first, he took off the loincloth, washed it with water, and then rubbed his body. He did not forget to fill the sheepskin bag with precious water.

At night, he headed east.There was a hissing sound everywhere, and as soon as it got dark, the snake came out of its hole.As long as you step on one, you can't escape the fate of tragic death.Only a doctor as skilled as Nefiri can cure it.Pazar temporarily forgot about the danger, and moved forward under the protection of the moonlight.The night is as cool as water.When it was almost dawn, he drank some water, dug a sandpit, got into it, and fell asleep like a baby in the womb. When he woke up, the sun was already setting.Enduring the pain in his muscles and the heat in his head, he continued to walk towards the valley, but the valley was so far away, so unreachable.

The water is gone, and now I can only hope to find the well surrounded by stones sooner.The endless sandy land, occasionally flat, occasionally undulating, he walked in it, his pace was already faltering.His lips were dry, his tongue was swollen, and he had no strength left.What else could one wish for besides praying for God's blessing now? * * * Nabamun got off the sedan chair at the edge of the big palm grove and sent the bearer back.He had already begun to feel the magical night that Nefiri was about to be his.It's best if things go their way, but playing tricks doesn't matter, anyway, he got what he wanted, just like always.

The caretakers of the palm tree forest leaned against the big tree trunk, playing flute, drinking water and chatting.Nebamon settled into a wide forest path, then turned left and walked on to Gu.There was no one else around, it was very quiet, and Nefiri seemed to be born from the afterglow of the setting sun, and the whole linen dress was dyed red. Nefiri surrendered.She had been so proud, had challenged him, and was going to obey him like a slave.When he conquers her, she will definitely forget everything in the past and follow him forever.She would also have to admit that only Nebamun could give her the life of her dreams.She is too fond of medicine to continue playing lesser roles.Isn't marrying the Chief Physician the best destination for her?

She didn't move.Nebamun then leaned towards her. "Will I see Pazar again?" she asked. "I promise you that." "Let him go, Nebamon." "I do have this plan, as long as you are willing to follow me." "Why are you so cruel? Please, be kind." "Are you kidding me?" Nebamun said angrily. "I just want to wake up your conscience." "Nefeli, you must marry me, because I have already decided." "Let me go." He didn't listen to her pleading, but still leaned forward again, and didn't stop until he was about one meter away from his prey. "I like looking at you, but I want other pleasures."

"Does it also include destroying me?" "I'm going to save you from a false love and a life of mediocrity." "I beg you again, please let me go." "You are mine, Nefiri." Nebamun held out his hand to her. Just as he was about to touch her, Nabamun was suddenly pulled back.fell to the ground.When he was frightened, he caught a glimpse of what was attacking him—a huge baboon.It opened its bloody mouth wide, and white foam was still spitting out at the corner of its mouth.The baboon tightly grasped Nebamun's neck with its furry and powerful right paw, while its left paw grabbed at his lifeline and pulled it hard.Nebamun cried out in pain.

At this time, Kaim stepped on the chief physician's forehead.The baboon followed suit, but did not let go. "If you don't help us, my baboon will marry you. I'll act like I didn't see anything, and he won't feel any guilt," Cam said menacingly. "What do you want?" Nebamun said through gritted teeth. "I want you to produce evidence to prove Pazar's innocence." "No, I..." The baboon let out a low growl, and then shook it hard again. Nebamon hurriedly shouted: "I promise, I promise!" "Say it." Nebamon gasped: "When I checked Blarney's body, I found that he had been dead for a long time, maybe even a whole day. Judging from the condition of the eyes and skin, the degree of tightness of the mouth, and wounds, etc. , should not be wrong. I recorded these findings on a papyrus. Pazar is not an active criminal, he is just a witness. He will not be sentenced to a heavy sentence."

"Why are you hiding the truth?" "This opportunity is so rare...I finally have the chance to get Nefiri." "Where is Pazar?" "I... I don't know." "Of course you do." The baboon roared again.Nebamun was terrified, and could only tell the truth: "I paid the chief of police not to kill Pazar. He had to live for my blackmail plan to succeed. Pazar was held in a secret place, but I don't know where." "Do you know who the real murderer is?" "I don't know, I can swear on that." Cam believed he was telling the truth.As long as the baboons are present during the interrogation process, the prisoner dare not hide anything.

Nefeli prayed silently and thanked Blarney for his spirit in heaven, who indeed blessed his student. * * * A few figs and a few slices of cheese were the presbyter's supper.Due to lack of sleep, he has no appetite at all.A while ago, I dismissed all the servants because I couldn't stand other people dangling around.What can he do for himself?He just wants to continue to maintain the peace and order in Egypt.However, his conscience was really disturbed.Never in his life as a judge had he deviated from the law so much. Feeling sick to his stomach, he pushed the wooden bowl away. There was the sound of dying from outside.Could it be the ghost in the mage's mouth, coming back to torture a despicable person like him?

The elder went out, but he saw Cam standing at the door holding the Chief Physician's ear, and there was a baboon beside him. "Nebmun came to confess to you." The elder didn't like the Nubian policeman.He understands Cam's violent past, and regrets that Cam joined the security force. "Nebamon did not come voluntarily, and his testimony is completely invalid." "He didn't come to testify, but to confess." The Chief Physician tried to break free, but Fu Fu immediately bit his calf, but luckily the bite was not deep. "Be careful." Cam suggested, "If you provoke it, even I can't control it." "Let's go!" The elder angrily issued an order to chase away the guest. Cam pushed Dr. Cher towards the elder and shouted, "Come on, Nebamon. Baboons are very impatient." "In Pazar's case, I have a key clue." The Chief Physician said hoarsely. "Not clues," Cam corrected, "but proof of his innocence." The elder's face was smug: "Are you abetting him?" "The Chief Physician is a highly respected person." Nebamun pulled a stamped scroll from under his robes. "Here is my report on the examination of Blarney's body. Well... it was a misjudgment to kill at the scene. I forgot... to give you the report." The elder took the document slowly, holding the paper scroll in his hand, it was as hot as coals. "We made a mistake." The gate elder lamented, "but it's too late for Pazar." "Perhaps it's not too late," retorted Cam. "You forgot he was dead." The Nubian laughed, "Probably another misjudgment. You are too easy to be fooled." Cam signaled the baboon to let go of the chief physician with his eyes. "Am... am I free?" "get out." Nebamon limped away.The flick left distinct tooth marks on his calf, and his eyes shone brightly in the night. "Cam, if you are willing to forget about these unfortunate events, I can give you a stable job." The elder of the gate hall tried to persuade him. "Don't meddle anymore, Elder Gate Hall, or I will let the killer go. The truth will be revealed soon, the truth of everything."
