Later, Geximu was lucky enough to marry the daughter of a wealthy businessman. He inherited his father-in-law's estate and started a business. Due to the booming business and rapid development, Geximu soon became a well-known wealthy businessman.
Alibaba married the daughter of a poor family, and the couple lived a poor life. There are only three donkeys except a shabby house. Alibaba lives by selling firewood. He drives donkeys to the jungle to cut firewood every day, and then carries them to the market to sell them for a living.
One day, Alibaba drove three donkeys up the mountain to cut firewood. He collected the cut dead trees and dry wood, tied them into packages and let the donkey carry them. When chopping wood and preparing to go down the mountain, a cloud of smoke suddenly appeared in the distance, flying straight up and rolling towards him, getting closer and closer. On closer inspection, it was a cavalry team, which was rushing in this direction.
Alibaba is afraid, because if he meets a gang of gangsters, the donkey will be taken away and his life will be in danger. He was full of fear and wanted to escape, but it was impossible to escape from the forest because the gang was getting closer and closer. He had to drive the donkey with firewood to the jungle path and climb a big tree to hide.
The big tree grows next to a huge and dangerous stone. He hid his body in the thick branches and leaves, from which he could see everything below clearly, but the people below could not see him.
By this time, the gang had run to the tree, stopped and stood in front of the big stone. They have forty * * *, and everyone is strong and agile. Alibaba looked at it carefully. It seems that this is a group of robbers who robbed the road. Obviously, they just robbed a caravan full of goods and came here to share the stolen goods, or they planned to hide the stolen goods.
Alibaba thought like this in his heart, determined to find out.
The gangster tied the horse to the tree and took down the heavy saddle bag, which obviously contained gold, silver and jewels.
At this time, a leader-like man, carrying a heavy saddle bag, came all the way from the jungle to the big stone and murmured, "Sesame, open the door!" " "With the cry of the leader, a wide road suddenly appeared in front of the big stone, so the robbers filed in. The leader walks last.
As soon as the leader entered the cave, the gate closed automatically.
Because there were robbers in the cave, Alibaba hid in the tree and dared not come down. He was afraid that they would suddenly come out of the hole, fall into their hands and be killed. Finally, he decided to steal a horse and drive his donkey back to the city. Just as he was about to get off the tree, the door of the cave suddenly opened and the bandit leader came out of the cave first. He stood in front of the door and counted his people. When he saw that people had come out, he began to say a spell and said:
"Sesame, close the door!"
With his shouts, the door of the cave closed automatically.
After the leader checked, no problems were found, so the men went to their horses, put the empty saddles on the saddle, and then jumped on the horses one by one, followed the leader and roared off.
Alibaba stayed in the tree and watched them until they disappeared without a trace, then came down from the tree. At first, he was afraid to come down from the tree because he was afraid that some robbers would suddenly come back.
At this time, he said to himself, "I want to test the effect of this spell and see if I can open the door of this cave, too." So he shouted, "Sesame, open the door!" "His shouts just fell, David immediately opened.
He walked in carefully and looked up. It was a big hole with a dome, and the light from the vent at the top of the hole was like lighting a lamp. At first, he thought that since it was a den of thieves, there was nothing but darkness. But the fact is beyond his expectation. The cave is full of property, which makes people stunned. Piles of silk, brocade, embroidery, piles of colorful carpets, and countless gold and silver coins, some scattered on the ground and some packed in purses. Suddenly seeing so much gold and silver wealth, Alibaba was convinced that this must be a treasure hole accumulated by robbers from generation to generation.
After Alibaba entered the cave, the cave door automatically closed again.
He has nothing to worry about, because he has mastered the starting method of this door and is not afraid of not getting out of the hole. He is not interested in the treasures in the cave. He is in urgent need of money. So, considering the carrying capacity of the donkey, he decided to get only a few bags of gold coins, tie them in firewood and throw them on the donkey and carry them away. So people can't see the purse, or they will think of him as a woodcutter who cuts wood for a living.
After thinking about all this, Alibaba said loudly, "Sesame, open the door!" " "
With the sound, the door of the cave opened. Alibaba took the collected gold coins out of the cave and immediately said, "Sesame, close the door!" " "
The door of the cave is closed.
Alibaba quickly returned to the city with money and a donkey. When he got home, he quickly unloaded his bag, untied the bundle of firewood, moved the bag containing gold coins into the room and put it in front of his wife. When his wife saw that the bag was full of gold coins, she thought that Alibaba was desperately robbing people, so she scolded him and blamed him for forgetting profits and doing bad things.
"I am a robber? You should know my character. I never do bad things. " Alibaba pleaded a few words, then told his wife what happened in the mountains and the origin of these gold coins, and then poured them out and piled them in front of her.
Alibaba's wife was very surprised after hearing this. The glittering gold coins dazzled her. She sat down and was busy counting gold coins. Alibaba said, "Look at you! If you keep counting like this, when will you finish counting? It would be terrible if someone broke in and saw this. Ok, let's bury these gold coins first. "
"Well, start. But I still have to measure how many gold coins there are, and I know quite well. "
"This is a happy thing, but you must be careful not to tell anyone, or you will get into trouble."
Ali's wife hurried to Geximu's house to borrow a measuring instrument. When Geximu was not at home, she said to his wife, "Sister-in-law, can you lend me your measuring instrument?"
"Sure, but how much do you want to borrow?"
"Just lend me Xiao Sheng."
"Wait a minute, I'll get it for you." Geximu's wife agreed.
Geximu's wife is a very curious person. She wants to know what Alibaba's wife borrowed, so she brushed a little beeswax on the bottom of the liter, because she believed that no matter what she measured, she would always stick a little on the beeswax. She wants to satisfy her curiosity in this way.
Alibaba's wife didn't understand this skill, so she hurried home with a liter and immediately began to use liters of gold coins.
Alibaba just dug the hole, and when his wife finished measuring the gold coins, his hole was dug. Together, they moved the gold coins into the hole, carefully covered them with soil and buried them.
There was a gold coin stuck to the beeswax rising at the bottom, but they didn't notice it at all. So, when the kind woman returned Sheng to her sister-in-law, her wife immediately found that Sheng was stuck by a gold coin, which made her both envious and jealous. She said to herself:
"ouch! It turns out that they borrowed my liter to measure gold coins. "
She thought to herself, how can Alibaba, a poor man, measure gold coins in liters?
There must be some secret in this.
Geximu's wife thought and thought, but she still couldn't figure it out. Until dusk, when Geximu came back from swimming, she immediately said to him eagerly, "You are a man! You always thought you were a wealthy businessman and the richest man. Now open your eyes and have a look. On the surface, your brother Ali is poor, but secretly he is as rich as a prince. I dare say that his wealth is much more than yours. He has saved so many gold coins that it needs to be measured. And your gold coin, just look at it and know its number. "
"Where did you hear that?" Geximu track to ask.
Geximu's wife immediately told him the story that Alibaba's wife came to borrow money and the fact that she found a gold coin in the rose. Then she showed him the gold coin with the name and year number of the ancient emperor on it.
When Geximu knew this, he was surprised, jealous and suspicious at the same time. That night, because the idea of greed haunted him all the time, he tossed and turned all night, got up at dawn the next day and went to Alibaba and said:
"Brothers! You pretend to be pathetic, but in fact, you are not smart. I know that you have saved countless gold coins, and the number has reached the point where you need a bucket to count them. "
"Can you make it clear? I don't know what you are talking about. "
"You don't play dumb! You know exactly what I'm talking about. " Geximu showed him the gold coins angrily. "You have thousands of such gold coins. This is just one my wife found when you measured gold coins. "
Ali suddenly realized that this matter had been known by the GMX couple and thought: This matter can no longer be kept secret. In this case, just say it all. Although he knew it would bring misfortune and disaster, under such circumstances, he really had no choice but to be forced to tell his brother without reservation that he had found the robber looking for treasure in the cave.
After hearing this, GMX said with an expression, "You must tell me everything you saw, especially the exact address of the cave where the gold coins were stored, and the two spells that opened and closed the cave door. Now I want to warn you that if you refuse to tell me all this, I will report you to the government, and they will confiscate your money and put you in prison. Finally, you will bring money with you. "
Under the threat of his brother, Alibaba had to tell the location of the cave and the secret code to open and close the cave door. Geximu listened carefully, keeping all the details in mind.
Early the next morning, Mother Gosi arrived in the mountains with ten mules he rented. According to the story of Alibaba, he first found the big tree where Alibaba was hiding and successfully found the mysterious hole. The scene in front of us is similar to what Bohr said. Believing that he had reached his destination, he shouted, "Sesame, open the door!" "
