The scene suddenly became dramatic. A group of strong indigenous men who had been shouting for death and beating just now rushed over with tears in their eyes. They hugged Ma Hui and the three of them, pressed them on the carpet and beat them desperately.
The three of them almost died from the pressure. They really couldn't stand this way of showing enthusiasm. At this moment, the young people who were attacking at the door were also dumbfounded. Two adults rushed to the door and roared, and the group of children who threw stones dispersed in a hurry.
Ma Ma, who struggled to get out, asked back, "There is no time to waste. Let me ask, what is going on? Why did the children attack us? Why do they say we brought the plague?"
The imam said ashamedly, "I don't know the specific situation, but I would like to ask my relatives far away why you came to us."
Ma Hui knew that the imam must be hiding something, but now was not the time to dwell on it. He had a mission. Five and a half hours had been wasted since landing, and there was not much time left.
"I'm here for this plague! We are not the ones who brought the plague. On the contrary, we have the solution to this plague!" Ma Hui said loudly.
When the translator stopped and translated Ma Hui's words, everyone present was stunned. The tears in the imam's eyes suddenly rolled down. "By Allah, is what you said true?"
"That's right, not a single word is wrong!"
Time passed by, and Ma Hui began to explain in detail to the local indigenous people what hygiene and epidemic prevention was, why they could not drink raw water, and how to transport feces outside the city instead of burying it nearby...
While Ma Hui was working hard, the conflict on the beach gradually became fierce. On the beach where the sampan was parked, the French cavalry asked the medical team to get on the boat immediately and leave. However, Luo Hou and the others did not wait until Ma Hui came back. Willing to get on board.
The French army did not dare to take action directly. After all, there were so many warships on the sea looking at them, but they could not lose sight of the French dignity cavalry. They could only use their horses to approach step by step in an attempt to drive the Chinese into the sea, while talking nonsense. Yell.
But here is the seaside, the medical team has no retreat, the two sides are completely deadlocked, and the smell of gunpowder in the air is extremely strong.
The British on the sea also discovered that something was wrong. The Royal Navy knew that the French and Xiao Letian would not deal with it, so the fleet has been isolating the Zhiyuan in the outer sea and protecting it in the formation. In other words, the row closest to the beach is all It's a British battleship.
Naturally, he could see clearly from the close distance. Major General Jason put down the telescope and complained helplessly, "These Chinese people really like to cause trouble. What does the plague in Suez Port have to do with you? What are you doing now? We are not fighting against the French." That’s awesome…”
"You are really asking for trouble... Send a flag to the canal pilot boat to ask what's going on? If the French harm the British guests, our soldiers will intervene as soon as possible..."
The British flags caused panic on the pilot ship. The size of the British army on the sea was now beyond what Suez Port could resist. If a misfire occurred, the immediate loss would definitely be suffered.
The French officials on the diversion ship immediately issued orders to the harbor. After expressing a tough attitude, the French cavalry that besieged the medical team did not dare to push too hard. They had to form a semicircle formation to surround and control the medical team so that they could not enter the city again.
Time passed by, and the British lost their patience. "What's wrong with these Chinese? The canal will be cleared in two hours. Why haven't you boarded the ship? Send a signal to the Zhiyuan and ask what's going on." What's going on?"
The medical team on the beach has become the focus of the entire port. The British are paying attention here, and the French are also paying attention. The Egyptian natives behind the cavalry team have also gathered a lot of uninformed viewers to watch the conflict in front of them, and they are talking about it one by one. One after another.
“What are these Chinese people doing?”
"I heard they are waiting for their companions..."
"Companions? Could it be that the people attacked by those children were their companions..."
"Keep your voice down, don't let the Chinese hear it... It's all paid by the French, and those kids are just throwing stones. Listen to the bad boy next door to me..."
"What did you say?" A group of people gathered their heads together and asked in a low voice.
The guy who pretends to be mysterious enjoys the feeling of being surrounded by stars. "Listen to that bad boy...it's best to kill one person. As long as someone's life is lost here, the French will have reason to investigate. It seems that they will be detained for a few days." …”
These natives did not know about the contradictions and conflicts between the great powers. They were more interested in how high the price the French had offered and where a group of people were whispering. It seems that the bad habit of gossip is shared by the whole world.
On the second floor of the canal management company, Ferdinand looked at the beach in the distance with a telescope, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Wait, as long as three corpses are placed in front of Xiao Letian, I will see what he will do!"
"Anyway, they were stoned to death by ignorant indigenous children. If you have the ability, shoot and suppress them! If you endure this, your prestige in the military will naturally be greatly reduced. Who will look down on you?"
"If you don't dare to shoot to suppress the natives and don't want to endure this tone, then you can only negotiate with us. As long as there is a conflict, we have the power to investigate... I really want to go up and take a look at that Zhiyuan! "
It turned out that the whole incident was a conspiracy by Ferdinand. The big price he paid was to let those children kill the three Chinese soldiers who were alone during the conflict. As long as people died, there would be chaos, and if there was chaos, China would be disrupted. People's plans.
"Perhaps I can stop these people here in Suez without resorting to the ambush on the other side of the Great Bitter Lake..."
Just when he was feeling proud, there was suddenly a commotion on the Western Street. The natives who were watching the excitement made a noise and walked out of an alley.
In the alley, a group of people were walking over quickly. Ferdinand was stunned for a moment and then immediately raised his binoculars to look. As soon as he saw it, he cursed, "Asshole! Trash... Can't you even kill three lone soldiers?" ?”
In the camera, it was Ma Hui and other three Chinese people with a circle of local indigenous men protecting them. It seemed that these men were very prestigious in the local area. All the people watching the excitement fled away, and many people even put their hands on their chests and bowed in salute.
Luo Houhou saw Ma Hui at a glance on the beach. He jumped and shouted, "Ma Hui? Here... get on the boat quickly, we don't have much time!"
The anxious heart was finally put in the stomach. When everyone jumped on the sampan, they never expected that a few noble men would jump into the sea and help the medical team push the boat with their own hands.
The flat-bottomed sampan was pushed back into the sea from the soft sand. Ma Hui, who was standing on the bow of the boat, put his hands on his chest and bowed to them, "Thank you, my relatives!"
A group of indigenous nobles stood in the sea, holding their hands on their chests, "We should be the ones thanking you, my relatives far away. I wish you a safe journey!"
