Alibaba was a very courageous man, or rather, a very courageous poor man. For him, nothing was more terrible than being poor.
He rode his donkey into the forest and began to search carefully.
However, after a day, he did not find the forty thieves and the great secret treasure that the”sage” had mentioned.
He returned home with an ugly face, silent and thoughtful.
On the second day, he gritted his teeth, rode his donkey again, and headed for the forest.
On the third day, the fourth day… time passed slowly, and in the end, going to the forest every day to observe and search had become Alibaba’s habit. He was eager and no one could stop him from going.
At this time, Rock, who was constantly observing with a military telescope, murmured:”The sunk cost is too high.”
Failure once or twice is acceptable, but when the number of failures is too many, coupled with the desire for wealth, this matter has become a demon in the heart.
Finally, on this day, Alibaba, who had been searching for a little numb, suddenly heard some strange sounds, which seemed to be horses, or a large number of horses.
Alibaba shuddered, his eyes widened instantly, he locked the donkey quietly aside, and approached cautiously and expectantly.
Forty people, riding forty horses, how huge the momentum was, the smoke and dust were flying, and Alibaba was frightened. At this moment, he had already vaguely understood why these thieves could obtain such a mountain of treasure. The forty horses stopped in unison, and the thieves carried the treasures they had just robbed, laughing and shouting to each other as they rushed to a location. Not long after, they came to a rather hidden gate and shouted,”Open sesame!”
In an instant, the gate slowly opened with a heavy roar, and the amazing jewels and gems revealed from it, making the back golden.
The thieves excitedly threw the newly robbed treasures into it, and shouted again,”Close sesame!”
Then, one by one, shoulder to shoulder, arm in arm, they started the next road to”getting rich”.
It was a long time after the forty thieves left that Alibaba, sweating all over, dared to walk out of the forest. His eyes were filled with awe, fear, and more than that, greed, endless greed.
He hurried forward and shouted according to the command he had heard before:”Open sesame!”
The heavy door slowly opened again. After a moment, Alibaba’s eyes widened. He saw it, a mountain! A real gold mountain! A gold mountain made entirely of treasures!
After being stunned, he rushed forward in ecstasy and began to put treasures into the tools he brought with him. Soon he filled a big bag!
Carrying the heavy bag, he shouted”Close sesame” again and excitedly started to rush home.
When he got home, he heard his wife’s complaints.
“Alibaba, how long are you going to be crazy? What thief, what treasure, it’s all lies!”
Hearing his wife’s doubts, Alibaba’s eyes flashed coldly.
Foolish woman!
Not only is it not a lie, he has already got the treasure!
The next moment, Alibaba suddenly subconsciously glanced up and down at his wife.
Alibaba himself was a poor man, and he married a woman from a poor family. As you can imagine, she was dry, dark, thin, and unattractive.
Such a woman, Alibaba, has already made a fortune and has amazing treasures. Does he still need to endure such a woman? At this moment, his”moving” sister-in-law flashed from his mind.
In the era of poverty and hardship, when people could not even eat, his wife was also a laborer, and naturally she would not regard thinness as beauty.
Alibaba’s eyes rolled, he carried the bag into his room, stuffed the bag full of treasures into a cupboard, and then took out a few pieces from it, turned and walked towards his wife.
“My dearest wife, come and see what I brought you”
“Oh my God, where did this treasure come from? Did you really find the legendary treasure?”
“Haha, no, no, I found another opportunity”
“My beloved wife, go, go to my brother’s house and let the brother who has always looked down on us see that we can also live a good life, better than them!”
Upon hearing this, Alibaba’s wife’s eyes suddenly lit up. Women are vain. Who doesn’t want to live better than others? Who doesn’t want to see the envious eyes of others! Especially that person is already an existence that she has always envied.
There was no need to hesitate. Alibaba’s wife put on the jewelry that was not very suitable, turned around and walked towards Alibaba’s brother Cassim’s house.
Cassim was a handsome man. Compared with Alibaba, who was skinny, he and Alibaba did not look like a pair of brothers at all.
Otherwise, he could not marry a merchant’s daughter, while Alibaba, who was of the same origin, could only marry the daughter of a poor man.
At this time, the handsome Cassim and his slender and beautiful wife looked at Alibaba’s wife who came to the door wearing a treasure, and their faces were shocked and strange.
Who would have thought that Alibaba’s wife, who had always been poor, would suddenly wear such luxurious and gorgeous jewelry.
Especially the sharp-eyed Cassim found that the accessories the other party was wearing were not very fitting.
Cassim’s eyes rolled around, and he suddenly thought of something. He asked his wife to temporarily scare Alibaba’s wife, and he picked up a knife that looked very gorgeous, turned around and walked out of the house.
He quickly rushed to Alibaba’s home, forced Alibaba with a knife, and learned everything from Alibaba.
The only information he got was that Alibaba had found a great secret treasure and accidentally got the formula to open the great secret treasure.
Cassim was envious and jealous of the other party’s good luck, but soon, all of this turned into excitement.
The great secret treasure! His, it will all be his!
He hurried out and followed Alibaba’s instructions to rush in the direction of the thief’s treasure.
At this time, behind him, Alibaba, who was originally frightened, changed his expression, lifted his collar casually, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly:”Idiot!”
Alibaba was not lacking in cleverness. He knew very well that these treasures of unknown origin could not withstand scrutiny. If he kept taking them out, it would easily attract other people’s attention. After all, he was not rich. However, his stupid brother was different. Not only did he have a beautiful wife, he also had a business background. If he could replace all that, then everything would be fine.
