[Mummy] Yellow sand fills the sky

Poirot had to interrupt her a little, "Madame, excuse me for interrupting, so there seems to be no contradiction between you,"

"No, Mr. Poirot, you must understand. This is the crux of the matter. During the acquisition of this gift, he, my husband, did some very dangerous things. Of course, this is under the premise of legality. Even suffered a very serious injury, but he kept silent about it. Of course I can fully understand him, but I just can't forgive him." She straightened her body and sat in front of him.

"Monsieur Poirot, you understand that I love my husband, and I understand him, because we were married at a very chaotic time, a simple ceremony, and he was always guilty of it, and I often feel I am his mission. And this is something I do not want to see. I hope, Mr. Poirot, you can tell my husband as a bystander that I am a strong and independent woman. I hope that I will definitely not Not under his wing, but with him." She kept looking at Poirot without taking her eyes off her.

Poirot thought for a while, and then replied happily: "Of course, madam, it is my honor. But as long as a person looks into your eyes, he will know that this is a strong and respectable woman, and his behavior I am very happy." It can only be attributed to love. That's why Poirot I haven't found a sympathetic lady so far."

She stood up and happily took Mr. Poirot's arm, "Mr. Poirot, if I hadn't met my husband first, I would be very happy to be Mrs. Poirot now. You are really a lady." Good gentleman. Then I hope you can talk to my husband earlier, and then bring me a satisfactory result."

"Of course," Poirot raised his hat, "the best result is that when you arrive in Belgrade tonight, you will be able to lie comfortably in the same box."

"Oh, Mr. Poirot. Thank you so much. Two pieces of good news at once." She rushed forward and hugged Poirot gently.Then, she walked out briskly.

Checking the time, Poirot still walked towards the last ordinary carriage, and just as he stepped into it, he saw Mr. Montsolefort, who was as tall and straight as a pine log.He gave a slight greeting and stood beside him: "The snow scene outside is really impressive, I haven't seen such a big snow in a long time."

He just turned his head slightly, "No, this is a disaster. The snow is too thick, it will be a disaster for farmers if it does not block our road, everything has two sides. In our eyes this is just a beautiful scenery, in others In my eyes, this is a catastrophe, just like this society, if you don’t become a master, you will be trampled down by others, this is the cruel reality of this society. Are you right, Mr. Poirot.”

Poirot looked at him, his eyes were clear and firm, "Mr. Monsolefort, you must be a very successful person. No matter in which aspect, you can do your best as long as you want. However, You always feel like you have nowhere to go with Madame de Montsolefort, don't you?"

He was silent, watching Poirot, and Poirot was obviously watching him too. He often pursed his lips and didn't care much about his clothes, but they must be absolutely proper and neat.He is a man who has extremely high demands on himself and will definitely achieve them completely, but there must be a soft spot in his heart, which makes him a human being, not a beast that is always ready to attack.

He looked at Poirot. He was a smart and keen man. Although he was small in stature, he had great energy hidden in his body. The most important thing was that his soul was very pure. All pure people are upright and principled. .Therefore, those words came naturally: "I hope to give her the best. This is not only my promise to her family, but also my request to her, and it is also my request to myself."

"I can understand, but, sir, have you ever thought about it, this is not what Madam wants, and this is the difference between you."

"She deserves the best, she deserves to live in the most gorgeous place and have the best things, she deserves it. She shouldn't go anywhere dangerous with me, all I try to do is give her Better. It's mine..." He paused, the meaning already clear.

"Monsieur de Montsolefort, please forgive me, Madame Montsolefort is a strong and beautiful lady who can bear much more than you think. She wants your wholehearted confidence, which is She has repeatedly asked me to tell you. Another point, which is very important and which is only my own opinion, is that Madame de Montsolefort has always believed that you have given him everything he needs."

He took a deep breath, "I never thought of this. Thank you very much, Mr. Poirot. You have really helped me a lot."

"It is my pleasure, sir. It is indeed a pleasure to see the misunderstanding between you cleared up. And, sir, I am afraid I will bring you some good news this evening in Belgrade There will be new carriages." Poirot narrowed his eyes slightly.

He looked at him gently, "Thank you for your reminder, Mr. Poirot. Mr. Bowker has already mentioned this matter to me, and he has repeatedly apologized to me. You are true friends, and you are all of high moral character." Man, I am very relieved that my wife is under your care. What happened yesterday and today is really bothering you, especially when I know that my wife's booking was just a mistake by the hotel concierge. Bo Mr. Luo..." He reached into his pocket, as if looking for something.

Poirot realized it immediately, and he said hastily: "No, no, no, Mr. Monsolefort, I didn't do these things to get your thanks. It's just a little effort by a gentleman for a lady who is deeply troubled. If If you insist on doing this, please forgive me for not accepting it."

The smile on his face became more sincere, "Mr. Poirot, now I understand that my wife will let go of her guard against a stranger I have never met. Before that, I always thought her behavior was extremely inappropriate." Yes. Please accept this thing, not as a reward, but as a gift between friends, please accept it."

He took out a small piece of amber, which tightly wrapped a lifelike scarab, every tentacles were still intact, and the whole amber was surrounded by delicate gold, every trace of the pattern seemed to have a special meaning , and there is also a thin chain connected, no matter where it is adorned as a decoration, it is very appropriate.

Poirot readily accepted it, and he praised sincerely, "This is really the masterpiece of the creator. Its tentacles seem to be still shaking slightly. It is really delicate and full of Egyptian style. Now, I can't do it anyway. Refused."

He was very satisfied, "Mr. Poirot, you'd better wear it by your side all the time. In Egypt, this is a token of protection, and it can protect your safety."

Although Poirot never believed in these mysterious things, he could clearly understand that carrying this thing with him would never cause him any harm.He thought for a while, and replied: "Mr. Montsolefort, thank you for your kindness, I will. This is a precious gift, and I am very happy to meet you on this journey." They parted in the aisle .

At quarter past eight that evening the Orient Express arrived in Belgrade.The train was due to leave again at nine fifteen, and Poirot alighted on the platform.However, he did not stay long down.It was bitterly cold, and although the platform itself was covered, it was snowing heavily outside.

It happened that he saw the Montsoleforts who were also standing on the platform. They had recovered their sweetness now. When he saw Poirot, Mrs. Montsolefort held her husband's arm and greeted him warmly. "Mr. Poirot, would you like to come down to catch your breath? The weather is really bad. I haven't seen snow in Egypt. We moved into the carriage from Athens together. Thank you very much for restoring our relationship." efforts made."

Poirot bowed slightly, "Madame, I just said something, I didn't do anything."

"You are really too humble. If you hadn't gone to him, he would not have realized this. He has always wanted to impose his will on me. By the way, Bo Mr. Luo, next time you can help me persuade him to grow his hair. A bald head is only suitable for Egypt. Winter here is not a joke. I have never seen him with hair. What do you say, Imo Pause." Mrs. Montsolefort directly took off the hat on her husband's head, and it was really smooth, as if there was a cold wind swirling on it.

Mr. Monsolefort stood aside and looked at his wife dotingly: "My dear Kaya, I beg you not to do this, but you know, I cannot refuse your request."

Poirot looked at them very embarrassed, and he immediately understood that Madame de Montsolefort was just making a small joke, "Madame, you know, you can make a gentleman do anything, but you can't easily influence him." hair and Poirot's beard."

What responded to him was Mrs. Montsolefort's crisp laughter, but after a while, he got on the train with the Montsolefort couple.He walked back to his private room.The conductor, who was stamping his feet and rubbing his hands on the platform to keep warm, said to him: "Your luggage has been moved, sir, to Mr. Bowker's room in compartment one."

"Where, then, is M. Bouc?"

"He moved to the carriage from Athens that was just hung."

Poirot has found his friend.M. Bouc ignored his dissent.

"It's nothing. It's nothing. It's more fitting. You're going straight to England, so you'd be better off in the direct train to Calais. Hi, I'm fine here. It's the quietest. It's just me and a little Greek doctor in this car, and that couple, they're all nice people. Hi my friend, what a night! People say there hasn't been one this big in ages It's snowing. Let's hope we don't get caught up in the snow. I can tell you I'm not too happy about it."

At [-]:[-] the train pulled out of the station on time, and shortly afterward Poirot got up, said good night to his friend, and walked down the aisle to his own compartment, which was in front, next to the dining car.
