Chapter 48 Another Little Man(1/2)
I once again recalled the past with Piyou and how good she was.
She is kind. In the bar, she couldn't bear the hopelessness of Sasaki's apprenticeship, so she whimsically became her master's wife. On the top of the Big Wolf Mountain, she let go of Wu Falcon who kidnapped her.
She is brave, she can challenge Xiao Bu, she can also go to the Japanese martial arts gym to argue for Sasaki, and she has the courage to stand up to her father.
She is happy. She can hang out in the bar and laugh unscrupulously; she can also face being kidnapped by the Five Falcons and still chat happily with Karl.
She is even more free. For the sake of freedom, she can give up wealth and give up the opportunity to marry Hamid and become the princess in public at the Governor's Mansion; for the sake of freedom, she can take the risk of driving a bamboo boat to the middle of the lake to enjoy the moonlight.
She disdained the villa that many people longed for. When she knew it was Hamid's property, she never went back and disappeared into the vast sea of people. Even after searching for so long, I still couldn't find her.
figure.
I sat quietly by the lake, staring blankly at the lake. The cold moonlight reflected the miserable grass and hazy distant mountains beside me.
At some point, footsteps were heard in the distance, and a familiar figure walked towards the lake with firm steps.
It's Piyou, the girl I've been looking for all day but can't find her.
She came to the shore and stared at the lake for a long time. Then she bent down to move the long bamboo boat, carried it to the lake and rolled it into the water. Then she picked up the horizontal pole and stepped on it lightly.
Get on the bamboo boat, swing the horizontal poles left and right, and row toward the center of the lake.
Piyou had a rare talent. She stepped on the bamboo boat and sang. Her singing voice was like wisps of fresh fragrance, refreshing her heart and soul.
I made thousands of wishes before my pillow, but when I wanted to die, I would die on the green mountain.
The Golden Crow is cold and warm, the Dongting has no waves and the sea has no ripples.
Watching the sea of stars at noon, the northern star appears in the southern sky.
If you want to break it, don't dare to break it, and wait until the third watch for three poles.
These were the words I read to her when I played bamboo boat with her for the first time. Unexpectedly, she actually made it into a song.
Piyou sang several times and suddenly yelled: "Chongzi, you bastard!"
She cursed over and over again and sang the lyrics again after she finished cursing.
Suddenly, Piyou threw away the horizontal pole and jumped into the lake.
I was startled, jumped up like a spring, jumped into the lake and swam quickly towards the place where Piyou fell into the water.
The floating bamboo boat marked the location of Piyutou Lake, and I dived into the water with a sudden movement.
There is not a trace of light in the lake at night, and it is so dark that it is scary. There are many elusive sounds in the ears, which are both distant and approaching, extremely grand and extremely subtle. Sometimes they are like thousands of troops galloping, and sometimes they are like thousands of horses galloping.
The spring silkworms are whimpering.
I couldn't care less, so I opened my arms and groped around in the water, like a drowning man eager to grab a straw.
It was so violent that my fingers touched a soft patch, like waterweed, and my intuition told me that it might be Piyou's skirt.
I used both hands to pull a body that was still warm into my arms, and then quickly floated to the surface, breathing heavily.
When I surfaced, I finally saw Piyou's beautiful face. She closed her eyes tightly and remained motionless. I probed her nose with my fingers, but there was no breath left.
I was so anxious that I held Piyou in my left hand and swam towards the lake with both feet and right hand. In the rush, I drank several sips of water.
I took Piot ashore, let her lie flat on the grass, unbuttoned her clothes, pried open her teeth, pressed her chest quickly and forcefully, and performed manual rescue.
Piyou spat out some water and her eyes began to move.
My anxious heart finally relaxed a little.
"Pio, you're not dead, that's great."
Piyou looked at me and didn't speak for a long time. I stretched out my hand to help her straighten the wet hair stuck to her forehead, and touched her face. "Why are you so stubborn? You have to throw yourself into the lake to play."
"I said to her with a smile.
Piyou turned his face away, opened his mouth and bit my hand tightly. It hurt my bones, but I didn't cry out.
Piyou burst into tears suddenly, and she threw herself into my arms, "Chongzi, you bastard, you are worse than a bastard, why are you ignoring me? I left the Governor's Mansion and have been waiting for you until dawn.
, you didn’t even come out. I waited here for another day and night, but you still didn’t come to me. I can’t go back to Hamid’s villa, it’s hell. I fled from the Ottomans to England, and then from England to Australia.
I still can’t escape from Hamid’s grasp. I can’t go anywhere, and you don’t care about me anymore!”
I held her in my arms and patted her shoulders, feeling extremely heavy in my heart. Piyou was usually carefree and sometimes boasted of being the boss, but at heart she was still a little woman who longed to be protected and cared for.
"I know that you are a free bird and don't want to be a canary trapped in a cage. I all know that I was arrested by the governor that day and locked in a cell. I ran out of the cell.
I came looking for you right away, I looked for Sasaki, I looked for Tomoko, I have been looking for you all day today. Before you came here, I ran to the lake to fish you out, thank God, I finally caught you."
Piyou hugged my neck, his big eyes shining, "Really?"
"It's not true. Seeing you jump into the lake scared me. I jumped into the lake and tried my best to fish you out. When I fished it out, I found that you were not breathing. I wanted to die.
, I’m going to give you cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and I’m also going to give you artificial respiration!”
When I was about to say something else, Piyou leaned over and kissed me.
We didn't go anywhere that night, so we simply lit a fire by the lake and dried our clothes.
Piyou seemed to have turned into a person, always holding me and refusing to leave even half a step.
I know that at this time, she is in desperate need of a sense of security.
Piyou said to me: "Bug, Hamid knows I'm here and I can't stay in Australia any longer, so I'm running away again. Escape to a place where he can't find me."
"Where do you want to escape to?"
Piyou thought for a while, "I heard that there is a continent south of Australia called Antarctica. How about you go to Antarctica with me?"
I was shocked. Piyou really dared to think, "Come on, Antarctica is the most hostile place on earth. It has daytime for half of the year and night for half of the year. Even in summer, the temperature is minus 20 degrees below zero."
Duodu, if you go there, Hamid won't be able to find you, and I guess even the people on Earth won't be able to find you."
Piyou became more energetic and said, "That's great, let's go to Antarctica. I heard there are seals there. You roast the seal meat for me every day, and we can raise some penguins to play with."
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I really didn't know what Piyou was thinking. I just looked at Piyou smiling, and Piyou sighed, "Chongzi, am I having too many imaginations?"
I shook my head, "Piyu, why are you running away? What does Hamid mean? Australia is not Hamid's Australia. I don't have to worry. As long as I am here, no one can take you away. Don't forget
I am the magic marble, and I am also your little brother." As he said that, he took out his slingshot and shot a marble into the center of the lake.
I stood up and said, "I have thought about it. I will take you back to the small town. Didn't you say that you will live in the small town? I also promised you that I will take you hunting in the wilderness. By then, we will hunt many, many prey."
, I will cook barbecue for you. If anyone comes to trouble you, I will make sure he never comes back."
Piyou looked at me with a smile on his face, "Chongzi, you know, you don't look like a little brother at all now, but like a big hero."
I pulled Piyou up and said, "Haha, I am a great hero, the king of the wasteland. Let's go. Let's go back to the town now. In the future, you and I will be male and female robbers in the wasteland." Suddenly I felt "male and female"
The name "Big Thief" is not very appropriate. It seems that if I have the opportunity in the future, I will have to ask Carl to help me come up with a high-end, atmospheric and classy name.
After leaving the lakeside and passing by the Crown Hotel, Da Jinya was boxing in the garden in front of the hotel. When he saw me from a distance, Da Jinya ran over while taking a cigarette. He greeted with a charming smile, "This is not Shen.
Sir?"
I was full of disgust for this chameleon and said coldly: "What do you want to do? I stepped on your ground and you want to blow me away again."
Da Jinya waved his hands repeatedly, "It's a misunderstanding. It's all a misunderstanding. I didn't know how to recognize gold and jade. I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be a gourmet master. I'm disrespectful."
I didn't say anything, wondering if Big Gold Tooth had any bad ideas.
Da Jinya laughed, "No, it's better to meet by chance. Since we met so early in the morning, Mr. Shen, can you please go to the hotel for a cup of tea?"
"Stop it, I don't have that leisure time. If you have anything to do, just say it directly!"
"Mr. Shen is really a pleasant person. Let's put it bluntly. Mr. Shen's barbecue skills are really unique in Australia. I have no need to say. I am just wondering if Mr. Shen can come to our hotel to prepare delicious food. As for the salary, it is easy to negotiate.
, you will definitely be satisfied." Da Jinya assured, patting his chest.
I smiled and said, "Sorry, not interested."
With that said, he picked up Pi You and turned around to leave, leaving Da Jinya standing there, blowing his beard and staring.
As soon as they walked onto the street, Tomoko and Xiaobu walked towards them.
When they saw Piyou and me, the two of us were overjoyed and ran to Piyou.
Tomoko said angrily: "Piyu, where have you been these two days? You've made everyone anxious."
Xiaobu looked at Piyou, "Yes, we have been looking for you all night. Tomoko said that you might have gone to Lake Glo, so he took me here to look for you. What were you doing there? I was there a few days ago.
A savage attacked me there." After saying that, he gave me a fierce look.
"Come back with us!" Tomoko pulled Piyou up.
Piyou shook his head, "Thank you for your concern. I've thought about it. I want to go back to the town with Chongzi."
Xiaobu's face was gloomy. He looked at me and said to Piyou: "That's okay. My dad has a villa in a small town. He doesn't usually use it. I'll tell my dad that you can use it when you get to the town.
Live there."
Piyou looked at Xiaobu and said, "Xiaobu, thank you, I have a place to stay, so you don't have to worry about it." After saying that, Piyou looked at me.
Xiaobu said angrily: "Piyu, if you don't live with me, where else can you live?" He pointed at me and said loudly: "Are you going to live in the kennel of Chongzi's family?"
I couldn't help but get furious. I stretched out my hand to grab Xiaobu's finger and pulled it backwards. Xiaobu let out an "ouch" and squatted on the ground. Then he felt the pain of shouting in front of two classmates, Piyu and Tomoko. It was a huge loss of identity.
He gritted his teeth and held back, but sweat was already forming on his forehead, "Xiaobu, I'm already very polite to you. If you continue to act like this, I'll break all your fingers."
To be continued...
