Chapter 12: Home in San Francisco

Liu Yanzhi felt that he was about to be torn apart by two invisible forces, not the tearing of the body, but the feeling of black and white impermanence pulling the soul out of the body, fortunately, this pain only lasted for a short time, and suddenly the sun was shining, the sky and white clouds were long on his head, and the sound of the waves of the sea was in his ears.

The whistle sounded, a huge cruise ship entered the port, the shape of the ship was quaint, at a glance he knew that it was the product of the beginning of the last century, he knew that the crossing was successful, and he returned to San Francisco in 1902.

"Doesn't it feel good?" Hannibal, also lying on the beach, was slowly getting up, and the impact of the crossing was so great that his face was painfully distorted.

Liu Yanzhi was suddenly afraid for a while, he was too scheming, if Hannibal wanted to design a plot against himself, he only needed to do something on the rocket car, and he could send himself to any era, such as the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs were rampant, then there would be no place to find regret medicine.

It can be seen that Hannibal is quite kind, Liu Yanzhi's impression of him has improved a lot, he stood up and patted the sand on his body and said, "It's okay." ”

The two walked into the city, Liu Yanzhi tried to restrain the desire to run, Hannibal understood his mood very well, and smiled: "I walk slowly, you can wait for me at the laundry." ”

"Okay, I'll see you later." Liu Yan couldn't look at his image anymore, so he ran away, running all the way down the streets of San Francisco, and didn't stop until the entrance of Chinatown, his heart was beating wildly, because he had already seen the people in front of Yanzhi's laundry from a distance.

It was Lin Su, who was taking out the washed clothes from the basin and drying them on the rope, and there was a little boy standing in the wooden bucket beside him, babbling his little hands and waving them around.

Liu Yanzhi suddenly burst into tears, walked over quickly, stopped outside the store, and looked at Lin Su quietly.

Lin Su straightened his waist, put the wet clothes on the clothesline, carefully sorted them out a few times, beat his sore waist, and looked back inadvertently, the whole person was stunned, slowly turned around, his eyes were also full of tears, and he tried to bite his lip not to cry.

Liu Yan opened her arms, but Lin Su didn't pounce, she was a lady in the feudal era, although she crossed the ocean to support herself, but she was still reserved, even if she missed it in public, she wouldn't show it, she just took out the baby less than a year old from the barrel, and said happily: "Look, Daddy is here." ”

The baby's big black eyes looked at Liu Yanzhi and smiled.

Liu Yan walked directly to the child and hugged it awkwardly, Lin Su picked up the wooden basin and said, "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

Entering the laundry, Lin Su hung a wooden sign on the door that was closed in Chinese and English, covered the door, Liu Yanzhi put the child down over there, and the two hugged each other tightly, Lin Su held back for a while before crying, Liu Yanzhi gently patted her back and comforted: "It's okay, I'm back, our family is reunited." ”

"You're done?" Lin Su asked.

"Hmm."

"You came here four months ago, why did you leave again?"

"It's a long story, why didn't I find you last time I came back?"

The two asked each other, four months ago, Lin Su was working in the store, and suddenly an acquaintance came, saying that he had seen Liu Yanzhi in Pittsburgh in the east, so Lin Su hurriedly took the soft and took the child, took the train to the east to find a husband, tossed a trip and did not find anyone, but after returning in a huff, he heard that her husband had come, but he left again, and the laundry was burned, but fortunately, her husband left enough money to rebuild the laundry, so Lin Su continued to stay here with confidence, because she knew that her husband would return at any time.

"What acquaintance?" Liu Yanzhi asked.

"It's a warm-hearted person when giving birth." Lin Su replied, "It was thanks to the family at the beginning, otherwise our mother and mother would have died twice." ”

Liu Yanzhi understood that the so-called warm-hearted people were Hannibal's men.

"By the way, I still have a young man named Aki left?"

"That kid has another job." Lin Su said, "I went to be a scholar for the rich." ”

Liu Yan sighed straightly, disapproving, the maid can buy it as long as he has money.

"Do you want to go back, the court ......" Lin Su was worried, in her impression, Liu Yanzhi was still a guard with a knife in front of the emperor, a celebrity beside Guangxu Ye, and shouldered an important role in the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty.

In an instant, countless scenes appeared in Liu Yanzhi's mind, it was 1902, less than ten years before the Wuchang Uprising and the abdication of the Qing Emperor, and then Yuan Shikai stole the country and became the emperor, the southern expedition and the northern expedition, and the smoke everywhere, finally the Kuomintang dominated the world, and the Japanese annexed the three eastern provinces, the land of China has always been in a state of poor livelihood for the people, and the state of war for many years, there is almost no pure land, even the concession in Shanghai was only peaceful for 30 years, the Anti-Japanese War broke out, Japan declared war on Britain and the United States, and the concession still fell, to four or five years, The Japanese were defeated, the civil war resumed, and in the forty-ninth year, if they did not leave the mainland, they could end up like Chen Zikun's family.

With his own ability, he can completely ensure that his family has no worries about food and clothing, but he is not the material of a military strategist and politician.

These thoughts were only between lightning and flint, Liu Yanzhi shook his head decisively: "If you don't go back, the war is in chaos, and the Qing Dynasty will die in a few years, anyway, I don't have any relatives over there, let's stay in San Francisco and watch the children grow up together." ”

Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was also reluctant to go back to China.

"What's the child's name?" Liu Yan touched his son's little face, the little guy was not afraid of life, and giggled.

"The scientific name has to wait until the age of six to make a comeback, and now there is only a nickname, called Little White Dragon." Lin Sudao.

"Little White Dragon, why did you come up with such a nickname?" Liu Yanzhi is a little puzzled, the tradition of the Chinese, nicknames should be called dog leftover eggs and other cheap names to feed, the name of the little white dragon is too domineering.

Lin Su smiled: "This is the United States, the rules in our hometown are not popular, I like to call it that, no one cares." ”

"Little white dragon, let Daddy hug you." Liu Yanzhi picked up his son again, how happy he looked, and then looked at Lin Su, with a thin and slender body, a fair face, and bloodless lips, but his face was filled with an expression of happiness, and he felt pity in his heart, and hugged the mother and daughter together in his arms.

There was a knock on the door, and Lin Su hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, it's closed early today." ”

"Probably my friend." Liu Yan thought of Hannibal and hurriedly opened the door, but there was a strange black woman standing outside, a maid who had come to pick up clothes.

Lin Su took the washed clothes and put them in a paper bag for the maid, and after sending them away, he closed the door again, and said angrily: "If there is any more knocking on the door, it will not be opened." ”

"I'll have a friend later." Liu Yan said straight, saying in his heart why Hannibal hasn't arrived yet, this speed is too slow.

Hearing that her husband's friend was coming, Lin Su panicked: "I'm like this, I'm going to embarrass you, do you want to keep someone to eat and live in our house, I'll make a few dishes, by the way, is it Tang or white, male or ......"

"It's a white man, a man, don't bother with it, let's go to a restaurant and eat." Liu Yan touched his body directly, but he brought a wallet, but they were all new dollars, and they couldn't be used at all in 1902.

Lin Su breathed a sigh of relief and went upstairs with the child in her arms, she wanted to put on makeup.

After a while, Lin Su went downstairs, swept his eyebrows lightly, inserted a golden hairpin in his sideburns, and changed into a splendid skirt, Liu Yanzhi's eyes lit up, Lin Su was only twenty years old, although he suffered a lot, a little bit of slapping is a peerless style.

The two waited downstairs for a long time, drank two pots of tea, Hannibal had not yet come, Liu Yan was in a hurry, went out to look for it, and searched all over San Francisco and did not see Hannibal, he suddenly realized that Hannibal would not appear.

Back at the laundry, Lin Su had already cooked the meal, and the neighbors heard that Lin Su's husband was coming, and they all came to congratulate him, in fact, these neighbors had seen Liu Yanzhi when the fire broke out three months ago, and they had eaten and drank together.

It was dark, the gas lamps were lit on the street, the candlesticks were lit in the laundry, there were eight dishes on the table, a pot of Jiangnan daughter red, there was very little trade between China and the United States in these years, and rice wine was brought by tourists from Shanghai, which was very precious, and the price was much more expensive than whiskey brandy or something.

Lin Su poured Liu Yanzhi a glass of wine, sat next to him without moving his chopsticks, and looked at him like this, his eyes full of tenderness.

"You can eat it too." Liu Yan said straight.

"I'll just watch you eat, it's like three autumns every day, we haven't seen each other for a year and a half." Lin Su's eyes turned red again as she spoke, a weak woman crossed the ocean, looking for a husband across the country, and the hardships and grievances she suffered were incalculable, and when she finally saw her husband, the family had a pillar, and the strong armor that was hard in her heart and weak on the surface collapsed in an instant.

In order to find his wife and children, he crossed history twice, and the risks he took were also fatal, and the fact that Hannibal disappeared and Lin Su was tricked into going to Pittsburgh made him understand one thing, that is, Hannibal crossed the system with serious flaws and could not take people back.

In other words, he can't bring the people of the 1900s back to the baseline plane, and can only live forever in this era, perhaps this is a conspiracy of Hannibal, throwing himself in the moment of the long river of time, his wife and children are young, and his ambition is consumed, and he will not cause any more chaos for him.

In any case, he was indeed trapped in 1902, even if he returned to the Qing Dynasty now, there was no crossing cabin on the top of Cuiwei Mountain, but Liu Yanzhi was not desperate, he knew that the party and the country could not do without him, and the organization might send someone over tomorrow, but Mengshan would also cut off Hu again, and a vicious battle was indispensable.

After the meal, Lin Su fed the child, turned off the lights and went to bed, the husband and wife had endless words, Lin Su chattered, and told Liu Yan what had happened in the past year and a half, on this Chinatown, who helped her and who harmed her, she remembered it clearly, thanks to the fact that this daughter of the prefect's family is a Hunanese, and the pungency in her heart is stimulated, which is enough to compete with Chaoshan people.

"There is kindness in return, and there is revenge in revenge." Liu Yan said lightly, his thoughts had already flown to a hundred years later, in the days of waiting, he was going to have a few more children with Lin Su, and when the time came, he would bring them back together, buy a villa, and the house was full of children's laughter......
