Chapter 38: The Present of Doom (Ask for Recommendation Votes Collection)
After Li Ling explained the specific things that Tongzi had to do, Tongzi cleaned up, took advantage of the master's attention, pulled Li Ling out, and said softly: "Xiaoling, I worked so hard to help you run errands, you see, you can teach me two tricks of Lubanju!" β
"Stinky boy, are you running errands for me?" Li Ling knocked over with a chestnut, Tongzi hurriedly avoided it, Uncle Xiao's strength now is not as strong as in the past, he has suffered a loss, so he reacts very quickly.
"This is to save Pine Cone and Maple, help Brother Sakura get angry, and drive out robbers and jackals for our family! At this time, you are still negotiating terms with me! Li Ling said with a wave of his fist.
"No! Uncle Junior, I really want to learn this way! Tongzi looked bitter, "Since you are a carpenter, who doesn't want to touch this thing, this is the Tao passed down by our ancestors, so that our apprentices and grandchildren will not be bullied and will not suffer losses, why can the master learn from you, we can't touch it, I really can't figure it out!" β
"Do you want to chase girls, fall in love, get married and have children?" Li Ling looked at him and asked.
"Yes!" Kiriko replied without thinking.
"Do you want to pass on the family and have a full house of children and grandchildren?"
"Yes!"
"Do you want to live a peaceful, smooth and smooth life, no disasters and no difficulties, no illness and no pain?"
"Nonsense!"
"Then don't touch this thing, listen to your master, the third senior brother and I will not harm our own people." After Li Ling finished speaking, he got up and left.
"Xiao Ling, little uncle!" Kiriko shouted behind her back, "Then why are you studying?" Yes? You are the only one in your Li family, why can you touch it? β
"Will you get into Columbia?" Li Ling turned around and shrugged at him, "Everyone has everyone's luck, destiny and creation, Tongzi, you can't learn Luban like me, just like you can't be admitted to Columbia." This truth, you should understand it well, maybe when you figure it out, you don't want to learn Luban art. β
Li Ling walked into the workshop, and he had to talk to the third senior brother about how to set up a thousand bureaus, this matter can't be sloppy, and Lao Qian is most afraid of inadvertently having a flaw.
If Kiriko can find out what she needs today, she will be able to start work tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Anyway, Anderson gave himself three days.
And there is one more thing at the moment, and that is the disabled maid of Alice's house, Mary Shaw.
No one in this world wants to be a virgin, but he can't let an 18-year-old Chinese boy watch his friend's disabled maid, who is his own countryman, suffer a catastrophe and cripple his legs.
*****************************************
Chinatown Chinese Community, Lao Xiao's family.
Xiao Lao's father seized the opportunity to immigrate to the United States after the end of World War II when the Kuomintang government exported labor in related industries to the United States.
Lao Xiao's father was a swineherd, that is, a pig farmer, this is not funny, after the end of World War II, although the United States did not encounter a war, but it was also a hundred industries to be developed, at that time the United States also needed to breed industry, and the US government at that time considered raising pigs.
Lao Xiao's father was famous as a pig breeder in the army, and he seized the opportunity to go to the United States to respond to the call for pig breeding, and three years later, he obtained permanent residency in the United States.
But later, the pig industry did not develop in the United States, and after Lao Xiao was born and raised in the United States, he did not inherit his father's art industry, of course, he was not a student material.
He worked as a courier for the New York Post Company for more than a decade before losing his job and now driving a taxi with his family in the Chinese neighborhood of Chinatown.
His wife was a plantation worker for a wine company in New Jersey, just across the river from New York, and it's easy to get around.
But since more than two years ago, this Chinese family has been completely ruined, because his wife has suffered from this strange disease that can only drink water but cannot eat, and the cause of the disease cannot be detected in the best hospitals in the United States in the most developed country in science and medical technology.
And the expensive nutrient solution that sustains his wife's life makes the family even worse, because this nutrient solution cannot be reimbursed through American medical insurance and public security channels.
Therefore, compared with his wife's strange illness, his daughter Mary suddenly couldn't speak after waking up from a high fever and coma for many days seven years ago, which is no longer a problem for this unfortunate family, because his wife's current situation, as Yang Kun said, may not last three months.
"Xiao Juan......
From the hospital bed, there was a faint call.
"W-yah!!" Mary Shaw, who was sitting at the desk not far from the bed, suddenly shuddered, put down the pencil in her hand, and drew a devilish and terrifying figure on the drawing paper, but this devil was planting a seedling in the soil.
This sketch line and pen skills are very profound, and it is difficult for a mere enthusiast to achieve this level.
Mary hurried to her mother's bed, and as soon as she grasped her thin arm, tears welled up in her eyes.
Mother can speak!
Mary is dumb, that is, she is dumb from the day after tomorrow, so she is not deaf in her ears, and many people think that she is deaf and mute, but in fact she is very good hearing.
At this time, Lao Xiao, who heard his daughter's shout, also walked in.
"Old Xiao...... I had a dream, I felt like I was about to lose it, I, I couldn't do it...... I have something to say to you and Xiaojuan......"
A call, a goodbye, instantly made Lao Xiao cry, Mary hugged her mother, whining and babbling, already tears wet her clothes.
"Ah Fang, what are you talking about, you can speak again now, it means that God has opened his eyes!" Lao Xiao hurriedly held his wife's hand, and said with a handful of snot and tears,
"The pill left by that weirdo yesterday is really a miracle drug, more effective than so many hospitals in the United States! This must be God blessing us, the Bodhisattva blessing you, Ah Fang, you will be fine, don't think about it......"
The wife shook her head, looked at her daughter again, and said for a while, "Xiaojuan, you should go to Mr. Grant's house, right?" β
Mary shook her head, her full name was Xiao Tingjuan, and "Mary" was her name when dealing with white people. She gave her mother a sign language and told her mother that a great misfortune had befallen Mr. Grant's family: Mr. Grant had been seriously injured in a car accident, and Mrs. Grant had been born prematurely and had not yet been discharged from the hospital.
Mary told her mother that Mrs. Grant's daughter, Alice, had called early in the morning and said that there had been no one at home for the past two days, so that she could not go to work today, and the point was that Alice told herself that today, one of her classmates would come to Chinatown to find her.
Mary told her mother, Alice's classmate, who she had met twice at Alice's house, was also a Chinese, very kind and polite boy, but she wondered why this boy came to her.
After listening to her daughter's words, Mary's mother grabbed her daughter's hand and said slowly: "Mom's most worrying thing is Xiaojuan, you could have gone to university to study art, but ...... It's my mother who hurt you, my mother deserves such a big crime! Xiao Juanβ"
Mary shook her head desperately, patted her mother's mouth, told her not to say any more, and told her mother in sign language that this qiΔ was all providence and fate, and no one could be blamed.
Seven years ago, 18-year-old Xiao Tingjuan was admitted to the art department of New York University, she loved painting since she was a child, but her bright future came to an abrupt end, one day, she suddenly had a high fever and fainted, and after being in a coma for three days and three nights, she finally woke up, but she could no longer speak, and she also went to the best hospital in the United States to check, and her vocal cords were fine, but she was dumb.
But in her mother's view, the cause of the incident was that she objected to Mary befriending a Chinese boy, and she scolded Mary, and Mary burst into tears, and soon she developed the high fever that caused her to be hoarse......
For so many years, her mother blamed herself and remorseful for this, and Mary was ruined in her mentality and life because of this sudden blow, so naturally she did not go to college, and it took her nearly three years to get out of the shadow of depression and autism, and later came to Grant's house to work as a maid.
"Old Xiao, I was able to smuggle to the United States safely from the other side where my family was persecuted by that big movement, thanks to the five copper coins handed down by my family......" Lao Xiao's wife coughed a few times,
"On that smuggling boat, more than a dozen of us were locked up in the cabin for a long time to avoid the coast guard, and it was so hot that many of us suffocated to death.
"But, I did see the five copper coins flashing, I put them on my chest, and then, I felt fresh air enter my lungs, and I could survive...... Then, I came to the United States and met you.
"However, since seven years ago, after the five copper coins were accidentally lost by me, our family has begun to have accidents one after another, Xiaojuan is dumb, you are unemployed, and I have this disease again......
"Old Xiao, this is my ancestor punishing me! They punished me for not losing those five copper coins, which were the real Big Five Emperor coins! Millions, tens of millions can't buy ...... It's all my fault, it's me who hurt you, it's me......"
When the family hugged each other and cried, they suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
Mary stood up, looked at the clock, wiped her eyes, and hurried to open the door.
A handsome Chinese boy stood at the door, carrying a bag of fruit in his hand.
The boy is naturally Li Ling, last night, he contacted Alice, preparing to go to her house to see Mary Shaw today, but Alice told him that her mother had not been discharged from the hospital, and she had been in the hospital with her mother for the past two days, so she asked Mary not to go to work today, and told her the address of Mary's house.
So, Li Ling came to Chinatown with his mother early in the morning, and his mother's furniture store was in the best part of Chinatown.
From Alice, he learned that Mary's mother was seriously ill, so he went to buy some fruit. This is what the descendants of Yan and Huang have in their bones -- because when foreigners come to visit the sick, they must buy carnations or roses or something.
Kiriko only came home yesterday evening to tell Li Ling about the news and information he had discovered. Pinecone and Maple have been released on bail, but the bail conditions are extremely strict, and Li Lin has paid a bail of 30,000 US dollars!
Although the money will be refunded at that time, Li Lin did not have so much working capital around at that time, and it was very troublesome for this money for a while, and Songguo and Maple Tiao could not go out of New York until waiting for the court arraignment, and had to call the court three times a day to report their whereabouts...... It's like being put under house arrest.
Li Ling hurried to Chinatown, intending to go back to work immediately after relieving Mary Xiao of the curse on her.
The innocence and freedom of Pine Cone and Maple Strip are still in the hands of the white strips at the Punal Town Police Station, but it is impossible to get them to withdraw the lawsuit and settle out of court, and not let them drink a pot first.
The woman in front of him was Mary Shaw, Li Ling naturally recognized it, as a professional in the industry, he naturally had to look at her forehead as soon as he saw her.
Ancient and modern Qimen Shun A person who is a person who is a person who looks at the face of the person and looks at the forehead pattern, because according to his professional sensitivity, whether he is harming others or being harmed, this kind of magic or a person who is overcome, his seal hall and forehead lines will definitely leave signs of Chongke.
Li Ling only saw Mary Shaw's forehead lines clearly, and realized that the time to stay at her house today would not be too short-
The Kunmu lines on her forehead are extremely crooked and conspicuous, and the Kunmu lines are a sign of her mother. This pattern is crooked and incorrect, indicating that its mother's life is worrying, and the number of catastrophes is current.
And the Kun Mu pattern is usually almost hidden in the hundreds of rings on the forehead, but at this time, it is so conspicuous, which shows that her mother's life is being overcome! Now! Chong Ke ing!
This is really an unfortunate family.
