357. Your own choice
People are always responsible for their choices, whether they are right or wrong. You have to finish the food you ordered with tears in your eyes, don't you?
When he saw Sonia come out, Blackbeard was very annoyed and said, "Didn't I tell you to hide?" I'm here, why are you coming out? β
Sonia glanced at Blackbeard very calmly, and said with pity in her eyes: "You have always been protecting me, and now it is not my turn to protect you!" Hayden. β
I suddenly felt that one head and two were big, what the hell is going on? And the kid......
Sonia glanced left and right, finally put her eyes on me, and asked without humility or arrogance, "Is it my brother who asked you to come?" Are you an Oriental? β
I was silent, but she sighed before continuing: "I just don't want to live that kind of arranged life, why is it so difficult? I've seen too much blood for the sake of freedom, and it shouldn't be like this! β
I suddenly said in Chinese, "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Sonia looked at me in surprise and asked anxiously, "Are you a citizen of the Ming Dynasty?"
It speaks a non-standard Chinese, and it looks very rusty at first glance, but there is no problem with the grammatical order.
That way, I'm pretty much sure she's the one I'm looking for! And looking at her face and appearance, she is indeed somewhat similar to her second uncle, but she is much better-looking, and it seems that her mother's genes are indeed very strong.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Sonia continued, "Since you're here for me, there must be no malice, right?"
I nodded silently, and she was overjoyed to see this, and then pleaded, "Then please let my husband go, can you?"
As he spoke, he pointed to Blackbeard, then looked at me longingly, and said, "For the sake of the child, please!"
I suppressed my excitement and continued to ask, "Did you do it voluntarily?"
I'm referring, of course, by marrying Blackbeard.
Sonia glanced at Blackbeard gently, and then said seriously: "Yes, I volunteered!"
I shook my head and motioned for my men to let go of Blackbeard. I looked at this middle-aged pirate who had been crisscrossing the Mediterranean for many years, and said lightly: "I hope you can cooperate a little and don't force me to kill again."
Blackbeard replied angrily, "As long as you don't hurt Sonia."
I smiled and didn't answer the question. But he turned to look at Sonia and said, "I have seen your brother, and he is good." I would also like to thank him for providing you with your approximate whereabouts so that I could find here. β
Sonia sighed at first, and then said very puzzledly: "Not him?" Who's that? No one else should care so much about me. β
As soon as these words came out, Blackbeard suddenly became alert again, lest I should do it against his wife.
I looked up at the ceiling, and my heart was full of emotion, the main purpose of my coming to Europe was to find her and fulfill my promise to my second uncle.
But since the beginning of the trip to this day, my world has long been a matter of people, and I have completely lost the news of the kite, but now this situation is ......
Seeing that I was silent, Sonia was also a little nervous, thinking about how to ask me for my true intentions, but I suddenly asked, "Do you know who your father is?" I mean, my own father! β
As soon as these words came out, Sonia's face suddenly changed greatly, and then she eased up again, and asked in a low voice, "Is it him...... He asked you to come? β
I nodded, but didn't speak.
Sonia seemed to be caught up in her emotions, and after a while she raised her head and said, "Come up and talk about it." It seems that this is not a matter of words. β
After saying that, he took the lead and went upstairs. Blackbeard was naturally not at ease, and he wanted to follow, but I didn't stop him, and I only took the nine ghosts Masataka to climb the stairs alone.
Upstairs is a very chic room, which looks very Ming Dynasty style. Once seated, Sonia placed the sleeping child on the bassinet and poured a cup of tea for each of us.
I took a sip and asked softly, "This is from my mother, right?"
Sonia nodded, and was silent for a while before saying, "My mother used to say before she died that she didn't blame my father, she was going to leave by herself." Later met my stepfather, Uncle Krisson, and he was very nice to her, so there are no regrets. β
After saying that, Sonia continued: "Mom said that Father is a good man and a hero! Is that right? β
When I heard this, I only felt that my eyes were hot and my nose was sore. The second uncle who was dying was thinking about this child, and she also gave him a fair evaluation, I silently looked up at the sky and said softly: "Did you hear that?" Second uncle? β
There was no response, but Sonia asked strangely, "What are you talking about?" I mean, he ...... Father he...... Is he okay? β
I only felt tears rolling in my eyes, but I forced myself to endure it, and after stabilizing my emotions, I looked at Sonia and said, "Second Uncle Zu, he has passed away!"
Sonia was stunned on the spot when she heard this, and she didn't know what to say. After a long time, he said softly in disbelief: "He...... Isn't he a big hero? How can you die? Also, you call him...... What to call him? β
I sighed before saying, "Strictly speaking, you are my cousin, and I am your cousin." When my second uncle was dying, I promised him that I would definitely find you! Do everything possible to help you! β
Sonia suddenly asked, "You...... What is your name? β
I replied, "My name is Sun Qilan." My maternal grandfather's surname is Ye, you must know? β
Hearing this, Sonia nodded silently and said, "Mom told me about my aunt. It's all because of love! So she didn't blame him, nor did she blame Uncle Ye. β
All of a sudden, I had a feeling of vicissitudes. After decades of fruitless love, I have a final evaluation in this foreign country, I should be happy for a few old people, right?
Thinking of this, I stood up and said, "Thank you for saying that, Cousin Sonia." This is important for both the deceased and the people who are still alive! With that, he bowed to her!
Sonia immediately got up and returned the salute, and said quite excitedly: "I didn't expect that my father would remember me!"
I stared at her and said lightly, "He has never forgotten for a moment, and he has always blamed himself."
Sonia lowered her head when she heard this, but did not speak, and she could see that her eyes were also red, and she choked slightly.
I sat down slowly, took a sip of water, and then continued to ask: "Second Uncle Ancestor explained to me before he died, let me do everything possible to help you, you ...... now"
As I spoke, I glanced at Blackbeard, and my cousin, who had been angry for most of his life, immediately became nervous.
Sonia gently took his hand, turned to look at me, and said, "Hayden is very good to me!" When I met him, he pursued me, and I offered to say yes only if he stopped piracy! And he did! β
I couldn't help but feel a little helpless, and looked at Blackbeard and said with a smile: "The last time I sailed here, it looked like I was almost attacked!" Is that not piracy? β
Blackbeard was stunned for a moment, and then scolded and said, "Nonsense! Ever since I promised Sonia not to wash her hands, I haven't robbed again! Except that some time ago, a fleet of Swedish enemy chambers of commerce was found at sea! β
Saying that, he shook his head and said, "That's a personal vendetta, not a robbery!" Different! β
I couldn't help but be a little stunned when I heard this, this guy really washed his hands? Sonia listened and watched, and suddenly smiled and said, "It's all a misunderstanding, right?" So there's no problem with that! Is that right? β
For a moment I was speechless. After thinking for a long time, he said helplessly: "This time, hmm...... My cousin made a lot of noise, and the Spanish Navy was afraid that it would not let him go easily! You should know, right? β
This incident is really something that the husband and wife are extremely worried about, and anyone will have trouble sleeping with such a behemoth as the Spanish Navy!
Of course, Blackbeard was embarrassed to ask, but Sonia didn't hesitate to ask, "Then what do you say?" Qilan, you're going to help us, right? β
I could only nod and think for a moment before asking, "I have some land in the New Da* Continent, well, there are also some forces, if you are willing to go there, I will call the shots, okay?"
New big * land? Sonia is very yearning for a new life, and it's better than not daring to leave the house here! So she looked at Blackbeard.
The former pirate king sighed, glanced at the child in the cradle, and then said calmly: "For Van Side, I should give you a stable life!" So, it's up to you to decide! β
So, this matter was decided. I never expected that the things that had plagued the second uncle for most of his life would be solved in such a way, maybe the second uncle never expected that what he lacked might just be a trip to sea, an attitude!
Put it on myself, the kite is gone, I don't know where it went, shouldn't I go to her? Do I have to be like my second uncle and ancestor and regret it for the rest of my life?
For the rest of his journey, Blackbeard dismissed most of his men, leaving only twenty of his long-time brothers. He wasn't worried that I would go back on itβI was going to kill him, and that would be easy in that case, and it wouldn't have to be so much trouble.
Then, Sonia and Blackbeard, carrying the property after the sale, took the children with me to Venice, in any case, little Cresson was very kind to Sonia's sisters, and he should have told him before leaving.
Cleison also sighed when she saw her sister end up like this, but everyone has their own fate, and this is her own choice. And it seems that she is really happy, so I also gave her sincere blessings.
After staying for a few days, Sonia and Blackbeard were ready to leave, after all, they were restrained everywhere here, and they didn't dare to go out at all, for fear that others would find out Blackbeard's whereabouts, so it was good to leave.
So, I entrusted Chen Kui to send the husband and wife to my territory in Manhattan, which can be regarded as the most perfect understanding of this matter.
Before she left, Sonia gave me a purple stone pendant that her mother had left for her, and she said it was her mother's last wish to give it to the person who brought news of her father.
And I not only brought the news, but also gave her the opportunity for happiness and pleasure for the rest of her life, so she naturally had no worries about handing me the pendant, and was very happy.
Looking at the fleet, my heart was turned upside down! Not only because the pendant resonated with the stone pendant on my chest, but also because I fulfilled my solemn promise to my second uncle with my own actions!
Then you will rest in peace! Second Uncle Ancestor!
