Chapter VII: Abduction
Feng. Mrs. Ludwig had been very annoyed lately, and her intention was to have nothing to do with this Oriental woman after paying the money, but unexpectedly, her son knew her address, and ran to the door by himself at every turn, and asked for food and drink like a beggar. Knowing this, he should not have agreed to his request to thank him personally, his son does not speak often, has a slight self-autism, and is often immersed in his own world, treating everything as if it were nothing. That time he stared at him pleadingly with blue eyes, and she involuntarily agreed, and quadrupled the honorarium.
Shen Mengxi didn't know the troubles of that lady, and studied diligently every day and ate hard.
Helen also cooks well, she can make nearly ten flavors of sausages, pickle cabbage, make apple crisp, her baked bread is fragrant and chewy, they take turns cooking, work and housework, and share the cost equally, but the old-fashioned Helen insists on paying 20% more food expenses, because her appetite is much greater than Shen Mengxi's.
Frank came to dinner every Sunday and didn't talk much, but ate a lot.
Like a true gentleman, he always brought gifts such as cakes, ice cream, flowers, etc., and once brought a hare, which he said he had hunted with his own hands. After Helen dealt with it, Shen Mengxi made a hare stewed potato, ginger ingredients, peppercorns, dried chili peppers, rough atmosphere.
Poor Frank grew up to 12 years old and never grabbed meat directly with his hands. All the flesh with bones, he was at a loss.
Now she was pitifully clutching her chopsticks and asking Shen Mengxi for help, hoping that she could break down some of this fragrant meat for herself.
Shen Mengxi wiped his hands with wet wipes, picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in the bowl in front of him, reached out and grabbed it, and gnawed on it, "Hmm! It smells so good! She said in Chinese.
Helen has long forgotten table manners, and in her concept, eating Chinese food should be like this: eat noodles with a lur, eat meat with nibbles, and eat vegetables with chopsticks.
Frank hesitated for five seconds, and finally stretched out his white piano fingers, pinched a piece of rabbit meat, and brought it to his mouth, a mixture of rabbit meat and spices rushed into his nose and reached his brain, he involuntarily opened his mouth and began to eat.
Instinct, overcoming everything.
Two German foodies, sweating profusely, smiled and smiled.
Feng. When Mrs. Ludwig arrived, she saw this scene, she screamed, wiped her son's wet curls with a handkerchief, grabbed her son's hand, wiped the oil stains on it with a handkerchief, and kept shouting: "Rude! Dirty! Inferior! ”
Frank was dragged away, he looked at Shen Mengxi pleadingly, at the door, he struggled to break free of his mother's palm, only to listen to Feng. Mrs. Ludwig shouted a few words in French. Frank shuddered, lowered his head, didn't look at Shen Mengxi again, and walked out obediently.
Shen Mengxi, who had taken French at Pestaloch College since the previous year, understood those words, and in a nutshell, if Frank insisted on coming into contact with this inferior Oriental woman, she would make it impossible for her to gain a foothold in Germany, or even kill her.
Helen did not know French, and she babbled on and on about noble ladies and other things, which was actually the most annoying, and she had no appetite to eat.
The meal was almost finished, Shen Mengxi's face did not change, and he cleaned up the table as usual.
"Great grace is like a great enemy!" This sentence popped up in Shen Mengxi's mind.
Although it was received by Feng. Mrs. Ludwig's money seemed to be indebted, but this noble lady did not want to see her and repeatedly remind herself that she had to be favored by this oriental woman, which is the so-called avoiding great benefactors as avoiding great enemies.
Shen Mengxi likes life in Germany very much, the depreciation of the Deutsche Mark in recent years, but it does not affect her life, people here are self-disciplined and restrained, follow the rules, do their own things, everything runs according to the law, it seems to be rigid, but in fact it is more free.
But no matter how good it is, it's time to leave.
Rao has lived for so many years, and Shen Mengxi never thought that saving two lives would end up being expelled or even killed. In the evening, she calmly analyzed the current situation. The study is about to end, one is to transfer to the UK, and the other is to book a ferry ticket back to China in advance.
Thinking of Feng. Mrs. Ludwig's eyes, Shen Mengxi was a little discouraged, racial discrimination doomed her to live in the European continent equally and freely. Forget it, it's better to return to China, even if it is on the cusp of public opinion, it is only a few days, find an opportunity to go to the United States to avoid the limelight of the war.
She checked the two pistols in the Wuling space again, and put the few knives in her hand, as well as the two long swords that practiced the Tai Chi Sword, together before she breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep.
Frank didn't come to dinner for three weeks in a row, which made Shen Mengxi breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time missed this little boy a little, he was shorter than his grandson Anton when he was 12 years old, Anton was very naughty, half of the blood of the fighting nation, so that he was brave and heroic, fearless, not at all like this Frank, like a delicate crystal cup, which would be broken if he was not careful.
But his blue eyes will make Shen Mengxi feel kind, and this is the only thing in the world that can make her feel comforted at the moment.
She often dreamed that she was alone on the sea, wandering dazedly, even the stars in the sky were strange, and she was desperately lonely.
In the fourth week, Frank suddenly came, and Shen Mengxi was both happy and worried.
Frank sent an invitation, he was very happy to invite Shen Mengxi to participate in next week's winter hunt, Shen Mengxi said in embarrassment, he was close to graduation recently, busy with schoolwork, he had booked a ticket to return to China, and asked him to convey his gratitude to Feng. Mrs. Ludwig's thanks.
Frank's face fell, "Mom gave me permission to come to you!" She's given me permission to play with you! ”
"But my family lives far away in China, and I have to go back." Shen Mengxi stroked his curly blonde hair, "You are a wonderful boy, you must be a big hero when you grow up!" ”
She praised Frank as she did back then.
Frank put down the invitation anyway and left a little frustrated.
A week later, on the way to school, Shen Mengxi was suddenly grabbed by the arm of two tall men, stuffed into the car like a chicken, and sped away, the bicycle fell to the ground, and the wheels were still slowly spinning.
One drove, the other escorted Shen Mengxi in the back seat, the car drove towards the suburbs, Shen Mengxi understood that it was Feng. Mrs. Ludwig's means. Out of contempt, the two did not tie up Shen Mengxi, the man's mountain-like body sat in the back seat, pressing the car off. Shen Mengxi shrank by the car door and didn't say a word.
The two men began to tease Shen Mengxi's face, skin color, and figure, laughing insolently.
Shen Mengxi took the opportunity to take out the anti-wolf spray and sprayed it twice in the eyes of the man in the back seat, the man let out a scream like killing a pig, covered his eyes, and the driving man braked subconsciously, Shen Mengxi took the opportunity to jump out of the car and ran the way he came.
Under his feet are a pair of leather boots with thick heels, and he can run quite effectively, with the whirring wind in his ears and the shouts of chasing men behind, Shen Mengxi has never encountered such a thing in his life, and he doesn't know where to run in this foreign country.
She hesitated whether to take out the car in the space, and when she took out the car to kill people, she saw two cars stopped at the intersection. Mrs. Ludwig, dressed in a flaming red hunting suit, stepped down.
Shen Mengxi lamented in his heart.
Stopped, gasped, and said, "Madame, Madame, help me!" ”
Frank also got out of the car, and when he saw Shen Mengxi, he was taken aback, his eyes suddenly became a little panicked, although the child was a little autistic, but he did not lack IQ, he vaguely guessed something, and his blue eyes dimmed.
"That's my servant, they went to invite you to join our family's hunt, I think you must have misunderstood something."
Shen Mengxi gritted his teeth with hatred, and stuffed his arms into the car as an invitation.
She gasped and calmed down. If you come here, let it be safe.
Shen Mengxi smiled and talked to Feng. Mrs. Ludwig saluted, "That's right, I really misunderstood." ”
Feng. Mrs. Ludwig looked at her with interest, "Then let's go." ”
There were three cars on the trip, and we went straight to Sauron Castle.
Frank's father had arrived at the castle early, and saw him walking around with a few short, sturdy German terriers.
Shen Mengxi had no intention of admiring this beautiful baroque castle on the water, and she was a little restless.
Frank came to her, his blue eyes couldn't hide his sadness, he gave her a knife, "This is a Prussian noble hunting knife, give you self-defense, if you encounter a beast, or danger, you will kill it!" The boy said through gritted teeth.
Shen Mengxi took it with a smile: "Thank you, Frank!" What a precious gift! ”
That night, Shen Mengxi attended their dinner, the castle was not resplendent and brightly lit, on the contrary, it was very old, the room was high and dark, and there were chandeliers and large candles everywhere, which felt like a ghostly building.
Shen Mengxi met Frank's father, Feng Mengxi. Count Ludwig, he seemed to be a rigid and stubborn man, not tall, with a slight frown, a firm look in his eyes, a pursed mouth, and no smiles. He came over to greet her and thanked her solemnly for saving his wife and son. Shen Mengxi politely said that in China, this is called righteousness and courage, that is, when you see someone in need, those who have the ability will definitely lend a helping hand, and you don't have to mind too much.
The earl twitched the corners of his mouth, smiled and signaled Shen Mengxi to take care of himself, and went to entertain other guests.
Among the Earl's guests, Shen Mengxi was pleasantly surprised to find Wilson, an English businessman, who actually appeared in the hunting ranks of the German Earl, Wilson was even more surprised than her, and came over to greet Shen Mengxi politely, Shen Mengxi wore the dress given to her by Madame, stretched out her right hand to Wilson, and the two shook gently.
"I'm sorry, beautiful lady, that you're single again, and I can't kiss the back of your hand." Wilson made a statement of regret.
Shen Mengxi couldn't help laughing.
