Chapter 5: The Black Flower (14)
Content:
This flower is native to Africa and is known locally as the Flower of God, but I think it's more appropriate to call it the Flower of the Devil. Only the shamans of their tribe have the right to pick locally, and we exchanged two 54 pistols for this close observation.
The flower looks like a rose, but the biggest difference is that the flower is black, the leaves and rhizomes are blood-red, and the flower is straight on the top. It was shocking to ask the locals how this flower was grown: the seeds of the flower were stuffed into the soil and the seeds were taken out of the person.
…………
The words written below were tightly covered by Li Yang's two arms, but I still saw these words:
It can bring the dead back to life!
I was stunned for a moment and stretched out my hand to get Li Yang's arm aside, but my hand was pierced but passed as if he didn't exist, yes! These people in front of me are probably already dead!
"Grandpa, why are you asking Jiaming so many questions?"
"It's okay Li Yang! Maybe Grandpa Li just wants to get to know me! Chen Jiaming replied, and there were a lot of small beads of sweat on his forehead, and he wiped them with his hands.
"Haha, Li Yang is a scholar and Jia Ming is so sensible at a young age!" The old man smiled and took a big sip of tea, "Where did we talk just now?" ”
"Grandpa Li, just now Jia Ming said that his father took him to Hong Kong!" Bai Yu looked at the old man with two big eyes and said, this makes me feel quite similar to Xu Qian.
"Oh, yes! It's to Xiangjiang! Look at! When you're older, your memory is useless, or Bai Yu has a good memory, Jia Ming, you go on! The old man took another sip of the tea at hand.
"Hehe-hee..."Bai Yu smiled happily.
"After my father took my mother and me to Hong Kong, we stayed there for more than a year, and then my mother and I followed my father to Macau!"
I don't have the heart to listen to them now, I quickly digest this information in my head, that flower I'm sure is the kind of flower that Xu Qian has been wearing in her hair, this flower can make people come back to life? Why did Chen Jiaming keep giving Xu Qian this kind of flower? Then a terrible thought crossed my mind!
I looked at Bai Yu, who was listening carefully to Chen Jiaming's speech with two big eyes open, there is no doubt that she is Xu Qian's aunt and she is also dead, this is what I saw with my own eyes, but the picture I saw in front of me was too real!
"Later, my father brought me and my mother to this place, and we settled here!" Chen Jiaming had a lot of small beads of sweat coming out of his nose.
"That's it! Then why did your father move here? The old man took another sip of tea, and there was not much tea left in his cup.
Although I listened to them, my mind was still thinking about the flower, I looked at Li Yang's arm from time to time to see if he had moved away, I wanted to see the rest of the content, but he was like he was against me, that is, he covered me tightly!
Maybe it's summer, and it's still quite bright outside. The old man motioned for Chen Jiaming to wait and say, then got up and went into the house to pour tea, at this moment I really hope that Li Yang will give full play to his grandson's filial piety to pour tea for the old man so that I can see what is written in the book! As a result, he fell asleep directly on the table, the key is that the book was still pillowed under his arm! I'm really angry.
The old man sat down again, Bai Yu was eating the little mung bean cake left and looking at Chen Jiaming, Chen Jiaming took a sip of his cup of tea that had become cold, he hesitated for a moment but still opened his mouth: "Because something happened to us where we lived before!" ”
"Oh? What do you mean by that? The old man showed a rare curious expression.
"Uh......" Chen Jiaming looked at the tea in the cup and was speechless for a while, and I looked at him as if he was hesitating about something.
……… No one spoke for a while, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while! Bai Yu also finished eating the mung bean cake and licked her fingers again.
In the end, the old man broke the short silence: "Haha, look at my old guy, I am so old, and I still force my grandson's classmates to say things they don't want to say!" What a shame! ”
"No, no, Grandpa Li doesn't blame you, doesn't blame you, okay! Well, that time my father went on a boat trip again, leaving me and my mother at home! ”
"Oh...?" The old man listened carefully and recorded.
Chen Jiaming wiped the small beads of sweat on his nose and continued: "In the days when my father left, my mother once took me to the noodle shop to buy some noodles, and on the way back, I saw someone selling sugar gourds, which my father bought for me when he was there, and I liked it very much, so I asked my mother for money and ran over, but when I came back with two strings of rock sugar gourds, I accidentally bumped into a man in military uniform, and my rock sugar gourd fell to the ground."
Chen Jiaming was silent for a while, but quickly continued: "Because I soiled his military uniform, he began to scold me in Portuguese after seeing his military uniform soiled, I was desperately apologizing to him, I was surprised that he actually stretched out his hand and waved at me, I was frightened by the man's fierce appearance, but my mother ran over to block his palm, and his palm hit my mother's face so my mother's face was swollen, and the man in military uniform did not let me go." , and began to insult me and my mother in Portuguese again, and my mother held me tightly behind her and desperately apologized to the man! In the end, with the help of a passing man, my mother finally lost a lot of money to solve the matter! ”
I saw Chen Jiaming's two hands on his lap clenched into fists, I had no intention of listening to her, but hearing it suddenly touched my heart, I remembered that I was bullied when I was a child, and my mother was very domineering to theorize the parents of the people who bullied me!
"That was the first time I saw my mother crying, I really wanted to avenge my mother but I was too young at the time, my mother came home and told me not to tell my father, but I couldn't bear my mother to be humiliated for me, after my father's fleet came back, I still secretly told my father about it, that time was the first time I saw my father with such an angry expression on his face, he immediately rushed to the room, my father scared me like that, and finally I saw my father holding my mother tightly, My mother cried, and the three of us hugged each other tightly! Chen Jiaming looked a little excited, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
Chen Jiaming held the water cup tightly in his two small hands and continued: "My father finally said to my mother, 'As a man, I want to protect you well!'" After that my father gave up his crew job and brought my mother and I to this place! ”
The old man sighed and said, "Alas...... It turns out that there is such a thing! The old man suddenly changed his words, "That's Jiaming! Do you hate those foreigners? ”
"Foreigners?"
"The foreigners that Grandpa said should be those Portuguese!" Bai Yu tilted her head and explained to Li Jiaming.
"Nope! I love my mother my grandmother and grandfather, they are my family and I love them! Chen Jiaming immediately replied very excitedly after hearing this.
I saw Bai Yu on the side after listening to Chen Jiaming's statement, her face was full of admiration.
"Haha, yes! We should love our families! The old man said with a smile.
After listening to it for so long, I suddenly felt that the old man was so gossipy, and if I were Chen Jiaming at this time, I guess I would be a little annoyed, and I would always be asked back and forth.
"So what is your father doing now!" After speaking, the old man picked up the teacup with his bruised hand again.
"My father is in business now!" Chen Jiaming put his hand on the top of his eye socket.
"Oh! It turned out to be a businessman! It's not an easy task! The old man took another sip of tea, "Don't you have a sister?" How old is this year? ”
"My sister is 5 years old today!" Speaking of this, Chen Jiaming had a happy expression on his face.
I also listened to their conversation, and heard Chen Jiaming say that his sister is only five years old this year, which means that Xu Qian's mother is only five years old at this time, which makes me really want to meet her.
"That's the age to dare to go to school!" After saying that, the old man got up again and went to pour tea.
I saw Bai Yu watching and listening like that, and as soon as the old man left, she immediately said to Chen Jiaming: "Jiaming, Jiaming!" I want to see your sister! I didn't expect it to be so big, next time you bring it over to play with us, okay! ”
"I'm afraid this won't work in the near future, my sister has had a cold recently, and my mother takes care of her at home and doesn't let her go out!" Chen Jiaming wrinkled his nose.
"Okay!" Bai Yu pouted and said with a disappointed face, her face changed in an instant, and she said with a smile: "How about we go to your house next time we go to play?" ”
"Yes, yes, I'm very welcome to you!" Chen Jiaming said with a smile.
"Hee-hee...... That's it! Bai Yu said happily.
Bai Yu almost didn't snore when she found that Li Yang was asleep on her stomach, so she was about to secretly reach out to wake him up, who knew that at this time, the old man came back after pouring tea, and he was still holding a plate in his hand.
"Come, come, how about tasting this jujube cake?" After speaking, the old man sat down steadily, and it turned out that the brown-red pastry in it was the same as the cake, and it turned out to be jujube cake, and I really wanted to taste it.
"Mmmm, thank you Grandpa Li!" After saying that, the two of them took a piece from the plate and ate it, completely ignoring Li Yang who fell asleep on the notebook on the side, just a little bit worse, the old man suddenly came out so that I couldn't see the book that was understood by Li Yang tightly.
The old man sat down and said in a very helpless tone: "Li Yang, his father! is also in business, running blindly every day and never going home! That kid was still telling me in the letter that it was different now! I'm so! I think it's like him, so it's better to come back and honestly help me take care of the martial arts hall! ”
"Grandpa Li, Grandpa Li, how often does Uncle Li come back?" Bai Yu poked her head out and asked, "I've rarely seen Uncle Li since I was a child!" ”
"Yes!" The old man sighed deeply, "He, he dares to use this place as a vegetable market, he can come if he wants, and he can leave if he wants!" Recently, he told me that he was going to go to that place called Africa! Eh, what a failure for me to be a father! ”
"Wow! I'm so envious! I'm going to see all the other places like Uncle Li did!" Bai Yu cast an envious look.
"Don't learn from Li Yang's father! When it comes to that stinky boy, I won't be angry! The old man patted his thigh and sighed again.
Hearing the old man say this, I suddenly felt that Li Yang and his father were so avant-garde! Most of the people who can do business overseas are rich people! I glanced at Li Yang again, and he was still asleep with his head resting on his arms. The sun outside has already shown signs of setting, I stood next to me and wondered why the old man asked so much about Chen Jiaming's family history, looking at the people who kept walking by on the street, I suddenly remembered! They may not have returned to Macau at this time, I remember that Macau has been occupied by Portugal before its return! After thinking about it like this, I realized that it was no wonder that the old man's face suddenly changed when he heard Portugal, and he kept asking Chen Jiaming, a mixed-race man with Portuguese blood, so many questions!
The old man took a sip of tea and asked, "Jia Ming! How's your mother doing? Are you still comfortable here? ”
"Hmm...... It's not bad, the Chinese dialect is much better than before! I'm willing to talk to people! ”
"Oh, that's it! If your mother doesn't dislike me, a bad old man, you can bring your mother to me next time to talk to me, and I don't have anything to worry about, just practice our Mandarin for your mother! ”
"Well, okay Grandpa Li, I'll tell my mother!"
The old man blew the tea with his mouth and drank a sip before suddenly asking Chen Jiaming: "Jiaming, do you think you are Chinese?" ”
"Well......" Chen Jiaming may not have understood what the old man meant for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he replied: "Grandpa Li, I think so!" Although I look a little different from you, I feel like our hearts are the same, and I love it here! Here are my friends, my family! He looked at Bai Yu and Li Yang, "My father is Chinese, and this is our home, so I think so!" ”
After listening to Chen Jiaming's words, I suddenly admired him from the bottom of my heart, I didn't expect him to be able to say such unusual words at such a young age! I thought about it, I don't seem to have much feeling about patriotism except for raising the national flag and playing the national anthem like the walking dead every day, but now when I hear him say this, I feel a little boiling in my heart, it's really a different era! If a person like Chen Jiaming is put now, he will definitely be an overseas Chinese! And parents will be eager to send their children abroad, thinking that when they come back, they will be superior everywhere, and they will be popular wherever they go!
"Haha, that's good! Garmin, you're so good! The old man's face was full of smiles again, and he couldn't close his mouth!
After the old man's laughter spread throughout the room, at this moment, the surrounding scene moved again, and the scene jumped again! At this time, I suddenly remembered a big thing! I haven't seen what is written in the notebook yet! Watching everything move rapidly, my eyeballs seemed to be unable to keep up with its speed, and the increasing swelling of my eyeballs forced me to close my eyes immediately.
The clear voice entered my ears again, and I thought it was time to end the jump, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that the scene around me stopped, but it was pitch black! I saw all around me green, just like I saw in a night vision device in a movie, and it made me see it very clearly.
I found that I am now in an empty house, it looks like no one has lived in it for a long time, this house looks quite big, littered with garbage on the ground, I walked towards the place of sound, just entered the corner of a room, I saw four people: Bai Yu, Chen Jiaming, Li Yang, and an unknown girl, not very tall, with a small ponytail, but according to her appearance I knew who she was at once, the little girl had a high nose bridge, deep eyes, Her hair is still naturally curly, her eyebrow bones and cheekbones are quite high, obviously she looks like a foreigner like Chen Jiaming, and even I think she looks more like a foreigner than him Chen Jiaming, and she looks like a girl from Xinjiang.
I suddenly felt a little excited, and I got my wish to see what Xu Qian's mother looked like, to be honest, she looked very beautiful. She is now holding Chen Jiaming's arm, I think they are running here for four big nights, and they are probably running to adventure! The four of them are walking next to you, Li Yang is holding a very long flashlight in his hand, he is much taller than before he jumped just now, Chen Jiaming has also grown a lot taller, Bai Yu still looks the same, but her hairstyle has changed, this time she has cut her hair short and kept the student's head, which looks quite suitable for her.
"Li Yang, you go slowly!" Bai Yu tugged at Li Yang's clothes, and her voice trembled a little.
"I'm going to tear your clothes to pieces!" Li Yang took a flashlight and shone it around, "You lost things during the day!" Now it's dark, and they say that they will come back tomorrow, and you have to listen."
After a long time, I thought they were here to take risks, but they were here to find something. If I came to such a place normally, I would probably be scared like Bai Yu, I don't know if I have adapted to this state, and I don't feel any fluctuations in my heart.
"I don't want to drop it either! I didn't find out until I got home! Bai Yu's voice was full of grievances.
"Alas...... I really convinced you, so I ran out without eating! Then Li Yang took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and gave them to Bai Yu, Chen Jiaming and his sister, "Jiaming, Zhi'er, have you two eaten!" ”
"Eat, the two of us have eaten, and I cook early at home!" Chen Jiaming replied very calmly!
"Brother Yang, this candy is delicious!" Chen Jiaming's sister said.
I was stunned for a moment, Chen Jiaming's sister speaks Mandarin very well, without an accent at all, although Chen Jiaming has a lot of Mandarin now, he can still hear a little foreign accent.
"Zhi'er, I want to say thank you to Brother Li Yang!" Chen Jiaming lowered his head and said to his sister, who was much shorter than him.
"Brother Yang, thank you!" Her voice revealed the immaturity of a girl.
"Eh, thank you, I still have it, give" Li Yang took out a few more sugars from his pocket and handed them to Sister Chen Jiaming.
"Thank you, Brother Yang!" Chen Jiaming's sister stopped holding his brother's arm anymore, and directly ate candy happily.
"Bai Yu, learn more from Chen Zhi, you are so sensible at such a young age!" Li Yang looked at Bai Yu with disgust and said.
"Hmph, that's Zhi'er is ignorant and doesn't know your virtue!" Bai Yu tilted her head and slammed back.
"Alright, don't quarrel between you two! We are mainly here to find the bracelet lost by Bai Yu! ”
"Yes, yes, stinky Li Yang don't hurry up and find it! Who told you to bring us during the day! Bai Yu grimaced at Li Yang.
"I ...... I'm really convinced! Li Jiaming continued on the road in front of them, "I heard the old man next door say that a person who died here before seemed to have been stabbed to death by someone else with a knife, and after a good time, the person next to him reported that he could always smell the stench, and finally the body was found!" ”
"Ahh Dead Li Yang, you actually brought us to such a place! Bai Yu grabbed Li Yang's clothes tighter.
"Hey, hey... Hehe" Li Yang looked at Bai Yu who closed his eyes in fright with a cheap look and smiled, "Who told you to have a problem with my virtue just now!" ”
Bai Yu pinched Li Yang's arm hard, and Li Yang, who was in pain, shouted "Grandma!"
"Li Yang, are you telling the truth?" Chen Jiaming asked with a serious expression.
"Haha...... Ha, of course it's fake, I'm making it up! As soon as Li Yang finished speaking, he was pinched by Bai Yu again, "Ouch, ouch!" It hurts, my aunt! It made Xiao Chen Zhi next to him laugh!
Just as they were laughing, I suddenly noticed that something was really moving in the room in front of them!
