The soldier reported that a man named Carl had come to Wood, and my heart almost jumped out of my throat.

Which one is Carl playing? Sooner or later, I'll have to scare this kid to death.

What's the trouble with him? Did he come to the barracks on his own, or did he bring those craftsmen with him? Did he find out that the scientists didn't know what science was, but were smugglers, so he took the confused craftsmen to the barracks?

When I think about it, the more I think about it, the more likely it is. If that's the case, then I'm really disappointed by my father and Uncle Du, and I'll die when the time comes.

I know very well that in the eyes of the Australian Governor and Australians, Australia is a white Australia, and those yellow and black people are not welcomed.

The Chinese endure hardships and stand hard work, but they also rob many white laborers of their jobs, and they do not blame the capitalists, but instead sprinkle their grievances on the heads of Chinese laborers.

Countless Chinese laborers did the most mining, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work in the worst environment, and at the same time enduring the oppression of those white people, and I don't know how many people died of illness and exhaustion, or were found to die.

Those mine owners don't care about the life and death of these Chinese workers, it doesn't matter to the Australian government at all, if anyone stands up to judge and fight a lawsuit, it is these Chinese workers who will eventually lose the lawsuit.

The most fatal is smuggling, and Australians often kill these smugglers when they are caught.

I complained to my father that he shouldn't have allowed these craftsmen to be smuggled over, but he sighed and said that he might still be alive if he ran over here.

I was silent, imagining again and again, what my motherland is like, and people really can't even live?

These craftsmen were smuggled to Australia in the hope of relying on their craftsmanship to make ends meet, which was a little hope for them to survive.

Then, with my own hands, I blew out their lamps of hope, leaving only a wisp of green smoke to accompany their souls to heaven, just as I decided to have Carl escort them to the town.

I stumbled after Wood and ran out, narrowly stumbling down on the way, but thankfully the White helped me up.

At this time, the sun rose in the east, and the morning light gradually dispelled the darkness, but I did not feel the light at all.

In the distance, I saw Carl sitting on a rock, with his legs crossed and a stick of grass in his mouth.

Wood came up to Carl, "Carl, where have you been?" ”

Carl saw Wood, and he saw me. Still looking like a hanger, he grinned, "Mr. Wood, I'm tired to death." I want a few cars, and if I don't have them, I can ask for a few camels, by the way, a few dozen catties of jerky, and if I have some milk and bread. ”

I want to jump over and beat this guy to death, do you think you're God? What do you want?

But at this moment, a thousand words can only be held in the heart.

At this time, Carl's mother and the Sheriff Raidon also arrived, apparently someone had informed them.

When Madame saw Carl, she was very excited, "Carl, you are finally back, where did you run away, Mom is almost worried about you to death." ”

In the face of his mother, Carl did not grin at Wood, and said with a cold face: "You don't care where I go." He turned to Wood and said, "Mr. Wood, you say, do you want to give these things or not?" ”

Mrs. Wen Yan: "Carl, can you go home with your mother?" ”

"If you don't go, the barracks will be my home!" Carl didn't even think about refusing.

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing why. I think Mr. Wood would have been moved to death if he heard the phrase "The barracks is my home."

Because no one in the world regards the mercenary battalion as their home, especially these mercenaries.

Madame was about to speak, but Wood sighed and waved his hand to tell the soldier beside him, "Prepare what Carl needs to go." ”

Then he whispered to Madame: "Madam, now is not the time to talk about this, wait for the matter to pass, and then talk slowly." ”

Madame finally nodded helplessly in agreement.

Wood said to Carl, "Carl, I'll send you some more!" ”

Karl thought for a moment, "It's okay, there are too many of these things, I can't move them alone, you can arrange a few more soldiers for me." I want them. As he spoke, he pointed at me, and then at the big white and a few of them.

Wood agreed, and the big white guy was very good at getting things done, and he also noticed that Carl was unusual, so he called a few GIs to move things. Wood quietly grabbed me, "Billy, you keep an eye on Carl. ”

I was expecting time to ask Carl and immediately nodded in agreement. Wood hesitated, "If it's possible, try to persuade Carl to go home." ”

"Are you afraid that this guy will cause you trouble again?"

Wood smiled slightly, "Yes! It's a headache. ”

Dabai brought a lot of things, milk, biscuits, bread, grilled sausages, and jerky, and a few people brought a few camels, and a carriage, and everyone loaded things onto the wagon.

Carl sat down in the car and smiled at Wood, "Thanks! Don't follow. After finishing the work, we went back to the barracks together. Then he commanded to go.

The carriage jolted on the stone road, shaking the human body upside down.

Da Bai approached Carl with a flattering look, "Boss, what other errands, brother is waiting for your orders." ”

Carl looked at the big white people, "Are these people reliable?" ”

The big white chest slapped loudly, "Reliable, absolutely loyal, willing to go to the soup for the eldest brother, and stick a knife in both ribs." ”

Karl nodded, "That's good, we're on a special mission now, and we have to keep our mouths tight, and no one can say half a word." ”

After saying that, Carl came up to me with a smile on his face, "Brother! ”

This shout frightened the Dabai people, they never expected that the boss in their mouth would be so well-behaved in front of me.

I asked angrily, "What about people?" ”

Karl sighed: "Hey, people haven't eaten for a few days, they can't walk, I will take them to the town again, and I will have to die a few on the way." ”

I know those craftsmen are okay, and I feel a little relieved.

Karl continued: "So, I put them in a hidden place and ran out to find something to eat. So I ran back to the barracks, and then I thought that since I had got food, I might as well find another car and a few camels, and send them directly, which would save so much effort. ”

I wanted to cry without tears, knowing that Karl was out of tune, but I never thought it would be out of tune. I ran to the barracks to get food, and I even borrowed a car, so I sent the whole world to call people to me.

At this point, there is nothing I can do. But looking at the big white people, it was still not a good feeling in their hearts, and they definitely couldn't let these soldiers see those craftsmen, so they said to Carl: "Then let the big white go back!" ”

Carl nodded, "Understand, keep it a secret." "I wanted to slap him in the mouth, and that's when I remembered to keep it a secret.

The crowd didn't know why, so I said to Dabai, "You guys can get off here." Carl and I went on a mission alone. ”

Da Bai shook his head again and again, "Then how can we do it, we must ensure the safety of the boss and the boss." We are glorious Australian mercenaries, but also the boss and your loyal guards, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers ahead, we can only continue to move forward......"

I waved my hand to the spokesman, "It's not as serious as you said, this mission is very special, you can't participate, and you don't have to worry about the safety of me and Carl." Get out of the car. ”

Dabai and the others were reluctant, but seeing that Karl didn't speak, he still stopped, and watched us go away, and then these soldiers turned around and returned.

After that, Karl drove me to a valley with a carriage, and we each carried a box of food, and followed a path to a few boulders, and Karl shouted, "Come out, all of you." ”

Soon, those craftsmen came out one after another.

Last night, I only saw them in the moonlight, and now I really see these people, my Chinese compatriots.

One by one, they were dressed in rags, some with patches on their clothes, and some with their flesh exposed. The hair grows in a mess, as if it hasn't been cut in decades.

They were all thin, as if they were only skinned with a whole skeleton of bones, and their eyes were like a mountain stream flowing through a flood, muddy, without a trace of agility.

The old man Shi at the head was full of mulberry, his smoky face was furrowed, the back of his hand was blue and purple, and he was clutching a dull and colorless and smooth crutch.

He slowly walked up to me and recognized me, "Child, how is Mr. Du?" ”

I felt a warm current in my heart, and I felt a little kind of affection for these people, who themselves did not know where to go, but still missed their companions.

"I took him for surgery and he was fine and had already returned to town early. I'm here to pick you up. After saying that, he put the food on the ground, "This is beef jerky and biscuits, you can eat some first." ”

When it comes to food, there is a sparkle in the eyes of these people, and they are all happy.

A sturdy man ran over, tore open the package, poured out all the jerky and biscuits inside, tasted a small bite of each, and then picked up a pack of biscuits and handed it to Shi Laobai, "Uncle, this thing is soft, you eat it first." ”

I thought that this man was extremely hungry, completely disregarding others, and wanted to fill his stomach by himself, but I didn't expect that this man was looking for suitable food for the old Uncle Shi.

Shi Laobai took it, took a bite and said, "Brothers, children, let's eat, I'm going to hurry after eating." ”

The people opened the food, and the young man ate quickly, apparently hungry. The older people sat down and ate quietly, with a calm face.

I took a bottle of wine and handed it over, "Uncle Shi, you're too dry to eat cookies, drink some bar." ”

Shi Laobai took the wine bottle, "Is this wine?" That's nice. After saying that, he took a mouthful of it, maybe it was the wine that irritated his mouth, making him frown, wanting to spit it out, but he was reluctant, so he swallowed hard, and then coughed violently.

Uncle Shi smiled and shook his head, "This wine tastes so strange, it smells of wine, but it is still different from the wine we have over there." After speaking, he handed the wine bottle to an old man nearby, "Brother, you can taste it too." ”

The man took the bottle and took a sip, tasting it carefully.

Karl pulled me aside, "Brother, are they Chinese?" ”

I was shocked, and I patronized and talked to Uncle Shi, completely forgetting that there was a Carl around. My mind is racing, and now that he knows who these people are, what should I do?

This unobtrusive creature may one day be gone, and the lives of these craftsmen are in danger, and the best thing to do is to shut him up forever.

But I know clearly in my heart that he is very innocent, innocent and cute, and he has a natural affinity for me, screaming one brother at a time, not to mention that he has done so many things for me, and now let me kill it like a kangaroo, but my heart is very unbearable. But if I don't kill him, these craftsmen will most likely suffer a catastrophe, and my family will be affected by the incident.

After weighing the pros and cons, I finally made up my mind to sacrifice Carl to preserve these craftsmen.

I muttered, "Ah, yes, Carl, you go and bring another box of food, I don't think they have enough to eat." ”

Karl answered, turned and walked away.

With a sparkle in my eyes, I quietly drew my dagger, ready to follow it and strike a blow.

Here an old withered hand grabbed my wrist, and Uncle Shi looked at me and shook his head, "He's a good boy!" ”

Although the eyes of this weather-hardened old man were cloudy, his heart was clear.

I whispered, "Uncle Shi, if you don't kill him, we will all be in danger." ”

The old man still shook his head and said: "I haven't studied culture, but I know the word kindness, this child is kind to us, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by a spring." It's too late for us to repay our kindness, how can we take revenge. Anyway, if he really brings us danger, we will admit it. ”

I looked at Uncle Shi, and the tense muscles of my whole body gradually relaxed.

Much later, I look back on this time and have to thank this old man, who, with his tolerance and kindness in humanity, pulled me back from the edge of the abyss of evil.

I'm ashamed to say that from last night to today, I've twice tried to kill Carl, but this big boy didn't know it. He ran over with another box of food, and Uncle Shi pulled Carl affectionately: "Child, you are very good, thank you for taking care of us." As he spoke, he groped for an object from his bosom and put it in Carl's hand: "This is the object I have always carried with me, it was left to me by my grandfather, so I will give it to you." ”

A man beside him exclaimed: "Uncle, this jade jade Ruyi is your family heirloom!" ”

The old man smiled bitterly, "What kind of heirloom, passed around, the more it spreads, the poorer it becomes, maybe one day, I, the old man, stretch out his legs, and I can't let this thing follow me to the ground." ”

Carl didn't know Chinese, but he also knew that it was a very rare object, and when he looked closely, it was a jade jade pendant. The jade is emerald and delicately carved.

The man came over and admired, "This thing, Uncle Shi is rare, his ancestors are Taicang people, the Shi family has been cultivating for generations, but there is a child who loves carving, the milk name is called the jade in the stone, this jade in the stone is extremely talented in carving, even if it is a brick tile can also carve a lifelike image, and then the jade in the stone went to work in a large family, specializing in brick carving, but one day it happened that one day the carving master Lu Zigang was in the picture, that Lu Zigang is known as the existence of the first person in the jade carving, he saw the jade in the stone, and he loved to accept it as a closed disciple, The carving of a body was passed on to the jade in the stone, and he also carved this jade Ruyi himself. Since then, this piece of jade has become an heirloom of the Shi family and has been passed down from generation to generation. ”

I translated it to Carl and said, "This is Uncle Shi's family heirloom, whose name is Jade Jade Ruyi, which has been passed down from generation to generation from his grandfather's grandfather, and is now given to you." Then he told the story of this jade ruyi to Kale.

Carl held the jade Ruyi, his eyes were full of tears, he hugged Uncle Shi and cried, "Uncle Shi, you are so good to me, give me such a valuable thing, I was moved to death, you will be my grandfather in the future, when I become a grandfather, I will pass this jade Ruyi to my grandson, from generation to generation." After saying that, he carefully put it on his neck.

I couldn't laugh or cry, what Carl said was this thing that has been passed down from generation to generation.

After everyone had eaten and got into the car, Carl got into the driver's seat and drove towards the town.

Karl suddenly said to me, "Brother, we got something wrong. We didn't save a bunch of scientists......"

I knew Carl had come to his senses, and I couldn't help but blush a little.

Carr continued: "We saved a bunch of Chinese artists! ”

I was drinking a bottle of drink and squirting it all out.

Carl looked at me strangely, "Brother, what's wrong with you?" ”

I waved my hand, "It's okay, you go on." ”

"I think we're doing the right thing, artists are sometimes more valuable than scientists, art is priceless, artists create works of art that are the spiritual wealth of mankind, I once knew a painter in Paris, called Picasso, and I also admired one of his paintings, called Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, there are five young girls, sitting or standing, scratching their heads, and in front of them is a small square stool with several bunches of grapes. The figures painted by Lao Bi are completely distorted and deformed, making them difficult to identify without careful consideration. But if you are careful, you will find that although the picture presents a single flatness, there is no sense of three-dimensional perspective, but all the backgrounds and figures are completed through color, the use of color is exaggerated and grotesque, the contrast is prominent and restrained, giving people a strong visual impact, some people once said that this is the first cubist painting. I don't think so. It's not that he doesn't paint well, the painting is still a painting after all, that kind of three-dimensional reality is our optical illusion, but Uncle Shi's jade carving is a real three-dimensional work, not only exquisite carving, but also very imaginative and expressive. ”

I don't understand Carl, I don't have much interest in art.

Karl was still gushing: "Oriental art is subtle, this jade pendant is called Ruyi, presumably there must be a deeper meaning." ”

I nodded: "This is true, Ruyi is shaped like Lingzhi, which is a symbol of satisfaction in the hearts of Chinese." ”

Carl was greatly moved: "As you wish, Uncle Shi gave me such a good work of art, not you, which means that I am his favorite grandson!" ”
