Chapter 48: Another Little Man
Once again, I thought back to my past with Pieu and thought of her kindness.
She is kind, she can't bear Sasaki's hopelessness in the bar, and she whimsically becomes her teacher's wife; At the top of Big Wolf Mountain, she let go of the five falcons who kidnapped her.
She is brave, she can challenge Xiaobu, she can also run to the Japanese martial arts hall for Sasaki to reason, and dare to stand up in the face of her father.
She is happy, and in the bar she can mingle in the bar and laugh unbridledly; can also face being kidnapped by the five falcons, still chatting happily with Carl.
She is even more free, for the sake of freedom, she can give up her wealth and nobility, and give up the opportunity to marry Hamid and become a princess in public in the Governor's Palace; For the sake of freedom, she can take the risk of driving a bamboo boat to the middle of the lake to enjoy the moonlight.
She was dismissive of the villa that many longed for, and when she knew it was Hamid's property, she never returned, and disappeared into the middle of nowhere, so that I searched for so long and could not find her.
I sat quietly by the lake, staring blankly at the lake, the cold moonlight reflecting the bleak grass and hazy distant mountains beside me.
At some point, footsteps were heard in the distance, and a familiar figure walked towards the lake with firm steps.
It's Piyu, the girl I haven't been looking for all day.
She came to the shore and gazed at the lake for a long time, then bent down to carry the long bamboo boat, carried it to the lake, and rolled into the water. Then she picked up the horizontal pole, stepped lightly on the bamboo boat, and rowed the horizontal pole left and right towards the center of the lake.
Pi You has a rare goodness, she sang on the bamboo boat, and the song was like a wisp of fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.
In front of the pillow, I made a thousand wishes, and I wanted to break and go to the green hills.
Jinwu is cold, wide and cold, and Dongting has no waves and no waves.
At noon, the sea of stars is watched, and the north star is now in the south sky.
If you want to break it, you don't dare to break it, and wait for three watches a day.
These are exactly the words I read to her when I first played with her on a bamboo boat. Unexpectedly, she actually made it up and sang it.
Pi You sang a few times, and suddenly scolded: "Worm, you bastard!" ”
She scolded again and again, and sang the song again and again.
Suddenly, Piyu threw away the pole and jumped into the lake.
I was startled, jumped up like a spring, and jumped into the lake to swim quickly to the spot where Piyu had fallen into the water.
The floating bamboo boat marked the location of the lake, and I dived into the water with a fierce man.
In the lake at night, there is not a trace of light, the black paint is frightening, and there are many unpredictable sounds in the ears, both distant and imminent, extremely grand and very subtle, sometimes like thousands of horses galloping, sometimes like spring silkworms whimpering.
I didn't care so much, and groped around in the water with my arms outstretched, like a man in the water longing to grasp a straw.
My fingers touched a soft, aquatic weed, and my intuition told me it might be the hem of Piyu's clothes.
With both hands, I pulled a still warm body into my arms, and then quickly floated to the surface, gasping for air.
When I surfaced, I finally saw Piyu's delicate face, her eyes closed and motionless, and I probed her snort with my fingers, and there was no breath left.
I was in a hurry, holding Piyu in my left hand, and swimming desperately towards the surface of the lake with my feet and right hand, and drank several sips of water by myself in the midst of my hecticism.
I brought Piuto ashore, laid her flat on the grass, unbuttoned her clothes, pried her teeth, and pressed her chest quickly and forcefully, and performed manual resuscitation.
Piyu spat a few mouthfuls of water, and her eyes began to roll.
My hanging heart finally let go of it a little.
"It's good that you're not dead."
Piyu looked at me and didn't speak for a long time, I reached out and helped her comb her wet hair stuck to her forehead, and touched her face again. "Why can't you think about it so much, what's not good to play, you have to play in the lake." I smiled at her.
Piyu turned his face sideways, opened his mouth and bit my hand, I was in pain to the marrow, but I didn't cry out.
Pi You suddenly burst into tears, and she plunged into my arms, "Worm, you bastard, you bastard, you are not as good as a bastard, why don't you ignore me, I left the Governor's Mansion and waited for you until dawn, and you didn't come out." I've been waiting for you here for another day and a night, and you still haven't come to me. I can't go back to Hamid's villa, that's hell. I fled from Ottoman to England and from England to Australia, but I still couldn't escape Hamid's hand. I can't go anywhere, and you don't care about me anymore! ”
I held her in my arms and patted her shoulder, my heart was extremely heavy, Pi You usually grinned, and sometimes boasted of being the boss, but her heart was still a little woman, eager to be protected and cared for.
"I know, you are a free bird, you don't want to be a canary trapped in a cage, I know, I was caught by the governor that day, locked in a cell, I ran out of the cell, I came to you as soon as possible, I looked for Sasaki, I found Tomoko, I was looking for you all day today. Before you came here, I ran to the lake to catch you, and thankfully, I finally got it. ”
Piyu hugged my neck, big eyes shining, "Really? ”
"It's not true, I saw you jump into the lake, but it scared me, I jumped into the lake to fish you for my life, fished up, and found that you were not breathing, I want to die, I will give you cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and I plan to give you artificial respiration!"
Just as I was about to say something, Piyu leaned over and kissed me.
That night, we didn't go anywhere, so we just lit a fire by the lake and dried our clothes.
Piyu seemed to have become a person, always holding me and refusing to leave half a step.
I knew that at this time, she was in desperate need of a sense of security.
Piyu said to me, "Worm, Hamid knows I'm here, and I can't stay any longer in Australia, so I'm going to run away again." Flee to a place where he can't find me. ”
"Where do you want to flee to?"
Piyu thought for a moment, "I heard that there is another continent south of Australia, called Antarctica, why don't you go to Antarctica with me." ”
I was startled, Piyu really dared to think, "Pull it down, Antarctica is the worst place on the whole earth, half a year of day, half a year of night, even in summer, the temperature will be more than 20 degrees below zero, you want to go there, Hamid can't find you, I guess the earthlings can't find you." ”
"That's great, let's go to Antarctica, I heard that there are seals there, you roast me the meat of the seals every day, and let's raise a few more penguins to play." ”
I couldn't laugh or cry, I really didn't know what Pi You thought, I just watched Pi You laugh there, Pi You sighed, "Bug, am I whimsical." ”
I shook my head, "Why did you run away, Piyu?" What is Hamid, Australia is not Hamid's Australia, I don't have to worry, with me, no one can take you away. Don't forget that I'm a god bullet or your little brother. As he spoke, he pulled out his slingshot and shot a marble into the middle of the lake.
I stood up, "I thought about it, I'll take you back to the town, didn't you say that you would live in the town, and I promised you to take you to hunt in the wasteland, when the time comes, we will hunt many, many prey, and I will make you a barbecue to eat." If anyone comes to trouble you, I will let him come back. ”
Pi You looked at me with a smile, "Worm, do you know, you don't look like a little brother at all, but like a big hero now." ”
I pulled up Pi You, "Haha, I'm a big hero, the king of the wasteland, let's go, let's go back to the town now, in the future, you and I will be the male and female thieves in the wasteland," and suddenly felt that the name of "male and female thief" was not very appropriate, it seems that if there is a chance in the future, I will have to ask Carl to help come up with a high-end and high-grade name.
Leaving the lakeside and passing by the Crown Hotel, the big golden tooth was boxing in the garden in front of the hotel, and when he saw me from a distance, the big golden tooth ran over with a cigarette, and he greeted him with a charming smile, "Isn't this Mr. Shen?" ”
I was full of disgust for this chameleon and said coldly, "What do you want to do?" Did I step on your ground, and you were going to blast me away again. ”
The big gold tooth waved his hand again and again, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." I didn't know gold and jade that day, but I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be a gourmet person, so he was disrespectful and disrespectful. ”
I didn't speak, wondering what bad the Golden Tooth had in mind.
The big golden tooth snorted, "No, it's better to meet by chance, since we met early in the morning, can Mr. Shen go to the hotel for a cup of tea?" ”
"Stop, I don't have that leisure, if there's anything, just say it!"
"Mr. Shen is really happy, let's put it bluntly, Mr. Shen's barbecue skills are really a must in Australia, I don't have to say, I wonder if Mr. Shen can come to our hotel to make food, as for the salary is negotiable, it will definitely satisfy you." The big gold tooth patted his chest in guarantee.
I smiled, "I'm sorry, not interested." ”
As he spoke, he picked up Pi You and turned to leave, leaving the big gold tooth standing there, blowing his beard and glaring vigorously.
As soon as he walked out into the street, Tomoko and Xiaobu came up to him.
When they saw me and Piyou, they were overjoyed and ran to Piyou.
Tomoko said angrily: "Piyu, where have you been in the past two days, you have killed everyone in a hurry." ”
Xiaobu looked at Pi You, "Yes, we looked for you all night, and Tomoko said that you might have run to the shore of Lake Glo, so you took me with you to look for it, what are you doing there?" I also had a wild man attack there the other day. After saying that, he glared at me fiercely.
"Come back with us!" Tomoko pulls up Piyu.
Piyu shook his head, "Thank you for your concern, I thought about it, I'm going back to town with the bugs." ”
Xiaobu's face was cloudy, he looked at me, and said to Piyou: "That's okay, my dad has a villa in the town, and he doesn't usually use it much, let me tell my dad that you can live there when you come to the town." ”
Pi You looked at Xiaobu, "Xiaobu, thank you, I have a place to live, you don't have to bother." After saying that, Piyu glanced at me.
Xiaobu said angrily: "Piyou, if you don't live with me, where else can you live?" He pointed at me and said loudly, "Do you want to live in the bugs' kennels?" ”
I couldn't help but be furious, reached out and grabbed Xiaobu's fingers, and pulled them in reverse, Xiaobu squatted on the ground with a "whoop", and then felt the pain in front of Pi You and Zhizi, two classmates, and lost my identity, gritted my teeth and endured there, but there was already sweat on my head, "Xiaobu, I'm already very polite to you, if you are so presumptuous, I will break all your fingers." ”
Piyu pushed my hand away, "Bug, you don't want this. She pulled up Xiaobu, "Xiaobu, since I came to Australia, you have been taking care of me, and sometimes bets will be tolerated, these are clear in my heart, I just want to live a simple life now, please respect me, okay?" Otherwise, I'll have to run away again. ”
The corners of Xiaobu's mouth squirmed, but he couldn't say a word anymore.
A sharp whistle sounded, and a squad of policemen came running with loaded guns and hula, and the black muzzles were pointed at us. Sheriff Redden of the Bryden Police Station walked slowly with a pipe in his mouth, followed by a big gold tooth.
Sergeant Raidon glanced me up and down, "Someone escaped from the Governor's Mansion the night before and kidnapped a monkey in the Governor's captivity. The Governor and Mayor John are ordering a bounty on the city's wanted people, so you must be you? ”
I found that I was still careless, and I didn't fully consider the consequences of escaping from the Governor's Palace, in fact, it wasn't that I didn't think of it, but I was just bent on finding Piyu, and I didn't care about it at all.
Now that Piyu has found it, it can be regarded as reassuring.
I said to Tomoko, "Tomoko, help me get Piyu to the town." I reported to the Governor's Palace. ”
Pi You was anxious: "Worms, they're catching you." ”
I didn't want Pi You to be anxious about me, so I said nonchalantly: "Nonsense, the governor of the people kindly invited me to go, don't think about it, you go to the town and wait for me first, I will go back soon." ”
Big Gold Tooth walked over from behind Sheriff Raidon with a smile, "Cut, I don't know how to lift, you don't have a shame on your face." I found out that you are really a character, your mouth is hard enough, and being in prison can also make you a guest, I think you are dreaming! Ha ha. ”
I glanced at the big gold tooth, "You chameleon is really annoying. ”
The police handcuffed me and did not return to the police station, but escorted me to the Governor's Palace.
Looking at this familiar Governor's Palace, I couldn't help but smile bitterly, this place that everyone in Australia admires, I entered the palace for the second time in a blink of an eye, but this second time I was handcuffed and escorted in, neither a helper nor a guest.
Sergeant Raidon explained the situation to the guards in front of the door, "Ladies and gentlemen, I am Sergeant Raidon of the Bryden Police Station, and I was ordered to arrest the fugitives from the Governor's Palace. ”
The seventh-rank officer in front of the prime minister's door, Lei Deng behaved very humbly in front of these guards, and after finishing speaking, he handed over a pack of cigars casually.
The guard picked up the cigar and tossed it up, and finally there was a smile on his face, "Sheriff Raidon, the brothers are guarding the door here every day, standing with a sore back and legs, and they have to run in to report to you, such a little thing will send us away?" ”
Sergeant Raidon smiled with a smile on his face: "Then how can it be, when the time comes, the Governor's reward will come down, and you brothers will be indispensable." ”
The guard said nonchalantly, "All right, I'll go in and wait here." After saying that, he ran into the governor's palace.
After a while, several guards ran out and said to Sheriff Raidon, "The Governor said, you have done a good job in this matter, and you can hand this man over to us and bring him in." With that, he escorted me into the Governor's Palace.
The Governor and his wife were feeding the housekeeper dog in the back garden, with Mayor John and his wife by their side.
As the guards escorted me in, the governor pinched a few bones and threw them at the dog, who jumped up and took them to his mouth, and then found a corner and gnawed them. He didn't raise his eyes, and asked lightly, "Did you let Xiaoman go?" ”
"Xiaoman is an Aboriginal Australian, and he shouldn't be kept here as an animal." I replied calmly.
The Governor looked at me with a gloomy face. Mayor John looked at me with a smile and said, "This is the best joke I've ever heard, and an Australian monkey can be said to be a man." Are Australian kangaroos also human? ”
"Of course the kangaroo is not human, but Xiao Man is, like every one of us, he walks on two legs, has thoughts and emotions."
Mrs. John still spoke harshly, "Kangaroos also walk on two legs, they also have feelings, why aren't they human?" According to your logic, those chickens, ducks and geese are also people? ”
I was indignant, "Tough arguments, chickens and ducks are birds, covered with feathers, how can they be people." ”
John said with a smile: "Yo, don't you say it, we have forgotten, I thought these chickens and ducks were wearing down jackets." ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
The Governor also smiled leisurely, "Where did you hide Xiaoman?" ”
"Let him go, he should return to his own kind."
A layer of anger appeared on the governor's face, and Mayor John looked me up and down, "Second brother, don't be angry, you ran away with a little man, isn't this another little man?" ”
