Since my father said that the history of Australia should be rewritten, it is by no means groundless, he has always been serious, and he has never spoken, which can be said to be diametrically opposed to his character, I am full of rebellion in my bones, probably inherited Anne's genes!

Anne became interested, "Darling, what do you say?" ”

The father took the whistle and said, "You see, the text engraved on this whistle is not the script of the locals, but the ancient Chinese script, which we call seals." It's a person's name engraved on it. ”

He changed his words and said: "The world is only the first discovery of Australia by Europeans, and in 1606 A.D., the ship of the Spanish navigator Torres sailed through the strait between Australia and the island of New Guinea; In the same year, the Dutchman William Janes's Duiggen finally docked in Australia and called the place New Holland. ”

Anne listened and nodded: "That's right, but later in 1770, the British navigator Cook discovered the east coast of Australia, named it New South Wales, and declared the land to belong to Britain. This is what I learned when I was a student in the UK. It's just that the school is there, and the British still regard it as a place of exile for prisoners. Billy knew what happened next. ”

I replied, "Yes, when I was in school, my teacher told me that on January 18, 1788, the First Fleet of 1,530 men in a fleet of six ships led by Captain Philip arrived at Botany Bay with more than 700 prisoners, and on January 26 of that year, they were the first British colony in Australia, which later grew in population and became the largest city in Australia, Sydney, and the name was given in honor of Sydney, the British Home Secretary at the time. Later, January 26 became Australia's National Day. What's the matter, father, every Australian knows all this history. Is there something wrong? ”

My father smiled and said, "Yes, I have lived in Australia for eight years, and I know these things." But these words engraved on this small whistle are obviously Chinese seal characters, how can it appear in the hands of the Wick people in Australia? Just now, Little Mushroom said that this whistle is a treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation in their clan. ”

Anne asked, "Are you saying that long before the Spaniards and Dutch, there were Chinese who came to mainland Australia?" ”

The father shook his head: "We can't conclude that it is Chinese, because although the art of seal carving originated in China, there are people in Japan, Goryeo, South Vietnam, and even Southeast Asia who know seal carving." ”

He asked Little Mushroom, "Little Mushroom, have you ever heard of the origin of this whistle from your fellow clansmen before?"

Little Mushroom said: "Of course, Old Wick often told his people, as early as hundreds of years ago, Wick was often bullied by other tribes because of their weakness, and finally was hidden near the seashore in the north of Australia to live, although the area is near the sea, but the seashore is a cliff, the tribe has no way to make a living from the sea, in despair, an angel came across the sea, he taught our people to make bows and arrows, drill wood for fire, boil the sea for salt, roast cooked food, and when we left, he gave us this whistle, Blowing this whistle will drive nearby dragons away. ”

"Dad, the Wick clan uses snakes as totems, and the dragon that Little Mushroom said is a snake. Dad, what are those seal characters written? I added.

Father picked up the whistle again, and said: "These four words are 'Hongdu Dayuan', presumably a person named Dayuan from Hongdu, Yuzhang Ancient County, Hongdu Xinfu, this is Tang Wangbo's "Tengwang Pavilion Preface" in the poem, Hongdu is talking about today's Nanchang, could it be that hundreds of years ago, a Jiangxi old watch called Dayuan landed in Australia and gave this whistle to the Wick people? Father muttered.

"Dad, you have read so many books, do you know that there is a person named Wang Dayuan in history?"

My father laughed, "The Chinese history books are as vast as a sea of smoke, even if I read all the 24 histories, I am afraid I will not know Wang Dayuan and his person, but this public can go to the rivers and lakes hundreds of years ago, and his footprints can go to Australia, which is really admirable." I didn't know who he was, but I was ashamed. If I can meet Mr. Kang Fuzi, Liang Rengong, or Mr. Zhang, I can ask them for advice. ”

Thus the subject of this Mr. Hongdu Dayuan came to an end, and my father told me some more things, and let me return to the vegetable garden.

By the time we got to the vegetable garden, it was almost night.

I quietly went up the hill, and in all directions, I thought that Piyu must be asleep, but when I came to the courtyard, I saw Piyu sitting on a swing, quietly admiring the moonlight.

I said hello to her, but Piyu didn't speak, I noticed something strange about Piyou, and hurriedly said, "Piyou, what's wrong with you?" When he looked closer, he was startled, and Piyu burst into tears.

I was a little panicked, and hurriedly grabbed Pi You's hand and said, "Pi You, is there something uncomfortable?" She shook her head vigorously.

"Are you scared?" Piyu still shook his head.

"Oh, you're talking, don't play dumb riddles, can't you?" I said anxiously.

Pi You cried out, "Worm, you bullied me, you scolded me, and now you still murder me!" After speaking, tears flowed like an ocean.

I really didn't expect that this nervous girl would become sentimental tonight, and hurriedly grabbed her hand and said, "Oh, what should I do, how dare I bully you, you are my boss and the president of our family, my father sold me to you two days ago, and I can't redeem myself for the rest of my life." Besides, you old man dares to go to the Hokkaido martial arts hall single-handedly to kick the hall, you can cross the river with a reed, the rivers and lakes do not have you, but your legends are everywhere. Everyone talks about your old man, and they all pick up a big finger, and Pi You's hero is so powerful. "I teased Piyu.

In normal times, Piyou would soon be happy, but tonight was different, she cried even more fiercely. The voice came far away, and those who didn't know thought I was really bullying Piyu.

I was so anxious that I scratched my ears and cheeks, and I shook again and again, "Piyou, we have something to say, I did something wrong, I will change, please don't cry, okay?" In the end, there was really no way, so he took Pi You into his arms and made her cry enough.

People often say that girls can vent their emotions when they cry, and if this is the case, Pi You finally stopped crying soon, and I said softly: "Pi You, don't cry, I just said the wrong thing because I was in a hurry, don't mind, I will never scold you, you see the first time we met, I said to snatch you back as a Buddha offering." Now it's not just me who is offering you as a Buddha, I think my father and Anne are about to offer you as a Buddha. ”

Pi You's eyes fluttered with tears, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true. If I lie to you, you'll dig out my heart. ”

Piyu finally laughed, "I don't want your heart, if you lie to me, I will also have a longer nose like Pinocchio." ”

Seeing that Pi You's mood had improved, I said repeatedly, "Okay, I'm going to lie to you and become that wooden man." He said to Piyu in his arms, "It's cold on the swing, go back to the hut and sleep!" ”

Pi You was about to get up, but he screamed again, "Worm, I've been sitting for too long, and my legs are numb." ”

"Then I'll help you with the thrashing?"

"No, you can carry me back to the house!"

I thought to myself, it seems that Pi You has been sitting outside for a long time, and she should be angry, how can a man open his mouth to murder a girl, besides, Pi You ran to Australia alone, although she has an uncle of the same race, but fell into the eyes of money, she must be very lonely, when she arrives in the town and lives in this hut, she is even more lonely, I can't murder her anymore.

Thinking of this, I crouched down and said, "Come up!" ”

Piyu fell on top of me, and I put my hands behind her legs and carried her back to the cabin and on the mattress. Just as he was about to get up and go back, Pi You said softly: "Worm, you can also sleep in the house, I'm a little scared!" Let's chat. ”

I just made a makeshift bed and lay down like I did last night.

Pi You pillowed his arm and looked at me sideways: "Worm, why are you lying to me with Little Mushroom." ”

I shook my head, "Piyu, I didn't lie to you, that whistle of Little Mushroom can't be blown." So I went to Wollongong that day to meet the little mushroom in detail, although I talked about the life of the little mushroom, but about the snake repellent, I didn't talk about it.

Piyou's eyes widened, "Bug, are you telling the truth?" ”

"Of course it's true, I said I wouldn't lie to you."

Piyu leaned over, "Let me see if your nose is getting longer!" "She's finally back to her no-nonsense nature.

I felt like I was angry, and I lay on the bed and said to Piyou: "Piyou, I have lived in Australia since I was a child, and many animals here are not found on other continents, and people are known as kangaroos and thylacines, but in fact, in the wilderness and the seashore, there are many little-known animals, and mixed with these animals are the aborigines of Australia, who live in Australia and have many different civilizations, which we outsiders cannot understand." You see, the little mushroom is a Wick clan, she can use a whistle to drive snakes, I met a Gurui tribe in the Governor's Palace, those people in the Governor's Mansion called him Xiaoman, this Xiaoman also has a magical ability, the big wolf dog that usually calls when he sees people, and when he sees Xiaoman, he actually becomes like a cat, you say it's strange. Therefore, today I really don't lie to you, if you blow the whistle to drive the snake here, I am afraid that the people on the mountain and down the mountain, including the people nearby, will be buried in the belly of the snake. That's why today is in a hurry, so I ......"

"Just scolded me?" I nodded, "Sort of!" ”

Pi You snorted and said to himself, "If you blow a whistle, it would be fun to drive the snake away!" ”

I shouted, "I'll listen to you for anything else, don't hit that whistle." ”

"I know, I just said it casually, you still take it seriously."

After a while, Pi You said, "Worm, is Uncle Shen going back to China?" ”

I wondered, "You're so good, when I sent the little mushroom back, he and Anne had already started to pack their bags." ”

"So what do we do?"

"My father told us to stay in Australia, and he went back to China first."

"That's how it should be! Anne is going with you, right? ”

I nodded silently, in fact, I was a little reluctant to think that they were separated from me. I always went out to wander around, but the two of them never left, and whenever I came back scarred, I would always see my tall and mighty father and the serene and gentle Anne, and I was relieved to have them.

Pi You said faintly: "I really envy Uncle Shen and Anne, they will always be together." After saying that, she said to me, "Worm, we will always be together and never separate, okay?" ”

I stared intently at Piyu as she slipped into my arms like a kitten.

I gradually felt Piyu's attachment to me, is this love?

I don't know!

The next day, my father and Anne came to the vegetable garden and told the craftsmen about returning to China, and the craftsmen asked my father to send letters to their families, and my father agreed one by one. Finally, he said to us: "In the future, Pi You will be in charge of the house, don't go out to cause trouble, and take care of the little mushrooms." I will write to you when I return to China. After that, he emphasized Pi You and said: "Child, Uncle Shen, like Anne, likes you very much. It's best for you to run this mine, and only you can turn the stones into money. If it weren't for state affairs, I'd rather be a farmer here. But ......" At this point, my father was gone.

Pi You smiled and said to his father: "Uncle Shen, don't worry, you take all the money away first, and if you need it later, you tell me and the worm, and we will send the money to you." ”

With a relieved smile on his face, the father just said, "Good boy." ”

Anne pulled me to my side, and after another remonstrance, she said to me, "Billy, Mr. Wood may come to you, he has something to worry about Jenny. Jenny is my sister and Wood's lover, but unfortunately they were not together because of her mother's obstruction, and suddenly one day Jenny disappeared, and Wood ran almost all over the world to find her, and I know this. He has always wanted to see Jenny again, last time in order to save me, you lied to Wood, this is not good, God will not forgive those who are not pure in heart, in fact, I also want to go back to England, not to go home, but to find Jenny, if I can't come back with your father for a while, you can accompany Wood to England to find it! ”

I knew about it for a long time, but I couldn't imagine what Anne's house, my grandmother's house, was like.

"Annie, don't you really know where Jenny is?"

Anne shook her head: "Your grandmother Fishers has two daughters, Jenny and Jenny, Jenny is naturally beautiful, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is gorgeous, and she has appeared in the "Guardian" as a model, and is admired by many men, Fishers wants to find her a British nobleman, and even dreams of making her a princess. Everyone thinks Jenny will marry a wealthy family in the British Empire, but Jenny falls in love with a destitute and broken aristocratic talent. ”

"Mr. Wood?"

Anne nodded, "For this reason, Fischer lost her temper with Jenny and did not allow her to see Wood, until one day, Jenny disappeared from everyone's eyes. As a younger sister, I have always been thinking about Jenny, and I have asked Fischer over and over again, where has Jenny gone? In the end, the answer was that she ran away from home. ”

"Since then, I have had the same nightmare every night at home, dreaming that Jenny was covered in blood and her hair was disheveled, and she kept telling me to run...... I ran away ......, and in the end, I was a little broken. And Fischer began to look for me again for the children of a wealthy nobleman, and despite my growing spirits, I finally made up my mind to run away from home. ”

"Fortunately, I met your father when I was living on the streets, and he selflessly helped me, and later I learned that he was a naval officer from a large eastern country, so I boarded a cruise ship to China. I was actually very worried that I could not find your father, but luckily I met a gentleman surnamed Gu on the cruise, he was erudite and humorous, and he was about to return from a trip to Europe, so I went with him. When I arrived in China, Mr. Gu went to Wuhan to work as an interpreter at the Governor's Palace, and I happened to know some medical skills, so he introduced me to become a private doctor in the Governor's Palace. Unexpectedly, one day, I met your father at the Governor's Palace. ”

I knew that the governor my father was talking about was Master Zhang Xiangshuai, and my father happened to go to Wuhan to school the governor for the gun, so he reunited with Anne. Anne resolutely quit her job in the Governor's Mansion and decided with her father, who did not expect that the girl who had been rescued on the streets of England would come all the way to China to find him, and he was very moved. The governor was also happy to be a matchmaker, and fulfilled his father and Anne.

I wrote down Annie's advice one by one, and she turned around and hugged Piyu and Little Mushroom again, and explained again. Then he left with his father and went to Bryden.

I was going to give them a ride, or at least to Bryden, when I saw a ride of smoke and a car coming towards the vegetable garden.

The car stopped in front of the vegetable garden gate, and Carl jumped out of the car.

He exclaimed excitedly, "Haha, I'm finally free!" ”
