Chapter 92: Hearttalk on the banks of the Darling River
"Oh, I don't know who it is, it looks like it's an Aboriginal Australian. Don't worry, they've already run. I said.
Luna stared at me for a long time, and I asked weakly, "What's wrong?" ”
"Look at how you lied, I'm studying psychology now."
I pretended to be confused and said, "What do you mean?" ”
Luna frowned and said, "You lied! ”
I scratched my scalp: "How do you know I'm lying?" ”
Luna asked rhetorically, "How do you know I didn't know you were lying?" ”
I laughed: "You're not me, of course I don't know I'm lying!"
Luna gave me a blank look and said, "Fool, you don't care if I know it or not, but what you just said, 'How do you know that I lied', you already admit that you lied." ”
I was torn between a dilemma, "Luna, I know, you must be wondering who caused the wolves to attack you, but all I can tell you is that I don't know who attacked you, they have already escaped. ”
Luna sighed and said, "Worm, if you don't say it, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble in the future." ”
I shook my head, "What trouble can I have, I saved you, what's the matter, will anyone take revenge?" By the way, you and Nemo also came to hunt, how did you get here? I digressed from the subject.
"To be honest, I still don't know how we got here, I just don't think it's that simple. When we have time, let's talk about it, they called us. ”
So Luna and I ended our conversation and went to the Fountain of Refusal, where Wood took out all the jerky and gave it to both Moneyeye and Fat Chef. After a few days, they were finally able to get a bite to eat.
John and his wife were buried in the wolf's mouth, and little John cried when he saw the blood on the ground and the clothes torn by the coyote, and everyone persuaded them again, found the remaining parts and clothes of the two people and put them together, and picked up some stones and hastily piled them there, and opened them into a small stone pile, which was regarded as a temporary burial for them. If little John wants to bury his parents properly in the future, he can also find them here.
After burying Mr. and Mrs. John, I looked at Little John with tears in my eyes and said, "Little John, where are you going?" Mayor George just called you to go, and what I can tell you is that your brother Carl is now living in my garden, do you want to go back with us, or do you want to go to Melbourne with Mayor George? ”
Little John hesitated, and Mayor George said: "Little John naturally wants to follow me, and they still have some servants with me, not only Little John wants to follow me back, everyone should go with us, I especially need to thank Mr. Wood and Billy and you two, without you, I'm afraid everyone will die here." I invite you to Melbourne. ”
I shook my head, "Mr. George, I've been out for so long, my family and friends are very concerned, I'd better go home as soon as possible, thank you for your kindness." ”
Mayor George didn't expect me to refuse, his face was embarrassed, and he said: "Mr. Wood, your clothes are very straightforward, I like it very much, but since he doesn't want to go to Melbourne, you and Ling Ai must go." ”
Wood's face was embarrassed, he was in the officialdom, of course he knew that Mayor George was reciprocating, but he didn't want to part with his daughter so soon, Luna understood Wood's thoughts, she said to Wood: "Father, Mayor George is gracious, you go, I'll go back with Bug and Nemo first." ”
Wood was actually very moved, he touched Luna's long hair, "My little moon, finally grew up, but I don't want to go anywhere now, I just want to accompany my daughter, watch you grow up, watch you marry your own wishful husband, and when you have a child, my grandfather will show you the child every day." Wood let out a long sigh, "Well, nowhere to go." ”
Luna and I naturally knew that Mr. Wood was referring to "where" he was referring to the United Kingdom. Luna shook her head, "Father, you go to England, I don't object to you, I was trapped in a tree for three days, and suddenly I figured out a lot of things, although you hurt my mother sadly, but why didn't you pursue that person for more than 20 years?" I actually understand everything, but there are just some resentments that have made me drill. Father, you know what? When I was trapped in a tree and realized that my life was at the end of my life, I thought that if I really died, would I have any unfulfilled wishes, and I thought about a lot of wishes. Nemo still laughed at me, I made so many wishes, not to mention that we are dying, even if we are alive, it is difficult to fulfill, let's just make one wish. So I repeatedly weighed these wishes, gave up one wish after another, and finally there was really only one wish left, that is, I hope you can live a healthy and happy life. Because, you are the most important person in this world for me. ”
Luna was unprecedentedly moved and talked to Wood, and Wood, an old man who had been through many vicissitudes, hugged his daughter in his arms and cried into tears.
Luna smiled and said to Wood, "Father, since Mayor George has invited you, you can go." I went back with Nemo and the bugs, Nemo went out hunting with me, Billy came out with you to find us, we couldn't leave them out and run to Melbourne. Mayor George, my friends are anxious to go back and be reunited with their families, and we'll visit you again in the future, okay? ”
Mayor George smiled, "Of course, if Miss Luna comes to Melbourne, of course our family will welcome it." By the way, these friends, do you want to go to Melbourne together, although we met for the first time, my invitation is sincere. Mayor George said as he looked at Qian Yan and the fat chef.
Qian Yan laughed, "The contemptible person is the money shopkeeper of the Ottoman jewelry store, and it is a great honor to be invited by Mayor George, so we will disturb us a lot." ”
George listened to this, with a charming smile on his face, and nodded again and again.
The fat chef also came to be interested, "Haha, Qian Yan is contemptible, I'm a rough person, Mayor George is, I'm a chef, I think I'm a little famous in Brydon, these are my two brothers, they are police officers, Mayor George must have already seen it, since Mayor George is gracious, but we are disrespectful, then come to your house to disturb more." ”
George smiled when he heard this, with a confused smile on his face, and nodded his head.
Then we had to separate, I took Nemo and Luna back to the garden, and the others followed Mayor George to Melbourne, and then back to Bryden, although they had made a long detour, but they could get back to Bryden in a car or camel cart, probably before us, and the three of us had to return on foot, and now it had already passed the time that Piyu had agreed, and I did not know if the little acacia would be able to bring the letter to Piyou.
I can only go to the agreed place to have a look first, and if I don't see Piyu, I will go with Nemo Bing in two ways, all the way back to the vegetable garden, and all the way to the Bama tribe to ask the little acacia.
Little John quietly came to my side: "Brother Bug, I want to ask you something. Please be sure to tell me. ”
"Say it!"
"Who's that whistling and directing the coyotes to attack us?" Little John asked.
Little John's voice was not loud, but everyone immediately believed me, and everyone looked at me with the same question in their eyes.
I finally understood what Luna had just said, and I paused, and was about to explain it to everyone, when the fat chef had already scolded in a rough voice, "Yes, bug, you tell us which dog is the one who is calling the coyote to besiege us, I know, I will kill him." ”
I had to deal with these people with the words of Luna: "I don't know who they are, but it looks like they are Aboriginal Australians." ”
Mayor George followed, "Do you know which tribe it is?" ”
I said in my heart, if I tell you who it is, you, the mayor of Australia's largest city, will probably be able to wipe out the entire Gurui tribe with the army or police when you go back, so will they still have a way to live? Thinking of this, I had to shake my head: "I don't know, I didn't see them." ”
Nemochi said: "How could they leave for no reason, my sister-in-law and I have been trapped for three days, and the fat chef and the money shopkeeper have been trapped for even longer." How could they suddenly run away? ”
I glared at him, and Nemo didn't dare ask again.
George looked at me and said no more. We split into two parts, one with George and I on the way back with Nemo and Luna.
For more than an hour, the three of us came to the banks of the Daring River, and when we saw that it was getting late, we camped in the woods by the river.
There were far more groupers in the Darling River than in the Luming Valley where I had been recuperating with the little mushrooms, so I tied my dagger to a wooden stick and made a harpoon, and then looked down the river, and in a short time I picked out four fat groupers to the shore. Nemo grabbed them one by one, pulled out his knife and scraped off the scales, cut open the belly of the fish, and washed the entrails in the river.
I lit the fire, put up a stand, skewered the four fish, put them on the fire, and roasted them. The condiments carried are not much, just enough, but there are some difficulties in the future, it is difficult for the clever woman to cook without rice, there are no condiments, and the taste of fresh meat is much worse.
Luna sat by the fire with her knees crossed and watched the two of us brothers go about their business, her expression calm.
Nemo picked up a grilled fish, peeled off the grilled place with a knife, and handed it to Luna: "Sister-in-law, try it, Brother Bug's craftsmanship is usually rarely eaten." ”
Luna smiled and took it.
I hit Nemo with my arm, "Nemo, don't scream, what is my sister-in-law shouting every day!" ”
Nemo shouted: "Brother Bug, you can't be at sunset, sister-in-law is so beautiful, aren't you still satisfied?" ”
"I ......", I was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to answer Nemo, and finally said angrily, "Eat your fish!" ”
Luna's eyes flowed, and she looked at me quietly, which made me feel even more uncomfortable, and finally she said softly, "Worm, the grilled fish you made is delicious." Thank you! If any girl marries you and eats such delicious food every day, she will definitely be very happy. ”
I smiled and stopped talking.
After eating, I took out the rope, tied a few knots, and tied a hammock between the two trees, "Luna, you can sleep in this hammock at night." Nemo, you go find some hay, and the two of us will lay the floor. ”
Nemo answered, and went looking around for hay.
Luna looked at the hammock, it was very fresh, "It's the first time I've slept in a hammock at night." ”
"Then you can try it, it's actually not comfortable, it's better to lay on the ground, but I'm worried that you're sleeping on the ground too cold, so I stuck this hammock."
Luna didn't speak, she looked at me intently, and I was a little embarrassed.
"Let's go sit by the river!" As he spoke, he walked straight to the river.
Luna and I went to the river, and the Darling River was calm and silent. The shadow of the moon was printed upside down on the surface of the river, like a shy little girl, shining faintly. There is a hint of evening breeze, mixed with the song of crickets, rippling in the ears.
I saw Luna jump onto a big rock, where she was pretty and independent, looking at the slippery and bright reflection in the water, there was a faint lazy thought surging, she shook her clothes casually, shook off the sadness and exhaustion of her body, seemed to be relaxed all at once, she smiled and beckoned to me.
Luna is one of the most beautiful women I've ever met, without it. Ever since I first met her at a bar, I have found that I don't think of her, I want to be close to her, watch her every move, smile. At this time, I saw her standing on the stone by the river, with a graceful demeanor, and I couldn't help but be fascinated. At this time, I saw the beckoning hand to let me pass, and hurriedly raised my legs forward, but accidentally tripped over the stone under my feet, and I rushed forward a few steps before I could stand still, and my form was already very embarrassed.
Luna laughed.
She stretched out her hand and pulled me to the boulder, and I held her hand, weak and boneless, white and tender even after a few days of the vicissitudes of the wasteland. Waiting for the boulder, then her hand, when I looked at her closely, I saw that her eyebrows were slender, her eyes were rolling, and the corners of her mouth were full of spring breeze, and she forgot to let go of her hand for a while.
Luna pulled me to sit side by side on the boulder, and I felt that this moment was really the happiest moment of my life, and I wished that time would stop flowing forever.
Luna said softly: "Worm, listen to Nemo, your father and mother have returned to China?" ”
I nodded: "Yes, when you went to the vegetable garden to look for me, they had already been gone for several days, and it was estimated that it had been half a month, and it was estimated that they should have arrived in China by now." ”
"Do you want to go back to China?"
"To be honest, I don't really want to, I grew up in Australia and got used to it."
"So what do you want to do in the future?"
"I never thought about it, I like shooting, I like hunting, and I usually follow my father to grow vegetables, maybe I will be a vegetable farmer and hunter in the future!" I never thought about what the future would be, but I feel that the situation is good now, and it would be better if my father and Anne didn't go back to China.
Luna shook her head, "It seems that you like to live the same life, but your life has changed, the vegetable garden has become a mine, I see that you have built several small cabins on the mountain, and your friends are not only Nemo, you can't go back to the past." ”
When Luna said this, I realized that my current situation was definitely different from before, and it had changed dramatically. Suddenly, I felt a little scared, but I couldn't tell what I was afraid of.
Luna said: "I also like the simple life, when I was a child with my parents and the family was the time I missed the most, but when Wood ran back to England and my mother washed her face with tears, I realized that simple life is always so short." When my mother passed away from heart disease, I went to study abroad, I studied medicine, specializing in heart and nerves, and I thought that I could use my medical skills to make people like my mother feel no more heartache, but this was just wishful thinking. When I came back from studying abroad, I saw Wood packing up and going to the man. ”
After a pause, Luna continued: "After this hunt, I suddenly found that I don't know when it became complicated, I want to make myself simpler now, Wood wants to go to that person, let him go, he will be much happier if he gets what he wants, and I want to live happily", she stood up and stretched her waist, "The night in the wasteland is so beautiful, I really want to have a simple and happy love." ”
I smiled, "That's not easy, you can be my girlfriend, I'll take you to see enough of the wasteland day and night." ”
Luna looked at me leisurely: "Bug, do you like me?" ”
