ww.x.om Li Siya and Li Mo looked at each other with tears in their eyes for a long time. The days when the three sisters had fun and carefree together seemed like a world away.
"I never thought we sisters would meet again!" Li Mo said in a trembling voice, holding the lilac knot tightly in his hand. This was compiled by Li Mo himself, one for each of the three sisters. Her own one had long been lost in the wanderings, but she didn't expect that her sister still kept it well.
The two talked about the pain of missing each other for many years and asked about the days of these years. Li Mo could no longer suppress the long-suppressed sorrow in his heart. He cried while talking, which made Li Siya wipe her tears.
"...Thanks to Sister Chuqing for helping me in Goujiazhuang, and later I met Brother Zhang who was kind enough to take me to Kun... the chief..." Li Mo cried, "My sister and your niece were in Goujiazhuang. They have suffered all kinds of hardships. , went to hell for a while.”
Of course Li Siya from Goujiazhuang knew that she had colluded with Gou Er and made him become an idler who did not play a big role. I really didn't expect that Li Mo would be bullied and abused in this man's village, and he felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Anger and guilt were mixed together, but speaking of it, this was all Li Mo's fault - recalling that she secretly ran away with someone without saying a word, leaving Li Siya, who was still a child, with the feeling of being abandoned and abandoned. The deep shadow of betrayal.
Seeing her feeling guilty and crying so hard, she felt inexplicably happy.
"Stop talking about these sad things." Li Siya sighed leisurely, "Sister, you are so cruel to leave us like this!"
Li Mo was already feeling guilty, but he became even more embarrassed when she complained - she was originally a half-slave nanny, and she was used to looking down on others in front of Li Siya. How could he stand being suppressed by her words? He stood up and knelt down in front of Li Siya, holding back his tears and said: "Sister, I know I was wrong. It was all because I was temporarily obsessed back then, and I have suffered so much these years. My sister deserves the punishment for herself..."
Seeing her kneeling on the ground, Li Siya felt proud: Li Mo had recognized her as his master again. She has been wandering around for more than ten years, and I want to conquer her. Just relying on sisterly affection is not enough. She must be made to admit her mistakes and reestablish her authority. So the sentence just now seems to be just a complaint from a child, but in fact there is something behind it: Li Mo's parents died one after another because of her elopement. After her death, Li Mo did not come back to attend the funeral and visit the grave, out of the righteousness of "unfilial piety" Due to her status and her master's prestige, she couldn't help but to kneel down and submit.
Seeing that she had knelt down to admit her mistake. Li Siya stopped clicking and then helped her up with a look of unbearability: "Sister, don't be like this. It's all in the past. How can you talk about right and wrong? My sister has suffered so much, and my sister can't help her. you……"
Li Mo didn't know the twists and turns in this girl's heart, and thought that she cared about the relationship between sisters and didn't want to embarrass herself too much, so he was even more grateful. The two cried for a while and then asked how Li Siya and Li Quan had been doing over the years.
Speaking of the past events over the years, Li Siya didn’t say much about what she had done. She just said that she had been “hanging around” at sea these years. Li Mo saw that her sister looked like she had been in trouble and had been weathered, so she knew that she might have been too. What are you doing at sea? In all likelihood, it was the "black business" that the master had done back then, and he couldn't help but worry.
Although her life and work in the past few years have been on the farm and in the hospital, she has had more contact with elders than other naturalized citizens. You can hear some policies and news in just a few words. She knew that the Senate hated pirates deeply, and if they were not willing to take refuge, they would die if they were not "reformed" after being caught. I couldn't help but become worried, and I gave some advice not to touch silver with the smell of sea water anymore. Whether it is to go back to Portugal to live with the master, or to stay in Macau and be at ease, it is a good way out.
Li Siya sighed and refused to speak: her mother was from a humble background. She never held a Catholic wedding with her father - in fact, her father also had a formal wife and children in Portugal. Although her father and the Portuguese lady there wrote a letter saying that as long as she was willing to go back, they would recognize her as their official daughter, but after all, she was born a head shorter. She is a proud and arrogant woman, how could she be willing to suffer this injustice? Furthermore, when you return to Portugal, you have to comb your hair seriously, put on a skirt full of gold threads, and sit at home every day waiting for a gentleman who likes you or your dowry to propose...
She has now accumulated a fortune of 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, rather than go to Portugal to live a life of restraint. It's better to live a free life here.
She said: "My mother is Chinese. Besides, I haven't seen you, sister, so I don't feel at ease even if I go to Portugal." She avoided answering other questions and asked: "Sister, how are you doing in Lingao? What?"
"Okay, okay." Li Mo wiped his tears and said with a smile. "Mr. Wu is a very nice person, and Sister Chuqing treats me well. My sister works in the Ministry of Health and gets paid monthly, and your niece also has Shunan - the chiefs are really nice to us mother and daughter."
Li Siya already knew from her words that her eldest sister's attitude toward these "thieves" was one of gratitude, and it was impossible to persuade her to do things for her.
However, as long as she cares about this family relationship, she can at least get a lot of inside information about the Kun thief. Right now, he doesn't want his sister to do the work for him. It's more serious to think about winning her over first.
So she also made a show of "laughing through tears" and said: "Sister now has a good entrustment, and my sister is relieved." As she said that, she took out two small gold ingots from her arms, "This is a little bit for my sister. Mind."
Li Mo took a look and saw that these were two small gold ingots of "Bi Ingot Ruyi", always weighing one or two more. Although it can be regarded as a "heavy gift", Li Mo knows that this gift is very common for children from wealthy families to give to relatives and friends, and it is not excessive. So he didn't refuse.
"With a little gold, let's buy some jewelry for my nephew to wear." Li Siya acted like a good aunt, "My nephew has grown up in a blink of an eye, and I haven't even confiscated my aunt's things. If I tell you, it won't make people laugh."
Li Mo asked about Li Chun's whereabouts again.
"Chunmei is no longer with me." Li Siya looked a little "sad" and said, "She's grown up and I can't control her anymore. She has to go to sea alone to conquer the world - she said she wants to find your sister. Whereabouts. She has been gone for several years. She came back to see me by chance earlier. In recent years, there has been no news at all. Only some news comes from time to time, true or false. But she is probably still safe now. "
"It's better not to eat this bowl of rice." Li Mo felt even more apologetic after hearing this, "Those who are in trouble are prone to shipwrecks and death." She talked about the latest shipwreck near Kaohsiung: the fleet encountered a storm on the way from Kaohsiung. A transport ship was sunk, several other ships were also damaged, and hundreds of people died at once.
Li Siya listened very carefully. Although this news was of little use to her, it showed that as long as she could keep up with her sister, she would know a lot of such sporadic information, and there was a chance that important information would be missed.
While he was making an abacus, he heard Li Mo say: "Sister, you should stop doing the old business and why not move to Lingao. It's easy to make a living here and you can do business. The Australian gentleman couldn't be more welcome here, whether it's investment or investment." I can grow my hair whether I work for the chief or open my own business. We sisters can be together for a long time."
Li Siya's heart moved. In fact, this was a good idea, but she had shown herself in front of Chairman Wen. Living in Lingao for a long time is like throwing yourself into a trap - it would have been better if Chairman Wen had been killed directly.
She pretended to sigh and said: "Sister doesn't know something, so I can't go to Lingao."
"Why?"
"When the Australians first came to Guangdong, my sister was ignorant and offended them, so they formed a dispute - if they were to catch them, I'm afraid it would be a disaster..."
Li Mo was startled: "What? Sister, you—"
"Sister, please don't ask." Li Siya had to ask Li Mo to keep this meeting a secret. This trump card must be revealed. "However, the Australians are now a dominant force in the sea, and they will not look down on them for about a while." Sister, this is an old thing. Sister, don’t worry—it’s just that I can’t go in Lingao.”
Li Mo nodded: "Sister, I know."
"Sister, I'm going to go. You can take a shower before leaving." Li Siya estimated that they had been chatting for about an hour. If they wanted to relieve their lovesickness, they could talk all day and all night, but it took a long time. , will inevitably arouse Kun Thief's suspicion.
Li Mo was reluctant to leave, but he also knew that there was nothing he could do. Since his sister had offended the Australians, she naturally couldn't stay here for a long time. But after leaving, I didn’t know when we would see each other again, so I stood up to say goodbye and said, "Sister, you have to be careful..." Yan Bi shed tears again.
"I will write a letter to my sister." Li Siya said, "I wonder where to send the letter?"
Li Mo thought for a while: "You just need to put the letter in the mailbox of Qiwei Escort Bureau here, and write on the envelope "Li Mo, Bairen General Hospital."
In order to facilitate the contact between the Guangdong immigrants who immigrated to Lingao and their relatives in Guangdong, the General Post Office opened postal routes throughout Guangdong using the escort routes and subcolons of the Qiwei Escort Bureau. It is very convenient for sending letters.
"If the letter is delivered directly, it will be sent to No. 105, Building 12, Nanhai Farm Dormitory Area." Li Mo said.
Li Siya said: "I know, sister, take care of me!" She put the gauze over her head again, opened the door slightly and took a look. Seeing no one around, she quietly sneaked back to her private room.
Li Mo wiped away her tears, filled the bathroom with water, took a hurried shower, and ordered a cold drink with lots of ice - she knew that to cover up her crying eyes, using ice compresses was the fastest and most effective way. method.
