[Comprehensive]Dear Lester

After the beginning of spring, I returned to China with the ashes of Mrs. Zeng, and Lester went with me.If I remember correctly, Mrs. Zeng passed away in this year.Although the Anti-Japanese War is coming to an end, the situation in various places is still grim, and Guangdong is no exception.We did not sell our house in Guangdong. Fortunately, this house was not occupied by the Japanese army or soldiers and puppet soldiers, but most of the neighbors nearby were already unfamiliar, and the house of the Gu family next door was also dead.

I went to see my grandmother, Gu Lisha, alone. She was wearing a half-worn cotton jacket, her hair was braided in two strands and hung on her chest, and her small face hidden behind the door was already as thin as a palm.Even so, the Chinese-French mixed blood makes the grandma extremely beautiful.I heard her ask cautiously, "Who is it?"

"Miss Gu, I'm Su Mo."

Behind the door, she was stunned for a long time, and then she probably thought of me, a neighbor who had been away from Guangdong for several years, before she opened the door of the house: "Miss Su, it was you, you haven't changed over the years, but I didn't recognize it all at once. "

"Well... Where's the wife? Why don't you see her?"

At the mention of Eva, the grandmother's eyes turned red.I can't correct each other's seniority, the grandma in front of me is still a 19-year-old girl, one year younger than me before time travel.I stepped forward and put my arms around her shoulders, and I could feel her thinness through the jacket.I sighed: "Can I see my wife?"

The old lady sniffed and said, "She has been ill for many days, Miss Su is still not over the illness. I am already grateful that you can ask about mother."

"I want to see Mrs. Gu." I pondered for a moment, "I have something to give to Mrs. Gu."

After hearing what I said, my grandmother took me to the backyard.In recent years, there have been constant wars and disasters, and the Gu family is no longer as prosperous as it used to be. Of course, it is a great blessing for Mrs. Zeng to save the Gu family's house in this troubled time.Grandma Zeng's master bedroom is full of European style. When I entered the room, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, and a beautiful western woman was reflected in the clean mirror.The old lady hurried forward: "Mom, why are you up?"

Grandma Zeng put on powder and rouge on her lips, she didn't look sick at all.

"A guest is here. How impolite to lie on the bed?" Grandma Zeng stroked her temples and said, "Lisa, go and make a pot of tea. You still have to do what you should."

"Mrs. Gu, you don't have to do this." I felt a dull pain in my heart, but it was hard to say the words I had thought up before.The grandma backed down according to Grandma Zeng's words.Immediately there were only me and Mrs. Zeng left in the room.She looked at me quietly, appreciating: "Miss Su, you are not human."

She didn't wait for my answer, and continued: "I don't know what your purpose is for approaching our Gu family. If your purpose endangers Lisa, then I will die with you even if I risk my life."

Her strength has not completely disappeared, and as soon as the words fell, I felt a strong sense of oppression.Fortunately, the feeling of oppression came and went quickly, so she changed the topic: "But, I should be thinking too much. Thank you for coming to see me today."

My eyes turned red, I don't know if it was because Grandma Zeng was guarding against me, or seeing her at the end of her battle, it was really hard.At this time, the old woman came with freshly brewed tea, but she looked a little embarrassed and restrained, and said: "There is only Chen Cha in the house, Miss Su forgive me."

"Hey, you child. How does Chen Cha treat guests? If that's the case, why not boil a pot of white water." Grandma Zeng was very particular about this, and she was even more embarrassed when she said this.I quickly said, "No, no, Chen Cha is just fine. I like it."

"Lisa, go to your own room first. Miss Su and I have something to talk about."

The old lady never objected, she agreed and left.

Grandma Zeng frowned, and turned her gaze to me: "Su Mo, are you really not going to confess to me?"

Facing Grandma Zeng's penetrating and deep eyes, which have seen all the vicissitudes of life, my heart skipped a beat. For some reason, I shed two lines of tears first.

"I said, do you trust me?"

"Let's talk about it first." Grandma Zeng frowned again.Instead, I was choked by what she said, thinking that Mrs. Zeng is the Supreme Witch after all, and the world she has seen is not comparable to that of ordinary people.Moving his lips, he narrated his experience.As I said this, I looked carefully at Mrs. Zeng's face, for fear of irritating her who was already in poor health.Except for being a little surprised at the beginning, Mrs. Zeng never showed any strange colors.After listening to me, she said quietly: "Give me Xin Lun's ashes. After I die, let Lisa bury us together."

I was sobbing, I thought I could finish all this calmly, but I still couldn't do it in front of Mrs. Zeng.She said softly: "No prospect." But after all, she beckoned me to go over with a soft sigh.After receiving Grandfather Zeng's ashes, she twitched the corners of her mouth, smiled desolately, put it in her arms, and motioned for me to squat beside her, gently caressing my head with those white hands: "Lisa ...Your mother-in-law was protected by me so well that she developed such a soft temper. When your great-grandfather was around, you chose a marriage for her. I have seen that child. If you can fall in love with your mother-in-law, Your mother-in-law can also take a fancy to him, and it will be a good marriage. But if Lisa has other ideas about this matter, or the child doesn't like her, you can help me take care of her."

"...Grandma Zeng..."

"Since you have the blood of the Supreme Witch, you should understand that I don't have much time." She smiled, "Don't you think it's wrong to let you, a younger generation, take care of the grandma?"

"No. How come?"

She lifted my chin and wiped away my tears with a silk handkerchief.

At this time, Grandmother Lisa came again. She knocked on the door and said outside, "Mom, Miss Su's husband is here to look for her. I brought him in."

Why is Lester here?I only heard Mrs. Zeng say: "Lisa, please bring Mr. de Leoncourt in."

The old woman was taken aback, but she still didn't ask the reason, and hurriedly invited Lester to the house.

After Lester entered the room, he was taken aback when he saw Mrs. Zeng and me, but quickly said to Mrs. Zeng politely: "I'm sorry to disturb Mrs. Gu. I didn't know beforehand that Momo was coming to visit you, otherwise, you should came together."

"Don't worry about those formalities." Mrs. Zeng probably didn't want Lisa to hear their conversation, so she said to Lester in French, "Our children were alone in the past, thanks to Mr. de Leoncourt's help." 'take care of'."

Lester raised his eyebrows and looked at me in surprise. He probably didn't expect that I would tell Grandma Zeng about this weird thing, but Grandma Zeng believed it.But he quickly said sincerely: "Mrs. Gu, I will take good care of Momo in the future. As long as Momo doesn't leave me."

"Even if Momo marries Mr. de Leoncourt, it's Momo's freedom to leave or not to leave. What's more, she hasn't married you yet. Besides, if it's not that you can't do well, how could she leave?" Mrs. Zeng was merciless, and I listened to it from the sidelines, but found it very useful.She glanced at me, and then said to Lester: "You have already visited me. I am not in good health. M. de Leoncourt will not object to staying longer?"

The corner of Lester's mouth froze, but he replied very politely: "Of course not. Dear Mrs. Gu."

"Lisa, see off."

……

Looking at Lester's deflated appearance, I just felt a bad breath!If I knew it was so good to recognize relatives, I should have recognized them earlier!Of course, at that time, I also wanted to speak up many times, but I kept silent because I was afraid of being regarded as a lunatic.Grandma Zeng's time is running out now, and a voice in my heart tells me that if I don't say it, I will never have a chance.No one will know your secret but Lester.Even your parents.

That night I lived with my grandma Lisa. Before going to bed, she was full of worries and told me about her worries—she thought Grandma Zeng was always in good health, but after seeing a blond girl, Grandma Zeng His physical condition plummeted.The reason why Mrs. Zeng did this should have something to do with that girl.But after inviting countless doctors, they couldn't find out that Mrs. Zeng was poisoned...

I hugged her quietly, thinking to myself, in fact, what she said was correct, Grandma Zeng's physical accident had something to do with the next Supreme Witch.However, the supreme power is bestowed by the heavens, and ordinary people have no ability to force it, but they also have no ability to refuse.I suddenly thought of something... I told my grandma that I was going to the toilet and slipped out.

I stood outside Grandma Zeng's house and heard her soft weeping.

I stood there for a long time, and when the crying stopped, I knocked on the door.

In the room, Mrs. Zeng was half-sitting on the bed, with Mrs. Zeng's ashes beside her pillow.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet? Are you not used to it?"

Although it is quite tormenting to have a lively grandma lying next to me, my self-control is not too bad.When I intend to tell Grandma Zeng about it in the future, she was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head and laughed: "Lisa is my only concern. Now that you are taking care of her, what else do I have to worry about?"

"Grandma Zeng..."

"Mo Mo, you have a heart. I have heard a Chinese folk song, 'Whoever dies at the age of 97, wait for three years on the Naihe Bridge', I can't keep Xin Lun waiting."

I suddenly understood.

I left Grandma Zeng's room and went to relax in the yard.The streets outside Gu's house are full of willows, and catkins fly all over the sky in this season.Many flew into the yard and landed on the surface of the pond, on the newly sprouted peach trees, on the ground, on the stone table.That's right, if it wasn't for loving Mr. Zeng too much, why would he guard the Gu family's house and wait for so many years.For Eva, after all, China is a foreign country, and following Mr. Zeng, did he make up his mind for a lifetime of courage?The man who fell under the hail of bullets came to my mind again.A moment of sadness came from it.

"Little Gray Rabbit."

I was startled, and immediately turned to look at Lester: "Why are you here?"

My God...he stood gracefully on top of the wall of Gu Zhai, with a smile on his lips, like a disciple."I knew you couldn't help but come to me," he said.

……

"You think too much."

He quickly climbed down the low wall, walked in front of me calmly, and then kissed my forehead: "I find this way, I will miss you even more."

"Then you will have opportunities in the future." I teased, "I have always been a good girl, and I have never touched a boy's finger before. You'd better not show up in my parents' eyes, otherwise they will deal with you , I can't say bad..."

Lester raised his eyebrows: "Why don't we get married?"

I was startled, and quickly withdrew from his arms, and said with a dry smile, "Aren't we just partners?"

No kidding, I'm in the 21st century and I haven't even finished college yet!If my parents knew that I married a foreigner without their consent, they would definitely not recognize me as a daughter!Seeing me, Lester showed some complex expressions, like he was relieved, but also annoyed.I've been with him for so long, and it's not always possible to guess his mind, but this time it's like a tacit understanding——

I know he is quick talk, how can a person like him who is always pursuing new things be linked to marriage?Moreover, for vampires, being married or not is not so important.I also breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, but at the same time I also felt some loss and embarrassment.I pretended not to care, and said, "Okay, okay, you leave quickly. Don't be discovered by my grandma Zeng."

Lester hugged me into his arms, then bit my mouth hard: "Good night."

·

The next day, Mrs. Zeng called her and me to her, and explained her affairs calmly and carefully.

The old woman lay in her arms and wept uncontrollably.

Grandma Zeng seemed to have a premonition, and as she said, she passed away peacefully that night.The old woman was so shocked that she cried as soon as she opened her eyes.So, the funeral of Mrs. Zeng and Mrs. Zeng was actually arranged by me.Along the way, I have seen off too many people.Or friends, or relatives.On the day old M. de Leoncourt died, I understood that this phenomenon would follow until the end of time.

Lester also lived in Gu's house and dealt with various matters with me.

On the first seven days, a young man in military uniform came, holding a marriage contract.I immediately understood that he was the man Grandma Zeng said she had a marriage contract with.He is an old-fashioned man, and once he has a marriage contract, he recognizes his mother-in-law.As for the great-grandmother, the death of the great-grandmother Zeng was like a catastrophe to her, and the presence of a man brought her a great sense of security.Seeing how they got along, I understood that this man must be my grandfather.

Sure enough, the funeral of Mrs. Zeng was done thoroughly, and the man left Guangdong with her.He is in the army, and the war is not over. If he hadn't learned that Mrs. Zeng had an accident, he would not have traveled thousands of miles to Guangdong to pick up her orphaned daughter.A stay of more than a month is considered a long time.I didn't get involved in their lives anymore.On the day he left with the grandfather, the grandmother cried into tears, and the grandfather stood by at a loss, not knowing how to comfort the fiancée whom he had known for a long time...

——This paragraph is different from what I know about "grandmother befriending grandpa who went south to fight", so Lester and I followed them all the way again.Originally, Lester's mind-reading skills would not deceive us, but I am still worried when it comes to our loved ones.It wasn't until I saw my grandma being treated well by the grandpa's family that I didn't give up.

Later, I thought about it too. If it wasn't because of the marriage contract, how could the granny, who has always had no opinions, leave Guangdong after the death of the granny Zeng?And how could Mrs. Zeng, who is so capable, not arrange the rest of her life for her daughter?It can be seen that what the elders pass on by word of mouth is not necessarily correct.

All the way from Guangdong to Zhejiang, and then all the way north, because the war is not over, and I can't stand by.So by the time Lester and I returned to Lithuania, it was already the end of the year.Already in Lithuania it's snowing so much it's almost knee deep.Leicester has never sold a house without leaving a place, because in this war-torn era, fixed assets might become someone else's the next day.But he never sold this manor in Lithuania.Perhaps because of the friendship with the Lecter family.But who knows?

It has to be said that once you have your own place somewhere, you feel like you have a home.This time the north trip has arrived in Inner Mongolia, and we want to go back to Lithuania to see the Marquis and his two lovely children. —Of course, the main thing is I think.Leicester only pursues all new and curious things, and it doesn't matter where he goes.

I brought four ceramic dolls to the children, made by skilled folk artisans.The older ones are parents, and the younger ones are Hannibal and Misha.

"I think Hannibal must have grown a lot taller. As for Misha, my lovely Misha, I don't know how much she can talk now."

Lester was sitting in the driver's seat and driving the car, he curled his lips when he heard me say that.

"Maybe 'Madame de Leoncourt'."

I was in a good mood and ignored Leicester's teasing.We arrived at the manor soon. Lester parked the car outside the manor and looked through the car window. He saw that the manor, which was neat and tidy before leaving, looked like a wasp passing through!I immediately looked in the direction of Fort Lecter and shouted, "Lester, go to Lecter's house!"

Before I could finish speaking, Lester had already turned the car around.But it's a bit different from what I imagined, something must have happened to the Lecter's house, it's just the castle... It's not empty, and it's not a wasp crossing.There are troops stationed inside and outside the castle... Lester rolled down the window and said, "It's the Soviet army."

My heart skipped a beat.At this time, the Soviet army guarding the gate had already picked up their guns, pointed at us, and asked questions in Russian, which I did not understand.But don't think about it, you can probably know what they are asking, it is nothing more than our identity and the purpose of coming here.Lester and I exchanged glances, then opened the car door and got out.So I heard Lester answer the Soviet army in Russian... I don't know when he learned Russian, it must have been learned during the period when I was unconscious.In any case, as a westerner, he can learn Chinese so well, so other languages ​​are not a problem... This guy's language talent is so enviable!

The Soviet army didn't make things difficult for us anymore. After getting in the car, I hurriedly asked Lester: "How is it? Is there any whereabouts of the Lecter family?"

"No." Lester looked at me, "They should not be far away with their children."

Think about it too, those Soviet troops occupied the castle of Marquis Lecter, whether they are friends or foes, they don't know.Moreover, we are the ones being questioned, so it is naturally impossible to ask them the other way around.Lester's calm tone calmed me down and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Do you remember that Marquis Lecter has a small village nearby?"

ah!Indeed, there is such a Zhuangzi. If they take their children and belongings to escape the flames of war for a while, they are most likely to go there!I panicked and didn't even remember!To get to Xiaozhuangzi, you must pass through a forest. The road in the forest can only pass by horse-drawn carriages, which is too narrow for cars.We abandoned the car outside the woods, but the pace on foot was no problem.Far away, I heard singing from Xiaozhuangzi...

"It's German."

Lester frowned.

My heart skipped a beat, and I speeded up.

There is thick snow in the snow outside Xiaozhuangzi.As soon as I stepped on it, it went over my boot.

And in front of Xiaozhuangzi, two rough soldiers held the arms of a two or three-year-old girl, and one raised an axe, yelling at something in German that I couldn't understand, but I think the main point was to let him His companion secured the little girl... His ax was aimed at the little girl's neck.The singing stopped abruptly, and only the man shouted loudly and the little girl's hoarse cry—Hannibal!Hannibal!

She doesn't know life or death yet, she just feels fear.

"Misha!"
