Chapter 687 Nine Lives (5)

When Li Jiayi opened her eyes again, she was already in a small fishing village, her daughter Mai Mai was lying beside her.She was taken aback, and reached out to Mai Mai's nostrils to make sure she was still breathing, and then she was relieved.

She sat up propped up and looked around the room.

The house was built of logs, very simple, with fishing nets and fishing gear hanging on the walls, exuding a fishy smell, it looked like a small fishing village by the sea.Li Jiayi blinked her eyes, she landed, no longer need to float on the sea.

But where is this place?

After a while, a small woman walked in.Li Jiayi looked up, she had thick eyebrows, black curly hair, her skin was neither black nor white, but a chocolate color, her eyes were dark brown.She was holding some dry food in her hand, and as soon as she entered the door, she smiled foolishly and babbled a long paragraph of words.

Li Jiayi could tell that she was speaking English, with heavy dialect traces.However, she can still hear the general meaning. When she was in the United States, in order to cure Mai Mai's autism, she also went to several places. She also listened to a lot of dialects in various places, and she has practiced her spoken English a long time ago.

The woman said his name was Tina and he was a fisherman here.Her brother Tony picked up their mother and daughter at the beach while he was fishing.Both of them have been in a coma for two or three days, and Mai still has a high fever.But after taking the medicine, the high fever subsided.

Li Jiayi lowered her head and saw that the clothes she was wearing were not her own, and Mai Mai was also wearing a baggy dress.Li Jiayi guessed that they were all wearing this Tina's clothes. She thanked her in English again and again, and at the same time figured out her situation:

She and Mai passed out from starvation on the assault boat, and then were rescued by Tina's brother Tony who went fishing, and came to this small fishing village named Di Kafu, located in New South Wales, Australia.When they were rescued, the mother and daughter huddled together, wrapped in a piece of tattered straw blanket, in a terrible embarrassment.

With an attitude of giving it a try, Tina gave them some medicine, and they were rescued.Li Jiayi was so grateful that she didn't know what to say, and Maimai was in poor health, so she had a premonition that she would bother her here for a while, so she gave Tina one of her diamond earrings.

That pair of earrings is the brand of Van Cleef & Arpels, and Gu Chengyi specially ordered it for her.She likes it so much that she sometimes sleeps without taking it off, and now it's the only thing on her that's worth anything.

Tina was born in a small fishing village since she was a child. Although she had never seen the world and didn't know any brands, she knew the value of the sparkling diamond earrings and refused to accept them anyway.

Li Jiayi thought for a while, then kept one for herself and one for her, saying that in China, it meant friendship.After hearing this meaning, Tina accepted one and carefully kept it in her small box.

The development of this small fishing village is relatively backward, and there is no telephone connection.Mai Mai's health is not very good, Li Jiayi can only settle down temporarily, and when Mai Mai is in good health, she will go to a nearby town and call Gu Chengyi.Li Jiayi always remembered his phone number, and the eleven Arabic numerals had been engraved in his heart long ago.

No matter who is behind the scenes, Li Jiayi must contact him and listen to him.

Usually Tony always goes out to sea to fish, and Tina is the only one at home, doing laundry, cooking and tidying up the house.Of course, Li Jiayi couldn't be idle, and when she was a little better, she went to help her and did whatever she could.After a few days of getting along, the spoken English of the two has almost improved, and there are basically no obstacles in communication.

Thinking of this, Li Jiayi felt a little lucky, fortunately, she was living in Australia, a place where she can speak English.If you end up in a place where you don't understand the language, that's called being in a desperate situation.

She and Tina were washing clothes by the beach. Mai Mai was new to everything and was afraid of everything, especially the brown Australian aborigines, so unless she fell asleep, she followed Li Jiayi all the time: "Mom, When can we go back?"
