The first night in the Scottish Highlands can be said to have been spent in Xiao Peng's storytelling. Everyone listened curiously to Xiao Peng's African experience.

Even if Claudia was hiding in Xiao Peng's big tent and taking a bath, she couldn't help but prick up her ears to listen to Xiao Peng's story at this time.

It is said that girls have more or less cleanliness habits, Claudia gave full play to the advantages of girls, asked Inge and them to boil a large bucket of water for themselves, and carried them to Xiao Peng's tent to take a bath.

But now that she sees Xiao Peng's eyes lit up, looking at his bodyguards are all muscular men, but only three people can carry such a bucket of water, and then look at Xiao Peng's own self-carrying so easily, how many secrets does this man have?

Rebecca doesn't look at him right, she won't want to fight with me, right?

Claudia shook her head, forbidding herself from thinking nonsense, and listened to Xiao Peng talk eloquently outside the tent.

"In fact, in Africa, the most annoying thing is that people are stopped and asked for money, for example, Uganda, it's really not an exaggeration, if you drive for ten minutes, people will stop and ask for money once, sometimes the army, sometimes the police, sometimes the underworld. It's about tolls. Xiao Peng said over there.

"What?" Clapton's eyes widened, "I still want to go to the Ugandan rainforest to study leopards." Is that like this? Xiao, you should resist!"

Xiao Peng smiled: "You're right, you should resist, the premise is that you have enough firepower." ”

"What do you mean?" Clapton was puzzled.

"In Uganda, AK-47 is as common as your Eagle Country's car, and you are embarrassed to stand on the side of the road to set up a card to collect money without carrying a few AKs, so you can resist one?" Xiao Peng said with a smile.

Clapton took a breath, "And how much do they cost?"

Xiao Peng shrugged: "I don't know." ”

"Don't know?" Clapton was puzzled.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Maybe I'm more handsome, no one takes my money." ”

"No one takes your money?" Clapton's eyes widened.

Xiao Peng snorted: "We Chinese people are not like you people, Africans also know how bad it is, and we Chinese people are here to help them, not to harm them." Not like you guys. When did you see our Huaxia throwing missiles at other countries? Among the powerful countries, Huaxia is the safest, and you Caucasian 。。。。。。 Let's ask for more blessings. ”

Xiao Peng said this, in fact, there is also an element of scaring them, those who block the road and ask for money in Africa don't matter which country you are, you should ask for it, and you can't do it with less!

Of course, Xiao Peng will not give it, this trip to Africa, just those who blocked the way to collect money let him go, not a thousand, but eight hundred!

To be honest, Xiao Peng is not short of that money, and he can pass safely by giving five dollars to each checkpoint, but Xiao Peng doesn't want to get used to their problems, right?

Jamie's curiosity was not there: "Xiao, have you ever seen the Great Migration of East African animals?"

Xiao Peng nodded: "Of course I saw it." Oh, and I saved a few Eagle Country Silly Forks!"

As soon as these words came out, the people around him pulled down their faces together, what does this mean?

Xiao Peng also reacted that something was wrong, and explained: "I'm not saying that you, it's like this, there is a tour group that also goes to visit the Great Migration of East African Animals, and you also know that when you watch the migration on the grassland, you all sleep in tents, right? At night, there will be all kinds of wild animals to arch the tents." The camp of the tour group I mentioned was not far from where I lived, and I ended up going to a few elephants in the evening and leveling their camp. ”

"Why did the elephants rush to their camp?" Jamie wondered.

"There were a couple of Eagle Country girls on the tour who didn't put the shampoo in the car but in the tent after washing, and the strange smell attracted the elephants. Frightened everyone, thankfully it didn't get too big, only one guard was trampled on by a female elephant while leading the people to escape. Xiao Peng replied lightly.

In fact, how could he have said so lightly that night? Encountering an elephant herd in Africa is more terrible than encountering a lion herd, and it is basically safe to provoke a herd of lions to hide in a car.

Rebecca, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "Actually, I am a volunteer of IVHQ. ”

Xiao Peng originally didn't have a good impression of this Rebecca, who had never spoken, and because of the proximity to Zhu's 'donkey', he always felt that the girl next to Claudia should be as annoying as her, but after hearing her say this, Xiao Peng was impressed.

"You're an IVHQ person? Oh, I've seen a lot of IVHQ volunteers in Africa, and many of them are good!" Xiao Peng gave a thumbs up.

IVHQ is an abbreviation for 'international volunteer HQ'. It is an international volunteer organization dedicated to developing and poor countries. Footprints all over the world. This is especially true for the African continent. In almost more than 50 countries in Africa, there are people with IVHQ. But to be honest, in Xiao Peng's eyes, these are all a group of idlers who have money and nothing to do。。。。。。

Rebecca nodded: "I want to go to the poorest place to have a look, where I can be a teacher, impart knowledge, and change the fate of children in poor areas, I want to use the power of my microblog to change the world." ”

Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this. Rebecca blushed: "What are you laughing at, I really think so." ”

"No, no, don't get me wrong, I'm not laughing at your ideals. Xiao Peng hurriedly waved his hand: "I'm laughing at another thing." ”

What is Xiao Peng laughing at? It is a very famous piece of chicken soup for the soul.

In the basement of Westminster Abbey, there is an unnamed stone tablet that says it was a tombstone from 1100 AD, and photos of the stone tablet can be found online. There is a long list of English written on it, which roughly translates to the following meaning:

When I was younger, my imagination was never limited, and I dreamed of changing the world;

When I matured, I realized that I couldn't change the world, so I shortened my horizons and decided to change only my country;

As I entered the twilight years, I realized that I could not change my country, my last wish was only to change my family;

However, this is also not possible.

As I lay on my bed and was about to die, I suddenly realized:

If I had only changed myself at first, and then as an example, I might have changed my family;

With the help and encouragement of my family, I may be able to do something for the country.

And then...... Who knows? I might even change the world!

This so-called 'inscription' is really very famous! How famous is it? All the pyramid-marketing and direct-marketing organizations use this phrase when they brainwash people, so that people can change every minute from now on. Many people believe this passage and cheer themselves on.

As everyone knows, this passage was made up at all.

First of all, from the perspective of language, in 1100 A.D., the people of the Eagle Country were still speaking Old English, that is, the Anglo-Saxon language, the English grammar at that time was completely different from the current English, and even the letters looked different.

Secondly, at that time, the Church of England was only a piece of the Catholic map, and had not yet become the state religion of the Eagle Kingdom today, if there really was such a dead bishop tombstone, then according to the historical period, this bishop should have experienced the Norman conquest, and it is very likely that he was a Norman French-speaking person from the Norman region of France.

Because at that time, the nobles of the Eagle Country, including the high-ranking clergy, had been replaced by the Normans, and by 1096, all the bishops of the Eagle Country had no English at all, and a Gallic bishop wrote English on the tombstone?

The allusion to this passage is believed because he comes from one of the best-selling books in the world, called "Chicken Soup for the Soul", and the two people who know the best at making chicken soup in the world, Jack Canfield and Mark Hansen.

To put it bluntly, it is a book written by a third-rate actor and a bankrupt poor bastard fool countless people who want to get rich overnight, and in the end, the rich who bought the book don't know if they are rich, this third-rate actor and this bankrupt poor bastard have indeed become top billionaires.

In particular, Mark Hansen, the bankrupt and poor man, is called "one of the world's top five speakers" together with Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", Matthew Schwei, the hypnotist, Anthony Robin, and the success guru, Anthony Robin, and Trump, who is now the president of the Stars and Stripes.

And this story is exactly what Mark Hansen made up。。。。。。 Rebecca's words reminded Xiao Peng of this, and he naturally laughed.

When Rebecca knew the reason for Xiao Peng's laughter, she looked at Xiao Peng: "What?, Xiao, you don't seem to like those chicken soup for the soul and success?"

Xiao Peng smiled and did not deny it: "That's right, I do dislike the so-called 'success learning', in my eyes, all the people who listen to the explanation of success learning are real losers." ”

"Oh, why do you say that?" asked Rebecca, curious.

Xiao Peng explained: "The so-called success science, with a more vivid description, is that someone around you has been telling you that there is wealth in the sea, you can make a fortune when you go to the sea, so that you are ready to move after listening, and you can't wait to plunge into the sea to find wealth, when you really go into the sea, only to find that the people who told you to go to the sea did not tell you how to swim at all, what are the dangers in the sea." In the end, no one can guarantee that you will find wealth, but those who explain the science of success have already made a lot of money. ”

The people around listened to Xiao Peng's words thoughtfully. Of course, whether they accept Xiao Peng's point of view or not is not something that Xiao Peng can worry about.

After all, everyone's way of understanding is different, those successful entrepreneurs and businessmen stand on the podium and say a few words casually, that is, 'success learning', they will let their subordinates listen to 'success learning', one by one as if they were beaten for their own work, but they themselves will never listen to the so-called 'success learning'.

Because they know that no two people's methods of success are completely identical! A truly successful person is a person who adheres to his own path, not a person who follows the crowd!

Xiao Peng changed the subject: "Rebecca, right? Since you are from IVHQ, have you paid the money, and where did you participate in the project?"

Well, yes, if you want to volunteer at IVHQ, you have to pay first! and it's not cheap. That's why Xiao Peng said that IVHQ is a group of rich and idle people.

There are many different volunteer programs at IVHQ, and the fees you need to pay are different depending on the project and region, so if you want to volunteer at IVHQ, you must first determine the volunteer program you are participating in and pay the registration fee.

The registration fee is not a small number and includes airfare, insurance, and homestay.

Some people think that this can be used as a volunteer opportunity to travel, for example, to participate in a volunteer project in a tourist attraction such as Bali? Come on, that's a lot of thinking.

Volunteer projects like this in tourist attractions will never be in a fun place, but in some inland and remote place, and the accommodation is also poor, and the food is poor, don't think that participating in this IVHQ is to go out to be an uncle. It's much more expensive than traveling!

Rebecca said: "I haven't chosen a project yet, I want to go to Ghana to see, have you been to Accra?"

Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this: "Accra, the capital of Ghana." I also visited the IVHQ gathering place there. ”

Rebecca wondered, "Oh? What kind of place is that?"

Xiao Peng summed up the language and replied: "In a large courtyard on the outskirts of Accra, the owner of the house is a wealthy local man, and two servants work there, and the IVHQ volunteers in Ghana are mainly one, taking care of orphanages in various places. ”

"Orphanage?" Rebecca asked.

Xiao Peng nodded: "In Ghana, there are many places similar to villages, and it is impossible to talk about cities, at least not what we imagine the city to be, and there is no infrastructure, it is more like a regional unit composed of many villages." And in every such place there will be orphanages. These orphanages were all set up by foreign charitable funds. Children are between the ages of 3 and 17 and leave the orphanage at the age of 18 to find a way to live on their own. ”

"Where are the many orphans?" asked Rebecca, puzzled.

Xiao Peng nodded: "You may pick it up when you walk on the side of the road, and there are also parents who can't afford to send them directly to orphanages, anyway, most orphans sent to orphanages are almost dying, and the people who help in these orphanages are mainly hired people and IVHQ volunteers." ”

Rebecca looked at her: "How great are the IVHQ volunteers?"

Xiao Peng snorted: "Generally speaking, you can't stay for a few days and can't run, but anyway, there are many people in IVHQ, one goes today, and there are three queues behind, one by one, they are ambitious, and after three or five days, only crying dad is left to find his mother." ”

Rebecca: "。。。。。。 ”

She really wanted to ask Xiao Peng: Do you know how to chat?
