Section VII
Zhu Youxiang suppressed his excitement and asked, "Excuse me, Gongzi Xu, what dynasty is your country ruled by?" Who is the current emperor? What do you call the era name? β
"This dynasty? Oh, this dynasty is a people's republic, we don't have an emperor, and the era name is two thousand and fourteen A.D. β
The girl was stunned: "There is no emperor?" How does this make it, in that case, not the world go into chaos? Then, she nodded again and said with a smile: "However, without a king and without a father, it is indeed a barbarian state, and the sages are honest and do not deceive me." In her reserved smile, there was a hint of arrogance, and there was also an inexplicable arrogance and contempt in her eyes when she looked at Xu Yan.
This girl is so weird, Xu Yan has given up the possibility of communicating with her. He pressed the remote control and casually transferred a few channels, but there were no good programs, so Xu Yan simply went to watch the DVD. He casually rummaged through the cabinet and found a few pirated blockbusters that he bought back from the last time he visited the computer city, and he randomly selected one of them, but it was the fourth episode of "Transformers".
He turned around and asked Zhu Youxiang: "Miss Zhu, "Transformers 4", you haven't seen this yet, have you?" β
Zhu Youxiang shook his head: "Transfiguration-King Kong?" What is it? β
"This is the latest American science fiction movie, there is no Chinese version yet, you can only watch Chinese subtitles. This, Miss Zhu, you should be able to read words, right? β
As soon as the words came out, Xu Yan couldn't wait to slap himself - although this girl looked a little strange, but she didn't want to casually suspect that people were illiterate, okay?
Sure enough, after listening to Xu Yan's words, Zhu Youxiang changed color slightly, but she was not angry, she just smiled faintly, so calm that there was no trace of fireworks: "It made Xu Gongzi smile, the little woman has been studying the way of cultivation since she was a child, and she is not in-depth in the sage book, but I remember that the little girl also read the "Book of Filial Piety", "University", "Daughter's Classic" when she was young, and also practiced "Analects", "Mencius", "The Mean", as for the "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Rites", "Zhou Yi", "Zhou Li" and "Spring and Autumn" and other books, The little woman can only be said to be slightly dabbled in - I am very shallow in the attainments of Wenzhi, if I meet the Hongru master, the little woman will naturally admit that she is inferior. β
Zhu Youxiang's words were obviously modest, but they were actually showing off, and he also sarcastically mocked Xu Yan with a gun and a stick - just with you, a native of a barbarian country, are embarrassed to question the knowledge of me, a noble man of the Heavenly Empire?
It's a pity that Zhu Youxiang's well-planned performance was done for the blind to see-Xu Yan couldn't understand what she was talking about at all, and when he heard Zhu Youxiang say the names of a lot of ancient books, it sounded like it was very powerful, and he nodded casually: "Oh, Miss Zhu, you are literate, that's it!" Then let's watch a movie~"
Zhu Youxiang: "......"
"Transformers 4" started - but soon, Xu Yan regretted playing this movie, because since the beginning of the movie, Zhu Youxiang has been squeaking in his ear, and all kinds of messy problems have not been interrupted at all.
"Xu Gongzi, aren't those blonde and blue-eyed people the lustful people recorded in ancient books? It turns out that on your side, are there any people with colored eyes left? β
"Those people? They are American......"
"Huh? Obviously he is a lustful person, why do you say that he is an American? Xu Gongzi, what is the United States? β
ββ¦β¦ Watch the movie, watch the movie! Read on and you'll find out. β
After another five minutes, Zhu Youxiang began to be angry again: "Young Master Xu, look at those lustful women, they really don't know shame, they dress so revealingly, and they scratch their heads at men...... Ah, she still has to be on the street with a man...... Lustful barbarians, sure enough, barbarians! Barbarian mother-in-law, I really don't know how to be honest, I really can't stand it! β
Xu Yan glanced at Zhu Youxiang - Zhu Youxiang's face was flushed, her eyes were shining with excitement, she said "I can't stand it", but her figure was still sitting on the sofa dignifiedly, but she didn't mean to get up and avoid it at all.
Xu Yan pursed his lips, thinking to himself, sister, you are too duplicitous, right?
After more than an hour, the movie gradually entered the ** part, the Autobots and Decepticons began to fight fiercely, the sky was full of fighter jets, lasers and missiles flying all over the sky, and the human army began to fight fiercely with the Transformers, vigorously, overwhelmingly, the city was instantly turned into ruins, the mountains were blown flat, and the fierce sound and light effects shook the whole room buzzing - I believe that students who have watched the Transformers series of movies will have this feeling, the US military in the movie is really exaggerated to the point of explosion, He was able to fight against the transformation machine that flew across the universe, and even had the upper hand for a while!
From the beginning of the battle scene, Zhu Youxiang stopped questioning, she sat motionless on the sofa, staring intently at the images on the TV screen, her eyes were round, and she was still muttering in a low voice: "Such a mighty person, even if Jindan is a real person, it's just like that......"
"Oh my God, the barbarians still have such a magic weapon that destroys the world and the earth, it's really terrifying!" β¦β¦
Xu Yan didn't want to pay attention to her, but Zhu Youxiang was muttering non-stop over there, Xu Yan really couldn't stand it, he couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zhu, what are you talking about?" β
Hearing Xu Yan's voice, Zhu Youxiang turned around - seeing her, Xu Yan was startled: in just ten minutes, the face of the girl in front of her had become very pale, as if she had been greatly frightened.
She smiled at Xu Yan reluctantly: "Gongzi Xu, it's okay - it's just that I don't know something, and I want to ask Gongzi: Is this so-called American country also a country in your land?" β
"The United States? Of course, the United States is definitely one of the countries on our planet. β
"Earth? Childe, what is the earth? β
"Earth-well, that's what we call our world......"
"I see-" Zhu Youxiang said very smartly, "I think the so-called 'earth' in your land has the same meaning as the 'Kyushu' and 'world' that we call over there." So, I would like to ask my son, how many countries are there in your land? β
"I haven't counted them, but I've heard that there are a hundred or so many countries on Earth - I don't remember how many."
"More than a hundred countries!!" Zhu Youxiang's eyes were full of fear when she looked at Xu Yan, and her voice trembled slightly: "And the country of America is ......."
Xu Yan said casually: "Naturally, it is one of the more than 100 countries!" β
Zhu Youxiang and her friends were stunned.
Well, from then on, the world was completely quiet - from this moment until the end of the movie, Zhu Youxiang was expressionless, pursed her lips tightly, and her expression was so strict that she seemed to be attending a memorial service, so that Xu Yan thought that something was wrong with her, and looked back at her several times.
After the movie ended, Xu Yan looked up at the wall clock on the wall, it was almost eleven o'clock, and he also felt a little sleepy: "Miss Zhu, it's late at night, aren't you resting?" β
Zhu Youxiang looked blank, and after a long while, she bowed her head slightly and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy, and I don't want to go to bed yet." Zhu Gongzi, you go and rest first, if it doesn't hinder your rest, I want to continue to stay here and watch this...... Uh, watching this TV, I wonder if it's okay? β
"Hehe, if you want to watch TV, just turn down the voice, or the next door neighbor will have an opinion - but it's so late, you don't seem to be interested in just watching commercials, right? So, there are a few more discs here, so if you're interested, bring them to yourself. β
Xu Yan taught Zhu Youxiang how to use a TV and a DVD, and the latter was very smart, and he understood it after watching Xu Yan use it once. Xu Yan rummaged through the box and took a few DVDs for her, all of which were just popular movies, and then he yawned and said "good night" and went to sleep in his bedroom.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day was Saturday, and Xu Yan slept until more than eight o'clock before waking up dimly. Xu Yan rinsed his mouth and washed his face in the bathroom of his room, and only after washing did he go out to the hall, he greeted the girl: "Hi, morning!" β
Listening to Xu Yan's voice, Zhu Youxiang's body trembled, she turned around and smiled at Xu Yan reluctantly: "Young Master Xu, good morning." β
Transformers were still playing on the screen, Xu Yan walked over and touched it, the TV and DVD player were hot, he frowned and said, "Miss Zhu, shouldn't you stay up all night last night to watch this?" β
The girl smiled reluctantly and said lightly, "It's okay, I'm not sleepy." Although she was smiling, for some reason, she seemed very anxious and preoccupied.
"Your face is very bad...... What's wrong? β
Zhu Youxiang looked at the TV screen, then at Xu Yan, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally shook his head: "It's nothing." β
Xu Yan stared at her for a moment and asked tentatively, "Is there something going on at home?" β
"I have been bothered by Mr. Lao, and since I arrived here, I have no contact with my family - please rest assured, I am fine."
Xu Yan frowned: Everyone chatted before going to bed last night, why did she wake up like an eggplant beaten by frost? No matter how you look at it, the girl in front of her doesn't look like "very good", but since the other party said so, it's inconvenient for him to ask again.
"Alright then, if there's something you need help with, you tell me - uh, maybe it won't help much, but I'm at least a local, and I know both people and places, so maybe it's useful."
"Thank you, childe, don't worry, I'm fine."
"That's good. By the way, do you eat breakfast? I'll go down and buy buns and soy milk for you. β
Zhu Youxiang nodded slowly, still looking worried, Xu Yan couldn't do anything about her, turned around and walked towards the door. In the breakfast shop downstairs, he bought double portions of steamed buns and soy milk and packed them upstairs, and when he ate breakfast, the girl didn't say a word from beginning to end, her brows were tightly locked, as if she was thinking about a very serious question.
After eating breakfast, Xu Yan was about to clean up the tableware, and Zhu Youxiang stopped him. The girl pondered, as if she had made up a lot of determination, and she said slowly: "Xu Gongzi, there is something I want to ask you ......."
Xu Yan's first reaction was that this girl wanted to borrow money from herself, because the dead fat man put on this kind of face every time he didn't have enough living expenses to find himself to eat at the end of the month, but he immediately reacted: What is stupid? There are so many gold ingots hidden in people's sleeves that they can stone you to death, and this real Bai Fumei will ask you to borrow money?
There are always idiots in the world who like to shout that all men are created equal, and this kind of beautiful words are similar to farting. In Xu Yan's view, all people are born unequal, which is the truth of the world. Not to mention anything else, if Zhu Youxiang was not such a beautiful woman but a strong man with five big and three thick, if she was not so rich but a beggar for food, would he take her home for the night so reassuringly? Aren't you afraid that someone will stab you to death in the middle of the night and empty your home?
Therefore, people like the rich and hate the poor, and the dislike of the poor and the love of the rich is not necessarily covetous, but just to have a sense of security -- when have you ever heard of multimillionaires coming to rob their homes?
"Xu Gongzi, Xu Gongzi?"
"Oh, it's all rightβyou say, is there anything I can do to help?"
"I want to ask, how many soldiers and horses do they have in the country of America, the ...... of the Emirate of America in the video that Childe showed me last night?"
Rao is Xu Yan's imagination is rich, he can't guess that Zhu Youxiang has been grinding for most of the day and asking such an inappropriate question. He was dumbfounded: "How many soldiers and horses does the United States have?" What does this have to do with us? You...... Why did you suddenly ask about this? β
Zhu Youxiang observed him cautiously, and seeing Xu Yan's surprised expression, she hurriedly said, "Master Xu, don't worry, if this matter is confidential, then I didn't say hello." β
Xu Yan couldn't cry or laugh: "What kind of secret is this, you wait." β
He went back to the bedroom, turned on the computer, checked the Internet, and came out to tell Zhu Youxiang: "What I searched on Baidu said that the total strength of the United States was 1.46 million, including 500,000 in the army, 350,000 in the navy and air force, and 180,000 in the marines. The U.S. Army is divided into ten combat divisions and four separate brigades and armored cavalry regiments; The Navy is organized into five fleets, with a total of 12 aircraft carrier battle groups, 11 amphibious readiness groups, 59 attack submarines, 111 warships, and 10 carrier-based aircraft wings. The Air Force is organized into 20 U.S. flying wings, each with about 74 fighters; The Marine Corps is composed of three divisions and three logistics support groups, equipped with three flying wings -- well, that's all you can find, why do you ask this? β
