Chapter 13: I just fiddled with it

Before, due to the distance, Liu Fang did not hear the conversation of Sophie and other foreigners, but at this moment, the two were talking in front of him, Liu Fang heard very clearly, and he couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart: there are many words in the foreign language they speak that are similar to English, but not English, if nothing else, they should speak French, which means that most of them are French. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

A lot of the grammar and words in English come from French, and to some extent, French is one of the native English languages, and it will be much easier to learn English as long as you learn French well. Liu Fang spent all the year digesting the content memorized in the library, and he still has some understanding of this.

Some of the books in the library are distributed by the government, some are purchased by the school itself, the rest are donated by the society, and a very small number of books are purchased by the teachers themselves and then shared in the library.

As a result, these books cover a wide range of books, including those that are only used in universities, including an English teacher who bought a book that details the main formation of the English language, and tells the relationship between English and French, as well as other languages, which is why Liu Fang was able to hear that Sophie and Taylor were from France.

"I ...... I'm not called Hanako......"

Liu Fang understood what Taylor said about the word Hanako, and the child's strong self-esteem made him can't help but defend himself.

Taylor and Sophie looked at each other when they heard this, and then Sophie was shocked and said, "You...... Can you understand what we just said? ”

"You guys were using French, right? I only know English, but many of the words and grammar in English are from French, so I can understand some French as well, and that's why I surmised that you were speaking French. ”

Liu Fang saw that Sophie's attitude was quite friendly, so he became a little bolder and said such a long list of words in one breath.

"Oh, I see, how old are you?"

"I'm eight years old."

"At the age of eight, you can master a foreign language proficiently, and also- has you ever touched this thing?"

Sophie raised the Rubik's Cube in her hand in front of Liu Fang as she spoke, and Liu was relieved to sink: It's over, the other party really came to me for compensation!

"This ...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just happened to see this thing, and out of curiosity, I fiddled with it for a while......"

Liu Fang's voice became quieter the more he spoke, and his head also drooped, and then he saw his toes exposed outside the shoes, and a sense of inferiority instantly rose, making him feel embarrassed, Liu retracted his toes, trying to retract them back into the shoes, and his action was immediately noticed by Sophie.

Sophie saw Liu Fang's embarrassment, and she showed a very sensible expression: "Actually, you don't need to be so inferior, poverty is not the original sin, laziness is." ”

It was hard to imagine that these words would come out of the mouth of a little girl, Liu Fang had never met such a peer before, and when he heard this, he looked up at Sophie, his eyes full of surprise.

Sophie gave Liu Fang an encouraging smile, and then asked, "You just said that you just fiddled with this thing out of curiosity, do you know what it is?" ”

Liu Fang shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Sophie was a little skeptical of Liu Fang's words, the third-order Rubik's cube was not so easy to fiddle with, in order to verify whether Liu Fang was lying, she immediately messed up the small squares of the Rubik's cube, and then handed it to Liu Fang: "I want to see with my own eyes how you fiddle with it, can you show me on the spot?" ”

"Of course there's no problem with that."

Liu Fang felt that Sophie looked good, and he was at fault first, so he agreed to the other party's request.

Immediately, Liu Fang took the Rubik's Cube and began to rotate, because of the tense relationship, Liu Fang spent more than forty seconds to restore the Rubik's Cube.

Sophie and Taylor watched intently from the sidelines, and when they saw that Liu Fang really had this ability, their faces showed disbelief.

Liu Fang handed the restored Rubik's Cube to Sophie, but when he looked up, he found that the two foreigners were all staring at him with strange eyes.

Sophie came back to her senses first, she took the Rubik's Cube, blinked her big blue eyes and asked, "Have you really not touched the Rubik's Cube before?" ”

"It's really not, it turns out that this thing is called a Rubik's Cube."

"In that case, how did you crack the Rubik's Cube?"

"I have cracked it through calculation and research, and after my calculation and research, the total number of changes in the Rubik's Cube can be as many as about 4.3 times 10 to the 19th power, and at least it only needs to be rotated 20 times to make all its colors regular."

Sophie looked at Liu Fang dumbfounded, her whole brain was blank, she didn't expect this ragged exotic little boy to be so powerful, in such a short time, he studied himself for two months, but he didn't come up with any rules The third-order Rubik's Cube was cracked, is this kid still a human?

Sophie still expressed deep doubts about this, not because she couldn't see others smarter than herself, but because it was so unbelievable that no matter who it was, it was hard to believe that an eight-year-old child could find out the rules of the Rubik's Cube so quickly with his own ability.

Sophie thought of a possibility, and she turned to Taylor and said, "Uncle Taylor, go and get back the book you threw away, I want to see if he has read it." ”

Sophie noticed that Liu Fang's hands were covered in mud, and as long as he read the book, he would leave handprints on the pages, so that he could make the matter clear.

Hearing this, Taylor looked at Liu Fang, who was in tattered clothes, as if he was worried that after he left, this little Chinese boy named Hanako would do something unfavorable to Sophie.

Sophie saw Taylor's concerns, and she waved her little fist: "Don't worry, my self-defense skills are not learned in vain. ”

Taylor hummed and turned to leave. Because the two spoke French, Liu Fang didn't understand much, he saw Sophie waving his fist at him, he couldn't help but show a look of fear, Liu Fang, who had never fought with anyone, was very unconfident in himself, even in the face of Sophie, who was younger than himself, he also felt afraid.

Sophie tilted her little head and looked at Liu Fang, in her eyes, this little Chinese boy was so funny, not to mention anything else, the fear shown by the other party alone made Sophie feel extremely funny.

Sophie said: Chinese children are really timid, or they are very honest, which is completely different from the children in other countries I have seen, and I don't know how they develop this character?
