Chapter IV
The man sat on a chair in a daze, keeping his head still.
The woman, holding a large pair of scissors in her hand, stood behind him, crouched down, and cut his hair.
If she could observe closely, she could see that the man's eyes were glazed and his expression was strange.
ββ¦β¦ This hairstyle is really bad, it's like a starvation in a Republic of China movie, you don't need to wear makeup, your hair is dirty enough, you are called Hanako? β
Julia cut for a long time, and finally put down the scissors satisfied.
"Well, it looks a lot better that way."
She reached out again and touched the back of Yin Zhen's head, there was a piece there that she had cut too much, it looked like it was bald, she hesitated for a while, and then said slightly apologetically, "Some places are not cut well...... Alas, Daddy was never picky, and he said yes when I shaved him into a gourd scoop. You see, if he doesn't give advice, I can't improve. Don't be too picky, no one sees the back of your head except me and my father. β
After saying that, she went to look at the man's face, only to be frightened by his fossil-like expression!
"Hey! What happened to you?! Why is your face so bad! Be...... What's uncomfortable?! Cassava poisoning? Or is that Thai rice really spoiled?! Fuck me, I shouldn't be greedy for this cheap! β
Julia just wanted to turn around and go to the living room, but she didn't expect to be grabbed by Yin Zhen's arm!
"Miss Zhu......"
"I said that my surname is not Zhu!" Julia couldn't help but laugh, "Why do you have to give me the surname Ann?" Call the name directly! β
The man had to change his tune.
ββ¦β¦ Julia," he said in a hoarse voice, "Daqing...... Really dead? β
Julia was stunned, she didn't expect the other party to ask such a question!
"Otherwise, what else do you want?" She looked cautiously at the man named Yin Zhen, and in the dim candlelight, Julia noticed that his eyes were slightly red.
As for it!
"How is this possible!" Yin Zhen said hoarsely, "Okay, it's still the prosperous age of Heqing Haiyan...... How could it have died! β
Julia couldn't laugh or cry.
"How can you die? You go and ask the Eight-Nation Alliance, or you go to ask the Empress Dowager Cixi, and then you go to ask Sun Yat-sen. Ask me why? Should it die? β
"Nonsense!" The man suddenly shouted, "Who said that the Qing Dynasty is dead?!" If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful that I peel your skin! β
When Julia heard this, she was furious!
She pressed Yin Zhen's forehead hard and pressed the tip of the scissors against his throat!
"Believe it or not, I poke it in?!"
She shouted violently, and the man didn't dare to move!
"I didn't bring you back to make you domineering!" Julia poked the scissors in, "I'm not careful, but you can give me a little restraint!" If you provoke me again, don't blame me for being unkind! β
Seeing that the other party had softened, Julia put down the scissors.
The man lowered his head for a long time before he whispered, "I want to know...... What happened. β
"You want to know something, I can tell you." Julia struggled to suppress the fire, "But you have to watch your attitude!" Do I owe you anything? β
Yin Zhen endured it for a long time before asking again: "What did you say just now...... What do you mean when you say that the Qing Dynasty is dead? Why do you say that? β
"I say that because it's dead." Julia said stupidly, "It's been a hundred or two hundred years since the Qing Dynasty fell, and the old people are dead. β
"It's been a hundred or two hundred years since I died?!" The man's expression was like swallowing an atomic bomb.
"You do the math yourself." Julia snapped her fingers and said, "The 1911 Xinhai Revolution." I remember that when the centennial celebration was celebrated with great fanfare, the TV station did a lot of commemorative programs, otherwise I would not remember this time. Then, now is the twenty-first century, so if you count it, it has been more than a hundred years. β
The man's expression is even more silly!
"In 1911?" He muttered, "What year was that?" β
Julia stuck: "1911...... It's 1911, what year could it be? β
"No, I mean ......" Yin Zhen seemed to spit out a few words with difficulty: "I want to ask, this ...... That's right! Julia, do you know Kangxi? β
Julia nodded: "Yes, he is the emperor." β
As soon as he heard this, Yin Zhen became energetic: "Great, then let me ask you, the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, which year is it for you people?" β
Julia immediately noticed the contempt in Yin Zhen's tone, and she snorted uncomfortably, "What do you call 'you people'?" β
Sensing the other party's displeasure, Yin Zhen woke up for a moment and hurriedly said: "Oh, I mean, the year 1911 you just said must be an era name, right?" I don't know which generation it is? β
"Not in any dynasty or generation." Julia snorted and threw down the scissors, "It's the Zombie Dynasty now, damn it, it's full of zombies!" β
Seeing that the man was still dumbfounded, Julia became impatient: "What the hell do you want to know?" β
The man worked hard for a long time, and finally raised his head again: "Let's put it this way, I want to know how far it is from the forty-seventh year of Kangxi now." β
Julia was stunned: "Forty-seven years of Kangxi? What lifetime was that? You want to know what this boring thing is for? β
Yin Zhen wanted to get angry again when she said it, but he obviously remembered the lesson just now, so he had to suppress his anger and swallow his anger and said, "I...... I just want to know. β
Seeing that he was so persistent, Julia couldn't help it: "Okay, then you wait for me to calculate." β
She crouched down, thought for a moment, and then used her scissors to draw a few numbers on the ground.
After a while, she raised her head: "I can't remember exactly how many years, but it should be roughly around three hundred years." β
"Three hundred years?!" The man jumped up from his chair, "How could it be so long!" You...... How do you count! β
"It's simple."
Julia made two more strokes on the ground: "I remember that Newton's Principia Mathematica of Natural Philosophy, written in 1687, was a great book, in which he proposed the three fundamental laws of classical mechanics and the law of gravitation...... Do you understand? β
The man stared blankly: "Who is Newton?" β
Julia rolled her eyes.
"You don't care who he is, I remember when I was flipping through this book in my dormitory, and a classmate next to me was holding a notebook to watch the finale of "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang". I have forgotten the names and faces of my classmates, so I can't provide you with a valid ID. But when I finished reading the last page and closing the book, it just so happened that she also typed the subtitles for the end of the play. I remember her joking that Hyo-jo died in the year Newton's book was written, so the two of us behaved a bit like Jung's synchronicity. β
After she said this, she looked up at the man in front of her, Yin Zhen was still staring, as if he didn't understand a word.
Julia was discouraged, thinking, why did she save this idiot herself? Let's talk so much, I didn't understand a word.
But after all, it was difficult to say, so she continued to say patiently: "You see, Xiaozhuang died in 1687, and I vaguely remember that Xiaozhuang was a very early character. Come to think of it, Kangxi should be after her, right? Be...... After that, right? Was it before? β
Yin Zhen hurriedly said: "After that! β
"Is it her son or her grandson or great-grandson?"
A wry smile appeared on Yin Zhen's face: "It's her grandson." β
Julia nodded, "That's right." Then add forty years, and how can it be the eighteenth century. Even if it was 1700, it has been more than 300 years so far. β
"You're not mistaken?" The man looked at her infatuatedly.
Julia looked at him calmly, "I think my elementary school arithmetic skills should still be intact." β
"What...... What do you mean? β
"This means that children under the age of ten can tell you this answer."
After she answered, I saw this man suddenly hold his head and cry!
The man cried for a long time.
During this time, Julia did not know what to do, she was not good at yelling at him, and she was not used to comforting himβshe had never comforted a man who was crying.
So Julia had no choice but to pull a chair over and sit next to him silently with him.
Did you say something wrong? Julia looked down and folded her fingers, and thought to herself, what the hell did she say to stimulate people like this? Didn't she just say that the Qing Dynasty had fallen? She didn't say that the earth was going to perish.
She can now confirm that she has picked up a weirdo.
When the man had cried enough, and only a slight choking remained, Julia sighed and stood up.
"The washbasin is in the bathroom," she said, pushing his shoulder, whispering, "go wash your face." β
Yin Zhen stood up silently and walked towards the bathroom.
After a while, he washed his face and came back with red and swollen eyes and nose.
Julia stood up and pulled him to the mirror, where she carefully wiped her hair with a wet towel.
"Something very sad happened?" She asked lightly.
Yin Zhen lowered his eyes and didn't say anything.
"Get some sleep, eat something tomorrow and you'll be fine." Julia said.
After a while, Yin Zhen shook his head: "No." β
ββ¦β¦β
"It's all over." He hung his head and continued, "It's all over. β
Julia looked at him, and then, she lowered the towel in her hand and picked up his arm.
"You touch, is your pulse still beating?"
The man looked at her inexplicably.
"Since you're still jumping, it means you're still alive." Julia calmly said, "As long as you live, there are infinite possibilities." It's true to be dead, and everything is over. β
Her simple words seemed to shock the other party, and his expression changed a little.
"Okay, when you're done crying, cut off your cowardice." Julia's tone became heavier, and her hand pressed Yin Zhen's shoulder, "Did you hear that?" From now on, you must not cry any more. β
The man lowered his head, and after a long time, he said "um".
"It's getting late, let's go to bed first." Julia nudged him, "What's there, I'll talk about it when I go to bed tomorrow." β
She brought Yin Zhen into the bedroom just now, and then told him to turn his back and face the wall.
"What?" Yin Zhen looked back at her in surprise.
"I'm going to take off my clothes." Julia said, "You can't let me sleep in a leather suit." β
Yin Zhen was even more surprised: "You want to sleep here?!" β
"Where do I sleep if I don't sleep here?"
"That'...... So where do I sleep? β
"You sleep here, too." Julia walked over and slammed his face against the wall, "Just this one bed." But don't worry, the two of them can sleep well. β
Despite facing the wall, Yin Zhen was still asking, "...... But how can we sleep in the same bed! There is a difference between men and women, you and I don't know each other! β
"Really? If you're not happy, find your own place. Julia climbed onto the bed, "There's a couch in the living room, and if you're not too coldβwell, you can turn it around." β
Yin Zhen turned his face, still surprised: "But how can you let me sleep on that...... What's that......"
"Sofa."
"That's right! Sand...... Hair! It's that long black thing, right? Like a coffin, how can you let me sleep with that thing! β
Julia sat on the bed, looked at him silently, and then said coldly: "Do you like to sleep or not." β
She rolled over and lay down.
Realizing that his protest was completely ineffective, Yin Zhen reluctantly walked to the bed and carefully lifted the quilt and got in.
"I'm a man, you're a woman, and I'm ...... I'm ......."
"What are you?" Julia turned her face sideways and looked at him, "Immortals? Monster? Thank you. β
Yin Zhen was annoyed for a while: "All in all, men and women sleep in the same bed without knowing each other, this is not a system!" β
Julia nodded: "I agree, it's really unorthodox, so you can go sleep on the couch, I won't stop you." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Speaking of which, you're trying to get me out of bed." Julia sarcastically said, "Don't forget, whose territory is here, you don't want to get an inch." β
was hit by her words to the core, and the man stopped ringing.
"You are so casual, you break the rules, and you can't marry in the future!" Yin Zhen suddenly said indignantly.
Julia laughed instead of being angry.
"Since I slept with you all night, I can't marry in the future, and the responsibility is on you." She said stupidly, "You can't shirk your responsibility." β
Yin Zhen was so frightened by her that his face changed!
Julia saw his horror, and she snorted, "No good!" Look at your little guts, who sparsely scares you! β
Yin Zhen realized that she was joking, and he was also annoyed: "Don't worry, all the women in the world are dead, and I won't marry you!" β
Julia turned over and looked at him in amazement: "Huh? What the? So you're a stirrger? β
"I'm not called a chicken, I'm not a duck, I'm human!" Yin Zhen simply covered the quilt and ignored her anymore.
