Chapter Twenty-Eight: Something Isn't Right

Isn't it said that life is not lacking in beauty, what is lacking is discovery, in the same way, in these days guarded by the big crabs, fun is not without fun, as long as you are willing to make, even as a prisoner can find superiority.

What's more, for Xiao An, at least she still has a companion to accompany her here, although it is not much, but it is enough as a comfort. Perhaps because of this, everyone is more aware of the importance of unity, because they find that those crabs have an extraordinary unity. Therefore, the enemy is already united, and still has not revealed any weaknesses, and if you don't want to do it again, it will be even more difficult to escape from their control.

But how can we send signals to each other under the noses of the enemy every day? At first, Hans proposed to use code, but everyone rejected it, code is already the universal communication method on the earth, it has long been no secret, how can you use this to fool those crabs? It is estimated that only I may be really fooled by then, and those crabs are at most just pretending to be fools for a while, and they will never really be able to crack this little meaning.

Later, some people thought of several solutions, but the results were abandoned one by one because they could not stand the test of time, until in the end, everyone invented an interconnected language that is only suitable for and exists only among a few people. In fact, there is nothing special about these languages, but they just use some superficially uninteresting words to refract or cover some secrets, so that even if they are discovered by crabs, they are difficult to decipher.

This reminds Ann of the joke: the importance of mastering a foreign language. If everyone can speak a language that they can understand each other but the crabs can't, wouldn't the crabs be helpless? She remembered that during the Anti-Japanese War, although the Japanese army also killed innocents indiscriminately, it was impossible to be in that state all the time, and most of the time they also knew that they could not just use the world as a slaughterhouse, so sometimes they needed to fight with them.

But how do you fight? Of course, there are many ways to do this, but it is said that one of them is that our army often looks for people who are good at dialects, which are usually accented or difficult to understand, and speak them almost like foreign languages. But if you want to learn it, it may be more difficult to learn than a foreign language. And even if Wenzhou dialect is one of them, it is even ranked very high in it, and it did not contribute to our army in military affairs back then.

This. Although Xiao An has never experienced that era of war, he also has a deep understanding of the difficulty of Wenzhou dialect.

It may be the influence of the environment that made Xiao An very interested in the various dialects of his motherland since he was a child. I don't know if it is because of this that she will also have a strong interest in regional civilizations outside her motherland in the future. China is huge. There have been major migrations in history, but most of them are due to wars, famines, and even government policies issued out of various needs, so over the years, most dialects have been well preserved, so there are great differences between local dialects. But when it comes to difficulty, it seems that the words spoken by friends in the south are more difficult to understand, especially Wenzhou dialect.

Xiao An himself has made a comparison, Cantonese should be regarded as a very unique dialect, but with Chaoshan dialect, it is closer to Mandarin. And if you want to follow the dictionary. It's not hard to learn to be more attentive. This Wenzhou dialect alone can't be overcome by saying anything, so she can't figure it out. It stands to reason that Wenzhou people like to do business, so there are Wenzhou people all over the world, and it is not an exaggeration to say that as long as you are willing, you will meet a friend of Wenzhou when you go out. I can't learn a word.

"Ann, what are you thinking?" Realizing that Xiao An had already been out of the gods for a long time, Keya asked her curiously.

"Well, I'm discovering the fun here!" She smiled.

"What? Fun? Still having fun here? Hurry up and tell us. Share it with us! As she spoke, there was more brilliance in Keya's eyes.

"Well, it's not all from here, most of it is my imagination. By the way, Keya, how many dialects do you know? ”

"Dialects?" Keya was a little puzzled. "You mean, you just wandered because you were thinking about tongues?"

"Well," Xiao An nodded, "I wonder if there are any other languages we can use to communicate besides the ones we use now." I thought, if the crabs understand the language we use now, do we have to develop a new language as soon as possible? ”

Now Keya understood, it turned out that Xiao An had been studying linguistics for half a day, and she smiled all of a sudden, but this smile only lasted for a few seconds before she immediately froze again, and this time she was puzzled by Xiao An.

"What's wrong? What comes to mind? ”

"Xiao An, how many crabs do you think there should be here?" Khaya threw this question at her.

"That's hard to say, a planet is very big, not to mention that this is still a constellation, who knows how many crabs are raised here!" Dissatisfied with being imprisoned by those crabs for a long time, although he knew that the crabs were the owners here, Xiao An still deliberately joked like this.

"Well, have you ever wondered why other planets don't have this situation since there are thousands of languages spoken by humans on our planet? Think about it, these crabs who are holding us now speak the same language because they want to convey information that we can understand, but what if people themselves connect with each other in private? Do you still use certain lingua franca as you take care of us? Soβ€”"

"So, you're saying that let's not think about how to fool and fool them in front of them, but also consider whether they are also plotting against us behind the scenes, right?" Xiao An understood Keya's thoughts.

"That's right! That's what I'm going to say! Haha, Xiao An, thanks to you, I really found a pleasure because of you! Keya, who was still worried just now, actually became radiant again, to say that her thinking changed quickly, "In the past few days, if it wasn't for you all the time, I really don't know how to survive." You also know that we girls are all for the sake of pleasing ourselves, but now that I am imprisoned here all day, how stinky and beautiful. Fortunately, you reminded me and gave me a new pleasure in the future, that is, listening to the crabs' conversations every day, and trying to crack their secrets as soon as possible! ”

yes, I didn't think of that!

Xiao An has to admire Keya's intelligence and ambition, as long as there are the right conditions. Keya can take root wherever it goes. The reason why I was a little sluggish during this period of time was also because of a temporary discomfort. And now she has been inspired to study the psychology of crabs, which has to be said to be a very bold move. Not that it's dangerous. But at the moment, there are only a few people who can help her, not to mention that everyone is not a multi-professional person, and if you want to succeed, the difficulty factor should be very large.

War years. At that time, the motherland was so difficult, but it was not difficult to find a translator. Because a country has such a large population, there will definitely be people who have gone abroad to study, and it should not be difficult to find a few more patriotic and capable people among them who can participate. But now here, it seems that Keya is the only one who has a strong interest in this, and even if others are interested, they may not have this ability. And you can't find anyone who has ever been to this Cancer, if there really is such a person. That is, to spend a huge amount of money to invite him over, but to say such things now is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Therefore, then we can only wait for Keya to slowly crack it alone, and the rest of the people will give her a hand, because although Lao Diamond is smart and can be proficient in the use of many space tools, his specialty is limited after all, and his interest in this area is not as good as Keya. Mario is familiar with the languages of several planets, but it took years of learning to master them. And now, will these crabs be kind enough to teach people to learn their language?

How could it be.

Normally, it is the invaders who force the colonies to learn the culture of the colonists, but they have never heard of the other way around. For the people of Cancer. Xiao An is the intruder, how much benefit can these few people create for them? There is no need to inculcate their own culture, eighty percent of them are regarded as laborers, and when they are exhausted and when they will end.

In other words, Xiao An should have no use value for these cancers. There is no place worth investing in. Therefore, if you want to continue to live well, you must find something to do for yourself that can highlight your value.

Khaya has always held this belief, which is why she was able to get out of the way on that unknown planet.

If you have what the other party needs, of course it's easy to say, but if not, then you have to create the conditions for yourself to have them! This is how she keeps pushing herself to improve herself, lazy, unless she is lucky, she can only let herself be called a prisoner.

Xiao An was moved by Keya's self-motivation, so she was determined to become a person like her, even if she couldn't be as good as her, but as long as she maintained her fighting spirit for a long time, it should be good.

So, after some discussion with everyone, everyone agreed that Keya would take the lead in planning to intercept the crabs' intelligence.

The hard work paid off, after a period of hard work, everyone really got some information, and it was all very useful and necessary, but what everyone didn't expect was that those crabs had been hitting the idea of the earth.

Now I don't know very comprehensively, but I just know that every once in a while they will secretly export some of the various domestic garbage and industrial waste products produced on their planet to the earth, this move, no one knows what they have done and what they have done to the earth.

"It's so damning! How can they do that! Mario said indignantly, "There is almost no such thing in our South Pole Star, and even if we want to invade somewhere, we will not be so insidious." What are they? Is it using someone else's planet as a garbage dump? How can you harm others and benefit yourself like this! ”

Mario is so angry that it is even more said that Xiao An is a few people from the earth. But they only have sadness now, and it is a bit whimsical to want to fight back against the crabs who are very different from their own strength.

It should be more than that.

These mysterious crabs, neither human nor beast, have never heard of them before, are they really the masters of this planet?

Xiao An put such a question mark in his mind at this time.

And the endless gold here, is it true that it is produced here? She was still a little skeptical, not that the planet didn't have the ability to produce energy, but that she couldn't trust these cunning crab people. Who knows if they also sent some people to sneak into the earth and rob the earthlings of the earth's resources, so the earth's resources will be exploited and used so frequently? There is so much gold here, could it be that some of it comes from the earth?

Although he has long been known for the gold of Cancer, but when he really got here, Xiao An was a little skeptical.

She thinks so. There should still be a certain degree of strength here, but the human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, who doesn't want to have as much wealth as possible? I still remember that a pyramid scheme worker encouraged her to "make a lot of money", but she refused: this money. It's endless. How much is more? How much is less? It's hard to define. Although she also loves money, she will never choose that way, but it seems that to those crabs, they are indeed a very greedy group of creatures.

"Hurry up! A few of you! All day long, I only know to chat lazily while we are not paying attention. Think we don't know? I'll give you a taste of it in a moment! It seems that I really can't ignore you, just relax for a few days, do you want to go to the house to uncover the tiles? ”

A crab next to him found that a few people were chatting again, picked up the golden stick in his hand and hit everyone, Xiao An felt pain, hurriedly retracted his body, and no longer exchanged his head and ears.

Alas, when will this grandson's years end?

However, this world is a world that is difficult to say that she is a good sister, and Xiao An doesn't know what happened to her until now. Is it more reasonable or more unreasonable? But whether it is reasonable or not, she has to face it, and she has always heard people say that fate is in her own hands, especially in Buddhism, and this is mentioned more often. But what is the concept of this fate and how to describe it, she has read a lot of information, but she still doesn't know very well. Therefore, more often than not, it is up to him to go, and he just needs to do what is at hand.

For now. What's at hand? Do you work for these crabs? I'm not reconciled. These crabs, they are dedicated their lives to them, and they should not say that they are good, and eighty percent will be exhausted to death by life. Let's dispose of it as garbage on Earth.

Hehe, at that time, I will return to my roots.

But who wants to go back to their homeland like that?

Don't say it's me, I guess Hans and Keya won't do it. As for Mario and Old Diamond, who have been missing for so long, aren't their friends and relatives on Antarctica, Diamond Planet, and Eros worried?

Xiao An was very yearning for the help of capable well-wishers from the South Pole Star at this time, and she realized it even more. It is very difficult for a person to live in this world on his own, let alone a very good one. It's hard enough to survive, and it's even harder to keep the quality intact.

But after waiting for so long, no one came to rescue them, just like before going to Antarctica, everyone waited for a long time, and they didn't see a single ship stop for everyone, as if they were a group of people who were isolated from the world, and the outside world had forgotten about their existence. And now, this planet dominated by crabs and gold is a place that is difficult to be discovered, and it seems a little hopeless to wait for helpers.

The crabs have set up such strict protection at the door, how can they let people in casually? Hmph, eighty percent of them were also arrested as laborers like everyone else.

So this one can't be counted on again. But you can't be naΓ―ve to think that one day everyone's hard work and self-preservation will move these crabs! What kind of creatures are they, how could they let everyone go and repent of their sins out of sympathy? It's already considered merciful that they didn't kill everyone directly, and how much sympathy has to be based on reciprocity, they don't look down on everyone at all, so don't expect them to be merciful.

Mario and Old Diamond, who were still somewhat superior in front of Xiao An and the others, but after being grouped together by the crabs with Xiao An and others, they gradually realized that as long as they met the same difficult opponent, no matter where they and their companions came from, in the eyes of the enemy, they were all equally incompetent.

Thinking of this, Mario was saddened.

But I can only reluctantly admit that there is a heaven outside the sky.

Xiao An has been here for so long, and he really hasn't seen other human beings, even if it's a living thing, it seems that it's just those few species, as if this Cancer really only has these crabs, they don't seem to need the company of other species, as long as they are accompanied by these gold.

What a bunch of strange crabs.

But no, if that's the case, shouldn't there be no grass here? So why do they still exist? Or is it because they can't get used to other beings messing with them, so they eradicate them altogether? That's a bit of a stretch.

Xiao An put a lot of question marks in his mind, and explained to himself one by one, but he personally overturned them one by one, and none of these assertions could make sense.

Now that I think about it, this Cancer is as if it was directly arranged by someone, and it doesn't look like who and who built it little by little, because here, there is no trace of this. If this is the home of crabs, then why doesn't it taste like home at all? Well, even if you are in a military or other important place far away from residential areas, there should be something natural, why does everything here seem so deliberate? In other words, there is no original ecology at all, which is not like a warm home at all, let alone the animal paradise that those crabs prided themselves to at the beginning.

That's right, even on the Diamond Planet, even if it has very few resources, it's not like here, except for these crabs, there is almost nothing alive.

That's right, angry.

There doesn't seem to be any proof that these crabs are animate creatures, even if they can talk. But how can they prove that they are not angry?

I can't solve this matter by myself, so let's find a good time to discuss it with everyone.

"Huh? You're saying that those crabs are lifeless, not living creatures? So what are they? Plants? Oh, or, is the shape made like this? Hans asked.

"Eh," Mario responded, "it's not impossible!" He seemed to agree with this statement, "These crabs seem to know everything we do, but do you think it's strange?" If they really have such superb technology, it stands to reason that they should no longer be like this a long time ago, and they must always be in line with international standards! Won't they go for plastic surgery? As far as I know, in the nearby galaxies, everyone has retouched their appearance more and more, but why is this Cancer, although it seems to have mastered more advanced technology than our Antarctic star, but in this case, why don't they build their homes better? ”

What Mario means is that there doesn't seem to be a bit of fireworks on the whole planet, not that they don't cook, if they don't cook, then how did Xiao An survive until now. It's just that there is hardly a trace of these crabs' attachment to their own home, and if this is really their ancestral home, as they say, then why not see the love they express for it? Except for the crabs who guarded everyone, the rest were just mechanically busy with their respective posts, like the people they said were living and working in peace and contentment, but they really didn't see any of them.

Is it really because I'm isolated? So you can't see the ordinary life scenes of the people of Cancer?

Yes, it's this very ordinary life scene, everyone has been here for so long, but they haven't seen it yet, so they all think it's incredible.

How so? As long as there are people in a place, there will definitely be popularity, whether it is the earth, the South Pole Star, the diamond planet or the Eros planet, they are all popular, but here, there has been no sign of the existence of a large number of creatures. Even if these crabs are not human, they are still life, aren't they? As long as it is panting, you may have your own blood relatives, and if you have blood relatives, you will have family affection, which can be seen in many animals in the animal kingdom, so why do you rarely see their emotional exchanges among these crabs?

No, I don't think it's right, but I can't find the root of the problem.

What's going on? (To be continued.) )
