Chapter 036, Brother, I'm Hungry
The cars roared past one after another, and Canglong walked on the street, feeling the prosperity of Dongning.
For many Westerners who have never been to China, they can be exposed to a lot of negative news about China, and they feel the hardships and hardships of China from poor movies, and they even feel that most Chinese are half-satiety and hungry.
Most of these come from Chinese directors, who sell well in the West's poor films, so Westerners are accustomed to feeling that in addition to a large number of ancient civilization relics left in China, the people here are still in a so-called barbaric state of detachment from civilization in the fifties and sixties of the last century, even if the rich people in China began to squander in the West, Westerners will only feel that this is only a small number of Chinese at the top.
This kind of habitual thinking makes Westerners not believe, or they don't want to, even when they come to China and come back to their country and tell their people everything about it.
China, an ancient civilization, is no longer what it used to be, and it is not so much that Westerners are afraid of China's rise, but rather that they are unwilling to believe in China's rise, so this has caused the export of China's modern culture to be difficult in the West.
Canglong also thought so, but as he experienced more abundantly, this naΓ―ve idea disappeared, and even though he had not been to China at that time, he could still feel the changes that China had brought to the world, and the Chinese goods dumped all over the world were not good, but they were cheap.
China is changing the world step by step in its own way, and this is what Westerners are afraid of, so they don't want to believe that China is becoming stronger and surpassing them.
This is just like the Chinese look at the United States, full of tall buildings, everywhere gold, as long as you enter this country, it means heaven, but in fact, in every city in the United States, there are different kinds of poverty, modern American slums are not as poor as before, but full of drugs and crime.
And the Americans' propaganda methods are far more sophisticated than the Chinese, because they have a Hollywood, they guide the mainstream of the world, control people's vision.
In the movie, you can see Americans reflecting on their own sins, but never seeing the poverty of Americans, and this is exactly what they want to hide, because they are unwilling to admit that they are poor, even Americans who live in slums, between crime and drugs.
The United States, while saddled with a high national debt from China, is shouting about the Chinese threat, which is, in Chinese terms, a white-eyed wolf, and it lives up to its name.
Although he only came to this country for a few days, he was surprised to find that the prosperity of this country, especially the people who are busy behind the prosperity, everything here is in line with the West, and even many places are better than the West.
The mother holding the child, the small staff of the company who is afraid of being late all the way like a desperate person, the uncle who is going out to do goods on an electric motorcycle, the roadside restaurants are always overcrowded, and the shouts come and go, bus stops, subways, supermarkets. Various transportation routes cover every corner of the city like spider webs, and groups of people are loaded and unloaded like goods.
The whole city is like a busy shell, everyone is busy, busy with their own difficult life, behind the prosperity, Canglong always feels that there is something missing, where is the civilization of China, an ancient civilization?
There is a saying in the West that the easiest people in the world to deal with are Chinese, and the most difficult to understand are also Chinese. Why is it difficult to understand, it seems that Canglong understands a little.
Walking all over the streets of Dongning City, Canglong wandered casually, his eyes skimmed over the people passing by him, judging their occupations and behaviors, the most speechless thing for Canglong is that there are many scammers here, and there are all kinds of tricks.
Canglong took out the money and gave it to a middle-aged man who was begging on the road, but after a while, when he wandered to the other side of the city, he saw this middle-aged man again, but the difference was that the young man changed his outfit and changed some begging words, and his dress changed to an ordinary person who would never recognize this as the one who had been begging on the other side of the city.
However, Canglong didn't demolish him, just walked past him indifferently, without too much expression, just like an ordinary person who also passed by him.
After buying the things he needed, it was getting dark, and when he passed by the door of a supermarket, he saw a strange scene, a little girl kept asking passers-by, as if she was praying for something, but passers-by heard it and left.
And the strange thing is that this little girl is extremely beautiful, she looks ** years old, with a delicate nose on her white and ruddy little face, and her small mouth that has been pursed flashes a little distressing grievance, when she asks passers-by, she reluctantly shows a little smile, and there is a pair of watery eyes with a little water, which looks even more pitiful.
Passers-by were a little enthusiastic when they first saw him, but as soon as they heard what he said, they avoided it, and the door of the supermarket was also the only way for Canglong.
He walked over step by step, and when he saw the little girl up close, he had a bit of an extraordinary temperament, Canglong felt that this was definitely not a child who grew up in an ordinary family, and it made people feel pity at first sight.
The little girl spotted the dragon carrying something and walked towards her.
It was still the reluctant and stubborn smile, but when she laughed, there was a mist in her eyes, which made people feel pity, Canglong was not interested in listening to what the girl said, and hurried by in a few steps, at the last moment he saw the little girl's panic, and didn't seem to understand why Canglong was not attracted to her.
However, when Canglong was about to stride away, suddenly a delicate but somewhat crying voice came from behind: "Brother, I'm hungry." β
Canglong's heart felt extremely uncomfortable at this moment, as if he had been pricked by some needle, but his pace accelerated, he didn't want to pay attention to it, because it had nothing to do with him, no matter what the origin of this little girl was, and what happened to him, but he was just a killer, and he couldn't control many things.
However, when he had taken a few steps, he involuntarily stopped, and when he gritted his teeth and turned his head, he saw that the little girl was staring at her blankly, with a little surprise in her smart and pure eyes, but she was at a loss.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Canglong turned around and walked to the little girl's side, and said lightly, "I'll take you to eat." β
"I want money!" The little girl said with some fear, compared to those professional liars, she is very good at begging, when she speaks, the mist in her eyes seems to condense into drops and fall, but she forcibly prevents it from falling, "It's only a hundred yuan." β
Canglong felt strange in his heart, he took out his wallet, and was about to take out a hundred yuan for this little girl, and he didn't even want to ask her why she needed a hundred yuan, and why she would ask passers-by here alone for this hundred yuan, all he wanted was to quickly give this little girl and leave quickly, because the feeling in his heart told him that if he stayed here, something very bad would happen.
However, at this moment, the passers-by glanced at him, so that his eyes couldn't help but look at the distance of the supermarket, a man and a woman, the man was smoking, and the woman was looking at this side, and saw Canglong looking at her, so the woman immediately moved her gaze to the distance.
Shaking his head, Canglong suddenly withdrew the wallet, the little girl suddenly showed a disappointed expression, tears couldn't help but fall, looking at him blankly, as if eager and afraid of something, in the process, the man who smoked there also looked over from time to time.
Canglong frowned, suddenly took the little girl's hand, and said, "I'll take you to eat, okay?" β
The little girl trembled, a little panicked, her eyes involuntarily looked at the pair of men and women in the distance, and finally began to struggle, but Canglong found that while struggling, the little girl longed for Canglong not to let go.
"Don't worry, no one can hurt you by my side." A smile appeared on Canglong's face, and his tone was firm.
The little girl looked at Canglong blankly, and finally stopped struggling, so Canglong took the little girl and walked towards the restaurant in the distance, but the pair of men and women in the distance were all faces, and the woman chased after her first, and a sharp voice came: "Hey, what are you doing?" β
Hearing this voice, the little girl trembled again, it was Canglong who held her hand, but in turn it was the little girl who held his hand tightly, as if she wanted Canglong to take her to run quickly, but Canglong calmly held the little girl, the closer the woman in the distance, the more the little girl's body trembled, it was a deep fear.
"What do you want to do, kidnapping a child?" The woman's voice was sharp and harsh, carrying a small red bag on her left and right, dressed extremely charmingly, and the strong smell of perfume on her body not only did not have the slightest temptation, but had a disgusting taste, vulgar powder, which was used to describe her better.
The little girl heard this voice and hid behind Canglong in fright, although she couldn't see her expression, but from her trembling body, Canglong could feel the deep fear in her heart, which couldn't help but touch something in Canglong's memory, making his decision more firm.
"Get out of here!" The cold two words spit out from Canglong's mouth, making this bewitching woman immediately change her face.
She swallowed her saliva and seemed to be a little weak, but when she saw the man walking over in the distance, she suddenly shouted: "Husband, hurry, come on, someone wants to kidnap my daughter." β
"Who, who, whoever dares to rob my daughter, don't die." The man's voice looked strong, but it was a little feminine and vicious.
Passers-by watched one after another, and some even whispered to the sidelines, "Hurry up and let go of this little girl, you can't afford to mess with these people." β
"Can't be provoked?" Canglong frowned, he was going to provoke him today
