Chapter 4: An explosion caused by a takeaway
The old man began to look serious again: "Many legends in the world are actually true, but they are exaggerated by people. People like to be full of imagination about things they don't understand, and of course sometimes such fantasies are not a bad thing. ”
The old man looked at me and continued, "There are many things in the world that cannot be explained by science, but magic can. Magic is just a supernatural phenomenon that we rely on, and the world is ignorant, but the magic and witchcraft go from awe to apotheosis to distortion and fear. So for thousands of years, we shamans have been hidden from the world. With the progress of modern scientific and technological civilization, we have achieved the perfect combination of magic and technology. ”
I have to say that this old guy's eloquence successfully touched me.
If he had told me this a few minutes ago, he would have thought he was talking nonsense. Magic, witchcraft? This egg is too. But after I saw his ability to call the wind and rain just now, I couldn't help but believe all this.
"Seriously, what are you looking for from me?" I'm straight to the point, they didn't kidnap me just to show me the old guy's magic.
The old man looked at me with a little kindness in his eyes. His tone softened.
"We are people from the world of the future. My name is Ye Luoqiu, this is my daughter Ye Xianxian, you already know. Saying that, the old man pointed to Ye Xianxian and said.
Forgive me for not asking their names and origins. It's not that I don't want to ask, it's that no one was willing to tell me before the old man came. I thought they wouldn't tell me, but I didn't expect the old man to start introducing at this moment.
Fortunately, I'm used to the leaping thinking of this old guy named Ye Luoqiu. While he is chatting with you about one topic, he will immediately jump to another topic that is not related to you. This is Ye Luoqiu, a man who seems to be full of wisdom and majesty. In fact, he is indeed full of wisdom.
I looked at this old man named Ye Luoqiu in amazement, Ye Xianxian was actually his daughter? Although this old guy has a dignified face, he can be regarded as dignified. How could Ye Xianxian actually grow into this appearance.
Of course, what surprised me even more was that this old guy actually said that he was from the future world. Well, I was deeply frightened by his ability to call the wind and rain, so I believe everything he says now.
However, why does this Ye Xianxian want to be my girlfriend? What is doubly bizarre is that she also protected me from the monkey chopping me.
Ye Luoqiu pointed at the monkey again and said, "This is Hou Qingguo, you just call him a monkey."
Hou Qingguo, I finally found a name as common as me. But I prefer the name monkey.
This monkey, oh, this monkey should be glaring at me right now. I don't understand why he is so angry, he obeyed me for 3,000 dollars, and he is so angry. I should be the one to be angry.
The dead fat man didn't wait for Ye Luoqiu to introduce, and said with a smile: "Hehe, my name is Shi Damao, just call me Ah Mao."
Ah Mao, is the name of a dog I used to have. Later, I told the dead fat man about this, and the dead fat man no longer asked me to call him Ah Mao.
I told him that if you don't let me be called Amao, then I will call you a dead fat man. This thing thought about it seriously, and I don't know what logic he came from, he thought that dead fat people were more ugly. So I had to agree to call him Ah Mao, provided that I couldn't whistle, touch his head, or add 'Good, call twice.' and so on.
I don't have a bad impression of this fat man. Although he lied to me that they were immortals, this guy was finally polite to me, with a smile on his face, and the important thing was that he kept pulling the monkey that was about to chop me, so I nodded slightly at him.
"This is Leng Baiying, just call him Brother Ying." Ye Luoqiu said to the cold-faced beast.
Leng Baiying glanced at me and didn't speak. I didn't call him Brother Ying, his name was very similar to his personality. He was always cold, and then I kept calling him the Cold-Faced Beast.
"Oh, and these two. These two are Wu Chengzhang and Ximen He. ”
"You know that my name is Wu Chengzhang, and you know that he is Ximen He. The two of us are together. Wu Chengzhang said.
"Uh-huh. I'm telling you, we're brothers. Ximen He patted Wu Chengzhang's shoulder and added: "It's not a brother, it's better than a brother." From now on, we will all be our own people. ”
Who is with you, I scolded in my heart.
I recognized the two people who took pictures of me among the melon-eating crowd, Wu Chengzhang was short, less than 1.6 meters. Ximen He, he looks like a jade tree in the wind. I mean, among these weird guys, Ximen He looks pretty normal.
Later, I called the two of them, Wu Dalang and Ximen Qing. These two do not have a great hatred of taking their wives, but they are a pair of good iron buddies who can't be better.
I frowned, there was actually a child in the gang, about fourteen or fifteen years old. Honest face.
"His name is ......"
"Brother Xiao Ming, my name is Bean Sledgehammer. You call me a sledgehammer. Before Ye Luoqiu could finish speaking, the kid interrupted him.
I'll call you a hammer, and the hammer is so smooth. Also sledgehammer, you want to be beautiful.
Bean sledgehammer: "Brother Xiao Ming, my name is Bean Sledgehammer." Just call me a sledgehammer, don't call me a hammer, it's not Xiao Ming. ”
Me: "No problem hammer."
Sledgehammer: "Thank you, Brother Xiao Ming."
Me: "You're welcome, Hammer."
This passage is a joke that I often use with the boredom of the hammer when I am bored later. Of course, this dialogue is what I borrowed from Xing Ye.
In my memory, no one ever called him a sledgehammer, everyone called him a hammer. In addition to Ye Xianxian, Ye Xianxian has always called him a sledgehammer.
Bean sledgehammer, I didn't call him sledgehammer. He kept calling me Brother Xiao Ming, and later whenever I thought of him, I felt guilty that I wanted to cry.
I like to give people nicknames, because people always like to call me Xiao Ming, get out. Ye Luoqiu lost his majesty among us later, so I decisively gave him a nickname - Old Fox.
Later, we all called him the old fox, and I was almost beaten to death by Ye Xianxian for this. But I think it's worth it, because this guy is really an old fox.
Needless to say, they were going to tell me to get out, but it was too awkward to get out, and then they called me executioner.
I don't know why, but after discussing it, they felt that the executioner's nickname was not enough to vent the anger of the people, so they simply called me the butcher.
Since then, the butcher's nickname has accompanied me all my life, and each of us has successfully obtained a nickname, except for Ye Xianxian.
The reason why I didn't give Ye Xianxian a nickname is because I think her name is more ironic than a nickname. A person who is seriously overweight is called Xian Xian, just like the ugly me everywhere and telling people that I am very handsome, of course, I won't tell you, in fact, more importantly, I don't dare to give her a nickname.
"Wait, you're saying you're from the future?" I asked.
Not only the monkeys, but everybody glared at me. It scared me a little, I didn't know what I was doing wrong.
Ye Luoqiu sighed: "We all come from the future 2030, that is, more than ten years from now......"
"You say that you are from the future world, so what are you doing with me?" I interrupted him.
"You, Xiao Ming, are twenty-two years old this year, and you can't do anything. In 2030, thirteen years later, at the age of thirty-five, you still won't be able to achieve anything. - When you were thirty-five years old, you applied for 28 companies in succession, and 26 of them rejected your ......"
This is too miserable. But it's a lot like my life.
"Aren't there two more?" I plead.
"One of them went out of business, and the rest was a food delivery company." The monkey snatched it and got angry.
Ye Luoqiu sighed again: "On December 31, 2030, my magic time machine was successfully experimented in the first laboratory, and the second world began to separate from the first world. It was on this day that we celebrated the success of the experiment. I ordered a takeout. ”
"You're saying it's the food I delivered to you?"
Ye Luoqiu nodded: "It's you, I didn't expect it to be your first day at work." Just messed up our lab. ”
"Wait, why me? I'm just a food delivery guy. And, with such a big experimental success, you ordered a takeout? "It's so illogical.
"What do you think? For us experimenters, time is of the essence. Moreover, it is such an epoch-making great invention. It was also me, who was too excited, and then, I ordered a takeout without damning. Ye Luoqiu suddenly became furious.
I'm a little scared, these people are too split.
"Yes, that's you. Who knew that your first day at work, that is, the first day to deliver food to us. And then it blew up the lab. "The monkey was no longer angry, but with tears. This worries me even more.
I could see that they were all furious now, and when he took the kitchen knife again, I was afraid that no one would help me.
Fortunately, there was Ye Xianxian, Ye Xianxian said loudly: "It's not his fault, he doesn't know."
