Chapter 170: The North Pole
Yang Yang and North were also startled when they saw Oldman in the courtyard after going downstairs, but after all, they were acquaintances, and Cheng Shi explained to them in a few words what the giant had done, and they happily began to eat breakfast.
Vina didn't know what instructions she received from Wang, and after she sent Oldman to the Cheng family's mansion, she returned to the small universe with Brian.
"Let me tell you something, on an island in Finland in Northern Europe, there is an ancestral house of Barbara's family, it is said that there are ghosts in that house, anyway, we have nothing to do now, I want to go over and see, it is not a serious task, although it is very cold over there, but I believe that everyone here should not be afraid of the cold, of course, it is not reluctant, if you want to go, you can go with me, and those who are afraid of ghosts will stay at home and watch the door." After Cheng Shi had a brief breakfast, he officially announced to everyone that this business trip had an obvious tourist nature.
"I'll go, I'll go......" Yang Yang and North scrambled to sign up.
Cheng Shi pondered that although the mobilization of the whole family was expected, when he saw Yangyang and North's happy state, he still asked: "Don't you want to know why Barbara's family has an ancestral home in Northern Europe?" β
Yang Yang immediately looked at Barbara when he heard the sound: "Monkey, when did you go to Europe?" β
"I won't tell you." Barbara turned her head in disdain.
Big Bird didn't get an answer, so he looked at Cheng Shi again, hoping that his landlord could answer his questions, so Cheng Shi briefly explained to Yang Yang and North.
Cheng Shi thought that this trip to Finland would be like the last time he went to the South Pacific, take a plane first, and then drive to the destination, but the information bridge said that the destination this time was on land, the coordinates were more accurate, and now it was winter, and there was less human activity in the Arctic Circle, and there was less in winter. Therefore, it is possible to teleportation somewhere in the North Pole at sub-light speeds, then enter the Arctic Ocean, and finally reach the destination by sea, so that not only does it not have to be faked for people who do not have passports, but it is also faster.
"Landlord, how do I feel like a stowaway?" After listening to the action plan of the information bridge, Yangyang first raised questions.
"It's not like, it is." Cheng Shi smiled, "There are ghosts in that place, and it is estimated that no one will go there often, so we will go over to see the situation, and we will be able to come back in two or three days, there should be no major problems." Besides, aren't all houses in Europe freehold, so this time in the past, it is equivalent to Barbara taking us to her family's ancestral home as a guest, so everyone should not have any psychological burden if they think like this, right? β
was originally a group of stowaways, but after being analyzed by Cheng Shi's divine logic, he became the owner of the house and took a few relatives and friends of different races back to his hometown to visit relatives, and everyone looked at each other.
"Landlord, I think it's a pity that you don't have the brains to be an official, but I hope you must be a good official if you become an official." Oldman said in a gruff voice.
Cheng Shi didn't understand too much: "Big one, what do you mean?" Didn't you say that your giant kingdom is a democratic society? Is officialdom also so complicated? β
Oldman hahaha, picked up a book from the TV cabinet: "When I came here in the middle of the night today, sitting in the living room with nothing to do, I opened this drawer, and saw that there was a book in it, and I could understand the words on the cover, so I picked it up and looked at it, this should be based on a true story, some of the plots in it I read angry, these people who fool the people and the government with a little power in their hands are really angry." β
Cheng Shi saw the giant in his hand
The book is a book that his father liked to read when he was alive, called: Officialdom Secrets.
"I'm a civil servant in the empire now, but the area I manage is a little bigger, and I only care about big things, no matter how small things." Cheng Shi shrugged triumphantly.
Everyone was stunned for two seconds, and then they all started to laugh.
"Daughter-in-law, your house should have been uninhabited for many years, right? When was the last time your mom went back to her hometown? Do you have a title deed? Don't look back and really meet the local housing authority to check, there is a real estate certificate to talk about. Cheng Shi suddenly thought of a series of questions, turned his head and asked Barbara.
Barbara was stunned: "No, she said that the last time she went over, there was still a war over there." β
Cheng Shi patted his head, wondering if he really couldn't talk to these immortals, the most recent war over there was at least World War II a few decades ago, and he didn't know which war Vena was talking about, if he pushed it further, maybe the castle would become a monument.
"If we don't have a real estate certificate, then we are still smuggling." Cheng Shi said with a dry smile.
After several people discussed the transportation plan for the trip, they each prepared daily necessities for this trip, Oldman came empty-handed, Cheng Shi found two coats that his father wore before his death, put them on for him temporarily, and then took him to the foreign trade store in the alley to buy clothes. But after several turns, they didn't buy a suitable one, and finally when they passed by a store that operated tablecloths and curtains, Cheng Shi had an idea, thinking that Oldman was not afraid of the cold anyway, so he didn't need to consider the cold resistance of the clothes at all, so he pulled him into the store and asked him to choose the fabric of his favorite color.
"Big one, with so many colors, why do you like dark yellow?" Cheng Shi asked with some puzzlement.
Oldman smiled comfortably: "Aren't we undocumented?" I think it's a little more understated, and I do like it. β
Cheng Shi thought that the big bald head of the giant and the clothes of this color would be a proper Buddhist monk.
A group of stowaways with a giant more than two meters tall were already very eye-catching, and if this giant still made people look like a monk, wouldn't it be even more eye-catching, but he didn't know how to explain it to Oldman.
"Is that really the color? Don't change? Why don't you choose a few more colors? Cheng Shi asked again.
Oldman then picked up two more curtain fabrics: "Why don't you take these two cloths off as well?" β
Cheng Shi couldn't help but shake his head when he saw that the giant was holding a light yellow and a light yellow curtain cloth in his hand, thinking that if Oldman wore clothes made of this kind of cloth and walked in the alley in the future, it was estimated that it would not be long before someone would give him the Dharma name.
After the two chose the fabric, they bought some daily necessities and went home. At this time, the three beautiful girls in the family were discussing with each other in the living room what they bought.
Yang Yang seems to be particularly fond of wearing hats in winter, she has bought a lot of hats and is trying them on one by one, asking North to help her see how to wear them better.
Barbara prefers to wear scarves in winter, and Cheng Shi saw that she had bought five scarves of different colors and placed them flat on the sofa, taking pictures.
"What does that mean? Is this a snowboard? Cheng Shi asked, looking at the two rectangular objects placed on the side of the door of the living room.
North hurriedly nodded at Cheng Shi: "There is nothing for sale in the alley, my second sister and I took Lao Zhang's son's motorcycle and walked a long way to buy it." β
Cheng Shi shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself
Just like the last time they went on a business trip to the Pacific, this time they are ready to travel again.
"Do you know how to ski?" Cheng Shi yelled at his mermaid sister.
North shook his head, "No, but I'm getting excited to watch those people on TV, so I'd like to try it too." β
Cheng Shi was speechless, thinking that the skis were probably useless, so he didn't ask any more.
Before entering the living room, Cheng Shi put the curtain cloth into the car parked in the courtyard, and he wanted the information bridge to help Oldman make a few clothes through material intervention. Thinking that he should have done almost everything at this moment, he came to the courtyard.
"Is this outfit inappropriate? Why is it so lenient? Cheng Shi looked at Oldman, who was already wearing new clothes, and said in surprise.
Oldman smiled: "Hey, landlord, this dress is very suitable, I asked it to help me make it looser, so that it is comfortable to wear." β
Cheng Shi was stunned for a long time, thinking that the giant was wearing this dress, and he was only six points away from the Buddhist monk on his forehead.
In fact, this time Cheng Shi took everyone to the ancient castle in Northern Europe to explore, although he had the idea of taking everyone out to travel and relax, but more of him wanted to directly contact other aliens on the earth, he knew that Barbara still had many doubts, and he had been hunted by aliens for many years, there must be a reason behind it, and this reason may not be related to the goddess Vena of the small universe.
After the five of them had prepared their respective business trip luggage, it was almost noon, and Barbara was already busy in the kitchen. In a short time, a large table of food was served. The first time Oldman tasted Barbara's craftsmanship, he was full of praise, and said that he would be blessed with Cheng Shi to farm monsters in the future.
"Big, I've known you for so long, I don't know if you have parents, children or something, it's okay for you to follow us all day long, right?" Cheng Shi asked casually while eating, "Don't compare yourself with the three of them, they are either orphans or minors, and they don't have any family burdens." β
Oldman stopped the chopsticks in his hand and was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Everyone eat, continue to eat." β
Everyone obviously felt that the giant was unwilling to discuss this topic, so they all continued to bury their heads in eating, and Cheng Shi didn't ask any more questions, but he thought in his heart that there must be a story in it, and planned to have a private chat with him one day.
After lunch, Yang Yang and North washed the dishes, and Barbara began to clean up in the living room again, and after sweeping the floor, she turned off all the power that could be turned off, and finally covered the sofa and TV with the prepared dust cloth.
Cheng Shi watched Barbara busy in the living room, and his heart suddenly poured into a warm current, he thought that when he went out in the past, his mother did similar work in the living room, and he thought that there would still be a hostess in the house, and a hostess like a monkey girl.
When everything was ready, the five of them got into the chariot and prepared to make their first stop on the trip: the North Pole.
"Let's go!" The sound of the information bridge sounded inside the car.
With a stream of light passing through the window, the group reached the North Pole, but the vast snowfield that everyone had been expecting did not appear outside the window, but instead something resembling crystal clinged to the glass of the window.
"Xiaoqiao, what's the situation? Got it somewhere? Cheng Shi asked, looking at the strange scene outside the windshield.
"I didn't collect coordinates in the North Pole, it was just a blind transmission, I should have underestimated the thickness of the Arctic glacier, and accidentally teleported myself into the ice pool." InfoBridge explained.
