The general view is that from a technical point of view alone, human beings at the beginning of the 21st century did not have much to boast about, as if the previous several rapid technological explosions have overdrawn human intellectual reserves in advance, in most of the century, human beings have not made any breakthrough technological progress, perhaps after experiencing the industrial, electrical, and information revolution, the whole civilization is uneasy because of the rapid acceleration, so human beings began to gradually release the accelerator of acceleration, and strive to make the car of civilization run slower and more stable, there are even people in this car who suggested that this car should not go down at all, since the scenery on the side of the road is so good, it is better to park here forever, or even go back to before......

I remember every time the teacher said this in history class, there would always be people who expressed their wonder about this phenomenon, or rather, expressed their wonder at the stupidity of the ancients, looking back from the perspective of today's people, in fact, the entire human society was still in danger at that time, but the people who lived at that time were unaware, but felt that their achievements were enough to be praised - a whole 7 billion people are crammed on the surface of such a small world, mainly relying on the energy of natural existence to maintain civilization, in the eyes of later people, There is no essential difference between the primitiveness of burning oil and burning firewood, and the latter is even more sustainable, but the people who lived in the 21st century didn't think so, and they felt like they were living in an unprecedented, paradise-like golden age.

Before leaving, in order to make himself more suitable for the "ancient" life, Qiao Yiyu also consulted some historical experts about the details that need to be paid attention to in the 21st century, learned about the life and cultural customs of several major countries at that time, and even went to find some games with the background at that time to experience seriously for a period of time, but games are games after all, no matter how high the virtual technology is, it cannot completely simulate the reality, and the influence materials that have been handed down are only fragments of the real world after all. At best, it can only let Qiao Yiyu understand the world, but it is difficult for her to really adapt.

First of all, the most unaccustomed point is the unique behavior of developing societies - trading, which is specifically mentioned by experts in many evacuation training, in the history before the 47th century, limited by the level of technology, the production capacity of human beings is limited, how to use the limited resources to all corners of the society rationally, has always been a headache for the ancients, the 21st century mainly pursues the trading principle based on voluntary transactions, and has produced a set of strict trading system, There is even an ancient science that specializes in how to use this system to predict production and development, which is called economics in history textbooks, and when they learned it in history class, the teachers also showed them a copy of the currency used in the society at that time, and it is also something mentioned countless times in many classical novels - money, or money, and the instructors reminded them countless times in the training that understanding the use of money, or forming the most intuitive understanding of money, was the most important survival skill in ancient times.

Judging from Qiao Yiyu's experience of coming here for less than 24 hours, it seems that she has not mastered this skill very well, but she has also developed some interest in it during several exercises, such as the hat on her head, which is the first item she bought when she came to this world, compared with her own life, this is a completely different experience - when a person actually needs a certain item, before using it, he must first determine the "price" required to use this kind of thing, and then make sure that he can afford the price, Then pay the corresponding currency, and finally get it back, once the whole process is completed, the item is marked as ownership, others have no right to use the item, and of course, they should not use other goods that have been "marked" by others, if they do, it will be considered "immoral" in the eyes of the ancients, in this world, the private nature of the product has been determined from the moment it is produced, and the process of transaction is through the medium of money, constantly transferring its ownership or right to use. This kind of ownership is almost everywhere, surrounding every corner Qiao Yiyu can see, including the ground beneath her feet, the space occupied by her body - they legally belong to the People's Republic of China, so in the strictest sense of the word, even if she stands here and does nothing, it is illegal.

Also in the legal sense of this era, Qiao Yiyu also has something that really belongs to "himself", that is, this hat on his head, theoretically speaking, no one has the right to take away this hat, they define this power as "property rights", which is one of the rights that everyone here naturally has, but the law here also stipulates that the acquisition process must be legal, Qiao Yiyu knows that the way he obtains it is strictly illegal- Although there is a molecular-level accuracy error between the currency she uses and the real currency, it is a counterfeit currency after all, so from this point of view, her own ownership is also in jeopardy, and this recognition somewhat dilutes her happiness because of the novelty.

There is another place where she can't adapt to it, that is, most men and even women here look at their eyes, she used to feel that in historical stories, saying how much people in this era love beauty is a moderate exaggeration out of art and plot needs, but from her own experience of more than ten hours, I am afraid that this is a problem that is difficult for her to adapt to, the coordination of the proportion of facial features is a matter of course in Qiao Yiyu's era, and here it is undoubtedly a luxury and luck - in this era, gene expression is completely random and uncontrolled, If a person wants to "look more beautiful", the two ways to check are makeup or surgery, the former is not very effective, the latter has great side effects, and the opposite of this reality is that the vast majority of people in this era have a "natural complex", thinking that those things that are not modified by technology are better than those that have been modified...... Qiao Yiyu understands this, but she doesn't understand it, because the times are too different.

In addition to these two points are still adapting, Qiao Yiyu is more or less accustomed to some other life unaccustomed to in the training before coming, such as the smell of gasoline in the air that always seems to be absent, such as the non-intelligence of all electrical appliances and tools, such as the hygiene habits that need to be paid attention to in a non-sterile environment, and most importantly, try to think about it one by one, so that the auxiliary program has time to identify and shield some words that belong to the "future" relative to this world.

……

"Right...... I am," Han Le felt that these words were extremely laborious, as if he was a foreigner speaking Mandarin for the first time.

Xie Yongqing's performance was okay, and he even took the initiative to stretch out his hand to introduce himself: "My name is Xie Yongqing, and we are classmates." ”

Han Le noticed that the girl's eyes were a little strange when she looked at Xie Yongqing's hand, as if she was puzzled, and didn't seem to understand why Xie Yongqing did this, Xie Yongqing's hand stretched out awkwardly for a few seconds, and saw that the other party didn't mean to shake hands, and fell back embarrassedly.

"Oh...... I ......" Under the reminder of the auxiliary program, Qiao Yiyu "finally" understood, and suddenly realized, "It's a handshake...... I'm sorry. After speaking, he took the initiative to reach out his hand.

Maybe it's because he is a thief, Xie Yongqing, who has always been a little thick-skinned, is rarely embarrassed.

"Regarding the rent, I want to ask the specific ......" Qiao Yiyu said while recalling the price he checked on the Internet yesterday, thinking that if the other party asked for a high price, he must try to "talk about the price", which can be regarded as adding some life experience.

"You also know the situation of the house, how much do you think is appropriate?"

Generally speaking, if you ask yourself too much, you are likely to be rejected by the other party, but how much is not too much? Qiao Yiyu was a little unsure, but she didn't hesitate too much, and asked cautiously: "1500?" ”

"Okay," Han Le immediately agreed, don't say 1500, he would gladly agree after removing the previous 1, "Why don't you come and see the house first?" ”

Xie Yongqing was in a hurry, what else was going on with him to see the house: "What's the hurry, it's so early, why don't we go have breakfast together." ”

"Oh, I ate it just now," Qiao Yiyu said, "If you want to eat, I can wait here." ”

Han Le wanted to say no more, but before he could say anything, he was dragged away by Xie Yongqing, so he could only leave a sentence: "I'll come over immediately." ”

Of course, Xie Yongqing was not in a hurry to eat, and after walking out a few steps, he learned Han Le's tone just now and teased Han Le: "How much do you think is appropriate, oh?" ”

Han Le glanced at him and sneered: "What, have an idea?" ”

"You dare to say you don't?"

"Of course there are ideas," Han Le smiled, "That's ...... You go first, I support you, and you say that I am heavy on color and light on friends. ”

While talking, the two arrived in front of a few breakfast stalls, Han Le asked for soy milk and pancakes, and Xie Yongqing only needed pancakes.

"You want to use me as a pathfinder, and your heart is damned."

Han Le didn't argue, just watched the action of the uncle who sold pancakes with a small wooden stick, I don't know why, the energy that was still a little excited just now instantly cooled down, no matter how beautiful it is, Han Le doesn't think he has any chance...... But then again, such a number one person lives at home, and he can have some reverie when he usually meets.

Xie Yongqing knew that Han Le's old problem had been committed again, and he called it intermittent depression if it sounded good, and intermittent depression when it sounded bad, the difference between one word, the former was personality and temperament, and the latter was mild mental illness...... No matter what happens, it is always difficult for Han Le to be happy for a long time, as if he has a valve in his head that specializes in dopamine secretion, and every time the secretion amount exceeds a certain amount, it will be fixed and closed for a period of time.

"Forget it," Xie Yongqing took his pancake, perhaps under the influence of Han Le, and lost interest, "Let's talk about it when we come back in the evening." ”

"I thought you'd go back with us to see the room." Han Le was a little surprised at this time.

"Do you think I'm really interested in getting up so early to see the beautiful women with you," Xie Yongqing said as he chewed on a pancake, "The lab has been really busy lately, and I haven't met a good boss, so my life is miserable." ”

……

Han Le held the soy milk in his left hand and the pancakes in his right hand, walked up to Qiao Yiyu, and saw that the other party was staring at him, and said a little unnaturally: "Let's go." ”

Han Le walked in front, maybe he had a pair of eyes behind his back, especially a pair of beautiful eyes, and eating became unnatural, so he had nothing to say: "Have you practiced gymnastics?" ”

After waiting for a few seconds and not responding, Han Le turned his head to look at her, thinking that he hadn't followed.

This glance made Qiao Yiyu react: "Did you talk to me just now?" ”

Han Le looked around him, and there was no one else.

"Excuse me...... Oh, gymnastics," Qiao Yiyu apologized, "I haven't practiced, today is the first time, it feels fun." ”

Intellectually, Han Le didn't believe that he could spin around the horizontal bar in a circle and spin in the air for the first time? Isn't this tantamount to admitting that you are a third-class cripple in disguise? However, the other party's tone sounded very sincere, and besides, she didn't know each other, so she didn't need to lie to herself.

Han Le is not a person who is good at talking, the first sentence did not have any effect, he obediently closed his mouth, just buried his head and walked, and when he went downstairs, he turned around and explained: "This is the building, the third floor." ”

Qiao Yiyu was looking up at the laundry on the balcony that people forgot to collect, for her, everything here was so fresh, after hearing Han Le's words, she followed up: "Is it Building 17?" ”

"It should be," Han Le was a little unsure, so he ran back to look at the building sign for a while, and when he came back, he was sure, "Yes, you observed very carefully." ”

It's not that Qiao Yiyu observes carefully, but there are too many things that Han Le doesn't pay attention to in his life, he can't even remember his mobile phone number, and the addresses of the two homes are generally recorded in a text on the mobile phone and the computer, and he will only look at it when he needs to mail something.

"This is the living room, here is the kitchen and bathroom, and the room to be rented is there," after entering the house, Han Le began to introduce, "This room is mine, and the other is Xie Yongqing." ”

While speaking, Han Le opened the door of the empty room: "There are three sockets, and one next to the bed......" He introduced the general situation of the house in a fragmentary manner, and glanced at Qiao Yiyu's face from time to time, she didn't show any dissatisfaction, nor did she ask a question, her expression seemed to be more curious.

This attitude made Han Le a little uneasy, generally speaking, people who really want to live will always ask about some details of living habits, especially if a woman comes to share a house with two men, it seems to be more troublesome, but Han Le doesn't feel the trouble now, maybe this is where the trouble is.

The introduction was almost the same, and when Han Le himself felt that he had nothing to say, he asked a little nervously: "What do you think?" ”

"Oh, yes." Qiao Yiyu didn't see anything wrong.

"And when are you going to stay? And the contract ......"

"Oh...... contract," this historical term made Qiao Yiyu curious, "Can you let me take a look first?" ”

Han Le turned around to get it, but after entering the room, he thought that Qiao Yiyu seemed to come with two hands empty, and she was wearing so few clothes, so he came out again and said thoughtfully: "You see, generally speaking, the rental contract is signed when the money is paid, and it will save what the problem will be when the time comes." Although Qiao Yiyu doesn't look like a bad person, thinking about her abnormal behavior, Han Le feels that it is better to be careful.

"Oh...... I know," Qiao Yiyu said with a smile, thinking of a saying that deeply reflects the immediacy of the transaction, "Pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other...... But I won't sign the contract, can I take a look first? Qiao Yiyu didn't think about bringing money at all, she just brought hundreds of "emergency money" with her according to the requirements of the instructor during the training.

After reading the contract with interest for a while, Qiao Yiyu asked, "If I bring money over in the afternoon, will I be able to live here at night?" ”

"Of course...... However, you may have to buy your own quilts and electric blankets, which can still be quite cold at night. ”

"Isn't there air conditioning?" Qiao Yiyu reacted quickly.

"Air conditioning...... If you want to use it...... "Han Le wanted to dwell on the issue of electricity bill allocation, because he and Xie Yongqing didn't use air conditioning, but when he thought about it, 1500 would have exceeded his psychological expectations a lot, and besides, the electricity bill would be evenly shared, so let her live for a month first and see how much the electricity bill would be before mentioning it, "Then use it." ”

"Then I'll go back now, and I'll come back in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'm home in the afternoon, just knock on the door." Han Le opened the door for her.

"Oh, by the way," Qiao Yiyu seemed to remember something, "Do you know how to take the bus from here to the train station?" ”

This Han Le knows, but it's a bit troublesome to express it clearly, but fortunately, it's not too far, so Han Le simply wants to be a good person: "Or I'll send you there." ”

"Okay," Qiao Yiyu smiled, and after a second, under the reminder of the auxiliary program, he added two unfamiliar words unnaturally, "Thank you." ”

"No, I'm also on the way." Han Le is polite. Actually, it's a ghost road.

"By the way," as he was going down the stairs, Han Le suddenly remembered a question that he had forgotten to ask, "Do you live here for work?" ”

Han Le noticed that Qiao Yiyu's face changed, not embarrassed or unspeakable, but a little dazed, as if he didn't know what to say, or what to say, but this expression didn't last long: "It's a tour, come and travel...... But not necessarily, I haven't thought about it yet. ”

"Oh." Han Le didn't react much, whether it was true or not, it didn't have much to do with him, but he still wasted his words, "Is your luggage at the hotel over at the train station?" ”

"Yes."

"Is there a lot of things? Do you want me to move with you? ”

"Oh, no, there's only one box, I'll do it myself."

Usually when Han Le goes out, he feels that the road out of the community is quite far, but today he feels that he has not taken a few steps to reach the leg, and after bringing it to the destination, Han Le is also embarrassed to wait on the platform together, after saying goodbye, he walked back, but he didn't go a few steps away, and the bus that just arrived followed his footsteps, he saw Qiao Yiyu sitting by the window, staring out the window without blinking, this scene is like a painting gradually drifting away.

It wasn't until the painting disappeared at the end of the road that Han Le realized his gaffe, and couldn't help but think of a sentence that Xie Yongqing often said, people, in fact, are the same as mice, after all, they are still chemical animals, as long as the hormones are enough......
