343. You are my assistant
The cold winter in the Northern Hemisphere coincides with the hottest time in the South Pacific.
When he first came out of the airport, Aoki was slightly uncomfortable with the harsh sunlight.
Compared to China, Auckland is like a world without air, the sky is so blue that it feels unreal, and a few idle clouds are lazily floating in the distance, like wallpaper pasted on a sapphire screen.
The sun hung high overhead, unobstructed by dust, and sprinkled its brilliance wantonly, tilting over the buildings to reflect a strange light. Ultraviolet rays are equally unscrupulous, leaving brown marks on human skin.
Su Huilan put on sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat, and a white shawl was draped over her shoulders and wrapped around her arms. Seeing Aoki's thousand-year-old appearance, she asked curiously:
"A few degrees below zero in winter, you wear a windbreaker, you are in good health! But it's summer in New Zealand at this time, the sun is scorching, and you still wear a windbreaker, are you afraid that no one on the streets of Auckland will know you? ”
Aoki's outfit really attracted people's attention, and many people pointed at him, and it seemed that everyone had a heart for gossip, and it was the same everywhere he went.
And the security guard at the airport watched him vigilantly, and even brought a big wolf dog. However, both humans and dogs obediently walked away in front of him, as if ignoring his existence.
Su Huilan leaned over and said softly, "You are obstructing official business." ”
Aoki said, "I didn't do anything. ”
"It's against the convention to hypnosis people in public, and if the coalition is still around, you could be charged," Su said. ”
"What convention? What alliance? Aoki asked.
He knew that Su Huilan had a strong spiritual power, and she had an extremely unique and subtle control over her spiritual power. He also vaguely felt that she had something to do with the Alliance of the Awakened, but it was inconvenient to ask more, and now, Su Huilan took the initiative to mention it in her words. Aoki didn't know if she was slipping out, or if she was hinting at something, or if it was also a temptation for herself?
However, Su Huilan didn't say anything, and shook her head with a smile while dragging her suitcase forward, "Forget it, I'd better stay away from you, so as not to be affected by you." ”
Aoki hurriedly chased after him.
This is Auckland, he doesn't know the place well, if he loses Su Huilan, he doesn't know how to get to the camp on Lapa Island, and no one knows him there.
He only carried a black backpack, because it was summer in New Zealand, and he didn't need to change his clothes, so he brought very few things, which he had to prepare for him all his life.
Except for a credit card, he didn't have any money with him, and it was useless to bring RMB anyway. Of course, he didn't know that he had spent his life stuffing two thousand dollars in his bag, probably for his emergency use, so he didn't tell him. He never opened the bag and looked at it, because he didn't think the contents would be used.
He found that it was not a wise decision to follow a woman he didn't know well enough to come to a strange place, and he thought it would be much better to follow Shi Dazhuang to southern Yunnan. But there is really no way, he wants to go to the Cook Islands in the Pacific, if he doesn't take this opportunity, there is really no good way, he can't run around the islands of the South Pacific like a headless fly.
Su Huilan quickly walked up to a young man holding a sign.
The young man immediately asked politely, "You are Professor Su of Columbia University?" ”
"Yes."
"Oh great, I'm sent by Professor Field to pick you up."
The young man enthusiastically took the luggage from Su Huilan's hand, and then saw Aoki standing beside Su Huilan, "You are the professor's assistant, right?" Hello, my name is Pierce. ”
Without waiting for Aoki to answer, Pierce stuffed the suitcase to Aoki, "Professor Su, wait a minute, I'll go and drive the car over." ”
Aoki tugged at the lever of the trunk, dumbfounded, and at this time, Pierce was already trotting towards a Toyota.
Su Huilan stretched her hands towards Aoki and couldn't help but smile: "You are my assistant!" ”
Aoki had no choice but to wait for Pierce to drive the car over, and then put Su Huilan's luggage in the trunk before getting into the car. He sat in the passenger seat, and Su Huilan sat in the back seat.
Speaking of which, the Toyota is worn out and old, and it looks a little old, but Pierce drove happily and chatted with Aoki in the passenger seat as he drove:
"I'm not bad with this car, right? Driving is much faster than taking the subway, which is as slow as an ox cart. There are so few buses that you can walk from Auckland to Hamilton while waiting for the bus! ”
"Your name is Qin mu? Oh, what a name, I know Qin Shi Huang, the greatest emperor of China. Are you all surnamed? Are you his descendant? ”
"First time in New Zealand, right? Then you come to Auckland, it's the best city in New Zealand, don't go to Wellington, don't go to Christchurch, they have it, Auckland has it, and Auckland has it, they don't. ”
……
Pierce's chatter reminded Aoki of the coal boss, and just two hours later, he saw the crow that was already going mad.
"I'm dying!" As soon as the coal boss saw Aoki, he jumped on his head and shouted.
"What's wrong?" Aoki asked.
"They feed me bugs every day! Do you know bugs? The crow pointed to the one next to her and said, "She still has cat food and sausages to eat, and I can only eat that disgusting bug!" ”
"Why didn't you tell them you were going to eat steak?"
"I haven't spoken since I got off the plane. That's one of the reasons why I said I'm dying. ”
"Why?" Aoki couldn't imagine what it would be like to be a coal boss who was silently eating bugs.
The crow said, "You don't know how terrible these scientific paranoids are!" If they heard me, they would lock me up like a guinea pig and dissect my brain and throat, and whoa, it's horrible! ”
Aoki looked at Su Huilan worriedly.
Su Huilan said: "Don't worry, your bird has a belonging, to put it bluntly, your bird now nominally belongs to me." They won't do him any harm without my consent. ”
Forehead...... Why does it sound so awkward! Aoki scratched his head.
But the crow didn't care, and said, "Okay, Professor, since I belong to you for the time being, can you take me to a good meal first?" If you don't have sauce elbow, sauce beef will also do. ”
"No problem!"
Su Huilan agreed, and took them to a very distinctive restaurant.
The coal boss had a full meal, stroked his belly with his wings, and lay on his back on the dining chair, burping while saying, "It's still delicious like a flower's sauce elbow, and the foreign meat is too rough, burp—"
The one on the side was already snoring and falling asleep.
During the meal, Aoki asked Su Huilan about her next itinerary and specific arrangements.
"Tomorrow morning's flight to Tubuai and then a boat ride to the camp in Lapa, when there...... What are your thoughts? ”
Aoki said, "I'm your assistant, of course I'm listening to you." ”
Su Huilan smiled: "I don't dare to really treat you as an assistant!" ”
