Chapter 499 'Nuclear Bomb Crisis' - Hitchhiking
Xu Ran felt quite strange that the person he met casually would actually be the 'freestyle champion in the FBI', but he didn't know what the strength of this FBI was here. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Amy didn't expect Gina to say this, so she couldn't help but complain a little and said, "Gina, you're talking nonsense again." β
Over there, Gina was embarrassed and covered her mouth with one hand and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I shouldn't talk about work when I come out to play, so I won't take it as an example." β
Amy was also a little embarrassed to say to Xu Ran at this time: "Gina likes to talk nonsense, I actually just participated in the freestyle competition in the women's group. β
Xu Ran still smiled and nodded, but he really couldn't do anything else to comment.
β¦β¦
Amy is an FBI staff member in Country X; The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a law enforcement agency under the Ministry of Justice of Country X, and its responsibility is to investigate crimes against Country X, and it is also authorized to provide cooperative services with other law enforcement agencies.
And Gina and Natasha, neither work in government agencies; The three are good friends, all under the age of 30, and none of them are married.
Early this morning, the three of them went to this fruit beach to play together, because there were other things to do, and they planned to leave.
The reason why they wanted to swim to Xu Ran's side just now was because Amy was suspicious of Xu Ran due to her professional habits, so she wanted to check it closer.
In fact, when the three of them first arrived at the beach and noticed Xu Ran in the water, they were a little puzzled, thinking about where the clothes taken off by this early man were placed; For when they came, they saw no other vehicles parked, nor any laundry piled up somewhere; But think of what kind of strange person doesn't have it, or this person has been far away in his clothes, and has swam here from somewhere else; Or maybe the person ran naked from somewhere else to the sea; They didn't take it seriously.
Later, when the three of them swam in the sea, felt a little cold, and sat down on the shore again, the three of them noticed that Xu Ran was behaving more and more strangely; Not to mention the question of whether he is cold or not in the water, it seems abnormal that he is always in the sea far from the shore, and he neither swims nor approaches the crowd of swimmers here.
If you want to get away from the crowds, why not go and swim in another place where there are no people, so you won't be disturbed.
Gina then speculated, "This guy might be a voyeur." β
Both Natasha and Amy felt that this statement made sense, and Natasha directly proposed: "Let's go over and have a look, and if this person is not a fruit, then drive him away." β
So the three of them joined forces and swam towards Xu Ran in the sea, and after swimming closer and seeing Xu Ran's appearance, the three of them already felt that this person should not be that kind of low-level interesting person, because Xu Ran's expression gave people the feeling that it was the sun, which directly made the three girls have a good impression; However, in order to verify their identity, Gina and Natasha still played a diving swim in front of Xu Ran according to the plan, the purpose of which was to confirm underwater whether the other party's dress was in line with the rules of this place - to keep the fruit in shape.
In the subsequent contact, except for Xu Ran's clumsy words, the three of them had a good impression in other aspects; Especially after discovering that Xu Ran's swimming results were quite good, and his toned figure matched his upright appearance, the three of them had a great impression of Xu Ran; Originally, the three of them thought that before leaving, they could do more language exchanges with Xu Ran to enhance their understanding of each other; However, Gina's introduction to Amy just now does seem a little out of place; Therefore, the three of them felt that it was difficult to speak.
According to local social habits, if friends are not very familiar with each other, do not inquire too much about other people's personal problems, which is called respecting privacy; And the unit where Amy works is a very sensitive law enforcement agency, and now she has informed the other party of such an identity, and if she goes to ask the other party again, when the two parties do not know each other, it is indeed a bit of an investigation of people; If you don't want to become friends in the future, then you can ignore these scruples, isn't it that the three of them are quite optimistic about Xu Ran, so they all have scruples when they speak, and they don't want Xu Ran to misunderstand and cause Xu Ran's disgust.
Of course, the other two also know that Gina's words were unintentional, and now it depends on whether Xu Ran will take the initiative and take the initiative to talk to everyone to ease everyone's embarrassing atmosphere.
It's a pity that Xu Ran is not, and he can't talk in the language here, even if he can see the atmosphere and seem a little cold, but he can't say what he wants to say, and he can't give everyone a good round; can only be on the sidelinesγContinue to play the good gentleman who is clumsy in wordsγ
The three women are very self-respecting, since Xu Ran will not cooperate, they will not go to talk to Xu Ran more and more under the premise of not knowing Xu Ran's intentions; The three of them politely told Xu Ran that because they had something, they had to pack up and leave; Immediately there, the preparations for the departure began.
Xu Ran's performance at this time was quite satisfactory to the three women, he was diligent in the neighborhood to help others take the east and west, and he was very active and clever; There's no way, Xu Ran can't speak, if he doesn't move his hands and feet, then he will be awkward when he stands next to him, it is really out of place; When the people finally packed up their equipment and were ready to walk in, Xu Ran directly helped shake off the bath towels spread on the ground alone, and then helped them fold them; When Xu Ran was doing this job, because of his strength and good grasp of the strength, the whole process seemed to be smooth, very smooth and crisp.
In their opinion, this person should be willing to associate with a few of them, this person's personality and character are intuitively good, but they are indeed not good at words, and they lack shortcomings, but this kind of shortcomings seem to be able to be adjusted; When the third daughter was about to say goodbye to Xu Ran, Amy couldn't help but ask, "Do you often swim in this place?" β
Xu Ran replied: "This is the first time I have been here. "And then there was no follow-up.
Xu Ran could see from Amy's eyes that the other party was looking forward to Xu Ran's invitation to meet next, but unfortunately Xu Ran still couldn't say it; Although Xu Ran was not clear about the nature of the work of the 'FBI' at this time, it could be seen at least from the name that this was an agency subordinate to the government.
Since Xu Ran didn't know how to say it, but he still had emotional intelligence, he continued to pretend to be innocent at this time, and his eyes were also looking at Amy, and his expression was clearly prompting Amy: "Please give further instructions." β
Xu Ran's performance, in Amy's opinion, is a lack of emotional intelligence, and Amy can't wait to kick Xu Ran at this time; If you want to say that you don't want to meet again, your expression is clearly not like it, if you want to say that you still want everyone to meet again, won't you even say anything about invitation; This really made Amy feel speechless, for a person like Xu Ran who couldn't resonate, she was on the spot and didn't want to think about other issues.
Amy smiled politely at Xu Ran and said, "It's rare for us to have fun here." β
Then she didn't expect Xu Ran's response anymore, she opened her hands to Xu Ran, made a hugging gesture and said, "Goodbye?" β
Xu Ran also made a gesture and opened his hands; When Amy hugged him, he hugged him back.
Although Xu Ran doesn't understand the hugging etiquette here, because he is agile, the movements he makes are not stiff; As for the strength of the hug between the two parties, he also self-regulates according to the strength of Amy's hug.
Amy, who had already finished dressing, gently hugged Xu Ran, and then said lightly, "Goodbye." β
Xu Ran also replied decently: "Goodbye." β
After Amy let go of Xu Ran, Gina stepped forward and gently hugged Xu Ran; But when she was separated from Xu Ran, Gina, who was already dressed, slapped her hand lightly on Xu Ran's skin strand, and said to Xu Ran with a smile: "Goodbye." β
From Xu Ran's point of view, there are several ways to prevent Gina from photographing him, but he really can't think of a reason to refuse to be photographed, so he can only be embarrassed to let it go, and at the same time, he replied in a friendly voice: "Goodbye." β
Over there, Amy couldn't help but smile when she saw Gina slap this mischievous slap.
Next, Natasha stepped forward to hug Xu Ran, she also patted Xu Ran's other half of the skin after hugging, and when she said goodbye to Xu Ran, she didn't forget to laugh again and comment to her companions: "It feels good." The two female companions couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xu Ran stood there at a loss, very gentlemanly and smiled.
Gina looked at Xu Ran's face at this time, and said with a smile: "Amy, you should also take a picture, this is also a kind of farewell etiquette." β
Xu Ran really didn't understand the etiquette here, but he couldn't show that he didn't understand anything, so he could only smile and look at Amy, with a casual expression on his face.
Amy didn't come forward to slap after all, she wanted to shoot, but she couldn't wipe her face and stepped forward to do this action, after all, it was too unnatural; It's no longer possible to behave casually like two female companions, and I've lost my demeanor.
However, Amy, who was entangled, made another decision at this time, she said to Xu Ran: "I'll leave my work phone number to you, in case you have anything, you can call me." This is another response to her not being able to step forward and slap her hands.
Xu Ran hurriedly replied happily: "Okay." β
Amy immediately said a string of phone numbers, Xu Ran repeated the string of phone numbers, and then said, "Thank you!" β
The third girl and Xu Ran waved, said goodbye, and left; Xu Ran walked out more than ten meters before turning around and facing the sea; As he stood there, he wondered whether he should go on to the sea or stand here; Behind him, a lady waved her hand and called out to him, "Young man, come here for a meeting." β
Xu Ran turned his head to look, there were two elderly men and women over there, sitting on a bath towel spread on the beach, the age of the two Xu Ran was also a little uncertain, but he felt that he was going to be fifty or sixty years old; At the moment both of them were looking at him, and the lady who was sitting on his side was waving at him, looking at him kindly; The two sides are more than 7 meters apart.
Xu Ran looked at the other party uneasily, pointing his finger at himself, the lady smiled at him and nodded, waved her hand again and said, "Come here to sit down." β
So Xu Ran happily walked up to the other party and greeted the other party politely: "Hello! Then he leaned sideways and squatted outside someone's bath towel.
The two of them also replied one by one: "Hello! The man's expression was also kind.
Although the other party's bath towel is not too big, but if Xu Ran sits down again, it will not be enough for the three of them to squeeze into a pile, and the lady patted the bath towel heartily at this time, and asked Xu Ran to sit down.
Then the lady said to Xu Ran: "I overheard the conversation between a few of you just now, and I know that you are here for the first time, and you don't know much about some of the customs here, right?" β
It can be seen that this older lady is very talkative and hospitable, Xu Ran nodded hurriedly and said, "It's my first time here." β
The lady then asked, "This is the first time you have met those three girls, right?" β
Xu Ran smiled and nodded yes.
The lady continued, "You can see that the three girls have a crush on you, but with all due respect, you don't seem to be good at talking, and you don't take the initiative everywhere." β
Xu Ran continued to nod yes with some embarrassment.
The man next to him said something for Xu Ran: "Are everyone's habits different, maybe this young man thinks that the three girls are not satisfactory and doesn't want to talk about it?" β
The lady was reluctant to say, "Go, you didn't pay attention just now, I think this young man is quite interested in getting to know others, but he lacks initiative." β
Xu Ran continued to laugh and nod yes.
The lady continued: "Don't you know their farewell etiquette just now? β
Xu Ran nodded again and said yes.
The lady said to the man, "Look, I can see it all." β
The man smiled, but did not say a word.
The lady then said to Xu Ran: "There is an unwritten rule here, between acquaintances, when saying goodbye, a woman can pat the man's bare skin in front of the public, so as to show affection or affection; But a man can't pat a woman's skin, that's etiquette; Although it is the first time you have met, when the two girls adopt this way, they mean that they have a good impression of you; It's also a hint that you can continue to associate with people, but it feels like you didn't understand it at the time; Later, the girl took the initiative to leave you a phone number, which also had a good impression of you; If you are interested in them, you can contact them further. β
Xu Ran nodded his head again and again when he heard this.
The lady paused, seeing that Xu Ran couldn't say anything except nodding her head in thanks. I couldn't help but say with emotion: "It's good to be young, you can have a lot of time to squander, young man, you should be more proactive when you meet a girl you like, you can't wait for a girl to take the initiative." β
Xu Ran continued to nod his head in thanks and say yes.
The lady then said to Xu Ran with a smile: "Okay, you go and get busy with you, let you sit here and listen, the old guy will be annoyed if he nagged too much." β
After hearing what others said, Xu Ran didn't know for a while whether to leave, or to continue to sit here and chat with others, the last thing he wanted to do now was to be rude, and people were kind to him; Fortunately, this lady is very decent and understanding, she then slapped Xu Ran on the skin of the bath towel, and then looked at Xu Ran with a smile and said, "Goodbye!" β
Xu Ran hurriedly got up at this time, and sincerely bent down to the lady and said, "Thank you!" Good bye. Then he said to the man, "Goodbye." β
The man smiled and replied to Xu Ran: "Goodbye." β
The lady smiled and waved to Xu Ran in a chic manner.
β¦β¦
From the point of view of time, Xu Ran estimates that this will be half past eight o'clock, and the number of tourists here is gradually increasing, but at present, most of the clothes stacked by these people are in the area close to the sea, Xu Ran can't find a suitable clothing target for the time being, but because the time is still early, he decided to go down to the sea first; Because on the beach, everyone has their own floor bath towels to occupy the stall, but he does not have his own place to sit down, if he sits on the beach bareskin, it will definitely be very conspicuous and alternative.
After Xu Ran re-entered the water, he mainly swam thirty or forty meters from the shore; The purpose of this is to better observe the people coming and going on the shore, and he has to hurry up and pay attention to the clothes he is going to choose, not only to observe whether the owner of the clothes is still nearby, but also to consider whether the owner's figure is similar to his own, otherwise the clothes do not match his own, then it is a blind work.
Speaking of which, this kind of observation is also a meticulous work, and fortunately, Xu Ran's eyes are good and his memory is strong; Otherwise, with the increasing number of people swimming in the sea, it is really difficult for ordinary people to observe the situation on the shore.
Xu Ran swims in this area, and there is another advantage, that is, he can listen to other people's words more, which is convenient for him to learn other people's languages and use occasions, and it is also thanks to Xu Ran's super strong spiritual power, which makes him learn the language here, very quickly.
When he swims in this area, due to the dense crowd, sometimes everyone will meet unexpectedly in the process of swimming, and some people will habitually greet each other at this time.
At about half past nine, there were already quite a lot of tourists in this area, and Xu Ran also decided that it was time to leave; By this time, he had mastered some of the everyday language here, and I believe that he should be able to cope with the problems of dialogue again; The topics discussed in this beach are not wide, but some commonly used basic responses, Xu Ran has learned them all here; In this way, when he encounters a topic that involves an area that he does not know, he can use these basic responses, such as answering 'yes', 'no', etc.
Xu Ran belonged to a small gang of three men and two women, two of whom were similar to him, and the place where they stacked their clothes was far away from the sea, and there was a 50-meter appearance, and this group of people had just been in the water for more than ten minutes, and they were playing in the water at this time, and they should not be on shore soon; The most important thing is that there are no people lingering in the area around their pile of clothes, except for some piles of clothes, and the people in the vicinity have only been here for a short time, and they will all be entertained in the sea.
After Xu Ran went straight to the shore, he slipped directly to his target position, making him directly feel that he was fortunate to have a pair of clean underwear that had been changed and washed in a women's bag, so that he didn't need to be tired of wearing underwear worn by others; You must know that Xu Ran also paid attention to Amy and the three of them just now, and the three of them all directly put on the underwear they wore before and left.
Xu Ran sat directly north in the direction of the sea, sat on the large bath towel where the clothes were laid, and then took out the underwear from the woman's bag and put it on.
Xu Ran deliberately sat north towards the sea, and he was also particular, Xu Ran's current mental force field space can already be observed in the range of more than 20 meters around the body, in case someone returns to the owner of this stall of clothes, then when he turns his back to others, usually people will check nearby and then take further action, and once the other party has not yet attacked, he will step into his own 'spiritual force field space', then he can make the other party quiet in time, so as not to trouble everyone.
Next, Xu Ran took a pair of suit pants, quickly put them on, and then took out a T-shirt and put it on, there is a wallet in the suit pants, Xu Ran has already observed the situation inside through the mental force field space, there are three specifications of banknotes here, each of which has a few pieces, because he doesn't know about the banknotes here, Xu Ran took out one of each, put it in his trouser pocket, and then put the wallet into the woman's bag. Then he got up, put on a pair of sandals, and started walking out of the beach.
Because after arriving near this pile of clothes, Xu Ran had already passed through the mental force field space and observed the situation of this pile of clothes and other things clearly, so when he selected these clothes, he directly picked them up and wore them, without wasting time, even for the extraction of pocket money, he directly made up his mind, so his whole process was calm and fast, and in less than three minutes, he got everything done and left the scene.
And the clothes he chose had already been considered, and they would not come from one person, lest it hurt someone too much.
After Xu Ran walked out more than 500 meters away, he walked on a country road, Xu Ran judged the direction of travel, and then walked directly along the road and towards the city.
On this road, there will be vehicles driving over from time to time, depending on the situation, most of them should be going to the beach, and there are also vehicles driving in the same direction as Xu Ran, but the obvious number is smaller, and most of these vehicles should be those who have just left the beach.
When walking along the way, Xu Ran did not meet other pedestrians, and those passing cars, no one said that they wanted to take him for a ride; And because Xu Ran didn't know the rules of hitchhiking here, he didn't think about it and take a hitchhike; Although the road is not in sight, and the shadow of the city is not visible to him for the time being, according to his observation of the city map, this bathhouse should not be too far from the edge of the city. He should just take a walk on this road.
Xu Ran noticed that from the shape of the car in this world, to some of the structures inside the car, as well as the pavement and road structure of the country road, there are many similarities with the world he is in, which makes him feel very incredible.
Xu Ran was walking along the side of the road, and there were street trees on both sides of the road, which made him temporarily unable to bask in the sun; He had the physical strength to run along the highway into the city, and even if it was hot, it would not affect him much; But he didn't want to get people's attention because of this alternative way of running on a hot day, so he preferred to walk.
When he walked along the highway for about half an hour, a passing passenger and freight vehicle drove past him for a few dozen meters, then immediately slowed down, and then drove back backwards; When he passed by his side just now, Xu Ran had already observed through the spiritual force field space that the two people inside were the lady who had spoken to him, and the man sitting next to her; Xu Ran didn't think about taking their ride, but he didn't expect that they would reverse the car by themselves.
According to Xu Ran's thoughts, what these two people saw just now was their own body state, and it was said that when they put on their clothes, they should recognize themselves so easily without reason.
You must know that Xu Ran was able to recognize the two of them, also because of Xu Ran's mental force field space and all-round perspective observation ability, otherwise Xu Ran would not be able to guarantee that he would be able to quickly correspond to a person in a fruit state with his formal dress.
Speaking of which, Xu Ran is still psychologically resistant to taking a hitchhiker, because once he gets on a hitchhiker, psychologically, he owes favors; After sitting in the car, he always has to talk to others, once people ask about his condition, he doesn't know how to talk about it, which is why he didn't consider taking a ride along the way; Otherwise, with his mental ability, he can completely hint at someone and carry himself on a ride.
Of course, he can also imply that someone carries him, and continue to imply someone and do what he wants along the way, until he gets out of the car; It's just that in this way, this person will definitely be confused about this disturbed experience in the future, Xu Ran doesn't want to interfere with other people's lives because of unnecessary things, after all, he is not, he must be in a hurry.
The backward vehicle, when it was still three or four meters away from Xu Ran, the car was rolled down towards the window glass on Xu Ran's side, only to see the elderly lady poking her head out of the window, looking back at Xu Ran, laughing and saying loudly: "Young man, do you want to take a ride?" β
