447 Excellence and Table
As I instructed, the next morning, Reina Honda went to find Irena. After she left, I called Qiao Yun over, "Is your painter friend in Paris?" ”
"In!" She said, "Do you want to see her?" ”
"Well, tell me everything you know about this girl, I want to know about it," I said.
"Her name is Laura, she is Chinese New Year's Eve three years old, a standard French beauty", Qiao Yun said, "She has many hobbies, she spends a third of her time every year painting, and the rest is traveling, mountaineering, skiing and doing some secret things." ”
"Secret things?" I glanced at her, "Doing something for the Nine Star Society?" ”
"I guess," she said, "Laura is a very smart girl, very good at getting things done." ”
"Does she know magic or arithmetic?"
"This ......," she thought for a moment, "I don't think I understand, as far as I know, there aren't many people who understand that among the members of the Nine Star Society in Europe." Most of these people who joined the club were for some benefit, just like me, if I hadn't provoked those people, I might have ...... too."
I smiled, "Okay, I see, you can drive and pick her up in a moment." ”
"Okay, I'll give her a call first."
"No, go straight ahead, don't call," I said, "let the stone go with you, come back by noon, and we'll have lunch together." ”
Qiao Yun was a little uneasy, "Isn't that equivalent to leaving you here alone, and you don't know French, in case something happens, it's ......"
"Don't worry, that bearded friend won't come to disturb me, I can just rest quietly", I stopped laughing, "just do it, the stone will follow you, I can rest assured." ”
"Got it!" She breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll leave now, and I'll definitely find her before noon." ”
The person I'm looking for, maybe Jiang Xiaoling will also be interested, so I have to take precautions. It's not that I can't believe Qiao Yun's ability, it's just that this matter is too sensitive, and it's safer to have a stone to follow.
After they departed, I went outside the house alone and slipped in front of the dairy farm. The barn is beautifully repaired, and the bearded Pierres are working inside, fully automated milking equipment that squeezes out large quantities of fresh milk and collects it into a huge wooden barrel. Pierre walked back and forth like an overseer, while his wife, a freckled but smiling Frenchwoman, was stirring the milk in the bucket.
When they saw me coming, both husband and wife greeted me warmly, and I didn't understand French, so I smiled and waved at them. The bearded man thought I needed something, and after a few words of advice to his wife, he came out of the barn, came to me, and inquired about me in a friendly manner.
"I'm fine, just go out for a walk," I said.
He seemed to understand, smiled, patted me on the shoulder, pointed to the distance, and said it like a cannon. I have to admit that French is a precise and beautiful language, which sounds very good, but unfortunately I really don't understand it. The beard was so enthusiastic that I couldn't help it, so I nodded again and again without pretending to understand, and then walked in the direction he pointed.
My understanding is that he should have let me go over and yo, and when I did, I realized that it wasn't that simple at all.
When I came here yesterday, there were only two husbands and wives on this farm, but when I looked back today, it turned out that there were still workers at work. The bearded man pointed me to an open field, and when I approached, I found that in addition to the people working in the fields, there was a young French girl watching them beside them.
I walked over to the girl and looked at her from the side, she was about eighteen or nineteen years old, slender among Westerners, but about as tall as me. With fair skin and clear eyes, it's not pretty, but it looks pleasing to the eye.
As I was looking, she spotted me, "Are you......?" Yesterday, Chinese guests? ”
Her Chinese is stiff, but I can understand it.
"Do you speak Chinese?" I asked.
She smiled, "I have traveled to China and I like Chinese culture very much, so when I came back, I learned some Chinese." My name is Lisa, what's your name? ”
"Hello, my name is Lin Zhuo", I held out my hand to her.
She shook my hand, "Lin table, the name is very peculiar, use the table as a name." ”
"It's not the table, it's the Zhuo, the excellence of the Zhuo", I corrected.
"What's that?" She was puzzled, "Excellence and table, isn't it the same word?" ”
I couldn't cry or laugh, and I said forget it, I guess this little girl has just learned, there is no need to be more true, she said that the forest table is the forest table.
I sat down next to her and chatted with her, and although she struggled to speak Chinese, she was very talkative, not at all stage frightened, and very generous in communication. After chatting for a while, I realized that this girl was the bearded daughter, she liked Eastern philosophy, and she was going to study in China after passing the Chinese test. The beard should mean that I can talk to her, on the one hand, I don't have to be so bored, and at the same time, I can help his daughter practice Chinese.
I talked to Lisa for more than an hour, and helped her correct many pronunciation and grammar mistakes, she was very smart and a quick learner, but she couldn't change my name until I left France, and she called me Lin Table until I left France.
"You didn't eat breakfast?" She suddenly remembered, "Aren't you hungry?" ”
When she said this, my stomach growled, and I was really hungry, "You don't say it's okay, I'm really a little ...... Hey hey ......"
Lisa took my hand and stood up, "Let's go, I'll go get you something to eat." ”
We went to their house, and she made me a simple bacon sandwich, warmed up a glass of fresh milk, and sat next to me and watched me eat it. After eating three pieces in one go and drinking two cups of milk, it was considered full.
"Have you eaten enough?" She looked at me, "So let's keep talking?" ”
I looked at my watch, "It's not too early, I still have some things, I can't practice with you." ”
She was a little disappointed, but nodded anyway, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”
I glanced at her and smiled faintly, "Lisa, I may have to leave today, I will come back to see you when I finish my errands, and then we will have a good chat, okay?" ”
She shrugged helplessly, "Okay then, I'll wait for you to come back." You don't know, apart from Joe and my teacher, there are very few people here who know Chinese, and I need to practice, but I don't have the opportunity. ”
"It's okay, you can go to China once or twice before you go to study in China", I said, "I promise that your Chinese level will improve a lot!" ”
She smiled, "Okay, I'll go!" ”
Coming out of the bearded man's house, I didn't want to turn around, so I slowly walked back to the house in the northwest of the farm, locked the door, and took out the Phoenix Golden Order. This baby was given to me by the Ye family's father-in-law, and Ye Huan really put a lot of thought into it in order to help me. Maybe it's really me making progress a little fast, this baby, along with the three things left by my grandfather, has been sealed at home by me most of the time. Now I understand that although the Peerless Divine Spell is very powerful, and I still have the power of the Yuan Shen of Little White Deer, my body's endurance is limited after all. The effect of the Phoenix Golden Order is to increase the power of the spell dozens of times, only to increase the effect and not increase the burden on the meridians, which is perfect for my current situation.
From the analysis of the hexagram, I must act quickly, and I must break Jiang Xiaoling's formation within a week. In this way, I am afraid that when the matter is completed, the contact between me and Tang Qi may not be restored. Without her help, I can only rely on my own hexagram and the magic weapon that Ye Huan gave me.
I gently stroked the Phoenix Golden Order, and I couldn't help but think of Ye Huan, after this time, she should also get out of the customs, and I will definitely accompany her when the time comes. I settled down, walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the blue sky in the distance. I really don't know what kind of power the combination of the Peerless Divine Spell and the Phoenix Golden Order will produce, and I can't test this, so I can only wait for a few days to find a chance to give it a try.
Near noon, Qiao Yun and Shi came back with Laura, and sure enough, Shi was injured and had a cut on his hand.
Laura has deep eyes, she is a very attractive woman, Qiao Yun introduced us, after greeting her, I asked Qiao Yun to take her into the house, and then glanced at the stone and called him aside.
"What's going on?" I looked at his hand, "Is it serious?" ”
"It's all right, I ran into a couple of big men outside Laura's apartment," he said, "and I saw that they were not good at coming, and I did it first, and they looked quite strong, but in fact they were very stupid, and I was beaten down in a few strokes." At that time, I was in a hurry to take Laura away, and I didn't pay attention to one of them and took out a knife. ”
"Did he stab you with a knife?" I stared at him.
"No," he shook his head, "it's Laura, or I wouldn't have been hurt." ”
I nodded, "This woman is very important, whether she can find that place successfully depends on her." It is estimated that the other party also guessed her importance, so he made this move. ”
"Brother, I don't think they're that smart," said Stone, "do you think, if they had realized it earlier, would they have kept Laura alive until now?" ”
"You mean, they think they're going to kill us if we need it, do you?" I looked at him.
"yes, they're not that smart, so we don't have to think too much of them."
"That makes sense...... "I thought for a moment, "were you sure you weren't followed when you came?" ”
"Sure!" "Unless they can find this place in some other way, if they want to track it, it's absolutely impossible, I have experience in this area, and I won't let people target it easily." ”
"That's good," I patted him on the shoulder, "you go get the bearded man to get some alcohol or something, I'll go talk to Laura, and get ready, and we'll leave here in a moment." ”
"Good!" The stone was very happy, agreed, and turned away.
I went back to the house, came to the living room and sat down, Qiao Yun quickly stood up, "Lord Xiaolin, Laura is okay now, you talk, I'll go outside and watch." ”
"Wait", I stopped her, "you're gone, who's going to translate for us?" ”
Qiao Yun smiled, "Don't worry, Laura understands Chinese." ”
