Chapter 59: A Trip to the Zoo
At luncheon.
Barney drank wine and laughed with the Viscounts Pompeii.
It can be seen that the matter about the horse should be over.
Chen Lun ate in silence, listening to them talk about interesting stories in the aristocratic circle and the latest decisions of the council.
"Little Rebecca, that horse broke your leg and almost hit you...... Uncle Barney is guilty and apologizes to you here. ”
Barney raised his goblet and smiled and greeted Rebecca across the table.
Rebecca hurriedly put down the knife and fork in her hand and picked up her wine glass.
"It's okay, Uncle Barney...... That's none of your business, it's my own playfulness. ”
After both of them had drunk red wine, Viscount Pompeii talked about the afternoon's itinerary.
"Barney, I heard that the majority shareholder behind the Cry Zoo is Earl Bradley?"
"Oh, I don't think I can hide anything from you, Pompeii...... Yes, the Earl of Bradley invested a large sum of money there. ”
Barney was full, took the cloth handed by the maid, wiped his mouth, and talked eloquently.
"It's doing well at the moment and a lot of people come in every day...... So many tickets are sold, and all they get back are a large amount of gold pounds, which is really enviable!
Anyway, they have two new elephants there, so let's go and see them. ”
Rebecca was very interested when she heard this, and hurriedly coquettishly approached Madame Pompeii. Madame Pompeii was so noisy that she agreed to her like a child.
Originally, I was going to the zoo in the afternoon, so I couldn't spend more time watching the elephants.
"Mr. Jack, you're going too, aren't you?"
Rebecca turned her head to Chen Lun and asked, her eyes still full of anticipation.
"Of course, Miss Rebecca."
"That's great!"
Rebecca seemed very happy, and immediately realized that she should be a little more ladylike, and lowered her voice and added:
"Then I need Mr. Jack to teach me about those animals, just like in class."
"No problem, it's just an outdoor practice class."
Chen Lun said with a smile.
After luncheon.
The butler of Binoz prepared the carriage in advance, with Madame Pompeii and Rebecca in one, and the three men in another.
This arrangement made Rebecca pout angrily and be very dissatisfied.
The carriage left the manor gate and drove down the road.
Barney sat opposite Chen Lun, he looked at the young man and smiled:
"Mr. Jack is really young and promising, and after a simple examination, he has been able to see the exact cause of death of my horse, and he is worthy of a scholar in this field......"
Viscount Pompey, who was sitting beside him, showed a puzzled expression and cast an inquiring glance at Chen Lun.
"Does the natural sciences also include knowledge about veterinary medicine?
Yesterday the situation was urgent, and now that I think about it, it is indeed a bit arbitrary...... Mr. Jack? ”
[Barney's favorability towards you has declined, and you are currently in a hostile state!] 】
Chen Lun saw the prompt box and noticed Viscount Pompey's suspicion of him.
"There's something wrong with this Barney!"
The heart is condensed, and the surface is silent.
I don't know what he said to Viscount Pompey to let the matter of that horse go away.
But Chen Lun knew that the horse had taken food containing extraordinary strength, causing it to become violent.
Based on what happened to Rebecca, it is likely that it targeted Viscount Pompeii's family.
But to make a horse achieve such a level of extraordinary strength, more than one sequence can, Chen Lun can't guess for the time being.
"Your Excellency, I used to study veterinarian-related knowledge in order to study."
Chen Lun opened his eyes and said nonsense.
Viscount Pompeii nodded, and did not continue on the topic.
Barney gave him a deep look.
After some time, the carriage stopped.
Several people got out of the carriage, and not far away stood a huge arch with guardrails extending on both sides.
There is a huge sign hanging on the door - "Cui Wai Zoo".
The crowd came and went, and the butler of Binoz tied the carriage to the door, paid the money and bought the tickets and returned.
He was in charge of pushing Rebecca's wheelchair, while Madame Pompeii had a flower umbrella to shield her daughter from the sun.
The crowd slowly entered the zoo.
"Mr. Jack, I heard you're from a foreign country?
This trip with us can be regarded as a guide to the city. ”
Barney smiled heartily.
Chen Lun nodded politely at him, and then said softly:
"Thank you, Monsieur Baron......
But I think the easiest way to get to know a city is to ask how its people work, how they love each other, and how they die.
I've lived in the outer city for a while, so I know a lot about it. ”
Barney smiled for a moment, then said no more.
"Mr. Jack, it turns out you've been out there...... Is it fun there? I've never been there.
I wanted to see it too, but my parents wouldn't allow it. ”
Rebecca looked at Chen Lun with some curiosity and said.
"It's not fun there, Miss Rebecca."
Chen Lun said flatly, glancing at Madame Pompeii beside her.
"Your current life is what those people in the outer city dream of but can't get."
"Is what Mr. Jack said true? Mom? ”
Rebecca turned to Madame Pompeii for confirmation.
Madame Pompeii nodded.
"Yes, Rebecca, there are a lot of bad people in the outer city, they do bad things all day long, just to live in the inner city.
Remember Congressman Lawson's son? That young man was killed by people from the outer city......"
Rebecca managed to be startled by her mother's words and covered her mouth.
Immediately, she looked at Chen Lun, and her eyes once again showed familiar worship.
Mr. Jack, he's amazing!
The bad guys in the outer city can't do anything about him!
"Kelly, don't talk to Rebecca."
Viscount Pompeii and Baron Barney walked ahead and turned back to his wife.
Madame Pompeii touched Rebecca's shoulder and said teasingly:
"Our Viscount cares about you, Rebecca."
Everyone saw a lot of animals along the way, and these were not new things for Chen Lun.
But here, too, only the residents of the inner city have the financial resources and time to come and play regularly.
The ticket is not much, but for the poor, it is the cost of half a month.
"Mr. Jack, those two orangutans are ...... Kissing? Are they a couple? ”
Rebecca asked curiously, pointing to the two chimpanzees hugging each other in a large cage.
"Well, it's not ......"
Chen Lun glanced at it and explained to Rebecca:
"They were two males who had just had a fight over courtship, and they were comforting each other.
For them, the kiss has a sense of reconciliation, like a handshake. ”
"Ah......?"
Rebecca was a little surprised.
Others also heard Chen Lun's account and were surprised by this explanation. But thinking of Chen Lun's identity, they silently chose to believe this statement.
That's the charm of authority.
[You witnessed the courtship process of chimpanzees!] [LVMAX (Passive)] takes effect! 】
[Strength +1, Dexterity +1, Charisma +1]
Chen Lun was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this skill to be so easy to take effect.
He looked around, full of anticipation.
