Chapter 575: Coming to the suburbs
Behind the three of them came the roar of a school of fish, as if chasing them. They walked quickly among the barren ruins, their hearts racing and their breathing short. They could feel the presence of the fish, as if they were not far behind. This nervous feeling made them quicken their pace even more firmly, not daring to stop for the slightest.
Between the barren ruins and the tranquil riverside, the fish seemed to be the most feared of the sight. They have a hideous appearance, with sharp fangs, and every look is like a blade, sharp and sharp. Beneath these chilling exteriors, however, lies a heart twisted by the pain of nuclear radiation.
These schools of fish do look terrifying, their faces hideous, their mouths baring sharp fangs, and exuding a fierce aura. In reality, however, they have been tormented beyond recognition by nuclear radiation. These schools of mutated fish gathered together and opened their mouths not to attack, but to try to ask Ye Ning for help, hoping to leave the river contaminated by nuclear radiation.
Every action they make is actually a call for help from the outside world. This river, contaminated by nuclear radiation, has become an unbearable torment for them. Every open mouth, every sharp roar was the cry of their lonely hearts, and all they hoped for was to be able to get Ye Ning and their help to leave this river of pain.
However, these fish do not speak, and they are unable to verbalize their intentions. Communication barriers and stereotypes become a huge chasm. What Ye Ning and the others saw was only the hideous appearance of these fish, and they couldn't understand the true voice of the fish. In Ye Ning's inherent impression, these seemingly malicious schools of fish would only bring danger to them.
When Ye Ning faced these hideous-looking fish, he was bound by his stereotype due to his previous experience, and mistakenly thought that as long as the creatures after the nuclear radiation infection were malicious, they all wanted to kill. Under this misunderstanding, they quickly left the place, without giving the fish any chance to help.
In fact, these fish are just hoping to be rescued from the torture of nuclear radiation. Their fierce appearance is only due to the influence of their environment, and they are unable to express their true intentions. Perhaps, if Ye Ning can transcend his stereotypes and realize that race and race are not the same, don't make a conclusion because they only have one similarity. If Ye Ning had communicated with these fish, perhaps there would have been a different outcome.
However, Ye Ning and his companions don't know all this, and they can only move on, looking for a new path, hoping to find a safe refuge. Two completely different life forms, because of misunderstandings and stereotypes, missed a real encounter. Ye Ning and the others chose to leave quickly, leaving behind only the fish in the river that were still struggling in pain.
Language and culture have become a bridge for us to understand and communicate with each other. Too often, however, these bridges turn into ravines, isolating us from the truth.
Someone said: "Language is structured, it always has a certain cultural background". Language and cultural differences often make it difficult for us to understand what the other person really means. When we try to cross the cultural gap, we often go wrong because of the language barrier.
Stereotypes, on the other hand, are like a huge mountain, blocking our view of the real world. We often blame the actions of an individual on an entire group based on stereotypes such as "small days are disgusting" or "people are bad somewhere". As the philosopher Zhuangzi said, "Judging people by their appearance is an extreme neglect of the truth."
Can the people in this place really be so disgusting? Are the people in this place really all scammers? Many times I may not risk my life to test the truth of things. But these stereotypes have risen from one person to one region, and even one race. It may be that people of this race are not good people, but it is also possible that it is just our stereotypes that get in the way of communication.
What's more, news and media often amplify and distort facts in order to attract attention, causing us to misunderstand certain events or people. For example, we are often influenced by news reports of gender inequality as a common phenomenon, and ignore the positive, just aspects, and we will feel that the very few incidents of gender inequality happen to us, but never feel it
I am the majority.
These misconceptions and stereotypes will not only lead to conflicts between individuals, but are more likely to lead to conflicts between ethnic groups and countries, and even wars. As one philosopher reminded us, "Stereotypes and misunderstandings are the enemies of knowledge, they turn us away from the truth."
"Knowing your ignorance is the beginning of wisdom." We should think deeply in our lives, abandon stereotypes and misunderstandings, and strive to understand and embrace different cultures and languages in order to build a harmonious and just world, as much as possible.
Afterwards, the three of them continued on their way, still apprehensive about what was going on here in the river. These sloppy-looking creatures were invigorating, and the few of them had been frightened for a while when they encountered these fish and these purple strange creatures.
Then on the way today, they didn't encounter any strange animals. In the second half of the night, mosquitoes were still everywhere, and several of them decided to take turns to keep vigil in order to sleep.
The lion king, on the other hand, said that he intended to keep vigil for the second half of the night, which was the last vigil. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it, but in fact, the lion king plans to cope with it and sleep until dawn, and he has no intention of keeping vigil himself.
He was sleepy and napping yesterday and was sucked a few mouthfuls of blood by mosquitoes. And yesterday when he was chased by bees, he was also stung by bees a few times, and the lion king felt that there was no, but these two people were too sensitive.
Actually, there must be something. But the slightest degree of this matter is negligible, when these mosquitoes and bees sting people, they may inject some nuclear radiation infection into the body of the lion king, but due to their size, they can only inject a small one.
According to the next plan, after walking for two days and leaving the city, the amount of nuclear radiation received by the lion king in the process will not harm himself at all with the help of the ability. Of course, all this has to be built on the fact that there are very few blood-sucking mosquitoes.
After leaving the forest at the beginning, the mosquito population plummeted, which is why the lion king dared to sleep openly. If there are too many mosquitoes, then the lion king will still keep vigil honestly.
The Lion King didn't intend to tell Ye Ning and Li Yishuang about his discovery. Along the way, he felt that he had gained the trust of these two people. Then he can start his own little abacus.
can achieve a hegemony, the lion king's brain is not bad, he knows when to survive and when to calculate. Now is the best time to borrow a knife to kill someone, and let Ye Ning help him deal with those demon beasts that threaten him in the Western Continent. Those who are like the new women spiders, strong rising stars.
The lion king can pretend to be forced, just lead the way, and don't want to do it, it is they who provoke it first, so that he can still maintain his original position as ruler and not be shaken. It's a win-win-win-win
And now, as a large male feline, he is just too lethargic. After Ye Ning woke him up, the lion king pretended to be a vigil for a few minutes, and then fell asleep again, letting the mosquitoes suck his blood, but fortunately, there were not many mosquitoes.
The next day, the lion king was the first to wake up. Because the rules of the feline routine are not the same as the rules of the human diet, the feline has a higher demand for naps, and the biological clock has been formed. This is also the confidence of the lion king to dare to continue sleeping.
After the lion king woke up, he immediately woke up Li Yishuang and Ye Ning, the three of them were too tired due to several days of running around this night, and they fell into a deep sleep, and slept a little more comfortably, and their spirits looked very vigorous today.
Ye Ning, Li Yishuang, and the Lion King set out on their way through the ruins of the city, which was full of death and destruction. Hours passed, and the three of them, almost dragging their exhausted bodies, finally came to the edge of the ruins.
The scene in front of me gradually changed, and the devastated concrete jungle was gradually replaced by the greenery of the suburbs. The trees are still tall and the grass is full of wildflowers, as if nature is indifferent to human tragedy. But beneath the vibrant plants, there is still the invisible killer in the soil - nuclear radiation.
Although the area seemed to have escaped the ravages of war, and life seemed to be taking root again, the three of them knew that the invisible enemy depended
And then with them. Every breath can inhale unpredictable dangers, and behind every seemingly vibrant green leaf, there can be a deadly threat.
They don't have time to appreciate this unexpected scenery, let alone lament the philosophy of life and death. Now, all they want to do is get out of this unpredictable area and find a truly safe place. Therefore, the three of them quickened their pace, and although every cell of their bodies was protesting and crying out of exhaustion, that glimmer of hope in their hearts was the only force that sustained them forward.
The sun gradually rose, and the sunlight passed through the sparse leaves, sprinkling on their sweaty clothes, giving them a hint of warmth, and they could only rest for a while due to the physiological needs of the lion king.
But they knew that it was not a symbol of warmth, it was just a reminder that time was running out, that the day was going to pass soon, and that they had to leave quickly.
