Chapter Twenty-Three: I Want to Learn....
Hagrid finally agreed to Zhang Xiao's request, which made him very happy, and decided to contact his parents in the evening and ask them to send some seeds.
On the way back to the castle, Harry didn't tell him what had happened in Diagon Alley that day, perhaps because Hagrid had told him not to talk nonsense, and Harry did a good job of that.
Their pockets were stuffed with heavy rock loaves that Ron muttered could even be used as weapons, as long as you could accurately hit your enemies in the head.
The two little ones were full of interest in the food he said and kept asking, while Zhang Xiao was shocked again by the lack of British food, although he had lived in the UK for more than ten years, he really hadn't eaten much outside.
It's all home-cooked food that I eat with my mom and dad, and a very few eat local food like McDonald's and KFC.
While there was still time, Zhang Xiao also went to Professor Sprout and asked her some tips for quickly breeding common plants, and the chubby and amiable Hufflepuff Dean was very enthusiastic about Zhang Xiao.
He even gave Slytherin a score of 5 in praise of his dedication and enthusiasm for botany.
As soon as the dinner was over, he couldn't wait to return to the bedroom, rummaged through his small bag for a long time, and finally found a bronze mirror in a pile of miscellaneous items.
Malfoy ate too much high-end candy from home in the afternoon, and was lying on the bed boredly looking at the comics that Zhang Xiao lent him.
Although he kept complaining, "It's hard to imagine that Muggle books won't move!" "I don't understand how anyone could like this kind of monotonous picture book."
But in fact, I watched it with relish behind my back, and I watched the 26 volumes of the "Dragon Ball" series several times.
One of the evidences is that Zhang Xiao found out that he was secretly checking whether there was a kind of bean in the magic world, and after eating it for ten days, he was not hungry, and he could recover all his injuries.
Another strong piece of evidence is Malfoy's blurt out during an argument with a Ravenclaw pure-blood, "You 5 combat power trash." ”
Unfortunately, the other party couldn't understand the ridicule and insult of this sentence, except for Zhang Xiao, only Harry and Ron understood, and the two laughed.
Malfoy thought he had found a soulmate, but the moment the three of them looked at each other, that feeling.... Tsk, Zhang Xiao felt embarrassed.
Seeing Zhang Xiaoshen mysteriously take out a brass mirror, Malfoy suddenly had a spirit, he threw away the Dragon Balls that had been memorized backwards, leaned over and asked slowly:
"What is this? Magic Mirror? ”
He didn't dare to despise anything Zhang Xiao took out now, and always felt that he might come up with something of amazing value at any time.
"The clairvoyant mirror, you can think of it as an alchemical item, through which you can communicate with the owner of another mirror."
Malfoy is no longer talking, two-way mirror?!
He knew that there was something similar in the wizarding world, but to be honest, this method of making mirrors had been lost and was extremely precious.
Malfoy had only heard from his father that the old Black family still had a pair of two-way mirrors.
Another extremely precious magic item!
This is wronged, although the clairvoyant mirror is also more precious in the Xuanmen, it is not as valuable as Malfoy thought, because unlike the double-sided mirror, the clairvoyant mirror also needs to be used with a spell.
Zhang Xiao set up the mirror and began to pinch her fingers as her parents taught, and read: "Qionglun is brilliant, and there is no loss!"
Then his finger lightly touched the mirror, and he saw a faint white light suddenly floating on the surface of the mirror, like a calm water surface, rippling, Dao Gate Spell, Fingertip Round Light Technique.
It's just that Zhang Xiao's cultivation is not very home, this mirror is like a bad signal, the picture is almost nothing, only the sound comes over:
"Xiaoxiao?"
Zhang Xiao hurriedly said: "Mom, it's me, where are you?" Why is the wind so loud? ”
"Oh, I'm in heaven with your dad?"
"In heaven??? What are you doing in the sky? ”
Zhang Chengdao's voice interjected with the whistling wind: "It's not because of this little rabbit, your mother said that other people's children have owls, and you have to have them, so that you can write letters and send things to you." ”
"Why don't you go buy one?" Zhang Xiao was even more puzzled.
"That's what I said! Your mother didn't say that it was not powerful enough, and said that the owl looked like a fat chicken, let me catch Hai Dongqing, we are now catching Hai Dongqing here in Waixinganling!
Ordinary ones are not good, they have pure white jade claws! I've been hanging out here for days!
Originally, I asked the cranes on the mountain, but they didn't want to come, either because the weather was bad or too far away, which was too smart and not easy to fool! ”
Zhang Xiao: "......"
Zhang Chengdao's exaggerated voice came from the other side of the mirror: "Oh, wife, I was wrong, I was wrong."
No, I definitely don't mean to blame you for being troublesome, I just really want to make Hai Dongqing for my son. ”
No, this owl is all trained in magic, can Hai Dongqing use it? But think about it, my dad is more familiar with the wizarding world than himself, and I guess he knows who to train.
After they landed, Zhang Xiao told them about the recent events, including the fact that the parents applauded for stopping the pure-bloods from bullying the new Slytherin students.
If you don't step forward to stop evil when you see it, then what kind of Tao is there to cultivate, and what is the Tao?
In addition to the truth of heaven and earth, the Tao is also the pursuit of all good things in the hearts of the people, the simple justice and truth, the elimination of evil and the promotion of good, the practice of chivalry and righteousness, the maintenance of the world, and the support of heaven and earth.
Of course, there is no private fighting now, but it is still possible to do righteousness and courage.
Finally, after talking to her parents about the seeds, Zhang Xiao happily hung up the phone. The call ended.
Next to him, Malfoy listened to the loneliness of the whole process, and he looked at Zhang Xiao blankly, as a rich second generation who had received an excellent education since childhood.
Malfoy is fluent in several Chinese, including German, Italian and Spanish, Latin.
But he had never studied Chinese, not even heard of it.
"Do you all talk like that? Sounds like singing. ”
Sing? Zhang Xiao didn't expect the foreigner to listen to Chinese like this: "Just a simple chat of two sentences." ”
Malfoy suddenly became interested, and he leaned over and asked:
"Your family has such a long history, you must have used a special aristocratic language, right? Can I learn? ”
"It's not an aristocratic language, it's Chinese, and it's spoken by more than a billion people." Zhang Xiao smiled and put the clairvoyant mirror back into the small bag, thought about it and took out a pen and paper and asked:
"Do you really want to learn? I can teach you if you want to learn. ”
As a result, Malfoy's face was incredulous, and he said with strong suspicion in his tone:
"Impossible, your country is so big, how can there be only one language? There are so many languages in Europe! You must be lying to me. ”
Zhang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and glanced at him: "Why am I lying to you, although there are dialect differences, they are only regional, just like the difference between Scottish and England."
If one of your ancestors had unified Europe, and remained largely unified for the next two thousand years, there would have only been one language in Europe. ”
Malfoy stopped talking, and could see that he was being pricked in the heart again, and the whole person was a little depressed and a little uncomfortable, biting his lip and standing there for a moment.
Zhang Xiao sighed, there are still many things that Muggle society has done well in the West, at least their modern times are very proud.
But wizards cut things off with the Muggles, identifying with which country they were and at the same time disagreeing with the Muggles of that country.
This led to the glory created by Muggles, which wizards did not enjoy at all, most notably the American Ministry of Magic.
Compared with the Muggles in their own country, it is a world of difference, they are also attacked by terrorists, the US Ministry of Magic does not dare to fart, and they have to rely on Britain to take revenge....
And the history, inheritance, and culture that wizards care about are precisely the strongest place in China, and it is strange that Malfoy is not at Versailles.
"Do you still learn Chinese?"
Malfoy's pale face showed a hint of confusion, he looked at Zhang Xiao, moved his lips, and asked in his own voice:
"You said... All my doubts can be answered in the history of China......"
Zhang Xiao thought about it and replied seriously:
"All doubts are impossible, but I think most of your questions can be answered, like why we don't discriminate against Muggles, like why we don't care about blood...."
"Okay, I'll learn!"
