Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Zhang Lisheng put his hand into the placket of his shirt from time to time, stroked and kicked it in his arms, grabbed the length of his gray casual clothes lining and shrunk to less than 30 centimeters, only the thickness of a pencil, soft like a rubber island dragon and Jiaolong, and his face involuntarily showed a cautious and vigilant expression.

Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way, and before 11 o'clock, he rushed to the terminal of JFK Airport more than 30 minutes early.

Since Edward had booked a first-class ticket, the boy was able to bring his two toy-like witch worms on the plane smoothly as he passed through the VIP passage.

Half an hour later, American Airlines' TU098 plane from New York to Johannesburg, South Africa, taxied on the runway and soared straight into the sky, leaving Zhang Lisheng's worries on the ground and quickly disappearing into the vast sky.

Since flying continuously in the otherworldly world for a few days and nights on the Jiaolong, Zhang Lisheng found that he no longer had the interest of staring at the sea of clouds outside the window.

Sitting in the large and comfortable seat of the first class of the plane, he watched a movie boredly for a while, reached out and ordered a glass of Coke, and began to close his eyes and recuperate while drinking, so he spent the long journey in contemplation. Arrived at Johannes International Airport.

Johannesburg, the most prosperous city in the Republic of South Africa, may be a bit far-fetched to describe the city located in the world's largest gold mining region, but if the previous word 'international' is replaced by 'Africa', Johannesburg, with a population of nearly 4 million, can be said to be completely worthy of its name.

It was already night when he stepped off the plane, but most of the country was in the subtropics, and South Africa, which was warm all year round, was not cold, so the boy took a breath of the warm and humid air characteristic of the African winter, took out his mobile phone, turned it on, and sent a text message to his mother and Tina. Turn off your phone. Stride towards the bus that transports passengers to the airport.

Taking the bus to the layman's passage, Zhang Lisheng accidentally found that there were ATMs on both sides of the spacious passage, and there was less than a thousand yuan in cash in his pocket, he thought about it. With the credit card of the Milian member bank that is used all over the world, he directly withdrew 5,000 yuan at a time.

Walking out of the airport, the teenager did not look for a hotel to stay. Instead, he pulled off a taxi and asked, "Is there a place near here that has better rental conditions?"

English is the main language spoken in Johannes. The young man's rice language fell to the black driver with a fat square melon face and a smile and snow-white teeth, but the meaning was not difficult to understand.

The driver said enthusiastically, "Sir." Listen to the accent and know that you are from the United States, get in the car, I, know what kind of place you need. ”

"Oh, I'm so lucky. Zhang Lisheng got into the taxi.

The driver started the car and said, "Oh, I can't understand the age of foreigners, are you here to work or to study, sir?"

"Anyone else comes here to study?" Hearing this, Zhang Lisheng blurted out in surprise, "Well, I didn't mean that, really, you know, it's just..."

"It doesn't matter, I can understand, I can understand, in the eyes of most people in the United States, the United States is the center of the economy, culture, science and technology in the world, and of course the people of the United States should not come to South Africa to study.

What's more, the University of the Witwatersrand, the best university in Johannesburg, is not yet an 'international famous university'. The driver said this, but his face was obviously much uglier, until he drove Zhang Lisheng to a side street close to the city's bustling main road, parked the car in front of several conjoined high-rise apartment buildings, and did not say anything more.

The driver ignored him, and the young man naturally wouldn't be bored with himself, let alone explain that he was a 'Chinese person', and he was embarrassed by Huaxia, and after the taxi stopped, he threw out 50 meters of yuan and ran out of the car.

Stepping on the streets of an African city for the first time, Zhang Lisheng looked around and found that although the street he was on was a side street, it was also brightly lit, which was completely the scene of a modern city.

There were many pedestrians bustling on the street, most of them black, but they were not at all as vulgar and rude as they imagined, except for some differences in dress, and their speech and demeanor were almost the same as those of black people in the New York street market, and they even seemed more cultured.

"Such a civilized city really doesn't look like Africa, but think about it, this is Johannesburg after all, a window to African civilization. Zhang Lisheng muttered to himself and walked into the apartment building next to him that said 'Antelope Nest' on the signboard.

The space in the building is very narrow, except for a front desk that can only accommodate one person to sit in the back, it is not at all the appearance of the front hall of the noble apartment in the memory of the teenager, if it is not for the fact that there are elevators in the corridors on both sides of the front desk, he is likely to push the door and leave without asking.

"Do you need to rent a room, guest?" asked a girl with big breasts, big eyes, thick lips, curly hair, and shiny skin leaning against the front desk after standing up from a wooden chair.

"I'm renting an apartment, but I'd like to see your room first. ”

"The room package is satisfactory to you, and by renting our room, you can also enjoy the special service of the front desk lady at a discount. The black girl licked her lips and said.

"I don't need special services, I just want a single room with a clean, own bathroom, and a big bed. ”

"If you want to bring your own bathroom, you must have a big bed, in that case, it will cost at least nine hundred rand a month, and you are from the United States with an accent, so you can also pay rice dollars, and it will cost forty-five rand a day if you rent it every day..."

This kind of rent is by no means cheap in Johannesburg, but Zhang Lisheng nodded without hesitation, "It's no problem, but I have to look at the room first." ”

"It's not lively at such a glance, I really don't know if you're a U.S. or a German, am I going to lie to you?" The black girl reluctantly took a few room cards for the vacant room at the front desk and took the boy to see the room.

The layout of the apartments is more or less the same, and the best single room is a single room with an area of nearly 20 square meters, a large bed, a bedside table, a wardrobe, a computer, and a small bathroom with a shower.

However, the interior is very delicate, from the stylish blue ceiling ceiling lamps to the thatched carpets in the Aboriginal style of South Africa.

In order to disappear completely, Zhang Lisheng, who did not choose to live in a top resort hotel, saw the environment of the apartment, and even if he was satisfied with the prepayment of a month's room rate, he lived in the innermost single room in the west corridor on the first floor.

Since then, he has settled down in Johannesburg, and in addition to practicing every day, he has been paying attention to the movements of the strange armed forces in Cape Town, South Africa, which are confronting the government forces, on the computer, or going to a small park near the apartment building to practice the five forms of 'splitting, collapsing, drilling, cannon, and horizontal' with the breathing method, and he has lived a leisurely life for two or three months.

The solar terms are gradually coming to spring, and although the temperature difference between the four seasons in Johannesburg is not large, the weather is still inevitably warmer.

Zhang Lisheng didn't bring any luggage when he came to South Africa, all his clothes and shoes were sold on the spot, and after dozens of days of edification, his accent was already able to vividly imitate the locals......

On this day, the boy practiced the secret method all night, and after waking up, he watched the news on the Internet for a while, and found that the news of the South African government army and the mysterious intruder in Cape Town was still entangled, so he turned off the computer in boredom.

"Such an obvious invasion of the 'Otherworldly Realm', but without any major powers intervening, it seems that everyone is already riding a tiger, and they have to take care of their own affairs first..."The young man muttered to himself and hummed a song and took a hot bath.

Walking out of the apartment building, I bought a few cow hooves at a fast food restaurant called 'African Thatched Hut' on the side of the street that sells South African specialty food, and came to the street park while nibbling, and began to practice boxing with Chaoyang.

In the morning, there were many locals of all colors exercising in the small park, among them, under the influence of Zhang Lisheng in the past few months, there were also a few black people, slowly imitating his movements and stretching their legs and feet to box.

From the outside, these people are full of strength when they swing their fists, and they fight more brilliantly than him, but in the eyes of insiders, the two are completely different in their gestures.

When the young man made a few "shelves" in a loop, and then used the "play" method of "splitting, collapsing, drilling, cannon, and horizontal" without leaving the square inch, and was about to leave, he suddenly heard a Chinese shout from the side, "Okay, it's really good, this boxing fight is not bad." ”

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw a Chinese old man with a dark face, full of wind and frost from the sun and rain, aged 60 years old, wearing an awkwardly tailored and well-textured suit, giving himself a thumbs up.

"Uncle, do you also know boxing?" Seeing that it was an old man in his homeland, Zhang Lisheng said politely in Mandarin full of western Sichuan accent.

"You, you can speak Chinese, and your accent is like that of western Sichuan, are you Chinese?" said the old man in surprise.

"I'm a native of western Sichuan, and I'm here to visit Johannesburg. ”

Hearing this, the old man looked at Zhang Lisheng for a moment, grinned and said: "Travel, tourism has to dress like you early in the morning, practice your fists and feet in the park, come to work, come to work, export labor, eat with strength, and be ashamed." ”

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, smiled noncommittally, picked up the cow's hooves and put them at his feet, "What do you like to think, I'm leaving, uncle." ”

"Don't go yet, the two of us have traveled thousands of miles from China to Africa to meet, what a fate this is, don't gnaw on the cow's hooves, there is no meat at all, go, uncle, please have a good meal." The old man's rough fingers clasped Zhang Lisheng's wrist and said.

"Hey, I didn't expect that the old man is also a practitioner," Zhang Lisheng was slightly startled in his heart, and subconsciously stomped his foot and shook the old man's palm, "Xie Lu, thank you, but after I came to the city, I will have this cow's hoof, and it will be done." ”

"That's not possible, I'll still have this meal, uncle. The old man looked directly at the young man, and a strange yellow light suddenly rolled out in his eyes, and he said in a hurried voice. (To be continued.) )
