Cars roared past one after another, and Canglong walked on the streets, feeling the prosperity of Dongning.
For many Westerners who have never been to China, they are exposed to a lot of negative news about China. From one poverty-stricken movie to another, they feel the hardships and hardships in China. They even feel that most of them
Chinese people are in a state of half-full and hungry.
Most of these come from the poverty films by Chinese directors that are popular in the West. Therefore, Westerners are accustomed to feeling that in addition to the vast relics of ancient civilization left behind in China, the people here are still living in a kind of life in the 1950s and 1960s.
In the so-called barbaric state that broke away from civilization in the 1900s, even if China's rich people began to spend money in the West, Westerners would only think that these were just a small number of Chinese people at the top.
This kind of habitual thinking, even when Westerners come to China and return to their countries and tell their people about everything here, they still don't believe it, or they don't want to believe it.
China, this ancient civilization, is no longer what it used to be. Rather than saying that Westerners are afraid of China's rise, it is better to say that they are unwilling to believe in China's rise. This has caused the export of China's modern culture to be difficult in the West.
Canglong once thought so, but as he gained more experience, this naive idea disappeared. Even though he had not been to China at that time, he could feel the changes that China had brought to the world, dumping in the world
Chinese products everywhere are not of high quality, but they are very cheap.
China is using its own way to change the world step by step. This is what Westerners fear, so they do not want to believe that China is getting stronger and surpassing them.
This is just like how Chinese people look at the United States. There are high-rise buildings and gold everywhere. It seems that as long as you enter this country, you will go to heaven. But in fact, in every city in the United States, various poverty phenomena are flashing across the modern world.
Although the slums in the United States are not as poor as they used to be, they are still full of drugs and crime.
Americans’ propaganda methods are far superior to those of the Chinese, because they have a Hollywood that guides the mainstream of the world and controls people’s vision.
In movies, you can see Americans reflecting on their sins, but you can never see Americans' poverty, and this is exactly the fact they want to cover up, because they are unwilling to admit that they are poor, even if they live in slums.
Here, Americans are caught between crime and drugs.
While the United States is burdened with high national debt from China, it is also shouting threats from China. In a Chinese term, it is a white-eyed wolf, and it lives up to its name.
Being famous is not as good as seeing it. Although he has only been in this country for a few days, he was surprised to find the prosperity of this country, especially the people who are busy behind the prosperity. Everything here is in line with the West, and many places are even better than the West.
And nothing less.
The mother holding her child, the company employee who was afraid of being late, the company employee who was running like hell, the uncle who was riding a motorcycle planning to go out to do groceries, the restaurants on the roadside were always crowded, and shouts came and went, at bus stations, subways, supermarkets, etc.
Various traffic routes cover every corner of the city like a spider web, and batches of people are loaded and unloaded like cargo.
The whole city is like a busy empty shell. Everyone is busy and busy with their own difficult lives. Behind the prosperity, Canglong always feels that something is missing. Where is the civilization of China, an ancient civilized country?
There is a saying in the West that the easiest people to deal with in the world are the Chinese, and the hardest to understand are also the Chinese. Why is it so difficult to understand? It seems that Canglong somewhat understands.
Walking around the streets of Dongning City, Canglong wandered casually, his eyes casually passing by the people passing by him, judging their profession and behavior. What left Canglong speechless the most was the liar here.
There are so many that are unbelievable, and the deception methods are diverse.
Canglong took out money and gave it to a middle-aged man begging on the road, but after a while, when he wandered to the other side of the city, he saw the middle-aged man again, but the difference was that this young man changed his attitude.
Some of the begging words and phrases were changed in his attire, and his appearance was changed so that an ordinary person would never recognize him as the man who had been begging on the other side of the city.
However, Canglong didn't try to expose him, he just walked past him indifferently without much expression, just like an ordinary person who passed by him.
After buying the things he needed, it was getting dark. When he passed by the entrance of a supermarket, he saw a strange scene. A little girl kept asking passers-by, as if she was praying for something, but the passers-by just ignored her.
Leave.
The strange thing is that this little girl is extremely beautiful. She looks about eight or nine years old. She has a delicate nose on her fair and rosy face, and her pursed mouth flashes with a bit of heartbreaking grievance.
, when she asked passers-by, she reluctantly showed a smile, and her watery eyes were a bit watery, making her look even more pitiful.
Passers-by were a little enthusiastic when they first met him, but once they heard what he said, they avoided him. The entrance to the supermarket was also the only way Canglong passed by.
He walked over step by step, and when he saw the little girl up close, she had a somewhat unusual temperament. Canglong felt that this was definitely not a child who grew up in an ordinary family. He made people feel affectionate at first sight.
The little girl spotted Cang Long carrying something, so he walked towards her.
It was still the forced and stubborn smile, but when she smiled, there was mist in her eyes, which made people feel pitiful. Canglong was not interested in hearing what the girl said, and hurried past her in a few steps. At the last moment, he saw
What's more is the little girl's fear, as if she doesn't understand why Canglong is not attracted to her.
However, when Canglong was about to stride away, suddenly a delicate but somewhat crying voice came from behind: "Brother, I'm hungry."
At this moment, Canglong's heart felt like being pricked by a needle. He felt extremely uncomfortable, but his pace quickened. He didn't want to pay attention to it, because it had nothing to do with him, no matter what the origin of this little girl was or what she had.
encounter, but he is just a killer and there are many things he cannot control.
However, after he took a few steps, he stopped involuntarily. He gritted his teeth and turned around, and saw the little girl staring at her blankly, with a bit of surprise in her smart and pure eyes, but also...
Chu Chu was at a loss.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Canglong turned around and walked to the little girl's side, saying calmly: "I'll take you to eat."
"I...I...I want money!" the little girl said with some fear. Compared with those professional liars, she was very bad at begging. When she spoke, her eyes seemed to be filled with mist.
It wanted to condense into drops and fall, but he resisted and refused to let it fall, "Just...just...just one hundred yuan will be fine."
Cang Long felt strange in his heart. He took out his wallet and prepared to give a hundred yuan to the little girl. He didn't even want to ask her why she needed a hundred yuan, and why she was here alone asking passers-by for the hundred yuan.
All he wanted was to give it to the little girl quickly and then leave quickly, because the feeling in his heart told him that if he stayed here, something bad would happen.
However, at this moment, a passer-by winked at him, causing his eyes to look at a man and a woman in the distance of the supermarket. The man was smoking, while the woman was looking over here and saw Canglong.
After sizing her up, the woman immediately moved her gaze to a distance.
Shaking his head, Canglong suddenly took back his wallet. The little girl suddenly showed a disappointed expression, and couldn't help but shed tears. She looked at him blankly, as if she was longing for and afraid of something. In the process, that
The man who was smoking also looked over from time to time.
Canglong frowned, suddenly took the little girl's hand, and said, "I'll take you to eat, okay?"
The little girl trembled, a little panicked, her eyes couldn't help but look at the man and woman in the distance, and finally began to struggle, but Canglong found that while struggling, the little girl longed for Canglong not to let go.
"Don't worry, no one can hurt you by my side." A smile appeared on Canglong's face and his tone was firm.
The little girl looked at Canglong blankly, and finally stopped struggling, so Canglong took the little girl towards the restaurant in the distance, but the expressions of the man and woman in the distance changed. The woman chased after him first, with a sharp voice
Came the message: "Hey, what are you doing?"
Hearing this voice, the little girl trembled all over. Originally it was Canglong holding her hand, but in turn it was the little girl holding his hand tightly, as if he wanted Canglong to take her and run away, but Canglong didn't.
He held the little girl calmly. The closer the woman in the distance came, the more the little girl's body trembled. It was a sign of deep fear.
"What do you want to do, kidnap a child?" The woman's voice was sharp and harsh. She was carrying a small red bag on her left and right sides. She was dressed very coquettishly. The strong smell of perfume on her body was not alluring at all, but rather disgusting.
There is no better way to describe her than vulgar.
The little girl was frightened when she heard this voice and hid behind Canglong. Although she could not see her expression, Canglong could feel the deep fear in her heart from her increasingly trembling body. This could not help but touch Canglong's memory.
Something about it made his decision even firmer.
"Go away!" Two cold words came out of Cang Long's mouth, causing the face of the coquettishly dressed woman to change immediately.
She swallowed and seemed to feel guilty, but when she saw the man approaching from a distance, she immediately shouted: "Honey, come on, come on, someone wants to abduct my daughter."
"Who, who, whoever dares to rob my daughter will die." The man's voice seemed strong, but it was a bit feminine and vicious.
Passers-by watched and watched, and some even whispered to the side, "Let go of this little girl. You can't afford to offend these people."
"Can't you afford to offend me?" Cang Long frowned, he was going to offend him today...
