"It's not because you caused trouble!" Yan Bai said to Fan Caiqi angrily.
"It's not because you are hiding in the corner!" Fan Caiqi replied not to be outdone.
"Anyway, I don't want to continue to be looked at here like a panda. If you want to stay here, then just stay here. I can just leave by myself." Yan Bai said directly.
"You!!" Miss Fan's eyes widened. No one had ever dared to go against her will, but Yan Bai was different. The key was that Yan Bai couldn't see Miss Fan's reaction, which made Fan Caiqi feel wasteful.
The feeling of the expression is just that Yan Bai is blind, which makes Fan Caiqi unable to find anything to say.
"Okay, let's go!" Fan Caiqi reluctantly agreed. She was here to play with Yan Bai. Now that Yan Bai is leaving, Fan Caiqi has no reason to stay.
"That's it. Dashi Temple is here anyway and you won't run away. If you want to come, you can come at any time." Seeing that Fan Caiqi's mood had softened, Yan Bai comforted her.
"Tch, how can I have more fun coming with you when I come alone?" Fan Caiqi couldn't help but muttered. Although Miss Fan is quite famous in Bashu, she doesn't have many real friends. She usually just follows that group.
The maids and maids were together, and although the young masters and ladies all knew each other, none of them could get close to Fan Caiqi.
After all, Miss Fan loves martial arts but not literature. There is nothing wrong with practicing martial arts. It is the same in this world. But as an upper-class person, you still have to practice writing. Just like Huo Jitong before, if you want to integrate into this circle,
You have to pretend to be fake. But Fan Caiqi is a woman with a true temperament. She just doesn't pretend. She is not willing to do anything she doesn't like anyway. Although Fan Zhuo once forced her, Fan Caiqi will naturally not take it seriously.
Nothing was done.
Gradually, Fan Zhuo gave up. Fan Caiqi was his only daughter, so he let her do whatever she wanted. In short, Fan Caiqi's boyish character seemed out of place in the upper class society, so he asked her to put down her stature and be like ordinary people.
Miss Fan couldn't let go of her dignity when it came to making friends, which led to the current situation.
However, Fan Caiqi was not a passive person. She returned to normal in a blink of an eye. She pulled Yan Bai and asked,
"By the way, I heard you talk about panda just now. What is that? Is it a kind of cat?"
Yan Bai thought for a while and said,
"The term panda is a misnomer. It should be called panda. It is a rare kind of bear with black and white hair and a pair of dark circles under its eyes. You should have heard of it."
After all, this is Chengdu, and pandas live in Sichuan, so Yan Bai judged that Fan Caiqi should have heard about them even if he had never seen them.
"You're talking about the iron-eating beast?! Have you seen it with your own eyes?!" Fan Caiqi exclaimed in surprise.
"Iron-eating beast?" Yan Bai showed a strange look. He was not an encyclopedia and didn't know what the giant panda was called in ancient times.
Dongfang Shuo's "Shenyi Jing" of the Han Dynasty said: "There is a beast in the south, and its name is Bitie."
Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty also wrote in his annotation "Erya Shi Beast": "It looks like a bear, with a small head and paralyzed feet. It is black and white and can lick copper, iron and bamboo bones."
Of course, Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty later also wrote in "The First Collection of New Qixie": "There is a tapir beast in Fang County. It likes to eat copper and iron without hurting people. It will make people salivate when they see it, such as plows, hoes, knives and axes."
Like rot. The iron sheets covering the city gates are all eaten away."
I don’t know if anyone has ever seen a panda eat iron with their own eyes, but at least that’s the rumor.
"I don't know whether it eats iron or not, but I know it eats bamboo," Yan Bai said.
"That should be it. I also heard that iron-eating beasts will eat bamboo to satisfy their hunger when they have no iron to eat. Where did you see it? Tell me! It was when you could still see it before, right?
!" Fan Caiqi said excitedly. These rare beasts were deified in ancient times, just like white tigers. Of course, there are also mythical beasts such as unicorns and green dragons in legends.
Fan Caiqi has never seen a panda. Now that there is an insider right in front of her, it is naturally much more real than hearsay.
After listening to Fan Caiqi's words, Yan Bai couldn't help but smile bitterly, 'When I don't have iron to eat, I use bamboo to satisfy my hunger'? Who told this? Of course, the evolutionary history of pandas is strange enough. Bears are originally carnivores, but pandas can actually
It's really a magical thing to evolve into eating bamboo.
It’s just that Yan Bai is not a zoologist. Although he is also curious about what is going on, he has no intention of going to the mountains to study. Of course, even if he goes, he will not be able to study anything without the corresponding knowledge. So, Yan Bai
He briefly told Fan Caiqi about the situation of pandas, all of which were knowledge from later generations, but at least Yan Bai had actually seen real pandas in the zoo, so he was much more confident in talking about them than reciting those poems.
"I didn't expect the iron-eating beast to be so interesting. Others say it doesn't hurt people, but it turns out it's true. Yan Bai! Since you saw it, why didn't you catch it back!" Fan Caiqi couldn't help but say, looking like she was regretful.
It was just like she personally missed the opportunity to capture the panda.
"I was still young at that time. I just saw it from a distance. How could I catch it?" Yan Bai lied. He couldn't possibly say that he was kept in a cage. In that case, Miss Fan would definitely call Yan Bai.
I took her to see it for nothing.
"That's really a pity, but it's great that you have traveled to so many places, Yan Bai, and you can also see legendary beasts like the Iron-eating Beast." Fan Caiqi said enviously.
"Don't envy me. I just used a short time to see all the scenery of your life. Look, am I blind now?" Yan Bai pointed at his eyes and said. He didn't mean to deceive Fan Caiqi.
I just don't want Fan Caiqi to really run away because she is envious of him. You must know that in this era, everything outside Bashu is too dangerous.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of the eyes." Fan Caiqi thought it reminded Yan Bai of something sad, so she apologized in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter, I'm blind to begin with! It's already this time, let's go find a place to eat!" Yan Bai said with a smile. In fact, if Yan Bai is really blind, he shouldn't be able to show it.
So open-minded and optimistic.
"Well, I'll take you to a place. The food there is delicious!" Fan Caiqi chirped again.
What a naturally optimistic girl! Yan Bai couldn't help but smile.
He and Fan Caiqi came to a restaurant. Yan Bai didn't know what kind of place it was, but since it was a place recommended by Fan Caiqi, it obviously tasted good. Yan Bai didn't care too much about eating. Although the taste of the food was important,
Who you eat with is the most important thing.
In Youlin Villa, the food is all prepared by Shi Qingxuan himself. Although the taste is average and relatively bland, there is a saying that it is beautiful and delicious. When Yan Bai looked at Shi Qingxuan, he already felt that it was the most delicious food in the world.
.
"By the way, did you just meet the great virtuous holy monk at Dashi Temple?!" Fan Caiqi was always surprised like this.
"Yes, he even gave me some pointers. Otherwise, do you think my poems are so cheap and I just kept them to apologize for you?!" Yan Bai said naturally.
Fan Caiqi glanced at Yan Bai's face. She was not shocked by Yan Bai's words, but was surprised by Yan Bai's fate.
"The great virtuous holy monk is a holy monk! It's not easy for ordinary people to see him, and he actually gives you advice! Are you the reincarnation of a god?!" Fan Caiqi couldn't help but said, if Yan Bai hadn't been blind, Fan Caiqi would still have
I really want to regard him as a god, and it is precisely because Yan Bai is blind that it makes him feel more real. God is jealous of talents. If a person is too perfect, he should encounter disasters. While gaining adventures, he should also lose something.
. Only in this way can people feel that the world is fair and God will not favor anyone.
