Chapter 36 Unfamiliar life, there are problems everywhere
Facts have proved that when a guy who is extremely abnormal from all aspects confidently tells you that everything is taken care of by her, then basically you can't count on anything - Hao Ren realized this truth relatively late,
So it wasn't until Vivian asked the locals about it in authentic English with the original Anglo-Saxon accent that he was stunned on the spot, deeply doubting whether his preparations for setting off this time were too hasty.
Quite a bit.
A dizzy little landlady, a second-rate werewolf who was almost asleep but still trying to walk upright, and a vampire who seemed reliable at ordinary times but was completely unscrupulous at critical moments. These three people came to a foreign country with confidence.
They encountered an unprecedented crisis in a foreign country: they didn't know the way, they didn't understand the language, and because they didn't make relevant preparations when they set off, they didn't even check online where to find someone to ask for directions when they didn't understand the language. Of course, there was also experience.
Hao Ren was a little confused because of the reason. He hadn't even thought of asking the airport staff for emergency help - in theory, even if the staff here couldn't pass CET 4 or 6 in Mandarin, they could at least tell you how to get to the nearest embassy.
In the end, this unscrupulous guy didn't even think about it.
Vivian spoke in a strange accent and communicated with a local old man passing by for a long time. Hao Ren was dazed beside him listening to the old English that had been lost for who knows how many years. The old man who was pulled by Vivian was more than
He was so stunned that despite his age, the old man was asked "what" repeatedly by the native language of his country (the real thing)...
"Stop trying so hard," Hao Ren pulled Vivian, "You used this English around 1100 AD. Do you know how big the difference between the accents of ancient people a thousand years ago and modern people can be?
Huh? Go home and look up the ancient Chinese pronunciation on the Internet and you will understand."
Vivian looked frustrated: "Why has it changed so much? I also said that only the surrounding environment is different. At least people's speech should not have changed. At most, what I said is equivalent to classical Chinese to them... How can this be connected?
Has the pronunciation changed?"
Hao Ren let out a long sigh: "When you were first born, human speech was basically based on shouting and beating the chest and feet vigorously. You couldn't have never thought about this, no matter how stupid you were, right?"
"I'm not that old, okay?" Vivian stared, "You're talking about the primitive age!"
At this time, the British old man who was confused by Vivian saw that the two young men and women seemed to be quarreling, and hurriedly came up to dissuade him (the old man was quite a gentleman, and he didn't even bother to bother with the almost alien language of Old English for so long.
Annoyed), the old man tugged on Hao Ren's arm and kept asking: "Chinese? Are you Chinese?"
Hao Ren blinked. Fortunately, his little knowledge of English had not been completely thrown away by his teacher, so he nodded vigorously.
The very patient old gentleman smiled and raised his hand to point to an open space next to the terminal building: there stood airport staff in uniform: This time, even if Hao Ren and Vivian are slow, they should start to understand.
Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other awkwardly, thanked the old gentleman repeatedly, and then dragged Lily, who was sleeping upright, to the terminal staff. The other person was a handsome young man with a neat uniform and looked very energetic.
, Vivian stepped forward and asked: "%￥@@%￥#￥#%￥@?"
Hao Ren pushed aside the vampire who had lost his chain at the critical moment, and looked at the young man at the airport who looked puzzled with a smile: "Excuse me, what do you think of this place..." Halfway through, he suddenly realized that it might not work like this.
, so he slowed down his tone and changed to more standard Mandarin: "Hello, I don't speak English. I want to go somewhere. Who should I talk to?"
The airport guy frowned and listened slowly, spelling out the phonetic symbols in his mind for a long time, then showed a professional smile, pointed to the parking lot not far away, and said in very poor Chinese: "There are several taxi drivers there.
Chinese, go...go...let him help you."
Obviously, the young man at the airport couldn't hold it in anymore.
This was already quite satisfying. Hao Ren happily thanked the guy at the airport. When he turned towards the parking lot, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: I never expected that he could face Arthur Pendragon.
The vampire who had the upper hand in scolding was of no use at all. The latter's greatest achievement in "English" was to confuse a foreign friend by talking to him. In the end, he actually used Chinese to ask for directions...
Life is indeed more exciting than novels, because life is not rational at all!
"We'll go to bed later when we get to the hotel. Just hold on for a while." Hao Ren turned around and patted Lily on the shoulder, but the only response he got was a series of slight snores. This nervous werewolf girl would never snore anywhere.
It messed up her biological clock. It was early morning in London, and it was also the time when Lily was taking a nap at home. She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She was following Hao Ren with her eyes closed and snoring. However,
Fortunately, the keen five senses of a wild animal have not been lost: Lily followed Hao Ren and Vivian, walking with her eyes closed and her nose slightly raised, relying on the smell to keep following, and she didn't lose them...
Hao Ren quickly found the "Chinese taxi driver" as the guy at the airport called him, and his skin color matched. However, he found several locals who were born and raised in the country: British Chinese, and their Chinese skills were better than
The guy at the airport was not so good. Looking at the address Hao Ren copied down in Chinese characters was like reading a book from heaven...
After struggling for a long time, he finally found someone whose Chinese skills were barely passable. Hao Ren felt that he was exhausted, and all the inconveniences of traveling to a foreign country came to his mind. Until then, he began to think, "I can cheat a lot of money."
The novelty of "traveling abroad on public funds" slowly dissipated, and he realized that this was really a task, a physically and mentally exhausting task - Raven 12345 said it was to train new employees' work abilities, but this was really not the case at all.
Fake!
It is estimated that Raven 12345 calculated from the beginning that Hao Ren would immediately forget about it after getting the opportunity to travel with large sums of money and public funds, and then go out without any plan.
Of course, there is another possibility: Raven 12345 knew from the beginning that there were two people around Hao Ren who were neither successful nor successful, so they took this opportunity to let him adapt in advance...
Although many things were not prepared when he went out, at least Hao Ren knew to book a hotel online in advance, and because he had a lot of money, the hotel he booked was quite high-end. At least the hotel service was explained on their official homepage.
The staff is proficient in several foreign languages and can provide high-quality services to Chinese tourists - whether it is good quality or not, Hao Ren no longer dares to expect it. He just hopes that the waiter can take him to the room smoothly. After waiting for a quiet place, the first thing he does is to contact
Raven 12345, see if I can find some help with the mission.
After being driven for almost an hour by a Chinese driver who could barely speak the language, Hao Ren and his party finally entered the center of London and arrived at the door of the hotel they had booked before. They paid the full fare (I don't know if they were ripped off).
, now Hao Ren can no longer care about so much) After that, Vivian looked up at the sky, which was completely bright, and sighed slightly: "Many years have passed. When I came here, there were not so many houses here.
."
"Why don't you tell me that when you first set foot in Europe, humans were still living in trees?" Hao Ren supported Lily, who was stumbling around, and angrily complained about this good-for-nothing vampire, "Why don't you live so long?
Think carefully about the lifespan gap between you and human beings. Half of the reason why we encountered such difficulties today is that I have too high hopes for you."
Vivian frowned with a serious expression: "I have a good temper, but I also have the dignity of a high-ranking vampire. If you continue to be so sarcastic, you are treating the nobles..."
"Pay next month's rent."
"Of course you have a mouth. As a noble, I won't argue too much with you."
Hao Ren: "..."
For the first time in his life, he saw a nobleman who could be forced into this job by one month's rent!
"According to the plan, we will rest here for a day or two first, catch up on the jet lag, sort out the information, and then I will submit a report to Raven 12345, and then set off on the second or third day," Hao Ren sighed, "Raven
The address given by 12345 is too remote. Based on our experience this morning, it would be very difficult to find out from the locals."
The three of them walked towards the hotel door. On the sixth floor of the hotel that they had not noticed, the curtain on a window was suddenly pulled open. A sharp gaze glanced down for a few seconds, and then the curtain returned to its original position.
