It is simply the Jianchao scene in the novel.
Ruan Qing held back her excitement and tried her best to tell Twenty-Seven calmly: "This is the human world."
"Since this is the human world," Twenty-Seven asked, "Why is this so?"
What I saw was incredible, and it didn't look like the human world.
Ruan Qing thought for a while and said, "You just asked me where this place is, and I can answer you now. But you, please listen and stay calm."
"If I hadn't calmed down, I would have been stunned and horrified by what I saw before me." Twenty-seven said calmly, "Miss Ruan, just tell me."
Being able to use two idioms in succession, Ruan Qing felt that Twenty-Seven should not only "know words", but should also be well educated.
This is good.
Under the streetlight, she glanced at him. The young man's straight nose leaves a shadow on the side of his face, making his face look more three-dimensional and calm.
Ruan Qing finally spoke and told him: "This is the Jiangcheng you mentioned."
"You smashed it." Ruan Qing told Nian Qi, "You fell from the air and landed on the roof of my car."
Twenty-seven was silent for a moment under the street lamp, then took two steps and followed her.
Carts, donkey carts, mule carts, and the iron cart in front of you are all carts. Just understand this.
Ruan Qing remembered that he had watched an old movie, in which people from the Qin Dynasty traveled to the Republic of China, and then got into the car and thought they were locked in an iron cage, and reacted violently. In order to prevent Nian Qi from having the same misunderstanding, she first taught him how to open and close the car door: "Look, this is the door lock. When you pull it, the lock will be unlocked. When you push it, the door will open. Although the space is relatively small when the door is closed, But the door will open as soon as it’s done, so don’t be afraid.”
Unlike her, he had read hundreds of time-travel novels and could accept the things before him smoothly.
Before Ruan Qing finished speaking, after explaining the car, she patted the roof of the car: "Look here."
Ruan Qing opened the passenger door for him: "You can take this seat."
For a brief moment, Ruan Qing felt that Twenty-Qi seemed frozen, like a statue.
The tone is a bit like teaching kindergarten children to understand the world.
I've seen this thing on the hospital board, and I've just seen several of them speeding past on the black road. Although there are no oxen, horses, or mules, so I can't understand how it can run, but that doesn't stop Twenty-Seven from understanding that it is a "car."
Twenty-seven raised his eyelids and glanced at her, nodded, and said "hmm" to express his understanding.
She stamped her feet on the asphalt road: "You are standing on the ground in Jiangcheng now."
At this time, Ruan Qing finally felt that it was wrong for her to be so excited - in her opinion, something like an adventure might mean great pain and fear to Twenty-Seven.
The roof is dented and deformed.
Twenty-seven stared at the sunken roof of the car and reached out to touch it.
"Ahem." She pointed to the side and whispered, "My car is over there..."
Ruan Qing turned around and took him away, then looked back at him worriedly. Twenty-seven was very silent, but his expression was very calm, and there was no clue.
Are you accepting and digesting this information
Taking care of everything and taking care of his emotions. Although a little verbose, her good intentions are obvious.
Relatives are separated, penniless, and the future is uncertain.
Walking to the car, Ruan Qing pointed to the car and said, "This is my car. It has four wheels and can run on the ground."
Twenty-seven glanced at her, said "Thank you", and got into the car.
Ruan Qing felt relieved and said, "Then I'll close the door."
She slammed the passenger door and quickly got into the car. She said, "This is a seat belt. It is inserted here for protection. Because the car is very fast, it is easy to brake suddenly or crash." It's out of danger. Just press this and it will be released. Don't be afraid."
Twenty-seven said implicitly: "Miss Ruan, just explain how to use it."
There is no need to always coax him to say "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid".
To be honest, when he grew up, he was taught "don't be afraid" since he was a child - not afraid of blood, not afraid of corpses, not allowed to be afraid of sharp blades entering flesh.
No one has ever said to him, "Don't be afraid."
Ruan Qing paused for a moment and said a little bit: "Okay, okay."
I need to adjust my mentality. Except for the sudden shock when I left the building, I have been very calm.
It was she who naturally thought that the other party should behave like Grandma Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden.
A condescending feeling of psychological superiority.
After silently adjusting his mentality, Ruan Qing got into the car.
The car lights come on. This time she stopped being wordy and changed it to something concise and concise: "Lamp."
Twenty-seven nodded.
The "lights" here are surprisingly bright, and there is no fire.
As the car started driving, Ruan Qing and Nian Qi stopped talking. Nian Qi spent all the way looking out the window at the tall buildings and strange roads. There were some cars with the same four wheels speeding side by side with Ruan Qing's car, and there were also people riding strange cars with two wheels, traveling slowly. The speed is much slower than that of four wheels, but you can clearly see how to move forward with the help of human power. Unlike this kind of four-wheeled vehicle, it is completely unclear what it relies on to move.
There are so many incredible, never-before-seen things. But these are actually not the point. The point is, why is he here and what should he do next
The car suddenly stopped at an empty intersection. There were no cars or people around.
Twenty-seven looked at Ruan Qing in surprise.
Ruan Qing pointed to the traffic light: "That's a traffic light, we call it a traffic light. Every car looks at the one directly in front of it. Red stops, green goes, and yellow tells you that red and green are about to switch. Look. , the light directly in front of us is red now, I can’t continue walking, I have to stop here and wait for it to turn green.”
She pointed to the traffic lights on both sides: "The two roads on both sides are now green. Now their cars can go on them, but we and the other side can't go on them."
Twenty-seven couldn't understand: "But now there is no one around, and there are no other cars except us, why can't we leave?"
"There are two reasons." Ruan Qing said, "First, you think there are no cars and no one, but in fact some cars are very fast. You can tell at a glance that there are no cars. When you run the red light, the car comes very quickly, and you directly It was a car accident."
"Another reason is that if you run a red light, you will be... well, you will be caught by the police." He felt that talking about "deduction of points" and "fine" might not be understandable to Twenty-seven, so Ruan Qing tried his best to use expressions that he could understand.
Twenty-seven was surprised: "Officer...Does the police still care about this?"
"Yes." Ruan Qing said, "There are two types of police. One is responsible for murder, arson, and theft, and is called a criminal policeman. The other is responsible for driving on the road, and is called a traffic policeman."
Twenty-seven thought to himself, the officials here have so much time to do, and they have to worry about other people's driving on the road.
How many government officials are there in a city? Are you too busy to come here
Ruan Qing looked at the empty intersection and knew that he couldn't understand it now, so he said, "It's too late now. You'll understand when you look at the cars on the road tomorrow during the day."
The red light turned green and Ruan Qing started.
"I don't mean to be verbose." She said as she drove. "The main thing is that there are many rules here that are unfamiliar to you. Ordinary people break the rules and deal with them as they should. It's not a big deal. But you are in a special situation now. When handling all these matters, the police will first look at your ID card.”
Twenty-seven was originally looking at the scenery outside the car, but after hearing this, he turned his head and looked at Ruan Qing's profile.
"Understood." He said in a very gentle tone, "Thank you."
There was no conversation all the way, there was no traffic jam at night, and the streetlights receded one by one. Nian Qi watched the car without oxen, horses and mules speeding across the wide road, passing through tall and long bridges, and finally entered a yard full of high-rise buildings. He entered from a surface entrance, drove downwards, and entered underground.
"Underground garage." Ruan Qing explained.
Twenty-seven didn't say anything, and stuck his head to look at the roof of the underground garage and the rows of cars.
After parking the car in his parking space, Ruan Qing turned off the engine: "We're here."
She got out of the car and wanted to open the door for Nian Qi, but Nian Qi had already opened the door and got out of the car.
He also knows how to close the door easily.
Ruan Qing paused, walked around to the back of the car and opened the trunk.
The cover blocked Twenty-Qi's view. When Ruan Qing closed the trunk lid again, Twenty-Seven saw that she was holding a long object. Although the thing was wrapped in clothes, the exposed handle still made Twenty-seven recognize it at a glance - it was his knife.
Ruan Qing glanced at him and showed no intention of returning the knife to him: "Follow me."
He took him all the way to the elevator.
When the elevator door opened, Twenty-Seven did not follow him. Instead, he stood outside and looked at this strange little room without any windows.
It's so strange, I've never seen a "room" like this before. If there is an ambush or trap, there will be no way to escape.
Ruan Qing turned to look at him, then looked at the elevator. He woke up, stretched out his hand and explained: "This is a vertical passage like a chimney built in a very tall building. And the elevator itself is actually like an iron There is a rope hanging on the box. When people enter, they can control it and use the rope to pull it up or down. I live on the 16th floor and we go up directly. Otherwise, I go up and down every day. You’ll definitely be exhausted from climbing 16 floors.”
Some things just need to be explained clearly and reasonably.
Along the way, Nianqi saw many incredibly tall buildings, and Ruan Qing's description of the elevator sounded very reasonable. He finally stepped into the elevator.
Ruan Qing pointed to the elevator button and told him: "One button corresponds to one floor. I live on the 16th floor. After pressing 16, the door will automatically close."
She pressed the button and showed him.
Because the explanation was clear, there was nothing wrong with Twenty-Seven. But Ruan Qing vaguely noticed from the corner of his eye and feeling that he was holding his breath, and there was a sense of energy building up in his body.
Although a person's expression can be disguised, the feeling of being ready to go cannot be hidden.
The vigilance is quite strong.
After all, he was a man wearing night clothes, covering his face, and carrying a bloody knife.
Ruan Qing hugged the knife tighter.
As soon as the elevator started moving, Twenty-Seven knew that Ruan Qing had not lied to him. Although you can't see the outside, you do feel like you are rising.
And it rises very quickly.
The pattern on the wall that glowed kept changing, and soon it became the same as the pattern "16" on the button Ruan Qing pressed.
There was a clang and the door opened.
Twenty-seven took a long breath.
What a powerful mechanism.
