Chapter 742 The Most Beautiful Encounter in the World

Although he once had a bird's-eye view of London from the observation room at an altitude of 10,000 meters, Fangran still felt like he was walking through the streets and experiencing the British style among the foreign-looking people and buildings. The city is unfamiliar to him,

Having no sense of direction, no destination, and no idea of ​​where the front leads makes him feel that the whole of London is like a huge maze.

Well, to put it simply

He is lost.

Originally I just wanted to find a supermarket, but I kept walking straight and it became more and more deserted. Then I turned around and changed the street and found Fang Ran back at the starting point. She covered her face and broke down quietly.

"Yao Shou, where are all these things!"

Unlike other big cities I've been to before, I didn't see many modern high-rise buildings in London. Most of them were white or dark yellow typical European-style buildings with about four floors, with triangular roofs or pointed hats. They were very compact. 's arranged together,

Then he was so dizzy that he couldn't find the north.

Although Fangran admits that his sense of direction is a bit weak, he still thinks that he has a normal way-finding ability. As for why he still gets lost

You tell me that there is no mobile phone or map navigation. If I throw you into London, will you be able to find the way? (Slap the table)! ?

Guru

Ah, I can't do it anymore. If I keep going like this, I will really starve to death.

If your baby doesn’t want to be the first participant in history to starve to death, then

Standing on the streets of London, Fangran walked around for more than an hour and couldn't even find the north. At this moment, he deeply understood how important mobile phones are to human beings. He looked at the streets of London with melancholy and made up his mind with difficulty. .

Sure enough, all I can do is find someone to ask for directions.

Standing in a leisure square in a commercial district, Fangran looked around at the crowds and kept filtering out targets. After excluding women, passers-by who were busy on their way, young people shopping together, etc., he finally focused his attention on Locked in a kind-faced person who is easy to attack when alone! An old man who is easier to talk to alone!

Although this was the first time that I had spoken normally to an ordinary foreigner like this, I had no choice but to hide my strength.

Hum, it’s time to show off your real skills!

Taking a deep breath, Fangran first conducted a tactical scan.

He looked around at the nearby streets and pretended that he couldn't find his destination, which was actually true. Then he sighed anxiously, pretending to be distressed. Finally, he pretended to happen to see an old man's surprise nearby, adding to the drama he was crazy about. The foreplay is over,

Hmm, why do you feel this is so weird?

But anyway! Acting like a normal person who wants to ask for directions, Fangran finally gave himself a 'don't be nervous' hint, then took off his hood and walked towards the lonely foreign grandfather with high spirits!

What? Why did you take off your hood, you ask?

щ(°Д°щ) If you wear a hood and ask for directions on a sunny day, won’t it make people suspicious? ?

In fact, many thieves in London take advantage of the opportunity to steal by asking for directions and blocking their view with newspapers or the like. So when you are at home or traveling, be sure to keep an eye on your belongings and don’t have any unnecessary good intentions.

"That eee e?"

(;) Well, that’s great. Fortunately, I learned about asking for directions in high school, so my baby remembers that the opening line is ee e instead of saying hell.

He walked slowly to the foreign grandfather's side. Although his pronunciation was slightly Chinese and had a strong flavor, Fangran selectively ignored the tentative words that he believed the other party would understand, and let his daughter and son, who was waiting for her, The old gentleman looked at him in surprise when he came back from shopping. When he saw that he was a foreigner, he smiled with enthusiasm and interest and replied:

"Oh, good morning, young man, welcome to London. It's a nice weather today. What can I do for you?"

Fangran: (°°)Uh

"hell?"

Foreign grandpa: ""

"???"

To be honest, Fangran, who was thinking that he was also a top student at a famous university in Beijing, would not have any problem asking for directions in English. After saying hello, Fangran could only force himself when he heard the foreign grandfather Tulu Tulu say a string of words. After hearing clearly the words 'gd g, wele, tday, what' and 't', I felt that I was impacted by the language differences.

And coincidentally, after seeing him tentatively reply "hell" after he finished speaking, the old man felt that he had also received the same shock.

"Ah, what I want to ask is Ditian, iwantg t is wrong, it's not this sentence structure, that hw an i um, I remember the supermarket is Susupo Mama kte?"

Feeling that the other party might be saying hello, Fangran felt that the atmosphere was awkward after replying hello. After quickly expressing his intention, he remembered halfway through that he didn't understand Chinese, and searched the remaining English words in his mind to see what was more polite. I forgot all the modal verbs and modal particles. I even spoke and gestured, and finally managed to come up with a sentence in English that was not good at grammar.

Let the other party's grandfather be stunned by the success.

Then after thinking for a long time, ‘Why is it a rhetorical question?’, I slowly understood and looked at him tentatively and returned:

"You want to ask me the way to the nearby supermarket, right?"

Although he didn't understand every word of the grandpa's words, Fangran still managed to grasp that the other party understood what he meant, and hurriedly grasped that the other party understood what he meant. He nodded and was moved to tears.

I'm sorry, English teacher, I shouldn't feel that English accounts for so many points in the exam. I'm sick. If I have another chance, I will definitely listen to your class carefully (tears)

Seeing him nodding quickly, he knew that this was a young foreigner who didn't understand English. The old man didn't waste any words. He tried to use simple words to point him in a direction completely opposite to the one Fangran took just now.

"Go straight from this direction, then turn left. After passing an intersection, turn right. Keep going straight and you will see it."

In the other party's deliberately slowed down London accent, he finally heard the familiar phrases such as 'g traight, t left, t right' and other basic and simple phrases at the junior high school level. Fangran, who was finally able to solve the second goal, hurriedly fucked himself Thank you in English at the construction site.

"Thank you, no, that three grams of oil is very h"

Then, while the sequence was still in his mind, he hurriedly walked in the direction that the grandfather pointed out to him, and asked for the exact way. Finally, he didn't have to worry about starving to death. Fangran breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and looked at the people who had just left behind him. that street.

I actually succeeded in plastic English at the construction site for the first time. In addition, I happened to meet an unlucky guy last night.

You seem to have pretty good luck, right?

Then fifteen minutes later.

Looking at the road behind me, I didn't recognize the surrounding streets and compact urban buildings, and I couldn't find any supermarkets.

Fang lost his way again and said: ""

Sorry, I take back what I just said (expressionless).

Do it! Is there something wrong with my ears? Why don’t I go straight, turn left, turn right, and then go straight again? ?

At this moment, Fangran had deep doubts about his junior high school-level construction site English.

I wonder if I have regressed to elementary school.

Looking at a new block in front of him, a new group of passers-by, Fangran who changed places and continued to get lost, almost trembled with a twitch of the corner of his mouth. It was not until this moment that he realized that the biggest real crisis he was facing at the moment was not at all. No money, no cell phone, no ID, no shelter or food,

But I don’t understand English! ! !

I can't understand what others are saying, I don't recognize the squiggle shop names on the street, I can't communicate, this is the real reason why the whole London is so strange and incomprehensible to each other, and being on the street is like being in a maze. reason!

It wasn’t until this moment of personal experience and being helpless that I understood from the bottom of my heart,

Mastering a foreign language is really important.

If it were Ye Sheng, Su Qun, or even Qing Ning, Gou, or even if Meng Lang encountered the current situation, Fangran could believe that they would not be stuck on the threshold of not knowing English.

To be honest, Fangran was actually very curious about what would happen if Ye Sheng was in his current situation.

Well, I always feel that I didn’t expect Sister Yesheng to be so panicked.

But I don’t want to miss those things. Looking at the maze-like streets of London in front of me, Fangran, who is lost again, is heartbroken at this moment. He plans to become a real-life ‘RPG’ that survives in London before finding a way to return to China.

It gave him the feeling that it was not just a zero-money, zero-level hell difficulty start,

And it doesn’t support Simplified Chinese

"Ah, I can't do it anymore"

His stomach couldn't help making a dove sound. Although he was not dizzy yet, Fangran, whose stomach was cramped and uncomfortable, sighed helplessly and looked at the nearby street while holding his forehead and talking to himself.

“I can only find a way to find someone who can speak Chinese.”

Otherwise, as someone who knows almost nothing about the humanistic environment of London, it would be impossible to survive here without being hunted.

Although it was impossible to swear an oath without the King of Gods, Fangran was absolutely praying sincerely from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

Destiny daddy, please give me a passing Chinese compatriot!

Even if she is just a girl, I will definitely have the courage to go up and talk to her!

But I don’t know if the goddess of fate really heard his prayer, or if he was really lucky after Tokyo. After thinking about it in his heart, to be honest, he didn’t have any expectations, and sighed while thinking about what to do. ,

What made Fangran slightly stunned for a second was that on the opposite side of the street where he was,

A girl who was a bit unusual among a group of foreigners walked out from the corner. She was about 1.7 meters tall and had a somewhat thin figure. Whether it was the bright red coat with cartoon patterns or the swaying ponytail, she exuded her charming personality. With a sunny and cheerful personality, he hummed a tune and walked away in a good mood in one direction.

When his eyes were stunned, before he could say, "Holy shit, a girl actually appeared!" ’ Fang Ran chased after him subconsciously.

Crossing the crosswalk on the streets of London, passing through the people passing by under the British buildings, I don’t know how many people reached out to pat her on the shoulder.

Until many, many years later, when Fangran recalled this scene in his memory, he couldn't help but think of a sentence.

The most beautiful encounter in the world is probably meeting another one of you

"That, this classmate"
