Chapter 834 (1/2)
”Hey, look, is this girl the captain? It's a pity that such a beautiful woman can't sleep. ” In the crowded street, a group of dirty men pointed to Alice and muttered obscene, with obvious contempt in their eyes.
Alice took gray past them, but left them alone.
She sees a lot of such people. There's no need to care. If they are more serious, these guys will be more disgusting and difficult to deal with.
Gray's fingers moved slightly. Several guys fell and ate shit. He left happily.
”Don't worry about them, just a group of hooligans.” Alice also noticed that they fell, knew it was gray's action, and shook her head lightly.
However, although he didn't care, Alice was very sweet in her heart. It was one thing to say no, but whether he was willing to stand up for her was another matter.
Pulling gray to speed up their steps, they quickly walked towards the busy street in front of them.
Gray walked passively, looking curiously at the shops and pedestrians around.
Pedestrians coming and going have different dress habits. They look like a pot of hodgepodge, but they are very harmonious.
”Here!” Alice took gray to a shop in front of which was a men's shop.
”We need clothes that are in line with the times!” Alice looked at him with a smile. ”Sir, your taste is behind!”
”No, this is the tide card hundreds of years later!” Gray shook his head. He didn't wear the clothes of his kingdom, but the clothes of the high-tech era hundreds of years later.
”Then you can wear it after hundreds of years. What you need now is a dress just made this year!” Alice took gray into the shop.
After gray chose a few at random and praised them, Alice paid and took him to the crew who got off the ship to buy supplies.
She is not his majesty. She likes to be a shopkeeper and leave everything to the people below.
As a qualified captain, Alice did many things herself to ensure that there would be no big problems when she sailed.
”Eh?” Gray was suddenly attracted by the people in long coats in front of him.
”What's the matter?”
”It's all right. Go find them. I'll walk around here and go back to the ship when it's time!”
Alice stared into his eyes for a moment and said nothing more. Gray's strength should not be in danger here.
When Alice left, gray turned and walked towards the three men in long coats who had just passed him.
Three people, two middle-aged people and a young man. They are still discussing something in Chinese.
One of the middle-aged men said, ”young master, the master sent you abroad just to let you get a foothold in western countries, start a family and establish a new Lu family. Why do you have to come back?”
”Now the Qing Dynasty is in danger, the imperial court is corrupt, the army is relaxed, and foreigners' warships are unscrupulous along the coast. It's not wise to go back!”
”What you have learned should serve the country and save the people. If you can't revive your family and country and learn more knowledge, what's the use?” The young man looked calm and refuted faintly.
”But now the imperial court is corrupt. Even if you learn something, you can't do it...”
The young man raised his hand to stop him from going on. His eyes were firm and said, ”Uncle Hong doesn't have to say much. I've made up my mind. I will learn all I can to make China a great country and become a world power.”
The middle-aged sighed and stopped talking.
He has advised many times, but none of them worked. Otherwise, they should still be in the West and won't come here.
The three walked into a restaurant and gray followed them in.
Soon, the three sat down. Gray walked over and smiled at the young man, ”I don't have any money with me. I'm just hungry. Can you buy me a meal?”
Lu Lin looked up in surprise at the speech, but found that he was not a compatriot, but a blonde foreigner with black eyes.
”Can you speak Chinese?” This surprised him even more. Apart from the two people who took care of him, he had not heard anyone speak Chinese for a long time, and he was still such a foreigner.
”I've learned some. I'm very interested in Chinese culture.” Gray smiled and nodded.
”Uncle Hong, you two go and change a table. I'll talk to this gentleman.” Lu Lin said to the middle-aged man. The two middle-aged men sitting opposite him nodded to gray, got up and changed their positions, ”please sit down. My name is Lu Lin and the word is Xingchao. What do you call me?”
