[Infrastructure] After being mistaken for a god

The flight finally landed at the airport. Inan and Daniel rushed to the crew to pick up a very special "passenger" from the special cabin.

The "passenger" always had his chest and belly raised, and a pair of small eyes stared at this peculiar "means of transportation".Looking at the expression on the flight attendant's face, Yi Nan knew that the little guy was not mischievous during the flight.Before leaving, the little guy did not forget to tweet "Jiu Jiu" to bid farewell to the flight attendant.

The flight attendant obviously had a good impression of this mighty and well-behaved bird of prey squatting on Yi Nan's shoulder, and asked Yi Nan casually, "How old is it?"

Yi Nan replied, "It's about two thousand years old!"

Stewardess: ...

"I'm sorry I was joking," Inan explained hastily, "it's more than ten years old. For the lifespan of a Saker, it's a young lad now."

The flight attendant nodded and waved his hand to say goodbye to Jiujiu: "Goodbye, handsome guy." When he saw Daniel who was following Yinan in a leisurely manner, he suddenly felt that he had made a mistake—Daniel's young and handsome appearance was indeed worthy of " "Handsome guy" are three words, but the temperament is there, it will make people feel that this title is really abrupt for him.

This time Daniel and Yi Nan came to Yi Nan's hometown side by side.

The main purpose of their visit was for academic exchanges, and on the other hand, they brought Saker Falcon Chirp back to do comparative research on bird genes—the falcons in the Mesopotamia are said to be the branch and descendant of the Saker Falcon population in Central and North Asia. The animal protection and research institutions here were very interested after hearing about Jiujiu's "life experience".

After Yinan applied to Daniel, Daniel decisively agreed to this "exchange".Not only that, he also put his name on the exchange list, and flew to the east with her all the way—in order to fulfill his promise of "never separate".

Here, Daniel, guided by Inan, begins to understand this civilization as old as Mesopotamia.Different from the Lianghe civilization, the ancient civilization of China has never been interrupted for thousands of years, and has been passed down to modern times.

Here, Yinan met his former teachers and alumni.They were all very proud of Yi Nan being able to complete the task of "Project Retracing Civilization" by himself.

But Yinan's teachers were still very puzzled: Why didn't she go east all the way to the hot land of China when she stayed alone in the ancient times for a long time? .

Yi Nan nodded: "That's a good question."

"I did try to go to the east, I tried both the sea route and the land route of the Silk Road. But when I entered the South Asian subcontinent, I found the problem of the weakening of the magnetic field - the further east I went, the weaker the magnetic field was. , very unstable. For the sake of safety, I still gave up this plan."

"I see." Experts in the technical field all showed expressions of understanding.

The center of the magnetic field of the "space-time tunnel" is in the Mesopotamia, the farther away from the center, the weaker the effect of the magnetic field, and the more prone to magnetic field disorder.Yinan had already reached the Indus River Valley at that time, and he really didn't dare to go further east.

"However, it seems really a pity now!" Yinan's teachers couldn't help sighing.

"If conditions permit, you can come to China in the 5th century BC, and I think you may be able to complete the last task hundreds of years in advance." Yinan's teacher said with a sigh.He was obviously very dissatisfied with the fact that Yi Nan had been trapped for hundreds of years.

"Yes!" Yi Nan obviously considered this possibility long ago, she said with bright eyes, "I think so too—"

If she had been to the Emperor of China in the 5th century BC, she could have listened to Lao Tzu's explanation of "Tao can be said to be very Tao", met Kong Qiu who said "Zi does not talk about strange powers and gods", met Zhuang Zhou and talked about dreams, and learned Xunzi's argument Evil, witness the contention of a hundred schools of thought... The unique philosophical system of the East may easily resolve the problems she has never been able to solve.

"In that case, I will be under a lot of pressure." Daniel replied honestly and modestly, "My understanding of Chinese civilization is not enough, very not enough."

"Yes, yes!" The teachers expressed their understanding.

Yinan glanced at Daniel, she knew that this "research madman" had been working hard to learn Chinese history and culture by himself since he heard that she planned to bring Jiujiu to China.His learning ability and memory are amazing - all kinds of books and journals are piled up on his desk, and they are all replaced about once a week.

And his understanding of Chinese civilization is increasing day by day, the more he understands, the more he respects.

As for why he was in such a hurry to learn, it was probably because: if there really will be a "Revisiting the Chinese Civilization Project" in the future, with Yinan's personality, if her physique is still suitable, she will definitely go there regardless of her own safety.

That's what Yinan thought when the teachers were discussing the preliminary plan of "Revisiting Chinese Civilization".She turned her gaze to Daniel, thinking: This man will definitely be behind her, supporting and accompanying her, right?

Looking at Daniel's handsome face, Yinan couldn't help thinking wildly: If she and this soul could meet in the history of China, then who would she meet?

Daniel couldn't help but turn his face away in embarrassment when she saw her. He thought differently from her:

If there really was a "Revisiting the Chinese Civilization Project", he would absolutely not let her go there alone.

He wants to become a "China hand" quickly so that he can go with her in the future.

After the exchange activities, Yi Nan and Daniel came to a small restaurant full of fireworks.

This used to be Yinan's favorite "treasure" restaurant. After she took Daniel to sit down, she realized that everyone was staring at them.

The regular customers of the restaurant stared at Daniel, not only because he was tall and handsome, but also because of his special eyes.Those amber eyes, coupled with his special temperament, are really unforgettable.

As for Yinan, it was purely because she was a girl with super good looks, and she was generous.

Daniel once commented on Yinan like this: "You know what? The magnetic field of the 'space-time tunnel' doesn't change your appearance much."

What he meant was that Yi Nan's original appearance was not far from "perfect".

But it may also be because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In Daniel's eyes, no matter how Yi Nan changes, she is the most beautiful.

Yi Nan said: No matter what, she is very grateful to the project team - she actually had a tooth decay before participating in the mission, and after going through the "time-space tunnel", the tooth decay was completely healed, just like no decay - "perfect body" It's not just casual talk.

Now, in this small restaurant, the two seem to be the focus of attention.

Daniel looked at Yinan, and asked cautiously, "Can I borrow a knife and fork, or a spoon?"

Yi Nan pursed his lips, trying not to laugh out loud.The two slender bamboo chopsticks swayed gently between her nimble fingers, shook her head, then took out two bamboo chopsticks from the chopstick cage, handed them to Daniel, and said, "Didn't you say that you will try everything bravely? That's one item."

Upon hearing this, Daniel immediately took the bamboo chopsticks from Yinan's hands, held them clumsily, and said, "I'm fine!"

"Well done, young man, do as the Romans do, here we are, you should learn how to use chopsticks." An old man at the next table expressed his support to Daniel.

Before Daniel came here, he had learned a lot of Chinese by himself. Hearing this, he turned his head, nodded to the old man who had just spoken, and said in rather jerky Chinese: "Thank you, old man. If I can't learn it, please ask old man Give pointers."

Although he spoke very slowly, his words were correct and he was basically correct.

Everyone in the restaurant praised it together.

In a blink of an eye, the dishes were on the table, steaming hot.Although there are only a few home-cooked dishes, they are full of color, fragrance and look very attractive.

Daniel tried to pick up the vegetables with his chopsticks, but he couldn't do anything.

"Boy, look at me—"

The warm-hearted old man stretched out his hand to demonstrate to Daniel: "Using this as a fulcrum, this is a lever... Such a force."

When Daniel heard these terms, his eyes lit up, and he immediately understood—everything is in accordance with the laws of mechanics.

With this reminder, everything is not difficult for Daniel.

He carefully observed the bamboo chopsticks, determined the fulcrum and the arm of force, tried the way of force, and soon he mastered the technique, smoothly picked up a dish, and was about to put it into his mouth.

"This guy is really smart, he knows everything." The old man praised him sparingly.

But other diners in the store reminded: "Young man... do you really want to try?"

"Young people are very brave!"

It turned out that what Daniel had just picked up was a preserved egg.

Among the most unacceptable foods for crooked nuts, preserved eggs may rank first.

Originally, Yinan had been hiding her mouth and snickering across from him, but at this moment she said encouragingly, "Try it, it's delicious."

However, her eyes seemed to suggest: This is the second attempt!

Without even thinking about it, Daniel put it into his mouth decisively and began to chew carefully—everyone seemed to be paying attention to his expression at this time, but if he frowned, he would probably be ashamed of all the old gourmets who love preserved eggs in front of him. Shake his head.

But Daniel nodded, gave a thumbs up, and then tried to pick up the second preserved egg.

The diners in the shop all praised: "Yes, yes!"

"Young man, Huaxia Cuisine, you have already started."

"I said little girl, your boyfriend should have passed the test in terms of taste, right?" The old man at the next table laughed and teased Yi Nan.

Yinan also smiled and explained to the enthusiastic old man: "It's not a boyfriend, it's a fiance."

Daniel suddenly started to cough at this moment. He seemed to have just eaten a piece of yellow beef fried with millet. It was so hot that his throat was instantly so hot that tears filled his eyes, and he frantically went to take out a tissue.Yi Nan's handkerchief had already been handed to him.

This is the first time she has publicly acknowledged their relationship in public.And Daniel's current embarrassment is probably not only because of Xiaomi spicy.

Yi Nan looked at the person opposite, his eyes were as gentle as water.

She knew that he had been studying, learning how to get along with her, learning how to take care of her emotions; he spared no effort to understand her country, her culture, her food taste...everything about her.A well-known scholar, a person in charge of a scientific research project who is able to act independently, and studying so conscientiously - all because of her.

She knew that he had practiced eating spicy food in private, and even secretly tried preserved eggs more than once, and he might have really gotten used to this taste completely.

Life is a course, and how to get along with loved ones is also a science—the nuances of which are no less than those scientific problems that scholars have exhausted their minds to study.

Yi Nan is now quietly expressing his position: Your research... please take me with you.

Daniel: I wish I could!
