Chapter 10 Chapter Eight They went to visit the gray stork

Miss Alice got up early in the morning, remembering the gray stork she had met at the welcome meeting of Dr. Starling last night, so she told Mr. Nuoxi if he would like to visit this sad bird with her. She also convinced Mr. Nuoxi of the reason why she should go, and she said, "Sir, I thought only your kind face could change their family." Mr. Nuoxi, who was very happy to go at first, said very modestly after Miss Alice said that he was just an ordinary rabbit, and he couldn't make the worried bird happy.However, it goes without saying that he agreed to go. When Miss Alice heard that Mr. Nuoxi was happy to go, she told him what she had seen last night.This made Mr. Nuoxi deeply regret that he should not go to Dr. Pulu's house for that simple meal.The reason why he didn't go to the welcome party is that he agreed to Dr. Propule's invitation. In fact, if he didn't think that he could have a Chinese meal at Dr. Propule's house (we know that Dr. Provence's house is the best) good Chinese food), then he does not have to keep the promise.Unexpectedly, we ate western food over there (because there were too many Chinese guests) and this side was so lively, it can be said that both sides failed.

"I can't think of that," said Mr. Nuoxi, who was trimming his nails with a pair of small steel scissors, and was wearing a new white velvet shirt.He also heard Miss Alice say that there might be a bird he was familiar with there, but he said that was not certain. "It seems that some birds know all our names. I thought at that time: If Mr. Nuoxi is around, then that Dr. Starling will come down to say hello to us. As for me alone, they don't have time to pay attention." Mr. Nuoxi didn't quite believe this statement because he had never seen what happened last night.He asked about everything in the venue.Miss Alice had such a good memory that she fell asleep again after a night, and she could recite the whole story to Mr. Nuoxi from beginning to end.He also talked about how they made trouble and scolded each other in the meeting place, and how he got acquainted with the gray stork.All said and done.When she encountered retelling the dialogue, she also used rhyming words.Mr. Nuoxi is a rabbit who admires the classicism of the Middle Ages, and he feels that it is a pity to miss this grand meeting in rhyme.He said he was really sorry.Miss Alice comforted him with her air when she saw him, saying that there should be more meetings like this in the future, and she would not let it go next time.This reassured him.Miss Alice saw the funny look of the rabbit, and thought it was strange, she usually didn't see that she was happy.

A rabbit is forty-five years old, and his education is a very good gentleman's education. Considering the environment, the development of this hobby is really not a strange hobby! She showed Mr. Nuoxi the address given to her by the gray stork, because she could only understand Chinese numbers, and dared not guess anything else. Mr. Nuoxi read the note: Address: Inside the North Gate, Yuhuang Pavilion, Daqingsong, No. 9, fifth nest. Stuart Stork "Isn't this north gate the one we went out to play yesterday or two?" "No." Mr. Nuoxi is much more familiar with the roads in this place. He said that it is the west gate, but to go to the north gate, you should go out of the street and go east and then north.

"when to go?" Seeing Miss Alice asking about this, Mr. Nuoxi remembered something he got yesterday, and hurriedly took out the big Zhongshan watch from his trouser pocket to check the time. "Why. I saw this. When did you buy it?" It turns out that this watch was not owned by Mr. Nuoxi yesterday.He did not remember its origin until Miss Alice asked about it.He said, "Look, Dr. Prowler gave it to me. It is said to be an antique!" Miss Alice saw that it was the cheapest watch in Europe at the moment, and did not understand, she asked, "Is this an antique? I thought—" "I mean a watch chain. Look, this chain is very well engraved." According to Dr. Pulu, it was a tribute from the Qianlong Dynasty!"

When Miss Alice heard this, she picked up the piece of chain and looked at it carefully, but she couldn't tell whether it was true or not.But the silver medal on the chain was clearly engraved with Chinese characters, indicating that it was a tribute item in the Qianlong era, so I thought it was probably correct.After the second explanation by Mr. Nuoxi, I realized that although this watch is cheap, according to Dr. Pulu, this watch was used by the Chinese as an indication of time when a certain grand ceremony opened. The watch has been worn by a Chinese celebrity, so it is also very precious.Mr. Nuoxi did not lack the European gentleman's habit of loving antiques. Although he didn't think it was a big deal, but when he came to a place full of antiques, he naturally had this interest in taking some antiques back. This watch and bracelet can be said to be The first harvest.No, this should be said to be the second piece, and the four Qianlong magnetic tea bowls with blue and white dragons!This thing was obtained from Dr. Pulu, a "China expert", so it goes without saying, let alone suspecting that it is a fake antique.

Looking at the time on the watch, it was ten past nine, which was very accurate, because as usual, they would have snacks after nine o'clock, and the snacks had already been brought. The dim sum they ate was a bowl of bird's nest soup for each person, and two pancakes fried in chicken oil. The first-class taste of China was delicious.This is specially made to serve the high-class foreign gentlemen who appreciate Chinese flavors, so every time the hotel can earn three yuan from this dim sum, this way of making money is of course a very good way! While discussing yesterday's situation at the venue, we ate snacks. By about ten o'clock, the lady and the gentleman rabbit had already arrived at the north gate.Because it is a Chinese place, it is not comparable to foreign concessions. Just like what was said in the book of the starving man I saw last time: "Where there are many poor people, the roads are unwilling to spend money to repair them." So the two of them stopped taking cars and walked. .Although it is said that it has been found in the north gate, it is not known where the Jade Emperor Pavilion is.There are so many temples in this place, it seems that there are half as many temples as there are others.The temple is also the same as other houses. From the outside, it can be seen that it is poor or rich, but this Yuhuang Pavilion does not know what kind of house it is.

Mr. Nuoxi remembered that the "Travel Guide" said that the Jade Emperor of China is the most powerful one among the gods.I thought that since the power was great, the house I lived in would certainly not be small, so I chose the bustling and most magnificent temple and walked there. "Hey, excuse me," he pulled a cat that was walking forward with a joss stick in its hand and bowed its head. "What's the matter?" The cat gave him a vicious look, and wobbled away. It's no fun for this rabbit to find one.But he is not discouraged.He knew that Chinese cats have the same temper as foreign cats, they like to lose their temper a little, so he let him go.

Soon, another cat in a flowered dress walked past them, and he pulled the cat again: "Hey, my friend, please excuse me, is that big temple on the mountain in front of you the Jade Emperor Pavilion?" The cat was educated (you can tell from the tidy clothes), but when he saw that the person who asked him was a foreign gentleman, he had to stop and said, "This is the residence of Zhao Xuantan, the God of Wealth." As for the Yuhuang Pavilion, this The kind cat said that he had never been there to play, and would be very willing to tell if he knew. "Thank you,..." Mr. Nuoxi nodded his head and let the cat go away. Seeing the bridge ahead, he wanted to cross the bridge to have a look.

The Nanjing duck and the ugly duckling were swimming in the river, and the two aunts and nephews were together, probably the old aunt was teaching the niece who wanted to fall in love. Miss Alice was in a hurry to find her way, and when she saw these two, she cried out for joy—jump.She pointed it out to Mr. Nuoxi, and told him that one was an aunt whose tears were turning into drops of oil, and that one was a niece who was looking for love everywhere.Mr. Nuoxi thought he could ask them, since they lived here longer and would know all the streets and alleys of the place well, so he asked Miss Alice to say hello to them.

"Oh, hello old lady!" The Nanjing mother duck heard a child on the bank call her an old lady, so she nodded casually for the title and said, "Thank you, I'm not good all the time!" But the little duck had a good memory, she recognized this girl who was with the gray stork last night, and she also said that she would like to be this girl's girl, so she nodded her head in salute.Then she whispered something to her fat aunt again.The aunt was so happy to hear that she was a good person to her niece. Nanjing Duck: Miss, Miss, No wonder I was rude just now. I heard my niece say how kind you are to her,

What a coincidence to come across here. Alice: The eyes of the elderly often blur, It can't be blamed for this. I see my sister refreshed, I feel very at ease in my heart. Flat-billed duck: Miss, see you here again, I am truly indescribably happy. Seeing that her niece's humble words were useless and her rhymes were a little unnatural, the Nanjing mother duck pulled her tail and told her quietly: "I was telling my aunt how nice your lady is, and I My aunt is very happy to see you." So the flat-billed duck repeated what his aunt had told him, of course he was polite and affectionate, and he also added the aunt. Seeing that Mr. Nuoxi was silent, Miss Alice looked up at a cloud in the sky, and remembering that he was completely stranger to them, she introduced him to the two aunts and nephews. Alice: This is my companion Mr Elder, Personality is good enough to be cute and admirable; This sister is a kind and kind old lady, This lady is my new sister. After hearing this introduction, the flat-billed duck hurriedly bowed to Mr. Nuoxi shyly and gratefully, and Nanny also nodded to Mr. Nuoxi with a smile.Mr. Nuoxi was still admiring Miss Alice's proper wording in his heart. Seeing the two saluting, he hurriedly pulled off the cap on his head and nodded with a smile.It occurred to him that he ought to say a few words, too, and he said,--There was a rabbit in a small town in Scotland whose nickname was John Nosh. I accidentally saw two mistresses today, It's true—it's true— Miss Alice knew that Mr. Nuoxi couldn't find the right words for a while, so she hurriedly interrupted and asked the duck: We are visiting the gray stork today, but we can't find it anywhere. Can you walk with us? Or tell us the way? Flat-billed duck: Then my aunt might know, Ask her to get directions. Nanjing Duck: Yuhuang Pavilion is still seven miles and eight miles away. That place is secluded to hell with the day: Because it is the Jade Emperor who has no power now, Although the official is big, he has no money. Mr. Nuoxi: So what is this place? Isn't it—"Jade Emperor Empress"? He couldn't think of a word for the foothold again.Because the words "Jade Emperor Empress" are ridiculous.He asked Miss Alice gently in prose. Alice: Mom, what kind of place is this we want to know, But there are so many people and so much fun! Nanjing Duck: All the offerings in this place are the God of Wealth Grandpa, So it's going back and forth all day long! When Miss Alice saw the ducklings, she really wanted to accompany them to the gray stork's house, but she dared not tell her aunt, so she begged on her behalf. Alice: We would like to ask my sister to be with us for a while, Ask Sister if she would like to? Nanjing Duck: Just ask her if she is happy, I want to go back sleepy. Duckling said to her aunt: On the left and right, I embroidered the flowers just a little bit less, I think I can play with Miss. The aunt really didn't want her niece to go with them, but she was too embarrassed to say no, and she also wanted to play when she saw the flat-billed duck, so she made a pun and said: It's okay to go to play No, I'm really a very casual me. It's not too far to go there, But it's just that the eldest girl's family is not easy to turn around. Alice: She goes with me and we send her here, There is no need for the elderly to worry about caring. Mr. Nuoxi: We left early and came back early, I'm still thinking about going home for dinner. Then of course this aunt had no choice but to let them go, but she quietly told the flat-billed duck: there are too many cats and wild dogs on the road, you have to be careful not to be dragged by them! This line is three top roads, of course it is much more interesting.Flat-billed Duck sees that Mr. Nuoxi is an upright gentleman. Although he is too decent to make those who walk with him feel at ease, she thinks that foreign gentlemen are not as evil as Chinese gentlemen. Wild foxes and the like.Seeing Miss Alice so close to him again, she felt at ease and talked casually with Mr. Nosh.On the way, she told Miss Alice and Mr. Nuoxi about the places she was familiar with.Mr. Nuoxi remembered the duck story that Miss Alice told him in the morning, and he felt that the girl was not bad.He wondered why the other birds thought her bad, but he didn't understand why.Mr. Nuoxi didn't understand much about China's affairs, so of course he was puzzled for a while.Research for a while, forget it if there is no result. Duck talked a lot with Miss Alice, all in rhyme.Miss Alice also answered in the most beautiful language, which pleased Mr. Nuoxi very much. Mr. Nuoxi thinks this kind of conversation is much more interesting than ordinary conversation.Miss Alice felt the same way about the duck as Mr. Nuoxi, and it was strange that with the duck's intelligence, no bird should love her.To tell the truth, Miss Alice thought the woman was very lovely in that way.Mr. Nuoxi also thinks so.But we should understand that if a middle-aged gentleman can make a duck's soul more beautiful than his body, and a child thinks he can be a friend, then of course this woman is not suitable for young men.The reason why the flat-billed duck doesn't tease other lovers, or because it's a bit clumsy, should be blamed on the aunt, who is always worried about her niece's starvation and thinness. "Everyone likes to ride a skinny horse rather than a fat mule," this aunt knew, but she always thought it was just a fad.Unexpectedly, this trend will continue day by day.When Duck talked to Miss Alice about this custom, she said how many times she had quarreled with her aunt about it. On the way, I met many familiar birds, but those birds only knew the duck, but they didn't know that Miss Alice could remember them.Miss Alice pointed out all the birds she had seen to Mr. Nuoxi, and if Mr. Nuoxi had not been too timid to speak in rhyme, he would have liked to talk to all kinds of birds. At one point, passing by a small pond, Miss Alice distinctly heard a toad laughing at a duck: Look, a Chinese duck is walking side by side with a foreign lady. How can it be ugly not to know that? ? The flat-billed duck also heard this, but was too lazy to argue with this kid. Mr. Nuoxi, who was walking a little behind, also heard this, so he rushed over and grabbed it. The little toad was so frightened that he somersaulted and fell into the water, and he didn't even dare to breathe for a long time. Alice asked the duck: This is something that jumps, I also know how to laugh at others! At first, the flat-billed duck thought that these two people would not be able to hear the mocking voice on the roadside, but now when Miss Alice asked her, she shyly said: This kid is Quail's nephew, and the source of the words is from other sources. . Mr. Nuoxi: I wanted to catch it and slap it a few times to ask if it still smiled, but who knew that this kid would know how to jump into the water! Flat-billed duck: It's all because it can dance and people will praise it, It also thought it was really a musician. Alice: Look, isn't the "skylark" from last night in front? Mr. Nuoxi, look how happy he is! Mr. Nuoxi: Let me go forward and ask the way, I am not afraid to hang out with him when I am old. He really went to that lark.He said: I heard that your Excellency is a Chinese poet, Let me ask your Excellency a word, okay? Bai Ling was very willing to be praised by others for his talent in poetry, but he refused to accept that a person said "there are only two geniuses in poetry in China", but if he was excluded, when he saw that the visitor was a decent Western gentleman, he replied: Thank you You Mr. Foreigner, you are really my bosom friend! What is your question, I would like to please you with my answer. Mr. Nuoxi knew that this bird could use ancient rhymes, so he said: We're just playing around, So I am willing to talk casually with the poet. Braun: Thy foreign honorable myster, I know another rabbit as white as you: He travels with a girl, The girl had probably become a little grandmother by this time. Mr. Nuoxi privately said: I don't see, but my name is known to him, Even if you say you know me, let me pretend to be crazy. Hello, what is your friend's name, I would like to know whether it is possible or not. Braun: It is in vain to tell you that, Last time he wrote me that he was in Ireland! He is a friend of many children in our country, But he and I seem to be unique. Mr. Nuoxi: Oh, Your Excellency has such a friend, I am worthy of congratulations for your friend: I just don't know if you know the other girl? I have a companion here or yes. At this point, Miss Alice was coming over to ask Mr. Nuoxi not to waste time. After being seen by Bailing, he was so happy that he couldn't speak. After shaking hands, Mr. Nuoxi stepped back humbly. Bailing first saluted Mr. Nuoxi, and then bowed to Miss Alice: I said which one of you is like that Mr.! Why didn't you say it earlier but made me happy? Girl, I saw your beautiful and innocent face, From this, I can tell the sourness and saltiness in the voice. This lark unconsciously stole the poems of "sound" and "color" Dr. Starling, but this joy is really boundless joy.But I heard Mr. Nuoxi ask Miss Alice: I heard someone say that I am Ireland, which is what this unknown poet said. Bailing hurriedly argued that this mistake was exaggerated.He said: stop laughing at me!Know that it's my fault that I'm blind, But I should congratulate myself for my happiness today. Didn't we miss you that day? If it is said that this is a false day's swearing, it will be fine! He saw Duck again at a glance. In his eyes, Duck usually only had a ridiculously exaggerated body and a pair of ridiculously exaggerated flat beaks, but it was obvious that she was with Miss Alice. Say hello to the flat-billed duck.After talking with Mr. Nuoxi, I then asked Nanjing Duck: Hey, who knew that our good eldest sister would be with you first. This thing really makes me envious to death! Good elder sister, how long does it take for my aunt to recover, The elderly will enjoy less troubles. Seeing Bai Ling's fake face, the flat-billed duck just kept silent.However, she always loved Lark very much, but never paid attention to Lark. Seeing this kind of intimate situation at this time, the older sister and elder sister were short and sweet, so they still kindly agreed to say TOEFL. Mr. Nuoxi never knew how to hate. Although he knew Bailing was talking nonsense, he always thought that he was smart but still cute, so he wanted to have a long talk with him. Miss Alice did not like this.She remembered the situation last night, she dragged Mr. Nuoxi away, saying that the gray stork would be anxious to wait at home if she delayed too long at this place. Braun: If it's going to my old friend's house, I can be a guide, I just don't know if this little obligation should be fulfilled or not. Our old friend has lately mourned the death with great sorrow, This is really a kind and righteous person. I said: My friend, we are all passionate about this, What we need is enough sorrow. The poet said, "If there are flowers that can be folded, they must be folded," Why bother to grieve too much for the dead! ? To see friends so gray and haggard, I just hate that I have only one younger sister: If I were really a woman, It's okay to fill in the house for this friend. It is harder to get a lover than a priceless treasure, This is what a grandmother poet said. Our eye cavity is a lake of tears, But these tears should not be cried for anyone. Don't you think so, sir? We cry more than once in our life! Like me, everything in the world hurts, So I'm a poet and nothing else works. Bailing didn't wait for Mr. Nuoxi's permission, so he took a step ahead of them all.On the one hand, I went back to discuss all the issues with Mr. Nuoxi, and said everything.This kid, the knowledge in his stomach is like compressed oatmeal, there are so many of them when you grab them, and if you grab a little bit, it will swell immediately.Mr. Nuoxi thinks that the argument that this small body is several times larger than the body's capacity is an interesting thing, so it doesn't sound very annoying.Moreover, all the quotes from this boy are some very thorough life remarks. Of course, Mr. Nuoxi thinks that those who retell the thoughts of these ancient philosophers and poets can be friends.Lark's words were extremely flattering, he knew to respect foreign elders everywhere, and he never forgot that he was a poet. When he saw Miss Alice, he was not very happy with him, thinking that it must be the duck who said something bad about him, so he went to two In front of foreign guests, he tried his best to praise the flat-billed duck for being a good person and thinking. In short, this thing worked hard to build this friendship on a conversation, but it succeeded. Braun: Good sister, let me hang your wrist, Let's have a little private conversation side by side. I want to ask you about your long-term lover? For this brother, I pray to God every day! I don't think you should worry too much about this, You are just as old as eighteen-year-old Ajiao. How many portals like yours are there? Where will never be able to meet the bosom friend? I say a word, don't be angry, If I'm looking for a lover, it's up to you not to marry me. A beautiful person often neglects his own beauty, Destroy your body for some leisurely worries! The flat-billed duck has grown to such a large size, and it has never heard such gentle words.What she encountered was not a mockery, but a kind of complete ignorance of her that was close to mocking.Now when I hear these delicate words, every word is tightly attached to my heart, and I hear Bai Ling comforting her not to worry, and I hear that she is beautiful, and I can't bear it no matter what, so I whimpered and cried up. Mr. Nuoxi did not understand what they were talking about.He thought it might be Bai Ling who provoked her again, so he asked Bai Ling: Why did he cry again so gracefully? You seem to be responsible for it too! Bailing hurriedly bowed to Mr. Nuoxi.A polite apology: This should also be said to be my fault, I shouldn't have caused our elder sister's sadness. Flat-billed duck: It's not him, it's my own troubles, My tears, just flow a little bit. Bailing said to the flat-billed duck again: I knew it was embarrassing my sister like this, I will never say this to my sister! The flat-billed duck unknowingly called Bailing his younger brother: Good brother, I only blame myself for my suffering, Up to now, there is still no one in my heart. Bai Ling made a very sympathetic and extremely moved look, and said with a trembling voice in a playman's tone: In fact, suffering is all the same. I thought this world was hell in disguise! Alice: I'm so upset when you cry like this, I feel sad when I see other people's tears. Flat-billed duck: You don't know many things, young lady, You still laugh when you say some things now. If you understand what life is like, At that time, you will understand that a sentence is also very valuable: I have the power to be called stupid, But I can't stand a little tenderness from others. I deliberately exchanged a hundred years of life for a love, Because I am ugly, they say I have a bad heart. I said, "You love you as much as I can, and I'll work for you," and the answer was, "There is no tenderness left around us." I said, "Why can other people fall in love," The answer is "just because other people don't look bad." Bai Ling slandered lightly, jokingly: In terms of appearance, is my sister weaker than that group? This matter is unfair and should be misunderstood! Flat-billed duck: I don't blame the sky or others, I just feel sad, I curse why I have this body. All he knows is to have an ugly way of showing off, Forgot to make an ugly man to match me! Miss Alice saw that the rabbit's heart was moved by the duck's words, and tears dripped one by one on the front of the hunting jacket. They were white, like some beads, and it would make her stomach ache from laughing at ordinary times.But this season is embarrassing.In terms of the number of tears, it thought that no one would compare with her, because she once shed a whole house of tears.But there was not a drop of tears from this heartache, and I tried to search for them, but there were none!She couldn't say a word when she saw Bai Ling, her eyes were reddened miserably, and she knew that she must be from another country, so the four of them were together and only her eyes were dry. There was a bored cricket, a bored rascal standing at its door looking up at the sky. When he saw this, he made up a song and sang: The rabbit learns how to pee like a cat, and the duck learns to sing Shanxi tunes: poor lark is also sad, Little girl, why don't you laugh like a heron? Mr. Nuoxi heard it well, but acted as if he had never heard it. He walked to the cricket hole and slammed his foot aside.This kid who talked a lot, his ears were deafened all at once. Is the gray stork visiting?No.On the way, I was playing, laughing and crying, the time was delayed for too long, when I got there, I was about to see the house of the gray stork, but Mr. Nuoxi saw that it was getting late, and I was afraid that if he stayed there for a while, his lunch would be delayed , he never wants to go to other people's house for dinner, and the Nanjing duck is waiting for the flat-billed duck, the flat-billed duck also thinks that the aunt has been waiting for a long time and will chatter for a long time, and Miss Alice thinks that as long as she sees this place today , recognized the direction, then we can have a fun day together tomorrow, so I asked Bailing to tell them that they would come tomorrow, and then went home. Bailing is very willing to do his best for this errand, so he said yes Well done then.After Bai Linggu went to the gray stork's house, the flat-billed duck saw his back: This kid is cute and hated, just because he was born with this weird mouth. Mr. Nuoxi: The Chinese skylark is exquisite and penetrating, It is thanks to his little mind that he can quote ancient evidence. At this point, Miss Alice also thinks that Braun is not bad.
