Chapter 10 Chapter 10 How Did No Knowing, Little Thumbtack, and Little Painted Face Arrive in Sun City

After a few minutes, Don't Know, Little Thumbtack, and Little Painted Face are already sitting in their own cars, saying goodbye to Bun, and setting off to meet new adventures again.The circle soon came to an end, and houses began to appear on both sides of the road.They are all small, no more than two stories tall, but they are beautiful: tall, pointed roofs, painted in bright colors, with small gatehouses, small balconies, and strangely shaped roof towers.There is a pavilion in the yard, and a hundred flowers bloom. The further down the travelers went, the more houses they saw.The road unknowingly becomes a spacious city street.The houses on both sides are getting taller and taller.There are more and more little people on the sidewalks and more cars on the streets.Not long after, I saw a steady stream of cars on the street, which was very crowded, and I had to stop once at the intersection.Some of the cars here don't know they have seen them before, and some are the first time they have seen them.There are many cars that look like toy chariots and horses.These Trojan cars have four "legs" with pulleys under them.Passengers ride on it, put their feet in the stirrups, and hold the horse's ears with their hands.The horse's eyes are the headlights as well as the lights.In place of the mouth is a trumpet, used to frighten dazed passers-by.This kind of Trojan horse car has one person, some sits two people in front and one behind, and some "horses" are connected in parallel to sit four people.

In addition to Trojan horse cars, there are so-called spiral cars here.These carts had no wheels and were fitted with augers, like those in a meat grinder.When the screw turns, the car moves forward.The cart is awkward and tends to turn sideways when the screw turns.But the spiral car that is equipped with two spirals that rotate in different directions does not have these problems.Sitting on it not only won't turn to one side, but also is much more flexible when turning, because whichever direction you want to turn, you only need to brake the spiral on one side.And a spiral car does not have a side brake, so you have to step on the ground with your feet when turning, and as a result, the leather shoes are worn out quickly.

You can also see the fast jet roller car here.This cart is a cylinder with four rollers.The canister is filled with jet fuel.The fuel is burned inside, and the burned gas is ejected through the tail of the cylinder. With this force, the cylinder rolls on four wheels and slides forward.Use the rear steering wheel for turning: the gas from the tail rushes to the top of the steering wheel, and the cylinder car can turn in any direction.It is not very comfortable to ride this kind of cylinder car in summer, because people have to ride on the cylinder, and the cylinder will get hot during fast movement, but it is better to ride it in winter, because the pulleys below can be replaced with sleds to slide wood, and the cylinder The drum car will make you dizzy so fast, and you can even fly over narrow valleys; besides, sitting on it is like sitting on a warm stove, which is especially comfortable in cold weather.

In addition to the above, there are tracked bicycles, motorcycles, and other means of transportation—both with wheels and tracks.I don't know this machine fan, and my eyes are dazzled.He almost ran into an oncoming car because of it, so he said: "Let's go on foot, or we won't be able to see clearly..." He pulled the car over to the sidewalk and stopped.The friends got out of the car and strolled slowly on the street, looking from side to side.There are so many things to see around.On both sides of the title are amazingly beautiful multi-storey buildings.Strange patterns were painted on the walls of the house, and there were some pictures painted in various bright colors near the roof.There are many stone carved animals on many houses.There are also similar stone carvings in front of the house below.Groups of men, women and little people were walking on the sidewalk, talking and laughing.There was music coming from somewhere.

A few steps further on, our travelers saw a house of a different style from the usual ones.The floors of this house are stepped. People who live on the second floor can walk on the roof of the first floor, and those who live on the third floor can walk on the roof of the second floor. The same goes for layers.There is no elevator in this house, but a kind of elevator, that is, an automatic staircase, which can be used to ascend to the highest floor.If you want to go downstairs, there is a groove-shaped slide at the other end of the house, and you can go down the slide while sitting on the rug.There are plenty of such small rugs near the elevator below.Everyone who takes the escalator upstairs must take a small rug with him, ready to use when going downstairs.

Our travelers spent a long time watching how the returning boarders went up by the lift, and how the boarders going out sat down on the rug. "Little Hualian, what do you think is better, go up by the elevator, or come down by the rug?" Quan Mo asked. "You have to try both, and you will know for sure after you try it." Hualian replied. "You have a good idea!" Quan Zhi was very happy. "Let's try." "Isn't it scary?" asked the little thumbtack. "It's nothing to be afraid of! Aren't everyone else taking advantage of it? Well, take a rug?" Each took a rug.Unaware that he was the first to jump up the stairs, Xiao Hualian and Xiao Pushpin hurriedly followed.A minute later they were on the top, jumping down the ladder smoothly and walking along the smooth roof of the penultimate floor to the slide.

"Hey, get out of the way, I'll be the first to slide down." Quan Zhi said to Xiao Hualian, walking to the side of the slide. "Why are you the first?" Xiao Hualian was surprised. "Who came up with the idea of ​​skating? I did it, so I should skate first." Xiao Hualian pushed it away without knowing it, quickly put the small rug into the slot, and was about to sit on it, but unexpectedly the small rug slid down and slipped away, Xiao Hualian tried to grab it, but couldn't stand firmly, with his head down and his feet upside down, falling headlong I fell into the trough, and followed the rug, sliding down on my belly, frozen with terror.A second later he was down there and fell in the middle of the pavement, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Good!" He muttered as he got up. "Did a space flight!" "How is it? Are you skating well?" Quan Zhi shouted from above. "Excellent!" Xiao Hualian replied, while spitting the dust in his mouth. "Now try it!" Quan didn't know how to put his rug on the bottom of the trough, sat on it carefully and slipped away.Skateboards are not perfectly flat.The slope increases for a while, and then decreases for a while.For the convenience of people on each floor, the slope should be reduced in this way.As the slope increases, Omniscience rushes down with terrifying speed.Frightened, he grasped the sides of the trough with both hands, and as a result the rug slipped from under him, and ran down by itself, while Omniscient rubbed his trousers and slid down after it.

The little thumbtack slides smoother than anyone else.She sat neatly in the middle of the rug, and she didn't use her hands to grab the sides of the groove when she slid down, so she couldn't skate better. The travelers decided to come here to skate a few more times in the future, and then moved forward. It should be said that the streets in Sun City are much wider than other small cities, especially the sidewalks.Each building has a canteen.Tables are placed not only in the cafeteria, but also on the sidewalk.There were little people sitting at tables everywhere.Some are eating, drinking tea, coffee or sweet soda; some are reading newspapers or picture albums; some are playing cards, dominoes and so on.There are so many people playing chess, as long as you can barely put down the chessboard, you can see someone playing chess.In the middle of the street there are people playing hide and seek, man chase, hopscotch, cat and mouse, and other outdoor games.

Each cafeteria has a game equipment department with a variety of table game equipment.In addition, many houses also have a kind of lending station, lending bicycles, scooters, tennis rackets, footballs and volleyballs, skittle sticks, ping pong balls, batting sticks...etc.People playing this kind of game can be seen everywhere: in parks in the middle of the street, on special venues, and in yards.To be more correct, there are no courtyards in Sun City, and more correctly, there are, but there is nothing separating them—no walls, no fences, and the gates are never locked, because there are no door.If fences can still be seen in some places, they are also for protecting plants, not blocking people.

There are no obstacles, so it is very convenient to build tennis courts, running tracks, swimming pools, football fields, volleyball courts, basketball courts, cricket fields, venues for batting or other games in the yard.Little people can walk from their own yards to other people's yards at will, and play various games with their neighbors, which is of great benefit to strengthening their physique and exercising muscles. A favorite thing about our travelers is that there is a theater or cinema in every house.There are especially many puppet theaters.Colorful signboards are hung almost along the road: "Big Puppet Theatre", "Little Puppet Theatre", "Puppet Show Theater", "Puppet Comedy Theater", "Happy Petrushka" and so on.In order to keep the audience from being too hot in summer, there are two stages with two curtains in the theater.One side of the stage faces the audience hall, the other side faces the street.In this way, you can sit in the auditorium and watch a play in winter, and watch it on the street or in the yard in summer.All it takes is to turn the set backwards and move the chairs in the auditorium out into the open air. Quan didn't know to look at everything around him with his eyes wide open, bumping into pedestrians from time to time.This made him very angry.Usually, pedestrians would say "I'm sorry!" after bumping into them, but instead of politely answering "It's okay", they would yell angrily, "Get out!" "That's not good," said little pushpin to him. "When someone apologizes to you, you should say 'it's okay'." "You have a good idea!" Don't know the answer. "If you say 'it doesn't matter' to everyone, then you wait, people will ride on your head." Then they approached a tall house with balconies connected by rope ladders.The upper and lower floors also have the same ladders extending to the balcony.These ladders, together with the ropes stretching in all directions, made the house somewhat like a ship with the ropes ready to sail.The house is inhabited by firefighters who often practice climbing ropes and ladders. Wuzhi was fascinated by this strange house. Because the house was quite high, little Wuzhi had to raise his head high, but the hat fell off his head.He stooped to pick up his hat, but then suddenly an unexpected thing happened.Just at this time, a little man named Xiao Shuye was walking on the street while reading a book.I watched "The Adventures of the Beautiful Goose".This little book page is also the kind of book lover, at home, on the road, having breakfast, having lunch, day and night, no matter sitting, lying, standing, or even walking - you can read in any situation. The little book page was fascinated by the book, and he didn't see that Wuzhi was picking up his hat. When he covered it, he tripped and fell to the ground, pressing on Quanzhi's body, and kicked little Wuzhi's head that hurt. "Look, isn't this just riding on the head?!" Quan Zhi shouted. "You are such a donkey!" "Who is the donkey? I am the donkey?" Little Shuye asked as he got up from the ground. "Who else? Could it be me?" Quan Zhi kept shouting. "I can't agree with your statement." Little Book Page said politely. "A donkey is a beast with four legs and long ears..." "You are a four-legged beast!" "No, probably you are the four-legged beast!" "I'm a four-legged beast?" Quan Zhi was furious. "Let me prove it to you, who among us has four legs!" "Okay! Prove it, prove it!" "I'll prove it to you!" "You lied! You prove nothing!" "Hmph, I lied?!" Quan Wuzhi was still yelling, so angry that he couldn't speak, he immediately waved his magic stick and said, "I want this, this little guy becomes a donkey!" "What you want..." Xiao Shuye only spoke at the beginning. Little Book Page originally wanted to say: "There are many things you want." But in the middle of speaking, he turned into a donkey and walked away wagging his tail.There was a loud clatter of hooves on the pavement.The book he had dropped was still lying in the middle of the sidewalk.At this time, there were no pedestrians nearby, and no one saw this strange thing.Little Thumbtack and Little Painted Face just walked forward, but they didn't notice this matter.When Quan Mo caught up with them, they were standing in front of a tall house with a hotel sign on the gate. "Let's just stay here," said little pushpin. "Travelers always stay in hotels." So our three friends walked towards the entrance of the hotel.
