Li Shi did not expect Wang Yuan to be so enthusiastic and loyal, and he would arrange for someone to pick him up when he was not in the capital.
However, he didn't want to trouble others, so he typed quickly and replied: "Thanks, but it's really not necessary. Don't bother me by jogging."
Wang Yuan: "It's okay. She has seen your video and is very curious about you. She really wants to meet you! Brother Shi, when will you arrive in the capital specifically?"
video?
Li Shi knew that he should be referring to the video of himself playing with barbells. Seeing him say this, Li Shi no longer refused and replied: "Six-thirty in the evening."
Wang Yuan: "Beijing West Station, right?"
Li Shi: "Yes."
As he was talking, someone had already applied to add him as a WeChat friend.
After passing by and chatting for a few words, I learned that the other party’s name was Wu Xiuyue.
Li Shi just thought he had met a new person, didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to study.
The ancients said: Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.
In modern society, transportation is developed and travel is convenient. Everyone travels more, but reads less.
Li Shi wanted to advance his study of "Chinese History" to (Mastery-) as soon as possible, so that he could devote himself to learning calligraphy as soon as possible and become his first master.
To this end, he deliberately combined "traveling" and "reading" to go hand in hand. In today's terms, it is a "dual drive".
When you are immersed in learning, time always flies by.
Arriving at the station at 6:30 in the evening, Li Shi got off the bus with his bag on his back and met Wang Yuan's friend Wu Xiuyue at the exit.
Wu Xiuyue's name is very delicate, but she is very tall, at least 1.756 meters tall, with a big frame and a little bit fat, so she looks like she has a "large body type" that is rare among girls.
After a brief contact, Li Shi found that this girl had a cheerful personality and spoke straightforwardly, a bit like a "big girl from the capital" in literary and artistic works.
Well, it's about character.
The big girls in the capital in literary works are often "big and beautiful". In addition to their cheerful and generous personalities, they usually also have good looks and good temperament.
Of course, whether it is a literary work or reality, the top group of "samies" often have considerable talents.
Wu Xiuyue, a girl, looks a bit ordinary and her talent is unknown, but at least she has that kind of personality.
She drove a white Toyota Overbearing. After getting in the car, she asked Li Shi: "Which hotel are you staying in?"
"There is a Waldorf Astoria Hotel next to Goldfish Alley, and I booked a room there."
"You live there, I know." Wu Xiuyue glanced at the co-pilot, a handsome and polite boy in surprise, "Not long ago, the fairy sister appeared in a TV series, "Go Where the Wind Is." She was in The hotel where you work in the drama is that one. Did you book the hotel after watching that drama?"
Li Shi was stunned for half a second, then smiled and shook his head: "No, I've heard of that show, but I haven't watched it yet."
The reason why he booked this hotel was recommended by Chen Qiuye.
"Then your financial situation is quite good. This hotel is probably one of the most expensive in the entire capital. One night's stay is estimated to cost three to four thousand."
Wu Xiuyue was good at chatting, and the two chatted all the way, ranging from how Li Shi met Wang Yuan to how she and Wang Yuan lived as neighbors in an alley when they were young.
When they were about to arrive, Li Shi invited her to dinner and thanked her for coming to pick him up.
It happened to be lunch time, so Wu Xiuyue was not polite and accepted directly.
When he arrived at the hotel, Li Shi found that the hotel was mostly black and gold, with June flowers and phalaenopsis everywhere, and the air was filled with a nice fragrance, which felt pretty good.
When checking in, Li Shi asked about it. The hotel staff said that they had a Cantonese restaurant and a French restaurant. He didn't want to go far, so he asked Wu Xiuyue next to him, and finally decided to eat Cantonese food later and asked the front desk to help him first. Booked a seat.
Li Shi went upstairs to put his luggage, and then came down and went to the hotel's Zijin Pavilion restaurant with Wu Xiuyue for a meal.
Wu Xiuyue obviously thought Li Shiren was very good, so she asked him during dinner: "Are you coming to the capital for fun or work? I don't have anything to do in the next few days. If you need a car, just ask him."
Li Shi smiled and said: "Thank you, I will definitely tell you if you need anything."
That's what I said, but I didn't want to trouble others.
After eating and Wu Xiuyue left, on his way back to his room, he directly made an appointment for the hotel's car service at the front desk.
It's a favor to bother others, so it's better to spend money directly.
The hotel room was okay, and the scenery outside the window was average. It was already dark, and he was too lazy to hang out. He took a shower, chatted with the two fairy trees at home for ten minutes, and then started reading.
"History of Pre-Qin" is the first chronological history that Li Shi studied.
He found that the learning threshold of this book was higher, not because of anything else. There were too many ancient quotations in the text, which was very taxing on the brain.
For example, in the first section of Chapter 8 "The Deeds of Xia Yin and Western Zhou Dynasty" "The Deeds of the Xia Hou Family", just cut out a paragraph——
Another "Chu Ci·Tian Wen" said: "It is necessary to uphold the virtues of Ji, and Jue's father is Zang. Hu Zhi is disadvantageous in having a guard, a herdsman, cattle and sheep?" Wang Yi's "Notes" said: "Gai, bud. Bing, hold. . Father, means deed. Ji, end. Zang, good. It is said that Tang can maintain the late virtues of his ancestors and cultivate the good deeds of his grandfather, so God bless him and think of democracy. Youhu, the name of the country. Qin destroyed Xiahou Xiang, Xiang's son Shaokang left behind, but later You still shepherded Zheng, the owner of the cattle and sheep, so he attacked, killed and poured water, and destroyed You Hu." He also said: "There is a Hu Hu standing up, why do you think we meet? The attack comes first, what is his order? How can I get my husband Pu Niu if I always adhere to Jide?"
"Yin" and "Yinzhu" are both obscure classical Chinese texts.
This is true throughout the work.
With Li Shi's (proficient-) Chinese proficiency, he had to slow down to understand when reading, and occasionally had to use dictionaries and the Internet to search for relevant allusions.
For other people who do not have this foundation in ancient literature and history, the level of effort to learn it will definitely be several times more difficult than it is for him.
However, Li Shi's Chinese level is also improving subtly with this kind of learning.
“Literature and history cannot be separated, and this is one of the reasons.”
"If I continue to study like this, it will definitely be much easier for me to study the Twenty-Four Histories in the future."
Swimming in the long river of history, the time unknowingly reached eleven o'clock.
Suddenly a new message alert sounded on QQ. You knew it without looking at it, it must be "Bai Mang Mang".
Unlocked with fingerprint, clicked on the software - and sure enough it was her.
"Nanshi, have you arrived in the capital?"
Li Shi took his mobile phone, took a photo of the night view of the capital outside the window, and sent it: "Evening has arrived. This is the hotel I am staying in."
Bai Mangmang posted another (envious) emoticon: "It's a pity that I am entangled in worldly affairs and cannot be free. If only I could be like you and go as I say, that would be great!"
Li Shicai said that the "worrying with worldly matters" she said should refer to the start of school.
He thought for a while and replied: "Isn't it popular now to 'surrogate satisfaction'? I will take a lot of photos along the way. By looking at the photos I took and my narration, you can be regarded as having a spiritual journey."
Bai Mangmang: "Yeah, okay."
After a while, she sent another sentence: "Thank you, Nushi."
Li Shi smiled. Bai Mangmang's face that looked exactly like Gao Yuanyuan flashed through his mind. He pondered for a few seconds and replied: "We are like-minded friends. You're welcome, and I can also pass this." way to deepen your learning effect.”
He was telling the truth. As for what Bai Mangmang would think, it was unknown.
Putting down his mobile phone, Li Shi took out a small bag from his backpack and opened it. It contained a pen, ink and inkstone. He also took out a stack of rice paper from the outer layer of the backpack, spread it out on the desk in front of the hotel window, and went to get a bottle of mineral water. Start grinding ink.
Calligraphy was his choice to become a master, and he couldn't go without practicing it for a day.
Still a temporary post.
After more than an hour, he finished writing all the ink he had researched, then packed up his things and read "History of Pre-Qin" again to study.
The next day, Li Shi went to the FS area fifty kilometers southwest of the capital.
"Zhoukoudian Jingcheng Ruins Museum" is usually visited for one morning at most by others, but Li Shi stayed here all day.
In the museum, he paid close attention to every detail.
While visiting, I discussed with "Bai Mangmang" on QQ.
He and "Bai Mangmang" agreed that the geographical environment here is one of the important factors in the origin of mankind.
Therefore, Li Shi found a map of this place and asked the driver to drive him to visit and inspect the surrounding geographical environment.
This place faces the North China Plain, with Taihu Mountain behind it. There is a small river in front of the mountain. It is rich in natural resources and has a mild and pleasant climate. Perhaps it is because of this geographical environment that the "Bj people" appeared between 700,000 and 300,000 years ago. "Early Homo sapiens appeared 200,000 to 100,000 years ago, Tianyuan Cave Man appeared about 42,000 to 38,500 years ago, and Shanding Cave Man appeared 30,000 years ago.
Returning to the city in the evening, he changed hotels and stayed at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Oriental Plaza on Wangfujing Street.
The reason why I chose to live here is because when Li Shi visited today, he heard the tour guide mention that during the construction of this place in the 1990s, Paleolithic ruins were discovered, and stone artifacts and animal fossil fragments were unearthed. .
According to identification, it should be a site from the Late Paleolithic Age, about 24,000 to 5,000 years ago.
Today, these cultural relics are on display at the Wangfujing Ancient Human Cultural Site Museum on the third underground floor of First Street of Oriental Plaza.
However, when he arrived in the city, it was already past the opening time, so he could only wait until the daytime tomorrow to visit again.
Li Shi looked for a place outside to have a bite to eat, and then started walking around.
Seeing the modern high-rise buildings and roads around him, he remembered that 24,000 to 5,000 years ago, our ancestors lived and hunted in this area, used fire to roast meat and stones, make stone tools, make bone products, and thrive... He suddenly felt like there was something wrong. There is a wonderful sense of time travel, as if two scenes from the past and the present appear in front of you.
Just like the heroine in the movie "Super Body", she broke the limitations of time and space in an instant.
Of course, this is just the "sequelae" of his "focus on nothing else" from studying history.
He took a video of the surroundings with his mobile phone, sent it to Bai Mangmang, and told him about his experience just now.
Bai Mangmang immediately said: "You are a learning idiot."
Li Shi was silent for two seconds and replied with a (smiley face) emoticon.
After a while, another message came from Bai Mangmang: "Oh, in this world, infatuated people are the rarest."
Li Shi suddenly realized.
Is this associated with feelings?
He knew her story and couldn't say anything else.
The next morning, he visited the Fujing Ancient Human Cultural Site Museum early and then set off directly to the high-speed rail station for Xijing.
For the next week, he traveled back and forth across the motherland.
From Beijing to Xijing, then from Xijing to SMX City in Nanhe Province, then to JN City in Dongshan Province, and then back to AY City in Nanhe Province... all in the order of historical time, traveling repeatedly.
Fortunately, the domestic high-speed rail network is now extremely developed, and he is not afraid of spending money. He always travels in the high-speed rail business class, and can easily travel around the Central Plains, Northeast and Northwest regions.
Even studying was not delayed.
Speaking of which, he quite likes reading on the high-speed train.
That afternoon, he traveled from Xijing to the capital.
On the way, I sat on a loose and comfortable seat, crossed my legs, and was still reading "History of the Pre-Qin Dynasty", but this was the second time.
Therefore, the page turning speed is much faster than the first time.
Halfway through the more than five-hour drive, Li Shi put down his book, picked up his mobile phone, and sent a message to Wang Yuan, a native of the capital: "Do you know anyone from Peking University? If so, please help me inquire and see if there is any chance." Go in and sit in on a few classes.”
Wang Yuan was fishing in the company at the moment. After seeing the message, he immediately replied: "Brother Shi, you have to ask Wu Xiuyue for this. Her sister is a student of Peking University. Now it seems that only Peking University alumni can bring relatives and friends to the campus. "
So Li Shi found Wu Xiuyue's WeChat account and asked the same question.
Wu Xiuyue was not as free as Wang Yuan recently, and it took more than ten minutes for her to reply: "If it's just a visit, that's no problem. Their alumni can help their relatives and friends reserve places for the visit on the Peking University mini-program, but I can't sit in as an observer." Got it, in this case, I’ll ask her later and tell you when we have dinner tonight.”
The three of them had made an appointment in advance to cook mutton together in the evening.
Li Shi: "Okay, that's troublesome (holding fists)"
Wu Xiuyue: "Why are you so polite!"
Li Shi just put down his phone and was about to continue reading. Less than two minutes later, his phone rang again.
When I took it out, I saw that it was Ailan who had suddenly sent a message.
"Brother Shi, are you busy?"
Li Shi replied: "I'm not busy. I'm on the high-speed rail. What's wrong?"
Ai Lan: "Oh, I've been very troubled by something recently, and I want to talk to you. (Pouts)"
Li Shi: "Let's talk about it in detail."
After a while, Ailan typed a long text: "It's about Teacher Bai. Teacher Bai has been in a much better mood recently. Xiaoya and I were very happy at first, thinking she had figured it out, but... we found out She has been chatting on QQ all day, and she is still chatting with the same strange netizen. This is too wrong. Xiaoya said that Teacher Bai may be in online love. As the saying goes, the best way to forget the hurt caused by old relationships is to start a new relationship. New relationship...no wonder she has a smile on her face again now. (Sigh)"
Li Shi:? ? ?
what are you saying!
Teacher Bai online dating? The "strange netizen" you mentioned doesn't mean me, does it?
With all my conscience, I didn't do anything, I just talked about history with her.
Please give me a small reward to break through the zero data this week.
