"enough!!"
The big-faced cat was cornered and threw Lin Xian away:
"Brother, are you done yet?! Ask, ask, ask! Do you have a hundred thousand whys? How come there are so many problems!"
"Hold it! Stop asking! If you have any questions, just ask my dad! Maybe you two can really get along!"
He threw Lin Xian's arm away again and smoked angrily.
Lin Xian stood there and thought.
Looking at it this way... the big-faced cat's father is indeed not dead, he is still alive, so he should be alive.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said something like asking him to go to his father to ask questions:
"Your dad...well, how is your health?"
"It's great! It's just that my brain is stupid! I stay in my room at home every day and don't come out!"
The big-faced cat looked disdainful, took a long puff of cigarette, and handed the half-remained cigarette to Zhuang:
"That's what scholars are like. The more they study, the more neurotic they become! Zhuang, tell me, what's the use of studying?"
"It's no use!"
A Zhuang took two puffs of the cigarette, shook his head, and handed the remaining cigarette to Er Zhuzi:
"Every scholar is obsessed with it. In this world... learning is not as good as learning a craft."
"That's right."
Erzhuzi bit his cigarette butt and looked at Lin Xian suspiciously:
"Educated people are the most unreliable and dishonest."
He took another puff and another puff, and then handed the last cigarette butt to the third fat man:
"It's better to start working early and marry a wife as good as a sister-in-law. What do you think, Mr. Fatty?"
The third fat man smoked the butt of his cigarette and nodded wisely:
"I think it's okay."
The big-faced cat nodded and said:
"Actually, I don't want my daughter to continue going to school. Working early and marrying a good husband is the best way out."
"Don't be shameless, brother, let your daughter continue to go to school." Lin Xian advised.
He found……
It is true that the economic base determines the superstructure. In such a poor and backward place, there is an upper limit to the height of people's thinking, and their perspectives on things are also different.
Look at the buzzing state of these four people in front of you...
He was probably either illiterate or semi-literate.
Lin Xian gave up asking for any key information from the big-faced cat. As he said, it was better to go to his father and ask for details.
Obviously, even in the changed dream, Cat Dad is still studying things in the field of mathematics.
He probably did not win the Fields Medal in this era, but in this poor and backward world, whether there is such a prize is another question.
But if Cat Dad can study something as obscure as "Introduction to the Cosmological Constant", he must be very good at it, and he doesn't need any awards to prove it.
In the "First Dream" before the change, Lin Xian never asked the big-faced cat what his father was studying.
But intuitively... 80% of it is very different from the cosmological constant currently studied.
Lin Xian wasn't sure why.
He always feels that history has a certain inevitability. For example, the fate of the big-faced cat seems to have changed. His family is happy and he lives a happy life.
But it seems that many things have not changed and are still the same as before.
This is a feeling that cannot be described.
"Can I go visit your father?" Lin Xian asked:
"I'm actually quite interested in mathematics. I want to communicate with your father and ask for advice."
"Then why not! You are my little brother now, this little thing is nothing." The big-faced cat raised his hand and looked at his watch:
"But it's definitely too late today. He lives a bit far away. I promised my son to buy him roast chicken and eat it back today."
"You still have a son?" Lin Xian was surprised.
"Yes, my youngest son is six years old. My daughter had been clamoring for a sister before, so she gave birth to one. She didn't expect it to be a boy."
Talking about children, the big-faced cat’s face is filled with happiness:
"The boy is very naughty, but sometimes he is also quite cute."
"How about this!"
The big-faced cat waved his hand and hugged Lin Xian:
"Anyway, you are a wanderer and have nowhere to go, so just stay at my house! There are many rooms at home, and you can have a meal at home at night."
"I'll take you to my dad on a motorcycle tomorrow. You won't be able to find the way by yourself. The main reason is that it's too late today. I would have taken you there earlier."
The big-faced cat was so enthusiastic that Lin Xian was really moved.
Because he had many things to ask the big-faced cat about this dream, and he wanted to quickly understand the world view. They could have a good chat at the dinner table.
But at the same time……
"Introduction to the Cosmological Constant", the big-faced cat's father went crazy due to research, and kept saying one sentence all day long...
He cared about it too.
He really wanted to understand, what is the cosmological constant? What does this have to do with the Genius Club?
But the big-faced cat is right.
In this dilapidated and backward small village, the paths were rugged and the buildings were cluttered. Lin Xian couldn't even tell the difference between east, west and north without someone to guide him... Not to mention that every house was very similar, so he would definitely not be able to find it himself.
Lin Xian thought for a while and nodded.
Anyway, the dream will still loop. No one can escape. They have to loop this day indefinitely. You can go to find the cat dad anytime.
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow."
Lin Xian planned to hook up with the big-faced cat as soon as possible after falling asleep tomorrow, and then let the big-faced cat take him to find his cat father on a motorcycle.
…
After chatting for a while, it was time for everyone to go back to their homes.
A Zhuang, Er Zhuzi and San Pang waved goodbye to the big-faced cat, who led Lin Xian home.
"Brother..."
A Zhuang came over quietly, glanced at Lin Xian, and whispered to the big-faced cat:
"What happened at night..."
The big-faced cat nodded:
"It's business as usual."
After that, the three of them left.
"Do you have any activities at night?" Lin Xian naturally noticed their little movements. The IQ levels of these four people were on the same level.
"Hahaha, no, no, it's a gang thing." The big-faced cat muttered:
"Come on, brother, let's buy some roast chicken."
…
Walking on the crowded and twisted path, Lin Xian really felt depressed.
He could see almost nothing except the sky directly above his head. There are houses, houses, houses all around. It feels like being stuffed into a maze.
Lin Xian looked at the big-faced cat humming and walking away:
"Brother Face, you don't have a job, how can you support your family?"
"Collect protection fees!" The big-faced cat looked proud.
"It's true..." Lin Xian couldn't believe it:
"Is this legal?"
"Hey! Look what you said! My big-faced cat is covering this land! Shouldn't they pay me protection money?"
"You shouldn't be charging property fees, right?"
"F-fart! Who are you looking down on!"
…
When we arrived at Big Face Cat's house, it was getting dark.
Big Face Cat's house is a three-story building, just like the messy self-built houses around it.
The elder sister-in-law is very enthusiastic and beautiful, which makes Lin Xian wonder where Er Zhuzi got the courage to seduce her.
But those were all the second pillars of the last dream... maybe they have changed their ways now.
At least judging from the current situation, the big-faced cat has a happy life and is on the right track.
Lin Xian didn't believe anything about collecting protection fees.
Just looking at his "duty to catch thieves" and "being a chivalrous person" and the attitude of his neighbors towards him... Lin Xian felt that 80% of what the big-faced cat received was property fees.
Or perhaps, it reminds me of the fishy whispers when I just separated from A Zhuang, Er Zhuzhu and the others...
[The big-faced cat must be hiding something from himself. 】
"The food is coming~"
Sister-in-law is gentle and elegant, smiling and serving hot dumplings and meals. The big-faced cat’s daughter and son also took their seats one after another, and the family started eating while talking and laughing.
The daughter of the big-faced cat is also very beautiful. Fortunately, she has not inherited a single bit of the big-faced cat.
He looks like a teenager, and his words are a bit rebellious.
The son of the big-faced cat is very unfortunate. He is just like a smaller version of the big-faced cat.
Seeing this heartwarming scene, Lin Xian was also very happy. But in the blink of an eye... he thought of Xu Yun's body lying on the street, and Xu Yiyi's skinny body in the hospital bed.
Some are happy and some are sad.
His actions to change history and rewrite the future changed the life of the big-faced cat, but also changed the lives of Xu Yun and Xu Yiyi.
One family becomes happy, and one family becomes separated from each other.
How Lin Xian hopes that the hibernation cabin can be successfully developed... How he hopes that Xu Yiyi can be cured of her vegetative state one day in the future, like the daughter of the big-faced cat in front of her, bickering with her father, but free and at ease.
Unfortunately.
Looking at the current level of technological development in this dreamland, 80% of the time, hibernating cabins have still not been successfully developed in these 600 years.
"I don't want to work! I want to go to school!"
The big-faced cat’s daughter is still quarreling with the big-faced cat:
"What will I do if I don't go to school! I don't want to live a life like yours here!"
"you!"
The big-faced cat's face turned red from suppressing it, but he was too stupid to talk to his daughter.
"Forget it, Brother Face."
Lin Xian smiled, raised his glass and clinked it with the big-faced cat:
"Although I, an outsider, should not be involved in your discipline of your children... but it is still right to go to school. Knowledge changes your destiny."
"Children who want to go to school and have dreams must be supported. Niuniu loves learning so much. When she grows up, does she also want to become a mathematician and teacher like her grandfather?"
"snort!"
The big-faced cat girl pouted:
"I don't want to be a teacher."
"Then what do you want to do when you grow up?"
"I only have one dream when I grow up!" The big-faced cat girl pouted:
"I want to leave here! I want to live in [New Donghai City]!"
The wine glass Lin Xian held up stopped in mid-air...
New Donghai City?
He looked at the big-faced cat:
"The third new Donghai City?"
"There is no third place! It's [Xindonghai City]!" The big-faced cat swallowed the chicken in his mouth and rolled his eyes at Lin Xian:
"Why does your brain look like a second-hand one? Where did you get it?"
"Wait a moment."
Lin Xian put down his wine glass and looked at the big-faced cat:
"What does New Donghai City mean? Isn't this Donghai?"
"This is the old East China Sea."
"Then where is Xindonghai?"
The big-faced cat looked at Lin Xian like a fool:
"No, brother, are you drunk or are you teasing me? Don't you even know about Xindonghai?"
"I really don't know!" Lin Xian frowned: "Where are you?"
The big-faced cat smacked its lips in disgust.
He stood up, picked up Lin Xian and walked up the stairs:
"You guy, you are telling lies with your eyes open!"
He was very strong and dragged Lin Xian upstairs and directly to the roof of the third floor.
This was the first time since Lin Xian entered this dreamland that he felt that his field of vision was wide, and his vision was finally no longer blocked by this intricate self-built building.
"Here! Turn around!"
The big-faced cat forced Lin Xian to turn around.
A piece of neon light reflected in Lin Xian's pupils——
Just a few kilometers away from them, a giant science fiction city surrounded by high steel walls stood in the sky!
The tall building sinks into the sky and the top cannot be seen!
Vehicles of all sizes are flying through the air!
The colorful neon lights paint a picture with distinct colors in the night!
Huge screens display advertisements on the walls of high-rise buildings, countless robots are busy in every corner of the city, and a hundred-meter-high steel wall surrounds the entire city tightly, like a giant alien object!
Lin Xian looked at this scene that was comparable to a science fiction movie and froze on the spot without moving.
Underfoot... is a dilapidated and backward small village, small and old.
In front of me... is a majestic, highly developed science fiction city, with high steel walls stretching for dozens of kilometers like a chasm!
There is a difference between ants and mountains.
Although this is a dream, it is also reality, the real world 600 years later.
"See it!"
The big-faced cat chuckled and pointed at the brilliant and colorful future city a few kilometers away:
"Then! It's - [New Donghai City]!"
