Demolition Earth

Chapter 87 Roommate (3)
By the next day, Avery began to sense that something was wrong with the Chinese woman.

The average person will adapt gradually the next day after spending one night in prison.The two stared at each other, even out of boredom, they would inevitably say a few words to each other.

But this woman hardly spoke, since she came in last night, she has been doing her own thing.

She carefully arranged the clothes she carried with her, and put them meticulously in the small closet, carefully cleaned her bed, and then swept the floor in the room.After sweeping, she even took out a rag and wiped the floor carefully. Looking at her appearance while working, it was more like the situation of those Japanese women doing housework at home in many traditional Japanese movies.This made Avery wonder if she has a certain cleanliness.

When she was doing these housework, she occasionally hummed some songs in her mouth. Avery sounded like Chinese, but she couldn't understand what it was, but from the analysis of the tune, it was definitely not a modern song.Avery tried to say hello to her, but when he opened his mouth, he could only say: "I cant English. Sorry, sorry, sorry."

Another three consecutive sorrys.The accent was so strong that Avery was almost guessing before realizing what she was saying.

She was busy for most of the night, and fell asleep in the second half of the night.But the next day, when Avery woke up in a daze, he heard the woman humming softly again.

She opened her eyes secretly, and saw that the woman was looking at her face in the mirror. Her face was no longer the embarrassment of yesterday, replaced by a satisfied smile of a woman looking at herself in the mirror. Beautiful, with a delicate oval face, she looks smaller than herself, but around thirty is the best time for a woman to mature and bloom.

Looking back, since her husband left, Avery can't remember the last time he took a serious look at himself in the mirror.

Then Avery discovered one of the biggest doubts about this woman—she didn't know how to use a computer.

There are two computers in each room, both of which are fixed on the seats. After Maritina left, her computer was still there, and she didn't even shut it down.When the woman was cleaning the table in the morning, she touched the keyboard. After the computer turned on, the woman looked at the computer screen, but quickly turned her attention away.

After she finishes this little housework in the morning, she sits in a chair and looks in the mirror, staring blankly, but never uses the computer.

Sometimes, she would come over to Avery to see what Avery was doing on the computer.But Avery is a very defensive person, and every time she comes over, she will cut the screen back to the desktop.

After doing this a few times, she couldn't stop coming, and just sat in front of her computer and continued to be in a daze.

Then Avery talked about this woman on the chat software, and she asked other people if they knew her identity, because so far, most of the people who came to them were scientific researchers, but from the behavior of this woman From the looks of it, she is obviously not a scientific researcher.

A few people answered on the software. After leaving a group of people, it seems that some people have entered the base. These people are likely to be "research materials" that they will often contact in the future.

"What do you mean by research material?"

"Someone was talking about this a few days ago, didn't you pay attention?"

Avery usually pays more attention to professional matters, and doesn't pay much attention to other discussions.Because apart from professional discussions, everyone's other lives are like ordinary people.There are mostly men here, and they have no access to outside news, so the chat is nothing more than who is more beautiful among the more than 20 women here.

Avery, like other women, rarely participates in their discussions, and among them, perhaps because of women's nature, they often discuss topics such as their families, each other's relationship history, and children's education .

Now Avery, it is difficult to integrate into such a topic of discussion.So her news should be the most backward among the whole group of people.

"A man in my dormitory, French, was said to be a well-known painter before.

He borrowed money to go to Blue Sky for medical treatment. After he came out, he couldn't pay back the money, so he took the initiative to go to prison to avoid the debt.

Room A420 next door, didn't he just leave a liberal, the newcomer is a 23-year-old, British, very handsome young man.

He is a D addict, he is not a small D product boss, he used all his wealth and a sum of their boss’s trading money to treat the disease, quit D addiction, after he succeeded, he surrendered himself, and took him off the line. Dozens of people form a gang , sold them all to the police, and then went to jail to apply for protection. "

"You mean? These people... are cases for our study?"

"Almost, it can be regarded as letting us get in touch with some real social reality. If you are free, you can chat more with the person in your ward and ask her about her experience... The stories of these people are very bizarre. Everyone Take the story alone, you can make a movie."

After lunch, Avery saw his roommate looking in the mirror on his bed again.

She guessed that this woman might not know how to use a computer at all, so she first went to the group to find a Chinese who could speak English as an interpreter, opened her computer, registered an ID for her, and pulled in a group, turn on voice chat.After completing these preparations, he waved to her, signaled her to look at the screen, and then said hello, and the translator helped her say the sentence.

"Oh..." The woman seemed to realize that she was talking to herself when she heard the voice on the computer. She nodded and said a string of Chinese hesitantly.

The translator in charge seemed to be stuck, and didn't respond for a while, and asked, "Where are you from? Can you speak Mandarin?"

The woman shook her head and babbled again, but the Huaguo translator still didn't understand, but this time he recorded the words and asked a few other Huaguo people in the group to communicate.

After a while, the translator brought another Chinese man to translate, and he also chatted a lot.

The woman obviously understood and replied.

The No. 2 translator, who knew the woman's language, was not very fluent in English, and he had bumps, so he translated what the woman said into Mandarin, and asked the No. 1 translator to speak English to Avery.Every conversation has to be translated twice, which makes the conversation very strenuous, but both parties have a strong willingness to communicate, so the conversation went on like this.

"From Liyang?"

"Yeah, I haven't learned Mandarin, so I can't speak it well."

"It's from Jiangnan, from my hometown... What are you imprisoned for?"

The woman lowered her head and said nothing.Just when Avery was about to give up the question and change the subject, she said, "I've spent all my husband's money."

What kind of crime is this?Avery was puzzled and asked her, "It's not just because of this, is it?"

"That's the only thing," said the woman. "I knew at first that it's only right for a woman to spend her husband's money. But then I found out that it's still illegal in the United States. My sons sued me and sent me to prison. , and sent it here.”

"Your sons?" Avery was a little surprised, because the woman in front of her didn't seem to be 30 years old. Even if she had a son, she would probably be in her teens no matter how old she was. Sue his mother?Return the sons?
The two translators were also aware of this problem. They remembered what the woman mentioned before, that they didn't learn Mandarin well.If she is really 30 years old, whether she is at home or abroad, it is absolutely impossible to only understand local dialects but not Mandarin. If it is the other way around, it is more reasonable.

The woman seemed to be opened up, and the chatterbox continued: "My husband earned the money, and then he got sick and died. I have been a widow for more than ten years, and I also got cancer, and I was waiting at home to die. As a result, the cancer was cured. The doctor told me that if I am willing to spend money, I can continue to treat and cure some of my old problems. So I treated it for almost a year, and finally said that the money was almost cured. Yes, the doctor said that there is no need for further treatment, and I was discharged from the hospital. A few days after I was discharged from the hospital, I was accused of embezzling public funds. It was my husband’s money, so why did it become public funds... My lawyer said But their lawyers, they paid a lot of money to hire their lawyers, and I heard that they hired several more...I ended up in jail."
