My wife is a dragon.
Chapter 14: The Dragon Doesn’t Laugh
Chapter 14: The Dragon Doesn’t Laugh (Please Read!)
There is a park less than a hundred meters away from where Xia Li lives, with a large artificial lake in the center.
In the summer, merchants will bring pedal boats and water walking balls here, and various water activities make this area particularly lively.
However, after the fall, these things were removed, and along with them, the surrounding stalls and vendors also disappeared.
Those mobile stalls seem to be social animals that adapt to this large society. They migrate continuously with the change of seasons.
At this time, there were only a few young people jogging in the morning on the quiet sidewalk, and not far away on the wide road, there were old men and women practicing Tai Chi.
On the lake, the golden morning sun is like a broken mirror, its reflection is easily shattered by the wind and waves, reflecting a brilliant sparkling light.
"Are they performing some strange witchcraft?"
Lucia didn't care about the scenery here at all. She had seen more beautiful scenery when she was flying over the continent of Aize.
What made her look back every few steps was the group of old men in red and white clothes waving soft swords in the open space.
"They are exercising." Xia Li replied.
"Exercise?"
Lucia couldn't help but look behind her again, "Why do they need to exercise at such an old age...are they going to the battlefield?"
battlefield……
Xia Li pondered over this word in his mind.
Although it is very common in the continent of Aize, the word "battlefield" does seem a bit outdated when used on Earth, especially for China.
"Our country is very peaceful. There is no war. The country is prosperous and the people are safe. No one needs to go to the battlefield." Xia Li explained patiently.
Lucia asked again, "If they are not on the battlefield, what are they doing?"
"Exercise."
"Just exercise?"
"Yeah." Xia Li nodded.
Lucia was thinking.
In the continent of Aize, all resources are scarce, including food. Except for the royal family and nobles, more than half of the human beings cannot get enough to eat. Hunger is the most rampant nightmare in the human world.
She had seen humans practicing swordsmanship in groups of three or five several times, but those were human soldiers who were about to go to the battlefield.
Therefore, Lucia couldn't understand why these older humans would come out to practice swordplay, and why they didn't go to the battlefield after practicing swordplay. In her opinion, this was a huge waste of resources and physical strength.
Lucia has lived in a world of war and invasion all her life. A world without war... is hard for her to imagine.
"Do you want to eat anything else?"
Seeing Lucia silent, Xia Li knew that this guy was thinking about something nonsense again.
Although she is a dragon that soars in the sky and is absolutely free, she looks like she has never seen the world after coming to Earth. It seems that any small thing can shock her dragon life.
If we take this guy to the city center and see the skyscrapers lined up one after another, wouldn't she be so surprised that her brain would crash?
"miss you!"
Lucia withdrew her thoughts in an instant and did not ask Xia Li what he wanted to take her to eat. Anyway, as long as food was mentioned, she would definitely nod.
Xia Li took Lucia to the entrance of the park and bought a piece of fried baba.
This is one of the common snacks in Shu Province. It is made of glutinous rice on the outside and meat filling on the inside. After being fried at high temperature, it is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It can make a passing dragon cry with envy.
At this time, the soy milk in Xia Li's hand was almost cold. Xia Li inserted the straw and handed the cup of soy milk in the bag to Lucia.
Then I remembered that this evil dragon probably didn't know how to use a straw, so I introduced it.
"Put this small transparent stick in your mouth and breathe in."
"Gululu..."
There was a strange sound coming from the paper cup filled with soy milk.
Then Xia Li said, "It's inhaling, inhaling, not exhaling, like this."
As he spoke, he demonstrated and took a full breath of air into his lungs.
Lucia nodded and tried again.
“…Don’t breathe when you’re breathing in!”
Seeing that she was about to suck him over, Xia Li quickly corrected her.
"Um...well!"
Lucia quickly learned how to use the straw. It was her first time to come into contact with such a magical gadget.
When Lucia sucked the fragrant and slightly sweet soy milk into her mouth, her eyes widened. What a magical magic!
...No, this shouldn't be magic.
"Is it delicious?" Xia Liyang asked.
Lucia nodded vigorously.
She didn't say anything, just held the cup of soy milk in her hand and drank it silently, like a cat.
"Today I'm mainly taking you to the street to buy daily necessities."
After breakfast, Xia Li glanced at the time on his mobile phone.
It's almost eight o'clock, and supermarkets in the city have already opened one after another. It should be just the right time to go there now.
"Let's take the bus and it'll take half an hour to get to the city center," said Xia Li.
Lucia was still drinking the soy milk in her hand. At this time, the soy milk had already run out. The straw sucked up the last bit of liquid intermittently, making a poor "gurgling" sound.
Lucia didn't even know what a bus was or what the city center was, but she would just follow Xia Li wherever he said he would take her.
In order to let this inexperienced dragon experience the simplest way of transaction in the human world, Xia Li specially scanned the code of the snack stand selling fried rice cakes and asked the owner to exchange two yuan in coins.
"Once you get on the bus, put the coin into the box... and then follow my instructions." Xia Li said.
“Is this the currency of the human world?”
Lucia spread the two coins in her palm and looked at them again and again.
Of course she knew that transactions in the human world required currency, but this was the first time she had seen the currency of this world.
"Yes, this is a one dollar coin."
Xia Li thought about it, and in order to let the evil dragon have an idea of the amount of money, he added, "The fried baba we just ate was three yuan, the soy milk was four yuan, and the steamed buns were three yuan... Oh, by the way, the piece of bread you had in your hand yesterday was worth five yuan."
"Oh……"
Lucia sighed meaningfully, and no one knew what was going on in her mind.
Xia Li took her to the bus stop, Lucia followed behind in small steps and suddenly asked.
"Do you have any more one dollar coins?"
"Yes, yes, what do you want to do?"
"Then give me another one. I want to buy some fried poop."
"…you!"
Xia Li almost suffocated his breath.
The good news is, at least this dragon knows that 1+2=3.
The bad news is that this guy really only thinks about eating.
But it makes sense. Lucia has no desires at this stage. She has not found what she wants to do or what she should do in this world, so she can only follow the most instinctive desires of the dragon clan and eat and sleep.
"This is money for you to take the bus, not for eating!"
"What's a ride?" Lucia asked, looking up.
"It's a means of transportation, somewhat similar to the carriages on the Aize continent."
"Oh, I know about the carriage... Humans like to tame all kinds of wild beasts to pull their carriages."
After hearing what Xia Li said, Lucia could understand it very well. She followed Xia Li to the bus stop.
At this time, the bus stops were basically occupied by nine-to-five office workers. They were crowded on the platform. It was the first time that Lucia faced so many people at the same time.
She moved her feet somewhat uncomfortably and secretly moved closer to Xia Li.
Looking up at Xia Li who was waiting for the bus seriously, Lucia looked at the endless stream of tin boxes in front of her.
"Are these all human transportation tools?"
Lucia's arms were almost pressed against Xia Li's. She felt a little embarrassed, so she found a topic to talk about.
"Well, these are all cars. As long as they have wheels and run on the ground, we call them 'cars'."
"Oh…"
Silently noting down the new knowledge points learned today, Lucia asked Xia Li again.
"What about your car?"
