9, Transcendentalism
Lin Zhixia heard the "beep" sound twice. After the phone was connected, she spoke, "Hey, I'm Lin Zhixia."
Jiang Yubai replied on the other side of the phone: "Hello, I am Jiang Yubai."
Lin Zhixia pulled up the phone line, held the landline, and walked to the bedroom door. She opened a crack in the bedroom door and looked out. Sure enough, her father picked up the landline receiver in the living room and was listening to the conversation between Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai.
Lin Zhixia took a deep breath and said calmly: "Hello, Jiang Yubai, I've been home. Today we all had a lot of fun at your home. Thank you very much for the hospitality."
Jiang Yubai was more polite than her: "You're welcome, it's time to entertain classmates."
Lin Zhixia echoed: "Okay, see you tomorrow."
Jiang Yubai also said: "See you tomorrow."
Lin Zhixia immediately hung up the phone. She washed her hands, opened the lunch box with a sense of ritual, and tasted a bite of the osmanthus cake... It was really delicious, she was stunned for a while before she realized it.
She put down her lunch box, searched through the cabinets and found a book called "Top Michelin Restaurant Recipes".
Before going to bed that night, Lin Zhixia had been sitting at the table and studying the recipes in this book.
This leads to a problem.
Lin Zhixia forgot to do her homework.
She has a good memory and can basically remember it as long as she thinks about it carefully.
However, this weekend, Lin Zhixia put her homework behind her. It was not until six o'clock on Monday morning that she remembered this big thing. She quickly ran to wash, took a piece of bread from the refrigerator, carried her schoolbag and prepared to go out.
Lin Zeqiu had just taken a shower. He was wiping his hair with a towel. Seeing his sister's anxious look, he asked strangely: "Lin Zhixia, why are you anxious?"
Lin Zhixia was confident: "I want to go to school!"
Lin Zeqiu asked suspiciously: "You guys arrive at school before seven o'clock today?"
"You don't have to worry about it!" Lin Zhixia rushed out of the house.
She ran all the way to school.
After arriving in the classroom of Class 4 (1), Lin Zhixia rushed to her seat, took out her homework, and began to write quickly. She wanted to make up for a weekly diary, an English reading thought, and a unit of math exercises.
The weekly diary and English thoughts were only 200 words. Lin Zhixia completed it very quickly. Then she opened the math exercise book, which was all multiple-choice questions. She finished writing one by one in less than a minute.
After finishing the homework, Lin Zhixia took out her notebook and continued to record the "Human Observation Diary".
Lin Zhixia wrote in his diary: Yesterday I accepted the invitation and visited Jiang Yubai's home. I played the Bubble Ball Battle with many friends at Jiang Yubai's home. The Jiang Yubai I observed was a brave, upright, honest, and not abandoning my companions. I lost to Nie Tianqing in the game of "Stone, Scissors, Cloth". Jiang Yubai made a shocked expression. He didn't believe that I would fail. Is this an external manifestation of trust in me? I couldn't help but wonder. My intuition told me that although I am not a firm supporter of Transcendentalism, if my intuition was not wrong, maybe after I graduated from elementary school, Jiang Yubai would still be my best friend...
Having written this, Lin Zhixia stopped writing.
Because Jiang Yubai stepped into the classroom.
Today, Jiang Jubai arrived at school earlier than usual.
As soon as Jiang Yubai appeared, Dong Sunqi greeted him enthusiastically: "Jiang Yubai! Good morning!"
"Good morning." Jiang Yubai responded. He walked towards his seat, put down his schoolbag, and happened to see the book "Human Observation Diary" in front of Lin Zhixia.
He couldn't help but put his hand on the table. He sat down slowly, endured for a while, and thought in secret: My competition with her will never stop.
Lin Zhixia said to him: "Strawberries are very sweet, osmanthus cake is delicious, and the pen is also very useful. Thank you!"
Jiang Yubai spoke directly: "Can I read your diary?"
"Of course." Lin Zhixia pushed the diary in front of him.
Lin Zhixia's behavior was beyond Jiang Jubai's expectations. She was a little too frank.
Jiang Yubai took Lin Zhixia's notebook and turned to the page today. Lin Zhixia wrote, "Jiang Yubai is a brave, upright, honest person who does not abandon his companions." He glanced at him and saw a line of "If my intuition was not wrong, maybe after I graduated from elementary school, Jiang Yubai would still be my best friend." He immediately closed Lin Zhixia's notebook and stuffed it back into her desk drawer.
Then, he asked, "What is Transcendentalism?"
Lin Zhixia answered: "According to my understanding, it means that a person uses intuition to feel the world, ignores the pleasure brought by material things, and attaches importance to the spirit and inner self."
Jiang Yubai thought for a moment: "Like Thoreau?"
Lin Zhixia asked in surprise: "Do you know Thoreau? Thoreau is a famous writer and philosopher."
Jiang Yubai said: "I have read "Walden" written by Thoreau."
Lin Zhixia turned around and faced him: "I have also read Thoreau's "Walden". Thoreau wrote a sentence in the book, 'I am willing to penetrate into life deeply, suck the bone marrow of life, live a solid and simple life, and eliminate all content that does not belong to life in a clean and neat way'... This sentence should also be a summary of Transcendentalism."
When Jiang Yubai heard her retelling the contents of the book word for word, he couldn't help asking: "Lin Zhixia, can you recite the full text of "Walden"?"
"Yes," Lin Zhixia nodded, "I didn't mean it. Do you understand?"
Jiang Yubai was confused: "I don't understand very much."
Lin Zhixia explained: "When you memorize, you have to take time to memorize. I am the opposite of you. I want to forget one thing, which requires energy. I have been training myself and improving my ability to forget. Now I have gained a little... I forgot to do my homework last weekend."
Jiang Yubai asked her: "The ability to forget? What's the good thing about forgetting one's nature?"
Lin Zhixia shook her head: "Some things are not worth remembering. If I quarrel with my brother, I don't want to remember them."
"Do you have an older brother?" Jiang Yubai digs deep into the competitor's family information, "Bird brother?"
"Yes. He is three years older than me and is on the first day of the junior high school this year." Lin Zhixia answered honestly.
Jiang Yubai asked again: "Do you often quarrel with him?"
Lin Zhixia held her chin with one hand: "I often have disputes with him. What about you? Will you have disputes with your parents at home?"
Jiang Yubai found his homework book from his schoolbag: "My parents are very busy with work. They don't have time to have a dispute with me."
Lin Zhixia nodded frequently. She took out a brand new notebook, held the pen given to her by Jiang Yubai, and wrote on the title page: Lin Zhixia gave Jiang Yubai the time he gave to him.
Jiang Yubai found it very strange. What is "the time given to me"? Can time be given to others?
He saw Lin Zhixia make a catalog in the notebook: history, geography, astronomy... Before Lin Zhixia finished writing, Jiang Yubai used a pencil to chew the word "history".
Lin Zhixia thought for a while and wrote: African history, Asian history, European history, American history...
Jiang Yubai immediately checked "African History".
Lin Zhixia asked him: "Do you always choose the first one?"
Jiang Yubai urged her: "Continue writing."
Lin Zhixia continued to write: Egypt in North Africa has the earliest historical records in Africa. At least ten thousand years ago, Egyptians settled on the Nile River. "rah" is considered to be the most important god of the ancient Egyptians. It is said that the sun god "rah" will board the treasure ship before dawn and pull the sun, and the goddess of truth will lead the sun. Research has proved that the ancient Egyptians would use toothpaste and soap to clean their bodies...
"Is there soap in ancient Egypt?" Jiang Yubai drew a horizontal line under the word "soap".
"Yes, it is said that a chef in the ancient Egyptian palace was the one who invented the soap." Lin Zhixia answered enthusiastically.
She drew a box with a strange shape in the blank space of the paper page. In front of the box was a statue of a pharaoh wearing the Ateph crown, and next to the statue was a line of small words: the soap box of the ancient Egyptian pharaoh.
Jiang Yubai asked her: "Do you remember even the pictures you have seen?"
"Remember," Lin Zhixia described, "this ancient Egyptian soap box is what I see from the "Ancient Egyptian Empire" in the provincial library."
Jiang Yubai was very interested. He especially liked to read books such as "Unsolved Mysteries of the World", "Searching Ancient Civilization Kingdoms" and "Complete History Documentary" - the real and dangerous historical mystery always has an ancient and mysterious attraction.
Jiang Yubai changed into a fountain pen and wrote on Lin Zhixia's notebook: Have you heard of the Khufu pyramid?
"Of course." Lin Zhixia immediately drew a perspective view of a large pyramid. The four corners of the tower were exactly facing the four directions of southeast, west and north - because the four corners of the Khufu pyramid were facing the southeast, west and north, and its error was less than 0.167 degrees [1].
Jiang Yubai asked her: "The Pyramid of Khufu is a building that lasted over 2,000 BC, with a total weight of more than 6 million tons. Why could the ancient Egyptians make the error of a behemoth so small?"
Lin Zhixia replied: "The pyramid group in Egypt, including the pyramid of Khufu..."
She drew three stars of Orion cluster in the notebook and arranged three pyramids below the stars: "Jiang Yubai, have you heard of 'Orion'? 'Orion' is a constellation in the universe, whose north is drawn into the Milky Way. The three great pyramids in Egypt are all the mapping of Orion stars on the ground, with very small errors. Therefore, an alternative hypothesis was generated, the English name is Orion tion theory [1], which specifically refers to the connection between the Egyptian pyramids and Orion. I have a serious conjecture."
Jiang Yubai listened attentively: "What guess?"
Lin Zhixia began to draw again: "The three laws of larson tell us that molecular clouds are similar to the equilibrium state of micro-intelligence. The molecular cloud core of Orion is a high-density area with very strong gravity! But I think, according to my speculation, the collapse of the cloud core into a star does not come from its own gravity, but from the magnetic field and other star systems..."
Jiang Jubai's fingertips pressed against Lin Zhixia's pen.
She turned her head and looked at him without turning her eyes.
He said, "I'll draw one too."
Jiang Yubai pulled over the notebook and drew a human figure on the notebook - it could barely be seen as a human shape. The man was wearing a ponytail and wearing a small skirt. He wrote three words next to him: Lin Zhixia.
Lin Zhixia asked: "Why did you paint me like this? Am I so ugly?"
Jiang Yubai painted an uglier person and marked it next to him: Jiang Yubai.
Lin Zhixia's anger subsided: "I'm a little better than you."
Jiang Yubai used a brace to enclose all the content Lin Zhixia had written before, and then pointed an arrow at the heads of the two villains. He regarded Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai as the protagonists and created comics for the two of them.
He wrote seriously: In 2004 AD, Lin Zhixia and Jiang Jubai wandered to Orion in the universe...
"Why are we two wandering?" Lin Zhixia asked in confusion.
Jiang Yubai said: "Because..."
Before he could figure out the reason, Lin Zhixia suggested happily: "Because we want to explore the universe!"
Jiang Yubai named his homemade comic "Exploring the Universe", and the title of the first chapter is "Orion Wandering".
When Ding Yan and Dong Sunqi came to play with Jiang Yubai, they happened to see the comic "Exploring the Universe" drawn by Jiang Yubai.
Ding Yan rushed over and took a look, and immediately said, "Jiang Yubai, buddy! Arrange a role for me too! This time I want to be with you!"
Jiang Jubai draws a human figure in a flowing manner, and points out on the side: Ding Yan, male, 9 years old, one of Jiang Jubai's companions. He wanders in Orion with Jiang Jubai and Lin Zhixia.
"I want it too!" Dong Sunqi volunteered, "Let me be a villain! I want to be a big villain!"
Jiang Yubai remembered what Lin Zhixia said to him and wrote Dong Sunqi's biography on the spot: Dong Sunqi, male, 9 years old, the controller of the magnetic field, can control the collapse of Orion's cloud core.
"Damn!" Dong Sunqi said in surprise, "I'm so awesome!"
Although he couldn't understand the settings, he felt that he was very powerful. He also asked: "Hey, where is your biography of Lin Zhixia?"
Jiang Jubai turned back to the previous page and wrote below the three words "Lin Zhixia": Lin Zhixia, 9 years old, is a genius, the god of truth, and the leader on the nebula.
Ding Yan felt very puzzled. Jiang Yubai said that he regarded Lin Zhixia as a competitor, but he set the character "Lin Zhixia" in the comics, which is both a "genius", a "god of truth", or a "navigator on the nebula"... This is too strong!
Ding Yan has watched many TV series, such as "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan", "The Emperor of Han" and "The Qianlong Dynasty". Generally speaking, the strongest character must be the protagonist.
So, Ding Yan keenly realized: "Jiang Yubai! Lin Zhixia is the heroine in your comic! You are the hero yourself! Lin Zhixia is the heroine!"
"We are companions," Jiang Yubai declared, "just like the Lord of the Rings Expedition in "The Lord of the Rings."
Chapter completed!
