Chapter Fifty-Six

  In this summer, Zuo Xiaolong only saw Niuba once. That time was when he went to return the money. But Niuba was in low spirits and just hugged Zuo Xiaolong and cried. Zuo Xiaolong didn't ask why, he thought that girls were all like this. For Zuo Xiaolong, his emotional world was very simple, and the characters were not connected at all. A considerable part of those he hated and disliked had been electrocuted to death, and another part were those he considered did not conform to social morality. His friends were just Dashi and Liu Bimeng. He thought Dashi was a stupid person without ambition. The girl he liked, Niuba, was the blessing from his previous life. But Zuo Xiaolong hoped that in the end, he could leave for his next life the one he liked, Huang Yin, but he couldn't see any hope of development with her.

  Update, faster, computer station: . Local mobile phone station: . Support literature, support ! More and more outsiders are coming to Tinglin Town, while locals are becoming fewer. After the big cow of Huangjia was killed, there were no more mutated creatures in Tinglin Town. People searched all over Tinglin Town, even draining the Longquan River, but they couldn't find any more mutated creatures. They had all been eaten up.

  That day, the American National Geographic magazine came to Tinglin Town. Many foreigners arrived. The residents were very curious. After spreading the word, everyone thought that several geography teachers from the United States had come, and Secretary Xin received the National Geographic team. The secretary said, "Please sit down."

  The reporters all sat down.

  The secretary said: You come from America. What's the matter?

  Reporters said: Because we heard that in China there is a magical place where animals have grown bigger.

  The secretary regretfully said: "How come you guys just found out about this news so late?"

  The journalists replied: Sorry sir, your country has blocked our website. Our country has also blocked yours.

  The secretary said: Oh. This is not a blockade, this is the government taking care of the people, to prevent some unverified, maliciously provocative, and harmful information that damages ethnic feelings and undermines stability and unity from spreading. These pieces of information are very detrimental to raising the ideological awareness of the masses. Blocking many of your websites is one of our government's practical measures for the people's benefit. You claim to be a democratic and free country, don't you also block our websites? That's why you only found out about this news now.

  Reporter: Oh, Secretary. It's not that we're not interested in your country's website. We just didn't have any interest in it. I'm sorry to be late, but I wanted to get some samples and I saw the photos. After our research, the phenomenon here has great scientific value. We found this picture, which is likely what we've been searching for - a transitional animal between dinosaurs and birds with significant implications that will shock the world.

  The secretary said: Unfortunately, all large animals here have been eaten up.

  The crew exchanged whispers. They looked surprised. "Sorry, are you not full?" they asked. "Why do you want to eat them? They're such amazing animals."

  The secretary said: You are too unfamiliar with China, with the reform and opening up, we have eaten enough, according to the instructions put forward by our superiors. The main goal now is to improve the people's sense of happiness in life.

  The camera crew said: Why eat them away, are you happy eating them away?
