Chapter 1065 Watching a Movie (1)
With a "click" sound, Liu Jingxue pulled the pull-cord switch, and the 25-watt light bulb hanging in the center of the room lit up, illuminating the entire room.
Looking at the dazzling and dim light from the incandescent bulb in front of her, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but frown.
“Why is the lighting a little different from modern times? It’s not very bright.
I remember the lights in my rental house were only 15 watts, not 25 watts, and they were much brighter than this.”
Liu Jingxue couldn't help but complain to Tuanzi.
"Did Zhou Mingxuan and his team get tricked into using a low-wattage light bulb and claiming it was a 25-watt bulb?"
But she had checked the markings on the bulb before and confirmed that it was 25 watts.
"Master, have you forgotten that the lights in the houses in Xinshi are like this, yellow and dim, not as bright as modern ones.
I guess the technology at that time was so advanced that they could only make this kind of light bulb."
Liu Jingxue nodded helplessly and could only accept this explanation.
"Tuanzi, why did a loser like me get the chance to travel through time?
If we can get a smart and intelligent person to come here, wouldn't he be able to bring the technological level of this era to a new level?"
That way she can benefit from it and enjoy the conveniences of modern life earlier.
Tuanzi in the space no longer paid attention to his crazy master and continued to take care of his own medicine garden.
It has a lot of things to do every day, and is not as idle as this owner who is used to being a hands-off boss.
"Master, do you really think that time travel is so common that one can do it easily?
If you and the original owner were not fundamentally the same soul, and if she had not had some affinity with you, and if she had not used the merits accumulated by the Liu family for generations to exchange for the opportunity for you to travel through time from the modern era, do you think you would still be standing here today? "
As early as in modern times, the moment a person is struck by lightning, his soul returns to the west and he becomes deader than ever.
After calling out to Tuanzi in her mind and getting no response, Liu Jingxue could only seduce him.
"Dumpling, you really ignored me.
I was planning to discuss with you about going to the cinema to watch a movie, but now it seems that’s not necessary.”
The next second, Tuanzi's voice sounded in his mind, "Master, are you planning to go to the movies?"
Under the dim light, the corners of Liu Jingxue's lips curled up slightly, and there was a mocking gleam in her eyes.
"You little brat, you still want to fight me? I can easily defeat you."
Of course, Liu Jingxue didn't dare let Tuanzi hear this. If she really pissed it off and it stopped helping her take care of everything in the space, then she would be the one suffering.
"Master, why are you silent? Are you really going to watch a movie?"
Tuanzi's questioning voice sounded again.
"Go, go, go, let's go tomorrow afternoon." Liu Jingxue responded quickly.
"Tuanzi, have you forgotten that you are a spirit and should not have human emotions?
How come you like watching movies more than a decent human like me, and you are even more impatient. "
"Master, when the day comes when you are locked up in a small dark room for thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands or millions of years, you will know how I feel.
I have to store more things in my brain now, so that next time when there is no master to activate me, I will be trapped in my body with my consciousness and endure loneliness. These things can help me get through those times."
Tuanzi's words made Liu Jingxue involuntarily put herself in the shoes of others, imagining that she was trapped in a small dark room forever, never seeing the light of day.
She couldn't help but shudder and felt extremely sympathetic towards Tuanzi.
"Don't worry, Tuanzi, I will definitely take you to see more movies."
Liu Jingxue regretted that the electronic resources she downloaded and purchased before traveling through time were not enough.
Seeing that his master promised to take him to the movies tomorrow afternoon, Tuanzi quickly reminded him,
"Master, you still need to send something to your uncle, don't forget to take it and send it tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingxue looked outside. It was already dark. Going to the cowshed to get something now would disturb Grandpa Wu's rest.
Since my uncle and aunt left, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao have been having dinner with the old man every night.
Liu Jingxue goes there every few days.
After Zhou Mingxuan slept with the old man for a few nights, he was sent back home by the old man.
When people get older, they don’t need as much sleep. They go to bed early and get up early, which is different from the schedule of young people. The old man doesn’t want to make things difficult for his grandson.
Besides, the weather is hot now, and many people get up early in the morning to go up the mountain.
If Zhou Mingxuan stayed here at night and got up early in the morning to go back to his home, there was a high probability that he would be seen by someone.
The old man didn't want to bring danger to his grandson.
After a brief thought, Liu Jingxue arranged, "Let's send some bacon, grain, and mountain products produced in the space tomorrow.
There are also ginseng wine, health pills, and various medicines.
As for the things that my uncle and his family left in the cowshed, I’ll send them next time. They’re out of season anyway and there’s no rush to use them.
If I send them all at once, it will be too conspicuous.”
As for the current items, Liu Jingxue doesn't plan to send them all at once.
She planned to use camouflage rings to disguise herself as different people and send the letters in several batches.
As for the issue of consistency between the sender, recipient name and address, this is not a problem for Liu Jingxue.
At that time, I will just put a little trick on the list so that Sister Jin, who is responsible for sending the package, can see that it is different.
As for the rest of the journey, the post office staff deal with so many packages every day that I don’t think they will pay too much attention.
After making up her mind, Liu Jingxue pulled the cord switch, turned off the lights, entered the space, and prepared the things to be sent tomorrow.
The next day at around 1:00 p.m., Liu Jingxue woke up from her lunch break, closed the door, and flew to the town in stealth.
Using camouflage rings to disguise themselves as three unidentified people and send the packed things out, Liu Jingxue, who had become invisible again, walked towards the town's cinema.
Although she had never been to the cinema to watch a movie since she came here, Liu Jingxue, who had been to the town countless times, had already figured out the location of the cinema.
Liu Jingxue walked to the cinema without getting around the crowd. As soon as she arrived there, she saw that in a small house on the left side of the cinema, a small door hole 30 cm high and 20 cm wide was deliberately left on the wall. The originally closed hole was suddenly opened.
Someone in the house stuck his head out of the hole and shouted outside,
"Tickets are now on sale for the movie 'Little Gunner', which starts at 2: p.m."
As the voice came out, the line that had been lined up outside the ticket window instantly became chaotic. People scrambled to squeeze forward and stretched their hands towards the small window to buy tickets first.
People who were originally not queuing and were standing in groups of three or four also ran to the ticket window and rushed to buy tickets.
If Liu Jingxue hadn't dodged in time, she would have been hit by someone while she was invisible.
Fearing that she would be bumped into and exposed, Liu Jingxue quickly ran away to avoid this crazy crowd.
"I bought the ticket, I bought the ticket." The man whose arm was bruised by the card excitedly waved the ticket in his hand and cheered to his companions who were waiting behind him.
"How many did you buy?" the companion asked quickly.
"Is there any need to ask? It must be one for each person.
The ticket is ten cents. Remember to give me the money."
"Go to the ticket gate first and line up. I'll give you the money in a moment."
At the small movie ticket window, Liu Jingxue saw all kinds of life.
Some people who bought tickets were cheering, some who didn't buy tickets because the tickets were sold out were cursing, some blamed their companions for running too slowly and thus not getting tickets, and some who didn't want to pay the extra dime for the tickets were crying poor to their companions and hoping that they would help them pay.
Seeing this, Liu Jingxue couldn't help but shudder, "Tuanzi, luckily I didn't plan to buy a ticket.
If I really bought a ticket to go in, I might not be able to beat these crazy people without using magic."
"Master, please think about how to get in later.
Didn’t you see that the ticket gate was already packed with people? You’re in invisible mode, so it’s hard to bump into anyone, otherwise people might think something supernatural is happening.
With the closed iron gate blocking the way, it would be difficult for you to go in early."
Liu Jingxue snapped her fingers, "Don't worry, I've already thought of a solution.
When the staff opened the iron gate and prepared to check tickets, I summoned a gust of wind to knock everyone down and blind their eyes.
I'll take this opportunity to sneak in."
Tuanzi was speechless, "Master, it's just a dime, there's really no need to do this."
"It's not about the money. I'll put a dime in the coin box later. I just don't want to squeeze with others.
In fact, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have to go into the cinema at all. I could just watch the movie outside using my spiritual sense.
But you can only detect the situation within a 20-meter radius around me. If you don’t go into the cinema, you can’t watch the movie. "
After hearing what Liu Jingxue said, Tuanzi immediately stopped talking.
This is true, it is really holding us back.
