Chapter 33

: Good and bad luck

After staying in the church for about ten minutes, the "butcher" stood up silently and walked out. Lin Neng followed closely as usual. The two stopped at the church door. Lin Neng found that although the mental outlook of the person who walked out here was not completely renewed, the gloomy component was somewhat reduced. He put on his weapon again, Lin Neng looked forward inadvertently. This look may not be as good as his first encounter with his partner, but in Lin Neng's opinion, this still had a great impact on his life.

Diagonally opposite the church is a bookstore, which seems to be the relative position of religion and science.

Lin En was sure that this was a bookstore because it had an open door, and the bookshelf inside was filled with books, and an old man with a white goatee and glasses sat at the door. He held a thick book in his hand, burying his head in his studies, occasionally looking up at the soldiers coming and going.

"Pig slaughter!"

Lin En shouted "butcher", pointed to the bookstore opposite, pointed to the wrist position, opened his five fingers with his right hand, and signaled that he would come back in five minutes.

Understanding this as five minutes or six points, the "butcher" was not surprised at the actions of this subordinate, but just nodded slightly and walked alone to the places where the previous companions gathered.

A bookstore means a dictionary, and maybe you can find a quick German manual. Thinking of this, Lynn almost trotted to the door of the bookstore. Seeing that the old man wearing glasses did not look up to pay attention to him, he walked straight into the bookstore. Although the enemy would soon come here, the small bookstore was still filled with all kinds of books, but I didn't know whether they could be spared from the destruction of the war.

With the English phrases he had, Lynn tried to find the bookshelf where the dictionary was placed, but he soon found that this trick was not good. After all, bookstores in different countries may have a big difference in the habit of dividing book types, and the German language on the bookshelf and the German language on the books were not easier to understand than the German language spoken by the German guys outside with their little tongues. So he tried to find places to gather thick books, but many ordinary books were actually hardcover and hard-covered. Just when this unlucky guy was at a loss, a very vicissitudes of voice came from the door.

Lynn turned her head and nothing unexpected happened. It was the old man wearing glasses who spoke to him. Although his speaking speed was not very fast, Lynn still couldn't understand a word and didn't know how to express the dictionary. He thought about it very hard and tried to piece together the English words: "english-geman-book!"

If you don't say this, the old man lowered his head and looked at Lin Neng carefully with the glasses behind the lens, as if he saw a monster - or rather, maybe a spy.

Seeing this, Lynn quickly took out his soldier's certificate from his pocket, patted his chest and said, "Daniqi! Daniqi!"

"Danny?"

The old man's eyes changed into curious expressions. He carefully took Lynn's soldier certificate and looked at it. He looked at Lynn in the photo above, and then repeated Lynn's broken English just now: "english-geman-book?"

Lin En nodded repeatedly.

The old man handed the ID back to Lin En, and then moved straight to the bookshelf near the northeast corner. The trembling movement made Lin En want to go up and support him, but unfortunately the passage between the bookshelf could only accommodate the two of them sideways. After getting in place, the old man took a small book with a yellow soft leather cover from the top without thinking. After pausing for a while, he walked to another corner and took a slightly larger and thin book from the bottom. He held them and moved back to Lin En, said "goodluck", and moved to the door to read his book.

With curious and expectant feelings, Lynn picked up the small book and read it. There were four rows of characters printed in the center of the cover. He didn't recognize the two rows above, and the two rows below immediately made his heart beat faster than one hundred:

english-geman

geman-english

Thank the heaven, the earth, the gods of the East and the West, and the omnipotent Creator. Isn’t this the “divine weapon” that Lin Neng dreams of!

A good small dictionary of "English-De-English" is not only hidden in the corner of the bookstore, but also has a completely opposite to what Lin En speculated. If it weren't for the old man's help, Lin En probably would have to read through the books in the bookstore to find it.

Looking at another book, except for Geman whom Linen knew, the other words and words are basically "Flying Immortals from the Sky". In the past, he was helpless, but now he is different from the past. He holds a "magic weapon" in his hand. Linen learns and uses it now, and flips through the small dictionary and finds the corresponding English annotation: "Daily German Conversations".

Being troubled by language barriers on the battlefield, Lynn was so happy that he almost fainted. With these two super invincible reference books, shouldn’t the future be open?

When he left the bookstore with two divine books in his hand, Lynn could already say "thank you" to the old man at the door in German. In his era, many people actually chose to wander alone in a foreign land for life or other reasons. For them, cultural differences and racial discrimination are secondary. Language barriers are often the first hurdle they face, so many people were filled with sadness when they recalled the first years. Now, Lynn's situation is so similar to them. The world here is clearly full of various voices, but to him it is as monotonous as black and white.

When he walked towards the "butchers" and his companions, Lynn never felt that they were so amiable. Although he could not communicate with them smoothly at the moment, it was only a matter of time!

"It's almost six o'clock!"

The "butcher" looked at his watch and said, "I had been in the bookstore for more than a moment without realizing it. Lynn learned the first lesson of "Daily German Conversations" through the dictionary: Time. Being able to understand the other person's words was like being deaf and regaining his hearing. It also made him feel that the world opened its arms to him for the first time, and naturally there was an indescribable excitement in his heart.

The "butcher" seemed to have not noticed the changes in his companions. He walked towards the blacksmith shop silently, and his expression seemed to be more soothing than before entering the church. Following the "butcher"'s butt, Lynn thought to himself: It seems that the German soldiers during World War II were not all fighting under the fanatical inspiration of the head of state and fascism, and religious belief is still an important spiritual support for a considerable number of people.

The two soon arrived at the "blacksmith shop". The "butcher" came into the shop and spoke to the old blacksmith. He kept shouting "Valch" at the top of his voice, and said something Lin En couldn't understand behind his name. Immediately afterwards, a young man wearing a German 36-type field uniform took a shell gun and handed it to the "butcher". The young soldier looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pretty face, a youthful and shy expression. In the era before Lin En traveled through time, he was considered a small master in the "foreign princess". Walking on the streets of China would definitely attract the covetousness of many lustful sisters.

Unfortunately, the guns and guns on the battlefield treat handsome men equally and will never have any bias. If you fight in a team, it is safer to choose a rough and handsome man like "butcher". Lynn was thinking about these endless things, but the "butcher" had already tested the gun for him, and turned around and handed it to Lynn. At this moment, Lynn did something that he was puzzled: after taking the gun, he looked at it, and there was no problem with his appearance. He pulled the gun directly with his thumb, and then pulled the trigger with his index finger without his brain.

Bang!

The crisp and deafening gunshot scared Lin En and everyone around him. Lin En returned from his soul and was stunned by his recklessness - fortunately the gun was not aimed at anyone, otherwise it would be even more difficult to explain!

Before the "butcher" made any statement, a baritone roar suddenly came from the other direction. Lynn turned his head at a loss, and at this time a wisp of smoke was still emitting the muzzle of the shell gun.
