Kang Xiaoqiao turned her head and looked at Lin An's sincere expression. She sneered and said, "Uncle Lin, you're so serious."
"This sister is very knowledgeable. She always says that I'm a country bumpkin and uncultured. May I ask if this sister knows so much about trains? Do you know what this train eats? How fast is it traveling at? How does it travel? Are there any drawbacks?"
Kang Xiaoqiao's sudden outburst stunned Lin An, and the people around him naturally heard it too. There was no lack of women on the train, so they couldn't help but whisper.
"Good question. Tsk, didn't they just take a few trains? Everyone calls them country bumpkins when they see them."
"That's right, it's as if they're so great. They look down on this and that, what the heck."
"The young lady is already asking questions. Aren't you cultured? Don't you know everything? Why are you answering?"
"Yeah, why aren't you answering? You even said that she's a country bumpkin and uncultured. How is she now? She can't answer, right?"
"That's right, that's right, tch -- what the heck is that?"
...
There was no lack of people who were sitting on the train for the first time. After hearing her words, they were naturally angry. Because they didn't say anything about them, they couldn't say anything. Now, they naturally vented their anger.
When Zhang Lili heard this, her eyes turned red. Lin An hurriedly apologized, "This lady, I'm really sorry. My cousin..."
Before she could finish, Zhang Lili said loudly, "Cousin, what do you owe her? Bah, a country bumpkin is a country bumpkin. I don't believe that she would know."
"Don't try to fool me. If you want to know, tell me."
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at her coldly and said, "What if I know?"
Zhang Lili gritted her teeth and said, "If you know, I'll apologize to you."
Kang Xiaoqiao suddenly laughed. It was so beautiful that many people were stunned. Then, a clear voice woke them up. "It's natural to apologize. Moreover, you have to admit that you're a country bumpkin and uncultured. How about it? Do you dare?"
Zhang Lili heard this and said angrily, "You?"
"What, you don't dare?"
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at her with contempt and provocation. Zhang Lili heard this and her eyes turned red. She gritted her teeth and said, "Hmph, what's there to be afraid of? I've been on the train so many times and I still don't know. I don't believe that you already know this since it's your first time on the train."
After Zhang Lili agreed, Lin An's face turned as ugly as it could be. This cousin really didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Just by looking at her dressing and bearing, did she look like an uncultured person?
Not to mention the military officer beside her who was constantly emitting cold air. If it wasn't for this little girl stopping him, he would have been beaten up. Lin An felt depressed. This idiot. At the same time, he swore to not have any contact with her after sending her over... Stay as far away from her as possible in the future.
However, Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and looked at her with a look of disdain as she said, "Heh, some people say that she's not happy because she's uncultured. Even if you ride the train through, you still don't know. So, you should read more when you have nothing to do."
"Listen carefully. This train is also called a steam locomotive. It uses coal as its power and the steam engine as its core. Therefore, it eats coal."
"The engine of a steam locomotive is actually a coal-fired steam boiler. Through the combustion of coal, water is turned into high-pressure, high-temperature steam. Steam has a lot of energy. It sprays steam into the engine cylinder to push the piston. The piston drives other machines to move the wheels forward."
After saying that, she looked out of the window and said, "Nowadays, the speed of this train varies according to the terrain. Most of it is no more than 60 kilometers per hour."
"As for its shortcomings and disadvantages, the steam locomotive has a huge boiler, so it is very cumbersome, slow, inefficient, noisy, and loud. Everyone has heard it. Moreover, the working environment is poor, with high temperatures, smoke, dust, and so on."
After saying all this, she smiled and said, "How is it? Are you admitting defeat?"
As soon as Kang Xiaoqiao finished speaking, the people around her fell silent. Everyone was guessing if this person was from the train factory. Otherwise, how would they know so much?
Lin An and Zhang Lili's expressions became even worse. Lu Yichen furrowed his brows. He knew what his wife was like the best. It was very difficult for ordinary people to know about train structures like this. She had never traveled far before, and this was even her first time taking a train. How could she know?
Although there was a train station in Daqiao town, it did not connect to the county. Therefore, Kang Xiaoqiao had never taken a train before.
And Kang Xiaoqiao was not a professional, so she naturally did not know. However, she was a very strange person, and she was very curious about the things around her.
There was once when she was on a high-speed train, and she had nothing to do, so she thought, why is this high-speed train so fast? And so stable? So she began to visit Du Niang.
She also went through the entire train's progress, so she knew all this.
But none of the people present knew, especially that Zhang Lili. At this moment, she was so angry that her face was red. She pointed at Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "Bah! What are you talking about? What if what you said is a lie to us? If no one knows, how would you know?"
Kang Xiaoqiao heard this and looked at her indifferently. "Why don't we talk about you? It's so scary to be uneducated. You should read more when you have nothing to do. If you read more, your knowledge will naturally grow. You don't believe me, right? Then why don't you call the conductor here?"
At this time, Lu Yichen's identity was absolutely outstanding. Soon, not to mention the conductor, even the conductor came. After hearing Kang Xiaoqiao's words, they all nodded in agreement and even explained it to everyone.
After the people left, Zhang Lili's expression was abnormally ugly. Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "What? This sister can't afford to lose?"
Zhang Lili saw this and said angrily, "Who's a sore loser?"
Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "It's good that you're not a sore loser. Then hurry up and say it. What are you waiting for?"
Zhang Lili looked at Kang Xiaoqiao angrily, tears rolling in her eyes. Although Lin An felt that his cousin deserved it, he couldn't just watch her get bullied like this.
Thus, he opened his mouth and said, "This..."
Before he could finish speaking.. Kang Xiaoqiao glanced at him coldly and said, "Uncle Lin, this is a matter between us young ladies. As a man, you shouldn't get involved. Are you deaf or blind? Why? It's fine when your cousin bullies others, but can't others seek justice?"
"Or are you saying that you're bullying me because I don't have a cousin? I don't have a cousin, but my husband is a handsome man here. Could it be that Uncle Lin wants to practice with my husband? Exchange feelings?"
Lin An looked at the cold-eyed Lu Yichen. Although he sat there and didn't move, he was imposing without being angry. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Wasn't he courting death by fighting with a soldier?
