Chapter 36: Generation Gap
Translator: Lonelytree
Jiang Zhennan was really curious. What was a generation gap? Was it a gap on the road called Generation?
Jiang Zhennan didn’t think that was right.
Lin Yuelan’s big and round eyes focused on Jiang Zhennan. Then, she rolled her eyes. It was very cute and instantly made Jiang Zhennan’s heart tremble. His fingers that were holding the skewer couldn’t help but move.
He had not experienced this feeling before.
However, he could not help but smile bitterly in his heart.!!
He had been a terrifying figure in the hearts of all women and children since he was young. Therefore, he felt a little strange when he met a child who was not afraid of him.
Lin Yuelan did not know what Jiang Zhennan was thinking.
She explained in a relaxed manner, “How can you not know about the generation gap? Generation gap refers to the difference in views between two generations. For example, there is a huge psychological distance and psychological barrier in terms of thinking methods, values, life attitudes, hobbies, and other aspects of different generations. Do you get it now?”
The dumbfounded soldiers, “…”
The dumbfounded Uncle Guo Bing, “…”
The masked general, whose expression could not be seen, “…”
That was a long explanation, but they still didn’t understand anything!
Jiang Zhennan had never heard such a strange yet reasonable observation of human nature. It made him incredibly curious. He asked Lin Yuelan like a curious baby.
“Miss, what is the method of thinking?”
She was eating the rabbit and didn’t answer!
“Miss, what is the concept of values?”
She hadn’t done eating, so she didn’t answer.
“Miss, why is it three years a generation gap but not four years or five years?”
The subordinates stared at their leader with wide eyes again. He was actually asking the girl so many things.
Lin Yuelan ate more than a dozen strings of mushrooms, half a rabbit, and a rabbit’s head. She was finally full.
She took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth again. Then, she rolled her eyes at Jiang Zhennan again and chuckled, “Masked Uncle, if you really want to know the answers, why don’t you refer to Generations for Dummies?”
She was too lazy to answer so many questions. She was not familiar with him, so was there a need to answer him?
Of course, there was not!
Then, she stood up, patted her butt, looked at the other half of the rabbit meat, then glanced at the drooling eyes of the crowd around her and said, “The starting price for my half of the rabbit meat is half a tael of silver. The highest bidder will get it. The bidding starts now!”
“…” The crowd had no time to react to the sudden bidding war.
Jiang Zhennan was caught in the thought of Generations of Dummies. Why hadn’t he heard of that piece of literature before?
Lin Yuelan noted the crowd’s lack of reaction, and she raised her small eyebrows and grinned. “Since none of you want it, I’ll keep it and take it home and…” eat it for dinner.
Guo Bing immediately snapped back to attention. He immediately rushed over and snatched the half rabbit. Then he quickly handed Lin Yuelan half a tael of silver, picked up the rabbit meat, and put it into his mouth. Then he said while chewing, “Miss, they won’t afford such an expensive thing anyway. I’ll buy it for half a tael of silver.”
‘Damn, this roasted rabbit is so delicious! The seasoning is amazing!
‘It’s really too delicious!
‘No wonder Boss was enjoying himself so much!’
When the others came to their senses, Guo Bing had already slathered the whole rabbit with his saliva. Why? He was afraid that his prize would be snatched away. So, he had to mark it first. He’d see if the others dared to eat the rabbit after it was covered in his saliva.
‘Hmph, these people have to train for another ten years before they can fight with me.’
‘Damn! First Lieutenant Guo is really too shameless! But does he think he can monopolize the food with this underhanded tactic? Such wishful thinking!’ The others looked at each other and rubbed their hands greedily.
Lin Yuelan noticed the group was about to get into a food war. She picked up her cloth bag, carried it on her back, and prepared to leave.
Jiang Zhennan immediately called out, “Miss, where are you going?”
If she left just like that, would he be able to see her again in the future?
The girl had an easy and free personality. She did not seem like a wild child who had lived in the mountains and forests for a long time.
Would they be able to meet after she left? Probably not.
With that thought, Jiang Zhennan couldn’t help but call out to Lin Yuelan, wanting to ask her name and where she lived.
However, Lin Yuelan thought that he had stopped her because he was afraid that she would run away with the money.
Lin Yuelan pointed to the side of the fire. It was very clean except for the grass. She explained, “Don’t worry. I won’t run away with your gold ingots. You’ve ordered a lot of mushrooms, so I’m going to go harvest them. There are more than 400 mushrooms. Your subordinates will want more too. I will have to go and start mushroom-picking.”
Hearing that the girl wasn’t leaving him, Jiang Zhennan secretly let out a sigh of relief. However, when he heard how Lin Yuelan had misunderstood him, he quickly explained, “Miss… that wasn’t what I thought. I just wanted to go mushroom-hunting with you. Miss, do you mind?”
He had never felt so tongue-tied before. It sounded like he wanted to go with her to keep an eye on her to stop her from escaping.
Of course, that was not what he meant. He just wanted to spend more time with her.
Lin Yuelan didn’t think so much. If the masked man wanted to go with her, she didn’t mind.
On the contrary, she was happy to have someone to help her carry her bag or something. Although she had the space, there were many people around, and she couldn’t just open it at will.
Lin Yuelan nodded, raised her small face, and smiled happily. “Of course, uncle! Here…”
Lin Yuelan stretched out a hand, holding out the bag that was hanging on her back earlier.
Jiang Zhennan was a little confused. “Huh?”
“Carry the bag for me, please!” Lin Yuelan said matter-of-factly.
When the subordinates saw their leader following behind the girl, carrying the bag, their eyes widened in surprise, and they didn’t move at all.
Oh My God!
What is happening?!
