Chapter 460 Finding Fault
Under Ye Ran's curious gaze, Yan Xiu'er explained: "Because the Leshan Giant Buddha is located at the confluence of the Minjiang River, Qingyi River and Dadu River, this place used to be prone to flooding."
Ancient people deeply believed in gods and Buddhas, so they built the Leshan Giant Buddha, hoping that with the Buddha's blessing, shipping would be smoother.
Ye Ran's interest grew even stronger after hearing this. "Really? So, after the repairs, it's really not as messy anymore?"
Yan Xiu'er nodded, "Yes! Nothing really happened after that."
Ye Ran exclaimed in admiration, "It's amazing! The wisdom of the ancients is truly unimaginable."
Lu Yi agreed with her point of view, "Haven't we seen enough amazing things? Some things are just that people say they don't exist because they haven't seen them before."
But not seeing something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I think that no matter what it is, there must be traces of its existence before all sorts of legends appear.
Those things that happened in the past may very well have actually occurred.
Ye Ran believed in these things more than anyone else, so after hearing this, she excitedly said, "Then let's go see the Leshan Giant Buddha after we return to China."
Lu Yi patted her head. "Okay, let's invite Grandpa and Grandma and the rest of us, the whole family can go together!"
The group was chatting happily when a spoilsport voice came from the side.
"As expected of Chinese people, they have no manners at all. Standing under the Statue of Liberty, they are still talking about their country's crappy Buddha statues. They look like they've never seen the world before."
The smiles on Lu Yi and Ye Ran's faces vanished instantly, and they glared at the person who had spoken.
To their surprise, the person who spoke had a typical Asian face. Although he had just spoken in English, he had clearly understood their conversation.
They were communicating in Beijing dialect, so the person who could understand Beijing dialect was very likely from that region.
If this person were from another place, Lu Yi and Ye Ran would only feel that this person did not respect their country. However, if this person was originally from their country, then the problem would be even bigger.
Lu Yi and Ye Ran's expressions instantly darkened further. Lu Yi stared at him without any politeness and questioned him directly in Beijing dialect, "What did you just say?! Say it again if you dare!"
The man looked at Lu Yi, who had a hostile expression, without flinching. "Say it again? Fine, I'll say it again! What can you do to me?!"
Lu Yi closed in on the man in a few steps. "You can understand our language, so you must be from our country?"
The man seemed to have been stepped on, and immediately bristled, "What nonsense are you talking about! How could I possibly be from your country?"
Who are you trying to curry favor with? Stop daydreaming.
Lu Yi sneered, "Me, trying to get close to you? Who do you think you are?!"
Just because you're missing a couple of scallions on your nose doesn't mean you think you're an elephant! Aren't you just a useless piece of trash who refuses to acknowledge his ancestors?
Ye Ran looked at him, then suddenly seemed to notice something, "This person's accent... could he be from the island?"
After listening, Lu Yi thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. He looked at him with a hint of amusement and said, "Then it's clear."
I knew it! How could kids like you possibly exist in our area? Oh, I see. No wonder…
