Chapter 431 I Can Only Ask You to Get Off
Walter looked at Xiao Peng and explained, "Boss, it's better to be prepared. There have been many cases of robberies during traffic jams on the highway in our country. You know, if the highway is blocked, you can't move forward. It's better to be careful."
Xiao Peng smiled bitterly and said, "You're too nervous. Besides, this isn't my car. You should ask Fabian."
Fabian thought for a moment and said, “Xiao, I think Walter is right. It’s better to be careful.”
Xiao Peng spread his hands: "Whatever!"
The car door opened and a gust of cold air blew in, making Xiao Peng shiver.
He tilted his head to glance. Standing outside the car were two women, one older, perhaps in her forties, the other in her twenties. Both were wrapped tightly in thick down jackets, leaving only their faces visible.
The older woman was startled when she saw Xiao Peng's oriental face, but she still asked in German, "Sir, could you please help us? The heater in our car is broken."
Walter asked, "Which one is your car?"
"It's the red one!" the woman replied hastily.
Xiao Peng tilted his head and saw a red Volkswagen Golf parked behind them on the right.
After taking a look, Walter said, "Take me to see what's wrong with your car. I can fix basic car problems!"
The two women took Walter with them to their car.
Fabian asked in confusion: "Xiao, what were they talking about just now?"
His German was so poor that he couldn't understand what they were saying.
Tom explained, "The two ladies just now said their car heater was broken and asked for help. Walter, go and take a look!"
Fabian finally came to his senses. "I just came to my senses. Tom, you speak French really well! Did you learn it in school?"
Tom shook his head and said, "No, we learn English in school, but our home is close to France. Due to historical reasons, there are many French people living here, so it's not surprising that we can speak French."
Xiao Peng finally realized that Heidelberg Castle was finally in the hands of the French, so it was normal for some French people to live here.
Walter came back not long after. He got in the car and said, "Boss, the water pump impeller on their car is broken and they can't heat it."
Fabian said, "What should we do? It's so cold, and people will freeze to death if they stay in a car without heater all night. How about this, Walter, let them get in our car and rest for a while."
Germany's climate is quite interesting, with warmer temperatures in the north and freezing temperatures in the south. The north has a maritime climate, making it warmer than the south, while the south has a more continental climate. Baden-Württemberg is one of the coldest states in Germany, with some places experiencing temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius.
Especially now with global warming, winters are getting colder.
Global warming does not mean that the temperature will continue to rise.
As the temperature rises, the ice and snow in the Arctic and Antarctic begin to melt. When the ice and snow melt, they absorb heat. The amount of solar heat absorbed by the earth every year is stable, and the melting of polar glaciers easily forms new cold currents, so extreme weather is likely to occur, that is, hotter summers and colder winters.
Walter asked the two ladies to get on the bus in German, but what the two ladies did next made Xiao Peng very satisfied: they first shook off all the snow on their luggage and clothes before getting on the bus, and they both took off their shoes and put them aside before getting on the bus.
Walter took them to the sofa, and seeing that they were freezing, he asked Diane to make two cups of hot coffee, while he found two thin blankets for them to cover to warm up: Actually, this was unnecessary, after all, the air conditioner in the car was very warm, and Xiao Peng and the others were wearing short sleeves.
Diane brought coffee to the two and casually asked, "Where are you going?"
"Thank you!" the older woman said after taking the coffee. "We were going to Regensburg. We didn't expect to encounter such awful weather. Thank you for your help. How about you?"
"Don't thank me. Thank Mr. Cousteau and Mr. Shaw from France. We're planning to go to the Zugspitze," Diane replied. "But I don't think we need to go there. If the snow doesn't stop, we can ski here tomorrow morning. What are you going to do in Regensburg?"
Diane asked casually, but the young woman who had been observing the surroundings of the RV was a little dissatisfied after hearing it: "Why do you ask so many questions? Are you police officers?"
When she said that, Diane felt a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
Tom was a little unhappy when someone said that to her mother. She said to Xiao Peng in French, "Mr. Xiao, do you know what they are saying?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "I understand. I learned German from your father."
After hearing this, Walter said to Tom, "Tom, Mr. Xiao can speak several languages. If you want to show off your language skills, you've found the wrong person."
However, those two women obviously did not understand French. The popularity of French in Germany is not high, but the popularity of English is quite good. In Germany, knowing English is basically enough for daily life.
Tom complained, "How can she say that about my mother?"
Fabian asked curiously, "What did they say just now?"
Xiao Peng told Fabian what had just happened, and Fabian said directly: "Walter, check their ID cards."
"Okay!" Walter's eyes lit up. He was also angry because of what he said about his wife just now.
As a result, when she heard that Walter wanted to check her ID, the young girl became anxious: "Who are you? Why do you want to check my ID? Unless you are a policeman, I will never let you check my ID!"
Walter answered directly: "We are indeed not the police, and we are indeed not qualified to check your ID...but we are not obligated to help you! Would you let a completely unfamiliar stranger into your home?"
After hearing Walter's words, the young girl couldn't refute it. Yes, why should others help you? Do you really think that "everyone in the world is your father"?
Seeing that she didn't speak, Walter continued: "If you can't do what we ask, then we can only say sorry. We won't let a stranger who doesn't know the details get on the bus. If it's a criminal, then our current behavior is not inviting a wolf into the house? You don't let us know your identity, I can understand that you want to protect yourself. Then we have to protect ourselves too, right? It's understandable that you don't trust us, and we have reason not to trust you! If you don't tell me your identity, then we can only ask you to get off the bus!"
