Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 237 Enlightenment and Relief
"If you are lucky enough to live in Paris when you are young, then it will be with you no matter where you go in your later life.".This is Hemingway's admiration for Paris in "A Feast in Paris".

But to Liang En, this city was not much different from the cities he had been to before.Of course, this may also be because the previous few visits were either too small or rushed, and did not have too many stays in this city.

For Joan of Arc, this city was an unattainable dream of her back then. She once led troops to the city of Paris and launched an attack, but she had to lead her troops to retreat because of orders from the king.

From a certain point of view, her experience is very similar to the situation when Yue Fei was forced to return after receiving 12 gold medals, so it was expected that he would choose this city as the first stop of the trip.

From the moment she got off the plane and took a taxi into the city, Joan of Arc just looked out the window without saying a word, until she entered Liang En's room after entering the hotel she booked in advance and putting her luggage in the room.

"This is completely different from the Paris in my impression." After sitting down on the chair, Joan of Arc told Liang En her feelings about this city in the first sentence.

"I can't see anything in common between this city and the Paris in my impression. Both the architecture and the people are far from the Paris of the year. I can't find any pictures that make me feel familiar."

"What's wrong with that?" Looking at the confused Joan of Arc in his eyes, Liang En smiled and said, "Since you have had the chance to live again, isn't this city reborn? Is it a normal thing?"

"I know that the city is still completely different from what you remember. But I think this kind of change is a kind of self-renewal of the city. Compared with the same, this kind of change is obviously good—"

"Yes, you are right." After hearing Liang En's words, Joan of Arc quickly fell into thinking.But after only a few minutes, she raised her head, and at the same time, she looked much more lively than before.

"The past can never come back, so instead of dwelling on the memories, look up to the future and make each day count."

"That's right, we have to look forward instead of worrying about our past regrets." After listening to Joan of Arc's words, Liang En Liang En applauded lightly.

To be honest, since the first meeting with Joan of Arc, Liang En found that this girl seemed to have something hidden in her heart, so that she seemed a little depressed.

He was not surprised by this situation, because anyone who knew Joan's life experience would know how many heavy things this young girl was carrying in her heart.

But now the times have changed, so Liang En naturally hopes that she can be herself again, instead of being trapped in those old memories, so this trip to France with her this time is also related to this.

Now it seems that although Joan of Arc has not received much formal education, she has a much stronger thinking ability than ordinary people, so she can figure out the things in such a short period of time.

So in the following journey, Joan of Arc suddenly seemed much more relaxed than in the past. In Liang En's eyes, she is now really the young girl Jeanne, not the Saint Joan of Arc.

Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame de Paris... Liang En and the others visited these various attractions, especially Joan of Arc went to see the piece inside Notre-Dame de Paris that says 1455, the Holy See is here A commemorative bronze medal for the process of convening a redress meeting for Joan of Arc.

It's just that she didn't take much interest in rehabilitating Joan of Arc this time. She felt that she was only a person who saved France under the guidance of the gods. Whether she was evaluated by the church as an evil witch or a saint, it didn't really mean much to her. .

She even admitted frankly when they went to dinner together that neither the trial nor the redress was based on her actions, but on the needs of those big figures back then.

"I understand, so getting out of that memory and looking at the world from a more objective perspective is the most important thing for you." After quietly listening to Joan of Arc's words, Liang En smiled Speaking of.

At this time, the waiter brought the first dish of the day from the back kitchen.So the two stopped chatting and started eating.

"This is a little different from when I ate." Taking advantage of the gap between the two dishes, Joan of Arc said to Liang En, "Leaving aside the changes in cooking techniques and cooking habits, the serving of dishes is different from the past. Significantly different."

In the time of Joan of Arc, Western food was served all the dishes on the table at one time and then started the banquet, instead of slowly serving them one by one as it is now.

This is mainly because with the progress of the times, some nobles and rich people are more inclined to show their ostentation and chat at the banquet, and if they are served together, it is easy to make the dishes cold in the banquet.

"You're right. It can even be said that the hundreds of years from your time to the present can be said to be the fastest period of change for human beings as a whole." Liang En nodded and said.

"So in addition to staying at home reading books and following my adventures, we still have to go out frequently in the future, which will help you understand the present world."

After spending three days traveling around Paris, Liang En and the others headed to the village of Domrémy-la-Picelle in Lorraine.After bypassing several groups of noisy travelers, they came to a small mound where they could see the whole picture.

"I was born here—" After finding a stone to sit down, Joan pointed to a two-story building surrounded by many tourists. "Of course, the small building there now should have been rebuilt later. My house back then was much worse than this—"

In the following time, Joan of Arc talked about life in her hometown back then.Unlike some street stall literature, her family is not very poor.

Joan's father was a low-ranking official in the village, responsible for taxes and organizing the defense of the village.The reason why he was able to obtain such a position was that he ran a farm with an area of ​​about 50 acres.

However, due to past productivity and wars, the farm can maintain food and clothing for the family, but it is not necessarily rich, so Joan of Arc had to go out to herd sheep to help the family when she was a child.

However, because it was an era of war, Joan was able to learn some simple knowledge about how to use weapons and how to ride a horse from her father and other people in the village.

If it was in a peaceful era, it would be basically impossible for Joan of Arc to teach this knowledge as a woman in that era, but after a long war, the situation naturally changed.

And what happened next was just like what was written in many biographies and records. Joan of Arc said that she heard the guidance from the angel, so she decided to save France.

"—Since then, I have never been home." Speaking of this, Jeanne stared straight at the two-story building in the distance and said, "It's just that I never thought about it. I will go back to my hometown like now.”
