Chapter Ninety-Six: Learning Languages
For the people of Xueguo Town, this kind of heavy snowfall for several days on a day is really commonplace, and after the heavy snow stops and the sky clears, the people of the village come out and sweep the snow from the rooftops and streets one after another. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And Woz finally found the only village and town within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. After setting foot in this strange village, he found another big question: What are they talking about?
Since she had been spending the days with Lululua, who couldn't speak at all, Woz completely ignored the problem of language communication and was still using the original language in his memory. Originally, looking at the magic book in his hand, it was full of square characters that he recognized, and Wads took it for granted that this was also the common language of this world, maybe Chinese had unified the pan-universe?
From time to time, someone greeted Woz, probably curious about such a small child running out alone at this time.
But...... I don't understand it at all! Woz walked down the street, always feeling like he was being watched, and he was very embarrassed. After wandering around in a daze, he fled.
The language barrier is not a big problem, I think he Woz used to be a spell master, and even the higher dimensions, the language and writing exclusive to "God" can be learned and mastered, what is this mere human foreign language? Just give him a little time...... Wait, what is a spellmaster? Wasn't I a writer in my previous life, and what kind of setting do I have! Woz frowned and pondered for a while, but in the end he still found nothing, so he blamed the side effects of "crossing over".
After all, he probably didn't have much time to waste thinking about these useless things, his body was too fragile, and thanks to Lululuya's care these days, he didn't freeze to death and starve to death, but after working hard and running around in the ice and snow for nearly a week, Woz's physical condition was not much better. It was freezing cold, and even finding a warm nest to sleep in was a luxury, and Woz felt like he was overdrawing the vitality of his young body.
Sitting in the middle of nowhere, Woz opened his book again with a sense of emotion, and found that there was another part of it in it. Although this book is not a guide to another world, it will always provide him with the necessary information in a very immediate manner. This time is no exception, dozens of pages of new content have appeared, most of which are strange and unfamiliar symbols, and it can be seen through the corresponding Chinese character translation below that these symbols are the characters of this world.
Roughly scanning these symbols, Wolds immediately determined that this is a phonetic text symbol, unlike hieroglyphs like Chinese characters that have ideographic functions. Theoretically, this kind of writing is not difficult to learn, but in the end it is the repetition of dozens of letter symbols.
Wadsz flipped through this "textbook" a few times, and he already had a preliminary grasp of its meaning. It's amazingly fast to learn, but when you think that there is magic in this world, what else is impossible? and learning fast is something that Woz can't ask for.
"Alright, the goods you asked for have been delivered, thank you for your patronage!" After the customer closed the door, Leonor smiled and ticked the list in her hand, and then pulled the cart full of goods and continued to walk forward.
"Lalala, a bumper harvest after the snow!"
In the days when the snow closed the mountains, not only the residents of the mountains, but also the residents of Xueguo Town rarely went out, and now that the snow has cleared, it is time to buy daily necessities on a large scale.
Her No. 9 shop is a well-known food store in the town, and after every heavy snowfall, Leonor will deliver all the way to the town's residents with limited mobility, and she has already surrounded half of the town in her sales area. It was through this approach that Leonor's Shop Nine became the most popular among the residents.
Before she knew it, she had reached the end of the town, and the cold wind blowing through the suburbs made her shiver, and she looked back at the empty van and smiled contentedly.
Just as Leonor was about to turn around, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw a child sitting on the side of the road, motionless and motionless, which made Leonor think that it was a sculpture, and her body was covered with snow slag that had been swept up by the wind.
"Are you alright?, kid!" Leonor was shocked, "you won't be frozen to death, will you?"
She dropped the cart and ran up, patting the snow off Woz's head and body. And kept slapping his face, and the tentacles were cold.
"Quick, wake up, don't fall asleep!"
Immersed in learning a new language, Wox was awakened by the sudden appearance of a strange woman, and then he felt his body numb, and he was already frozen unconsciously.
Seeing the little black-haired boy raise his eyes and look at him, Leonor was taken aback: "You, are you okay? I didn't mean to hit you, it's dangerous for you to stay here like this!"
Woz's face was full of confusion, and he watched as the woman's mouth kept opening and closing, bursting out a large number of inexplicable syllables. Although Wodds was already learning a new language, he could still write and not read, after all, a book alone could not teach him to read.
Woz stared at the other man's face and mouth shape, seeing that Leonor was a little hairy, and continued to babble.
"Hey, hey, are you okay? Can you speak? What's your name? Why are you alone here? What ?......about your parents?"
Worz spoke suddenly: "Woz? Frenner." ”
"What?" Leonor was stunned for a moment when she heard the boy spit out a few awkward syllables.
"Name, Wozfrenner. Wotz stammered.
Although the pronunciation is a little awkward, it is indeed a language that can be understood.
Leonor's spirits perked up and she continued, "Woz, why are you here alone, and your family?"
The complex syllable changes made Wolds unable to understand again, and the pronunciation of "name" that had just been parsed from a large list of languages was already his limit.
Looking at the boy who was in a mess, Leonor smiled apologetically, feeling that she had asked too many questions at once, such a young child could understand, and knew that his name was already the limit, right?
But then, I saw Wolz brush the snow off his knees, revealing a large book, and wrote: "My name is Woz, I come from the mountains, I have no relatives, and I need a job." ”
Compared with the weakness of language, Woz is extremely talented in "writing".
Leonor watched speechlessly as Woz turned the book in front of her, a little confused, what did this mean? Obviously able to speak, not dumb, and writing so quickly, why choose such a troublesome way of communication?
Then I saw Woz write a line of words directly backwards: "I can't understand what is said for the time being, can I communicate with writing?" Although it is written backwards, the words still flow out of the tip of the pen very smoothly, which is very pleasing to the eye.
I don't understand it, but I can write it? What a strange reason!
"Doesn't it all when children learn to speak and then learn to write, why would you do the other way around?" complained Leonor. But it can only be exchanged for Woz's innocent look of bewilderment.
Convinced that the boy was not playing tricks on himself, Leonor had to take the pen and write down what she had to say.
"It's the first time I've talked to someone, so please forgive me......"
Leonor was stunned for a moment, only to notice that Wodds had just written "from the mountains, no relatives", her expression suddenly softened, and she said infinitely gently: "Is it an orphan......?
"What?" Wadsz wrote.
"You say you're looking for a job?" wrote Leonor, "what can you do? Don't force yourself too much, why don't you come with me first, and I'll take care of you......," the shopkeeper had a pair of starry eyes, she liked cute children, and often helped her neighbors take care of them. And compared to the other bear children, the one in front of him is obviously a lot more sensible, and he doesn't need to be bothered by others at all, he is simply the perfect adoption!
In a short period of contact, Leonor also discovered that the boy named Wox had a unique temperament, as if he could form an atmosphere that made her feel comfortable and reassuring, so she made the decision to adopt and care for him.
This reassuring aura was something that Leonor had only experienced in her only best friend, Uru. The biggest difference between Uru and the rest of Leonor's friends is that Uru is a magician, and he's the best of the best!
Woz stomped his frozen feet to his feet, and then he saw the list Leonor clutched in his hand at a glance, and Woz felt a chill in his eyes even though it was already cold. Then, everything on that list was completely memorized and clear!
Before he had time to think about it, Woz had already understood what was on the list.
"Shop Nine, the owner of the food store, is making deliveries. Woz quickly grasped the key words and had a plan in mind.
"I can help you with the list of accounts," he wrote, "and I can do the transcribing of the papers." ”
Wads thought for a moment and wrote, "I'll be able to learn to speak very quickly, so I can take care of the storefront and serve customers." ”
Woltz directly gave the maximum scope of work, and he himself thought it was normal, because his mental age was still an adult, and it was normal to exchange work for pay or something.
But for Leonor, it would be a bit too frustrating to have a child of a few years old work. Looking at Wads' serious face, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Okay, okay. Just be my little secretary. But you don't need to work on entertaining guests. In order to take care of the pride of this lovely child, Leonor smiled and agreed to give him a job, as for the job at the front desk, otherwise everyone in the town would say that he used child labor and abused children.
However, Leonor still had some expectations in her heart, and she also saw that Wox was a little too smart, he was not a child, and if he was ten years older, it would barely be reasonable.
But well...... For an existence that may be a magician, no matter how incredible things can happen, this is the biggest feeling she has had since she got along with Uru.
In this way, Woz entered Leonor's Shop Nine and finally established himself in this new world.
