Gallic (2)
The ancient Romans collectively referred to the Celts who lived in present-day Frankish, Belgian, northern Italy, southern Holland, western Switzerland, and southern Germany on the west bank of the Rhine as the Gauls.
Although the Franks had conquered the land hundreds of years earlier and officially insisted on calling it the Kingdom of the Franks, the name of Gaul was abolished, but the people of the Song Dynasty in the Central Plains still called them Gauls.
Calm often made such mistakes when he first arrived here, but fortunately, the other party just smiled and didn't mind calming, and it took a long time to quit this habit.
Because the area here is less than one-third of the Great Song Dynasty, but the roads are short and numerous, so the first day here calm and lost, let alone find that little-known small village here.
For the past few days, she stayed in the town where she had first arrived, but because of the language barrier, she was only one person in the house.
I haven't met anyone else.
Leaving her familiar environment and coming to a completely unfamiliar land, she felt very uncomfortable calmly, without familiar people to accompany her, and she couldn't understand what the people around her were saying, which made her have little interest in the new life in Gaul at the beginning.
During this time, she has been hiding alone in a place where no one is visible, and she can't see the sun, but the sun here is vicious, so she can only close the curtains in the hotel and lie on the bed alone staring at the ceiling in a daze.
In this case, she did not have anything to attract her attention, so she was ignorant of the turmoil that was taking place in the city, because she was dissatisfied with the oppression of the slave owners, a group of slaves united to rebel, although they had been controlled by the officers and soldiers who had arrived, but it still caused a lot of commotion here, but Calm did not know this.
So when it was completely dark and she went out, she was surprised by the sight of someone cleaning the ground red with the blood of slaves.
Because of her calm black hair and yellow skin, this special appearance made everyone else can't help but want to look at her a few more times, but her cold and ruthless face made everyone look away in a hurry.
Calm took advantage of the darkness to quickly inquire about the specific location of the village, but because of the language barrier, he didn't have any clues at all, so he had to look for it himself.
The dawn here is also a long time later than Nakahara, so it buys her more time to search.
However, Calm did not find the exact location of the village, but he did find other bloodies in the city, and those vampires walked among the crowd, but only at night.
And if they live here, it is actually more difficult than in other places, because in most parts of Europe, there are legends about vampires, and they are also regarded as enemies of Christians, and Christians rule almost all of Europe, so they have always regarded vampires as enemies, although they are not able to defeat them with their own hands, but there are missionaries among them, and there are many people among those missionaries who can balance them, so once the true identity is discovered by humans, Vampires will definitely be caught, either put to death or used to make the so-called immortality, so it is actually very difficult to live here.
And in this case, they are still unwilling to leave this long land lightly, after all, they have lived here for many years, and there are their families here, although the family thinks they are dead, but as long as they can see them from a distance, they are already very satisfied.
One of them felt the calm gaze and also turned to look at her, but he was sure that the calm did not seem to be aware of their identity, so the tension in his heart was removed, but for safety reasons, he and his companions hurriedly left here.
"You...... Are you from Sui? ”
This was a voice behind Calm, and Calm looked back to find that it was an elderly woman, she looked at Calm on crutches, "It's so late now, if the girl has nowhere to go, why don't you go with me, although my value is a small thatched house, but because we are people of a country, staying together can be regarded as taking care of each other, and we can talk and chat at night, so if the girl doesn't dislike me as an old woman, just accompany me to leave here." Recently, the security in this town has not been very good, and I have heard that children and young girls are often taken away and end up in the streets. It's like being sucked dry by a vampire, and the appearance is terrible. ”
After saying so much, the old woman didn't wait to calm down and walked forward slowly.
Calm down, don't chase after him, "Mother-in-law is also from the Central Plains?" ”
"yes."
The old woman looked at the calmness that came up and laughed, "I haven't heard that word in the Central Plains for a long time, and I don't know how the people of Sui are now, whether they are still living in dire straits." ”
"No, the Sui and Tang dynasties have perished, and now it is the world of the Great Song Dynasty."
Calmly thought about it.
Although he said that he wanted to forget the past, after all, it was the hometown where she was born and raised for ten years, so how could he not miss it at all.
"Really? It's really 'I don't know that there is a Han, regardless of Wei and Jin. Although this place is much inferior to Mr. Tao Qian's Peach Blossom Garden, it is at least comfortable. ”
The old woman nodded and went on.
"Here we go, let's go inside."
The old woman pointed to her thatched house, but there was such a Chinese-style building in such a town, which was also very conspicuous, but there was no one around, and only the light in front of the house opposite the old woman was still on.
And at this moment, a man came out of the opposite room, and he came here with a bowl of rice in his hand, "Old woman, I have brought you food again." ”
As he spoke, he entered the house, but he did not notice the calmness that was already in the house.
And just as she was about to leave after putting down her meal, she realized that there was another person in the thatched hut, and when she lit the other person's face with a block, she let out a surprised cry, "It's you!" ”
Calm had already discovered that this person was the man he had met on the road before, and the vampires around him were more or less injured, but he was the only one who was unharmed.
However, before determining whether the other party is friend or foe, calm down and do not plan to take the initiative to say hello to him.
