Chapter 419: The Primitive Man Who Can Speak Cantonese
Even in the Lingnan jungle in October, there is still a heat underground, and all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are sweating, after all, they are wearing several pounds of armor, especially in this tense situation now, the flow of blood will be accelerated, and the sweating will be more.
Zhu Yunwen is not afraid of bloodshed, because many of his soldiers have died, and the group of strangely dressed people in front of him are already dead in Zhu Yunwen's eyes, but he wants to tap their use value before they die, that is, to take his troops out of this jungle.
Hu Ye felt much more relaxed, because he never wore armor, he was dressed in linen clothes, and silk always made him uncomfortable wearing it on his body.
Moreover, the linen cloth is breathable, and when the wind blows, it feels cold.
But at this time, he couldn't be cool, because there were hundreds of people in front of him, looking at Zhu Yunwen's army with nervous expressions, although they didn't know where these soldiers came from, but from the eyes of these soldiers, they could see the murderous aura.
Zhu Yunwen strode to the front of the village, originally he wanted to ride a horse, but he felt that on this kind of road, riding a horse was not comfortable walking.
Yun Zichen wanted to stop Zhu Yunwen, but the situation had not been clarified at this time, how could he let Zhu Yunwen go.
"Who are you?"
Zhu Yunwen rejected Yun Zichen's offer, and his soldiers died tragically in the traps of these people, and it was necessary for him to avenge his soldiers.
Yun Zichen saw that the dissuasion was ineffective, so he had to use his body to block in front of Zhu Yunwen, although the weapons of these weirdos were not very good, but they had to be precautionary.
The group of natives raised the sticks and hammers in their hands one after another, looking nervously at Zhu Yunwen and the soldiers around them, they also knew that the comer was not good.
Then a person came out of the group of people, and he chattered at Zhu Yunwen for a while, but Zhu Yunwen couldn't understand a word.
Zhu Yunwen asked anyone in the army who could understand. But these soldiers were all transferred from Nanjing, where will the language of this place be moved.
As a result, the native was chattering again, and made gestures, looking very fierce.
As soon as this native was fierce, Yun Zichen became nervous, because Zhu Yunwen was too close to that native, and if the native, he would only have to take emergency measures.
As a result, the native obviously didn't understand Yun Zichen's warning, and continued to step forward fiercely, of course Yun Zichen stabbed him with a sword. The natives don't dodge either. The chest was directly pierced by Yun Zichen, and blood suddenly came out.
This scene completely caused a riot, and the remaining natives held their weapons tightly one after another, and some of the little dolls picked up the stones under their feet and threw them at the surrounding soldiers, smashing them on the iron armor with a clanging sound.
The surrounding Ming soldiers had not yet resisted, as they were waiting for the commander's order.
Zhu Yunwen really wanted to give an explanation to his soldiers. But he wanted to get out of this jungle even more, and the natives just now didn't flash much, and it seemed that there was no malicious intent, maybe Yun Zichen was too cautious.
Even if it's to kill them. You'll have to wait until you're out of the jungle.
"Don't do it yet." Zhu Yunwen said loudly, and then continued to shout to the group of natives, "Which of you can understand what I say, stand up for me!" ā
But the result was very disappointing to Zhu Yunwen. No one stood up, they all looked at Zhu Yunwen and the army nervously.
At this time, Zhu Yunwen naturally thought of Hu Ye, who had a lot of ghost ideas. Hurriedly called Hu Ye over.
Hu Ye was very helpless to come to Zhu Yunwen, he didn't want to deal with this kind of primitive tribe, I heard that cannibalism is a common thing.
"Is there any way you can communicate with them?" Zhu Yunwen asked Hu Ye in a low voice.
Hu Ye also wanted to get out of this jungle, so he had to reluctantly try.
This place should be in the east of Zhangzhou, in the 21st century, it should be in the low level of Meizhou City, this place is the territory of Hakka, the most terrible thing is that there are too many Hakka, sometimes even a village speaks two languages, and they can't understand each other, how can this be communicated?
And Hu Ye didn't know any Hakka, so he had to shout his hometown dialect again, and as a result, those natives looked at Hu Ye like idiots.
Thinking that it should belong to the Chaozhou Mansion now, maybe they can understand some Chaoshan dialect, so Hu Ye had to say a few Chaoshan dialects that he only knew, but there was still no response.
I have no choice but to speak Cantonese, which is under the jurisdiction of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division, so maybe they will have a little bit.
To Hu Ye's surprise, when he asked where this was in Cantonese, a very old man finally came out and said in jerky Cantonese, "This is Zhenping County." ā
Finally having a common language, Hu Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, although he didn't know too much Cantonese, and the Cantonese of the 21st century was also very different from the ancient Cantonese, and this old man's Cantonese was also tongue-twisting, it seems that there are not many of them, but this is enough, as long as there is a common language, everything can be done.
Zhu Yunwen also breathed a sigh of relief, although he couldn't understand what Hu Ye was saying to the old man, but as long as he could communicate and take them out of this jungle, it would be good.
"Your Highness, this old man said that this should be Zhenping County, and it seems that we have just entered the Chaozhou Mansion." Hu Ye said to Zhu Yunwen with a hint of excitement.
"Zhenping County?"
Zhu Yunwen took out the military map after hearing this, and looked for it on the map for a long time, but he didn't find the location of Zhenping County on it, after all, the military map is not particularly comprehensive, and he didn't bother to mark such a dispensable place, who would come to this kind of place to fight? Even if it was the Yue Kingdom during the Warring States Period, it would not fight with others in such a place.
"You ask them how they got out of this jungle." After putting away the map, Zhu Yunwen was not discouraged, as long as he could get out of the jungle, everything would be easy to do, and he didn't bother to care if he was Zhenping County or Raoping County.
Hu Ye's face changed, this Zhu Yunwen didn't mention the trap at all now, it didn't mean that he had forgotten about it, and Hu Ye could see the hatred in his eyes, because when Zhu Yunwen looked at these people, he didn't look at people at all, but at a group of dead corpses, which was no different from looking at the Japanese on Penghu Island.
Therefore, if Hu Ye can meet these people, whether they will take Zhu Yunwen's army out of the jungle or not, they will be greeted with death.
Thinking of this, Hu Ye's heart was a little heavy, these were not Mongols, nor were they Japanese invaders, but Ming Dynasty people living in the land of the Ming Dynasty.
Hu Ye never thought that Zhu Yunwen would be such a person, and the history books turned out to be fake.
"What's wrong? Don't you know these words? Zhu Yunwen saw that Hu Ye was stunned for a long time, so he asked curiously.
Hu Ye raised his head and said with a smile, "No, no, it's just that I'm a little unfamiliar with this language, and I'm thinking about how to ask." ā
The old man replied that if he wanted to get out of this jungle, he would have to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads before he could reach an official road.
After Hu Ye translated the old man's words to Zhu Yunwen, the old man asked the villagers to put away all their weapons, indicating that he had no malicious intent.
"Let him show us the way, let's go now!"
Zhu Yunwen heard that there were still dozens of miles to go, so he frowned and looked at the sky, it was almost noon now, if there was a guide, if the speed was faster, maybe he could get out of this jungle before the sun set.
After Hu Ye asked in Cantonese for a long time, the old man calmed down, saying that this jungle and mountain road were rugged, and he couldn't go out in an afternoon, so let Zhu Yunwen and them stay and rest for a night, and wait for him to lead the way out tomorrow.
Hu Ye's eyebrows raised slightly, guessing the intentions of this old man, shouldn't this thing be unaware of the killing intent of this group of soldiers, and still want to leave these people for the night? Aren't you afraid of slaughtering the village? Or maybe this guy wants to take advantage of the night?
Zhu Yunwen also has to consider the consequences of staying, he originally wanted to take away a guide and slaughter this place, but if he stays, he will have to wait until tomorrow to do it, in this way, tonight will be restless, and he must always be vigilant against these natives.
"Your Highness, the old man is right, the mountain road here is rugged, maybe we can go out on the flat road, but here are dozens of kilometers, I'm afraid we can't get out today." Yun Zichen also gave Zhu Yunwen a yƬ, if he couldn't go out after dark, he would have to sleep in the wild.
These days, Zhu Yunwen is suffering from it, although his body is coated with juice, there are still dozens of mosquitoes buzzing in his ears every day, and he is annoyed to death.
It would be nice to be able to spend the night in this village, but you have to worry about whether these natives will be secretly stumbling.
The old man chattered for a while, and Hu Ye knew that the reason why this old man could speak Cantonese was because he was the wise man of this village, that is, the level of a wizard, and the whole village had to listen to him.
And this place is also under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty government, but it is too remote and no officials have been sent to manage it, so the government entrusted him, a wise man, to manage, and only need to go to Guangzhou Mansion every year to report and report the situation, so this old man will have a little jerky Cantonese.
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen shook his head and smiled, he was not even afraid of hundreds of Japanese robbers, but he would be afraid of this group of natives who didn't even have iron weapons? Isn't it just a one-night stay, we still want to get a good night's sleep?
So Zhu Yunwen asked all the soldiers to camp along the village, surrounded the village, and did not allow anyone to go out, and then took a dozen personal guards to live in the village. (To be continued......)
