Chapter 9 Language Barriers
The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. Walking through the streets of the city again, Cha Cha suddenly realized a very serious problem.
As far as the world is concerned, she is definitely illiterate. The plaque of the shop was painted with all kinds of strange symbols, and she didn't recognize a single word.
In the morning, he was still complacent about making such a magnificent masterpiece as a beast soul for himself, but now he was drooping his head like a lost puppy, and his eyes were getting darker and darker.
I bought wine because I smelled it. And now she wants to find an auction house, but she doesn't know if there is really such a business in the other world where she lives. If so, what should it be called in this world. She needed to ask someone to find out, but she didn't know how.
"Let's let the sand sculpture collect the vocabulary first." Xue proposed, "I'll go talk to someone." If you feel awkward, just walk around by yourself and meet at the gate of the city you came from in the evening. ”
"That's the only way to go." Cha Cha handed the package containing the star cha to Ah Xue. When Ah Xue chatted with people, Cha Cha was also in a state of confusion that she didn't know. Ah Xue didn't play normally.
"Let's meet at noon." Ah Xue said. Xingcha is too heavy, and I'm afraid she won't last long.
Cha Cha asked Ah Xue for pocket money and went to hang out on her own. Ah Xue went east, she went west, and returned the same way when it was almost noon. The most obvious sign here is the volley's compound road, which is high and long, and can be seen from afar, even if you can't remember the direction, you can look at it at noon and find it back.
The smell of food wafted along the way, and many people on the street sold food.
Although Cha Cha drank porridge when he went out, he almost digested it on the way here. It's not because there is too little rice, but Cha Cha is deliberately losing weight.
However, the more you try to reduce it, the more your body will not listen to you. Cha Cha stood in front of a kind old woman, her body stiffened and she couldn't take her eyes off, as if she had been hooked. When she came to her senses, she had a pot-sized pot helmet in her hand. When you bite into it, it is crispy and sweet, and the taste of maltose overflows the tip of your lips, teeth and tongue, and the feeling of happiness spreads throughout your body.
It is impossible to lose weight by losing weight, it is impossible to lose weight in this life. It's the same even if it's a different world.
There was a commotion in my ears, and there were many people in front of me.
Breaking through the crowd and squeezing in, it turned out that someone was grilling meat skewers on a straight iron plate. The bright red meat skewers flipped over the iron plate, and the portions were very large, and they were full of handfuls. The unknown ingredients were sprinkled on the barbecue, and the sound of stabbing and pulling was very tempting, and Cha Cha swallowed his saliva and wanted to try the ancient teppanyaki. It's better to save a little bit of money in your pocket. Wait until the amber is sold, and then eat it with Ah Xue.
Cha Cha nibbled on the pot helmet and walked on the street randomly, his eyes wandering around.
People came and went on the streets, and if we looked closely, we found that most of the people on the streets were women and children, and the proportion of men was much smaller. Probably either on the way to war, or in the middle of a war. Or it has already been canceled by the previous war. Even a large city with a population of 50,000 can hardly hide the traces of war, no matter how peaceful it is and prosperous.
Luckily, it only stayed for three months.
Cha Cha was immersed in his thoughts, and the more he went, the more he went away.
Someone is playing chess under an old locust tree on the corner of the street, black and white, and Cha Cha stops to concentrate.
When you get to the middle game, you can't see the order. The black chess pieces are thick, and the four swimming dragons are rolling and churning, rushing left and right.
White chess calmly, in the gap, left and right to do a clever job. The flames of war are raging on all sides, and they are continuous. After a fierce fight, White slaughtered the dragon.
The outcome has been decided, and the robbery has been carried out in turn, and the ending is perfect. Cha Cha looked up at the sky with satisfaction, only to find that the sun had risen in the middle.
Cha Cha hurried back.
The streets and alleys shuttle back and forth, the surrounding buildings seem to be copied and pasted, and Cha Cha really can't remember the way back. The long road stood proudly in the air, and Cha Cha ran straight over.
I didn't see Ah Xue, and there were two people standing on the road. One of them is undoubtedly a stunning beauty. And the other, Cha Cha saw the big jade pendant hanging from his waist. It's the son that Ah Xue bumped into before.
Probably rich people like to stand on high places. Cha Cha also wants to climb up and overlook this beautiful city. The beauty is on the side, and maybe she can sell her amber to the child. It's a pity that I didn't find the entrance after turning around for a long time, so I had to give up.
The sun tilted at an angle to the west, and the road was already empty, and Ah Xue had not yet come. Cha Cha's stomach growled with hunger. Anyway, climb up and take a look.
The spring sticks out from the soles of her feet, and Cha Cha instinctively jumps onto the double road. took out the monoculars and looked for Ah Xue's figure.
Many inverted shadows jumped into the eyes, and pedestrians seemed to be walking in the sky. This makes it more difficult to find Chacha. The red jacket and skirt that Xue is wearing today. Damn, why do so many people on the street like to wear red? Yes, because of the war, most of the rest are women. It's normal for everyone to like bright colors.
"Who is making this time?" A rough mine voice was born. Cha Cha shuddered with fright, one was unstable, and the telescope fell out of the palm of his hand. Cha Cha hurriedly reached out to grab it, but was roughly pushed. I watched as the telescope flew over the railing of the compound path, rolled in the air several times and then fell to the ground with a "pop" and shattered into several pieces.
"You pay me for the telescope!" Cha Cha rushed over like crazy, trying to find the culprit theory that caused her to lose her baby. Before he touched the corner of the other party's clothes, he was pressed to the ground by several people. Face to face.
I didn't have time to scream, and I was tied up and bound my hands and feet.
The tall figures around him were talking fiercely. Cha Cha's ears were buzzing, and he couldn't really hear it at all. Angry and anxious, struggling to get up, he was pushed back to the ground with a "plop" and couldn't move.
The debris on the floor pierced her skin, her face ached so badly that she finally remembered that she had jumped on the back road. This is a crowded street, not a deserted forest. Stepping on the building, rising from the ground, eighty percent is regarded as a suspicious thief.
The group was dressed in rattan armor. Cha Cha felt that she was more likely to be regarded as a spy. Fortunately, the telescope was broken, otherwise it would have been even more intelligible.
There was a sudden silence around, and there was a vibration at one end of the road. Cha Cha was lifted up.
The person who came seemed to be very large, wearing a military crown, dressed in robes, with a gloomy expression, a dark face, and a pair of gloomy eyes under the raised eyebrows. Hands came over, and everyone around them gasped.
"Master Hou." The leader stepped forward and saluted.
The visitor didn't pay attention, he reprimanded a few words in a low voice, and then turned to Cha Cha.
Cha Cha opened her mouth, trying to say something. A few words of Klingon came out of my head. She couldn't say anything. The tongue began to knot, and the language barrier was like a chasm that could not be crossed. Good death does not die social fear attack, Chacha has a splitting headache.
In this way, there was a stalemate, and another person came up at the end of the road, with a pointed chin, a fox face, and a silk painting in his hand.
The portrait is somewhat similar to Chacha. There are many words densely written on the bottom of the portrait. His hands were presented to the military attache in robes, and he stepped forward and whispered something in his ear. Hou Ye's furrowed eyebrows gradually spread out, and a meaningful smile appeared on the faces of the two. It makes people's hairs stand on end.
"Hold on."
Cha Cha finally understood, but she also understood that she was being treated as a wanted criminal.
What happens when you become Wanted?
Was he dragged by a prisoner cart to parade through the streets, beheaded by an executioner on the street, or executed by a group of bored spectators?
Cha Cha didn't dare to think about it.
Fear erupted from the bottom of her heart, the desire to survive began to dominate her instincts, and the shoes on the soles of her feet produced some kind of strong and indescribable change. The pain stimulated Cha Cha's nerves, allowing some wild power to burst out of her body.
She resisted violently, the rope snapped off, and her body resembled that of a swimming dragon, swaying away from her prey.
Some people were kicked away by her, and some people were broken by her. Any creatures that tried to stop her were repelled one by one.
It didn't last long. Cha Cha Xin said. "Teng" jumped over the railing of the compound road, jumped to the roof diagonally opposite, and quickly ran out of the city by stepping on the green tile cornice. You have to escape first, and then look for Ah Xue again.
"Whoosh". A feathered arrow pierces the leg bone. Cha Cha fell from mid-air, fell hard to the ground, and fainted.
