Chapter 14: Trapped Tone
I groped down the mountain road, and after half an hour, I saw the scattered smoke curling up.
Looking at the scattered houses, Zihao gritted his teeth and walked away.
His current body is only the size of a four- or five-year-old child after all, and even if he has the divine power of the gods who can carry the peak, he is already a little physically exhausted after walking the mountain road under the scorching sun for so long.
Just to understand the current situation as soon as possible so that he could make plans for the future, he had to rush to the village as soon as possible.
"Goo-goo...... Goo ......"
The sound of hunger sounded, and he began to protest alone, which made Zihao slow down.
It's different from when you're in a space-time gap.
In the gap of time and space, there is the Xuanniao Origin to provide nourishment, blocking and maintaining his life origin, and there is no need to eat at all.
But now that he has come out of the gap in time and space, he naturally has to follow the laws of ordinary people's lives, and he needs to supplement nutrition to cope with the consumption of all activities.
Especially because of his extraordinary talent, he needs much more nutrients than the average person.
That's why he slowed down, to lower or rather protest from his body.
It took about a cup of tea, and the hungry Zihao finally arrived at the village sweating profusely.
Zihao had just walked into the village when several local dogs raised by people near the entrance of the village noticed it.
"Wang ...... Woo ......"
Smelling the breath of the living, these faithful housekeepers immediately barked wildly, and some even ran out of smoke, staring at Zihao with fierce faces, looking like they were about to pounce, and roared in a low voice to issue their own warnings.
Zihao's heart was raised violently, and he stared at these dogs with some fear.
These dogs are not the pet dogs that were regarded as masters before the crossing, but they are likely to be hunting dogs that can fight tigers and wolves.
Rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat the water.
Although the nearby mountains are small, it does not mean that there is no prey, and it is still possible for those hunters who go up to the mountains to hunt have a few hunting dogs.
And these hunting dogs, perennial follow the hunter to the mountain to hunt, most of them have not weak combat power, at least the average adult can only run away from the wind, and a few have rich experience, help the owner hunt the tiger wolf hunting dogs, and even have the combat power to fight with the tiger wolf.
Compared with the hounds, those pet dogs before the crossing can basically be regarded as "war scum".
Although he knew that with his talent, he should be able to deal with these dogs, but he couldn't guarantee that he would not lack arms and legs after he solved these dogs.
What's more, he didn't come here to solve the dogs, but to investigate the situation, and by the way, to see if he could meet a kind person who gave him a little food, there was no need to meet a group of dogs, not to mention that he didn't want to let his body lack objects because of such unnecessary things.
So the best way for him to deal with this is to stand quietly in place and wait for the arrival of the dog owner in a posture that does not cause these dogs to attack.
I believe that when the dog owner arrives, he will restrain these dogs after seeing the harmless image of other animals.
"What's wrong, what's wrong? What's wrong? Big Black: What's going on? Why did you run out all at once? Isn't it a thief? ”
As a woman's voice rang out, a rugged man's voice followed.
"It's okay, son, you just stay in the house, I'll take a look."
As the words fell, a simple and honest young man walked out of the door with a hoe on his shoulder.
What catches the eye is the scene of Zihao, who is like a beggar, surrounded by dogs.
Looking at this cute child who was four or five years old and was blocked by the dogs, the young man suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the hoe he was holding in his hand couldn't help but loosen.
"Go, go, go...... Da Hei, give me back, Da Hei, you go back for me too. ”
The young man dispersed the hounds, looked at Zihao with a dignified face and asked, "Little guy, what is your name, where did you come from?" What's the matter with coming to our village? What about your family? Isn't it lost? ”
After speaking, he yelled into the house: "Damn it, it's okay, it's a child, maybe he got lost with his family." ”
After speaking, he looked at Zihao with a distressed face, waiting for his answer.
The young man's words were very soft, but Zihao looked confused.
Because he doesn't understand at all.
He could not understand a word of the young man's words, nor the conversation he had had with his wife in the house before.
I only vaguely understand a few words in the words, but it doesn't work.
He really couldn't figure it out, although he didn't know the language of this world, why couldn't he understand the language he could understand now?
Originally, he planned to pretend to be a mute, nodding his head and shaking his head and making blind gestures, to find a kind person to send him to the administrative agency of the world, or to be adopted, and slowly inquire about the current situation.
The results are now ......
Thinking of the current situation, Zihao closed his mouth very firmly, looked at the young man with a puzzled expression, and put on a look of "I don't understand what you say".
However, judging from the young man's clothes and hair bun, he is very sure that it is ancient times, and if the history of this world is according to the history before he traveled, then the current age must be before the Qing Dynasty.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, and with his talent for memorization, he quickly found an article in his head that he had read before crossing over, and got the answer to why he couldn't understand it.
The language may not change over time, but the phonetics do, and various dialects are formed as dynasties evolve.
He traveled through the previous world, and divided the phonetic evolution that had been studied into four stages, namely ancient sound, middle sound, near ancient sound and modern sound.
Ancient pronunciation refers to the pronunciation of the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, represented by the phonology of the Book of Songs.
Middle Ages refers to the pronunciation from the Six Dynasties to the Tang and Song dynasties, represented by the "Cut Rhyme" phonology.
The ancient sound refers to the phonetics of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, represented by the "Central Plains Rhyme".
Modern pronunciation refers to modern pronunciation, represented by the modern Mandarin phonology.
The two adjacent stages of speech can barely be understood by the retracement, but if it is one stage each, then the average person will definitely not be able to understand it.
So when he read novels for a while, he felt particularly awkward about those who traveled to ancient times, did not accept the memories of the original owner, and could still have conversations with others very smoothly.
Presumably, the world should be the same, after the evolution of time, speech has also changed.
As for his ability to understand when he first crossed, he didn't know.
What Zi Hao didn't know was that the language he heard when he traveled through could be called an ancient sound, a language that could resonate with the spirit.
When he was still a tribe, many tribes had their own unique language, and this ancient sound, combined with some special movements, could communicate with other tribes with different sounds, so he could understand it.
However, because this kind of speech and spiritual resonance will make the speaker more likely to get tired when speaking, it has been gradually abandoned when Zhou Gongdan was in power.
