Chapter Twenty-Three: Have You Eaten?
There was no time before, and a few minutes after Dong Chen woke up, Lombal appeared, interrupting him to check the indoor environment.
Now that Lombal is gone, and Dong Chen is in good spirits, Tianshu can't hear other people's voices, and he can't continue to translate the comparison of words and actions, so he finally has time to check this room openly.
Dong Chen first checked his backpack, the contents were not reduced, and no other people's fingerprints were found on the items, which made Dong Chen's impression of this barbarian tribe improve by another point.
Judging from the situation when I went out for a walk just now, the people of this tribe have come into contact with humans who are similar to themselves, and the relationship between the two sides should be good, otherwise they would not have picked them up.
On the other hand, when I saw the elder of that tribe just now, looking at his white hair and Lombal's respectful attitude, he should not be the leader of the tribe, but more like a great patriarch, a great elder, a great shaman, and so on.
However, Lombal did not take himself to see the leader, but to meet this one, probably because this tribe does not have the position of leader, or the elder is a part-time leader, anyway, the barbarian elder should be a very important person in this tribe, and many decisions are in his hands.
Moreover, Dong Chen also caught a glimpse of the other party actually having a bookshelf and desk, with a lot of books on it.
Books, which are good things, represent knowledge.
And the fact that knowledge can be transmitted to such primitive tribes in the form of books illustrates two possibilities.
One is that this world attaches great importance to the spread of knowledge, so even primitive tribes have books.
The second is that this tribe should not be far from large cities, which is why there are so many books here.
Combined with the fact that the people here have seen humans similar to himself, Dong Chen feels that the second possibility is a little more likely, they should communicate with the outside world from time to time.
To be honest, Dong Chen wanted to read those books, but he thought that he couldn't even speak, let alone read and write, so he gave up.
And I don't know people at all, why should people let me read.
"Alas," Dong Chen sighed and said, "Let's learn to speak first, learn to speak, only then can I communicate with the people here and understand the situation here." ”
After thinking about the old man's desk for a while, and then looking at the messy table in front of him, Dong Chen shook his head and said, "This is too messy." ”
However, I picked up a piece of wood on it and looked at it, and found that there were knife marks on it, which felt like it had been carved, and then I looked at the table, and there were indeed a few scattered simple tool knives.
Looking at the piece of wood again, Dong Chen suddenly found that it was very familiar, "This style and carving technique seem to be very similar to the piece of wood carving we found on the beach." What do you think? Book from the sky. ”
Hearing this, Tianshu did an analysis of the piece of wood in front of him, and then said, "Yes, sir, after trace identification, these two inferior wood carvings should have been made by one person. ”
"According to the analysis of the existing conditions, it should be Mr. Lombard of this barbarian."
"That's right," Dong Chen took out the piece of wood carving he picked up from his backpack again, and then compared it with this one, and it felt like it was really the same, although this new piece was a more unfinished work, but it could be seen at a glance that it was carved by a person.
"I didn't expect Lombal to save me to be an artist, so the one he wanted to carve should be a barbarian, but he doesn't seem to have any artistic cells."
Dong Chen took the statue and pondered, "It just so happens that I have this technique, do you want to teach him, it's close to him." ”
"Lombal is a barbarian I've met after all, and he's the one who picked me up from the wilderness, so I feel pretty easy to get along with."
"What about your opinion, Book of Heaven?"
"Sir, it is recommended that you first improve the language translation system of the barbarians, and learn the language of the barbarians, so that you can communicate better with the other party." Tianshu suggested.
"That's right, pertinent advice," Dong Chen glanced around the room a few more times, but didn't find anything noteworthy, and then walked out of the room again.
Lombal didn't close the door when he left, which means that he was not grounded, although I don't know if I can walk around the tribe, but I feel that it is okay to wander around Lombard's house.
Lombal's room was close to the tree trunk wall, but it wasn't next to each other, there were others closer than him, Dong Chen turned around.
Let Tianshu open the collection and analysis system throughout the whole process, and he turned around the Lombal house in the face of the curious or strange eyes of those barbarians, and a few idle children followed him on the way.
They were muttering words that Dong Chen couldn't understand in the back, which could be regarded as adding some voice material to the Book of Heaven.
After walking along the wooden wall for a while, Dong Chen saw a small river after turning a few corners, "Tianshu, this small river is the one we have been following, right?" ”
"Yes, sir," Tianshu said as he showed a zigzag map in front of Dong Chen, "Mr. Lombal spotted you after you fell asleep 3 hours and 41 minutes ago, and then their route back to camp was along this small river. ”
"Sure enough, the gathering place of civilization is near the river."
"Although the river is not big, it is enough for the daily use of this tribe, a very good place."
Dong Chen looked left and right, and found that some barbarian women were washing vegetables and meat by the river, and some were carrying water back, and after looking at the time again, he knew that it was time to make dinner, and he turned around and walked back.
Although it is not when Lombal will come back, the tribe has already begun to prepare dinner, and it is estimated that he will come back soon, so Dong Chen plans to return.
Since you live in someone else's house, especially when you can't communicate with each other, it's better to be stable.
This way back and forth, Dong Chen did not take the same path, but was slightly different under the guidance of the route of the Book of Heaven, in order to see more dialogue scenes and collect more information.
When Dong Chen returned to Lombal's house, Xiao Hei was still sleeping, if it weren't for the sound of its "grunt~grunt~" sleeping, Dong Chen would have thought it was hanging.
But it's not bad to be quiet for a while, because Dong Chen just has something to do.
"Book of Heaven, have you finished sorting it out?" Dong Chen sat on the bed and asked.
"The first batch of linguistic analysis information has been collated and is ready for transmission, sir."
"Alright, let's start the transmission, I want to know as soon as possible what they are talking about, even if it's only a part." Dong Chen nodded in agreement.
"Sir, please take the two transmission enhancement devices on the smart bracelet, attach them to your temples, and then stay relaxed."
When Dong Chen heard this, he saw two high-tech patches the size of fingernails popping up on the smart bracelet, that is, the transmission enhancement device, and he picked it up with his right hand and pasted it on the two temples.
"Sir, the signal transmission begins."
As soon as Tianshu finished speaking, Dong Chen felt a heat on his temples on both sides, and then he felt that there was something more in his head, which was part of the barbarian language that Tianshu had sorted out.
Although there are only some translations of words in these languages because of the lack of contact, it is enough for Dong Chen to listen or say a part.
Since there was not much information, it was transmitted in a few seconds, and there was no pressure on Dong Chen's brain.
This is another reason why Dong Chen chose a small amount of transmission.
After Dong Chen packed up his things, Lombal came back, carrying a large plank made of several thick planks on his shoulders.
Seeing that Lombal was back, Dong Chen organized a little bit of the words he had just learned, and then the ghost sent a sentence.
"Uh...... Are you afraid? (Have you eaten it?) )”
