Chapter 32: I, Illiterate

It was still the familiar large tent, but unlike before, Dong Chen was very clear this time, and even along the way, there were already barbarians who took the initiative to greet Dong Chen.

Those people either fought with Dong Chen and fought "Straight Sorrow", or they had seen Dong Chen cook in the cafeteria, so they all knew Dong Chen, and they also felt that Dong Chen was a good person.

After being able to speak the words of the barbarians, Dong Chen found that this great elder was really easy to contact, at least he entered his big tent, there were no strange requests, and he didn't say anything "outsiders are not allowed to enter" and so on.

"Great Elder, I'm here again, hehe." Lombal said with a smile.

"Respected Great Elder, since I didn't speak your language the last time we met, I didn't say hello to you, this time I learned your language, I will officially say hello to you, my name is Dong Chen, thank you for your help to me."

Compared to Lombard, who was more familiar and close to the Great Elder, Dong Chen's greetings were much more formal, and he bowed his head to the Great Elder after speaking.

The Great Elder first nodded to Lombal before he said gently to Dong Chen, "Don't be so polite, hehe, lost adventurer." ”

"Lombal found you in the forest, and you should be grateful to him, but I was amazed at how well you learned the language, and it only took me a few days to communicate fluently with the people of the tribe."

"So, Dong Chen, did you come to me for something?"

The Great Elder's attitude was very gentle, although he said that he would just thank Lombard, but Dong Chen knew that if it wasn't for his affirmation, then his treatment in the tribe would definitely be a different situation.

After he learned to speak, he knew this the first time he chatted with Lombard, especially the Great Elder defined himself as a "guest", so he had people he knew along the way to greet him, otherwise even if he cooked by himself, no matter how delicious it was, at most he had a good feeling.

Talking about the dead brains of the barbarians proves that it is very important to listen to the words of the Great Elder.

Now hearing the Great Elder ask him what he meant, Dong Chen looked at the books on his shelf, and then recalled Lombal's instructions, so he asked directly, "Great Elder, I came this time to get your help. ”

"I want to borrow your book to read, I don't know if it's okay?"

"Oh, reading?" The Great Elder was also stunned when he heard this request, and turned his head to look at his book, "It's the first time I've heard such a request, but none of the boys in the clan like to read these things. ”

"Hehe, but that thing is really boring," Lombal said directly to the seated scratching head.

The Great Elder ignored this stupid boy, but looked straight at Dong Chen, waiting for his reply.

"That's right, Grand Elder, after my ship broke down, I was stranded on an island......

Since the Great Elder asked, Dong Chen also briefly talked about his own affairs, and the matter was basically the same thing, but he changed it in some key matters.

For example, the wrecked ship is not a wooden ship at sea, but a starship.

He didn't come from another continent either, but from another planet.

The storm and the monsters of the sea don't damage his ship, his ship was blown up by a storm of space energy.

However, compared to the Great Elder and Lombal, after Dong Chen's story, they knew that Dong Chen was an adventurer from another continent, and he went to sea in search of a new continent, but he encountered storms and monsters at sea, and the ship finally couldn't hold on and ended up here.

He then walked through the forest with the blessing of his ancestors, but eventually fell among the flowers and was picked up by Lombal to the tribe.

“…… In our place, books are very important information carriers, and many things will be recorded on them. ”

"And if I'm not mistaken, although I drifted here, I think I did find a new continent, and I want to go to the Terran world in your mouth to find out if I can find my way home."

"I heard Lombal say, Great Elder, you have been to the human world many times, and even many of the books here were brought by you from the human world, so I just wanted to borrow the books of the Great Elder, learn about the customs and habits of your side, and see if you can find some information about the human society, and don't do anything inappropriate at that time."

Dong Chen's story, the Great Elder couldn't tell the truth from the false, but Dong Chen's attitude was indeed extremely serious, and the Great Elder was still sure.

And when he was wandering outside, he really heard of some adventurers who were specifically looking for the end of the world, looking for new continents and new worlds.

Dong Chen's experience is exactly in line with what this kind of adventurer does, and his intuition has always been very effective to tell him that there is nothing wrong with what Dong Chen said, he really came to borrow books, and the purpose of borrowing books is not to hurt them.

These days, all the things that Dong Chen does in the tribe, the Great Elder has sent people to keep an eye on it, and everything he does, the Great Elder knows.

Judging from his state in the past few days, he is indeed learning the language, but this learning progress is indeed too fast, and he is simply genius.

And everything here is very strange to him, he does have a process of gradually becoming familiar, from not understanding anything at the beginning, to gradually becoming familiar now, it can be seen.

So after a deep sigh, the Great Elder asked an important question, "It's okay to borrow books, but you...... Is it literate? ”

“…………”

Dong Chen's head suddenly became big.

“…… No. ”

No way, no matter how much knowledge he has learned on the earth, but when he arrives on the other side of the planet with different civilizations, Dong Chen doesn't know a word, even if he learns to speak, it is still a ...... Illiterate.

Looking at Dong Chen's embarrassed expression, the Great Elder smiled gently, "It's okay, it's okay if you can't read, it's rare to see a young man who likes to read so much, I can teach you to read." ”

"Aren't you going to the Terran world here? I can teach you the language of the Terrans here, how long have I been in the Terran world. ”

"Thank you so much," Dong Chen said happily, "You are really a respected elder. ”

After deciding on the matter of studying, Dong Chen and Long Bar said goodbye and left, and today they had to accompany Long Bar to finish the work, and then come back tomorrow to formally learn the barbarian and human scripts with the Great Elder, and they could also read books while studying.

On the way back, Lombal asked Dong Chen, "Dong Shen, do you really want to learn words from the Great Elder?" ”

"Our words and the words of the human race are crooked like totems, and I will be dizzy when I look at two more, and I can't remember them at all."

"That's because you can't remember, it's not that others can't remember," Dong Chen waved his hand speechlessly, drew a big circle and said, "I'm with us, and I have to read millions of words for a few days, and after reading it, I feel uncomfortable if I don't read it for a day, and I will be short of books." ”

"How many ...... Millions of words? This is ......" Lombal snapped his fingers in surprise when he heard this, and he couldn't count them when he was done.

"That's too good?! Do you all love to read and study so much? ”

Faced with Lombard's surprise, Dong Chen spread his hands and said, "I definitely like to read books, but I don't know if I like to study or not." ”

"Isn't reading the same as studying?" Lombal continued to ask in surprise.

Facing Lombal's second surprise, Dong Chen, who was more than one meter eight, said to Lombard, who was more than two meters eight, "Lombard, you are still young, you will know when you grow up, reading books and studying are definitely two meanings." ”
