Just when a few of us were puzzled, we heard movement from outside. Thinking that it might be the old man and Qian Cheng them, several people immediately walked out of the door. When we got to the door, we were met by the owner of the house, who had just returned from outside. The person who came was not the person we wanted to meet, and it was inevitable that we would be a little disappointed in our hearts.

However, after thinking about it, the owner of this house has the habit of getting up early, maybe he will know the whereabouts of Qian Cheng and the old man. So, I asked the owner of the house, "Uncle, have you seen our friends?" ”

As soon as I spoke, I realized that something was wrong: I spoke Mandarin, and the other party couldn't understand what I was saying. What can I do? Among the few of us, as long as Qian Cheng's foreign language is better, but the most important thing is that he is not there.

There was really no other way, so I simply pointed to Qian Cheng and the old man's room, and asked him with gestures if he had seen where the old man and Qian Cheng went?

But the owner of the house did not understand what I meant, and thought that I was telling him about the rent, so he spread his hand and motioned for us to live as we pleased. I saw that he misunderstood what I meant, so I quickly explained it again. Still, he couldn't get it. Seeing such a scene, Duoduo, Lisa, and the old ghost came up together to point fingers at him. But the more this happens, the more chaotic the scene becomes, and the uncle can't understand what we mean.

So I asked Duoduo, "Do you know anything about Nepal?" What language does this Nepalese speak? Didn't know they could speak Chinese? ”

"I guess I speak Nepali." Duoduo said.

"Are you sure?" I didn't think Duoduo's tone was very sure, so I checked with her.

"You can't be wrong." Duoduo thought for a while, and then analyzed: "There are at least 30 ethnic groups in Nepal, including Kas, Niwar, Sherpas, Raut and other ethnic groups. The Kasi are the predominant ethnic group in Nepal and they speak Nepali; The main language of the Newar is Nepali, which is the Chinese language promoted by the government. ”

"Do you know Nepali?" I asked.

Duoduo shook his head. Say you won't. I looked at Lisa again, and Lisa shook her head again, indicating that she wouldn't. However, Lisa adds: "However, I have heard that Nepal's multi-ethnicity has created a multilingual character. English and Hindi are also widely spoken here. In places where tourists stay and shop, along the hiking route, the peddlers and pawns can all speak simple or not simple English. ”

"Do you speak English?" Listen to Lisa's analysis. I hurriedly tried to communicate with the owner of the house in English. However, the owner of the house shrugged his shoulders, and it was obvious that he did not understand.

Seeing such a reaction, several of us were anxious. I said both English and Chinese, but it didn't work. He didn't speak Hindi, and things suddenly seemed to be at an impasse.

At this time, the old man and Qian Cheng came back from outside. However, it wasn't just the two of them who came back together, there was also someone we hadn't met. It looks like the skin is quite dark. And the body looks quite strong, it should be a person who often spends time outdoors.

When I saw Qian Cheng and them coming back, I hurriedly asked Qian Cheng, "Where did you go?" Why don't you even say hello? Lao Tzu was worried about being half dead. ”

Qian Cheng smiled and said in a flat tone: "What you said is true, do you care so much about Lao Tzu?" ”

"Damn, I have no conscience." I said, "Well, seriously. Where have you been?

"Let's go and invite the master in front of us." Qian Cheng whispered to me, "That's a coincidence." ”

I heard Qian Cheng say this. He asked, "What's the coincidence??" ”

Qian Cheng said: "This morning I woke up with a soak of urine, so I got up to go to the toilet. At this time, I happened to meet the senior who was about to go out, so I said hello to him. He thought I was up and asked me to go out with him. I thought there was something big, and I couldn't say I wouldn't go, so I followed him. Seeing that you are not getting up. I didn't call you. After I came out, I realized that I was looking for someone. Oh, it's the one in front of you! ”

"Oh." I looked at the man Qian Cheng said and asked him, "What is the origin of this person?" ”

Qian Cheng shook his head and said, "I don't know." I heard that he is a master. ”

"Master?" As soon as I heard Qian Cheng say this, I felt a little curious. But when I thought about it, I immediately understood that it might be the guide that my predecessor said we were looking for.

As soon as I wanted to go up and ask, I heard the senior say, "How many of you are here?" That's just right, I'll introduce you, this is Sharma. Bahadur. Omaha! From now on, he will be our guide. Tomorrow we will go into the mountain, and he will take us into the mountain. ”

"Excuse me, excuse me, what's his name?" The old ghost interrupted the old man's words.

In fact, the old ghost also asked everyone's heart: This name is too long, who can remember it?

"Haha, that's a bit long, you may not remember it. From now on, everyone can call me 'Bahadur' or 'Omaha'!" The somewhat dark guide spoke in Chinese, not very fluent.

"Do you know Chinese? That's great! When the old ghost saw that the other party spoke in Chinese, he said with relief: "Then we will communicate in Chinese in the future!" ”

"Okay, how convenient are you guys." The guide said.

"Good, good...... It's good to be short! We said in unison.

"What did his parents think? Give him such a long name. The old ghost muttered.

Qian Cheng said to the old ghost: "Nepalese names are very long. It includes not only one's first and last name, but also one's hobbies, wishes, and beliefs. Since Nepal is a Hindu country, many people also like to have the names of the gods and goddesses in Hindu legends as part of their names. Nepalese names are usually divided into three parts: the first character is the first name, the first name and the surname can be added according to the religious beliefs and one's own wishes, and finally the surname.

We often see Nepalese surnames such as: Sharma, Bird Budyaya, Balma, Kartli, Shah, Bahadur, etc. These are the 2 parts that make up the caste, and they each represent different meanings. For example, "Bahadur" means hero. Many Nepalis like to call it "Prasad", a word that comes from Hinduism and means kindness.

In addition to the origin of a person's name, according to religion, custom, and ancestral name, there are also cases when a child is named on the eleventh day after birth, when a patriarch or monk is asked to name it. The patriarch or monk gave the first word to the baby's name, and the subsequent words were taken by the child's father, thus forming the child's name. ”

"Oh, I see." The old ghost said, "When you say that, it's much easier to remember." (To be continued......)
