Chapter 32: Do You Want to Learn a Otherworldly Language?
Even the golden silk nanmu has been found, and Liu Ci really can't say that he can't build a stone house wholeheartedly.
Liu Ci was in charge of measuring the dimensions of each room, then drawing down the furniture that should fit the placement, and then handing the design to the coo, who explained it to the silver wolf, who easily cut the golden silk nanmu that was comparable to a golden stone into pieces of wood for use.
Because the stone house itself is surrounded by mountains and rivers, Liu Ci was influenced by the family style, and the furniture designed was mainly in the style of the ancient Ming and Qing dynasties in China.
Pulling a bed, a chaise longue, a six-legged round stool, a dressing cabinet inlaid with a copper mirror, a multi-treasure grid with vases, a table of eight immortals for eating, a large desk for writing, and a log bookshelf...... Oh, aren't you two masters, so draw the loom you've always wanted but didn't bother to make.
As soon as Liu Ci's furniture was painted, not to mention the silver wolf, even the cooing bird, who knew a lot about human society, was dumbfounded.
A table for eating, as for carvings and birds? What is the name of that bird "crane", how can it cooing beautifully, it is really a little person without vision.
Liu Ci spread his hands, stuffed a bunch of drawings to the silver wolf, and went to build an underground sewage system by himself.
Cooing Bird: "It's really hard to serve, who is the master and who is the servant?" β
Silver Wolf: "Bird's meat for lunch today." β
Cooing Bird: "I'm going home!" β
Silver Wolf: "Do you think roast or stew is delicious?" β
Cooing Bird: "I was wrong, let's make the table first." β
β¦β¦
Pinching his nose to the sweet potato vines, yams, and potatoes planted a few days ago, the spring breeze quickly blew away the stench, Liu Ci ran to the silver wolf they made furniture under the tree, the aroma of the golden silk nanmu swept away the filth of livestock manure, she couldn't help but be a little complacent, choose fragrant wood to make furniture, really very far-sighted.
Actually, the silver wolf was a carpenter in his last life, right?!
Lord Wolf God and Coo Gu Bird cooperate tacitly, and many pieces of furniture are generally made, only what hollow carved silver wolf is too lazy to take care of, and is concentrating on dealing with the enlarged version of the chaise longue.
In the morning, Liu Ci tried the extravagant loom, which was much faster than the simple warp and weft planks she used, and immediately went to the forest to cut down a few trees, ready to cut new clothes this year.
But how can the furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties not be decorated with carved hollows? The bare tables and chairs are quaint, and the clumsy ones don't have half a delicate atmosphere, which simply makes the top golden silk nanmu pearl dusty.
Thanks to her, she wasted a lot of yellow paper in order to draw patterns, and she must have made a lot of paper during the Dragon Boat Festival this year.
Putting forward the request, the coo-coo bird told her not to worry with a mysterious face, and then turned the topic to what to eat at noon today.
The potatoes that were not planted last time have not been made, and the day before yesterday, the silver wolf hunted another bison, and the fried steak has been made, why don't you have a potato stewed brisket?
When he was cutting the potatoes, he remembered that there was still a lot of leftover beef, and Liu Ci wondered if it would be all made into beef jerky and put it away, so that it could be eaten as a snack. beckoned the cooing bird to come over and help make the fire, Liu Ci simmered the beef brisket in the pot, and ran to the open space behind the boulder to practice physical skills.
In more than a year, she had reached the sixth level of physical skills, the highest level before the crossing.
In fact, as soon as he entered the middle stage of Qi training, his physical fitness improved greatly, and Liu Ci was now able to fight with large beasts such as wild boars with his bare hands. Although there is some putting the cart before the horse, Liu Ci did not give up halfway.
Ordinary people's bodies have great potential, and physical arts are designed to develop the body's own potential through exercise. It is not difficult for a child whose physical potential has been developed to kill an ordinary adult strong man, although the physical quality occupies a part of the willingness, the enemy moves learned when practicing physical skills, and the unbelievable attack angle, are really unguardable.
Wood Aura nourishes and transforms Liu Ci's body all the time, the toughness of his bones, and the strength of his muscles...... She is no longer a delicate and frail family now, but in the magical world where she can't do the release of aura, every accumulation of aura contains her hard sweat, and the talisman is a good means of attack, but she can't rely on the talisman at any time. If it happens that the talisman on his body is exhausted, then the monk's strong physical body can also play a powerful role, provided that Liu Ci is familiar with his physical body and knows how to use the power contained in it.
She now summoned all her aura to her arm, and the power of a single punch could easily smash the huge mountain stone into powder, but at the same time, Liu Ci's arm was also useless.
The reason for this is naturally that the physical strength is not enough, and the lack of experience in the use of strength cannot really give full play to the strength that should be there.
It can be as big as hitting a stake over and over again, kicking and bouncing, getting up and down between branches under weight, as small as hitting a target a hundred meters away with a stone with your fingers, or more perverted, such as giving you a tile to practice water rafting, and being able to safely float a tile across the river to the other side.
I don't know when these exercises have been handed down, and the children of the Liu family have been trained like this for generations, unlike ordinary people in the Federation who choose an indoor simulated environment when they practice physical arts.
Anyway, Liu Ci was lazy when she was a child when she went to the field training, and it is said that her sister-in-law practiced to the point that she could make a tile float on the surface of the Dongting water, until the distance beyond people's eyesight was fast before sinking into the water. It is probably because of this that Liu Ziyuan's attainments in calligraphy can catch up.
Sweating profusely, he untied the stones tied to his body, and Liu Ci now somewhat understood what the Liu family's unique training methods were for.
Kicking and bouncing, in the case of weight-bearing conditions, the longitudinal practice is the light body technique, using the fingers to play stones, including using tiles to hit the water and drift across the river is to train the wrist, plus the basic skills such as hitting wooden stakes and squatting horse steps, the training of the Liu family is clearly for the master of internal strength.
Strictly speaking, Reiki is also a kind of internal strength, and the level of strength is still above the internal strength. But if Liu Ci wants to fight against the family's worship now, she will only lose, and the internal strength in other people's bodies will all be practiced by herself, and the aura in her body will travel through the meridians, which is always adulterated with a trace of fake.
Wash off the stinky sweat and come out, and the brisket in the pot has been stewed soft. Liu Ci poured the blanched potato cubes, the potatoes were easy to cook, and they had to be put into the pot after the brisket was cooked.
There was one more cooing bird to eat, Liu Ci thought about it and cut off a large lump of fat and thin beef, cut it into small pieces, marinated it with chili powder and salt, and when the potatoes in the pot were cooked, the beef was skewered with bamboo skewers and grilled with red charcoal after the fire was turned off. The brisket is divided into three plates, and the grilled beef skewers are all served on plantain leaves, and a lunch of beef as the main course is complete.
I don't know when the radish in the field will be cooked, and the beef stew with radish is king.
The beef is skewered with ground wild fennel powder before it is skewered, and it is more fragrant than braised beef brisket with potatoes.
"Little man, I didn't get anything in return for eating a few of your meals, or I would teach you to speak human buzzwords?" The goo-goo bird swallowed the last skewer of roast beef, and the belching suggestion was a stroke of genius.
Liu Ci was stunned, she had been in the other world for a year and a half, and she had been using spiritual power to communicate with the silver wolf since she met it. Although some words could not be transmitted correctly, there was no obstacle to daily "conversation", so she unconsciously ignored the matter of learning otherworldly languages.
Subconsciously reluctant to give up the federal native language, right? Liu Ci smiled bitterly, she has several languages since elementary school, the federal mother tongue is both ancient Huaxia, and the interstellar common standard language is tied for the top two, in addition to the new era of the earth outside the Chinese Chinese language, or the earth federation diplomacy close to some powerful planetary languages, the most commonly used of which is of course the Chinese mother tongue, even if dealing with aliens Liu Ci mostly uses translators, and rarely speaks interstellar language. The old-fashioned education of the Liu family is a reason, she feels that the ancient Chinese language is frustrating, and sometimes there are several interpretations of a word, and the charm is endless.
Now that she even has to give up her native Chinese language, life is really hard and hard to cheat her father, will she simply become a person from another world after a few decades?
If this is the case, I am afraid that the old lady of the Liu family will come to find Liu Ci, who has forgotten his ancestors, when he dies and becomes a ghost.
But if you want to integrate into the other world, how can you not know the language of this world, the cooing bird reminded her, Liu Ci thought about it and nodded.
"Beyond the Moroch Mountains, there are three major human empires, the Xiyi Empire has been the strongest in the last few hundred years, and the human world speaks the Heyi language, in addition to the Spur language, which is also spoken by many people. The others are small languages, including the regional languages of various countries, the languages of goblins and orcs, so you don't have to learn these, right? β
Liu Ci nodded, is the Xiyi Empire the strongest, it seems that in the process of learning the language, by the way, you can also understand the world beyond the mountains, killing two birds with one stone.
From this day on, Gugu Niao served as Liu Ci's language teacher.
The silver wolf didn't think that Liu Ci would leave the mountain range in the future, so that the goo bird Bai picked up the identity of a teacher, and the wolf king was very dissatisfied and asked the goo bird to complete its first task first.
Unlike the arrogant wolf king, Gugu has a large number of "little brothers", and under its call, all kinds of birds and monsters come one after another, among which there is a bird with a short and pointed beak, which often feeds on tree fibers. I saw a group of "tree birds" pecking at all kinds of furniture for a few days under the command of the cooing bird, and even the sawdust did not fly, and the floating picture on the hard golden silk nanmu furniture loomed, and the branches and veins of various famous Chinese flowers were clear,ββ the drunken picture of the concubine carved on the chaise longue couch, and the plump ancient lady looked forward to the bright and drunk lazy between the eyebrows and eyes; The comic book of "Zen Monastery Zhang Shengchu Meeting Yingying" on the side of the bed is vivid and expressive......
For the first time, the silver wolf felt that the math-loving Gugu Bird still had merit, and Liu Ci came up with the absurd idea that "it must be very profitable to partner with the Gugu Bird in the furniture business".
After the furniture was done, some details of the stone house were also handed over to the "tree birds", and Gugu instructed them to make the window lattices according to Liu Ci's wishes.
"It's a pity that there is no glass yet." Liu Ci regretted that she had no time to burn glass recently, and the papier-mΓ’chΓ© windows were full of ancient style, but unfortunately the lighting was too bad.
The human alchemist outside the Moloch Mountains made glass many years ago, but deliberately ran to human society for a few small things? Both the Cooing Bird and the Silver Wolf were evasive about this question, and after being silent for a long time, the Cooing Bird's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Just clear, strong crystals, glass or not?"
Liu Ci nodded, glass is not the cheapest goods.
The cooing bird looked at the silver wolf and smiled, "This must find the silver wolf king." β
