Chapter 173: A Town That Speaks Chinese
Below the valley, through a small plain, you can reach the town, which has churches, houses of all kinds, and black smoke rising from the coal burnings of the blacksmiths.
The most striking thing is the building in the center of the town, surrounded by a tall wall, completely isolating itself from the surrounding buildings, surrounded by a moat, which reminds Su Ming of the castle of the old nobles of Dongyang Island.
It's just that the building is much larger, and it looks like a miniature city, reminiscent of a huge royal palace.
Xia Xiaoyu was stunned, stunned for a long time, and asked, "Do we want to look in?" ”
"It's not easy for me to get in like this, get a little closer, and then you go in and steal two clothes that fit us, and then go in again."
……
Not long after, Xia Xiaoyu rushed back with two clothes, looking a little strange.
"Su Ming, I found that something is wrong with this town, why do the people inside all speak Chinese?" Xia Xiaoyu said puzzled.
"All speak Chinese? Are you sure? Su Ming's face changed slightly.
Xia Xiaoyu nodded: "I'm sure, after I entered, the people on the road, and the people in the clothing store, anyway, all the people I met were speaking Chinese." ”
Su Ming's eyes turned to the town, thinking that what the people he wanted to teach were not all right, although Sara didn't lie at the time, but it turned out that not only the people who wanted to teach could communicate with outsiders like them in this world.
But why is it that in such a big town, everyone speaks Chinese? Could it be that the inhabitants are all outsiders like them?
Or did everyone there study Chinese specifically?
No, it is impossible to learn Chinese, even if it is specialized, there is no need to use a second language in daily life, so the only answer is that these residents are all people from their original world, all outsiders!
"Let's get dressed first." Su Ming said.
He and Xia Xiaoyu each found a bush and changed into new clothes, originally Xia Xiaoyu didn't have to change clothes, because no one could see her, but if there was a dream person in this town, and the dream person was not a human being, then Xia Xiaoyu who did not change clothes would be too easy to be discovered.
Su Ming got dressed and looked at his outfit, a gentleman's outfit? Black coat with white lining? Dark brown leather boots, a good match? And not very conspicuous? Looking at the hand-polished and smooth metal buttons on the cuffs, you can see that this dress is worth a lot of money in this world.
A loud noise in the grass on the other side? Xia Xiaoyu also got out of it, and she was actually wearing men's clothes? Shoulder-length short hair was coiled around by her? It is fastened to the back of the head with a clip, and it is impossible to see after wearing the hat.
She smiled at Su Ming, turned the bowler hat in her hand and put it on her head, and asked, "How is it?" You alright? ”
Very sassy? Feminine femininity? With a man's ability and sharp temperament, she can really control this kind of dress, Su Ming thought to herself.
"Barely fool around, look at your face and know it's not a man." Su Ming said casually.
Xia Xiaoyu's skin is too smooth and delicate, it is impossible for a man to have that kind of skin? With a little attention, someone can easily identify her gender.
She rubbed her cheeks? He nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, but most people shouldn't be able to see me?" This level of camouflage is quite sufficient. ”
After the two finished camouflage, they got on their horses and rushed down the hill? All the way into town? After entering town? Su Ming really saw the level of civilization in this world.
The streets are lined with beautifully decorated horse-drawn carriages, the iron signs hanging from the shops along the roads are carefully decorated, and the most common people here are dressed better than those who wish to be taught, and the mere look at this town shows that the productivity of this world is not lagging behind.
In addition, Su Ming could occasionally see soldiers wearing armor and red cloth sheets, walking around the streets with spears in hand.
These soldiers should be the ones who guarded the castle, and if you guessed correctly, the people who lived in that castle should be the people of your dreams.
"What should we do? I feel like asking a casual question will reveal the stuffing. Xia Xiaoyu said.
Su Ming was silent, agreeing with Xia Xiaoyu's opinion in his heart, if they find a random hotel and go in and ask why they all speak Chinese, there is a high probability that the identity of the outsider will be exposed, and even if they don't ask, the other party only needs to ask them a "Where do you come from?" They are also likely to show their feet.
Just when Su Ming didn't know how to start the first step, someone suddenly shouted his name behind him.
"Hey! Su Ming! Is that you? ”
Su Ming patted the horse's neck, told the horse to stop, and turned to search for the person who shouted to him in the crowd.
Su Ming glanced over and immediately recognized the person who greeted him, it was Arthur!
Arthur's dazzling blonde hair was too dazzling in the crowd, he looked very tired, and he was very excited to see Su Ming.
Seeing that he had not admitted his mistake, Arthur walked quickly to Su Ming's side, opened his mouth, wanted to say something, and finally turned into a sigh: "Great! You're alive too! ”
"Arthur, what a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be here too!" Su Ming was really a little surprised, he didn't expect to meet Arthur here at all.
Based on his previous experience, he felt that Arthur should also be with the Hope cultists.
But since they met, it would be safer to act together, and since Arthur has been here for so long, he should also understand that this mission cannot be solved by strength alone.
"Let's go together, it's a dangerous mission." Su Ming sent out an invitation again.
This time, Arthur did not refuse, he heard Su Ming's words, lowered his head in shame, shook his head and sighed:
"I should have listened to you, I was ready to come in again, and if I could do it all over again, I would come in with you...... Forget it, what's the use of talking about this now, let's go, go to where I live, and we'll talk slowly. ”
Arthur has completely lost his arrogant appearance outside the white fog, at this moment, he looks extremely depressed, it seems that Arthur has also experienced a lot of things after entering the white fog, and understands how difficult their current situation is.
"Arthur, why are you here?" Su Ming asked.
"By chance, maybe it's pure luck, if you don't find this place, Feiyun and I ...... Probably dead. You can come here means that you are lucky, all people speak Chinese in the town is very rare, and this is the one nearby. ”
"Do you know why? Why do people here speak Chinese? ”
"I know, but I'm not sure if it's true or not, anyway, let's go to where I live first, it's not far from here." Arthur sighed again.
Su Ming turned over and dismounted, and walked with Arthur all the way to the door of a tavern.
Pushing the door in, the fragrance of flowers mixed with the aroma of meat and wine comes to the face.
The men around were noisy, playing cards around the round table in groups of six, and the boss behind the counter saw Arthur coming in, raised his hand and smiled at him, Arthur said hello to the other party, and walked towards the back door of the tavern with Su Ming.
"It's a tavern, but it's the largest tavern in the area." Arthur explained.
He led Su Ming through the back door and came to the backyard, where the kitchen was not far away, and the food delivery people shuttled back and forth between the tavern and the kitchen.
"The world seems to be pretty good, I didn't expect the food to be so good, I thought the food I wanted to teach those people was average." Su Ming muttered to himself.
"You must have been hoping to teach, right? Hope is a religion with masochism as its dogma, and it's no wonder that they eat well.
However, such good food is not eaten everywhere, only in the territory of the person in the dream, after all, if you want to live a stable life, the safety of life must be guaranteed first...... And if you want to be safe, you can only get the territory of the dream man. ”
Arthur led Su Ming to the entrance of a cellar and said:
"I'm staying here for the time being, I'm using my abilities to help the owner of this tavern, and he took me in and let me live in the cellar, and after a while I vacate the room, the living conditions should be much better." Arthur smiled wryly, with a bit of self-deprecation in his tone.
He took Su Ming into the cellar, the air under the cellar was very dull, the temperature was also very low, and in the empty cellar, only a bed and a wooden cabinet were placed at the very edge, the bed was not even a bed, just a large pile of firewood was full of thatch, and the quilt was quite thick.
"You're just sleeping here?" Su Ming was slightly surprised, in his impression, Arthur was a person who couldn't endure hardship.
"That's right, I'll remodel this bed a little in a few days, and it should be more comfortable." Arthur said expressionlessly.
"Feiyun works in a blacksmith shop, and uses his abilities to help others forge weapons, and the owner of the blacksmith shop takes him in.
His fire-forged weapons were of excellent quality, so the blacksmith treated him quite favorably, and he lived a much better life than I did.
But I thought that in the summer, my ice-making skills would come in handy, and my salary would be much higher.
By the way, you're thirsty, aren't you? I'm a good bartender, and a lot of people here have never seen the world, and you can fool them with a mess of fruit mixed up.
After a while, I'm going to develop a few new recipes, and if I'm lucky enough to save some money, I'll open my own tavern. ”
As he spoke, Arthur opened the wooden cabinet and took out two glasses and a bottle of wine from it, he poured two glasses of wine, rubbed a little salt on the rim of the glass, and then poured a little unknown liquid.
After doing this, he handed one of the glasses of wine to Su Ming: "It tastes good, try it, it can make your nerves less tense." Since you're here, open a tavern with me, and I'll take care of you...... By the way, what about Flora and the kid? Why aren't they with you? ”
"We were separated due to some accidents in the middle." Su Ming said lightly, he took the cup and tasted it, it tasted really good.
Su Ming looked up at the man in front of him, Arthur's expression was faint, and he couldn't see what was on his mind, but Su Ming could feel that the other party's mental state was a little wrong.
