Chapter 9 Learning and Observation (Kneeling for Collection, Recommended)
Tang San walked to the entrance of the city more than ten meters away, looking at the guards at the city gate, Tang San's pupils shrank, and his heart sank slightly.
Eight soldiers, dressed in green uniforms, carried a rifle on their backs and a bayonet at the top, flashing with a cold light.
I was secretly shocked in my heart: "Good guy, I originally thought that this place was at most the era of the transition between feudal and modern civilization, but now it seems to be the national era at all." ”
As soon as I looked around, I saw that there were already a lot of people gathered here, all from the surrounding roads.
They were dressed very similarly to the costumes of the Republic of China, and some rich people even wore a costume very similar to a suit, riding in a rickshaw and whizzing past Tang San.
Looking at this strange and familiar picture, a hint of strangeness flashed in Tang San's eyes: "I don't know what era this world is, the era of peace or the era of war, if it is an era of peace, it is better to say, at least it will not die on the streets, if it is an era of war, then I have to be very careful in my behavior, the gun does not recognize people." ”
Tang San carefully observed the city gate for a short while, followed behind a group of people, and blended into the city gate.
The guards were lazy one by one, and did not check the passers-by, and even the captain of the city gate was still sitting there drinking a small drink.
Easily blending into the city gate, Tang San's gaze swept around, constantly observing.
The road in Chengli is a dirt road similar to Sanhetu, not a cement pavement, and the surrounding buildings are mainly brick and wood buildings, which looks similar to the western cities in the sixties and seventies, when the west was not yet widely opened.
From time to time, you can see hawkers on the streets, jumping on their burdens and walking through the streets, some buying and selling snacks, some selling used clothes, some selling all kinds of fruits, vegetables, and daily necessities.
With his keen observation, Tang San felt that the people in the city were full of life, and they didn't look like a chaotic and uneasy era, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"It seems to be peaceful, so the next step is to find a place to stay. ”
Tang San had just arrived, and he didn't dare to live outside at will, in case there was a curfew or something like a law in the city, it would be miserable, even if there was none, but the night was a time of frequent crimes, as an outsider, he didn't want to die in vain.
Finding a place to live is not a simple matter, Tang San's first problem is the language barrier.
But this is not difficult for him, his mind is naturally extraordinary, he can remember and analyze any information quickly, this is the capital he relies on to survive.
Looking at the big sun in the sky, it was still early, Tang San wandered around the noisy city streets, carefully observing the surrounding places such as hotels and inns, listening to the conversations between the guests and the shopkeepers, and quickly learning a few simple words.
Tang San has seen the writing of this world, and it can be judged that it is similar to the hieroglyphs of Chinese, so the language of this kind of writing should be similar to Chinese.
Therefore, Tang San needed to memorize those key words, and some words had similarities with Chinese, which accelerated his mastery.
In two hours, Tang San had mastered a few words of language that customers and shopkeepers had to speak.
Whenever a guest speaks these languages, the restaurant will ask the clerk or waiter to lead the guest to the depths of the inn, apparently to arrange a room.
At the same time, Tang San also paid attention to those guests who checked out, they generally paid a silver dollar, and then the boss would find them a few copper plates.
After calculation, Tang San now seemed to be quite valuable for a silver dollar, and in the end, he could recover five large copper coins, just now on the street, Tang San carefully observed, a large copper coin was worth ten small copper coins.
"Speaking of which, the money here is still in decimal, a silver dollar is worth about ten dollars, a large copper coin is worth a dollar, and a small copper coin is only a dime, the price is relatively low, I have thirty silver dollars here, enough to survive for a month, no problem. ”
There was no problem with money for the time being, Tang San knew it, but he didn't rush into the hotel, but went to an alley, where there was a small vendor specializing in selling used clothes.
Coming to the vendor, Tang San directly pointed to a set of ordinary gray clothes and said, "How much." ”
The vendor who bought clothes was a fifty-year-old woman, looking at Tang San with a cold face, a little afraid, and said softly: "One silver dollar." ”
Hearing this, Tang San shook his head and said, "Five big copper coins." ”
When the old woman heard this, she looked up at Tang San, whose face was getting colder and colder, and unconsciously a wave of fear rose from her heart.
Tang San didn't know, maybe it was because he had once incarnated as a heavenly corpse, and the inexplicable evil aura on his body would unconsciously make people feel a fear of him.
The old woman trembled and said, "All right, five-dime copper coins." ”
Tang San threw out a silver dollar, and then took away a set of clothes that he fancied, and at the same time, the old woman also recovered his five large copper coins.
Loading the coin, he ignored the old man and walked swiftly towards a dark spot deep in an alley.
A few minutes later, Tang San, who had changed his clothes, walked out of the shadows, refreshed, his whole person was different, and he strode towards a small hotel on the street.
After entering the hotel, Tang San came to the counter, looked at the shopkeeper, and used the few words he had learned to communicate with the shopkeeper successfully, and under Zhang Gui's scolding, Xun walked over and led Zhou Yi towards the depths of the hotel.
Xiao Er walked in front, saying something from time to time, Tang San just listened and didn't reply, he didn't understand most of the meaning, so he kept a cold face.
After seeing that Tang San didn't say a word, Xiao Er's originally enthusiastic face slowly became a little embarrassed, and he stopped talking.
In the end, Tang San took the key given to him by Xiao Er, entered the room, and watched Xiao Er explain everything, but Tang San ignored him and waved his hand to let him out.
Looking at Xiao Er who was leaving, Tang San looked around with sharp eyes.
It was a very simple room, just over ten square meters in size, with a bed, a wooden table, two chairs, and a set of teapots and teacups on the table, and nothing but that.
Sweeping over these old furniture, Tang San secretly pondered: "It seems that the industrial system here is not up to the level, or this is simply an underreached area. ”
The exhibition of society is uneven, especially in modern China, Tang San has a deep understanding, according to Tang San's reasoning, this country is probably the same.
However, these national events had nothing to do with Tang San, he had found a place of temporary stability in this world, and he could start to make certain plans for the future.
Looking at the sky with the sun hanging high through the window, Tang San said slowly: "Then the most important thing to solve now is the language problem, in a foreign country, not being able to speak and write is a big problem, and obtaining all kinds of information must be restricted." ”
Exactly: suddenly look at the Republic of China, cautiously and cautiously.
