Chapter 317: Habits
"It's their custom, we're guests, and we're guests. Wu Dongfang shook his head and said.
Fei Xuan didn't know if Wu Dongfang was telling the truth or teasing him, and after hesitating, he didn't stop the woman from making his bed, but fortunately, the woman didn't send his futon to the toilet, but spread it on the right side of the wooden door near the wall.
Wu Dongfang pointed to the position of the woman who made his bed, but the woman didn't understand what he meant, and looked at him suspiciously.
"It's their custom, we're guests, and we're guests. Fei Xuan shouted from the east.
"Don't make a fuss. Wu Dongfang took the futon himself, walked to the door and put it down.
Seeing this, Fei Xuan walked over quickly, picked up the bedding, and sent it back to its previous position, "Guests are at your disposal." ”
"Brother Fei, don't laugh, Shui Sheng is an unmarried woman, this move is inappropriate. Xin Tong came over and persuaded him.
Xunshuang tilted her head and glanced at Xin Tong when she heard this, she naturally knew that Xin Tong did not do this to take care of her reputation, but she didn't want Wu Dongfang to sleep too close to her, and she might also be a little annoyed that Xin Tong used her as a shield, so she said with a smile, "It's right to be a guest with the host." ”
This remark hit Fei Xuan's heart, put Wu Dongfang's futon on the side next to Xunshuang, and diligently helped him let go and lay it.
Buck didn't know what the four of them were talking about, and he didn't know why Fei Xuan moved Wu Dongfang's futon around, and waited until the beds for the four were made, then he walked in, sat on the carpet in the middle of the hall, and then beckoned the four of them to sit on the ground.
Because of the language barrier, there was nothing to say after sitting down, and after waiting for a few minutes, a group of young women entered the door, spread a round cloth between the five people, and then someone brought a large pot and several cups, the pot was made of metal, it should be tin or aluminum, there were two large thermoses, long necks. The cup should be silver, a bit like a small bowl, with a gold rim and green gems inlaid on the outside of the cup.
There was a special young woman who poured a drink for everyone, and the drink was milky white and very sticky.
Buck picked up his cup and took a sip.
Since Wu Dongfang had said not to eat each other's food as much as possible, Fei Xuan and the others looked at Wu Dongfang at the same time, Wu Dongfang nodded, signaling that it was okay to eat.
Seeing this, the three of them each picked up their cups, brought them to their lips and frowned at the same time.
"Drink, it's okay, it's yogurt. Wu Dongfang took a sip.
The three of them had never even heard the word yogurt before, and in their impression, sour was rotten and spoiled, and eating it would be bad for their stomach.
Seeing this, Buck guessed that they might not be accustomed to the drink, so he said something to the maid, who put down the jug and walked out, and after a while brought back a jug and several cups, this time with water.
If you don't understand the language, you can't communicate, the five people are speechless to sit down, and they can only use gestures to express what they want to say, but they are always dignified and undignified, but if they don't gesticulate, they have to sit dry, and it is very embarrassing to sit dry.
After boiling half a column of incense, Buck stood up straight, made a series of complex gestures, and stepped out the door.
"What did he do?" Fei Xuan didn't understand Barker's gesture.
"I don't understand either. Wu Dongfang shook his head and said.
"I don't understand what you're nodding for? It's only this sour goat's milk, and it's not even with us for dinner?" Fei Xuan frowned.
"It's not bad, it's just a special taste. Wu Dongfang took all the yogurt in front of the three of them and drank it.
"How can you swallow?" Fei Xuan looked disgusted.
"It was Brother Wu who had the foresight to let us bring dry food. Xin Tong said.
Fei Xuan tilted his head to look at the maid standing aside with the pot, raised his hand and waved at her, "You go, we're going to rest." ”
The maid said a word eagerly, but she didn't know what she said, and she couldn't understand a word.
Fei Xuan was helpless, stood up, raised his hand and pointed to the door, "You, go, let's, we, want, rest." ”
"Don't bother, no matter how slow you say, she won't understand. Wu Dongfang said with a smile.
Fei Xuan sighed and sat down again, "I can't make sense of words, so I'm so depressed." ”
"If only the prince were still here. Wu Dongfang also sighed, the prince can read minds, which is the best translation, in addition, the prince can also teleport, and it is also extremely convenient to transmit news between the two places.
As soon as Wu Dongfang mentioned the prince, the mood of the three of them immediately fell, Fei Xuan and the prince were good friends, Xin Tong could sit firmly in the position of the fire saint, and he could not do without the help of the prince, and the prince once went to the wood clan to raise grain and grass for the water tribe, and he also had kindness to the water tribe, and the departure of the prince was not only a loss for Wu Dongfang, but also their regret.
After sitting for more than ten minutes, Fei Xuan couldn't help it, and gestured again to let the maid leave, but the maid never left, as long as the four of them drank water or yogurt, she would pour it full, even if it was only a sip, she poured, poured it very skillfully, did not spill at all, and in the end the four people did not dare to take the cup.
Wu Dongfang and Xunshuang had eaten on the top of the mountain before, Xin Tong and Fei Xuan had not, and both of them were hungry at this time, but the maid didn't leave, and it was inconvenient for them to take dry food out in front of others.
After waiting for another ten minutes, a few maids came, carrying two large plates, square, about the size of the aluminum plate of steamed steamed buns in the army, one of which had a roasted sheep on it, and the other was a whole square loaf of bread, and the bread was sprinkled with no less than a dozen kinds of dried fruits and candied fruits.
The cutlery is wrapped in cloth, and when it is spread out, there are various knives and forks, some large and some small.
Fei Xuan and Xunshuang Xintong naturally recognized the roasted whole sheep, but they didn't know bread, and when they looked at the big bread curiously, Wu Dongfang gestured and asked where Buck went, and a maid raised her hand to the south and made a gesture for a meeting, which meant that Buck was having a meeting with an important person in the city.
Fei Xuan just didn't want to take out dry food in front of outsiders, but he didn't mind that someone served him to eat, in fact, the status of the holy witches was very high, and he was usually served by someone when he ate.
Fei Xuan is more elegant and wants to learn to use knives and forks, but he is not used to using these knives and forks, which makes it very awkward. Xun Shuang didn't care about that, just cut off a slice and ate it with his hands, Xin Tong was worried that he would look clumsy when he used a knife and fork, so he never touched the mutton, and she didn't dare to try the plate of pasta that was very strange to her easily.
Wu Dongfang grabbed a piece of bread, took a bite, and then grabbed another piece and handed it to Xin Tong, "It's okay, you taste it." ”
The bread is indeed very fine, but Xin Tong is not used to eating it, at this time there is no yeast or substitute in Middle-earth, and the food eaten is not fermented, and the reason why the bread is so fluffy is undoubtedly the addition of yeast or something similar to yeast, with the smell of yeast, Xin Tong is not very used to it. Whether food is good or not sometimes depends not on the food itself, but also on the personal preference of the person who eats it.
After eating, the maid went out with a plate and a kettle, in fact, there was still a lot of bread left, but there were outsiders present, and it was inconvenient for Wu Dongfang to put it in the Qiankun bag.
"What are you looking at?" asked Wu Dongfang Chong, who was looking back at Fei Xuan, who was watching the maid leave.
Fei Xuan retracted his gaze and said, "They are much taller than the women of Middle-earth. ”
"It's not high, it's even higher. Wu Dongfang walked to the north bed, "It's not early, go to bed early." ”
After Wu Dongfang finished speaking, Xin Tong took the lead in agreeing and walked to the bed that originally belonged to Wu Dongfang.
The four of them were not used to sleeping with the lights on, Xin Tong raised his hand and waved out the calcium carbide lamp, Wu Dongfang hurriedly got up when he saw this, walked over and took the calcium carbide lamp outside the house, the gas emitted by this thing was poisonous.
There is no difference between the four of them with or without a lamp, they can still see the surrounding environment clearly in the dark, because they live in the same room, they naturally can't take off their clothes, and they all lie down with their clothes on.
Coming to a completely unfamiliar environment, the four of them were not sleepy, but they didn't talk to each other, lying on the bed and thinking about things, Fei Xuan and the others didn't know what they were thinking, Wu Dongfang was thinking that among the four ancient civilizations, ancient China was not the best, at least in terms of food, metallurgy, architecture, and other aspects were inferior to ancient Babylon.
Traveling all the way before, the four of them were very tired, but they were tired and tired, but they couldn't sleep, of course, there were elements of not adapting to the new environment, and there were also reasons why Fei Xuan and others didn't understand, that is, jet lag, ancient Babylon was about twelve o'clock in the morning at this time, but it should be five or six o'clock in the morning now, and at five or six o'clock, except for Wu Dongfang, who loved to lie in bed, the other three people had already gotten up.
Wu Dongfang fell asleep first, and after waking up, he judged that the three of them were not asleep according to their breathing, and it was almost dawn at this time.
Wu Dongfang didn't sleep well this night, the people here should be wearing clothes similar to linen made of palms, and the bedding should also be made of this material. But what the other party prepared for them was woolen bedding, which was originally hot here, and then spread the wool and cover the wool, and they couldn't take off their clothes, so it was strange that they could sleep well.
There was no mutton for breakfast, and the three of them were water and bread. Wu Dongfang is yogurt with bread.
When the sun rose, Buck came and asked them to go on their way.
Buck lifted off first, followed by the four of them, flying due north.
Buck's situation reminded Wu Dongfang of solar charging, and the fact may be true, due to insufficient charging, Buck did not fly fast, Fei Xuan could keep up with Wanzhang Fuyao, Xunhuang used a weak water dragon whirl, Xin Tong used a red flame dance, Wu Dongfang did not use the wind and clouds to move, and used the earth of the Tu tribe.
"Without an interpreter, how can we talk to them?" Fei Xuan said to Wu Dongfang, and what he said was actually a translation.
"Go to their base camp and you'll have it. Wu Dongfang said that the child of a mage of the Tu tribe was possessed by an angel in refuge, and two devils went to chase and kill it, and this matter was dealt with by him in the past, and the child spoke the words of Middle-earth at that time. In addition, ancient Babylon also sent envoys to ask for help, and they naturally spoke the language of the Xia Dynasty.
"Have you ever noticed that this man is not very enthusiastic about us? Fei Xuan said again.
"It could be due to a language barrier. Wu Dongfang said, Fei Xuan said that he was also aware of the situation, and although Buck showed kindness to them, he did not show a warm welcome.
"He doesn't seem to like us meddling in their affairs. The sound of frost hunting came from the left.
This time Wu Dongfang didn't answer immediately, yesterday they found that Buck was injured and wanted to help him kill the two snake spirits, but Buck refused their help, took the injury and killed the two snake spirits.
Buck did this, it is not ruled out that he did it out of self-esteem and a sense of honor, but there is another possibility, that is, he doesn't want outsiders to interfere in their affairs, Buck and Feather People should belong to two systems, they are invited by Feather People, and Buck and his companions may not approve of Feather People doing this.
As for the truth, we have to rush to the ground to find out.
Buck led the way in front, all the way north, and from time to time you could see cities and villages below, compared with Middle-earth, there are more cities and villages here, less jungles, the terrain is flatter than Middle-earth, there are more plains and mountains, and there are few mountains.
Moreover, the cities had not been damaged by the war, and the people and army could be seen from above preparing and arranging fortifications for the fortifications, indicating that the enemy was coming soon.
At noon, Buck began to accelerate, but fortunately, Fei Xuan had already advanced to Taixuan, and Wanzhang Fuyao could still keep up.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Buck was still flying north, and by this time the five had driven out at least 3,000 li, according to political and military considerations, the capital of a country is usually in the center of the country, according to this inference, the span of ancient Babylon from north to south was at least 5,000 to 6,000 li, which was much larger than the territory of the Xia Dynasty.
In the evening, Buck began to slow down, and a large city appeared in front of him, with a radius of more than three hundred miles, and in the center of the city, there was a huge structure suspended in the air......
