Chapter 2: The City of Modo
Eventually, Guo learned the local indigenous language. For a top-notch professional. If you sincerely want to learn a language, you only need to touch the other person's soul with your soul, of course, provided that the other person is not a soul professional. Originally, Guo Twelve didn't want to learn this language, but he was moved by the old man and the child, so he couldn't help but touch the old man's soul.
When Guo Twelve said the other party's language jerkyly, the old man was startled. The little girl looked at Guo Twelve even more curiously, she didn't understand in her heart, she thought that Guo Twelve was from other places, but she didn't expect him to speak the local dialect.
The old man's name is Dita, which is translated by Guo Twelve according to the pronunciation, and the little girl's name is Aiyana. Guo Twelve knew very well in his heart that these ancestors and grandsons were just passers-by on his journey, and it would be impossible to have a handover after leaving. After a brief moment of communication, he knew that this was the border area of a country, and as for what country it was, he didn't bother to know.
What Guo Twelve wanted to know was where the nearest city was. Old man Dita said: "Modo City is the largest border city in our area. ”
I learned from Old Man Dita that the country is peaceful, there has been no war for hundreds of years, and due to the very good geographical environment and abundant resources, there is no threat from enemies. The armed forces of this country are relatively weak, the population does not like to fight, and the status of samurai in this country is very average.
In Guo Twelve's view, this is like a fantasy, he has experienced so many small worlds, he has lived in the world of spells for so long, force is everything, this concept has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and he suddenly came to a country that despises the existence of force, he is very surprised and strange, what kind of environment can this kind of country exist?
After the shock, Guo Twelve had a joy in his heart, this kind of peaceful country can make him less fighting, and he doesn't have to be nervous all day long. He couldn't help but want to communicate with the handsome old man.
"Handsome old man, there's no need to fight here, hehe. ”
The handsome old man said: "Not necessarily, the force is not strong or the status of the samurai is not high, it does not mean that force will not be used, but in the case of general weakness, a little higher force will meet the requirements, well, of course, with your current means, you don't have to care about their weak force." ”
Old man Dita said: "It takes about ten days to go to Modo City, and it is a long way to go......
Aiyana whispered, "Grandpa, I'm going to Modo City. ”
Old man Dita smiled and touched Ayana's little head and said, "In a little while, your parents will come to pick you up, they are very busy...... Not for a while. ”
Aiyana looked disappointed, her head bowed, her hands fiddling with her leather jacket.
Guo Twelve asked, "Aiyana's parents are in Modo City?"
Old Man Dita smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, they are in Modo City. Saying that, he quietly glanced at Guo Twelve and motioned to Guo Twelve not to ask again.
Guo Twelve nodded slightly, he understood that there must be something hidden in this, and said, "I'll leave here tomorrow, and I'll bother you today." ”
In the evening, Old Man Dita quietly found Guo Twelve, who was walking outside, and said, "Mr. Guo, there is something I want to discuss with you. ”
Guo 12 said, "Please speak." ”
Old man Dita said, "I want to take Aiyana to Modo City, and if it's convenient, I'd like to go with you." ”
Guo Twelve hesitated, he was going to Moduo City, if he was flying, it would take less than half a day at most, and if he was walking with the old man, then he would have to walk for more than ten days. He asked, "How did you go to Modo City in the past?"
Old man Dita said: "In the past, we used to go in groups, but recently no one has been to Modo City, and the road is ...... Well, it's not safe, and it's often a problem to encounter wild beasts, especially wild wolves, and it's much better if someone takes care of it. His eyes were full of pleading.
Guo Twelve suddenly felt that his heart had softened, and he asked, "What are you bringing Aiyana...... Is it to find her parents?"
Old man Dita sighed and said, "I'm old, in case I don't work one day, Aiyana is still a child, alas, ......"
Guo Twelve Qi said: "Aren't her parents coming?"
Old man Dita smiled bitterly and said: "Aiyana is a girl...... "In this country, women have no status, and it is boys who are valued in the family, Aiyana is almost a child abandoned by her parents, if the old man does not take her to her parents, then she will not have a chance to get out of this small village."
Guo Twelve didn't understand at all, and he asked, "What's wrong with the girl?"
Old man Dita sighed: "Alas, girls ......" He shook his head, not knowing how to explain to Guo Twelve, and at the same time he was sure that the young man in front of him was not a local, because he did not know the local customs and folk feelings at all. But he didn't know why, he still trusted the other party very much in his heart, and he didn't have any doubts or hostility towards Guo Twelve.
Guo Twelve didn't ask anymore, he was just a little curious, and when he saw that the other party looked indescribable, he didn't continue to explore. He thought for a moment and said, "Okay, anyway, I'm going to Modo City, so let's go together." ”
The handsome old man whispered: "I have nothing to do...... With an old and a young, you have some annoyance. ”
Guo Twelve said: "Anyway, there is half a year or even a year, let's play slowly, maybe this time we can really enter the big world, at that time, everything in the small world is a memory, hehe, it is also meaningful to me to leave a little thing worth remembering." ”
The handsome old man said disdainfully: "......"
......
The next day, Old Man Dita brought a donkey. Guo Twelve couldn't help but wonder that there were donkeys in this place. The old man said: "We must have an animal, and we can't take anything to eat for ten days, without an animal to carry it." There are no food stalls and hotels on this road, so you have to solve it yourself. ”
Guo 12 said: "You don't need to bring too many things, I can hunt along the way." ”
The old man still packed a lot of bacon and millet, and the staple food here is millet or sorghum, which is not much, but there are also two packets, both pressed on the donkey. Old man Dita picked up Aiyana and put her on the donkey's back and said, "Let's go, it's a long way to go today." He led the donkey and walked out.
Aiyana was very happy, she was holding the candied fruit given by Guo Twelve in her hand, and she ate it with relish. Because she has lived with the old man Dita for a long time and has developed a habit of being taciturn, she rarely speaks, but sometimes shows a cute smile.
Guo Twelve liked this quiet little girl very much, and stuffed her with snacks from time to time, such as candied fruit, fruits, secret jerky, etc. He is also a foodie himself, plus the altar can store a lot of supplies, so he has a variety of snacks and snacks. Aiyana smiled with joy, she had never seen such a variety of snacks in her life.
Walking out of the village along the path, surrounded by scattered farmland, a sparse forest appeared. There is a lot of wasteland here, and the land is the least valuable. After walking for a long time, the three of them got on the road.
The road was very calm, the three of them talked and laughed, and they came to Modo City smoothly. This made Guo Twelve feel a little surprised in his heart, this place was indeed different from what he thought, not only were there no bandits and robbers, but even there were few beasts, no wonder the old man Dita dared to take his granddaughter to Modo City for more than ten days.
Guo Twelve rarely enjoyed a peaceful journey, no fighting, no danger, just laughter all the way, which gradually calmed his restless mind, and at that moment, his soul was uplifted. The handsome old man couldn't help but sigh, if he was still in the world of spells, he could help the structure surpass the nine-story altar, but in the other world, this became a luxury.
Moduo City is a bit like the ancient city of Guo XII's previous life, and the buildings here, except for the lack of city walls, are all very chic brick houses, with waterways extending in all directions and various stone bridges. In the streets along the river, there were a few rich people dressed in silk, but most of them were dressed in sackcloth and various leather jackets.
As in the world of spells, there are no tech items. Guo Twelve had a feeling of time and space transformation, as if he had returned to the earth, returned to the ancient times of the earth, and he had a sense of novelty.
There were no soldiers patrolling the city, and there seemed to be no army soldiers, and the streets were bustling with people, but they seemed peaceful. However, everyone who saw Guo Twelve showed a trace of surprise in their eyes, because his clothes were so gorgeous that not long after entering the city, someone came up to talk to him.
A young man in a silk coat stood on the side of the road, and behind him, a man who looked like an attendant quickly blocked Guo Twelve's way, and said with a smile: "This master, please stay." ”
Guo Twelve asked lightly, "Is there something wrong?"
The man asked very respectfully, "My young master wants to meet you, I don't know...... Okay?"
Guo Twelve was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't move, nodded and said, "Okay, is your young master that person?" The attendant nodded again and again. Guo Twelve said to the old man Dita: "Dita, you take Aiyana to meet her parents, well, where do you live? ”
Old man Dita gave Guo 12 the address, and then led the donkey and left with Aiana. Since arriving in Modo City, the old man Dita has been worried, so he didn't care much about Guo Twelve's departure, leaving the address was just a habitual entertainment move, and he didn't think that Guo Twelve would go to him.
After seeing Old Man Dita and Ayana leave, Guo Twelve said to the attendant, "Go and meet your young master." ”
The so-called young master is just Guo Twelve's translation, this person wears more exquisite clothes than most people walking on the street, and the appearance is very good, in Guo Twelve's opinion, this person is a little handsome guy, and his attitude is also very gentle and polite, which makes Guo Twelve quite good. Because he has experienced many small worlds, there are very few people who are kind to him, and it is rare to see a friendly person, Guo Twelve's mood can't help but improve, no one wants to be inexplicably hostile.
