Waste Strong Foundation

Chapter 12 Strike While the Iron Is Hot

There is one and a half days left to turn in the task.

Fei Mingqiu originally planned to have a few more chats with the players before closing the "game" today, so as to enhance their relationship and strive to complete the task perfectly.

He asked Shang Yuan, although the debt repayment process cannot be terminated without President Cai’s key, but Shang Yuan can modify the "details", such as adjusting the judgment range of task acceptance and rewards and punishments - if he does well enough, the next task will come soon It will be later, and it will not be like this time, "the lion will open its mouth" as soon as it comes up, asking to find ten free laborers in the wild within two weeks.

Couldn't have been more unlucky.Fei Mingqiu firmly believed.

"Ah! Ho! Let! Everyone!" The child frowned, looking around vigilantly, and the bird pattern on the back of his hand became more and more vivid.

The players headed by Chen Yiheng still formed a tight circle, loudly commenting on the modeling level of this new "NPC".

Some jumped up and down to try to find an angle to take screenshots, and some made strange noises of "cooking, crooking, crooking" with new friends.

They suddenly realized that the language of the world where "Waste" is located is not Mandarin, at least not all of them.

NPCs can communicate in other languages!

It sounds a bit like a mixture of Wu dialect and Hokkien, and some tongue sounds like German.

As for the new NPC, the words are even more weird, as if there is a mouthful of phlegm in the throat, it is another language.

Good guy, just plot loudly.

Anyway, their socialist successors have suffered from being uneducated, and they can't understand it at all.

Conversely, this makes the world view of "Waste" more complex and well-thought-out.

Self-created multiple languages, master planning F awesome!

The laughter and naked stares of the players made the scrawny child feel agitated. He swallowed, clenched his bone dagger for self-defense, and growled at Fei Mingqiu, who seemed to be dressed most luxuriously. Twice, the half-worn linen vest was soaked with sweat.

Fei Mingqiu glanced at the task countdown on the watch, and decisively asked Alpha to issue a "service shutdown maintenance" notice.

The sudden appearance of the child is unknown, and it is very inconvenient to deal with the presence of players.

Fei Mingqiu had time to observe the appearance of this real native when the crowd scattered cursing.

The sparse yellow hair was tied in a small braid with a red dyed straw rope and hung down the back of the head.

She has a round face, round eyes, a red mole the size of a grain of rice on the tip of her nose, and blue mud that can prevent sun protection on both cheeks.

Judging from the jade bracelets on his hands and the totems on the back of his hands, he might be a priest, but he might be malnourished.

What's more... the local players from ancient China in 2021 seem to be unable to understand what the child said.

Also, for players, more than 4000 years have passed.

Language is always changing - Fei Mingqiu paused in his thoughts, subconsciously ignoring why he and Shang Yuan could still speak the so-called Mandarin.

Seeing that the other party was very nervous, he thought for a while, stretched out his hands, and took off his white hood to show that he did not have any weapons.

Unexpectedly, this action made the child's eyes widen, he threw the bone dagger aside tremblingly, and made a posture of hugging his head.

Alpha was very speechless, "Brother, did you have a childhood? You scared him! 'Pretend like the wind, always with me.' Have you heard it?"

Fei Mingqiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and under the urging of some evil thoughts, he pressed Alpha's dull hair, and pushed the round panda over.

"Ah! Everyone!" Seeing the extremely ferocious iron-eating beast in the clan's population rolling over, the child rolled his eyes - fainted.

Qi You had a brief nightmare.

He followed the high priest slowly towards the old chief's stone altar, something beating his brain.

The cobblestone path was lined with well-dressed warriors and craftsmen. He didn't dare to make a sound, but he couldn't help turning his head to look!

It's an iron eater!One bite is enough to kill a piglet and pull out the intestines, heart and lungs of the iron-eating beast!

"Ah!" Qi You yelled, opened his eyes suddenly, and found that he was lying on a smooth and warm light brown wooden board. The wounds on his hands had been cleaned, even, even including that he was burned by the high priest with holy fire half a year ago. Broken little finger of right foot.

A fresh fragrance lingers around the body.He turned his face away, and saw the linen vest and linen shorts that had been washed, with four strings of bracelets on it.

The long wooden boards inlaid on the wall creaked, and someone walked in quickly, breathing slightly stagnant, and asked softly:

"Are you awake? Is the wound serious?"

Qi You was so frightened that his hairs stood on end, he plopped up and knelt on the floor, showing his thin back, "Don't kill me! I'm useful!"

Fei Mingqiu carefully listened to Alpha's translated text coming from the earphone, and at the same time said in the other party's language not very fluently:

"Are you from here? I took your home, but I didn't mean it."

Qi You nodded, then quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "Let you! Let you! I'll go! I—"

He heard a rumbling sound in his stomach, blushed and paled, and put his hands together on his forehead, as if in a gesture of apology.

The High Priest admired his bestial instincts most.

And his intuition told him that the young man who was as beautiful and noble as a god in front of him was a terrifying evil ghost.

Fei Mingqiu rubbed the center of his eyebrows, turned sideways and said to Shang Yuan who was sitting in the kitchen, "How about we eat some more with him?"

Qi You didn't understand, but at the same time he felt that this strange language that seemed to come from the gods was in the same line as the language of their clan.

……

Oven-dried wild boar has a honey-red color, dipped in salt and honey, and served with a glass of hot water in a clear crystal cup.

Qi You's tongue brushed his teeth, and he couldn't help silently confessing to the high priest:

Father, I really shouldn't eat what the devil gives me, but I'm too hungry right now, and I can't resist with death.

After repenting in a decent manner, he immediately abandoned his maturity and cunning, chewed the hot wild pork, and ate it rudely and seriously.

He was only ten years old, and he was rarely qualified to share the best parts of wild boars, so he even wiped off the meat scraps with his fingers and ate them clean.

The man who sat by the wall with his head propped up and read a book of gray and white bricks said something.

Soon, the juvenile iron eater that had once scared him came to clean the table angrily with cloth and water.

Qi You fell silent, suspecting that he was dead.

Because the place is so bright and gorgeous that it is not like the world, and the young man sitting opposite him is so calm and noble, yet mysterious and dangerous.

He stared enviously at the white cloak on the young man who called himself "Autumn".

How much paint and weaving wheels should be spent on this piece of clothing alone.

Are the two thousand female weavers in Wangcheng enough?Should not be enough.It also has beautiful ombre and embroidery on it!

"Why did you come?" The young man adjusted his sitting posture and asked him lightly.

Qi You didn't dare to wonder why the other party had almost learned their language in just half a day, and replied cautiously:

"I am a priest of the Qi clan. I, I got separated from my clan, and I want to come back to find something. Don't worry, my lord, let me go back to the earth. When I restore the glory of our clan, I will I worship you as devoutly as I sacrifice to Nuwa."

Nuwa?

The legendary goddess of creation who made people out of clay?

Fei Mingqiu thought of the portrait of a woman with a human face and a snake body seen on the dome of a large building, "Scattered? Why did you leave?"

Lies are hard to sustain.

Qi You already regarded Fei Mingqiu as a god of a foreign race, but the old priest told him that there are only good gods and bad gods in the world, as long as they are good gods, he should serve them respectfully, so as not to lose the main god of the clan face.He sucked his nose, choked up and said:

"My lord, we didn't leave voluntarily. At least, my father and I, the high priest, don't want to leave here."

Shang Yuan, who was distracted to pay attention to the movement here, coughed twice, and skillfully turned down the volume of the earphones.

Before Fei Mingqiu could ask, a loud cry pierced through his eardrums, and his mind was instantly filled with flickering white noise.

He took off his earphones and glared at Shang Yuan dejectedly.

Shang Yuan didn't know what he thought of, and smiled lazily at him, with light and shadow overflowing from his eyes and the bridge of his nose.

Qi You shouted: "The place far away from our three mountains is the territory of the Xiong clan. They are a very powerful tribe. Our leader was deceived into thinking that he could join the Xiong clan and obtain more gods." Blessing. It’s not the leader’s fault, he is our only first-class fighter, he longs to become stronger and then protect us. So, we survived the winter, and the old man and the baby froze to death.”

Alpha: "Then, when spring came, your leader led the young and strong people to the Xiong clan to seek refuge."

"...Yes." Qi You was still not used to staring at the talking iron-eating beast, so he lowered his head and continued, "We went to Yanchi, the accompanying city of the Xiong family, where there are many black and white bears that look like adults' mounts. ——we were fooled, and the whole family became slaves."

Alpha, who was inexplicably downgraded and turned into a mount, snorted angrily, but he was hesitant to speak after receiving Shang Yuan's warning.

Fei Mingqiu: "Then you?"

"I am a priest, and I can talk to our god, so I should be executed. But I am not qualified this year. My father, the real high priest, was killed by their soldiers. I escaped under the protection of the leader and others. My lord, please let me go back to the earth, I can't enjoy happiness in your residence, I want to go back to find an egg of a blue bird. The blue bird is the main god I serve. Do you know it?"

Fei Mingqiu said ambiguously, "...maybe."

A happy gleam appeared on Qi You's face, "So it does exist, right? My father said that I will be able to see it in the future."

"Then what do you mean by the blue bird's egg?" Alpha asked impatiently.It is artificial intelligence, it represents the highest achievement of human wisdom in the entire interstellar, and it is the crystallization of science. However, at this moment, there is a little native who believes in mythical creatures from the bottom of his heart.

Qi You: "My grandfather discovered it while digging. My father did not support the leader's migration plan until they decided to leave that night. He quietly buried it under the stone slab in the center of the altar. With it, I can rebuild the clan!"

Rebuild the clan.

What a familiar target.

Fei Mingqiu and Shang Yuan raised their eyes to look at the pitifully thin Qi You at the same time.

"Hey, are you sure it's under the stone slab in the center of the altar?" Fei Mingqiu pressed his eyelids that started to twitch.

Qi You wiped away tears, "Well, yes! Even if I am alone, in ten or twenty years, I will definitely go back and save everyone."

From the perspective of pedagogy and child psychology, it is best not to easily hit the child's newly established confidence and courage.

The watch flickered.

Alpha skillfully held up the bear's paw as a gesture of love, then sighed skillfully and prepared to take over.

Fei Mingqiu's heart skipped a beat, and with a trembling right index finger, he clicked on the notification of the watch.

[New email from Alpha 1]

Shang Yuan, I believe you a ghost!

Your senior engineer license is fake, right? !

Fei Mingqiu rubbed his face, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, almost dismantled his brain-bound watch, and finally said quietly:

"I think I can help you.

"Of course, with equality and mutual assistance as the first principle, you will pay the corresponding price for what you get."

These two sentences, together with the setting sun passing through the translucent metal wall, illuminated Qi You's dark face.

His frightened heart clenched blood, like a shriveled red orange.

The author says:

The grammar of the Xia and Shang Dynasties should be an inverted structure of "Xiong You" and "Qi You". Many commonly used words, including adjectives, have not yet appeared, but they have been "tampered" for readability.I don’t know if you have heard the audio of the ancient sounds speculated by some modern scholars. Chinese characters are of course in the same line (even if you don’t have professional training, you can guess a few oracle bone inscriptions correctly). The pronunciation of more than 4000 years ago is completely different from today’s.rest tomorrow.
