Chapter 23 Have you eaten?

There was no time before, and Lombard appeared just a few minutes after Dong Chen woke up, interrupting him to check the indoor environment.

Now Lombard has left, and Dong Chen is in a spirit and can't hear other people's voices, and he can't continue to compare and translate language and actions, so he finally has time to view the room openly.

Dong Chen first checked his backpack. The things inside did not decrease, and no fingerprints of others were found on the items, which improved Dong Chen's impression of this barbarian tribe a little more.

Judging from the situation when I went out for a walk just now, the people in this tribe have come into contact with humans that are similar to them, and the relationship between the two parties should be pretty good, otherwise they would not have picked them up.

On the other hand, I just met the elder of the tribe. Looking at his white hair and Lombard's respectful attitude, he should not be the leader of the tribe, but rather a position like a grand clan leader, a great elder, a great shaman, etc.

However, Lombard did not take him to see the leader, but went to see this person. Perhaps because this tribe did not have the position of leader, or the elder worked as the leader part-time. Anyway, the barbarian elder should be a very important person in this tribe, and the decision on many things is in his hands.

Moreover, Dong Chen also caught a glimpse of the other party having a bookshelf and a desk with many books on it.

Books are good things, representing knowledge.

And the fact that knowledge can be passed on to such primitive tribes in the form of books shows two possibilities.

First, this world attaches great importance to the dissemination of knowledge, so even books exist in primitive tribes.

Second, this tribe should be not far from a large city, so there are so many books here.

Combined with the people here who have seen humans similar to themselves, Dong Chen feels that the second possibility is greater, and they should communicate with the outside world from time to time.

To be honest, Dong Chen wanted to read those books, but he thought that he couldn't even speak, let alone recognize words, so he gave up.

And I am not familiar with others at all, so why should I let myself read?

"Oh," Dong Chen sighed, "It's better to learn to speak first. Only when you learn to speak can you communicate with the people here and understand the situation here."

After thinking about the old man’s desk, then looking at the messy table in front of him, Dong Chen shook his head and said, “This is too messy.”

But I picked up a piece of wood on it and looked at it, and found that there were knife marks on it, which felt like it had been carved. Then I looked at the table and there were indeed a few simple tool knives scattered on it.

After looking at the piece of wood again, Dong Chen suddenly found it very familiar, "This style and carving technique seem to be very similar to the piece of wood carving we found on the beach. What do you think? Tian Shu."

When Tianshu heard this, he analyzed the wood in front of him and said, "Yes, sir, after trace identification, these two inferior wood carvings should have been made by one person."

"According to the existing conditions, it should be Mr. Lombard of the barbarians."

"That's right," Dong Chen took out the wood carving he picked up from his backpack and compared it with it. It felt like it was quite the same. Although this new piece was an unfinished work, you can see at a glance that it was carved by a man.

"I didn't expect that Lombard, who saved me, was actually an artist. So the one he wanted to carve should be the barbarians, but he didn't seem to have any artistic cells."

Dong Chen held the statue and pondered, "It just so happened that I have the skills in this area. Should I teach him? Is it close to him?"

"Lombal is a barbarian I met after all, and he was the one who picked me up from the wilderness. It feels quite easy to get along with."

"What about your opinion, the Book of Heaven?"

"Sir, I suggest that you first improve the language translation system of the barbarians and learn the language of the barbarians so that you can communicate better with the other party." Tianshu suggested.

"Yes, a pertinent suggestion," Dong Chen glanced at the room a few more times, found nothing worth noting, and then walked out of the room again.

When Lombard left, he did not close the door, which means he was not confined. Although he didn't know if he could walk around the tribe, he felt that it was okay to walk around Lombard's house.

Lombal's room was close to the trunk wall, but it was not close to it. There were even closer than him, so Dong Chen turned there.

He asked Tianshu to open the collection and analysis system throughout the whole process. He turned around Lombard's house against the curious or commonplace eyes of the barbarians. On the way, there were a few children who were idle and had nothing to do.

They were talking in a gusto behind them about what Dong Chen couldn't understand, which could be considered as adding some phonetic material to Tianshu.

After walking along the wooden wall for a while, after turning a few bends, Dong Chen saw a small river, "Tianshu, this small river is the one we have been following, right?"

"Yes, sir," Tianshu showed a winding map in front of Dong Chen, "After you fell asleep 3 hours and 41 minutes ago, Mr. Lombard discovered you, and then the route they returned to the camp was along this small river."

"Sure enough, the gathering place of civilization is near the river."

"Although this river is not big, it is enough for this tribe's daily use, and it is a very good place."

Dong Chen looked around and found that some barbarian women were cleaning vegetables and meat by the river, and some were fetching water back. After looking at the time, he knew that he was preparing for dinner, so he turned around and walked back.

Although it wasn't when Lombard would come back, the tribe had already started preparing supper. It was probably that he was about to come back, so Dong Chen planned to return.

Since you live in other people's homes, especially when both parties are unable to communicate, it is better to be more stable.

During this round trip, Dong Chen did not take the same route, but was slightly different under the guidance of the Tianshu route, in order to see more dialogue scenes and collect more information.

When Dong Chen returned to Lombard's house, Xiao Hei was still sleeping. If he hadn't heard its "gul~gul~" sleeping sound, Dong Chen would have thought it had hung up.

But it’s good to be quiet for a while, because Dong Chen happened to have something to do.

"Dao Shu, have you finished sorting out?" Dong Chen sat on the bed and asked.

"The first batch of language analysis information has been sorted out and can be transmitted at any time, sir."

"That's good, start the transmission. I want to know what they are talking about as soon as possible, even if it's just a part." Dong Chen nodded and agreed.

"Sir, please take two transmission enhancement devices on the smart bracelet and stick them on your temples, and then keep them relaxed."

When Dong Chen heard this, he saw two high-tech patches as big as fingernails popping up on the smart bracelet, which was the transmission enhancement device. He picked it up with his right hand and put it on the two temples.

"Sir, the signal transmission begins."

As soon as Tianshu finished speaking, Dong Chen felt a heat on both temples, and then he felt something more in his mind, which was part of the barbarian language compiled by Tianshu.

Although because of the fact that I have been exposed to less, these languages ​​only have some translations of words, it is enough for Dong Chen to listen or say part of them.

Since there is not much information, the transmission will be completed in a few seconds, and there is no pressure on Dong Chen's brain.

This is another reason why Dong Chen chose to transmit in small quantities.

After Dong Chen packed up his things, Lombard came back, carrying a large wooden board made of thick wooden boards on his shoulders.

Seeing that Lombard was back, Dong Chen organized a few words he had just learned and knew very little, and then said something like a fool.
Chapter completed!
