At this moment, Huang Donglai obviously spoke English to Tyrell with the mentality of "it doesn't cost anything to try anyway".
Although he didn’t know where the black uncle in front of him came from, what his native language was, and he didn’t know whether the English in this world and era was the same as that in his original world, but considering that English is the only He had mastered so little of a foreign language, so he could only try it in English.
"What did you say?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Brother Huang finished speaking, Tyrell suddenly jumped up, rushed to the edge of the iron cage, and pressed his face against the cage. He responded to the railing.
This time, Huang Donglai felt weak...
Because his English level is relatively poor, he can chat with others simply... such as what is his name and how old he is. He was okay with things like how old he was, where he came from, etc., but if he really wanted to have a more in-depth conversation in English with someone, he couldn't do it.
Now that the other party asked such a question, Huang Donglai began to mutter in his heart: "Is it because I didn't pronounce the sentence correctly just now? He didn't hear it clearly?"
But in fact... …That’s not the case.
It wasn't that Tyrell didn't understand Huang Donglai's question just now, but he couldn't believe that there was actually a "man from the country" speaking English to him in front of him.
For Tyrell, being able to suddenly hear such a familiar language in a foreign country was like thunder on a sunny day, so he looked at Huang Donglai as if he had seen a life-saving straw. , eyes full of excitement and expectation.
Huang Donglai was so stared at that his scalp went numb, but when he looked back, he saw that there were only four Zhaochao people and one Zhangyu around him, so he had no choice but to continue on by himself.
"I...said...what'syourname?" Huang Donglai spoke very slowly this time, mainly because he was not sure whether his grammar and pronunciation were correct or accurate.
"Myname is Tyrael! Ohgod! youcanspeakEnglish!" Now Tyrael was sure that the other party was really communicating with him in English.
Then...he cried.
While Tyrell was crying, he was talking in vague English about all the things he had encountered and all the hardships he had suffered along the way. Thinking that God had blessed him today and allowed him to meet an English-speaking person here. This must be a miracle sent by God...blablabla...
Everyone, some people will find it strange when they see this. : Can the black uncles of this era speak English? And you still believe in God?
I need to explain a little here. In this parallel universe, the historical process of each country is similar to the history we are familiar with, but different - some events are advanced, and some events are delayed. , and some didn’t happen at all.
The previous article mentioned that the king of Shuangxue isThe dynasty lasted for more than three hundred years, so the era corresponding to the "Twenty Years of Yongtai" was almost the end of the seventeenth century.
At that time, the Europeans' evil "triangular trade" had been going on for more than a hundred years, and countless black slaves had already flowed to Europe and the American continent.
This "Tyrrell", in fact, you can tell from his name. He is definitely not a native who was just captured from Africa, because the names of real African natives are... You may not even be able to understand the basics of ventriloquism.
Tyrrell is the third generation descendant of European black slaves. Before he was exiled to Dashu, the "master" he followed was a strange man with a very special identity and ability. A "master" did not treat Tyrell as a slave, but as a "servant" or even a "partner", and Tyrell also became a Catholic under the influence of his master. .
Of course, we won’t go into detail about the story of Tyrell and his master here, and we will tell it later when the book “Double Harmony Makes a Trouble in Castlevania”.
Back to the present...
Huang Dong came to see Tyrell and chatted a lot. With his English level, he naturally couldn't keep up, so he waited a little longer. When the other party calmed down a little, he interrupted: "OKOK...STOP!"
When Tyrell was shouted at by him, he obediently shut up.
Then, Huang Donglai pointed at himself and said: "Me, english, just little, you understand?"
Don't say anything yet, because he already understands Chinese, Tai Tyrell really understood the meaning of Huang Donglai's words, which also made Tyrell a little disappointed, because he thought he had met someone who could communicate with him without any barriers, but he didn't expect that the other person only knew a little bit of English.
But Tyrell then thought again, no matter what, knowing a little is better than not knowing at all. Anyway, he can speak a little Chinese, and the two parties should be able to communicate by talking and gesticulating.
So, Tyrell thought for a few seconds, pointed at himself, and said: "I, I know how to speak, do you understand?"
Everyone next to him asked. Listen, this black uncle can actually say a few words to us, so that will be a lot easier... right?
To make a long story short, after a ten-minute conversation that was similar to a "patient communication", Huang Donglai roughly learned that Tyrell was thirty-seven years old and originally lived in Eastern Europe with his owner. Something went wrong at sea, and later he encountered pirates. After changing hands several times, he was finally sold to Dashu from the Fujian area.
After hearing Huang Dong say the name "Tyrrell", Sun Yihe and Jiang Muchan also remembered the iron plate they had obtained from Shi Xuanzi. It was kept in Brother Sun's luggage. They took it out and showed it to Tyrell. Tyrell said a lot of things they didn't understand, but it didn't matter. He was nothing more thanIt’s just talking about the origin of this brand.
This iron plate was carved by the last batch of pirates who dealt with Tyrell, because these pirates found that Tyrell was obviously different from other slaves. Not only was he tall and strong, , and received cultural education, not only knew Western writing, but also recognized many artifacts that the pirates may not recognize...
The pirates felt that this guy could definitely be sold at a high price, so in order to combine him with To distinguish them from other slaves (in the eyes of people at that time, black people all looked the same, and it was easy to get confused just by looking at their appearance), they carved this iron plate, burned it red and burned it on his back. a mark.
"Brother Huang, what should we do now? We can't take him on the road, right?" Qin Feng is the most conservative among the six, so he is quite concerned about taking such a black brother with him. for worry.
"Indeed, this... uh... Brother Tai is too eye-catching. It will be a bit inconvenient to carry him around, right?" Jiang Muchan also answered.
"Having said that, we can't leave him alone." Huang Donglai said.
What Huang Donglai said makes sense. Even if he says "you free, you cango" to Tyrell now, Tyrell will never leave because he has nowhere to go.
When a foreigner like Tyrell, who doesn’t speak the same language and has a different appearance, walks on the land of Dazu, he encounters people, either they are scared away by him, or he is caught by others. Or kill him, there is no other possibility... Unless Tyrell can walk all the way back to Europe and find his original home, Huang Donglai and others will be his only support.
"Brother Huang, how about we turn back now and let him live in your house first? After we go to Guangzhou to finish the business, we will consider how to deal with him?" Sun Yixie suggested at this time road.
Can Huang Donglai not know what kind of medicine Sun Yixie sells in his gourd? When he heard this, he snorted coldly: "Hmph... When our business in Guangzhou is over, you can go to Hangzhou and return." Doesn't it mean that you just leave it all to me?"
"Tsk... Oh, there's nothing we can do about it." Seeing that his evil idea was exposed instantly, Sun Yixie started to laugh loudly.
"Mao!" The next second, Huang Donglai also raised the issue, "Why don't we just take him with us? Isn't it just a bit ostentatious? The six of us will not be ostentatious when we go out?" Sun, tell me, did you see Uncle Hei being a little panicked?"
"Get out! What's wrong with me?" Sun Yixie was aroused by this provocation. At that time, he ran up to Tyrell and said, "You, followus, together, goto Guangzhou, understand your life?"
Tyrell naturally listened to his messy words. He didn't understand, so Tyrell immediately turned his head and looked at Huang Donglai with a "begging for translation" look.
"Why are you looking at him?" But Sun Yixie immediately reached out and pulled Tyrell's face back, saying, "Just listen to me, Isaidthecalculation! "
Tyrell looked at Brother Sun and seemed to understand something from his expression and tone. Then he nodded and replied in Chinese: "Okay. ”
When the other people saw this, they didn’t say much. After all, this “Hunyuan Star Gate” was decided by Shuangxie; besides... Huang Dong was right. The people themselves are quite eye-catching.
In this way, the group of six people became a group of seven people.
After confirming that Tyrell can also ride a horse. , everyone tied a horse left by the bandit to him, and then continued towards Guangzhou.
