Chapter 892: The Importance of Foreign Languages
On the side of the road where the truck was parked was a jungle, and the forest shimmered with a faint light.
The small mountain village is located at the foot of the mountain, and the artillery fire is rumbling in the distance, and the villagers are still living a primitive and simple life peacefully, without being shocked by the murderous war.
"Look there, there's a little village, and I suggest we rest in that little village tonight, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
"I agree. ”
"My brother-in-law is right, safety is paramount. ”
Several people all agreed with Qin Guanxi, and the rumbling cannons in the distance also shocked them, and the bold Qiao Silong and Li Haotian did not dare to venture in, Li Haotian knew that war was not like gang fighting, and it would kill people in minutes, and Qiao Silong, who had experienced the cruelty of war, knew that war could not be a child's play, so it was right not to rush forward.
"Okay, that's it, let's go to that little village and rest for the night. Qin Guanxi walked to the brightly lit village under the order, the village was not far from the road, and a few people followed the field road, and they arrived at the village in a short time.
The houses in the village were closed, and only a small number of villagers who were so bold that they dared to turn on the lights in the sound of artillery fire, and it was this faint light that pointed Qin Guanxi here.
Since it is a nightstay, you have to show some sincerity to stay overnight, Qin Guanxi beckoned Qiao Silong and Li Haotian, and said: "You two take out all the cash on your body, just now I gave all my cash to the officer, you can't go empty-handed when you go to someone else's house to spend the night." ”
"Oh oh..."The two fools rummaged through their pockets to find money, and after rummaging for a long time, the two took out a wad of banknotes, about more than 10,000, Qin Guanxi put all the money in his arms, waved his big hand, and said, "Let's go, try to find a family first." ”
There is a house with lights on at the entrance of the village, there is starlight in the dark, I see that the door of this house is closed, although the lights are on, there is no sound coming out, Qin Guanxi in the middle of the night can't let the two girls be frozen with him, he walked up and smashed the door, shouting at the top of his voice: "Is there anyone, fellow, is there anyone?"
Qin Guanxi knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came out, and the lights in the room were extinguished, Qin Guanxi retreated with an embarrassed face, "Let's try another one, this family may think that we are bad people and are unwilling to open the door." ”
In the middle of the night, there was still a cannon in the distance, and a person who spoke a foreign language knocked on the door, if it was Qin Guanxi who was the family, he would not have opened the door.
"Let me try...."Chen Tianjiao pushed Qin Guanxi away, stepped forward, knocked lightly on the wooden door three times, and said in Vietnamese: "Gur Lai Lai Ul Ji La..."
Qin Guanxi's eyes widened, and his eyes almost fell in surprise, Chen Tianjiao actually spoke South Vietnamese!
Isn't Chen Tianjiao an English teacher? Isn't her major in English, and when she was in Thailand, she could speak Thai and already impressed Qin Guanxi, and now when she heard that Chen Tianjiao spoke South Vietnamese very fluently, Qin Guanxi was even more stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Qin Guanxi really wanted to ask how many foreign languages Chen Tianjiao knew, even Nanyue, a language so remote that birds don't, Qin Guanxi was very suspicious that Chen Tianjiao knew hundreds of languages in the world.
What made Qin Guanxi even more speechless was that he knocked on the door for a long time just now and no one answered, but as soon as Chen Tianjiao opened his mouth, the lights in the village actually turned on again.
The footsteps became clearer and clearer, the deadbolt behind the wooden door was opened, and an old man with a wrinkled face walked out, the old man walked out of the wooden door with sarcasm and fear in his eyes, coughed, and talked for a long time, gesturing with his hands and feet.
The old man didn't understand what Qin Guanxi said, and like Qin Guanxi, Qiao Silong and Li Haotian couldn't understand what they were saying, several big men stared at each other, and the three stupid people just smirked and couldn't interject.
Chen Tianjiao said with a smile and a pleasant face for a long time, Qin Guanxi didn't know what Chen Tianjiao said, anyway, Chen Tianjiao said for a long time, the old man's face disappeared with vigilance, and he actually smiled.
After gesturing and saying a few more words, Chen Tianjiao turned around and took a step back and walked in front of Qin Guanxi, spread his palms and said, "What are you doing stupidly, give me the money, how can the host have to give people some accommodation fees." ”
"Huh?" Qin Guanxi was stunned, this is the end of the conversation?
The facts once again proved how important it is to master a foreign language, and without waiting for Qin Guanxi to sigh, Chen Tianjiao directly reached into Qin Guanxi's arms and took out a stack of banknotes, and then stuffed them all into the old man's hand without counting how much, and explained with a smile.
The old man took the banknote with joy, the brand-new Huaxia coin was so dazzling, the old man who had never seen so much money in his life hurriedly put away the money, the door opened, and he greeted Qin Guanxi and a few people with a smile on his face.
Money, once again proved that it is really a good thing, having money can really make ghosts grind, Chen Tianjiao's mouth is powerful, but if Qin Guanxi has no money, then the old man will definitely not invite a few of them in so politely.
Chen Tianjiao took the lead in walking into the small courtyard of the farmhouse, and after communicating with the old man for a long time, Chen Tianjiao also understood the basic situation.
"The old man said that they have three houses, one for himself, and two for his son's marriage, and now that his son is not at home, those two rooms can be used for us to live. Chen Tianjiao said as he pointed to the two empty tiled houses, which were the places where Qin Guanxi and they were going to be in a few nights.
"Okay, then you can tell the old man and say that we thank him for taking him in. "Qin Guanxi's courtesy is still indispensable.
Chen Tianjiao turned around and explained to the old man with a smile in South Vietnamese, and the old man squeezed the money in his hand tightly, pointing to the two empty houses, and said something excitedly.
The old man's voice trembled and explained for a long time, Qin Guanxi didn't understand a word, Chen Tianjiao nodded slowly after listening to the old man's words, and his face turned solemn.
After the old man left, Qin Guanxi pulled Chen Tianjiao aside and asked curiously, "Niu, what did the old man of Nanyue tell you just now, I don't think your face is right?"
"Hey..."Chen Tianjiao sighed and said: "The old man said that his son went to the army to fight, life and death are unknown, and he can redeem his son from the army with that money, so the old man thanked us again and again." ”
"That's the case...."Qin Guanxi nodded knowingly.
Chen Tianjiao's words still caused Qin Guanxi to think, Qin Guanxi was thinking about what the situation was like in South Vietnam, it was a matter of course for a young man to join the army to encircle the country, how could there be a saying that he would pay money to ransom people? Becoming a soldier is not a strong man, and if he doesn't want to do it, how can he still pay money to buy people from the army?
The language barrier is incomprehensible, and Qin Guanxi can't ask the old man for clarification even if he has doubts in his heart.
The place to live is solved, although the area of the two small houses is not large, three men and two women can also take a small rest in two places.
Qin Guanxi took Qiao Silong and Li Haotian to live in the side house, and Chen Tianjiao pulled Qing'er to live in the house on the side.
The three old men are crammed into one room, there is no bed or sofa, only hay all over the ground, fortunately, the three of Qin Guanxi are not noble sons with fine skin and tender meat, and it would be good for the rough old men to have a place to stay.
Sitting on the ground and leaning together, Qin Guanxi closed his eyes slightly, breathing steadily and fell into a deep sleep.
After a nap in the middle of the night, Qin Guanxi opened his eyes and got up as soon as it was dawn, after all, it was not very comfortable to sit on the ground and sleep, Qin Guanxi stood up and stretched his muscles, the sound of artillery fire in the distance had completely subsided, and it seemed that the battle outside should be over.
"Big Brother ....."
"Brother-in-law....."
Qiao Silong and Li Haotian didn't sleep very well in this situation, Qin Guanxi's movement of standing up woke up the two, and the two buddies patted their butts and stood up from the ground, waiting for Qin Guanxi's orders.
"The sound of the artillery has stopped, I guess the battle over there is either over, or the fire is out, let's go out and have a look after we have something to eat, if the war really stops, we will continue to set off, if it is still under the pretense that we will act again." ”
The two nodded in agreement with Qin Guanxi's words, and Li Haotian said: "Big brother, I'll contact the brothers here later, see if I can get in touch, if I do, I'll report our location to them, and let the brothers send someone to pick us up. ”
"Okay, you call right away. Qin Guanxi said, patted Qiao Silong on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, go find something to eat, it's important to fill your stomach." ”
"Okay...."Qiao Silong touched his shriveled stomach, licked his shriveled lips, and grinned: "I didn't eat last night, and I'm really a little hungry when you say that." ”
Qin Guanxi took the two of them to open the door and walked out, a smoke rose from the small courtyard of the farmhouse, and under the white smoke, Chen Tianjiao walked out of the kitchen wearing an apron with two small plates.
"You're up, eat something, I just made breakfast, just in time. Chen Tianjiao saw Qin Guanxi and a few people coming out, hurriedly put the small plate on the wooden table in the small courtyard, waved his hand and smiled to greet a few people.
Chen Tianjiao should be in a good mood this morning, with a smile on his face, not only did he make breakfast, but she even made breakfast for Qin Guanxi and a few people.
The woman is really a fickle animal, without waiting for Qin Guanxi to sigh, the aroma of the food on the table came to his nose, Qin Guanxi's stomach gurgled in protest, his index finger moved Qin Guanxi hurriedly jumped to the dining table, picked up an egg, peeled off the skin and swallowed it whole in his mouth.
The food on the table was simple, a plate of eggs, two plates of small pickles, a few small plates of mushrooms, greens, and a pot of millet porridge.
Natural and pollution-free food with Chen Tianjiao's exquisite cooking skills, Qin Guanxi is full of food and drink, Chen Tianjiao once again impressed Qin Guanxi today, Chen Tianjiao has never cooked anything when he lived together in Jiangnan Province before, Qin Guanxi also thought that Chen Tianjiao was born not to cook, now it seems that Chen Tianjiao not only can cook, but also makes it delicious, comparable to ingenuity.
