Transform into a fairy girl

Chapter 843 The old lady who can write Chinese characters

"Ah~ don't lick there~" Ji Ran suddenly felt a wet and itchy feeling and quickly pushed the man away.

"Okay Honolulu, that's enough." At this time, the older old lady said to the strong man.

The serf man named Honolulu nodded and stepped aside.

Obviously, this elderly lady should be the parent of these serfs, or at least the person with the highest status among these serfs.

All the serfs respected the old lady very much, and she looked like a revered lady.

"Girl, where did you come from and why did you come to this manor?" the old lady looked at Ji Ran and asked.

Because the old lady spoke human language, even though she spoke clearly, Ji Ran still couldn't understand what she said.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you said." Ji Ran made a few gestures and said in Elvish.

"Don't you understand me?" the old lady looked at Ji Ran and asked.

"I don't understand, I don't understand the language here." Ji Ran gestured awkwardly. The biggest embarrassment was the language barrier.

Although Ji Ran still has human memories in her mind, the language in those memories seems to be a language called Mandarin. She can understand humans who speak Mandarin, but cannot understand humans who speak other dialects.

The old serf woman seemed to understand that it would be very troublesome for two people to communicate like that if they didn't understand each other's language.

However, the old lady did not give up. She felt that there was another way to try again. Even if the success rate was not high, it was still worth a try.

She took a wooden stick from the side, folded it in half, held half of it in her hand, and then began to draw shapes on the ground.

She first painted many mountains, then many forests, several rivers, and then a manor.

Although her drawing was not good, Ji Ran could vaguely see that what she drew was a map. Although the positions of the rivers in some places were wrong, the general trend was like this. Obviously, This old lady is not a simple old serf lady, she must have seen many things in the world.

"Girl, to the west from this pass is the territory of Lacacia. To the north from here, there is a vast forest. This is a forbidden area for humans. We are on the east side of the pass. This is our manor. We are here. , which direction are you coming from?" the old lady asked Ji Ran.

Ji Ran seemed to understand now that she might want to know where she came from.

Ji Ran immediately picked up another stick, drew a mark on the ground, and explained to the old lady, "I came from Lacassia in the west. I originally lived in the forest, but because I made a mistake, I just came here with my friends.”

Of course, the old serf lady could not understand everything, but she understood the most important thing. The beautiful and delicate girl in front of her came from the West. Maybe her hometown lived in the forest.

"Then why are you here?" the old lady said, drawing a question mark on the ground.

Ji Ran looked at the question mark and studied it awkwardly for a long time, not understanding what it meant.

The old lady explained for a long time, but she didn't understand. Finally, in desperation, the old lady actually started writing.

"I asked you why you came here"

Watching the old lady write

Ji Ran couldn't help but widen her eyes. It turned out that what she wrote was actually Chinese characters.

Although the pronunciation of the language here is different, the characters are exactly the same as the Chinese characters in memory, they are just traditional Chinese characters.

Ji Ran was surprised. She didn’t know why people here could write Chinese characters.

Are people all over the universe learning Chinese characters?

However, this is no longer important. As long as you can understand the text, you can almost communicate.

Ji Ran immediately wrote on the ground, "I came here with my friends because I made a mistake."

The old lady didn't expect Ji Ran to understand. After all, although the writing on the mainland has long been unified and all use traditional Chinese characters, the literacy rate has always been very low. Except for the children of the aristocracy, they have to learn writing from an early age. , few civilians are literate, especially women.

The old lady heard that Ji Ran came from the forest in the north of Lacassia, and thought that Ji Ran's parents were savages. Savages are a lower race of people, even lower than serfs.

Because civilians are the highest-ranking ordinary class on the mainland. Commoners pay taxes to the lords and enjoy the status of free citizens. Businessmen, craftsmen and farmers living in the city are all free citizens.

Under the free people were serfs. Although there was not much difference between serfs and slaves, serfs belonged to the nobility and manor owners. They were also serving the king, so they still had a certain status.

Although the savages did not have to live as slaves like serfs, nor did they have to pay taxes to their lords like free people, they were discriminated against and isolated from civilized society because they did not contribute to the country's nobility.

After being maliciously vilified by the nobles, the savages are regarded as beast-like existences by most humans. The nobles will not treat the savages as the same kind. Once they find the savages, they will kill them all and even cruelly eat their meat. Share food.

The savages do not have any means of living and are isolated from human civilization. Therefore, most of the savages do not understand human language, let alone literacy.

Because of this understanding, the old lady did not expect Ji Ran to understand what she wrote. However, when Ji Ran replied in simplified Chinese characters, the old lady was naturally surprised and surprised.

"You can actually understand our language," the old lady wrote again.

"Yes, I can understand." Ji Ran wrote back immediately.

"God, it's so amazing that you can actually understand my words. You know, among the people here, I am the only one who can write, and none of them can." The old lady erased the previous words and continued to write.

"Grandma, you are so awesome." Ji Ran praised.

"Child, who taught you how to read? If you weren't a noble, how could you know how to read?" the old lady asked strangely.

"I haven't studied it, it's just in my head." Ji Ran pointed to his head and wrote back.

"It's amazing. You are just like a princess. It's a pity that your fate is not good enough and you end up here with us." The old lady wrote, her eyes suddenly became sad.

"Grandma, what's wrong? Are you having a hard time?" Ji Ran wrote and asked.

"Yes, life here is simply hell. I live in darkness every day, but I can't resist. I feel like my life is being overdrawn little by little, but there is nothing I can do about it." The old lady sighed as she wrote.
