Struggle in Ancient Chapter 98

The people chatted for a while with Liao Tingyu, finally they were satisfied and let the man go.

The foreigner was already waiting nearby and almost fell asleep. Only then did he see the crowd gradually dispersed, and he imdiately cheered up, following their bullock cart at a distance.

“That man has been following us. Should we ask him what he wants to do?” Huang Zilan was very uncomfortable looking at the people behind him. The foreigner followed behind, and the group of them had beco the focus of everyone’s attention.

Liao Tingyu looked back, “I thought he had already joined his group. It’s probably because of the language barrier. Even if he joined the group, there was no one to translate for him. So, he relied on us. Do you want to say hello to him?”

Huang Zilan understood this man’s situation very well.

He really wanted to help this strange-looking man, but unfortunately, he couldn’t understand what was being said.

Liao Tingyu nodded and said to the person in front of him: “Old man, please wait a mont. I’ll call the man behind, and let’s go together.”

Even if the old man found out that the protagonist, they had been talking about for a long ti was actually present.

“This is what it should be. Let’s call that person!” the old man said.

The foreigner saw that the bullock cart suddenly stopped, and the two people walking in front also stopped. One of them who could understand what he was talking about turned his head and walked towards him.

He thought that because he followed them privately, they were disturbed, and it made them very embarrassed.

His very white face was filled with blood, and his whole body was red.

He bent down and bowed, chanting in his mouth.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I really didn’t an to follow you, and I couldn’t help it. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

Liao Tingyu helped the frightened foreigner and said: “It’s okay. Don’t be like this, I don’t mind. I ca here to invite you to co with us. Do you have a place to rest here? If so, I will send you there. If not, you can co with us.”

The foreigner burst into tears when he heard this. His situation was already settled. He was separated from the caravan. He didn’t know the words or the language, so he could only try his luck in the big county town every ti.

It would be best to et their caravan, or it would be very good to et soone like this who could understand his words.

It was a pity that he was not so lucky several tis before, and he traveled to many places.

If he were lucky, soone would give him a roof to rest on, but if he weren’t lucky, he could only hide in the corner of the alley to rest. He also had been treated as a monster and had stones thrown at him. All the hardships couldn’t be looked back upon.

“I don’t have a place to live yet. Please help . I need to find my caravan. I am lost with them,” the foreigner pleaded.

Because he hadn’t had a good rest and washed himself for a long ti, he had a strong sll on his body.

The foreigner was so excited that he grabbed Liao Tingyu’s arm and got so close that the sll hit his face.

“If we have anything to say, we’ll talk about it when we get to the place where we live. Now you need to wash up,” Liao Tingyu said.

“Oh yes, you are absolutely right, my na is Joseph.” Joseph also knew his current situation and let go of him very apologetically.

“Okay Joseph, please follow . We need to walk over quickly. I don’t want to be looked at like this,” Liao Tingyu said.

Joseph didn’t want to be watched either. It was his first ti running a business, and he encountered this kind of thing. It was an unforgettable experience.

.

Several people ca to the inn, and the old man asked his son to prepare toiletries for them, and they had a nice wash.

After spending the past two days sleeping in the open air, he felt that his head was greasy and his body felt uncomfortable.

Now after washing it, he felt like he was alive again.

Joseph also put on the clothes provided by the store, which were a bit short and looked a bit strange.

Liao Tingyu looked at Joseph who ca out, “Yes, it looks good. Do you want to co over for dinner?”

“Yes, thank you.” Joseph said, “I have eaten your food, and it tastes great.”

“The food here is different from yours, and the taste is different in every places. You can eat a little first to see if it suits you,” Liao Tingyu said.

Joseph nodded and looked at the waiter eagerly, who then turned to look at Liao Tingyu.

“Let’s bring so signature dishes and three bowls of rice, and bring so pancakes by the way.”

Huang Zilan was very curious about this Joseph.

“Ask him what their caravan is mainly about trading?”

“What? Don’t you want to do business with them?” Liao Tingyu asked.

“I’ve never seen one before. I just heard that foreigners’ caravans would bring so rare and expensive treasures. I wanted to see them,” Huang Zilan said.

Speaking of which, he was also very curious.

“Joseph, what’s your caravan’s business?” Liao Tingyu asked.

“We are mainly here to sell bottles, and we also sell wine. In fact, the wine here is better. I personally prefer to drink the wine here,” Joseph said.

“The wines here are spicier. What’s your drinking habit?”

“Yes, I think it tastes very good. But so of us can’t drink it, and they still prefer to drink our own wine. It’s the red kind. A very, very red wine.”

Liao Tingyu nodded understandingly. When it cos to wine, he still prefers fruit wine, especially the one made by Mother Deng’s, which had a very good color.

“Do you raise cows in your country?”

“They do, but they are different from your cows. Cows are white and black and can produce milk. They produce a lot of milk. The cows here don’t produce much milk.”

“Oh!” Liao Tingyu translated for Huang Zilan while talking to Joseph.

Huang Zilan was very curious: “What do white and black cows look like?”

“I guess it’s the sa as him. The skin color of their cows is different from ours. And if they produce more milk, it should be bigger in the body’s parts.” Liao Tingyu said.

“Where?” Huang Zilan muttered to himself before he realized what was happening, and his face turned red.

Fortunately, the waiter brought the rice and rescued him at this ti.

So embarrassing.

Joseph said thank you to the waiter.

Although he didn’t know what he ant, but he said it with a smile, it must be a good thing.

The waiter smiled and changed the gesture of please, and then closed the door to give them space.

He looked back a few more tis when he left.

Liao Tingyu introduced the dishes on this table to him, “This is braised fish, a little spicy, … This is pea soup, it tastes good, I drink it after the al.”

After all, it was because he didn’t learn the language well before, and he couldn’t describe so of it.

The two people vaguely guessed that they understood each other’s aning.

Well, another problem the chopsticks were really useless for Joseph, and there was no small spoon here. It was very laborious for Joseph to eat anything.

After working hard for a long ti without getting any results, he just dug a few mouthfuls of rice. The extrely aggrieved Joseph stared at Liao Tingyu.

These chopsticks were so simple, why couldn’t he use them even after using them for so long?

Liao Tingyu looked at such a big man holding a chopstick in his left and right hands.

“Let’s do this, you follow .” He taught Joseph to hold the chopsticks and he directly sticks the thing up like a speared fish and puts it in his mouth to eat.

“It’s really difficult to use this tableware,” Joseph said, “But this at and this dish are really delicious.”

“If it’s delicious, just eat more. There are so many here,” Liao Tingyu said.

“Please don’t worry. You can eat it too. Please don’t think too much about it, I’m still working hard to get used with this tableware.” Joseph said.

After the al, the three of them laid on bamboo chairs and bathed in the sunset.

“Right, where did you and your caravan separate? How can I help you?” Liao Tingyu asked.

“Are you willing to help ? Oh, I’ve t a good person. I am really lucky to et you,” Joseph said in surprise.

“When others are in trouble, since I can help, I should naturally lend a helping hand,” Liao Tingyu said.

“We were planning to trade in Yuecheng. I don’t know what happened. I just went hunting and got a little rabbit, and then I couldn’t find anyone.”

If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have caught it. Wouldn’t it be better to wait there and eat while the others went?

“Liao Tingyu, it’s really too miserable. I just watched that rabbit running and running, and I went to catch it. Why was I so stupid at the ti? I didn’t dare to follow him after he ran away.” Joseph was annoyed. said.

“You should have walked out of the direction not far from here. How long have you been separated? Will they wait for you in Yuecheng? If they want to wait for you, I will have soone send you there tomorrow. It will only take five days if it is faster.” Liao Tingyu comforted.

“They will wait for . I heard when I left that they will stay in Yuecheng for three months. I have only spent half a month now,” Joseph said.

“Okay, if we send soone to Yuecheng, with your appearance, it will be very easy to find your companions.” Liao Tingyu said.

“But I have no way to communicate with them, what should I do?” Joseph suddenly thought of a question, and he very much hoped that Liao Tingyu could help him.

“Why don’t you co with ? I’ll ask them to give you a few things. Our things are selling very well, and rich people are vying to buy them.” He took out a pigeon egg-sized ruby.

“I’ll give this to you. I didn’t give you any money. You gave

the food and accommodation. Consider it’s a gift.”

Liao Tingyu accepted it unceremoniously and gave it to Huang Zilan.

Huang Zilan saw such a red gem for the first ti and liked it very much.

“I accepted your gift, but if we go to Yuecheng, we can’t go together. We still have things to do, but I can help you,” Liao Tingyu said.

Joseph felt a little disappointed when he heard the first sentence, but he suddenly beca energetic after hearing it.

“You can write the word using your language and I will write the sa with my language. For example, if you write ‘I want to eat,’ I will also write my country’s language for you, ‘I want to eat,’ so you show them sothing, and they understand what it ans.”

It was the best of both worlds.

“Liao Tingyu, my God, you are so smart, thank you very much.” Joseph clapped his hands.

One of them wrote on the top and the other on the bottom. Huang Zilan supplented on the side.

“Also, you need to write down how to get there. And make a note that I can’t understand your language. Please draw a map for , or help

lead the way. Don’t forget about giving money.”

“Paying others.”

“Okay, I get it.”
