His expression softened a little, and he said, "The leaves are falling, you are here..."

Su Yeluo immediately interrupted him and said, "Master Wizard, our clan leader, Master Qisha, has already given me a name. My name is Su Yeluo, not Yeluo."

There is a difference in the pronunciation of "Su" and "Shu" in the standard language of the Beichen Empire.

However, in the dialect of Mulan City on Guiyuan Star, the pronunciations of "Su" and "Shu" are the same, without the retroflex sound.

Xia Chujian then discovered that the language spoken by these natives ten thousand years ago was standard Beichen language, which was almost the same as the standard Beichen language today.

But then she thought again, this is a simulation game, and the language settings are the same as in reality, which must be to make it easier for players to complete the game.

Imagine if the language spoken by humans ten thousand years ago was really used in the game, the system would have to provide each player with a language translator...

Xia Chujian complained in his heart, but his eyes were fixed on the old wizard with a white beard without blinking.

The wizard's expression was indeed a little distorted, but he quickly returned to normal and said kindly, "Your tribe now has a leader. That's great."

As he spoke, he looked at Xia Chujian and said, "Are you the new patriarch of the Qisha tribe, Qisha?"

Xia Chujian cupped his hands and said, "Qisha greets the wizard master."

The wizard raised his hand and stroked his long beard, nodded and said, "Hello, I am a wizard from the Changgeng tribe. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me."

Xia Chujian immediately said, "I just want to ask how the tribes here count their years."

The wizard paused as he stroked his beard and said, "You're asking how we keep track of time?"

Xia Chujian nodded: "Yes!"

The wizard smiled and said, "Sunrise and sunset, carving wood to tell time, and tying knots to record events."

"One day and one night, the hourglass will go through twelve rounds, each round will carve a mark on the wood, and every twelve rounds will be one day and one night."

"Thirty days and nights make one month."

"Twelve months makes a year."

"It goes on and on, forever and ever."

Xia Chujian thought, not bad.

She had learned this in school; it was early astronomical knowledge, so the calendar with twelve hours in a day, thirty days in a month, and twelve months in a year had already appeared in this era.

She breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at Su Yeluo and asked the wizard, "Do you know how old she is?"

The wizard glanced at Su Yeluo and said, "She was born sixteen years ago, the year the leaves fell. I was the one who delivered her myself."

After a pause, he continued, "I am...Su Yeluo's father."

Xia Chujian: “!!!”

But looking at Su Yeluo's indifferent look, it seemed that she had no special feelings about the word "father".

Xia Chujian asked curiously, "You are Su Yeluo's father, so why are you in the Changgeng tribe, while Su Yeluo is in the Qisha tribe?"

The wizard said, "Because Su Yeluo's mother is from the Seven Killings Tribe, here, children follow their mother's tribe to live."

Xia Chujian said he understood.

There is no model for marriage now. Everyone comes if they are compatible and leaves if they are not.

The wizard said again: "Su Yeluo's mother has passed away."

Xia Chujian looked at Su Yeluo and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Su Yeluo, it turns out you are already sixteen years old."

Su Yeluo was still a little sad when she heard the wizard talking about her mother.

But she couldn't understand what was said afterwards. She looked at her and the wizard blankly, not knowing what they were talking about.

The wizard sighed and said, "What's the use of knowing the age? People in our tribe rarely live to be eighteen years old."

"The average life expectancy here is only sixteen..."

"Many are born dead, and by the time they reach twenty they have to start looking for a place to be buried."

Xia Chujian was silent.

It turns out that Su Ye Luo is almost at the end of her life?

Xia Chujian knew that the living environment was harsh ten thousand years ago, but he didn't expect it to be this bad.

But all this has nothing to do with her.

She just wanted to get through it as soon as possible.

But in this situation where most people are ignorant, only the wizard is wise.

If she wants to pass the level, she still needs to talk more with the wizard to get more clues.

So Xia Chujian asked, "Why do people here have such short lifespans?"

"Is it due to disease, wild animals, natural disasters, or man-made disasters?"

The wizard walked out of the cabin, using a very straight wooden stick as a crutch.

He looked at the crooked shacks in the clearing in the woods ahead and sighed, "They all exist... but the worst of all are the wild beasts. To be more precise, they're sea monsters."

Xia Chujian suddenly remembered the monsters that crawled out from the bottom of the sea in the trailer.
