Chapter 278: Making Friends with Words, Provoking and Shouting (Part 1)
But our friends from Continent F were pleasantly surprised——
"Ah! You can speak our language!"
Jiang Fuyue first greeted everyone, and then gently reminded them to keep their voices down.
Soon, the carriage became quiet.
Huo Fanjin turned around hesitantly, staring at Jiang Fuyue blankly: "You...what are you talking about?"
Lin Shumo: "Arabic."
Although he can't speak or understand, he still has the ability to distinguish.
Ling Xuan shook his head: "More than that. Besides Arabic, there should be one or two other Semitic-Hamitic languages."
Jiang Fuyue raised her eyebrows and looked at him with some surprise.
Huo Fanjin was confused: "What is the Shan-Han language family?"
Ling Xuan: "Semito-Hamitic languages, also known as the Afro-Asiatic language family, are a major language family distributed in West Asia and North Africa. It contains 375 languages, including major languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Hausa, and Amharic. It is spoken by nearly 200 million people."
Huo Fanjin smacked his lips: Sorry, I’ve never heard of it.
"So what did the captain say just now?"
Ling Xuan spread his hands and said, "I only recognized Arabic."
"There are also Hebrew, Aramaic, Maltese and Amharic." Qin Libin adjusted his glasses and finally stopped talking on the phone.
Fang Canyang: "Teacher Qin, do you know all these languages?"
Qin Libin coughed: "...No."
"How do you know that?"
"Even if you've eaten pork, you've seen a pig run. These are Semitic languages, and they retain the strong stop consonant q. I studied them for a while."
So, Jiang Fuyue can say something that even Professor Qin, the physicist recognized as the most linguistically gifted at Q University, can't?
At this moment, Fang Canyang had only two words in his mind: awesome.
Huo Fanjin swallowed and said, "Captain, is there any language you don't know?"
Jiang Fuyue's mouth twitched. "There are over 5,600 languages used around the world, and I don't know many of them."
"Then what you just said..."
"They are just a few insignificant languages in the vast language system of Continent F."
"Ah? Are there other language systems in Continent F?"
"Of course, there are four language families in Continent F. The Afro-Hamitic language family is just one of them. The others are the Khoisan language family, the Niger-Congo language family, and the Nilo-Saharan language family..."
The rest of the journey was spent safely listening to Jiang Fuyue's popular science lectures.
"arrive!"
After getting off the bus, several friends from F Continent took the initiative to come forward and give Jiang Fuyue a big hug.
Huo Fanjin tugged at Fang Canyang's sleeve: "What are they talking about?"
"have no idea."
"Ask the guy next to you, stupid."
Fang Canyang said "oh" and turned to ask Lin Shumo.
Lin Shumo asked Qin Libin again.
The latter pondered for a moment: "The other party seems to be expressing gratitude..."
Huo Fanjin: "What are you thanking me for?" Did Jiang Fuyue ever help them?
Qin Libin: "Thank you for your respect for Fzhou culture and invite her to visit Fzhou."
"Has the captain agreed?"
"Say I'll go when I'm free."
"Oh." Huo Fanjin nodded and looked in that direction enviously.
It would be great if she could speak so many languages. Then, I began to be curious about what Jiang Fuyue’s brain was like.
How can there be such a smart person in the world?
Has she ever taken the elixir?
knock!
At three o'clock in the afternoon, teams from various countries arrived one after another and were divided into ten groups and ten routes for the tour. Each group had about 20 national teams and about a hundred people.
At first glance, it looks grand and majestic.
"Hey, friend, we meet again!" It was the friend from Continent F who was in the same car with me just now.
They were grouped together again.
Huo Fanjin squeezed to the front and could not hide his disappointment after seeing the group results.
Fang Canyang: "What's wrong with you?"
"No...why not arrange for us to be with the D country team?"
"Country D is the host country, and they arranged the groupings. They would definitely prefer to interact with European and American teams. Look, most of our group consists of Asian and African countries, with only Country F being assigned here."
The tour officially began at 3:30.
Fang Canyang turned into a photography maniac, holding up his mobile phone the whole time, wanting to capture every corner.
Lin Shumo and Ling Xuan were not very interested. After all, they had been here before, and nothing was new to them.
Huo Fanjin looked around, his mind obviously not on the scenery, but only on finding someone.
Yan Zhenfeng and Qin Libin, on the other hand, seemed more like real tourists who came to visit. They listened carefully to the explanations and took photos of each other.
As for Jiang Fuyue...
She was originally processing several urgent emails from Liu Jinzhong, when Jiang Xiaodi called her via video.
"Sister! So it's really daytime over there?" Jiang Xiaodi looked surprised.
He was now lying in bed with a bedside lamp on, which emitted a faint light, but it was still pitch black outside the window.
"You're not sleeping in the middle of the night and you're secretly playing with your phone?" Jiang Fuyue raised an eyebrow.
"No! I got up to go to the bathroom, and then I woke up and couldn't fall back asleep."
"Then... shall I take you on an online tour of Country D's Hanging Gardens and Open-Air Museum?"
"Okay, okay!" Jiang Xiaodi's eyes twinkled with joy, and his cheeks were rosy.
Next, Jiang Fuyue held up her phone, switched to the rear camera, put on headphones, and explained to Jiang Xiaodi while walking.
"This is called a cornflower, the national flower of Country D, and symbolizes the excellent character of the Germanic people. Legend has it that Queen Louise, the mother of Prussian Emperor William I, was forced to flee Berlin during a civil war. While fleeing, her car broke down. While waiting by the roadside with her two children, she discovered blue cornflowers blooming..."
The girl's voice was clear and calm, yet pleasant to the ear, like the summer wind and autumn dew, refreshing and pleasant.
Jiang Xiaodi listened intently, smacking his lips from time to time, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
Suddenly the camera shook, the picture turned upside down several times, and then fell to the ground with a clang.
"Sister?" Jiang Xiaodi suddenly became nervous, "What's wrong with you?"
Five seconds later, Jiang Fuyue's voice came from the other end: "It's okay."
She picked up her phone and said, "This concludes today's tour. You should go to bed."
"Okay..." Although Jiang Xiaodi felt regretful, he still hung up obediently, "Sister, come back soon. I will miss you."
Jiang Fuyue put away her phone, turned around, and looked at the burly boy with dazzling blond hair in front of her with an expressionless face.
Edmund rubbed his hands awkwardly. What...
He just wanted to pat her shoulder and call her, but he didn't expect to scare her and drop her phone.
"Sorry, I didn't know you were on the phone." He shrugged, but the smile on his face didn't look like an apology at all.
Jiang Fuyue turned around and was about to leave.
"Hey - wait a minute -" He caught up and stood in front.
Jiang Fuyue raised his eyes, his gaze dark and cold.
Edmund felt as if he had been thrown into ice water, and his hands and feet were cold.
He thought, she is actually a cold beauty.
"Why don't you speak?"
Jiang Fuyue gave him a look that said "you don't deserve it".
Edmund rubbed his chin, smiled, and then said in strangely pronounced Chinese: "Are you afraid that I will recognize you as Chinese?"
He found out everything. This girl was from the Chinese team and was said to be very strong.
Jiang Fuyue: "Get out of the way." She spoke in Chinese.
The words are clear and loud.
"Oh, you finally speak! Your pronunciation is so beautiful, and your voice is so clear. You are like the moon at night, cold but beautiful..." The young boy began to sing praises, thinking he looked very handsome.
It was as if he was reciting an English poem, with exaggerated movements and rich emotions.
Jiang Fuyue's mouth twitched: "Is there something wrong?"
"Oh, beautiful princess, you interrupted my confession..."
"What exactly do you want to do?" His patience ran out, and he spoke each word with emphasis.
Edmund put away his smile and ended what he called his "confession chant."
"Did you do that on purpose in the restaurant that day?" he asked. "You were just saying nonsense to avoid talking to me."
Jiang Fuyue: "What is it? What if it isn't?"
"If so, you are being rude; if not, please give me an explanation."
"Impolite?" Jiang Fuyue curled her lips. "We Chinese have an old saying: give others what you would have them do for you."
"Only one stroke? Changing the Wall God?" Edmund repeated in a strange voice. "What do you mean?"
"Understand it yourself." After saying that, he strode away.
"Hey!" Edmund shouted at her back, "Are you lying to me again?!"
Jiang Fuyue didn't even turn his head.
The boy continued: "I heard you're good at physics, but are you as good as me?! I will definitely win the gold medal—"
The only response he got was the girl's figure disappearing around the corner.
Edmund suddenly felt depressed. He didn't know there was a saying in Chinese -
A punch on cotton.
"Only one stroke? To change the city wall god?" He took out his phone and opened the translation app...
