Chapter 514: Being Illiterate
Su Wan had a terrifying dream. She dreamed that she and Jiang Xuecheng had been blown up by a bomb together, and their bodies were torn apart.
“Xuecheng! No!”
Su Wan panted heavily. She opened her eyes suddenly and saw an unfamiliar face.
It was a boy who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old. He was thin and small, and his skin was dark and rough. Only his black and white eyes were astonishingly bright.
Between his childish eyebrows, there was a sense of misfortune that did not belong to this age.
From Su Wan’s perspective, this child was rather shriveled. Could it be that he did not have enough nutrition?
Su Wan quickly waved at the little boy. “Did you save me?”
The boy was originally in a daze. When he saw that Su Wan had woken up, his pupils suddenly dilated and an uncontrollable smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
This smile dispelled the mature look on the boy’s face, revealing the naivety of a normal child.
The boy talked to Su Wan for a while, but Su Wan could not understand a single word. She could only stare at him.
What was going on?
Su Wan wanted to ask where Jiang Xuecheng was, but she did not know how to say it in a language she could not understand!
Luo Yi was shocked when he saw that Su Wan could not speak the interstellar language. He quickly found a screen board and a pen and gestured for Su Wan to write on it.
Su Wan frowned. She looked at the screen board and pen made of some unknown material and was secretly amazed.
After writing a few Chinese characters, she saw that the boy was still confused and felt extremely frustrated.
Su Wan had no choice but to use a pen to draw on the screen. After all, Su Wan did not have any talent in drawing. It was really difficult for her to draw Jiang Xuecheng.
She barely drew the outline of a man on the screen. After drawing, she used body language to ask Luo Yi if he had seen this man when they were at the garbage dump.
After a lot of difficult communication, Luo Yi finally understood what Su Wan meant. He shook his head decisively.
Luo Yi pressed a button, and the screen was empty again. He reached out his hand to ask Su Wan if she wanted to ask something else.
Su Wan looked at the simple layout of the place. She felt very strange and felt that something was wrong.
However, she could not tell what exactly was wrong.
At this moment, the curtain of the inner room was lifted.
Su Wan heard footsteps. She looked up and saw a woman in her forties. Her legs were weak and her left leg seemed to be slightly lame.
This woman was the same as the boy from before. Her skin was dark and rough, but from her facial features, it was obvious that she was Asian.
When she saw Su Wan, she immediately ran over excitedly, her eyes showing some unusual excitement and respect.
The middle-aged woman anxiously said a lot of things to Su Wan, but Su Wan still did not understand a single word. She could only smile and nod at her awkwardly to express her gratitude.
Luo Yi quickly pulled his mother and whispered to her to remind her.
“Mom, she doesn’t seem to speak the interstellar language.”
When Mama Luo heard Luo Yi’s words, she was completely stunned!
She had been thinking about how Su Wan would take out a sum of money to support the mother and son so that Luo Yi could have a good future. But what was going on now?!
Mama Luo took a deep breath. She stared at Luo Yi and pointed at Su Wan.
“Did her brain suffer a concussion and this woman suddenly lost her memory?”
Luo Yi shook his head. Based on his previous observation and his interaction with Su Wan’s paintings, he felt that Su Wan was very clear-headed and rational.
“It doesn’t look like she lost her memory.”
Mama Luo took a while to digest this matter.
Which daughter of a noble family didn’t speak the universal interstellar language? If this were to be known, she would laugh her head off, alright?!
Mama Luo looked at Su Wan with some annoyance. The previous deference had all disappeared, leaving only an unreconciled look.
Then this woman would become a troublemaker. She couldn’t possibly not have the money and still want them to feed her for nothing, right?!
…
After a day of recuperation, Su Wan’s body was finally able to come down and move around. She had been fed with an unknown reagent by Luo Yi, and her sense of hunger was greatly reduced.
When Su Wan realized that the people here did not need to eat, and only relied on nutrient reagents to survive, her expression immediately froze!
Later on, Su Wan found out that not everyone did not eat. It was just that Planet Allen had a severe shortage of resources, and even fresh water was rarely supplied. They could only rely on nutrient reagents and some compressed food to survive.
On rich and high-grade planets, there were many people who could afford to eat natural food and lead a more carefree life than on Earth.
Su Wan was not a stupid person. On the contrary, she was quite smart. When she realized that something was wrong, she immediately looked at her surroundings.
Then, Su Wan vaguely accepted an unbelievable piece of news.
She seemed to have transmigrated, and she seemed to have also transmigrated to the interstellar era that only existed in movies or novels, which was the very distant future.
Even though she was shocked, she had no choice but to digest this fact.
There were two most serious problems at the moment. One was about Jiang Xuecheng. Su Wan did not know if Jiang Xuecheng had time traveled with her. The other was about herself. How was she going to survive here?!
She had received a higher education on Earth, but now, she could not read a single word here. Moreover, she could not even speak basic language. It was equivalent to being illiterate!
Su Wan could see that the mother and son could temporarily take her in, so she thought that the most urgent question was whether Jiang Xuecheng was still alive!
As long as she was alive, there was hope.
She had kept her life well. The man whom she was deeply attached to should be fine, right?
Su Wan prayed for Jiang Xuecheng silently in her heart. Then, she begged Luo Yi to bring her back to the place where she was saved, so that she could find whether Jiang Xuecheng was still there or not.
When they arrived at the garbage dump, Su Wan saw the metal dumps that looked like small hills. She started to search frantically, but she was soon disappointed.
There was no trace of Jiang Xuecheng at all.
If Jiang Xuecheng was buried at the bottom of the metal dumps, she was afraid that he would not survive either.
Su Wan looked around blankly. She suddenly collapsed and sat down. Soon, her face was covered in tears.
Luo Yi could not bear to see Su Wan like this, so he finally persuaded her to go back.
Su Wan sat on the stool in a daze. She suddenly felt like she had a big dream and was extremely tired.
Su Wan bit her lip. The profound face of Jiang Xuecheng appeared in her mind. How could such a proud man die?
Perhaps, he was just like her, saved by someone else…
For some reason, Su Wan had a certain belief in her heart: the universe was vast and boundless. She would definitely find Jiang Xuecheng again on some unknown planet.
After Su Wan made up her mind, she felt much better. She looked at Luo Yi and gestured with her hands.
I want to learn your language, is that okay?
