Chapter 50

Winter turns to spring, the snow in the cold winter finally melts, small green shoots emerge on the moist soil, the temperature slowly rises under the full sunlight, and the beasts that have been hungry for a winter come out to feed, and the whole continent is lively.

Gu Xi was finally liberated from the trouble of being wrapped into a ball, wearing a linen undershirt and an animal skin coat, it was completely enough, no need to wrap several layers of fur, the whole person was a lot more relaxed, although the temperature was still not high, but the wind was not so cold and biting on the body.

The tiger clan was silent for a cold winter and began to move, eating a winter pickled food and the only green leafy greens, everyone was a little boring, the sub-beasts went out to collect fresh wild vegetables, after a few spring rains, a lot of green leafy vegetables have quickly emerged, you can pick them down and make do with eating first.

And Gu Xi is thinking about a big project.

In the spring of last year, there were no seeds to plant, but this year was different, after last year's collection, they already had a lot of different kinds of seeds, and even had rice seeds, rice seeds are more convenient to plant by the river, but they have a large area of land mostly in the rear of the tribe, not close to the river, so it is very inconvenient, and every time the water has to go through the tribe to the river, it is also a waste of time.

Gu Xi wanted to open a small river from the side of the big river to lead it to the tribe, pass through the city wall, pass under the city wall, and cross the entire tribe, after this mention yƬ was proposed, everyone was surprised, the river can also be opened by itself? This is something they could never have imagined before.

After this proposal was proposed, he was the first to receive the support of Uncle Jiang, from the study of architecture to furniture, Uncle Jiang's interests and hobbies have been completely stimulated, such a project, he has been ready to start!

"You see the river passing through our tribe like this, and we won't have to go out with water in the future," Gu Xi drew a schematic diagram of the tribe on the sand table and explained it to the onlookers. "We're going to grow rice here this year, and the rice needs to be irrigated, so digging a pond from here will make it easier to irrigate! Actually, this kind of pond is also very useful, you know that the gurgling birds can be farmed, in fact, the fish we eat can also be farmed, and when we can really grow ourselves, we don't even have to hunt every day, we can have abundant food. ā€

Everyone looked at the schematic diagram carefully, what Gu Xi said, it was too tempting, and they also felt that it was indeed very convenient, the place where the river passed through did not affect everyone's residence, it was on the side of the river, and it was not troublesome to implement, now they have to run outside the wall every day to use water, it doesn't matter to the orcs, but for the sub-beasts, it is indeed a little troublesome.

So everyone decided to start digging the creek! The method given by Uncle Jiang after observation is very simple and rude! It is to dig a trench first, and finally open up the place directly connected to the big river! This is really too easy for orcs, the body is alive, and the body of orcs is always not used up, Gu Xi prepared a big shovel for orcs to use, and two or three orcs operate together, which is simply the rhythm of digging a big pit in minutes.

The orcs went out to hunt at the same time, every day to dig time, it only took seven days to dig all the success, more than four meters wide river, the deepest place is only a little higher than the height of the orcs, from the bank to the middle of the river dug into a slope, every other section also with stones to build steps, so that it is convenient for everyone to live and use.

After a spring rain, the water in the river rose a lot, and the Tiger tribe decided to open up the last block of soil on this day.

Little by little, the water flow from the middle was dug and slowly flowed into the small river, and the small river that ran through the tiger clan was finally dug successfully! The water of the great river poured into it, and soon merged with the small river until it flowed into the pond at the rear of the tribe.

The Tiger people who participated in this project couldn't help but cheer, although they had not yet been able to appreciate the benefits brought by the river, but this did not affect them in the slightest to enjoy the joy of success, and the orcs, who were not afraid of the cold, immediately jumped in and splashed the water on the shore, and the scene suddenly became joyful.

Gu Xi looked at the successful Xiaohe project, and a lot of ideas popped up in his heart, the big transformation of the tiger clan will be more than these, there will be more.

At the same time that the Tiger Clan was carrying out this big and small transformation, the Spring Enlightenment Education Class of the Tiger Clan also officially began, from the writing of Chinese characters for two foods a day to the preliminary learning of numbers.

The classrooms are set up in the square, the tables and chairs are stone tables and stone benches of different shapes, and the students are the orcs Moli and Ruda, the sub-beast Momo, and the rest of the idle people who stayed in the tribe who were not in the hunting team that day.

The sub-beast Sanjay also came to listen to the class with Xiao Wei Le, who couldn't walk yet, since he heard Gu Xi say that children's education should start from an early age, Sanjay has been very active in participating in the family enlightenment education class.

"You see, this is the word rice, what is rice, this is this, the shell of the rice is opened, the white inside is rice, rice, is a very good food, it can make everyone full, it is very good for everyone's body, and after the harvest, it can be stored for a long time, and there is no need to worry about no food in winter, in the future, this will also become one of the staple foods for everyone. This is also one of the plants that we will be planting on a large scale! The land behind us will be planted with this, and by the autumn time, we will harvest a lot," Gu Xi demonstrated, holding a grain of rice.

"I've tasted it, it's very fragrant," said Tong Xiu, who accompanied Tang Ning to the class today, he will never forget the delicious taste he tasted in the leopard clan at that time, and he is really looking forward to it.

Xueba Tang Ning has mastered the rice character proficiently, this kind of talent that can be learned as soon as he learns makes the other people in the tribe involved in learning very envious, Tang Ning is also looking forward to hearing Tong Xiu say this, and he can't wait to participate in planting, when the time comes, ask Gu Xi, can you introduce the fox clan, and my brother will be much easier.

"Another word today, is this word, a little complicated, this word is beans, beans are no stranger to everyone, we also used soybeans to make tofu last year, there are many types of beans, what we use now is soybeans, and when there are other types in the future, I will explain it to you clearly" Gu Xi said, to be honest, he is really not a good teacher, he can only teach everyone the most commonly used words, to let him say what is the meaning, he really doesn't know, can only let everyone memorize, Remember what kind of kanji this food corresponds to.

"Today's words we will teach these, the next I want to teach is numbers, this is to facilitate everyone to count, I believe you have seen me use it before, I will start from the simplest teaching, as long as you simply master the method of counting, you can, one of them is written like this...... "Gu Xi hung up the numbers that had been prepared, from 0 to 9 rows of hanging, as soon as he turned his head, he saw the curious eyes of the clansmen, all of them eager to learn, and suddenly a little stressed, there were a bunch of older apprentices in the kindergarten, Everyone stared at them with eager eyes, and I couldn't stand it.

The early numbers are very easy to learn, the people of the Tiger Clan have been more or less in contact with Gu Xi before, Gu Xi gave a few examples with real objects, and the acceptance of people from other worlds is also very strong, and it didn't take long to understand, Gu Xi quickly showed his masterpiece! -- A table of addition formulas for a whole large board of wood.

"That's the task for the next few days!" Gu Xi said, "In the future, when we participate in the exchange day, how many goods have been exchanged, and how many survivors in the family can be expressed in numbers, so that we can clearly record them, and we don't have to worry about remembering the inventory, for example, my family has thirty-five gurgling birds, and Anhua's family has forty-seven, so how many of our two families do we have?" Thirty-five plus forty-seven is eighty-two, and I do the math quickly because I know how to add them up, but you have to take them apart and count them slowly, which is a waste of time. ā€

"It's hard to write! It's not as convenient as tying a knot! "Shi Tou is a little stupid, he doesn't understand what he taught today, it's much more difficult than him directly tying a knot with a rope! The numbers have just been remembered, how can there be an addition, so many gurgling birds, how to calculate it?

Gu Xi smiled: "There are not many to count now, so it is very convenient for you to tie the knot, if you wait until hundreds or thousands in the future, do you want to tie thousands to knot?" ā€

"Thousands......" Shi looked at the rope tied to his waist in embarrassment, there are so many, there are many knots to tie, and a lot of ropes are used, and then looking at the number that Gu Xi hung out, Shi made up his mind: "I will definitely learn!" ā€

Gu Xi nodded with satisfaction and said: "I know that it is very difficult for you to accept a new culture, I don't force everyone, you can come if you want to learn, don't force it, this is the culture of my hometown after all, this culture has been formed for thousands of years, and now I am imposing it on you, it is indeed a little difficult for you, what I teach now is only related to our daily life, I hope it will be useful to everyone, but I hope that the tiger clan's own culture can be developed, which is helpful to the entire tiger clan." ā€

"Brother Xiaoxi, I want to learn, these symbols are so beautiful, much simpler than our original ones!" The little orc Ruda raised his right hand, and Brother Xiaoxi said that he should raise his hand when speaking in class, and he remembered it very clearly.

"Me too!" Not to be outdone, Maury raised his hand even higher.

"Me too" Shi hurriedly raised his hand, Gu Xi is so powerful, he is right, as an adult orc, how can he not compare to the little cubs, he will definitely work hard!

The Tiger Clan's enthusiasm for learning was high, and Gu Xi had a sense of accomplishment.
