Su Yan, as a divine envoy, has already experienced two benefits.

The first point is that there will be enough food for every meal, and if the hunting team has a harvest, the roast beast meat will be distributed to Su Yan first.

The second point is that there is finally no need to sleep on the haystack, it is much more comfortable to lie on the soft animal skin than on the haystack, and there are many small insects in the haystack, and the little insects will crawl everywhere when you sleep, and it feels terrible to think about.

The animal skin of the snake tribe has been simply processed by the clansmen, and there is no strange smell on it, Xiaohua Xiaoyue also ran over and wanted to sleep on the animal skin, and the leader came over after seeing this scene and wanted to reprimand them, but Su Yan refused.

Another day came, after breakfast, the leader set off with the hunting team, and the fishing team also went to the small river to fish, Su Yan took the second fish cage to his adoptive mother, the fish cage was originally used for fishing, but it was not good-looking.

The clansmen who stayed in the open space outside the cave had given up their previous work and began to weave the straw ropes that Su Yan needed, and several clansmen pulled grass by the woods near the clearing, and when the grass was dry, it could be used to weave the straw ropes that Su Yan needed.

Wu and Derpy stayed in the cave all the time, and Su Yan saw Wu squatting in front of an originally blank stone slab, holding a sharp stone in his hand and carving a painting on the slate, leaving lines of the most primitive text - picture text.

Pictorial writing is not standardized, it is a stick figure drawn according to Wu's impression of things, as long as you can roughly see that the stick figure represents the corresponding thing.

Most civilizations initially used pictorial scripts, which slowly evolved into pictographs, and unlike the phonetic scripts that use a small number of letters to record the phonetics in the language and thus record the language, hieroglyphs are ideograms that are more difficult to learn and use than phonetic scripts, but the information density is higher than that of single phonetic scripts. (Chinese say learning Chinese characters is easier than learning English)

Egyptian hieroglyphs, Hittite hieroglyphs, Sumerian, ancient Indian, and Chinese oracle bone inscriptions were all independently produced from the simplest drawings and patterns of primitive societies.

Many people believe that due to the inherent nature of hieroglyphic writing being complex and difficult to learn, it is gradually being replaced by pinyin script, which is easier to learn and initially master, in most areas. (In fact, due to regional and historical accent differences, it is more difficult to inherit pinyin characters)

In fact, there is a big problem with this understanding, but it is better to say that those civilizations have been extinct, which has led to the interruption of the inheritance of hieroglyphs, as one of the four ancient civilizations, the inheritance of China has never been broken, so the Chinese writing inheritance has never been broken, and the oracle bone inscription is also the beginning of ancient Chinese or the first form of Chinese.

If there are other life planets in this universe besides the earth, and if there is a civilization similar to the human beings on the earth on that life planet, then it is very likely that the civilization uses characters similar to Chinese characters, and the language is similar to Chinese. (So Chinese is the universal language of the whole universe, a must for travelers, laughs)

Because of studying traditional Chinese medicine, Su Yan will look through ancient books many times, and there are many treasured ancient medical books at home, and he has a very good understanding of traditional Chinese characters, and he also has a lot of understanding of the expression forms of Chinese characters before traditional Chinese characters.

Through comparative analysis and guessing, Su Yan could roughly see what Wu was writing on the slate.

The first two characters on the slate have a picture of a fish, and the second is "匚 (fāng)", which means "fish cage".

Wu not only used pictures and words to record the production process of the fish cage, but also drew the general appearance of the fish cage.

Wu needs to write a lot of content, and it is difficult to use sharp stones to carve on the stone slab, and it will take Wu at least two days to depict everything.

When the engraving is completed, the slate will become the knowledge inheritance of the snake tribe, and as long as there is a slate and a witch, the production method of the fish cage will not be broken.

Wu kept carving on the stone slab, and Derpy watched carefully from the side, Derpy was a disciple of Wu and had been in the learning stage.

For the heir of a witch, there are two things that need to be learned the most, one is sacrifice, and the other is writing.

Needless to say, learning the written word means that he can see all the knowledge inheritance in the tribe, and in the future, he will also need to use the written word to record other knowledge, and then teach the next successor, which is the inheritance of Wu.

In Su Yan's impression, Derpy is even more eccentric than the previous Su Yan, at first Derpy also likes to play, but slowly Derpy likes to sit on the ground in a daze, sitting for a day, without moving the nest, while other children of the same age are still playing around.

Sometimes Su Yan thinks that Derpy also has a traverser's soul in his body, but after Su Yan's long observation, he doesn't find any other special features in Derpy, which dispels the thoughts in his mind, and his attention to Derpy is greatly reduced.

After that, the unique Derpy was chosen by the witch as the successor, and Derpy's position in the snake tribe made great strides, only under the witch and the leader, eating and sleeping well, which made the friends envious.

After becoming a disciple of Wu, Derpy is still in a daze many times, like a thinker, thinking about questions that people in this era have never thought about, and maybe one day Derpy will become a great person and a person who will be remembered by history.

The cave is relatively dark, and as long as it does not rain, snow and strong winds during the day, the clansmen rarely stay in the cave, and Su Yan is the same.

Walking out of the cave and looking at the clansmen who were busy weaving ropes in the clearing, Su Yan felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

It was expected that it would not take long to get the rope to make a fish cage, and Su Yan was also busy, looking everywhere for a wooden stick suitable for making a fish cage frame.

Asked the adults to break the wooden sticks according to certain specifications, Su Yan went to collect the ropes woven by the clansmen, and called the three women who had studied with him before to connect the short ropes together.

The three women watched carefully, and Su Yan tied the twelve wooden sticks with a rope from a sturdy rectangular frame, moving more slowly, in order to let them see clearly.

After that, little by little, the mesh was woven on the rectangular frame, and not long after, a fish cage was made, and Su Yan handed the fish cage to them, allowing them to see for themselves, carefully pondering how to make the fish cage.

The next time Su Yan will gather more ropes, he and the three women will make four fish cages at the same time, and when they teach them how to make fish cages, Su Yan will be liberated and can go to other things.

[Traditional Chinese characters, almost Tao, don't say that simplified Chinese characters are easier to learn than traditional Chinese characters, there are still tens of millions of people in this world who use traditional Chinese characters]
