Su Yan's words did not end, Su Yan continued: "God also said that more people should learn words. ”

Wu's eyes lit up, and he bent down slightly to Su Yan, who was much shorter than him, and asked with a little respect: "Please ask the divine envoy to teach me the words." ”

"Yes, anyone can learn from me."

Wu and Derpy, Su Yan's first students, pointed to the text on the slate, first pronounced it in the language of the Snake Tribe, then read it twice in Mandarin, and finally wrote it down on the ground with a stroke on the branch.

Both of them have a certain knowledge base, basically Su Yan taught two or three times, and the two of them learned to recognize words, as long as they reviewed frequently, they would memorize the words.

It is estimated that it will only take two or three days for Wu and Derpy to learn the words on the first tablet.

Su Yan can't spend a day teaching witches and Derpy writing, one hour a day is enough, and the rest of the time Su Yan has to practice boxing, and he also has to carve other words on the new slate.

There are only six blank stone slabs on Wu's side, one of which was used up by Su Yan before, and there are still five left.

The total number of Chinese characters exceeds 90,000, and there are 3,500 commonly used characters, Su Yan does not need to depict all the 3,500 commonly used characters for the time being, at present, he only needs to depict the words commonly used in the daily life of the people of the snake tribe, and even then it is not a few stone tablets that can be depicted.

In addition, Su Yan and Wu both needed slates to record some other things, and the inventory of slates was seriously insufficient, so Su Yan asked the leader to find suitable slates outside to bring them back.

It was a relatively simple matter, and the next afternoon, the hunting party came back with five stone slabs that were the smallest and one foot square.

In the days that followed, Su Yan divided the day into several periods, the first for practicing boxing, the second for carving new characters on stone tablets (it took a lot of time to think about the words that would be needed), the third for teaching Wu and Derpy, the fourth for thinking about how to make pottery, and the fifth for teaching his second group of students to learn characters.

Su Yan has been thinking about how to make pottery, Su Yan does not have much knowledge related to pottery in his memory, Su Yan can only explore the design by himself, and when the design is almost complete, he will be ready to make pottery by himself.

Pottery has a very great effect on the snake tribe, pottery can be used to boil water, drinking boiled water is much lower than drinking river water directly The chance of getting sick is greatly reduced, in addition, you can use pottery to cook meat and soup, you can also use pottery to fill food and water, and there are many uses.

It can be said that if Su Yan can make pottery, the quality of life of the people of the snake tribe can be improved by a step, and the chance of the tribe getting sick can be reduced.

However, it will take time to make pottery, so Su Yan can only slowly explore it by himself, and others can't help.

As for Professor Su Yan's second batch of students learning Chinese, there are also Su Yan's own considerations.

Before, the snake tribe only had pictures and words, the language of the snake tribe was very simple and colloquial, there were not many words, and there were not many meanings that could be expressed, sometimes it was very difficult to express something, just like Su Yan asked the leader to find salt, and after describing the salt, the leader did not understand, so he naturally could not find salt.

Su Yan has a Chinese character system that is more advanced than pictures and words, and it is Su Yan's best choice to replace pictures with Chinese characters and Mandarin instead of the spoken language of the tribesmen.

The first batch of students were Wu and Derpy, who were the most knowledgeable in the tribe and were able to learn Mandarin more quickly.

In the second batch of students, Su Yan chose clansmen who are more than 1.3 meters tall but are still minors, both male and female, a total of 12 people, 7 men and 5 women.

In the tribe, adults have things to do, or hunt or fish, except for witches, other tribesmen can study seriously as they get older.

Those minors, small children like to play and play, and it is more difficult to let them quiet down and learn.

However, the closer a minor gets to adulthood, the more playful the mind begins to decline, and adulthood means that the mind is about to be born, and it will no longer like to play like children, and can calm down and learn.

So Su Yan chose minors who are more than one meter three tall, both men and women can learn, this is not to say that men and women have equal status, but in the end, the entire tribe must learn words, even if they can't learn many words, they must learn to speak Mandarin.

Non-standard language communication seriously hindered the development of the snake tribe, and Su Yan's goal was to develop and expand the snake tribe.

The same professor for about an hour, Wu and Derpy's learning speed is more than twice that of the second batch of students, I have to say that Wu is also a person with vision, and he chose Derpy as his successor from dozens of minors, which is indeed the best choice except for Su Yan.

Although Su Yan is ready to teach the text to everyone, and one of Wu's missions has been removed, Wu is still very important in the snake tribe, and the most important part of Wu's mission is not the inheritance of knowledge, but sacrifice.

Well, the identity of Su Yan's divine envoy also separates the rights of witches to a certain extent, in the past, witches and gods communicated, but now it has become Su Yan and gods to communicate.

Fortunately, the current Wu of the Snake Tribe is not a crazy person, Wu is more concerned about the development of the tribe, rather than thinking about consolidating his position, otherwise with a half-old child like Su Yan, the situation is precarious, and the clansmen will believe in Wu and will not believe in a half-old child.

Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and Su Yan has been busy teaching words to his two batches of students, conceiving how to make pottery, and by the way, using the largest stone slab to carve the number of days with sharp stones.

There is spring fragrance and autumn and winter, Su Yan also wanted to record the time when he was an observer, but it was easy to mess up, but now he can leave a record on the slate, a "positive" word represents five days, slightly recall the day when the ice and snow melted before, and the word "positive" was engraved on the slate by Su Yan.

Su Yan taught two groups of students a total of 14 people to teach writing and Mandarin, Su Yan told them to teach other tribesmen to speak Mandarin as much as possible, half a month, Mandarin has taken root in the Snake Tribe, but if you want to completely replace the spoken language of the Snake Tribe with Mandarin, it still needs a long way to go, Su Yan's fourteen students have only learned a little Mandarin, not to mention others.

In half a month, Su Yan has almost conceived the production method of pottery, the conditions are limited, Su Yan can only piece together a simple plan as much as possible, Su Yan himself does not have much expectations for this plan, but some things have to be tried, if you don't try, you will never be able to get pottery.
