Chapter 101: Trading
The next morning, Robin woke up early and started the day's work again.
She made wood and stone, stone axes and hoes, which were brittle, but could still be chopped.
Secondly, she made thatched huts out of the reeds on the swamp.
But the result was very bad, and the next night, it rained heavily, first extinguishing the stove outside, and then washing away the thatched hut in the middle of the night.
So for the next two days, Robin changed his approach.
Instead of making it on the shore, she went out into the woods, a little further from the coast, emptied a place, and began to make a house.
She made a huge stove, about 70 centimeters above the ground, with a large pit underneath, and then began to make mud huts around the stove.
Robin used a huge tree to knock down trees deep in the woods and bring them back, a total of nine.
Two trunks of bowl-sized trees were dug deep into the ground, and a taller tree stood in the middle.
The eight logs on all sides are surrounded by layers of mud walls, facing the coast on the east side, and on the south side of the wall, there is a doorway, and on the north side, the wall is on the perimeter of the furnace, clinging to the furnace, and leaving a hole in the wall, which is connected to the two outlets of the stove, and is part above the surrounding ground, so that the smoke can be released.
In addition, a small opening is reserved above the walls on the left and right sides to keep the air circulating.
Then on the outside and inside of the mud drill, two layers of wet mud with reeds were pasted.
Under the oven, the mud bricks and wet mud are dried separately and become very strong.
Immediately after that, Robin made a clay tile, using two stones of different sizes, the large one flat and the small one with some arcs, first making a thinner mud brick on top of the big one, and then placing it on top of the small stone, pressing out the arc and turning it into a clay tile.
Robin erected a slanted frame on top of the wood, and then covered it with mud tiles to form a sloping roof.
When it rains, the rain flows downwards.
Robin used the Devil Fruit ability, and in just two days, he made a mud house, which can shelter from the wind and rain, and has no problem dealing with heavy rain, and there are several layers of trees outside, which can relieve the sea breeze.
In this way, there is no problem with basic accommodation.
"That's pretty much it."
Robin sat on the shore and told Xia Qiu about what he was going to do now.
"Uh-huh."
Xia Qiu nodded her head, the place where she built the house, through the trees, she couldn't see it.
However, she was able to do so much, Xia Qiu admired it very much, it was difficult to do it by herself on a desert island.
Robin looked at Xia Qiu and asked with a smile, "Can you understand what I said?" ”
"Uh-huh."
Xia Qiu nodded again.
Robin suddenly asked, "Do you know the nouns "stove", "mud drill, reed, wet mud, house, roof, and the verbs to empty, level, knock down, plunge, press, cover, erect?" ”
Xia Qiu hesitated for a moment and nodded again.
"Do you know bears, deer, rabbits, these animals?" Robin asked again, and after seeing Xia Qiu nodding, he asked again, "Can you understand the verbs of slapping, lifting, liking, studying, flying?" ”
Robin dismantled these words and asked them again, and after getting the answer, his legs shook slightly, and his face showed a thoughtful look, and then he said: "These words are not profound, but some of them are extremely knowledgeable. And you are a fish, nouns can only be accepted externally, and verbs themselves cannot do it, so if you want to understand, someone must have taught you these nouns and verbs.
In this way, there are two possibilities, one is to teach for a long time, pass on the meaning of each word to you, then it will be necessary to instill knowledge for a long time on a regular basis, and then think that you have mastered basic mathematical ability, and this time will even take more than five years. The second possibility is that you have lived in human society for a long time, you have seen it with your own eyes, and you have learned about it in life, but you live in water, and it involves you not being able to go on land, then this is unlikely. ”
Robin looked at Xia Qiu and asked, "So is there anyone who has been teaching you language and writing for a long time?" ”
"That's right."
Xia Qiu thought about it, and there was indeed nothing wrong, so he nodded heavily.
Robin looked at Xia Qiu and said, "Then it is impossible for this person to meet you by chance, know that you have wisdom, and then teach you, there must be someone who specializes in cultivating you." Because of the words involved, he can't show you a lot, and even for ordinary people, he won't try to get a fish to do it. So it is necessary to accept intensive, long-term teaching. It's strange to think of the fact that you have wisdom, so it seems that you didn't get wisdom by chance, but you were nurtured and taught for a long time, and it seems that if there is no accident, you should come from a laboratory and a research institution, am I right? ”
Xia Qiu grew her mouth, and according to her thoughts, she could only come up with this answer.
And that's a good statement, so Xia Qiu admitted.
"I see."
Robin said with some sighs: "There are people who are researching to make living things intelligent. So is there any other creature besides you who has intelligence? ”
"Nope." Xia Qiu replied.
"You're the only one."
Robin nodded, and after confirming Xia Qiu's identity, he began to ask him more questions.
For example, climate, history, physics, biological knowledge, interpersonal communication, literature, and some questions about morality and thought.
"I know a lot about the weather and biology, but I don't know much about history, but I know part of the historical context. At the same time, they have basic knowledge of physics, have their own values, be able to think, and can judge good and evil. ”
Robin said softly: "Some of the knowledge is more than most adults, and they have a mature enough mind, except for the limitations of their body structure, they are basically no different from people." ”
Speaking of which, Robin looked at Xia Qiu and said, "If you weren't a fish, I really thought you were a human being." ”
"Because I'm a human soul."
Xia Qiu shook her head.
Robin smiled and said, "Anyway, I can't leave the island now, so next, I will teach you some knowledge and tell you about the history and culture of this world, I don't know if you want to?" ”
"Yes, yes."
Xia Qiu nodded hurriedly, he knew very little about this world, and hoped to know more about this world.
And Robin should be one of the most knowledgeable people in the world, not only a historian and linguist, other knowledge is not as good as professional knowledge, but life experience, what he has seen, and his knowledge is extremely rich.
She's pretty much the best person to make herself aware of the world.
Robin looked at Xia Qiu and said with a smile: "But you have to meet one condition for me." ”
Conditions, what conditions?
It's not going to shorten the appointment time, right?
Hawkers, if she proposes it, she is willing to shorten the time by three months, and if it is half a year, she can barely agree.
Xia Qiu looked at Robin curiously, and Robin said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't ask for time." ”
"What are the conditions?" Xia Qiu was a little puzzled.
"I want you to bring me a boat." Robin said slowly.
