For the next few days, Su Heng stayed alone in the bamboo forest, except for delivering food, no one was allowed to disturb him, and he didn't know what he was doing.

The big and small foxes are concentrating on taking care of the three silkworms. Mulberry silkworms grow very fast, and they eat all day and night, so every once in a while, they have to go up the mountain to pick fresh mulberry leaves, back and forth, although not very busy, but also not idle.

Only the tengu has nothing to do all day, and when he has nothing to do, he lies down under the tree and naps.

On this day, the tengu drooped his ears and dozed off with his head down, and at the same time opened his mouth wide, as if he was daydreaming. In the distance, a toddler girl suddenly walked up, looking no more than a year old, swaying and cute.

Tengu's nose fluttered, and he woke up suddenly, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a child, and the vigilance in his heart dissipated.

"Babbling ......"?

The little girl had just reached the age of babbling, and when she saw the tengu wake up, a little face smiled and began to scream, as if she was a little excited, and before she knew it, the speed under her feet was also a little faster, and she immediately stumbled.

"Yikes!" exclaimed the little girl.

However, instead of falling to the ground, she collapsed on a mass of hairy flesh.

Tengu was quick to catch the little girl with his body, grinning widely, showing a kind smile as much as possible, making himself more amiable.

The little girl was not afraid, and put her two little hands on it and propped herself up. Touching the tengu's long face, she shoved a large bone in her other hand into the tengu's mouth.

The little girl's eyes were crooked, and her eyes were full ......of anticipation.

Tengu was stunned for a moment, but did not eat it, and when he saw the large bone with a little crumbs, its long face instantly darkened, and its face was as ugly as if it had eaten a dead child.

It's a bone that has been gnawed on!

Although the primitive tribes are backward and the civilization has not yet begun, there are precedents for domesticating wild beasts and raising poultry and livestock, which have been inherited by later generations from generation to generation, and taming wolves into dogs is one of the more successful ones.

Take this tribe as an example, they also used to raise chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, but in the past, they were often attacked by fierce beasts, and the survival rate of livestock was extremely low.

The little girl had seen dogs and knew that domestic dogs were friendly, so she was not afraid of tengus, even if the dog was a little bigger. The people of the tribe have also seen dogs and know that dogs eat bones.

This is where the little girl stumbles up and graciously gives the leftover bones to the tengu to eat.

But how did she know that this dog was not the other dog, and if she wanted it to eat the leftover bones of people, it would be better to kill it directly.

The corners of Tengu's eyes were throbbing, his expression stiffened, and he wanted to cry without tears.

It happened that the big and small foxes came back from picking mulberry, and when they saw this, they immediately smiled and bent over.

"Big dog, eat quickly, this is someone's kindness, don't make a child sad. The little fox teased it heartlessly.

"You...... You ......"

The tengu gritted his teeth, raised his head to the sky and howled wolf, bit down on the big bone, and scurried into the dense forest.

"Big dog, don't worry, taste the bones slowly, no one will rob you, if it's not enough, come to me again!" The little fox put his hands on his mouth and shouted loudly in the direction where the tengu had left.

Looking at the gloating little fox, the fox girl shook her head helplessly.

However, they also knew that it was impossible for the tengu to eat the bone, and most likely they had to find a place where no one was there and bury it secretly.

Little girl natural

She didn't understand this, and when she saw Tengu take the bones she brought, she clapped her hands with joy.

The fox girl stepped forward and stretched out a slender onion finger with a smile on her face.

"Babble. The little girl understood what she meant, looked up at the fox girl, and her little hand grasped the onion finger tightly, and returned with the two girls.

In the days that followed, when the tengu saw the little girl, he avoided it as if he were hiding from a plague god, which confused the little girl.

After a few more days, Su Heng finally walked out of the bamboo forest, still holding a large pile of bamboo chips in his hand.

"Come in with me. ”?

He beckoned, and the big fox hurriedly put down what he was doing, and Tengu guessed that it was probably his own mission that was about to come down, and he followed in a hurry.

Inside the house, piles of bamboo pieces are placed in an orderly manner. The big fox and the tengu picked up a few pieces of bamboo and looked at them carefully, they couldn't help but be surprised, exchanged glances with each other, and the little fox said, "Brother Su, you have been in the bamboo forest for so long, are you carving these words?"

"Yes. ”

"But what's the use of you carving these words?" the little fox wondered.

"I think I know what this is for. The fox girl interjected: "Su Gongzi wants to teach them to learn words and speak?"

Su Heng had a smile on his face, "You're right. ”

"You know? In this tribe, there is no language or writing, and they only convey certain meanings to each other, and to me and them, only in certain common syllables, such as greetings, respects, etc. More often than not, they actually communicate with each other through body movements. ”?

The two foxes and one dog were stunned, and suddenly remembered that Su Heng did use many gestures when communicating with people.

"Fire is the origin of human civilization. Language and writing are the carriers of the development and inheritance of civilization, which must penetrate into everyone's life, make communication and communication convenient, and bring the entire tribe together completely and effectively, in order to expand the territory step by step, multiply, and pass on the accumulated civilization from generation to generation. ”

Therefore, in addition to the techniques of drilling wood for fire and raising silkworms, the third skill that we want to teach the tribe is language and writing. As he spoke, Su Heng looked at the tengu, "And this great and arduous task will be handed over to you." ”

The joy on Tengu's face had long since disappeared, and he barely managed to squeeze out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Less...... Young master, do you want me to be a teacher......? It's too difficult, isn't it? Can you get me another one?"

Unexpectedly, Su Heng did not refuse, but thought about it seriously, and said in a deep voice: "What you said is also right, it is indeed difficult for you to teach them to write and read." ”

Tengu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and thanked, "It's better to forgive me." ”

"Well, then you can swap them out. Su Heng's words made Tengu's expression freeze instantly, "You go to teach the women of the tribe to raise silkworms and make silkworms, and the two of them go to be teaching girls, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes. The little fox clapped his hands and grinned, "A big dog is holding a needle and thread to make clothes, which is fun and fun." ”

As she spoke, she looked expectant, as if she was imagining the dramatic picture.

Tengu glared at her fiercely, pulling his face long.

Raising its paw to look, it wept again, muttering in its heart.

This claw doesn't talk about threading the needle, it's even difficult to hold the needle!

"Young master, how can I do this woman's meticulous work? Aren't you embarrassed for me?" the tengu sighed.

Su Heng's face was expressionless, and he said lightly: "Then don't talk nonsense, and teach your words well." ”

Tengu knew that this errand could not be postponed, and did not continue to make Su Heng angry, tilted his head and thought about it, and asked: "However, if you want to teach a group of people who don't know anything to learn words and understand what it means, where should you start?"

This time, the little fox didn't tease the tengu anymore, and thought about it as well.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and where to start is really a big problem.

"Look. Su Heng pointed to the pile of bamboo chips on the ground, "I have spent the past few days carving thousands of words on it, from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, all of which follow certain rules, you don't need to think about it, just teach them in stages according to the order I sorted out." ”

"As for how to make them understand the relationship between words and objects...... He went outside and picked up a stone, shook it in his hand, wrote the word "stone" on the ground with a branch, and finally placed the stone next to the word "stone."

The branch tapped between the stone and the word "stone" several times, and finally read the pronunciation of the word "stone", and he said, "Just do it, understand?"

Tengu suddenly realized, "Understood!"

Su Heng nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you can start your mission now." ”

With that, he called a few people over and asked them to help Tengu move the bamboo out together.

"Raising silkworms requires a certain amount of patience, don't worry, take your time. He instructed the fox again.

The fox girl nodded her head and said softly: "In the past few days, when Xiao Qi and I went to pick mulberries, we brought back a lot of silkworms and some silkworm chrysalis, and let them go out to find more in the future, and I think the speed will be much faster." ”

"Oh?", Su Heng smiled, "Then your luck is really good, I spent a lot of effort last time to find three." ”

"Who told you to go out and look for it yourself without telling us last time. The fox girl is coquettish, and her seductive autumn eyes have a little bit of resentment, which makes her even more charming.

Su Heng hurriedly retracted his gaze, "That being the case, then you should also think more about it, and I have to teach them some other things." ”?

With that, he walked straight out of the house.

The fox girl looked at his departing back with a somewhat complicated expression. The little fox on the side saw all this, his big eyes and bones rolling, not knowing what he was thinking.

From this day on, there was one more dog master in the tribe. This dog master looks like a human, landing on the ground with two hind legs, and the two front legs are behind his back like hands, his chest is high, and he walks and sways, which looks extremely funny, but he doesn't recognize his six relatives, and he is extremely underbeaten.

It held its head high, looked at the sky with its nostrils, and was unstoppable, followed by a group of small followers, each holding a bunch of bamboo chips in its arms, and never leaving each other.

In this way, a group of dogs became the most striking feature of the tribe.

Finally, Master Dog led the group to a large clearing, and a group of people surrounded it in the shape of a half-moon and began its great and arduous teaching task.

The big and small foxes raise silkworms, and the tengu teaches words, so Su Heng is naturally not idle.

He led a group of people into the mountains, and after more than a month of hard work, he finally found an iron mine and brought some of it back to the tribe.

Later, he taught people to burn fire and smelt iron, smelt iron casters, make agricultural tools, and forge weapons...... Under his leadership, the tribesmen collected grain seeds, used agricultural tools to reclaim wasteland, and developed agriculture, while using fire and weapons to drive away wild beasts, expand the territory, and constantly expand the land for survival.

In this way, as the days passed, Su Heng also taught one skill after another to the clansmen.

A budding civilization is quietly growing in this small primitive tribe and spreading rapidly with the momentum of a prairie fire.
