For example, in Ma Whistle's memory, chrysanthemums used to be just a plant, and fungus used to be just a food, and then ......

However, it is not easy for Indians to understand this concept, and even all people in the pre-Internet era have difficulty intuitively understanding the changes in language and writing.

"Will the language change?" Rainy day voiced his doubts.

"Of course, why else would the Apache languages be different from tribe to tribe, and why would there be so many languages in the world?" Ma Whistle said casually.

Rainy days say, "Maybe they're created like that." ”

"What doesn't change doesn't be created." "And, isn't what we're doing now a change in language?" ”

He didn't speak on a rainy day, frowning slightly, he still felt a little weird, not very understandable.

However, he supported the idea of the horse whistle and worked with him to refine the standard usage of the Apache script and update the rules.

With the cooperation of the two men, within a few days, the textualization of the Apache language was almost complete, and although it was not yet perfect, it was already available.

Twenty-six letters of the English alphabet, together with Arabic numerals and a number of symbols, formed the cornerstone of the system, which was then combined into writing in the Hanyu Pinyin Scheme.

In this set of Apache texts, the horse whistle also adds some bold expressions.

For example, he added parentheses that could enclose parts of a sentence in order to disambiguate or better reflect logical relationships. Just like in math.

In his opinion, the Apache language, which has long been spoken only and lacks communication, is prone to ambiguity and ambiguity in the process of use. Introducing some expressions from the language of mathematics can effectively solve this problem.

Nothing beats math precision.

In fact, he considered introducing a wide range of mathematical languages, including many mathematical symbols that have not yet been invented, but after trying it, he found that the typography was too messy, so he gave up.

The rules for updating the language script have also been set, and since only the horse whistle and rainy days now understand this set of characters, there is only one very simple update rule: with the consent of two people.

Later, when there are more people who have learned, they can form an "Apache Language Committee" or something, which will be responsible for revising the language.

"Now that the text is there, how are we supposed to spread it?" On a rainy day, he said, "Call the people over and we'll explain them one by one?" ”

"Of course, this is an essential step." "But I think we'll need some aid." ”

"What aids?"

"You'll find out in a few days." Ma Whistle smiled and sold a pass.

The next morning.

Fifty or sixty young people were gathered in the open space in the middle of the camp on a rainy day, ready to teach them the nascent Apache script.

"I'll have amazing good news for you." Rainy Sky looked at the more than fifty young students sitting in front of him with great interest, and there was irrepressible excitement in his voice, "We invented - words!! ”

He opened his arms and flushed, like an impassioned singer.

“……”

Below, however, there was silence.

The young people sitting on the floor looked dazed, and then looked at each other and talked about it.

"Text, what's that?"

"It looks like it's amazing......"

"I'm so hungry, I want to eat raw beef liver."

No one paid any attention to the matter of words, and if it weren't for the high priests on rainy days, and the horse whistles were formidable warriors and craftsmen, they wouldn't have stayed here honestly.

"Words, words, we invented words, you-" The rainy day was a little agitated, but was quickly interrupted.

Ma Whistle patted him on the shoulder: "They won't understand now." ”

Rainy Sky sighed, then nodded: "You're right. ”

Instead of trying to make people understand the meaning of the words, he assumed the posture of a high priest and took out a piece of paper with letters written on it.

"Look at the paper in my hand, there are twenty-six symbols written on it, and you must remember them as if you were your own fingers."

"Read with me, ah, wave, ah, of, Russian, Buddha, brother......"

The young people seemed to understand it, but they knew that they should obey the high priest's commands, so they followed suit.

In the next few days, Rainy Days and Ma Whistle took turns as primary school Chinese teachers, teaching the rules of pinyin and some application examples to these dozens of young people.

It has to be said that the "Hanyu Pinyin Scheme" from 1958 is indeed a powerful scheme, although its most suitable language is Chinese, but when combined with Apache, it still shows active vitality.

After only a few days of study and training, the first batch of trainees have initially mastered the use of words, and some of them are even able to express themselves relatively fluently in writing.

At this moment, Ma Sentry appeared in class with a leather bag and a wooden board carved with a lattice, and his expression was rather mysterious.

"Mr. Ma Whistle, what is that?" The students looked at his expression and couldn't help but ask.

Sitting on the sidelines, the rainy day also looked curious.

"I'm going to teach you how to play a game." Ma Sentry said, placing the plank in his hand on the ground, then opened the purse and took out a wad of papers. There seems to be a lot of writing written on the scrap of paper, and some patterns are drawn on it.

"Games?" People are even more curious.

Ma Whistle casually pointed to a student to sit across the board from him, and then asked everyone, including the rainy day, to come around.

"It's one card, and I've got sixty of them." The horse whistle pulls out a piece of paper on which a dragon is sketched in rudimentary lines and colors.

"Green ...... Blue-eyed white dragon? Some people recognized the words on the scraps of paper.

"If you learn the text well, it's 'blue-eyed white dragon'." Ma Whistle smiled.

These pieces of paper are the Yu-Gi-Oh cards he made, and they are mixed with many Hearthstone designs.

Of course, whether it's compared to Yu-Gi-Oh or Hearthstone, the set he just designed is a low-profile version, or a youth version.

The pattern is very simple, the rules are greatly simplified, and the number of cards is only sixty, but there are more words, the purpose is to assist in promoting the text.

The people of this era had little entertainment, and the Indians were especially poor in entertainment, and he believed that this novel game could arouse people's interest.

If you want to win in the game, you must read the text description on the card, which plays a role in promoting the text.

The horse whistle also added a lot of Indian elements, such as "Thunderbird", "Blessing of the Great Spirit", "Central Great Plains", "Tecumse", "Sequoia" and other cards, as well as technological elements such as "Railway" and "Warship".

He also designed some cards related to the United States, such as "President Harrison of the United States", the main effect is "slaughter": kill all the Indian characters on the field; and "Occasional Wind Chill": It can only exist for one turn, and the next turn will die of pneumonia.

"The name of the game is 'Duel Cards', and the two sides duel according to basic rules and card effects, and whoever loses all of their opponent's health first is the winner of the duel." The horse whistle continued.

"What are the rules?"

"Let's start with the dueling arena, which is this plank, look at the grids on it, these grids are used to place character cards, and these are used to place prop cards......"

"These small circles represent health, and at the beginning of the game, use stones to place on them, and remove a stone for each point of health reduction, and the duel is lost when all the stones are lost."

After explaining the rules clearly, Ma Sentry looked at the student opposite him, smiled and said, "Okay, you already know the rules, now let's start the first duel." ”
