012 Write your own name
The small team starts to explore again.
Lin Yan changed his thinking.
"When you see different plants and trees, tell me, and if I know them, I'll tell you, so we can all learn."
This is an opportunity for Fat Treasure to record all the species, and maybe use it in the future. You can also get contribution points, killing two birds with one stone.
Huahua was the first to say: "Okay, good, Lin Yan you know so much, I envy it." ”
"That's right, Lin Yan knows everything, let's look for her if we don't know her." Ye Ya dragged the little milk and said in a voice, he was the youngest child except for Lin Yan.
These days, I have become familiar with Lin Yan, and I have become her little follower and a staunch supporter. Lin Yan is right in everything he says, Lin Yan is right in everything he does, Lin Yan is the most powerful person.
Mu Shi alone with five children, wandering around the tribe, passing by other homes, some children saw and followed.
In a short time, the number of children has reached more than a dozen.
All the children were so happy that they were playing while looking for plants and trees they didn't know, and then listening to Lin Yan tell them the names and uses of plants and trees.
These things are too new for them and open a magical door to simple children.
They yearn for the unknown, for the knowing.
Lin Yan looks at everything, and he can talk about anything he encounters.
The group of children is getting bigger and bigger, and the problems are varied and disorganized, but Lin Yan is at ease.
Mu Shi was also fascinated by it, it turned out that these seemingly ordinary plants and trees were so all-encompassing, and the difference was so big.
A child asked, "Some grasses have similar names, why are they so different?" ”
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, "Do you mean that the name is pronounced like it?" ”
"Yes, it's almost the same when it is pronounced, but it looks different, and it doesn't look like the same kind." This is a big kid who is ten years old.
I didn't follow A-Niang to hunt today, I was resting at home, and when I saw this group of children curiously following up, I was fascinated when I heard it.
"It's a different word, just the same pronunciation." Lin Yan said casually, and as soon as he finished speaking, he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, Xiao Shi immediately asked, "What is a word?" ”
"Uh, words are words, they are used for recording." Lin Yan explained.
But the children, who had never been exposed to words, couldn't imagine what it was, pestering Lin Yan to figure it out.
She gave an example and wrote her name out. She used a font she was familiar with, Simplified Chinese.
Another example is numbers.
It immediately attracted the attention of all the children, and they asked Lin Yan to teach them to write their names.
In the end, Lin Yan decided: "From tomorrow, I will teach you to learn words and counting." ”
Lin Yan made this decision carefully.
Although the conditions are not yet ripe and there is no pen and paper, there are always more solutions than difficulties. People are busy surviving, but the children in the tribe are fine, just enough to learn, they always need to be used.
After coming into contact these days, Lin Yan found that the children in the tribe are not stupid, they are very clever, and their memories are very good.
She said something once, and after a few days, they all remembered.
Not only the children, but also the wood and stone.
Mu Shi is old and in poor health, but his brain is very good.
As long as you have a good brain, are you afraid that you won't be able to survive?
Next, she wants to lead everyone to create together and improve the lives of savages.
It was getting late, and Mu Shi hugged Lin Yan and came back with Ye Ya.
After an afternoon of receiving new things and indulging in them, Mu Shi didn't care about cutting down trees at all, and the three of them returned empty-handed.
Mu Shi was making dinner, and while the broth was boiling, the flowers and leaves returned.
"It's so fragrant, I can smell it from afar." Ye Zi took a deep breath, "After having a fire, the food is so good, I don't want to eat raw meat again." Fire is such a good thing. ”
Hua Hong checked whether Lin Yan was injured or not, and said: "The fire is good, now that it is used, everyone will not eat raw meat." Today, I met Ah Hong of Huang Ye's family, saying that with the fire, her aunt Huang Ye can eat, and her body is gradually getting better. ”
"Really?" Ye Zi was taken aback, "Huang Ye is the oldest person in the tribe, her health is getting worse and worse, if that's the case, that's great." ”
The elderly have experienced a lot and can bring life experience to the tribe. Everyone wants Yellow Leaf to live longer.
"It's true, Ah Hong specially told me that she was grateful to Lin Yan for discovering the fire."
"That's good, I hope Huang Ye can live a few more cold seasons."
The broth was boiled, and several people simply ate and prepared to rest.
Mu Shi suddenly said: "Today, Lin Yan talked about words and numbers, and tomorrow I will teach the children to learn." ”
Hua Hong and Ye Zi were startled, and said in unison: "What is that?" ”
Mu Shi picked up the burned stick, one end was charred black, and picked up a stone slab.
Under the light of the fire, he slowly wrote the words wood and stone on the stone slab.
The handwriting was crooked, his hands were a little shaky, and Mu Shi was very excited, since Lin Yan had marked his name on the ground, he had remembered it in his heart.
After I came back, I endured it until now, but I still couldn't help but write it.
After writing, he looked at Lin Yan, "Isn't it?" ”
Lin Yan nodded appreciatively, "That's right." Mushi, you're so good, just look at it. ”
Hua Hong hurriedly asked, "This is the name of Mushi?" ”
"Yes, A-Niang, do you want to know how to write your name?"
Hua Hong immediately said: "Think, teach me quickly." ”
Ye Zi also came back to his senses, not to be outdone, "There is still mine, I will also write the name." ”
What others have, they have to have themselves, that's what they think at the moment.
Lin Yan took the slate and wooden stick, and wrote down the names of the flowers and leaves.
The two of them had quickly found the stone slabs and wooden sticks, and practiced according to Lin Yan's writing.
Mu Shi found two more stone slabs, gave one to Ye Ya, and wrote his name on the stone slab one by one.
Then, Lin Yan found that several people were staring at the slate with their names written on it, and the smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter.
After a while, Hua Hong came back to her senses and asked, "This is the text, what's the use of writing down the name?" ”
"A-Niang, there are so many people in the tribe, not everyone knows you. Acquaintances know that your name is Hua Hong, but what about unfamiliar people. If everyone knows the written word, just write it down, and people who don't know it will know your name. ”
"Writing is a kind of record and inheritance, and when everyone knows it, whatever you want to leave to future generations can be passed on through words."
Ye Ya had an idea, "When A-Niang is not at home, someone wants to go to A-Niang, and I also want to bring a message to A-Niang, but I don't want people to know, and I can also use text to transmit, right?" ”
"yes, Wild Sprouts are so smart." Lin Yan immediately complimented.
Ye Ya's eyes brightened, and her small body stood up unconsciously.
"Words have a lot of uses, and everyone will know about them later. Next, let's learn to count, starting with 0 to 9......"
Several people studied very seriously and wrote down everything Lin Yan said. Some are very simple and can be understood immediately, and some are memorized first if they don't understand.
That night, the four people who had learned their names and numbers were so satisfied that they couldn't sleep with excitement.
In other families in the tribe, anyone with children is talking to the family, writing their own names, and showing the numbers they have learned.
