As soon as Lin Yan finished speaking, Shi Zhi and a few others immediately came over, picked up the stones and observed.

The aquatic life's eyes flashed slightly, and he asked the wild man about the origin of the stones, wanting them to take them with him.

In order to show his friendship, he took out the hemp rope and steamed buns he had prepared before he came out, and after vigorously selling them, the other party agreed to take them to the place where the stones were quarried.

Walking past a place where the savages lived, the aborigines looked at them with curiosity and panic in their eyes.

Lin Yan said: "This area is their place of residence, and there are three or four hundred people. They all live in caves, so it's better to call them cave people. ”

Huang Ying smiled: "You can really choose a name. At that time, Li Shu and they lived in a tree house, so they called the tree house tribe, and now these people live in caves, do they really want to call them cave people? ”

"I can't come up with a good name, so you can give it a name." Lin Yan felt that it didn't matter what it was called, it was just a code name distinction.

Huang Ying said: "Then it's still called the cave man." ”

After climbing a low hill, I walked for nearly half an hour before I reached my destination.

This is a barren land, sparse grass and trees, in stark contrast to the previous dense grass and trees, full of limestone, Lin Yan exclaimed: "This large area is limestone, looking at the reserves are very rich." ”

Shi Zhi immediately picked up a piece and looked at it carefully, "Indeed, like the previous stones, if this piece is all, it is enough for us to mine for many years." ”

The others all had smiles on their faces, and Huang Ying said, "We were so lucky, we met the cave people after only a few days of going out, and we also found limestone. ”

After squatting on the ground and taking a closer look, Shui Sheng stood up and said, "Good luck indeed." Or go out and move around more. ”

Yun Qing walked to Lin Yan's side, although she had just heard them talk about the use of limestone, she had never taken a class, so she couldn't imagine what use these stones were. She asked, "Do these stones really work?" Want to take it back? ”

"It's not just an ordinary stone, it's limestone, which can be processed into a variety of chemicals, something we desperately need. Captain Yunqing, the space on the ship is limited, and we can't carry too many things, so we only keep a little and make plans when we come back from this long trip. ”

After listening to Lin Yan's words, and looking at her serious appearance, Yun Qing knew that these stones were not ordinary, and nodded: "Just do as you say." ”

Looking at the dozen or so cave people who led the way, Yun Qing asked, "How do these people deal with this?" ”

They are aborigines, and they should not watch their own people mine the stones and transport them away.

Lin Yan thought for a while and said, "Stay first, and then rely on them to mine limestone." ”

The group took a sack of limestone with them, and the cave man stood by the river and watched the boat go away, but he was confused. They initially wanted to keep the ship for themselves.

Living by the river all the year round, the cave people not only have tinder, they also made a raft, but how can the raft be compared with the boat, the first sight of the heart moved, this is the night sneak attack, I didn't expect to be beaten without the power to fight back.

When they saw the food and utensils of the people of Sun City, the eyes of the cave people were glowing, and they talked a lot to the aquatic life, wanting their good things, and also wanting to go to Sun City to open their eyes.

Shui Sheng has already negotiated with them, promising to bring them good things in the future, and will also take them to visit Sun City, as for the time is uncertain.

On the boat, there were no cave people in sight, and Lin Yan and the others were all around the water.

Huang Ying: "Tell me, how did you learn to speak in the cave?" ”

Lin Yan: "How do you understand a completely unfamiliar language?" ”

……

Shui Sheng smiled shyly: "I caught those two people last night, but I couldn't communicate, so I was thinking about how to communicate with them." I stayed with them all night, and I learned their pronunciation by starting with the simplest things. I'm not proficient yet, and I'll have to practice more in the future. ”

Lin Yan gave a thumbs up, "Amazing, very talented in languages, in the future, you will be responsible for teaching the cave people to speak our language, and strive to make them all speak the language of Sun City." ”

Lan Yue said directly: "He has a good aquatic talent, and when he meets other tribes in the future, he will also let him communicate, and strive to popularize the language of Sun City, and there will be no language barrier wherever he goes." ”

Shui Sheng smiled bitterly, "You think too highly of me. ”

"You can do it. We all believe in you. Feng Wenwen interjected a sentence rarely.

Lin Yan said seriously: "Shuisheng, you can really do it." We will go out often in the future, the cave people we meet today are only a small group, and we may meet more people in the future, even larger tribes than the Sun Tribe, language communication is very important, and you have to shoulder this heavy responsibility. ”

After a moment of silence, Shui Sheng nodded, "I understand." ”

After a pause, he continued, "What do you think about the cave people? There were three or four hundred of them, and although they were curious about Cité Soleil, they were reluctant to relocate to Cité Soleil. Those limestones, we are bound to get, and we can't get around the cave people. ”

Seeing that Shui Sheng's expression was serious, obviously very serious about this matter, Lin Yan said seriously: "If you don't want to relocate, you can stay, and we can't force them to leave home." Mining limestone, you can also ask them for help. Do you already have an idea? ”

Shui Sheng nodded, "It's not easy for cave people, that's their home, and they don't want to leave. We are intruders, and it would be best to live peacefully with them. ”

"That's what I thought, too. Not everyone is going to move to Cité Soleil, depending on their own wishes. ”

Lin Yan looked up and looked around, "It just so happens that everyone is idle, so it's better to think about how to mine limestone." As you know, quicklime will form after calcination at high temperature, and quicklime will turn into mature lime when exposed to water, so we can't mine the limestone and transport it back, it's too heavy. ”

Shui Sheng immediately said: "You can set up a factory, send people to station, and just ship the burned quicklime back." ”

"yes, that's the easiest thing to do." Huang Ying agreed, "Although the cave people have caves and fire, they are very different from us in other aspects, and we can provide food or tools in exchange for them to mine limestone and take what they need." ”

Blue Moon: "Yes, mutual benefit is the best. ”

While a few people were talking, Yun Qing walked in, "You are right, when we go back, we will arrange for someone to go over there." ”

For the next few days, the boat went down the river, and the speed was very fast, and the journey was smooth, but no one else was encountered.

Along the way, I saw many animals drinking on both sides of the Yang River, most of them were cattle, sheep, ducks and geese.

At noon on May 10, Huang Ying, who was standing on the bow of the boat, suddenly shouted: "Come and see, there is a very flat area over there, and there are many houses." ”

With this shout, everyone couldn't sit still, and they hadn't met a stranger since they found the cave people.

If there was a house, it would be a big tribe.
