Before the cold season came, every household in the Lotus tribe set up a soil kang to store delicious food, and after the temperature plummeted, they nested in the house and did not go out.

Lin Yan was wearing a thick cotton coat and a leather coat wrapped outside, and went to Huayu's house against the cold wind.

The whole family nested on the kang, peeling lotus seeds, Lin Yan smiled and said: "The weather is too cold, you don't go out, I'll come and take a look." ”

Huayu looked Lin Yan up and down, "What kind of clothes are you wearing inside?" ”

"Cotton clothes, thick, with leather clothes on the outside, warm." Lin Yan generously showed off his clothes.

Look at the flowers and fish, they are all wrapped in skin, and the kang is covered with straw mats and animal skins.

The Lotus tribe has no cloth and cannot make underwear and bedding. The leather handling is nowhere near as soft and comfortable as the Union's.

That's why I'm very enthusiastic about the cloth brought by Lin Yan.

The family touched Lin Yan's clothes curiously, and couldn't help the envy in their eyes.

Huaye: "Lin Yan, can you sell me your cloth?" "She wanted a cloth garment, close to her body, and it must feel comfortable.

Everyone in the room looked at him, and Lin Yan smiled and said, "The cloth we brought is limited, so we can give you one." ”

Hanaba was very happy, "It's really for us, I'll get it with you." ”

"Mosa, wait a minute." Hua Yu's mind turned quickly, and he looked at Lin Yan, "What to exchange?" There are lotus tea, lotus seeds, lotus roots, and frozen fish and shrimp at home, what do you want? ”

Lin Yan shook his head, "I don't want these." ”

Huayu frowned, is this something else?

At that time, Lin Yan promised them to stay, and asked for three bags of flour and five catties of salt.

Looking at that boatload of good things, everyone wants it. Huayu strictly restricts the clansmen and cannot move their minds.

In Huayu's opinion, Lin Yan and they don't lack anything, they live a good life, they don't understand, what they need, they still use cloth to exchange.

Lin Yan hurriedly said: "Huayu, don't worry. Yes, in the cold season, we are also idle, and we can teach the tribesmen to read. This is our calendar, and it is based on this to judge the time of the arrival of the cold season......"

Huayu's family listened to Lin Yan's words, touched the paper of the calendar, and reads the numbers on the calendar lamely, which was taught by Lin Yangang.

Hua Yu's youngest son, Hua Luo, was only five or six years old, but he was the fastest learner, and he looked at Lin Yan with bright eyes, "I want to learn." ”

"Okay, I'll teach you." Lin Yan touched Hua Luo's head and turned his head to look at Hua Yu: "The yard we live in is too small, can you talk to the people of the tribe and make room for those who are willing to learn." ”

Hua Yu is excited, and she has recognized the magic of numbers and words. Just now, Lin Yanjiao's family wrote their names and counted lotus seeds.

Just for this, the clansmen are willing to come to learn. Everyone has nothing to do in the cold season, so if you can learn this, you should pass the time.

When Lin Yan returned to the courtyard, Huo Mai asked, "How is it, did Huayu agree?" ”

Huayu agreed. You and Fengda will arrange to send all of our people out to teach people to read and write, and take out enlightenment textbooks. ”

Huomai happily replied, "Okay, I'll do it right away." ”

Every time he comes out, enlightenment textbooks are a must-have, and Lin Yan is ready at any time to educate the people of the wasteland.

Cultural identity is a slow process, and she never wants to let go of any opportunity.

In the future of the dissemination and use of knowledge, everyone will be compatriots and should have a greater sense of identity.

Three months passed in a hurry, Lin Yan occasionally went out to teach, and the rest of the time was busy copying books.

It may be that she is too efficient and consumes all the paper she brings. When he heard Huomai say that there was not much paper left and that he wanted to save it, Lin Yan was stunned.

I went to see it for myself, and I was sure that it was true, and there was not enough paper left for her to finish two books, and they didn't know how long they would be outside, so they had to leave spare paper.

After struggling between going north and going south for a long time, Lin Yan still decided to continue south.

It is the good time of the new year, the Sun River joins the Flower River, this piece of terrain is flat, the water flow is large, and there is no obstacle to boating.

It's a shame to return at this time.

The people of the Lotus tribe came out to see them off, watching the two boats disappear in front of their eyes.

Hanaba said enviously: "When can we go to Sun City to have a look, if only there was a big ship like them." ”

Huayu also wanted to go, "When Lin Yan and the others come back, you will follow." ”

Hua Luo immediately said: "Auntie, I want to go too." ”

"Okay, well, let's see who Lin Yan takes when the time comes."

Hua Yu was looking forward to Lin Yan coming back soon. She heard about the Sun Alliance and decided to go and see it for herself, if it was really as good as Lin Yan said, she would benefit greatly from joining the Alliance.

The Lotus Tribe is too backward in every aspect, and if it can get the assistance of the Sun Alliance, it will completely change the fate of the clan.

Lin Yan, who continued to explore the south by boat, did not know that in December last year, there was another tombstone in the martyrs' cemetery.

Minglan still couldn't hold on to her body in the end, and she dragged on for a year, and she had to close her eyes forever.

Fenghua's already bad body was affected, and he was even more bedridden.

The two arbiters of the alliance fell one after another, giving the people of Sun City a feeling of storm.

The arbiter is the anchor of Sun City, and with them, everything is fine. With the death of Bai Yun and Minglan and the fall of Fenghua, there were three vacancies at once.

Only black soil and aquatic are left, and especially, they are all male, which makes many people uneasy.

After so many years, although advocating equality between men and women, more people still believe that women have a high status and cannot be overshadowed by men.

The voice of the people is not unclear to Shui Sheng, but now he is busy and anxious, and all kinds of things come to him.

Hei Tu is also the arbiter, but he never meddles in other matters, and only manages the one-third of an acre of land in the military department, and never crosses the line.

In this turbulent time, there is a greater need for a capable and qualified woman to step up.

Huang Ying smiled bitterly: "You let me take on the big responsibility, and you look up to me too much." It would be nice if Lin Yan was here, she was the best choice. Blue Moon is also okay, she is recognized as the strongest, and she is fully qualified. ”

"It's not impossible." Shui Sheng was helpless, "If I can, I can do it myself." We cannot ignore public opinion. Fenghua can't preside over the overall situation, Yemeng and Xia Li, although they have some supporters, but their support among the younger generation is not enough. Now, the demographics of Sun City, and indeed the Union as a whole, dictate that people between the ages of fifteen and thirty account for eighty percent of the suffrage, and they are all a generation that has been influenced by the new ideas. To reassure the population, we need to make an exception to elect a young female arbiter. I thought about it, you, Hua Min, and Red Spirit are the most suitable. ”

"So, you're coming to me first?"

"Yes, you are a delicate person, and you have been trained over the years, and I believe that you are the most capable of handling the current situation."

"I thank you, you really look up to me. The alliance is such a big stall, but it is not just a matter of the court and the Supervision Yuan. ”

Shui Sheng pleaded: "Huang Ying, you think about it and give me an answer as soon as possible." I want to hear good news. ”

Huang Ying nodded, turned and left. (End of chapter)
