After Fengyun went back, he found Lei, took out the structural diagram of the new kiln he had drawn, explained to him, and prepared to build the new kiln.

As soon as lunch was over, Fengyun noticed that the children had appeared in front of his door again.

"It's endless. ”

Fengyun couldn't help but frown, but he still decided to figure out the situation first.

Without waiting for him to ask, the children began to explain their intentions.

They have already decided the winner and wonder if he will continue to offer prizes for them to play in the second round.

"Wishful thinking. ”

A sneer erupted in Fengyun's heart.

He thought that they would keep fighting for the three pieces of meat, but he didn't expect them to have a result so quickly.

Clearly, they had reached some sort of tacit agreement to get more meat from him.

In order to confirm his conjecture, Fengyun forced his gaze into the eyes of the children.

Some children did not dare to look at each other, and as soon as they made eye contact with him, they avoided it, and their hearts were empty.

His guess was correct.

"You want to play these little tricks in front of me, you're still too tender. ”

Fengyun decides to shatter their illusions.

"I'm officially telling you right now that there's only one game a day. As for how long the game lasts, it's up to you to decide, and I don't interfere. Let's go back. Tomorrow after sunrise, I will put the prize in today's place. ”

The children all showed disappointed expressions, and then Fengyun noticed that many people were looking in the same direction, their eyes full of anger.

Fengyun followed their gaze and found that their gaze was on a skinny little boy.

He was really, really thin, like a thin bamboo pole, but his eyes were bright and very spiritual.

Fengyun remembered the little boy's appearance.

If he wasn't mistaken, he was probably the one who broke his plan, and it was most likely that he was the first to propose ending the match early in order to be able to get more meat from him.

In order to let these children disperse as soon as possible, Fengyun decided to use some means, raised his voice, and said, "Listen well. Although cockfighting has certain requirements for the body, technology is more important. ”

"If the technique is good enough, even if you are not physically strong, it is not difficult to win. If I were you, I'd go back to practice now and try to be the winner tomorrow. ”

The children were moved by Fengyun's words, and soon dispersed, apparently going back to practice.

With the experience of building a kiln last time, and the fact that the children no longer bothered him, Fengyun and Lei built a new kiln quickly.

Even in order to ensure quality and quantity, most of the kiln has been built in two days, after all, the wind and clouds are very different from the last time the kiln was built.

Drinking the blood of the flower hoof beast sent by the storm every day, his physical fitness has steadily improved, and he has already surpassed Lei in an all-round way, and as for the level of control of strength, Lei is even more out of reach.

All these have helped Fengyun to greatly improve the progress of kiln construction.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and on the third day, Fengyun was in trouble again.

The trouble still comes from the little ones.

They came to him to complain, and they had worked very hard to practice their cockfighting skills, but it was almost impossible to get meat.

Fengyun looked at the children who came to him and found that they were all relatively thin.

He was not surprised by this.

Cockfighting, although the technique is very important, but the physical fitness is equally important, in the case of similar technology, the stronger side will have a much greater chance of winning.

"Go and call the others, wait for me in the clearing, and I'll teach you a new game. ”

"What is the game?"

A somewhat timid voice was the first to ask.

Fengyun saw that he was a very thin little boy, the same little boy who had caught his attention because he had been reprimanded by his peers.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Bamboo. ”

"It's really apt, it's as thin as a bamboo pole. ”

In his heart, Fengyun did not say it.

"I won't tell you the name of the game yet, I'll talk about it when everyone arrives. You can rest assured, though, that the new game is definitely guaranteed to be fair. ”

"I hope you're telling the truth. ”

Zhu glanced at Fengyun deeply, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go." "Be the first to leave.

"Cloud, what fun game did you think of?"

Ray also seemed a little curious.

Cockfighting is a game, Ray already knows.

He also once praised Fengyun, saying that the game he designed was very good, it can improve children's balance and physical coordination, and help them become good hunters and warriors in the future.

"Rest easy. and everyone arrived. I told you, and I'm going to say it again. ”

"Okay. ”

Ray also stopped insisting and focused on building the kiln.

After a while, Fengyun jumped out of the kiln, went home, and walked towards the clearing.

Ray followed him.

When I arrived at the open space, there were already many children, and after waiting for a while, all the children had arrived.

"Everyone is here. What's new? ”

"Okay, I'll tell you now. The name of the new game is Hide and Seek. The rule is simple, some people hide and let others find it. ”

"How do you tell the winner?"

Fengyun is not surprised by this question.

The children play games that he designed, mainly to eat meat, and it is understandable that they take victory and defeat more seriously.

"There are two ways to play hide and seek, one is that everyone hides and one person goes to find it, and the other is that some people hide it, but the person who is looking for it is not one, and the specific amount is up to you. ”

This is already a little different from the hide and seek in his impression, but in order to adapt to the situation, he thinks there is nothing wrong with changing it this way.

"I still can't decide who wins. ”

Some of the children were a little dissatisfied with Fengyun's explanation.

"How can you not tell the winner? We can set a time in which the more people we find, the better the results, so that we can decide the winners?"

"What if there were as many people as you were looking for?"

"It's easy to do. You can look at the time. The shortest time wins. ”

"How can we really know which one has a shorter time?"

Fengyun found that it was Bamboo who asked the question this time, and his eyes were staring at him with bright eyes.

"I've thought of that. You see. ”

Fengyun picked up a clay pot from the ground and held it high.

This was specially brought from home before the storm came.

Everyone, including Lei, all eyes fell on the clay pot.

"Isn't this just an ordinary jar?"

This time it was still Take's question.

"This is no ordinary jar, it has a small hole in the bottom of it, which I made before firing. ”

Fengyun said as he tilted the jar and pointed the mouth of the jar at the crowd so that they could see the small hole at its bottom.

This clay pot was fired in an old kiln by Fengyun, and in addition to it, he also fired some other things.

"What's the use of this little hole?"

Bamboo is keenly aware that the small hole in the bottom of the tank is the key.

"The purpose of the small hole is to let the water flow through. That's how this jar is used for timing. Fill it with water first, and the water will slowly flow out of its bottom. I set the time it takes for the water in the jar to run dry. ”

Prior to this, he had done an experiment, and a jar of water was drained, and he counted more than 7,100 times in total, very close to 7,200.

He tested it three times, and all of them were between seven thousand one hundred and five to seven thousand two hundred and five, which was not much different.

An hour, two hours, an hour of three thousand six hundred seconds, an hour of seven thousand two hundred seconds, is about the same time as a jar of water runs dry.

Of course, there must be errors in this, but Fengyun is not demanding, and it is almost enough.

Although the clay pot timer was very rudimentary, when Fengyun created it and used it for timekeeping, the totem on his chest was still warm, and the snake body grew some more.

"It's been too long to drain a jar of water, do you have a way to break it down?"

Bamboo stared at the wind and clouds tightly, his eyes shining.

"I've thought about that. You see. ”

Fengyun took out a wooden strip with many scales engraved on it.

"There are a hundred and twenty notches on it, and the thickest one in the middle is called the hour line, and I divide an hour into two hours. The other lines I call them minute lines, an hour, I divide it into sixty minutes. ”

"As for usage. It's very simple. When you need to know the more accurate time, put this timing stick into the water, stand upright, reach the bottom of the jar, and then take it out and see where the water marks on the timing stick are, you can know the specific time. ”

"Cloud, you're amazing. The name of the time division is a bit hard to remember, but it's very good. ”

Bamboo cast a adoring glance at Fengyun, apparently impressed by his clay pot timer.

"Nothing, I just like to be foolish. As long as you like to use your brain, you can do it, everyone can do it. I believe you. ”

"I'm going to do my best. ”

Bamboo nodded heavily, his face full of determination.

"Bamboo, have you memorized how the timer was used?"

"Yes. Clouds, don't you ......"

Bamboo seemed to have guessed something, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his body trembled.

"Bamboo, you're a smart man. You guessed it. I've given you this clay pot timer, and you'll keep timing from now on. ”

"Cloud, you can rest assured. I'll take good care of it. ”

"It's not enough for you to keep it. You should also tell the hour every hour so that everyone knows what time it is. Well, I'll tell you what I think, when the sun rises overhead, you can record it as twelve o'clock, and so on at other times. You try to do it first. If you do a good job, I will tell Wu truthfully and let him reward you. ”

Before the words fell, the other children all cast envious glances at Zhu.

Being able to get the reward of the witch, but what they dream of, even if the reward is relatively small, is a supreme honor.

However, they didn't dare to show their dissatisfaction too much, they already knew that Fengyun and Wu had a very close relationship, and they didn't dare to offend him too much.
