Chapter 10: Literacy
One man and one ape, sitting at a bamboo table.
The scene is a little weird.
"Uh... It's unpalatable. ”
Ye Cheng took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth to eat, but he immediately frowned and almost vomited.
It's hard and a little salty.
It is very different from the dishes that Yu Zhendao Gu cooked before.
Obviously, Aunt Yu Zhen Dao was pointing on the side, why is the gap so big.
Ye Cheng couldn't help but look at Aunt Yu Zhendao.
Because her left arm was broken, Yu Zhen Daogu could only hold chopsticks with her right hand.
Even so, it looks natural.
She is only a vegetarian, picks up a slightly burnt green vegetable and puts it in her mouth, chews it and swallows it slowly.
The face is as usual.
Do vegetables cook a little better?
Ye Cheng was a little curious.
So he hurriedly swallowed the meat in his mouth, and he couldn't waste it anyway.
Then he took another green vegetable and ate it.
I didn't expect this vegetable to be even more unpalatable, not to mention salty, mixed with the smell of burning.
He threw it up.
"Xiaobai, it's your first time cooking a meal, it's already great to be able to make it like this."
Yu Zhen Daogu seemed to see Ye Cheng's thoughts, and immediately said.
Ye Cheng knew that Yu Zhendao was comforting himself
When the meal was finished, except for the rice, only a few chopsticks were moved on the table.
Aunt Yu Zhen Daogu only ate a few bites of green vegetables.
In the end, Ye Cheng poured all the rest of the dishes.
What a failure.
Then he cleaned up the table and washed the dishes and chopsticks.
He was a little emotional, not to mention washing dishes and chopsticks in his previous life, he hadn't even cooked food, but he didn't expect to cross into this world and become a white ape, not to mention, he actually did such housework.
When he finished washing and came out of the kitchen, he saw Yu Zhen Daogu sitting in front of the oil lamp, taking off her coat, revealing the bandeau and snow-white skin underneath, but only a left arm, almost broken off at the shoulder.
It looks shocking.
The severed arm was not bandaged, but a dark green ointment was applied.
At this moment, Yu Zhen Daogu seemed to be about to put a plaster on the broken arm.
I saw her frowning, biting her lip, and from her slightly trembling body, it could be seen that applying medicine must be a very painful process.
Whoop.....
Ye Cheng walked over and stroked up.
This kind of communication method is really difficult.
The thought that he might never be able to speak gave rise to a sense of sadness in his heart.
Who made him reborn into a white ape?
It can only be said that God played a big joke on him.
"Xiaobai, do you want to help me apply medicine?"
Yu Zhen Daogu looked up at Ye Cheng and said in a little surprise.
Ye Cheng hurriedly nodded vigorously.
Yu Zhen Daogu hesitated for a moment, dealing with the wound on the broken arm, and there was no room for negligence.
However, she looked at Xiaobai's expectant eyes, and she couldn't bear to refuse, so she nodded.
Then she briefly explained to Ye Cheng the order of applying the medicine.
The dark green ointment is called Green Field Intermittent Ointment, and its main effect is to speed up the healing effect of wounds.
Due to its rapid healing effect, it is usually used on major wounds.
The value of this ointment is very expensive, and it is the secret plaster of the Chongyang Concept.
Other than that, it is a colorless and transparent, slightly viscous liquid.
It emits a very pungent smell.
It is said that the main material is a liquid secreted by the snail toad, and it has a strong sterilization and disinfection effect.
Wash the wound with the snail toad liquid first, and then apply the green field intermittent ointment.
When the green field intermittent ointment is dry, a thin film will form on the surface of the wound.
After Yu Zhen Daogu's simple explanation, Ye Cheng immediately understood and began to help Yu Zhen Daogu deal with it.
Yu Zhen Daogu was a little worried at first.
As Ye Cheng dealt with the wound step by step, after nothing went wrong, she also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time sighed that Xiaobai was really smart.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to her.
Xiaobai is so smart, can you teach it to read?
If you are literate, it will be much easier to communicate.
Xiaobai can practice swords, cultivate internal qi, understand his own speech, cook and cook, and help himself deal with wounds, why can't he be literate?
.....
In the next period of time, Ye Cheng became busy.
Cooking, cooking, laundry, cleaning, helping Aunt Yu Zhen to treat wounds.... He's getting more and more proficient now.
The swordsmanship and exercise to control the internal qi did not stop.
this day.
Master Hong Jiu came over again.
He used to come over almost every day to have a look.
Only recently, the interval has been a little longer.
During this period, there were also other Taoists who came to visit Yu Zhen Daogu.
Through the conversation between them, Ye Cheng was finally able to obtain some additional information.
The reason why Yu Zhen Daogu was injured with a broken arm is said to be participating in the Dao level assessment.
In addition, Yu Zhen Daogu is not a Taoist priest and has become a Taoist master.
It is at the same level as Hong Jiu Daoist.
It's a pity that Yu Zhen Daogu passed the Dao level assessment, but she broke an arm, and the road of martial arts has come to an end.
"Senior sister, I brought everything you asked me to find."
Hong Jiudao was holding a large wooden box, which looked a little heavy, and he didn't know what it contained.
"Thank you, Second Senior Brother."
Yu Zhen Daogu said.
"Thank you, it's not too difficult, but what do you want these books for?"
Daoist Hong Jiu said with a smile.
In fact, he was very puzzled, these books that his sister wanted were all entry-level, specially used for enlightenment.
"Teach novices to read."
Aunt Yu Zhen didn't hide it, and said directly.
"Huh?"
Daoist Hong Jiu was stunned.
Teach a white ape to read?
That's ridiculous, isn't it?
Looking at the serious expression of the junior sister, he didn't know what to say.
In his heart, he thought it was impossible to succeed.
This Xiaobai is just a white ape, no matter how human he is, no matter how smart he is, he can't be literate.
The biggest difference between humans and animals is that they learn and use tools.
Yu Zhen Daogu saw the second senior brother's thoughts, and didn't say much, because she wasn't too sure.
It's nothing to give it a try anyway.
Ye Cheng listened from the sidelines, but he was a little excited in his heart.
In fact, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to let Yu Zhen Daogu teach him to read and write, so that he can have a reason to communicate directly with Yu Zhen Daogu.
It's just that he hasn't dared to do it.
Now Yu Zhen Daogu took the initiative to teach herself literacy, so she saved the risk.
The benefits are numerous.
Even if his literacy will cause a sensation in the Chongyang Temple, it can also bring him some opportunities, such as understanding the Chongyang Concept and understanding the outside world...
Like now, he can only stay in the bamboo forest, without any understanding of the outside world.
Because he simply does not have this channel, and he does not dare to contact the outside world casually.
After Hong Jiu Daoist left, Yu Zhen Daogu beckoned to Ye Cheng.
Ye Cheng understood and hurriedly picked up the wooden box.
It's very heavy, estimated to be a few dozen pounds.
Entered the house.
Yu Zhen asked Ye Cheng to open the lid, revealing a box full of books.
She casually took out a copy of it, and on it was written "A Thousand Words Dictionary".
This kind of enlightenment book was also used when she was a child.
Next, she will spend a lot of time teaching Xiaobai to learn human characters.
