Chapter 21

"Okay, you know how to think, know how to use tools, weave fish cages with vines, use rotten internal organs as bait, and catch big fish. You are good, this is the power of wisdom."

"A man cannot chase fish in the water. If he wants to catch fish, he can only succeed by relying on wisdom and making suitable tools. No worse than men, each has its own strengths."

Zhong Yan smiled and said to the clansmen who surrounded him.

I don't forget to use this to once again deepen the impression that people need to use wisdom and learn to use their brains.This point is indeed deeply remembered by many people, because this is a living example, and it is right now.

You can see it, you can touch it.

"Patriarch, I just thought that the patriarch taught everyone to use traps to catch big black bears before. The fish in the river were too difficult to catch, and we couldn't get into the water. So, I wondered if we could make traps, just like catching bears, to catch black bears. Fish, I just made a cage. I didn’t expect it to be successful, it’s because the patriarch taught it well.”

The woman said with a flushed face.

The admiration in his eyes is completely obvious.

"Don't be humble, you can do it, this is your skill."

"The patriarch said before that anyone who can catch fish will be given a surname by himself."

Zhong Yan looked at the woman with a smile, glanced at the big fish in her hand again, and said after pondering: "If you can weave fish cages and catch big fish, then I will give you a surname——Fish!! From today, your name will be It's called Youyu."

"In the future, your children can inherit your surname. Children and grandchildren will never exist."

The woman was very excited, and now she finally has her own last name.

"Youyu, from today onwards, I also have a name, my name is Youyu."

Youyu murmured excitedly, then bowed down to Zhong Yan, and said, "Youyu thank the patriarch for giving you the surname. Youyu will definitely live up to the patriarch's expectations." There was firmness in the voice.

She decided that she must use her brain more in the future to bring more help to the clansmen.

"You Yu Shi, You Yu Shi!!"

The surrounding clansmen cheered and shouted for it.The envy in his eyes was completely revealed on his face.

This is the second person to be given a surname by Zhong Yan himself, and the desire to have his own surname in his heart cannot be expressed in words.This is a surname that can be passed on, and this is the root that they can leave to their children and grandchildren.Who does not desire, who does not want.

But envy is envy, no one is jealous or hateful.

Whether it is the Xiong family or the Yu family, they all obtained their surnames by virtue of their courage and wisdom. They deserved the surnames they got, and no one can question them. This fishing is a fair competition for all, but Yu's can stand out, this is the greatest fairness.

They serve.

But this does not prevent them from being envious, they have a strong desire to obtain the surname given by Zhong Yan.

This kind of desire, Zhong Yan likes to hear and see, only with desire can he be motivated, and with dreams can he work hard.Only in this way can we make every effort to achieve our goals.After all, the examples of Xiong's and Youyu's are vividly in front of them.These two names already represent the two of them. This kind of specialness is naturally enviable.

After all, most people haven't decided on their own surnames yet, and they even want to be given a surname by Zhong Yan.

That is of extraordinary significance, and the inheritance is even more profound.

Let's face it, it's all about the face.

Of course, many people have already begun to think about what kind of name they should choose.After all, it is impossible for everyone to be given a surname by the patriarch. After all, this is a minority, and most of them still have to choose a surname by themselves.Now some people have started to have code names. For example, someone saw a beautiful stone, so he immediately nicknamed himself Stone, and took the stone with him as a symbol. named leaves.

There are many people in this category. I didn’t think about it yesterday, but many people are starting to do it today.

Even if it is not a name rectification, it is still a nickname, a sign of oneself.

People leave their names after death, and geese leave their voices when they pass by.

If there is no name at all, it is nameless, and even death will not leave any traces.

Afterwards, Youyu began to teach some women how to weave fish cages out of rattan, and also tried to weave rattan frames for holding things. These weaves turned out to be good, and they all succeeded after a few tries. It's not very good-looking at first, but it can become more beautiful after you get used to it.This is a useful tool.

By the river, after weaving fish cages, everyone took some black bear viscera as bait, and after putting them into the river, they harvested one after another. Fishes of all sizes were caught. The fish that grow in this river are obviously Quite a few, no one has ever caught them before, and the number is even more astonishing. Now fishing is easier, and soon, there will be a big harvest.

No less than a hundred big fish were caught.

After that, Zhong Yan stopped him.

Tell everyone that for fishing, you can't catch endlessly, you need a long stream of water.

Everyone also accepted it humbly. When enough fish were caught, they stopped fishing and began to make various stone tools. There are quite a few of these big stones, and it takes a lot of effort to polish them. Many people alternately and relay each other to polish them. By the time they are formed, it is already evening.

Xiong took people to set up traps, but they didn't get anything today, so they had to wait tonight to see if they could get anything.Pick it up tomorrow morning.After all, most prey come out at night.

At night, in the cave.

With Zhongyan as the center, a group of people gathered together, and the surrounding area was quite bright under those special light stones, especially according to the special method of arrangement, so that the light was more full, and the cave was no less illuminated by electric lights. .

"Today, I will teach you how to read. First, I will teach you a hundred surnames. After learning the hundred surnames, you can choose one of them as your own name if you wish. Then, I will teach you how to write."

"Characters are the carrier of our human race's civilization inheritance, and the foundation that runs through civilization. Any civilization has its own characters. What I want to teach you is the characters that belong to our human race. The characters of our human race come from pictographs. .Using form as body and image as meaning. Therefore, what I am teaching you now is the ancient seal script."

Zhong Yan said.

Teaching characters is something that has been decided a long time ago, and it is also something that must be done. Only by learning characters can we inherit civilization, and only by learning characters can we acquire knowledge, better understand the whole world, and change naturally.

If you want to understand everything in the world from characters, there is no writing in the world that can compare with Chinese pictographs. After the evolution of pictographs, it is the ancient seal script.It is more beautiful and easy to remember. As for the simplified Chinese characters, Zhong Yan thought about it, and has not taught them yet, and will teach them later.

Everyone is looking forward to things like learning characters. After all, if you can learn knowledge, you can become smarter, know how to use your brain, and help the patriarch do more. matter.

Of course I can't wait.

Many people who have no names want to get their own names even more.

"Now, follow me to read, follow me to learn, and watch me write. You all use branches to write on the ground, so that the river sand you transported can be used repeatedly."

This time, in order to teach them how to learn and practice calligraphy, they are well prepared.

There is river sand by the river, and the collection of these river sands is a good way to practice writing.

In ancient times, the children of poor families had no money to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones. Although they were just a few simple words, the things used by these literati were very expensive, and the poor families could not afford to support them. A book cost dozens of pennies. Hundreds of Wen, or even a few taels of silver, paper, pen and ink are all consumables, expensive, only the rich and the rich have the capital to use it, how can the poor family afford it, and it is difficult to make a noble son from a poor family, this is the truth .

One word, poor! !
Those scholars who came out of poor families are not ordinary people, they are all chosen one in a million, and they broke through from the single-plank bridge. It took a lot of perseverance, hardship and tempering that the children of the aristocratic family could not imagine.There are only a handful of talented people.

Those poor kids who want to practice calligraphy can only use the sand table.This is a way to save money.

It is one thing to practice handwriting well, but the most important thing is to know how to write.

Of course, those are all asides, and everyone can't find a single piece of paper, so they can only use the sand table.This is already the best result.

"Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang."

Zhong Yan opened his mouth and read.

"Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu Zheng Wang."

Everyone followed in unison.

"Feng Chen Chuwei, Jiang Shen Han Yang."

"Zhu Qin You Xu, He Lu Shi Zhang."

"Kong Cao Yan Hua, Jin Wei Tao Jiang."

"Thank you Zou Yu, Bai Shui Dou Zhang."

The sound of reading kept ringing in the cave. Zhong Yan didn't teach everything at once, but only taught a part, and then he wrote it himself, and asked everyone to copy it, and started to learn it word by word.Learning a hundred surnames means that you can learn hundreds of characters.After that, the study will also come naturally.

This study lasted for no less than an hour before Zhong Yan asked everyone to rest.

"It is true that I have a very high talent for learning. It is true that my spiritual palace ability has an impact on them. There is an increase in learning, and the understanding is extremely high. In the previous modern times, all of them are geniuses, the first generation of people , The advantage is huge, it is indeed a treasure."

After Zhong Yan watched everyone lie down, he was also secretly delighted.

Smart, learns things quickly, and can draw inferences from one instance.

This is definitely the reason for the first generation of people, all of them can be called innate Taoism.Nature has unusual gifts.

Such clansmen are all treasures.

"I don't know how many people can be saved in the process of growing up."

There was a light in Zhong Yan's eyes.
