survival in the wilderness

Chapter 12 Write Your Name

The small team started exploring again.

Lin Yan changed his mind.

"If you see plants that grow differently, tell me. If I know them, I'll tell you, so that we can all learn."

This is an opportunity for Fat Bao to record all species, which may be used in the future.You can also get contribution value, killing two birds with one stone.

Huahua was the first to say: "Okay, okay, Lin Yan, you know so much, I'm so envious."

"That's right, Lin Yan knows everything, we look for her if we don't know each other." Ye Ya dragged her little milk and said, he was the youngest child besides Lin Yan.

These days, she got to know Lin Yan well, and she seemed to be her little follower and staunch supporter.Everything Lin Yan said was right, and everything Lin Yan did was right. Lin Yan was the most powerful person.

Mu Shi took five children alone, strolling in the tribe, passing by other houses, some children saw it and followed.

After a while, there were more than ten children.

All the children were overjoyed. While playing, they looked for plants and plants they didn't know, and then listened to Lin Yan explaining the names and uses of plants and plants.

These things are too novel for them, and open a magical door to simple children.

They yearn for the unknown and yearn for omniscience.

Lin Yan seemed to know everything, and he could talk about everything he encountered.

The group of children is getting bigger and bigger, and the problems are various and chaotic, but Lin Yan can handle them with ease.

Mu Shi was also fascinated by what he heard. It turns out that these seemingly ordinary plants and trees are so comprehensive and so different.

A child asked: "Some grass names are very similar, why are they so different?"

Lin Yan was taken aback, "Are you saying that the name sounds like it?"

"Yeah, they sound similar, but they look different, and they don't look the same." This is an older boy, Shui Sheng, who is already ten years old.

I didn’t go hunting with A Niang today, I was resting at home, and seeing this group of children following up curiously, I was fascinated as soon as I heard it.

"That's a different word, but the pronunciation is the same." Lin Yan said casually, and had a bad feeling right after he finished speaking.

Sure enough, Little Stone immediately asked, "What is the word?"

"Uh, characters are words and are used for recording." Lin Yan explained.

But the children who had never been exposed to words couldn't imagine what it was, so they pestered Lin Yan to figure it out.

She gave an example and wrote her own name.It uses the font she is familiar with, Simplified Chinese.

Another example is numbers.

It immediately attracted the attention of all the children, and they asked Lin Yan to teach them how to write their names.

Finally, Lin Yan decided: "Starting tomorrow, I will teach you how to learn characters and counting."

Lin Yan made this decision carefully.

Although the conditions are immature now, without paper and pen, there are more ways than difficulties.People are busy surviving, but the children in the tribe are fine, just ready to learn, and they will always be needed.

After getting in touch these days, Lin Yan discovered that the children in the tribe are not stupid, they are very clever and have a good memory.

What she said once, after a few days, they all still remembered.

Not only children, but also wood and stone.

Mu Shi is old and his health is not good, but his mind is very good.

As long as you have a good mind, are you afraid you won't be able to survive?

Next, she will lead everyone to create and improve the life of the savages.

As it was getting late, Mu Shi hugged Lin Yan and led Ye Ya back.

They spent the whole afternoon accepting new things and were addicted to them. Mu Shi didn't care about cutting trees at all, and the three of them returned empty-handed.

Mushi was making dinner and was cooking broth when the bonus and leaves came back.

"It smells so good, I can smell it from a long distance." Ye Zi took a deep breath, "With the fire, the food is so good, I don't want to eat raw meat anymore. Fire is really a good thing."

While checking whether Lin Yan was injured, Huahong said, "Fire is good. Now I use it, and everyone doesn't eat raw meat anymore. I met Ah Hong from Huang Ye's family today and said that there was a fire. Her mother Huang Huang Ye was able to eat, and his health gradually improved."

"Really?" Ye Zi was surprised, "Huang Ye is the oldest person in the tribe, and her health is getting worse and worse. If this is true, that would be great."

The elderly have experienced a lot and can bring life experience to the tribe.Everyone hopes that Huangye can live longer.

"It's true. Ah Hong specifically told me that she is grateful to Lin Yan for discovering Tinder."

"That's good, I hope Huangye can live a few more cold seasons."

The broth was ready, and the few of them had a simple meal and were going to rest.

Mu Shi suddenly said: "Today, Lin Yan talked about words and numbers, and tomorrow he will teach the children how to learn."

Huahong and Yezi were startled, and said in unison, "What is that?"

Wood and Stone picked up the burnt stick, one end was charred black, and picked up a stone slab.

Under the light of the fire, he slowly wrote the words "wood and stone" on the slate.

The handwriting was crooked, his hands were trembling, and Mu Shi was very excited. Since Lin Yan scratched his name on the ground, he remembered it in his heart.

After I came back and endured until now, I still couldn’t hold back and wrote it.

After finishing writing, he looked at Lin Yan, "Isn't it?"

Lin Yan nodded appreciatively, "That's right. You are so good, Mu Shi, you'll know it at a glance."

Hua Hong hurriedly asked, "Is this Mu Shi's name?"

"Yes, Ma'am, do you want to know how to write your name?"

Hua Hong immediately said: "I think, teach me quickly."

Ye Zi also came back to her senses, not to be outdone, "And mine, I want to write my name too."

What others have, they should also have, this is what they think at the moment.

Lin Yan took the slate and the stick, and wrote down the names of Huahong and Yezi.

The two of them quickly found the slate and wooden sticks, and practiced according to what Lin Yan wrote.

Mu Shi found two more slates, gave Ye Ya one, and wrote his name on the slates stroke by stroke.

Then, Lin Yan noticed that the smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter as they stared at the slate with their names written on them.

After a while, Huahong came back to her senses and asked, "This is words, what's the use of writing down names?"

"Aniang, there are so many people in the tribe, not everyone knows you. Acquaintances know your name is Huahong, but people who don't know it well. If everyone knows characters, as long as you write it down, people who don't know you can also know your name. "

"Writing is a kind of record and inheritance. When everyone understands writing, whatever you want to leave for future generations can be passed on through writing."

Ye Ya had an idea, "When A Niang is not at home, someone is going to find A Niang. I also want to send a message to A Niang, but I don't want people to know. I can also send it in words, right?"

"Yeah, Ye Ya is really smart." Lin Yan praised immediately.

Ye Ya's eyes became brighter, and her small body stood up unconsciously.

"Words still have a lot of uses, and everyone will know later. Next, let's learn to count, first learn 0 to 9..."

They studied very seriously and wrote down everything Lin Yan said.Some are very simple and can be understood immediately, while others cannot be understood and memorized first.

This night, the four people who learned their own names and numbers were very satisfied and couldn't sleep because of the excitement.

In other families in the tribe, those who have children with them are talking to the family members, writing their names, and showing off the numbers they have learned.
