So I went to Douluo.

Chapter 1391: The Puzzle Is Solved

——On the first day, teach them how to make fire, hunt, and build a house.

……

The first night in the woods.

The children carefully used a rope bow made of vines and quickly rotated a wooden stick sharpened by a stone axe on a piece of wood with a small groove dug in it.

The groove was lined with sawdust, and they stared nervously at the spot where the sharpened stick met the sawdust.

Until white smoke came out there, and the wood chips suddenly turned charred and quickly curled up and shrank.

Then, jump out to Mars.

The children quickly picked up the smoking wood chips, put them to their mouths and blew air into them carefully.

The sparks flickered with the breath, and at a certain moment, they suddenly rose into a small ball of orange-red flame.

The children cheered and transferred the fire to the pile of wood that had already been prepared.

After a while, the small flame turned into a raging fire.

They spontaneously held hands and circled around the violently dancing bonfire.

He kept shouting happily: "Fire! Fire!"

When we were tired of running, we sat around the campfire and stared at the dancing flames in fascination.

Tang Liu said to them, "Have a good rest tonight, and we will go hunting in the mountains tomorrow.

"I'll collect the materials and teach you how to make a fire starter.

"With the fire starter, you can make a fire anytime you want."

The children could only roughly understand what he said, but they still looked at him in surprise and expectation, saying, "Wow!"

Tang Wulin also exclaimed, "Uncle, what is a fire stick?"

Tang Liu smiled and said, "You can think of it as the most primitive lighter."

Tang Wulin: "I want to learn too!"

Its daybreak.

Tang Liu led a group of children up the mountain.

Make simple wooden spears and build simple traps.

After cutting down the bamboos, I scraped dog-hair saltpeter from the stone wall beside the pond.

Then crush the charcoal from last night's bonfire into powder.

After a series of operations, everyone has a fire starter.

Throughout the afternoon, the children were curious about using tinder to make fire, lighting and extinguishing the wood chips over and over again until the novelty wore off.

Tang Wulin was extremely shocked. He held the small bamboo tube in his hand and asked, "Why can it keep the fire forever?"

Tang Liudao: "It's a re-ignition phenomenon. The nitrate in the tinderbox is a combustible material that has been ignited, but it lacks an accelerant, that is, oxygen, so the fire does not burn vigorously.

"Take some out and blow air at it, which is to deliver enough oxygen to it in a short time. When the concentration of the accelerant is high enough, the fire will naturally start.

"But my explanation may not be correct. If you are still interested after logging off the line, go and check it out online yourself."

Tang Wulin: "I understand, hehe!"

When the sun went down, Tang Liu took a group of children up the mountain again to check the traps that had been set earlier.

Then he came back with a few hares and pheasants to deal with.

The children didn’t know how long it had been before they had their first meal of meat.

From then on, Tang Liu took them to repeat the process of hunting and gathering in the mountains.

By the way, I taught them to build simple sheds with bamboo and wood to shelter from wind and rain.

Until the children can go out hunting and gathering on their own.

Survive on your own.

then.

……

——On the second day, teach them writing, communication, and record-keeping.

……

"The sky and earth are dark yellow, the universe is vast and boundless. The sun and moon wax and wane, the stars are lined up. Winter comes and summer goes, autumn harvests and winter stores..."

A young man in blue clothes sat cross-legged on a rock. In front of him were several logs with children sitting in a row on them.

Some were listening attentively to the young man reciting scriptures, while others were resting their chins and looking elsewhere, their minds wandering. This was especially true for the girl who had been holding the baby.

Suddenly, a small stone fell on the girl's head.

The girl cried out “Ouch” and covered her head.

At the same time, Qinglie's gentle voice sounded.

"Xiao Hong, if you don't listen carefully, I will punish you by making you copy the Thousand Character Classic today."

She looked at the young man sitting on the rock in front of her and puffed her cheeks: "It's not fair, they didn't listen either!"

The person she pointed at immediately straightened his back and placed his hands properly on his legs.

The girl pouted: "Besides, teacher, we have been listening to the Thousand Character Classic for so many days. When can we change to something else?"

Tang Liu smiled and looked at her: "Why, you remembered everything? Can you write it down completely by yourself?"

The girl's eyes widened: "These are two different things!"

Tang Liu curled his lips and said, "There are some truths in the Thousand Character Classic that are easiest to understand. The purpose of learning it is to enlighten you and to let you recognize more words.

"Otherwise, how long will you wait before you can give yourself a good name?"

When this matter was mentioned, the children became visibly excited.

Regardless of the fact that they were in class, they started discussing with each other and the people around them.

The girl raised her hand again and said, "Teacher, I have already given myself a name!"

Tang Liu looked at her and smiled: "Oh, really? Tell me about it."

The girl said happily: "My elder brother brought back some books last time, and I found a very beautiful word in it, with three "水" characters!

"I asked my elder brother how to pronounce the word, and he taught me that the word is pronounced 'miao'!
"I like water and fire. Miao has three waters in it, and fire is red, so I named myself Miaohong!"

The other children exclaimed in admiration: "Wow!"

However, Tang Liu couldn't help laughing: "Okay, Miaohong. But the teacher must tell you one thing, are you sure you want to use 'Miao' as your last name?"

The girl was stunned for a moment: "Surname? Does it mean Miao Hong is wrong? What about Hong Miao?"

Tang Liu smiled: "Teacher, that's not what I meant."

The girl puffed up her cheeks: "What exactly is a 'surname', teacher?"

"Surname..." Tang Liu murmured in a low voice, then smiled and said, "If you want to know what a 'surname' is, then today, let's start learning a new article, okay?"

He glanced at the children, watching their reactions.

Then, he smiled and said, "This new article is called Hundred Family Names."

The children said in unison: "Hundred Family Names?"

Tang Liu nodded: "It's the same as before, I'll read a sentence and you follow me.

“Read it through from beginning to end, and then we’ll write it down together.

"Then, you can pick out the last name you like best and use it to name yourself."

Children: “Okay!”

Tang Liu chuckled: "Then let's start now."

He paused and said in a melodious voice: "Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang..."

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

"...Wanqi, Sima, Shangguan, Ouyang..."

"Wanqi Sima, Shangguan Ouyang."

"… Fifth, Yan and Fu, the end of Hundred Family Surnames."

"The fifth word is blessing, the end of the hundred surnames!"

*
*
*
"This word is beautiful! This one is beautiful too!"

"There are so many surnames. It's hard to choose!"

"I saw Hong! Oh, and Miao! These two characters are both surnames!"

"Which one should I choose as my surname?"

"I want the two-word one, it sounds good!"

"I want, too!"

Looking at the children gathered together and chattering about the "Hundred Family Names" that they had written crookedly, Tang Liu pursed his lips and smiled.

He got up from the stone, walked over and said, "Well, have you decided?"
