Chapter 126 Counting
The people who were called back by Wang Lang looked at Wang Lang with some doubts. They didn't know what to do if they didn't go to bed after eating. After a long day of exhaustion, after eating and drinking, what they wanted to do most now was to lie in the grass shed Next, have a good sleep.

"Patriarch, it's so late, is there anything else to do?" Bark asked everyone's puzzled question.

Wang Lang looked at the yawning clansmen in front of him, and said, "There's nothing to waste your energy, it's just that I'm going to teach you how to count."

"Count?" asked Bark.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "It's just counting, which is very useful to you."

"What is that count?" Lin Huo asked.

Wang Lang said: "Counting is to let people know how many people there are in our tribe and how many days have passed. This is the same as everyone's name. It will not be simply called you, me or him, so counting is for you. It must be mastered.”

Lin Huo scratched his head and said, "It sounds like something very useful."

Wang Lang smiled and said: "Of course it is useful, just like you know that a person has two hands, two feet, and one head. One and two are counting. What I want to teach you is to count more things."

Every time Wang Lang finished a sentence, it was Kong Yi or Kong Er who would translate it. Although these people could understand some simple words, they still couldn’t understand the sentences. Language can only be mastered by time. For this matter, Wang Lang has nothing to do. He can only hope that they learn faster. This will save others from translating. As far as the translation level of Kong Yi and the others is concerned, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not confuse their own meaning. wrong.

After Kong Yi finished translating, Wang Lang looked at all the focused eyes, smiled and said, "Now I ask you to grow your own fingers."

After Wang Lang finished speaking, Kui Rui stretched out his hand and looked at his fingers over and over again. No one has ever thought about how many fingers they have grown, but now, they are curious about this question. How many fingers did you grow?

Seeing how everyone was looking at their fingers, Wang Lang couldn't help thinking that when he was in elementary school, the teacher would check the fingernails of the students, which made him feel amused.

Wang Lang coughed, calmed everyone down, and said, "I'll tell you now that there are ten fingers on both hands. Today I will teach you to count from one to ten."

After watching people listening to his speech carefully, he clenched his right fist and raised his fist and said: "Now make a fist with your right hand and stretch out your thumb. This is one."

Kong Yi stretched out his thumb according to what Wang Lang said, while translating for others.

Seeing that everyone raised their thumbs up, he continued: "I have one finger on my body, but now I have two fingers in total. This is two."

According to this method, it took Wang Lang nearly half an hour to give them one to ten. Human beings are naturally curious about new things, and they find counting very interesting.

After Wang Lang finished teaching, people sat on the ground and counted from one to ten with their fingers. Whenever someone got the wrong number, there would be a roar.

Looking at the rising moon, Wang Lang said, "It's getting late, everyone go to rest!"

People stood up from the ground and counted their fingers while walking. After living for so long, people now know that they have grown ten fingers in total.

People who were tired all day, after lying down, there was a lot of snoring. Wang Lang was also a little tired today. After a day's work, he stood in a military posture for more than half an hour. Lying in the thatched cottage fell into a deep sleep.

After a good night's sleep, yesterday's exhaustion has long been swept away. Since people saw that Wang Lang washed his face every morning, other people also started to wash their faces, but the water in the tribal tank is for drinking. Yes, a group of people can only go to the river and line up along the river bank in a long line, and wash their buttocks with the cool river water. After washing their faces, people immediately feel refreshed.

After a simple breakfast, people continued to repeat yesterday's work. The second car was almost finished. After finishing the third car, Wang Lang felt that he should send some people to the copper mine to transport some copper back.

While the people in the west haven't noticed him, it's a serious matter to seize all the time to improve his strength, otherwise he will be taken away by others, and he will be thrown into the face of modern people.

The field for growing cucumbers has been dug up, and today the women are going to plant the cucumber seeds that have been dried in the shade. Wang Lang watched for a while, and saw that there was nothing to correct, so he encouraged these women, and talked with the others. The people continue to clear the weeds in the field.

The idle child, with the two little wolves chasing and fighting non-stop on the grassland outside the tribe, made Wang Lang feel as if he had returned to the rural production team in the 60s and [-]s.

With the joint efforts of more than 30 people, the progress of clearing weeds is very fast. In a few days, nearly ten acres of land have been cleared. Wang Lang estimates that in a day or two, the cleared land will basically meet his requirements. .

Thinking of twenty or thirty mu of land covered with golden yellow millet, the imagery made people extremely excited, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, work hard, clean up these lands, and the harvest will be grain in the future. Soak the corn and rice in broth after eating, does it taste delicious?"

When people heard the words, they all remembered, and replied loudly: "Xiang!"

Wang Lang smiled and said: "If you want to eat delicious corn every day, the sooner the land is cleared, we can harvest corn one day earlier. Imagine that one day in the future, we will plant corn in this grassland in front of us. Then we You can eat whatever you want every day, even if you lie on the grain and sleep, no one will take care of you."

Listening to Wang Lang's vision of the future, everyone was fascinated by it. If there was such a day, they felt that they would not change it for a god to do it. Unknowingly, everyone was stimulated by lying on the grain and sleeping. , the movements of the hands were much faster, as if the weeds in front of them had a deep hatred for them, one by one wielding daggers and sickles, cutting down the weeds with ferocious faces.

When the sun is hot, people will soak in the cool river water to avoid the hot sun. Usually, there will be some unexpected harvests at this time. There are many fish and shrimps in this river, and there are some reptiles such as turtles. These slow-moving animals Animals are sometimes caught by people and thrown on the shore for extra meals at night.
