I really don't want to be a system

Chen Chao led the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the foot of Tianyuan Mountain, rested in the tribe's new residence, had lunch, and then set off again.

According to Chen Chao's plan, they started heading south.The first tribe was about a hundred kilometers away from the Tianyuan tribe.

It takes about a day and a half to two days to walk.

It took nearly a day for the group of people to get out of the plain at the foot of Tianyuan Mountain, but they were still far away from their destination.

This is also related to the fact that everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is moving forward with heavy loads. Although the wind-powered unicycle can be blessed by the wind from time to time, even if the wind can help it go faster, the weight is still solid.

And since most of the car was pottery, everyone was relatively cautious when leaving.

Finally, before the sun went down, everyone found a cave where they could rest temporarily.

Chen Chao took a look. The cave was neither too big nor too small. It was more than enough for at least seven wheelbarrows and eleven people.

After leading the crowd to push the wheelbarrow into the cave, Super Chen asked the killer five to pick up some firewood.

However, most of the temporary pick-ups are wet wood, but there is nothing to do.Fortunately, the little old man's car has some spare dry wood, and after using up some of it, he will replace it with the wet wood that has been treated today. If there is no accident, it can be used again in a few days.

And as long as you use some combustibles to light up the dry wood and add wet wood when the fire is burning vigorously, you can still use it, and it may not cost much dry wood.

Not long after the killer five picked up the wood, Qu and others from the unicycle manufacturing department also raised the fire.

After the bonfire was lit, the whole cave quickly became bright and warm.At this time, Chen Chao also brought the little old man back with four pots full of clean snow. By the way, he also asked the Killer Five to pick up eight moderately sized stones at the entrance of the cave to build a simple stove.

After the snow water melted, the little old man put in the air-dried jerky. Not long after, the whole cave was filled with a strong meaty aroma.

Before serving the pot, the little old man carefully opened an animal skin bag that he carried with him, and added a little salt into each pot with a clean spoon.

When the broth was ready, everyone took out their clay bowls and waited quietly for the food to be distributed.

After dinner, Chen Chao took out a log that was about to burn out, burned it on the mountain, and let it cool down for a while.

And asked everyone else to take off the hemp nest, and the animal skins wrapped around the feet, and the limbs were also taken off together, and dried carefully near the campfire.

After all, after walking in the snow for a day, Mawozi was almost completely soaked by the snow, although there were still several layers of animal skins to protect the feet.But if you don't take it off at night, it's easy to get frostbite.

After the wood was almost cooled, Super Chen went to the little old man's exclusive trolley to find a piece of wood that had been prepared before departure, and began to draw on it by the light of the fire.

The little old man with the ram's horn leaned forward to have a look, what are these black streaks here and there?
The little old man asked curiously, "What is this...?"

Chen Chao pointed to the right black line and said, "This line starts from our tribe to here, and then this line goes from there to the entrance of our cave. Nuo, look at the shape here, does it look like A cave."

After such a long period of language learning, especially if Chen Chao still had nothing to do, he would make up lessons with the little old man and Yuan Kai.So now the two of them can quickly understand most of the meaning expressed in Chen Chao's daily speech.

Of course, as long as some new vocabulary and words containing multiple meanings are not involved, the two of them can still grasp and understand the core idea of ​​Chen Chao's speech relatively quickly.

At this moment, a member of the wheelbarrow manufacturing department also came up, it was Li Nong who was missing two fingers, and he was also very interested in the wooden board in Chen Chao's hand.

Chen Chao glanced at Li Nong, but didn't intend to drive him away.Anyway, it was meant to be explained to the little old man. Since he is interested, it doesn't matter if one more person listens to it.

Moreover, Chen Chao's impression of Li Nong was very deep, mainly because of his severed finger.

His fingers were froze when he went out to look for food in winter. Wudu said it was hopeless. At that time, the people in the tribe had no hope for him. In the end, he just took the stone knife and cut the two fingers. The necrotic finger survived a spring, and gradually recovered in summer.

When Super Chen knew about this, he sighed in his heart, 'This is such a cruel person! '

The little old man nodded, and Chen Chao looked at it. The shadow of the little old man was stretched by the swaying flames, and the horns on his head were also projected onto the cave wall, forming a deformed figure behind him. There are also some lovely huge black shadows.

Sitting next to the other hand was Li Nong, his figure was also projected onto the wall by the swaying firelight, and his burly body appeared even bigger under the light and shadow.

The people in the cave sat together in twos and threes and chatted in low voices. Sometimes they spread their own animal skin quilts and fell asleep. This was because they had to wake up to watch the middle night and the night later, so Chen Chao told them to go to bed early. Get some sleep and get enough energy early.

Qu brought another member of the Killer Five to watch the morning near the entrance of the cave, and pay attention to the situation of the bonfire in the cave from time to time. Afterwards, no matter whether they were on duty at midnight or midnight, their responsibilities were the same as those of Qu's group of watchmen on the previous night. the same.

Chen Chao took his eyes back and continued to explain to the little old man, "If we record all the tribes we have visited this time with wooden boards, will we not need the two of us to lead them next time? Can these places be found?
Or if you get lost, can this board also be used as a reference for the correct direction? "

The little old man kept nodding while listening to what Chen Chao said. The little old man also recognized and agreed with what he said.

It's just that he raised another very important question, "Charcoal, planks, will fall. And, one copy."

Chen Chao thought for a while, and guessed what the little old man meant, charcoal drawings on wooden boards were easily washed away by water, or easily lost.And there is only one plank, what if other people also need to know the route?
There are two main problems raised by the little old man, one is the storage problem of wooden records, and the other is the problem of quantity.

The first problem was easy to solve. Chen Chao picked up a relatively sharp stone from the ground, and began to dig out a pit bit by bit along the black line he had drawn.

The little old man quickly understood what Chen Chao meant, and he excitedly took the wood from Chen Chao's hand, and began to dig happily.

After solving the first problem, Chen Chao said with a smile, "Wu, this thing is called a map. It uses symbols, lines, colors, text notes, etc. to depict and show what the places we have visited look like in a certain proportion.

For example, in the cave where we are temporarily resting, there is an icon representing the cave.Not only the caves have icons, but also the mountains, rivers, and small rivers you encounter at that time must be recorded.

Even if there are any good things nearby, such as fruit groves, you can write them down.

Then we went to other tribes, what did this tribe look like, how many mountains and rivers we had to go around, and what good things we met.

In this way, we don't need to come in person in the future, and other people in the tribe will also know the specific situation.

And you see, words can also be used here.Many things that cannot be expressed by pictures can be expressed by words at once.

For example, if there is something in this area, there is no way to express it with a picture, so can you explain it roughly in words? "

After the little old man finished listening, he digested it silently for a while, and then exclaimed, "Ah, then this...what is it, it is useful! No need...we...here...the word...use it here..."

Chen Chao thought for a while, what the little old man meant was that this map is really useful. If there is still a need for transactions in the future, people in the tribe can take the map and go around, so there is no need for us high-level managers to run around. to go.And I didn't expect that the characters I learned could still be used here!
