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

According to Chen Chao's plan, they began to head south. The first tribe is about 100 kilometers away from the Tianyuan tribe.

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

It took the group of people nearly a day to walk out of the plain at the foot of Tianyuan Mountain, but the destination was still far away.

This also has something to do with the fact that everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is carrying a heavy load. Although the wind wheelbarrow can be blessed with wind from time to time, even if the wind can help to go faster, the weight is still solid.

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

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

Chen Chao took a look and found that the cave was not too big, not too small. At least seven wheelbarrows and eleven people were more than enough.

After leading the crowd to push the wheelbarrow into the cave, Chen Chao asked the five assassins to pick up some wood for burning.

However, most of the temporarily recovered were wet wood, but there was nothing to do. Fortunately, there is some spare dry wood in the old man’s car. After a while, I will replace the wet wood processed today. If there is no accident, it can be used again in a few days.

And as long as you use some combustibles to raise the dry wood on the fire, and add wet wood when the fire is burning, it can still be used, and it may not cost much dry wood.

Not long after the five killers picked up the wood, Qu and others from the Wheelbarrow Manufacturing Department also set off the fire.

After the bonfire rose, the whole cave quickly became bright and warm. At this time, Chen Chao also brought the little old man back with a full four pots of clean snow, and by the way also asked the Assassin Group to pick up eight medium-sized stones at the entrance of the cave to build a simple stove.

After the snow melted, the little old man put in the dried meat, and it didn't take long for the whole cave to be filled with a rich smell of meat.

Before being out of the pot, the little old man carefully opened a bag of animal skins he carried with him, and used a clean spoon to add a little salt to each pot.

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

After dinner, Chen Chao took out a piece of wood that was about to burn out, and after destroying it on the mountain, let it cool for a while.

He also asked other people to take off the Mawozi, and take off the animal skins and limbs wrapped around their feet, and carefully dry them near the campfire.

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

After the wood was almost cold, Chen Chao went to the little old man's exclusive trolley to find a plank prepared before departure, and began to draw a picture on it with the light of fire.

The little old man with the horns leaned forward and took a look. What is this dark side by side?

The little old man asked curiously, "What is this...?"

Chen Chao pointed to the black line just right and said, "This one starts from our tribe and goes to here, and then this one goes from there to our cave entrance. No, you see, this shape in this one looks like A cave."

After so long of language learning, Chen Chao, in particular, had nothing to do with the old man and Yuankai Xiaocao to make up lessons. So now the two can quickly understand most of Chen Chao's daily speech.

Of course, as long as some new vocabulary and some words with 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 got together. It was Li Nong who was missing two fingers. He was also very interested in the wooden board in Chen Chao's hand.

Chen Chao glanced at Li Nong, but didn't mean to drive him away. Anyway, [无名故事www.downtxt.net] is to explain to the little old man, since he is interested, it doesn't hurt to have one more person to listen to it.

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

His fingers were frozen when he came out to look for food in the winter. Wudu said that he was not saved. At that time, the people in the tribe had no hope of him, so he just cut the two pieces with a stone knife. The necrotic finger survived a spring, and it gradually got better in summer.

When Chen Chao 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 out by the swaying fire. The horns on his head were also projected onto the wall of the cave. Behind him became a deformed There are also some cute huge shadows.

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

The people in the cave sat together in twos and threes and talked quietly. Sometimes they put on their own animal skin quilts and fell asleep. This was waiting for the meeting to get up and watch midnight and late night, so Chen Chao had asked them to be early Sleep more and raise your energy earlier.

Qu Ze took another member of the killer group of five to watch the morning and night near the entrance of the cave. He also paid attention to the situation of the bonfire in the cave from time to time. After that, whether it was on duty at midnight or midnight, the duties of the eve watcher were the same.

Chen Chao closed his gaze back, and continued to explain to the little old man, “If we record all the tribes we visited this time with a wooden board, would we not use the two of us to lead next time? Can you find these places?

Or if you get lost, can this plank be used as a reference in the right direction? "

The little old man nodded while listening to Chen Chao's words. The little old man also agreed and agreed with what he said.

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

Chen Chao thought about it for a while. It is estimated that the little old man meant that charcoal painted on a wooden board could easily be washed away by water, or easily stained. And there is only one plank. If other people also need to know the route, what should they do?

There are two main problems raised by the little old man, one is the storage of wooden records, and the other is the quantity.

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

The little old man quickly understood what Chen Chao meant. He excitedly took the wood from Chen Chao's hand and started as a happy excavator.

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

For example, in this cave where we are temporarily resting, there is an icon representing the cave. Not only the caves have icons, but the big mountains, rivers, and small rivers you meet will be remembered.

Even if there are good things around here, such as fruit forest, you can write it down.

After that, we went to other tribes, what did this tribe look like, how many mountains and rivers need to be passed, 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, the text can also be used here. Many things that pictures cannot express, can we use words to express them all at once?

For example, if there is something in this area that can't be represented by drawing, can I explain it in words? "

After listening to the little old man, he digested it silently for a while before exclaiming, "Ahhhhhh...what a place, it's useful! No need...we...come...words...use them here..."

Chen Chao thought for a while. The little old man meant that this map is really useful. If you need to trade in the future, people in the tribe can take the map and walk around instead of running around. I went. And I didn’t expect that the text I learned can be used here!
