The next morning, Cheng Mo went downstairs to look for the fierce cypress with a bamboo basket in his hands. Cheng Lingqu was carried on his back, her little feet dangling leisurely and she was babbling something, but Cheng Mo didn't mind the noise.

"Xiaomo, you come so early today?" Kong Fu, who was taking a walk outside, was a little surprised to see Cheng Mo. In the past, Cheng Mo would go to tend to the fields first and then come to them.

"Kong Fu, are you alone? Where's Xiaoyi?" Cheng Mo waved his hand.

"Xiaoyi is feeding the ferocious crow in there. I feel bored alone, so I came out for a walk first." Kong Fu smiled and pinched Cheng Lingqu's little feet.

"Ah! Dad! Papa!" Cheng Lingqu dodged Kong Fu's hand with a smile, shouting incoherently.

"Where are the high priest and the others?" Cheng Mo asked, putting down what he was holding.

"I took the children out early in the morning to weed and water the plants. It's been very hot these past two days, and the high priest said we should go out early and come back early." Kong Fu looked at the basket on the ground curiously. There were two square objects in it, which looked quite heavy.

"Oh, I see. Then I'll go find them over there. Don't be too tired. Go back and have some rest." Cheng Mo looked at Kong Fu's belly. Kong Fu looked thin and weak. He felt tired seeing her walking around with a big belly every day.

"Why don't you wait here? I see what you're carrying is so heavy." Kong Fu stretched out her hand to stop him.

"Okay." Cheng Mo felt that carrying these things along the way was heavy. Anyway, his main task today was to teach everyone to read and plant, and the planting techniques would be fine slowly. Besides, there were many things he didn't understand and he needed to study them carefully. He didn't know what he could teach them when he went there.

Not long after, the sounds of the cubs fighting and the laughter of the fierce cypress were heard outside. Cheng Mo went out to take a look and happened to meet the fierce cypress who was coming back with a lot of vegetables and fruits.

Xiong Bo saw Cheng Mo here and asked, "Cheng Mo, why are you here so early today? We have already weeded and watered the fields, so you don't have to go there then."

Cheng Mo nodded and said seriously: "High Priest, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Xiong Bo looked at Cheng Mo's serious expression and hurried over: "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

Cheng Moti took two books and sat on a chair outside: "High Priest, I want to ask, what method do you usually use to record things?"

"Record something?" Xiong Bo didn't understand why Cheng Mo asked this question, but he still answered: "Orally or by the tribal high priest."

"Have you ever thought about the possibility of forgetting?" Cheng Mo nodded. It seemed that there was indeed no text here.

"Indeed, the older we get, the easier it is to forget, so we choose the next generation of high priests early on and educate them by our side. I was only twelve years old when I became the high priest!" The high priest sighed when he recalled the time when he was forced to study.

"I want to teach you how to read and record things in writing. As long as you can recognize the words, you don't have to work so hard to memorize them with your brain." Cheng Mo handed over the two books in his hand.

"Learning to read?" The high priest took the two books puzzled. When he opened them, colorful pictures of "Children's Literacy Encyclopedia" appeared. Xiong Bai touched the pictures curiously: "Is this the text? It looks like the totem of those big tribes!"

"Totem?" Cheng Mo thought that those big tribes already had their own writing.

"Yes, when I was a child, I went to a big tribe to trade with the previous generation of high priests. The totem of that big tribe also had colors and looked very beautiful, but your totem is so complicated!" Xiong Bai pointed to the pattern in the book.

Cheng Mo then realized that the totem in Xiong Bai's mouth was actually a pattern, not a word, so he pointed to one of the words and said, "Words are different from totems. There are many words, and each word represents a different meaning. When combined together, the meaning expressed is also different."

Xiongbai vaguely felt that he seemed to have touched something extraordinary. He leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Is this thing the intention of the Beast God?"

"What beast god?" Cheng Mo asked puzzledly.

"Aren't you the messenger of the Beast God?" Xiong Bai always thought that Cheng Mo came from a big tribe and knew a lot of things, but Cheng Mo just said that the totem and characters of that big tribe were different, and he had never heard of such a thing as characters, so he thought Cheng Mo should be the messenger of the Beast God.

"No, I'm just an ordinary person, uh... an ordinary female." Cheng Mo was still not used to calling herself a female.

"Then these words..." Xiong Bo pointed at the book on the table.

Cheng Mo couldn't explain it clearly. He couldn't say that what he did was a system task. He could only pretend to take the book on the table and ask: "Just tell me whether you want to learn it or not!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Learn, we must learn!" Xiong Bai hurriedly put his hands on the book, afraid that Cheng Mo really would not teach them to read.

Cheng Mo nodded and said, "Okay, wait until they come back from hunting at noon, and then we'll start studying after dinner. Studying at night will tire our eyes, so we'll study after lunch."

The kids around squatted on the side and watched the conversation between the high priest and Cheng Mo in confusion, not knowing that they would usher in a rich study life from today!

The people who went out hunting at noon came back very early. Cheng Mo was delighted to find that Banmu and his companions had brought back two sheep-like creatures. 079 also came out to confirm that these were sheep.

The two sheep huddled together and trembled under the pressure of the orcs. Cheng Mo surrounded the two sheep and asked curiously, "Where did you catch them?"

One of the dark-skinned orcs glanced at the two prey and said, "I found a group of them under a cliff, but they were very alert. They scattered before we got too close."

Cheng Mo recognized that the orc was called Xiong Tai. When he first heard this name, Cheng Mo could not help laughing, causing everyone to look at him in confusion. Xiong Tai had a ferocious look, and the animal patterns on his face covered half of his face, making him look even more ferocious. In fact, he was a very gentle and careful person. He would always clean up after everyone had finished their meal, and he would always clean up after every hunt.

"Banmu said he would bring two live ones back for you to raise." Xiongtai took the bowl of water handed over by Kongyi, took a sip and said.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Mo turned around and looked at Ban Mu. Ban Mu was just about to untie the vines on the two sheep's feet. He was afraid that the two preys would escape on the way, so it was Xiong Tai who suggested using these vines to tie the two preys' feet together.

Cheng Mo walked up to Ban Mu and said, "Thank you, Ban Mu."

Ban Mu looked back at Cheng Mo, his face slightly reddened: "It's okay, Xiao Mo, just tell me what you want."

Cheng Mo pointed at two sheep and said, "These two are sheep. Their fur is very warm. If we had a weaving machine, we could make wool yarn. But it doesn't matter if we don't have a weaving machine. Their fur grows very fast. We can just pluck it off. They will keep growing fur."

But Cheng Mo was a little worried. They didn't have the right tools, and the two sheep might suffer for a while. Banmu was about to put the two sheep and the bison together, but Cheng Mo stopped him quickly: "Wait, Banmu, put them separately and put them in another place."

Banmu nodded, Xiongtai stood up and followed Banmu to find suitable trees to make a fence. Cheng Mo grabbed the wool of the two sheep. Maybe it was because the weather was too hot recently, and the sheep that had been shaved had naturally fallen wool. Cheng Mo grabbed a lot of it, and soon he had grabbed a lot of it. The two shivering sheep stopped hiding when they saw that Cheng Mo did not hurt them, but stood quietly and let Cheng Mo grab the wool off their bodies.

Banmu and Xiongtai worked together to build a sheep pen on the other side of the cow pen, and set up a shed like the cow pen in the sheep pen. The two sheep driven into the sheep pen were huddled together and didn't even dare to eat the grass that Cheng Mo threw in. Cheng Mo looked at the fence of the sheep pen and felt that the two sheep would not be able to jump out of the fence with their skills, so he left.
