A guide to surviving in the world of beasts

Hu Yi and Su Ling returned to their own small cave together and did not live in the big cave with their tribesmen. The facilities in their cave were more complete than those in the big cave.

As other tribesmen were busy during this period, they only made beds in the big cave and did not have time to make beds in their own caves, so they all lived together in the big cave so that they could take care of each other if anything happened.

However, if some tribesmen want to spend some time alone, they will return to their own small cave and stay there for a few nights. Everyone knows this tacitly.

The two returned to the cave, and Su Ling told Hu Yi that she wanted to teach everyone how to write.

Hu Yi brought the boiled water to Su Ling to soak her feet. He found that Su Ling's feet were a little cold when she slept, and it took a long time to warm them up, so after he came back, he went to boil water first and asked her to soak before going to bed. After Su Ling soaked her feet, he sat next to her and replied, "You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't get too tired.

The knowledge you taught me is very useful. Once we all learn how to write, it will be more convenient to record anything we want."

"I know. There is nothing for everyone to do during the winter season, so I will teach you some basics for two hours every day. After the winter season, everyone will be able to master it. These basics are enough for the tribe to use now." Su Ling explained with a smile.

Hu Yi thought about it and said, "Well, let's go to the cave tomorrow and talk to the tribe leader. During the time we build the ice wall, we should take two hours to learn to write after we come back and eat every evening.

It will be a bit tiring during this period. There are not many places where the ice wall needs to be used. It will take at most ten days to repair it. By then, I can have more time to study, and I can also learn shooting at the same time."

Su Ling nodded, thinking for a while and having nothing to say, "That's all, take off your shoes and come in to soak your feet together, otherwise the water will get cold in a while."

"I don't need to soak my feet. I can just wash them casually later."

"No way, soaking your feet more often is good for your health, hurry up." Anyway, soaking your feet is good for your health, and the wooden tub is big enough for one person or two people, so of course they should soak together.

Seeing that Su Ling was determined not to give up until his feet were soaked, Hu Yi reluctantly took off his shoes and put his feet into the water. Su Ling stepped on the instep of his feet, then he squinted his eyes and laughed.

Hu Yi looked at her making a fuss, his face full of doting.

In the big cave, the witch was talking to the clan leader about the strange symbols that Su Ling had drawn on the ground when she was telling a story today.

When the clan leader came back today, he already knew that Su Ling was telling stories to the children, but he didn't expect that the witch had also gone to listen.

Wu continued, "Su Ling said that those strange symbols are words. They are words that can be written down from the words we say and the things we see in our daily lives."

The clan leader pondered for a moment and said, "Hu Yi must know about this. Since Su Ling can write it down in front of everyone generously, she should want to teach everyone. When they come tomorrow, I will go and ask them to see what Su Ling plans to do."

"That's good. If we can really record it in writing, then a lot of things can be passed down, and the tribe can develop better."

After the discussion, they went to sleep. They were very tired and cold after building the ice wall today.

The next day, Hu Yi carried Su Ling to the cave early. As soon as they entered the cave, the tribe leader arranged for other tribesmen to chisel ice first.

Originally, molds were made to freeze ice cubes, but some tribesmen saw that the ice on the river surface could be used and was very thick, so they went up to chisel it. The tribe leader did not stop them. He felt it was pretty good and convenient anyway, as long as they were careful not to fall into the river.

He called Su Ling and the other person, and went aside with Wu to discuss the writing matter.

But it's a pity for those little kids. After listening to "Journey to the West" yesterday, they have been looking forward to Su Ling telling the rest of the story the next day.

Today, they got up early at dawn and lay at the entrance of the cave, eagerly waiting for Su Ling to arrive. After waiting for Su Ling to arrive with great difficulty, they were called away by the tribe leader. Everyone squatted not far from them, watching them eagerly.

Su Ling noticed the eager eyes of these cubs as soon as she entered the cave, but she had some important business to attend to at the moment, so she motioned for them to wait a moment.

The clan leader also saw it and scolded with a smile, "Why are you all squatting here? We have something to discuss. Go play over there for a while. I'll call you when we're done."

A smaller orc named Hu Shi replied with a smile, "Chief, we will wait here and will not speak a word. We will not disturb you from talking."

"You guys go back first. Don't worry. After I finish talking to the clan leader, I will come back to tell you the story. I won't forget it." Seeing that they were all squatting on the side and watching eagerly, Su Ling felt quite pressured and could only persuade them.

The cubs stared at Su Ling for a while, and seeing that she was definitely not going to take back her words, they could only leave dejectedly.

Su Ling found it funny, shook her head helplessly, looked at the clan leader and asked, "Clan leader, is there something that made you keep us here?"

Wu gently said, "It's like this, Su Ling, yesterday when you were telling stories to the cubs, you wrote some strange symbols on the ground, which you said were words.

I can see that writing plays an important role in recording important information in the tribe, so I discussed it with the tribe leader yesterday and would like to trouble you to teach everyone some simple writing."

Su Ling and Hu Yi looked at each other. She had just discussed with Hu Yi yesterday that they would come to the clan leader today to talk about teaching everyone how to write. Unexpectedly, they found her. It seemed that the clan leader and his companions attached great importance to writing.

Su Ling was naturally happy. She didn't need to do any ideological work on the two. Su Ling was relaxed and happy. "Hu Yi and I discussed it yesterday. We want to teach everyone to learn how to write. I will teach everyone for two hours every day when we come back for dinner. What do you think, Chief?"

"Okay, I'll tell you guys at lunch," the chief said. "That's all I want to say. If there's nothing else, I'll go check on the ice wall construction."

Hu Yi saw that nothing was wrong, so he left with the tribe leader.

Seeing the chief had left, the cubs ran over and said, "Sister Su Ling, can we tell the story now?"

"Okay, I'm coming right away." He looked at Wu and said, "Wu, is there anything else?"

"No, let's go together. I'm also interested in the next story." Wu said with a smile.

Su Ling came to the place where the story was told yesterday. All the people who stayed in the cave, whether adults or children, sat around. When they saw Su Ling coming, they all smiled at her in a friendly manner. Su Ling greeted them and without saying much, continued with yesterday's story.
