Survive in the beast world
Chapter 62
In the eyes of the young man beside him, Li Shizhen always felt that there was something in it that he didn't want to understand for a while, and he couldn't face it.Inexplicably, he felt that the room was too warm, making people's breathing difficult, and the silence in the room at this moment was too long, somehow making people's heart beat faster.
Subconsciously, Li Shizhen seemed to want to escape from something. After listening to the story, he walked to the door. It seemed that the white tiger was the huge heat source in the room. If he left a little, he could calm his heartbeat and mood.
The white tiger quietly looked at the back of the female walking away in front of him, the expression in his eyes seemed to be slightly disappointed, but he seemed to have infinite patience to continue to wait for a certain desired result.He is the king of the jungle as a top predator, what he lacks most is patience, isn't he?
Li Shizhen lifted the animal skin and found that it was getting late outside. He breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Baihu and said, "It's getting dark, go back to your room, wash and sleep."
Baihu blinked innocently: "This is my house." It seemed that he had figured out something just now, his eyes lost the burning heat that made Li Shizhen nervous, and he became more relaxed and calm, and regained his composure. The appearance of the big cat familiar to Li Shizhen.
Li Shizhen was a little stunned, relaxed and subtly embarrassed, but thinking about the limited space in this cave, there is no extra room, and he needs to live in the cave to recover from his injuries. It is also appropriate to let him live in Baihu's house temporarily. Meaning, after all, he was brought back by Baihu.
Li Shizhen was a little awkward and entangled, but after thinking about it, he usually shared a room with the big cat anyway, so it seemed okay.With a wave of his hand, he urged the big cat to wash up quickly, and he had to go to Yang Apa's to listen to the story of knotting and remembering things in the morning.
After the two of them lay on the bed, Li Shizhen's sleeping posture was always very good, that is, the kind of lying obediently and not moving all night.
Bai suddenly put his hand on Li Shizhen's left rib lightly: "Does it still hurt?"
As he said this, his warm palms gently covered the wound. Apart from the warmth, Li Shizhen felt a little pain in his left rib, which he just fell again today, and felt a little wronged.He himself was a little surprised, because when he was pushed out of the stone house before, he didn't feel wronged or anything.
Is this wound the same as the kindergarten cousin who fell down?He didn't feel much when no one coaxed him, he would get up quickly by himself; if someone cared and coaxed him, he would feel wronged and sad and even cry?
Feeling amused by his inexplicable association, Li Shizhen organized his thoughts, thinking of the things he discovered during the day, especially the matter of Muapa and the bow, Li Shizhen hesitated again, this is not like those things in the valley just now, it can be Ask directly, after all, it should be something that everyone knows, and it's okay for Li Shizhen to ask.
But Muapa's bow and the word "日" on the bow seem to involve some secret matter. Li Shizhen felt that he just came to this valley. If he accidentally saw other people's privacy, or because he It would be too bad if there was any misunderstanding caused by the report.
Bai was a little surprised by Li Shizhen's hesitant attitude. Is there something unspeakable?
He turned around, got closer to Li Shizhen, and said softly, "Did something happen?"
Li Shizhen hesitated for a moment, but still told the whole story. After all, no matter whether it is good or bad, it is up to Baihu to judge. He grew up in the valley, he is more familiar with the situation, and has a deeper feeling for the valley. What needs to be done? , he himself should know.
After hearing the whole thing, Bai frowned slightly: "Is your wound okay?"
Li Shizhen's heart warmed, and he shook his head slightly: "Yang Apa has already given the medicine, and I changed the medicine, and the pain has long since disappeared."
Bai felt relieved, stretched out his hand to tuck Li Shizhen's quilt, nodded and said, "Well, then go to bed early."
Li Shizhen has black lines all over his head, what kind of attitude is this, shouldn't he explain it?
Seeing Li Shizheng staring at him with dissatisfaction, the big cat smiled slyly and said: "Go to sleep, there are many things, it's just more troublesome to know. Anyway, you just need to know that Muapa is not a bad person, and I am too." That's why I knew he had that bow."
Li Shizhen said in confusion: "But the mark on it..."
Baihu stroked Li Shizhen's recently grown hair on the forehead: "I heard that Mu Apa was rescued by Yang Apa many years ago. Since Yang Apa rescued him, there must be a reason. These things, Yang Apa must know, but he has been here for so many years, so let him go, there is no need to ask so clearly about such things."
So, this is to turn a blind eye and close one's eyes, one thing more is worse than one thing less?After all, he is a member of his clan, as long as there are some things that do not cause any harm, let them go. If you ask too clearly, it will hurt your feelings?
Baihu saw Li Shizhen's convinced face, smiled slightly, and sighed slightly in his heart, this female is so soft-hearted and kind, why should she let him know about those dark and terrible things?Just let him stay in the valley so warmly and peacefully.Anyway, those dirty things are not in front of us, and it's better to stay far away.However, Bai himself really didn't know about Muapa's affairs. After Li Shizhen said this, he felt a little more clear about many things in the past.
Li Shizhen grew up in the city, and the closest people are his brother and mother, and he is surrounded by relatives, classmates and friends. He has no experience of living in such a large family like in the valley. Now that Baihu is willing to believe this, he is even more There is nothing more to say.but--
"Yang Appa is very good? You trust his judgment so much."
Bai Hu chuckled, his magnetic voice seemed like a stringed instrument resonating low in his chest, I don’t know if it was this sound or Bai’s hot breath, Li Shizhen felt his ears were a little itchy, making him want to reach out Scratch it.
"Well, the most powerful person in the valley is Yang Appa, he knows everything."
"Know everything?!"
"Well, when the snow falls, when to go out of the valley, when to gather fir fruit, and when to prepare for the ceremony, it's up to Yang Apa to decide."
"so."
"Have you been to his house?"
"Well, I went there at noon, and there were a lot of ropes. Yang Apa told me to go early tomorrow morning, and he told me the stories on those ropes."
"Hehe, when we were young, Yang Apa always wanted to grab us to listen to those stories. Everyone ran as far as they could, but you went over by yourself."
"But one knot is one thing, so many knots, so many stories, isn't it worth listening to?"
"Okay, okay, it's up to you."
"Didn't Yang Apa tell you about the ancestors you just said?!"
"..."
"Look, you have nothing to say."
……
The conversation didn't know what to stop. In this reassuringly warm and relaxing atmosphere, Li Shizhen fell into a deep sleep unconsciously. Before going to sleep, he was still thinking vaguely, there was something important to do. Tell Baihu to come, um, we can talk about it tomorrow...
Seeing that his breathing was getting heavy, Bai bowed his head and kissed his forehead, stretched out his arms to embrace Li Shizhen in his arms, and gently pressed his chin on Li Shizhen's forehead, feeling the warm and soothing breath of the female in his arms, he He sighed softly, and slowly closed his eyes.
When Li Shizhen woke up, there was no one around him.
It seems that I don’t know since when, that big cat who can only act cute and foolishly got up earlier than Li Shizhen, and always arranged everything in order before Li Shizhen woke up. This process happened so naturally that even Li Shizhen I got used to it before I even realized it.
Bai happened to come back from fetching water from the outside and pour it into the water tank. Seeing Li Shizhen who woke up, he smiled slightly: "Are you up?"
Li Shizhen was a little embarrassed, it seemed that in such a quiet atmosphere in the valley, he really slept very deeply recently: "Morning."
Seeing the busy big cat, Li Shizhen suddenly felt that those days alone in the valley were empty and dull, without any specific content, and passed in a blink of an eye.
Is it because I just woke up that I had this illusion?Or is it because I am more used to the time with big cats by my side?It seems that only like today, this day can be regarded as the real beginning, and the previous ones are not counted.
The busy tall figure next to him even gave Li Shizhen the illusion that time would go on like this forever, as if every morning in the future would definitely start like today, a brand new day.
Shaking his head and waving away those feelings of nothingness, Li Shizhen regained his agile mobility. He quickly changed his coat, tidied up the sheets and quilts on the bed, and then took the pot and animal skin handed to him by the big cat, Start a daily shower routine.
It seems to know that Li Shizhen's vision is not as sharp as that of the orc, so the big cat found a brighter torch from somewhere, and replaced the dim one in the house.
The room suddenly became brighter, and the original torch was extinguished by the big cat and put away on the shelf.
Like a tacit understanding, Li Shizhen instantly understood Bai's thoughts, nodded and smiled and said, "Well, put it on when you go to bed at night." The big cat's smile seemed to be more dazzling under the new torch, which made people look a little dizzy.
Then the big cat dragged a table from the outside, and I don't know where he dragged it. When Li Shizhen continued to wash, he put the table next to the bed, opened the basket he had just brought back, and the breakfast in it was still there. piping hot.
Li Shizhen packed up and walked over, smiling slightly, it seems that there are two meals in the valley, and only the big cat knows that he is used to three meals a day, so he will go to make breakfast so early.
Li Shizhen rolled up his sleeves, and together with the big cat, he began to arrange breakfast on the table, including steamed fir fruits, some vegetables and fruits, and some barbecue.
Li Shizhen can't eat barbecue in the morning, but because Baihu has always liked meat, for a long time, as long as conditions permit, he will also prepare breakfast for Bai. The combination of this breakfast is also the same as the one he prepared in the jungle before. no difference.
The two usually don't talk much when eating. Big Cat is always focused on dining, and Li Shizhen is due to the previous dining etiquette on earth. It's not strict, but if the people who dine together don't talk, he doesn't. Will find topics.
Li Shizhen picked up the tableware, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. The big cat even prepared his chopsticks. Usually, everyone in the valley eats with vegetable leaves or spoons. There are no chopsticks.Since he had just arrived in the valley, he thought of following the Romans and not being unique, so he never thought about making a pair.
Occasionally, Li Shizhen caught the barbecue part that the big cat likes to eat, and would put it in the big cat's bowl. Bai would eat it without stopping, and the big cat would silently adjust the position of the food on the table, Taking care of Li Shizhen's preferences, the two seem to have long been accustomed to this quiet and tacit atmosphere.
After the two finished their meal, they cleaned up and put away the tableware. It was still early.
Li Shizhen said: "I'm going to Yang Apa to listen to the story of knotting the rope. Do you have any plans for today?" Anyway, he has already told Shi Amu that the little cubs will not come to play today.At that time, Li Shizhen was only concerned with confirming Se Ahmu's nod, but Shi Ahmu's ambiguous smile and the look of someone who came here were decisively forgotten by Li Shizhen.
Bai Shi smiled and said, "Are you really going? Can you understand me?"
Li Shixuan: ...
Is it okay to dismantle people? !A person who has such a hard time learning a second foreign language, who despises others' foreign languages and four foreign languages with his own native language level... No, is it really good for Li Shizhen to learn a few foreign languages that he can't count? !
Too lazy to pay attention to the big cat, Li Shizhen lifted the animal hide and walked out.
Bai Hu shook his head with a smile, but still followed. No matter how he went, both Yang Apa and Li Shizhen could know what each other was talking about.Baihu had a hunch that this would be an "interesting" exchange, especially after they could understand what each other wanted to express.
Feeling the people chasing up beside him, Li Shizhen smiled slightly, this guy.
On the way the two went to the wooden house side by side, Bai also explained to Li Shizhen the environment in the valley and the main situation of the collection from time to time, and sometimes told Li Shizhen about the embarrassing things between his childhood playmates. After laughing, I feel even more that this white tiger must have had a black belly since childhood.
After doing so many bad things, sneaking into the warehouse to get dried meat, and even stealing some small arms from Muapa's house, it was all other poor children who were unlucky.
But according to Li Shizhen's understanding of the white tiger and the people in the valley, the small animals are as innocent and simple as the people in the valley. How can this white tiger have so many twists and turns? There will be any superfluous ideas, most of those bad ideas are from him, and others will take the blame.
However, Li Shizhen can hear a kind of nostalgia from those bits and pieces of the past. It's not that Bai doesn't miss those little friends who got into trouble with him, right? Can we see you again.
Li Shizhen sighed slightly, and turned away from this somewhat sad thought: "You know, you have actually met Ah Shi." He finally remembered what he forgot to tell Baihu last night, maybe it was this what.
Bai Hu was slightly taken aback, but seemed to have thought of something.
Li Shixuan continued: "During dinner by the lake yesterday afternoon, the little tiger who ran away when he saw you, remember? He may be a little shy and awkward. I haven't seen you for so long. He is a very good boy. , coax him well."
Bai nodded in response. As for how to coax, heck, he will take the little males to hunting training later anyway, and he will "coax" them well.The soft-hearted female next to her may never understand the world of males, Bai Hu thought about【←_←】subtly.
While talking, the cabin arrived soon.
When Li Shizhen and Bai went in, Yang Apa seemed to be a little surprised, hey, why did they come so early, the young couple reunited after a long time, Yang Apa, you have too much imagination ╮( ̄▽  ̄ ")╭ Li Shizhen also finally knew what the arrangements for the four little cubs were in the morning. Seeing the four furry heads turned neatly and four pairs of watery eyes, Li Shizhen couldn't help but smile, He squatted down and touched the little friends who came to say hello one by one.
Then the four little friends secretly looked at the white tiger with some curiosity and awe. The white tiger who just saw Li Shizhen and the small animals rubbed back and forth was a little serious, and his handsome and cold facial features seemed to be covered with severe frost. Impressive.
Little friends, you tickle me, and I poke you and secretly whisper "Awow" and "Aww", and what they say is nothing more than "Bai Ata is so greasy/so brave/so tall", Then they looked at each other and said in unison: "You guys must have looked at it the wrong way yesterday!"
Yang Apa saw that the absent-minded little animals were very excited because of the arrival of Li Shizhen and Bai, so he couldn't help but smile dotingly: "You, don't show yourself when you come back. Guys are just like you at that time, you can't sit still, you can't listen to a story."
Bai smiled with some embarrassment, first turned his head to tell Li Shizhen the general meaning, and then turned to Yang Apa and told Yang Apa that Li Shizhen wanted to hear the story. Besides, these little animals didn’t want to hear it anyway. story, how about letting him carry it out for some training?So as not to disturb Li Shizhen and Yang Apa's conversation.
As for the communication between Li Shizhen and Yang Apa, Bai has already figured it out. Anyway, he is outside the door. If they really need him, they will call him. This female will always live in the valley, so talk to others more often. Just talk and practice.
Yang Apa's wise and bright eyes seem to have seen through Bai's intentions. It is estimated that he has seen Bai's tricks many times since he was a child, but it is the same as the countless times before. He did not expose it but shook his head helplessly. Looking at the little animals who were so excited because of Bai's words, that's all, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, Yang Apa waved: "Go, go."
Bai talked to Li Shizhen and went straight out the door. Li Shizhen saw behind a tall figure, four furry followers, one big and four small, don't be too funny.
The rest of the room, one old and one young, looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
In the joyful and relaxed atmosphere, Li Shizhen looked curiously at the things on the ground in the room. These should be teaching supplies for telling stories to the little animals just now?
Yang Apa looked at Li Shizhen with kind eyes, and began to explain the functions of these things to Li Shizhen. Although Li Shizhen had some language barriers, he was lucky to meet a good teacher. We have dealt too much with each other, and we are always very patient. He will take the trouble to explain repeatedly what Li Shizhen doesn’t understand or understand, and the explanations are also very vivid, often with gestures and onomatopoeia. It's moving in a good direction, albeit slowly.
Only then did Li Shizhen understand what they were doing just now.
It seems that these different things, such as fruits, animal skins, bones, etc., have different tastes. Yang Apa is teaching the little pot friends how to get more information from these smells, such as whether there is poison or not, and the time the prey has passed. etc.And it seems that he has prepared a lot of short stories, the whole process is very interesting and vivid.
After talking about these little things, the topic of the two turned to those neatly arranged ropes.
It seems that the events recorded on these ropes are really different, and they are generally major events in the tribe, such as various rituals.Li Shizhen is not particularly able to distinguish the difference between those ceremonies, but from the wording of Yang Apa, it seems that these ceremonies have their own unique meanings, but Li Shizhen thinks back, the ceremony is usually like a wedding banquet or funeral. However, he was a little confused. Why are there differences not only in the types of knots, but also in their sizes? Is it to distinguish the types of ceremonies?
Li Shixuan was thinking about it, pointing to a rope with the most dense knots, and wanted to ask what it was for, why only this rope had only two kinds of knots, and when he looked carefully, many of the knots were still knotted. It is marked with a pattern, and this rope should be the longest, and it has even been spliced. Some places are very new, and some places are already old.
Yang Apa sighed: "This is to remember the arrival and departure of the tribe."
Li Shizhen didn't really understand, "arrival"? "leave"?
Seeing Li Shizhen's confused eyes, Yang Apa sighed lowly, then smiled warmly and kindly, "One day, I will also become a knot on this."
He pointed to a small, unpatterned knot on the small noodles: "Look, this is Bai who came to the clan. I still remember his small appearance at that time."
Li Shizhen's heart was shocked, and he finally understood the heavy meaning of this rope. "Arrival" refers to birth, while "Leaving" corresponds to death.
The rope in front of him is a knot that condenses the life and death of all the people in this group!
These dense knots, so many orcs, their lives may be as plain as water, they just lived in the group in an ordinary way, survived the long migration and trek, and finally closed their eyes peacefully in the valley, their bodies and The soul returns to the holy fir again; it may also be magnificent, leading the tribe to open up a new territory, so that more tribes can survive, but he himself has not escaped a disaster, and finally the tribe brought back his bad news and body, let him Can return to Holy Fir.
But in the end, no matter whether they are alive or dead, they belong to the holy fir, and what they leave to future generations is the same. They are just two knots of this rope, one is coming, and the other is leaving.
Perhaps in the eyes of modern people who flaunt individuality and promote personal value, it is a joke to mark each person's unique life with only two knots at the end, which is a contempt for human rights!
However, when Li Shizhen saw this rope with his own eyes, he was shocked and even more awed.The weight of life is condensed on two knots here.
Is life and death a big deal?Of course it is a big event. However, in front of this group that has condensed countless lives and deaths into a rope and passed them on to future generations, Li Shizhen suddenly felt that it might not be so important to just look at the life and death of individuals.You see, no matter how it was in life, it is just two knots in the end.
A person must have these two knots. These two small knots are really inconspicuous when viewed alone.
But if you put the life and death of many people together, there are countless two knots, they are interlaced and continued, so that the rope can be extended for a long time, and it will continue to be extended in the future.
This is the reproduction and relay of life. Without the previous knot, there will be no subsequent knot. Males, females, and their offspring are all on this rope.
This is the inheritance and continuation of civilization. On this rough and simple rope, it has been passed down in one continuous line, and life is endless on this bloody and cruel continent.
Perhaps this is the philosophy of the white tiger group's survival on this continent. Individual life and death are meaningful only within the group.Your two knots can only be passed on and continued if you put them on this rope.
Two knots, small?very small.
Two knots, great?great.
Li Shizhen was shocked beyond words, the weight of life, the meaning of existence, the mission of ethnic group inheritance, too many heavy things hovered in his heart.
Yang Apa touched Li Shizhen's head for the first time, and seeing the child's shocked expression, he knew that this child really understood the meaning of this knot.
Li Shizhen seemed to have just woken up from the impact of the small and the great. He pointed to the pattern on it. Is this marking different tribesmen?
Yang Apa nodded: "When you become an adult, you will have your own mark."
Therefore, on this rope of life, what distinguishes the individuals of life may only be known by Yang Apa, and represent different patterns of different ethnic groups.
Leaving the long knot in awe, Li Shizhen saw the simplest and shortest knot, with only a few different knots on it, and the rope was also the shortest among all.What is this for?
Yang Apa smiled slightly, stroked the rope, and explained, "This is my rope."
Li Shizhen was moved again. Among so many ropes, this venerable old man who recorded so many events in the clan had only this tiny one that recorded his own life.
Li Shizhen looked at the rope that had been rubbed repeatedly. There were only a few knots on it. He had no way of knowing, let alone asking, which knot was behind grief, and which knot was behind happiness. According to the old man with many knots, compared with the wind and rain of the whole tribe, there are only a few things in his life that are most worth remembering.
Li Shizhen doesn't know how many years the old man's long life is, but how many winds and rains, how many tribulations, and what kind of wisdom and open-mindedness a person must go through, to use these few knots in his life to sum up.Maybe this is not a record for future generations, but just a little memory left by an old man in his later years.In the end, what he wants to leave to future generations may be just two knots, no different from others.
The calm and calm expression of the old man who has gone through vicissitudes of life calmed down Li Shizhen's turbulent mood.It seems that after recording so many events, the old man's state of mind has become like the clear lake outside. He is used to seeing clouds and clouds, and he has long been calm.
In an era without written records, how much could such a small knot carry?Li Shizhen was shocked, awed, moved and admired from the continuation of the inheritance of the ethnic group to the small personal joys and sorrows.Even without words, this group used such a method to condense their history and spirit into a rope and pass it on to future generations.
Among all the ropes, there is the brightest one, which is dyed blue. Li Shizhen has been guessing what it records. After seeing the longest and shortest ropes, he still couldn't help asking out.
"This is the rope to record the snow season," Yangappa explained.
On this rope, the types of knots are the same, but there are obvious differences in size.
Seeing Li Shizhen's expression of listening intently, Yang Apa went on to explain: "This records the length of the previous snow season."
Snow season?That is, the long winter when the mountains are covered by heavy snow?Li Shizhen looked at this rope. This is indeed the knot that is most related to the survival of people in the valley at the moment. No wonder it was dyed a striking blue.
It seems that there is no obvious pattern between these large and small knots, but in a fairly long section in the middle, there are countless small knots mixed with several medium knots, and the largest knot is also several decades old by visual inspection.
Yang Apa stared at the biggest knot like Li Shizhen, and sighed very worriedly: "I'm afraid, this snow season will be the longest, and I don't know if there will be enough pine nuts." , the old man pointed to the biggest knot.
Li Shizhen's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he thought of the drought in the southern jungle and the out-of-season storms on the snowfield. All these abnormal weather conditions corresponded to this heavy snow season on the snowfield?
Regarding the current life and death, Li Shizhen decided to ask clearly. This is different from the previous question. If there is any difficult situation, he is already in this valley. Of course, he must try his best to solve it, especially when difficulties come. Prepare well in advance.
Li Shizhen stumbled and told the old man what he thought. He is a person who wants to solve problems immediately. He really can't bear the current efficiency. After talking to the old man, he raised his voice and called out.
The white tiger quickly came in from the outside. His clothes were still neat and tidy. Several small animals were in a state of distress, but their eyes were bright. Li Shi saw that they didn't seem to have any wounds, but their fur was a little messy and the soil and leaves fell. It was probably normal training. I didn't care.
Li Shizhen quickly explained the seriousness of the problem to Baihu. Seeing the big knot on the blue rope, it was obvious that Baihu had just found out about it.With a solemn expression, he quickly asked Yang Apa many questions.
Then he turned his head and explained to Li Shizhen: "Yang Apa has no way of knowing how long the heavy snow season will last. There is still some time before the harvest season of pine fruit, but, he said, the pine fruit on the tree is not as old as in previous years. What’s more, the preparations for the snow season in previous years only started when all the clan members came back.”
Li Shizhen frowned slightly, with a rare serious expression. As an engineering student, what he hated most was uncertainty, so the most important issue at the moment was not to make preparations, but to figure out how serious the problem was.
At that time, the mountains will be covered by heavy snow, and they will definitely not be able to go out of the valley. The main source of food will still be fir fruits. The number of fir fruits will bear the brunt, followed by the consumption of orcs by the orcs. How many orcs will come back at that time? How many fir fruit, finally is the length of the snow season.
After the first two statistics are completed, we can know the time that the pine fruit can support. The duration of the snow season is estimated by doubling the worst case in the past years. If the pine fruit is not enough, the gap must be made up from other places. There are various methods , Li Shizhen believes that people always come up with solutions.Numerous experiences and lessons have taught Li Shizhen that no amount of preparation is enough in the face of issues related to life and death.
Apparently, Baihu also understood that the little leaf in Li Shizhen's heart was flipping over again: "You..."
Li Shizhen also wanted to get the notebook in his hand and write everything down immediately, but obviously this problem is not only his and Baihu's problem, but also the whole valley's problem. Continuous and effective communication is the key to team efficiency.
He clearly conveyed his intentions to Baihu.Having experienced so many things with Li Shizhen, Baihu also has to admit that the female's preparations are very useful in many cases, and she is not just empty talk.
After listening to Li Shizhen's preliminary plan, Bai Hu has learned a little mathematics by himself, and has roughly understood Li Shizhen's thoughts. He has to admit that Li Shizhen's thinking is clear and reliable. At least for now, this plan is in the point of figuring out the problem It is still enforceable.There was only one thought when conveying it to Yang Appa: They had to figure out how long the fir fruit would last.
Yang Apa's eyes lit up, obviously this wise old man also understood the importance of this matter, but he also seemed interested in how they figured out the time.
Bai Hu shook his head, he knew it would be like this.The big cat smiled and folded its arms and watched Li Shixuan being overwhelmed by Yang Apa's questions.The four little animals looked at Li Shizhen with pitiful eyes. Obviously, they had never experienced the treatment of being tortured by Yang Apa, and they hoped that they would never have that honor in their future lives.
When Li Shizhen walked out of the wooden house, his head was dizzy, and he actually promised Yang Apa that he would bring Ye Zi tomorrow to make it clear to him. Was he stupid at the time? He actually agreed to QAQ to ask you what is 1234 What is the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of a respected old man, I really can't stand it QAQ No matter how "harmonious" the communication between Li Shizhen and Yang Apa is, the plan between him and Baihu is still being implemented in an orderly manner, the terms and conditions in the leaf book Spread out densely again, the corners of Bai's mouth twitched, and he wanted to cover his face again.
To count the yield of fir fruit, the first thing to estimate is the number of fir trees and the approximate yield. However, the first problem is that there is no weighing tool here. Even if Li Shizhen made it, it is not enough to pick the fir fruit It is impossible to weigh the season, and it is even more impossible to weigh the picking in previous years.Therefore, the first thing to determine is the unit of measurement.
After roughly asking Amu, who has rich collection experience in the valley, Li Shizhen knew that after they collected fir fruits, they had a unified container. Seeing this wooden barrel of similar shape and size, Li Shizhen decided that the unit of measurement was it up.
It is impossible to verify how many barrels there were in previous years, but we can know how many barrels are left now and how much is consumed every day.Experienced Eminem can also guess how many fir fruits can be collected based on the approximate performance of the fir trees.
Li Shizhen and Baihu classified the fir trees into this category according to their fruiting conditions, and now they only need to simply count the number of fir trees.However, this workload, oh hehe, if only the two of them can count, I am afraid that they will have to work until the year of the monkey, and they have to be careful not to omit or over-count.
Li Shizhen slapped his head and felt stupid again. The distribution of fir trees in this valley is quite even. Why didn't he estimate the output of fir trees by area? The output per unit area can be estimated by sampling .
The scale of the problem has finally been simplified to estimate the area of the valley, which is gratifying.
The daily work of Li Shizhen and Baihu turned into measuring the area of the valley. The Apa Amu in the valley seemed to understand what they were doing after being greeted by Yang Apa, but at the beginning, it was inevitable that there would be Well-meaning onlookers, after all, in everyone's opinion, this is a very miraculous thing, but they will calm down later, and everyone can find time to pull a rope for them to help them or something.
On this day, when Li Shizhen and Baihu were discussing how to measure the terrain, there were a few faint howls outside, and then there seemed to be a long howl from the other side.
The white tiger looked happy, hugged Li Shizhen fiercely, turned around and ran towards Taniguchi.
Li Shixuan: ==
When he followed behind and walked towards Taniguchi, he found that many Amu Apa were also rushing, the number of people was more than last time, and the momentum was also bigger, and many people greeted Li Shizhen.
Li Shizhen vaguely guessed something, but when he saw the familiar clothes on the ground, he was still a little speechless. He picked up the clothes helplessly. This guy is really, how eager, he changed his shape and didn't even take the clothes.
When we came to the entrance of the valley, there was already a group of people gathered around. Everyone stopped what they were doing and came here. They were watching something and they were all laughing.
Li Shizhen stepped forward and saw seven or eight adult creatures huddled together on the snow outside, including tigers and snow wolves, all of them were strong and strong, and they fixed their eyes.
Subconsciously, Li Shizhen seemed to want to escape from something. After listening to the story, he walked to the door. It seemed that the white tiger was the huge heat source in the room. If he left a little, he could calm his heartbeat and mood.
The white tiger quietly looked at the back of the female walking away in front of him, the expression in his eyes seemed to be slightly disappointed, but he seemed to have infinite patience to continue to wait for a certain desired result.He is the king of the jungle as a top predator, what he lacks most is patience, isn't he?
Li Shizhen lifted the animal skin and found that it was getting late outside. He breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to Baihu and said, "It's getting dark, go back to your room, wash and sleep."
Baihu blinked innocently: "This is my house." It seemed that he had figured out something just now, his eyes lost the burning heat that made Li Shizhen nervous, and he became more relaxed and calm, and regained his composure. The appearance of the big cat familiar to Li Shizhen.
Li Shizhen was a little stunned, relaxed and subtly embarrassed, but thinking about the limited space in this cave, there is no extra room, and he needs to live in the cave to recover from his injuries. It is also appropriate to let him live in Baihu's house temporarily. Meaning, after all, he was brought back by Baihu.
Li Shizhen was a little awkward and entangled, but after thinking about it, he usually shared a room with the big cat anyway, so it seemed okay.With a wave of his hand, he urged the big cat to wash up quickly, and he had to go to Yang Apa's to listen to the story of knotting and remembering things in the morning.
After the two of them lay on the bed, Li Shizhen's sleeping posture was always very good, that is, the kind of lying obediently and not moving all night.
Bai suddenly put his hand on Li Shizhen's left rib lightly: "Does it still hurt?"
As he said this, his warm palms gently covered the wound. Apart from the warmth, Li Shizhen felt a little pain in his left rib, which he just fell again today, and felt a little wronged.He himself was a little surprised, because when he was pushed out of the stone house before, he didn't feel wronged or anything.
Is this wound the same as the kindergarten cousin who fell down?He didn't feel much when no one coaxed him, he would get up quickly by himself; if someone cared and coaxed him, he would feel wronged and sad and even cry?
Feeling amused by his inexplicable association, Li Shizhen organized his thoughts, thinking of the things he discovered during the day, especially the matter of Muapa and the bow, Li Shizhen hesitated again, this is not like those things in the valley just now, it can be Ask directly, after all, it should be something that everyone knows, and it's okay for Li Shizhen to ask.
But Muapa's bow and the word "日" on the bow seem to involve some secret matter. Li Shizhen felt that he just came to this valley. If he accidentally saw other people's privacy, or because he It would be too bad if there was any misunderstanding caused by the report.
Bai was a little surprised by Li Shizhen's hesitant attitude. Is there something unspeakable?
He turned around, got closer to Li Shizhen, and said softly, "Did something happen?"
Li Shizhen hesitated for a moment, but still told the whole story. After all, no matter whether it is good or bad, it is up to Baihu to judge. He grew up in the valley, he is more familiar with the situation, and has a deeper feeling for the valley. What needs to be done? , he himself should know.
After hearing the whole thing, Bai frowned slightly: "Is your wound okay?"
Li Shizhen's heart warmed, and he shook his head slightly: "Yang Apa has already given the medicine, and I changed the medicine, and the pain has long since disappeared."
Bai felt relieved, stretched out his hand to tuck Li Shizhen's quilt, nodded and said, "Well, then go to bed early."
Li Shizhen has black lines all over his head, what kind of attitude is this, shouldn't he explain it?
Seeing Li Shizheng staring at him with dissatisfaction, the big cat smiled slyly and said: "Go to sleep, there are many things, it's just more troublesome to know. Anyway, you just need to know that Muapa is not a bad person, and I am too." That's why I knew he had that bow."
Li Shizhen said in confusion: "But the mark on it..."
Baihu stroked Li Shizhen's recently grown hair on the forehead: "I heard that Mu Apa was rescued by Yang Apa many years ago. Since Yang Apa rescued him, there must be a reason. These things, Yang Apa must know, but he has been here for so many years, so let him go, there is no need to ask so clearly about such things."
So, this is to turn a blind eye and close one's eyes, one thing more is worse than one thing less?After all, he is a member of his clan, as long as there are some things that do not cause any harm, let them go. If you ask too clearly, it will hurt your feelings?
Baihu saw Li Shizhen's convinced face, smiled slightly, and sighed slightly in his heart, this female is so soft-hearted and kind, why should she let him know about those dark and terrible things?Just let him stay in the valley so warmly and peacefully.Anyway, those dirty things are not in front of us, and it's better to stay far away.However, Bai himself really didn't know about Muapa's affairs. After Li Shizhen said this, he felt a little more clear about many things in the past.
Li Shizhen grew up in the city, and the closest people are his brother and mother, and he is surrounded by relatives, classmates and friends. He has no experience of living in such a large family like in the valley. Now that Baihu is willing to believe this, he is even more There is nothing more to say.but--
"Yang Appa is very good? You trust his judgment so much."
Bai Hu chuckled, his magnetic voice seemed like a stringed instrument resonating low in his chest, I don’t know if it was this sound or Bai’s hot breath, Li Shizhen felt his ears were a little itchy, making him want to reach out Scratch it.
"Well, the most powerful person in the valley is Yang Appa, he knows everything."
"Know everything?!"
"Well, when the snow falls, when to go out of the valley, when to gather fir fruit, and when to prepare for the ceremony, it's up to Yang Apa to decide."
"so."
"Have you been to his house?"
"Well, I went there at noon, and there were a lot of ropes. Yang Apa told me to go early tomorrow morning, and he told me the stories on those ropes."
"Hehe, when we were young, Yang Apa always wanted to grab us to listen to those stories. Everyone ran as far as they could, but you went over by yourself."
"But one knot is one thing, so many knots, so many stories, isn't it worth listening to?"
"Okay, okay, it's up to you."
"Didn't Yang Apa tell you about the ancestors you just said?!"
"..."
"Look, you have nothing to say."
……
The conversation didn't know what to stop. In this reassuringly warm and relaxing atmosphere, Li Shizhen fell into a deep sleep unconsciously. Before going to sleep, he was still thinking vaguely, there was something important to do. Tell Baihu to come, um, we can talk about it tomorrow...
Seeing that his breathing was getting heavy, Bai bowed his head and kissed his forehead, stretched out his arms to embrace Li Shizhen in his arms, and gently pressed his chin on Li Shizhen's forehead, feeling the warm and soothing breath of the female in his arms, he He sighed softly, and slowly closed his eyes.
When Li Shizhen woke up, there was no one around him.
It seems that I don’t know since when, that big cat who can only act cute and foolishly got up earlier than Li Shizhen, and always arranged everything in order before Li Shizhen woke up. This process happened so naturally that even Li Shizhen I got used to it before I even realized it.
Bai happened to come back from fetching water from the outside and pour it into the water tank. Seeing Li Shizhen who woke up, he smiled slightly: "Are you up?"
Li Shizhen was a little embarrassed, it seemed that in such a quiet atmosphere in the valley, he really slept very deeply recently: "Morning."
Seeing the busy big cat, Li Shizhen suddenly felt that those days alone in the valley were empty and dull, without any specific content, and passed in a blink of an eye.
Is it because I just woke up that I had this illusion?Or is it because I am more used to the time with big cats by my side?It seems that only like today, this day can be regarded as the real beginning, and the previous ones are not counted.
The busy tall figure next to him even gave Li Shizhen the illusion that time would go on like this forever, as if every morning in the future would definitely start like today, a brand new day.
Shaking his head and waving away those feelings of nothingness, Li Shizhen regained his agile mobility. He quickly changed his coat, tidied up the sheets and quilts on the bed, and then took the pot and animal skin handed to him by the big cat, Start a daily shower routine.
It seems to know that Li Shizhen's vision is not as sharp as that of the orc, so the big cat found a brighter torch from somewhere, and replaced the dim one in the house.
The room suddenly became brighter, and the original torch was extinguished by the big cat and put away on the shelf.
Like a tacit understanding, Li Shizhen instantly understood Bai's thoughts, nodded and smiled and said, "Well, put it on when you go to bed at night." The big cat's smile seemed to be more dazzling under the new torch, which made people look a little dizzy.
Then the big cat dragged a table from the outside, and I don't know where he dragged it. When Li Shizhen continued to wash, he put the table next to the bed, opened the basket he had just brought back, and the breakfast in it was still there. piping hot.
Li Shizhen packed up and walked over, smiling slightly, it seems that there are two meals in the valley, and only the big cat knows that he is used to three meals a day, so he will go to make breakfast so early.
Li Shizhen rolled up his sleeves, and together with the big cat, he began to arrange breakfast on the table, including steamed fir fruits, some vegetables and fruits, and some barbecue.
Li Shizhen can't eat barbecue in the morning, but because Baihu has always liked meat, for a long time, as long as conditions permit, he will also prepare breakfast for Bai. The combination of this breakfast is also the same as the one he prepared in the jungle before. no difference.
The two usually don't talk much when eating. Big Cat is always focused on dining, and Li Shizhen is due to the previous dining etiquette on earth. It's not strict, but if the people who dine together don't talk, he doesn't. Will find topics.
Li Shizhen picked up the tableware, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. The big cat even prepared his chopsticks. Usually, everyone in the valley eats with vegetable leaves or spoons. There are no chopsticks.Since he had just arrived in the valley, he thought of following the Romans and not being unique, so he never thought about making a pair.
Occasionally, Li Shizhen caught the barbecue part that the big cat likes to eat, and would put it in the big cat's bowl. Bai would eat it without stopping, and the big cat would silently adjust the position of the food on the table, Taking care of Li Shizhen's preferences, the two seem to have long been accustomed to this quiet and tacit atmosphere.
After the two finished their meal, they cleaned up and put away the tableware. It was still early.
Li Shizhen said: "I'm going to Yang Apa to listen to the story of knotting the rope. Do you have any plans for today?" Anyway, he has already told Shi Amu that the little cubs will not come to play today.At that time, Li Shizhen was only concerned with confirming Se Ahmu's nod, but Shi Ahmu's ambiguous smile and the look of someone who came here were decisively forgotten by Li Shizhen.
Bai Shi smiled and said, "Are you really going? Can you understand me?"
Li Shixuan: ...
Is it okay to dismantle people? !A person who has such a hard time learning a second foreign language, who despises others' foreign languages and four foreign languages with his own native language level... No, is it really good for Li Shizhen to learn a few foreign languages that he can't count? !
Too lazy to pay attention to the big cat, Li Shizhen lifted the animal hide and walked out.
Bai Hu shook his head with a smile, but still followed. No matter how he went, both Yang Apa and Li Shizhen could know what each other was talking about.Baihu had a hunch that this would be an "interesting" exchange, especially after they could understand what each other wanted to express.
Feeling the people chasing up beside him, Li Shizhen smiled slightly, this guy.
On the way the two went to the wooden house side by side, Bai also explained to Li Shizhen the environment in the valley and the main situation of the collection from time to time, and sometimes told Li Shizhen about the embarrassing things between his childhood playmates. After laughing, I feel even more that this white tiger must have had a black belly since childhood.
After doing so many bad things, sneaking into the warehouse to get dried meat, and even stealing some small arms from Muapa's house, it was all other poor children who were unlucky.
But according to Li Shizhen's understanding of the white tiger and the people in the valley, the small animals are as innocent and simple as the people in the valley. How can this white tiger have so many twists and turns? There will be any superfluous ideas, most of those bad ideas are from him, and others will take the blame.
However, Li Shizhen can hear a kind of nostalgia from those bits and pieces of the past. It's not that Bai doesn't miss those little friends who got into trouble with him, right? Can we see you again.
Li Shizhen sighed slightly, and turned away from this somewhat sad thought: "You know, you have actually met Ah Shi." He finally remembered what he forgot to tell Baihu last night, maybe it was this what.
Bai Hu was slightly taken aback, but seemed to have thought of something.
Li Shixuan continued: "During dinner by the lake yesterday afternoon, the little tiger who ran away when he saw you, remember? He may be a little shy and awkward. I haven't seen you for so long. He is a very good boy. , coax him well."
Bai nodded in response. As for how to coax, heck, he will take the little males to hunting training later anyway, and he will "coax" them well.The soft-hearted female next to her may never understand the world of males, Bai Hu thought about【←_←】subtly.
While talking, the cabin arrived soon.
When Li Shizhen and Bai went in, Yang Apa seemed to be a little surprised, hey, why did they come so early, the young couple reunited after a long time, Yang Apa, you have too much imagination ╮( ̄▽  ̄ ")╭ Li Shizhen also finally knew what the arrangements for the four little cubs were in the morning. Seeing the four furry heads turned neatly and four pairs of watery eyes, Li Shizhen couldn't help but smile, He squatted down and touched the little friends who came to say hello one by one.
Then the four little friends secretly looked at the white tiger with some curiosity and awe. The white tiger who just saw Li Shizhen and the small animals rubbed back and forth was a little serious, and his handsome and cold facial features seemed to be covered with severe frost. Impressive.
Little friends, you tickle me, and I poke you and secretly whisper "Awow" and "Aww", and what they say is nothing more than "Bai Ata is so greasy/so brave/so tall", Then they looked at each other and said in unison: "You guys must have looked at it the wrong way yesterday!"
Yang Apa saw that the absent-minded little animals were very excited because of the arrival of Li Shizhen and Bai, so he couldn't help but smile dotingly: "You, don't show yourself when you come back. Guys are just like you at that time, you can't sit still, you can't listen to a story."
Bai smiled with some embarrassment, first turned his head to tell Li Shizhen the general meaning, and then turned to Yang Apa and told Yang Apa that Li Shizhen wanted to hear the story. Besides, these little animals didn’t want to hear it anyway. story, how about letting him carry it out for some training?So as not to disturb Li Shizhen and Yang Apa's conversation.
As for the communication between Li Shizhen and Yang Apa, Bai has already figured it out. Anyway, he is outside the door. If they really need him, they will call him. This female will always live in the valley, so talk to others more often. Just talk and practice.
Yang Apa's wise and bright eyes seem to have seen through Bai's intentions. It is estimated that he has seen Bai's tricks many times since he was a child, but it is the same as the countless times before. He did not expose it but shook his head helplessly. Looking at the little animals who were so excited because of Bai's words, that's all, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer, Yang Apa waved: "Go, go."
Bai talked to Li Shizhen and went straight out the door. Li Shizhen saw behind a tall figure, four furry followers, one big and four small, don't be too funny.
The rest of the room, one old and one young, looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh at the same time.
In the joyful and relaxed atmosphere, Li Shizhen looked curiously at the things on the ground in the room. These should be teaching supplies for telling stories to the little animals just now?
Yang Apa looked at Li Shizhen with kind eyes, and began to explain the functions of these things to Li Shizhen. Although Li Shizhen had some language barriers, he was lucky to meet a good teacher. We have dealt too much with each other, and we are always very patient. He will take the trouble to explain repeatedly what Li Shizhen doesn’t understand or understand, and the explanations are also very vivid, often with gestures and onomatopoeia. It's moving in a good direction, albeit slowly.
Only then did Li Shizhen understand what they were doing just now.
It seems that these different things, such as fruits, animal skins, bones, etc., have different tastes. Yang Apa is teaching the little pot friends how to get more information from these smells, such as whether there is poison or not, and the time the prey has passed. etc.And it seems that he has prepared a lot of short stories, the whole process is very interesting and vivid.
After talking about these little things, the topic of the two turned to those neatly arranged ropes.
It seems that the events recorded on these ropes are really different, and they are generally major events in the tribe, such as various rituals.Li Shizhen is not particularly able to distinguish the difference between those ceremonies, but from the wording of Yang Apa, it seems that these ceremonies have their own unique meanings, but Li Shizhen thinks back, the ceremony is usually like a wedding banquet or funeral. However, he was a little confused. Why are there differences not only in the types of knots, but also in their sizes? Is it to distinguish the types of ceremonies?
Li Shixuan was thinking about it, pointing to a rope with the most dense knots, and wanted to ask what it was for, why only this rope had only two kinds of knots, and when he looked carefully, many of the knots were still knotted. It is marked with a pattern, and this rope should be the longest, and it has even been spliced. Some places are very new, and some places are already old.
Yang Apa sighed: "This is to remember the arrival and departure of the tribe."
Li Shizhen didn't really understand, "arrival"? "leave"?
Seeing Li Shizhen's confused eyes, Yang Apa sighed lowly, then smiled warmly and kindly, "One day, I will also become a knot on this."
He pointed to a small, unpatterned knot on the small noodles: "Look, this is Bai who came to the clan. I still remember his small appearance at that time."
Li Shizhen's heart was shocked, and he finally understood the heavy meaning of this rope. "Arrival" refers to birth, while "Leaving" corresponds to death.
The rope in front of him is a knot that condenses the life and death of all the people in this group!
These dense knots, so many orcs, their lives may be as plain as water, they just lived in the group in an ordinary way, survived the long migration and trek, and finally closed their eyes peacefully in the valley, their bodies and The soul returns to the holy fir again; it may also be magnificent, leading the tribe to open up a new territory, so that more tribes can survive, but he himself has not escaped a disaster, and finally the tribe brought back his bad news and body, let him Can return to Holy Fir.
But in the end, no matter whether they are alive or dead, they belong to the holy fir, and what they leave to future generations is the same. They are just two knots of this rope, one is coming, and the other is leaving.
Perhaps in the eyes of modern people who flaunt individuality and promote personal value, it is a joke to mark each person's unique life with only two knots at the end, which is a contempt for human rights!
However, when Li Shizhen saw this rope with his own eyes, he was shocked and even more awed.The weight of life is condensed on two knots here.
Is life and death a big deal?Of course it is a big event. However, in front of this group that has condensed countless lives and deaths into a rope and passed them on to future generations, Li Shizhen suddenly felt that it might not be so important to just look at the life and death of individuals.You see, no matter how it was in life, it is just two knots in the end.
A person must have these two knots. These two small knots are really inconspicuous when viewed alone.
But if you put the life and death of many people together, there are countless two knots, they are interlaced and continued, so that the rope can be extended for a long time, and it will continue to be extended in the future.
This is the reproduction and relay of life. Without the previous knot, there will be no subsequent knot. Males, females, and their offspring are all on this rope.
This is the inheritance and continuation of civilization. On this rough and simple rope, it has been passed down in one continuous line, and life is endless on this bloody and cruel continent.
Perhaps this is the philosophy of the white tiger group's survival on this continent. Individual life and death are meaningful only within the group.Your two knots can only be passed on and continued if you put them on this rope.
Two knots, small?very small.
Two knots, great?great.
Li Shizhen was shocked beyond words, the weight of life, the meaning of existence, the mission of ethnic group inheritance, too many heavy things hovered in his heart.
Yang Apa touched Li Shizhen's head for the first time, and seeing the child's shocked expression, he knew that this child really understood the meaning of this knot.
Li Shizhen seemed to have just woken up from the impact of the small and the great. He pointed to the pattern on it. Is this marking different tribesmen?
Yang Apa nodded: "When you become an adult, you will have your own mark."
Therefore, on this rope of life, what distinguishes the individuals of life may only be known by Yang Apa, and represent different patterns of different ethnic groups.
Leaving the long knot in awe, Li Shizhen saw the simplest and shortest knot, with only a few different knots on it, and the rope was also the shortest among all.What is this for?
Yang Apa smiled slightly, stroked the rope, and explained, "This is my rope."
Li Shizhen was moved again. Among so many ropes, this venerable old man who recorded so many events in the clan had only this tiny one that recorded his own life.
Li Shizhen looked at the rope that had been rubbed repeatedly. There were only a few knots on it. He had no way of knowing, let alone asking, which knot was behind grief, and which knot was behind happiness. According to the old man with many knots, compared with the wind and rain of the whole tribe, there are only a few things in his life that are most worth remembering.
Li Shizhen doesn't know how many years the old man's long life is, but how many winds and rains, how many tribulations, and what kind of wisdom and open-mindedness a person must go through, to use these few knots in his life to sum up.Maybe this is not a record for future generations, but just a little memory left by an old man in his later years.In the end, what he wants to leave to future generations may be just two knots, no different from others.
The calm and calm expression of the old man who has gone through vicissitudes of life calmed down Li Shizhen's turbulent mood.It seems that after recording so many events, the old man's state of mind has become like the clear lake outside. He is used to seeing clouds and clouds, and he has long been calm.
In an era without written records, how much could such a small knot carry?Li Shizhen was shocked, awed, moved and admired from the continuation of the inheritance of the ethnic group to the small personal joys and sorrows.Even without words, this group used such a method to condense their history and spirit into a rope and pass it on to future generations.
Among all the ropes, there is the brightest one, which is dyed blue. Li Shizhen has been guessing what it records. After seeing the longest and shortest ropes, he still couldn't help asking out.
"This is the rope to record the snow season," Yangappa explained.
On this rope, the types of knots are the same, but there are obvious differences in size.
Seeing Li Shizhen's expression of listening intently, Yang Apa went on to explain: "This records the length of the previous snow season."
Snow season?That is, the long winter when the mountains are covered by heavy snow?Li Shizhen looked at this rope. This is indeed the knot that is most related to the survival of people in the valley at the moment. No wonder it was dyed a striking blue.
It seems that there is no obvious pattern between these large and small knots, but in a fairly long section in the middle, there are countless small knots mixed with several medium knots, and the largest knot is also several decades old by visual inspection.
Yang Apa stared at the biggest knot like Li Shizhen, and sighed very worriedly: "I'm afraid, this snow season will be the longest, and I don't know if there will be enough pine nuts." , the old man pointed to the biggest knot.
Li Shizhen's heart skipped a beat. For some reason, he thought of the drought in the southern jungle and the out-of-season storms on the snowfield. All these abnormal weather conditions corresponded to this heavy snow season on the snowfield?
Regarding the current life and death, Li Shizhen decided to ask clearly. This is different from the previous question. If there is any difficult situation, he is already in this valley. Of course, he must try his best to solve it, especially when difficulties come. Prepare well in advance.
Li Shizhen stumbled and told the old man what he thought. He is a person who wants to solve problems immediately. He really can't bear the current efficiency. After talking to the old man, he raised his voice and called out.
The white tiger quickly came in from the outside. His clothes were still neat and tidy. Several small animals were in a state of distress, but their eyes were bright. Li Shi saw that they didn't seem to have any wounds, but their fur was a little messy and the soil and leaves fell. It was probably normal training. I didn't care.
Li Shizhen quickly explained the seriousness of the problem to Baihu. Seeing the big knot on the blue rope, it was obvious that Baihu had just found out about it.With a solemn expression, he quickly asked Yang Apa many questions.
Then he turned his head and explained to Li Shizhen: "Yang Apa has no way of knowing how long the heavy snow season will last. There is still some time before the harvest season of pine fruit, but, he said, the pine fruit on the tree is not as old as in previous years. What’s more, the preparations for the snow season in previous years only started when all the clan members came back.”
Li Shizhen frowned slightly, with a rare serious expression. As an engineering student, what he hated most was uncertainty, so the most important issue at the moment was not to make preparations, but to figure out how serious the problem was.
At that time, the mountains will be covered by heavy snow, and they will definitely not be able to go out of the valley. The main source of food will still be fir fruits. The number of fir fruits will bear the brunt, followed by the consumption of orcs by the orcs. How many orcs will come back at that time? How many fir fruit, finally is the length of the snow season.
After the first two statistics are completed, we can know the time that the pine fruit can support. The duration of the snow season is estimated by doubling the worst case in the past years. If the pine fruit is not enough, the gap must be made up from other places. There are various methods , Li Shizhen believes that people always come up with solutions.Numerous experiences and lessons have taught Li Shizhen that no amount of preparation is enough in the face of issues related to life and death.
Apparently, Baihu also understood that the little leaf in Li Shizhen's heart was flipping over again: "You..."
Li Shizhen also wanted to get the notebook in his hand and write everything down immediately, but obviously this problem is not only his and Baihu's problem, but also the whole valley's problem. Continuous and effective communication is the key to team efficiency.
He clearly conveyed his intentions to Baihu.Having experienced so many things with Li Shizhen, Baihu also has to admit that the female's preparations are very useful in many cases, and she is not just empty talk.
After listening to Li Shizhen's preliminary plan, Bai Hu has learned a little mathematics by himself, and has roughly understood Li Shizhen's thoughts. He has to admit that Li Shizhen's thinking is clear and reliable. At least for now, this plan is in the point of figuring out the problem It is still enforceable.There was only one thought when conveying it to Yang Appa: They had to figure out how long the fir fruit would last.
Yang Apa's eyes lit up, obviously this wise old man also understood the importance of this matter, but he also seemed interested in how they figured out the time.
Bai Hu shook his head, he knew it would be like this.The big cat smiled and folded its arms and watched Li Shixuan being overwhelmed by Yang Apa's questions.The four little animals looked at Li Shizhen with pitiful eyes. Obviously, they had never experienced the treatment of being tortured by Yang Apa, and they hoped that they would never have that honor in their future lives.
When Li Shizhen walked out of the wooden house, his head was dizzy, and he actually promised Yang Apa that he would bring Ye Zi tomorrow to make it clear to him. Was he stupid at the time? He actually agreed to QAQ to ask you what is 1234 What is the addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of a respected old man, I really can't stand it QAQ No matter how "harmonious" the communication between Li Shizhen and Yang Apa is, the plan between him and Baihu is still being implemented in an orderly manner, the terms and conditions in the leaf book Spread out densely again, the corners of Bai's mouth twitched, and he wanted to cover his face again.
To count the yield of fir fruit, the first thing to estimate is the number of fir trees and the approximate yield. However, the first problem is that there is no weighing tool here. Even if Li Shizhen made it, it is not enough to pick the fir fruit It is impossible to weigh the season, and it is even more impossible to weigh the picking in previous years.Therefore, the first thing to determine is the unit of measurement.
After roughly asking Amu, who has rich collection experience in the valley, Li Shizhen knew that after they collected fir fruits, they had a unified container. Seeing this wooden barrel of similar shape and size, Li Shizhen decided that the unit of measurement was it up.
It is impossible to verify how many barrels there were in previous years, but we can know how many barrels are left now and how much is consumed every day.Experienced Eminem can also guess how many fir fruits can be collected based on the approximate performance of the fir trees.
Li Shizhen and Baihu classified the fir trees into this category according to their fruiting conditions, and now they only need to simply count the number of fir trees.However, this workload, oh hehe, if only the two of them can count, I am afraid that they will have to work until the year of the monkey, and they have to be careful not to omit or over-count.
Li Shizhen slapped his head and felt stupid again. The distribution of fir trees in this valley is quite even. Why didn't he estimate the output of fir trees by area? The output per unit area can be estimated by sampling .
The scale of the problem has finally been simplified to estimate the area of the valley, which is gratifying.
The daily work of Li Shizhen and Baihu turned into measuring the area of the valley. The Apa Amu in the valley seemed to understand what they were doing after being greeted by Yang Apa, but at the beginning, it was inevitable that there would be Well-meaning onlookers, after all, in everyone's opinion, this is a very miraculous thing, but they will calm down later, and everyone can find time to pull a rope for them to help them or something.
On this day, when Li Shizhen and Baihu were discussing how to measure the terrain, there were a few faint howls outside, and then there seemed to be a long howl from the other side.
The white tiger looked happy, hugged Li Shizhen fiercely, turned around and ran towards Taniguchi.
Li Shixuan: ==
When he followed behind and walked towards Taniguchi, he found that many Amu Apa were also rushing, the number of people was more than last time, and the momentum was also bigger, and many people greeted Li Shizhen.
Li Shizhen vaguely guessed something, but when he saw the familiar clothes on the ground, he was still a little speechless. He picked up the clothes helplessly. This guy is really, how eager, he changed his shape and didn't even take the clothes.
When we came to the entrance of the valley, there was already a group of people gathered around. Everyone stopped what they were doing and came here. They were watching something and they were all laughing.
Li Shizhen stepped forward and saw seven or eight adult creatures huddled together on the snow outside, including tigers and snow wolves, all of them were strong and strong, and they fixed their eyes.
