Traveling through the Southern Tribe of the Otherworldly Wind

Feng Shao and Ji Yu stumbled and made a finished product. Although the style is not very good-looking, it is okay to use.

For Feng Shao, inspiration sometimes comes in a steady stream, and a brush reminds him of a brush. Of course, the brush is not very good for him or the rest of the tribe. Applicable, but he really cares about the development of the text.

He didn't know other places that were farther away on this continent, but the Fengnan tribe had no writing, and even the big tribes they visited when they traded had no signs of using writing.For the transmission and inheritance of news, people only rely on people's mouths, which is really inconvenient sometimes.

"Ayu, what do you think the tribe has developed a kind of writing?"

"Text?" Ji Yu was puzzled.

Feng Shao carefully explained the words to Ji Yu, "Well, words are just a kind of symbol, and then we will mark this symbol with special meaning for him, write it down, and then when we see this symbol again, we will know what it means. meaning.” Picking up a branch, he gave an example, “Look, it’s just like drawing a picture on weekdays, if I draw a grass, you will know what it is. And the text is to simplify it into a symbol .”

"I seem to understand what A Shao said." Thanks to Feng Shao's concise and easy-to-understand expression, Ji Yu thought for a moment and vaguely understood, "But, if it is just to identify things like what A Shao said , I don’t usually use it a lot, but it’s enough to draw, and it’s easier to recognize, there’s no need to make words out!”

"No," Feng Shao felt that there was a problem with the direction of his explanation, and he also had a little doubt about Ah Yu's understanding ability, "That was just an example, what I mean is what we usually say and do, If we have words, we can write all these down, just like the description of the deeds of the great heroes of the tribe in the song sung by the priest. Also, when the tribe goes out for exchange, or the harvest of the tribe, we count the number of things etc. can be written down in words. This way we can avoid forgetting..."

Feng Shao cited a series of benefits after having words, and Ji Yu followed his thinking to substitute them. Although it was impossible for him to fully understand and accept them all at once, he also vaguely felt that Feng Shao's ideas were of great significance to the development of the tribe. Good, "A Shao, I feel that your idea seems to be right, but with so many people in the tribe, will they accept it?"

Feng Shao already has a plan in mind, "Don't worry about it for now, since Ah Yu thinks it's good, then I have the confidence to talk to the patriarch about it. If the patriarch agrees, the tribe will accept it sooner or later."

"Then Ah Shao go talk to the patriarch now?"

"Don't worry, it's getting late today, I'll go back tomorrow after hunting."

"Oh."

……

The next day, Feng Shao came to the patriarch's house after hunting. At this time, Feng Zhen had just returned.Feng Shao told Feng Zhen again what he said to Ji Yu yesterday, but because he had an experience beforehand, this time he said it more clearly and specifically than yesterday.

Feng Zhen is worthy of being the head of the clan. Although he is not very old among the orcs, he has a lot of knowledge, not to mention his broad mind. Coupled with the ambition of young people, Feng Shao's proposal It only took him a little thought to understand that this had a huge impact on the development of the tribe.

Feng Zhen agreed with Feng Shao's thoughts, and immediately couldn't help but ask Feng Shao to be more specific. One of them spoke, the other listened, and Feng Zhen's excited applause was heard from time to time.

"...So, I think that the specific form of the text can be based on the real object, and then simplified, so that it is easier for everyone to accept, and, I think maybe we can try to teach the surrounding tribes after this kind of text is formed. , the more widely it is used, the more obvious the benefits to the tribe will be." Feng Shao stopped and waited for Feng Zhen to think, and he didn't know Feng Zhen's attitude towards his last suggestion.

Feng Zhen didn't respond to him immediately, "There's no rush to let other tribes know about it. I'll discuss it with the tribe after the words you speak develop. Now, if you have any other ideas, continue talking."

"Counting," Feng Shao wrote ten numbers from 0 to 9 on the ground, "this is a number, and tribes generally use knotting to count, which is not only troublesome, but also small in number, and there are many restrictions. The ten numbers I wrote are also words It is a kind of symbol, and more numbers can be obtained by any combination of these ten numbers. Look, this is one, it is one..." Feng Shao taught Feng Zhen how to read and use the ten numbers and then pressed I taught several combinations in order, and so on. Feng Zhen is not stupid, although he is not very proficient, after a period of study, he knows how to draw inferences from one instance.

"In this way, it is indeed more convenient to use this counting method as you said. I will discuss with the elders as soon as possible to promote this counting method as soon as possible. At that time, you will need to teach these to the tribe. In addition, regarding what you said before The elders should also agree with the text matter, since you came up with the idea, then you will be needed to assist and participate in the text creation process when the time comes. No problem, right?"

Of course Feng Shao is fine.

Feng Zhen smiled in satisfaction, and said, seemingly unintentionally or intentionally, "Xiao Feng Shao, you are very extraordinary!" After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Feng Shao's guessing, and laughed out loud.After he laughed, he remembered to let Feng Shao go back, he had to go to work.

Feng Shao left angrily, what a fox, although he knew early on that his actions might arouse Feng Zhen's suspicion, but he couldn't keep things in his heart.When he decided to come to Feng Shao, he was also well prepared. Even in order not to make himself appear too against the sky, he didn't directly use the square characters he knew. Of course, this was also because of the consideration of primitive people's ability to accept .But who knew that Feng Zhen had this kind of reaction, if he doubted him, there was indeed, but the rest of the reaction was missing, if he knew what he was trying to hide.However, it's also weird, Feng Zhen just kept him in stock because he was useful, and settled accounts with him when he was useless...

The worry in Feng Shao's heart.If he knew that his worries were unnecessary, he didn't know what kind of expression he would have.However, I am afraid that this question will not be answered in a short time.

So, Feng Shao is easy to think too much.
