Traversing the Age of Creation in the Orc World

I understand, just don't spray, ouch

69. Brush...

On the two mountains at the entrance and exit of the tribe, there is a wooden plaque hanging high and horizontally, with the four characters of Yanhuang tribe engraved on it.Xia He looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction. Although the handwriting was crooked, but with the ink grass stained on it, it appeared to be black and thick, and it could be seen clearly from a distance.

"He, what do you think is written on it?" Xia He asked fiercely.I am very curious about this "character", and the pile of black frames means it is a character. Xia He said that as long as someone sees the characters above, they will know that the tribe belongs to the Yanhuang tribe. "Also, the river, people in our tribe don't know what it means, even if other tribesmen see it, they won't understand."

"It just says Yanhuang Tribe, it's okay, I'm going to teach you how to read next." Xia He said firmly.Not having a character that can be communicated is like everyone being illiterate. As long as there are characters that everyone knows, they can fully implement all communication and words that they want to express but are too shy to speak. "It will take a few days. I will sort out how to start teaching you."

His education level is not high, but it is still possible to teach them the strokes of radicals and daily words and sentences.It has been almost a year since I have been in contact with them, and I learned that the memory of these orcs is extremely high, at least twice as high as that of ordinary humans.As long as they are willing to learn, he believes that they can learn the strokes and radicals he taught in this winter, which will pass in a month, and then it will be much easier to form characters in the future.

Back at home, standing at the door, you can see the male orcs of the leopard and tiger clan playing dog stick games on the snow. The rising atmosphere, and the orcs cheering and shouting next to them, almost make the whole winter The cold pressure subsided.

During this half month, the leopard clan orcs can be said to have fully integrated into the life of the tiger clan.There are only more than 30 houses used by their tribe. Xia He suggested that they move to the first courtyard house, so that the first courtyard house can be fully occupied.The food that could have been relaxed and eaten has become more compact because there are more than 60 people. Fortunately, there are more than 28 males in the leopard orcs, and [-] of them can go out to hunt.

It may be that Xia He was not originally a tiger orc, and the leopards have been able to accept him as their patriarch since the merger, but under normal circumstances, the leopards still go to Ka to discuss matters.Xia He doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, it's already a big improvement to accept himself as their patriarch, and besides, if it's not a serious matter, he can find a coffee to discuss it, and let them solve it by themselves. He is also happy to relax, isn't he?Lian Meng agreed with them.

What I have to worry about now is how to make a brush, and how to get book paper to practice writing on.Xiahe can't make ballpoint pens, but brushes are relatively easy and simple.Ming Chi and the two little orcs found the small bamboo tubes they wanted, as well as chicken feathers or rabbit fur, and finally even whatever had fur.

The brush handle is made of small bamboo tubes, and the brush head is straightened with various kinds of hairs. The top is made of soft silk, and the bottom is cut into a pointed shape with scissors.The difficulty lies in how to tightly connect the bundle of hairs to the bamboo tube. If you just put the solid brush tip into the bamboo tube, it will be very uncomfortable to use, because it is loose, and the brush tip will be all loose at any time. Stuffing it into a bamboo tube is not reliable.I also tried to tie up the iron wire through the opening of the bamboo tube at the end of the brush head, but all failed in the end, either the bamboo tube was cracked, or the bundle of hairs was swallowed into the bamboo tube.

After repeated several times of production, finally got it.Just use the endmost part of the bamboo tube with nodules, carefully open a small opening in the nodules, and then carefully stuff the bundle of solid hairs into it. The other end is inlaid together.Xia He held this brush in his hand, which was almost the same as the one he knew before, and took the prepared ink grass juice, which was placed in a thick stone. Originally, Xia He saw that this stone was very suitable for holding ink. So I picked out a concave shape with a knife, and it would be perfect to put the ink grass juice in it.

After not writing with a brush for a long time, Xia He felt uncomfortable even grasping the brush.After adjusting the gesture of grasping the brush, dipped the brush in the ink grass juice, first drew a word on a wooden board, and wrote his name crookedly.Only when the entire piece of wood was written, Xia He's handwriting improved, and it was no longer crooked. Although it can't be called artistic handwriting, it is at least correct, with strokes and strokes.

"Ba, and He, have you seen it? From now on, you will be like me now. You must learn to hold a pen, learn to write, and learn to recognize these characters. Can you do it?"

"..." "..." Neither of the two little orcs answered.

Xia He was almost speechless, "Talk to you," he first looked at He and then went to Ba, "Ba, don't you have the confidence to learn it?"

Ba lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "No, Brother He, it's just that I don't think learning this will help me much, let alone hunting skills. Therefore, I would rather spend this time thinking about how to quickly hunt animals like A wild boar."

Putting down the brush, Xia He also talked with them seriously. "It's true that hunting skills must not be left behind, but you can't be thinking about this all day long, right? If I remember well, you are now mowing the grass every day, and then go to Meng's place to let him Come to train you, and after that, you will just play there, right?"

After Ba and He Du nodded, Xia He continued, "Now start to change the time. In the morning, you two don't rush to mow the grass. Use the morning time to study. At noon, you go out to mow after eating, and come back After that, I will go to Meng to train you. In the afternoon when they are going to go hunting, you will come back and continue to review. After you have reviewed and remembered what you have learned in the morning, it is time for dinner. You see, this A day’s schedule is full, so it’s a fulfilling day, isn’t it? Studying, training, and mowing the grass are not missed. Moreover, not only you two, but all the little orcs in the tribe have to be like this.”

"Ah~ Then there will be no time for playing, Brother He, I don't want to learn well, you see, the hairs of this brush are so soft that it's not easy to write." He pointed at another newly made brush. said the tuft of hair.

"I said, all little orcs have to do this, there is no discussion. Now you two go to the courtyard first, and tell them the method of making brushes I just made, so that each of them can learn how to make brushes. Go, Hey What do you mean by pouting your lips?" Xia He put his hands between his two small red lips and said, the little guy has grown some flesh now, and his skin is much fairer than before.If Ba is the little Zhengtai, then He is a tiger kid through and through.

After the two little orcs went out, Xia He thought about what to use instead of paper.Now that I have a pen and ink, I only owe Dongfeng.If the two notebooks I brought were used to practice calligraphy for them, I guess I didn't learn how to write a few words after finishing one book.

At this time Chi also came in, holding a long and flat wooden board in his hand. "He, check to see if this is the black... blackboard you want."

After looking back and forth, I found that Chi Ting was careful to smooth out all the thorns on the wooden block. "Well, it's very suitable, thanks for your hard work, Chi." She hugged Chi while speaking, and kissed him on the face.

Kissing Chi just once was not enough, so he took the initiative and kissed Xia He's sweet lips.

"Okay... okay," Xia He pushed Chi away, and said while panting quickly, "I couldn't breathe without seeing it."

"Hehe..." Chi didn't say anything, just smiled and hugged Xia He.

After a while, Xia He talked to Chi about his troubled sleepiness. "Chi, you may have to go on and ask other parents with little orcs to make a wooden board that is half the size of our current one."

After Chi said there was no problem, he picked up Xia He and sat down. Standing for a long time is not good for pregnant women. "He has other things to do, it doesn't matter, no matter how hard it is, I can do it for you."

It is impossible to say that Xia He is not moved, this guy always says such emotional words inadvertently.

"You can also see the books on the table in the room. They are the sheets of paper. What I want now is that kind of paper, but there is no such thing in the tribe. Paper is very useful, it can record what you want to remember Things can also be drawn, can... wipe butts, as long as they are stored well, they can be preserved forever. For example, if something interesting happens to us now, write it down, and it will be hundreds or thousands of years later You can know everything. Of course, you have to know the characters in advance.” Said slowly by the Huaixia River leaning on Chi.

"How is paper made? We can do it ourselves."

"...I don't know, I'm just troubled because I don't know. You said, if I knew that one day I would come to this tribe, I would definitely have learned all the knowledge of 5000 years!... But God is too bad Take responsibility, and throw me here without making a sound."

"It's okay, it's okay, we can slowly study it out by ourselves, didn't he say that he didn't do many things before, and later they were messed up for us. Don't worry, ah." Chi comforted his ambition for a while A lover who is upsurge and then downcast.

Xia He calmed down and continued, "Well. What is paper made of? Common sense is that it is made of wood, and it also has fiber components. It seems to have glue. Glue is that kind of sticky thing. Let’s make them into oars, I don’t know the rest. But I heard from my grandma that hemp can also be used, hemp
