That night, Big Eyes and Sa still didn't rush back until it was dark, but this time Wu Chen didn't say anything.
Big Eyes and Sa saw that Wu Chen didn't ask any more questions, thinking that he was used to it, they both breathed a sigh of relief, and offered the yellow-purple fruit to Wu Chen in a fawning manner.
Wu Chen didn't want it at first, but later he thought that he should show this kind of fruit to the priest, so he took the fruit and pretended to eat it, but actually hid two.
The next day, Big Eyes and Sa went to Yan Mo's class with Wu Chen in the morning. They had already learned addition and subtraction within a hundred digits, and finished learning the phonetic symbols Yan Mo made based on the pronunciation characteristics here.
Yan Mo asked if the straw sandals given to him by Big Eyes had been woven, Big Eyes murmured for a long time, and said not yet.
Yan Mo didn't urge him, let alone scold him, but only asked him if he thought this homework was difficult, and if it was difficult, he could change to another one.
Big Eyes hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and stammered that he would definitely weave the straw sandals.
Yan Mo asked him to weave straw sandals, just to hone the child's character. Although this child is a bit clever, he can't stand his temper, has no perseverance and perseverance, and has a lot of playfulness.
As for Sa, who is more playful, Yan Mo has no intention of tempering his temperament. He found that this child wants to be a fighter more, and he has also considered that he can't just let these three children learn knowledge from him, but must use their bodies Also exercise, this primitive society can't survive with brains alone.
That elementary training method is actually more suitable for children with soft bodies to learn. However, until the side effects are determined, he does not plan to teach these three children for the time being. He only asks them to do some stretching exercises before class every day, similar to gymnastics.
"The weather is fine today. I'll teach you another way to make a fire. Come out with me."
The three children only understood most of the sentences, but they also knew that it was related to fire. They were very interested and followed Yan Mo out of the tent.
Yan Mo ordered the three children to bring some hay, and asked them to knead the hay softer and thinner.
Then he poured out the ice cubes that had been frozen in the wooden bowl yesterday, called the three children in front of him, rubbed the ice cubes with his hands, and ground the ice cubes to look very smooth, round without burrs, thick in the middle, Convex lens with thinner sides.
He put the ice cubes up between two stones, and asked the three children to put the hay on the ground.
He looked at the sun, pointing it down so that it would shine directly through the ice and onto the dry grass.
The sun was just around noon, and the three children didn't understand what Yan Mo was going to do. When they saw the dry grass they put on the ground suddenly ignited, they all uttered screams.
The Awu warriors who stayed at the place of residence and were not responsible for patrolling the area at this time also came over curiously when they heard the call. They wanted to come and take a look when they saw the priest's actions just now, but they were embarrassed, and now they finally found it. Chance.
Yan Mo saw the Awu warriors coming, and explained to them together. This kind of explanation does not need to understand the language, as long as he looks at his movements, he can basically understand what he is doing and what effect it has.
Yan Mo asked Wu Chen to find a piece of ice with a thickness of about ten centimeters, and Wu Chen ran away quickly, and came back with an ice cube the size of a brick in his arms.
"Using a bowl to make ice cubes with a convex lens effect will be faster. If you are in the wild and you don't have suitable tools around you, you can just find such a piece of ice and knock off the rough edges around it, leaving only a nearly round ice cube with a slightly thicker shape. A little thicker, about the same as the one I have in my hand, too thin and easy to be sunburned, too thick and not easy for sunlight to pass through, 5-10 cm is an ideal number."
While talking, Yan Mo drew a circle on the ice with a scalpel, and asked the warrior next to him to remove the ice around the circle with stones. It is not the first time that other people have seen his scalpel, and they are no longer as surprised as they were when they first saw it, but everyone is still very envious of the sharp knife in the hands of the priest. Someone imitated that knife with a stone I have used similar ones, but the sharpness is not as good as that of the priest.
The Awu warrior who was named was very happy, and under the envious eyes of his companions, he tapped the ice with a stone pick to remove the excess corners.
Yan Moran, what is there to envy? Let you try a piece manually later.
After the ice cubes were knocked off, Yan Mo endured the cold again and rubbed the ice cubes with his palms to remove the burrs and make the ice cubes round.
"This step is the most important. You need to make the ice cube thinner from top to bottom. Try it." Yan Mo demonstrated and immediately handed the ice cube to another warrior who was eager to try.
The warrior grinned, showing his crooked teeth. Following Yan Mo's teaching, he rubbed his palm against the ice over and over again. Even if his palm was freezing cold, he was reluctant to let go. He was not willing to let others help him.
Afterwards, Yan Mo put the ground ice cubes upright between the two stones, so that the sunlight, ice cubes, and dry grass formed a diagonal line.
Waited a little longer this time, but still managed to ignite the hay.
"Wow!" The crowd exclaimed in joy. They didn't understand the principle, and only thought it was one of the magical witchcraft taught to them by the priest.
Yan Mo doesn't need them to understand the principle, as long as they can make it accordingly.
"If you learn this, you don't have to worry about not being able to make a fire when you walk outside in winter. If you want to go faster, you can carry a wooden bowl with you, put water in it at night, and the ice cubes that are frozen the next day can be used directly." Yan Mo asked Big Eyes to bring the two wooden bowls placed at the door of his tent, and poured out the ice cubes inside to show everyone.
"Go and experiment by yourself." Yan Mo waved his hand, indicating that the class time is over, and let everyone do what they should do.
No one is scattered, both adults and children are happily experimenting with the method of ignition with ice cubes. Whoever succeeds can hear a "wow", which is amazing to them.
Yan Mo also waited for Yuan Zhan to lead the team out yesterday, and suddenly thought of how they would light a fire in the wild, and then thought of a video he had watched that taught how to light a fire with ice cubes. It's a pity that Yuan Zhan and the others have already left, and he thought it was too late to teach them.
In order not to embarrass himself in front of the students, he tested it himself yesterday, and after confirming that it was feasible, he showed it to teach others today.
Wu Chen followed Yan Mo while everyone was not paying attention, "My lord."
"Xiaochen, what's the matter?" Yan Mo turned around.
Wu Chen looked around, making sure that Big Eyes and Sa couldn't see them, so he took out the two yellow-purple fruits from his bosom, "My lord, look."
Yan Mo was surprised that there are still plants willing to bear fruit in this cold weather? He also knew that there were winter pears, winter dates, tangerines, oranges, and lemons, which only ripened in winter, but he didn't expect to find these fruits in this land.
"What kind of fruit is this?" Yan Mo took the fruit and observed it carefully. He had never seen this kind of small fruit before, and the things in the two worlds were not completely similar. "Can I eat it?"
This sentence is simple, Wu Chen understood, nodded, "Yes."
Yan Mo didn't put it in his mouth immediately, he called out the guide, opened it to the second biological guide, and touched the fruit with his right hand.
Soon, a sentence appeared in his mind: Inquiry objects, plants, belong to the scope of the second guideline. To inquire about this kind of plant, a brief introduction needs +1 scum point, and a detailed introduction needs +3 scum point. You can choose one of the introductions, please decide within five seconds.
The scum value that needs to be added this time is not as much as the colloidal mud that was checked last time, Yan Mo thought to himself. Still, he opted for brief introductions.
—Various sea buckthorn fruit, sea buckthorn fruit, also known as sour thorn fruit, is highly nutritious. Small berry plants, the plants are deciduous shrubs or small trees with well-developed root system, which can prevent wind and sand fixation, retain water and soil, and improve soil.
It turned out to be sea buckthorn fruit!
Yan Mo really didn't expect Wu Chen to bring him such a surprise.
Although the introduction of the guide is simple, how could he not know the efficacy of sea buckthorn fruit? This thing is not as simple as the "high nutrition" mentioned in the guide. In terms of medicinal value, seabuckthorn is full of treasures. The fruit, leaves, and seeds have the functions of promoting blood circulation and dispelling blood stasis, nourishing spleen and stomach, promoting body fluid and quenching thirst, clearing away heat and reducing phlegm. and other effects.
At the same time, seabuckthorn oil has excellent curative effect on treating scalds, burns, frostbite and knife wounds without leaving scars. Seabuckthorn seed oil also has the effect of skin care and nourishing the skin, protecting the liver and nourishing the stomach.
However, seabuckthorn fruits in the original world are generally orange-yellow or orange-red, but the ones here are yellow-purple. Moreover, the seabuckthorn fruits in the original world are very small, only 4-6 mm in diameter, but the ones here are relatively large, about the size of his little finger.
Not sure how it tastes
Yan Mo took one and put it in his mouth, um, it's sour and sweet, but the taste is acceptable. Unlike the one he had eaten before, the sourness was stronger.
It's a long story, but from Yan Mo looking for the fruit to putting the fruit in his mouth, it took less than ten seconds.
Wu Chen was hesitating whether to tell the priest about Big Eyes and Sa's strangeness, and he was afraid that he would worry too much, but in fact the two of them had nothing to do.
As a result, before he opened his mouth, the priest asked him first: "This fruit is very good, where did you find it?"
Wu Chen guessed the meaning of the adults, shook his head honestly and said: "I didn't find out, it was Big Eye and Sa."
"Oh? Can you let them take me to see it?" Yan Mo tried his best to be concise and authentic, and pointed to the two kids who were having fun playing with ice cubes in the distance.
Wu Chen scratched his head and decided to tell the adults the truth.
After listening to the other party's gesticulating description, Yan Mo roughly understood what was going on, "Ask them first to see if they are willing to tell where the fruit was picked. If not, let's go and see .”
The matter is told to the priest, Wu Chen no longer worries so much when he has a backbone, and it becomes more natural to talk to Big Eyes and Sa.
"That fruit is delicious, where did you pick it? Take me there, pick more." Wu Chen squatted beside the two of them and said.
When Sa was about to say something, he was hit by big eyes immediately.
"Can't you tell me?" Wu Chen pretended to be angry, got up and said angrily, "That's fine."
"Hey! Thick eyebrows!" Seeing Wu Chen angry, Sa panicked.
But the big eyes pouted and said: "Why tell him everything? He is not a priest!"
"Then you tell the priest." Wu Chen turned his head.
His big eyes were plugged, his head twisted, and he didn't speak.
Sa looked at this and that in embarrassment, "It's not that I didn't tell you, yes, we promised..."
"Sa!" Big Eyes suddenly screamed.
Sarah shut up.
Big Eyes took Sara aside, and the two little ones whispered for a while, and then they ran back again, Big Eyes reluctantly said to Wu Chen: "Well, I'll tell you tomorrow if I can take you there. "
"Then I'll tell you how to weave straw sandals tomorrow." Wu Chen turned his head and left.
"Hey? You know how to make up? Thick eyebrows, wait a minute!" Hearing this, Big Eyes hurried to catch up.
The three little ones were fighting and fighting, and the big eyes were begging, begging and cheating, trying all kinds of methods, but Wu Chen refused to let go and said that he would teach him how to weave straw sandals, and offered to exchange with each other, and the big eyes took him to pick fruit , he taught him how to weave.
Who would have thought that the big eyes would make trouble, but unexpectedly he was a trustworthy kid. Even Sa couldn't help but want to speak out, but he stopped him several times, and finally only agreed to give Wu Chen the final answer tomorrow.
Afterwards, Wu Chen told Yan Mo everything in detail.
"Then do you think we should wait until tomorrow, or follow them today?" Yan Mo asked with a smile.
Wu Chen hesitated, thought for a while, and he still said according to his own mind: "Wait until tomorrow." He, like the big-eyed others, doesn't understand what credibility means, but they already understand that if they are always in trouble among friends, If you tell lies and tell others their secrets, you will definitely be hated and rejected by your friends.
Yan Mo nodded, and put his palm on his forehead, "Very good. Although it is worrying to hide the truth with big eyes, it is very good that he can keep his promise and not betray his friends because of coercion. It's fine to disregard your partner's position if you want to know the facts. You're all good boys."
Wu Chen laughed, foolishly.
"Since those two children can come back safely during this period of time, nothing will happen tonight." From Wu Chen's description, Yan Mo already thought that the existence of a third party might be involved in this. Just a place to grow sea buckthorn fruit.
"You rest at ease, and wait for Big Eyes to reply you tomorrow."
Wu Chen nodded and left in peace.
Children can feel at ease, but Yan Mo can't. Not to mention that he wants to know the secrets, it is a relatively dangerous behavior for Big Eyes and Sa to ask the third party if they can bring other people there today.
Safe in the future does not mean safe in the future. It would not be surprising if the other party wanted to kill the two children in order to keep their secrets.
Therefore, Yan Mo decided to follow up to see what happened. Of course, he didn't want to take risks alone, and he brought two warriors with him. These two warriors were also specially designated by Yuan Zhan to protect him before he left. That's all, if they go out, these two people must follow.
The two warriors were told not to make a sound no matter what they saw, let alone act rashly, and all actions must follow Yan Mo's instructions.
The two warriors understood that their main duty was also to protect the priest, so naturally the priest would do what he said.
The two brats were chasing and running ahead, not afraid of the cold, throwing snowballs at each other, laughing and screaming from time to time. They didn't expect anyone to follow them at all, and they didn't deliberately hide their whereabouts when they ran.
Although the two warriors were curious as to why the priest followed the two cubs, they didn't ask much after being told.
Yan Mo didn't know much about stalking, but the two warriors were used to hunting and stalking prey, and after being instructed by Meng, who had more hunting knowledge and experience than them, it was not easy to track two children on the snow.
In order not to let the two children find out, they did not follow closely, but even so, they were not afraid of being lost.
The two bear children ran to the side of the huge lake.
There are sparse forests growing in many places by the lake, and the two children ran into one of the forests.
The three of Yan Mo followed, because their intuition had already reached the destination, the three of them walked more lightly.
Many large and small stones can be seen on the shore of the lake passing through the grove, and the lake has frozen.
The big eyes looked around furtively, and took out a long salted fish that had been wiped with salt from a piece of animal skin package.
Stepping on the rocks with big eyes, he stepped carefully from one rock to the other, one by one on a big rock where the ice layer meets the water surface. After standing still, he lifted the salted fish and shook it to the lake. He still shouted: "La Ruo, La Ruo."
Sa, who was so bold, stepped on the ice and walked over. He didn't climb up the stone until the ice layer became thinner, and even stretched out his hand to dangle in the cold lake water.
Yan Mo, who was hiding at the edge of the woods, saw a ripple suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake shortly after the two children shouted "La Ruo", as if some large fish was swimming towards the two children at a very fast speed under the lake. .
What will it be? Yan Mo was startled.
But not only were the two children not afraid when they saw the water pattern, but they happily shouted even louder: "La Ruo!"
"Crash!" The object in the lake swam to the shore where the ice water meets and popped out.
Yan Mo's eyes widened, his current eyesight was enough for him to see the appearance of that head clearly.
That turned out to be... a child's head? But what's that on either side of the kid's head? fin
Soon the child pressed his hands on the ice layer, exposing his entire upper body.
Yan Mo was in a strange mood, as were the two warriors beside him.
They actually saw a naked, curly, chestnut-colored hair in the lake in the deep winter, black eyes and big water, fair complexion, ears like fish fins, but a fat, tender little hairy head
What about the said dangerous enemy
Is this little boy five years old
Although he looks a little weird, such as his ears, hair, and his exposed hands. But on the whole, it looks like a child who is similar to a human being.
The only thing that looks more dangerous is probably the child's hands. Not only are there webs between the fingers, but the fingers are also longer than ordinary human fingers, and the fingertips are sharp. The claws are not like nails, but more like sharp bones.
"Why did you come here?" Yan Mo heard the child's voice, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Although he looks young, he speaks clearly. Wait, what the kid said was the same as what they said! No wonder Big Eyes and Sa can communicate with him.
"Today, the priest performed witchcraft and taught us. It's very fun, so I'm late."
Big Eyes and Salianmon guessed and understood the child's words pretty well. They have also stuttered and communicated in the past few days.
"Witchcraft? What kind of witchcraft?" Xiao Maotou asked with his head tilted.
"I'll tell you later." Big Eyes squatted on the big rock and handed the salted fish in his hand to the little Maotou probably named La Ruo.
As soon as Xiao Maotou saw the fish, he cheered excitedly, and the witchcraft was forgotten, "Yuyu! Salty fish! Wait for me!"
Xiao Maotou put the salted fish on the ice, turned his body and submerged directly into the lake. After a while, Xiao Maotou emerged from the water holding a large handful of sea buckthorn fruits, "I picked a lot on the island today. I thought you wouldn't be here today."
Big Eyes and Sa were also very happy to see the sea-buckthorn fruit. The three children exchanged gifts, and two of them sat on the rocks and the other ate on the ice.
Big Eyes and Sa didn't care if Little Maotou could understand their nonsense nine original words, they rushed to tell Little Maotou the method of making fire from ice that Yan Mo taught them today like a magical story.
Xiao Maotou obviously didn't understand very well, seeing them smashing ice cubes, he thought they wanted them, and slid his paws lightly on the ice surface, and slid several pieces of ice for them in a short while.
Big Eyes and Sa were immediately excited, gesturing to ask him to draw a circular ice cube, and when they got the ice cube, the two boys couldn't squat on the rock anymore, "La Ruo, go ashore, we'll show you something fun!"
Xiao Maotou saw the two children running to the shore, and turned his head to greet him. It was probably not the first time for this kid to go ashore, so he climbed onto the ice without hesitation, holding the salted fish in his mouth.
The three adults hiding in the woods also saw the whole picture of Xiao Maotou.
Yan Mo rubbed his frozen face, well, with the little monsters like birds with human faces and dwarves, it seems normal for mermaids to appear again. In some ancient records of his original world, it is said that a long time ago, various strange races lived on the mainland. At that time, ordinary humans, giants, dwarves, mermaids, and various creatures with human heads and X bodies We all live in the same time and space, on the same planet.
The lower body of Xiao Maotou is a fish tail with a fat middle end and a long bottom end. The fish tail is very beautiful, shining silvery in the sunlight.
The two warriors gasped, looking a little frightened. Yan Mo was afraid that the two of them would rush out, so he quickly turned his head and made a gesture of pressing down on them.
The two warriors nodded. With the presence of the priest, they were not afraid, only surprised.
Yan Mo thought that Xiao Maotou could only slide on the ice, but he could not think that he could walk upright with a fish tail, and it would be no problem when he landed.
Big Eyes and Sa didn't go too deep into the woods, they were at the edge, calling for Little Maotou to watch how they lit a fire with ice cubes.
Yan Mo stared at the little murloc, trying to contact him without scaring him. There are children, and there must be adults. How many murlocs live in this huge lake that looks like an inland sea
If they can come ashore, are they the threatening beasts Yuan Zhan observed
However, the fact that their languages are interlinked first solves a big problem, so that they have the possibility of communication. No matter how powerful the murlocs are, it's not impossible for them to coexist peacefully. It seems that they lack salt
Yan Mo stroked his chin and smiled slyly.
When the little murloc saw the leaves lit, he was frightened and moved back a long way. He didn't seem to have seen fire before, but he was instinctively afraid.
Big Eyes and Sa didn't know what happened to the little murloc, so they called him quickly.
Frightened, the little murloc waved his paws at the two little ghosts and bared his teeth.
The two warriors immediately became tense, and one of them couldn't help but rushed forward.
"Shua la." The snow on the bushes was knocked off by him.
The little murloc who was threatening the two bear children suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where they were hiding!
