"I was thinking before that I wouldn't be surprised if you could take off the sun from the sky. I didn't expect that you could really do it."
The rock looked at the light as bright as day, and was deeply moved.
Everyone thought that they had been numb for a long time, but they found that they were not. This guest from afar always brought them many magical things.
Yang Yi smiled: "This is all human wisdom, created by humans, and we can do it too."
None of the people present felt that they had this ability, and they already felt very lucky to see the miracle.
Jiao was also very interested in the pen and paper in Yang Yi's hand: "What are these?"
"Paper and pen can be used for writing." Yang Yi wrote a few words on the notebook with the pen.
Seeing those words, Jiao had guesses in his heart, and became even more excited: "Is this your writing? You can also write?!"
Words were created by gods, and only priests are qualified to learn them. And only big tribes can have it, small tribes are not eligible at all.
Jiao used to be able to learn medical skills from the old priest, but words were beyond her touch.
Yang Yi could see from the shocked eyes of these people that words are very sacred here.
"Yes, I will teach you, but it should be different from your text."
Teaching these people literacy is something that must be done in the future. Before he came here, he bought a lot of books covering various aspects.
He is just an ordinary person, it is impossible to know everything.
He's not that smart, and he doesn't have that much energy.
Only by letting these people learn can they better mobilize the wisdom of everyone and truly create his ideal city.
"T-really, but, is it okay?" Jiao, who had always been calm, trembled uncontrollably when he spoke.
"Of course, I hope everyone can learn it." Yang Yi said with affirmation, "But let's solve the problem of survival first."
Jiao still couldn't get away from this shocking emotion, and gently stroked the words written by Yang Yi with his rough hands, his eyes burning.
Fortunately, the other three members of this meeting: Jing, Rock, and Rong, probably because they are warriors who only focus on hunting, and are relatively calm about the topic of writing, Yang Yi can continue the theme of tonight's meeting with them.
With Yang Yi's limited vocabulary, he can only speak half-native and half-Chinese.
He has always been bold in learning foreign languages. He is never afraid of being laughed at by others for his accent or grammatical mistakes.
Especially when playing games on the international server, this characteristic is brought into full play.
This allowed him to learn the language very quickly, and he also figured out a set of his own methods.
Now he has a translator in his mind, and he has absorbed a lot of vocabulary today, allowing him to master the language here more quickly.
With the addition of gestures, expressions, etc., as well as continuous guessing by the other party, simple communication is no problem, but the efficiency of communication will be relatively low.
Yang Yi: "What are your plans? Are you going to live here in the future?"
"What do you think?" Jing threw the question back.
Yang Yi brought them too much shock, everyone believed that he must have extraordinary insight.
Yang Yi shook his head: "I don't know much about this place, the place I used to live is completely different from here."
Don't say this is a different world, he grew up in a city, and he has never been to such a completely undeveloped place.
Everything here is very strange to him, and the knowledge seen on TV and books can only be used as some reference experience.
The location of the place of residence is too important to affect the future for many years.
Migration is not easy, and moving it once will hurt your vitality, so it must be planned from the beginning, and Yang Yi dare not make mistakes.
The people present didn't look down on Yang Yi because of this, they just thought he was a cautious and planned person.
Such a character is much better than self-righteous recklessness.
Jing: "This is not a good habitat. It's too close to the Black Forest, making it hard to feel at ease."
The rocks are hunting these days, with a deeper understanding:
"We are too few in number, and our weapons are too poor, so we dare not go hunting too far. We don't know many plants here, which makes our food very scarce."
Rong: "This place is too peaceful, and the temperature difference between day and night is too big. Without the shelter of caves, we can't survive the cold season at all. If we had a choice, we would definitely not stay here."
Speaking of this, everyone couldn't help but sighed.
Jiao finally broke away from the frenzy for words, feeling the frustration of the atmosphere.
"It's not so bad, is it? At least there's plenty of water here. Being near the dreaded Black Forest, there's no one to rob it, and we'll be safer."
Everyone laughed bitterly when they heard Jiao's words.
There is also a fearsome existence near the Black Forest, which is confirmed by the fact that it is extremely difficult to see prey in such a large area.
Too close to the Black Forest is not a good choice, there are too many uncertainties.
"No place is perfect." Jiao reassured again, "In the past, the Blackstone Tribe also encountered such and other problems."
But they have a large number of people and strong combat effectiveness, so many problems are not a problem for them.
But no one said this, blindly depressed is useless.
They've come here, they've got to get used to it, they have nowhere else to go.
Yang Yi listened carefully to what they said, and drew a few strokes on the notebook to draw the general geographical situation here.
"To the west is the Black Forest, and our place is to the east, which is here."
Although it is only a few strokes, everyone can understand it.
The rock pointed to a place on the map: "The forest in the north is the territory of the Green Python tribe. We came here from the south, and there is no suitable place there."
"How about going east? How about this wasteland?" Yang Yi asked.
Rock shook his head: "It's not safe in the wilderness, and many animals there are in groups. There is no forest as a cover, and it is easy to be trampled to death by groups of animals.
We are too small in number and our combat effectiveness is too poor. We are not only guarded against ferocious carnivores, but also driven off by groups of herbivores.
On the other side of the wilderness, there is no way for us people to cross it, and we don't know anything about it. "
Yang Yi nodded: "Then what if we go a little further east and keep a certain distance from the Black Forest without going deep into the wasteland?"
"Then we are too far away from the water source, and there are other water sources deep in the wilderness." Rock still felt that it was not feasible.
Rong doesn't think so: "We now have aluminum buckets, and it's much more convenient to fetch water. We send special people to fetch water every day. We have a small number of people, so saving a little is enough."
Ordinary people don't have an advantage in the face of ferocious beasts, but they can still do things like fetching water.
After speaking, she thought about the question she had asked before: "But our residence will be a big problem. The current weather can be managed, but it will definitely not survive the cold season. We can't learn how rabbits dig burrows, right?"
"We can build a residence, but I have to think about how to build it. The air here is humid, and the rainfall should be good. It's not too far from the Black Forest, and the groundwater resources should be abundant. We can try to dig a well."
"Dig a well?"
"Is there water in the ground?"
Everyone is unfamiliar with these terms and expressions.
"The possibility of success is very high, but it will take some time. You can try it first, and then move if you can dig it out."
Yang Yi felt that water should come out of the well, but he didn't know how deep to dig.
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"If we can solve the water source, then we can choose a safer place, not necessarily here!"
The most important thing for survival is the water source. All tribes are built on water and cannot be too far away.
If there was such a thing as a 'well', many problems would be solved, and they would have more places to choose from.
"We have engineering shovels now, and digging is very simple. Tomorrow we will dig a well!" Jiao was very excited.
Everyone has no objection. Finding a safe place as soon as possible is one of the most urgent things at present.
Yang Yi Shunqi started the second topic of the meeting:
"We need to count the number of people here now. We have a lot to do in the future, so that we can arrange the manpower reasonably. I hope everyone can register with me."
The establishment of household registration and files is very important, which allows him to quickly understand this group of people, and then carry out a more reasonable division of labor and cooperation, and better manage or drive these people.
Jiao and his party had no objection to this. Although it was night, it was still early and there were not many of them, so there was no need to delay this work until the next day.
The registration content includes name, age, awakening of talent, specialties, hobbies, and family relationship. It is convenient to grasp everyone's situation, and if there is any change, it can be changed at any time.
People here basically don't have a marriage system, although some men and women choose to live together, such as Rong and Jing.
However, more and more people are more inclined to the walking marriage form of the Mosuo people, which is about the stage when the matriarchal clan is transitioning to the patriarchal clan.
Yang Yi was the first to register with a few people around him. Everyone was very excited when they saw their names, and they had the cheek to ask Yang Yi to tear off a small piece of paper with his name written on it.
Yang Yi took out a sticky note, wrote their names on it, and wrote each person's number, and other people can get it as well.
Keep in mind your own number, and it will be convenient to check files in the future.
Yang Yi firmly believes that there will be more and more of them in the future.
Except for the wounded who were still unable to move, everyone came over to register, and Jiao Dai explained for those wounded.
Jiao knew everyone very well, and she would add some things that those people didn't think of, so that Yang Yi could understand these people better.
Knowing more and more about this group of people, Yang Yi gradually integrated into this group, and the feeling of being outside gradually weakened.
When the census was over, there were 118 people here.
Among them, there are 7 children aged 1-5. If they can persist here, they are likely to have the talent of fighters.
To Yang Yi's surprise, Mao was already six years old, and he was thinner than his peers.
Warrior talent usually awakens around the age of 8, the higher the talent, the earlier the awakening time. Even if you are not awakened, you can still guess from your physical fitness, and the accuracy rate is generally relatively high.
There are about 38 children who can start to help with simple labor, and 28 people who are elderly, disabled, and difficult to perform high-intensity labor.
Among them, there are many disabled people, and they are still first-class fighters. Most of them lack arms and legs, which greatly affects their combat effectiveness. And because of his sturdy physique, he was able to drag his stump up here.
There are 37 young and healthy non-soldiers and 8 fighters.
The overall ratio of male to female is basically half and half, but there is only one female fighter.
This is because female warriors are not only powerful in combat, but can also give birth to powerful children, and the Blackstone tribe is unwilling to let her go.
Rong was strong enough and strong-willed to be able to leave.
Although some fighters were lost along the way, the number was not large, because the base itself was very small.
Most able-bodied fighters are unwilling to leave the Blackstone tribe, which is tantamount to being abandoned. And when you leave, you can't take away weapons, furs and other items.
Warriors without powerful weapons will also have a lot of weakened combat effectiveness.
Many people think that this group of people will eventually perish.
The disability rate of this team is a bit high, but Yang Yi doesn't think they are a burden. They can still do a lot of things, it's just not easy to go hunting in the wild.
118 people, a distance of one million people...
Forget it, don't think about this terrible data, and work hard here with peace of mind, and live a safer and more comfortable life, which is the most important task at present.
"I think we should name the tribe." Yang Yi suggested.
When a team has a name and a common logo, it will have centripetal force.
Everyone in Jiao was stunned, the name of the tribe
They have always felt that they are abandoned people, even though Anzha is here, this kind of thinking has not disappeared.
Therefore, they did not feel that their group of people was a tribe, so they never thought about naming their tribe.
"We, we are a new tribe." Jiao cried excitedly.
The eyes of the others also flickered slightly. It doesn't feel good to be abandoned by the tribe, as if they can't see the future.
But now, they are no longer wandering souls, they are a tribe!
They have their own clansmen, partners who can rely on each other's names, and the belonging of their souls.
"This matter must be done by you." Jiao looked serious, and the others also agreed.
It was he who gave them hope and gave them a chance to live.
Yang Yi paused, pondered for a moment and then said, "How about Xinghuo?"
"spark?"
"Where I came from, there was a very powerful person who said: A single spark can start a prairie fire." Yang Yi looked at the vast sky, which was full of stars.
"We are the spark. Everyone looks weak, but we can ignite the entire wasteland."
