Chapter 66: The Secrets of Two Bratty Children
That night, Big Eyes and Sa still rushed back when the sky was dark, but Wu Chen didn't say anything.
When Big Eyes and Sa saw that Wu Chen didn't ask much, they were thinking that he was used to it, and he was relieved, and he kindly took out the yellow-purple fruit and gave it to Wu Chen.
Wu Chen didn't want it. Later, he thought that he should take this fruit to Priest Da Ren. He took the fruit down and pretended to finish it. In fact, he hid two.
The next day, Big Eyes and Sa Chen went to Yan Mo to attend classes with Wu Chen. They had learned the addition and subtraction within a hundred digits and learned the phonetic symbols that Yan Mo made based on the pronunciation features here.
Yan Mo asked Big Eyes if the sandals that he had given him were woven. Big Eyes was blind for a long time, saying that he hadn't.
Yan Mo did not urge him, and he did not even reprimand him. He only asked him if he thought this lesson was difficult. If it was difficult, he could change another one.
Big Eyes hesitated a bit, or shook his head, stuttering that the shoes would be woven out.
Yan Mo let him weave the sandals, but he also wanted to hone the child's heart. Although the child is a little clever, he can't stand the any temper, he has no perseverance and is more playful.
As for the more playful Sa, Yan Mo did not hone his temper. He found that the child wanted to be a warrior. He also thought that he could not only let these three children learn from him, they must take what they want to do exercise, this primitive society has a mind that can't be understood.
The primary training method is actually more suitable for children with soft body, but before he can determine the side effects, he does not intend to teach these three children for the time being. He only wanted to do some stretching exercises before class every day, similar to gymnastics.
"The weather is good today, I teach you another way to make fire, come out with me."
The three children only understood most of the sentences, but they also knew that the words were related to the fire. They were very interested and walked out of the tent behind Yan Mo.
Yan Mo told the three children to bring some hay and let them take the hay that was softer and thinner.
Then he poured out ice cubes that had been frozen in the wooden bowl yesterday, he took the three children to the front, rubbed the ice and polished the ice till it looked very smooth, round without burrs, thick in the middle, Thin like convex lens on both sides.
He erected the ice lens between the two stones and let the three children put the hay on the ground.
He looked at the sun and turned in the direction so that the sun could be shot directly to the middle of the ice lens and could be directed on the hay.
The midday sun was just right. The three children didn't understand what Yan Mo was going to do. When they saw that the hay they were on the ground suddenly burned, they screamed together.
The Awu warriors who stayed at the place to guard and did not have to be responsible for patrolling around in the current time were curious to come over. They just wanted to come and see the Priest Da Ren's move, but it was not very interesting.
Yan Mo watched The Awu warriors come over and he explained them to them. This explanation does not need for them to understand the language. As long as they looks at his actions, they can basically understand what he is doing and what effect it has.
Yan Mo asked Wu Chen to find an ice cube about 10 centimeters thick. Wu Chen ran away, and soon he took a large brick of ice back.
"Ice cubes with a convex lens effect will be faster. If you don't have the right tools around you in the wild, you can just find such a piece of ice and knock off the surrounding edges. Only a piece of ice close to the circle is left a little bit thicker, just like this one on my hand, if its too thin its going to be sunburned, too thick and it not easily to let the sun shine, 5-10 cm is an ideal number."
Yan Mo said while using a scalpel to draw a circle on the ice, he made the warrior next to take the stone to remove ice around the ice to make it convex. When he was using his scalpel, other people weren't fazed is not the first time for them to see it. It is no longer as amazing as it was when they first saw it, but everyone still admires Priest Da Ren's sharp knife in his hand. Someone used stone to make the same knife but even if it looked similar, but the sharpness was not comparable to The Priest's knife.
The named Awu warrior was very happy he was using the stone-pick to gently tap the ice removing the corners while being watched by the envious eyes of the surrounding companions.
Yan Mo was silent, what is this envy for? I will let you guys experiment with it later.
When the ice was knocked, Yan Mo endures the cold, he rubbing the ice with the palm of his hand, removing the burrs and making the ice round.
"The most important step is to make the ice thinner up and down. You can try it." Yan Mo made a demonstration and immediately handed the ice to another warrior who was eager to try.
The warrior smiled and licked his mouth, revealing a distorted tooth. He did everything according to Yan Mo instructions the palm of his hand rubbed the ice over and over again. Even if the palm was cold, he couldn't bear to let go. Others wanted to help him. He didn't want to let them
After that, Yan Mo put the ground ice in the middle of the two stones, making the sun, ice and hay a in a diagonal line.
The time for the fire burst this time was a little longer, but the hay was still successfully lit.
"Wow!" The crowd exclaimed with joy. They didn't understand the principle. They only thought it was one of the magical Witchcraft that Priest Da Ren taught them.
Yan Mo doesn't need them to understand the principle, as long as they will follow and make it happen.
"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 hurry, you can carry a wooden bowl with you, put water in it on the evening, and use the cubes frozen the next day to use them directly." Yan Mo asked Big Eyes to take the two wooden bowls at the door of his tent and pour out the ice inside to show it to everyone.
"You have to experiment on your own." Yan Mo waved his hand and said that the class time was over, so that everyone should do what he did
Everyone did not scatter, and the adult and the children were experimenting happily with ice cube ignition. Whoever succeeded, they could hear “wow", which was amazing for them.
Yan Mo was also remembering yesterday when Yuan Zhan led the team and suddenly thought of how they would make a fire in the wild, and then thought of a video he had seen when he was a child about how to make fire using the ice cubes. Unfortunately, Yuan Zhan had left before he had no time to teach them.
In order not to lose face in front of the students, he tried it on his own yesterday and since he decided that it can be done he came out to teach people.
Wu Chen he did not pay attention to everyone did he went up to Yan Mo, "Da Ren."
"Little one what wrong?" Yan Mo turned back.
Wu Chen looked around and determined that Big Eyes and Sa could not see them, and he took out the two yellow-purple fruits from his arms. "Da Ren, look."
Yan Mo was surprised, in this cold weather it turned out there are plants that are willing to bear fruit? He also knows that winter pears, winter jujubes, oranges, oranges and lemons grow ripe in winter, but he does not expect to find these fruits on this land.
"What fruit is this?" Yan Mo took the fruit and observed it carefully. This little fruit he had never seen before. The two worlds are not exactly the same. "Can you eat it?"
This sentence is simple, Wu Chen Understand, nod,
"Can."
Yan Mo didn't immediately eat it. 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: query objects, plants, belong to the scope of the second article, a query for this plant, a brief introduction requires +1 point scum value, the detailed introduction requires +3 point scum value, two introduction can be chosen , please decide within five seconds.
The value of the sc that needs to be added this time is not the same as the previous query for lime mud, Yan Mo thought. However, he still chose a brief introduction.
- Variant of Buckthorn fruit, this is the Sea Buckthorn fruit, also known as sour fruit, high nutritionous. Small berry plants, which are deciduous grow in shrubs or small trees, once they have developed root systems, they can prevent wind and sand, retain water and soil, and improve soil.
It turned out to be Sea Buckthorn fruit!
Yan Mo did not expect Wu Chen to bring him such a surprise.
Although The Guide is simple, how could he not know the effect of Sea Buckthorn fruit? This is way than just the “high nutrition" mentioned in The Guide. In terms of medicinal value, Sea Buckthorn is a treasure, fruit, leaves and seeds, all can be to improve blood circulation, spleen and stomach, cold, heat and cough and other effects.
At the same time, the sea buckthorn oil has excellent curative effect on the treatment of burns, burns, frostbite and knife wounds, and will not leave scars. Seabuckthorn seed oil has the same skin nourishing effect and has the function of protecting the liver and nourishing the stomach.
However, the original world's Sea Buckthorn fruit is generally orange, but here is yellow or purple. And the original world's Sea Buckthorn fruit is very small, only 4-6 mm in diameter, but the one here is relatively large, about the size of his little finger's fingertips.
I don't know how it tastes?
Yan Mo picked up a mouth and put it in the mouth. Hey, the acid is sweet and the taste is acceptable. Unlike the one he had eaten before, just that its sourness is stronger.
It's a long story, but it was only less than ten seconds before Yan Mo's query of the fruit to put the fruit in the mouth.
Wu Chen was hesitant to tell Priest Da Ren about Big Eyes and Sa's disappearance, and he was afraid that The Priest would worry too much.
As a result, he did not speak. Priest Da Ren had already asked him first: "This fruit is very good. Where did you find it?"
Wu Chen guessed the meaning of Da Ren words and shook his head honestly: "I didn't find it, it was Big Eyes. And Sa.
"Oh? Can you let them take me to see where?" Yan Mo tried to be as simple as possible, and the two little devils who had fun with ice in the distance.
Wu Chen grabbed his head and decided to tell Da Ren the truth.
Yan Mo listened to the other person's description than using the hand, and generally understood what was going on. "You ask them first, see if they would like to say where the fruit is taken. If not I will go look for it" "
He had things to tell Priest Da Ren and Wu Chen longer worried about having a backbone, and it was more natural when he went to talk to Big Eyes and Sa.
"The fruit was delicious, where did you got it? Take me there, I want to pick more." Wu Chen whispered to the two.
Sa wanted to say but he was immediately hit by Big Eyes.
"Can't you tell me?" Wu Chen face was angry looking and he got up and said: "That's it."
"Hey! Thick Eyebrows!" Sa looked awkward when Wu Chen was angry.
But Big Eyes snorted: "Why tell him what? He is not Priest Da Ren!"
"Then tell Priest Da Ren." Wu Chen turned his head.
Big Eyes plugged in, the first twisted, did not speak.
Sa is looking at this and seeing it again. "We can't tell you, yes, we promised..."
"Sa!" Big Eyes suddenly screamed.
Sa shut up.
Big Eyes pulled to the side, and the two little kids spoke about it for a while. After that, the two ran back. Big Eyes said reluctantly with Wu Chen: "This way, we can tell you tomorrow if you want to go."
"Then I will tell you how to make sandals tomorrow." Wu Chen turned and left.
"Hey? You can make it? The Unibrow Eyebrow child, you wait!" Big Eyes listened and quickly caught up.
Three small fights, Big Eyes eyes were pleading, but also he was sprinkling, all kinds of methods to bribe The Eyebrows to tell him, Wu Chen was not willing to say he wanted to teach him how to weave sandals, but also proposed to exchange it for the fruits, Big Eyes eye will have to first take him to where they were picking the fruits, he will teach him how to make it.
When I thought of Big Eyes, he was accidentally a credit-worthy child. Even Sa couldn't help but want to say it, but he was stopped several times. Finally, he promised to give Wu Chen a final reply tomorrow.
Wu Chen later told Yan Mo about the things that happened
"So do you think we are going to wait till tomorrow, or are we going to follow them today?" Yan Mo asked.
Wu Chen hesitated, thinking about it, he still said according to his own mind: "Wait until tomorrow." He and Big Eyes are the same age, he doesn't know what credibility his words are, but he already know that since they are old friends they had a brotherly promise no never lie, and tell other kids secrets to other people otherwise he will be hated and rejected by your friends.
Yan Mo nodded and his palm touched his forehead. "Good. Big Eyes hide the facts, although it is worrying, but if he can keep his promise and not sell out his friends because of coercion. This is very good and you, because you urgently want to know the facts, regardless of the partner's position, this is also very good. You are all good children."
Wu Chen smiled silly.
"Since the two children were safe enough to come back this time, we will not do anything tonight." From the description from Wu Chen, Yan Mo has already thought that this is likely to involve the existence of a third party, and not just a place where Sea Buckthorn fruit grows.
"You go and rest, and wait for Big Eyes to answer you tomorrow."
Wu Chen nodded and left.
Children can feel at ease, but Yan Mo can't. Not to mention that he wanted to know the secret, today Big Eyes and Sa had to ask to the third party if they can bring others to the place and that in itself is a more dangerous behavior.
Safety now does not mean that it is safe in the future. It would not be a surprising fact if the other party wanted to kill two children in order to preserve the secrets.
Therefore, Yan Mo decided to keep up with it. Of course, he did not want to be alone in danger. He also brought two warriors. The two warriors were also specially designated to protect him before Yuan Zhan left Yan Mo in the camp. That's it. If he goes out, these two people must follow.
The two warriors were desecrated, no matter what they saw, they could not make a sound, and they could not act rashly. All actions must be directed by Yan Mo.
The two warriors stated that their main responsibility is also to protect Priest Da Ren, which is what Priest Da Ren said.
The two bratty children ran in front, and they were not afraid of the cold, they were throwing snowballs at each other, and laughing and screaming from time to time. They didn't expect that someone was observing them, and they didn't deliberately hide their whereabouts.
Although the two warriors wondered why Priest Da Ren had to follow two kids, they did not ask much.
Yan Mo has no knowledge of stalking, but the two warriors are used to hunting and tracking prey. After hunting and learning more from Meng Er, it is not too easy to track two children on the snow.
In order not to let the two children discover, they did not follow closely, but that is the case, they are not afraid to lose them.
The two brats ran and ran to the oversized lake.
There are a lot of sparse woods growing in many places along the lake, and the two children ran into one of the trees.
Yan Mo three people kept up, because the intuition told his that they have reached the destination, the three people's footsteps were lighter.
A lot of large and small stones can be seen through the shore of little lake, and the lake was already frozen.
Big Eyes sneaked up and looked around, taking a salted fish from a piece of animal skin and holding it.
Big Eyes stepped on the stone, then carefully stepped on the stone from the stone, so he stepped on a large rock that was connected to the ice surface When he stood still, he lifted the salted fish and threw it in the lake. His mouth also shouted: "La Ruo, La Ruo."
Sa boldly stepped on ice and walked over until the ice layer became thin, he climbed the stone and swayed into the cold lake. .
Yan Mo, was hiding at the edge of the woods when he saw that after the two children shouted "La Ruo", there was a ripple on the lake, just like there was a large fish swimming under the lake at a very fast speed. .
What will it be? Yan Mo was shocked.
But the two children can see the water pattern and they were not only not afraid, but they are more happy to shout: "La Ruo!"
"Oh!" Something came to the shore where the ice water meets the shore and came out.
Yan Mo's eyes widened, and his current vision made him see a head.
That turned out to be... a child's head? But what was that on the sides of the child's head? fins?
Soon the child pressed up from the ice layer and exposed the entire upper body.
Yan Mo was in a weird daze and the two warriors around him are the same.
They actually saw a undressed child fish come from the deep winter lake. The child hair was curled and its hair color was maroon, the black eyes were big and watery, the skin color was white, the ears were like fins, but they were not fat and were pierced, and the little face that that was tender and cute.
Say good enemy representing danger?
Is this little child like five years old?
Although he looks strange, such as his ears, hair, and his exposed hands. But overall, this is a child who is similar to humans.
The only thing that seems to be dangerous is probably the child's hands. Not only are the fingers in the fingers, but the fingers are longer than the average human finger, and the fingertips are sharp. The nails looked like claws and not like normal nails, more like sharp bones.
"How come you came late?" Yan Mo heard the child making a voice, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Although it seems that the age is small, the meaning of the speech is clear.
Wait, the child said the same thing as they said! No wonder Big Eyes and Sa can communicate with him.
“Today, Priest Da Ren was showing us witchcraft and taught it to us that it is very fun, so thats why we came late."
Big Eyes and Sa's guessed, the children's words are inseparable, and they're stuck in the past few days.
"Witchcraft? What Witchcraft?" asked a small head.
"I will tell you later." Big Eyes handed the salted fish in in the big stone to the little hair fish boy named La Ruo.
When the little boy saw the fish, he screamed a cheering excitement, and the witchcraft issue was thrown behind forgotten "Fish fish! Salty fish! Wait for me!" The little child put the salted fish on ice, and his body turned again he plunged directly in the lake, after a while, the little child raised a large number of Sea Buckthorn fruits emerged from the water. "I took a lot of it on the island today, I thought you were not coming today."
Big Eyes and Sa were also very happy with Sea Buckthorn fruit. The three children exchanged gifts, and the two sat on the stone and one on ice.
Big Eyes and Sa also can't understand the Jiu Yuan words that they were talking about, and Yan Mo taught them the witchcraft of using ice to make fire, and they rushed to tell it to the child.
The little child obviously did understand. He watched them patting the ice block and the child thought they wanted it. Its claws slipped on ice and slipped a few pieces of ice for them.
Big Eyes eye and Sa were immediately excited, gesturing him to draw a circle of ice, get ice, two small squatting live on a stone, "If you can pull it ashore, we show you fun!"
Young child looked at the two children running to the shore, he agreed and probably this is not the first time for the child to go ashore, he did not hesitate, he took the salted fish and climbed on ice.
The three adults hiding in the woods also saw the whole picture of the little hairs.
Yan Mo face was frozen well, he met with a Human-face Bird, The little monster that looks like a dwarf, it seems normal to see The Mer-people again. In some ancient records of his original world, it is said that a long time ago, there were all kinds of strange races on the mainland. At that time, ordinary humans, giants, dwarves, The Mer-people and various human with X or XX heads were living on the same time and space and on the same planet.
The lower part of the small child is a fish tail with a medium fat end and a long tail. The fish tail is very beautiful and glows silverly in the sun.
The two warriors held their breath and looked a bit scared. Yan Mo was afraid that the two of them would rush out and quickly turned to make a don't move gesture to them.
The two warriors nodded. There is Priest Da Ren, they are not afraid, they were just surprised.
Yan Mo thought that the small child could only slide on ice, he wanted to watch how the child was going to use the fish tail to slide straight and walk, and it is no problem to go ashore.
Big Eyes and Sa did not go too deep into the woods, just on the edge, greeting the little child together to see how they ignited with ice.
Yan Mo stared at the little fish boy and did not want to scare him by coming into contact with him. There are children, there must be adults. How many fish people live in a lake that looks like a huge sea?
If they can go ashore, are they the threatening ferocious beasts that Yuan Zhan observed?
However, their language communication first solved a big problem, so they have the possibility of communication. Even if the fishermen are more powerful, they are not unable to coexist peacefully. It seems that they seem to lack salt?
Yan Mo touched his chin and smiled slyly.
The little fish boy saw the leaves igniting, he scared enough to move away from the distance, he did not seem to have ever seen the fire, but was instinctively afraid.
Big Eyes and Sa didn't know what happened to the little fish boy and quickly called him.
The little fish boy was frightened and waved his claws to the two little brats.
The two warriors immediately became nervous, and one couldn't help but move forward a little.
"Oh." The snow on the bush was knocked down by him.
The boy who was threatening the two children, turned his head and looked at the direction where Yan Mo was hiding.
