I understand, just don’t spray, oooo

69, writing brush…
The two hills at the entrance and exit of the tribe are hung high on a wooden plaque with the four characters of Yanhuang tribe engraved on it. Xia He glanced at his masterpiece with satisfaction. Although the writing was a bit crooked, but with ink stained on it, it appeared in thick black font, which could be seen clearly from a distance.
“He, what do you say is written on it?” asked Xia He fiercely. I am very curious about this “character”. The black boxes indicate that it is a word. Xia He said that as long as anyone sees the word on it, he will know that the tribe belongs to the Yanhuang tribe. “Also, He, people in our tribe don’t know what it means, even if other tribes see it, they won’t understand it.”
“It’s the Yanhuang tribe, it doesn’t matter. Next, I plan to teach you how to read.” Xia He said confidently. The absence of a character that can be communicated is like everyone is illiterate. As long as you have characters that everyone knows, you can fully implement all the communication and the words you want to express but are ashamed to speak and fail to speak. “It’s going to be a few days, I want to sort out how to start teaching you.”
He is not well-educated, but it is still possible to teach them to recognize radical strokes and daily words. I have been in contact with them for almost a year, and 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 in this winter when one month has passed, they can learn the strokes and radicals he taught, and it will be much easier to compose characters in the future.
Back at home, standing at the door, you can see the male orcs of the Leopard and Tiger tribes playing dog-sticking games on the snow, the rising **** atmosphere, and the orcs nearby cheering and shouting, almost the whole winter. The cold pressure came down.
In this half month, the panther tribe orcs can be said to have completely integrated into the tiger tribe’s life. The total number of houses used by their people is more than 30. Xia He suggested that they move to the first courtyard house, so that the first courtyard house can be filled with people. The food that could have been relaxed and eaten became compact because there were more than 60 people. Fortunately, there are also more than 30 males in the leopard tribe orcs, and 28 of them can go out hunting.
It may be that Xia He was originally not a tiger orc, and the Leopards have been able to accept him as their patriarch since the start of the combination, but under normal circumstances, the Leopards still go to the coffee to discuss matters. Xia He didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. Being able to accept that he became their patriarch was already a great improvement. Besides, they should discuss the not-so-serious matters with a coffee maker. If they can solve it by themselves, let them solve it by themselves. He is happy too, isn’t he? Even Meng agreed with them.
What is going to be done now is how to make brushes, and how to have books and papers to practice writing. Xiahe doesn’t know how to make ballpoint pens, but brushes are relatively easy and simple. Ask Chi and the two little orcs to find the little bamboo tubes they want, and chicken feathers or rabbit hairs, and finally find any hairy ones.
The handle of the brush is made of a small bamboo tube, and the brush head is straightened together with all kinds of hairs. The upper part is firm with soft silk, and the lower part is cut into a pointed shape with scissors. The difficult part is how to connect this bunch of hairs with the bamboo tube tightly. If you just put a solid brush tip into the bamboo tube, it will be very unreliable to use, because it is loose, it will all the brush tip at any time. Stuffed into a bamboo tube, this method is not reliable. I also tried to tie up the wire with the opening of the bamboo tube at the end of the brush head, but in the end it all failed. Either the bamboo tube was cracked, or the bundle of hair was swallowed into the bamboo tube.
After repeated productions several times, I finally got it. Just use the most nodular part of the bamboo tube, carefully make a small opening inside the knot, and then cautiously stuff the bunch of solid hair in, just right, the mouth is not open too big, and hold it tightly. Put the end of it together. Xia He held this brush in his hand, which was almost the same as the brush he had known before, and then took the prepared ink grass juice. The ink grass juice was placed in a thick rock. Originally Xia He saw that this rock was very suitable for ink. It would be better to pick out a concave shape with a knife and put the ink grass juice in it.
I haven’t used a brush for too long to write, and Xia He feels that it’s not smooth to grasp the pen. Adjusted the gesture of grasping the pen, dipped the brush in the ink grass juice, first stroked the pen on a wooden board, and wrote his name crookedly. After writing a whole piece of wood, Xia He’s writing will get better, and it will no longer be crooked. Although it is not a so-called artistic word, it is at least correct, with strokes and strokes.
“Ba, and congratulations. Have you seen it? From now on, you will be the same as I am now. You must learn to grasp the pen, learn to write, and learn to recognize these words. Can you do it?”
“…” “…” Neither of the two little orcs answered.
Xia He was almost speechless, “Speak to you,” first look at He and then to Ba, “Ba, don’t you have the confidence to learn?”
Ba bowed his head after thinking for a while and said, “It’s not Brother He, but I think learning this is not very helpful to me, and it’s not helpful to hunting skills. Therefore, I would rather spend this time thinking about how to quickly hunt like A beast like a wild boar.”
Putting down the brush, Xia He also talked with them seriously. “The hunting skill is certainly not to be lost, but you can’t be thinking about this all day, right? I remember well, you are now, mowing the grass back every day, and then go to Meng’s place to let him. I’m here to train you, and you will be playing there in the rest of the time, right?”
After Ba and Hedu nodded, Xia He continued, “Now we are starting to change the time. In the morning, you two should not worry about cutting the grass. Use the morning time for study. At noon, you will go out to mow after eating and come back. After that, I will find Meng to train you. In the afternoon when Meng and they are going out hunting, you will come back and continue to review. After you review and remember what you learned in the morning, it’s time for dinner. You see, this The schedule for the day is full, so this day is fulfilling, isn’t it? The study, training, and mowing haven’t been left behind. Moreover, not just the two of you, but all the little orcs in the tribe.”
“Ah~ Then there is no time to play, Brother He, I don’t want to learn well, you see, the hair of this brush is soft, and it is not easy to write.” He took another newly made brush and pointed at it. Said the tuft.
“I said, all the little orcs have to do this, and there is no discussion. Now you two go to the courtyard house first and tell them how I just made a brush, so that each of them can learn how to make it. Go ahead, congratulations. What do you mean by pouting?” Xia He sandwiched his two little red lips and said, the little guy now has more flesh, and his skin is much fairer than before. If Ba is Xiao Zhengtai, then He is a tiger kid through and through.
After the two little orcs went out, Xia He meditated on what to use instead of paper. Now that I have pen and ink, I only owe Dongfeng. If the two notebooks I brought with me were used to practice calligraphy for them, I would probably not learn to write a few words after writing one.
At this time Chi also came in, holding a large and flat wooden board in his hand. “He, see if this is the black… blackboard you want.”
After reading it back and forth, I found that Chi was very careful and smoothed out all the thorns on the wooden block. “Well, it’s very suitable. You have worked hard for Chi.” He hugged Chi, and kissed him on the cheek.
It’s not enough to just kiss Chi, it turns into an initiative, kissing Xia He’s sweet lips.
“Okay…Okay,” Xia He pushed away Chi, panting quickly, “I can’t breathe without seeing it.”
“Haha…” Chi said nothing, just smiled and hugged Xia He.
After a long while, Xia He was distressed and talked to Chi about his current state of sleepiness. “Chi, you may have to go no matter how busy you are, and ask parents of little orcs in other families to make a wooden board that is half the size of our current one.”
After Chi said that there was no problem, he picked up Xia He and sat down. Standing for a long time was not good for the pregnant husband. “He has other things, 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 fellow is always saying such emotional words inadvertently.
“You can also see the books on the table in the room, that are the sheets of paper. I want that kind of paper, but it is not available in the tribe. Paper is very useful and can record what you want to remember. Things, you can draw, you can… wipe your butt, as long as you store it well, it can be preserved forever. For example, what interesting things have happened to us now, write it down, hundreds or thousands of years later You can know all of them. Of course, you have to know words in advance.” Said slowly, leaning against the red Huaixia River.
“How is paper made? We can do it ourselves.”
“…I don’t know, I just don’t know. I’m worried. You said, if I knew that one day I would come to this tribe, I must have learned all the knowledge for five thousand years!… But God Irresponsible, just threw me here without making a sound.”
“It’s okay, we can slowly research it out by ourselves. Didn’t we say that we hadn’t done many things before, but later it was not done for us. Don’t worry, ah.” Chi comforted his ambition. A lover who is soaring and dejected.
Xia He calmed down and continued, “Well. What is paper? Common sense is that it is made of wood, and it also needs to have fiber. It seems that there must be glue. Glue is the kind of sticky thing. Let’s make them oars. I don’t know the rest. But I heard my grandma said that hemp is fine, hemp
