——On the first day, teach them how to make fire, hunt, and build a house.

…

The first night in the forest.

The children carefully used rope bows twisted from vines to spin wooden sticks sharpened with stone axes at high speed on the wood with a small groove dug out.

There were some wood chips placed in the groove, and they stared nervously at the place where the sharpened stick came into contact with the wood chips.

Until white smoke started to appear there, and the wood chips suddenly became charred black and quickly curled up and shrunk.

Then, jump out of Mars.

The children quickly picked up the smoking splinters, brought them to their mouths and carefully blew air into them.

The sparks flickered with the breath, and at a certain moment, they suddenly rose into a small ball of orange flame.

The children cheered and turned the fire into the pyre that had been laid out.

After a while, the small flame before burned into a raging fire.

They spontaneously held hands and circled around the fiercely beating bonfire.

He kept shouting cheerfully: "Fire! Fire!"

When I was tired from running, I sat around the campfire and stared at the dancing flames in trance.

Tang Liu said to them: "Have a good rest tonight, and tomorrow we will go hunting in the mountains.

"Collect the materials by the way and help you make fire dumplings.

"With the fire seal, you can light a fire at any time in the future."

The children could only understand roughly, but they still looked at him in surprise and anticipation and said, "Wow!"

Tang Wulin also said "Wow": "Uncle, what is Huozhezi?"

Tang Liu smiled and said: "You can think of it as the most primitive lighter."

Tang Wulin: "I want to learn too!"

It's dawn.

Tang Liu led a group of children up the mountain.

Make simple wooden spears and build simple traps.

I chopped down the bamboo and scraped dog hair and saltpeter from the stone wall beside the pool.

Then break the charcoal from last night's bonfire into powder.

With one pass of operation, everyone has a piece of fire.

Throughout the afternoon, the children used fire sticks to make fire in novel ways, lighting and extinguishing sawdust until the novelty wore off.

Tang Wulin was extremely shocked, holding a small bamboo tube in his hand: "Why can it keep fire?"

Tang Liudao: "A kind of re-ignition phenomenon. The nitrate in Huozhezi is a combustible substance that has been ignited, but it lacks a combustion accelerant, that is, oxygen, so the fire does not burn vigorously.

"At this time, take out some and blow air on it, which is to deliver enough oxygen to it in a short period of time. If the concentration of the accelerant is enough, the fire will naturally start.

"But my explanation may not be correct. If you are still interested after offline, you can check it online yourself."

Tang Wulin: "I understand, hehe!"

When the sun went down, Tang Liu took a group of children up the mountain again to check the traps he had set earlier.

Then I came back with a few hares and pheasants to deal with.

The children didn't know how long it had been before they had their first meal of meat.

From then on, Tang Liu took them to repeat the process of hunting and gathering in the mountains.

By the way, teach them to build simple shacks with bamboo and wood to provide shelter from wind and rain.

Until the children can go out hunting and gathering on their own.

Survive on your own.

Then.

…

——On the second day, teach them writing, communication, and recording.

…

"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive. The sun and the moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are arrayed. Cold and summer come and go, autumn harvests and winter hides..."

A young man in blue was sitting cross-legged on a rock, with several logs placed in front of him and children sitting in rows on them.

Some were listening attentively to the young man reciting scriptures, while others were clasping their chins and looking away, already in a daze.

Especially the girl who once held a baby.

Suddenly, a pebble fell on the girl's head.

The girl said "Ouch" and covered her head.

At the same time, Qinglie's warm voice sounded.

"Xiao Hong, if you don't listen carefully, I will punish you by copying the Thousand Character Essay again today."

She looked at the young man sitting on the rock in front of her and puffed out her cheeks: "It's not fair, they didn't listen either!"

The person she pointed at quickly straightened up his back and placed his hands neatly on his legs.

The girl pursed her lips: "And teacher, how many days have we listened to "The Thousand Character Essay", when can we change it to another one?"

Tang Liu looked at her with a smile: "What, you have remembered it all? Can you write it down by yourself completely and without any mistakes?"

The girl's eyes widened: "These are two different things!"

Tang Liu curled his lips: "There are some of the easiest-to-understand truths in "The Thousand-Character Classic". The purpose of learning it is to enlighten you and to make you more familiar with words.

"Otherwise, when will you wait until you can give yourself a good name?"

When this was mentioned, the children became visibly excited.

Regardless of the fact that class was going on, they started discussing with each other and the people around them.

The girl raised her hand again and said: "Teacher, I have already chosen a name for myself!"

Tang Liu looked at her and smiled: "Oh, really? Let's talk about it."

The girl was very happy: "Last time, my elder brother brought back some books, and I found a very beautiful word in it, with three words for "water"!

"I asked my eldest brother how to pronounce that character, and he also taught me that the character is pronounced 'miao'!"

"I like water and fire. Miao has three waters, and fire is red, so I named myself Miaohong!"

The other children all exclaimed in admiration: "Wow!"

However, Tang Liu couldn't help laughing: "Okay, little Miaohong. But the teacher has to tell you one thing. Are you sure you want to use 'Miao' as your last name?"

The girl was stunned for a moment: "The last name? Does it mean Miaohong is wrong? What about Hongmiao?"

Tang Liuxiao: "That's not what the teacher meant."

The girl puffed up her cheeks: "Then what exactly is a "surname", teacher?"

"Surname..." Tang Liu murmured in a low voice, and then smiled, "I want to know what "surname" is, so today, let's start learning a brand new article, okay?"

He glanced at the children and watched their reactions.

Then, he said with a smile: "This new article is called "Hundred Family Surnames"."

The children shouted in unison: ""Hundred Family Surnames"?"

Tang Liu nodded: "It's still the same, I'll recite one sentence, and you guys will recite one sentence after me.

"Read it from beginning to end, and then we'll write it down together.

"Then, you can pick out the surname you like best and use it to name yourself."

Children: "Okay!"

Tang Liu chuckled: "Then let's start now."

He paused and said in a melodious voice: "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, King Zheng..."

"Zhao Qian Sun Li, Zhou Wu King Zheng."

"...Wanqi, Sima, Shangguan, Ouyang..."

"Wanqi Sima, Shangguan Ouyang."

"...Fifth, words, blessings, the end of "Hundred Family Surnames"."

"The fifth word is blessing, and all families will die!"

"This character is beautiful! This one is beautiful too!"

"So there are so many surnames, it's so hard to choose!"

"I saw red! Oh, and Miao! These two characters are both surnames!"

"Which one should I choose as my last name?"

"I want that two-letter word that sounds nice!"

"I want it too!"

Looking at the children gathered together and chirping at the "Hundred Family Surnames" they each wrote crookedly, Tang Liu pursed his lips and smiled.
Chapter completed!
