Chapter 55 Do you have a calendar? (Please add to favorites and recommend)

The Rat Wizard kept pointing at the Chinese characters and asking questions, and Luo Chong taught him one by one. Each character on the wall had a different pronunciation and a different meaning.

The Rat Wizard pointed at the character "木". Luo Chong first taught him how to pronounce it, then pointed to the log outside, and the Rat Wizard's wooden stick, and then read "木" again. The Rat Wizard was surprised. These symbols were different, but each symbol represented the same thing. It seemed that there was nothing that could not be expressed in Chinese characters.

Luo Chong pointed to "车" again, read the pronunciation first, and then pointed to the cart outside. The Rat Wizard also read it. Later, the Rat Wizard stopped looking at the characters and pointed directly at things to ask what they were, but Luo Chong could name all of them.

The Rat Wizard then realized that those symbols were another form of expression of the Han tribe's language. The Han tribe's language could be spoken and drawn on the wall.

However, the Black Rat Tribe did not have such symbols, and their local dialect could not call out the names of various things. They usually called them "this, that", which made it easy to confuse things.

What are the uses of these symbols? After asking around, the Rat Wizard fell into thought. If everyone learned this kind of symbols, wouldn't they write some symbols for others to see, so that others would know what they were saying?

Luo Chong didn't know what the old man was thinking, but seeing that he was thinking, he didn't disturb him. If Luo Chong knew that the Rat Wizard had already figured out that words could be used to convey information, he would probably praise him as a genius.

Although the people of the Han tribe learn Chinese characters every day, they have never thought about the use of Chinese characters. This alone makes Luo Chong extremely disappointed. They are still not good at thinking. How did humans progress? Isn't it because of constant thinking that they progressed?

Facing a group of students who could only learn Chinese characters by "coercion and inducement" every day, suddenly there came a person who took the initiative to learn and liked to think. Although he was an old man, Luo Chong was still very happy, so he took the initiative to invite the Rat Wizard and Rat Da to stay overnight and leave tomorrow.

When the Rat Wizard heard Luo Chong's invitation, he agreed very happily. He also had many questions to discuss with Luo Chong.

In this way, the people of the Black Rat Tribe stayed as guests. Luo Chong announced that they would have an extra meal today, and they could have an extra lunch. The people were very happy.

However, the cave was a bit crowded. It was okay to stand or sit, but if everyone lay down to sleep, there would definitely not be enough space. So Luo Chong prepared to move the rabbit pen out to free up some space in the cave.

He did it right away. The new rabbit pen was placed in the corner of the animal pen. Luo Chong chose the location and asked people to start work. He first laid a layer of blue bricks on the ground. It was necessary to lay them, because rabbits love to dig holes, and it would be bad if they ran away.

Then he used blue bricks to build walls. There was no adhesive, but blue bricks were directly piled up. However, it was impossible for rabbits to knock down such a thick wall. A few logs were placed on top as beams, and then hay was laid as the roof. Some wood and bricks were pressed on top, and that was it.

Thick hay was laid inside, and a few pieces of wood were thrown in for the rabbits to grind their teeth. Luo Chong asked the women to carry more than 50 rabbits to the pen outside, and then carry the grass from the rabbit pen in the cave into the pen. The grass had their smell, which would not make them so unfamiliar.

Luo Chong also took a look and found that 16 of the rabbits were pregnant, not only the 9 big rabbits, but also some of the smaller ones caught in the first batch. This made Luo Chong very happy. What is 16 times 5? This is still the most conservative estimate. The last time, there were six or seven in a litter.

The people of the Black Rat Tribe were also visiting the animal pen, looking at the 16 blue antelopes, two mammoths, and dozens of rabbits that had just moved in. The people of the Han tribe were particularly kind to these animals. I don’t know why.

When the Rat Witch saw Luo Chong grinning at the rabbits, he took the initiative to ask why Luo Chong didn’t kill them. These were all food.

Before Luo Chong could answer, Da Shu started to explain excitedly, explaining the purpose of Luo Chong raising rabbits, and pointed at the rabbits and proudly said that he had caught them.

In fact, Da Shu did not understand Luo Chong's purpose of raising rabbits at first, until he saw the rabbits reproduce for the first time, from 30 to more than 50, almost doubling. Now there are so many rabbits pregnant, Da Shu is also very happy.

But he didn't know how many rabbits would be born this time. As a result, Luo Chong told him that the rabbits born this time would be much more than all the rabbits now. Da Shu was so happy that it was much easier to raise rabbits than to catch rabbits in the past. Thinking that the number of rabbits would double every time in the future, Da Shu fell into a state of dementia.

The people of the Black Rat Tribe were also surprised. The principle of raising rabbits was very simple, and they understood it. It was the same as their own tribesmen, men and women gave birth to children, and then the population increased.

But they didn't expect that there was such a way to store food. Isn't it easier than hunting, and safer?

Rat Da looked at the rabbits, wondering if his tribe could learn to raise them, while Rat Witch secretly speculated about the various magics of the Han tribe. Then he quietly pulled Luo Chong aside and asked in a low voice: "Leader of the Han tribe, who told you these things? Is it the god of your tribe? Why don't you have a witch in your tribe? Or are you the witch?"

Luo Chong thought the old man was weird at first, and it took him a long time to figure out what he meant, but when faced with this question, he hesitated again.

Is there a god in this world? If it was in the previous life, he would definitely say no without hesitation, but now, if there is no god, then how did he get here?

So this question is really hard to answer. Luo Chong himself doesn't believe that there are no gods, but he hasn't seen any gods.

After thinking for a long time, Luo Chong said, "I'm not a witch, and there are no witches in our tribe. I know these things by nature. Maybe there are really gods in this world, but I haven't seen them."

The Rat Witch was also trying to understand what Luo Chong meant. There are no witches, and I've never seen gods, but you know so much by nature.

Do you really think you are a god? Maybe it's really possible, otherwise how could he know so many things that humans don't understand, especially things as advanced as Chinese characters and Chinese.

This idea occupied the Rat Witch's brain in an instant, and made him look at Luo Chong with an abnormal look, full of awe and respect.

Luo Chong was frightened by the Rat Wizard's gaze, so he asked a question to interrupt him: "You are the wizard of the Black Rat Tribe, so have you seen the god of your tribe? How did you know that this year's winter would be longer, and let your leader go out to find food?"

When the Rat Wizard understood Luo Chong's question, he felt very bad, and Luo Chong stabbed him in the heart. If I had seen the god, why would I come to your place? Wouldn't we have enough food for the winter?

The Rat Wizard sighed softly and shook his head. Seeing that no one was looking in this direction, he said to Luo Chong: "I haven't seen the god either, and I have never received guidance from the god."

Luo Chong felt that this answer was normal, but also a little disappointed. He also wanted to see what the god looked like and whether he could help him go back.

The two were silent for a while, and Luo Chong realized that the Rat Wizard had only answered half of the question just now, so he continued to ask: "How do you know that this winter will be longer?"

The Rat Wizard thought about it and told Luo Chong. He broke his fingers and Luo Chong's fingers and said: "Every fourteen winters, there will be a longer winter, and there will be fourteen more sunsets than the usual winter."

Luo Chong was stunned when he saw the 14 fingers put together. What does this mean? What is the rule of 14 more days every 14 years? Is it a leap year in this world? "   Do

you have a calendar?" Luo Chong asked the Rat Wizard in surprise.
