Chapter 142: Learning Combat Sign Language
"So everyone better remember these combat sign languages."
"I believe everyone should know the conventional way to express numbers, right?"
As he spoke, Wei Lan glanced at Nan Wei and Zhang Xue, then looked at Lin Qin.
Zhang Xue laughed, and then said very positively: "This is easy, I'll do it."
"When people say 1234, for 1, they usually hold out their index finger, for 2, they hold out their ring finger, and for 3, they hold out their ring finger as well."
"Of course, ordinary people's expressions of numbers are generally not limited to which finger is used. For example, for 1, you can just use whichever finger you want. There are no such things to pay attention to."
Wei Lan smiled slightly, then said: "Yes, but our expression of numbers may be relatively high. You should know it after reading it once."
As he spoke, Wei Lan stretched out his hand and continued; "This is 1, 2, 3, 4..."
As each number sounded, Wei Lan made a corresponding gesture.
"Do you understand? Follow me and let me see."
It is not difficult to express these numbers. The main difficulty lies in the fact that each person extends different fingers. As long as they are standardized, it will be almost the same if each of them does it twice.
Of course, the expression of some numbers requires breaking conventional cognition.
But compared to the others, this is not that difficult.
Zhang Xue and Nan Wei did it twice.
When doing some of the numbers, I would get stuck and my movements would be subconsciously performed according to the routine movements I knew.
And Lin Qin passed it in one try, with incredible success.
Wei Lan couldn't help but cast some admiring glances.
Lin Qin smiled slightly, reached out and pushed the empty bowls on the table to make enough space, and took the fruit basket with apples in it to the table in front of him.
He took a leisurely bite.
In response, Wei Lan just took a glance and then looked away.
Seeing Zhang Xue and Nan Wei still struggling with their fingers, he couldn't help but say, "It's okay, don't worry, you can learn it right away, and practice slowly later."
"Next, let's learn how to use gestures to communicate, which are common gesture commands."
"For example, you, me, and him. How should we express it with gestures?"
Zhang Xue raised her hand again, "I know this."
"You, why don't I just point my finger at you?"
"As for me, I point my finger at myself."
Wei Lan nodded, "That's right, that's true. For common questions like who you want to tell, who is going to do what with whom, just like Xiaoxue said, point your index finger at that person. If it's yourself, then just point at your own chest."
"Like, you, you, and you."
Wei Lan pointed at Nan Wei, Zhang Xue, and Lin Qin in turn.
Finally, he pointed at himself.
"That's what I mean."
"Adults, adults, hold our arms out, hands raised, palms down."
"We can actually see this action in our daily lives. For example, when we describe a person's height, we use both language and action to describe him."
"Have you ever seen a child this tall?"
Wei Lan said this while demonstrating his movements.
Zhang Xue and others immediately understood what Wei Lan wanted to express.
They all started doing it.
Wei Lan nodded and continued, "But there is a misunderstanding about this action. When you are looking for a child, the height of the gesture is usually not too high. It is at a right angle to your body at your waist. This action refers to children."
"That is, the height for adults is around the shoulders, while for children it is around the waist."
“We must distinguish between the two.”
"Also, regarding the representation of animals, this is especially important. After all, there are many mutants out there that are dogs. Of course, there are other states as well. As long as they are animals, they can be represented this way."
"You all know the Nine Yin Bone Claw, right? The palm of your hand should be facing upwards, hanging down to your waist."
"It's simple and easy to understand. Do you understand?"
"Next, it's really about the hand gestures we use to communicate during combat."
"First, be quiet. Put your index finger to your lips. Everyone knows this."
"Second, pay attention. Use your fist to gently hit your temple."
"Third, the scout's palm sweeps in the direction of the target."
"The fourth one is direction. Chop twice with your palm vertically in the indicated direction."
"Fifth one, come here and bend your index finger inward."
"The sixth one is to walk slowly, with your palms facing the ground, and do a wave-like movement."
"Seventh one, cover me and tap the top of your head lightly with your palm."
"Eighth, gather. Make a fist, raise it above your head, with your index finger raised, and move in a circle."
"Ninth, go ahead. You all know how to raise your hands in class, right? It's pretty much the same idea. We raise our arm and place it across our chest, and raise our other hand, forming an L shape overall, with our fingers clasped together, moving back and forth."
"Like me, understand?"
As Wei Lan spoke, he also performed standard movements for everyone to see.
Lin Qin raised an eyebrow, finding it very interesting.
I watched the military film not in vain, some of the actions were surprisingly familiar.
It seems that the actions in military movies are really not deceiving me.
"Number ten, got it. OK."
"Eleventh, stop. Extend your arms with your palms facing your teammates."
"The twelfth..."
"Okay, next, the question is about the formation change instructions."
"One-way column. Raise your arms, palms vertical, and shake them back and forth. Note that this movement must be distinguished from the 'up' movement. We only need to do this movement with one arm, similar to the chopping movement."
"Horizontal column. Make fists and raise them to your chest. Watch me demonstrate this movement."
"Double vertical formation. Based on the horizontal column, raise your hands above your head, make a fist, extend your index and middle fingers, and swing them back and forth."
"V formation. Extend our arms, angle them to the body, and swing them to the back."
"These are our most commonly used combat gestures, common phrases with a high usage rate, and communication in silence."
"Of course, this is not the only part of the complete combat hand gesture language."
"We'll take our time with the rest. I think these are enough for you to remember for a while. But if you want to be proficient in using them in our current scenario, you can only use these gestures frequently in the next period of time to communicate and enhance our memory and muscle memory."
"Also, regarding today's events, Lin Qin has something to say to everyone."
As he spoke, Wei Lan looked at Lin Qin.
Lin Qin didn't keep the person in suspense and spoke directly.
"What happened today is a wake-up call. In the past, we just talked about it, but now we have to regulate it."
