Chapter 493 493 Digital Teaching (1)
"You said you'd give me this scarf?" Xia Tian smiled and handed over the scarf she had knitted. "Okay, then. In exchange, I'll give you mine. I haven't knitted like this in a long time, so please excuse any minor imperfections."
"No." Si Ye's lips curled up and he held the scarf knitted by the girl carefully. "I won't mind."
"Haha, we've been roommates for so long, but this is the first time we've exchanged gifts, right?" Xia Tian stood up, stretched her shoulders and neck, and said with a sigh, "In my hometown, the first snow of the year is a very memorable day. Families will gather together to eat and chat, and friends will also exchange gifts."
"Within a year?" Si Ye didn't quite understand some of the words in her words. "What do you mean by 'a year'?"
He felt like he knew what it meant, but he couldn't give a definite answer.
"A year..." Xia Tian turned around, as if she had thought of something, and said, "Oh, by the way, how do you record the time you spend each day in Dongfang City?"
In the original owner's memory, the Jintong tribe's method of counting time was to record events by tying knots in ropes or carving marks on special stone pillars.
Moreover, the counting rules seem to only go up to ten, and there is no way to record more complex calculations above that.
Dongfang City is the largest beast city in the entire Eastern Wilderness. I wonder if there is any more advanced counting method.
Even... has a special calendar evolved?
"There are some in Dongfang City, but they are managed solely by witch doctors. I saw them when I was a child. They all had a very thick booklet with some relevant information recorded on it." Si Ye replied while recalling, "But that was a long time ago, and it was something only witch doctors could access. No one else could."
He paused, "Could it be that your tribe has some special counting method?"
"Of course." Xia Tian relaxed her whole body, returned to the earthen kang, tilted her head and asked with her teeth bared, "You want to learn? I'll teach you?"
The girl's eyes are clear and dark, as if there are thousands of stars hidden in them, making people unforgettable at first sight.
Si Ye was stunned by what he saw. He turned his head awkwardly, coughed twice to cover up, and then nodded and said, "Okay..."
[Why does the old driver have an inexplicable nature like a young wife? ? ? ]
[Did I see it wrong? Why did it feel like Xia Xia was teasing Lao Si just now...Haha!]
[I think the trending search on Star Online needs to be changed: Is there anything Xia Xia can't do? ]
[This is ridiculous. How can Xia Xia know everything...]
"Ah, if you want to learn, this thing is very simple. You will definitely be able to master it in no time." Xia Tian said with a relaxed expression, "Actually, it is a human-made thing. It defines rules based on what we see, and ultimately makes our lives more convenient."
She found a clean stone slab and placed it on the small table on the earthen kang. She placed a bowl of water next to it, dipped her fingers in the water, and began to "draw talismans" on the stone slab.
Of course, she was not really drawing talismans, but in Si Ye's eyes, her actions and the final "drawing" were like the talismans in witchcraft.
