survival in the wilderness

Chapter 133 Learn to Swim

This action caused an uproar in Sun City.

When Ah Lan arrived with his people, Heitu was explaining the swimming essentials to the people in the military department, and ten people had been selected, and they voluntarily entered the water.

"Heitu, why do you suddenly want to learn to swim?" Alan asked hastily.This is in the water, it will kill people.

Heitu pulled Alan to the side and said in a low voice: "Lin Yan is building a boat and can walk in the water. You can ask her."

As soon as she heard that it was Lin Yan's idea, Ah Lan's face changed, and she warned, "Be careful, don't drown him. I'll go find Lin Yan."

"Don't worry, the water is not deep. If you stand up with your head exposed, you won't be drowned." Heitu personally tested the height. The deepest part is 1.8 meters, and the shallow water is only one meter deep.

Ah Lan was not relieved at all, and went to look for Lin Yan worriedly.

Right now, Lin Yan is writing and drawing in her notebook. She wants to make a small boat first, the simplest kind that can carry people in the water.

"Lin Yan, what are you thinking? Why do you want to learn to swim. The water is too scary. People will drown if they go in."

Lin Yan looked up at A Lan, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, listen to me."

Taking out the ship model, Lin Yan explained to Alan the future of water navigation.It is difficult to walk on land, but as long as a good boat can be built in water, it is a more convenient way.

Alan's worry slowly turned into longing, "Is it really so fast that you can travel thousands of miles a day and walk around the world along the river?"

"Sure. You think the river flows downhill, so where does so much water go. And people will live by the waters, just like our Sun Tribe, and you will find other humans along the river. Learn from their strengths , and sell our products. At that time, everyone knew about Sun City. If someone wanted to join, we would have more people and expand the territory of Sun City. Only in this way can we continue to grow and develop. More people are more powerful, What beasts are we afraid of?"

"Besides, there are many things in the outside world that we don't have. They are all what we need. Ships must be built, and people must learn to swim. Ah Lan, think about it carefully, isn't it like this?"

Lin Yan blinked her big eyes, trying to paint the blueprint in her heart more brilliantly, but she knew that those were false, and Alan's main concern was how to make the Sun Tribe better.

Alan was moved by the words, no matter what the future holds, just being able to walk on water is very attractive.

They have lived along the water for generations, but they are afraid of water.It would be a good thing if this could be changed.

A Lan said: "When will your boat be made? I see that Heitu and the others are struggling to learn swimming. I wonder if they can learn it."

"Let's make a small boat first. It won't take a few months. It will definitely be made this year. Has the black soil taught people how to swim?"

"Yeah, a group of people gathered there, but no one will."

Lin Yan said, "I'll try to get into the water first." She knew how to swim before, so she can teach them.

When they came to the swimming pool and saw the people splashing in the water, coughing and choking, the people around were even more confused.

Lin Yan walked up to Heitu, "Has no one learned it yet?"

"Not long after I went down, they were all thrashing around." The clothes on Heitu's body were all wet, and it was obvious that he had been in the water. "I went down and tried, and it was very difficult."

Lin Yan was wearing short-sleeved shorts, which were just right for getting into the water. She said, "I'll go down and try."

Looking at her height, Heitu hesitated and said: "You go there, the water is shallow, I will accompany you."

Lin Yan was noncommittal. Although she hadn't been in the water for many years, she felt that the problem was not serious.Seeing that Heitu is so worried, let him go.

The others noticed that Lin Yan had entered the water, and they all stared.

Someone worried: "She is so young, what if something happens when she goes down."

"Bah, bah, you can't think of the good. That's Lin Yan, she will definitely do it."

"That's right. I heard that swimming was proposed by Lin Yan. She seems to want to build a boat and take people who can swim out."

"Really? What is a boat? Has it been made yet?"

Mao Mu mingled with the crowd, listening to their chatter, couldn't help but said: "Don't talk nonsense. Lin Yan can definitely do what he wants to do, we just have to wait."

"It's Mogi, can you swim?"

Someone took the lead, and people circled Maomu to ask questions.

Mao Mu was at a loss for words when asked, he just insisted: "What Lin Yan wants to do must be right."

Seeing that Lin Yan had already entered the water, he anxiously squeezed to the edge of the pool and shouted, "Lin Yan, you have to be careful."

Lin Yan returned with a bright smile, kept Heitu away from him, and plunged into the water.

"Ah! She's sunk, get her up quickly." Someone shouted anxiously.

Alan stared nervously at the surface of the water, waited, and saw Lin Yan floated up and then sank again, so she suddenly became regular in her ups and downs several times.

A Lan let go of her heart, thinking that what Lin Yan said was true, she could swim.

In less than 10 minutes, the crowd gradually quieted down, their eyes following the people in the water.

I saw Lin Yan swimming from the shallow water area to the deep water area, and then back from the other end. She was like a fish in the water, smooth and easy, not as difficult as others.

Yes, it is difficult. People who first entered the water felt that way. They did not do anything right in the water. After drinking a lot of water, they were choked and uncomfortable, but they still couldn’t learn it.

Heitu watched Lin Yan's movements, rising and falling, taking breaths in a timely manner, gritted his teeth, and plunged into the water.

In less than a minute, he emerged from the water, his face turned black and red, and he felt that he was going to explode.

Someone saw Heitu's movements, pointed at him and laughed: "No way, Heitu can't even learn it. Only Lin Yan can be as free as a fish."

The crowd gradually started to discuss, and some people looked at Lin Yan's appearance, ready to move, and they all went into the water to try it for themselves.

More and more people were splashing around in the pool, and it didn't take long for someone to get the hang of it, learn to swim around in the water.Everyone else's eyes were red.

Since others can learn it, so can they. No one thinks that they are worse than others.

Seeing Heitu fail again and again, Lin Yan shook his head, "You have to get rid of the fear of water in your heart. Just like you told them, the water is not deep enough to drown you."

Heitu nodded seriously, trying to relax his body.He also discovered that when he got into the water, his whole body tensed up, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Watching more and more people learn, he was more nervous.

Seeing that someone had mastered the essentials and could teach others, Lin Yan got out of the water and planned to go back to the laboratory.

There are men and women who enter the water. Generally speaking, women are bolder and learn faster.

Alan walked to Lin Yan's side, "Let's walk together."

"Okay." Lin Yan smiled and nodded.

The two chatted while walking, and seeing that they were about to reach the government office, Alan said: "You are right, Sun City will rely on you to lead in the future. Just let me know if you have any ideas."

Lin Yan nodded, "Okay. Let's finish this year's work first, and the wheat in the field is the top priority."

Needless to say, Ah Lan knew that it was the most important thing.
