survival in the wilderness

Before the cold season came, every household in the Lianhua Tribe set up an earth kang and stocked up delicious food for use. When the temperature dropped sharply, they stayed in the house and did not go out.

Lin Yan was wearing a thick cotton padded jacket, wrapped in a leather jacket, and braved the cold wind to Huayu's house.

The whole family was nestled on the kang, peeling lotus seeds, Lin Yan said with a smile: "It's too cold, you don't go out, I'll come over."

Huayu looked Lin Yan up and down, "What clothes are you wearing?"

"Cotton coat, it's thick, put on a leather coat, it's warm." Lin Yan showed off his clothes generously.

Look at Huayu and the others, they are all wrapped in leather, and the kang is covered with straw mats and covered with animal skins.

The Lotus Tribe does not have cloth, so they cannot make underwear and quilts.The leather is far less soft and comfortable than the Union's.

That's why he was very envious of the cloth that Lin Yan brought.

The whole family touched Lin Yan's clothes curiously, the envy in their eyes could not be restrained.

Huaye: "Lin Yan, can you sell me your cloth?" She wanted a cloth, which must be very comfortable to wear next to her body.

Everyone in the room looked at him, Lin Yan smiled and said, "The cloth we brought is limited, I can give you one."

Huaye was very happy, "Give it to us, you and I will go get it."

"Huaye, wait a minute." Huayu's thoughts turned quickly, and she looked at Lin Yan, "What can I exchange? I have lotus tea, lotus seeds, lotus roots, and frozen fish and shrimp at home. What do you want?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "I don't want these."

Huayu frowned, is there another request?

At that time, he promised Lin Yan and the others to stay, and asked for three bags of flour and five catties of salt.

Looking at the good things in that boat, no one wants it.Huayu strictly restrains the clansmen, and cannot change their minds.

From Huayu's point of view, Lin Yan and the others had everything they needed, and they were living a good life, but they couldn't figure out what they needed, and they would exchange it with cloth.

Lin Yan hurriedly said: "Huayu, don't worry. That's right. We are also free in the cold season, and we can teach the tribe people how to read. This is our calendar, and we can judge the arrival time of the cold season based on this..."

The Huayu family listened to Lin Yan's babbling talk, touched the paper of the calendar, and read the numbers on the calendar lamely, which was taught by Lin Yangang.

Huayu's youngest son, Hualuo, is only five or six years old, but he is the fastest learner. He looked at Lin Yan with bright eyes, "I want to learn."

"Okay, I'll let someone teach you." Lin Yan patted Hualuo's head, then turned to look at Huayu: "The yard we live in is too small, can you talk to the people in the tribe to free up some rooms , just let those who are willing to learn go.”

Huayu is excited, she has realized the magical effect of numbers and words.Just now Lin Yan taught his family to write their names and count lotus seeds.

For this reason, the clansmen are willing to learn.Everyone has nothing to do in the cold season, so if you can learn these things, you can just pass the time.

When Lin Yan returned to the courtyard, Huo Mai asked, "How about it, did Hua Yu agree?"

"Huayu agreed. You and Fengda can arrange to send all of us out to teach people how to read, and bring out the enlightenment textbooks."

Huo Mai happily replied loudly: "Okay, I'll do it right away."

Every time he comes out, the enlightenment textbook is a must. Lin Yan is always ready to educate people in the wasteland.

Cultural identity is a slow process, and she never wants to let go of any opportunity.

In the dissemination and use of knowledge, everyone will be compatriots in the future and should have a greater sense of identity.

Three months passed quickly, Lin Yan went out to teach occasionally, and the rest of the time was busy copying books.

It may be that she was too efficient and consumed all the paper she brought.When Huo Mai said that there was not much paper left and that he should save it, Lin Yan was stunned.

I went to see it in person, and it was confirmed that it was true. There was not enough paper left for her to finish copying two books, and they didn't know how long they would stay outside, so they had to leave spare paper.

After struggling for a long time between going north and going south, Lin Yan still decided to continue going south.

It is a good time for the new year, and the Sun River flows into the Hua River. The terrain is flat and the water flow is large, so there is no obstacle to sailing.

It's a pity to return at this time.

People from the Lotus Tribe came out to see them off and watched the two ships disappear before their eyes.

Huaye enviously said: "When can we go to Sun City to have a look, if only there is a big ship like theirs."

Huayu also wanted to go, "When Lin Yan and the others come back, you follow."

Hualuo immediately said: "Aniang, I want to go too."

"Okay, okay, let's see who Lin Yan takes."

Huayu was looking forward to Lin Yan's return soon.She had heard about the Sun Alliance and decided to see it for herself. If it was as good as Lin Yan said, joining the alliance would benefit a lot.

The Lotus Tribe is too backward in every aspect. If they can get the assistance of the Sun Alliance, the fate of the tribe will be completely changed.

Lin Yan, who continued to explore south by boat, did not know that in December last year, there was another tombstone in the Cemetery of Heroes.

Ming Lan's body still couldn't hold on, and after a year of dragging, she had to close her eyes forever.

Fenghua's health is not good, and he is bedridden under the influence.

The two arbitrators of the alliance fell one after another, making the people in Sun City feel precarious.

The arbitrators are Sun City's Dinghaishenzhen. With them, everything will be fine.With the passing away of Baiyun and Minglan, Fenghua fell, leaving three vacancies all of a sudden.

Only Black Earth and Shuisheng are left, especially since they are both men, which makes many people feel uneasy.

Over the years, although equality between men and women has been advocated, more people still believe that women have a high status and cannot be overshadowed by men.

It's not that Shui Sheng doesn't understand the voices of the people, but now he is so busy that he comes to him for various things.

Heitu is also an arbiter, but he never intervenes in other matters. He only cares about the one-acre three-point land of the military headquarters, and never crosses the border.

In this turbulent time, it is even more necessary for a capable and qualified woman to stand up.

Huang Ying smiled wryly: "You think highly of me when you ask me to take on the big responsibility. It would be great if Lin Yan was here, she is the perfect candidate. It would be fine if Lanyue was here too, she is recognized as the strongest and fully qualified."

"It's not impossible." Shui Sheng said helplessly, "If I can, I can do it myself. We can't ignore public opinion. Fenghua can't manage the overall situation. Although Yemeng and Xiali have some supporters, they are among the younger generation. There is not enough support. Now, the demographic structure of Sun City and the entire league has decided that people aged 15 to 30 account for [-]% of the voting rights. They are all a generation influenced by new ideas. In order to appease the people, we need to make an exception Choose a young female arbitrator. After thinking about it, you, Hua Min and Hong Ling are the most suitable."

"So, you came to me first?"

"Yeah, you are a versatile person, and you have been trained over the years. I believe you are the most capable of handling the current situation."

"Thank you, you really think highly of me. The alliance is so big, it's not just about the courts and the Overwatch Council."

Shui Sheng pleaded: "Huang Ying, think about it carefully and give me an answer as soon as possible. I hope to hear good news."

Huang Ying nodded, turned and left. (end of this chapter)
