survival in the wilderness

The Lianhua tribe immediately became lively because of Lin Yan's arrival.

In fact, the two boats were discovered as soon as they appeared, and soon Huayu brought people to greet them.

"Lin Yan, you have been away for too long. We have been waiting for you to come back. The children in the tribe miss you the most and always ask when you will come back."

"Haha, I miss the children too." Lin Yan smiled and gave Hua Yu a big hug, "It's cold, let's go back and talk about it."

The group of people returned to the courtyard where Lin Yan and the others lived last year with smiles on their faces.

Huayu laughed and said, "I've been sending people to clean this yard, don't worry, just tell me what's missing, and I'll prepare it for you."

"You are so careful. We don't know when we will be able to come. You often send someone to clean it. It's really hard work."

"What's the trouble, let them settle down first, you go home with me, and talk while eating, okay?"

Lin Yan responded with a smile, "Okay, I'm just hungry, so I'm extremely happy to have a meal."

The two chatted while walking, and when they arrived at Huayu's house, Lin Yan had already inquired about the general situation of the Lotus Tribe this year.

When there are no emergencies, the tribe works day after day, repeating day after day, and few people think of changing.

In the hearts of tribal people, there is no idea of ​​innovation and change.This is the most terrifying thing. If there is no one to guide, such a tribe may still be like this after thousands of years.

A closed environment with limited manpower is the status quo of the natives of the wasteland.

Huayu didn't think so, she said: "Since you taught reading and literacy last year, the children have all kinds of ideas and too many questions, and most of us don't know how to answer them. Will you still teach them in this winter season?" ?”

This is what Huayu is most concerned about. She is an old lady with a unique vision. Regardless of the opposition of some old-fashioned people, she insists on changing. She thinks that people like Lin Yan are capable people.

The Lotus Tribe needs capable people to change the status quo so that the tribe can eat well, dress well, and live a better life.

Lin Yan thought for a while and said: "In the cold season, our people are fine, if you want to learn, we will teach."

"Of course we want to learn. Let's do what we did last year. I will arrange it. You just need to come." Hua Yu was afraid that Lin Yan would regret it. study."

"Okay, I'm very happy that you can come." Lin Yan looked at the old lady with admiration. It's amazing that she is still in her 40s and still has this motivation to seek knowledge.

The meals at Huayu's family are very simple, porridge cooked with lotus seeds, served with a plate of fish and a plate of wild vegetables.

Wild vegetables are dried and stored, specially reserved for the cold season.

To Lin Yan, this kind of food is extremely poor, but in the Lotus Tribe, they are considered to be well-fed.

Most people can eat a bowl of lotus seed porridge, but you can’t put too much lotus seeds in the porridge. You have to plan carefully to survive the whole cold season.

Huaye asked involuntarily while eating: "Lin Yan, what do you eat in Sun City? How many dishes are there in a meal, can you be full?"

Those who were eating subconsciously slowed down and raised their ears, which was what everyone cared about.

Lin Yan paused for a moment while holding the vegetables, and then he continued naturally: "In Sun City, there are many things to eat, and you can eat with your stomach open, so you don't have to worry about starvation. As for the number of dishes for a meal, it depends on the financial situation of each household. The situation is that people who are rich eat well, and people who have no money eat poorly. But even people who have no money can afford steamed buns and noodles, and they won’t go hungry. In a word, in Sun City, as long as people Don’t be lazy, be diligent and willing to work, and you will be able to live a good life.”

Hualuo asked curiously: "Is there really such a place? You can eat as much as you want, how happy it is."

"You are young, you still know this?"

Lin Yan smiled, but felt very sad in his heart. This is what most children in the wasteland look like.From birth, we have to face a life of poverty and lack of material, and our greatest wish is to have enough to eat.

Hualuo nodded her head, "Of course I know. Even though I'm still young, I can already work. I know that if you want to have food, you have to work hard."

"Hurry up and eat." Huayu picked up a small piece of fish for him, then turned to look at Lin Yan, "How did you feed so many people?"

"You have seen flour, it looks like wheat is ground into flour. The Sun Alliance opened up wasteland and farmed land, and planted a lot of wheat, as well as rye, corn, etc., which are all edible. The more you plant, the more you harvest, and naturally feed so many people."

Huayu looked at Lin Yan expectantly, "Can we grow it too?"

Lin Yan nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course. I've seen the surrounding area of ​​the tribe. The terrain is flat. If we can open up wasteland and have seeds, we can naturally cultivate the land."

"It's too difficult to open up wasteland. It's hard to clear those trees and wild forests. It takes a lot of work, and it can't be done well. There are more weeds growing in the field." Hua Yumen is clear, and there are people around the tribe who open up wasteland and grow vegetables, but they are very few .

It is very difficult to open up wasteland without good tools and only relying on manpower.

Lin Yan is also aware of the current situation of the Lotus Tribe. She said: "Don't worry, I mentioned to you last time that Sun City has been developing wasteland for many years, has a lot of experience, and has all kinds of tools. You can learn from it."

Huayu's mind continued to fluctuate after eating a meal, which strengthened her determination to go to Sun City.

In the cold season of this year, Lin Yan couldn't copy books, so he often went to class when he had time.

She selected fifteen children, ranging in age from five to ten years old, and taught them individually, starting from the basics, and painted a strong stroke on the young hearts of the children.

In addition to teaching knowledge, Lin Yan also taught the cultivation methods of the mysterious practitioners. Whether they can succeed or not depends entirely on the good fortune of these children.

At this time, they don't know what the teaching of just three months means to their lives.But after ten years, they will understand that the turning point of life change is in this cold season, and even the whole lotus tribe will benefit from it.

When they were ignorant, they were favored and benefited a lot.

Three months passed in a flash, and the 18th year of the Sun Era came to an end.

When the weather warmed up and the glaciers thawed, Huayu and her two clansmen Huashu and Lianyu followed Lin Yan to Sun City.

Standing at the bow of the boat, feeling the smooth running of the boat and the scenery on both sides of the strait, Huayu and the three were very excited.

They have long wanted to experience it on a boat, but have never had the chance.Now, it's finally here.

After actually getting on the boat, I realized that it was better than looking at it. Who wouldn't want to own such a boat.

If the Lotus Tribe also has them, you can go wherever you want.

Lin Yan heard their conversation, and interjected, "It's not enough to have a boat, and walking on water is also dangerous, and there is still a lot to learn. We dare to walk outside, not only rely on boats, but also rely more on people."

The three of them looked at Lin Yan puzzled, not quite understanding what she meant.

Huo Mai explained with a smile: "Going out requires brains, we all listen to Lin Yan, we do what she says, and avoid many dangers."

She explained to Huayu and the others in detail the things to pay attention to when sailing. (end of this chapter)
