Ch166.2 – Extra: Educating The People

Zhou Ji was very much in favor of letting the people in the tribe learn more. He also started thinking about how to teach these people how to read.

It wasn’t easy to learn words one by one, but if they could make up some stories or nursery rhymes, they would learn much faster… Hadn’t the first-grade children’s textbooks back on earth been all filled with nursery rhymes?

A few days later, Zhou Ji found a piece of wood and engraved on it. “Spring is coming, grass is green, flowers are blooming, and dinosaurs lay eggs.”

And then by the second day, the priests of the Beast God Temple had already memorized it. “Spring is coming, grass is green, flowers are blooming, and dinosaurs lay eggs.”

They recited it several times, and then the people of the Big Bear Tribe also started to repeat it.

For a while, everyone was chanting ‘spring is coming’ everywhere.

They had Beast Kings going out hunting and bringing back big fellows every day. Although the people of the Big Bear Tribe were busy with construction over the past few days, they didn’t have to worry about going hungry. Even the captives from the Mountain Wolf Tribe had enough to eat every day.

If they wanted people to work hard, they couldn’t let them go hungry.

Therefore, although the people of the Mountain Wolf Tribe didn’t live good lives, it wasn’t that bad. Additionally, even Beast Kings had to work in this place… The Mountain Wolf Tribe gradually calmed down and even got used to the smell of dinosaur dung.

Now, Lang Sha had already reached the point where he could use the hand that had picked up dinosaur dung to wipe away his sweat…

However, when he heard the people of the Big Bear Tribe chanting, he couldn’t help but say, “Are the people of this Big Bear Tribe fools? Why are they repeating this sentence over and over?! What dinosaurs lay eggs, dinosaurs clearly just shit!” Those damn dinosaurs, how could they poop so much!

The others of the Mountain Wolf Tribe all nodded somberly.

However, even if they felt that the people of the Big Bear Tribe were a bit silly, they still needed to work.

This was a sad but real fact.

The priests of the Beast God Temple were full of enthusiasm for learning. They learned from Zhou Ji and carved characters on wood or bamboo pieces in order to deepen their memory.

Another person who also loved learning was the priest of the Big Bear Tribe.

Because a lot of priests from the Beast God Temple had suddenly come to the tribe, Xiong He, who finally no longer needed to learn how to become a priest, was put to work by the priest once again–the priest had him engrave all of the words from the Beast God onto the stone walls of his cave.

Xiong He: “……” He had to learn the words first before carving it into the walls. He had to learn again for no reason!

The entire tribe was thriving.

The priests of the Beast God Temple were busy both acting as overseers and learning new words. Not only were they all incredibly busy, they also ran around outside all day and slowly became tanned and strong.

They were very sad about this.

They wanted to look more like the Beast God, but it was obvious that they now no longer looked like the Beast God at all.

They could only comfort themselves with the fact that the Beast God should like them like this. After all, the Beast God’s mate was very strong and well built…

In the blink of an eye, summer was over, and autumn was on its way.

The people of the Big Bear Tribe recited many nursery rhymes, and the priests of the Beast God Temple also learned a lot of words.

At this time, Zhou Ji used cotton to make towels, clothing, pants, quilts, and so on in order to make his and Xiong Ye’s residence more beautiful. He also managed to make paper out of plant fiber.

Zhou Ji had always wanted to make paper.

Not only would it become more convenient for the people in the tribe to learn how to read if they had paper, they would also no longer need to use leaves to wipe their butts when they went to the toilet!

So, he broke down a lot of plants and experimented with them to try and make paper.

At first, he had failed constantly. However, after many failures, he was finally able to make a piece of paper with uneven thickness.

His paper making had become a success.

Zhou Ji summed up the method in simple terms, then had Xiong Ye find people to start making paper–if the paper that was made was good, it could be used for writing. If it was bad, then it could be used as toilet paper. Perfect!

Xiong Ye: “……” The idea was perfect, but they were short on people!

If only some more people could fall from the sky!

While Xiong Ye was hoping for more people, the tribal chief of the Mountain Wolf Tribe, Xi Shi, had been driven out of the tribe by his mate.

Xi Shi’s mate said that since Xi Shi could drive her son away, then she could also drive Xi Shi away!

The tribal chief who’d been driven out of the tribe sighed at the gate to the tribe and then spoke to the people around him. “Women can’t be indulged. Once they become used to it, they’ll dare to climb over a man’s head!

“Indeed!” Xi Shi’s subordinates said, “In that case, tribal chief, should we go back?” Based on their tribal chief’s strength, there was no need to be afraid of his mate at all.

“Forget it. I don’t want to argue with the likes of her!” Xi Shi said. “Let’s hurry up and find that dark fatty.”

Xi Shi’s subordinates: “… Alright.”

Xi Shi continued, “Say, will that dark fatty have encountered any trouble? He doesn’t have any abilities and is lazy and timid. I thought that he’d only dare to wander around near the tribe, and planned to take him out to see the world myself when he came back to beg for mercy… Yet as a result, he’s gone so far that we haven’t received any news!”

Xi Shi’s subordinates: “The young chief took a lot of people with him. They should be fine!”
