In the end, Ye Xi divided the year into thirteen months, and each month has its own length according to the phase of the moon. Based on this calculation, today is July 10th.

The month and day are there, but the year is still missing.

In terms of dating, Ye Xi decided to take the founding of Xicheng as the first year, so now it is the ninth year of AD...

Listening to Lu Er looking at the densely packed square characters and earthworm characters on the ground, the curiosity in his heart became more and more serious. Seeing that Ye Xi had finished drawing on the ground, he couldn't help asking, "What is this?"

Ye Xi: "This is the calendar."

"Calendar?"

All the Howls were at a loss.

Ye Xi said to Ting Lu's ear, "The calendar is not very useful, it's just convenient for recording things. For example, today is July 10th."

He clicked on the July painted on the ground with his bone stick, and then followed to find Ten.

"The first time we met was five days ago, that is, on July 5th." Ye Xi's bone stick continued to draw the number five along the left side.

While the others were still in a daze, Jiao Di's eyes lit up.

He is a person who likes to use bone fragments to record his daily life when he has nothing to do, but he always doesn't know how to record the specific date, so every time he only writes a certain day in summer heat, a certain day in winter snow, and some days without characteristics, he doesn't know how to record them . But looking at the huge calendar that had just been released under his feet, he seemed to be enlightened, and he understood it all at once.

Seeing the people around looking down at the calendar getting closer and closer, the horns yelled, "Don't step on it!!"

"Don't step on it!"

"Let's go!"

He drove people and howlers away one by one like ducks.

Because this was the entrance of the Jiaodi Stone House, which was considered Jiaodi's territory, the Howls only complained a few words, and finally took a few steps back.

After everyone was a few steps away from the calendar on the ground to make sure they wouldn't be trampled on, he bowed deeply to Ye Xi and said in a pleading voice, "Master Yuan Wu...can you teach me how to read the calendar?" ?”

Ye Xi "Yes."

Jiao Da did not expect Ye Xi to be so straightforward, so he saluted again excitedly,

Sincerely said, "Thank you Yuan Wu!"

Ye Xi nodded, and said to Ting Luer and the other Howls, "If you want to learn, you can listen to it together."

The calendar is not a strategic weapon. Even if Xicheng and the clan fight in the future, this calendar will not help the clan to kill more Xicheng people. Now you might as well use it to win the favor of the clan members. At least it will be easy to inquire about things. point.

"Thank you, Master Yuanwu!"

"Thank you, Master Yuanwu!"

Hearing that Lu Er and other Howls were overjoyed.

Although they are not as keen on recording events on bone tablets every day as Jiaodi, but out of awe of words and knowledge, they also have a strong curiosity about this calendar and want to learn it.

Ye Xi used the bone stick as a pointer, and began to teach numbers.

Clans can write numbers, but their numbers are very troublesome. One is one vertical line, two is two vertical lines, three is three vertical lines, four is four vertical lines, and so on. How can such numbers have Arabic numerals? Come conveniently...

...

On the roof of a stone house thousands of meters away.

The head of the Howl clan and the Yuanwu of the Howl clan stood side by side, and they watched the picture of Ye Xi teaching the Howl clan calendar and numbers together.

When Ye Xi leaned on the bone stick to silence everyone, there was a strong wave of witch power, which startled the two of them. They didn't want to deal with Ye Xi, so they stood in the distance and watched them silently.

Watching Ye Xi lay out the calendar on the ground, watching Ye Xi teach all the Howlers the calendar and numbers in a good temper, and finally watching Ye Xi patiently re-carve the calendar on the corner of the stone house wall.

"If all the tribesmen are like this, it's worth it."

The howling clan leader said softly.

"yes……"

After a long time, Yuanwu Howl sighed.

In the crowd, Ting Lu Er raised his head to look at them as if he heard it, and saluted them with a smile. Then he handed the big snow-white bone to Ye Xi, "We have learned the calendar, it's time to engrave your coming to our clan!"

Ye Xi took the bone piece with a smile.

Jiao Da graciously moved a rock stool over, wiped it with animal skin, and asked Ye Xi to sit down. The indifferent and silent attitude when we first met disappeared without a trace.

Ye Xi thanked Jiao, held the knife, lowered his head and began to write on the bone.

"In the ninth year of AD, Ye Xi, the Yuan Wu of Xicheng, strayed into the sea of ​​fierce beasts. Seeing a forest fire, he wanted to use the rain witch spell to extinguish it..."

Ye Xi wrote a total of more than 300 characters eloquently.

Whether it was the matter of Ting's people and the giant white-haired kangaroo repelling the ferocious beasts to save him, or the fact that the head of the Cang clan asked him for rain, the process was clearly recorded.

There are not many characters available to the clan, and some even use pictures to replace them. The Howls and Ting Luer were all amazed and held their breaths when they saw so many beautiful and neat characters at once.

"All right."

Ye Xi handed the carved bone fragment to Ting Luer.

Ting Luer took it with both hands, carefully blew off the ashes on the bone, and then dusted it with his hands, rubbing the square characters one by one with his rough fingers.

Ye Xi got up and said casually, "If you want to write something, do you write it on the bone?"

After all, it is troublesome to carve with a knife, but it is more convenient to write on animal skin or vegetable paper with a pen.

Lu Er hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, we can also make animal skin rolls here, but the animal skins are easy to rot and are easily eaten by insects. Many ancestors' animal skin rolls can't be seen, which is a pity."

Ye Xi suddenly realized that he had forgotten this.

By the way, the useful and precious knowledge of Xicheng should also be preserved with bone fragments. Although vegetable paper and parchment scrolls are convenient for writing, they cannot withstand the erosion of long time after all, and bone fragments are the most reliable.

Ten thousand years later, if Xicheng is gone and the tribe disappears, those unearthed bone fragments might be oracle bone inscriptions that make countless experts bald. It's quite interesting to think about it.

Ye Xi nodded, looking to the south through the stone houses of the Howl clan, "Which clan's territory is beyond?"

"It's the Beaver family."

"How about going further?"

"It's the Xiling family."

Ye Xi's eyes sank.

The Xiling clan, the Xiling clan who had hunted down the Xia tribe and forced the Xia tribe to hide.

Ye Xi "Can I visit these two clans?"

Lu Er hesitated and said, "Yes, yes...but there is nothing to see over there, it's similar to here, you won't be interested."

These two clans hated and hated the tribal people even more than the Howl clan. Before the clan had completely evacuated from the east, the Li clan and the Xiling clan were the most cruel to the tribal people. Soldiers who cannot dig cores at the second level should also be killed.

Moreover, I heard that the owner of the raccoon clan and several raccoon clan witches also hate the tribesmen, and their tempers are very hot. If they go to their territory, Ye Xi is likely to be besieged, which is too dangerous.
