Survive in the beast world

Chapter 28 Performance Rewards

After eating and drinking enough, and tidying up as usual, the white tiger rested leisurely on his bamboo bed with his eyes closed, enjoying the cool breeze, gently shaking his ears and flicking his tail leisurely, even his beard was beautiful. He shivered slightly, took a good nap after eating delicious snacks, oh~ so happy~ Li Shizhen sat cross-legged on his own bed next to him barefoot, with his hands on his knees, hesitating for a while before saying: " Hey, how about I teach you my mother tongue?"

After speaking, he suddenly lost his mind. He didn't expect that in this cold and bloody primitive place, besides being able to write his mother tongue on paper, he would also be able to speak his mother tongue one day. He even prepared it when he was in the leopard tribe. Prepare to speak that original language for a lifetime.

A language is doomed to die if it cannot communicate.Just like a civilization, if there is no social inheritance, it is doomed to perish.He is the only human being here, and with whom does he communicate with other intelligent life groups that have their own language?

He stared at the pair of ice-blue eyes that didn't know when they opened and were looking back at him at the same time.For a moment, he didn't know whether the decision at this time was good or bad. He only vaguely felt that teaching him Li Shizhen's own language meant that one person and one tiger were no longer the relationship between meeting by chance and living together, and being able to go their own way after separation.However, in that distant and meager future, the impact of his decisions at this time on the fate of each other is currently at a loss for Li Shizhen.

However, Li Shizhen didn't notice it, it seems that he never doubted whether Baihu would be willing to learn such a complicated thing?Or in terms of its laziness, is learning really okay?Besides, such a complicated thing, can it learn?

He is a person who will work hard once he sets a goal. It is useless for him to consider the above problems, and he will always find a way to solve them.And this kind of learning is two-way, just like language communication is two-way. Of course, his purpose is not to let tigers learn to read, write, and speak.

He just hopes that he and Baihu can have more means of communication. A ready-made and mature language is of course the only choice. Even if it is necessary to modify the context between him and Baihu, such a language will provide Many conveniences.

While teaching, he hopes to see the way Baihu expresses different things, learn how to understand it, and respond in his own human way so that he can understand it.In this way, a new way of communication can be established in general.

Well, that's right, it's the way chickens and ducks communicate.After all, white tigers can't speak human words, and Li Shizhen can't imitate the tiger's roar that vibrates all over the world. Tigers don't necessarily have that vocal organ, and humans don't necessarily have that lung capacity. enough.

In the afternoon, the banyan trees are lush and lush, and the surrounding bamboo forest is also cool and elegant. A young man in a vest and shorts is sitting cross-legged in a dignified posture, with a calm expression. Utensils, what a pair of forest pottery.However, getting closer to listen to the content of the conversation——

The young man stretched out five fingers calmly: "This is five." Clearly drew a mouth shape of five again, and then drew four vertical and one horizontal on the ground.

Then take back three fingers one by one, and count: "One, two, three, I take back three," and then point to the remaining two fingers: "Look, there are only two left."

He withdrew his sum and asked, "So, what is five minus three?"

Then draw one vertical line, two vertical lines, and three vertical lines on the sand on the side to represent the three Arabic numerals "1, 2, and 3" respectively.The white tiger looked at him with a tangled face, scratching the ground uneasily with its paws, and flicking its tail back and forth on the ground rapidly. The tiger's face was wrinkled seriously, with a look of "I don't know what you're talking about".

Li Shi is a black thread, don't think that I don't know that you know because you are acting stupid.

Then Li Shizhen changed his method calmly and took the bamboo bowl next to it. There were five venison balls the size of ping-pong balls in it. Before connecting, add crushed nuts and fragrant leaves, knead them carefully, deep-fry them in deer oil until golden yellow, smell fragrant, chew with Q and firmness, the mouthful of venison is delicious and delicious The crispness of the nuts, the fragrance of the leaves, the aroma is not greasy, and the strength is long.

"If I eat three of the five balls, how many are left for you?" He stretched out his hand and gestured for a five, gestured for an eating gesture, gestured for a three, and finally pointed at the bamboo bowl.

The ice-blue eyes looked at Li Shizhen with watery eyes, and the half-bowl-shaped ears collapsed, so he almost complained directly, "You are always a bad person!" Then he stretched out his big white paws and pressed it next to "2" aggrievedly. A plum blossom.

Li Shizhen coughed, put the bamboo bowl in front of it silently, covered his face and turned away.

Then when he looked back, he was much calmer, but there were two suspicious blushes on his face.The white tiger is licking his mouth, oh, so little, oh, it's gone in a moment.It looked down at one of its own paws, secretly imprinted a plum blossom on the ground next to it, and counted with heartache, there were so many five, why did it eat it all at once when it was swollen.

Li Shizhen's calm voice reminded it seductively like the sound of nature: "This venison ball can still be available tomorrow."

The white tiger sat upright obediently, blinked his big blue eyes, snorted twice, and flicked his tail quickly, I must order it tomorrow!

Li Shizhen calmly drew a small deer-shaped animal on the ground, and wrote a big deer character.Deer are a common prey, at least he saw the marks on the trees later, the white tiger must be able to recognize them.

The white tiger stared down at the writing on the ground intently, its big white paws were also scratching and gesticulating on the ground, and its two round ears moved unconsciously, looking very serious.

Well, this is today's homework. Although this word is a bit complicated, but in terms of its memory, the word "pig" can be remembered properly. This should be no problem.Tomorrow, if you can recognize the venison balls mixed with a pile of fruits and vegetables, you will pass the test.

Li Shizhen didn't bother it, and started to pack up the things on the ground.

Facts have proved that teaching a tiger to read is much more troublesome than teaching a tiger to climb a tree, because Li Shizhen found that it is not enough to teach it elementary school Chinese, and he had to teach elementary school mathematics by the way, although when he was in elementary school, mathematics was indeed taught by a Chinese teacher .

After all, without mathematics, it would be impossible for the big cat to describe the number of prey, or transmit distance information on trees.

You must know that at the beginning, I wanted this extremely lazy big cat to sacrifice sleep time to study. Li Shizhen was too busy, scratching his chin or something probably because the drug resistance has completely failed, and the big cat especially hates sleeping after eating. Time to study, but the heavens and the earth, there are three meals a day, and big cats have to sleep for four hours at a time.

Hehe, as for the middle of the night, the big cat was indeed very energetic, and went to plague the herbivores in the forest alive and kicking.And this is the legal sleep time for the two-legged beast Li Shizhen. Now that the sky is not falling and the ground is sinking, he is not crazy enough to stay up all night to teach a tiger to learn Chinese.

However, the facts once again proved that human creativity is unlimited. Li Shizhen originally wanted to use three meals a day as a threat, but considering the unequal force value of the two parties, the other party seemed to be opposed to this behavior of quantitative feeding on a regular basis. Extremely persistent, the risk of driving a big cute cat into a runaway tiger is too high.

Li Shizhen decided to adopt the positive motivation principle in modern performance management, and used countless delicacies as bait. If you study well, you will be rewarded with delicious food.At the same time, Li Shizhen firmly implements the principle of applying what he has learned. The number of menus and dishes must be learned one by one by Baihu. partial condition.

It seems that he also understands Li Shizhen’s purpose, but the big white tiger still feels both pain and happiness. Apart from dinner, Li Shizhen trains, gathers, and hunts with the white tiger as usual in the morning, and the principle of cooking food is afternoon tea time. If the big cat If you can recognize the words that appeared on the menu yesterday, you will be rewarded for doing it again.

In addition, he will cook a new delicacy. If the count is correct, he can happily eat a delicacy that he has never eaten before. What is the taste of the little things you eat?If sometimes it can recognize the delicacies that have appeared in the menu and point them out, woo, that day will be so happy that it will be bubbling.

The endless delicacies make the big cat very happy, but the endless horizontal, vertical and vertical lines also make the big cat very entangled. It has not been so hard in its beautiful life for a long time. Now it sees The names of different dishes composed of horizontal, horizontal and vertical combinations popped up in the minds of different prey.

For Li Shizhen, there are so many delicious foods, but he actually just arranged and combined the rich food flavors in the jungle and various Chinese methods of frying, frying, stewing, and stewing. Of course, most of them are mixed with meat and vegetables, and some are mixed. The attempt may not be so successful, but the big cats seem to be very good at accepting novel flavors.

Moreover, with the deepening of the menu learning method, Li Shizhen found that when he was collecting, Baihu was also more and more able to actively put forward opinions, which things he wanted to eat, which things he recommended, which things were non-toxic but not harmful. The taste is strange, you can try it, and it can be commented on one by one, which really makes Li Shizhen look sideways. Of course, these things have finally become all kinds of delicacies enjoyed by Baihu, which is also the ultimate beneficiary.

And its obsession with the little pig really made Li Shizhen amazed, as long as there is a pig character on the menu, it will be recognized properly.Then the next morning, Li Shizhen would find a piglet with a severed cervical spine at the door of the bamboo house.

As for how long it took for the big cat to come back after going out in the middle of the night, Li Shizhen could vaguely feel it but was not awakened at all, but the agility and lightness of the feline really surprised him. It can be said that lurking is indeed what cats are good at.

But even under the temptation of delicious food, this big cat can persist for so long, and Li Shizhen secretly marveled at its intelligence and perseverance.Even if it is a modern human being, if it is an unfamiliar language, I am afraid that it will not be better than it. He clearly knows that the reason for this difficulty is that they have not learned the most important thing in the language, the language. environment.Li Shizhen is the only person here who understands this language. Where can I find people who speak it in the streets and alleys, and put up its billboards overwhelmingly?

Now, Li Shizhen is very satisfied. If they could understand each other before, now they can communicate with each other. The white tiger has already used plum blossom marks and paw marks without a teacher, and the tone of the voice is imitated by animals. The cry told Li Shizhen the number of prey and its observation of the situation ahead, and it could better understand the various meanings to be expressed in Li Shizhen's language.

Of course, it is still very difficult to go further and describe abstract things, such as things that one of them has never seen before, but Li Shizhen is already satisfied with the big cat's progress.

So every six or seven days he will quietly let pork appear on the "menu".Li Shizhen couldn't help but smile when he saw the big cat swishing its tail proudly and imprinting plum blossoms on the little pig. The big cat is here, so let's ask for more blessings.

These nouns that correspond to real objects are better. Li Shizhen is at a loss for more abstract words that do not correspond to real objects. He can only continue to explore in practice. Recall what teachers do when he is learning foreign languages. with.

He suddenly thought of what was the first thing the foreign teacher asked him to do when he was in English class?It is self-introduction.Then he felt a bolt from the blue, until now, he and Tiger have known each other for so long, they don't seem to know what each other's name is...

Besides, the tiger can't tell its own name. If it comes from a group, it must be called by the group, just like the leopards. If it is alone, then——

"Your Chinese name is Bai." According to the habits of the other world, Li Shizhen gave it a single character.Anyway, whether it had a name or not, he had no way of knowing, but he had to find something to call it, and he couldn't keep calling it tiger, tiger.After all, he has started to learn the language, and he should treat it as a real equal object, just like he must not like others to call himself a human being.

Li Shizhen found a kind of fruit, wiped the white juice on the animal skin, pointed to the fur of the white tiger, and then pointed to the white part of the animal skin, and wrote the word "white": "This is your name, you It is special because it is white, and it is also powerful because it overcomes this innate specialness. In Chinese, white also has nothing, pure and nothing else. I hope you will always be as pure and powerful as you are today, without other things. You are called White."

"Bai, hello! I'm Li Shizhen, from China on Earth." Staring at those blue eyes who didn't know if he could understand what he meant, Li Shizhen finally said this sentence of self-introduction slowly, and then wrote the following words: The three words "Li Shizhen" were written down like a thousand pounds.

The author has something to say:

Li Shiyu: Dabai, everyone says that you eat and sleep every day, and you are so lazy, what do you think?

Dabai: QAQ Who is spreading rumors? !Obviously every night I go out very diligently to hunt and support my family!Moreover, I have to guard, pretend to be stupid, act cute, and sacrifice my image during the day. Is it easy for me? Aww~ Li Shizhen patted its head: Thank you for your hard work~

Dabai [Cengceng]: Meow~ Let them see how powerful the nest is~ tremble, mortals with fish lips~
