Writing is an essential tool for human beings to move from ignorance to civilization!
This is not just because there are words and there are ways to pass on experience.
It also means that having words will reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles and make many vague things clear again.
For example, the ancient method of tying knots to record events seems very convenient now.
Today, I caught a rabbit and tied a small knot to represent the rabbit. ??
Tomorrow, I caught a deer and tied a larger knot to represent the larger deer.
The day after tomorrow, if you hunt a bear, tie a bigger knot to represent a bigger bear!
But at the end of the month, when the tribe reconciles the accounts, they take out the rope and look at the large and small knots on it. Even the person responsible for recording will probably be confused on the spot.
You said, the knot at the beginning of the month, whether big or small, is it a fox? Or a roe deer?
How to divide this meat?
Also, what is this knot that is obviously larger than the others?
I don’t remember hunting an elephant this month?!
Moreover, this primitive way of remembering things can be used in one's own tribe. Even if it is wrong, at most some people will eat less than two bites of meat, and it will not cause bigger problems.
But in the winter when food is scarce, each tribe often needs to work together to catch prey. At this time, it would be great fun to use knotting to record events!
People pointed to a knot in the rope and said there was a deer that was not given to them!
And you, just say that it is a rabbit, didn't you even drink rabbit soup two days ago?
So, if someone who feels that your tribe is at a disadvantage punches you, you will be angry and slap him back!
As a result, the two tribes fought, and most of them died! But even so, they couldn't figure out the knot.

Who suffered the loss, the deer or the rabbit?
This shows how important it is to have a text that accurately records the event.
Since writing is so important, and my people are not intelligent enough to create it, stealing seems to be the only way!
Anyway, stick guys are used to being thieves.
Even after thousands of years, this problem has not been corrected? Instead, it has worsened and even cheated on it secretly?
After thinking about this in his mind, Xiao Han casually flipped through these account books and found that some of the names of the people in them seemed somewhat familiar!
Moreover, some accounts also record the whereabouts of the money, such as purchasing wrought iron, glue, etc. from the Li family!
Looking at the Li family that appeared very frequently in the accounts, Xiao Han keenly realized that this so-called Li family was probably the Li family in Shandong!
Thinking of this, Xiao Han's heart moved, and he immediately called Lunzi and asked him to find another box, pack all these account books, and prepare to take them back together, and slowly study to see if there are any records stored so solemnly.
What's the use?
After all this is done, the search in the yard is coming to an end.
The scattered soldiers returned to the front yard and put the treasures they found together so that they could be transported back to the country. Then they sat on the ground and divided the loot... ahem, waiting for the general's reward.
Seeing the valuable things piled up like a small mountain, Xiao Han, who had finished his work, also went over to take a look.
However, although the treasures found later were various, in terms of value, they were not as valuable as those found at the beginning.
Just when Xiao Han was shaking his head in disappointment, Jiayi, who finally returned,
They actually came back with their horses!
It turned out that when they searched for a remote courtyard, they accidentally discovered that there were many horses kept there! There were dozens of them!
In addition to a large number of fast horses, there are also a group of mules, donkeys and other livestock in the yard!
Later, according to Dong Gua, this courtyard was specially used to raise livestock for daily travel and mining!
Now, Xiao Han and the others are naturally at an advantage.
It was obvious that after seeing the horse, the eyes of almost everyone present lit up!
With these horses, it means they don’t have to work two roads! .??.
In addition, the people who came out with Xiao Han this time were all cavalry. Although their foot combat skills were good, without horses, they always felt like they were missing something.
Now, riding on a familiar horse, let alone a mere mine, even if they were asked to rush to Beisha City to show off their power, they would not be afraid!
"Hahaha, let's go! Go to the mines!"
After rolling up all his belongings and taking them with him, Xiao Han was in a good mood and his next target was the legendary gold nugget.
Even though this harvest has already exceeded their expectations, who would dislike too much gold?
Not to mention the divine object such as nugget gold, its value has long exceeded the gold itself!
Once you take it back and let the craftsmen in the general prison study it, you may be able to deduce the specific gold content of this vein. Then next time you come back, you won't just grab some gold sand...
"Dong dong dong..."
But just when Xiao Han grinned, imagining himself returning home with a full load, suddenly, a series of horse hoofbeats sounded on the mountain road in the distance!
listen to this
#Every time verification appears, please do not use incognito mode!
Galloping like thunder, the loud noise echoing continuously in the valley, there are probably dozens or even hundreds of riders!
"Not good! There are enemies!"
Almost the moment they heard the sound of horse hooves, Jiayi, Lengzi and others surrounded Xiao Han!
At the same time, those Xuanjia troops who had been assigned war horses immediately drove their horses forward and set up a charging formation in front of the gate of the other courtyard!
As for the rest of the people, they drew their swords and bowed their bows!
In just the blink of an eye, a dense defensive formation is formed!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves on the opposite side is even clearer!
Judging from the noise, the two sides were only a few hundred steps apart.
It's just that except for this small open space in front of Xiao Han and the others, there are winding mountain roads and dense trees, and their sight is always blocked, so they can't see the true face of the person coming.
"Master Marquis, don't panic! I heard this movement, it's just a few dozen riders, wait for the brothers to kill them! Cut them all into headless bastards!"
At the front of the team, the stout man laughed twice deliberately, perhaps fearing that Xiao Han would be worried, and then led the dozens of people around him to rush forward!
However, at this moment, a familiar low voice came from the mountain road ahead: "Who? Who wants to chop me into a bastard?"
"ah?"
When the originally arrogant and domineering strong man heard this voice, he opened his mouth immediately, and the knife in his hand also "clanged..." and fell to the ground. The horse under him was so frightened that it jumped away in a hurry, almost losing its grip on the strong man.
The man was knocked down!
"Old Liu?"
Just when the strong man was about to panic and grasp the reins, Xiao Han had already heard the owner of the voice, and he screamed in surprise, pushed aside the people blocking him, and rushed forward to greet him!
