back to prehistoric savage

Chapter 171
Akatsuki tried to stimulate his apprentice by asking Crow to demonstrate how to peel off stone leaves.

The Salt Tribe did not have anyone specialized in mining and making stone tools, while in the hill tribes, the worship of obsidian gradually gave rise to the post of stonemason.

At that time, Crow didn't know the social structure of the tribe on the mountain, but he observed that Mao, who always had his teeth and claws, was very courteous and courteous towards Chitu, and he knew that this old man was extraordinary.

So when the other party asked him to peel off the stone leaves in public, Crow immediately realized that this was his chance!

……

"Hurry up!"

A Mao's urging voice brought Crow's thoughts back to reality.

Chitu frowned and said, "I'm old, I have old arms and legs, and I can't walk too fast. You young people, please be more considerate."

"No, I'm not talking about you..." Ah Mao stretched out his hand and pushed the crow, "I'm talking about him."

"If I walk slowly, what's the use of him walking fast? Shouldn't your walking speed take care of the slowest person?"

"This...you are talking about it."

Ah Mao was speechless, smiled awkwardly, and stopped embarrassing the crow.

Chi Tu turned his head and winked at the crow.

Crow grinned, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that Chi Tu had slowed down on purpose.

In this strange land, terracotta is the only one who makes the crow feel warm.

But no matter how much Chitu thinks of him, he is still a savage, and this has not changed, so the old man's care is never straightforward, but in a more tactful way, such as quietly adding a few more pieces of meat to his food, trying to find ways Save him some work...

During this process, Crow also gradually understood Chitu's intentions. The old man asked him to work in the quarry by name, not because of his strength, but because of his talent in making stone tools.

Crow's "sense of stone" is very good, and his former clansmen praised him so much. He may master it in a few days that others need to learn in a cold day, but limited by the environment in which he grew up, his cognition of stone Very shallow, only common weapons and tools can be made.

Chi Tu often taught his apprentices from the sidelines while he was working, and he deliberately spoke loudly.

While working, the crow pricked up his ears to listen. At first, he didn’t understand much. With the improvement of his language level, he could understand more and more content, from the types of stones, the properties of various stones, to the mining of stones. , and then to the processing and production of various stone tools.

Chi Tu explained it in detail, and sometimes he would demonstrate it in person in front of him.

Crows learn a lot of new knowledge and new techniques every day.

When peeling off stone leaves and polishing stone tools for A Mao at night, the crow will try to use these knowledge and techniques. If you do a good job, A Mao will be in a happy mood, and your attitude towards him will naturally improve. If you mess it up, you will inevitably be punished Fists or clubs.

Fortunately, he does have some talent and doesn't often screw up, so most of the time, his life is much better than when he first came here, at least he won't open his eyes every day with the ominous premonition that he will die today.

He still has to do heavy physical work, but his duty is no longer simply to carry stones, and occasionally he is asked to do some technical work. During this period, Chitu gave him a second chance.

"This is... a high-grade holy stone?"

Crow looked in surprise at the shiny black rough stone that Chi Tu handed him. He had already learned to identify the quality of the holy stone, and he could tell at a glance that this holy stone, which was no bigger than a palm, was extraordinary.

Although he can help make stone tools, he usually processes ordinary stone materials, or holy stones with poor quality and impurities. High-quality holy stones are very rare, and most of them are used to make sacrificial vessels, which are of great significance. Only experienced stonemasons can do it this type of task.

"I wish you could polish it into a mirror."

Chitu took out a completed holy stone mirror and motioned him to polish it according to this standard.

Throughout the cold day, the crows have been wrestling with this fine holy stone, grinding away the edges and corners to make it as round as the sun, and smoothing the stone surface to make it as smooth as ice.

Now, the weather is getting warmer, and the snow in the mountains has melted. He carried heavy loads as always, and was escorted by Ah Mao and other hunters to the tribe’s camp on the mountain. holy stone mirror.

"Very good, very good! I really didn't miss it!"

Seeing the finished product, Chitu was so happy from ear to ear, he immediately expressed that he would go down the mountain with them and take a trip to the tribe.

"Son, you are a natural born mason! With this mirror, I can report to the priest and ask her to allow you to be my apprentice!"

Chitu was emotional.

"Apprentice?" Crow couldn't believe it, "But I... I'm a savage."

"What's wrong with the savage? Huo Ling never stipulated that savages can't be my Chitu's apprentice! Besides, you are a savage, not a villain. We have been together for so long. I don't know whether your nature is good or bad?"

Chitu saw the crow's uneasiness, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him, saying: "Don't worry, this mirror is enough to prove your talent. The priest is not unreasonable, let alone me! I have been a stonemason all my life." , even if it is to sell me a face, it is impossible for the priest to refuse."

"Is that so..."

It was a thing to be glad about, but the crow did not even react as well as the leopard skin and liver, who were very happy.

Thanks to the crow, the leopard skin and liver were also taken care of by Chitu.

In their view, as long as Brother Crow becomes Chi Tu's apprentice, their life will be much easier in the future.No matter how hard Crow refused to admit it, he still regarded them as members of his tribe in his heart, and they both knew better than anyone else.

Crow felt a little guilty.

Chi Tu treats him sincerely, and also sincerely wants to accept him as an apprentice and teach him his skills, he can see that.

But the crow was not telling him the truth.

He never gave up the idea of ​​running away.

In fact, he has been preparing for his escape.

Ever since he started peeling off the stone leaves for the barbarian, he has tried to hide some stone leaves. These leaf-thin stone flakes are extremely sharp, and as long as they are tied with wooden handles, they can be used as stone knives or stone spears.

Although the hunters in the quarry camp kept a close eye on him and conducted strict body searches every day, he was not without opportunities, especially when working in the quarry, there were more such opportunities.

He dug a hole near the quarry and buried the stone leaves in case they were needed.

In this cold weather, because of carrying stones, he often went back and forth between the quarry camp and the tribe. He had already memorized the nearby terrain and terrain, and even planned dozens of escape routes, just waiting for a suitable time.

Even at this moment, on the way to the tribe on the mountain, when Chi Tu was full of enthusiasm to accept him as an apprentice, he was still observing the surroundings, observing the accompanying crowd, looking for opportunities.

……

The crow spoke eloquently. This time, he no longer concealed anything, and told his experience in the quarry camp, what he saw and heard, and his mental journey clearly.

Just when he was talking about the key point, Tiger Claw suddenly rushed over and said loudly: "God, Lin! That woman is awake!"

Lin Yu immediately went to check on the woman's injuries. Zhang Tian glanced at the crow. Although the crow pretended to be indifferent and indifferent, the flash of concern in his eyes still couldn't escape Zhang Tian's eyes.

"Let's go, let's have a look too."

The two followed closely behind.

It just so happened that Zhang Tian had something to ask her. According to the confessions of A Niu and others, this woman was obviously the one the tribe on the mountain really wanted to arrest, and she specifically asked the people down the mountain to keep alive. Although her identity is not clear yet, she Knowing things is undoubtedly more and more comprehensive than the crow.

To be honest, until now, Zhang Tian still can't trust the crow, his words can only be used as a reference, combined with the woman's narration, the credibility will be much higher.

"My lord wizard! Come and take a look, she seems to have a fever!"

Leopard Gan's excitement was beyond words.

Before that, he still had doubts about the herbal medicine made by Lin Yu. He doubted whether the water boiled by these flowers and plants really had the function of curing diseases and wounds. Now that the woman has woken up and looks much better, there is no doubt that His worries are unnecessary, the herbal medicine of Mr. Wizard is really miraculous!
He really wanted to kowtow to Lin Yu to thank him, but his back hurt and he couldn't bend down.

Lin Yu touched the woman's forehead with the back of his hand. He still had a fever, but it was much better than before.

She just took a dose of fever-reducing medicine, and it had an immediate effect. Lin Yu didn't expect it, and thought that maybe it was because primitive people had never eaten herbal medicine and had no resistance in their bodies, so it worked so well.

Of course Crow, Leopard Gan, A Niu and the others didn't think so. They just thought that the wizard was born extraordinary and possessed great supernatural powers. They were all shocked and frightened, and they looked at Lin Yu with a bit of awe in their eyes.

The woman was even more surprised. She knew a little bit about healing methods. People in the tribe were injured, and they were all bandaged by her. However, she is best at "gynecology", and curing diseases and saving lives is not her specialty.

She knew very well how serious her injury was. She thought she was going to die. When Lin Yu debrided the wound and removed the pus, her consciousness was already very blurred. She could only feel the faint pain, but she didn't cry out. strength.

So much so that after waking up, she once suspected that she had entered the afterlife, and even thought that the leopard liver was not spared.

Leopard Gan had to spend a lot of time to explain the ins and outs of the matter clearly.

The woman sat up with some difficulty, her head was still groggy, but her consciousness was already clear.

The appearance of the wizard was completely different from what she had imagined, which surprised her.

He looks so tall!
This was her first reaction when she saw Lin Yu, and then she glanced at her fair and childish face and her undeveloped chest, and was even more surprised: Mr. Wizard is so young!
She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly felt sad.

"Are you uncomfortable?"

Sensing the woman's depression, Lin Yu asked.

Leopard Liver acted as an interpreter consciously and proactively.

"No." The woman shook her head, "Thanks to the lord wizard, I am much better now. It's just... Seeing the lord wizard reminds me of a friend who is as young as you, as gentle, and equally loved by everyone around you." Respect and trust."

The woman sighed softly and didn't say any more.

Leopard Gan and Crow looked at each other, both showing a little sadness.

Zhang Tian didn't come to see them as riddlers, so he immediately took the right to speak and put the topic on the right track: "Tell me about your origin, why did the mountain tribe arrest you? Let me guess... there are three priests in the mountain tribe , are you one of them?"

He confidently stated his guess. Apart from the noble priest, he could not think of anyone else who was worthy of the mountain tribe's mobilization and mobilization, and wanted to arrest him at any cost.

The woman froze for a moment, shook her head and said: "No, how could I... I'm just an ordinary person, my name is Ah Shui, and I know a little healing method. Of course, it's far from being comparable to the wizard. Injury, I can't heal."

Ah Shui is very frank and humble.

She was originally a very proud person, but after listening to Leopard Gan's narration, she learned that Lin Yu used needles and threads to sew up the wound on Amu's abdomen. Danger.

That kind of injury can be saved, it's incredible!

In front of Lin Yu, she didn't want to mention her little ability at all, it was really... not worth mentioning.

Then I couldn't help but think: If Zi Yan was with her instead of me, maybe it wouldn't have turned into the current situation.

Thinking of this, she once again fell into deep self-blame.

The crow added for her: "She is not an ordinary person. Although she is not as powerful as the wizard, she can even save the dead..."

Speaking of this, Crow deliberately paused, and glanced at A Niu and the others with deadly eyes, making no effort to hide his contemptuous attitude.Ah Da was furious immediately, if he hadn't been bound hands and feet, he would have jumped up to make gestures with this savage.

Crow went on to say: "But in the mountain tribe, she also often heals the illnesses and injuries of her tribe members, and is especially good at things related to pregnancy and childbirth... Ah Shui, am I right?"

Ah Shui said with a little embarrassment: "It's just some means of aphrodisiac and assisted pregnancy. The wizard must know more than me."

"I really don't know much about this. When your injury heals, you must teach me."

Lin Yu is not completely ignorant. She also knows some herbs for aphrodisiac and pregnancy. However, she is more curious about the methods primitive people would adopt.

Ah Shui looked at Lin Yu, meeting her gentle and sincere eyes.

It turns out that there are things she doesn't understand... Thinking about it, Ah Shui regained some confidence.

Zhang Tian asked: "So the tribe on the mountain arrested you to obtain the knowledge you possess?"

"Do not……"

Ah Shui hesitated.

Leopard Gan said anxiously: "What can't be said now? They come from the same place as me, and they are good people. You can trust me, and you can trust them too!"

Ah Shui glanced at Leopard Gan, then looked at the young man with strange hair, and said, "Everything on me was taken away by you, and there was something they wanted, and they arrested me for that." .”

"This is it."

Zhang Tian spread out his hand, and in the palm lay a delicate obsidian ornament, only the size of three fingers, slightly thinner than the fingers, with a vivid flame pattern engraved on it.
