Original War

Chapter 16-Full of Bad Water, Just Like You

Shao Xuan raised the curtain and walked in. Caesar squeezed in, but he did not dare to touch it everywhere. Once he was curious about an object in the room and sniffed it. When he hit it, he got his nose pinched. I couldn’t pull it off either, the more I pulled it, the tighter it was. Even if Shao Xuan quickly helped it to remove the grip, it still hurts for a long time. After that, Caesar was very honest every time he came here, only following Shao Xuan, not overly curious.

Ke’s house is a bit larger than most people in the neighborhood. It is about a hundred square meters. The house is full of various stone utensils, from stone cups and bowls for daily use to stone knives and spearheads for hunting. There are also many types. Organic tools such as antler bones are also all stone, but the most are composite types, that is, a combination of the first two. Composite tools are used most by warriors in tribes.

After scanning the hanging tools, Shao Xuan withdrew his gaze and went directly to the small room where Ke polished the tools.

Ke sat there with gray hair and old-fashioned, because every day he polished the stone tools, the animal skins on his body were stained with a layer of gray stone dust, and the hands holding the stone tools were covered with calluses and a layer of gray.

Ke’s gaze was always on the stone tool being polished, and he didn’t look away because Shao Xuan came in, as if the whole world only had the stone tool in his hand.

Knowing Ke’s character, Shao Xuan directly took out the animal skin bag, took out the two stones inside and handed it to Ke.

“Uncle Ke, can you help polish two stone knives or daggers?”

The two stones Shao Xuan took out after polishing can only be short knives and daggers, not long.

Ke stopped the work at hand, raised his head and glanced at the stone that Shao Xuan handed over, then looked at the two fish that Shao Xuan had dragged over, “Yes, keep one.” It means that it can be polished, and one fish is enough for handwork. NS.

“Leave both of them, and I gave you the other. Thank you for your help over the past six months.” Shao Xuan smiled.

Every time I picked up a stone that could be processed, I came to Ke to exchange it. At the beginning, Shao Xuan was not familiar with business, and after looking for some bad stones, Ke still exchanged food. Later, Shao Xuan was able to identify the stone, and only after thinking about it, how could people who come into contact with different stone sanding tools every day fail to identify the quality of the stone? It can only show that Ke is deliberate.

Although Ke always had a sullen face and felt alienated, he did help Shao Xuan a lot. In addition, two days ago, Shao Xuan also saw the grid responsible for transporting food appear here. When he talked to Ke, his words were very familiar. Obviously the two people are in a good relationship. Shao Xuan guessed that Ku left the cave and went up the mountain. , Ge let Shao Xuan take over the management hole, it is probably the reason for this stone tool master.

Ke frowned and was about to speak, Shao Xuan hurriedly took out a small stone knife and handed it to Ke: “Uncle Ke, this is a newly polished stone knife by myself. You can take a look.”

The stone material of Shao Xuan’s stone knife is not good. According to the standards of stoneware masters, it is only of medium and low quality. The material is slightly better than those on the gravel ground. It does not take much effort to polish it. Shao Xuansan The sky is ready.

Ke took a look, brushed his fingers with stone powder lightly across the knife, and finally clicked a third near the handle, “Here, no way.”

Shao Xuan knows that experienced stoneware masters can see the shortcomings of stone tools at a glance, such as knives, and they can see where the knives fail the most. And what Ke just pointed out was to tell Shao Xuan that here, the most failed polishing.

Why is it the most failure?

Shao Xuan is a layman after all. When polishing stone tools, he just took it for granted. Shao Xuan didn’t understand the so-called technology skills in the eyes of stone tools. This stone knife naturally failed everywhere in Ke’s eyes. That point is the failure in failure.

The more people you contact, the deeper you understand the tribe, and the better Shao Xuan understands that the wisdom and abilities of the people here cannot be underestimated. Taking out this stone knife, Shao Xuan also wanted to learn more polishing skills from Ke.

This stone knife only has the shape of a knife, and it is also suitable for use. It is far from the nature used by the soldiers who go out hunting. In the eyes of the stone tool master Ke, it is full of shortcomings, where it is easy to break and where. If you have over-sharpened your head and wait for a little bit, you can see it at a glance.

Just by looking at the expression on Ke’s face, you can tell that this one is not very satisfied. This is because Shao Xuan is a child and has no experience in sharpening stone knives. If another soldier comes over, he will give Ke a stone tool like this. Ke will not say a word. He just throws the knife and is too lazy. Said, completely ignored.

“Uncle Ke, can I learn to polish stone tools from you?” Shao Xuan asked. Now his time is not tight, and there is a whole cold winter that is coming. If he can learn the technology of polishing stone tools, he can practice more when he is nestled in the cave in winter. Anyway, the stone is on hand.

Unfortunately, Ke Wenyan shook his head, “Not now, wait until you wake up.”

Grind a stone and wait for the power of totem to awaken? What is the reason for this?

Although he was puzzled, Shao Xuan didn’t continue to ask wittily, and he knew that he didn’t want to elaborate.

Since Ke said so, he naturally has his reasons. but……

Shao Xuan has the final say, he will be ten years old after this winter. According to the situation of the other children in the cave, the early ones are awakened at the age of eleven or twelve, and at least one or two years have to be waited.

Thinking of this, there is still a long time.

Although I can’t learn it now, it’s always okay to take a look. Shao Xuan squatted aside and watched Ke polish the stone tool.

Some things bystanders look at the simplicity. When they really get started, they realize that they are completely different from what they imagined. Shao Xuan looked at the short knife that Ke polished and then looked at the sharpened by himself… Hey, it’s not better than not knowing, no need to look at the stone. Just by looking at the appearance, you can clearly see the advantages and disadvantages. It is no wonder that Ke looked at the knife that Shao Xuan himself polished just now. He had a lot of words in his heart. Seeing that Shao Xuan was just a child, he didn’t scold him. come out.

When it was getting dark, Shao Xuan helped the stone pot to burn the fire, and the fish was chopped well, so he left and took Caesar back to the cave.

Soon after Shao Xuan left, Ke put the polished stone tools in the box, wiped his hands and began to prepare food. The water in the stone pot had already boiled, and when he put Shao Xuan’s already cut fish into the stone pot, there was a soft sound from the window behind him, followed by the sound of swish arrows flying.

“Oh!”

Boom!

The man who came in through the window fell to the ground.

Without lifting his eyes, Ke stirred in the stone pot with a spoon.

“Hey, I said Old Ke, why did you change your tricks again? His…” The one-armed Grid rubbed his butt. Just now his buttocks touched the ground first and fell. There was a loop of leather rope on his feet that was tightly bound. His legs, otherwise he would not fall down like this after turning over the window. He just lacked an arm and no legs. How could he fall so easily under normal circumstances?

There was still cursing over there, and here Ke continued to stir the soup in the stone pot, ignoring the bullshit when he came in through the window.

Ge finally untied the leather strap and stood up, sniffed, and immediately leaned to the stone pot, “Fish soup?”

Glancing around the room, and seeing the fish on the side, Ge smiled, “That kid has been here?”

“…” Ke didn’t say a word.

“That boy Axuan dragged the fish to find me for a big bag of salt yesterday. The picture is so big. I went to the cave to see it. Wow, you don’t know, the cave is full of fish. This winter Help the boys, hey, no wonder you recommended that boy A Xuan to replace Ku, let alone how long it took, the situation in the cave changed drastically, half of the salt in my hand was given by that boy. I changed it.” Ge sighed.

There is a naturally formed salt pond near the mountain where the tribe is located. The tribe’s salt comes from there, but the tribe controls the salt and regularly distributes a certain amount of salt to each household to ensure the minimum demand for life. If you have more, you have to change things yourself. Don’t even think about stealing. There are soldiers guarding the salt pond. Those who are in charge of the salt pond are the people on the mountain. The people who want more salt go up the mountain to find someone to change it. However, Ge is in charge of food and hands. Naturally, there would be more to stay in, so Shao Xuan went to him directly with the fish.

Seeing that Ke was still silent, Ge found a stone bench to sit down and talked to herself, “I saw that kid sharpening the stone knife the day before yesterday. He came here today to let you give guidance, right?” Bu waited for Ke’s answer. , Ge continued: “In fact, that kid is pretty good, he has a lot of energy to learn, and his brain is flexible. At first glance, he is full of bad water. Just like you, he is suitable for doing your stuff. Now that he has found it, he has sincerity. , Why shouldn’t you go down?”

Grid dangling his feet glanced at the chopped fish pieces on the table, and his gaze fell on the erected stone pot. This is different from the usual way of setting up a stone pot. It was just someone else had erected it. It’s safe to stand up. I think it came from the hand of the kid who came just now.

Ke shook his head and said this time: “It’s easy to get hurt.”

“Yes, without the power of awakening totem, it would be bad if there is an accident. After all, the things you are playing with are…very dangerous.”

Grid pulled off an arrow that was wearing the animal skin jacket under his armpit. When he came in through the window just now, he only paid attention to these arrows. He didn’t pay attention to the leather rope close to the window edge before he was hit.

Obviously it is only a small wooden arrow, which can be easily broken with a finger, but it can penetrate the fur clothing on his body in the blink of an eye just now, which shows the speed when it shoots out.

Holding the half-palm-length small arrow and turning it flexibly between the fingers, after playing for a while, the grid moved his fingers, and with a flick, the small arrow was accurately shot into the thin wooden tube hanging in the corner.

He didn’t know where these little arrows came from, so he could only put them in a wooden tube first. The wooden tube contained all the things he threw. When it was full, he would naturally take out all the things inside. Class put back.

“Old Ke, you have to wait. According to the physique of the children in the cave, you will have to wait at least two more years.” Ge sighed.
