When Shao Xuan was not out hunting, he would go up the mountain every few days to hand in the animal skin scroll that Wu asked him to draw.
What Shao Xuan painted this time was not a witch scroll, but an ordinary animal skin scroll.
The witch wants everyone to know that the ancestors also used hounds, to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for raising and training cubs, but some contents cannot be disclosed more, and can only be selectively disclosed. The selected content will let Shao Xuan, who is better than most people, draw it, and the annotations will also select some parts of the original version, instead of writing all of them.
Compared with the witch scrolls that must use the power of inheritance, the general picture scrolls are much simpler and easier.
One hundred scrolls, with annotations, were all completed by Shao Xuan within ten days.
On this day, Shao Xuan took the last ten animal skin rolls up the mountain and handed them over to Wu.
As for Shao Xuan's frequent trips to Wu's place, the tribe's people have long been surprised, and even the people guarding Wu's gate did not stop him. Wu said that Shao Xuan came and let him in directly.
"This is the last ten copies." Shao Xuan put the ten animal skin rolls on the stone table in front of Wu, and asked Wu to check to make sure that there was nothing beyond the plan.
Wu quickly opened it and glanced at it, then put the animal skin roll aside, not like the previous few times, letting Shao Xuan leave immediately.
As soon as Shao Xuan saw Wu like this, he knew that the old man had something to say, and it was not a matter of one or two sentences, so he sat upright and waited for Wu's next words.
Seeing Shao Xuan's reaction, Wu Xian smiled, then the smile faded, and said, "Do you know what the leader and I, as well as the elders of the tribe, are discussing?"
Shao Xuan shook his head. He knew that during this period of time, the leader, the two big leaders, and several veteran warriors who had a relatively large voice in the tribe often came to Wu here, and they were all together. Seeing such a battle, he knew that it was not a trivial matter, so Shao Shao Xuan will not stay long every time he comes. Sooner or later, Wu would tell him what he should know, and Shao Xuan was not curious either. But now, Wu doesn't seem to plan to hide it, at least not from Shao Xuan.
Wu took out a relatively large animal skin scroll and spread it out on the stone table, "Do you know what this painting is?"
Shao Xuan leaned forward and glanced at the painting on the animal skin scroll.
Although the drawing is relatively rough, it can still be seen, "This is the tribe, and the hunting route."
The animal skin scroll on the stone table is equivalent to a simple map, only drawing the location of the tribe and a few hunting routes.
On this animal skin scroll, most of it was painted with black paint, including the tribe and several hunting routes. However, one of them was painted with red paint, and the red one was not any one that Shao Xuan knew about. hunting route.
Wu raised his finger, placed it on the red line, and clicked, "This is what we discussed."
Shao Xuan stared at the line and thought for a while, his eyebrows moved, and he looked at Wu, "The tribe is planning to open up a new hunting route?!"
Wu did not expect Shao Xuan to guess so quickly. After all, for the vast majority of the tribe, they have never thought about opening a new route, and even if they saw the picture, they might not think in that direction.
However, Wu was only stunned for a short time, and then smiled: "That's true."
There are more and more people in the tribe, but the number of people who go out to hunt is limited each time. Although there are special circumstances at home or injured warriors are excluded from the hunting team list, some healthy people are inevitably left behind.
Such a waste.
But if each hunting party increases the number of people, it is not necessary, but it may be worse. Going out to hunt is not the more people the better. The records left by the ancestors also mentioned the disadvantages of too many people.
In the past few years, Wu has been considering opening up a new route, and Caesar's change has strengthened Wu's determination.
If the cubs of the tribe grow up in batches, after the success of the engraving, they will definitely become a greater help. This is a force that cannot be underestimated.
In this way, it is very necessary to open up new routes.
Therefore, Wu found the leader, two big leaders, and a few veteran warriors who had more say in the tribe to discuss it together.
If Wu did not mention the matter of opening up a new route, others would not insist on it, but since Wu mentioned, the old soldiers were very excited one by one. For them, this was an epoch-making event.
They respect their ancestors and respect them, but they also listen to the sorcerers. In this matter, the people who were called over were basically supportive.
Opening up a new route is not an overnight thing, and the preparatory work must also be prepared, and the most important thing is the selection of personnel.
After discussions, it was finally decided to start the plan within three years. If it is smoother, it may start within a year, and if some unpredictable changes occur, it will be delayed. If it still cannot be implemented within three years, the witch will cancel the plan.
As for the number of people who will open up the new route, it is initially planned to be 30 people. The most important thing is that the essence is not too much, and this "fine" is not necessarily high in strength, it must be viewed in all aspects.
After the initial decision, the two leaders and the veterans secretly informed their children and grandchildren about the matter after returning, hoping that their children and grandchildren will perform better in the next one to two years. , then it will be more likely to be selected into the list of these thirty people.
They are not afraid of opening up a new route. Almost everyone who heard the news was very excited, especially the young and middle-aged warriors. They are in very good physical condition. It is more eye-catching, and they will naturally try their best to snatch the quota of 30 people.
To open up a new hunting route like the ancestors, it is an honor to go into the annals of the tribe, how can this keep them from getting excited
No wonder some people have been training like crazy at the training grounds recently.
After Wu finished speaking, he looked at Shao Xuan who was sitting across from the stone table.
Shao Xuan's reaction was different from others. As far as Wu knew, everyone who knew about this was very excited, some of them were even excited for several days, even the leader was no exception. To open up a new route, the leader and the two big bosses are naturally required to participate.
But why is Shao Xuan so calm? Is he not optimistic about the opening of a new route
Wu looked at Shao Xuan who was thinking with his eyes down. He was very curious what Shao Xuan was thinking.
Shao Xuan was silent for a while, looked up at Wu, did not say anything about the opening of the new route, but asked: "Have you ever thought about contacting other tribes?"
In Shao Xuan's words, the "other tribes" mentioned are not at all uncertain. Wu can tell that Shao Xuan is very sure that other tribes exist!
Wu, who was still thinking about the opening of a new route, now has a sharp look, and there is no smile on his face, which is completely different from his usual peaceful momentum. The witch at the moment is like a war knife, and the blade of this war knife is facing Shao Xuan.
At that moment, Shao Xuan almost jumped away, but he still held back, sitting in the same place, still maintaining the expression on his face, looking at Wu.
The atmosphere was stalemate for a while, and Wu Cai gradually restrained his aura. At first glance, it looked the same as usual, but the rigidity and seriousness on his face was extremely rare.
Not in the mood to talk about the opening of the new route, Wu took a deep breath and stared at Shao Xuan's eyes, "How did you know?"
Is there anyone else outside the tribe? The tribe's people also discussed it privately when they were bored. I heard that there is, but it only exists in rumors. Many people think that there are only one tribe of them in the world, but some people believe that there will be other tribes, but the world is too big for them to go out.
And for those who knew the exact answer, about five fingers in the tribe could count. Wu is undoubtedly the clearest one among them. After all, he can understand the handed down witch scrolls and know more things that others don't know. However, Wu remembered that he did not show Shao Xuan any Wu scrolls about other tribes!
"I came out of a cave near the foot of the mountain. In that cave, there is a stone room with paintings on the walls of the stone room." Shao Xuan said.
Wu felt his heart beating violently. He didn't know whether there were paintings in the cave. Someone had seen it in the cave before, and there was nothing else except some very old and incomplete stone tools.
"The painting was covered up." Shao Xuan explained how he discovered the painting at the beginning, "But after I woke up, I re-painted it with stone powder when I left the cave. Until now, except for me Besides, no one else saw it."
Wu Xuan's heart was relieved a lot, but he was also curious about what kind of paintings there were in the cave at the foot of the mountain. He didn't remember any relevant records.
"What's on the painting?" Wu asked.
"There are hounds, there is farmland, there are... fine jars..."
"What else?" Wu Zhu asked.
Shao Xuan paused and said, "One day, we will return to our homeland. The glory is still there, and the fire of the flaming horns will never be extinguished."
From the moment Shao Xuan said the first word of this sentence, Wu's hands began to tremble, which was a sign that he couldn't control his emotions.
"... Zan." Wu's voice was a little hoarse. Among the characters recorded in the ancient scrolls, the third name in the list of people about ancestors was "Zan". And what Shao Xuan said just now was also recorded in the ancient scroll.
There is no longer the excitement of opening up a new route, and the witch has a bitter face, "If you can go out... why bother opening up a new route!"
Shao Xuan looked at Wu, Wu's eyes were already red, and he was about to burst into tears. Seeing that, his emotions would not calm down for a while.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan still didn't say what was recorded in his notebook.
When Shao Xuan walked out of the stone house, Wu was still in a depressed mood. Originally, Shao Xuan didn't plan to speak about the murals in the cave so soon, but he didn't expect to encounter a new route development plan. After thinking about it, he talked about the murals.
It seems that Wu does not want to go out, and many predecessors have probably tried before, but they still failed.
Alas, a long way to go.
As he was walking, Shao Xuan suddenly heard the sound of "Ouch" coming from above the road. Looking up, Shao Xuan wished he could throw a spear over it.
Chacha was holding a cub at the moment, and the cub was obviously trained by someone in the tribe, and was screaming in fear.
"Chacha, get off me!!"
