Early the next morning, Shao Xuan tied up the animal skin bag with gravel and took Caesar to the training ground.
In the past, when I wasn't awake, I always had to be frightened. If I didn't pay attention, I would be accidentally injured, or even hiccups.
The people of the tribe do not know too many tricks, they only imagine a prey, and then make a more direct response according to the habits of the prey.
Some warriors will treat the mountain wall as some kind of beast, and then punch and kick against the mountain wall. Therefore, don't be surprised if you see flying sand and rocks anywhere on the mountain, it's just a totem warrior practicing boxing.
Just like what I saw in Wu that night, an ordinary stone "spear" that child can break with one punch.
After Shao Xuan ran over to the training ground, he picked a mountain, carried another stone, and ran from the foot of the mountain to the mountain. On the way, he saw which part of the mountain was of good quality, and then went over to tap and dig.
"Fortunately, there is such a special ability." Shao Xuan looked at the different shades of gray in his vision and said with emotion.
Compared with the power of the totem, another ability in Shao Xuan's body undoubtedly helped him a lot, saving him time to find it.
Shao Xuan couldn't beat a medium or upper-middle grade stone, and when he punched it with his bare hands, it was his own hand that hurt.
After knocking and digging down the stone that he liked, he looked at the sky. It was almost noon, and Shao Xuan carried the stone and ran back. After returning to the hut to eat, he went to Lao Ke with the dug out stones.
In the afternoon, Shao Xuan arranged to learn stone tools.
There are many skills in looking at simple stone tools, not just simple tapping.
"First of all, you need to know how to identify the stone quality. Even if it is a stone core with the same hardness, the method of beating may not be the same." Lao Ke took out two stone cores with the same stone material and said.
Shao Xuan watched Lao Ke beat and peel one of them directly, while the other added cold heat treatment. Lao Ke explained to Shao Xuan the color change and cooling time of several kinds of stones after heating.
Some stones change color and texture to a greater or lesser extent when heated, while some stones just change texture, while others do not respond to the heating process. Sometimes heating must grasp the temperature, what temperature is the best for peeling, and what temperature is not suitable for peeling, etc. You need to know. And this temperature, when there is no precise instrument to measure, can only rely on feeling and experience.
For example, when Shao Xuan touched the same temperature, Lao Ke could tell which temperature was higher by touching the stone core a little.
Different stones respond differently to different temperatures, heating times, cooling changes, and other personalities.
Lao Ke put one of the two stone cores that he just took out and burned it on the fire, holding a stone stick in one hand and sandwiching the stone core in the middle.
The fire was burning very vigorously, as if it was drying people. He would be sweating all over in a short while by the fire. Lao Ke's face was also covered with sweat, but his hands were still steady, and he turned the stone. The movement of the nucleus is also very neat.
Half an hour later, the stone core heated on the fire turned from gray to reddish brown. Lao Ke took the stone core away from the fire, but did not start peeling the stone leaves, but waited for the stone core. Gradually cool down and the brown-red becomes lighter before peeling.
Whether it is slender or round, the stone leaves that are peeled off are almost the same thickness!
What kind of control can this be done? !
At least in Shao Xuan's previous concept, without those advanced cutting tools, it would not have been possible to do so.
The so-called "ideal polishing" is actually a very complicated process, and people who don't understand it can't imagine it at all.
After theory comes practice. For most of the afternoon, Shao Xuan practiced peeling stone leaves.
"Too much waste, come again!"
"What the hell is this peeling, come again!"
"The hammer swing is too poorly controlled, come again!"
"Wait! Can this kind of stone be peeled directly? You eat too much fish?! Take it and burn it again!!"
…
Some people who live closer to Lao Ke know that Lao Ke has become more violent recently. When talking about Shao Xuan, they all shook their heads and sighed, "That child A Xuan, what a pity!"
In fact, the situation in the house was not as dire as the tribesmen thought.
Lao Ke also said that he was not forgiving, and he was very troublesome to Professor Shao Xuan's stone skills, and he was willing to stone core.
Shao Xuan knocked on five stone cores in one afternoon. Not counting the one he brought over, the other four belonged to Lao Ke. The stones were not bad. It was a waste to use them as practice stones for himself. Feeling distressed, Shao Xuan looked ashamed.
Every day, returning to his wooden house tiredly from Lao Ke, Shao Xuan felt that all the muscles in his body were tingling, and the tingling was getting stronger and stronger. The tiger's mouth is even worse, hot, and it took a few times to set up the stone pot before it was successful.
Shao Xuan felt that it was not the stone core that was beaten, but himself, but he slept soundly at night, and when he woke up, he felt refreshed, as if yesterday's muscle tingling was just an illusion.
I just don't know if this is the ability of the totem warrior itself, or it is caused by another special ability.
Early this morning, Shao Xuan planned to go to the training ground just like a few days ago. Yesterday, he was optimistic about a place where the stone material was good, and he could dig out a few good stone cores. What should I do if I knock Lao Ke into poverty
As he walked, Shao Xuan realized that something was wrong. People who are not so active on weekdays all get up early and gather in the same direction.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan patted his forehead.
Almost forgot! Today is the day when Lang Ga and the others go out hunting! !
Lifting his legs and turning around, Shao Xuan took Caesar to the place where the crowd gathered.
There is a road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which extends upwards almost in a straight line, and this road is higher than other places around it, and no one builds houses on it. The hunting team goes out and returns through this road, and Does not interfere with other inhabitants of the tribe.
Over time, this road has also formed another meaning. The tribes call it the "Road to Glory".
It's like saying goodbye to the soldiers who are about to go to the battlefield. People's moods are naturally complicated, with pride, heavyness, and hope, because they don't know if their families are still well when the hunting team returns? Can you bring back enough food
Most of the people gathered on both sides of the "Road to Glory" were the family members of the soldiers of the hunting team that went out this time, ranging from the elderly to children. When the hunting team returns, these people will be here to greet them again. And the mood of the two times will naturally be completely different.
However, in addition to welcoming and sending off the hunting team, among the warriors of the hunting team, this road also represents this kind of meaning, a kind of affirmation of their own strength. If Shao Xuan is used to describe it, for many warriors, then The road is a "show off wealth road".
After returning from hunting, it is clear at a glance who has received how much food, just like the disclosure of assets. Rich people will naturally not lack reputation, status, and women. These are all things worth showing off.
"Come on!" someone shouted.
Shao Xuan looked over.
There were about 200 people walking down the mountain. The leader of the hunting team was the one who walked in the front. Shao Xuan had seen it on the night of the sacrifice. Not only the leader, but also the people behind the leader. Shao Xuan also felt familiar. I was dancing by the fire that night.
Those who walked down the mountain, whether with a smile on their face or a solemn face, walked with great momentum at every step, and they felt like a battlefield general.
At the back of the team, among the tall warriors, the children who were obviously shorter were very eye-catching. Among them were the leader's eldest grandson spear, and Fei who had shown before Shao Xuan before.
"Hey, who are those kids?"
"It's natural to be able to follow the first hunt."
"This is the best among the warriors awakened this year."
"Hey, is that a spear? As expected of the leader's grandson!"
…
The crowd was talking.
Said Dad pointed to Fei and others in the hunting team, and said to the track: "Look, they are about the same age as you, and the same group of awakened people can follow them to participate in the first hunting, how about you?"
Race neck stalk, "Who told you not to live on the mountain?"
Sai He Lao Tzu choked, and called out with two punches and two slaps.
