Rubbing his eyelids, Ke abruptly stood up from the stone bench. Because one leg was missing, he swayed twice when he got up, and the movement range was too large, which naturally attracted Shao Xuan's attention.
Putting down the soon-to-be-formed stone tools and grinding stones, Shao Xuan looked at Lao Ke suspiciously. He was in a very good state just now, and he didn't feel any mistakes, and the polishing process also reached Lao Ke's standard, but what's the matter with Lao Ke's appearance of "I have a big groove" now
"A Xuan, you... you you... "
"You" for a long time before Ke said, "How do you usually train?"
It was unclear what Lao Ke meant by this, but Shao Xuan still elaborated on his training arrangements during this period of time. Of course, his special ability would not be revealed.
In fact, rather than training, it is better to say that this period of time is preparing for the grinding of stone tools. Many of the same group of awakened children at the training ground are either exercising their strength or practicing throwing. Only Shao Xuan spends most of the time there. Look for stone cores. Some people also secretly mocked Shao Xuan for "not doing a proper job".
After pondering for a while, Ke didn't feel that there was anything unusual in what he said. Shao Xuan worked very hard, and when he polished the stone tools, he showed a lot of hard work, which was why Ke was willing to teach him. However, back then, when he was learning stone tools, he was able to fight hard enough, so why didn't Shao Xuan improve his speed so fast
Really can't understand, Lao Ke can only attribute the reason to Shao Xuan's extraordinary talent, as expected to be awakened at the age of ten.
After calming down, Lao Ke waved his hand and motioned Shao Xuan to continue. After thinking about it, he stopped again, took out a wide straw curtain, divided the stone tool grinding work into two, and motioned Shao Xuan to go to the inner one. sanded.
Although he was puzzled, Shao Xuan complied. There must be a reason for Lao Ke to do so.
Across the straw curtain, Lao Ke could also see the small figure being polished over there. Slowly rubbing a stone leaf in his hand, I don't know what to think, Lao Ke's frowning brows stretched out, and he couldn't help but chuckle in a low voice.
When the sun was about to go down, Shao Xuan came out of the inner compartment sweating all over, and gave Lao Ke the polished stone tools for inspection. There are more stone leaves and stone cores to be polished today, and it ends much later than usual.
However, Lao Ke did not check the stone tools one by one as he did a few days ago, but he pushed aside the pile of stone tools, looked at it twice and stopped looking closely, but said to Shao Xuan: "You go back first, starting tomorrow, Shooting and polishing are based on your own ideas, and you can let go of whatever you want to polish."
"Well, okay, I see."
In fact, Shao Xuan wanted to make something of his own for a long time, but at that time the technology was too scumbag, what he did and what he thought were completely two things, and he always failed in the middle. Now that Lao Ke said so, he also followed Shao Xuan's wishes.
If you want to make a satisfactory stone tool, the processes involved such as peeling stone leaves, grinding, tableting, heat treatment, etc., the required processing tools include hammers, pressing sticks, punches, grinding stones, stone anvils and other fixed objects, etc. , Shao Xuan's wooden house was not complete with tools, so he could only come to Lao Ke every day to do anything.
However, Shao Xuan didn't dare to imagine anything at first, so he started with the stone tools that the tribe was familiar with.
The next day, Shao Xuan took the stone cores he had picked all morning to Lao Ke and began to polish them.
What Shao Xuan wants to polish is the double-winged stone arrowhead, which is also the most used stone arrowhead in the tribe. There is a lot of usage in Langa.
Lao Ke also told Shao Xuan about the essentials of making stone arrows. The rest can only be understood during polishing, and Lao Ke will also point out some details to pay attention to.
After a few days in a row, Lao Ke no longer sat beside him and stared at Shao Xuan's polishing. There was no need for him to say that Shao Xuan could already do a good job. Leaning on a wooden stick, Lao Ke took out a wooden box full of various stone tools, large and small, and placed it outside the house.
These are all stone tools that Shao Xuan has polished over the years, among which spearheads and stone arrows are the most, and the style of the polished stone tools is also somewhat different from that of Lao Ke.
In the past few days, Lao Ke's rules have changed. No one is allowed to enter the house in the afternoon. In the morning, he will take out a lot of stone tools that have been made and put them on display. Anyone who wants to change them should quickly change them. , Lao Ke packed his things and went into the house, and would not come out all afternoon.
Therefore, seeing Lao Ke put things out at this time, some people gathered.
"Hey, Lao Ke, why are you setting things up at this time today?"
"Hey, Lao Ke, shouldn't Ah Xuan make these things?"
Many people know that Shao Xuan is learning stone tools from Lao Ke, but everyone is not optimistic. Some people are also discussing how long Shao Xuan can last in private, and whether he will be the same as those before, who can't help but leave after a few days of learning. Or he was forcibly driven out by Lao Ke, but he didn't expect it to persist until now. Looking at Lao Ke again, he didn't look like he was mad.
Strange.
However, the person who said that the stone tool was polished by Shao Xuan just now laughed, and the people who came with him just smiled and didn't take it seriously. After all, in their opinion, that kid followed Lao Ke. How many days do you study? It is absolutely impossible to polish such a successful stone product! They just made fun of Lao Ke.
"This stone arrowhead is well polished, and it's just right for laying bows and traps... Hey, this barb is well polished, I like it like this." A person squatted down and started picking out his favorite arrowhead.
Seeing that someone has already started, others don't care about joking, and quickly pick their favorite stone tools, for fear that the good things will be picked by others first. After all, the stone tools from Lao Ke are indeed better than others.
"Hey, Lao Ke, have you changed your style? Before this arrowhead didn't have such long barbs." A soldier picked up a stone arrow, touched the wings on it, and said.
And Ke, who was sitting there, just kept his usual face and didn't answer.
The warriors who came to exchange stone tools had long been accustomed to Lao Ke's behavior, and did not expect Lao Ke to explain. It's not uncommon for stone tools to change styles.
Hunting consumes a lot of stone tools. Because they are stone tools, many of them are disposable and not reusable like metals, so the scrapping rate is particularly high. This also led to a large amount of stone tools prepared by the warriors before each hunt.
It’s been almost twenty days since the last group of hunting teams went out for hunting. Generally speaking, they basically don’t go out hunting for more than 20 days. Even if they encounter trouble or other difficulties, it will never exceed 30 days. After all, the tribe still has The families of the hunting warriors, if they do not come back, the family will starve.
So, do the math, the hunting team that went out is coming back soon, and the other team is also preparing recently, just waiting for the people who went out to come back, they will hand over the affairs of the tribe, and then set off to hunt. Stone tools, naturally, the more abundant the better.
"... They came back for the past two days. In the morning, I saw someone bring the wounded back first. This time, two of them were seriously injured, but they were not life-threatening. I heard that no one was broken." Someone on the side said while picking.
"So we're ready to go too? I have to go back and get some more things to exchange with Lao Ke."
"Didn't you say two people were hurt? Who was hurt?"
"… "
Everyone began to talk again, but the movements in their hands did not slow down. The hand shadow of which stone tool they saw flashed tightly in their hands, and those who took a slow step could only secretly regret not making the first move.
"If you want to change, change it quickly, and get out when you're done!" Lao Kehan waved his arm with a sullen face. To discuss and discuss going to other places, Ah Xuan is still polishing in the house, what should I do if I make a noise
In the eyes of everyone, Lao Ke is too difficult to get along with. It seems that he doesn't care about anything other than stone tools, and he is fierce when scolding people. But in fact, Lao Ke valued Shao Xuan more than anyone else. As soon as these people started talking, Lao Ke was not happy, and immediately drove them away.
Everyone was not angry, stopped talking, and quickly finished the selection and went back to talk.
When the things on the table were almost finished, and no one came over, Lao Ke picked up the remaining small stone tools into the wooden box, shook his head, and whispered to himself: "Why don't you like this kind of small stone tools? Actually, , as long as it is used properly, it is much more lethal than those big men."
When Shao Xuan finished today's polishing and dragged his tired body back, the hunting team that went out also returned before the sun went down.
