Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 66: Know what my name means?

Views:

Lao Ke didn't tell anyone about Shao Xuan's strangely fast ascension speed, and according to the observations in the next few days, Shao Xuan found that they had never mentioned it to anyone, so the tribesmen looked at Shao Xuan's Sometimes he just praised him as a brave warrior, a warrior blessed by his ancestors. Apart from that, there is nothing else, not even the grid that often runs to Lao Ke.

After returning, Shao Xuan sent some food for this hunt to several familiar families, and Lao Ke and Ge would naturally not fall, as well as Ayi who helped Shao Xuan sew things, who taught numbers, and The kids over there in the cave wait.

The grinding of stone tools has almost been learned. Wu and the leader sent some stone cores with quite good stone materials. Shao Xuan polished a few spearheads, and Lao Ke has re-polished the tooth knife with the broken tip, and the appearance is not very good-looking. , but it works fine.

"Look, how is this one?" Shao Xuan handed the polished stone spear to Lao Ke.

Lao Ke slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at it, but he didn't get started, and said directly: "Yes."

It is extremely difficult to get a "yes" evaluation from Lao Ke, because even the works of many stoneware masters in the tribe will be mercilessly criticized as "waste" by Lao Ke. In comparison, Shao Xuan's current Grinding skills have been quite skilled.

Shao Xuan put the polished stone tools aside, hehe smiled and leaned in front of Lao Ke, saying: "You see that my stone tool grinding skills are almost the same, you also said that I can only improve my skills by practicing more. …are you ready for the next stage of teaching?”

Lao Ke was famous for not grinding stone tools, but a very powerful set of skills!

"Want to learn?" Lao Ke asked in a deep voice, "It's very hard."

"Of course I do! I'm not afraid of suffering!" Shao Xuan nodded quickly.

"Okay, come back tomorrow morning."

"Hey, okay, then I'll go first!" Shao Xuan still helped Lao Ke set up the stone pot and chop wood before leaving.

After Shao Xuan left, Lao Ke's expressionless face couldn't help showing a smile.

Early the next day, when Shao Xuan took Caesar to Lao Ke's side, Lao Ke was already waiting.

"Take it." Lao Ke pointed to a small wooden box next to him, and walked out with a cane.

Shao Xuan hurried over to carry the box up. It wasn't heavy, and he didn't open it to see what was inside.

Caesar was yawning when he was knocked on the head with a wooden cane. He bared his teeth and looked over. When he saw it was Lao Ke, he quickly put his teeth away. Unexpectedly, Lao Ke walked up to Caesar and sat on the wolf's back, almost crushing Caesar who was not prepared.

Caesar moved uneasily, and was passed by Lao Ke with two crutches, and he was honest. In the area near the foot of the mountain, it is not afraid of others, but of Lao Ke.

"Go to the training ground." Lao Ke pointed to the direction with his crutches.

"Oh." Shao Xuan carried the box and walked over there.

Caesar is now one year old and grows fast. He usually helps Shao Xuan and Lao Ke to haul things. It is natural to carry Lao Ke. He almost fell just because he was not prepared.

So, when Ge was chewing and dangling with a piece of jerky in the morning, he saw Lao Ke sitting comfortably on the wolf's back with a cane, and Ge almost choked with shock.

It was only later that he became acquainted with Lao Ke. He was also a disabled person in the tribe. He was restless and thick-skinned, so he often ran to Lao Ke.

In Ge's opinion, Lao Ke was just too strong. After losing a leg, he quit the hunting team and did not let others help. In the end, he moved down the mountain directly, separated from the teammates who lived on the mountain and did not accept other people's I feel that it is charity and hurts my self-esteem. Every year when I go up the mountain to participate in the ceremony, I don’t let anyone support me, I don’t let anyone carry it, and I don’t let anyone carry me. I just move a cane and walk slowly up the mountain. It seems that he is afraid that others will say that he can't walk, and he will go wherever he goes.

But now

Who is sitting on the wolf's back

The attitude of daring to treat wolves is different from that of people, right? Not walking by yourself? Aren't you afraid of being told

What do you mean by "self-esteem"? Eaten by Caesar? !

There are a few low hills overgrown with trees in the training ground. Usually, everyone gets wood there. There are not many plant species, and there is nothing for animals to eat except for the particularly strong fecund squirrels. was eaten.

The felling makes the trees here far less sturdy than those on the other side of the hunting forest, but it is enough for normal use. Thicker ones have buckets as well.

Why do people hunt? The answer is: in pursuit of energy-maximizing adaptive strategies.

Vegetables and fruits, miscellaneous grains, river fish, animal meat, etc. are all on the tribal recipes. Vegetables, fruits and miscellaneous grains can be found in the surrounding low mountains, but not many. River fish was newly added last year, and people near the foot of the mountain eat a lot. As for animal meat, this is the staple food in the tribe, and it is also the food with the most energy in the recipe, especially the high-grade animal meat.

Therefore, tribal people hunting, not only following the development strategy formulated by their ancestors, but also in order to meet their own energy needs, the higher the level of warriors, the more inclined they are to high-energy food, and low-energy food will not help them much.

In hunting, in addition to assassinating, slaughtering, etc., it will also use the method of setting traps. Good nooses and traps can become extremely dangerous and latent killers.

Lao Ke used to be a man who made latent killers.

After getting off Caesar's back, Lao Ke did not immediately teach Shao Xuan how to set a noose, but first told Shao Xuan about things to pay attention to, such as how to use the environment and how to hide traps.

After finishing the lecture, Lao Ke started to set up a set, starting from a simple one, explaining to Shao Xuan the technical points contained in each step while busy. Different types of sets, such as hole sets, intersection sets, flat sets, etc., have their own characteristics, and among them there are many changes made according to the type of prey.

How big should the mouth guard be? How much of the circumference of the prey's head is appropriate? Is the cable used for the set type better animal hair or straw rope? Double-sided or single-sided or composite? Or, need to be a serial set? Do you need to dig a hole? Is there a knife stake

Although he had seen Lang Ga set up a set, but after listening to Lao Ke's explanation, Shao Xuan knew that the styles of the two were really different.

Lang Ga's family also set traps, and Lang Ga's grandfather set traps very well, but the other party has a different style from Lao Ke.

Lao Ke's traps, to put it simply, are more sinister, more extreme, and pursue a set of kills.

After demonstrating a few simple traps, Lao Ke asked Shao Xuan to try it.

However, to lower the lasso, you have to start with weaving straw rope. The straw rope that I brought here has just been used up.

"How do you roll the grass rope? Do you want to teach it to you again? The grass rope and knotting are very important to a good lasso." Lao Ke said.

Shao Xuan rubbed the straw rope in his hand and did not answer directly, but asked, "Do you know what my name 'Xuan' means?"

Lao Ke's knotting action paused, he really didn't know.

The people of the tribe choose names that are simple and whatever comes to mind, such as Lao Ke’s own name; or they are named after familiar things or things with great commemorative significance, such as spears; and others use onomatopoeia Words as names, such as nibbling.

Raising his eyelids, Lao Ke waited for Shao Xuan's answer.

Shao Xuan tossed the straw rope in his hand, flicked his fingers, and then pulled it tight, and a seemingly simple knot was completed. Hehe smiled and said, "Don't you think Xuanzi looks like a knot of tangled straw rope?"

He didn't lie. When he was born in his last life, his grandmother was rubbing straw ropes. Later, when he was going to name him, the old man looked through an oracle bone inscription at home, and all of a sudden he saw the twist-like "Xuan" character. , his grandmother said, "However this word looks like the straw rope we twisted, let's call it."

The tribe's characters are also very similar to the mysterious characters of oracle bone inscriptions, so Shao Xuan's explanation will not make people suspicious.

Lao Ke looked at the rope loop that Shao Xuan had woven, and then looked at the knot that Shao Xuan was tying on his hand. It was what he demonstrated just now, and he only demonstrated it once!

There are several kinds of knots that he designed by himself when he was hunting. It looks simple, but it is very complicated to play. If there is a slight deviation, it will be a waste, and the effect of the next set will be very poor. As long as the prey catch a hole, they can escape.

As a pursuer of a set of mortal methods, Lao Ke's requirements for knots are also very strict. But…

I also plan to teach it slowly. After all, many people didn't get a complete section after studying for a long time, but I didn't expect this kid to be able to successfully type it with just one glance!

Pulling the corner of his mouth, Lao Ke thought to himself: Is this child born to learn this trick

This is really... so tamar excited!
