After the tribe returned to normal, Shao Xuan's life returned to its original rules.
Every 20 or 30 days, he goes out to hunt, and then returns to the tribe to polish stone tools, learn trap lasso from Lao Ke, and train Caesar and Chacha.
In a blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed. During this time, Shao Xuan expanded his wooden house, and under the guidance of Lao Ke, he added stone to make a wooden and stone house, which was more solid than the original one. In terms of construction, Shao Xuan is indeed inferior to Lao Ke and the others, so all he can do is to build according to Lao Ke's guidance.
The newly built wooden and stone house is twice as big as Lao Ke's house. There is a studio for grinding stone tools. Lao Ke's equipment has already been moved in. When Shao Xuan was polishing the stone tools, Lao Ke was sleeping in the next room. , not too noisy, wake up and then get up to instruct Shao Xuan a few words.
When Shao Xuan was out hunting, in addition to polishing stone tools and helping train Caesar and Chacha, Lao Ke would sit by the window and bask in the sun in his spare time. Every time I came over, I was very emotional when I saw Lao Ke's comfortable look. Who would have thought that Lao Ke's life would have such a change a year ago
Chacha grew up very fast. It had been half a year since hatching. The weak chicken-like chick that could have been supported by his hand was almost on Shao Xuan's shoulder when he raised his head. The previous wooden house was too small, and when Caesar and Chacha got into trouble, they wanted to demolish the house. Therefore, during this expansion, Shao Xuan specially built two dens as a bird's nest and a wolf's nest.
Caesar's wolf's den is near the gate. If there is any movement, you can know that Shao Xuan is completely raising it as a dog. The bird's nest of Chacha is a bird's nest specially built on the roof.
With Chacha, those Yeyans would not be close to the house at night, and sometimes when they woke up in the morning, they would find the bodies of several Yeyans beside Chacha's bird's nest. It didn't eat it either. After pecking Ye Yan to pieces, it flew to the river to feed the fish, and then watched the big-headed piranhas scramble for it. This thing is not only cruel, but also very funny.
Shao Xuan has always thought that the baby bird needs external help to learn to fly, such as pushing it down from a height, but in fact, there is no need for Shao Xuan to worry. Now, jumping down from the stone table is a common thing. When Shao Xuan reacted, it could fly very well, and it flew everywhere all day long. Really, he immediately flew high, so angry that Caesar could only dig the ground.
Once Shao Xuan came back from a hunt and was summoned by Wu. When he took Chacha to find Wu, he met Ao, the leader who talked to Wu.
Ao said that the chacha may be a bird similar to the giant eagle on the mountain. It means that it is probably a close relative. It is not as big as the giant eagle on the mountain, but it is also a bird of prey. Compared with other birds, it still has a body shape. .
Shao Xuan's first thought when he heard about it was: Ma's, no wonder it's so edible!
When this young bird was young, it had a big appetite and was picky eater. Now that it is older and able to fly, it is still supported by Shao Xuan most of the time. He only occasionally finds some snacks for himself, because Shao Xuan does not let it run too far.
As for what the mountain giant eagle looks like, Shao Xuan has never seen it, and most people in the tribe have never seen it. I heard that there is an Eagle Mountain in a far away place, and the mountain giant eagle is there.
Not knowing what kind of bird the chacha is, Shao Xuan can only speculate based on the character of the giant eagle on the mountain that Ao said. If it is a close relative, there will always be similarities.
It is said that the mountain peak giant eagle is very cold-blooded and cruel. Even if it is related by blood, it will fight. However, when fighting for territory, there will be no life-and-death battle. As for birds or other birds and beasts that are not related by blood, they will directly fight to the end. After that, he will try his best to kill the opponent.
Judging from what Shao Xuan observed, Chacha is really approaching the giant eagle on the mountain peak, and the character is similar. The good thing is that because of the early contact, he has been domesticated since he was a child, and it has converged a lot.
"Have you found a good stone core again?"
Lao Ke stood by the window and saw Shao Xuan, who came back from the training ground, carrying two large stones, and said.
"Well, it feels pretty good. I can make a few spearhead darts, and the fine stone leaves that are peeled off can also be made into stone needles for trapping."
After placing the two stones in the grinding workshop and drinking some water, Shao Xuan heard a few bird calls in the sky outside.
Walking out of the door, Shao Xuan looked at the birds circling in the sky above his head, raised his hand and made a gesture, and the birds in the sky flew away after a cry.
"Chacha going out to play again?" Lao Ke asked.
"Yeah, fortunately it still knows that it can't fly too far, and it will come back when it's time." Shao Xuan entered the room and sat down and said.
"It's still small now. After the tribe's range, there are many fierce birds in the sky, and Chacha is not their opponent." Lao Ke was a little worried.
"It's fine, it's fine." Shao Xuan said.
He didn't lie, Chacha did have a lot of crazy ideas, much better than Caesar, and rarely suffered any losses.
Looking at Caesar who followed Shao Xuan from the training ground, Lao Ke was silent for a while, and then asked, "You trained Caesar like this, and you want to take him out in the future?"
Shao Xuan nodded and said, "I want to take it to hunt next year."
"Really take Caesar?" Lao Ke was at a loss.
Although Caesar has been trained better and better by Shao Xuan over the past year, and he has learned how to cooperate, but in the real hunting ground, there are too many unpredictable factors, any of which will have irreversible effects.
"It's just a plan. I heard that Uncle Mai said that he might be tracking some more difficult-to-find prey next year. I suggested to Uncle Mai, and he said he would consider it carefully. However, when the time comes, Caesar will have to behave in front of them." Although the hunting team Mai can be the master of the matter, and others will not directly refute even if they have different opinions after the decision, but Shao Xuan still hopes to let everyone understand Caesar's ability.
After hunting with the team so many times, Shao Xuan also knew that some special prey were difficult to track down. If there was Caesar with a sharper sense of smell, the result would be different.
Now Caesar has no problem in terms of speed, reflexes and adaptability, Shao Xuan is still in the process of further training.
Caesar's body is about the size of a wolf in the mountains, but he doesn't have that murderous aura. Now everyone in the tribe is not afraid of him.
Now that Shao Xuan has made a decision, Lao Ke does not intend to interfere any more, "Even if the training is not done well now, when the hunting stops in winter, you will have more time to train it."
"Winter," Shao Xuan said, looking at a few ordinary-looking leaves on the wooden shelf, "I can't be idle in winter."
He wanted to learn some knowledge about medicinal herbs from Wu, and he also mentioned it when he was asked by Wu to talk alone. He didn't know whether such skills could be taught to people, so he only mentioned it tentatively and euphemistically once, and Wu agreed. .
The use of medicinal herbs, many people in the advance team know about it, but they don’t know much about it, and other people in the tribe don’t seem to have mentioned similar issues. They probably think that it is enough to believe in witches, and they can ask for help when needed. , they don't need to spend time learning by themselves, or they feel that only Wu can learn such advanced skills, and other people can't achieve that level.
When Shao Xuan proposed to learn about medicinal herbs, Wu was very happy, but Shao Xuan did not have much time on weekdays, so Wu Cai let him go up the mountain when the hunting stopped in winter.
Therefore, Shao Xuan will say that winter will also be busy.
