Chapter 269: Divination

After that, Shao Xuan didn't use the straw ropes provided by Gui Ze, which was too wasteful. He practiced knotting rope using ordinary straw rope, although it was rough and burrgy, but it was not distressing if it was broken, and it was burned as firewood if it could not be untied.

For five consecutive days, in addition to patrolling and hunting, Shao Xuan spent all the rest of his time trying to knot ropes.

Lao Ke didn't quite understand the reason why Shao Xuan was so obsessed with playing with straw ropes, but since Shao Xuan insisted, he didn't say anything, and the waste grass balls, no matter how big or small, were fished out as firewood.

Failed again, Shao Xuan was a little discouraged, took down the grass ball that bound his fingers, threw it aside, picked up the gourd filled with water and poured a few sips.

It's just a rope, tired and sweaty, but this is much better than the previous days, you can go out and run twice a whole day, if it's the first two days, it's almost the same to be able to walk, don't talk about running.

After taking a break, Shao Xuan ran to Wu's stone house and talked about his troubles in knotting the rope.

"It just doesn't feel right, and every time I hit it, I tie my hands. Shao Xuan said.

Wu was silent for a long time and said, "If that's the case, you don't have to think about it all the time, it's better to be casual." You don't have to be obsessed with imitating the movements of those hands, you can have your own ideas. ”

Shao Xuan thought about it, too, anyway, that thing is in his head, and he can't figure it out now, so he will try it later. How does that saying come from, "When necessary, you have to learn to lack the eyes of the heart."

Someone once said that people who lack hearts and eyes are actually very smart, because they can always do something that others can't do.

Comprehending that inheritance is not an overnight thing, and it is not in a hurry, but it affects the mentality.

"I see. Shao Xuan thanked him seriously.

Seeing Shao Xuan like this, Wu nodded with satisfaction, and was about to praise a few words. I heard Shao Xuan say again: "In two days, I plan to go to the mountains and forests for a walk, it may be a little far, and I shouldn't be able to come back within three or five days." Chirp seems to have found a nice stone over there, and I wanted to go over and take a look. ”

Wu's heart chuckled, and he brought it up again. "Just you?"

Now the hunting team is not hunting far away, but conservatively exploring little by little. What they are seeking now is stability, and by the way, they will also train the new batch of fighters who have awakened this year. But since Shao Xuan said that he was going to go far away and couldn't come back for three or five days, Wu was a little worried.

If it were someone else, Wu would not be like this, but now the person in front of him is Shao Xuan, it is difficult to find such an elder who has inherited the will of the ancestors with a light bone ornament, Wu is a little hesitant. But still nodded.

"Yes, be careful yourself, don't rush into work, don't rush in!" Wu admonished.

"I know, don't worry. Shao Xuan promised.

Wu was so sad when he heard this that he wanted to take off all his beards.

Two days later, Shao Xuan sat on the back of the chirp with polished stone tools and food. Leave the tribe.

A day after flying away from the tribe, Shao Xuan walked directly through the forest. The chirping in the sky also needs to be on guard against other flying birds that suddenly appear, and Shao Xuan doesn't want to get in the way of the air.

Walking in the unfamiliar woods, this is not the border area when the tribe entered the mountains and forests, this has gone deep into the mountains and forests.

The surroundings are treacherous, years of hunting experience, and a premonition that they are stronger than others. made Shao Xuan very sensitive to the hostile sights around him, even if he didn't have any murderous aura and just paid attention to Shao Xuan, in this forest, as long as the other party walked within a certain range, Shao Xuan could immediately become alert.

The woods here are very humid. As if with a mist, the mountains in the distance became hazy and looming. Here, even a small beast and a low mountain are very dangerous.

Further on, into another wood. The tall and dense branches blocked the light above, and the place where Shao Xuan walked looked very gloomy. A hostile roar sounded not far away, I don't know what kind of beast it was, they hid behind the thick grass among the trees, staring at Shao Xuan's wild eyes, braving a dim fierce light.

If it is on the other side of the river, the wild beasts will run away when they see the people of the hunting party, because they know that these people are not easy to deal with, and they will seek death if they go up themselves. However, in this strange forest, these wild beasts in the forest do not know about humans, and they are wary of any strange things, and at the same time, they also treat them as prey, not only will not run away, but will also try to attack.

The figure that leaped from behind the grass, accompanied by the low roar of the beast, announced the beginning of the fight.

The low roar of the beast became sharp and terrifying, the sound of abrupt stopping, the movement of the blade splitting through the flesh, the splashing liquid, the scattered blood. When Shao Xuan restrained the murderous aura in his eyes and came out with a blood-stained knife, only blood-stained beast corpses remained in the forest.

As soon as Shao Xuan left, less than ten steps away, some much smaller beasts rushed out, not at Shao Xuan, but at the corpse of the beast that had been cut in half, they screamed and fought for food, and if they couldn't grab it, they bit each other, and they didn't look at Shao Xuan much. However, it won't be long before the pungent smell of blood dissipates and other beasts will come over to drive away these small beasts and rob the carcasses.

After flying for a day and walking for a day, Shao Xuan looked at the sky, the sun was already hidden under the mountain peaks, and he planned to find a place to rest.

Chirp fights a clawed beast that lives in a cliff cave, drives the beast out of the cave, and then joins forces with Shao Xuan to make dinner with the beast.

There are a lot of animal bones piled up in the cave, with the smell of decay, and there are many large and small insects crawling around, Shao Xuan lit a torch to expel these insects, as for those animal bones, they were all lifted out of the cave.

It can be used as a temporary rest point, and if you come back later, you can rest here.

Shao Xuan took out the animal skin, roughly drew the places he passed along the way, and then specially marked the place where the hole was located. This time, in addition to looking for the stone, he will also draw a rough map of the places he passes by, so as to facilitate the exploration and hunting of the people in the hunting team behind.

After applying medicine to the wound and applying some to Chirp, Shao Xuan extinguished the fire and seized the time to rest.

When I woke up the next day, it was a little gloomy outside, and when I stood at the entrance of the cave and looked out, the forest below was filled with a damp vapor.

"It looks like it's going to rain. Shao Xuan said.

Chirp doesn't like the rain very much, so he plans to stay in the cave and go out when the weather clears. It has been here many times and knows that the weather here changes quickly, and now that it is raining, it may not be long before it clears up.

Eat the little beast meat that was roasted yesterday for breakfast, the beast meat has become cold and hard, Shao Xuan didn't care at all, and looked at the sky outside while eating.

"I don't know when this rain will fall. Shao Xuan walked a little into the cave, just in case it rained later, the wind here was very strong, maybe the rain would blow in.

When he was sitting in the cave, Shao Xuan saw the rope tied around his waist, and his hands were a little itchy. He hadn't touched the rope for two days, and he was idle anyway, so he took out the rope that was in the leather bag, cut it off with a knife, and played with it in his hand. These ropes in the leather pouch were carried as a spare, and as for the "trouser belt" around the waist, of course, it could not be untied.

Just as he was about to tie the rope according to the previous method, thinking of Wu's words, Shao Xuan stopped again. If you follow the previous way of knotting the rope, the result must be the same, and in the end, you will tie your hands and get a chaotic grass ball.

Sighing heavily, Shao Xuan closed his eyes, put aside those previous memories, and just used the rope to wrap aimlessly around his hand, gradually, Shao Xuan also lost the mind of knotting the rope, thinking, when the rain will fall, the rain in the forest, once it rains, will go fast. This season, it doesn't rain every day. It's just that if this gloomy day doesn't go down, then don't you have to wait?

Thinking about it, Shao Xuan seemed to see the hands again, as well as the rope wrapped around his hands, and the rope moved quickly between his fingers. However, this time, the way of knotting the rope is different, and the feeling for Shao Xuan is not so chaotic, and it seems to have a strong purpose.

This time, Shao Xuan did not distract himself, but concentrated and paid attention to the knotted rope movements on his hands. And Shao Xuan's hands are also unconsciously following the movements, exactly the same as the movements of the knotted hands in his mind!

I don't know how long it has been, when Shao Xuan broke away from that state, opened his eyes, and looked at his hand, he was shocked to find that the rope on his hand had been knotted several times, instead of tying all his fingers like a few days ago.

It worked?

Or still failing?

Compared with the basic conclusions he learned before, Shao Xuan speculated about the meaning of these ropes and knots in his hands. Just now, what were you thinking about when you knotted the rope yourself?

Hunting? No, it's not.

No, further on.

It's raining? yes, it's raining!

Thinking of this, Shao Xuan's face was strange and a little excited. If the meaning of these epilogues is true......

Whether it succeeds or fails again, you have to verify to know.

Looking at the sky outside, Shao Xuan stood up, walked to the edge of the cave, took a deep breath, felt the humid and cold moisture in the air, clenched his fists, stretched out his hand, and pointed his fist upward.

Silently counting the time in my heart.

Five......

The fist opens and the little finger is extended.

Four......

The ring finger is extended.

Three......

The middle finger is extended.

Two......

The index finger is extended.

One!

The thumb is extended and the palm is open.

Syllable!

There was a soft sound of liquid landing.

The palm is slightly cool.

Shao Xuan couldn't wait to look over, and then smiled and froze.

A puddle of bird droppings, lying quietly in the center of the palm.

Smoking the dough, Shao Xuan was about to wipe off the bird feces in the palm of his hand, and was about to withdraw his hand, when another drop of liquid dripped down.

This is followed by the second, third, and fourth......

Dense droplets of water, falling from the sky, were blown by the wind on the cliff wall, and some smashed into holes.

The woods below the mountain were instantly blocked by a rain curtain, and the sound of dense raindrops hitting the leaves and the ground came from below. (To be continued......)

PS: I've had a little cold these days, and I've been lazy for two days. Last night's update has been made up, and Thursday's will take time to make it up, as well as the previous ones.

PS: New week, ask for a ticket.
