Chapter 14: The Stone Toolmaster

Early the next morning, before the sun came out, all the children in the cave woke up, and some of them probably didn't sleep well during the night, and their eyes were all black.

Moore was woken up and puzzled, something he hadn't encountered in the cave before. Yesterday, I practiced knife and slaughtered a few night swallows, and there were a few more wounds on my arms, of different depths, and I had already smeared herbs.

Doubts to doubts, Moore still stood up, carrying the knife on his back, waiting for the next thing, he was now the other five children in the cave together, holding straw ropes and pieces of black things, huddled at the entrance of the cave and didn't know what they were discussing, looking at Shao Xuan expectantly from time to time.

"The sun is out! The weather must be nice today, and we can go fishing." A child looked at the sun in the sky and said.

"But yesterday was such a good weather, it's not that you can't fish, will it be the same today as yesterday?" said another child, pouring cold water.

Most of the children in the cave couldn't listen to this kind of unlucky words, and they all glared at the child who had just said "the same as yesterday".

Regardless of whether you can fish today or not, you still have to eat breakfast, otherwise you won't have the strength to work. Since there is an entry, Shao Xuan eats something every morning, at first there are children who are reluctant to eat, but when fishing, they wilt and have no strength, and the efficiency is not as good as others, and the next day he set up a stone pot with Shao Xuan, no way, no strength, no strength, no strength, no work, no work, no work means less prey than others, will be more hungry, this is a vicious circle.

Eat and drink to your heart's content, and feel refreshed.

Looking at Moore's actions, there shouldn't be a big problem, Shao Xuan called him to go fishing together. The few Nightswallows that Mohr had slaughtered yesterday were contributed to the group for breakfast, and the rest of the group softened their attitude towards Mohr a lot.

All the people in the cave left, no one guarded it, the things in the cave Shao Xuan was not afraid of being stolen, the straw rope and those black pieces that could float on the surface of the water were all carried, as for the fish, the people of the tribe would not come to steal the food of the children in the cave, otherwise they would be severely punished and spurned by the entire tribe, so even if the fish was left outside to dry, no one would come to get it. In addition to these, there is nothing in the cave that can attract people from the tribe, and there is no need to send people to guard it, Caesar is all taken by Shao Xuan.

Today's river surface is also very calm, but it is not as eerily quiet as yesterday, looking at the flickering waves on the water surface, Shao Xuan's heart is a little calm. Greet Stammering and Tu Tie the straw rope to the stone worm and bring it over, and throw a stone worm first.

There were more than twenty children standing behind Shao Xuan, staring at the stone insects that were thrown into the water without blinking, and staring nervously at the black blocks floating on the surface of the water when they couldn't see the stone insects.

"Ah Xuan, how's it going?"

"It should be alright, right?"

"Is the fish back?"

The person who couldn't help but asked in a whisper.

Shao Xuan stared at the surface of the water, he didn't "see" those aquatic creatures with tentacles today, and the trembling of the black block also returned to the previous amplitude, it was the underwater stone worm struggling.

"I shouldn't have asked......" Shao Xuan's words were interrupted by the situation on the water before he could finish his words.

The black block that had been floating on the surface of the water suddenly sank, and there was a familiar pulling sensation on the rope. Shao Xuan was overjoyed, and he stammered the straw rope in his hand tightly, and quickly pulled it back.

"There are fish!"

"It's fish!!"

"The fish are back!!"

Seeing this, the other children jumped on the spot happily, and when the familiar hideous faces in the water were fully revealed, the twenty or so children finally completely relieved themselves.

It's only been a day, and I miss it so much, the straw rope in my hand is already unbearable, and after Shao Xuan's signal, these little cubs began to fish skillfully in groups of five.

"Mor, you are with them, Tu you tell him what to pay attention to, I will take Caesar to dig up stone worms, the few that I dug just now are far from enough. Remember, don't go into the water, don't fight, it's better to pull a few more fish when you have that time to fight, hurry up, winter will come in a few days. If it's not right now, go find the warriors guarding over there. Shao Xuan said the latter words to the others standing on the bank of the river.

In fact, there is no need for Shao Xuanduo to instruct, these children cherish today's opportunity after yesterday's events, and none of them know if those fish will leave tomorrow, so it is better to catch more fish, who has the leisure to fight?

While the children who came out of the cave were busy pulling fish, some people who lived near the foot of the mountain came here to catch fish with them.

This kind of situation has been common recently, and the soldiers guarding it are not like before when they nervously run over to warn someone when they see someone near the water, but now they just sit not far away and watch, and tell them not to get too close to the water every once in a while, and inform them in time when something is wrong, etc.

I have to say that these fish, indeed solve some people's urgent needs, near the foot of the mountain area there are a few families in the area of the mountain when they were injured when they go out to hunt, the last time before the winter can not participate, do not go out to hunt, there is less food, winter is difficult, the family is also anxious, and now, they are much easier. Who would have thought that these guys in the water would be so good at hunting, and even the old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe could come and help.

And after these things, Shao Xuan is also well known to people in the area near the foot of the mountain, in the past, everyone only remembered that there was a child who took a wolf to hang around every day, but now because of the fish, he has to make a deal with Shao Xuan in exchange for the kind of black block that can float on the water, and finally remember Shao Xuan's name. I heard that Shao Xuan wanted to change the animal skin, it didn't matter if it was old or new, he cleaned up the animal skin that was not needed at home for the time being, and rushed to exchange it with Shao Xuan.

When Shao Xuan came to the gravel field, there were already seven or eight people there, and when he saw Shao Xuan, these people also said hello to Shao Xuan, and heard Shao Xuan say that he could pull fish by the river today, and his eyes staring at the ground became more eager, and he couldn't wait to quickly copy the old nest of the underground stone worm and take it to the river to lure fish.

Recently, the stone insects in the gravel field have been hit by seedlings, and they are dug out by the people who rush up to the ground when they nod their heads slightly, and they simply cut off half of themselves to escape, and if they don't, they can only be torn out of the ground by the whole person. In the past, even if they crawled out of the ground and squirmed slowly in front of people, no one would take a second look, but now, let alone outcropping, even if the gravel on the ground moves a little, someone will go over to dig to see if there are stone insects underneath, and pull them out when they see it.

However, compared to Caesar, these people were much less efficient. The gravel digger looked at Caesar and sniffed around twice to make a one, and his eyes were hot.

What a wolf's nose!

Some people also pondered weaving a big net with a straw rope to catch fish, but it turned out that this trick was not good, and a net could indeed catch a lot, but before it could be pulled up, the net was scrambled by those fish to bite through, and when the net was withdrawn, there was not a single fish in the bitten net. As a last resort, everyone still uses this troublesome method, one by one.

In the afternoon, the children fishing by the river were called back to the cave by Shao Xuan to eat the food distributed by the tribe, and they didn't want to continue to nest in the cave to weave straw ropes

Shao Xuan didn't object, but he didn't go with him in the afternoon, and the stone insects had already caught a lot in the morning and were assigned to five groups, which was enough for them.

Look at the moon last night, winter is coming soon, they have to catch a little more fish before the winter comes, once winter comes, the outdoor temperature plummets, and the river near the river bank will freeze, at that time people who do not awaken the power of the totem will basically not go out of the house, they can't bear the wind and snow, and they don't have thick fur clothes, and they are easy to freeze to death when they go out.

Shao Xuan did not follow the children to the river, but carried two fish out of the cave. Shao Xuan pulled one, and let Caesar drag one. There was also an animal skin bag on his body, and the bag contained the slightly better stones that Shao Xuan picked up some time ago when he went to the training ground, because there were more and more people digging stone insects in the gravel field, Shao Xuan transferred the stones, and now the cave is different, and the little cubs who put the stones next to him did not dare to rob them.

Every time he picked up a good stone embryo that could be used to make tools, Shao Xuan would take it to exchange food with the stoneman, and the person who chose to exchange was also fixed.

This stonecraftman's name is Ke, I heard that he was in charge of setting traps in the hunting team back then, but he lost a leg in a hunt, quit the hunting team, and became a stonecrafter near the foot of the mountain, usually helping people make stone tools to make a living.

Shao Xuan dragged the fish to a wooden house, many of the surrounding houses had no doors, but were only covered by thick leather curtains or straw curtains woven by plants and vines, and the same was true here. Shao Xuan could hear the sound of grinding stone tools inside, so he shouted "Uncle Ke".

The people inside didn't respond, but the obscured leather curtain shook a little, which was actually telling you that the owner of the house had allowed you to go in. If you go directly to lift the curtain without permission, Shao Xuan can't lift it, many things here look simple, but it's actually more complicated than nearby residents' houses, the curtains of other people's houses can be lifted directly, but it won't work when you get here, if you force in, the unlucky one must be you.

Even if he is missing a leg, but in any case, Ke was responsible for the hunting team to make traps, and the skills he should have are still there.
