Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Witch's Blessing
The next day, Shao Xuan went directly up the mountain with the animal skin bag, and it was always good to raise birds and say hello to the witch.
There is chirping in the animal skin bag, and this goods has been put in the animal skin bag too many times, and I am used to it, and I have not kept calling.
The people on the mountain are already very familiar with Shao Xuan, and every time they see Shao Xuan and someone takes the initiative to say hello, Shao Xuan also responds with a smile, whether these people are from the other side of the tower or from the other side's camp.
"It's coming. ”
Wu had already been waiting in the stone house, and the smile on his face after seeing Shao Xuan was a little deeper, and his old face was even more wrinkled.
However, not everyone can get such an attitude as Wu, not to mention, Shao Xuan is not very old now, and he is almost the only one among the juniors in the tribe who can be treated like this.
Needless to say, Shao Xuan walked in directly and sat on the straw mat.
"Wow!"
When Shao Xuan sat down, there was a chirp in the animal skin bag, probably realizing the unfamiliar environment around him, and the animal skin bag was next to the straw mat, so he screamed a little uneasily.
From the moment Shao Xuan entered the house, Wu's eyes swept over the animal skin bag, and now when he heard the voice, his originally smiling face showed a look of doubt.
Shao Xuan reached out and pulled out the chirp in the bag.
Compared to when it first came out of the shell ten days ago, Shao Xuan couldn't wrap it with one hand now.
"This is ......" Wu stared at the young bird in Shao Xuan's hand.
"The eggs I brought back last time. Shao Xuan told the cause and effect, "So I want to try domestication." The so-called trained Caesar, trained chirping. ”
Wu Hung: "......"
Seeing that there were still some doubts on Wu's face, Shao Xuan hurriedly said: "No, I mean, a good dog that has been trained, and a falcon that has been trained." Lao Ke said that chirping may be a more aggressive bird, I want to train and try, and when the time comes, it can also assist in hunting, even if you can't take it to hunt, it can also play a high-altitude observation role in the tribe. ”
Wu lowered his eyelids, but his face did not show much change, and he still asked calmly, "If you fail?"
"Slaughtered. This Shao Xuan didn't hesitate, this is the rule here.
Disobedient, either die or throw. Generally speaking, the tribesmen are more inclined to the former, slaughtering directly, crisply, neatly, not indecisively, they are not so delicate and emotional, and they act more rough and wild.
"Good. Wu smiled again, deeper than Shao Xuan's smile when he entered the door just now. Looks like he's in a good mood.
"Lift it up and I'll take a look. Wu said.
Shao Xuan stretched out the bird he was holding in his hand in front of Wu, so that Wu could observe better. The other hand is to prevent this guy from pecking people with a temper, and the person in front of him is one of the two people with the highest landing position, even faintly surpassing the leader, and he can't let it offend people. If it had pecked the witch, the tribesmen would not have allowed it to be kept.
However, to Shao Xuan's surprise, he was very obedient today, except for the fact that he didn't call after he first came, and now he doesn't look like he wants to peck people.
Wu quietly looked at the young bird in front of him that still had a circle of fluffy hair, and Chirp also quietly looked at the person in front of him.
In the middle of the night, Wu raised his hand like dead tree bark and brought over a palm-sized stone plate on the low table next to him, which contained some black powder. The other hand stretched out the index and middle fingers, dipped them in the black powder, twisted the thumb over the black powdered index and middle fingers, and then bent the four fingers except the thumb, and raised the hand to reach out to the chirping.
The thumb stained with black powder clicked on the chirping bird's head, and the fingers left a little bit, and the brown and gray fluff was suddenly stained with a lot of black, but the chirp did not avoid it, still staring at Wu, very obedient, and Shao Xuan was amazed, this product has not been so peaceful since it came out of the shell.
No matter what Wu meant by doing this, Shao Xuan knew that Wu had approved him and agreed that Shao Xuan would try to domesticate it in the tribe first. Moreover, after being "blessed" by the witch, even if the tweet does not stay well in the tribe in the future, no one will slaughter it, and even if it chooses to throw it far away, no one dares to kill it.
After Wu put down the stone plate, he did not stop there, but took out a patterned card, the same as Caesar's original pattern, and handed it to Shao Xuan. Obviously, this is for the chirp.
Even more so than the importance of Caesar, this is a double guarantee!
Shao Xuan didn't understand, it was just that such a bird, who didn't know the future and might be reduced to a reserve of food, could it be that Wu could be so valued! Could it be that Wu could predict the future and see the potential of chirping?
It's a pity that when the witch pretends to be mysterious, no one can pry words out of his mouth, and no one dares.
People who seem to be about to enter the ground always make people feel awe-inspired.
Throwing the chirp back into the animal skin bag, Shao Xuan bowed to the witch as a token of gratitude. With Wu's consent, it will naturally be much more convenient to act in the tribe with chirp in the future.
The matter of chirping was solved, Wu also got to the point, and asked Shao Xuan about the hunting in the green space, Shao Xuan said it selectively, but this time he said a little more, and mentioned the fact that he "vaguely" saw the shadow of the green thief.
Shao Xuan didn't think that he could hide it from Wu for a lifetime, he would still stay in the tribe for a long time, maybe he would stay here for the rest of his life, and he didn't have anything to rely on, because of the tower, Shao Xuan would not put his hope on the leader. Besides, what if Ta Zhen becomes the next leader, what if he wants to put on small shoes for himself? It's not that Shao Xuan is psychologically dark, but after this hunt, he feels that he really won't get along with Ta much, the tribe doesn't have any human rights, and everything is a matter of the first word. If the boss says you're wrong, you're wrong, and won't give you any chance to explain.
And after these years of observation, Shao Xuan would rather believe in Wu, the so-called spiritual leader of the tribe, although the development of this isolated tribe is not too good, but there is no Yan zhòng deformity, this is all the credit of their generations of Wu, I believe that the next Wu will not be bad.
Saying more and more each time can gradually make Wu have a spectrum in his heart.
After listening to Shao Xuan's story quietly, Wu didn't ask anything, but handed Shao Xuan two medicine bags with a kind face, "One is for recuperation, and the other is a medicine bag mixed with green thieves, both packets are drunk as much as possible, especially those of green thieves, don't leave them for a long time." ”
After carefully putting the two medicine bags away, Shao Xuan heard Wu ask again, "Who are you going to follow next time you hunt?"
"I was also about to tell you that the next hunt, I want to talk to Uncle Mai and them. Shao Xuan said.
After the tower came back, he didn't kick Shao Xuan away from the advance team, probably because he changed his mind and wanted to continue to stay with Shao Xuan next time, but Shao Xuan was unwilling, he wanted to follow them more, so that he could get a better opportunity to practice, and if he was with the advance team, Shao Xuan couldn't keep up with their pace, and he couldn't solve the problem with a lasso every time. Maybe after hearing Shao Xuan's answer, Ta will feel that Shao Xuan doesn't know what to do, and his impression of Shao Xuan is even worse.
But so what?
Shao Xuan didn't want to go in just as an ornament, and the hunt could only be done on the side, looking at him, he didn't want to go through it again.
"yes, I see. Wu nodded.
With the word Wu, Shao Xuan doesn't have to worry about anything else. Ta didn't even dare to fart in front of Wu, let alone refute it, even if he Laozi, the leader of the tribe, Ao, would not directly refute Wu's decision.
When leaving, Shao Xuan saluted Wu again. The more he learned, the more Shao Xuan felt that such an old man was indeed worthy of admiration. It doesn't matter whether it's brainwashed or not.
When he went down the mountain, Shao Xuan deliberately walked to Mai and Langga's side and asked if the bird eggs they ate were in the same situation as chirping, but in the end, the answer he got was that like other bird eggs, chirping was a complete exception.
"You actually hatched an egg!!" Lang Ga exclaimed.
Shao Xuan: "......" always feels that this sounds unpleasant.
Lang Ga looked surprised, pulled Shao Xuan's animal skin bag over, opened it and looked inside, and put his hand in to catch the chirp out and take a closer look, this bird was "blessed" by the witch!
As soon as Lang Ga's hand reached in, he was pecked hard.
If it weren't for his thick skin, he would have been replaced by other people who had not awakened the power of the totem, and he would have bled after this peck.
"This bird is fierce enough, better than Caesar. Obviously, Langga's standard of "good" is the same as that of snorting.
For most people in the tribe, whether it is a beast or a fierce beast, the more fierce the better, the more fierce, and the more fulfilling it is when slaughtered.
"By the way, Ah Xuan, check your house after you go back, the rainy season is coming, although your house is healthy this year, it is better to check carefully, and prepare more dry wood at home. ”
Rainy season?
Shao Xuan thought about this time last year, and it was true, the rainy season was coming
