Chapter 148: Treasures
Shao Xuan knew that the people of the tribe would have a great curiosity about things that fell from the outside, but people like Lei, who usually looked like "Boss Wu, my second child" and always had a strict face, would be so excited.
The wings of his nose fluttered, his nostrils dilated, his breathing became rapid, each time heavier than the last, and his old face swollen red.
"This ...... This is ......."
The torturer carefully picked up the stone and looked at it carefully, this age, whether it was hunting or polishing stone tools, was much more than most of the tribe, he could naturally see that the time for this stone to be polished was not too long, maybe only a few years, at most only ten years.
However, since this stone is not left by the ancestors, where did it come from?!
Thinking of Wu hurriedly coming over, if it was for a mere kid under the mountain, it really shouldn't be. Then, the main purpose of Wu coming over is naturally this stone.
Thinking of this, the only thing he wants to know now is the origin of this stone, no matter what the quota of thirty people is, what opens up new routes, or what competition between the two sides!
Wu sat there, not as anxious as before, although his breathing was still a little unsteady, and his hand holding the cane was still a little shaky, but his face had returned to the calm and profound appearance of his usual day.
"That's why I'm here. Wu said.
When Xing unconsciously tilted his body towards Wu and pricked up his ears to listen carefully, Wu said slowly in a slightly trembling voice: "Ah Xuan, tell the old torturer how you got this stone. ”
Xing was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he looked at Shao Xuan, and Wu's words made him stunned.
What, this stone was obtained by Ah Xuan?!Where did he get it?
No, this kid has been gone for almost a year!
"You, say it quickly!" In the face of Shao Xuan, the punishment did not have such a good tone, the uncontrollable urgency and the habitual style of speech in the past made people sound like they were interrogating, and those eyes were like two sharp knives, eager to poke you.
However, Shao Xuan didn't care about the tone of the punishment, Wu was here, and he couldn't help it.
"Here's the thing......"
Shao Xuan briefly explained the origin of the stone, because he was so anxious to see the punishment, he omitted a lot, and only focused on how he got the stone.
"Back to ...... It's 'back' to the tribe!" Xing's eyes were red, he looked at Wu, and said, "You came here, you want to be sure, right?"
Wu nodded, "So, I hope you can take that thing out and take a look." ”
Taking a heavy breath, the torturer put the stone in his hand back carefully, as if he was dealing with fragile objects, every subtle movement, he was extremely cautious, and he was afraid that he would accidentally damage a corner of this stone.
If the criminals knew that the punishment that was usually vigorous and resolute and extremely strong in means also had such a soft attitude, they would probably drop their jaws in shock.
The torture room was about 20 square meters, in addition to a stone table, several wooden chairs and a bed, there was also a particularly large stone jar, in which other large and small boxes were placed.
Half-kneeling on the ground, Xing opened the stone jar, stretched out his hands, and took out a stone box inside, also carefully, every movement seemed to be after careful consideration.
Shao Xuan also noticed that when Xing looked at the stone box he was holding, his eyes were full of reverence, and his emotions were very warm, and his original knife-like eyes were staring at the stone box intently at the moment, as if everything around him was nothing.
Carefully place the stone box on the table and open the stone box.
Shao Xuan stretched his neck and looked inside, and inside, there was a box.
Between the large and small boxes, there are some wood chips, apparently to act as a cushioning protection.
The torturer took out the small box and carefully wiped off the wood chips and debris outside, which was so gentle that it was two extremes from beating people usually.
Open the lid.
Inside, there are also some sawdust, and the things in the middle are wrapped in thick animal skins, Shao Xuan has been hunting for so long, so he can naturally see the quality of this animal skin at a glance, it is the skin of a high-level fierce beast.
Generally, the fur on the body of high-level fierce beasts is very hard, but there are also relatively soft places, but they are relatively rare.
The fine stones, special wood chips, and this rare animal skin were all to protect the thing inside, which made Shao Xuan's curiosity even more and stared at the action of the punishment.
Xing carefully and attentively took out the contents inside, opened the wrapped animal skin, and the items that were protected inside were suddenly presented in front of Shao Xuan's eyes.
Shao Xuan stared at the table, the thing that was eagerly watched by both torture and witches, treated like an extremely precious treasure, blinked, blinked, and looked over again.
Shao Xuan didn't know what kind of expression he should come up with to express his mood at the moment, he only felt that a group of dinosaur cranes in his heart ran over and ran over with their mouths smashed.
Prior to this, seeing the attitude of Wu and Xing, based on what they said, it was deduced that there might be something outside the punishment here, and it was extremely precious, so Shao Xuan thought that it was probably a rare treasure, such as those ice cubes that he had seen from the mountains near Eagle Mountain, or the skin and silk of white worms, or something like fire crystals, or even something more rugged, such as a certain part of a higher-level fierce beast, and the people of the tribe loved to treasure that.
But I don't want to, I will watch such a ...... Something unexpected.
The item that was treated with caution was a clay pot, and moreover, it was faience.
There were paintings on the clay pot, similar in style to the stone he had brought back, each with a whirlpool of curls
Seeing Shao Xuan staring blankly at the clay pot on the table, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"I haven't seen it!" said Xing smirked.
Shao Xuan: "......"
"Look stupid!" the torture continued to smirk.
Shao Xuan: "......"
"This is a treasure handed down from my ancestors, something that came from the outside, it is not made of stone!" Xing felt that Shao Xuan, a kid under the mountain, had no knowledge, and probably didn't know the preciousness of this clay pot, because the tribe had not succeeded in making a pottery until now, even if there were animal skin rolls for making zuò pottery handed down by the ancestors, but none of them had succeeded.
Later, the things left over from thousands of years ago naturally became the priceless treasures of the tribe, and they carried too many unspeakable and undisclosed secrets of the tribe, and the homes of the people who kept the clay pots naturally formed a sense of superiority.
Although these clay pots are very fragile, and although they don't give the totem warriors much strength benefit, even so, even if someone else takes out the most powerful beast, they won't trade it out!
"Like that one, there are also treasures handed down from the ancestors, and it is also a clay pot, but unfortunately, there is no painting on the clay pot in their house, it is very ugly, next to my family's clay pot, oops, it is the difference between a fragile herbivore and a fierce meat eater!"
In the hearts of the tribesmen, those animals that are not strong and vegetarian are cowards, and they don't look down on them, but those carnivorous beasts with fierce looks and bloodthirsty personalities are not, they are strong, real strong people in the mountains and forests. For the strong, they will always look up to them.
Shao Xuan: "......" This old man is almost cocking his tail proudly! The smile on that old face, no matter how strict it is, can't hide it, makes people want to punch it.
It's no wonder that when I listened to the gossip of the tribe's top leaders in the past, I always heard the quarrels between the torture and other old men. In addition to the reason for his style, it is probably because of this painted pottery of his family. It's a sense of superiority.
Shao Xuan opened his mouth, but he really didn't know what to say. Presumably, this is the difference between non-indigenous and indigenous.
Shao Xuan observed the clay pot, the painting on the clay pot, with a natural factor, those simple lines, like clouds, like the wind, in addition, there is a human face, but each stroke is painted with swirling curly lines, it looks like an exaggerated sense, the painter consciously abstractly transformed the human pattern, the color of the line is red, brown, brown three, decorated around the pottery in the way of painting.
This is not only a formal beauty for the tribal people, but more importantly, these paintings also contain totemic images involving tribal witchcraft rituals, giving people a sense of peculiarity. This is also a sign of the identification of the tribe, and when you see the pattern drawn in this style, you will know which tribe produced it.
As I said just now, this is something produced by a tribe called "Hui", so the ancestors of the tribe back then had diplomacy with the "Hui" tribe?
Wu looked at the non-stop punishment again, smiled bitterly and shook his head, once it comes to this painted pottery, the punishment will always be like this, and it is completely different from usual.
After talking for a while, seeing that no one from the other two responded, Xing thought of the stone that Shao Xuan took out, closed his mouth stupidly, and thought of the pattern on the stone just now, Xing carefully picked up the clay pot, and let Shao Xuan and Wu look at a pattern on the bottom of the clay pot, which was exactly the same pattern as the stone.
"It should be the 'Hui' tribe. Torture sighed. Once, he always thought that the outer fall mentioned by the ancestors was too far away from his own tribe, so far away that it was difficult to encounter one for thousands of years, and even, except for the old objects left by the ancestors, there were no other new things from the outside tribe.
I didn't think that I could see one today, does this mean that in his lifetime, his old man may also see things from other tribes like the "Hui" tribe, or, people?
Thinking about it, the punishment is unbearable. His eyes eagerly looked at Wu, wanting to get a definite answer from Wu, at least, to have an expectation. Wu is the wisest person in the tribe, if anyone can solve this big problem, except for Wu, there is no one else.
"I have an idea. Wu told Xing what he had thought about flying out of the tribe through guò chirping.
Listening carefully to Wu's words, he couldn't help nodding his head, "Yes, there are indeed many obstacles in the mountains and forests, if you can fly over, it would be good." ”
Shao Xuan listened to the discussion of witch and punishment, and interjected: "Actually, you can try to cross from that big river." ”
The two of them, who were thinking about how to fly over the mountain swamp, looked at Shao Xuan at the same time. R1152
