Chapter 68: A Good Dog Is the Eyes and Ears of a Hunter
The people in the area near the foot of the mountain of the tribe know that now Lao Ke does not take the work of stone tools, and he does not know what he is doing all day, and he goes out early in the morning with a cane and sits on a wolf, and only comes back in the evening.
And Lao Ke doesn't have to change the food by himself, the food on Shao Xuan's side is enough. In Shao Xuan's words, it is called "paying tuition", and Lao Ke did not refuse after thinking about it.
One set, one broken. During this time, although Lao Ke was very tired, he was in a pretty good mood. Finally, after leaving the hunting team, he was able to show what he had learned, although it was far inferior to Cheng Dù back then, but it was enough for Shao Xuan to drink a pot.
Watching Shao Xuan being abused by those traps every day, Lao Ke smiled very happily, he was also trained like this back then, but he was not as talented as Shao Xuan back then, and he was abused for too long, so he didn't want to think about it. Therefore, Lao Ke seized the time and tried his best to let Shao Xuan feel the "mystery" in it.
Lao Ke knew that Shao Xuan's talent was too good, and maybe after a while, the traps he could set up now would no longer be enough to trap Shao Xuan. If he is still at his peak, if this leg is not wasted, at least he can pit Shao Xuan for a while.
"Alas......" Lao Ke was a little sad, but not as gloomy as he once was.
"What are you sighing for?" Shao Xuan climbed up from the bottom of the mountain with a muddy face and sat next to Lao Ke. Lao Ke took out a few more difficult ones in the past two days, just now in order to dodge the short arrows shot from the grass, his face was covered with mud, the mud seemed to know that he would arrive at that position at that point in time, it appeared in time, and Shao Xuan had no time to make a move at that moment, so he could only suffer this lump. What if, then, it wasn't mud but something else?
Shao Xuan felt that he still had something to learn.
As the hunted party, if you can see through thousands of traps at a glance, as a hunting party, you can do a set of must-kill Cheng dù, then you will be the real master.
Although many people in the tribe will think that it is useless to learn these skills, how can the hunting ground have time to set a trap for you when the time comes?
But Shao Xuan just thinks that learning this may really be of great use in the future.
After Lao Ke mercilessly criticized Shao Xuan's expression just now, he looked sideways at Shao Xuan's reaction, and saw that Shao Xuan was staring at the area below that had set a trap before, and did not have the slightest dissatisfaction and complaint because of the criticism just now, and his heart was a little calm.
Although Lao Ke has been ruthless now, he is still worried that Shao Xuan has an opinion on him, and it is rare to find such a suitable professor target, if Shao Xuan shakes his hand and says that he is not willing to learn, Lao Ke himself will definitely vomit blood.
Lao Ke told Shao Xuan that his cousin was better than Shao Xuan back then, which was based on the fact that he had studied for more than 100 days, and Shao Xuan had not exceeded 20 days until now. It's been less than 20 days......
Shao Xuan analyzed the various deficiencies that had passed the previous level in combination with Lao Ke's guidance, and Lao Ke looked up at another place on the mountain with feeling, there was no one there just now, and now there was a person standing there silently.
Tower, the leader of Shao Xuan's hunting team, the son of the current leader, one of the few high-level totem warriors in the tribe today, and a candidate for the next leader.
Lao Ke recognized the other party at a glance.
Although Lao Ke didn't have much contact with the tower, he was just a junior totem warrior like a spear at his peak, until Lao Ke was injured and quit the hunting team, and the tower was only hunting in the hunting team. However, according to the news he heard from some old friends, the tower doesn't really attach so much importance to traps, especially after entering the advance team of the hunting team, and even more, the people who were selected into the advance team by the tower rarely have good set skills, at most they are just passable.
This is a difference in understanding, and the Tao is not the same, so Lao Ke has never had a good impression of the tower.
On the tower side, Lao Ke's eyes were not very friendly.
The tower originally had the intention of pulling Shao Xuan into the advance team, of course, he just pulled it in first to give it a try, he felt that since Shao Xuan had been protected by the ancestors, he would definitely have the luck given by the ancestors. With Shao Xuan, will the results of each of his hunts be better?
Since last year, the tower's hunting results have not been very good, although in the eyes of the tribesmen, the tower is still a big beast every time it returns, but in fact, many of their tasks have not been completed, in terms of merit, not as good as another hunting team.
The big leaders of the two hunting parties are both candidates for the next leader, and they have been competing with each other, and Ta is now anxious to see each other's merits better than his own again and again. This time when he encountered the matter of the ancestors, he hit the idea on Shao Xuan, who was about the same age as his son.
Some details of the last hunt, Ta had already heard the spear say, and the more he knew, the more satisfied Ta was with Shao Xuan. At first, he only thought that Shao Xuan might not be much stronger than his son, but his night vision was stronger, plus he was lucky, but after he tried it, he knew that this kid's improvement was quite fast...... Perhaps, this is also the reason why Wu values him?
Ta didn't tell the others about Shao Xuan's ascension speed, and also let Baba and Tuo keep them secret.
Although the tribe did not have a clear rule that the newly awakened warriors could not join the advance team, they were generally selected into the advance team by some experienced fighters with at least a few years of hunting experience and a certain ability to protect themselves, and no one really recruited the newly awakened warriors into it.
The next hunt is approaching, and Ta plans to talk to Wu in the next two days, and bring this year's newly awakened warriors into the advance team, even if there is no clear rule, he will have to ask for instructions. As for the leader, that is his father, and he is naturally on his side, and he will not be stopped by anyone when the time comes.
Originally, I heard that Shao Xuan had often come to this area for training recently, and I wanted to take a look, but who knew that he was just learning what kind of trap from the old guy who had quit the hunting team, which was a waste of his great talent for improvement!
Just as Ta and Lao Ke were looking at each other with the same unfriendly gaze, Shao Xuan, who was contemplating, let out a "yo".
Ta followed Shao Xuan and Lao Ke's line of sight, and saw that the wolf that had been hung up by the witch ran from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, running so jubilantly, where did it look like a wolf?
The tower was completely blind to Caesar. In his opinion, such a wolf should have eaten it earlier, otherwise it would be a waste of food to stay. The more he thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became, Ta felt that there were too many things that he didn't agree with about what Shao Xuan had done, if he hadn't wanted to borrow the protection of his ancestors, even if Shao Xuan became an excellent middle-level warrior in the future, he might not be allowed to enter the advance team he personally managed.
Shao Xuan didn't care what others thought, he was happy with the results of his training for Caesar.
Caesar ran to Shao Xuan happily, put a palm-sized animal skin bag in his mouth in front of Shao Xuan, and then squatted next to him to ask for praise.
"Well done!" Shao Xuan praised without hesitation, and then gave Caesar a piece of beast meat that he had prepared a long time ago, as a reward for completing his mission.
"Ah Xuan, what are you?" Lao Ke wondered.
Shao Xuan poured out a few fruits from the small animal skin bag, then put the bag away, and said with a smile: "There is a good saying, 'A good dog is the eyes and ears of a hunter', I am trying to make Caesar a good dog, maybe I can help when hunting in the future." ”
Tata, who had been disappointed and was about to leave, paused when he heard this and continued to listen.
"Good dog?" said Ke, wondering.
"No matter how cunning a fox is, he can't escape the nose of a hound. Shao Xuan said.
"Hound?" asked Old Gram.
The tower also listened with his ears pricked. Using the wolf's sense of smell, he was very interested in this.
"Hounds, domesticated wolves. ”
Shao Xuan trained Caesar to learn to use his sense of smell to find things, first clothes, bones, and later fruits, and now, Shao Xuan wants Caesar to try to find something with a lighter smell.
"The wolf's nose is smart. Shao Xuan said with a smile.
"Witch taught you, this is a good idea. Lao Ke said nonchalantly.
Regarding Lao Ke's words, Shao Xuan just said "um" and did not explain again.
He actually wanted to make the painting in the cave recreate the tribe, but since someone deliberately covered it at the beginning, Shao Xuan would not say it lightly, and when he left the cave, Shao Xuan took advantage of the group of boys to go fishing, and brushed a layer of stone powder on the murals, and the windows of the stone room were also blocked with things, and no one else found out.
When he was about to go back, Shao Xuan glanced at the place where the tower was standing just now, and left with Lao Ke's toolbox after snorting.
