Chapter Ninety-Five: Intentions
After the tribe returned to normal, Shao Xuan's life also returned to its original rules.
Every twenty or thirty days, he went out to hunt, and then returned to the tribe to polish stone tools, learn trap lassoes from Lao Ke, and train Caesar and Chirp.
In a blink of an eye, more than half of the year has passed, and during this time, Shao Xuan expanded his wooden house, and under the guidance of Lao Ke, added stone to make a wooden and stone house, which is also more solid than the original wooden house. In terms of architecture, Shao Xuan is indeed inferior to Lao Ke, so all he can do is to build according to Lao Ke's guidance.
The newly built wooden and stone house is twice as large as Lao Ke's house, and there is a studio used as a stone polishing tool, Lao Ke's equipment has already been moved in, when Shao Xuan polishes the stone tools, Lao Ke sleeps in the next room, and he is not too noisy, and he wakes up and then gets up to guide Shao Xuan.
Shao Xuan went out hunting, and in addition to polishing stone tools and helping to train Caesar and chirping, Lao Ke would also sit by the window and bask in the sun in his spare time. Every time Ge came over, he looked at Lao Ke's comfortable appearance, and he was very emotional. Who would have thought a year ago that Lao Ke's life would have such a change?
Chirp grows very fast, from hatching to now, half a year has passed, and the weak chicken-like young bird that could still be supported by his hand is almost to Shao Xuan's shoulder when he looks up. The previous wooden house was too small, and Caesar and Chirp were eager to tear down the house as soon as they got into trouble, so during this expansion, Shao Xuan specially built two nests as a bird's nest and a wolf's nest.
Caesar's wolf den is close to the gate, and you can know if there is any movement, Shao Xuan completely raised it as a dog. The chirping bird's nest is a specially built bird's nest on the roof.
There is chirping, and those night swallows do not come close to the house at night, and sometimes when you wake up in the morning, you will find that there are several corpses of night swallows next to the chirping bird's nest. It doesn't eat either, and after pecking the night swallow to rot, it flies to the surface of the river to feed the fish, and then watches the big-headed piranhas scramble. This thing is not only murderous, but also very funny.
Shao Xuan always thought that the young bird needed external help to learn to fly, such as pushing it down from a high place, but in fact, there was no need for Shao Xuan to worry, this thing was restless when he first opened his eyes, and it was even more noisy when he could walk, and it was a common thing to jump down from the stone table, and when Shao Xuan reacted, it was already able to fly very well, and it flew everywhere all day long, and always teased Caesar, chased and pecked, and saw that Caesar wanted to move his real character, so he immediately flew high, so angry that Caesar could only plow the ground.
Once Shao Xuan came back from hunting and was summoned by Wu, when he took Chirp to find Wu, he met Ao, the leader who was talking to Wu.
Ao said that chirping may be a bird similar to the mountain eagle, and it is likely to be a close relative, not as big as the mountain eagle, but it is also a bird of prey, compared to other birds, it still has a size.
Shao Xuan's first thought after knowing was: Ma's, no wonder you can eat it so much!
This baby bird had a lot of food when it was a child, and it was a picky eater, but now that it is older and can fly, most of the time it still depends on Shao Xuan, and only occasionally finds some snacks to eat, because Shao Xuan does not let it run too far.
As for what the mountain peak giant eagle looks like, Shao Xuan has never seen it, and most of the people in the tribe have never seen it, I heard that far away, there is an eagle mountain there, and the mountain peak giant eagle is there.
I don't know what kind of bird the chirp is, Shao Xuan can only speculate based on the character of the giant eagle on the mountain peak that Ao said, if it is really a close relative, there will always be similarities.
It is said that the mountain peak giant eagle is very cold-blooded and cruel, even if it is related by blood, it will also fight, however, when fighting for territory, it will not engage in life and death battles, as for birds or other birds and beasts that are not related by blood, it will fight directly to the end, and after winning, it will try its best to kill the other party.
Judging from Shao Xuan's observations, Chirp is really approaching the mountain peak giant eagle, and this personality is also similar, the good thing is that because of the early contact, he has been domesticated since he was a child, and he has converged a lot.
"Found a good core again?"
Lao Ke stood by the window and saw Shao Xuan, who had returned from the training ground, carrying two big stones, and said.
"Well, it feels pretty good, you can make a few spearhead darts, and the thin stone leaves you peel off can also be made into stone needles for traps. ”
After putting the two stones in the grinding workshop and drinking some water, Shao Xuan heard a few bird chirpings in the sky outside.
Walking out of the door, Shao Xuan looked at the birds hovering in the sky above his head, raised his hand and made a gesture, and after the birds in the sky screamed, they flew away.
"Chirp going out again?" asked Old Ke.
"Yes, fortunately, it still knows that it can't fly too far, and will come back when it's time. Shao Xuan entered the room and sat down and said.
"It's still small, and after passing the range of the tribe, there are a lot of fierce birds in the sky, and chirping is no match for them. Lao Ke was a little worried.
"It's okay, it's fine. Shao Xuan said.
He didn't lie, he did have a lot of ghost ideas, much better than Caesar, and rarely suffered.
Looking at Caesar who followed Shao Xuan back from the training ground, Lao Ke was silent for a while and asked, "You trained Caesar so much, do you want to take it out in the future?"
Shao Xuan nodded and said, "I want to take it hunting next year." ”
"Really take Caesar with you?"
Although I have watched Caesar be trained better and better by Shao Xuan over the past year, and I have learned how to cooperate, but really in the hunting ground, there are too many unpredictable factors, and any point will have an irreparable impact.
"It's just that I heard Uncle Mai say that he might have to track some hard-to-find prey next year, and I told Uncle Mai that he would think about it. However, Caesar had to appear before them when the time came. "Although the matter of the hunting team can be decided by Mai, and even if others have different opinions after the decision, they will not directly refute it, but Shao Xuan still hopes that everyone will know Caesar's ability, and it is not too much of a pity to have such help.
After hunting with the team so many times, Shao Xuan also knew that some special prey was not easy to pursue, and if Caesar, who had a keener sense of smell, was present, the result would be different.
Now that Caesar has no problem with speed, reflexes and adaptability, Shao Xuan is still in further training.
Caesar was about the same size as a wolf in the mountains and forests, but he didn't have that murderous aura, and everyone in the tribe was not afraid of him now.
Now that Shao Xuan has made a decision, Lao Ke doesn't plan to interfere anymore, "Even if you don't train it now, when the hunting stops in winter, you will have more time to train it." ”
"Winter," Shao Xuan looked at a few ordinary-looking leaves placed on the wooden shelves, and said, "Winter is not idle." ”
He wanted to learn some knowledge of medicinal materials from Wu, and he also mentioned it when Wu was asked to talk alone, he didn't know if such a skill could be taught, so he only mentioned it tentatively and euphemistically, and Wu agreed.
Many people in the advance team knew about the use of medicinal herbs, but they didn't know much about it, and the rest of the tribe didn't seem to have mentioned similar problems, probably thinking that as long as they believed in witches, they could just ask for help when needed, and they didn't need to spend time learning them themselves, or they felt that only witches could learn such advanced skills, and others could not do that.
When Shao Xuan proposed to learn about medicinal herbs, Wu was very happy, but Shao Xuan didn't have much time on weekdays, so Wu asked him to go up the mountain when the hunting stopped in winter.
Therefore, Shao Xuan will say that he will be busy in winter
