After being left there for dinner, Shao Xuan took Caesar back to his cabin.
Although I haven't been at home for more than 20 days, there are obviously people in the house who have helped clean it, and the water tank is also full of water, not like it has been left for several days, and even the animal skins on the bedding have been cleaned and dried, and there are no raw insects or other smells.
Apparently Lao Ke found someone to do it.
Lighting a fire, Shao Xuan moved his arm slightly.
It's only been more than three hours, and Shao Xuan can already feel that the fracture of the bone has closed a lot, and it is really a good medicine. As for the totem pattern on his body. Shao Xuan naturally knew that he was faster than others, and among this group of awakened people, the totem pattern on the arm of the tribe's recognized genius spear was only half a finger extended.
When hunting, although Shao Xuan was also wearing sleeveless animal skin clothes, but at that time, everyone only paid attention to the prey, in the dangerous area in the mountains and forests, a little negligence was death, so everyone was very cautious, no one would be distracted to look at the totem patterns on other people's bodies when hunting, plus Shao Xuan's control of the power of the totem was too skilled, and the totem patterns were revealed and disappeared quickly. Therefore, during the hunt, no one noticed the astonishing extension speed of the totem pattern on Shao Xuan's arm.
Lao Ke was so frightened just now that he even broke his crutches, and he didn't believe it at first glance, so he rubbed his eyes and looked at it several times before he was sure. I believe that others will be surprised if they see it. For example, snorting.
After the first punch, he glanced at Shao Xuan's arm, Shao Xuan noticed that there was no real killing intent in the attack of Xuan, Shao Xuan knew that it was a temptation, he was just curious about the purpose of Xuanxuan and Tuo.
Lying in bed, the nerves that had been tense all these days finally relaxed completely. The tribe is very comfortable.
After a good night's sleep, when he woke up the next morning, Shao Xuan moved his body and found that the bone injury on his arm had completely healed, much faster than the "few days" Lao Ke said. In fact, if you don't drink those medicines, you can still recover overnight.
I boiled a pot of soup with wild fruits and dried meat, and shared it with Caesar. It doesn't taste good, but I'm used to it. There is not much soup, Shao Xuan is not full, look at Caesar, it is the same.
Patting Caesar's wolf head, Shao Xuan said, "Wait for the prey to come back and give you something to eat." ”
Caesar smashed his mouth, yawned slowly, and stretched again.
Seeing this stupidity, Shao Xuan remembered the wolf hunt he saw when he went to the second stronghold, Caesar is really not a wolf compared to those wolves in the mountains and forests, if he continues like this, it is estimated that he will really become a dog, but I don't know whether it will be a blessing or a curse.
Carrying water and taking a shower, Shao Xuan dragged Caesar out again, took out a fish toothbrush to brush him, he didn't wash for more than 20 days, this girl rolled on the ground every day, it is estimated that she was tricked by Ge, and there were many lumps on the wolf hair.
Lao Ke will help Shao Xuan clean up the house, but he will not bathe Caesar, in Lao Ke's eyes, Caesar is still just a spare prey, what kind of bath does the prey have?
When Tuohe brought Shao Xuan's prey over, he saw Shao Xuan brushing Caesar outside the house.
Originally, Wu arranged for someone else to help Shao Xuanyun carry the prey down the mountain, which they later took the initiative to ask Wu for.
"Hey, your arm is alright?!"
Seeing Shao Xuan brushing Caesar flexibly, without any injury at all, he threw the thing he was dragging and was about to lean over to look at Shao Xuan's arm, but was pulled by Tuo.
Snorting and struggling, Tuo made a mouth-shaped "big boss", and Snort immediately quieted down. After he went back yesterday, he was dragged out and beaten by the big boss, and his face is still swollen today.
After Tuo and Tuo moved their prey to the house, Shao Xuan thanked the two with a smile and wanted to send them some meat to show their gratitude, but Tuo refused.
Tuo found that although Shao Xuan's attitude was not bad, he was not very enthusiastic. No way, who let someone break someone's arm yesterday?
Embarrassed and smiled, Tuo said: "By the way, Wu said that everyone should wash up the day after tomorrow and go to the top of the mountain to pay tribute to the ancestors." Go in the morning. ”
I didn't stay here for a long time, for fear of snorting and making a mess, so Tuo pulled him away.
After brushing Caesar, Shao Xuan went into the house to check the food that had been transported.
The prey that was placed on the mountain yesterday had already been dealt with the help of someone, and even the skin of the thorny black wind had been peeled off intact with skillful techniques.
There are two layers of skin, one is a hard scale armor, and the other is a thick skin that is more tough. The two layers of skin have been separated, and someone has specially treated them, without a single smell of blood, and it is also very clean.
Caesar stood two meters away from the Thorny Black Wind Flesh and bared his teeth, obviously very jealous of this creature, but curious, and greedy, while roaring, and teasing his mouth.
Shao Xuan took out the smallest piece of meat and planned to give it to Caesar, thought about it, took another tool and cut it, and threw the cut piece to Caesar. The meat of the higher prey contained too much energy, and Shao Xuan didn't know how much Caesar could carry.
Looking at the pile of food in front of him, Shao Xuan calculated how much salt he would exchange with the tribe at that time.
In order to participate in the ceremony of honoring the ancestors, the people of the tribe are busy and take out their most proud items, which are no less than the day of the Snow Festival. Even another hunting party, which was supposed to depart, was delayed for a few days and left after the memorial service.
Shao Xuan found someone to make a dress out of the scale armor of the thorny black wind, and put it on like armor. Although it looks silly, the necessary display is inevitable, and this is one of the most direct ways to prove his ability in the tribe, and Shao Xuan also follows the local customs.
Of course, Shao Xuan didn't forget to send some scale armor skin and meat to the spear, after all, the spear also played a role when hunting the thorny black wind.
After fifty days, the tribe once again held a grand ceremony in all areas.
This time it wasn't as troublesome as the day of the Storm Festival, and no one danced.
Shao Xuan was placed near the fire pond, as the greatest hero who found the ancestor, he had such qualifications, and no one in the tribe could refute it.
Therefore, the people of the tribe saw that among the group of people who were close to the fire pond, only Shao Xuan was standing there with an obviously "thin" small body.
This time, Shao Xuan didn't dare to desert, and he followed the people of the tribe very seriously to pay tribute to the ancestors of the tribe, and said in his heart: Ancestor Wow, you must be able to bless me with hunting smoothly in the future! Don't run into those troublesome things again.
The four ancestors were cremated in the fire pit, and the flame of the fire, which was not harmful, expanded to wrap the four bodies that had dried up, and soon, the four bodies gradually disappeared, and there was no smoke and dust. When the flame of the fire returns to its original size, the fire pit also returns to its original state, with no ashes and no residue left.
Every deceased person in the tribe will be cremated in this way, but not everyone can hold a big ceremony at the time of cremation, let alone the scale of the ritual that belongs to the ancestors, which is no less than the Wind and Snow Festival.
Shao Xuan noticed that the bone ornament was missing, and it was obviously left behind by Wu. That's right, it's a pity that such a treasure burned.
After kneeling respectfully and praying, after the ceremony, Shao Xuan was called over by the witch.
Wu asked Shao Xuan about things when he was in the cave, and he asked more carefully than others, and Wu's focus was more inclined to Shao Xuan's induction at that time, which is the so-called "totem guidance".
Shao Xuan said what he had thought of, and he pretended to be stupid when he should pretend to be stupid.
Stayed at Wu and was questioned for more than an hour before being released.
After Shao Xuan left, Wu took out a jade stone box and opened it carefully, there were three identical bone ornaments neatly placed inside, if Shao Xuan was here, he would be surprised. It turns out that there is more than one such treasure. But the difference is that the small ball in the middle of the bone ornament has lost its previous luster and is very dull.
On the side of the stone box is a scroll of animal skin, which does not look old, but it is actually nearly a thousand years old.
When I opened the leather scroll, there were a few simple drawings drawn inside, but I could see that it was a bone ornament placed in a stone box.
"Finally found them all. Wu sighed lightly.
If anyone is here, they must be puzzled, the animal skin scroll is painted with six identical bone ornaments, but there are only three in the stone box, and Wu said, "All have been found."
Thinking of Shao Xuan's answer just now, a smile appeared on Wu's slightly sad face. He knew that Shao Xuan wasn't telling the truth completely, but it didn't matter.
"The power of the fire can tell you the right direction, just as in the most ancient times, the ancestors used fire to light up the night. He did say this, but in fact, very few people can do it, and even if they can sense it, it is not as sharp as Shao Xuan, far less intense than that, just a vague sense. With only vague sense, those who can't get out of the cave, just like the ancestors, can sense a little bit, and can find the location of the elder, but can't get out of the cave.
recalled that Shao Xuan's awakening was different from other people's expressions, and he was more inclined to awaken under the complete fire seed......
Is this the difference between a complete tinder and a mutilated tinder?
Wu looked at the bone ornament in front of him, stretched out his old hand like tree bark, carefully touched the dull round ball on the bone ornament, put the animal skin roll back, covered the lid of the stone box, and put it back in its place.
Taking two steps back, Wu quietly looked at the stone box and bowed respectfully.
Elder, this title that has disappeared from the tribe for nearly a thousand years, I don't know when it will reappear.
