Chapter 32: The Road to Glory
Early the next morning, Shao Xuan tied up the animal skin bag with gravel and ran to the training ground with Caesar.
In the past, when I didn't wake up, I always had to be scared, and if I didn't pay attention to it, I would be injured by mistake, or even burp, but now I have more confidence, at least not so weak and unbeaten.
The people of the tribe don't know much about tricks, they only imagine a prey, and then react more directly according to the habits of the prey.
Some warriors will think of the mountain wall as some kind of beast, and then add punches and kicks to the mountain wall. Therefore, if you see sand and rocks flying somewhere on the mountain, don't be surprised, it's just some totem warrior practicing boxing.
Just like what I saw at Wu that night, the ordinary stone "spear" that child could break with one punch.
After Shao Xuan ran to the training ground, he chose a mountain, carried another stone, and ran from the foot of the mountain to the mountain.
"It's good to have such a special ability. Shao Xuan looked at the different shades of gray in his field of vision and sighed.
Compared with the power of the totem, another ability in Shao Xuan's body undoubtedly helped him a lot, saving him effort to find it.
Medium or upper-middle grade stones, Shao Xuan can't move, he hits them with his bare hands, and it hurts his own hands.
After digging down the stone he liked, he looked at the sky, and when it was close to noon, Shao Xuan ran back with the stone on his shoulder. After going back to the wooden house to eat, he took the dug stones and went to Lao Ke's side.
In the afternoon, Shao Xuan arranged to use it to learn stone tools.
Looking at simple stone tools has a lot of skills, not just simple tapping.
"First of all, you need to know how to identify the stone, even if it is a stone core of the same hardness, the method of beating it may not be the same. Lao Ke took out two stone-like stone cores and said.
Shao Xuan watched Lao Ke directly beat and peel one of them, while the other was added with hot and cold treatment. Lao Ke explained to Shao Xuan the color changes and cooling time of several kinds of stones after heating.
Some stones change color and texture to a greater or lesser extent when heated, while others only change texture, and some do not react to the heating process at all. Sometimes the temperature must be grasped for heating, and it is necessary to understand what temperature is best for peeling and what temperature is not suitable for peeling. And this temperature, when there is no precision instrument to measure, can only be based on feeling, experience.
For example, Shao Xuan touched the same temperature, and Lao Ke could tell which temperature was higher by touching the stone core a little.
Different stones react differently to different temperatures, heating times, cooling variations, and other personalities.
Lao Ke put one of the two stone cores he had just taken out on the fire and burned it, holding a stone stick in one hand and sandwiching the stone core in the middle.
The fire of the fire was burning very strongly, as if it was going to dry people, and he could sweat all over his body after a while next to the fire, and Lao Ke's face was also full of sweat, but his hands were still very steady, and the action of turning the stone core was also very neat.
Half an hour later, the stone core heated on the fire turned from the original gray to brown and red, and Lao Ke clamped the stone core away from the fire, but did not begin to peel the stone leaves, but waited for the stone core to gradually cool and the brown-red color became lighter.
The stone leaves that have been peeled off are almost the same thickness, whether they are elongated or disced!
What kind of control is this?!
At least in Shao Xuan's previous concept, without those advanced cutting tools, it would not have been possible to do this.
The so-called "ideal polishing" is actually a very complex process, which is simply unimaginable for those who do not know the way.
Theory was followed by practice, and for most of the afternoon, Shao Xuan was practicing peeling stone leaves.
"Too much waste, come again!"
"What the hell is this stripping, come again!"
"The control of the swing hammer is too bad, come again!"
"Wait!Can you peel this kind of stone directly?!You have eaten too much fish?!Take it and burn it and come again!!"
......
Some people who live closer to Lao Ke know that Lao Ke's temper has become more violent recently. Talking about Shao Xuan, they all shook their heads and sighed one by one, "Ah Xuan, that kid, pitiful!"
In fact, the situation in the house was not as bad as the tribesmen thought.
Lao Ke is also unforgiving, and he is still very concerned about teaching Shao Xuanshi skills, and he is also willing to give up the stone core.
Shao Xuan knocked five stone cores in the afternoon, not counting the one he brought over, the other four are Lao Ke's own, the stone is not bad, used as a practice stone for himself, it is really a bit of a waste, Lao Ke does not feel sorry for Shao Xuan, and he looks ashamed.
Every day from Lao Ke's tired return to his wooden house, Shao Xuan felt that the muscles all over his body were tingling, and the stinging sensation was getting stronger and stronger, he gritted his teeth in pain when he set up a stone pot and lit a fire, and the tiger's mouth holding the stone hammer was even worse, it was hot, and it took several times to set up a stone pot to succeed.
The so-called thousands of hammers, Shao Xuan felt that it was not the stone core that was beaten, but himself, but he slept soundly at night, and when he woke up, he was refreshed, as if yesterday's muscle tingling was just an illusion.
I just don't know if this is due to the ability that the totem warrior itself possesses, or if it is due to another special ability.
Early in the morning, Shao Xuan planned to go to the training ground as a few days ago, and yesterday he looked at a place, where the stones were good, and he could dig out a few good stone cores, so that he would save himself from using Lao Ke all the time, what should I do if Lao Ke is poor?
As he walked, Shao Xuan felt that something was wrong. People who are not so active on weekdays get up early and converge in the same direction.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan slapped his forehead.
I almost forgot! Today is the day when Langga and they go out hunting!!
Raising his leg and turning around, Shao Xuan led Caesar towards the place where the crowd gathered.
There is a road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, which runs almost in a straight line, and this road is higher than the rest of the surrounding terrain, and no one has built houses on it, and the way to guò when the hunting party goes out and returns does not disturb the other inhabitants of the tribe.
Over time, this path has also taken on another meaning. The people of the tribe called it the "Road of Glory".
It is like a solemn farewell to a soldier who is about to go to battle, and people's feelings are naturally complicated, there is pride, heaviness, and hope, because they don't know if their families will still be okay when the hunting party returns, and will they be able to bring back enough food?
Most of the people gathered on both sides of the "Road of Glory" were the families of the fighters of the hunting team, ranging from the elderly to children. When the time comes, the hunting party will return to greet them. And the mood of the two times will naturally be completely different.
However, in addition to welcoming and sending off the hunting team, in the group of warriors of the hunting team, this road also represents this meaning, an affirmation of their own strength, if Shao Xuan describes it, for many warriors, that road is a "road to show off wealth".
When you return from hunting, you can see at a glance who got how much food, just like the disclosure of assets. Wealthy people naturally do not lack reputation, status, and women, which are all things worth showing off.
"It's coming!" someone shouted.
Shao Xuan looked over.
There were more than 200 people walking down from the mountain, and the one who walked in front was the leader of the hunting team, Shao Xuan had seen it on the night of the sacrifice, not only the leader, but also the few people behind the leader, Shao Xuan, also felt familiar, they were all dancing by the fire pond that night.
The people who walked down the mountain, whether they were smiling or solemn, walked with great momentum at every step, and they felt like a battlefield general.
At the back of the line, among the tall warriors, the children who were obviously shorter were very eye-catching. Among them are the eldest grandson spear of the collar, and the Fei who was displayed in front of Shao Xuan before.
"Hey, who's those kids?"
"Being able to participate in the first hunt naturally has the strength. ”
"These are the most capable fighters awakened this year. ”
"Hey, that's a spear, right?
......
The crowd was talking.
Saida Dad pointed to the Fei and others in the hunting team, and said to the track: "Look at it, people are about the same age as you, and the same group of awakened people can follow to participate in the first hunt, what about you?"
Sai's neck stalked, "Who told you not to live in the mountains?"
Sai He Lao Tzu choked, and directly exhaled with two fists and two slaps.
