Chapter 4 Communication with Wu
Hunting was one of the most important ways of life of primitive people, who hunted wild animals, including large mammals and a variety of birds, reptiles, and insects, by making simple tools such as bows and arrows, spears, and traps.
Among them, there are many kinds of traps.
The trap that Zhang Duo proposed to Pan is a modified version of the live trap.
As the name suggests, a trap is a trap set to catch and trap animals alive.
The change point is to insert sharpened bamboo at the bottom of the pit, which makes it impossible for the prey that falls into the pit to escape alive.
Zhang Duo brushed his thoughts and explained to Wu: "Wu, when my father was still alive, he often explained hunting to me, and he told me about the appearance and habits of some prey. So I had conceived traps for several of the prey that my father had talked about, and the wild boar happened to be one of them. ”
After a pause, he said.
"The fruit I gave to Pan was dug up in the wild fields of the tribe, and my father used to say that wild boars were wild boars that could eat anything they could eat, especially plants, and that they would dig roots and bulbs from the ground with their hard noses and fangs. I heard Uncle Pan say that the wild boar suddenly appeared on the hunting route, so I thought that it was due to the approaching winter, and the wild boar expanded its territory due to lack of food, so he gave the fruit dug to Uncle Pan to use to set a trap. ”
Wu looked at Zhang Duo, his already deep eyes seemed to be brighter, and he sighed: "There is no shortage of strong warriors in the Eagle Tribe, but there is a lack of people who can use wisdom to think. ”
Zhang Duo can understand Wu, there are indeed not many people in the primitive tribe who can think and reflect.
"You said it, I just did what I had to do!"
Wu spread out a scroll of animal skin in his hand and said to Zhang Duo: "Look at these plants in the scroll, can you 'see' and understand." ”
Zhang Duo took the animal skin roll and looked at it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
The style of painting of this animal skin scroll is also too abstract and minimalist, and it is impossible to tell what kind of plant it is.
A black vertical road, two points on the left and right is a plant?
Who can understand this? Zhang Duo suspects that the first person who wrote did not understand what kind of plant he was depicting for a while.
was about to ask Wu, but suddenly felt that his eyes seemed to be attracted by the animal skin roll, and a flower fluttering in the wind appeared in his mind, Zhang Duo couldn't help but be curious, and was about to look more detailed, but there was a tingling pain in his mind.
It's like an early warning from the brain under the extreme sleepiness of not sleeping for a few days.
"Hiss~" Zhang Duo gasped.
At this time, Wu put his hand on Zhang Duo's head, and Zhang Duo felt a warm current along Wu's hand into his mind, as if he had relieved his headache at once.
Wu slowly confirmed with a little joy: "Child, you can 'see' the blue flowers in the painting, right!?" ”
Zhang Duo replied with some uncertainty: "It's not that I saw it, but I imagined a plant with two green flowers on the left and right." ”
Wu confirmed his inner conjecture at this time, but did not talk about the warmth and stinging just now.
Instead, he said, "Yes, this is what Bihua looks like." There are many magical uses for 'blue flowers', but the Eagle Tribe has not found this flower in many years, so if you come across it in the future, be sure to try to bring it back to the tribe. ”
Zhang Duo replied, "I understand, Wu. ”
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask about his strange appearance just now.
Wu explained: "This kind of animal skin scroll, called the witch record, is not visible to everyone. Only those who have the gift of being called a witch can see it. I just asked you to see if you have talent. ”
"As for the headache you felt just now, it's because checking the witch record requires energy, and your energy has not been exercised, so that you will have a headache if you overdraft your energy, and my power to relieve your headache is to use the power of faith of the people in the tribe, and the power of faith can replenish energy."
Zhang Duo was a little surprised, the primitive society really had supernatural powers!
After digesting Wu's words, he replied, "I understand, Wu." ”
Wu nodded and took out a small clay pot from the table next to him: "Don't move, child, I will give you the blessing of the Eagle God." ”
Zhang Duo saw his fingers tap in the clay pot, and then wiped it twice on Zhang Duo's own face.
Zhang Duo felt as if there was something more behind him, and when he turned around, it seemed that there was nothing.
After finishing painting, Wu waved his hand a little tiredly: "Go, child." ”
Zhang Duo nodded and exited Wu's room.
Wu looked at his back and thought to himself: Eagle God bless, my Eagle Tribe has finally produced a child with the potential to become a witch after so many years.
