Chronicles of Primordial Wars

Chapter 15 Full of bad water, just like you

Shao Xuan lifted the curtain and walked in, and Caesar also squeezed in, but he didn't dare to touch it everywhere. Once he was curious about an object in the room and sniffed, but when he touched it, his nose was pinched. He couldn't pick it off either, and the more he picked it up, the tighter it became. Even if Shao Xuan quickly helped it remove the clip, it would still hurt for a long time. After that, Caesar was very honest every time he came here, and only followed Shao Xuan, not overly curious.

Ke's house is larger than most of the people nearby, about a hundred square meters, and the house is full of various stone tools, from stone cups and bowls for daily use, to stone knives and spearheads for hunting. There are also many kinds of organic tools, such as antlers, animal bones, etc., and some are all stone, but the most are composite types, that is, a combination of the former two. The warriors in the composite tool tribe use the most.

After glancing at the hanging tools, Shao Xuan retracted his gaze and went directly to the small room where the tools were polished.

The gray-haired and old-fashioned Ke sat there, because the stone tools were polished every day, and the animal skins he wore were covered with a layer of gray stone powder, and the hands holding the stone tools were full of calluses, and also stained with a layer of gray white.

Ke's eyes were always on the stone tool that was being polished, and he didn't look away because Shao Xuan came in, as if the whole world only had the stone tool in his hand.

Because he knew Ke's character, Shao Xuan took out the animal skin bag directly, took out the two stones inside and handed it to Ke.

"Uncle Ke, can you help polish two stone knives or daggers?"

The two stones that Shao Xuan took out could only be short knives and daggers, not long.

Ke stopped the work at hand, raised his head and glanced at the stone that Shao Xuan handed over, and then looked at the two fish that Shao Xuan dragged over, "Okay, keep one." It means that it can be polished, and one fish is enough for manual labor. .

"Leave both of them, and I gave the other to you. Thank you for your help over the past six months." Shao Xuan said with a smile.

Every time I picked up a stone that could be processed, I came to Ke to exchange it. At the beginning, Shao Xuan was not familiar with the business. After finding some bad stones, Ke still exchanged food. Later, Shao Xuan was able to identify the stone material, and it was only in retrospect that he realized that how could people who touch different stones and polish stone tools every day fail to identify the quality of the stone? It can only be shown that K was intentional.

Although Ke always had a sullen face, giving people a sense of alienation, he did help Shao Xuan a lot. In addition, Shao Xuan also saw the grid responsible for delivering the food appearing here two days ago. When he talked to Ke, his words were very familiar. Obviously, the two had a good relationship. Shao Xuan guessed that Ku left the cave and went up the mountain. , Ge let Shao Xuan take over the management of the cave, which is probably the reason for the stone tool master.

Ke frowned and was about to speak when Shao Xuan hurriedly took out a small stone knife and handed it to Ke: "Uncle Ke, this is a newly polished stone knife by myself, you can take a look."

The stone material of Shao Xuan's stone knife is not a good stone. According to the standards of stone tools, it is only of medium and low quality. It is slightly better than the stones on the gravel ground. It does not take much effort to polish it. The day is worn out.

Ke took it over and glanced at it, his fingers dipped in stone powder brushed lightly from the knife body, and finally tapped a third of the way near the handle, "Here, no."

Shao Xuan knows that experienced stone tools masters can see the shortcomings of stone tools at a glance, such as knives, and they can see the most failures in tool grinding. And what Ke pointed out just now was to tell Shao Xuan that here, the polishing process was the most unsuccessful.

Why is it the most unsuccessful?

After all, Shao Xuan is a layman. When he polishes stone tools, he just takes it for granted. Shao Xuan does not understand the so-called technical skills in the eyes of stone tools.

In Ke's eyes, this stone knife is naturally full of failures, and the place just pointed to is failure within failure.

The more people he has contacted, the deeper he understands this tribe, and the more Shao Xuan knows, the wisdom and ability of the people here cannot be underestimated. Taking out this stone knife, Shao Xuan also wanted to learn more grinding skills from Ke.

This stone knife is just sharpened to the shape of a knife, and it is usually used just fine. It is naturally far from the one used by the warriors who go out hunting. You can see at a glance where it is over-polished, and where the heat is a little short.

From the expression on Ke's face just now, you can tell that this one is not very satisfied. This is because Shao Xuan is a child and has no experience in sharpening stone knives. If another soldier comes over and gives G a stone tool like this, he will not say a word of G, just throw the knife and be too lazy. Say, ignore it completely.

"Uncle Ke, can I learn to polish stone tools with you?" Shao Xuan asked. Now his time is not tight, and there is still a whole cold winter coming. If he can learn some skills of grinding stone tools, he can practice more when he is in a cave in winter. Anyway, he has stone on hand.

Unfortunately, Ke Wenyan shook his head, "Not now, wait until you wake up."

To grind a stone and wait for the power of the totem to awaken? What's the point of this?

Although he was puzzled, Shao Xuan did not continue to ask questions, because he knew he didn't want to go into details just by looking at Ke.

Since K said so, naturally he has his reasons. but……

Shao Xuan did the math, he would be ten years old after this winter. Judging from the situation of the other children in the cave, the early ones awakened at the age of eleven or twelve, and they had to wait at least one or two years.

If you think about it, it's still a long time.

Although I can't learn it now, I can always see it. Shao Xuan squatted beside him and watched the stone tool.

Some things are easy for onlookers to see, but when they really get started, they realize that it is completely different from what they imagined. Shao Xuan looked at the short knife that was polished and formed, and then looked at the sharpening of his own... tsk, it is really better than not knowing, without looking at the stone, Just by looking at the appearance, you can clearly tell the pros and cons. It is no wonder that Ke looked at the knife that Shao Xuan polished by himself. come out.

It was not until it was getting dark that Shao Xuan helped set up a stone pot and set it on fire, and chopped the fish before leaving, and took Caesar back to the cave.

Not long after Shao Xuan left, Ke put the polished stone tools in the box, wiped his hands and started preparing food. The water in the stone pot was already boiling, and when he put the fish that Shao Xuan had already cut into the stone pot, there was a soft sound from the window behind him, followed by the sound of swish arrows flying.

"Alas!"

Boom!

The person who came in through the window fell to the ground.

Ke did not lift his eyes, he stirred in the stone pot with a spoon.

"Hey, I said Lao Ke, why did you change your tricks again? Hiss..." The one-armed grid rubbed his buttocks. Just now, his buttocks hit the ground first and fell, and there was still a loop of leather rope tightly bound on his feet. His legs, otherwise he wouldn't have turned the window and fell like this. He just lacked an arm and no legs. How could he fall so easily under normal circumstances?

There was still scolding over there, and Ke continued to stir the soup in the stone pot, ignoring the crap that he came in through the window.

Ge finally untied the leather rope and stood up, smelled it, and immediately leaned over to the stone pot, "Fish soup?"

Glancing at the house, seeing the fish on the side, he smiled, "Has that kid been here?"

"..." Ke didn't say anything.

"That kid Axuan dragged the fish to me and exchanged a big bag of salt yesterday, the picture is very big, I went to the cave today to see, wow, you don't know, the cave is full of fish, this winter Help the little brats get better, tsk, no wonder you recommended that kid Ah Xuan to replace Ku, let alone how long it took, the situation in the cave changed drastically, half of the salt in my hands was given by that kid Go away." Ge tut tut sighed.

There is a naturally formed salt pond near the mountain where the tribe is located. The salt of the tribe comes from there, but the tribe has control over the salt and regularly distributes a certain amount of salt to each household to ensure the minimum needs of life. More than that, you'll have to replace it yourself. Don't think about stealing, there are soldiers guarding near Yanchi, and those who are in charge of things over there are people on the mountain. People who go down the mountain want more salt and go up the mountain to find someone to exchange it. However, Ge is in charge of food and hands-on. Naturally, he could keep a little more, so Shao Xuan went straight to him with the fish.

Seeing that Ke was still silent, Ge found a stone bench and sat down by himself, and said to himself, "I saw that kid grinding a stone knife the day before yesterday. He came here today to ask you for guidance, right?" , Ge continued: "Actually, that kid is quite good. He has a lot of energy to learn, and his brain is still flexible. At first glance, he is full of bad water. Like you, he is suitable for doing your stuff. Since he came here, he is also sincere. , why shouldn't you get off?"

Ge, who was swaying his feet, glanced at the chopped fish pieces on the table, and his eyes fell on the stone pot that was erected. This is different from the usual way of holding the stone pot. It looks like someone else put it up. Stable out of the frame. I think it was also from the hand of the kid who came over just now.

Ke shook his head, and this time he said, "It's easy to get hurt."

"Also, I haven't awakened the power of the totem. If there is an accident, it will be bad. After all, the things you are playing with... are quite dangerous."

Grid tore off an arrow that was worn on the animal skin under his armpit. When he came in through the window just now, he only paid attention to the arrows that were shot, not the leather rope that was clinging to the window edge, so he was hit.

It was obviously just a small wooden arrow that could be easily broken with a single finger, but just now it was able to penetrate the fur clothing on his body in the blink of an eye, showing how fast it shot out.

He held the half-palm-long small arrow and flexibly turned it between his fingers. After playing for a while, he moved his finger and flicked it, and the small arrow was accurately shot into the thin wooden cylinder hanging in the corner.

He didn't know where these small arrows came from just now, so he could only put them in the wooden cylinder. The wooden cylinder contained all the things he threw. When it was full, he would naturally take out all the things inside. class back.

"Lao Ke, you can wait. According to the physique of the children in the cave, you have to wait at least another two years." Ge sighed.
