Chapter 28 I want to learn to polish stone tools
Lang Ga choked.
Originally, Lang Ga thought of several answers that Shao Xuan might have said, and then answered and taught them one by one as elder and comer, just like when new members joined in the past. However, Lang Ga did not expect that Shao Xuan would not play according to the routine at all. He really didn't understand why Shao Xuan gave such an answer.
Does this matter?
However, Lang Ga did not think too much, and corrected with a tiger's face: "It's a stone!"
"You should also know that a long time ago, when our tribe came here to settle down, we lived in a stone cave. We would see stones every day and come into contact with them. They could shelter us from wind and rain, cut wood and chop firewood."
As he said that, Lang Ga's stern face faded, his emotions were a little excited, he clenched his fists and said, "At the same time, we also use stones. Relying on it, we can pierce those beasts with thick skin! Use stones to smash the heads of those preys! Even if we encounter danger, stones will still be with us until the last moment!"
It can provide protection, accompany you, will not betray or abandon you. People from the tribe start to come into contact with stones from their birth. They play with stones, use stones in daily life, and use the equipment they use. For soldiers who often need to go out to hunt, stones are even more familiar and cannot be separated from stones. No wonder Langga said this.
Of course, Shao Xuan would rather call stone a tool, after all, stone has no vitality.
"Now, do you know who our closest partner is, right?" Lang Ga looked at Shao Xuan, and his eyes seemed to say: Xiaoyao, please try to say it wrong again?
Shao Xuan nodded seriously and seriously, "Stone!"
"Ha, that's right." Lang Ga immediately smiled satisfied and continued to talk about hunting.
"By the way, Ah Xuan, you have just woken up now. You can't participate in the first hunt this year. Maybe you can't participate in the second time. As for whether you can participate in the third time, it depends on your ability." Lang Ga said.
Well? There is still this statement? Shao Xuan really doesn’t understand.
Seeing Shao Xuan’s doubts, Lang Ga explained: “You have just awakened and are not proficient in using your abilities. You must go through a period of training.”
Lang Ga said it quite tactfully, but Shao Xuan could also infer the reason from these words.
One is for the sake of protection. After the winter is over, when the flowers bloom, many wild beasts that have been hungry for a winter are reactive in the forests, and the poisonous snakes are even more poisonous. The forests are full of various crises. If no one keeps following the protection, it is easy to break into the forest. People from the tribe are unwilling to see such things happen.
The second reason is that Shao Xuan's group of people has not met the standards. In the hunting team that attaches great importance to teamwork, it is a burden to follow the past. Not only can't help, but it is easy to drag down.
"Understand." Shao Xuan was not disappointed after he figured it out. Besides, he also felt that he should lay a good foundation first, and practicing more is not a bad thing.
He thought Shao Xuan would be disappointed or unwilling like other children, but he didn't expect Shao Xuan to figure it out. Lang Ga felt relieved. He pulled Shao Xuan over to meet a few people in the same team, and the other was to tell Shao Xuan about this. In the past, children often sharpened their knives and wanted to go hunting with them. As a result, they were told that they could not go the first two times, and there were many noises. Usually, when they encountered that situation, the elders in the child's family were disciplined, and they would become much more honest. But Shao Xuan came out of the hole, and now he had no parents. He was still young and looked thinner than other children. Lang Ga was really afraid of being beaten.
"Okay, I'll be relieved if you can figure it out. By the way, I have a few good stone cores here. See if it can be used, polish it yourself, or find a stone tool master."
Langga took out several stones of different sizes from an animal skin bag, which is what Langga called the stone core.
The raw materials for making stone tools are obtained after attacking the stone core. People from the tribe call it stone core.
After giving the stone core to Shao Xuan, Lang Ga also told Shao Xuan about some training experience. The other people present did not hide their own personalities, and they did not have such awareness.
Shao Xuan took their suggestions in his heart and sincerely thanked them.
"Your father helped me when he was there," said Lang Ga. The hunting team members are like this. The team members can help you. Although they can help you not much, at least they can be more relaxed.
After eating barbecue, Shao Xuan said goodbye and left. He had something to do, and Lang Ga and his friends would continue to discuss the upcoming hunting in five days.
Shao Xuan came out of Langga's house and was stopped after walking not long.
"You are Xuan?"
Shao Xuan looked at him and said that he was a child older than Shao Xuan. He looked about the same age as Sai, but he was stronger and his animal skin was of good quality. He looked like he was not living near the foot of the mountain, but he should be a person living on the mountainside or up. Shao Xuan had a little impression of him. The same group of awakened people just didn't know what they were named.
At this time, the child raised his chin slightly, looked arrogant, and looked at Shao Xuan with a look.
Standing at a high place and raising your chin, aren't you tired of your eyes? Shao Xuan glanced at the other party and said, "Who are you?"
I thought the other party would pretend to be "It doesn't matter who I am", but Shao Xuan heard the other party say directly: "My name is Fei. In five days, I will go out with the hunting team to participate in the first hunting game of this year. Do you have to wait a long time, right?"
After saying that, he also said "hehe" to Shao Xuan twice, then jumped up, jumped over from above Shao Xuan's head, and when he landed, he pointed his toes at the ground, jumped out again, and stood in front of Langga's door a few ups and downs. It was obvious that he was looking for Langga for something.
Before entering the house, the child turned around and snorted at Shao Xuan, showing off his flaunt and complacent expression. His move just now was quite good among his peers, and his father often praised him for running faster, jumping higher and farther than others.
Shao Xuan scratched his chin. The little kid was so moved when he landed on the ground, so it was really okay to go hunting like this?
However, a newly awakened child like Fei can go out to hunt with the team for the first time. Obviously, there are people in the team, and that person has a high status in the team. Otherwise, people like Lang Ga and others would not have absolute right to speak.
Someone is going to be willful.
However, Shao Xuan was not hit, and his emotions were not depressed by what happened just now. He was not a real child. He knew that he was not so eager for quick success and instant benefits. This may have some impact on other children, but he didn't care at all.
Shao Xuan took Caesar to catch some fish. After a winter, the fish in the river were still so stupid that they bit the bait and stopped putting it. It looked fierce, but unfortunately they had no IQ.
When I was at Langga just now, I heard them talk about hunting. Shao Xuan knew that many prey in the mountains and forests were like piranhas in the river. They looked fierce and had teeth all day long, but as long as I found the trick, it was easy to catch them. Some prey looked gentle, had no sharp teeth, and were still vegetarian, but if you were not careful, you would send you back to heaven. Its aggressiveness was no less than that of many carnivorous species.
After all, it is an unfamiliar world, so it is better to prepare for it. Shao Xuan thought.
Carrying the fish and a few old animal skins, Shao Xuan went to ask someone to help sew the animal skin bags and paid the handwork for a fish. Then he took the remaining three fish to the Stone Artifact Master. Now he is in great strength and there is no need for Caesar to help, Shao Xuan is not tired of carrying four big fishes.
When Shao Xuan arrived, several people came out of Ke's house, holding various finished stone tools, stones such as knives, spearheads, stone adzes, etc.
These people are all here to change stone tools. After all, hunting is about to begin, so they also need to prepare more tools. Ke is a relatively famous stone tool master in the foothills of the mountain, so there are naturally many people coming here. However, if Ke had not had a bad temper, there would definitely be more people coming here to change stone tools. Every year, Ke would run away some people who came to change stone tools.
Some people say that Ke is too direct, he speaks without mercy and does not know how to be roundabout and tactful. But Shao Xuan doesn't think so. Do Ke really understand many things? Is he really straight? Not necessarily.
After Shao Xuan got permission, he lifted the curtain and walked into the door.
Ke is grinding stone tools. In winter, a batch of them are polished. Most of them have been replaced in the past two days. There are still some stone cores and food piled up in the house. These are the "processing fees" that have not been collected yet.
Putting the fish on the other side of the pile of food, Shao Xuan came to Ke.
"Uncle Ke, I want to learn to polish stone tools."
The last time Shao Xuan came to study, Ke said that it was not yet time, so I will talk about it when I awaken the power of the totem.
Now, Shao Xuan has awakened, and according to what Lang Ga and the others said, there are many stone tools needed. Shao Xuan doesn’t have that much food to exchange for training stone tools for people, so he wants to polish it himself.
Ke stopped the work in his hand, held back from top to bottom and looked at Shao Xuan in the eyes.
Shao Xuan did not avoid it either.
A few seconds later, Ke handed Shao Xuan a stone hammer and pointed to a place not far away. There was a stone core there, and several lines were drawn on the stone core, all of which were bent, not straight lines.
"Follow the line, knock." Ke said.
As a newcomer, Shao Xuan took the stone hammer, looked at Ke, then looked at the stone core resting there, lifted the hammer and waved it and knocked it down.
The first step was too cautious. I knocked it next to the line, but only a shallow pit was knocked on the stone core. The force was too small.
Come again!
The second step was that the force was too strong, and the stones were knocked down, which exceeded the drawn lines.
Shao Xuan glanced at Ke's forehead and knew that Ke was very dissatisfied with his two moves just now. But since Ke didn't make a sound, Shao Xuan continued to knock along the line and let go of his courage to knock, not afraid of the failure of the first two moves.
Peeling a stone piece of pre-sized size from the stone core is not as simple as it seems. The stone tool makers must estimate the length of the moment when the force-applied hammer and the stone core contact, the angle and speed, etc., based on different stone materials, is it a linear strike? Or an arc strike? What is the material of the stone hammer and the stone core? How much force should be used, etc., etc.
These Ke have all told Shao Xuan, and Shao Xuan has seen a lot of Ke peeling stone flakes from the stone core every time he comes, but if you really get started, you will know that it is very difficult!
A slight difference will lead to a thousand miles of mistakes.
Come again!!
Shao Xuan was there and hit him with hammers, and Ke sat beside him and watched silently.
Caesar, who was squatting beside him, looked at Shao Xuan, and then looked at Ke who was silent but looked very bad. He moved his legs, retreated, and then retreated... and went straight to the corner and lay down with Yu Dai.
