Chronicles of Primordial Wars Chapter 17: mural
The person who can come here to teach is naturally not an idiot who knows only one to ten years of age, not to mention this Old Hunter, even if others don't know much, but counting is absolutely good, this is out What hunting must know, the competition between Hunting Team and Hunting Team also uses numbers.
I know that this group of children in the cave is almost skilled in counting from one to thirty. In addition to surprise and surprise, Old Hunter also has a touch of joy and comfort. He loves teaching, but unfortunately on the mountain, the children there do not need him to teach.
Rarely interesting, Old Hunter teaches with all my heart today.
I can learn more and quiet down the noisy hole, no longer making substitutions, the little ones are listening with their ears open. Shao Xuan mainly reads the text of the tribe. This group of children is learning more numbers. As for the most boring inside the cave, it is probably only Caesar who sleeps on a straw mat.
When Old Hunter left, he had n’t taught him enough, and he was very reluctant. He used to come here two or three times in the past winter. Now he teaches very well. Even if he wants to come a few more times, he wo n’t be able to go down the mountain every day. After consideration, Old Hunter left the animal skin in his hand, not the one that was first taken out, but a larger animal skin that recorded more numbers and text, and kept it for Shao Xuan, whoever wants to see it Find Shao Xuan.
Ventilation openings in the cave are all already blocked with thatch. There is no light coming in. After the winter, the day and night are the same in the cave. It is not possible to burn the fire all day. Firewood was stored in the cave. Warrior was brought over the previous two days, but it could not afford to burn all day.
Shao Xuan looked at the fire and thought, if the hole could be brighter, it would be convenient to do anything.
Caesar lay raw fish next to Shao Xuan, it does not like cooked food.
The fine fish teeth left after eating the fish in the hole are not good for other tools, they are too small, they can not go out for hunting, and the hunting tools are not used. Shao Xuan made a few brushes directly, brushed the Caesar bristles, and combed his own hair.
There are combs in the tribe, but the children in the holes are not very interested in combing their hair. The image problem is not as important as the food problem. People of the tribe, both men and women, have long hair and short hair. Those who don't like long hair cut their hair with a knife, but there is no one on the side of the hole to cut the hair for those children.
Slightly bigger fish teeth were scrambled by the children in the hole to make a necklace.
Decorating with more species-like things such as horns or teeth of prey, this is a way for people in the tribe to show off their hunting ability. Some Warrior will give this kind of decoration to the beloved girl to please, and women will compare with each other, higher than the necklace who wears, which kind of bird belongs to the feather is more cruel, and the more powerful prey is made The decoration, the more the envy of the tribe people wear.
Children will naturally compare. Nearly mountain foot children's necklaces are mostly made by the elders of the family after hunting with the horns, teeth or bones of some prey. Many children in the hole have long lost their parents, and no one gave them such decorations Whenever they walk around the tribe, they are particularly envious of other children with ornaments. This is why they often fight with other children in the tribe.
But now, can they be happy to make necklaces from the teeth of their prey? Now they also have necklaces, so there is no need for those children to wear bad! This group of kids love fish so much is also related to fish tooth necklace.
Shao Xuan didn't grab the fish teeth with them. The bigger ones suitable for making necklaces were given to other children. When he stammered to visit his sister, he carried a fish tooth, which was bigger than the few fish teeth he carried.
It's not easy.
When Shao Xuan was thinking about how to improve the situation in the cave, the children in the cave were not so entangled. In addition to sleeping every day, they only had the experience of sitting and counting by the fire while eating. Mo Er also practiced knives every day. He had already mastered counting. understanding had more words than other children in the cave. When he lit a fire every day, he practiced knives in the corner, threw a stone in the air, and then waved. Slash, after all, there is no Night Swallow for him to practice.
After eating, the children in the cave fell asleep one by one. The wood in the fire was almost burned out. Shao Xuan added a wood to it. After the wood end was burned, he took the burning wood and went to Go deep inside the cave.
When he looked deep inside the cave that day, he found a stone room piled with debris. The stone room was very messy. The stone pot used by the children in the cave was also pulled out from Shao Xuan. Except for the stone pot, at that time Shao Xuan didn't look at anything else. I'm idle today, so I took the torch and went to see if I could find something useful again.
The vents in the place where although sleeps are blocked, but there are still small slits and small openings that connect the outside of the hole. When you continue to go deep, you can feel a trace of cold wind.
Fortunately, the wind is not strong, the flame just beats a few times, it will not be blown out.
Shao Xuan wrapped in animal skin, and continued to walk in memory. Caesar followed immediately.
There are many stone chambers deep in the cave, which are distributed like branches. The stone chambers where debris is piled up are the second to last from the right, which is quite large.
The air vents in the stone room are blocked. Shao Xuan looks at the sundries with a torch. Some items have been used before. Later, the children in the cave were probably too lazy to use these again, just waiting for the tribe to send food, and all these tools and debris were piled up here.
In addition to a few stone bench, there are also things that set up a stone pot, Shao Xuan is not interested.
After looking through it for a while, the Shao Xuan's gaze fell on a disc. The disc of stony has a flat bottom and the edge is a finger higher.
Sheng stuff ate? What else do you do with a stone pot?
Leave the stone plate aside, continue to look at the others, turn it over, Shao Xuan moves once, look back at the stone plate thrown aside again. Take a rough look with your hands, then raise the torch to see the blocked vents.
Many of the vents in the stone caves are relatively large, both ventilating and transmitting light.
Shao Xuan glanced back and forth between the blocked vent and the stone plate, then picked up the stone plate and returned along the way.
Added firewood to burn the fire a bit, took the snow from the thick snow layer in the cave and put it in the stone pot, Shao Xuan put the stone plate outside the grass curtain at the entrance, and poured the melted snow water Go in. After waiting for a while, Shao Xuan went to see again and found that the water already was frozen.
Drag the stone plate into the hole, burn the edge of the lower stone plate with fire, then reverse the stone plate, and the round ice-shaped ice cubes are poured out.
Some sleepless children watched Shao Xuan back and forth in wonder, very curious, wrapped in a blanket and afraid of getting cold and too lazy to stand up, they stretched their necks to look over Shao Xuan, the fire was not on, they couldn't see Clearly what Shao Xuan is doing.
The hands are too cold, Shao Xuan is wrapped in ice with animal skin, holding the ice and stepping on a stone, let the stoma pull all thatch blocked in this vent.
Nothing is blocking, the cold wind outside is pouring in, the children in the ice cave are agitated, the Shao Xuan standing at the vent is even more intense, and the face is wooden. Hurry up with the stamina and push the ice cube inward towards the vent.
As expected by Shao Xuan, the ice cubes are about the same size as the vents, only a little smaller, and this point just made him push the ice cubes into the vents.
The Shao Xuan did not understand why there was a depression in the vent. Now I know it is used to catch ice. There is a little gap, just plug it with thatch.
When the ice cubes are installed, the cold wind outside doesn't blow in, but the light shines through the ice cubes into the cave. There is no blazing sun in winter, but there is still some light outside during the day.
From the perspective of Shao Xuan, such light transmittance is still not very satisfactory, and the design has many defects, but for these children, already is very satisfied.
Every open mouth, staring at the bright air vents, dumbfounded, as if stupid.
It turns out that winter can be very bright.
Shao Xuan only has one installed, and the rest is left for others to do. Many volunteers have volunteered this time. People who were too lazy just now came around the blanket.
Guided them to make another ice cube and install it in a vent. Shao Xuan let them continue on their own. Each child wanted to test it by himself. Shao Xuan decided to come in groups and install one for five together. Too high, they will solve it in the way of the stack.
Shao Xuan allows them to be careful not to break when they use it. I don't know how long these stone plates have been stored here, at least in recent years they have never been used.
No problem, Shao Xuan took the torch back to the stone room with debris, turned it over, turned it over to four discs, and one of them worked, and the other three were broken.
Take out the second disc and make an ice cube to install in the vent of this stone room. This time, you can see the situation in the stone room without using the torch Shao Xuan.
The children over there are busy making ice cubes. Shao Xuan continues to flip here to see if there is anything else that can be used.
When flipping, Shao Xuan's arm rubbed over the stone wall, and it was found that the powder fell on the stone wall.
Shao Xuan is very puzzled. The stone walls in other places in the cave are not like this. Leaning over and looking closely, he found that the surface of this stone room was covered with a layer of something, as if it had been brushed with stone powder.
He saw that someone from the tribe had used a similar method to brush wood against insects and rot, but this is just a cave. Why use such a method to brush the stone wall? Moreover, looking at this situation, the age is long enough.
The years I just brushed up must be tightly covered, but now already is a long time away from the time the tribe lived in the cave. The powder layer covering the stone walls has loosened as early as already, and some places have started to fall. With one hand, you can wipe a lot.
Take out stone blade and scrape it off, and wipe off the stone powder on the wall. With the light coming in, Shao Xuan saw that there are some patterns in this place on the cleaned stone wall.
A woman is holding a jar. The diameter of the jar is wide and wide, but the bottom is pointed and tapered. The jar also has patterns. Shao Xuan has never seen anyone using such a stone pot in the tribe. The tribal people have always been practical and not exquisite.
Maybe someone living on the mountain will have such a house. Shao Xuan thought.
Erasing another area, there are more than a dozen Warriors on the stone wall holding bows and arrows, chasing prey.
Shao Xuan remembers that Lang Ga told him that very few people in the tribe use bows, because there is no good material to make bows that can withstand the arm strength of Totem Warrior. All that is made now is just to set traps and drive prey. Hunting, not for Totem Warrior. But in these pictures carved on the stone wall, each Warrior has a big bow in the hand!
Shao Xuan is holding a knife to scrape more stone powder and look at other covered paintings on the stone wall. After thinking about it, put down the knife, Shao Xuan took water, and carefully washed the stone wall with animal skin in water. He thought that the painting on the stone wall might tell him a lot of interesting things.
