Original War

Chapter 18 Mural

Those who can come over to teach will naturally not be an idiot who only knows one to ten years old. What’s more, this kind of old hunter, even if he doesn’t know much about others, is absolutely good at counting. This is a must for hunting out. Knowing the knowledge, the competition between hunting team and hunting team is also indispensable to use numbers.

Knowing that the children in the cave were almost able to count them from one to thirty, the old hunter was surprised and surprised, but also had a hint of joy and relief. He loves to teach people, but unfortunately in the mountains, the children there don’t need him to teach.

Rare interest came, and the old hunter taught very hard today.

I can learn more counts, the noisy cave is also quiet, and there is no noise and substitutions, and the boys listened with ears upright. Shao Xuan mainly reads the tribe’s words, and the children learn more about counting. As for the most boring thing in the cave, it is probably only Caesar who is sleeping on a straw mat.

When the old hunter left, he hadn’t had enough time to teach, and he was reluctant to give up. He would come here two or three times a winter in previous years. Now he is very good at teaching. Even if he wants to come a few more times, he can’t get down the world. After thinking about it, the old hunter left the animal skin in his hand. It was not the one he took out at the beginning, but a larger animal skin with more numbers and words recorded for Shao Xuan to keep, who If you want to see it, go to Shao Xuan.

The air vents on this side of the cave have been blocked with thatch, and there is no light coming in. After the winter, the cave will be the same day and night, and it is impossible to burn a fire in the cave all day. There was firewood in the cave. Soldiers had brought it over two days ago, but they couldn’t afford to burn all day long.

Shao Xuan looked at the fire and thought, if the hole could be brighter, it would be convenient to do everything.

Caesar lay next to Shao Xuan and gnawed raw fish. He didn’t like cooked food.

The fine teeth left after eating the fish in the cave are not good for other tools, they are too small, they can’t go out hunting, and hunting tools are not available. Shao Xuan directly made a few brushes, brushed Caesar, and combed his hair.

There are combs in the tribe, but the children in the cave are not very interested in combing their hair. The image problem is not as important as the food problem. People in the tribe, both men and women, have long and short hair. Those who don’t like long hair will use a knife to cut their hair short, but there is no one on the cave to cut the children’s hair, one by one, they are disheveled.

The slightly larger fish teeth were scrambled to make necklaces by the children in the cave.

Use the horns or teeth of the prey to make decorations with more species characteristics. This is a way for people in the tribe to show off their hunting ability. Some warriors will give this kind of decorations to their beloved girls to please, and women will also compare them with each other. They are higher than the necklaces who wear them. Which bird species the feathers on their heads belong to is more ferocious, and the more powerful the prey is made. The more they are worn, the more they are envied by tribesmen.

Children will naturally compare. Most of the necklaces worn by the children near the foot of the mountain are made of the horns, teeth or a certain part of the bones of the prey after the elders go out hunting. Many children in the cave have long lost their parents, and no one gave them such decorations. Every time they walk around in the tribe, they admire other children with ornaments. This is why they often fight with other children in the tribe.But now, they can use the teeth of the prey they have caught to make a necklace, can they be unhappy? Now, they also have necklaces, no need for those children to wear badly! This group of children likes fish so much is also related to the fish tooth necklace.

Shao Xuan didn’t grab the teeth from them, and the larger ones that were suitable for necklaces were given to other children. When he stuttered to visit him, Little Sister, he brought a fish tooth, which was bigger than the ones he carried himself.

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 sat by the fire while eating and exchanged countless experiences. And Moore also practiced the knife every day. He had already mastered the count and knew more words than the other children in the cave. Every day when the fire was lit, he practiced the knife in the corner, threw a stone in the air, and then Swinging a knife, after all, there is no Ye Yan for him to practice.

After eating, the children in the cave fell asleep one by one. The wood in the fire was about to burn out. Shao Xuan added a piece of wood to it. After the end of the wood burned, he took the burning wood and went into the cave. Go deep.

When he checked the depths of the cave that day, he found a stone chamber piled with debris. The stone chamber was very messy. The stone pots used by the children in the cave were also found by Shao Xuan. In addition to the stone pots, Shao Xuan Did not take a closer look at anything else. I’m not busy today, so I took a torch and took a look to see if I could dig out something useful.

Although the vents in the sleeping place are blocked, there are still slits and small openings in the depths of the hole that connect to the outside. When you continue to go deep, you can feel a faint of cold wind.

Fortunately, the wind was not strong, and the flame only bounced a few times and would not be blown out.

Shao Xuan wrapped in animal skins and continued to walk in according to his memory. Caesar followed closely.

There are many stone chambers in the depths of the cave, which are distributed in a tree shape.

The vents in the stone room were blocked, and Shao Xuan took a torch to look at the debris here. Some items have been used before, and then maybe the children in the cave didn’t bother to use them again. They just waited for the tribe to distribute food, and all these tools and sundries were piled up here and dusted.

In addition to a few stone benches, there are also things that set up stone pots, and Shao Xuan is not interested.

After flipping for a while, Shao Xuan’s gaze fell on a disc, a stone disc with a flat bottom, and the edge was a finger higher.

What to eat? What do you still use this for when you have a stone pot?

Putting the stone plate aside, continuing to look at other things, turning over, Shao Xuan paused, and turned his head to look at the stone plate that was thrown aside again. I took a rough measurement with my hand, then raised the torch to look at the blocked vent.

Many of the vents in the stone cave are opened relatively large, which can ventilate and transmit light.

Shao Xuan glanced back and forth between the blocked vent and the stone pan, then picked up the stone pan and returned along the road.

Firewood was added to burn the fire a bit, and snow was taken from the thick snow layer at the entrance of the cave and placed in the stone pot. Shao Xuan placed the stone plate outside the grass curtain at the entrance of the cave and poured the melted snow into it. After waiting for a while, Shao Xuan went to look again and found that the water had frozen.

Drag the stone tray into the hole, burn the edge of the lower stone tray with fire, then turn the stone tray upside down, and the ice cubes inside are poured out.

There were a few children who hadn’t slept watching Shao Xuan go back and forth in doubt. They were very curious. They were too lazy to stand up because they were wrapped in blankets, and they craned their necks to look at Shao Xuan. The fire was not bright and they couldn’t see clearly. What is Shao Xuan doing?

It was too cold with his hands directly, Shao Xuan wrapped the ice in animal skins, and stepped on a rock with the ice in his arms.

Nothing is blocked, the cold wind outside is pouring in, and the child in the ice cave is agitated, and Shao Xuan, who is standing in the vent, feels even more intense, feeling that his face is wooden. Quickly stammered and pushed the ice cube inward toward the vent.

As Shao Xuan expected, the ice cubes were about the size of the vents, only a little smaller, and this little bit just allowed him to push the ice cubes into the vents.

In the past, Shao Xuan didn’t understand why there was a depression in the vent, but now he knows it is used to jam the ice. There are still some gaps, just use thatch to plug it directly.

When the ice cubes were installed, the cold wind from outside didn’t blow in anymore, but the light shone from the ice cubes into the cave. There is no blazing sun here in winter, but there is still some brightness outside during the day.

In Shao Xuan’s view, this light transmittance is still not very satisfactory, and the design has many flaws, but for these children, it is already very satisfying.

They opened their mouths wide, staring at the bright vents, dumbfounded, as if they were silly.

It turns out that it can be very bright in winter.

Shao Xuan only installed one, and let others do the rest. Many people volunteered this time. Those who didn’t bother to get up just now came over around the blanket.

Instructed them to make another ice cube and install it in a vent. Shao Xuan asked them to continue. Every child wanted to try it out himself. Shao Xuan decided to come in groups and install one with five people. Where it is too high, they will solve it by stacking Arhats.

Shao Xuan asked them to be careful not to break them when they used them. I don’t know how long these stone plates have been stored here, at least they have never used them in recent years.

Seeing that there is no problem, Shao Xuan took the torch and returned to the stone room where the debris was piled up. He turned it over and found four discs. Only one worked, and the other three were broken.

Take the second disc out and made an ice cube installed in the vent of the stone room where the sundries are placed. This time, Shao Xuan can see the situation in the stone room clearly without using a torch.

The children over there are busy making ice cubes, while Shao Xuan continues to flip here to see if there is anything else that can be used.

When turning over, Shao Xuan’s arm brushed the stone wall and found that powder was falling off the stone wall.

Shao Xuan was very puzzled. The stone walls in other places in the cave were not like that. He leaned over and took a closer look. He found that the surface of the stone walls of this stone room was covered with a layer of things, as if it had been treated with stone powder and brushed up.

He saw that someone in the tribe used this similar method to brush wood to prevent insects and corrosion, but this is just a cave. Why use such a method to brush stone walls? Moreover, looking at this situation, it is old enough.

It must have been covered tightly in the first few years, but now it has been a long time since the tribe lived in the cave. The powder layer covering the stone wall has already become loose, and some places have begun to fall. You can wipe it with your hands. Can erase a lot.

He took out the stone knife and scraped it, and wiped the stone powder on the wall. With the light that penetrated in, Shao Xuan saw that this place on the wiped stone wall was carved with some patterns.

A woman is holding a jar. The diameter of the jar is wide and wide, but the bottom is pointed and tapered. There are patterns on the jar. Shao Xuan did not see anyone in the tribe using such stone pots. The tribe people always pay attention to practicality, not exquisiteness.

Maybe people living on the mountain will have this in their homes. Shao Xuan thought.

After wiping out a place, the stone wall depicts a dozen warriors holding bows and arrows, chasing their prey.

Shao Xuan remembers that Lang Ga told him that very few people in the tribe use bows because there is no good material that can make a bow that can withstand the strength of the totem warrior’s arm. Now they are only used to set traps and drive away prey. Hunting only, not for totem warriors. But in these pictures carved on the stone wall, each soldier has a big bow!

Shao Xuan took the knife and planned to scrape off more stone dust to look at the other covered paintings on the stone wall. After thinking for a while, put down the knife, Shao Xuan took water, and carefully wiped the stone wall with the animal skin moistened with water. He felt that the paintings on the walls of this stone room might tell him a lot of interesting things.
