Chapter 17 Murals

Those who can come here to be responsible for teaching will naturally not be an idiot who only knows one to ten years old. Moreover, even if such an old hunter doesn't know much about others, counting is absolutely good. This is a knowledge that must be known when going out to hunt. The competition between hunting teams and hunting teams is indispensable.

Knowing that the kids in the cave could almost count them within one to thirty, the old hunter was surprised and surprised, but also felt a little joy and gratitude. He loved to teach people, but unfortunately, he didn't need him to teach the children there at all.

It was rare to get interested, and the old hunter taught very carefully today.

He could learn more numbers, and the noisy hole was quiet and he stopped making a fuss. The little boys were listening with their ears on their ears. Shao Xuan mainly reads the tribe's words, while these children learned more numbers. As for the most boring thing in the hole, it was probably Caesar who was sleeping on the straw mat.

When the old hunter left, he had not taught him enough to enjoy himself, and he was quite reluctant to leave. In previous years, he only came here two or three times in a winter. Now he was very happy to teach. Even if he wanted to come a few more times, he would not be able to go down the mountain every day. 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, and let Shao Xuan keep it. Anyone who wants to see it would go to Shao Xuan.

The vents in the cave have been blocked with thatch and no light has been shining in. After winter, the cave is the same day and night, and it is impossible for the fire to burn all day long. There is fire in the cave. Warriors brought it here two days ago, but they cannot afford to burn all day long.

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

Caesar lay beside Shao Xuan and ate raw fish. It didn't like to eat cooked food.

The fine fish teeth left by the fish in the hole were not easy to use as other tools. They were too small, so they could not go out to hunt, and they could not use hunting tools. Shao Xuan made a few brushes directly, bristled Caesar's hair, and combed his hair himself.

There are combs in the tribe, but the children in the hole are not very interested in combing their hair, and their image problems are not as important as food problems. People in the tribe, regardless of gender, have long hair and short hair. Those who don’t like long hair, use a knife to cut their hair short. However, no one in the hole cuts the hair for those children, one by one, one with a disheveled hair.

The slightly larger fish teeth were scrambled to make necklaces.

Decorate with objects such as prey horns or teeth that have more species characteristics. This is how people in the tribe use to show off their hunting abilities. Some warriors will give this decoration to their beloved girls to please, and women will also compete with each other, comparing who brings higher necklaces, etc., and which bird species is more vicious to the feathers on their heads. The more powerful the decoration made of prey, the more envied the tribes they wear.

Of course, children will be more familiar with each other. Most of the necklaces brought by children near the foot of the mountain are made of the horns, teeth or bones of prey after going out to hunt. Many children in the hole have long lost their parents, and no one gives them such decorations. Every time they go to the tribe, they envy other children with ornaments, and often fight with other children in the tribe. This is why.

But now, can they be unhappy if they can use the teeth of the prey they have caught to make necklaces? Now, they also have necklaces, so there is no need for those children to wear poorly! These kids like fish so much is also related to fish teeth necklaces.

Shao Xuan didn't compete with them for fish teeth, and the larger ones suitable for necklaces were given to other children. When he stuttered to visit his sister, he brought a fish tooth, which was bigger than the few fish teeth he brought himself with him.

Not easy.

When Shao Xuan was thinking about how to improve the condition in the cave, the children in the cave were not so entangled. Every day, they only sat by the fire while eating and exchanged their experience in counting. Moore also practiced knife every day. He had mastered counting and knew more than other children in the cave. Every day when the fire was on, he practiced knife in the corner, threw a stone into the air, and then slashed the knife. After all, there were no Ye Yan here 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, and when the end of the wood burned, he took the burning wood and walked deep into the cave.

When he checked the depths of the cave that day, he found a stone chamber piled with miscellaneous items. The stone chamber was very messy. Shao Xuan also dug out the stone pots used by the children in the cave. Apart from the stone pot, Shao Xuan didn't look at anything else at that time. He was idle today, so he took the torch to see if he could find something useful.

Although the vents in the sleeping place were blocked, there were still thin slits and small openings deep in the hole. When you continued to walk deeper, you could feel a hint of cold wind blowing over.

Fortunately, the wind was not strong, and the flames just jumped a few times and would not be blown out.

Shao Xuan wrapped himself in an animal leather jacket and continued to walk in as he remembered. Caesar followed closely.

There are many stone chambers deep in the cave, distributed in the shape of branches, and the stone chamber with debris piled up is the second to last on the right, which is quite large.

The vents in the stone room were blocked, and Shao Xuan took the torch to look through the debris here. Some items had been used before, but later the children in the cave were too lazy to use them anymore, just waiting for the tribe to distribute food, and all these tools and debris were piled up here and covered with dust.

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

After looking through for a while, Shao Xuan's gaze fell on a disc, a stone disc with a flat bottom and a finger higher than the edge.

What to eat with something? Why do you use this for a stone pot?

Putting the stone plate aside and continuing to look through other things. As she flipped over, Shao Xuan paused and looked back at the stone plate that was thrown aside again. He measured it roughly with his hand, then raised the torch to look at the blocked vent.

Many vents in the stone cave are opened relatively largely, which can be ventilated and light-transmitted.

Shao Xuan's eyes looked back and forth between the blocked vent and the stone pan, and then picked up the stone pan and returned along the way.

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

Drag the stone plate into the hole, burn the edge of the stone plate with fire, then turn the stone plate upside down, and the round cake-shaped ice cubes inside were poured out.

Several children who were not sleeping looked at Shao Xuan's work back and forth in confusion, were curious, and were too lazy to stand up when they were wrapped in a blanket and afraid of the cold. They all stretched their necks to look at Shao Xuan. The fire was not bright, so they couldn't see what Shao Xuan was doing.

It was too cold to use his hands directly. Shao Xuan wrapped the ice in animal skin, held the ice and stepped on a stone, allowing the stutter to pull out all the thatch blocking the vent.

There was nothing blocking, and the cold wind outside poured into it. The child in the ice cave was shocked. Shao Xuan, who was standing at the vent, felt even more intense, and his face was stuttering. He quickly stuttered and pushed the ice into the vent.

As Shao Xuan expected, the size of the ice cube and the vent was about the same size as the vent, only a little smaller, and this little bit just allowed him to push the ice cube into the vent.

In the past, Shao Xuan didn't understand why there was a depression in the vent. Now he knew that it was used to jamm the ice. There were still some gaps, just use thatch to block it directly.

When the ice is filled, the cold wind outside does not blow in, but the light shines through the ice into the cave. There is no blazing sun in winter here, but there is still brightness outside during the day.

In Shao Xuan's opinion, this kind of light transmission is still not very satisfactory, and the design has many flaws, but for these children, it is already very satisfied.

They opened their mouths and stared at the Liangliang vents, stunned, as if they were stupid.

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

Shao Xuan only installed one, and let others do the rest. There were many people who volunteered this time. The people who were too lazy to get up just now came around the blanket.

I guided them to make another ice cube and install it in a ventilation vent. Shao Xuan asked them to continue on their own. Every child wanted to experiment with it himself. Shao Xuan decided to do it according to the group and install one of the five people together. If it is too high, they will solve the problem by stacking the arhats.

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

Seeing that there was no problem there, Shao Xuan took the torch back to the stone chamber where the pile of miscellaneous items, flipped over, and then flipped over four discs, one of which could be used, and the other three were broken.

I took out the second disc and made an ice cube to install it in the vent of this stone chamber where the debris was stored. This time, Shao Xuan could see clearly the situation inside the stone chamber without a torch.

The children there were busy making ice cubes, and Shao Xuan continued to flip here to see if there was anything else available.

When he was flipping, Shao Xuan's arm rubbed across the stone wall and found that powder was falling off the stone wall.

Shao Xuan was very confused. The stone walls in other places in the cave were not like this. He leaned over and looked carefully. He found that the surface of the stone wall in this stone chamber was covered with a layer of things, as if it was treated with stone powder and brushed on it.

He saw that some people in the tribe had used this similar method to brush wood and prevent insects and corrosion, but this is just a cave, so why should I use this method to brush stone walls? Moreover, depending on this situation, it has been a long time.

The years I just brushed it must have been covered tightly, but it has been a long time since the tribe lived in the cave. The powder layer covering the stone wall has long been loose, and some places have begun to fall. With a touch of your hand, you can wipe it away a lot.

He took out a stone knife and scraped it off, wiped off the stone powder from the wall. With the light coming in, Shao Xuan saw that there were some patterns on the clean stone wall.

A woman held a jar. The diameter of the jar was wide and wide, the bottom was pointed and conical, and there were patterns on the jar. Shao Xuan had never seen anyone use such stone jars in the tribe. People in the tribe always valued practicality rather than exquisiteness.

Maybe there will be such a person living on the mountain at home. Shao Xuan thought.

Another place was drawn, and the stone wall was carved with a dozen soldiers holding bows and arrows, chasing their prey.

Shao Xuan remembered that Lang Ga told him that few people in the tribe use bows because there is no good material to make bows that can withstand the arm strength of totem warriors. Now all they make are just used to set traps and drive out prey to assist in hunting, rather than to use them for totem warriors. However, in these pictures engraved on the stone wall, each warrior has a big bow in his hand!
