Lao Ke did not tell anyone about Shao Xuan's strangely rapid increase speed. According to the observations in the next few days, Shao Xuan found that Ke Ke and others had never mentioned it to anyone. Therefore, when the tribe saw Shao Xuan, they just praised him as a brave warrior, a warrior blessed by his ancestors. Apart from that, there was nothing else, and even the girder who often ran to Lao Ke did not know.

After returning, Shao Xuan sent some food for the hunting trip to several familiar families. Naturally, Lao Ke and Ge would not leave. There were Aunt Ayi who helped Shao Xuan sew things, the people who taught numbers, and the children in the cave.

The stone tools have been polished almost all. Wu and the leader sent some stone cores with very good stone materials. Shao Xuan polished a few spearheads, and Lao Ke had polished the tooth knife with broken tips again. The appearance was not very good, but it was OK to use it.

"Look, how is this?" Shao Xuan handed the polished stone spearhead to Lao Ke.

Lao Ke slowly raised his eyes and looked at it, but he didn't get started, and said directly: "Yes."

It is very difficult to get a "can" evaluation here for Lao Ke, because even if the works of many stone tools in the tribe are taken out, Lao Ke will mercilessly criticize "waste". In comparison, Shao Xuan's current polishing skills are quite proficient.

Shao Xuan put the polished stone tools aside, smiled and leaned against Lao Ke, and said, "You see, my skills in polishing stone tools are almost the same. You also said that if my technology is improved, I can only practice more... Can you carry out the next stage of teaching?"

Lao Ke was famous at that time not on the stone polishing tools, but on the very powerful skill of setting up sets!

"Want to learn?" Lao Ke asked in a deep voice, "It's very hard."

"Of course I want to! I'm not afraid of suffering!" Shao Xuan nodded quickly.

"Yes, you'll come back tomorrow morning."

"Oh, okay, then I'll leave first!" Shao Xuan still helped Lao Ke set up a stone pot and chopped the firewood before leaving.

After Shao Xuan left, Lao Ke couldn't help but smile on his expressionless face.

Early the next morning, when Shao Xuan took Caesar to Lao Ke, Lao Ke was already waiting.

"Bring it." Lao Ke pointed to a small wooden box next to him and walked out with a crutch.

Shao Xuan hurried over and moved the box up. It was not heavy, and he didn't open it to see what it contained inside.

Caesar was yawning, but unexpectedly, he was knocked by a wooden crutch on his head. He bared his teeth and looked over. Seeing that it was Lao Ke, he quickly put away his teeth again. Unexpectedly, Lao Ke walked to Caesar and sat on the wolf's back, almost suppressing Caesar who was not prepared.

Caesar moved uneasyly, and was taken by Lao Ke and became honest. It was not afraid of others in the foot of the mountain, but only feared Lao Ke.

"Go to the training ground." Lao Ke pointed to the direction with a crutch.

"Oh." Shao Xuan moved the box and went over there.

Caesar is one year old now and grows fast. He often helps Shao Xuan and Lao Ke transport things. It is natural to carry Lao Ke. He almost fell down just now but was not prepared.

So, when Ge was chewing and shaking the meat in the morning, he saw Lao Ke sitting comfortably on the wolf's back with a crutch in his morning. Ge almost choked.

Ge became familiar with Lao Ke later. He was also a disabled person in the tribe. He was also a person who couldn't rest and was thick-skinned, so he often ran to Lao Ke.

In Ge's opinion, Lao Ke was too strong. After losing one leg, he withdrew from the hunting team and did not allow others to help. In the end, he moved down the mountain and separated from his once familiar teammates living on the mountain. He did not accept gifts from others. He felt that it was a gift and hurt his self-esteem. Every year when he went up the mountain to attend the ceremony, he did not hold him, or lift him, so he just moved a cane and walked slowly up the mountain. He seemed to be afraid that others would not say that he could not walk, and he would walk by himself wherever he went, and he would have been stubborn for decades.

But what about now?

Who is sitting on the wolf's back?

It turns out that the attitudes towards wolves and people are different, right? Don’t you walk by yourself? Are you not afraid of being told by others?

What about your so-called "self-esteem"? Was it eaten by Caesar?!

There are several low mountains covered with trees on the training ground. Usually, everyone takes wood there, and there are not many plant species. There is nothing to eat except stone flying squirrels with particularly strong reproductive power. They have probably been eaten long ago.

Cutting down makes the trees here far less thick than those on the hunting forest, but they are enough for normal use. The thicker ones are also thicker than buckets.

Why do people hunt? Answer: In order to pursue adaptive strategies to maximize energy.

Fruits and vegetables, mixed grains, river fish, animal meat, etc. are all in tribal recipes. Fruits and vegetables and mixed grains can be found in the surrounding low mountains, but not many. River fish was newly added last year. People near the foot of the mountain eat a lot. As for animal meat, this is the staple food in the tribe and the food with the most energy contained in the recipes, especially high-level animal meat.

Therefore, tribal hunting not only follows the development strategies formulated by their ancestors, but also in order to meet their energy needs, the higher the level of warriors, the more they tend to be high-energy food, and low-energy food will not help them much.

In addition to assassination, slaughtering, etc., hunting will also use the method of setting traps. Good lassoes and traps can become extremely dangerous latent killers.

Lao Ke used to be a person who created a lurking killer.

After falling off Caesar's back, Lao Ke did not immediately teach Shao Xuan how to set up a lasso. Instead, he talked to Shao Xuan about things to pay attention to, such as how to use the environment and how to hide the traps.

After the talk, Lao Ke began to set up the set, starting with a simple approach, while busying himself, while explaining to Shao Xuan the technical key points contained in each step. Different types of sets, such as hole covers, intersection covers, flat covers, etc., have their own characteristics, and there are many changes based on prey species.

How big is the mouth ban of the cover? How much does it occupy the perimeter of the prey head? Is the connection line used for the type of cover better or more suitable for the straw rope? Double-sided cover, single-sided cover or composite cover? Or, a chain cover? Do you need to dig a hole? Do you need to set up a knife pile?

Although I have seen Langga set up a set, after listening to Lao Ke’s explanation, Shao Xuan realized that the styles of these two people are indeed very different.

Langga's family also sets traps. Langga's grandfather sets up a very good set, but the other party has a different style from Lao Ke.

To put it simply, Lao Ke’s trap is more insidious, more extreme, and more pursuing a set of killings.

After demonstrating a few simple traps, Lao Ke asked Shao Xuan to try it.

However, when you take down the lasso, you have to start with the weaving rope. All the straw ropes you brought over were used up just now.

"How about rubbing the straw rope? Do you need to teach you again? It is important to rub the straw rope and tie the rope to a good lasso," said Lao Ke.

Shao Xuan rubbed the straw rope in his hand and did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you know what my name is 'Xuan'?"

Lao Ke paused when he tied the knot, but he really didn't know.

People in tribes either just want to be simple and call them whatever they think of, for example, Lao Ke’s own name is; either named after familiar things or very memorable things, such as spears; and some use onomatopoeia as names, such as Ke Ke.

Raising his eyelids, Lao Ke waited for Shao Xuan's answer.

Shao Xuan shook the straw rope in his hand, shook his fingers, and then tightened it. A seemingly simple knot was completed. He laughed and said, "Don't you think the word Xuan looks like a knot made by a rubbed straw rope?"

He didn't lie. When he was born in his previous life, his grandmother was rubbing a straw rope. Later, when he wanted to give him a name, the old man flipped a decoration of oracle bone inscriptions at home and suddenly he took a fancy to the word "Xuan" like a trick. His grandmother said, "No matter how you look at this word, it looks like the straw rope we rub, just call it."

The tribal texts are very similar to the oracle bone script Xuan, so Shao Xuan's explanation will not make people doubt it.

Lao Ke looked at a rope ring woven next to Shao Xuan, and then looked at the knots that were tied on Shao Xuan's hand. They were all demonstrated just now, and they only demonstrated once!

Several of them are the knots he designed when he was hunting. They look simple but are very complicated when they are beaten. If there is a slight deviation, they will be a waste, and the effect of the trap will be very poor. As long as the cunning prey in the mountains and forests catch a loophole, they can escape.

As a suitor who must-kill, Lao Ke has very strict requirements on knots. But...

I also planned to teach slowly. After all, many people couldn't make a complete festival after learning for a long time, but I didn't expect that this kid could make it successfully after just one look!

Tugging the corners of his mouth, Lao Ke thought to himself: Is this child born to learn this trick?

This really makes people...so excited!
Chapter completed!
