Lang Ga choked.
Originally, Lang Ga had thought of several possible answers that Shao Xuan might give. Then, as an elder and an experienced person, he would answer and teach him one by one, just like when new members joined. However, Lang Ga did not expect that Shao Xuan would not follow the rules at all. He really did not understand why Shao Xuan would give such an answer.
What did it matter?
However, Lang Ga did not think too much about it. With a stern face, he corrected, "It's the stone!"
"You should also know that a long time ago, when our tribe first settled here, we lived in the stone cave. Every day, we would see and touch stones. They could shelter us from the wind and rain, cut wood, and chop firewood for us."
As he spoke, Lang Ga's stern face became lighter. His emotions were slightly excited. He clenched his fist and said, "At the same time, we also use stones. With them, we can pierce through the thick skin of fierce beasts! We use stones to smash the heads of those prey! Even if we are in danger, the stones will still be with us until the last moment! "
They could provide protection, accompany, and never betray or abandon. People in the tribe began to touch stones from the moment they were born. They played with stones, used stones daily, and used stones as tools. For warriors who often went out to hunt, stones were more than familiar. They could not live without stones. No wonder Lang Ga said so.
Of course, Shao Xuan preferred to call stones tools. After all, stones had no life.
"Now, do you know who our closest partner is?" Lang Ga looked at Shao Xuan. His eyes seemed to say: Little guy, try saying something wrong again.
Shao Xuan nodded seriously and seriously. "Stone!"
"Ha, that's right." Lang Ga suddenly showed a satisfied smile and continued to talk about hunting.
"By the way, Xuan, you have just awakened. You can't participate in the first hunt this year. Maybe you can't participate in the second one either. As for the third one, it depends on your ability." Lang Ga said.
Huh? There was such a saying? Shao Xuan really didn't understand.
Seeing Shao Xuan's confusion, Lang Ga explained, "You've just awakened, so you're not familiar with using your abilities yet. You'll have to go through a period of training."
Lang Ga was tactful, but Shao Xuan could guess the reason from these words.
The reason why the newly awakened children were not allowed to participate was to protect them. After the end of winter, when the flowers bloomed in the warm spring, many wild beasts that had been hungry for the whole winter would become active again in the forest. The poisonous snakes were also more venomous. The forest was full of all kinds of dangers. If no one followed and protected them at all times, it was very easy to die in the forest. The tribesmen didn't want to see such a thing happen.
The second reason was that Shao Xuan's group was not up to standard yet. In a hunting team that valued teamwork, they would only be a burden. Not only would they not be able to help, but they would also drag the team down.
"Understood." Shao Xuan was not disappointed after he thought it through. Besides, he also felt that they should build a good foundation first. More practice was not a bad thing.
He thought that Shao Xuan would be disappointed or unwilling like the other children, but he didn't expect that Shao Xuan would be able to think it through. Lang Ga was relieved. He pulled Shao Xuan over so that Shao Xuan could get to know a few people in the hunting team, and also to talk to Shao Xuan about this. In the past, many children sharpened their knives and wanted to go hunting with them, but they were told that they couldn't go the first two times. Many of them made a lot of noise. Usually, in that kind of situation, the children would be disciplined by their elders. After a few punches and slaps, they would become much more obedient. But Shao Xuan came from the orphan cave, and had no parents now. He was still young, and looked thinner than other children. Lang Ga was really afraid that he would be hurt.
"Okay, I'm relieved that you can think it through. Oh right, I have a few good stone cores here. You can see if you can use them. You can polish them yourself, or go find a stonemason."
Lang Ga took out several stones of different sizes from a big animal skin bag, which were the stone cores that Lang Ga mentioned.
Stone cores were the raw materials for making stone tools.
After giving the stone cores to Shao Xuan, Lang Ga also told Shao Xuan some of his training experiences. The others didn't hide anything from him, because they didn't have such an awareness.
Shao Xuan kept their suggestions in mind, and sincerely thanked them.
"Your father helped me when he was alive." Lang Ga said. People in the hunting group were all like that. They would help each other whenever they could. Although they couldn't help much, at least they could make Shao Xuan's life easier.
After eating the barbecue, Shao Xuan left. He still had things to do, and Lang Ga and the others would continue to discuss the upcoming hunting in five days.
Shao Xuan came out of Lang Ga's room. He didn't walk far before he was stopped by someone.
"Are you Xuan?"
Shao Xuan looked towards the direction of the voice. It was a kid who was a little older than Shao Xuan. He looked about the same age as Sai, but he was a little stronger. The animal skin he was wearing was of good quality. He didn't look like he lived in the mountain foot district. He should live on the mountainside or even higher. Shao Xuan had some impression of him. He awakened in the same batch, but Shao Xuan didn't know his name.
At this moment, the kid lifted his chin slightly, looking arrogant. He was sizing up Shao Xuan.
Didn't his eyes get tired of lifting his chin while standing at a high place? Shao Xuan looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
At first, Shao Xuan thought that Fei would put on airs and say something like "It doesn't matter who I am", but Shao Xuan heard him say directly, "My name is Fei. Five days later, I will go out with the hunting team to participate in the first hunt of the year. You have to wait for a long time, don't you? "
After saying that, he proudly laughed at Shao Xuan, and then jumped over Shao Xuan's head. When he landed on the ground, he jumped again. After a few leaps, he was standing in front of Lang Ga's door. Obviously, he wanted to talk to Lang Ga.
Before entering the house, the kid turned around and snorted at Shao Xuan, showing off and complacent. That move just now was not bad among his peers. His father often praised him for running faster, jumping higher, and jumping further than others.
Shao Xuan scratched his chin. That kid made such a big noise when he landed. Was it really okay for him to go hunting with them?
However, for a kid like Fei, who had just awakened, to be able to go hunting with the hunting group for the first time, it was obvious that someone in the group was protecting him, and that person must have a high position in the group. Otherwise, people like Lang Ga and the others would have no right to speak.
Being protected by someone was indeed willful.
However, Shao Xuan was not discouraged. He was not depressed because of what happened just now. He was not a real kid, and he knew how to make progress step by step. He was not so eager for quick success. This kind of thing might affect other kids, but he didn't care at all.
Shao Xuan took Caesar to catch some fish. After a whole winter, the fish in the river were still so stupid, biting the bait and not letting go. They looked fierce, but unfortunately, they did not have much intelligence.
When he was at Lang Ga's place, he heard them talking about hunting. Shao Xuan knew that many prey in the forest were like piranhas in the river. They looked fierce and had long teeth all day long, but as long as you knew the trick, it was easy to catch them. Some prey looked docile, had no fangs, and were vegetarian, but if you were not careful, you would be sent to heaven. Their aggressiveness was not inferior to many carnivorous species.
After all, this was an unfamiliar world, so it was better to be prepared. Shao Xuan thought.
Carrying the fish and a few pieces of old animal skin, Shao Xuan asked someone to help sew the animal skin bag and paid the crafting fee for one fish. Then he took the remaining three fish to the stoneware maker Ke. Now that he was strong, he did not need Caesar's help. Shao Xuan was not tired carrying four big fish by himself.
When Shao Xuan arrived, a few people came out of Ke's house, holding various finished stoneware in their hands, such as stone knives, spearheads, adzes, and so on.
These people were all here to exchange for stoneware. After all, the hunting was about to begin, so they also needed to prepare more tools. Ke was a famous stoneware maker in the mountain foot area, so naturally, there were many people here. However, if it were not for Ke's bad temper, there would be more people coming to exchange for stoneware. Every year, Ke would drive away some people who came to exchange for stoneware.
Some people said that Ke was just too direct. When he spoke, he was merciless and did not know how to beat around the bush. However, Shao Xuan did not think so. Did Ke really not know many things? Was he really that straightforward? Not necessarily.
After getting permission, Shao Xuan lifted the curtain and walked in.
Ke was making stoneware. During the winter, he made some stoneware, but these two days, he exchanged most of them. There were still some stone cores and food piled up in the house. These were the "processing fee" that he had not collected yet.
Putting the fish on the side of the pile of food, Shao Xuan came to Ke.
"Uncle Ke, I want to learn how to make stoneware."
Last time when Shao Xuan came to learn, Ke said that it was not the right time yet, and that he should wait until he awakened his totem power.
Now, Shao Xuan had awakened his totem power, and according to Lang Ga's training method, he needed a lot of stoneware tools. Shao Xuan did not have enough food to exchange for training stoneware, so he wanted to make stoneware himself.
Ke stopped what he was doing, and looked at Shao Xuan carefully from head to toe, and then looked directly into Shao Xuan's eyes.
Shao Xuan did not avoid it.
A few seconds later, Ke handed Shao Xuan a stone hammer, and pointed at a stone core not far away. There were a few lines drawn on the stone core, but they were all curved instead of straight lines.
"Follow the lines and hit." Ke said.
As a newcomer, Shao Xuan took the stone hammer, looked at Ke, and then looked at the stone core. He lifted the hammer and hit it.
The first hit was too cautious. He hit the line, but only made a small dent on the stone core. He did not use enough strength.
Again!
The second hit was too forceful. What he hit was not a stone chip, but a stone, and it went beyond the line.
Shao Xuan caught a glimpse of Ke's forehead, and knew that Ke was very dissatisfied with his two hits. But since Ke did not say anything, Shao Xuan continued to hit the stone along the line, and he did it boldly. He was not afraid of the first two hits.
Peeling a stone chip of a predetermined size from the stone core was not as simple as it seemed. The stoneware maker had to estimate the length of contact between the hammer and the stone core, the angle of impact, the speed, and so on according to different stone materials. Was it a straight hit? Or a curved hit? What was the material of the stone hammer and stone core? How much strength should be used, and so on, and so on.
Ke had told Shao Xuan all these, and Shao Xuan had seen Ke peel the stone chips from the stone core every time he came here. But when he really started to do it, he knew that it was very difficult!
A small difference could lead to a huge difference.
Again!!
Shao Xuan hammered again and again, while Ke sat beside and watched silently.
Caesar, who was squatting beside, looked at Shao Xuan, and then looked at Ke, who was silent but had a strange look on his face. He moved his legs, moved back, and moved again … and directly retreated to the corner to lie down with the fish.

Sorry, that's it.
