Early the next morning, Lang Ga and the others came to the cave to look for Shao Xuan.
The wood was ready, and they were just waiting for Shao Xuan to name the place. They would start building the house on whichever piece of land he liked.
Shao Xuan was familiar with the mountain foot district. With his current condition, it was impossible for him to build a house on the mountainside. Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
As for the place to build the house, Shao Xuan already had his eyes on it. Although it was a little out of the way, he could see the situation on the mountain, the foot of the mountain, and the cave from there.
Lang Ga and the others were very familiar with building a wooden house, and with their great strength, it took them only half a day to build the wooden house. They just needed to fix some small details, and the wooden house could be lived in directly.
This was the first time they built a house, and the area of the wooden house was only about forty square meters. It looked okay, and they could expand it by themselves in the future. At least they would have their own place in the future. Overall, Shao Xuan was very satisfied.
Lang Ga and the others wanted to chop the extra wood for firewood, but Shao Xuan stopped them. He asked Lang Ga to help him build a simple wooden bed. Some people in the tribe liked to sleep on stone beds, some liked to sleep on haystacks, and some people built their beds with wood. Shao Xuan naturally preferred the latter.
It looked much more comfortable than sleeping in the cave.
"Xuan!"
Shao Xuan heard the voice and looked over. It was a middle-aged woman named Yi. She did not awaken her totemic power, and also lived in the mountain foot district. She took some sewing jobs, and was a good person. Shao Xuan often asked her to help him sew animal skin bags. Yesterday, he took the fish and asked Yi to help him sew it. He also told her in detail how it looked like. He thought it would take two or three days, but it was done so quickly.
"Aunt Yi, is it done?" Shao Xuan asked with a smile.
"Yes, it's not a problem."
Yi handed the things over to Shao Xuan. Because he still had work to do, he did not stay for long. He left after giving the things to Shao Xuan.
"What's this animal skin bag for?" Lang Ga, who was chopping wood, asked.
"Of course, it's for training." Shao Xuan didn't say much. He took the animal skin bag into the room and put it away. He hadn't tried it yet, so he didn't know if it would work.
Lang Ga and the others didn't have much curiosity, so they continued with the final touches of the house.
When they were almost done, Shao Xuan invited Lang Ga and the others to stay for lunch.
In addition to fish, there were also some plant tubers and fruits. These plants were brought over by Lang Ga and the others.
Among them, there were two young warriors who lived on the mountainside. They were interested in fish, but they didn't have much time to fish. When it was not their turn to hunt, they would prepare stone tools and train for the next hunt. Moreover, they didn't lack food, so they didn't join the fishing team.
"You can all take one back later. I have a lot of fish here." Shao Xuan didn't lie. Yesterday afternoon, after he returned to the cave, he went to the river to fish with the kids in the cave. Usually, as long as he was free and there were no abnormalities in the river, fishing was a simple thing. Those fish were too stupid. Besides, when Shao Xuan joined the hunting team in the future, these kids would have to take care of him. Compared to that, a few fish were a small matter.
The young warriors were a little embarrassed, but when they saw that Shao Xuan really didn't care about it, they accepted it. They planned to chop some wood later to strengthen Shao Xuan's wooden house.
While they were eating, Ge came over with a big stone vat.
"Old Ke asked me to bring it to you. It's to celebrate you having your own house. You can use it to store food or water. " Ge put down the stone vat and looked at the wooden house that was almost finished. He said, "Not bad. I wanted to help, but it seems that I'm not needed anymore."
Shao Xuan curled his lips. If you really wanted to help, why did you come so late?
Lang Ga and the others knew that Ge was talking nonsense, but they didn't say anything out of respect for the old warrior.
"Hey, is this stone vat for Xuan?" Lang Ga asked a stupid question to change the topic.
"Yes, Old Ke specially made it for Xuan." Ge emphasized "Old Ke" and "specially" when he said that, and looked at Shao Xuan.
According to Ge's understanding of Old Ke, the old man was naturally very satisfied with Shao Xuan. In the past, Old Ke also wanted to teach someone, but unfortunately, all of them were disappointing. They were either impatient or indecisive. When they encountered a medium-high quality stone core, they didn't dare to touch it. At that time, Old Ke directly drove them away and didn't pay any attention to them. Many people thought that Old Ke was unreasonable, but in fact, Old Ke was just too disappointed.
But now that he finally had his eyes on someone, Old Ke still had a long face. If he angered Shao Xuan this time, who would be better than Shao Xuan in the future? Ge looked at him anxiously.
In fact, on the night of Shao Xuan's awakening, after the sacrificial ceremony, Ke came back and asked Ge to exchange for a suitable big stone. After working for two consecutive nights, he finally made this stone vat.
This stone vat was about the same size as the one Ge used to send food to the cave every day, but the workmanship was much better. The stone vat was almost the same thickness, and the inside was polished very smooth. The outside was not only polished very carefully, but also carved with some patterns, such as mountains, rivers, birds and beasts. Shao Xuan had not seen many birds and beasts before, but Ke must have seen them when he went out hunting.
People like Ke usually only thought about the practical aspects when making stone tools, and rarely did they make any fancy designs. Now that he made a water vat for Shao Xuan like this, it was obvious that Ke valued Shao Xuan very much.
"This stone vat is so beautiful." Lang Ga and the others surrounded the stone vat and said enviously.
Although they usually valued practicality more, and didn't care much about a water vat, who wouldn't like more beautiful objects?
This stone vat was not only big, but also had special carvings and a matching stone lid. Usually, most people would just cover it with animal skins or straw mats, or just cover it with stone slabs. Very few people would have a cover for the entire water tank. Even the two young warriors who lived on the mountainside didn't have such a cover for their water tanks.
"Yeah, what a good vat. I've lived for so many years, but I've never seen such a stone vat at home." Ge said.
"Is the Ke you're talking about the one who was famous for making traps?" Ang, who came with Lang Ga, asked.
"Yes, that's him." Lang Ga nodded.
"I heard that many people wanted to learn from Ke, but later …" Ang didn't continue.
What happened later?
Later on, those who wanted to learn from Ke were either driven away by anger, scolded, or forced to leave. Later on, gradually no one went to him, and Ke moved from the mountain to the mountain foot area.
Ke was indeed very famous in the tribe, but now very few people would mention him.
"Old Ke is very capable. Although he is very strict, you can learn good things from him." Ge said to Shao Xuan earnestly.
"Yes, Xuan, are you learning from Ke now? You must hold on, Ke was really good at that time! "
Lang Ga also came over. In order to encourage Shao Xuan, he also told him about his experience of learning to set a ground bow from his grandfather. At that time, he was also scolded like shit. At that time, he was not only scolded, but also beaten. Lang Ga's grandfather was also a very good warrior. Lang Ga couldn't escape from the old man's hands.
Every time the children living around saw Lang Ga being beaten, they would laugh at him. At that time, Lang Ga felt very embarrassed and blamed his grandfather for a long time. Later, when Lang Ga really became a warrior, he realized his grandfather's good intentions.
They hunted in the forest. Although the ground bow couldn't directly kill the beasts, it could still play a key role. Because of his excellent skill in setting a ground bow, Lang Ga was quickly accepted by the hunting team. Every time after a hunt, he would get a lot of food, at least more than others at the same level of strength.
"If you can learn more skills, your future path will be much easier. Not only will you be able to occupy a more important position in the hunting team, but if you are injured during a hunt and become like me and old Ke, it will be inconvenient for you to hunt with the hunting team. But if you stay in the tribe, you can at least learn more skills to make a living, and live a better life without starving." Said Ge.
Therefore, Lang Ga and Ge both agreed that even if they were scolded like shit, they had to bear with it and learn as many skills as they could. It would be best if they could squeeze all the skills out of their opponents! Not to mention that Ke had a lot of good things hidden away, so they had to squeeze even more!
Listening to their words, Shao Xuan nodded solemnly, "I know what you mean. If you want to learn skills from others, you can ask for anything, but you can't be shameless. "
Lang Ga and Ge said, "Yes!!"
