Chronicles of Primordial Wars

After that, Shao Xuan stopped using the grass ropes provided by Kazawa, which was too wasteful. He practiced knots using ordinary grass ropes, which, although rough and burly, broke uncomfortable and burned as firewood if he could not untie them.

For five days in a row, apart from patrolling and hunting, Shao Xuan spent all his time trying to knot.

Old Ke didn't really understand why Shao Xuan was so obsessed with playing with grass rope, but since Shao Xuan insisted, he didn't say anything. The abandoned grass club, no matter how big or small, saved it as firewood.

Failing again, Shao Xuan was somewhat discouraged. He threw the grass clutched to his fingers and threw it aside. He picked up the water and poured a few sips of the gourd.

It's just a knot, I'm tired and sweaty, but this is much better than the previous days. I can still go out and run twice a day. If it's the first two days, I can walk, don't talk about running.

After taking a moment, Shao Xuan ran to the witch's stone house to talk about his troubles with the knot.

“It just doesn't feel right to tie your hand every time you hit it.” Shao Xuando.

The witch was silent and half-hearted. “If that's the case, you don't have to think about it all the time. It's better to be casual. You don't have to be obsessed with imitating those hands, you can have your own thoughts. ”

Shao Xuan thought about it. Yes, it's all in his own head anyway. I can't figure it out now, so I'll try again later. What does that say, “When necessary, you have to learn to lose your mind”?

It has been said that people who are blind are actually smart, because they can always do things that no one else can.

Enlightening that inheritance is not an overnight thing, but hurried and unable to rush, which affects the mentality.

“I know.” Shao Xuan really appreciated it.

Seeing Shao Xuan so, the witch nodded with satisfaction and was about to say a few words. “In two days, I'm going to go for a walk in the mountain forest. It may be a little far away. I shouldn't be back in three or five days. I think I found a nice stone over there. I want to go check it out. ”

The witch snapped her heart and said, “Just yourself? ”

Now the hunting team is not hunting far, but exploring conservatively little by little. What they want now is stability and, by the way, training the new warriors who woke up this year. But since Shao Xuan said he was going away for three or five days, the witch was a little worried.

If other people, the witch is not like that, but now the person in front is Shao Xuan. It is difficult to come up with this elder who lit up the bones and inherited the will of his ancestors. The witch hesitated a little, but still nodded.

“Yes, be careful, don't rush into it!” The witch ordered it.

“I know, don't worry.” Shao Xuan promised.

Witches are so sad to hear this, they can't help but catch all the beards.

Two days later, Shao Xuan sat on his back with polished stoneware and food and left the tribe.

A day after flying away from the tribe, Shao Xuan walked directly between the woods, and the sky needed to guard against other sudden flying birds. Shao Xuan did not want to obstruct his feet in the sky.

Walk amongst strange woods, not the frontier of the original tribe when it entered the mountain forest, which has gone deep into the mountain forest.

The perilous surroundings, years of hunting experience, and a stronger hunch than others make Shao Xuan very sensitive to the hostile sight around him. Even if it doesn't bring any killing, just focus on Shao Xuan. In this forest, Shao Xuan can be alert immediately as long as the other side walks within a certain range.

The woods here are very damp, like fog, and the distant mountains become blurred, if hidden. Here, even a little beast, a short mountain, is in great danger.

Walk further into another forest. The tall, lush branches blocked the light above, and the place where Shao Xuan walked looked very shady. Not far away, there was a hostile roar, not knowing what kind of beast it was. They hid behind the thick bushes in the woods, staring at Shao Xuan's wild eyes and risking a dark fierce light.

If they were hunting on the other side of the river, the beasts would run away when they saw the hunting team, because they knew they were not good enough to deal with them, and they would go up there and die. But in this strange forest, the beasts in these woods don't know about humans, and they're wary of anything strange, and they look at it as a prey, and they don't just run away, they try to attack.

The shadow jumped from behind the grass, accompanied by the low roar of the beast, to announce the beginning of the killing.

The low beast roar became sharp and fearful, the sound of a callous halt, the blade splitting the motion of the flesh, the splashing liquid, the scattered blood. When Shao Xuan converged on the killer in his eyes and came out with a bloodstained knife, only the bloodstained animal remains in the forest.

Shao Xuan just left, less than ten steps, some smaller beasts rushed out, not towards Shao Xuan, but towards the corpse of the beast that had been cut in half. They screamed for food, and if they couldn't grab it, they bit each other. They didn't look at Shao Xuan much. But before long, as the bloody smell of stinging nose dissipates, other beasts will come and drive away these little beasts and rob them of their corpses.

After flying for a day, walking for a day, Shao Xuan looked at the sky, and the sun was already hidden beneath the mountain peaks, so he planned to find a place to rest.

He fought a pointy clawed beast who lived in a cliff cave, drove the beast out of the cave, and joined forces with Shao Xuan to dine with the beast.

There are many animal bones piled up in the cave, with rotten smells, and many insects, big and small, climb up and down. Shao Xuan set a torch on fire and expelled these insects. As for the animal bones, they were all ripped out of the cave.

This can be considered a temporary resting point, and if you come back later, you can rest here.

Shao Xuan pulled out the hide of the animal and drew a general picture of the area passing along the way, then specially marked the place where the hole was located. This time out, in addition to looking for the stone, he will also draw a brief map of the area he has passed in order to facilitate exploration of the hunt by the hunting team behind him.

The wound was drugged, and the chirping was also painted a little. Shao Xuan put out the fire heap and hurried to rest.

When I woke up the next day, the sky outside was a bit gloomy, and I stood in the hole and looked out, and the forest below carried a damp stream of water.

“It seems to be raining.” Shao Xuan said.

I don't like rain very much, so I plan on staying in the hole until the sun clears up. It's been here many times, knowing that the weather is changing fast, and it's raining now, and it won't be long before it's clear.

Eat a little beast meat baked yesterday for breakfast. The beast meat has become cold and hard. Shao Xuan doesn't care at all. Eat while looking out at the sky.

“I don't know when this rain will come down.” Shao Xuan walked a little towards the cave in case it rained later. The wind here is huge and it may not blow rain in.

As he sat in the hole, Shao Xuan saw the rope tied to his waist and some of his hands itched. He hasn't touched the rope for two days. He's idle anyway. He takes out the rope he put in the leather bag, cuts it off with a knife and plays with it in his hand. These ropes in the animal leather bags are spare, and the "trouser belt” on the waist, of course, cannot be removed.

I was going to tie the rope according to the previous method, thinking of the witch words, Shao Xuan stopped again. If you follow the previous knot pattern, the result must be the same, and you end up tying your hands and getting a messy herd.

Sighing heavily, Shao Xuan closed his eyes and threw away his previous memories. He only wrapped the rope around his hands aimlessly. Gradually, Shao Xuan also lost his knot mind. He wondered when the rain could come down, and the rain in the forest, once it came down, walked fast. This season, it doesn't rain every day. It's just that this gloomy day, if it doesn't go down, doesn't it have to wait forever?

Think about it, Shao Xuan seemed to see the hands again, and the rope around his hand, the rope swiftly twisting between his fingers. This time, however, the knot was different, and Shao Xuan felt less chaotic and seemed to have a strong purpose.

This time, Shao Xuan did not distract him, but concentrated on the knot movement on his hands. Shao Xuan's hands were following the movement unconsciously, just like the knot of those hands in his head!

Somehow in the past, when Shao Xuan disengaged from that state, opened his eyes and looked into his own hand, he was shocked to find that the rope in his hand had broken several knots, instead of tying all his fingers like the other day.

Success?

Still failing?

Shao Xuan speculated on the meaning of the ropes and knots in his hand against the basic phrases he had learned before. What were you thinking when you tied the rope?

Hunting?

No, back up.

Rain?

With that in mind, Shao Xuan's face was weird and a little excited. If what these closing words mean is true...

Whether you succeed or fail again, you have to verify to know.

Looking out at the sky, Shao Xuan stood up, walked to the hole, took a deep breath, felt the moist and cold water vapor in the air, shook his fist, reached out his hand, his fist facing up.

The silent counting of time.

5……

Fist open, little finger out.

4…

Anonymous finger sticks out.

Three...

The middle finger protrudes.

2…

The index finger sticks out.

One!

Thumbs out, palms open.

Boom!

A slight sound of liquid landing.

Palms are slightly chilled.

Shao Xuan couldn't wait to see the past and smiled.

A beach of bird shit, lying quietly in the middle of the palm.

Smoking his face, Shao Xuan intended to wipe the bird shit off his palm with something. He was about to take his hand back and another drop of liquid dropped.

This is followed by the second drop, the third, the fourth...

Droplets of dense numbness landed from the air and were blown by the wind on the cliff walls, some of them in holes.

The woods beneath the mountain were instantly blocked by a layer of rain curtains, and dense raindrops hit the blades and the sound of the ground coming from below.
