Original War

Chapter 270

After that, Shao Xuan didn’t use the straw ropes provided by Guize, which was too wasteful. He used ordinary straw rope to practice knotting. Although it was rough and had burrs, it wouldn’t hurt if it was broken.

For five consecutive days, in addition to patrolling and hunting, Shao Xuanquan spent the rest of the time trying to tie the rope.

Old Ke didn’t quite understand the reason why Shao Xuan was so persistent in playing with straw ropes, but since Shao Xuan insisted, he didn’t say anything.

After failing again, Shao Xuan was a little discouraged. He stroked the grass ball that was tied up with his fingers, threw it aside, picked up the Calabash filled with water, and took a few sips.

It’s just a rope, so tired and sweaty, but this is much better than the previous few days. I can go out and run twice a whole day. If it’s the first two days, it’s almost enough to walk, don’t talk about running.

After taking a break, Shao Xuan ran to the Wu’s stone house and talked about his troubles with knotting the rope.

“It just feels wrong, every time I type it, I tie my hands.” Shao Xuandao.

Wu was silent for a while, and said, “If this is 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 the movements of those hands, you can have your own ideas.”

Shao Xuan thought for a while, yes, anyway, that thing is in his mind, and I can’t figure it out now, so I will try again later. How do you say that sentence, “When necessary, you have to learn to be indifferent.”

Someone once said that people who lack the heart and eyes are actually very smart, because they can always do things that others can’t.

The inheritance of Insight is not an overnight affair, and the urgency is not anxious, but it affects the mentality.

“I see.” Shao Xuan thanked him earnestly.

Seeing that Shao Xuan was like this, Wu nodded in satisfaction, and was about to say a few words. He heard Shao Xuan say again: “In two days, I plan to go to the mountains and forests. It may be a bit far away. Come back. Chat seems to have found a good stone over there, I want to go and take a look.”

Wu’s heart sighed, then he raised it again, “Just you?”

Now the hunting team is not hunting far, but conservatively explores a little bit. What they are looking for is stability, and by the way, train those new soldiers who awakened this year. But since Shao Xuan said he was going to travel far, and he would not be able to return for three or five days, Wu was a little worried.

If it was someone else, Wu wouldn’t be like that, but the person in front of him was Shao Xuan, and it was difficult to find such an Elder who lighted the bone ornament and inherited the will of the ancestors. Wu hesitated, but still nodded.

“Yes, you should be careful, don’t rush, don’t rush in!” Wu exhorted.

“I know, don’t worry.” Shao Xuan promised.Wu was so sad when he heard this, he couldn’t wait to grab all his beards.

Two days later, Shao Xuan took the polished stone tools and food, sat on Chacha’s back, and left the tribe.

After flying away from the tribe for a day, Shao Xuan walked directly in the woods. The sky was chatting and he needed to guard against other flying birds that suddenly appeared. Shao Xuan didn’t want to get in the way in the air.

Walking among the unfamiliar woods, this is not the border zone when the tribe entered the forest. This has already gone deep into the forest.

The surrounding environment, years of hunting experience, and a stronger hunch than others make Shao Xuan very sensitive to the hostile sights around him. Even if he does not have any murderous intent, he just pays attention to Shao Xuan. In this forest, as long as the opponent walks Within a certain range, Shao Xuan could also be alert immediately.

The woods here are very humid, like mist, and the mountains in the distance have become hazy and looming. Here, even a small beast, a low mountain, is very dangerous.

Go ahead and walk into another wood. The tall dense branches blocked the light from above, and the place Shao Xuan walked seemed very gloomy. There was a hostile roar not far away. I don’t know what kind of beast they were. They were hiding behind the thick grass in the woods, staring at Shao Xuan’s wild eyes, braving the dark and fierce light.

If they were on the hunting ground on the other side of the river, the beasts would run away when they saw the people of the hunting team, because they knew that these people were not easy to deal with, and they would go up to death. However, in this unfamiliar forest, these wild beasts in the forest do not know the Daoist class. They are alert to any unfamiliar things and at the same time they are treated as prey. Not only will they not run away, they will also try to attack.

The figure leaping from behind the grass, accompanied by the low roar of the beast, announced the beginning of the fight.

The low beast roar became sharp and frightened, the sound stopped abruptly, the movement of the blade splitting the flesh, the splashing liquid, the scattered blood. When Shao Xuan restrained the murderous intent in his eyes and came out with the blood-stained knife, only the blood-stained beast corpse remained in the forest.

As soon as Shao Xuan left, after less than ten steps, some much smaller beasts rushed out, not at Shao Xuan, but at the corpse of the beast that had been chopped in half. They screamed and scrambled for food. They bite each other if they can’t get it, and don’t look at Shao Xuan too much. However, not long to wait, as the pungent smell of blood dissipates, other beasts will come over, drive away these small beasts, and snatch the dead beasts.

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

Chacha fought a fierce beast with sharp claws living in a cliff cave, drove the fierce beast out of the cave, and then joined hands with Shao Xuan to have the fierce beast for dinner.

There are many animal bones accumulated in the cave, with a rotten smell, and many large and small insects crawling around. Shao Xuan burned a torch to drive these insects away. As for the animal bones, they were all set off by the chatter. Go outside the cave.

This can be used as a temporary resting place, and if you come back later, you can come here to rest.

Shao Xuan took out the animal skins and roughly drew the places that he passed along the way, and then marked the place where the hole was. When he came out this time, in addition to looking for that piece of stone, he would also draw a brief map of the place he passed, so as to facilitate the hunting team behind to explore and hunt.

After applying medicine to the wound, and applying a little bit to Chacha, Shao Xuan extinguished the fire and hurryed to rest.

When I woke up the next day, the sky outside was a little gloomy. Standing at the entrance of the cave and looking out, the forest below was full of damp water vapor.

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

Chacha doesn’t like rain very much, so he plans to stay in the cave and wait until the weather is clear before going out. It has been here many times, knowing that the weather here is changing fast, and it is raining now, and it may be sunny before long.

I ate a bit of beast meat that was grilled yesterday for breakfast. The beast meat has become cold and hard. Shao Xuan didn’t care at all, watching the sky outside while eating.

“I don’t know when the rain will come down.” Shao Xuan walked into the cave a little bit to prevent it from raining in a while. The wind here is so strong that it might blow in the rain.

While sitting in the cave, Shao Xuan saw the rope tied to his waist and his hands were itchy. I haven’t touched the rope for two days. I was idle anyway. He took out the rope from the animal skin bag, cut it off with a knife, and played with it in his hand. The rope belts in the animal skin bags are spare. As for the waistband on the waist, of course they cannot be taken off.

As he was about to tie the rope according to the previous method, Shao Xuan stopped again when he thought of Wu’s words. If you follow the previous knotting method, the result must be the same. In the end, you will tie your own hands and get a chaotic grass ball.

After sighing heavily, Shao Xuan closed his eyes and put aside the memories of the past. He just used rope to go around aimlessly in his hand. Gradually, Shao Xuan lost his thoughts of knotting the rope, thinking, when will the rain be. When it comes up, the rain in the woods, once it comes up, it walks fast. This season, it will not rain every day. It’s just that if this gloomy sky doesn’t go down, don’t you have to wait?

Thinking about it, Shao Xuan seemed to see the hands again, and the rope that was wrapped around his hands, which quickly moved between his fingers. However, this time, the way of knotting the rope was different, and Shao Xuan’s feeling was not so chaotic, and it seemed to have a strong purpose.

This time, Shao Xuan did not distract, but instead concentrated and paid attention to the knotting movements on his hands. And Shao Xuan’s hands are also unconsciously following the movements, exactly the same as the knotting movements of the hands in his mind!

I don’t know how long it has been. When Shao Xuan broke away from that state, opened his eyes, and looked into his hand, he was shocked to find that the rope on his hand had been knotted several times, instead of tying all his fingers as he did a few days ago. live.

Succeeded?

Still fail?

Compared with the basic conclusions learned before, Shao Xuan guessed what the ropes and knots meant. Just now, what did you think about when you tied the rope?

hunting? No, it’s not.

Stone? No, let’s go further.

rain? Yes, it’s raining!

Thinking of this, Shao Xuan looked strange and a little excited. If the meaning of these conclusions is true…

Whether it succeeds or fails again, it must be verified to know.

Looking at the sky outside, Shao Xuan stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave, took a deep breath, feeling the damp and cold water vapor in the air, making a fist, extending his hand, his fist facing upwards.

Counting the time silently in my heart.

five……

Fist opened, little finger stretched out.

Four……

The ring finger stretched out.

three……

Middle finger stretched out.

two……

The index finger stretched out.

one!

Thumbs out, palms open.

Snapped!

There was a soft sound of liquid falling.

The palm is slightly cool.

Shao Xuan couldn’t wait to look over, and then his smile froze.

A pool of bird dung, lying quietly in the middle of the palm.

Shao Xuan tried to wipe off the bird feces on the palm of his hand while smoking his cheeks. He was about to withdraw his hand when another drop of liquid dripped.

Followed by the second drop, the third drop, the fourth drop…

Dense water droplets landed from the air, blown on the cliff wall by the wind, and some hit the hole.

The forest under the mountain was instantly blocked by a rain curtain, and the sound of dense raindrops hitting the leaves and the ground came from below.
