Chapter 131 New Route
When Shao Xuan was not going out to hunt, he would go up the mountain every few days and hand over the animal skin scroll he drew by the witch.
What Shao Xuan drew this time was not a witch scroll, but an ordinary animal skin scroll.
The witch wants everyone to know that the ancestors have used hunting dogs to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm for raising and training young animals, but some content cannot be disclosed more, so they can only be more selectively disclosed. Choosing good content will allow Shao Xuan, who is better at painting than most people, to draw it, and the annotations will also be excerpted from some parts of the original version without writing them all.
Compared to the witch scrolls that must use the power of inheritance, ordinary scrolls are much simpler and easier.
One hundred scrolls with annotations were completed within ten days. Shao Xuan was all completed.
On this day, Shao Xuan took the last ten animal skin rolls up the mountain and handed them to the witch.
The tribe's people were no longer surprised that Shao Xuan often ran to Wu, and even the people guarding the witch's gate did not stop him. Wu said that Shao Xuan would come and let him in.
"This is the last ten copies." Shao Xuan put ten animal skin scrolls on the stone table in front of the witch and asked the witch to check it out to confirm that there was no content beyond the plan.
Wu quickly opened and glanced, then put the animal skin roll aside, not like the previous few times, and asked Shao Xuan to leave immediately.
When Shao Xuan saw Wu like this, he knew that the old man had something to say, and it was not a matter of one or two words, so he sat upright and waited for the witch to say what he said next.
↖,w+ww.
Seeing Shao Xuan's reaction, Wu smiled first, then his smile faded, and said, "Do you know what the leader and the tribe are discussing?"
Shao Xuan shook his head. He knew that during this period, the leader, the two big leaders, and the old warriors who have a strong voice in the tribe, often came to Wu and they were all together. Seeing such a formation, you know that it is not a trivial matter, so Shao Xuan will not stay for long every time he comes. Wu will sooner or later say something that should be known, and Shao Xuan is not curious. But now, Wu doesn't seem to be planning to hide it, at least he doesn't intend to hide it from Shao Xuan.
The witch took out a larger animal skin scroll and spread it on the stone table, "Do you know what is the painting?"
Shao Xuan leaned forward and looked at the painting on the animal skin scroll.
Although the drawing is relatively sketchy, you can still see that "this is a tribe and a hunting route."
The animal skin scroll on the stone table is equivalent to a simple map, which only draws the location of the tribe and several hunting routes.
Most of the animal skin rolls were painted with black pigments, including tribes and several hunting routes, but one of them was painted with red pigments, and the red one was not any hunting route that Shao Xuan knew.
The witch raised her finger, placed it on the red route, and clicked. "This is what we are discussing."
Shao Xuan stared at the line and thought for a while, his eyebrows moved and he looked at the witch, "The tribe is planning to open up a new hunting route?!"
Wu didn't expect Shao Xuan to guess so quickly, after all, for most people in the tribe, they had never thought about opening up a new route, and even if they saw the map, they might not think in that direction.
But Wu was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "That's true."
There are more and more people in the tribe, but the number of people going out to hunt each time is limited. Although there are special circumstances at home or injured soldiers are excluded from the hunting team list, some healthy people are inevitably left behind.
Too wasteful.
But if each hunting team increases the number of people, it is not necessary, and it may be worse. Going out to hunt is not the better the more people, and the records left by our ancestors also mentioned the disadvantages of too many people.
In recent years, the witch has been considering opening up new routes, and Caesar's change has strengthened the witch's determination.
If the tribe's cubs grow into a group and after the engraving is successful, they will inevitably become a greater help. This is a force that cannot be underestimated.
In this way, it is very necessary to open up new routes.
So, the witch found the leader, two big leaders, and several old soldiers who had a relatively speaking voice in the tribe, and discussed it together.
If Wu didn't mention opening up a new route, others would not insist on it. But since Wu mentioned it, the old soldiers were very excited. For them, this was an epoch-making thing.
They respect their ancestors and respect their ancestors, but they also listen to the words of the witch. In this matter, the people who were called over were basically supportive.
It is not a matter of one day or one night to open up a new route, and the preliminary preparations must also be prepared, and most importantly, the selection of personnel.
After discussion, it was finally decided to start the plan within three years. If it goes smoothly, it might start in one year. If some unpredictable changes occur, it will be delayed. If it still cannot be implemented within three years, the witch will cancel the plan.
As for the number of people who have opened up new routes, it has been initially planned to be thirty people. The key is not the number of people, and this "sophistication" may not be due to high strength, and it depends on all aspects.
After the preliminary decision, the two big leaders and the old soldiers secretly informed their descendants of this matter after returning, hoping that their descendants would perform better in the next one to two years, and that they would be more likely to be selected into the list of these thirty people.
They were not afraid of opening up new routes. Almost everyone who heard this news was extremely excited, especially those young and middle-aged soldiers. They are in very good health and are very eye-catching every time they go out to hunt. They naturally have to try their best to grab the 30-person quota.
Just like the ancestors, it is an honor that has been recorded in the history of the tribe. How can it not make them excited?
No wonder some people have been training there recently.
After the witch finished speaking, she looked at Shao Xuan sitting opposite the stone table.
Shao Xuan's reaction was different from others. As far as Wu knew, everyone who knew about this was very excited, and several of them were even excited for several days, and even the leader was no exception. When the leader and the two big leaders opened up new routes, they naturally had to participate.
But why is Shao Xuan so calm? Is he not optimistic about the development of the new route?
Wu looked at Shao Xuan with his eyes hanging from his face and thought, and he was very curious about what Shao Xuan was thinking.
Shao Xuan was silent for a while, looked up at Wu, and did not talk about the new route, but asked: "Have you ever thought about contacting other tribes?"
In Shao Xuan's words, there was no uncertainty about the "other tribes" mentioned. Wu could hear that Shao Xuan was very sure that other tribes existed!
Wu, who was originally thinking about the opening of a new route, looked fierce and there was no smile on his face, which was completely different from the usual peaceful momentum. At this moment, Wu was like a battle knife, and the blade of this battle knife was facing Shao Xuan.
At that moment, Shao Xuan almost jumped away, but he still held back and sat there, still maintaining his expression just now, looking at Wu.
The atmosphere was stalemate for a while before the witch gradually restrained her momentum. At first glance, it looked no different from usual, but the stiffness and seriousness on her face were extremely rare.
He had no intention of talking about the new route opening. Wu Shen took a deep breath and stared at Shao Xuan's eyes, "How did you know?"
Are there any other people outside the tribe? When people in the tribe are bored, they have discussed it privately. I heard that there are some, but they only exist in rumors. Many people think that there are only people in the world, but some people believe that there will be other tribes, but the world is too big and they can't get out.
Those who know the exact answer can count about five fingers in the tribe. Wu is undoubtedly the clearest one among them. After all, he can understand the inherited witch scrolls and know more things that others don’t know. However, Wu remembered that he did not show Shao Xuan any witch scrolls about other tribes!
"I came out of a cave near the foot of the mountain. In that cave, there was a stone chamber with paintings on the walls of the stone chamber." Shao Xuan said.
Wu felt his heart pounding suddenly. He didn't know whether there were paintings in the cave. Someone had seen it in the cave, and there was nothing else except some very ancient and incomplete stone tools.
"The painting was covered up." Shao Xuan said about how he discovered the painting, "But after I woke up, I re-painted it with stone powder when I left the hole. So far, no one has seen it except me."
Wu Xuan felt relieved a lot, but he was also curious about the paintings in the cave at the foot of the mountain. He didn't remember any related records.
"What was drawn on the drawing?" Wu asked.
“There are hounds, farmlands,… exquisite jars…”
"What else?" Wu Zhui asked.
Shao Xuan paused and said, "One day, we will return to our hometown. The glory is still there, and the fire of the flame horn will never be extinguished."
From the time when Shao Xuan said the first word of this sentence, Wu's hand began to tremble, which was a manifestation of his inability to control his emotions.
"...Praise." The witch's voice was a little hoarse. Among the characters recorded on the ancient scroll, the third name on the list of characters about ancestors was "Praise". The sentence Shao Xuan just said was also recorded on the ancient scroll.
There is no longer the excitement of opening up a new route, the witch has a bitter face, "If I can go out... why bother to open up a new route!"
Shao Xuan looked at Wu. Wu's eyes were already red, and he was almost crying. Looking at that, his emotions would not calm down for a while.
After thinking about it, Shao Xuan still couldn't tell what was recorded in his notebook.
When Shao Xuan walked out of the stone house, Wu was still in a low mood. Originally, Shao Xuan did not intend to tell the story of the mural inside the cave so soon, but he did not expect to encounter a new route development plan. After thinking about it, he talked about the mural to test it.
It seems that Wu is not unwilling to go out, and many of his predecessors have probably tried it but still failed.
Alas, there is a long way to go.
As she was walking, Shao Xuan suddenly heard a "ao" sound coming from above. When he looked up, Shao Xuan wanted to throw a spear over.
Zhazha was catching a cub at this moment, and the cub was obviously trained by someone in the tribe, and she was screaming in fear.
"Zhazha, get out of here!!"
ps: I have a cold, I will update tonight and make up for it tomorrow.
