The Caveman Made Me Awesome

On the yellowed parchment scroll, a strange creature whose skin is covered with fine barbs, drags a long tail, has a huge head, and looks like a frilled shark jumps out of the paper.

Ye Xi turned his head: "Does the fishy deep-sea monster you mentioned look like this?"

When Ye Xi was painting, Cang Wu kept staring at the sheepskin scroll, his eyes filled with disbelief, and he said after a while, "...you can draw such a realistic painting?"

In her impression, the paintings are lines painted with bright paint on the cave walls, and it is impossible to distinguish the specific appearance of the painted animals from the "paintings".

But Ye Xi's painting has completely refreshed her understanding of painting.

Seeing Cang Wu's appearance, Ye Xi was secretly happy.

It was the first time he saw Cang Wu's shocked expression, even his eyes were rounded, and he looked a little cute.

Ye Xi knew very well that in this barren land with backward civilization, such mature painting skills and such lifelike portraits would definitely have an incomparable impact on people.

The degree of shock is like that of a person from the previous world who saw a child hunt and kill a huge prehistoric beast with his own hands.

Ye Xi smiled: "It's nothing, if you master the skills, you can also draw such a picture."

Cang Wu raised his head, his bright eyes looked at him extremely hotly, and the vertical pupils that Ye Xi was not used to appeared again, stretching and shrinking, stretching and shrinking, as if breathing, weird and terrifying.

Ye Xi felt that he was enveloped by some kind of dangerous aura, the hairs on his body couldn't help but stand on end, and he had a strong desire to draw his sword.

After a long time, Cang Wu withdrew his gaze and all the expressions on his face, turned to look at the sheepskin scroll, pointed at the multi-gilled monster on the sheepskin scroll with his snow-white slender fingers, and said slowly,

"Some places are wrongly drawn. This place is narrower, the eyes are smaller, and there is a hidden gill on the top of its head..."

Ye Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and modified it as Cang Wu said.

After the modification was complete, Ye Xi changed a pen, dipped it in black ink, and marked the name of the deep-sea gill monster beside it, as well as the living area, recipes, habits, etc. he heard from Cangwu.

When Cang Wu saw these square characters, he didn’t lose his composure as before. At least he looked calm on the surface, and just said: “This is not a witch character, is this your own character?”

Ye Xi: "It doesn't belong to me alone,

Everyone in Xicheng will have them and use them in the future. "

Cang Wu smiled and said, "They look neat and beautiful."

Ye Xi: "Do you want to learn? I can teach you."

Cang Wu nodded with interest: "Okay."

So Ye Xi suppressed the discomfort just now, and started teaching Cang Wu how to write without distraction.

...

He was very careful when teaching Cangwu, starting with the simplest characters, then learning radicals, and then learning some commonly used characters. It's not as simple and rude as the chiefs, just give them a code and let them learn it by stumbling.

The teacher taught carefully, and the students were extremely intelligent. Cang Wu learned most of the Chinese characters in just half a month with a speed that doubts his IQ.

Later, Ye Xi also taught Cangwu to paint, but Cangwu's talent in painting was not so amazing, the things he drew were always wrong, and couldn't be as lifelike as Ye Xi's paintings.

However, although Cang Wu was shocked by Ye Xi's mature painting skills, he was not very enthusiastic about learning this skill.

After all, she lives in the sea, where it is not allowed to use paint to paint on the parchment.

So she quickly put down her paintbrush, and read the "Records of Different Insects", "Records of Strange Flowers and Different Grasses" and "Records of Mountains and Rivers" written by Ye Xi in the newly learned characters.

Cang Wu has traveled more places than Ye Xi, and has seen more beasts and insects than Ye Xi. After reading it, he often helps Ye Xi supplement these two records.

Ye Xi couldn't get what he wanted.

Under Cang Wu's description and Ye Xi's tireless writing and painting, the number of parchment scrolls belonging to two records and one record is increasing rapidly, and the entire rock platform is quickly piled up one after another. Later, Ye Xi simply asked someone to build a large bookshelf, sorted all the parchment scrolls, and placed them properly on the bookshelf.

Now the chiefs no longer come to Ye Xi's stone house to report when they are learning characters, but instead meet in Duanling's stone house.

So whenever night falls, such a picture can often be seen in Ye Xi's stone house.

Beside the blazing fire, Ye Xi, who was dressed in snow-white silk, and Misty, who was dressed in ice-blue silk, sat side by side on a rock platform. Conscientiously draw and write the same parchment.

Cang Wu was in charge of writing, and Ye Xi was in charge of painting.

A row of burning candles was fixed on the rock platform, and the cheeks of the two were shrouded in orange candlelight, making their eyebrows look more and more tranquil, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that people were reluctant to destroy it.

The two stayed like this until late at night.

In the middle of the night, Ye Xi would accompany Cangwu to the ice lake to fall asleep together.

But Ye Xi didn't stay in the ice lake with Cangwu every night, he would occasionally go back to his warm kang to sleep.

After all, the lake water in winter is icy cold. Although Ye Xi is already a sixth-level fighter, his body is not made of iron, and people are land animals after all, so sleeping in water is always uncomfortable.

The days passed like this.

In addition to writing parchments, occasionally the two would play chess, or go out for a walk, hunting in the snow or something. Gradually, Cangwu looked at Ye Xi more and more softly, as if she completely forgot to go back to the sea and settled down in Xicheng completely.

Cang Wu didn't mention it, and Ye Xi didn't ask.

The cold winter is coming to an end.

The wind and snow stopped, the sun became bright and dazzling, the temperature began to rise, and the snow gradually melted.

On a sunny day, Ye Xi pushed open the door, stepped on the much thinner snow, and breathed in the fresh and cold air.

Looking at the sparkling blue lake surface after the ice floe melted in front of him, he suddenly wanted to go fishing on a whim.

So he picked out a precious scorched wood from the collection of the Dikuzhi tribe, and enthusiastically planned to make it into two fishing rods.

This kind of scorched wood is extremely tough, its hardness is comparable to that of wild animal bones, but it also has toughness. It is used by the Zhi tribe to make longbows, and it is also very suitable for making fishing rods.

He sat cross-legged by the lake, split the wood with a dagger, divided it into two halves, and then whittled the wood into stick shapes bit by bit.

The black dagger made from the remnants of the Great Wilderness cut iron like mud, and the two not-so-smooth wooden poles were completed in a short time as the wood chips flew down.

With the fishing pole, the next step is the float and the hook.

The float is simple and can be made with fish bubbles. The key point is the fishhook. There is no metal in Xicheng, so you can only use animal bones or claws or wood.

To save trouble, Ye Xi decided to use charred wood as the hook.

"What are u doing?"

As soon as the prototype of the fishhook was made, a cool and pleasant voice came from behind.

Ye Xi turned around and smiled at Cang Wu: "I'll make a fishing rod, so that I can catch fish in the water while sitting on the bank!"

Cang Wu: "Do you want fish? No matter what kind of fish I can go into the water and catch it for you."

Ye Xi laughed: "No need, fishing is just for fun, just like playing chess and cards, it's just fun!"

Cang Wu nodded, looking at the wooden hook in Ye Xi's hand: "You use wood as a hook?"

She didn't show any novelty about the fishing rod, because many tribes on this land had already invented fishing hooks, and the Hook tribe had developed the fishing hook to the extreme, and could use it to catch big toads and mermaids in the swamp.

Ye Xi explained: "Wood is easier to polish, while other materials take a long time to polish."

Cang Wu shook his head: "A fishhook made of wood is easy to break and cannot catch too large a fish. It is better to make it with animal claws or bird beaks. You give me the materials and I will polish them."

Ye Xi thought of Cang Wu's indestructible sharp claws when he transformed into a mermaid, so he was silent, and took her directly to the basement that the Zhi tribe had dug, and let her choose the materials by herself.

In the end, Cangwu chose the claws of two king-species ferocious birds.

Each of the claws was twenty centimeters long, crescent-shaped and crescent-shaped, heavy in the arms, like metal.

Xicheng usually grinds this kind of sharp claws into arrowheads. Ordinary craftsmen often need to use a whetstone for a month to polish them into shape, which is very hard.

However, they are in Cangwu's hands...

"Crack! Crunch—!"

Sparks splashed in all directions, and black debris fell like snowflakes.

The hard claws of the king-species vicious bird seemed to have become some kind of brittle stone that loved to drop stone chips.

Under Ye Xi's horrified eyes, within a minute, two fishhooks with extremely suitable shapes were formed in Cang Wu's hands.

Cang Wu put away her nails, and threw the two fishing hooks that had just come out of the oven to Ye Xi.
