Chapter 14
Chapter 14 – Stoneware Crafter
Translated by Sunyancai
Early in the next morning, before the sun rose, all kids in the cave woke up, and some of them had dark circles around their eyes, for not getting proper sleep because of anxiety.
Mo-Er was curious when he got woken up, for that circumstance never happened in the past. He had killed a few night swallows during last night’s practice, and on his arm there were also a few wounds with different depth. He had covered them with herbs.
Regardless of his curiosity, Mo-Er stood up and picked up his stone knife and waited for what was next. He found out that every five kids would stand close to each other, with straw ropes and little black things in their arms. They were discussing about something near the entrance as they constantly looked at Shao Xuan, fully excited.
“The sun rose! Today’s weather must be good, so we can go fishing!” said a child, staring at the sun in the sky.
“But the weather was also good yesterday, yet we could not catch any fish! Will today be the same as yesterday?” Another child poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
Most kids in the cave were no fans of unlucky words like that, so they all glared at the one who had claimed “the same as yesterday”.
Shao Xuan took the fish and came in front of a wooden house. There were no doors in many houses, as people used thick leather curtains or plant-woven curtains to block others’ views. It was also the case with Ke’s house. Shao Xuan called out, “Uncle Ke!”, as he could hear sounds of polishing the stoneware in the house.
No one answered inside, but the leather curtain moved a little bit, which meant that the owner allowed you to come inside. Without permission to enter, Shao Xuan would never be able to lift the curtain. Many things that Ke used seemed quite simple, but were in fact very much complicated than the things in other residents’ houses. You can directly lift other people’s curtains, but it won’t work in Ke’s house. You would definitely be the one who suffered, if you tried to enter by force.
Even though he had only one leg left now, Ke was in charge of placing traps back in the hunting team. So for what it was worth, he still had his skills.
