Chapter 269
After that day, Shao Xuan did not use the expensive ropes provided by Guize; it was too wasteful. Instead, he practiced the knots on grass ropes. Although they were rough, it didn’t hurt his hands after he tore it apart. Also, if the knot couldn’t be undone, it could also be used as firewood.
For five days, in addition to patrolling and hunting, Shao Xuan used the ropes to tie knots.
As a result, many of the failed grass ropes were used as firewood.
Lao Ke did not quite understand why Shao Xuan was so obsessed with playing with the grass rope, but since Shao Xuan insisted, he did not say anything.
After failing again, Shao Xuan was somewhat discouraged. He slammed the grass ropes to the ground and threw them aside, before picking up the water-filled gourd and pouring a few mouthfuls down his throat.
After taking a long break, Shao Xuan ran to Wu’s stone house and said that he was having trouble tying the knot
“I just feel that I am not doing this right. My hand somehow gets tied into the knot every time.”
Wu was silent for a long while.
This time, Shao Xuan did not get distracted but was concentrated and paid attention to the knot movement on his hands. And Shao Xuan’s hands are also unconsciously following the action, exactly the same as the action of the hands in his mind!
When Shao Xuan broke away from that state, he opened his eyes and looked at his own hands. He was shocked to find that the rope on his hand had already got several knots on it instead of sticking his fingers.
was it successful?
Or was it still a failure?
Shao Xuan speculated what the meaning of these ropes and knots were. Just now, what was he thinking when tying these ropes?
‘Hunting? No, no.
Stone? No.
Rain? Yes, it was rain!’
At this point, Shao Xuan was getting excited. He needed to verify what these knots meant.
Looking at the sky outside, Shao Xuan stood up, walked to the edge of the hole, took a deep breath, feeling the damp and cold water vapor in the air, clenching his fist, and reaching out.
counting the time in his heart.
Five……
The fist was open and the little finger extended.
Four…
The ring finger extended.
three……
The middle finger extended.
two…
The index finger stood out.
one!
The thumb is extended and his palm was now open.
Snap!
A soft sound of a liquid landed on his hand.
The palm felt slightly cool.
Then bird poop landed at the center of his palm.
Shao Xuan was going to wipe the poop off his hand with something. Just as he was about to take back his hand, another drop of poop landed on his hands.
Followed by a second drop, a third drop, and a fourth drop…
Dense water droplets landed on the floor.
The woods under the mountain were blocked by trees. The dense raindrops hit the leaves of the trees and there was the sound of something coming from below.
