Chapter 35 – Not too bad, huh? (2/2)

Lang Ga used his thumb to touch the edge of the stone arrowhead. Ah, the blade was so sharp, no wonder it came from the master!

Shao Xuan was about to walk out but he turned around and smiled at Lang Ga’s words, “I’ll pass your words, but by the way, those arrowheads were all crafted by me. You should try and see if they are useful.”

At Shao Xuan’s response, Lang Ga froze as he was touching the stone arrowhead. He looked up at Shao Xuan, astonished as the muscle on his face quivered hard twice.

“Wait a moment!”

Lang Ga took a few steps and came in front of Shao Xuan. He practically asked the question word by word, as he grasped the arrowhead with his hand, “This is your work??”

Shao Xuan nodded, “Yes. Not too bad, huh?”

Not…too bad?

Lang Ga’s stared at Shao Xuan with red eyes and heavy breath.

If those were judged as “not too bad”, then how should his own hand-made arrowheads be judged as? Stone waste?

Shao Xuan did not quite understand what Lang Ga meant by doing that. He had gotten some stone arrowheads from Lang Ga. Since the arrowheads had already been used once, Lang Ga did not intend to take them to hunting missions in the future. However, it would be such a waste to throw them away, so he gave them to Shao Xuan for his training. Back then, Lang Ga and the others were all using second-handed stoneware to practice, which was quite normal in the tribe.

Shao Xuan made those stone arrowheads based on those that Lang Ga gave him. There were more or less defects in the stone arrowheads, but generally speaking it wouldn’t affect the usage much. Shao Xuan had always thought that those defects were caused by usage, and old Ke also did not comment on those when he saw them. But for the arrowheads crafted by Shao Xuan, old Ke appraised them as “barely not too bad”. That was also the reason why Shao Xuan said “not too bad”.

Lang Ga stared at Shao Xuan with a rather complicated look. Perhaps it was because that he had a grandfather who was a stoneware crafter. He thought he was talented in stone crafting. He made stone tools himself, and now he had some achievements in that field. Even though his skills were not as good as his grandfather’s, he was confident that after perhaps ten years, he would be better than him. What’s more, among his peer he had more skill in crafting than most people. Especially when it came to stone arrowheads, almost no one could make better arrowheads than him!

However, now there’s a newly-awakened kid, who was only ten years old, and had only been learning stone crafting for less than thirty days. The stone arrowheads made by him were slightly better than his works. Based on his eye of quality, he could naturally tell that this stoneware could not be made just given enough time and efforts. Let alone the fact that the stone arrowheads were quite smooth at their surface, and as there was no point of stagnation, highly likely, these arrowheads were processed quickly and smoothly!

Why was there so much difference since he came back from the hunting mission?

I was only out for twenty days, not two years!

Lang Ga’s face turned red, as he thought of giving a bunch of second-handed stone arrowheads with many flaws to Shao Xuan before the hunting mission. He wanted to hide under the ground. Even though he was thick-skinned usually, he had totally different standards when it came to stoneware. Perhaps he was affected by his grandfather.

Take a deep breath!

Then another deep breath!

Lang Ga put out three trembling fingers and pointed at the outside, “You, do not show your face in front of me for the next three days!”

As he finished his sentence, Lang Ga dropped the curtain and he could not sleep anymore. He stepped towards the small room that he used for stone crafting, and began to work.

While from the other house near Lang Ga’s room, walked out an old man with grey hair. He looked hale and hearty even though he was old at age. It seemed that he could still easily carry a stone that weighed a hundred kilos.

That was just Lang Ga’s grandfather. The old man just woke up from his nap and now he intended to go down the mountain to some friends as he chewed some meat jerky in his mouth. He thought perhaps one of his sons was crafting stones in preparation for the next hunting mission, when he heard the sound of grinding stones. However, with a single look through the window, he found out that it was his grandson, who was supposed to be sleeping in his own room. Now he was working in the stoneware crafting workshop!

The old man nearly choked by the meat jerky because of shock. His eyes were wide open like stone balls, and he stared at Lang Ga in the same manner as staring at a ferocious beast in the forest that existed once in a century.

What the fuck?!

That little bastard used to sleep for three to four days after every hunting mission, and even beating him up could not drag him out of his bed! What happened?

While on the other hand, Shao Xuan was quite confused when he was told “not to show his face for the next three days”. What was wrong with Lang Ga? Hypotension because of sleepiness?
