Chapter 171
When Jiang Luoluo went to Qing's place, she did not encounter any force.
This is normal. After all, Li is one of the most popular kids on Little Stone Mountain. When there's nothing particularly important to learn about stone tool making, Li will basically train on Little Stone Mountain.
She only comes to Qing occasionally to learn, and she has to dedicate half of her time learning about stone tools to Ti, because she can't just come to one place and then ignore the other.
For Li, Qing and Ti are equally important to her, and she cannot afford to neglect one for the other.
Qing looked up at Shou, who had brought Jiang Luoluo over, frowned, and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Where's Ge? Why didn't he bring you here?"
From Qing's perspective, this shows that Ge's behavior was somewhat irresponsible, and it's normal for him to have some opinions.
Jiang Luoluo didn't care at all and said honestly, "I've been running around all day, and it would be a waste of time for Ge to come with me, so I sent Ge to train."
Seeing that Qing's expression hadn't improved, Jiang Luoluo stepped forward with a grin, "Anyway, I'm already very familiar with the way here."
Qing wanted to say something more, but seeing the cub's expression, she knew she couldn't persuade her. She shook her head helplessly and let the matter drop with a smile.
They weren't particularly determined to take charge of the cubs' affairs.
Well, most adults always have an expectation that their children can be independent, but when the children are truly independent, they are full of worry and uncertainty, and they want to interfere in everything, unwilling to let their children truly become independent.
But Qing didn't have such an obsession and accepted it readily. Since Jiang Luoluo was sure she could do it well, Qing trusted her and just let her do it.
It's not too late to help her solve any problems that arise. Anyway, she has to go through these things eventually, and the sooner she goes through them, the less serious the problems will be.
After that topic ended, Jiang Luoluo started talking about her trip to Yuan's place.
He didn't reveal everything about Yuan and Zao to Qing; he only talked about serious matters that he had discussed with Yuan, from the division of labor among the group to the gathering in a couple of days.
Qing had no objection to this. He had anticipated what Jiang Luoluo said from the beginning and had already given it his due consideration.
So when Jiang Luoluo brought up this topic, Qing immediately chimed in and shared her thoughts.
The two of them had a very serious and focused conversation.
The guards looked at Jiang Luoluo with increasing astonishment, as if they were subconsciously amazed at seeing someone so capable displaying their skills.
Meanwhile, in Shou's eyes, Jiang Luoluo's identity as a cub was becoming weaker and weaker, while the feeling of her being a "smart person with a brain" like a witch was becoming stronger and stronger.
After discussing with Jiang Luoluo, Qing had a more specific and concrete idea of what she needed to do and was eager to verify it.
After the discussion, Jiang Luoluo didn't linger and quickly moved on to the next location, Hengjia.
Shou was somewhat surprised, not expecting Jiang Luoluo and Qing to discuss things so quickly. He thought it would take a long time, but unexpectedly, the two seemed to have very clear ideas. So after a brief communication, they decided what they wanted to do and made a painful decision.
This even includes things like choosing where to hold the party.
Actually, there are only a few locations: Jiang Luoluo's family, Qing's family, Heng's family, and Yuan's family.
Jiang Luoluo's family was the first to be ruled out, partly because their location was relatively remote at the foot of Yinfeng Mountain, and the other people would have to walk quite a distance.
Another reason is that Jiang Luoluo's home is relatively small, since it was initially chosen based on the living space of just two people.
Unlike Qing, Heng, and Yuan's homes, which have been expanded to accommodate larger gatherings due to their stone tool production, these homes are more suitable for large groups of people.
Moreover, Jiang Luoluo doesn't have any suitable stone tool making tools here, so if they have any inspirations from exchanging ideas, they won't be able to put them into practice directly.
Although the simplest method is to polish with two stones, after so many years of development, the people in the tribe responsible for making stone tools usually have their own preferred and fixed tools.
For example, special stones that have been polished into a certain shape and are of higher quality.
However, such items are usually quite rare, and aside from those obtained by chance, they are only obtained by previous generations of the clan.
...That's right, most of them were obtained by chance.
These stones must meet certain characteristics to be selected for use—for example, they must be extremely sturdy, so sturdy that they can be passed down for hundreds of years and never deform or break even after being struck countless times.
Just think about it, and you'll know how difficult it is to mine this kind of stone. So, apart from being obtained by chance, there is no fixed way to acquire it, which is why it is so rare and precious.
In the tribal world, the transmission of stone tools often involves the succession of these tools by their users. Without this transmission, it would be difficult to obtain even the tools themselves, let alone the skills to polish them.
In the tribe, children are still taught to use the simplest methods to polish stone tools. The main reason is that the most likely scenarios for using and maintaining stone tools are outdoors, in the forest, when fighting wild animals.
Since there were no tools available, they had to use whatever materials were available. So instead of teaching them the complex and intricate steps that required various tools, it was better to teach them the simplest and most primitive methods, so that they wouldn't be affected by any adverse circumstances.
As for those with a talent for using stone tools, there are naturally teachers who recognize their talent and prepare the necessary things for them.
For example, Qing and Li, it's unclear how Ti appeared among them.
Heng's house is not suitable because of his mischievous twin brothers, and Yuan's house is actually in a rather remote location, inhabited by a group of socially awkward singles, so it's not really suitable for gatherings.
So in the end, the meeting place was decided to be Qing's house.
Qing had no objection to this. At Qing's age, unless one is naturally introverted, most people prefer a more lively atmosphere.
Jiang Luoluo didn't know if Shou had been to Heng's house, so she called Shou in advance and told him to wait a moment and not to be frightened by the prankster twin brothers.
Shou chuckled and scratched his head. "Them? I've heard about them."
Looking at Shou's expression, Jiang Luoluo suddenly realized that Shou must not have seen the twin brothers before, but his friends or acquaintances must have been frightened.
What wicked twins!
Heng was even easier to talk to. Jiang Luoluo even showed a relieved expression when she saw Heng, knowing that she was going to leave the twin brothers and attend the party.
Heng's husband, Beng, is an ordinary orc warrior who often participates in the tribe's hunts and is frequently away from home, which means Heng has to spend more time with her two children.
After all... making stone tools doesn't require leaving home.
