I'm bad and I'm hitting a wall, primitive life requires hard work

After hearing Nishi Ichiki's voice, the old man still didn't look up, his eyes were always fixed on the stone tool he was hammering in his hands.

It is undoubtedly rude to interrupt a craftsman who is concentrating on his "work".

Therefore, Nishi Ichisu deliberately lowered his voice and waited patiently for Lu Ye's response.

This time, I was fascinated by it.

The old man was seen concentrating and carefully striking the stone tool, knocking off the excess stone from the edge bit by bit, as if he was pursuing the sharpest and thinnest stone blade with every stroke.

His expression was extremely serious and his movements were steady and skillful, without any trace of impatience or panic. He seemed to be completely immersed in the process of making stone tools.

Who knows the labor and effort of carving a road in a barren mountain? Who knows the painstaking efforts and tears of the craftsman when carving a jade article?

The hardships of craftsmen are often little known to the public. The stone tools used by the tribesmen are all made by his hardworking hands. They are the result of his careful polishing and hard work day after day over these long years.

These hands may be covered with thick calluses, may no longer be straight, or may have cracked and turned black. But it is they that created the stone tools needed by the entire tribe and promoted the continuous development and progress of the tribe.

The old man stopped hammering, held the hammered stone in his hand, and slowly ran his fingers across the stone blade, feeling the slightly rough touch, as if testing its sharpness.

Then he held the knife blank up to the light and examined it carefully, checking for any gaps.

After checking everything, he smiled with satisfaction, then took out a grinding tool from the side, placed the knife blank on it and started rough grinding.

At this time, he slowly said: "Wu Xiqi, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Xi Yiqi finally came back to his senses, with a hint of expectation in his eyes, and said softly: "I want you to make a stone knife for me."

Hearing this, Lu Ye looked up at the little girl in front of him. In the past, those who came to him to make stone tools were all warriors in the tribe, but this was the first child who came to him to make stone tools in his career.

Of course, he also knew that Xixi was the next witch of the tribe, so he would not refuse this request.

"What kind of stone knife do you want to make?" Lu Ye asked.

Nishi Ichiqi quickly took out a large green leaf and gently placed it in front of Lu Ye.

On this leaf was the sketch she had made with a stone tablet at noon.

Lu Ye's gaze slowly moved over and he was stunned, and the work in his hands also stopped.

He simply put down the stone blank and the grinding tool, planning to continue later. After all, one cannot make a good knife if he is distracted.

I saw a strangely shaped stone knife painted on the leaf.

Yes, it did seem strange to Lu Ye. At least in the past few decades, he had never seen a knife like this.

He frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about how to start making it.

Nishi Ichisu waited for his reply nervously.

Taking into account the technical conditions of primitive society, it was neither easy to polish nor to inlay a wooden handle, so Nishi Ikki simply designed a knife made entirely of stone.

Of course, there were some small details that she did worry might be a little tricky for Lu Ye to produce.

She drew the handle of this knife very smoothly and slightly thick; a small round hole was deliberately left in the middle of the handle, like a deep pupil; a groove was designed on the front of the handle for easy buckling, just like the patriarch's knife; one side of the blade was drawn with a protruding thin blade, and the other side was covered with dense and sharp serrations.

In fact, when I saw Lu Ye sharpening the stone knife carefully and skillfully, my worries were alleviated a lot.

Lu Ye's skills and his "craftsman spirit" that pursues perfection are fully worthy of Yan Luo's high evaluation of him - he can make any stone tool you want.

However, this sharp gear-like design was indeed difficult for a primitive society that lacked modern tools.

Even I can't imagine how to polish it.

Lu Ye carefully studied the sketch for a while, pointed at the gear-shaped design and asked, "I have never made a blade like this before. It is indeed difficult and may take a lot of time."

Nishi Ichisu looked at Lu Ye in surprise. He didn't expect that not only did he not refuse, but he agreed without hesitation.

Obviously, Lu Ye is indeed skilled and confident that he can polish the gears on the other side.

Seeing this, she was no longer polite and added: "Grandpa, this side is the gear, I hope this tip can be polished to be extremely sharp, and then the position of this handle needs..."

After he talked about a lot of demands in a long stream, Lu Ye's brows became more and more furrowed.

Nishi Ichisu couldn't help but touch his nose embarrassedly.

Am I the idealistic and difficult client?

[Congratulations, you have a clearer understanding of yourself]

After hearing these requests, Lu Ye was silent for a long time before he slowly replied, "This may take a long time. I will let you know when I have finished polishing it."

Staring at the sketch in his hand, Lu Ye felt a little interested.

The making of this knife definitely requires more effort and time, although I don’t quite understand why Wu Xiqi wanted to make the stone knife like this?

But she has her reasons after all.

Lu Ye has also seen the contributions made by Wu Xiqi in the past few days, so he will do his best to make this stone knife.

Seeing that Lu Ye agreed, Nishi Ichiki smiled and thanked him, "Thank you, Grandpa Lu Ye!"

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something important, and then asked:

"Oh, by the way, Grandpa Luye, do you have any stone like the black knife that the patriarch has?"

Lu Ye's answers were always slow, but this time, he gave an answer quickly:

"No, that knife was presented to Chen Qi's father by other tribes. After the previous chief passed away, it was left to Chief Chen Qi. I have never seen such good stone."

Hearing this answer, Nishi Ichisu lowered his head in disappointment.

It’s almost the same as what the system said.

Seeing Nishi Ichiki's expression, Lu Ye promised in a firm and sincere tone: "Don't worry, I will pick a better stone for you to make a stone knife for you."

I didn't hold out much hope in the first place, so I put aside the disappointment in my heart and once again solemnly thanked Lu Ye: "Thank you, Grandpa."

At this time, Lu Ye stopped talking, silently picked up the stone blank and whetstone beside him, and continued to grind with concentration.

Seeing this, Xi Yiqi knew that he shouldn't bother her any more.

She raised her head and looked at the sky outside the cave which was gradually getting darker, then slowly stood up and walked out of the cave.

As he walked, he kept muttering, "I guess it's about time..."
