Bölüm 148: Koleksiyon

Shao Xuan, kabile üyelerinin kabile dışında bulunan eşyalara karşı doğal olmayan bir merakları olduğunu biliyordu ancak her zaman ciddi olan ve "Şaman birinci ama ben ikinciyim" tavrını takınan Xing için onun da heyecanlanacağını düşünmek şaşırtıcıydı.

Xing’s nose twitched, his nostrils flaring as his breath grew ragged, each breath becoming harder than the last as this old face grew red.

“Bu….. Bu……”

Xing carefully put the stone in his hands, meticulously examining it. At his age, whether it’s hunting or polishing stone tools, his experience outstripped the rest of the tribe’s. He could naturally see that this stone was polished not that long ago, perhaps within these few years, and at most within the last ten years.

However, since this stone wasn’t a remnant of the ancestors, where did it come from?!

Şamanın buraya ne kadar aceleyle koştuğunu düşününce, sadece dağ eteğinden gelen bir çocuk için olsaydı, bu aşırı olmaz mıydı? And so, the purpose for the Shaman’s visit naturally must be because of this stone.

Thinking this far, Xing didn’t care about some spot on the 30 name list either, what new route, what competition? Right now, the only thing he wanted to know was this stone’s history!

Sitting there, the Shaman had finally managed to calm down, albeit still taking ragged breaths. Although his hands were still shaky, his expression had already reverted back to being unperturbed and profound.

"Burada olmamın nedeni bu." Şaman belirtti.

Unconsciously, Xing’s body leant towards the Shaman, and he pricked up his ears, ready to listen carefully. With a slightly shaky voice the Shaman started, “Ah Xuan, tell Old Xing how you obtained this stone.”

Xing’s eyes widened in shock as he looked at Shao Xuan. Şamanın sözleri onu şaşkına çevirmişti.

Ne? Bu taş Ah Xuan tarafından mı elde edildi?! Nereden geldi?

Durun, bu çocuk bir yıllığına ortadan kayboldu!

"Sen, çabuk konuş!" Xing, Shao Xuan'la yüzleşmek için dönerken emretti. Xing’s harsh tone was more intense than normal due to the urgency of the matter. When people heard him talk, they would feel as if they were being interrogated, as his two eyes seemed like a pair of daggers stabbing into you.

Ancak Shao Xuan onun ses tonuna aldırış etmedi. Since the Shaman was here, Xing couldn’t do anything to him.

“Bunun gibi…”

Shao Xuan hızlı bir şekilde taşın kökenini açıkladı ancak Xing'in aciliyeti nedeniyle pek çok şeyi atladı ve yalnızca taşı nasıl elde ettiğine odaklandı.

“Hui….. Hui Kabilesi!” Xing'in gözleri kırmızıya döndü. Looking at the Shaman he asked, “The reason for you coming here, it was to verify this, right?”

The Shaman nodded his head, “Yes, I hope that you will bring that thing out.”

Taking a deep breath, Xing carefully put the stone back. Sanki kırılgan bir şeyle uğraşıyormuş gibi hareket ediyordu, her küçük hareketinde son derece dikkatliydi, bu taşı kırmaktan korkarak vücudunu kontrol etmek için her türlü çabayı gösteriyordu.

Usually, Xing would pass through like thunder and move like the wind, his methods were heavy and fierce. To see him acting like this, his family members would be scared to death.

Xing'in evi yaklaşık yirmi metrekareydi. Apart from a stone table, his house only had a few wooden chairs, and an extremely large stone jar that Xing used as storage.

Half kneeling, Xing opened the jar, extended both hands within, and pulled out a stone box. Each and every one of his movements were as cautious as when he was handling the patterned stone.

Shao Xuan noticed that Xing was looking at the box with eyes full of reverence, his emotions clearly visible. At this moment, his sharp eyes were focused on the stone box, as if nothing else in this world mattered.

Carefully placing the box on the table, Xing opened it.

Shao Xuan içeriye bakmak için boynunu uzattı. İçeride bir kutu daha vardı. [TL: Boxception O.o]

Between these two boxes were some wood shavings, evidently meant to protect the inside box.

Küçük kutuyu yavaşça çıkaran Xing, büyük bir dikkatle tahta talaşlarını yavaşça sildi; eylemleri her zamanki davranışlarından çok farklıydı.

Kapağı açtı.

Inside, there were more wood shavings, and in the middle of all that was an object covered with thick animal hide. After so much experience in hunting, Shao Xuan could tell how high quality this hide was.
Ordinarily, high quality animal hide was hard and stiff, but there were also softer areas, it was just harder to come by.

Bu malzemelerin hepsi birinci sınıftı. Exquisite wood shavings, and this hard to come by animal hide, all in order to protect the object inside. All this careful packaging was making Shao Xuan extremely curious, attentively watching Xing’s actions.

With full concentration, Xing carefully took out the wrapped object and started unwrapping it, immediately letting Shao Xuan see.

Shao Xuan focused on this precious object that had Xing and the Shaman so worked up. Birkaç kez gözlerini kırpıştırdı; sonra tekrar gözlerini kırpıştırarak ona bir kez daha baktı.

Shao Xuan didn’t know what kind of expression he should bring out regarding this object. He felt that, in his heart, there was a flock of birds pecking at him repeatedly.

Onların söylediklerine dayanarak ve Xing ile Şamanın nasıl davrandığını gören Shao Xuan, nesnenin kabile dışından, son derece değerli bir şey olmasını beklemişti; bulunması zor bir hazine. Örneğin, Kartal Dağı'nda bulunan buz parçaları, belki beyaz böceğin derisi veya iplikleri, belki de bir tür ateş kristali. Perhaps even something rougher, like a valuable part from a high level beasts.

But the thing he saw now was totally outside his expectations.

He watched as Xing carefully handled this clay jar, or more accurately, this coloured pot.

Tencerenin üzerindeki resimler, Shao Xuan'ın getirdiği taş üzerindeki resimlere benzer bir stile sahipti; her fırça darbesi dönen bir eğri gibi görünüyordu.

Seeing Shao Xuan staring dumbly at the pot, the corner of Xing’s mouth couldn’t help but rise.

“Haven’t seen something like this before huh?!” Xing gururla gülümsedi.

Shao Xuan'ın dili tutulmuştu.

"Aptalca davrandın ha?!" Xing devam etti.

Shao Xuan hâlâ suskundu.

“This jar is something that has been passed down from my ancestors. It came from outside the tribe, and isn’t even made out of stone!” Xing explained this to the child who came from the mountain foot. Shao Xuan'ın yanıt vermemesi nedeniyle Xing, kendisinin o kadar da bilgili olmadığını ve dolayısıyla bu nesnenin gerçekte ne kadar değerli olduğunu anlayamadığını hissetti. Because even when they used the instructions in the ancestor’s scroll, they had yet to successfully recreate a jar.

Fast forward a few thousand years, items like this jar became the tribe’s priceless treasures, something kept hidden away to safeguard. And so, the people protecting the jar naturally formed an air of superiority.

Her ne kadar bu kavanoz son derece kırılgan olsa da, güçlü totem savaşçılarıyla ya da evcilleştirilemez vahşi canavarlarla karşı karşıya kalsalar bile hiç kimse bu hazineyi teslim etmezdi!

"Bunu düşününce, miras kalan bir hazineye sahip başka bir aile daha var ve o da bir kil kavanoz. Kavanozlarının üzerinde resimler olmaması çok yazık, bu da onu son derece çirkin yapıyor. Bunları bir araya koysaydık, ah, aradaki fark etobur vahşi bir canavar ile bir otobur arasındaki fark olurdu," diye devam etti Xing.

In the hearts of the tribe members, the creatures that weren’t strong and didn’t eat meat were all useless. They were looked down upon by all, as herbivores were unable to compare with the highly looked upon bloodthirsty carnivorous beasts.

Shao Xuan bir kez daha suskun kaldı. Bu yaşlı adam fazlasıyla gururlu! Shao Xuan, seeing Xing’s smug, smiling, proud face, almost wanted to beat him up.

No wonder that when listening to the gossip, he would always hear about a dispute between Xing and someone new every time. Apart from his manner, it must also be because of his family’s clay jar, something they have that is superior to others.

Opening his mouth, Shao Xuan did not know how to respond. This was the difference between him and the native people of this world.

Observing this jar and what was on it, he noted the simple lines, some resembled clouds and some resembled wind. In addition, there was a face with such swirling brushstrokes, the face seemed oddly exaggerated. The jar was fully decorated in three colors, red, brown, and purple.

To the tribe’s people, not only was this beautiful, but more importantly, this painting contained the totem image of the tribe. This image gave off a strange feeling unique to shaman drawings, and was an indication of the tribe that it came from.

Just now, Xing had said that this was a product from the Hui tribe. So, back then the ancestors had contact with this Hui tribe?
The Shaman was watching the rambling Xing, forcing a smile and nodding his head along. Whenever talk about this jar came up, Xing would always be like this, acting totally opposite to usual manner.

Bir süre konuştuktan ve diğer iki kişinin yanıt vermediğini gören Xing, Shao Xuan'ın getirdiği taşa geri döndü. Excitedly, he closed his eyes as he recalled the patterns on the stone. Xing then carefully lifted the jar up, letting Shao Xuan and the Shaman look at the bottom. Resimlerin eşleştiğini buldular.

"Hui kabilesinden olmalı." Xing açıkladı. Daha önce her zaman diğer kabilelerin onlardan milyonlarca kilometre uzakta olduğuna inanmıştı ve bu yüzden dışarıdan gelen başka bir şey görmemişlerdi.

He never thought that today, something like this would actually happen. That before he died, he would see more things from the Hui tribe, and maybe, possibly meet the people?

Thinking for a while, Xing found his excitement hard to contain. Fervently looking towards the Shaman, he wanted to get a clear answer from him. En azından biraz umutlanmak iyi oldu. The Shaman was the wisest person in the tribe, and apart from him, Xing couldn’t think of anyone else who could solve this problem.

"Bir fikrim var." The Shaman told Xing about how his method involving flying on Chacha’s back to get over the mountain.

Focused on listening, Xing repeatedly nodded his head. “Not bad, the forest over there does have many obstacles. If we can fly over, it would be good.”

Shao Xuan heard the discussion between Xing and the Shaman, and inserted, “Actually, we can try passing by the large river.”

The two people, thinking about how to get across, both turned towards Shao Xuan.
