Chapter 42 Bow and Arrow
"Ah?!" Bai Xiaoyi heard Lu Ming say that Xu Dong and Li Cheng were going to kill someone, and her face turned pale with fright.
Although she also participated in the survival game, she had been under Lu Ming's protection and care, so she didn't really understand the cruelty of this game.
"Lu Ming, I won't let them bully you like this!" Bai Xiaoyi said, grabbing the sapper shovel and looking out of the cave angrily.
"Bai Xiaoyi, don't be impulsive yet. Now their main purpose is to find food, and as long as they can find food, they won't have to bother with us. Lu Ming pressed Bai Xiaoyi's hand and said.
The rain outside gradually stopped.
Bai Xiaoyi carefully wrapped the wound on Lu Ming's head with a strip of cloth.
When the fire was blazing, Lu Ming and Bai Xiaoyi sat by the brazier, looking at the flames that burned orange. No one spoke much.
The bundle of rope was destined not to return.
Li Cheng and the others have lost their moral restraint. And there is not the slightest truth to talk about them.
Lu Ming was thinking about how to stop Xu Dong and their next move against them.
His plan to move the shelter to the cliff became even more urgent.
"I can't leave myself unprotected in their sight anymore. Lu Ming thought.
He had already cut down seven or eight trees, and the trunks of these bowls were still piled up at the bottom of the mountain, and he had to find a way to get to the cliff.
Although the number of trees was smaller than he expected, it was barely enough for him to build shelter and make a fire.
It's just that the ropes and vines used to make rope ladders are far from enough.
He had to take advantage of Xu Dong's slack to finish these things. Otherwise he wasn't sure if they would find out if the four of them had left and searched around.
Many times, reasoning is useless. Since they used violence against themselves, in order to ensure the safety of himself and Bai Xiaoyi's lives, he had to deal with these people with violence.
The fact that Li Cheng used a trap to trap himself made Lu Ming feel their cunning and ruthlessness. It also reminded him not to despise these people, and to rely on his physical strength to deal with the people under the mountain.
"Xu Dong has always wanted to get this sapper shovel! I must not let him get it!" Lu Ming thought as he held the multi-functional shovel.
"What are you thinking?" Bai Xiaoyi naturally held Lu Ming's hand, and she tried to feel the man's emotional ups and downs.
"Bai Xiaoyi, there must be an unknown side in this isolated island, if we want to find a way out, we have to take risks. Lu Ming thought about it for a long time, and told Bai Xiaoyi all his thoughts.
"Well, I listen to you. Bai Xiaoyi listened to Lu Ming's words and nodded seriously.
"Let's live together!"
The situation on the island is getting more and more sinister. Not only is food scarce, but the trust between them has also endured the entrance examination. Thinking that the people on this island are so crazy that they want to kill people. She felt a little scared.
She didn't know what she would have done without Lu Ming?
At the same time, she didn't want Lu Ming to be hurt by those people again in order to survive.
But now, Lu Ming has given her new hope.
This man is not only industrious and brave, but also calm and wise.
She found a strong sense of security in Lu Ming.
"Bai Xiaoyi, when the rain stops, we must bring Lin Yun and Sun Meimei with us and make some preparations. Lu Ming said softly.
"Hmm. Bai Xiaoyi responded softly.
"During this time, don't go out alone. You should also be frugal in what you eat. Lu Ming said contemplatively.
Bai Xiaoyi nodded firmly.
"Everything will be fine. After Lu Ming finished speaking, he reached out and pulled his backpack over.
Due to this heavy rain, they will not have to worry about water shortages for the time being. But they must move to a safe place before Wang Hao and the others lose their humanity.
Lu Ming subconsciously thought of the issue of weapons.
Fruit knives are sharp though. But the length is limited. If the enemy attacks from a distance, he can only defend passively. Wang Hao: There are many of them. A bunch of stones smashed over was enough for Lu Ming to be unable to parry.
But if he has a long-range attack weapon, it is different, and the first thing that comes to his mind is the bow and arrow, which he can use to attack the target from a distance.
And the bow and arrow are easy to operate, even if it is Bai Xiaoyi Lin Yun, without too much practice, only sharp arrows are enough to constitute a great deterrent, so that others dare not approach her easily.
"That's right, just do it!" Lu Ming gradually became excited.
He's not a clumsy man. There are a lot of ready-made materials on this hill that can be utilized. It's just that his way of survival dictates that he doesn't need arrows to hunt
food, so he didn't waste time and energy on this kind of useless stuff.
Now, his and Bai Xiaoyi's personal safety has been seriously threatened, and he has to prepare for the battle.
He knew that there were small trees growing around the cave. The tree is extremely tough and resilient.
There is no problem at all with the use of a bow. As for the bowstring, it can be made entirely from the fiber in the rattan to rub the rope.
"With a bow and arrow, it's possible to shoot seabirds. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't sit still anymore, "Bai Xiaoyi, I'll go out and come back soon!"
"Lu Ming ran away, impossible, how could he climb out of that pit!" Xu Dong suddenly fell into panic.
"Hmph, it looks like we still underestimated him. Li Cheng's face was also extremely gloomy.
"Look at the good things you have done, how should you explain it next time you meet Lu Ming, we also swore an oath, isn't this completely forcing Lu Ming to do something with us. Wang Hao glared at Li Cheng angrily.
Although Li Cheng was dissatisfied, he could not refute it.
Inside the cave.
Lu Ming used the edge of the knife to break open a one-meter-and-a-half-long tree trunk. The elastic part of the outside is trimmed into four wooden strips that are more than an inch wide and half an inch thick.
He is to make the wood into the body of a bow.
Lin Yun and Sun Meimei, who listened to Bai Xiaoyi's story of yesterday's incident, also became nervous, Lin Yun tore off the long fibers in some of the bark that Lu Ming brought back, and then kneaded those fibers into thin long ropes with his hands.
Beside them, there were also four or five straight wooden sticks, one end of which had been sharpened by Lu Ming and hardened by the flames in the fire.
While rubbing the rope, Bai Xiaoyi glanced at Lu Ming, who was concentrating on scraping sawdust with stone chips.
Suddenly, he said softly, "Lu Ming, are you thirsty, I'll pour you water?"
"I'm not thirsty, you and Lin Yun Sun Meimei can rest for a while, and I'll take care of the rest." Lu Ming smiled at Lin Yun, lowered his head and went to get the few pieces of wood again.
After these wood chips are repaired, they must be dried in the shade to be used for bowing, otherwise they will be easily pulled off if they are not strenuous and will be easily broken.
"I'm fine. Lin Yun looked at the thin rope that slowly extended from the palm of his hand, and was very proud in his heart.
Looking at the bloodshot corners of Lin Yun's eyes, Lu Ming felt a little guilty.
She must not have slept well last night.
