Chapter 102: Water Vine

"Ahh

Towards the camp I heard a scream.

"It's Xiaoqian's voice!"

Nie Chunxian's face changed, and he quickly jumped off my back and ran in the direction of the camp with his long legs.

This woman...... Didn't you say your leg hurts?

It turned out to be a lie, but I was a little weak-footed.

There was a box at the door of the camp, and Xiao Qian sat on the ground with a pale face, looking frightened.

"What's going on?"

Nie Chunxian hurried over, and when he saw a bloody pig's head in the box, his face changed, and he was about to fall down as soon as his feet slipped.

Luckily, I arrived in time to hug her.

"It turned out to be a pig's head ......"

Glancing at the contents of the box, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, I was really afraid that they would send a head over, not that I was afraid, but I was afraid that Nie Chunxian and the others would cause unnecessary panic when they saw it.

Xiao Qian looked at the bloody pig's head and was stunned for a while before coming back to her senses, exhaled deeply and patted her chest, she was taken aback in the morning, it was really unlucky.

I was going to take the box and throw it away, but found that there was a note stained red with blood inside.

I opened the note, and it said, 'Su Ye, my patience is limited, and if there is no reply after seven days, it will be Pu Yan's head!'

I rolled up the note and crushed it when I finished reading it.

The other party has not used force for a long time, and it seems that he is planning to play psychological tactics with me.

The people in the camp also knew about the movement in the morning.

"Send a pig's head today, I don't know what will be sent tomorrow. ”

Xiao Qian touched her face with palpitations, if people are frightened, their skin is easy to sag.

"It's always been the other party who spies on us, and now it's even kicking our noses and faces to play intimidation, I think it's time for us to fight back, we can't just sit and wait for them to come to the door to provoke. ”

"Brother Su, what is the best way?"

There are many people on the other side, and if I fight alone, I won't be afraid of them at all, but it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, so I'm afraid that they will attack Nie Chunxian and them behind their backs.

So I don't take the initiative when I'm not sure.

"Send someone to keep an eye on them first, they are not very far from us in the north, and we will make the next decision when we know their whereabouts. ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and after a while, they all nodded, and this is the only way for now.

"And one more question, what if they come over tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to scare us?"

Xiaoqian doesn't want to be scared anymore, it's not that she's too timid, it's just that this kind of behavior is too bad!

"Then wait for him to come. ”

When they came, I cut off their ears first, so that they could not remember long and show off their might in front of me.

It is inevitable that there will be a head-on confrontation between the two sides in the near future, so it is important to prepare for it in advance.

Weapons are indispensable.

The last time I went to the northern camp, I took a closer look, and the weapons used by the other side were also some primitive spears, bows and arrows.

Now this camp has been renovated many times and is very solid, and it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack in the era of cold weapons, and now it happens to be the era of cold weapons.

We are limited in number and must use more powerful weapons to hold the camp.

So I came up with a weapon for long-range attacks, and that was the catapult used in ancient sieges.

Melee weapons make some shield spears.

"Some of the indigenous tribes use shields made of rattan but they are very strong because they are boiled in tung oil. ”

"So you're going to follow suit?"

"That's right. ”

There are tung trees in the forest, and the problem of tung oil is easy to solve, but the rattan for weaving shields is not easy to find, mainly because the rattan must have enough toughness.

"Little Brother Su, can't you use bamboo to weave a shield?"

Xiao Qian felt that it was most appropriate to use bamboo instead of rattan, and most of the tools used during this time were also made of bamboo.

"If it's Luohan bamboo, it's okay, but this wild bamboo is fragile even if it's boiled in tung oil. ”

While looking for rattan, I stumbled upon water rattan, which as the name suggests, is a rattan that contains a lot of water.

If you cut the rattan, you can see water coming out of it, and you can drink it without boiling it.

Nie Chunxian held a freshly chopped rattan, looking at the dripping water and feeling amazing, it was the first time she had seen such a plant.

"Are you sure this water is drinkable?"

"Of course. ”

I picked up a water vine and took a few sips, and the water in the water vine has a unique fragrance of plants, just like drinking lemonade, so it can be said that it is an all-natural drink.

Absolutely green and environmentally friendly without any additives.

Seeing that I drank it, Nie Chunxian couldn't help but taste it.

"How's it going, how does it taste?"

Nie Chunxian licked his lips, "It tastes a bit like sunscreen." ”

"Really, what sunscreen do you use?"

Chen Xinyi, who was on the side, couldn't help but pick up a water vine and drank the water when she heard it.

"How's it going? Does it taste like sunscreen?"

Chen Xinyi pursed her lips and nodded.

"That's weird. ”

I don't know what kind of sunscreen they use, but it tastes like lemon juice, but it's sunscreen.

But I haven't used sunscreen either, so maybe it's really lemon-flavored.

"Little Brother Su, can you eat this kind of thing?"

Xiao Qian found a yellow fruit with many spikes on the outside, but it was not piercing.

The purpose of these spikes is not to defend, but more to spread the seeds, and whenever an animal passes through these spikes, it will hang on the animal and be taken somewhere else.

There are similar plants in rural fields, one called the hairy awl and the other called the cow flea.

It doesn't sound like the name of the plant, because it's a local name, and I don't know what the scientific name is.

"It's a mandarin, it's edible, but you have to break it open with a stone, and the white seeds inside are the edible part. ”

Obviously, I came out to look for weapons and equipment, but I didn't expect to find not only food but also drink.

Sunset West Mountain.

The sturdy rattan has been found, and after dinner, you can start weaving the shield, and the premise of making the shield is that there must be a frame.

On the way back, I cut a lot of willow branches, which were useful for framing.

Catapults require bulky materials, such as thick and bouncy branches.

I'm going to make a simple catapult, it's like a seesaw in an amusement park, and I estimate that the range is about 100 meters, but the killing distance should be within 80 meters.

"What does the shield frame look like?"

The willow twigs had been roasted over the fire, and the purpose of this was to make it more resilient and to bend it more easily to the way I wanted it to be.
