Chapter 321: What You Promised Me
I took out the long-cherished tiger tendon and tightened it at the ends of the handle of the bow to make a half-moon longbow that stood up almost to my chest.
I pulled it, and the strength was not bad, and when the bowstring rebounded, it could make a sound similar to that of a string.
This one is very exciting!
The arrow I had prepared two days ago, it was made of a solid heavy bamboo, and the arrow body had to be heavy, and the heavy one had penetrating power, so as to hit those wild animals with rough skin and thick flesh, although this sacrificed half of the range, but the general hunting was within fifty or sixty meters, and it was enough to have this range.
The size of the arrow, slightly thicker than the little finger, 90 centimeters long, the body of the arrow must be straight. On the bamboo, it was cut down and covered with a bullet case and a warhead.
At the tail, two pieces of flattened pheasant feathers are tied with thin threads to serve as tail fins, which can not only balance the flight, but also rotate to increase penetration.
This kind of arrow, because the manufacturing process is too cumbersome, so I only made five for the time being, which is almost enough.
When we go into the mountains to hunt, we must carry guns to defend ourselves.
When encountering prey, after hitting these five arrows, if the prey does not fall, then it should also run away at this time, then it is useless to have more arrows in hand.
In addition, this arrow can be reused, if it is not broken, you can continue to fight when you pick it up, it is a business without capital, as long as you sell a handful of strength.
I took an arrow, clasped it with my fingers, tried it, took aim, and found the center point of the bow. Then, on the premise of not destroying the overall toughness and strength of the bow body, a dagger was used to cut a small groove on the side of the center point.
This small groove is used to release the arrow when pulling the string, and its function is, of course, to correct the direction of the arrow and facilitate aiming.
The conditions are limited, of course I can't dig a hole in the middle, that one has to be made of steel, and the wooden one can easily break the whole bow.
Finally, I wrapped a layer of cloth around the grip of the bow to make it easier to hold when the bow was drawn.
A longbow, finally made, and once it was fine-tuned, I was eager to try it.
I greeted Kexin: "Quick, girl, put this big bamboo tube on the flat ground twenty meters ahead!"
Ke Xin has been with great interest to accompany me to finish this longbow, knowing that I am going to use this big bamboo tube as a target to try the effect. I was very happy, and ran away with a big bamboo tube on my back.
Several women, hearing my words, also gathered around curiously. I want to see if this craft, which took me several days of hard work, is useless.
I waited for Kexin to turn around, put on a bamboo arrow, pulled the string a few times, and aimed at the middle of the large bamboo tube opposite.
Finally, with all his strength, he pulled the whole bow like a full moon.
String down!
"Boom"!
Bamboo arrows shoot away!
Then there was another crackling sound!
The big bamboo tube twenty meters away on the opposite side exploded directly from the middle!
The arrow entered from the middle of the bamboo tube and ran through the past, the bamboo material was too brittle, and it was directly split in half!
And my flying arrow, at this time, the castration has not completely disappeared, broke the bamboo tube, and then steadily hit into the soil, and it was still about ten centimeters long before it entered!
This power, if it hits the neck of the roe deer, at least it can be pierced!
"Ho!"
Seeing such an unexpected effect, I raised my fist triumphantly and shouted like an angry victor.
I'll ask you, whether you accept it or not!
This effect is not worse than our Colt pistol!
Kexin was the first to jump up and cheer for me: "yes! Brother Lele is great!"
My cousin and the others, although they had always doubted me, couldn't help but believe the facts in front of them, and said, "Hey, this thing is really a bit of a sight to behold." ”
It's a bit of a sight...... Is that all?
Really, can't you praise me without sparing words?
I am not willing to give me any verbal rewards, and I am owed to raise you girls!
Heartless!
You see, people still like this girl.
Kexin snatched my longbow, picked up a bamboo arrow, and pulled it up as soon as she pretended.
As a result, after pulling for a long time, he couldn't move, and he had to lose the battle with a depressed face: "This ...... Why is this so hard?"
I took it and said with a smile: "Your small body, don't even think about pulling it, your two arms, is it enough for a hundred catties of strength? Even if it is enough, it is not good to pull it, you have to be like your brother Lele, who can use a two-hundred-pound one, then you can use this kind of longbow." You'd better pull your little bow. ”
I made the little bow for her two days earlier, using a string as a string and a dried light bamboo as an arrow. If it is rounded, the effective range can also have thirty or forty meters. It is used to fight pheasants in the trees and hares in the grass, and it is much better than my longbow.
But I was not convinced, I said that she had no strength, and she hummed me angrily!
I pinched her face: "Hmph, let's go, Brother Lele will take you into the mountains to hunt!"
But when she heard this, she immediately turned her anger into joy, smiled, and ran back to the house to get her little bow and arrow.
I confessed to my cousin and the others, "It looks like it's going to rain tomorrow at the latest, so I'll have to get some more food." The four of you, go and pick up some more dry firewood nearby, cousin, remember to bring a gun, and don't go separately for the four of you, remember!"
Then I also carried an aka on my back, stepped on a bamboo basket, and with a longing heart, I went up the river and into the mountains.
In fact, we don't have to wade into the mountains, just squat by the river, animals can't do without water, when you are thirsty, you must come to the river to draw water.
We can't wait for a beast to drink water for a while.
But this girl actually used her little bow and arrow to catch the fish in the river.
Not to mention, three or four pounds of big crucian carp, after a while, I actually got five or six for her, and stuffed our bamboo baskets with them!
However, the twenty or so small bamboo arrows with her small bow lost more than half of them, and they all missed the fish and flowed away with the river.
Fortunately, we don't feel distressed, her small bamboo arrows are directly sharpened, no bullet arrows, no arrow feathers, the workmanship is very rough, if you lose it, you can do it again.
I crouched in the grass, quietly observing the movement of wild creatures.
It's a pity, it's a pity that this girl is shouting like this, and she has carried up this piece of mountains, forests and rivers, and it's strange that wild things are willing to come out.
I squatted down and dozed off.
On the other side, Kexin was tired of playing, so he sneaked behind me again, hooked my neck at once, and jumped up.
I felt the softness on her chest, pressing softly against my back, and I couldn't help but feel a wave in my heart.
But soon he reined in his mind and slapped her buttocks: "Don't make trouble, you stupid girl, you drove away all my prey, do you want to eat when you turn back?"
Kexin said: "Eat fish, I caught a lot of fish!"
I said, "Aren't you afraid of eating fish every day?"
Ke Xin said: "Then blame Brother Lele, you are useless, you see that I have gained so much, but you can't get anything!"
"I ...... "I'm too lazy to meet you little girl."
But Xin saw that I couldn't speak, so she grinned and whispered in my ear: "Brother Lele, what you promised me before, shouldn't you take it seriously?"
