Chapter 354: The Heavy Steel Greatbow
…… After noticing that someone was following him and Liu Dong was murderous again, he did not go to the hotel again, but drove towards the outskirts of the island city.
"Hey, I didn't expect there to be a shop that sells this thing!" Because of the need to observe the relationship between the tracking vehicles behind, Liu Dong's relic Yuanguang was always on, and in this way, with him as the center, anything within a radius of 100 meters could not escape his eyes. After that, I naturally found something interesting.
Slowly turned off the engine, parked the car on the side of the road, and then Liu Dong walked to a stop in front of a shop that showed light but was obviously closed.
"Dream Yuan Sporting Goods Store!"
After glancing at the name of the store, Liu Dong reached out and knocked on the roller shutter that had been pulled down halfway!
"Who, in the middle of the night, didn't you see that it was closed?" After hearing Liu Dong's knock on the door, a middle-aged male voice full of impatience sounded.
To be honest, it's really not early now, Liu Dong was already almost 11 o'clock when he came out of Caesar's Bar, let alone now.
However, in summer, the days are long and the nights are hot, and people in the city generally sleep late, so even if it is already more than eleven o'clock, most people are just ready to sleep, of course, for most young people, eleven o'clock is the time to play, and it is still early to rest.
"Boss, I want to buy something, it'll be good soon!"
Liu Dong's voice was very young, which made the shopkeeper lower his guard a little, and this is the city center. It is also close to the bustling streets. Although there are fewer people at this point. However, there is still no shortage of pedestrians on the roadside. So the boss just bent down to look outside, and after making sure that Liu Dong was alone, he opened the inside pop door, and then pulled the roller shutter up.
The boss is a middle-aged man in his thirties, but he maintains a good figure, and he does not have the beer belly and loose muscles that are common to middle-aged people, but he looks very strong, and he is obviously the master of regular exercise.
"Come in. What do you want to buy? After the boss looked Liu Dong up and down, and after seeing that he was well-dressed and not like a bad person, he let him in.
"I want to buy a bow!" Liu Dong said, followed the boss and walked in, the space in the store is not large, about 100 square meters, the middle shelves are slowed down with sports equipment such as basketball, volleyball, and football, and all kinds of bows are hung on the walls, although they look different. The shape is gorgeous, but Liu Dong understands that these bows are all flashy and unrealistic. It's okay to leave it to people for fitness, but if you want to shoot and kill, it's not enough.
"You want a bow?" Liu Dong's answer surprised the middle-aged boss very much. A young man, instead of accompanying his girlfriend at night, ran to his shop to buy a bow, which was the first time he had encountered such a thing.
"Yes!" Liu Dong nodded, "What?" Isn't the boss going to sell? ”
"Sell, since you want to buy, I will naturally sell!" After finishing speaking, he pointed to the wall casually, "No, the bows are hanging on the wall, look at it, what do you like?" ”
Hearing this, Liu Dong shook his head, "Boss, I don't want those bows, they are all useless, I will break them as soon as I pull them, I don't want them!" ”
"It's useless, and it will break when you pull it?" The middle-aged boss said with a sneer on his face, "You brag and don't make drafts!" ”
Although he also knew that the bows hanging on the wall were not powerful bows, and the materials were not good, but there was no problem at all in bearing more than a hundred catties of tension, not to mention that ordinary people could not pull badly, even if they were physically strong, they could not break these bows at all.
"Boss, if I break these bows, I'll lose money, but you have to promise to find me a bow that I can use!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Okay, as long as you can break any bow here, then not only will I not ask you for money, but I will also give you a good bow that can be used for nothing!" The middle-aged boss was also stimulated by Liu Dong's arrogant words, and made a promise immediately.
After hearing this, Liu Dong smiled faintly, walked over a few steps and took down a bow that looked like a competition from the wall, the bow piece is high-strength fiberglass, the bow handle is an aluminum alloy bow, and the bowstring is high-strength polyester.
After Liu Dong took it down from the wall, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the bowstring and tried it, with his previous experience, he immediately noticed that the bow was sixty or seventy meters flat shot, and it should be about 160 meters if it was thrown, which was not bad.
"But it's still too light!" Thinking in his heart, Liu Dong used his arms hard, and he heard the sound of 'Gaba', and the high-strength polyester, which should have been extremely tough, was broken into two under Liu Dong's pull.
And next to this scene, the middle-aged man who was planning to watch the excitement was about to drop his jaw.
Seeing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile. Now, with the improvement of his internal and external skills, the maximum arm strength of a single arm has reached nearly 1,000 kilograms. Pulling off this bow is a breeze.
"How's it going, boss? I didn't lie to you, did I? ”
Hearing Liu Dong's words, the middle-aged boss looked at him like a monster, and it wasn't until half a minute later that he said, "I've lived for more than thirty years, and it's the first time I've seen a freak like you!" ”
"But my Wang Yuan is a good talker, you wait!" After speaking, the middle-aged man 'pedaled' up the stairs.
This person's shop is the same as Ma Chao's grandfather's Ji Gu Zhai, both commercial and residential, this middle-aged man opened a store on the first floor, and the second floor is his house, but the area is not as big as Ma Chao's house.
"Hey, I was only happy to win the money at that time, but I forgot to get the property rights of Jigu Zhai back!" At this time, Liu Dong suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip to the Four Seas Gang Casino tonight.
"Sure enough, it's a wealth that touches people's hearts!" Liu Dong sighed secretly in his heart.
"How about you look at this bow?" Just when Liu Dong was thinking about his own affairs, the middle-aged man walked down with a longbow again.
Hearing this, Liu Dong nodded, stretched out his hand and took the bow in the middle-aged man's hand. Then he turned his hand upside down, and then nodded, this bow is lighter than the one he used in his hometown before, but this casting is quite fine, and it is also the old craftsmanship of making war bows in the previous feudal era, and the bow body is also mountain mulberry wood, which was used in the famous divine arm bow in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Next, whether it is close to the inside of the bow, it is also a serious horn, and the bowstring is also a serious cow tendon, and the material used for a qiē is the material used to make the bow in the early days.
"Not bad!" Liu Dong nodded.
Hearing Liu Dong's praise, the middle-aged man couldn't help but say a little proudly, "Of course it's good, this is specially customized by me to the 'Juyuan' in the capital, and it took me a year to get it!" ”
Juyuanhao, Liu Dong has also heard of it, it used to be the Qing court's royal royal special arsenal for making zuò bows and arrows, supported by the royal family, not worried about eating and drinking, and made a living by making zuò bows and arrows for generations.
However, in modern times, after the elimination of cold weapons by firearms and the main combat weapons of human beings, bows and arrows naturally withdrew from the stage of history, although there is still archery as a sport, but the bows used in the past will basically not appear in the competition, and this also leads to the old craftsmanship of making these bows and arrows, and gradually lost the inheritance.
"Boss, this bow is good, but it's still too light for me to use!" Saying that, Liu Dong pulled his hands casually, and bowed into a full moon, which made the middle-aged boss's eyes widen.
Of course, if it wasn't for the sake of not damaging this good ancient bow, Liu Dong would have broken it all of a sudden.
"Brother, your strength is too great, my bow here is not suitable for you!" The middle-aged boss shook his head.
Of course, Liu Dong couldn't just leave, but he saw his favorite bow and arrow just now, so he deliberately stopped.
"Boss, don't you have a bow and arrow of steel here? It doesn't matter what the point is? Liu Dong hurriedly said.
"Bows and arrows of steel?" After thinking for a while, the boss immediately showed a look of realization on his face, "Wait, I'll go see if that thing is still there!" After finishing speaking, the boss didn't care about Liu Dong, and turned around again and ran upstairs.
Seeing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile and said: "It seems that this boss is also a person who loves bows and arrows, and he is not afraid that I will steal his things when he leaves alone!" ”
After a while, Liu Dong heard the sound of talking and heavy footsteps coming from upstairs.
Soon, a middle-aged man appeared at the top of the stairs, but this time it was not just him who came down, but a family of three. The middle-aged man was in front, a middle-aged woman and a boy of about six or seven years old were behind, and the three of them walked out with great difficulty carrying a heavy bow.
Seeing this bow, Liu Dong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly walked over, stretched out his right hand and lifted it up at once.
Feeling the heavy weight on his hands, Liu Dong nodded with satisfaction.
And seeing him holding this big bow weighing one hundred and fifty pounds and reaching a length of 180 centimeters in one hand, as if he didn't feel the weight at all, the middle-aged man and his wife couldn't help but show a surprised expression on their faces, while the child next to him hugged his father's leg and looked at Liu Dong's face full of curiosity.
"Boss, this bow is good, how much does it cost?" Liu Dong tried it and said with satisfaction.
"Do you really want to buy it?" The middle-aged boss couldn't help asking.
In fact, this bow is just a plaything he has built, mainly for decorative purposes. However, the materials used are really good, and the high-carbon tungsten steel used for the bow body is not inferior in toughness and strength to tool steel, which is one of the hardest steels such as the so-called machine tool cutter. The bowstring is made of beef tendon and raw cowhide, and in order to enhance the pulling force, three beef tendons and three raw cowhide are twisted together. Then the bow body was wrapped in eye snake skin, and then glued with the deer glue used in ancient times to make bows, etc., after a series of tedious processes, this large bow was made.
