"Horn Bow!"

At the same time, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai, who were nearby, also showed interested expressions on their faces when they heard this.

"I'm interested."

At this time, Murong Guang was also pleasantly surprised: "Uncle Batu, are you willing to transfer that bow to me?" ”

"Not my bow."

However, Uncle Batu shook his head and said, "A friend of mine also has a good bow in his hand, but recently the child has been admitted to college and needs a sum of money urgently, so he wants to sell the bow." His bow is also very good, if Boss Mu is interested, I can take you to see it. ”

"That's it......" Murong Guang hesitated a little, obviously moved, but he was worried that he was now playing with Wang Guan and Yu Feibai, and it was difficult to get out and leave.

Seeing this, Yu Feibai immediately smiled and said, "It's not far away, we also want to go and see." ”

"It's not far, it's just nearby." Uncle Batu said with a smile, and after seeing Murong Guang's acquiescence, he immediately said hello to his family, and then also rode a horse and led the way in front.

Soon after, Uncle Batu and the three of them came to another herdsman's house, and when he shouted twice, an uncle dressed in a simple dress came out.

At this time, Uncle Batu introduced both parties, and everyone knew that the original uncle was called Bagen. However, it should be noted that Uncle Batu and Uncle Bagen are not brothers.

Afterwards, Murong Guang explained that Batu means firm in Mongolian, while Bagen is a pillar, and the meaning seems to be similar, but there are differences. Anyway, it's just a title, and you don't need to get to the bottom of it.

After a few words of greeting, Murong Guang cut to the chase and said, "Uncle Bagen, I heard that you have a horn bow here?" ”

"That's right." Uncle Bagan nodded, and then beckoned, "Everyone go in and talk......"

Invited everyone into the house, and took some drinks and food out to entertain the guests. Uncle Bagan then walked out. He returned a short time later, with an extra longbow in his hand.

Everyone looked and saw that the longbow was also some years old. The whole body is full of antiquity, and even a little bit of wear. However, it can also be seen that Uncle Bagan takes great care of this longbow, and under regular maintenance, the bow body is faintly shiny and floating. In particular, the middle part of the bow body has a warm pulp.

Seeing this, Wang Guan was completely sure that this longbow must have been used frequently. As for the quality, how. He didn't say much, but considering that he would definitely have to try the bow later, it is estimated that the quality should not be bad. Otherwise, Uncle Batu would not have specially recommended it to Murong Guang.

"Boss Mu, take a look."

At this time, Uncle Bagen reluctantly handed the horn bow to Murong Guang, and then sighed softly: "I won't cheat you, this is something that my grandfather has handed down, and it has been seventy or eighty years now." So stuff you buy back. It will last for another twenty or thirty years at most, and then it will be scrapped. ”

The horn bow is the pinnacle of ancient Chinese bows and arrows, and by far no less than bows made of modern materials.

It is worth mentioning that the horn bow is a composite bow. It is made of cow horn sheets, bamboo and wood tires, beef tendons, animal glue and other materials through 100 processes. It's not like you can just take the horns and cut them into a bow shape as everyone thinks.

The basic process is to make a bow bone from tough bamboo and wood, and then attach a piece of horn to the back of the bow bone. Each horn slice is about two to three inches long. Glue a special glue to the back of the bow one by one. After that, the tendons should be carefully glued on the outside of the glued horns......

Anyway, it is a very cumbersome process, the process is very demanding, if the horn is not sticky, the bow may break when drawn. However, despite the high technical difficulty and long production cycle of this horn bow, it cannot be preserved for a long time, and it can only be preserved for a hundred years at most.

Uncle Bagen said that this bow has been used for seventy or eighty years, so if it has been used for twenty or thirty years, or ten or eight years, there should be all kinds of problems with the bow.

In this regard, Murong Guang didn't mind, but smiled heartily: "It's okay, as long as the bow is good, I'll buy it." Anyway, I also figured it out, and before this time period, Uncle Bagan probably may not be willing to let this old bow. ”

"Hey, hey." Uncle Bagan smiled innocently and nodded silently in acknowledgement. However, he can be honest with each other, and honestly tell the age of the longbow, and his character is definitely a hundred times stronger than some people.

"Without further ado, let's go out and try the bow first."

Immediately, Murong Guang waved his hand and said, "After the bow test, let's continue to talk." ”

"Okay." Uncle Bagen also simply brought a few long arrows over, and led everyone to an open place outside the door, and there were a few haystacks not far away, which were very suitable for archery.

At this time, Murong Guang stood sideways, holding the bow with his left hand, and slowly pulling the string with his right hand. After testing the strength of the bowstring slightly, he smiled with satisfaction on his face, then took the arrow and hung the string, and immediately let go of the arrow.

"Whoosh!"

The moment the bowstring fluttered, the long arrow flew through the air and sank directly into the haystack more than thirty paces away.

"It's okay." Uncle Batu's eyes narrowed slightly, he saw very clearly, nodded and smiled: "But the loose string is too fast, and the arrow is a little not straight, and it is a little skewed." ”

"Hehe, it's good to practice more." Murong Guang smiled awkwardly, and immediately handed the longbow to Yu Feibai on the side, and then said with a smile: "Uncle Bagen, let's go to the house to talk?" ”

Uncle Bagen is simple, not stupid, so he naturally understands what Murong Guang means, and he is happy to go. The two went into the house to discuss the price of buying a bow, and Yu Feibai was ready to draw a bow and shoot arrows with great interest.

"You can't do it, don't hurt your hands." Wang Guan was a little worried.

You must know that this is not an international bow, you can shoot an arrow by pulling the trigger directly. After all, the strings of the horn bow are broken very tightly, and if you are not careful, you will cut your fingers. This is definitely not a joke, otherwise why would the ancients have invented a wrench. The original function of the wrench is to protect the finger sleeve, which is a special tool for archery.

"Don't worry, I have experience!" Yu Feibai said with a smile, sure enough, he was more skilled in drawing the bow and arrow, and the last arrow was shot, and it was extremely smooth in one go. But this quasi-head, it seems to be a little bit off.

Seeing the long arrows that swept directly from the haystack, Wang Guan tried his best to endure it, so he didn't laugh. But Uncle Batu didn't have so many worries, and just grinned heartily.

"I'm trying my hand." Yu Fei's white face turned red, but he still said stiffly: "I'm looking for a feeling to understand, look at it, my next arrow will definitely hit the target." ”

A moment later, Yu Feibai's next arrow came, and it was indeed the target. However, at this time, Wang Guan couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing directly. Because his arrow was in the middle of another haystack next to it.

"What are you laughing at, you have the ability to come."

Yu Feibai didn't blush anymore, and directly stuffed the bow and arrow into Wang Guan's hand, hugged his hand and said, "Let you try, you will know how difficult it is." ”

"This little brother is right." Uncle Batu nodded and said, "This archery looks easy, but it actually requires a certain amount of skill. It's easy to draw a bow and shoot an arrow, but to hit the target, you need to study and practice hard......"

"Is it really hard?" Wang Guan picked up the horn bow with great interest, and did not rush to shoot arrows, but only touched the bowstring slightly, and sure enough, he found that the string was very tight. This is an ancient bowstring, Wang Guan humbly asked Uncle Batu for advice, only to know that it is made of cowhide and cow tendon, which is not only very tough, but also not easy to break.

Of course, the most important thing is that it feels better, unlike modern steel wire strings, which are too hard in the words of Uncle Batu, and they don't feel good when they pull up. Unlike a cowhide band bowstring, it can be described as soft with hard, soft with rigid, rigid and soft......

"Don't bother."

At the same time, Yu Feibai wanted to see the joke, and kept urging: "Hurry up and shoot an arrow." ”

"Got it."

Wang Guan nodded, and pulled the arrow sideways very regularly, and the haystack was directly in front of the target. Then, with a slow effort, the string and bow gradually formed a full moon.

"Huh!"

Seeing this, Uncle Batu had a little more surprise in his eyes. After all, he also has a horn bow at home, so he naturally knows how much strength it takes to pull the horn bow into a full moon. I didn't expect that Wang Guan could do it.

"Whoosh!"

It was at this moment that Wang Guan's fingers loosened, and the long arrow flashed like a meteor, and the arrow body was very straight, directly breaking through the air and plunging into the haystack. Then, under the stunned gaze of the others, the long arrow easily passed through the haystack, and then under the impetus of Yu Jin, it flew seven or eight meters away, and then fell.

Not to mention the accuracy, there must be a two-point deviation, but the difference is not outrageous. The most important thing is the power of the long arrow, which actually passes directly through the haystack. Even if the hay is loose and the volume is not large, don't forget that when a pile of grass is stacked, the toughness in it is not small, and not any arrow can shoot through it.

Uncle Batu suspects that if he doesn't shoot at a grass target, but directly shoots people, he is estimated to be able to shoot people through the chest with one arrow.

"I'm not dazzled." At this time, Murong Guang walked out, his eyes were a little amazed: "The arrow just now really passed through the haystack, not flying overhead?" ”

At the right time, Yu Feibai also came back to his senses and directly asserted: "Luck, definitely luck." ”

"Not luck."

Uncle Batu said in the opposite tone, shaking his head and saying, "This little brother just pulled the bowstring full, and his hand is very steady, and the long arrow flew straight out, and it is not strange to penetrate the haystack. ”

"Pull the strings full, a lot of strength." Murong Guang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Brother Wang, you should be free tomorrow, how about accompanying me to hunt?" ”

"Hunting?" Wang Guan was stunned and said, "What kind of hunting?" ”

"It's to hunt in the mountains, but you can only hunt prey with ancient bows and arrows." Murong Guang said with great interest: "With your strength, Brother Wang, as long as you are not bad, you will definitely have a great chance to win the title of King of Hunting." ”

"King Hunter, that name sounds very majestic." Yu Feibai said with interest: "Uncle, what's going on, hurry up and tell me in detail." ”

“…… Let's go back and talk about it. ”

Murong Guang smiled and turned around to say goodbye to Uncle Batu and Uncle Bagen. (To be continued......)
