Chapter 028 Houshan 1

Early the next morning, Luo Ran got up early in the morning unusually. After packing up, he began to urge his father to hurry up and make the slingshot promised last night, and planned to visit the whole production process and supervise it. In the face of the high quality and high speed required by the little overseer, the slingshot made by Luo Youli for Luo Ran was a little different. This made Luo Ran couldn't help but admire in his heart after getting his hands, Niu Cha's father.

In fact, the slingshot is similar to the common one in modern childhood, but according to Luo Ran's requirements, there are some more functions and requirements. Luo Youli's slingshot handle is a relatively strong and good wood, choose a three-pronged wood with the right thickness and shape, boil it in salt water for about a quarter of an hour, and then peel it. At the bifurcation of the upper ends, two rings are carved with a file to tie the rubber band to prevent it from loosening. In ancient times, there were no ready-made rubber bands, so they were replaced by cow leather bands. At Luo Ran's special request, two kinds of rubber bands were tied to the slingshot, one thick and one thin, one long and one short, which were used to launch small stones and slightly larger stones.

The thin rubber band requires not much strength, Luo Ran can pull it up easily, and of course the power is not very great, just like an ordinary slingshot; The thick one requires a lot of strength to pull, and Luo Ran only pulls half of the tendons that feed him, but according to Luo Ran's words, it is very good: "The strength will increase, and it will not be long before you can draw the bow and shoot the eagle." As he spoke, he also used a slingshot to draw a bow and shoot arrows.

In the end, Luo Youli was afraid that the child's hands would be grinded, so he polished the handle of the slingshot and rubbed the walnut oil one by one (in fact, it was wiped with a walnut kernel) to make the slingshot feel more tactful.

The slingshots were all ready, and Luo Ran was also well prepared, each carrying his own back basket, putting a small shovel and other gadgets in the back basket, holding the freshly made slingshot in his hand, and starting to set off.

After going out, the three children were more excited. Luo Wensheng used his brother's slingshot to play before, but he didn't have his own, and his father and mother were afraid of injury, so he didn't let him play much. Although Luo Wenxuan has his own slingshot, it is made by children themselves, and the appearance is not so exquisite, and of course the performance is not good, which cannot be compared with the current one. And boys still prefer slingshots.

Luo Ran looked at the excited expressions of the two in front of him, and remembered his excitement again, and he was very embarrassed. Who hasn't played with a slingshot when they were kids, and I'm here to hunt pheasants and hares, to make money. Luo Ran comforted himself like this, and resolutely refused to admit that he was playful. How old are you, you really pretend to be a child and become a child after a long time. However, this slingshot is much stronger than its modern slingshot in terms of appearance and craftsmanship.

In modern times, many bear children in rural areas have played with slingshots, and basically children make them themselves. However, not only did the birds in the trees suffer, but the glass in the classrooms of the village primary school was not broken. Every once in a while, there are always teachers who stay in the school to chase a group of children shouting and scolding, basically no children have been caught, and the children in the village have been going to the house all day long to uncover the tiles and climb the wall. It's just that the children or students and teachers in the village know each other, and even if they are not caught up, they have to admit it, and in the end, they have no less complaints to their parents. Most of them were beaten by their parents with a feather duster after they lost the glass money.

This time, the few people didn't wander around the forest last time, and went directly through the forest to the foot of the mountain. Luo Wenxuan and a few boys in the village had been to the mountains a few times, so they walked in front to lead the way, Luo Ran pulled Luo Wensheng to follow behind, and used his good eye in this life to start shooting the good things in the mountains.

Walking and stopping all the way, it seems that Luo Wenxuan is very familiar with this, Luo Wenxuan not only pointed to the road, but also said from time to time which one has chestnut trees, which one has fig trees or other wild fruits. Luo Ran felt that the trip was worthwhile, not only did he find a large number of target herbs, bitter seed fruits, but also various other unexpected delights (not ginseng, of course). I came across the herbs that are common in modern times and collected a lot. After the three of them had their baskets full, Luo Ran took out a small cloth bag and filled some more.

I ran into a rabbit along the way and was discovered, but Luo Ran's physical strength and speed, I didn't even think about it. I can only give up, who makes others describe the speed as "running faster than a rabbit", only sighing that there is no bow and arrow. I don't want to think about whether I can pull a bow and arrow with a little effort.

Still, it took a long time for a few people to hunt a pheasant. A pheasant was shot by a stone for more than ten times before it was caught, and one of them was Luo Ran who wanted to flee after seeing the chicken injured, and directly picked up the orange-sized stone next to him and smashed it directly, as a result, the pheasant died and returned to the west. When I met the rabbit just now, I regretted that there was no bow and arrow, and the slingshot was not powerful. However, after looking at the pheasant in his hand, he felt that the slingshot was also quite useful. The pheasants in the mountains and forests are not like domestic clumsy and honest, they run very fast, and they can fly up to a meter high when their wings are flapped, and the speed is not slow. If they hadn't injured the pheasant's wings with a slingshot just now, the few people wouldn't have been able to catch up with the pheasant.

Holding the miserable pheasant that was smashed, Luo Ran laughed happily in addition to laughing. Luo Wenxuan, who watched it, was silent in his heart: "I don't know this sister, I don't know this sister." As a result, in a blink of an eye, I saw that my younger brother Wensheng was also toothless, and I sighed in my heart that the world of foodies was the same. "Foodie" was learned by Luo Wenxuan from Luo Ran once, and this time it was used accurately.

After the pheasant was caught, the treatment of the pheasant was discussed again.

"Take it home and let my mother boil chicken soup, it's delicious." Luo Wensheng was already thinking about a full bowl of chicken soup.

"Boiling chicken soup is delicious, it's just ......" Luo Wenxuan thought more, if he took it home, the big guy would eat together, and his younger brothers and sisters would be able to eat a few bites of meat at that time.

"No, you can't take it home. It's not certain whether you can eat it when you take it home. Let's roast and eat in the mountains. Luo Ran directly denied it, Luo Ran remembered the practice of "calling flower chicken", so he decided to eat this called flower chicken this time.

Luo Wenxuan also agreed: "Okay, I just want to leave chicken legs for my father." ”

So the three of them divided the labor, the firewood was collected, the pit was dug and the pit was dug, and the clean-up was cleaned up. Half a chicken is enough for three children to eat. After eating, they wrapped the two chicken thighs that had been torn off and put them in the back basket, and the time was not too early, and the three of them began to go back. Of course, they disguised themselves again, and after the top of the basket was covered with freshly picked wild vegetables, they happily went home.
