Chapter 107: Making a Bow and Arrow

Originally, according to Li Yang's idea, it was okay to plant some random corn to eat tender corn, but her mother said that there are pigs and chickens at home, and they need a lot of corn.

However, these are ordinary hybrid corns, Li Yang waited for a while, bought some fruit corn to plant, and now there are fruit corn seeds for sale in the town.

When the time comes, plant it directly into the ground, and you don't have to be so troublesome.

Li Yang's mother and son, plus Yang Jin, cousin, Liu Jiahui, as well as the eldest uncle and second uncle, the seven of them made it all day before it was completely done.

Then sprinkle the mixed fertilizer ash, cover with film, and wait until three or four leaves have come out before transplanting.

By mid-March, many of the trees were already in bloom.

Almost all the fruit trees in Li Yang's house were cut down, leaving two pear trees and one peach tree in front of the door.

The peach tree is already blooming, with pink petals that feel like a hint of white.

However, because the tree was outside the dam, and it was on a steep slope, it was not easy to reach, so Li Yang was idle, and began to dig a few steps outside and nail the planks so that he could climb up.

These few days are the most leisurely time, the imperial bamboo grass in Longmen Mountain is about to be transplanted, as for Wang Dali's work, there is a long way to go.

However, Li Yang also said that the construction of the cattle farm cannot be completed in one day, so let Wang Dali and them not be in a hurry and take their time.

On the seventeenth, the uncle came to Li Yang's house with a wooden arm on his back, carrying various tools on his back.

"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Li Yang asked curiously.

"I'll make you a better bow when you've been idle lately, and you'll need it when you go into the mountains in the future," the uncle said with a smile.

"Make a bow?" Li Yang suddenly became interested, he liked this thing when he was a child, but at that time, he knew anything, he just found a bamboo chip by himself and bent it casually.

Li Yang looked at the small piece of wood that his uncle had brought over, and asked curiously, "What kind of tree is this?" ”

The uncle took out the tools on his body next to each other, both big knives and small knives.

"Zheshu", said the uncle.

The tree is a species of mulberry, and this tree is very suitable for making a hard bow because it is strong enough, and it is also elastic, even if it is fifty or sixty pounds, it is completely stress-free.

This wood is just a branch of the tree.

The eldest uncle began to rest, and Li Yang watched carefully from the side.

Half an hour later, a wooden stick one and a half meters long appeared.

Then the uncle began to break the bend.

However, this is not a direct bending, but a continuous roasting on the fire, and then bending down little by little, this work is not simple.

In the end, Li Yang got started, and it took more than an hour to bend the wooden stick to a certain extent, but it could not be too bent, and its strength and elasticity must be guaranteed.

After lunch, Li Yang and his uncle continued.

Wang Ziqi squatted on the edge of the stove with two big, two small and four dogs, while Liu Jiahui was preparing hot water and bathing the little girl, taking advantage of the sun.

Yang Jin also moved the computer to the dam, because it was warm, and such good weather was really rare.

Now that the bow is in place, it's time to get ready to pull the strings.

The uncle is ready, a cow tendon, which he specially left.

Li Yang didn't understand the work of pulling the string at all, so he could only get started by his uncle himself, and it took half an hour to finally pull it, and the next thing was to make the arrow.

The uncle personally demonstrated this work, and Li Yang began to put a layer of crust on the outside of the bow to prevent wear and tear.

It wasn't until more than four o'clock in the afternoon that Li Yang's whole set of bows and arrows was ready, three arrows, the arrow body was sixty centimeters long, the arrow was made of iron, which was used by the uncle himself before, there were some rusts, polished it, put it on it, and wrapped a layer of cloth around the tail of the arrow to prevent stabbing hands.

Li Yang began to impatiently draw the bow and test the shot.

If you want to pull the bow full, it seems that it is still very difficult, and you can't even pull it.

"You still have to practice, although the strength is enough, but you still have to pay attention to skills", the eldest uncle began to guide Li Yang beside him.

The effective killing distance of bows and arrows is about 150 meters, but the bows and arrows made by modern people are generally not as lethal as in ancient times.

Li Yang tried it, if this bow is pulled out, it will probably be able to shoot to one hundred and fifty meters, but the effective killing distance is estimated to be only one hundred meters, and with his accuracy, it is estimated to be enough.

Then Li Yang sat alone on the dam and began to polish his bow exquisitely, this was the first bow in the true sense of his life, and it must be treated well.

However, the distance between the dam and the dam was too small, so he was thinking of finding an opportunity to get a shooting range, and he had nothing to do to practice.

Li Yang aimed for a large open space next to him, which was where their neighbors were.

The terrain where these people are located is a little slower than Li Yang's house, because Li Yang is the first family, so the terrain is the highest, and then the further back they go, the more flat the terrain becomes.

And the area of this family is the largest in the whole village, the area here refers to the plane, the dam alone is almost 600 square meters, three houses, and there is a large area of vegetable land above the embankment, this land is not used for cooking, at this time all are wild grass.

The reason why Li Yang hit the idea of this place was because the family no longer lived in the mountains.

But there is no guarantee that they may come back in the future, so Li Yang just wants to rent their dam and the three acres or so of vegetable land above.

For this matter, Li Yang specially found Liu Gang.

However, Liu Gang regretted that the family had been gone for several years and could not be contacted at all.

In the end, Li Yang could only forget it, he would always feel a little uncomfortable in his heart if he took other people's things without their consent.

Fortunately, the dam is always there, and it is not broken, and Li Yang can use it as a place to practice.

However, this also made Li Yang start to think about another thing, that is, the problem of his own venue.

Because of the topography, Li Yang's family has a total of more than 600 square meters of flat land, excluding the three wooden houses and kitchens, the area of the dam is actually 60 or 70 square meters.

Li Yang was not satisfied with this area, and he began to think about a big thing.

That is to build a large number of buildings, and fill out another 600 square meters of flat land for their own house.

At present, this little place is not enough, so if you really need other things in the future, then it seems a little late to look for it again, so it is better to take advantage of the time when there is no major event to do it.

But where this place came from, Li Yang had to plan carefully.

"Li Yang, come and see", Yang Jin sat on the dam, looked at the computer, and suddenly stretched out his hands and gestured to Li Yang.

"What's the matter?" Li Yang was about to go for a walk and see how to get this place out.

"There is a report here that writes about this place, or is it written by Sishan Daily", Yang Jin said with some excitement.

Li Yang was thinking about things in his head, but when he heard this, he suddenly became interested, Sishan Daily wrote about Phoenix Mountain, how is this possible.
