213 Horn wood
Zhao Hao was not in a hurry to leave the territory of the Marquis of Western Qin, because Ji Rushuang had spent most of her time at the Nanhua Great Elder in the past few years, and she rarely came back, and their family did not have much time to get together.
It's not easy to come back once, and he naturally wants to let the family get together, after all, Ji Rushuang will definitely have fewer opportunities to come back to see his family in the future than before.
As for the time issue, he was not very worried, according to Ji Rushuang's description, it would only take about twenty days to walk from the territory of the Marquis of Western Qin to Nanhua City, and it would take three or four days at most to ride a horse.
In other words, it doesn't take ten days to go back and forth, and when he goes to Nanhua City to find the Great Elder of Nanhua, he is talking about Ji Rushuang's affairs, no matter what the result is, it won't take long, basically, he will not delay his return trip if he stays here for about half a month.
Therefore, he decided to stay in the territory of the Marquis of Western Qin for about half a month, let Ji Rushuang accompany her parents well, and then go to Nanhua City.
His decision naturally made Ji Rushuang excited, and Ji Qin's father and son were even more excited than Ji Rushuang, because Zhao Hao could bring them a lot of unexpected surprises.
For example, the feeling of riding a horse and riding a horse is really exciting, and their father and son are the kind of people who like to find excitement the most, that guy, as soon as the horse runs, they are so excited that they almost howl.
Zhao Hao also spared no effort to please his father-in-law and eldest brother, and after teaching them to ride horses, he thought of bows and arrows again.
To be honest, it is not surprising that the people of the primitive tribe do not know how to ride horses, after all, it is not so easy to tame wild horses, however, the primitive tribes of the Taihua Continent have developed to this extent, and it is a bit strange that no one has invented bows and arrows or used bows and arrows.
Of course, it was precisely because no one had invented bows and arrows at this time that Zhao Hao would take out the bow and arrows to show off.
This bow and arrow can be said to be more exciting than riding a horse, after all, riding a horse can only save foot strength or experience the feeling of galloping, while archery can harvest prey and destroy enemies from a hundred paces away.
This thing, I believe that Ji Qin's father and son will definitely like it.
Early the next morning, he ordered someone to get his bow and arrows, and then he took Ji Qin's father and son to gallop on horseback, and ran straight to the Qinshan Mountain Range near Xiqin Fort.
Ji Qin's father and son were of course a little curious when they saw that he was carrying a strange thing on his shoulder, but at this time, they had just become addicted to horseback riding, and they didn't have the heart to think about anything else, so Zhao Hao didn't say it, they didn't ask, and the three of them just rode their horses and galloped wildly, rushing all the way to the dense forest at the foot of Qin Mountain.
At this time, there happened to be a stag frightened by the sound of horses' hooves, and quickly rushed into the dense forest, Zhao Hao raised his hand to take out a longbow like lightning, and at the same time drew an iron arrow, and then bent the bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at the stag.
"Chirp", before Ji Qin's father and son understood what was going on, the stag more than a hundred steps away was pierced through the neck by an iron arrow and nailed to the ground.
What's going on?
The two fathers and sons looked at the stag twitching there in the distance in a daze, and then looked at the longbow in Zhao Hao's hand, almost petrified instantly.
Zhao Hao introduced quite proudly: "This is called a bow, the one that has just been shot is called an arrow, the bow is paired with an arrow, and it can shoot prey or enemies at a distance of 100 steps." ”
Is it so powerful?
Ji Qin couldn't help but raise his hand and said, "Show me." ”
When Zhao Hao heard this, he directly handed him the longbow in his hand, took out an iron arrow, and stuffed it into his hand.
Ji Qin looked at the longbow curiously, then at the iron arrow, and then followed Zhao Hao's example just now, put the iron arrow on the bowstring, and pulled it hard.
This bow, Zhao Hao is effortless to use, but he wants to pull it full, but it is very difficult.
With great difficulty, he drew his bow to the fullest, but he held it still.
Because, Zhao Hao's movements were too fast, he just saw the movement of bending the bow and arrows in front of him, but he didn't pay attention to how the arrows were shot.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao hurriedly taught: "The left hand clenched the bow body hard, and then directly let go of the right hand." ”
When Ji Qin heard this, his left hand tightened subconsciously, and then he loosened his right hand slightly awkwardly.
With a "chirp", the iron arrow was shot.
However, he didn't aim at any target, so the iron arrow flew directly into the dense forest, and the iron arrow lost its inertia and nailed to the trunk of the big tree at the last moment after several big trees were pierced.
This power is terrifying, isn't it?
Ji Qin looked at the longbow in his hand blankly, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
He was stunned for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand again and said, "Try another arrow, I didn't pay attention to it just now, and it was shot out at once." ”
Well, this father-in-law really liked bows and arrows.
Zhao Hao did not hesitate to pull out another iron arrow and stuff it in his hand.
At the beginning of this kind of iron arrow, Zhao Hao only prepared ten, but later, as he hunted more and more frequently, more and more iron arrows were prepared.
At this time, the Garuda camp has a blacksmith who specially made iron arrows for him, this kind of iron arrows, not to mention too much, he still has hundreds, this time he brought a hundred, and it is nothing to waste a few.
Ji Qin is indeed a little addicted, he really wants to follow Zhao Hao's example, aim at a target and shoot it, and see if the shot hits.
Unfortunately, the second arrow was fired, and he didn't hit the target at all.
He was about to stretch out his hand and continue to ask Zhao Hao for the iron arrow, but Ji Cheng couldn't help but pull the reins, leaned over, stretched out his hand, and said with a blank eye: "Dad, play with me." ”
You!
I haven't had enough of it!
Ji Qin couldn't help but roll his eyes, but he still stuffed the longbow into Ji Cheng's hand.
Ji Cheng was so excited, he took the longbow and looked left and right, looking at it like a treasure for a while, and then he stretched out his hand to Zhao Hao and said, "Give me an arrow to try." ”
Zhao Hao still didn't hesitate to pull out an iron arrow and stuff it in his hand.
He couldn't wait to put the arrow on the bowstring and pull it up.
His strength seems to be a little worse than that of Ji Qin, and when he draws the bow, it is called a struggle.
However, in the end, he still shot the iron arrow with a "chirp".
The power of the iron arrow stunned him, and as for the accuracy, it was naturally not accurate.
He was in a daze, but Ji Qin couldn't help but ask, "Is this bow and arrow also given to us?" How many have you prepared? ”
fainted, Zhao Hao is so embarrassed.
Where did he prepare a few longbows of such great power, and he made one.
As for giving it to this father-in-law, it's nothing, it's a big deal for him to go back and make another handful.
However, this kind of powerful longbow is obviously not suitable for Ji Qin's father and son, they have a hard time pulling the bow full, how can they aim at the prey.
He thought for a while, and then said embarrassedly: "This bow is specially made by me for my own use, and if you use it, it may be a little inappropriate, because you are too hard to draw the bow and cannot guarantee the accuracy." Why don't I make you two suitable ones? ”
This, indeed, Ji Qin also saw it, Zhao Hao barely had any effort when he pulled the bow and shot the arrow, but it was very difficult for him to pull it up, in this case, he really couldn't aim at the target steadily.
He looked at the longbow in Ji Cheng's hand with regret, and then asked with some eagerness: "How long does it take you to make two bows?" ”
Zhao Hao estimated: "If there are suitable materials, they should be ready in two or three days." ”
Ji Qin immediately asked, "Materials? What material? ”
Zhao Hao explained: "The material of the bowstring and the bow body, if the bowstring is used, you use the cowhide rope is almost the same, I have a ready-made one, that is, the material of the bow body has to be found, is there a Zhemu nearby?" ”
Zhemu?
Ji Qin shook his head and said, "There doesn't seem to be a Zhemu here in Qinshan, can it be replaced by something else?" ”
They are not a wild jungle here, and there are trees everywhere.
When Zhao Hao heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said: "If there is no Zhemu, it will be more troublesome, is there a tree in this Qinshan that is as hard as Zhemu?" Or, it's harder than Zhemu. ”
Ji Qin said without hesitation: "Yes, the sheep's horn wood is notoriously hard, and if that thing is as thick as this longbow, I can't bend it." ”
Horn wood?
What the hell!
Now, it was Zhao Hao's turn to be confused, because he had never heard of any horn wood at all.
