Any mistake may cause irreparable damage to oneself, and the error should be controlled to the lowest possible extent. The main purpose of bow taming is to check whether the elasticity of each section of the bow is uniform through bending adjustment, so as to reduce the possibility of fracture of the bow body due to uneven force. Because it is difficult to be completely uniform with naturally grown wood, there may be some places that are harder, some places are softer, and the strength may not be the same just because the shape is uniform. Therefore, it is necessary to correct it through observation, and slightly thin the hardness of the place, so that the surface is smooth, the ends are symmetrical, the thickness is consistent, and the force is uniform.

After making the bow tamer, Ding Qi knotted one end of the bowstring he had made the night before and hung it on the notch at one end of the bow arm, then snapped the bow between the two calves from behind his body, and slowly bent the other end from behind him to the front of him, and quickly tied the other end of the bowstring to the bow.

The degree of bending of the bow is based on the distance between the bowstring and the back of the bow reaching a fist height, and too long a distance will bring a very great burden to the bow body and the bowstring, as well as to the archer himself; The distance is short but cannot reach enough elastic power, so the arrow is not far.

Ding Qi adjusted back and forth several times before he had just grasped the strength and know-how, and fixed the position of the bowstring knotting to avoid the bowstring slipping during use. If there is a sudden slippage of the bowstring in the middle of a battle, it must be a terrible thing, just like using an automatic rifle to strafe and only one bullet can kill the opponent, but the rifle suddenly jams, then the gunner is likely to be greeted by the opponent's turnover.

After the winding, Ding Qi tried to pull lightly a few times, and the strength was okay. Then he put the back of the bow on the bow taming frame, gently pulled the string and hung it on the first slot, and began the process of taming the bow.

The matter of the bow was over for the time being, and Ding Qi was ready to move, so he got dressed and took his weapon and walked to the place where he had set the trap yesterday, to see if there was any gain, and then he came back with a few logs.

As he walked, Ding Qi slapped the grass and bushes in front of him with the wooden spear in his hand, hoping to drive away the poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders and other small animals that might endanger his safety. Yesterday, when he was cutting down a tree, he found a snake lying on a broken log, and if it weren't for his sharp eyes, he almost sat on it, and he couldn't tell if it was poisonous. But Ding Qi was still far away from picking the snake away, in this era there was no antivenom, and if you were bitten, you could only pray.

One spin and three of the five traps triggered, catching a squirrel, and a grouse. Someone asked Ding Qi how he knew it was grouse? For Ding Qi, who likes to watch "Animal World" as a child, his ability to distinguish various animals is unmatched in a large group of friends.

The third trigger caught a rabbit, a rabbit's paw hanging in the air and fluttering in the wind, to be exact. The rabbit had been eaten by an unknown animal, and there were scattered rabbit furs, broken bones, and a rabbit head on the ground, and its unblinded eyes seemed to tell Tinkey what it had been through that surprised and painful. Hung by something unknown, struggling, helpless, hopeful, and finally desperate, being eaten alive by a predator, this is the darkest process it has ever experienced in its short rabbit life, and then it comes to an abrupt end.

Ding Qi saw this rabbit mind to make up for the scene at that time, but it did not arouse any pity from him, this is the survival law of the jungle in the primitive era, if you can't adapt to this law, it will eventually be eliminated, whether it is animals or humans, or plants all over the mountains.

The third trap was changed to another place, the other traps were restored to their original state, and Dingch harvested early and returned to the place where the logging was felled. But he was more cautious on the way, and the vanished rabbit gave him enough alarm that there was a carnivore roaming around.

Arriving at the logging site, Ding Qi also checked the surrounding situation, and found that there were two bubbles of animal feces, and he couldn't tell what animal it was, but one of the piles contained animal hair, not rabbit hair, indicating that the owner of the soaked feces and the guy who ate rabbits were not the same.

I looked at the mechanical watch on my wrist, it was already 11 o'clock in the morning, the lumber yard was not far from my camp, about one hundred and fifty meters away, and it was about a three-minute walk, and I should be able to resist a lot before 12 noon.

"Hey!"

Ding Qi picked up a thick log, exhaled a cloudy breath, and slowly walked in the direction of the camp, the snorting pant increasing from light to heavy as the distance approached. After carrying it back and forth more than a dozen times, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he was sweaty, which made Ding Qi inevitably stumble a little when he walked. The body is tired, you need to rest and replenish water and energy, insist on eating and resting when you return to the camp, and you can't be too tired to cause physical load, otherwise something will go wrong.

Bang bang

Throwing the wood to the ground, Ding Qi sat on the wood and rested for a while, then changed clothes, set up a pot to cook, and by the way, he took the little cutie out and teased it for a while, the little guy gained a lot of weight, and his eyes were about to open, very sticky to himself, and every time he picked it up, it would drill into his arms.

"Little cutie, open your eyes quickly, let me see what you will look like then, you won't disown me, right? Well? ”

I heard that animals that have just been born for a long time will take the first animal or person they see when they open their eyes as their mother, but I wonder if the cutie will also think of herself as a mother at that time? The complacent Ding Qi kept teasing the cutie, talking to himself and thinking nonsense there.

After lunch, Ding Qi, who fed himself and the little cute, rested for half an hour, went to the creek to pick back some calamus, this thing Ding Qi saw back and forth many times, if it wasn't for today's anti-wood shoulder pain, he couldn't remember the medicinal value of calamus.

Calamus has an aromatic smell, can dispel filth and turbidity, can repel mosquitoes, can also calm the mind and calm the nerves, relieve the feeling of double fatigue of the body and heart, but the whole plant is poisonous, can be eaten in small amounts. In addition, I was really tired this morning, and it was an unexpected surprise to encounter it. Ding Qi's hometown has the custom of inserting calamus leaves and wormwood bundles under the eaves during the Dragon Boat Festival, which can drive away evil spirits and prevent epidemics, so the appearance and efficacy of calamus are really familiar.

Wash the calamus and put it in the hanging pot, pour water, put it on the side of the campfire and slowly boil, then pick up the mountain knife and go to the lumber yard to continue his house-building business.

After the last piece of wood was brought back to the camp, it was six o'clock in the evening. Ding Qi drank a few sips of warm calamus water in Zhonggeri, took off his soaked clothes after relieving himself, and checked the wound on his left shoulder by the way, probably because of his youth, Ding Qi always felt that the wound recovered a little fast, which was not the same as the situation when he was injured and recovered when he was a soldier in the reconnaissance brigade before. No matter, it's a good thing anyway, Ding Qi started cooking shirtless.

In order to celebrate, and to treat himself, Ding Qi put the other half of the pheasant into the hanging pot with shiitake mushrooms, fungus, and calamus, and even put some extra salt to supplement the body's needs. Then he ran to the creek, skinned and gutted the squirrel, and set it up on the fire for barbecue.

The cutie still has food today, and she can feed it just by heating it up. But Ding Qi himself almost swallowed his tongue, a pot of iris mushroom chicken soup, half a chicken, and a squirrel into his stomach, which made him feel unfinished, and sighed that this kind of life is so beautiful!
