Outside, a light rain began to fall, and it continued continuously. The rain ticks on the leaves of the saxifrage, and after a while the rain droplets down from the eaves, and flows down the drains around the shed into a small stream, which flows from both sides and flows down the slope with other rainwater, not flowing into the small space of the shed, keeping it dry on a rainy day.

In the hut, the warmth was rising, and the two hanging pots were set up on the campfire, the water was boiling and steaming, and half a pheasant was boiling in it, the last of the two pheasants caught two days before. The rich smell of chicken soup spreads out in this ten-square-meter space, mixed with a little bit of Chinese medicine, which is the smell of calamus. The chicken soup in the hanging pot kept tumbling, turning the sinking shiitake mushrooms up again, and suddenly a fresh smell of shiitake mushrooms came to the face, with a hint of forest breath, lingering in the nose.

This made Luo Fat, who was sitting around the bonfire weaving bamboo baskets, roll in his throat, and his saliva almost flowed out, his mind was not on the bamboo basket, and he looked up at the pot after a while, and he was really hungry by the taste of this pheasant stewed mushroom.

At this moment, it was getting late, and the light from the campfire illuminated the space of the shack and extended out, but it did not travel far before it was swallowed up by the darkness, and was confined to the entire camp. Several nocturnal animals came to the side of the camp, not daring to approach, but only glanced at it from a distance before making a detour into the surrounding forest.

Xu Qiang is repairing his second longbow. With the experience of making the first bow, the process of making the second bow is much smoother, and it will have its current appearance in more than an hour, and you only need to deal with some of the imperfections above, and then you can insert it into the sand again and polish it smoothly for the final step of taming.

Grunting, a protest sound came out of the fat man's stomach.

"Well, I'm hungry so soon, but I ate a lot at noon today!"

Luo Fatzi touched his stomach and kept muttering, which made Xu Qiang smile, put the bow aside, stood up and stretched, and moved his somewhat sorely swollen limbs, and his body felt better. I looked up at this fairly solid shack, and my heart was satisfied, this is a home!

The shack was so spacious that you wouldn't even touch your head when you stood up, and the two tents and a pile of firewood were piled up in the corner, and they weren't too crowded. But the evening breeze that blew in ruffled his hair, but it made him a little dissatisfied, the shack lacked four walls, and there was a door. Of course, this is only a stopgap measure for the time being, and it is necessary to build a wooden house, and if it is winter, it may even be necessary to spend the winter in a cave.

You have to clean up the cave in advance, alas, there are so many things to deal with another day, there are many things to do now, and the most urgent and important things need to be done first, and then other things. I can only silently admit that I am a little lazy, and there is a little sense of urgency, the prey that disappeared in the trap today makes him a little anxious, and he feels that something is going to happen, this is the second time, I don't know if there will be a third time, or there will be no next time.

Shaking his head, he threw out all the thoughts in his mind and turned his attention to the two pots of pheasant stewed mushrooms in front of him.

"Come, fatty, let's eat together, I'm hungry too, I haven't moved much today, and the digestion is faster than the previous two days, isn't it that the two of us eat less hard vegetables, do you want to roast a wolf's front leg again?"

"Haha, that's a good dare, but forget it, let's eat less at night, otherwise we don't know what time it will be late when the wolf meat is roasted, we have to hurry up to finish the work at hand, the things in this pot are enough to fill the stomach at night." The fat man hesitated, but still pressed the idea of eating more, and prepared to finish eating earlier and continue the work at hand.

Drinking a thick bowl of chicken soup, Xu Qiang and the two felt extremely comfortable, standing side by side under the eaves, looking at the dark night sky outside, listening to the sound of raindrops hitting various objects, it was quiet, the whole valley was in the silent rainy night, as if all the animals were dormant, not wanting to break the tranquility of the rainy night.

"Brother Qiang, this will be our home from now on."

"Yes, so we have to take good care of this home, and we have to run it in a decent and safe way. I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen, and in order to be sure, we have to hurry up and prepare some weapons, we have knives and axes, and then make some spears and arrows, and then practice archery, and we have to learn to attack from near and far. And also... ”

"Wow~~"

Suddenly, a wolf howl came from the mountains behind him and echoed through the valley. A wolf howl could be heard in the distance in the forest to the right, as if echoing it, but then the wolf howl ceased to sound, as if it had never appeared. In an instant, the two felt that the rainy night around them became more and more silent, and the silence was a little suffocating.

Suddenly, another beast howl sounded, not like the wolf howl just now, like a tiger roaring and like a bear roar, faintly feeling that the momentum was even stronger, and there was a little anger in it. After the first sound, there was no second, and it suddenly disappeared into the night sky.

The two listened carefully again, and no other sound came, and they glanced at each other, and the two of them turned back and sat down by the campfire, and continued the work at hand, but it seemed to be faster, and there seemed to be some urgency in it.

After Xu Qiang intercepted another section of umbrella rope to make a bowstring, there was a long exhalation sound from Luo Fatzi's side, and he turned his head to see that he had finished the work at hand. Two bamboo baskets about one and a half meters high leaned against the side of the firewood pile, and the bamboo dustpan was placed on the firewood pile, filled with mushrooms and fungus picked this morning.

The two were still not sleepy, and after exchanging their ideas, Xu Qiang and Luo Fatzi decided to use bamboo to make arrows, so that they could quickly make a batch of arrows in a short time.

As soon as he said that, Xu Qiang continued to hang the second longbow on another bracket and tamed the bow, and checked the condition of the first bow, adjusting the thickness of the bow arm to ensure that the force on both sides was consistent and that the bow arm should be bent into an arc.

Luo Fatzi sawed the remaining bamboo into 90 cm long bamboo tubes, and then cut each bamboo tube into more than a dozen bamboo strips of consistent width and width. Weaving bamboo is his specialty, and cutting it into simple strips is no problem for him. After cutting into bamboo strips, I pick up the bamboo strips around me* and scrape them, removing the bamboo knots and scraping it into a round, smooth and burr-free shape.

Xu Qiang also joined the ranks of scraping bamboo strips after finishing the work of taming the bow, and the two were busy until half past one in the morning, unknowingly completing the preliminary production of more than 180 bamboo arrows. After the preliminary processing of the bamboo arrow is 90 centimeters long, one centimeter in diameter, the weight is between the flying arrow and the heavy arrow, according to Xu Qiang's meaning tomorrow morning to go to the forest to cut some birch wood back, make some heavy arrows to prepare, and the so-called flying arrow is made of lighter weight wood. After doing these things, the next thing to do is to dip the tail feathers of the bamboo arrows, sharpen the arrows, and practice archery, of which practicing archery is particularly important.
