Chapter 182: Kong Yi's Fear
The next day, Wang Lang arranged seven or eight soldiers to take a dozen men to the jungle to collect rattan, Wang Lang had seen the Romance of the Three Kingdoms before, the rattan armor soldiers of the southwest barbarians, and the rattan armor used was specially treated with tung oil, which can be said to be extremely tough.
Not to mention tung oil at present, not even animal oil, the rattan armor produced by this will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of metal weapons, but fortunately, his opponent is a stone tribe, which can barely offset the defects of this simple rattan armor.
Rattan grows everywhere at the edge of the deep forest, and these low shrubs grow densely in large patches.
In less than half a day, these people collected a large amount of rattan, and at noon, one person returned to the tribe with a large bundle of rattan.
With the materials, Wang Lang began to weave rattan armor, and with the experience of weaving rattan baskets and rattan baskets, making rattan armor became handy.
Wang Lang called some women who had nothing to do, this kind of thing he could only demonstrate once, and large-scale production still needed women to complete.
Wang Langjiang thought about the rattan armor style for a long time, and began to weave according to his own ideas.
At first, Wang Lang was very unskilled in weaving, but slowly with the repetition of the steps, his movements began to become proficient, boring waiting, and repetitive movements, which made the onlookers extremely boring.
In three or four hours, Wang Lang finished weaving part of the rattan armor, and at this time he was already tired and had some backache.
"Do you understand, just weave it like this, and make it the same size as this." Wang Lang said to these women.
After Wang Lang let them try it in turn, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "In the future, I will weave according to this look, first dry these rattans, and then make the rattan armor strong enough." ”
These women are not in the habit of asking questions, men have to do whatever they say, the status of women in this tribe is very low, basically belongs to the appendages of men, after writing down Wang Lang's words, the women hold these rattans and put them in the dry sun to dry.
"Team, what did the leader do when he got these rattans back, don't we have enough baskets and baskets?" A soldier asked Kong Yi.
"It's for rattan armor, you also saw it yesterday, the bark guy is wearing a snakeskin armor to show off everywhere, if I hadn't gone late, how could this kind of good thing get that guy's turn." Kong Yi was still worried about the fact that the bark was ahead of him yesterday and got the snakeskin armor, and said in a somewhat stiff tone.
"Hehe, Team Zheng, you don't have to be too angry about this, didn't the leader say it, those snake skins will be distributed to you leaders." One soldier laughed.
Hearing this, Kong Yi's face looked better, and he said: "If it weren't for that, I would have had to take that guy's snakeskin armor off my body yesterday, what ability does he have to obtain the armor made by the leader himself." ”
"Team Zheng, you dissipate your anger, what's going on with that rattan armor!" A soldier asked.
"It's not for you, we big and small leaders have snakeskin armor, and you soldiers can't be naked, and when the enemy goes down with an axe, won't your intestines come out? So the chief came up with the idea of weaving armor with rattan, and these are for you. Kong Yi explained.
"Can rattan still make nails?" The soldier said in disbelief.
"It's like a rattan basket, it's just a different shape, but this thing can also withstand the attack of the stone axe." Kong Yi said.
A soldier looked at the earthen basket placed aside, scratched his head, and said to Kong Yi: "Team Zheng, can I use an axe to chop this rattan basket?" ”
Kong Yi said indifferently: "There are many of these things in the tribe, if you want to try it, you can try it, but I don't think this thing can stop the copper axe, let alone you, even if it is snakeskin armor, it can't stop the axe." ”
The soldier's immortal spirit found an axe, poured out the soil in the basket, and slashed it with all his might.
"Ka!" With a crisp sound, the rattan was cut off in one fell swoop, and the soldier almost flashed his waist because of the force he used.
Seeing this result, Kong Yi sneered: "Do you think our axe can be compared to those tribes with broken stones, when we and the leader encountered the giant snake in the deep forest before, one axe can cut into the flesh of the giant snake, this kind of copper mixed with tin can be said to be the most powerful weapon in the tribe, if it is not for cutting trees, if this thing is melted and made into a short sword, it is definitely very powerful." ”
The soldiers naturally knew that this bronze axe was more powerful than weapons, but they didn't know that there was such an allusion in it, so they hurriedly surrounded Kong Yi and asked him to tell him what happened.
Kong Yi added fuel to the fire and talked about the distress again, and boasted about his courage in the places where he was involved.
Although the story told by Kong Yi was not perfect, the soldiers still listened to it with relish.
"Team Zheng, it was also a big snake at the beginning, why didn't the nightmare peel off the snake's skin." The soldier asked, confused.
Kong Yi sighed and said: "When the tribe first came here, the food was not enough, how could I be in the mood to think about that, I cut a piece of snake meat and came back, and that time Kong Er's team was also knocked out by the big snake, and I didn't have the heart to get any snake skin, and when we passed there, there was nothing." ”
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately showed a pity expression, if they had the skin of the snake, plus this time, after giving each of the leaders one by one, the rest was likely to be left to their own people, although the probability was very small, but it was better than the current hopelessness.
"Well, if only I had killed a few of these big snakes." Someone said regretfully.
"How can it be so easy to encounter, how many things does such a big snake have to eat to grow so big, we have killed two of them in this vicinity, and it is estimated that it will not be encountered for a long time. Unless... At this point, Kong Yi paused and did not continue.
The soldiers were listening to it, and when they saw that Kong Yi said the key point, they suddenly stopped talking, and hurriedly asked: "Team Zheng, unless there is anything, is there any way to find what kind of big snake?" ”
"You guys, what do you ask, hurry up and work, the sun is about to go down if you don't work." Kong got up together and impatiently blasted the soldiers away.
After going to work with doubts on their faces, Kong suddenly looked at the deep jungle, and couldn't help but shudder, and muttered in a low voice: "How many terrible monsters are there in the Death Forest." ”
