Chapter Eighty-Eight: Selecting Archers
For a while, only the sound of chewing meat was left in the field, but they sat on the futon and ate meat, this style of painting is not right!
The appearance of the futon was completely accidental, Su Yang obviously wanted to weave an arrow target, who knew that there were many failures during the period, and these failed products were changed into futons and given to the elders, which were filled with cut reeds, which were not only comfortable to sit on, but also very warm, so they were very popular and became the standard for the elders.
It's been a week since they returned from the Rebellion, and it should have snowed in the past few days, but Matsu says that the first snow this year will be later than usual.
"The rocks are with the Chaos, and the Celestial Wolves are with the Mang."
The old man's words set the scale of tomorrow's hunt, and the combination of two and two, so the scope of the battle line would not be too large.
Su Yang came out of the wooden house, wiped the greasy corners of his mouth without a trace, and shook the leopard skin he was wearing, the cold wind was no threat to him, but the activity was not very convenient.
"Prabhu, tell the people to gather over there, and the archers will be selected later."
Although he masturbated every day this week, he also did a lot of practical things, and the wooden house was not needed, which belonged to the face-saving process. But the arrow target standing in front of him was an epoch-making product, and he also made a few bows that were quite satisfactory, so it was necessary to select some archers.
As for why he is so high-profile, it is because he himself has a talent for shooting, and after secretly practicing it, he feels that he can achieve a hammer crushing, so he should show it off and let the clansmen see his peerless talent, the dragon and phoenix among the people.
In fact, he wanted to complete the ritual of bending the bow and shooting the eagle, so it was necessary to practice the bow and arrow.
I ran back to the cave with a smoke, only to see seven bows placed on the stone platform, four D-shaped, three M-shaped, the former one is less powerful, and the arrows shot are not accurate, but the production is simple. The latter is powerful, has a high head, and is troublesome to make.
The bowstrings are made of hemp rope, which is much better than the bark rope, and hemp is also the stem bark of plants, which is the same type of material. At the same time, he is already trying to make a bowstring from animal skin, but he has not succeeded for the time being, and he will try to use animal tendons later, but it should be time-consuming and labor-intensive, so he will make do with it first and practice the quasi-head.
The appearance of the M bow was also an accident, because the tribe had to reserve clay, in order to facilitate transportation, so Su Yang asked Bi Bo to take some clansmen to make a dustpan, which was the kind of opening, shaped like a back basket cut in half along the diameter of the bottom, it became two dustpans, and then a bamboo circle was put on the middle part.
This kind of open dustpan can be used to lift things, and the production is very simple, and one person can make seven or eight in a day.
In terms of the structure of the human body, it is better to carry things than to carry them, and it is better to carry them than to pick up things. If you can lift twenty pounds, you can carry fifty pounds on your back; If you can carry fifty pounds, you can pick a hundred pounds.
Then Su Yang began to build a flat pole, which is simply a long wooden stick, but the round one is not laborious, and the shoulders can't stand it. So it has to be flattened, which has to be slowly sharpened, and it needs a little curved arc, when picking up something, there will be a little natural sag at both ends, and people will have a little elasticity when they are walking, and it will be much easier to pick it up naturally.
At that time, he found ten people to polish the flat poles, but when he took a nap, no, it should be after he finished thinking about the development plan of the tribe, he found that five flat poles had failed to polish, which was also normal, and there was no template to refer to before.
But what he never expected was that one of the failed flat poles could be bent very badly, thicker in the middle and at both ends, and the left and right sides were sharpened thinner, and as a result, after picking up things, it was naturally bent into the shape of a bow and arrow.
In this way, Su Yang inexplicably found a way to make M-shaped bows and arrows, and the clansman who failed to polish the flat shoulder and should have been despised became a master bow-making master, and his salary was immediately improved, and he could mix well with only full-time polishing of bows and arrows in the future.
This clansman's name is "Yezi", and as his name suggests, the more fierce the wind, the more my heart is swinging...... Blow, blow, I am not afraid of my bare feet, blow, blow, let the wind blow, let it be messy, I will become a giant, step on the strength, step on the dream.
The time was in a hurry, and Noko only had time to polish three longbows that satisfied him, and he took the time to get four short bows himself, and as for the arrows, let the five who successfully polish the flat pole solve them.
Su Yang chose two kinds of arrows, one is pure wood, straight and round, and the arrows are roasted with fire and polished into the shape of a pencil head; The other is bamboo, a wild bamboo that can only grow to the size of a little finger to a thumb, and a polished stone bone arrow is inserted at one end, which is sharpened on both sides and is more powerful than the tip of a pencil.
The tail feathers of the two arrows are made from bird feathers, which were picked up in the jungle and used as decorations for a long time, but now they come in handy, and the balance is not bad. I can't help it, I can't find Eagle Feather or something right away.
"Sue, can we start?" Haru ran in and asked.
"Well, get the bow and arrows out."
Su Yang took a small M bow by himself, this is a private order, tailor-made for him, he has already shot hundreds of rounds, he is familiar with the venue in advance, and it is not cheating.
When he went out, the elders also came out of the wooden house, and the clansmen gathered in the open space where they usually worshipped, and had already set up three arrow targets in front of them, the size of a basin, and the calculated shooting distance was twenty paces, and the left and right legs were counted as one step at a time, and the height of the Prabhu was calculated about thirty meters away to test the shot, which was far enough.
Almost everyone arrived, and he only took out the "eye chart" made in advance at this time, although the archer relied on the feel, but if the eyesight is not good, it is also for nothing, now there is no such thing as glasses, even if the glass is burned, he can't make glasses, so he must eliminate the poor eyesight first.
After hanging up the eye chart, Su Yang shouted: "As long as the festival is full, both men and women can participate in the assessment." Now ask the children under the age of 10 to go over there. ”
Soon, dozens of children were isolated, too small to have enough arm strength, even if any of them were talented, wait a while to cultivate!
Of course, it may also be that Su Yang wants to be invincible under the age of ten, and the rest of the children have no chance to shoot arrows with bows, of course he beats his peers, and the master is as lonely as snow.
Then he took out a super-large bamboo "E" and explained it to the tribesmen, up and down, left and right, and then he came to point to the E symbol on the eye chart, and the test person answered the direction of the opening. As for cheating, he hopes that someone can succeed in cheating in a short period of time, at least to prove that person has a flexible mind.
"I'll do it first!" Matsu stood up and was very cheering.
Su Yang naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked over from the eye chart, estimated that it was about ten meters, and pulled a rattan here, and the person who tested it stood here to confirm his eyesight. Originally, according to the standard, it was five meters, but his eyesight chart was rough, and he used bamboo pieces blackened by smoke. Because beyond this distance, he can't see the bottom row clearly, hoping that he won't be overtaken.
"Matsu, which way is this facing?" Su Yang pointed to a big symbol at the top, which was divided into ten rows in total.
"Heavenly." Matsu pointed to the sky without any pressure.
"What about this?"
"On the ground." Got it right again.
"What about this one?"
"Left." That's right, the answer is without thinking, and it's definitely not right.
Su Yang's forehead was sweating, just now he said that he wanted to transcend, but he didn't think that Matsu was already in his forties, an old man who belonged to the primitive period, and he didn't have old eyes and faint eyes, so he directly recognized the penultimate row, which was on par with his eyesight.
"Matsu, can you see this clearly?" He shuddered and pointed to one of the symbols in the bottom row.
The old man stared at it for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "I can't see it." ”
"Whew!" Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief and temporarily retained the joint first position. If he was surpassed, he would have to cheat to save face, who made him already memorize the symbol orientation of the bottom row, and he was already invincible before he started the test.
He gave Matsu a thumbs up, and instead shouted, "Who's next?" Hurry up, there's a test ahead! ”
