Black Bear Ditch, located in Niujia Village Houcang Mountain deep in a secluded forest valley, the trees are luxuriant, flowers and yams are all over the place, all kinds of large beasts often haunt, according to the old hunters in the village, there are not only roe deer and wild goats appear, but also often wolves infested, what makes people more discolored is that in the black bear ditch, it is said that there is also a huge black bear, the black bear has rough skin and thick meat, fierce, even the spear and sharp arrows are difficult to hurt it in the slightest, the general hunter will take a detour when he sees the black bear ditch, so, the old hunters in the village often remind those young hunters, let them not go to the black bear ditch, that place is too dangerous。

Under the leadership of the big tiger, the three of them walked over the mountains and mountains for a long time, and finally came to the entrance of the black bear ditch at noon.

Ye Zheng also took out his pistol at this time, loaded it, and quietly followed behind the big tiger and the little tiger, but his eyes looked around to see if he could find anything, so that he could take out the pistol on the spot to deter the two brothers.

To say that this black bear ditch is indeed different from the mountains and forests in other places, the huge trees in the valley here are towering, the flowers and plants are dense, and from a distance, you can hear all kinds of bird calls and beast roars in the valley, giving them a feeling of expectation and apprehension.

After walking in the woods for a long time, suddenly, a bush more than ten meters away in front of him, "whoosh" shook for a while, it seemed that there was prey hidden in it, and looking at the movement, it seemed that the volume of the prey was quite large, and the big tiger and the little tiger were excited, and they set up bows and arrows, aimed at the grass, and pressed forward step by step.

The prey in the grass seemed to notice the arrival of Ye Zheng and others, only to hear a "whoosh", a yellow shadow rushed out of it, and several people looked at it, it was actually a roe deer as fat as a dog, and suddenly, Xiaohu whispered excitedly: "Do it!"

As soon as the voice fell, the little tiger and the big tiger opened the bow together, and after two "sighs", two feathered arrows shot towards the roe deer in the rush like lightning, but unfortunately, the roe deer fled too fast, and the arrows shot into the air one after another, and fell in the grass behind the roe deer. The big tiger and the little tiger were unwilling to shoot a few more arrows, but without exception they were all a little bit worse, and the little tiger who missed in a row couldn't help but scold in the air, and then shot an arrow with a full bow, this arrow finally hit the hind legs of the roe deer, but I don't know if it was too far away, the reason for the lack of strength, the roe deer just shook its body, and then fled faster, and disappeared into the woods in the blink of an eye.

All this just now, because it came too fast, the fast Ye Zheng couldn't react, originally he wanted to shoot, because the big tiger and the little tiger were in the way, he didn't even have a chance to shoot, and the depressed Ye Zheng suddenly wanted to scold, what kind of garbage archery, at the level of your two brothers, you still ran out to hunt, obviously you shot the prey, the prey ran away as if it was nothing, it was really rubbish, Ye Zheng scolded in his heart.

Looking at the frustrated faces of the two brothers, Ye Zheng suddenly felt that the image of the two of them as hunters had plummeted in his heart. "What are you doing? Didn't you shoot it just now? Why did the prey run away like nothing?"

After speaking, Ye Zheng also came to Xiaohu's side, took out an arrow from him and looked at it, and was stunned. "Hey, what kind of arrow is this, why doesn't it seem to be an iron arrow? How can this kind of arrow be lethal to its prey?"

It turned out that the arrows of the big tiger and the little tiger were all black and hard wooden arrowheads, no wonder the roe deer could run so fast after being hit by the arrow.

Seeing Ye Zheng holding the arrow, the big tiger and the little tiger had a puzzled expression, and immediately sighed: "Brother Ye, do you really don't know or don't know?" Today, the imperial court has extremely strict control over steel and metal, except for the people in the official yamen, ordinary people are not allowed to wear blades and privately possess military armor, like those steel arrows you said, except for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court can be equipped, where do we have them, even if we really have steel arrows, once they are reported, it is a capital crime of rebellion and rebellion. ”

Listening to their explanation, Ye Zheng was taken aback, he didn't expect that this world's metal control over civilians would reach such an outrageous level.

In fact, this can't be blamed on Ye Zheng's ignorance, in the era of cold weapons, the ruler was quite strict with the control of steel armor, when the Great Lie Dynasty in order to prevent the Han slaves from rebelling, so the court recycled all the iron tools in the homes of the slaves in the world. During the spring ploughing period of the slaves, the local government would send a guard to distribute it in the morning, and when the ploughing was completed in the evening, it would be registered and collected. If there is any omission and loss, the door will be stolen. What's even more outrageous is that a kitchen knife must be used by ten families in turn, and on the day of the autumn harvest, the imperial court will send officials from all walks of life to collect grain tax, and the slaves pay the grain tax, and the rest is enough to feed and clothe the whole family, and there is no food at all. All this was done by the imperial court to prevent the slaves from rioting and rebelling.

After understanding all this, Ye Zheng sighed helplessly, secretly sighing that the darkness and unreasonableness of the feudal dynasty. Originally, he had always wondered why the big tiger and the little tiger brothers said that it was a great thing for the sharpshooters in their village to shoot and kill their prey from a distance of thirty paces, but now it seems that under the conditions of the lack of iron weapons at that time, it was indeed a great thing.

Touching the wooden arrowhead in his hand, Ye Zheng asked them why they didn't choose other materials to make the arrowheads, but chose this black wood to make them. Dahu said that other materials like stone are too hard, and it is not easy to polish, and it is very easy to break, so the ancestors chose to use black iron pear wood to make arrows after finding many ways. The reason why it was chosen is because the wood of black iron pear wood is hard, and the density is high, and it does not swell when it is touched with tung oil, and it is much easier to polish, so everyone likes to use it to make arrowheads and spears.

After hearing this, Ye Zheng had a deeper understanding of this world, and at the same time, he added a lot of confidence to his idea of dominating the other world in the future. Damn, what kind of bullshit is the rule of the Great Fierce Dynasty over the people, it can be described as brutal and cruel, but the more this is the case, the more beneficial it is to yourself, didn't it be said in the history books of the previous life, the more the tyranny of the court oppresses the common people, the greater the rebellion of the people, and the oppression reaches a certain level, and sooner or later there will be an outbreak.

Because where there is oppression, there is resistance, which is an immutable law.
