Chapter 55: Making a Bow and Arrow in a Famine
In the afternoon of the next day, Wang Xingjiang and his entourage dug out the main part of the trap area.
The giant deer dug a deep trench with an average depth of five meters and a width of three meters, and formed a circle with a diameter of more than 30 meters around the stump next to the bed. There are four exits in the middle that are about two meters wide enough for giant deer to walk, which is convenient for hunting.
The soil in the ditch was compacted by the giant deer and piled up to form a small high platform, one meter higher than the opposite side, which not only minimized the chance of the hound jumping up, but also allowed the little fire dragon to breathe fire condescendingly.
The outside of the trench was covered with shallow pits of about 20 centimeters, which were enough for the hounds and Wang Xingjiang to chew on the mud. A large number of shallow pits create a tripping zone about five meters wide, which cannot be jumped directly by the hound's ability.
The soil of the shallow pit was piled up to the outermost by the giant deer, forming a ten-centimeter sill, which was better than nothing, acting as an obstacle.
That's right, this time the work was basically done by Julu, and the things that the two of them did together added up to only one-fifth of the total.
Who made the giant deer strong, it didn't take a morning to dig a ditch, and the shallow pit was even more paw-by-claw, which easily exceeded the efficiency of others.
However, the giant deer was very happy, and Aoki Lihua made great affirmation and praise for its hard work, and it immediately became arrogant, and looked at Wang Xingjiang with two words in his eyes - contempt!
Wang Xingjiang felt that it was good to save effort, anyway, Julu's eyes on him were not good, and he didn't expect anything else, but began to learn to get used to enduring this kind of vision - go your own way, let others say go!
Reika Aoki is also happy, although it is a pity that she did not help too much, but it is very good to be able to work with everyone.
The little fire dragon is pure fun, digging and playing, and by the way, you can also try the power of claws and flames, cutting wood every night can no longer satisfy it!
The feeling of scratching the earth is completely different, and the little fire dragon has to adjust the way it uses force, and in the end, it can already dig ten centimeters of holes with its claws at once.
The price is that the little fire dragon is very hungry now, pestering Wang Xingjiang to eat.
After the plan was completed, he returned to the camp and cleaned up his grizzled self, Wang Xingjiang roasted two rabbits, one for the little fire dragon, and the other to celebrate the completion.
Don't worry about not being able to eat, after all, Wang Xingjiang and they are no longer normal people.
In fact, as early as the third day, Wang Xingjiang found the problem, at that time he always felt as if something was missing in his life, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that he didn't seem to have to go to the toilet.
Counting the time in the mysterious space, Wang Xingjiang had only been unable to enter and leave for four days at that time, but he didn't feel anything unusual at all, but because there were many things, this problem was left behind.
It wasn't until Lihua Aoki appeared that Wang Xingjiang remembered this question, and it turned out that the girl didn't have any idea of going to the toilet.
Only then can he be sure that after entering this world, everyone's stomach function has mutated and become the same as the game character. Maybe it's because of the improved digestion, but there is no food residue left anyway.
But that's fine, you don't have to worry about the toilet, and it's friendly to foodies, as long as you are willing to move, you can eat the next one right away.
So in order to be able to eat dinner, Wang Xingjiang decided to work hard and speed up consumption.
Humming and snorting, he cut down a tree, and then cut it into a section of about two meters, and Wang Xingjiang began to study the practice of bowing.
As soon as it came to making a bow, Wang Xingjiang thought of a recipe: Isn't it just three wooden sticks and three parts of spider silk! Simple!
Then he reacted, this is famine, not MC, there is no bow here.
But it doesn't matter, Wang Xingjiang knows the general method of bows and arrows in reality, and Aoki Lihua knows the form of bows and arrows, and the two can try it together.
The first is the selection of materials, because he can't remember which part of the wood he wants, Wang Xingjiang picked a relatively thick branch, thinned the two ends, and used it as a bow handle.
After that, it was a roasting fire, and Wang Xingjiang couldn't remember what the reason was, but there were only a few possibilities, either drying or shaping, and these two words couldn't be separated.
Wang Xingjiang carefully held the wood to avoid catching fire because the temperature was too high.
Then it was a step, nicking and winding, which Wang Xingjiang was familiar with, so he confidently prepared the bowstring.
The bowstring is the same as in the MC, Wang Xingjiang chose to use spider silk to get it, after all, the amount of spider silk is large and strong, and the effect is very good.
Pull out the longer part of the spider silk cut from the ground of the spider's nest, roll it into a thin thread, and finally tie it up.
However, the mother named Failed began to slap his face again, and Wang Xingjiang found that he had no strength at all, and he couldn't bend the wood at all.
As a last resort, Wang Xingjiang had no choice but to ask Julu to help by entrusting Lihua Aoki.
But the strength of the giant deer was too great, and I saw its right hand press down, and the sound of wood breaking was immediately heard, and the whole wooden stick was instantly reduced to nothing, turning into debris.
Wang Xingjiang's whole person is not good, you step on ...... How does it work? Did you say it would be so vigorous?
The giant deer was also a little embarrassed, this time it really didn't want to make trouble, it was just too much. But the loser does not lose the battle, Julu still grinned at Wang Xingjiang for a while, he will never apologize to this guy!
Looking at the giant deer with an unrepentant look, Aoki Lihua was a little angry, "Ah Lu, how can you be like this!" ”
As soon as he heard the girl's words, Julu immediately lowered his eyebrows and looked at Wang Xingjiang with almost flattering eyes.
Wang Xingjiang's hairs stood up at this glance, this expression was too ghostly, and he immediately stopped it, "Lihua, it's okay, I can make another one." ”
"But you've worked so hard for so long!" Lihua Aoki was still unhappy, she didn't want Wang Xingjiang's efforts to be in vain.
"It's fine." Wang Xingjiang said with a smile, "It's just practice, let's try to be the best." ”
The girl nodded, then stepped aside, quietly watching Wang Xingjiang's movements, and slowly learning the skills by the way.
It was already night when I made a bow handle again, but everyone didn't sleep, so they watched Wang Xingjiang work together.
This time, the giant deer did not break the wood, and Wang Xingjiang was able to tie the bowstring smoothly, and in this way, a simple bow was ready.
I tried to pull the string and didn't suddenly loosen it, so it was a success, right?
After the whole bow is formed, there is no decoration at all, nor does it have any peculiar structure, it is just a simple arc, and it feels that the combat effectiveness is not high at a glance.
It's a pity that this can only be done now, handing the bow to Aoki Lihua, Wang Xingjiang asked, "Can this be used?" ”
The girl was also a little distressed, she learned traditional bowery, and she had never seen such a simple bow, which was completely different from the bow and arrow in her impression, so she also didn't know if it was useful.
"I can try." Aoki Lihua, who strictly adhered to the dogma in her heart and didn't want to lie, chose such a compromise method to answer.
"It looks bad." Wang Xingjiang snorted, "But I still have to trouble you to try the effect, and we will slowly change it after trying, failure is the mother of success!" ”
Infected by Wang Xingjiang's optimism, the girl also chuckled and nodded, "Okay! ”
First coaxed Aoki Lihua to sleep, and then hugged the little fire dragon who had slept to death because of boredom and exhaustion to the little stilt bird who had been at home for a day, Wang Xingjiang began to quietly prepare to make arrows.
It stands to reason that arrows are actually simpler, as long as the wood is sharpened, but now that he has ready-made props at hand, Wang Xingjiang wants to strengthen the lethality.
Cut the wood into a rod shape, draw a small groove at the end and put the string, then dig a small pit at the top, clip the end of the dog's tooth into it, and finally tie it with a straw rope, and a dogtooth arrow is ready.
It is easier to use a bee sting as an arrowhead, because the bee sting here is an extension of the bone, and there is a part of the void in it, just sharpen the wood and insert it into it, and then tie it with a rope.
It's easier said than done, just in order to use all the materials, Wang Xingjiang didn't get it until dawn, and he could only make eighteen arrows.
Gather the arrows and put them away, Wang Xingjiang fell asleep, and before going to bed, he was still thinking about borrowing arrows from the grass boat, no wonder the prime minister wanted to borrow arrows, this arrow is really not easy to make!
