Chapter Eighty-Five: A Different Green Horn Under the Bay

"It can't be!"

"Oh my God!"

Including those children, everyone looked at the arrow shaft first, and then stared fiercely at the pole sharpener in Shen Yan's hand with the most eager gaze! Especially the two half-elven marksmen, their eyes are already turning green like hungry wolves!

"Can I touch it?" Garland, one of the half-elf marksmen, was the first to ask.

"Give." Shen Yan knew that what he wanted was an arrow shaft.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's so smooth! Garland's expression when she touched the shaft of the arrow was a bit obscene, which led to infinite reverie.

We all know that this is the era of cold weapons, and the importance of arrows can be used not only for long-range killing, but also for harassment and containment, no matter how high.

You see that the arrows in Green Horn Bay are only half used up, and Milton is so mad that he forbids the patrols to use bows and arrows! Why? It's not because the position of arrows is too important, it's quick to use, but it's particularly difficult to replenish. Arrows are the most suitable products for standardization and assembly line operations in ancient times, but it is a pity that countless times in ancient times passed by the industrial sprouts.

Speaking of the shaft of the arrow, usually the wooden shaft can only be sharpened by hand with a knife (the curved blade is still a secret technique on the peninsula). The shaft of the arrow belongs to the important and not important part of the arrow, and if it is not done well, it will affect the accuracy of the arrow, and no one will add money to buy it if it is done well. Therefore, this part of the work is usually done by apprentices in the workshop, and the quality is naturally rough enough...... Even apprentices can only make shafts that are cut along the grain of the wood.

Therefore, when the arrow reaches the hands of the archer, it is usually finished again. Elves, in particular, can barely stand the arrows made by others. Those knife cutting marks will always be the same under the touch of the elves...... Bumpy and uneven! So if you have an elven archer as a teammate, you'll find that whenever the team is idle, he's always picking up a knife and smashing the shaft, either sharpening the shaft or trimming the feathers, never stopping.

The elven proverb that says, "Only the arrow that is shot is the one that satisfies a man," says about this.

For almost every arrow, the shooter wastes a lot of time on it. The tool just shown by Shen Yan provides symmetrical cutting and symmetrical grinding, which solves the problem of ensuring the balance of the arrow shaft at once! How could you not get them excited! Especially children can do this, without taking up a lot of livestock...... Labor, which means that there is finally hope for the arrow reserves in Green Horn Bay!

"Can I have one of those cutters?" Omar asked.

He remembered his days wandering alone in the wilderness, with arrows and everything he could use on his fingers (and he only had eight fingers), and you never knew when you would get supplies. Metal arrows can usually be reused two or three times, but shafts can only be used once. So if you have a tool like the shaft cutter – it doesn't look big or heavy – it's great to be able to replenish your arrows anytime and anywhere in the field!

Other people's relationships are not in place, only Omar can open this mouth casually - he and Shen Yan owe each other too many favors to count, even if the two of them go to get married now, everyone will not be surprised.

Everyone looked at Shen Yan hotly, "You should hurry up!" ”

"Ahem, don't look at me like that, there's only one set of cutters." Shen Yan's words dashed the hopes of countless people, and he knew that his words changed, "But as long as there is good steel, I can help you make a few more." ”

Look, how nice and reasonable I am.

- What if you want to smoke him?

"You're such a nice guy!" A room full of people gritted their teeth.

Gift-giving becomes a feud...... The reason why Shen Yan can still be mixed in the civil service may be because he has never given gifts to the leader.

Some time ago, the village found a lot of scrap metal from the ruins around the city, and the anxious people already wanted to go to the garbage dump. "Hey, I can tell you all about it!" Shen Yan cleared his throat and shouted to stop those people, "If you want a pole sharpener, you can, but you have to help the village process 300 qualified arrow shafts this winter, can this thing really belong to the person, is it all white?" ”

"Understood!" The crowd agreed.

Everyone was happy for a while, only Omar thought of something and quietly glanced at Shen Yan.

"One-third of the arrow shaft belongs to me, okay?" Shen Yan turned his head and whispered to Milton.

"Huh?!" Milton, who had just been refreshed by the replenishment of the arrows, felt a basin of cold water pour on his head. The big bald head felt very aggrieved, but he thought about it as if these were indeed the credit of Shen Yan, so he could only agree with a smile. "Well, you have the final say, who made you an idler."

Shen Yan didn't bother to talk to him, from cultivating the habit of exchange is a necessary step to establish a commodity cycle, this step cannot be wrong. If you start eating a big pot of rice, the initial harvest will be very gratifying, but if you want to break it back in the future, you will need to pay a hundredfold price! Shen Yan didn't need to explain everything clearly, most of the time, his opinion Milton just had to do it.

Moreover, Shen Yan's evolutionary direction is heavy artillery and earth flow archers, in the future, one enemy and one army, even if it is a village, the more arrows he has in reserve, the better!

In the following time, Shen Yan demonstrated both the arrow grinder and the sticky feather device again, but there were not many people who wanted these two things, and their enthusiasm was limited. Just like the way knives are sharpened, each person has a personal inheritance, and it is not necessary to have a machine.

As for the six large boxes of plastic arrow feathers (100 pieces in each box) he brought back, they were simply called evil by the half-elf archers! In their cultural heritage, if the arrow wants to fly far and steadily, the arrow feather must be the feather of a bird of prey - if the eagle's feather can fly a thousand meters, then the eagle's feather must be able to fly two thousand meters!

It's all the archer's fault that he can't fly far, everyone come and laugh at him!

However, the archers will also think that it is their own fault, and hide in shame in the mountains and mountains to bury their heads and practice hard...... It is as if the flight of arrows does not depend on kinetic energy, but on birds...... The problem is that this perception is deeply rooted in people's hearts! Even Catherine and Lizard Head praised it, which made Shen Yan go to reason with whom?

Well, since this is the case, Shen Yan is not polite, all the arrow feathers are used for his own use, saving him from having to eat chickens everywhere.

As for the two large boxes of various special arrows that Shen Yan specially brought back, they were the top secret of the village! Except for the Big Four, even the rest of the village council can't be reached, and even if it is imitated in the future, it must be done in secret!

Because these things are no less significant in this day and age than ballistic missiles.

You may not believe it, but in this world, the evolution of the double-edged arrow into the three-edged arrow has led to the destruction of countless nations. A large number of small states went bankrupt under external pressure and the high cost of the triangular arrow, and finally merged into a powerful empire that spanned the continent.

Shen Yan brought back so many kinds of arrowheads, and roughly estimated that it would be enough for the Northern Three Kingdoms to be destroyed more than ten times...... Do you think it's scary?

*****

Shen Yan showed all the things he brought back one by one, mainly to introduce those tools. After that, those quivers, armbands, or other things that were worn on the body and brought back were given away casually, and whoever grabbed them was considered to be anyone's. If you didn't grab it, you just had a button flashlight per person, this thing was light and quite durable, and he bought a large box as a gift with a spare battery.

After finishing it, Shen Yan leaned on the fire with satisfaction, just like going home from a business trip to distribute the gifts, looking at those who wanted to use the flashlight but were reluctant to use it, and instigated others to use it to have fun.

In terms of literature and art, Shen Yan belongs to a complete materialist! He shouldn't have come back with a whole bunch of "useful" things, it's too "material"! Instead, he should use all the weight he can carry to bring fruits, candies and chocolates that are not available in this world, and then distribute them and watch the children "smile happily at the world of despair for a moment" and "feel a sense of peace and joy in their hearts", so as to appear more humane. Your children have a cold future, and our children have warm smiles.

Shen Yan actually gave up the great humanistic care and chose to come back with a lot of murderous weapons! Do you still have humanity? Do you still have selfless love? People like you are simply hated to the bone by so-and-so! Child labour is also exploited...... It's a pity that it seems that the people in Green Horn Bay are very materialistic, they think that the things that Shen Yan brought back are very good, and everyone can't wait to try to use them.

Shen ...... Mr. Shen, me, can I touch that arrow shaft cutter? ”

Just when Shen Yan felt a little tired and wanted to lazily roast the fire and take a nap. Suddenly, he heard a girl talking to himβ€”the voice was quite niceβ€”and he couldn't help but look up, and then he froze!

He didn't notice that the Big Four were all standing behind him with a wink, waiting to see him laugh...... The lizard's head stabbed the tiger, ambiguously like a chrysanthemum; Milton showed two rows of big teeth; As for Catherine, she threw the thing in her hand in annoyance, but she couldn't help but laugh!

Shen Yan really didn't pay attention to those bastards, he was stunned because he was talking, and it was actually a cute girl with a very amazing appearance! She was sitting on the other side of the fire, directly opposite Shen Yan, and she was about thirteen or fourteen years old. When Shen Yan looked at her, she was also looking at Shen Yan's eyes without shying away.

It's not scientific, when did we have such a beautiful girl in Green Horn?

This is Lao Shen's thoughts at this moment-

To be honest, in Lao Shen's eyes, the girl's malnourished body can only score 5 points at most, and her overly thin cheeks can only score 7 points, but with those big smart eyes, it soars to a full score in an instant! And that's not all...... Have you seen Stephen Chow's "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance"?

You put such a beautiful girl in the group of crooked melons and cracked dates in Green Horn Bay and compare them like this-! A little red in the green bushes is so beautiful that it explodes! Yan presses two ditches and five platforms with wood!

So the question is - why is such a beautiful girl specially taken care of, dressed up freshly and refreshingly, and then arranged to sit opposite Lao Shen?

Shen Yan understood, Nima was doing something with this group of two hundred and five...... It's a pity that you don't understand, I'm a sage time now, and the poor monk ate a while ago, and recently wanted to eat fast!

Don't say you guys give me a "three-year start" - declare in advance that I'm not interested in Lori - even if you strip Diao Chan naked and put it in front of me...... Wait a minute! Lori can not do it, Diao Chan must be mine!

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

PS: A book friend is right, everything is difficult at the beginning, difficult in the middle, and difficult at the end......

PS2: It's about to be the New Year, and Lao Lei angrily begged for a ** recommendation vote!

PS3: Lao Lei has paid attention to no longer being involved in politics, so as not to complain about private goods or something. But the temper tantrums I have encountered recently seem to be particularly high, because of the addition of a definite article "slum" to abandon the book, because of the saying "heavy oil and heavy spicy" to abandon the book, there are other reasons earlier, I don't remember.

This, let me say one more thing, isn't it okay for everyone to be calm? Lao Lei wants to write a book for everyone to be happy. If you are offended, it is also an unintentional mistake, please laugh it off, and never mean to deliberately block anyone.

There is a good saying, "the ...... of the New Year", right?
