A few people stood in front of a thirty or forty meter high bamboo bush, each as thick as a child's waist, and even in this winter, it is emerald green.

"Bearded, are you not mistaken, you buried all those living dead here?"

The bald diamond clouded leopard Zhang Sheng asked Pang Bing, the bearded tiger who brought a few people to come.

"That's not wrong, I'll take someone to bury those living dead at the entrance of this Jiangjiaping village, you see that the sign is still there. But it turns out that there is no bamboo forest here. ”

"Fourth master, have you forgotten that when we were leaving, you broke a bamboo from the river and stuck it on the grave to tie a white flag?"

A minion stepped forward and reminded.

"What!"

Everyone's mouths immediately opened wide, and their eyes almost didn't pop out.

At this time, even Zhao Xinghua opened his mouth wide.

"You bastard, why didn't you pick a bun of grain."

Fan Zhanbiao, the master of the big village, and Fan Sanye kicked the buttocks of Pang Bing, the fourth master sitting on the ground, looking like the old man was angry when he defeated the family. If it had been planted with a corn plant, it would have grown into a patch now!

"Godmother, are they talking about that bamboo?"

Xu Wan'er, who is now Zhenni, pointed to a small bamboo pole tied with tattered white cloth in the bamboo forest and asked.

Everyone followed her gaze, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, the excitement in their hearts immediately calmed down a lot.

"Ahem, even if it wasn't for the bamboo pole that the fourth brother planted casually, we all know that this forest was not here before the natural disaster, it was a new one in the past six months, and this is too fucking high! It was impossible for ordinary bamboo to grow so thick in the past, which can only show that what this little brother said is true! ”

At the end of the day, the tall, lanky man with a pair of large black-rimmed glasses became more and more agitated.

"Bai Fuzi, this bamboo can't be eaten or drunk, what are you excited about?"

"Stupid! If we use zombies as fertilizer to grow food, then we will be developed, and we will no longer have to worry about not being able to feed the population, and with people, we will be able to lay more territory, and then the whole of Shonan will listen to us! ”

Fan Zhanbiao's ambition was ignited by the miracle in front of him, and he suddenly stared at Zhao Xinghua fiercely.

Seeing this, Zhao Xinghua immediately said:

"Big boss, this method may only be unknown in Xiaoxiang, but in Guangdong Province, basically all the survivors know it, you have to hurry up and grab the seeds." And with your large-scale planting and promotion, it will definitely spread quickly, and the news cannot be blocked. ”

Of course, Zhao Xinghua knew that this Fan Laosan had the idea of killing people.

"Well, you're a character, what do you do?"

"They were all trained in the army and served as soldiers."

Zhao Xinghua doesn't want to be too low-key now, now that he has found Jiaojiao, he has a lot less worries, although he doesn't know the strength of these people in front of him, but with his brainwave attack with Jiaojiao's brainwave attack, I believe that he can still kill them by surprise. It's just that Jiaojiao has been acting a little strange, and there is some worry in her eyes.

"Oh, what soldier?"

Fan Laosan was a little surprised that this kid was still a soldier.

"I worked as a guard for Major General Han of the Sui City Military Police Garrison Command."

Zhao Xinghua replied half-truthfully.

"Listen to this tone, I also worked as a bodyguard!"

"Zhen's mother gave our new brother a pill of elixir, so that he will not be invaded by poison in the future!"

Fan Zhanbiao made a color to Zhen's mother.

Hearing this, Zhen Niang took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a pill, and said: "After eating this, all poisons will not invade, and even those living dead must take the initiative to avoid it." ”

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and slowly handed it to Zhao Xinghua, his eyes full of expectation and excitement.

"Godmother, give me this too!"

Jiaojiao stepped forward to snatch this grain, but was blocked by the white master on her side.

Zhao Xinghua understood that Jiaojiao must have eaten this thing and was coerced by them. Is it like the poison of the leopard fetus Yijin Pill in "The Legend of Deer and Ding"?!

To pick up or not to answer? Zhao Xinghua hesitated for a moment, and the five masters of the general village also formed a circle, and the minions on the periphery also took the gun from their shoulders and held it in their arms.

There was a look of disassurance and sadness in her delicate eyes.

Zhao Xinghua analyzed the situation, made a quick decision in his heart, took the pill from Zhen Niang's hand and slapped it into his mouth quickly, swallowed it in one gulp, and then opened his mouth wide, making a "ah~" sound, and then cocked his tongue again, shaking his head left and right to show everyone that there was nothing in his mouth.

This series of rapid changes made several village owners not react for a while, and Fan Zhanbiao, the owner of the big village, looked in the direction of Zhen Shi Niang, who nodded slightly.

"Hahaha, we will be a family from now on, what's your name?"

For the first time, Fan Zhanbiao and the others formally asked the name of Zhao Xinghua in front of them, if Zhao Xinghua lied just now, or if he didn't take medicine, they wouldn't let him leave alive, as for what the dead man was called, who would care.

"Zhao Xinghua, who has been a guard, can shoot."

"Let's go, let's go back and talk."

Fan Zhanbiao was going to return to the general's village to discuss where to find zombies.

"Owner, these bamboos are also treasures."

"Oh?"

Zhao Xinghua's reminder made Fan Zhanbiao's heart move. There was no such thick bamboo before the end of the world, so we had to think carefully about how to use it.

"That's right! Such a single bamboo can make multiple sets of mahjong tiles! ”

Pang Bing, the sitting tiger, once again said something that made everyone stunned.

The tall thin man with glasses glanced back and forth on Zhao Xinghua and Jiaojiao's bodies a few times, and when he saw that the two did not have any communication or hints, he shifted his gaze to those tall bamboos and said:

"I've heard that the Japanese people can use bamboo to make bamboo knives, bamboo guns, bamboo armor, and I guess they can also make bows and crossbows. I just don't know if we have the talent for this. ”

"Is this thing going to be that strong? Can you still make bamboo knives? ”

The bearded tiger Pang Bing expressed his disbelief, took out a machete from his waist and stepped forward, slashing at the front of a bamboo.

"Poof~!" A knife cut into half a finger deep, which was also unexpected by everyone.

Zhao Xinghua is when the bamboo here is similar to the one seen in the She people, invulnerable and indestructible cat's head bamboo, but unfortunately it was cut into it by this sitting tiger, using an ordinary steel knife, and the hardness is far from meeting his expectations. Others are the opposite, thinking that with Pang Bing's strength, not to mention cutting this kind of hollow bamboo, even a big tree should be able to cut it with a knife, and he is a horn with infinite strength that can wrestle with a buffalo.

"This bamboo is really a bit evil."

"Well, it can be used. Go back and ask Steward Zhang to find a few people who can make bamboo utensils, and set up a shed here to make it. ”

"I know the way to make crossbows, in our Miao family, there are still two methods of making ordinary crossbows and fairy crossbows, and some old people will also make Zhuge repeaters, but unfortunately I haven't seen it. The bamboo here is suitable for ordinary hand crossbows and flat crossbows according to such hardness and length. ”

Zhen Niang took a long time for a while, and these newly grown bamboo forests finally spoke.

Since ancient times, the crossbow arrows of the ethnic minorities in the mountainous areas of southwest China are not only weapons but also tools for labor production and hunting meat, especially among the ethnic groups, the Miao nationality is the special, the heavy crossbow is not the heavy bow, and the bow and arrow are rarely used for hunting, and the crossbow arrow is mostly used as a long-distance weapon. As the name suggests, the hand crossbow is a traditional small trigger-type crossbow, and the so-called flat crossbow is generally a large crossbow with a length of about one meter five to two meters.

The Miao people also like to smear poison on the arrows, the poison is red or black-brown, the composition is uncertain, it is a mixed type of poison, the toxicity is very strong, the blood seals the throat, and it dies in four to five hours, there is no best way to detoxify. The composition of poisons is complex, ranging from a few poisonous things to dozens of them, and even more from hundreds of animal and plant toxins. Used for hunting and curing diseases, one milligram of poison can kill a 400-pound wild boar.

Therefore, the Miao people especially like medicine crossbow hunting, which can be described as "seeing blood and sealing the throat and shooting silently".

Zhen Niang grew up in Xiangxi since she was a child, and the village where she lives still retains the tradition of making crossbows, and there are crossbow shooting competitions in the Huashan Festival of the Miao people every year.

As for making bamboo knives and spears from bamboo, it is not difficult.

The bamboo spear is a two-meter thick bamboo that is broken into three or four centimeters of bamboo billet, the front end is sharpened, dipped in some pig's blood, and it is taken to the pot and fried in oil, drained of water, and strengthened after the hardness can be used.

However, the bamboo knife is not the kind of bamboo cutting knife composed of four pieces of bamboo practiced in Japanese kendo practice, but is similar to the shape of a boat oar, with a length of 1.3 to 1.5 meters, the tail end is a handle with a diameter of 3 cm and a length of 40 cm, and the front section is a 20 cm wide prismatic oar-shaped, thick in the middle and thin on both sides, which can be used for chopping. Legend has it that the Japanese sword master Miyamoto Musashi fought more than 60 large and small duels in his life, and more than half of them used bamboo knives to take the lives of their opponents. This is confirmed by the famous duel on Iwarujima in history, the battle between Miyamoto Musashi vs. Kojiro Sasaki, in which Musashi, who was not yet a sword master at the time, defeated Kojiro, who was known as the "invincible samurai", with a bamboo sword.

Of course, this oar-shaped wooden knife not only appeared in the history of Japan, but also when the Aztecs in the Americas did not know how to smelt iron, they created a terrible weapon for their warriors - "Macquait", that is, the obsidian inlaid on the sides of the wooden weapon like an oar, and the Spanish colonists recorded that some people saw the Aztecs holding the "Macquawit" in both hands, and with a single wave, they could cut off the horse's head. In the film and television "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there is also Ultraman Belial, who also uses oars.?\_(ツ)_/?
