Zhao Xinghua was idle in the middle school, and saw a group of people carrying sawn bamboos, thinking that they were going to make the kind of hats that could be used as shields. So he also followed, and when he walked to the back, he saw that it was Uncle Ping, the master of the stick, who was doing these things in person, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he hurriedly prepared to come forward to help.

Seeing that it was Zhao Xinghua coming over, Uncle Ping also smiled and greeted:

"Lord Bi Fang, come here and I'll teach you how to make this hat, in the future, if you have any damage on the road, you can make it yourself, if it weren't for the arrival of this disaster, this craft would have been lost."

Zhao Xinghua hurriedly said, "Good, good, good." ”

"The first step is to break the bamboo, split the bamboo in four parts, and sandwich two pieces of bamboo in the shape of a cross. Divide it little by little. ”

"Uncle Ping, isn't this bamboo capable of being cut with a knife? How can it be divided into a single section, and it can also be split from the middle. ”

"It is true that it is difficult to cut these cat's head bamboos with a knife and axe, but the position of their bamboo joints is not a whole, it is the joint position of the bamboo, and it is very easy to cut it with a saw. In addition, it is easy to peel off and separate the fibers one by one along the texture of the bamboo. This is true no matter how hard the beads become. ”

As he spoke, the bamboo was quickly divided into strips of bamboo strips by an ordinary-looking knife in Uncle Ping's hand.

"These strips can't be woven directly because they are too hard and easy to break, and they need to be soaked in salt water for two hours. Come and peel the strips with me first. This is also a work of honing the mind and coordinating the hands and eyes, and the uniformity of the thickness of each strip is also directly related to the quality of the final product. ”

Seeing Zhao Xinghua using a fanged dagger to do this work, Uncle Ping was a little surprised, this is clearly the teeth of a beast, which can grow the fangs to a length of thirty or forty centimeters, but imagine what a huge beast it will be, seeing that it scraped lightly on the cat's head bamboo, the bamboo immediately opened from the center, it was really like a bamboo, the beast was absolutely fierce when it was alive, and now its fangs were used by Zhao Xinghua to make a dagger, needless to say, I also know its ending. Uncle Ping only had a sense of awe for the Bifang warriors of the Yao clan at this time.

"The edges of the bamboo are very sharp after breaking, and you need to scrape it back and forth with a knife so that you don't hurt your hands during the weaving process."

Uncle Ping was also old in accidents, so he didn't ask about the origin of the fanged dagger, and continued to explain.

"Uncle Ping, since this bamboo is also difficult to break with a knife and axe, why don't you choose a thinner one to use as a stick?"

"For some novices in stick-making, the difference between bamboo sticks and wooden sticks is really not much. But if we use it, the gains outweigh the losses, and the sticks must be straight and smooth. The moves in the stick technique are exquisite, hitting, uncovering, splitting, covering, pressing, clouding, sweeping, wearing, supporting, picking, teasing, dialing, etc. It is required to use both the pins, the body and the stick, the force through the sticks, the throughput and expansion of the posture, and the undulating conversion are directly related to the use of the stick method. The posture is coordinated, so that the weapon can go with you, and the body is the same. The smoothness and disobedience of strength are closely related to the correctness of the body and the coordination of the posture. Although the cat's head bamboo is hard, it has a lot of bamboo joints, which is bound to affect the holding posture of both hands on the stick, so that many moves will be flawed when the use of the stick, and it is impossible to reach the realm of the unity of the human stick. ”

"Teachable, teachable."

Zhao Xinghua now understands the truth of this, just like when he uses the sword as a weapon, the position of the center of gravity of the knife is very important, the further back the center of gravity, the lighter the feel, the more labor-saving the force, the easier it is to control, but the smaller the terminal inertia, the less powerful. On the contrary, the center of gravity will become solid in the hand, and the greater the grip force required to maintain the level, the more difficult it will be, and the inertia brought by the weight will also increase, and the power and destructive force will increase, but the control force will be lost. This is also so that novice knife novices do not notice the problem. The ease of use of the equipment also affects the user's combat level.

In this way, Zhao Xinghua discussed martial arts with Uncle Ping, don't look at Uncle Ping's powerlessness to fight back when he was killed by Fan Yao during the competition, it was also a loss to be caught by Fan Yao as soon as he got on the field, and now if he fights again, it may not be the same as before. Uncle Ping is also very interested, it is rare for someone to understand some of the truth he said, this kind of high-level comprehension is told to ordinary people, telling him how to exert force, step and turn, what angle should a certain part of the body be maintained at what moment, etc., ordinary people know what you are talking about, but they still can't understand the wonders.

The last time Zhao Xinghua was beaten with a long stick on the roof of the building, Zhao Xinghua felt very hot about this kind of long weapon. Now that I have the opportunity to have a deeper understanding, it is natural that Uncle Heping, who is going all out, will discuss it, especially Uncle Ping explained some of the methods of the She people to beat the acupoints with sticks, which made Zhao Xinghua listen to it with relish.

Unconsciously, an hour passed quickly, and Uncle Ping reached into the sink with his hand to touch the hardness of those slivers, and said, It's okay.

"Uncle Ping, do you have to soak it in salt water every time you make it?"

"No, if you use those small green bamboos, you can weave them directly, you don't need to soak them, and the reason why these cat's head bamboos need to be soaked is because they are all mature bamboos, and it stands to reason that they are no longer suitable for utensils processing. But this hardness of bamboo is also strange, that cluster grows thirty or forty meters high, and there is no new one. After you have mastered the production of strips, you can not only make hats, but also make baskets, bags, etc., the principle is the same. ”

Uncle Ping weaves the strips into hat blanks according to a certain rule. Each hat needs two formed hat blanks, when the two hat blanks are braided, Uncle Ping will wet and soak the rice dumpling leaves prepared in advance, and then arrange them on one of the hat blanks in a certain order, and then press another hat blank, and finally use a soft strip to lock the two hat blanks holding the rice dumpling leaves, and make a handle inside to master the use, this shield hat is basically completed.

When Zhao Xinghua was admiring his masterpiece Doujia, Pan Yinlong rushed over,

"Brother Zhao, something is wrong! Come with me. ”

When Zhao Xinghua heard this, he hurriedly followed Pan Yinlong and ran towards the teaching building.

In his mind, it couldn't be that someone on his team was injured, right? I couldn't help but worry in my heart, and I hurried a few times, jumped in front of Pan Yinlong, and ran directly to the conference room.

Pushing the door in, I saw that Lan Yuqing and a few She men were already here, and only Gao Liexiong was there in his team, and he didn't see any injured people, so he couldn't help but ask anxiously:

"Where are the people?!"

Hearing his loud inquiry, a man with tattered and bare feet immediately burst into tears.

"You're Lord Bi Fang of Pai Shan Yao, right? You must save our whole people! ”

Zhao Xinghua's anxious appearance also deeply moved the people, Lan Yuqing and others sighed in their hearts, this Bifang warrior is really benevolent and righteous, hearing that the cottage of the Yao tribe was attacked by fierce beasts, he was so anxious, this kind of demeanor does not seem to be a fake at all, this person is worthy of life.

Zhao Xinghua knew that he was oolong at this time, and he didn't talk nonsense, and continued to say to the man who was kneeling on the ground crying about the question just now: "Don't worry, you speak slowly." ”

It turned out that this was a messenger from the eight rows of Yao in Mangshan, where the Yao village was attacked by a group of wild beasts, and the people of the village resisted desperately, and when they saw that there was still not much hope, they sent people out to report the news to find rescuers to relieve the siege.

Mangshan, the most well-preserved primeval forest at the same latitude on the earth, is the largest national forest park in southern China with the best preserved biological species. There are more than 40 Yao villages living in a radius of 100 kilometers, and after the apocalyptic natural disaster, the beasts in the mountains mutated and evolved, and some small Yao villages took the initiative to take refuge in the big villages. As the beast grows stronger, the cottage continues to merge. In the end, several super villages were formed, and some of these cottages were moved down the mountain one after another, and now only one village is trapped in the Mangshan cave. Several messengers were dispatched on the mountain to carry the rescue troops separately, and this one ran dozens of kilometers to come here.

Zhao Xinghua didn't notice him when he entered the conference room, because in Zhao Xinghua's opinion, the clothes of the Yao and She ethnic groups were similar, and it was impossible to distinguish the difference between the two ethnic groups from their clothing.

Since he is a Bifang warrior and in front of so many people, Zhao Xinghua has no reason to retreat.
