Chapter 123: Various Preparations

Among the large number of daily necessities that Yan Liqiang bought back yesterday, in addition to things like bedding, bowls and chopsticks, there were also three chicken feather dusters, more than 20 large sewing needles, a box of gum, a roll of yellow paper, and some silk scissors and other things......

Such a pile of things, put in front of anyone, will not be thought to be used to kill people, but after Yan Liqiang returned to the small courtyard, he took the pile of things he bought yesterday to the room on the first floor and began to make a sharp weapon for killing.

The rod pole of the three feather dusters is made of a kind of bamboo called golden bamboo, the golden bamboo is not thick, but it will grow very hard, and it is very long, the golden bamboo is generally the thickest can only grow to the thickness of the adult's thumb, the length of each bamboo can be more than 60 cm, the leather surface of the golden bamboo is very thick, the texture is very hard, it is not easy to break, the surface and the inside are very smooth, so it is an ideal material for making fishing rods and feather dusters.

Yan Liqiang first chose a feather duster, cut off the two ends of a bamboo knot under the feather duster with a dagger, and immediately got a bamboo pipe with a length of about 40 cm and two ends open in his hand.

I flattened the two ends of the bamboo pipe, blew the air, put it in my eyes and looked at it, the bamboo pipe was extremely smooth, there was no foreign matter, and it took less than three minutes for the first thing to be done.

Although he took the scissors again, cut a small piece of yellow paper, rolled the yellow paper into the shape of a cone, inserted a large sewing needle into the cone of the cone, with the tip of the needle pointing outward, and then fixed the sewing needle with the conical yellow paper roll with gum and silk thread, so that the two remained strong enough, and the second tool was ready.

This second tool took a little time, but it didn't take more than five minutes, which may be troublesome to say, but the shape of this thing that Yan Liqiang made with a needle and yellow paper is very similar to the radome on the head of a fighter with a pointed airspeed tube, the airspeed tube is a sewing needle, and the yellow paper is a cone-shaped radome.

After making it, Yan Liqiang took these two things out to try the power.

The courtyard outside is very large, there is just a pomegranate tree in the yard, the pomegranate tree has been overgrown with pomegranates one by one, on the mountain, these pomegranate fruits are worthless, there are a lot of wild ones, this pomegranate tree and the pomegranate on the pomegranate tree, is Yan Liqiang's welfare of renting a house, and the landlord has not counted the money with him.

Stuffing the finished needle into the bamboo pipe, Yan Liqiang stood in the yard fifteen meters away from the pomegranate tree, raised the bamboo pipe to his mouth, and blew the trunk of the pomegranate tree in the distance......

......

That's right, Yan Liqiang is to make blow arrows again - one of the oldest, simplest, easiest to make and master how to use, but very powerful.

In the last life on the earth, no one knows how many years the blow arrow has been circulating on the earth, it is such a pipe and a small arrow that can be blown out, when it is connected with the human lungs, but it bursts out with great power, from the primitive tribes of the Amazon rainforest, to the special forces of many countries, as well as killers, many special professions, are using, whether it is used to kill people or hunt, it will not disappoint, and the production and mastery of using it, but it is very, very simple.

In his previous life, Yan Liqiang had seen a new colleague in his company use an aluminum-plastic tube and a scrapped pen refill in the office, and then used a piece of A4 paper and a little transparent tape to make a blow arrow, and penetrate a can from 15 meters away.

That time I saw the power of blowing arrows, so that Yan Liqiang remembered deeply, that colleague said that his brother is a forest policeman, usually he uses some simple tools to make blow arrows by himself, put anesthetics on the blow arrows, what lions, tigers, beasts, and even elephants and rhinoceros, want to tame, within 20 meters, blow one accurate, if the refill is replaced with a sharp object ground out of the spokes of the bicycle, the blowpipe is a little longer, you can explode a beer bottle or pierce a two-centimeter-thick wooden board from 20 meters away......

A blow arrow alone can't cause a huge penetrating wound and can't kill people, but if the top of the blow arrow is smeared with poison that seals the throat with blood, it is easy to kill people with this thing, and it is impossible to prevent it, because when this thing flies out, not to mention the speed, it is silent.

It takes at least three or five years for a person to practice flying knives, shuttles, arrows and other hidden weapons in the palm to develop a little fire, and to learn to master blow arrows, three or five days is about the same.

......

Yan Liqiang was a little dissatisfied with the first blow arrow, feeling a little floating after flying out of more than ten meters, he picked up the blow arrow, readjusted the length of the needle exposed by the blow arrow and the length of the cone tail made of yellow paper behind, and made another blow arrow to try again, and then picked it up again, made another one, and tried again......

If the tail wing is smaller, then make it bigger, and if the tail wing is bigger, then cut it shorter...... The tip of the needle that emerges is shorter, and the lower branch is longer, longer, and then retracted...... If it feels a little lighter, then use the twine you bought to wrap around the tail of the sewing needle to increase the counterweight...... If it is not suitable, the position of the counterweight on the blow arrow is constantly adjusted......

Yan Liqiang was like doing scientific experiments in the laboratory, constantly looking for the most suitable parameters for the blow arrow, and finally, after a busy morning and nearly an afternoon, and hundreds of experiments over and over again, the most suitable blow arrow for this blowpipe was finally explored by Yan Liqiang......

......

In the evening, when the sun was about to set, in the courtyard, Yan Liqiang stood more than 20 meters away from the pomegranate tree, put the latest blow arrow into the blowpipe, and then took a deep breath, and the air pressure in the inflated lungs was instantly converted into kinetic energy, pushing the blow arrow in the blowpipe out......

The blow arrow flying out of the blowpipe was like a small rocket being launched, and it was like a lightning bolt that was so small that it was difficult to detect, even Yan Liqiang's staring eyes did not catch the trajectory of its flight in the air, and almost at the moment of blowing, the blow arrow stuck to the trunk of the tree like a small black flower.

In order to pursue the most accurate and realistic effect, Yan Liqiang had already dyed those yellow papers black to use at this time.

Yan Liqiang came to the pomegranate tree and found that the arrow had sunk into the trunk of the tree nearly two centimeters more, like a nail nailed to the tree, very firm, and it took a little force to pull out the blow arrow on his fingers.

Yan Liqiang, who had been working for almost a day, finally showed a smile on his face......

Such power, as long as the target is not wearing armor, even if it is shot on clothing, it is enough to penetrate several layers of clothing, making people see blood.

Yan Liqiang made ten standard blow arrows in one breath and used them to practice.

In the evening, Yan Liqiang continued to practice by the light of the stars and the moon, and his accuracy of blowing arrows was also improving rapidly.

When he was almost done, Yan Liqiang did today's evening class again - he practiced the Yijin Washing Pulp Sutra three times before he fell asleep.

......

The next day, August 29, after the morning class, Yan Liqiang changed into old clothes that he rarely weared, deliberately made himself a little disgraced, put on a hat, found a useless broken sack in the utility room of the rented house, and went out and left Wuyang Village.

After walking more than ten kilometers along the official road outside Wuyang Village, I came to the largest market located in the north of Pingxi City.

This market in the north of Pingxi City, the most sold is all kinds of fur mountain treasures and medicinal materials and other things, most of the people who come here to sell things are hunters, medicine pickers, or small vendors who specialize in mountain goods business. Those who come here to buy things are the pharmacies and restaurants in Pingxi City to buy or shopkeepers, and there are also many people in Pingxi City, because the mountain goods sold here are cheap, and they also come here to buy some things that are rarely bought on weekdays.

As soon as the sun comes out, the market is already bustling with activity.

Yan Liqiang walked in the bazaar, constantly looking at the mountain goods sold in the bazaar.

Among those who sell mountain goods, there are many people who sell snakes, those snakes are all hunters or medicine pickers from the nearby mountains to catch snakes, there are many people in Pingxi City who like to eat snake meat, some restaurants also make all kinds of snake soup and snake feasts, and some pharmacies buy snake gall bladder and all kinds of live snakes, because there is this demand, so naturally there are people who are willing to catch snakes to sell.

There are more than 10 varieties of snakes on sale at first glance, and all poisonous snakes are contained in bamboo cages, poisonous snakes and non-venomous snakes, slightly venomous snakes and highly venomous snakes.

After visiting the market and discovering that there were more than one person selling the snake of the breed he needed, and that there were not many people who bought that kind of snake, Yan Liqiang finally came to a stall with a somewhat hot business.

"Boss, how do you sell this black-ringed viper?" Yan Liqiang spoke to the boss in an authentic local accent of Pingxi City.

The stall owner glanced at Yan Liqiang, "This snake is a penny and a quarter of silver, what does the little brother buy this snake for, do you eat it?"

"It's not to eat, where can I afford to eat, it's the doctor who prescribed medicine, and I need to use the snake gall bladder of this black-ringed viper to treat my father's eye disease......" Yan Liqiang looked at the stall owner with an embarrassed face, "One dollar and four cents are too expensive, can it be cheaper?"

Hearing Yan Liqiang say that it was useful, the stall owner no longer had any doubts, "For the sake of the little brother, you are so filial, then you will be a penny and three cents......"

"It's still too expensive, is it okay for a penny?"

"I lost a penny......

After bargaining with the boss, Yan Liqiang finally bought the black-ringed viper for a price of one dollar and two cents of silver, carried the bamboo cage containing the snake, left the market, and after coming outside, he put the bamboo cage in the sack he carried with him to cover it, and then went around the road outside for most of the circle, and after making sure that no one was following him, he came to the river to wash his face, took care of himself again, and then returned to Wuyang Village with the snake......
