Chapter 198: The Long Hunting Bow

With the permission of the village chief, Chen Yi gently grabbed the long hunting bow.

In the shooting club, he learned how to use several bows and arrows, and now he looks back on the standard movements, especially the one-handed bow and flat posture, which made the natives quite curious.

The tenacity of the bowstring is excellent, and the wood on the back of the bow is as hard as steel, so Chen Yi easily pulled it to eighty, and then slowly relaxed.

The village chief smiled.

"There is a level of a four-stone bow." Chen Yi said in surprise that his single-arm pulling force was more than 100 kilograms, while the ancient four-stone bow required about 80 kilograms.

As a monolithic bow, it can be said to be quite good, and unlike modern competitive compound bows, it has a simpler structure and pursues more lethality than accuracy.

Chen Yi's smile made the village elder quite happy, he commanded his son to go to the house and bring 10 bows and arrows made of animal bones, and then pointed to the leather shoes on the ground and stretched out 3 fingers.

As far as labor time is concerned, the time required to make a bow and 10 arrows should not be less than 3 shoes, and although the leather shoes on the ground are more finely made, it makes no difference to the natives.

They value the convenience and lightness of the shoes.

Chen Yi leaned over and pushed out the three shoes, and then put the bow and arrow in the big backpack.

The first trade was quite successful.

The others looked at Chen Yi eagerly, but they didn't step forward to take the things themselves.

It seems that the herdsmen in the vicinity of the city have their own rules of trading: everyone gathers around the goods they are interested in, and the owner of the goods chooses the exchange item he likes, and the owner of the exchange goods makes a bid, and finally trades.

They may have their own currency, but in the 20th century, there was still a barter-based way of trading in rural China, and it was normal for herders to exchange their practices for things.

Businessmen, including Chen Yi, will obviously like this type of trading as well, because bartering will significantly increase profits for the party with better information.

Chen Yi looked at it again and again, and reached out and grabbed a rodent animal the size of a head. It is encased in vines and can only move its head and claws.

Its owner, a child of twelve or thirteen years old, happily grabbed a leather shoe and was about to run.

The village chief coughed vigorously.

The adults next to him slipped him back.

"I'm sorry." The child weakly put down his leather shoes.

Chen Yi was like a friendly colonial uncle, and said with a smile: "A pair of leather shoes, change one...... What is it called? ”

"Kadon."

"Okay, change to a cartoon."

The child burst into tears and laughed, jumping and jumping with joy.

This rodent, called a cartoon, was prepared by Chen Yi to inspect the light gate exchanges. So, when the "cartoon" came later, he just shook his head.

Seeing that he had little interest in meat and leather, the village chief turned around in two circles in a hurry, gritted his teeth, and returned to the big tree house behind, where he took out three more bows and 60 arrows.

Chen Yi gave him 10 pairs of shoes without hesitation.

Bows and arrows are not for sale, but for equipping martial arts students.

A considerable part of the knightly tactics of the Kingdom of San Chio belong to the course of bows and arrows, and some physical movements can also distinguish the shadow of archery.

Compared with the firearms that are in countless troubles, such as the naked bear, the students of this level use bows and arrows, which are more powerful than the pistols, and if the training is stronger, the fifth-level students are holding a strong bow and being a sniper is no problem.

Seeing that his interest in ordnance was much greater than that of agricultural products, the natives went home to get their things.

Located in a pastoral area near the city, the small village with more than 20 cattle is not poor. Each family had at least two or three pairs of bows and arrows, and it was not difficult for them to take out half of them to exchange them.

It didn't take long for 50 pairs of leather shoes to turn into 12 bows and arrows and 200 arrows. Probably because Yuncun is a livestock village, their arrows are all bone arrows, and the quality is quite good, although it seems a little small, but it is actually enough. The archers of ancient times were not submachine guns, and after firing 10 arrows, they were basically useless.

Without leather shoes, slippers became the focus of everyone.

A woman, presumably facilitating its lightness, took out a pair of leather armor from behind her, placed it on the ground, pointed to the slippers, and stretched out four fingers.

Chen Yi nodded.

The so-called leather armor is a fairly tightly wrapped beast leather, about the same thickness as cowhide, and as hard as steel.

He took a bone arrow and poked it hard, but it couldn't penetrate it.

This thing, I guess a defensive pistol can do it.

"Who still has leather armor?" Chen Yi pointed to the things in his hand.

The women hesitated for a moment, but compromised.

They have a lot of leather, but it is very difficult to make light shoes. Shoes in Mara City are not cheap either, and if you count the material, there are more than the leather used to make leather armor.

100 pairs of shoes were quickly cleared, Chen Yi stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "No." ”

The village chief warmly invited him to sit in the house.

The latter half-pushed and half-agreed. When I entered the tree house, I began to observe whether there were any traces of fire, whether there were any bronze mirrors and other things......

He didn't want to fall victim to totem worship. Although it seems that the strength of the residents of this village is far from the level of knights, in other people's territory, it is always themselves who suffer.

The language barrier is the biggest obstacle, and after talking most of the nonsense, I finally learned some of the customs of the village, piggybacking on a little distant Mara City, as for the farther places, the village chief didn't know.

Before dark, Chen Yi said goodbye and left, carrying a full bow and arrows on his back, went around in a big circle, passed through the light gate, and arrived at the Kingdom of St. Chio.

This time, he was in a much lighter mood, so under the guidance of the paladin Grundler, he exercised for nearly 30 hours, and the little lizard was completely skinless.

The second day, at 22:30, Chen Yi came to the subway station on time.

This time, he went to New York, drove a fake raptor for a while, and finally carefully selected a black homeless man of his size under the streets of Queens, knocked him out, took him to a small hotel, changed into a full set of new clothes, and then pulled it to Times Square.

He wanted to see if one could get in and out of the gate of light.

The little lizard drove the car and cursed: "The smell is so bad, why don't you wash it clean." ”

"I gouged it with a brush, what else?" Chen Yi also covered his nose and said, "Hurry up, I'll wake up in a while." ”

When he was about to arrive at the bustling street market, the sign of a gun shop flashed, and Chen Yi lightly stepped on the brakes and asked, "How is your appetite now?" ”

"30 iron ingots for a meal is not a problem." Speaking of food, the little lizard is like meeting her own mother.

"Find an alley to park."

Chen Yi said that it was a left turn.

The car behind honked angrily, but Mao didn't use it.

found the back alley of a restaurant, Chen Yi dragged the homeless man in a suit and leather shoes down, and then ordered the little lizard to change back to a palm-sized state, and said, "Master will take you to eat well." ”

"What to eat?" The little lizard is constantly changing color excitedly, like a traffic light that can run.

"Eat guns."

Pushing open the door of the gun shop, a cold air rushed into my face.

Sitting at the counter was an old white American man who looked like an uncle living in a fast-food restaurant, with a belly as big as a leather ball.

"Look at it as you like." He looked Chen Yi up and down, and then lowered his head.

This is a supermarket-style gun shop, with six rows of counters extending more than 100 meters back, shaped like wooden shelves for cues in a small billiard room, and various long guns are hung with labels, neatly arranged.

There is more space behind the wooden cabinet, displaying things like "gun safes".

In addition to the owner, there was only one customer of Mexican descent with tattoos on his neck, standing in front of a glass vitrines to try out his pistol. Chen Yi pushed the supermarket-style shopping cart and found that he was looking at the 1911 style of the World War I collector's edition, with a price of 2,599 yuan, which was 10 times the price of a bargain.

Looking at it, Chen Yi's movements are not slow, he doesn't know much about guns, so he looks at the familiar words and throws them into the shopping cart, China's 56s semi-automatic, Remington, clock......

After a circle, the cart is full.

The little lizard said unresponsively, "You want me to eat these?" ”

"If I can't finish eating, I can save some at home." Chen Yi's expression was calm, but he felt that collecting firearms was also a cool thing.

It is normal for Chinese in New York to buy guns, and the boss looked at the magazine with a pistol and asked: "Your identity documents, proof of age and proof of residence." ”

Chen Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you want this?" ”

"Uh-huh." The boss said: "Have you ever been suspected of committing a crime in court?" Squatting in jail? Have you ever been expelled from the army......"

Chen Yi looked at the guns in the shopping cart with pity, and secretly thought: Or rob this goods?

"Hi, bro." Mexicans walked up from behind and smiled, "Let's go out and talk?" ”

Chen Yi went out with him suspiciously.

"$1,000, I'll buy it for you." Standing in the alley of the gun shop, the Mexican touched his pigtails and said proficiently.

"If you're lying to me, just wait to swim under Hudson." Chen Yi said, and took out two stacks of dollars in the ring, about 40,000 US dollars.

The $800 shotgun is a mid-range product, and the $40,000 can be bought and paid out, which is about 200,000.

Mexicans' eyes widen and they have an unusual love for green dollar bills.

"I won't lie to you." He licked his lips and walked into the gun shop, buying all the guns in the shopping cart that he had not yet packed.

"With bullets."

"How did you get in? You'll be caught. ”

"Add 500 yuan to you." Chen Yi is not shy at all, the legal risks are all borne by the other party, and he is not afraid of the American police.

When they heard that there was money, the Mexicans got excited and asked, "Do you want training?" We have tactical instructors who are better than Blackwater. ”

"Take the bullets." Chen Yi grabbed the trolley and watched the boss register the firearm number.

The little lizard muttered, "I don't like to eat sandwiches." ”

"Do you want to use dry poop as bullets?"

"Is that okay?"
