It can indeed be regarded as a great kindness, these villagers, gathered in this mountain village school, did not dare to go out, it can be said that they were waiting for death, but after Ling Tao came, he brought everyone to find food, took the lead in building the place where they lived, and gave them the courage to live, although Ling Tao only played a leading role, and most of the people who contributed were the villagers themselves, but his leading role was crucial.

"Taigong doesn't have to be like this, now that I'm here, I can't go out, and live with everyone, I can only say that I help each other and support each other to survive, don't say anything about great kindness," Ling Tao shook his head and said.

Zhou Taigong shook his head and didn't say anything, but he sighed secretly in his heart, from Ling Tao's words, he heard that Ling Tao was going to leave here sooner or later, he didn't belong to Zhoujia Village, in Zhou Taigong's opinion, people like Ling Tao had a broader world.

Soon after the meal, Ling Tao left the school again with the first group of villagers, and first went to the courtyard of Zhou Xiaogou's house, where he had been yesterday, and brought back a lot of pears with the bamboo baskets newly woven by the new villagers, so that the villagers could also replenish some fruit.

Maybe it was because Ling Tao and they had been here the day before, Zhou Xiaogou's family and his party did not encounter any danger, but Ling Tao, who already had bullets, would not be afraid even if he encountered a mutant cow similar to yesterday, as long as he did not encounter a difficult mutant beast like Zhu Yeqing.

In addition to moving back to the pears on this trip, they also searched Zhou Xiaogou's house inside and out, and brought all the iron tools they could see back to the school, such as hoes, iron plows, sickles, axes, kitchen knives, iron pots, etc., but all iron tools, as long as they saw it, there was absolutely no possibility of letting go.

Secondly, for example, what pots and jars have not been let go, as long as they can be used, they have been moved back, hey, now that Zhoujia Village is gathered in the school, everything can almost be said to be non-renewable resources, and every thing is useful.

In fact, life does not have too many magnificent waves, if you look at it carefully, it is just some running accounts, and small things such as eating, drinking, and sleeping are always the main theme.

After Zhou Xiaogou's party, the time had already reached the afternoon, and Ling Tao originally wanted to take the villagers out to see if he could get some useful things such as food and ironware to come back, but he was persuaded by Zhou Taigong, and said that it was too late, let everyone take a break, relax the tense mood of the day, and wait until the villagers adapt to it and then step by step.

Ling Tao thought about it, it was also the truth, it didn't matter to him, killing and encountering mutant beasts would only strengthen himself, but the villagers couldn't do it, and they couldn't withstand such a high-intensity dangerous life.

In this way, he was idle, and it was rare to have a relaxing time.

Sitting at the top of the school, looking at the busy villagers below, Ling Tao didn't know why, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, living is actually very simple, eating, drinking, and sleeping, but such a simple request makes everyone run around for these simple words all their lives, especially in today's environment, life, many times is actually just a luxury.

The villagers below erected the sharpened bamboos one by one to prevent the mutant beasts in the air from pounce down and hurt people, and based on these erected bamboo poles, they built shelves at a height of two or three meters from the ground, similar to the scaffolding on the construction site, so that not only can the erected bamboo poles be stronger, but also play a certain protective role.

Secondly, the villagers have inserted small sharpened bamboo pieces in various corners of the school's outer wall, which can play a certain defensive effect, especially against snakes and reptiles.

The blacksmith is using the iron tools he has collected to forge spear heads, trying to make more weapons.

The women are stepping up the processing of the meat that has been brought back, because there is no salt, it cannot be salted, and the temperature is quite high this season, the meat is not suitable for storage, so they can only smoke the meat, so that the meat can be preserved for a longer time and can be eaten, but in this way, the whole campus is ...... miasma.

Almost every one of the villagers is busy, each with their own things to do, although the current environment is still heavy, but the villagers' faces can no longer see the look of despair.

"All living beings, in fact, it is best to be alive", looking at the busy figures below, Ling Tao sighed again.

Immediately, his eyes were attracted to a corner of the school, where more than a dozen villagers were making bows and arrows, and he was curious, so he came down from the school's teaching building and walked towards that place.

Bows and arrows, when firearms and weapons did not appear, were once the most advanced weapons in the whole world, it can be said that the reason why human beings can come to dominate the world today, tracing back to the origin, is because of the invention of bows and arrows.

Bow and arrow Ling Tao has seen, Yu Miaomiao had a combination of scientific and technological products in his hand at that time, he is not an expert in bows and arrows, and he can't judge how powerful the bow in Yu Miaomiao's hand is, but this kind of primitive handmade zuò bow and arrow, Ling Tao has seen it for the first time.

Ling Tao himself forgot that he had seen it somewhere, and the process of making bows and arrows was very complicated, especially if he wanted to get a good bow, the time to make it would probably take more than a few years, so he was really curious about how these villagers made bows and arrows.

When Ling Tao came to the place where the bow and arrow were made, the villagers greeted him in a friendly manner.

"You're busy, I'll just take a look," Ling Tao said with a smile.

At this time, a black-faced old man with a wrinkled face came to Ling Tao's side and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ling, are you also interested in making zuò bows and arrows?" Hehe, the crude tricks of the croppers make you laugh."

"Old man, you are joking, you can make a bow and arrow, in the absence of firearms at this stage, it is the best weapon for the villagers, how can it be said to be a crude trick", Ling Tao shook his head and smiled.

"Hehe, what Mr. Ling said is ......", the old man didn't seem to be good at words, and he didn't know what to say after saying two sentences.

Ling Tao saw the villagers roasting old bamboo pieces that were nearly two centimeters thick, three centimeters wide and about one meter long on the fire, so he asked curiously: "Why are they doing this?"

Hearing Ling Tao's question, the black-faced old man suddenly came to his senses, and immediately began to explain to Ling Tao.

After his explanation, Ling Tao was stunned to find that making zuò bows and arrows is so simple, and it doesn't take too long, it can be made and used in one day, of course, the quality is definitely not comparable to those well-made bows and arrows and bows and arrows made by science and technology.

They make bows and arrows, select old bamboo boards with excellent toughness, about meters, polish them smooth, and then put the middle section on the fire to roast, so that the water in the bamboo can be released, so that the place roasted by the fire becomes soft, at this time, they will bend the bamboo board that is almost baked into a C shape, and fix the two ends of C with strips, which becomes a D shape (look the other way around), and then wait for it to cool at this time, or it can be cooled in water, the purpose is to make it set, this time takes at least a few hours.

When the shape is set, take it off and extinguish it, and the bamboo board forms a C-shape and is not deformed, you can make a bow, and in the inner arc of the C-shaped bamboo board, install a small wooden strip made of wood that just fits the arc, and wrap it tightly with cloth strips or twine, so that it can be fixed with the C-shaped bamboo board.

Then it's time to wind, and the C-shaped bamboo board is wound upside down, and it becomes a B-shaped bow, so that it can be used, which is really simple, and the bamboo board is extremely tough, and the bow and arrow power of the zuò are not bad.

Nowadays, the situation in Zhoujia Village is relatively simple, but Rao is like this, and they still use the qiē at their disposal to make weapons such as zuò bows and arrows.

The bow body is easy to make, but the bowstring is troublesome, and without a good bowstring, it is all for nothing.

But never underestimate the wisdom of the working people, these villagers, in the absence of a suitable bowstring, take local materials, use bamboo, slice it into very thin bamboo slices, and then put it in water to boil, 'cooked' and then beaten, and then get excellent toughness of bamboo fiber, after drying, add the twine that can be found, and then rub it into a bowstring with a thickness of two or three millimeters by hand, and it is extremely stressed, but it is more than enough to use as a bowstring.

After listening to the introduction of the black-faced man, Ling Tao was simply amazed, and sighed: "You guys are so powerful, you can think of such a method, in this way, tomorrow morning, wouldn't everyone be able to equip a bow?"

"Yes, tomorrow when the villagers go out, they will be able to use bows and arrows, hehe, I can't afford Mr. Ling's wonderful praise, in fact, this craft is passed down from the experience accumulated by our ancestors for generations" The black-faced old man heard Ling Tao's words, and the wrinkles on his face relaxed a lot.

"Hehe, I'm also looking forward to it, with bows and arrows, the safety of the villagers has been greatly improved, but I don't know how powerful these bows and arrows are", Ling Tao nodded.

"Tomorrow Mr. Ling will know, by the way, these are just bows and arrows for the villagers, Mr. Ling, you also have them, but they are specially made, the cow you killed yesterday, his horns, will be made into a bow for Mr. Ling, but it will be a little slower, it may take a few days", the black-faced old man smiled.

"Horns? So how do hard things make bows? Is it also roasted over fire"? Ling Tao was surprised.

"That's not it, the horn is roasted and crispy when it's roasted over fire, how can it be like that, in fact, the method is very simple, that is, use the sour soup of our rural sauerkraut to soak it, and soak it soft to make zuò bows and arrows", the black-faced old man said proudly.

Ling Tao was stunned, he didn't expect these villagers to know that using acid to make the horns soften, in fact, it was the reaction of acid and calcium, similar to drinking vinegar to make fish bones softer.

The villagers may not understand such chemical principles, but they have already used it in their lives, and wisdom is often hidden in inconspicuous corners......

(Ahem, the method of making a bamboo bow is completely feasible, don't learn to do it, I am not responsible for hurting people, well, as for the method of making a bow with horns, it can't be said that I am blind, in short, it's quite reliable to think about, and then, ask for a recommendation ticket...... ）
