Chapter 33 There is another craft
Zhang Xiaochi is very familiar with the production method of bows and crossbows, and now as long as he finds the materials to make bows and crossbows, and spends some time, he can make bows and crossbows.
In this era, materials are limited, Zhang Xiaochi found a cow tendon in the second aunt's house, which can make a bowstring, as for the main body of the bow and crossbow, the strength of the branches is definitely not good, for this reason, Zhang Xiaochi made a special trip to Qingwa Town, came to the blacksmith shop, gave the blacksmith a drawing, and asked him to forge the things on the drawing.
However, the blacksmith told him that this thing could not be forged, and the blacksmith told Zhang Xiaochi that he would only forge relatively hard iron products, and would not forge tough things.
For this reason, Zhang Xiaochi had to do it himself, working from day to night, and finally completed the production of everything.
"I didn't expect you to have this craft!"
Of course, the blacksmith knows Zhang Xiaochi, the 'celebrity' of Qingwa Town, since the afternoon, he has been watching Zhang Xiaochi strike iron, the whole process has not been missed, when he saw Zhang Xiaochi succeeded, the blacksmith was more excited than Zhang Xiaochi himself.
Zhang Xiaochi just smiled, and then asked him how much money he needed.
"You don't have to give it, if you confiscate my money, I will take a big advantage!"
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaochi did not insist, the two sides knew that Zhang Xiaochi borrowed the blacksmith shop for free to build the things he needed, and the blacksmith learned the forging technique on the side.
Of course, if you calculate carefully, Zhang Xiaochi did suffer a loss.
But he doesn't care, he doesn't plan to rely on this line of food to eat, even if he is stolen, it doesn't matter.
Taking the forged things, Zhang Xiaochi left Qingwa Town in the dark.
Walking on the country road at night, because there was no moon and no lighting tools, Zhang Xiaochi had to carefully move along the path.
After walking like this for about 20 minutes, suddenly, there was a tiger roar on both sides of the road.
Hearing this voice, Zhang Xiaochi chuckled in his heart, the surrounding black lights were blinding, and the visibility was less than one meter.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaochi subconsciously squatted down and began to look around carefully.
Maybe it was because of the tiger roar just now, the quiet needle drop around me could be heard, and I waited restlessly for about five or six minutes, but the tiger roar still did not appear, and the quiet environment around was broken by the cry of unknown small animals again.
Hearing this voice, Zhang Xiaochi breathed a sigh of relief, the small animals will only continue to bark when the danger is gone, it seems that the tiger has left here.
Zhang Xiaochi didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly stayed away from the scene as fast as possible.
Thirty minutes later, Zhang Xiaochi finally came to the entrance of the village.
Looking at the campfire burning at the campsite at the entrance of the village, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally returned to his stomach.
From Chishui Town back to Wagang Village, it only takes about half an hour to walk normally, but this time it took more than ten minutes to come back in the dark, and the road was quite difficult.
Adjust your mindset and pass by the campsite, where hunters gather to drink and fight, and some campfires are set up with fragrant barbecues.
"Xiaochi, why did you come back so late?"
At this moment, a familiar voice came from inside the campsite, and with the help of the light of the bonfire, the figure of the second aunt appeared in sight.
"I went to town to do some errands, so it was a little late."
Zhang Xiaochi explained with a smile, his eyes fell on the second aunt, and he asked curiously.
"Second aunt, you are still here so late, do you still want to go hunting in the mountains?"
"No, just go around when you're full."
The second aunt replied.
"It's good if not."
"Then I'll go back first."
Walking on the way home, Zhang Xiaochi's face was solemn, and when he came back, he was sure that he heard it correctly, that sound was indeed a tiger roar, that is to say, the beast that has been active in the mountains all year round has come out of the sacred mountain.
"I'll find a way to talk to you tomorrow."
Zhang Xiaochi muttered to himself in a low voice, usually, the reason why he didn't say it was because everything was just an inference, but tonight he heard it with his own ears, and he naturally couldn't stand by and watch.
Besides, why not help others and improve your relationship with the villagers?
Thinking about it, I came to the door of my house before I knew it.
The door of the courtyard room was closed, and the room was lit up, and Lin Xiaoxi should be waiting for him.
Easily jumped over the fence courtyard wall, came to the outside of the house and knocked on the door, and Lin Xiaoxi's cautious voice immediately came from inside.
"Who?!"
"Creek, it's me."
When the words fell, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the house, and soon, the door opened from the inside, and a nervous Lin Xiaoxi appeared in sight.
As soon as the two met, Lin Xiaoxi suddenly threw herself into Zhang Xiaochi's arms and cried heartbreakingly.
"Okay, why are you crying?"
Zhang Xiaochi gently stroked Lin Xiaoxi's long silky hair, and couldn't help but ask softly.
"I haven't come back so late, I'm worried...... I'm worried that something will happen to my husband! ”
Lin Xiaoxi choked up and said.
"Don't worry, the person who can make me have an accident hasn't been born yet."
Zhang Xiaochi was moved in his heart, gently pushed Lin Xiaoxi away, helped her wipe away her tears, and then said with a smile.
"Creek, show you something."
After speaking, Zhang Xiaochi showed Lin Xiaoxi the parts forged by himself.
"Husband, is this the material used to make a bow and crossbow?"
Lin Xiaoxi's eyes widened, she had never seen these things.
"Yes."
Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, he moved a stool for Lin Xiaoxi to sit down, lit a few candles in a row, and then began to assemble and manufacture a bow and crossbow.
During the service, disassembling and assembling weapons is a necessary skill for every service member, and Zhang Xiaochi, as a special operations personnel, is naturally very proficient.
I saw him in front of Lin Xiaoxi, and began to operate skillfully.
And Lin Xiaoxi sat on the chair, looking at his man with a shocked face, his smooth technique, exquisite technique, all the movements were done in one go, and none of them were superfluous.
About a tea time later, Lin Xiaoxi, who was fascinated, suddenly got up, because at this time, Zhang Xiaochi had already completed the production and debugging.
"Husband, are you alright?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked excitedly.
"Alright."
Zhang Xiaochi replied with a smile, he looked at the bow and crossbow in his hand, although it looked a little rough, but the feel was not much different from the one he used before crossing.
Now, only the arrow feathers are missing.
"Husband, can I take a look?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked nervously.
"Of course, that's for you."
Zhang Xiaochi smiled slightly, looked at the bow and crossbow with satisfaction, and then handed it to Lin Xiaoxi.
When the bow and crossbow fell in her hand and felt the residual temperature on the cold weapon, Lin Xiaoxi's heart became more and more excited, and under the guidance of Zhang Xiaochi, she used her hands and feet at the same time to try to pull the bow and crossbow.
"Husband, what should you do next?"
Lin Xiaoxi asked nervously.
