Chapter 016: Making Bows and Arrows
At this time, Xu Yang had already gone back to the first-class area with the girls and pulled the curtains to rest, but after dinner today, he didn't go back to rest, and still added firewood to the brazier (suitcase) to make the charcoal bonfire bright.
It didn't take long for him to take out the thick leopard tendons from the bucket of cold water, because he had been planning for this a few days ago, so he had prepared all the things that should have been prepared in advance, such as the wooden pier for use, he sharpened and polished it slightly, and made some kind of suitable mallet, which was just taken out at the moment, and kept beating the leopard tendons that had been soaked...
He only knew that after the sun-dried beef tendon was soaked in cold water, it would take more than 480 times to make a bowstring, and he would have to beat it more than 480 times, and he was a little unknown how long the leopard tendon would take, and it was unknown whether it could be used in the end, but it was definitely worth trying.
Maybe he can't make the strong bow of the ancients, let alone those top crafts, but he has learned the video, understands the principles and techniques, and makes a simple bow similar to the Hazha tribe, even if it is inferior, it is enough to kill people on a desert island!
However, before becoming that top weapon, there are still a lot of processes, and it is basically just an inferior product...
"You're going to make a bow and arrows?" Suddenly, there was a sound in his ears, and Xu Yang was so frightened that he almost pulled the hammer over!
But when he saw that the person who spoke, with bright eyes and bright teeth and attractive eyes against the firelight, he simply stopped it, and then continued to beat the leopard's tendons, and said: "Yes, on a desert island, the deterrent power of the bow and arrow is second only to the musket, and it can curb the greedy thoughts of some people, which is the most effective way. “
"What a plan... It turns out that you acquiesced in the robbery of those two people in order to delay time to carry out this project? Very good, it seems that I don't need to ask you what you are going to do anymore, you have already given me the answer. Qin Xiaoyun said with relief.
"Really? I thought that you didn't come out of sleep to fulfill your promise..."Xu Yangpi said.
Qin Xiaoyun was suddenly a little stunned, and then couldn't help muttering with some annoyance: "Really, I shouldn't have talked to you rascal..."
"Forget it, I didn't plan to hand over Liu Yue at that time, I was just teasing you at that time, what kind of lucky kiss or something, don't embarrass you, go to sleep." Xu Yang laughed.
I didn't think about it, just after I finished speaking, but I saw Qin Xiaoyun leaning over, her reddened pretty face was close to her, she could hear her faint gasp, her lips were slightly cool, and the soft touch made him feel a little relieved, and he wanted to reach out to keep this gentleness, but Qin Xiaoyun pulled it out and retreated slightly from his arms with his head in his mouth, which made Xu Yang feel a little stunned.
Not enough...
"Oh, I don't owe anyone anything, what I promised will be fulfilled, and the kiss I owe you will be repaid." Qin Xiaoyun said frankly.
Xu Yang was happy, stroked his lips, and said, "Okay, Mr. Qin is a good promise, and he is a particular person!" But can we stay longer next time? I haven't had time to react yet..."
"Are you still picking? Be careful, I give you an electric baton! Qin Xiaoyun couldn't help but say in shame.
Xu Yang retreated, and that's all he could seek, but after Qin Xiaoyun put away his fierce posture, he muttered in a low voice: "Next time, cough cough... I mean, if there is a next time, I'll pay attention, after all, I really don't have much experience in this area... Alright, so be it, I need to sleep, and I can't help you. ”
"Yes, if your hands are burned, you should take more care, exercise as little as possible, rest more, and improve the body's self-cell repair function during sleep." Xu Yang said.
Qin Xiaoyun smiled slightly, said goodnight to Xu Yang rarely, and then walked back lightly.
Xu Yang looked at the charming and lovely back, unconsciously smiled a little, as if he was charged, and continued to beat the leopard tendons, because the force should be even, so it can't be too fast and can't try to save trouble just knock casually, so it also needs Xu Yang to work time-consuming and labor-intensive like a pile driver, there are two or three leopard tendons, which is destined to be a chore.
Just when he thought that he might not be able to do it tonight, suddenly another voice came from his ears, and he was focused on it, and he immediately hammered it over!
But when I turned my head, I was stunned by the extremely well-developed parts...
You don't need to look at your face to know who it is... It's just a bit of a surprise.
"Liu Yue?" Xu Yang asked suspiciously.
"I'm confused, how did I get here, right?" Liu Yue sat down uninvited.
"It's really unusual, you don't usually take the initiative to come to me, it's still when no one is alone..."Xu Yang said.
"I'm here to thank you, anyway, you didn't hand me over to those two bastards today, I really appreciate it, thank you!" Liu Yue's rare courtesy.
"I said that if I send you out easily, then the other girls are also afraid of me, afraid that I will be capricious and distrust me, and then affect the hearts of the whole team, which is not good in the process of survival in the wilderness, so I am not only for you, but also for myself, you know what I mean? So, there's no need to be so serious. Xu Yang said with a smile.
"I don't understand these complicated principles, but I still have to thank you, because you don't know what this decision means to me..."Liu Yue helped her glasses, and then looked at Xu Yang with very serious eyes and said.
Xu Yang couldn't help but turn from laughing to crying and laughing, what's the matter with this girl, the more she asks her not to do anything, the more she has to do it, but fortunately, this time it is kind, which is relatively comfortable.
"Of course, if you want to compensate me in any way, I have no opinion, hehe." Xu Yang said without thinking.
Liu Yue froze for a moment, and Xu Yang immediately twitched from the bottom of her heart, it's too bad, if she said these frivolous words, she should feel that men are shameful again!
But unexpectedly, Liu Yue just said simply: "You better pay attention to this kind of behavior..."
"By the way, do you want to make a bow and arrow? I see you've been beating this tendon? Liu Yue asked again.
Xu Yang nodded, it seems that he understands this a lot.
Liu Yue reached out, took Xu Yang's wooden mallet, and directly helped to fight it, and when the force was recoiled, there was a bumpy picture, which really made Xu Yang swallow his spit, but he was afraid that Liu Yue would think he was obscene or something, so he didn't dare to look at it more, but he was inevitably attracted by the surging momentum...
"You will do the same? Very good... Then I'll leave this to you, I'm just going to finish the bow. Xu Yang said.
"No problem, you can get yours." Liu Yue said, continuing to toast, baba
Xu Yang was not idle, but he didn't expect that there would be an assistant to help, which saved too much trouble, and he hurriedly took out the oak wood collected in the woods today.
In a video god's commentary, he also said this problem, the firewood used in the bow of the nomads in the past is oak wood, that is, the material of the Mongolian oak tree, fortunately the climate of this wilderness is similar to Russia, as well as the northeast and north China regions, so similar firewood can be found, Xu Yang has found a suitable family two days ago, but there may be some differences in the category.
But it doesn't matter.
Without a machine, Xu Yang can only rely on manual work, but the Hadza people in Africa can do it, so how can he not do it by hand?
First, use the fragment knife in your hand to peel the wood, then use black charcoal to draw a rough shape on the smooth part of it, and then use the fragments of an airplane similar to a carving knife to start carving the wood, the auxiliary tool is the stone, use the force of the blow to push the "carving knife" into the wood, and then pry open the veneer, and repeat this action until the excess part is removed, leaving the painted part.
The two of them fought one vertically, and the other carved the bow, which can be regarded as the acceleration of the progress of the advancement...
"Xu Yang, in fact, Sister Yan is very good, although she got into trouble today, she may really have something to worry about... Anyway, I can live so far, some of her ideas have played a big role, she is very righteous, don't hate her because of today's incident, say that you want to drive her away or something, her reliance is on us, if you leave, how should you live, right? While he was working, Liu Yue came out with a sentence.
"She saved your life?" Xu Yang wondered.
"Sister Yan thought of a way, we tricked those two men into the jungle mouth, and then she pulled me into the bushes, and one of the two men was quickly gnawed on the neck, and the other ran away in fright, and was also knocked down and pulled away, but Sister Yan and I were fine." Liu Yue said.
Xu Yang muttered, he is indeed very smart, but no matter how he says this scheming, it sounds a bit infiltrating...
Of course, there is no way to survive in the wilderness.
"I see." Xu Yang nodded.
"So, Sister Yan is not as bad as you think... Speaking of which, he is also my benefactor. Liu Yue said.
"Okay, I'll try to get to know her better, after all, I want the team to work together, right?" Xu Yang said.
Liu Yue nodded and said, "It's good that you can think like this, don't go back on your word, I remember it." I'll talk to Sister Yan when I turn around..."
However, Xu Yang didn't think so simply in his heart, but had a little more concerns, some kind of concern about his nature...
