evening

"Tomorrow we won't be working, so let's come and practice the sling."

Lawrence stood on top of his statue and slid down, arranging tomorrow's work to the working woman and the child.

Because it is more troublesome to go up and down the mountain, the two or three hours of travel is very time-taking, so gradually some people live in nearby houses, so that they can sleep longer every day.

This month the town was bustling with activity again, and the Búmithean and the Kloda children played together, and soon became acquainted with each other.

There were no children among the Durela, the oldest being less than a year old, but the largest numbered.

These children must learn the language, and Lawrence can't count on these children at the moment, and the priority is still Clauda and Bhumesius.

The little ones in these two places, especially those with fathers at home, are generally strong and tall, making them very suitable for serving as reservists.

Soon a Bhumethean woman asked, "Do you have any eggs to eat when you stop working?" ”

Lawrence replied: "Tomorrow everyone here to practice the sling, a group of adults, a group of children, whoever has the right sling, and the strength is great, a hen will be rewarded to whoever has it, I think the best of the top ten people have it, and the rest depends on the situation." ”

The making of a slingling is very simple and can be made using simple materials such as sisal and stones.

It's hard to say about the woman, but the little ones in the neighborhood are fun-loving periods in their own right, especially with the most primitive obsession with hunting and fighting, and it is easy to master this technique.

Even compared to adults, teenage children are the most aggressive group of people.

Lawrence is confident that these little ones will not let themselves down.

The Kloda man came out and asked, "Can we also participate?"

Lawrence looked at the sky reverently and said, "Yes!" ”

"No matter where you are, whether you are a man or a woman, an adult or a child, even if you are not a believer in the God of the Stars, you can participate, and we will tolerate all good people, and we will also destroy those who do evil!"

"This is not only a game, but also a technology to protect your children, your mothers, your husbands and wives, friends and partners and homes in the future, I hope everyone will take it seriously, as long as they are willing to protect our estates and towns, they are one of us!"

"If there is no sling, I will bring the slings tomorrow, and if there are no slings at home, I can share the technology and ropes with those who need them, so that more people can become stronger!"

"The little ones should also help each other and the rest of the little ones, who may not be your own brothers, but they will protect your mother and brother, and they will protect your back!"

"We are God's people! Live under the same sky! ”

Lawrence encouraged everyone to help each other, and would also give the hens that lay eggs to those who performed well, so that they could have private property that others would envy.

On the way back, Kehalan felt that Lawrence didn't need to do so.

"With five witches protecting you, what are you worried about? Those Vakiri have been blocked by my witchcraft on the other side of the mountain, and even if they do, they will be consumed by the flames, and we don't need to do such drudgery all day. ”

For the past month, the daily work of going down the mountain seems to Kharan to be excessive.

Lawrence explains: "The slingers are very useful to us, they are the best fighters in the future against external invasions, and I am also developing a sense of battle. ”

Kehalan didn't understand Lawrence's thoughts, and said speechlessly, "But you are counting on a group of mortals, especially since there are many women and children who farm the land among these people. ”

Mortals can indeed defeat wizards, just like more than a dozen warriors can kill a berserker steadily, and the power of witches is not invincible.

As long as you know how to deal with it, witches and witches are like bears and wild boars, and even the largest beasts will die at the hands of hunters.

Lawrence replied, "I don't just look at the present, but also the future, and you don't understand that." ”

Lawrence rode away on his sheep, and after thinking about it, Kharlan didn't ask.

It's not that Lawrence doesn't want to explain, it's that he doesn't know how.

From a long time ago, Lawrence felt that those children were dangerous, and if they were not guided, they would not only grow up to be unable to help, but would also cause a series of problems.

The simple and kind Emma Bull, the barbaric and backward Craigfrison and others are all two sides of the same coin.

Human nature is not an absolute thing in itself, let alone a simple definition.

"Plunder", "fighting", and "revenge" are all human instincts, and people in civilized areas need not be so bloody to survive because of their superior environment, so they need rules to suppress their own barbarism.

If the backward areas do not have enough food and clothing, and if they have to be taken away from them when their survival is difficult, and they are taught not to plunder, not to take revenge, and not to fight, then they are mentally castrated, and it is an arrogant act of wanting to deprive the other side of their nationality.

Fortunately, the nature of struggle, whether civilized or backward, is innate, and it is a nature that cannot be completely erased by any education and environment, and it is a double-edged sword endowed by nature to human beings.

Lawrence never stopped the plundering of the Pometheans, nor did he oppose their revenge.

But at this point, Lawrence had to step up and guide these Bomethean boys to put the fight on the outside.

Lawrence, who had provided accommodation, food, and a safe environment, was qualified to serve as a guide for these Bomethean teenagers.

Everyone can eat well, you don't need to bully others to get enough food, you don't need to bully others to get the toys you want, and you don't need to bully others to get the appreciation of adults.

Outside enemies will attack here, they will take our mothers and kill them, they will kill our brothers and sisters and livestock, they will abuse and kill us.

We can only survive if we unite and all become strong and powerful.

When Lawrence returned, he began to make more slings, and asked Emma and the others to come and weave the slings together.

Between the two ropes of the same length is a caplet made of leather, in which stones are placed.

Grab the ends of two ropes and swing them around your head, and when the speed reaches your maximum speed in the fourth or fifth lap, release a strap and the stones in the leather bag are thrown in the direction of the tangent.

Iron blocks that could be processed into agricultural tools were already being produced in the blacksmiths, and women who farmed the land were not suitable for weapons such as swords, or long-handled weapons such as hoes and shovels were more suitable for ordinary women.

Men were making ironware, women and children were making wooden shields, or carrying stones.

Only a few people manage farmland and livestock, and more than 40 acres of land actually don't need so many people to be busy.

The next day soon came, and Lawrence took the storage and the newly made sling, and caught fifteen more chickens and put them in cages and went down the mountain.

As the number of chickens multiplies, it is necessary to disperse some of the chickens into individual households.

When Lawrence arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he found that many people still carried stones from afar to place behind the sculptures.

The Bhumishu are considered by the Kurs to be mountain people, because there are mountain walls near the town, so stones can be obtained nearby.

The burning and blasting method can blow out cracks in the stones on the mountain wall, choose a stone wall that can be blown from the top down, and constantly burn the fire on the mountain and pour water, and the people below can quickly pick up a large amount of rubble.

In the original mill, there were a lot of stone carving tools, and sometimes two or three hundred people would come down to help.

Under various favorable conditions, the stone statues have now been piled up to a height of thirty meters.

At first, large stones were used, but later the higher the height, the fewer large stones were pulled up with rope cranes, and basically all of them were small stones and gravel.

Working together is a great way to get to know each other, develop a sense of community, and exercise your body.

"Let's rest for a while, today is mainly to practice slinging."

Beoff came over and shouted happily: "I am the most accurate, I can make a spark from a stone on a stone!" ”

Since Beoff worked with Reglo, he has eaten and drunk several grades higher than at home, and his body has been much stronger for a while.

The most important thing is courage.

In the past, Beoff was not very powerful, and he was not the boss or anything like that in a group of teenagers.

After working with Reglo, coupled with the influence of Freeson, he gradually became a powerful figure among his friends.

Self-confidence is very important for teenagers, sometimes more so than mere strength.

There are some things that affect a person's personality during their teenage years.

Lawrence smiled: "It's not something you say if you're powerful, you won't know until you compete." ”

Beoff quickly said: "Then let's start now!" I'll be the first to come! ”

Lawrence looked at the rest of the women and children, and there were many Croda men eager to try.

"Wait, be fair when it comes to treating our partners and families."

"This time I'll come first, I won't bully the small, if anyone can hit more accurately than me, then he must be a good slinger."

Lawrence is not afraid of being embarrassed, and the fact that he was beaten and ran all over the ground was not fabricated.

As a priest and prophet, it is normal to have shortcomings, after all, everyone is not perfect except for God.

"If you don't know how to play, come and see how I play, and if you can play, take a look at it for reference, and you can share the posture you think is more reasonable."

Lawrence had actually been secretly exercising in the mountains alone for a long time, and after understanding that he was really not suitable for charging into battle, Lawrence found many alternative means to ensure his combat effectiveness.

The slings in the hand are made of pigskin and wool rope, which looks cleaner and neater, and has more specifications than the hemp rope slings made by ordinary people.

Lawrence fastened the four looped bifurcations on one side of the slingstone to the middle three fingers, and placed a stuck baseball-shaped stone into a caplet that resembled the skin of a slingshot.

Grasp the pimple of rope on the other side of the sling, which is tied into a clasp shape, so that you can grip it more tightly when grabbing it.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lawrence quickly spun the sling, and the stone was carried by Lawrence and spun around a few times, and after one side of the slings was released, it flew out by inertia.

The stronger the arm strength, the greater the inertia, and the more fierce the flight speed!

The stone quickly hit the large tree in front of it, leaving a spherical dent in the trunk.

"The host was amazing! It's so accurate! Sophia was the first to jump up and praise Lawrence.

Lawrence was very proud, and hitting the target from 30 meters out was already good.

After the great Ravenfeather Prophet made a move, the rest of the men and children began to think of comparisons.

Struggle is instinctive, especially after knowing that Lawrence can do these things, and the rest of us want to try their skills.

Not only is this not illegal, but it is also encouraged, and even if you are better than Lawrence, you will not be beheaded, but you will be rewarded.

Especially under the gaze of the rest of the girls and their mothers, the boys and men want to show off their hands.

Lawrence soon went to work at the statue, standing high above and watching the people below who practiced slingling, and it didn't take long for them to form a sling.
