Volume 1 The Wind Rises Chapter 17 Be Prepared
Wu Lun pointed the same and introduced him: "This fire sickle is much smaller than the one you usually use at home, in order to save space and weight. I won't say much about what it's for, it's very convenient to make a fire when you're in the field. Short knives are practical and can do many things, such as fighting, assassination, and hijacking. It can also be used for daily use, cutting something, eating, digging a pit or something. This short knife also has a serration under the cutting edge, which can be used to saw things. In addition, you can insert this into the hidden groove of the belt before fighting people, which is convenient to use.
This flying claw is about a foot long, and it is used for climbing. Now that you have practiced Pingzi Walking, the speed on the flat ground is okay, but the upward climbing is still a lot worse, at most you can climb over a bungalow or a low courtyard wall, and the higher ones need to use equipment. Later, if you learn the martial art of climbing and leaping, this will be very useless. Also, in order to reduce weight and save space, this rope is made relatively thin, which can only bear the weight of an adult, and it will break if it is overweight.
Liu Jizu stretched out his hand and tugged at it, and found that he really couldn't use too much force.
Wu Lun then picked up the folding crossbow and said, "This is a kind of conventional secret weapon made by our sect, equipped with five featherless arrows. Although the workmanship is not as good as the sect that is good at making tools like Zhige City, it is also much stronger than the general sect. This power is not small, there is lethality within three zhang, and it will not work if it is far away. The disadvantage is that you can only fire one short arrow at a time, and you have to adjust the crossbow in advance. You can prepare in advance when you need it, and you look at the method. ”
After that, he began to demonstrate.
Liu Jizu first saw Wu Lun's hand with a rectangular object five inches long and more than two inches wide. I saw Wu Lun open the crossbow arm and handle in the same way, and hang the bowstring. It turned out that for ease of carrying, the two bow arms and the handle were folded up. Wu Lun took a three-inch-long wooden arrow from the side, there was a card slot at the end of the arrow shaft, he put the card slot down, buckled the bowstring, and put the small arrow in, only to hear a click, the card slot was stuck.
Wu Lun pointed to a small wrench next to the handle and said: "This is a bracket, in order to prevent misfire, this bracket will be triggered twice before it is launched, you can try it once." ”
Wu Lun found a wooden stake from the outside and put it in a corner of the room. Liu Jizu took it, thinking that this thing couldn't be compared with the guns of later generations, it was too much like a toy. And this thing doesn't look safe, it's too easy to get angry. But when he received it, he found that such a small thing was actually very oppressive and exquisitely made. He shook it, and the little arrow wouldn't fire or fall out. Then he aimed at the stake, pulled the machine bracket slightly, but he could only pull half at a time, and then after releasing his strength, he pulled it a little harder, and then heard a bang, and the small arrow had been nailed to the stake.
He ran over and found that a third of the iron arrows had been nailed into it, and he pulled the small arrows off with all his might, and he couldn't put it down, like a recruit who had gotten a gun for the first time, and he couldn't get excited. Suddenly, he remembered the hidden weapon that the master had given him before, and hurriedly took it out to compare, and found that it was not comparable in terms of material or workmanship.
Seeing this, Wu Lun smiled and said: "No need to compare, it is indeed much worse, even if I turn in one, the academy will not be able to do it." Later, you can take it home and look at it slowly, but it's best not to let your family see it, and you can see what this pair of chopsticks is famous for. ”
Liu Jizu had no choice but to put down the crossbow arrow and pick up the chopsticks. As soon as he got his hands on it, he showed a surprised expression, because the chopsticks were a little pressing. But looking at the appearance, it is an ordinary bamboo chopstick, and a closer look reveals that the tip of the chopsticks is silver. He thought for a moment and weighed his weight again, "Master, this is made of silver, isn't it?" ”
Wu Lun nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, I can see it so quickly." Then tell me what else can these silver chopsticks be used for besides eating?"
"I know this, silver chopsticks can test poison. Liu Jizu replied without thinking.
Wu Lun was stunned for a moment, "I actually know this, but there is a problem with this statement, the sect has tried it, and found that this silver only has an effect on poisons such as arsenic." Moreover, the more impure the arsenic, the better the effect, after touching the silver, the silver will turn black, but the effect on other poisons will be gone. Of course, arsenic is relatively easy to obtain compared to other highly toxic drugs, and ordinary pharmacies have it, so people use arsenic more, so this silver chopsticks do have a certain anti-poison effect. But it's just a function, and then you think about it, what else does it do?"
Liu Jizu gestured with chopsticks, looking at the tips of the chopsticks that shone with silver light, "I know, you can make weapons!" said and made a few stabbing movements with chopsticks.
Wu Lun nodded, "Yes, the chopsticks are so sharp, they can indeed be used to make weapons and hidden weapons, but the silver is relatively soft, so it can only be used for emergencies." Think again, what's the use?"
Liu Jizu scratched his ears and cheeks, but he couldn't think of any other use.
At this time, Wu Luncai said with a smile: "Chopsticks are made of silver, and they are disguised as bamboo, which is to prevent others from discovering that they are silver." Therefore, this silver chopsticks can also be used as money, which is its most important hidden function. ”
Liu Jizu doesn't spend much money, and his family basically uses copper money, so he has always been a little uncomfortable with the concept of silver.
Wu Lun knew that he hadn't been out much, didn't know how to be poor, and didn't understand the importance of money, so he continued: "When you go out, what you are most afraid of is that you have no money. If you think about it, when you go out, it costs money to eat, take a car, and stay in a hotel. It costs money to ask a doctor to buy medicine when you are sick, it costs money to buy clothes when it is cold in winter, and it costs money to invite a friend to a guest. What if you lose your money, get it stolen or run out of money, it's a matter of life and death!
This pair of chopsticks has two weights, can be exchanged for 2,000 yuan, we have cheap food here, about 2,000 catties of wheat, 1,000 catties of processed flour, even if it is placed in the city, the price is a lot more expensive, you can also exchange more than 400 catties of grain, grab a few pairs of medicine. Don't underestimate these two taels of silver, sometimes a penny can stump a hero, with these two taels of silver for emergency, maybe you can tide over the difficulties. ”
Liu Jizu secretly thought to himself that he must pay attention to the issue of money in the future, otherwise he may cause big trouble.
Wu Lun saw his solemn expression and knew that he had listened, "I won't talk much about the role of this whetstone, equipment, weapons, and hidden weapons must be taken out and sharpened from time to time to prevent rust." The sharpness and maintenance of these things can determine your life and death at a critical moment, so you must not be careless. Also, this whetstone has been processed into a diamond shape, and it can also be used as a hidden weapon to deal with emergencies, don't you know a little hidden weapon technique, just right to use.
Then he put down the whetstone and picked up the sewing kit, "Will you use this?"
Of course Liu Jizu would, he would have done this in his previous life, because without his parents to take care of him, he could only rely on himself for these things, he nodded.
Wu Lun was a little surprised when he saw it, "This is rare! When you go out, your coat, pants, shoes, socks, bags, and inner armor will inevitably be damaged, so you can only sew them yourself." And this needle and thread are specially made by the sect, specially boiled in boiling water, and then soaked in potions, and can also be used to stitch up wounds, I will teach you the method later. When my master taught me, he also said that when no one can find food in the wild, this needle can be made into a fishing hook to fish, and this line can withstand it. ”
Liu Jizu took a closer look at the needle and thread, and found that the needle was an ordinary steel needle, and the thread was silk thread, which was quite strong and rolled into a ball, and the needle was inserted on it, and the thread had been threaded.
Wu Lun continued: "There is also this first-aid kit, which is also specially made by the sect, and there is a roll of boiled linen cloth in it, which is used to bandage wounds. One pack of gold sore medicine for trauma. A pack of marching scatter is used to escape the heat and relieve vomiting and diarrhea. One pack of antidote, which is used to relieve general poisoning. A pack of elderberry is used for fracture bones. One pack of heat-clearing powder for typhoid fever. These are all good remedies for curing diseases and saving lives that the sect has spent a lot of effort to collect, and the amount is not much. You have to learn how to use it, you can't waste it, the usage package is written on it. ”
Liu Jizu picked up the medicine bag and looked at it carefully. Since he had learned a lot of medical knowledge in his previous life, he attached great importance to medicine. From the moment he arrived, he found that the health care situation in the village was extremely poor, and a small illness could kill someone. It is not easy for children to grow up smoothly in a rich family, let alone in a family like theirs. So when he has a little mobility, he pays special attention to his physical condition and begins to improve the home environment little by little. That's how I paid attention, he also had a serious illness, and the doctor Mr. Tian paid for him to take care of him. Although he has never been sick since he practiced martial arts, he knows the importance of medicine in this era, so he attaches great importance to this first aid kit and carefully learns the instructions for the use of each medicine.
Wu Lun saw that he was studying seriously, so he didn't interrupt him, and waited for him to finish reading before he continued: "You have to tie your mouth tightly with this first-aid kit, this bag is made of oilcloth, which can be waterproof for a short time." Finally, this small packet is sweat medicine, which is actually a packet of anesthetic, which can make people unconscious for a short time, and can only be used when performing special tasks or healing people, and this packet of medicine can also be put in the first aid kit. By the way, there is also this packet of fine salt, which also has some medicinal value, but it is mainly for you in the field in case of emergency, so put it in the first aid kit together. ”
Liu Jizu has studied cooking and knows a little medical knowledge, of course he knows the basic role and importance of salt, and salt is very expensive at this time. But he didn't want to put salt in the first aid kit, but wanted to make another seasoning kit with all the seasonings he could put in, so that he could eat delicious food wherever he went.
Wu Lun saw that he had put away the first-aid kit before continuing to preach: "I have introduced all these ten things, you have to slowly familiarize yourself with the structure of this bag, keep practicing, and do not need to look at it to quickly take out the things you need." Sometimes life and death can be decided in a split second, so the more familiar the better, and the faster the better. You'll also have to get used to the weight and restraint of these equipment and treasure bags, adjusting your movements, moves, and power points, otherwise it will affect the speed and balance of your moves.
In addition, if you have anything important, as long as you can put it in, you can also put it in, which is relatively safe and not easy to lose or steal. Don't let people look through your treasure bag, and don't snoop on other people's, this is also the rule on the rivers and lakes, unless you are caught or killed, remember?
Finally, you have to remember that this skin bag and bag are made of skin, and they can be cooked and eaten in an emergency. ”
