Chapter 24 (I) A Stone Hunting Bow
Chapter 24 (Part I) A Stone Hunting Bow
"No, I remember that we only have a firewood knife and a hunting bow at home?" Ma Li saw that Grandpa had a firewood knife on his belt and a hunting bow on his back, and he actually carried a firewood knife and a hunting bow in his hand.
Sets, clamps, cages, nets, cellars, clipping scissors, pressing wood, firewood knives, hunting bows, hunting dogs and other hunting equipment, or hunting wild animals by other methods, are called hunting activities.
The people in the mountain village have no special interest.
Generally speaking, in addition to being able to exercise, you can also get some hunting products such as hares, pheasants, and wild ducks.
This improves the lives of your family.
Why not!
"Well, I went to Yu Po's house just now and borrowed you a firewood knife, a hunting bow and a barrel of arrows!" Grandpa handed over the firewood knife, hunting bow and arrows to Ma Li.
Although Yu Po is a widow, she still has a firewood knife and hunting bow in the house, and even arrows that are easy to grind and break.
If the wood knife is not sharp, it will be faster if you sharpen the edge of the knife a little.
Generally speaking, if the hunting bow is broken, it will be more troublesome and needs to be repaired again!
Arrows are also troublesome and can be easily lost and damaged, so it is rare to find hunting bows and arrows from villagers.
It's not that people in the mountains don't want to lend it, the key is that once it is lent out, it will be gone when you want to use it!
Yu in-law's house said that her family's firewood knives, hunting bows and arrows can be borrowed often.
One is that no one in her family uses these to hunt;
Another one, as long as it is not damaged, she can send some prey to her to fight tooth sacrifices.
Of course, if it is damaged, it will naturally be repaired, and if it is not repaired, it will be compensated!
"Oh! It's just that this hunting bow is a little light, and I don't dare to use too much force. Ma Li continued to push the cart briskly with one hand.
With one hand, the firewood knife was inserted into the belt, and then he took the hunting bow and gently checked it, feeling that the weight was very light.
The power of such a light hunting bow is naturally much worse, and it is a bit overkill with Ma Li's powerful strength, but now it can only be used!
Be careful not to break this hunting bow with too much force!
Fortunately, this time it was not specifically for hunting, but just to pull some salt spring water back to make salt.
If you really encounter a wild beast, it's just a matter of taking the sheep by the hand!
"This is only a one-stone hunting bow, you use it a little more leisurely, don't use too much force!" Grandpa immediately reminded, lest Ma Li's strength be too strong and the hunting bow would be broken.
One stone is about 100 kilograms.
There are ups and downs, and each era is different in one stone.
Some dynasties may be 3 or 50 kilograms, but here 100 kilograms are used for better expression.
"It's only one stone, it's a bit light, I have to use a 3-4 stone hunting bow to be enough!" Ma Li said a little boredly.
If you really want to have a hunting bow that is easy to use, you really need a 3-4 stone hunting bow with the strength of a horse, but such a powerful hunting bow naturally needs to be specially made, and even the village can't find such a 3-4 stone hunting bow, and the most 2 stones are already very good!
But no one wants to lend this kind of hunting bow.
The price of a hunting bow for 2 stone is at least several times the price of 1 stone.
Originally, the villagers regarded the bow hunting treasure as if it were life.
Being able to borrow a 1 stone hunting bow is already a lot of face!
To this day, I can still borrow a hunting bow for 2 stones.
The point is that this time it was just pulling salt spring water, not really hunting.
So Grandpa naturally doesn't need to borrow Ma Li's hunting bow.
The average adult has a strength of 300 catties, and Ma Li may only have a strength of about 900 catties a few days ago, but now he already has the strength of more than 1,000 catties.
I'm afraid that in a few days, with the strength of Ma Li's continuous progress, even if it is a 3-4 stone hunting bow, it may not be easy!
If you have the ability, you can make a hunting bow yourself, or if you have the money, go to the blacksmith shop in the township to have a look, and I don't know if there is a master who can refine a hunting bow of 3-4 stones!" Grandpa also knows that Ma Li's strength and hunting bow are somewhat unmatched, but the current conditions can only be like this.
The point is that there is not enough time, even if Ma Li goes to make a hunting bow at this time, it will be too late!
Besides, now Ma Li is constantly increasing his strength, and he doesn't know when he will be able to stabilize his strength, even if he hits a hunting bow of 3-4 stones in advance, I'm afraid it won't be able to be used again in a few days!
Grandpa really doesn't have so much money to toss him!
Adults have 300 pounds of strength.
Because of the need for continuous archery, most of the hunters in the village are suitable for using one-stone hunting bows.
Although Ma Li also has a strength of 1,000 catties, considering the continuous shooting, the hunting bow also used is lighter, about 4 stones.
Unless, one day, Ma Li becomes a man who engages in hunting.
specializes in hunting animals and exchanging them for money, so Grandpa has to think about it, but it doesn't seem to be needed at the moment.
"Yes, my brother is very powerful, and he will definitely be able to make a hunting bow. Ma Xiaomei, who was lying in the car, suddenly sat up and said with a look of adoration.
Ma Xiaomei is still looking forward to Ma Li hunting in the mountains to make food for her!
Ma Xiaomei still admires Ma Li very much, especially recently Ma Li is too good at tossing, not only can she cook grilled fish, she can cook home-cooked food, and even be a chef in a few days, selling grilled fish on the street to make money......
"Okay!" Ma Li looked at Ma Xiaomei and smiled dotingly.
Stick the knife on your belt.
Hunting bows and arrows are not very convenient to carry.
It was not carried on his back like Grandpa, but it was still very easy to pick up on a cart.
In order to obtain food in the mountains, the villagers had to find ways to hunt wild beasts.
In many cases, they even choose a very primitive way to hunt for food.
When agriculture and animal husbandry in the mountains were not enough to meet the needs of the villagers, hunting was an important source of food.
But beyond that, hunting has a multifaceted meaning.
You can train troops, you can have fun, and you can even select talents.
"Big baby, I see that you also practice archery with my hunting bow on weekdays, has your level improved a little?" Grandpa suddenly remembered that although Ma Li had practiced archery before, he didn't dare to compliment his level.
It's just that now Ma Li is doing everything very remarkably, so he didn't dare to underestimate Ma Li's archery level for a while, so he asked casually!
Grandpa actually still expects Ma Li to make a difference in archery.
In this way, you can receive the appreciation of the big people in the township and county, and you can exchange it for enough reward money, so that the family will no longer have to worry about future troubles.
"It's okay! Maybe I can shoot two hares like Grandpa when I go into the mountain this time!" Ma Li said confidently.
With the boss development system that can improve his primary skills, Ma Li still believes that he can improve his archery skills at any time.
Easily upgrade your bow hunting skills to make it easy to hunt two hares.
