Chapter 45 Preparing for Hunger
The situation of people on the adjacent island was like a stone thrown into the calm water, stirring up waves in the hearts of the three of us, and we guessed the identity of the people on the island, and our mood could not be calmed down for a long time.
Danger and hope are intertwined, making what was once a dull day no longer dull.
Su Jin and Li Shanshan both felt that something should be done, but they didn't know what they could do. He could only look at me anxiously.
"Mr. Su, Shanshan, you can rub more ropes. Or, help me make a few fish cages. I said.
Actually, I don't know what the rope can be used for.
The rocky beach on the headland provides us with a lot of delicious seafood every morning. I've dried a few pounds of dried eel and cuttlefish.
Even if the weather is bad and we can't go fishing at the beach, these things are enough for us to eat for a few days.
I'm just saying this so that I can find something to do for both of them and distract them.
"Shanshan, let's go, let's go together. "Su Jin took Li Shanshan and did what I told me.
And I took out the bullets and looked at them.
These bullets have been soaked in the lake for a long time, and the primer has long been damp and cannot be used. But I believe that the propellant in the shell is perfectly fine under the protection of the copper case.
Those granular smokeless propellants are very explosive, and as long as they are used well, they can be made into powerful bombs.
I picked up two egg grenades, but I'm not sure if they will work.
Now that we are under real threat, it is necessary to make a powerful bomb.
I also happen to have a glass wine bottle, and if you fill the bottle with gunpowder and stuff it tightly to make a bomb, I believe that it will be as powerful as a grenade.
Therefore, I pried out the bullets one by one with a knife, poured out all the gunpowder inside, and saved up a small pile. In order to increase the lethality and fill the space, and save gunpowder, I also stuffed more than a dozen bullets into the glass bottle.
This bomb is so powerful. I easily don't want to use it. Unless it is absolutely necessary.
So I sewed the glass bottle and placed it in the crevice in the rock in the cave.
I've thought of the worst. Unfortunately, we were discovered by the most vicious gangsters and had to retreat to the cave. At this time, as long as I ignite the bomb and throw it down, those flying glass shards and bullets are no less than a shell hitting the target, even if the other party has a class, I believe it will be reimbursed.
Of course, I don't want that to happen.
Whenever possible, I would draw possible opponents elsewhere and destroy them with a bow and dagger.
Therefore, when Su Jin and Li Shanshan were weaving fish cages and rubbing ropes, I practiced archery in the bushes.
I made a total of fifteen arrows, each of which was inlaid with arrowheads made of tinplate. The arrows were again soaked in nutmeg oil. I certainly don't waste these weapons lightly.
So I just used bush shafts without arrowheads.
Despite this, the strong force allowed the arrows to penetrate deep into the wooden rake.
I practiced so devotedly, I didn't even notice that Li Shanshan came to me.
"Brother Haidong, you shoot so accurately! She said with adoration in her eyes.
"Hehe, I'm afraid you won't be able to pull the bow. I laughed.
"Hmph, you look down on people! I don't try, how do you know I can't pull the bow!" Li Shanshan said with her mouth crossed and her waist crossed.
"Okay, try!" I said, handing her the bow.
Li Shanshan took the bow, pulled the bow to half full at once, and then looked at me proudly.
