With the leather jumper, I have the confidence to shoot birds!
"Brother Tao, make us a bunny too!" Ren Hao said.
I fight alone, and they all watch me fight, which doesn't seem to be a solution.
Who wouldn't want to shoot down a few birds himself?
But it is so difficult to find a trident, let alone find three more!
"The trident is too hard to find, how about let me make you a bow and arrow?" I said.
I tried to tell the three of them, originally I thought they would not agree.
Because according to ordinary people's cognition, the range of a bow and arrow is only about ten meters, and it is almost impossible to hit any bird or the like.
But unexpectedly, the three of them agreed to my suggestion without even thinking about it.
It seems that everyone is still looking forward to the new toys! Thinking in another way, if it were me, I would rather have a new bow and arrow than follow others and wait for the leather strap that is not easy to touch.
"Since we have to make bows and arrows, let's look for materials together! My grandfather's bamboo is relatively soft, so it may not be good for making bows, but I can take some out to make arrows. You still need to find suitable materials for bows." Please explain.
"Then what kind do you need?" Ren Yuntao asked impatiently.
Hehe, this kid, I didn¡¯t see it. Did I know you like bows and arrows so much? I made one for you before. Why wait until now?
Seeing his flustered look, I hurriedly told them the materials I needed: "Look for a branch that is very elastic and not easy to break off, or a small trunk that is slightly thicker, otherwise it will be easily broken."
After getting my hint, Ren Yuntao and the three began to look around for suitable bow and arrow materials.
With my beloved slingshot in my hand, I have fulfilled a small wish of mine. Next, I will help you find suitable materials to make bows and arrows. I hope it will be done soon. In this way, the four of us can Let's fight together!
Going to the edge of the bamboo forest, next to the metasequoia, there are several clusters of water green branches. This kind of plant is amazing~
I don't know the origin of this plant.
As long as I can remember, it has existed here~
Time has not changed the shape of the water green branches. One year, two years, three years, five years, or even ten years have passed, and the water green branches still have not grown to be particularly thick.
At most, it is as thick as a rolling pin, and it can be regarded as an old tree of more than ten years.
Since it doesn't grow very big, it also shows that it has a high density from the side.
After I picked them side by side, I cut off a thin water green branch as thick as a thumb.
"Well, this thickness is just right!" I am very satisfied with the water green branch in my hand.
The thickness is just right, not only good toughness, but also just right to hold with one hand.
I roughly measured it, cut a length of about one meter, and prepared it for use.
He helped Ren Yuntao, Tian Yuan, and Ren Hao successively to make the branches they selected into rough embryos of similar length.
Pick up one of the rough embryos and carve grooves on both ends.
"Brother Tao, don't you need to peel this one?" Ren Hao asked.
"No, bows and arrows with leather are more durable. If the skin is removed, the moisture will be lost quickly, it will dry easily, and it will break easily" I patiently explained.
"Is this your bow?" From Ren Hao's concerned words, I probably guessed who the owner of this bow is.
"Well, yes, this is what I just chose." Ren Hao looked at me nervously.
Hey, what's the point? Are you afraid that I will say that this material is unqualified?
"Then you bend the two ends hard, and I'll tie the thread for you." After finishing speaking, I took out a white thread that I had prepared in advance.
The white thread is only a little thicker than the hair. On our side, it is called the oil-blocking thread (actually it is white cotton thread).
"Ah!~~" Ren Hao roared, holding one end of the branch with both hands, and putting his hands together vigorously, the branch also bent down with his strength.
"Is that enough, brother Tao?" Ren Hao's face was already flushed due to the excessive force, and he trembled a little when he spoke.
"That's enough, hold on, I'll start tying it right away!" I quickly straightened the thread that had been tied at one end, stretched it to the other end, wound it twice as before, and tied a knot
"Are you ready? I can't hold on any longer!" Ren Hao was about to lose his strength, but tying the bow and arrow is a delicate job. If the tie is not tight, once you let go, all previous efforts will be wasted and you will have to bend the bow again, so??I wound it two more times and tied a knot again.
"Okay, you can let go!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Hao immediately let go of his hands and hung them down.
And the bow and arrow have been made, look at this arc, it is perfect!
?I hold the bow in one hand and the cotton thread in the other, draw the bow backwards, let go and flick away¡ª¡ªwhen~
"Well, not bad!" After letting go of the cotton thread, it was very elastic, and I was still trembling for a while before it stopped under the tension of the bow.
I casually handed the bow to Ren Hao who was staring at me excitedly, indicating that he was ready to shoot.
Then, according to the way before, he helped Ren Yuntao and He Tianyuan tie the bow one after another.
Although the materials used by the three people are different, but fortunately, the selected branches are very tough and not easy to break. There is no such thing as being broken by me before the bow is tied.
The bow in my hand took a little longer to tie. Because of the thickness, I asked the three of them to help me bend the bow together, and I was able to get it done.
As for the arrows, I picked them from the bamboo threads left over from my grandfather's knitting.
A total of 13 sticks!
One by one, the arrows are cut and polished, and made into bamboo arrows that can really shoot out and shoot far.
The finished arrows were divided into 4 by no one, and I only left one in my hand as a match for my bow.
The so-called ten years without an arrow, one arrow can shoot the sun; maybe it refers to me now?
My arrows are just carried on my back, I can see them, but I can't shoot them.
The three people who got the bows and arrows happily started shooting around.
"Teng~"
"When~"
The sound of various cotton threads bouncing and the sound of arrows hitting objects continued to be heard.
And the figures of the three are also running around!
After all, if you don¡¯t pick up arrows, then you won¡¯t be able to shoot!
And I looked around for pebbles of the right size to supplement the ammunition of my leather bandage.
With a bow on his back, a leather strap in his hand, and luxurious equipment, he will definitely be able to hit a few birds today!
The slingshot has been skinned, and the wooden core is wet. I have to grind it slowly and become familiar with it, so that the slingshot and my hand can fully integrate.
The so-called perfect shot is also accumulated from bit by bit.
Let's start with the slingshot! Touch the slingshot all over first!
Let my hand feel the familiar feeling at the initial stage of contact, as if I can hit it even with my eyes closed. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
