I am the chief of a primitive tribe

Kiln firing is a technical job and also a physical job.

Because it takes one or two days to open a kiln, or even ten days or a month.

Fortunately, Mu Feng was just trying his hand this time, and only made a dozen pieces of different sizes, the largest of which was no bigger than a washbasin, and the smallest was only as big as a rice bowl.

According to his estimate, it would take about three days.

But he basically had to stay here during these three days to prevent accidents.

After all, he was the only one in the tribe who could make pottery.

But as long as the first pottery making was successful, he could let go and hand it over to Li Hu, Bai Ya and others in the future.

Because Mu Feng couldn't leave easily, Ming Guang chose to practice the bows and arrows of the hunting team near Mu Feng.

This made it convenient for Mu Feng to guard the cave while guiding them to practice archery.

Not only that, in order to keep his promise, Mu Feng also moved all the bow making tools to his side and made three bows for Han Shu and others.

The fire in the cave was made of charcoal and lasted for a long time, so you only need to watch it once or twice occasionally.

For archery practice, Mu Feng only needs to give some instructions.

So the real effort is to make the bow.

Originally, Mu Feng had explained in detail to Li Hu and Ming Guang how to make a three-piece bow, but unfortunately, no matter how he explained, they didn't understand how to stick the three pieces of bamboo together.

Mu Feng had no choice but to do it himself.

The three-piece bow is different from the simple two-piece bow of one thick and one thin. The requirement is two long and one short, and the "two long" is one hard and one soft.

The so-called two long means that the two bamboo pieces need to be the same length, and the short is a bamboo piece placed between the two long ones as a sandwich.

As for the "one hard and one soft" in the two long ones, the bamboo piece placed in the inner layer needs to be relatively thick. When baking the bamboo pieces, only the two ends are baked soft, and the middle part can be normal.

The outermost layer of bamboo is relatively thinner and baked soft as a whole, so that it can be bent to fit the inner bamboo with a short interlayer in the middle.

These requirements are more complicated for Mu Feng to explain, and there are more points to pay attention to when making them. No wonder Li Hu and Ming Guang were confused when they heard them.

This is when Mu Feng said it in person. If someone else, like Chang Ning, had never heard of these details, it would be a fantasy to want to make a double or even a three-piece bow.

The thickness of the hard and soft bamboo pieces is relatively uniform, but the middle bamboo piece is required to present an extremely narrow arc to the outside, which requires extremely high craftsmanship and accuracy of Mu Feng.

Just this one bamboo piece wasted six bamboo pieces for Mu Feng, and this is still under the premise of having a ruler and a plane.

Without these, I am afraid even Mu Feng can't do it.

Fortunately, his efforts were not in vain. The three bamboo strips were sliced ​​and roasted, and then they were placed on the side to be shaped. Then he sat aside and watched the tribe members practice archery calmly.

At present, there are only about 40 people in the hunting team, and the other ten people were sent out by Mingguang to hunt.

Because they have mastered the fishing skills, there are sheep traps not far from the tribe. Now the hunting team only needs to send a few people out to guard them every day.

In the middle, under the instruction of Mufeng, Mingguang led people to dig traps on the other side and caught a lot of wild sheep.

Now the tribe members have sheep and fish every day, and occasionally boiled eggs, pork, chicken and other foods are added.

In addition to vegetables such as bamboo shoots, shepherd's purse, mushrooms, and water celery, the food in the tribe is already quite rich.

Except for the wild boars, which are killed one less, other sheep and chickens are increasing in twos and threes every day in addition to supplying the tribe members.

This is also the reason why Mufeng can start training the archery army with confidence.

With a full stomach and surplus food, of course we need to strengthen ourselves!

At present, the forty or so people are divided into four groups, each group standing side by side with bows and arrows, and a simple round wooden stake bull's eye is erected 30 meters away from them.

This is also what Mu Feng pulled Mingguang and Lihu to do overnight, and it just came in handy now.

A dozen people stood in a row, and with Mingguang's order of "shooting", the "swoosh" sound was endless, and the sound was obviously fast and slow.

As for the arrows that hit the target, only two or three out of ten hit it, not to mention those that hit the bull's eye.

After a group hit it, Mingguang looked at Mufeng: "Captain, how do you think they shoot?"

Everyone subconsciously became nervous.

Mu Feng chuckled and shook his head: "This is your first time using a bow and arrow, so it's normal that you can't shoot accurately. This has a lot to do with lack of experience!"

"But remember the archery tips I taught you yesterday. If you hold the bow with your left hand, your left shoulder should be in front. If you hold the bow with your right hand, your right shoulder should be in front. The distance between your two feet should be wide open. When you draw the bow, your two shoulders should be competing. When you shoot arrows, your eyes, arrow and the center of the target should be in line!"As he spoke, Mu Feng picked up a bow and demonstrated: "After drawing the bow, keep your hand steady, breathe slowly, and lift it up a little after you see the target, and then shoot!"

"Swoosh"!

The bamboo arrow fell and hit the center of the bull's eye.

The people around were amazed.

Mu Feng looked at the arrow that hit the center of the bull's eye not far away, and felt ashamed.

"At a distance of 30 meters, it's still a little crooked. If I had such a skill in my previous life, I'm afraid I would be scolded to death by my coach!"

The hunting team members who received Mu Feng's correction seemed to have opened their minds. The next few groups of people could hit five or six arrows out of ten, and two even hit within the sixth ring.

You know, this is just the beginning of practice, and there are already such good results!

"It seems that the archery army has great potential!" Mu Feng said secretly.
