A poor hero

"Chen Chen, you mean that girl from Hualou just now?"

When Chen Chen heard this, he was almost depressed.

He had been hiding this matter from Shen Qian, but he didn't expect that Shen Qian would not take it seriously.

But he still confirmed it to Shen Qian, "Madam, do you really not care about this matter?"

Shen Qian smiled, then pretended to be serious and said, "What's the point of worrying about this? My mother said that my husband is a capable person, so it's okay to socialize, as long as you don't have feelings."

When Chen Chen saw how serious Shen Qian was, he believed her.

He nodded and replied: "Madam, don't worry, I will never go to that kind of place again. I have no feelings for that person."

Shen Qian thought for a moment and then said: "Mr. sir, you and I slept together last night. It's okay for you to have feelings for other women. Anyway, my mother said that as long as I am the first to have children, it will be fine."

When Chen Chen heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands and refused.

A person's heart is so big, how can he possibly contain others.

So he vowed: "I wish to win the heart of one person, and we will never be apart until we grow old together. I have you, my wife, and that is enough. I can no longer tolerate other women."

Only then did Shen Qian nod with satisfaction.

Just like that, Chen Chen's test was over.

"Madam, let's go to the second brother's place to see how he is doing."

Chen Chen took Shen Qian's hand and walked towards the blacksmith shop.

Shen Qian had heard Chen Chen talk about him and Gao Wenbai and Qian Ziming's sworn sworn relationship before, and she wanted to recognize him.

As soon as Qian Ziming saw Chen Chen coming with Shen Qian, he immediately came out to welcome him.

"Third brother, are these my siblings? They are so good-looking, and those earlobes are so pretty."

Qian Ziming looked at Shen Qian and praised her heartily.

Shen Qian lowered her head in embarrassment and replied shyly: "Hello, second brother."

Qian Ziming nodded and said with a smile: "Hello everyone, brothers and sisters. Third brother, you are here just in time. I just have something for you!"

Then Qian Ziming walked into the room.

Chen Chen thought for a moment.

He and Qian Ziming talked about the crossbow a few days ago. Could it be that Qian Ziming really made the crossbow now.

Sure enough, Qian Ziming actually took out two composite quick-loading crossbows wrapped in cloth.

Qian Ziming said excitedly: "Third brother, the crossbow method you introduced is really powerful. It is more advanced than what we make in the capital weapons camp."

Qian Ziming had worked in the capital with his master before and had seen all kinds of weapons.

Ever since he heard Chen Chen describe the compound quick-cocking crossbow last time, he had thought about the principle behind it.

However, because the crossbow was still a contraband at this time, he reduced the entire crossbow to only three palms.

This is easy to carry and easy to hide from others.

Although this crossbow is small, it is very powerful and can kill an enemy with one arrow within 50 meters.

He has made two pieces in total now, originally planning to give one to each of Chen Chen and Gao Wenbai.

But when he saw Shen Qian coming, he temporarily decided to give Gao Wenbai's crossbow to Shen Qian first.

He would get new ones for Gao Wenbo later.

"Second brother, you really did it! It really looks like it."

Chen Chen picked up one of them and looked at it carefully.

This crossbow is made of pig iron, wood, a small iron plate and raw beef tendon.

This compound quick-cocking crossbow can store five arrows in the magazine at one time.

Although it cannot be fired continuously, you can use the winding device to wind it quickly.

Qian Ziming nodded and said with a smile: "Third brother, let's go to the back mountain and try. There are not many people walking there."

The blacksmith shop was at the foot of the mountain, and the three of them arrived at the back mountain in a blink of an eye.

Chen Chen didn't expect that there was a mountain spring flowing down here, and it was quite large.

He instantly had an idea, that is, when he returned home, he would design a hydraulic machine tool for Qian Ziming, so that he could save more energy in blacksmithing.

"Ms. sir, how do you use this crossbow?"

Shen Qian held another crossbow and asked Chen Chen.

Chen Chen snatched Shen Qian's crossbow and scolded loudly: "Shen Qian, the opening of this crossbow cannot be pointed at one of your own, or something will happen."

Suddenly, Shen Qian felt an indescribable grievance, and tears quickly poured into her eyes.

Qian Ziming saw this scene.

He hurriedly tried to persuade her, "Third brother, don't be so fierce. This sister-in-law doesn't understand either. Just tell her."

Shen Qian hummed and turned her head.

Chen Chen also knew that he was too sensitive and hurt Shen Qian.

So he walked up to Shen Qian and said softly: "Madam, I'm sorry, I'm too sensitive, but this crossbow really can't be pointed at our own people, it's very dangerous."

Shen Qian is not an unreasonable person. When she heard what Chen Chen said, she realized that she had done something wrong unintentionally.

She lowered her head and pouted, "Then don't be so fierce. I will listen to you if you speak nicely."

Chen Chen didn't answer Shen Qian, he just raised the crossbow, strung it, pointed it at the tree ten meters away, and pulled the trigger directly.

The arrow suddenly shot out from the crossbow, and with a "swish" sound, it pierced deeply into the tree.

"Ms. sir, can this be used?"

Shen Qian suddenly broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, she didn't know how to wind the string just now, otherwise it would have been dangerous.

Chen Chen smiled and asked, "Chen Qian, do you know how dangerous this is? In the future, you must remember that no matter what, the crossbow cannot be pointed at your own people."

Shen Qian nodded and agreed.

She was still a little scared when she thought of the scene just now.

Qian Ziming explained: "Third brother, this is the first time that I have seen this thing. I will remember it in the future. Also, this crossbow is contraband. Unless you encounter a life-saving situation, you must not reveal it."

Only then did Chen Chen know that this crossbow was also a contraband in ancient times.

He thought for a while and felt that it was the same. This crossbow was so powerful that it would be quite dangerous if the people used it to rebel.

However, Chen Chen would have to deal with those bandits later, and he also wanted to ask Qian Ziming to make a few more.

So he smiled and said: "Second brother, how many more do I want you to get? There may be bandits coming to our village later."

Qian Ziming was not a corrupt person. He had heard about Chen Chen's fight against the bandits before.

He immediately agreed, but he asked Chen Chen to master the bows and crossbows in peacetime and distribute them in war.

Chen Chen was not a fool and agreed immediately.

"Madam, come here, I will teach you how to use this crossbow. You can use it to save your life when I am not with you in the future."

Chen Chen said seriously.

This crossbow is not difficult to learn. It is much easier to learn than the bow. It just takes a little effort to string the crossbow.

Before Shen Qian came to Chen Chen's house, she often worked hard and tiring jobs at Master Xu's house and was very strong. This was not a problem for her.

Soon, she was able to skillfully shoot at a target ten meters away.

"Ms. sir, with this thing, I can protect you in the future."

Shen Qian raised her crossbow and said excitedly.
