Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

Nowadays, it is difficult for even poachers to use Eagle Feather's arrows frequently, and the best ones are for geese and swans.

Goose feathers are not bad, at least they are better than chicken feathers.

The goose feather is taken from the big root of the tail, divided into two halves vertically from the middle, and then divided again from the middle horizontally.

A goose feather is divided into four equal parts.

Mu Xi: "Get the resin for me."

Zhao Yeqing turned around and opened his backpack as he was told, turned the resin out and handed it to him.

Thinking that I might need a torch, I brought out the rosin that I had collected from the pine trees. Fortunately, when Mu Xi came back later, he stopped lighting fires until he saw the wild boar coming again, so there was still a lot left.

Mu Xi put rosin on the arrow tail, took a small piece of goose feather, removed a little of the fluff on it to expose the hair stem, and attached it to the resin-stained arrow tail. He then tied the exposed hair stem with a string and fixed the feather on it.

After the feathers are tied, the edges need to be set with fire to prevent the feathers from spreading and changing direction during flight.

You also need to make a small groove at the end of the arrow to catch the bowstring.

I followed the same pattern and made five more.

If you say six, it’s six~

By the time Mu Xi finished cooking, Zhao Yeqing had finished roasting two corns. She had already eaten one and saw that Mu Xi had finished his work and handed the other to him.

Before they could reach the bottom of the cliff, she worried about Guoduo and Xuebing and went out to find food by herself. She took out dried meat from her backpack and fed them to them.

The two gnawed the dried meat happily. She walked over to look at the arrows, a little curious in her heart, "It's so troublesome to make these feathers, why don't you do it?"

Mu Xi picked up a prepared arrow and explained: "Yes, and the arrow without feathers can shoot very fast. The disadvantage is that it will make the arrow very unstable. The feathers at the end of the arrow can Keep it balanced and not deviated from the direction, otherwise the arrow will easily hit horizontally when shooting from a long distance.”

Zhao Yeqing nodded in sudden realization. She had never touched a bow and arrow before, and she was a little itchy, "Can I try it?"

Mu Xi nodded, handed her the bow and arrow, and stood behind her to help her adjust her posture.

"Spread your feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the bow with your left hand and pull the string with your right hand. Do not hold the arrow tail with your fingers. This requires too much strength. If you are weak, you will not be able to pull the string. Use your middle finger and ring finger to pull the string and hold the arrow in place. Between the index finger and the ring finger, the arrow at the front rests on the tiger's mouth of the left hand..."

Zhao Yeqing adjusted her posture according to Mu Xi's instructions, and Mu Xi stretched out his hand to help her correct the areas that were not in the standard position.

Mu Xi took a somewhat broken persimmon and placed it on a big rock ten meters away.

She raised her bow and arrow and aimed at the persimmon. It was her first time and she had no experience. No matter how she aimed, she felt it was a little crooked. She took a deep breath and shot the arrow!

Passed by the persimmon.

The arrow shot went straight into the ground.

Zhao Yeqing walked over to pick it up and continued to try.

The arrow she shot was either crooked or too far away. It was not until Mu Xi had almost finished eating the corn in her hand that the arrow she shot touched the skin of the persimmon for the first time.

It was the first time that Guoluo and Xuebing saw archery. They ran around following the arrows out of curiosity, as if they wanted to compete with them to see who could be faster.

Mu Xi finished the last bite of corn, threw the remaining corn cobs into the fire, clapped his hands and came over, took the bow and arrow in her hand, and gave her a meaningful glance.

Without saying a word, he just raised the bow and arrow in his hand and shot an arrow forward. The arrow penetrated straight into the middle of the persimmon.

Although he didn't say anything, Zhao Yeqing understood from his arrow that his eyes were full of mockery just now.

She didn't believe it yet.

Zhao Yeqing pulled out the arrow from the persimmon, took the bow from Mu Xi's hand and positioned himself, ready to try again.

Suddenly she felt a source of heat approaching from behind. She straightened her back and her body became a little stiff.

Mu Xi's hand reached out from behind and grasped her arm holding the bow and arrow. She swallowed, but before she could adapt to the heat in his palm, a hot breath suddenly sprayed behind her ears...

"Focus, don't get distracted."

His voice was hoarse, he was too tall and had to bend down, his throat was squeezed, and his words inevitably contained a slight breath...

Zhao Yeqing didn't know how she shot the arrow in her hand. When she came to her senses, the arrow had already hit the center of the persimmon.

The people behind him had already distanced themselves. Zhao Yeqing turned around and threw the bow and arrow to Mu Xi, pretending to be calm.

"That's all."

She took a few steps back to sit by the fire, trying her best to ignore the heat of the fire and just wanted to use it to cover up the thin blush on her face.

Mu Xi took out the sleeping bag from his backpack and laid it flat on the ground. In this weather, there was no need to open the sleeping bag and get in. All he had to do was spread the sleeping bag on the ground and lie on it.

There was only one sleeping bag, and the two of them discussed it. One of them would sleep half the night, and if they slept in the woods at night, they would feel like someone was keeping watch.

Zhao Yeqing stayed for the first half of the night, and Mu Xi stayed for the second half of the night.

The second half of the night in the mountain forest is much more dangerous than the first half of the night. Not all animals have good night vision. Many animals have to wait until the moon rises above their heads before they come out to look for food in the moonlight.

Mu Xi woke up at one o'clock in the morning and asked Zhao Yeqing to go to sleep. He guarded the entrance of the cave with a gun, and from time to time he was vigilant about the depths of the cave.

Fortunately, nothing happened on the first night and we passed it safely.

Zhao Yeqing took out a pack of wet wipes and a bottle of mouthwash from his backpack, giving each of them a bottle of mouthwash. He then wiped his face with the wet wipes, washed briefly, put out the fire, packed his things and prepared to set off.

The further you go down the cliff, the denser the vegetation becomes.

Fortunately, she finally left the territory of thorns. Her clothes had been scratched in several places, and her hands inevitably had a few small cuts.

Even though she was clearing the remaining thorns from behind, Mu Xi, who was clearing the way in front, had countless wounds on his hands.

Braving the scorching sun at noon, the two finally reached the bottom of the cliff in the middle of the afternoon.

Mu Xi glanced at his watch and said, "Our direction is correct. Keep walking along the west side. If we don't encounter any more forks in the fissure, we can reach the village."

Starting at seven o'clock in the evening, it would slowly get dark, and if they did not find another cave, they would have to allow time to build a temporary shelter.

According to the worst-case scenario, they could only walk for another two hours. If they didn't find the cave before five o'clock, they would have to prepare to spend the night nearby.

The two cubs are now very agile. After reaching the bottom of the cliff, they walked ahead to clear the way. In an instant, they jumped to the tree in front and looked forward. When they saw that there was no danger ahead, they came down and continued walking forward.

Zhao Yeqing was very happy to see it, and he felt a bit like a daughter growing up in our family.

The scenery at the bottom of the cliff is very different. The vegetation is blocked by the mountain for half the day. Unlike the woods near my home in the south where most of the vegetation has withered, the plants here are still the same as before the high temperature.

The lush greenery took away a little of the heat in this area, making me feel refreshed.

Both of them observed the growth direction of the plants and the condition of the soil under their feet. This is a skill learned by people who grew up in the mountains - looking for water sources.
