Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 83 Disadvantages of Crossbow Arrows

Just when Zhang Heping hid his bicycle in the grass on the slope of a ravine and cut some branches to cover the car, the Zhang family in the front yard began to set up their stall again.

Grandma Xie Ermei learned last night that many aunts and daughters-in-law came to the sewing stall to steal their skills, so she specially decorated the stall this morning.

Going to the left from the hospital door, there is only an armchair beside the steps for guests to sit on.

A little further to the left, Lao Zhang had already sat on an armchair against the wall.

Lao Zhang's toolbox was placed a little to the left in front of him, with the drawer pulled out to the right.

The sewing machine was placed to the left of Zhang Bing's armchair and against the wall.

A long bamboo table with tall legs was placed close to the back of the tool box, across the street side of the bamboo shed, blocking the sewing machine inside.

In this way, when her eldest cousin Ma Lili stepped on the sewing machine, she faced the entrance of Zhang Binghe's courtyard. There was a long bamboo table on the left facing the street. Use this as a reason to get irrelevant people out of the way.

Behind the high-back chair that matches the sewing machine, there is a 1-meter doorless bamboo cabinet placed against the wall. It is the combination low cabinet on the east wall of the east wing next to the partition wall. It was moved out and used as a tool cabinet.

On the left side of the tool cabinet, there is a small coffee table against the wall. The coffee table is filled with bamboo cups. The ones with lids are special cups for the Zhang family, and the ones without lids are public cups.

There is a kettle on the left side of the small coffee table, and then there are 3 armchairs and 6 armchairs placed against the wall. Under these 9 chairs and under the small coffee table, there are 10 small bamboo stools hidden for the convenience of customers waiting.

At this moment, the second sister Zhang Pandi ran to sit down in front of the sewing machine and began to make her pleated skirt; the eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi was hanging new clothes on bamboo hangers.

In fact, these clothes are not new. They have been worn and washed once or twice.

The reason why they put it on display is simply to attract more customers and let outsiders know that their sewing stall can not only sew holes, but also make clothes.

My eldest cousin Ma Lili was busy at the long bamboo table. The table was set up by my grandma Xie Ermei. Although it was a bit crowded when standing on the side of the sewing machine, I could stand on the street side to mark the cloth.

Besides, it's crowded now because the two sisters Zhang Zhaodi are on summer vacation. Normally, it's not crowded when Ma Lili is alone on the side of the sewing machine.

The nearby aunts and daughters-in-law gathered again and were slightly disappointed when they found the sewing machine inside.

But when I saw my little cousin drawing lines on the cloth at the long table, my interest in stealing from my teacher was aroused again.

Grandma Xie Ermei just wanted to do something when her eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi pulled her aside and whispered:

"The mistress said, don't worry about them secretly learning to mark lines and cut cloth. After they fail a few times and waste more cloth, they will take it to our sewing stall to make it."

After Xie Ermei heard this, she no longer resisted the person stealing from her at the long table. When she saw familiar people in the courtyard, she even invited them to come over and sit down.

It didn't take long for Xie Ermei to use all 9 chairs and 10 small bamboo stools.

……

"Phew..." Zhang Heping gave the chase command, and Laifu, who was more than two months old, ran away from him and got into the grass. Then he was frightened and came back... He was too timid.

Zhang Heping held a crossbow in his left hand and a hatchet in his right hand to clear the way. He quickly picked up a gray rabbit that was still kicking under the grass.

This three to four kilogram rabbit was about the same size as Laifu, a native dog on the ground. It seemed that Fu kept wiping the dog's face with his front paws in an aggrieved manner, fearing that he might have been kicked in the face by the rabbit's feet.

He knocked the rabbit's head unconscious with the back of the knife, removed the steel arrow that penetrated the rabbit, and wiped the blood on the steel arrow with rabbit fur, Zhang Heping put the rabbit into the sack.

The trees and weeds in this ravine are relatively lush, but unfortunately there is still no water source. The ground nearby is dry and there are no footprints of wild beasts. There are some dung of various wild beasts, but they are all dry.

Zhang Heping glanced at the mountains and forests ahead, then looked at the position of the sun in the sky, estimated the distance and time to go home, then put the sacks containing the two rabbits into the small backpack, reloaded the crossbow, and carried the small backpack on his back. Head towards the mountains and forests.

After multiple shooting tests this morning, Zhang Heping's steel pulley crossbow has a maximum horizontal shooting distance of about 80 meters and an effective killing distance of about 35 meters; if it is ejected, these two figures can be increased by more than half.

There are many rodents and birds in the mountain forest. Zhang Heping used a slingshot to hit a pheasant with a long tail feather. After giving the command for Laifu to drag it over, he stopped hitting those little things.

The dead branches and leaves on the ground are too dry. The further we go to the top of the mountain, the hotter and dryer we feel. I don’t know how long it will take before it rains in the capital.

Zhang Heping climbed to a dead tree on the top of the mountain and looked around.

Search: Proficient (57%).

……

Half an hour later, Zhang Heping discovered traces of wild boars, roe deer, gorals, wolves and other animals. One of the easiest prey to hunt recently was actually eating leaves where he hid his bicycle!

Can this be tolerated?

What if he chews up the tire... Do you want him to walk back?

After getting off the tree, Zhang Heping picked up the blessing, picked up the crossbow and ran back.

Because I just searched around and found that the carnivores are all in the northern mountain forests. In the area near the dirt road in the south, except for some small animals such as rabbits and badgers, there is no meat.

Perhaps the noise of Zhang Heping going down the mountain was too loud, which frightened the deer-like roe deer, who looked sideways at Zhang Heping going down the mountain.

When Zhang Heping ran down the ditch and was still 50 meters away from the bicycle hiding spot on the slope, the roe deer suddenly ran to the west.

"stop!"

Zhang Heping roared, threw away his rifle, put down his backpack, took only the crossbow and 4 arrows, and chased after the silly roe deer who was waiting there.

When Zhang Heping gave chase, the silly roe deer ran away again.

"stop!"

Zhang Heping roared again, and the silly roe deer stopped and looked back, then started running again.

Seeing the silly roe deer running too fast, Zhang Heping said "Ah", quickly squatted down, raised his crossbow, and aimed at the silly roe deer 80 meters away.

After a while, the female roe deer with no horns on its head ran back.

"Shhh..." Zhang Heping gave the silent command to Laifu who was chasing him. One person and one dog squatted quietly in the grass, waiting for the silly roe deer to approach.

Bang!

There was an imperceptible sound from the bowstring. Zhang Heping hurriedly pulled the string and shot the second arrow towards the silly roe deer's hind legs without looking at the result of the shot.

Attack CD: 1.1 seconds.

"Huh..." Zhang Heping gave the pursuit command, then turned back to find the small backpack.

When he put on his small backpack and pushed his bicycle to the side of the silly roe deer, Laifu was still barking at the struggling roe deer, not daring to bite him.

"Silly dog!" Zhang Heping kicked the little local dog over.

Then, he was seen taking hemp rope from the car and binding the four hooves of the silly roe deer, and then pulled out the steel arrows that penetrated the two front thighs of the deer, and the steel arrows that penetrated the two hind thighs.

Catch a silly roe deer alive!

It's easy for food to spoil in this hot summer, and his house doesn't have a refrigerator or freezer, so he can only shoot the roe deer on its front and rear thighs to restrict it from running away.

By the way, the penetration power of this steel arrow is very strong, and it will definitely penetrate the head of a roe deer.

But the problem is, shooting through does not mean shooting to death.

If he is not killed in one hit, he will most likely run away with Zhang Heping's steel arrow.

Therefore, he was considering whether to add a tapered arrowhead to the steel arrow to increase the bleeding damage.

Zhang Heping knocked the roe deer unconscious, put it into a sack, and tied it with another sack containing two rabbits, one on the left and one on the right, on the back seat of the bicycle, picked it up and put it in the basket of the bicycle, and went back...
