Broken leg by silly daughter-in-law

Chapter 137 Bow and Crossbow

If there was anything Liu Luochen feared most in ancient times, it would definitely be war.

He is a young man in the 21st century in modern times. He has been in peaceful years since he was born. Those war years were all seen in documentaries and movies, but he did not experience them personally.

Now that he heard that foreigners invaded the border, he instantly felt the hairs all over his body explode.

Liu Luochen clenched his fists and tried to calm his voice, looked at Zhao Shujin and asked, "Brother, did foreigners harass the border a lot in the past years?

Only Zhao Shujin sighed faintly: "Our national fortune is strong, and the monarch's management of the border is also very strict. Although there are occasional frictions, there have been no wars for several years. But I recently received news that the cattle and sheep on the grassland fell ill this year. A large number of deaths, those barbarians have no food, they just want to focus on this piece of fat in the Central Plains, Brother Liu, you should be more vigilant and prepare early."

Zhao Shujin looked at Liu Luochen leisurely, as if he couldn't finish his thousand words.

But he stopped talking here, and it was for Liu Luochen's good.

Liu Luochen nodded knowingly, and after politely sending him into the carriage, he looked at the slightly dark sky and thick clouds in the distance, and his mood sank little by little.

Although Liujia Village is located in a remote place, it is also at the border.

During the time he traveled to ancient times, except for some trivial matters with fellow villagers, there were no major disputes anymore.

It's just that for this kind of thing, as a common man, he can only save as much money as he can, and prepare more food at home for emergencies.

Liu Luochen stood outside for a while, until all the messy emotions in his mind were covered up, and then he gave up.

He had a premonition in his heart that he must make the bow and crossbow as soon as possible and hide it at home, so that even if something happened, he would be able to protect himself.

When Liu Luochen returned to the house, he saw Nan Nian sitting at the table drinking tea leisurely. He looked at him with dark green eyes, and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Send him off? You are quite close to this brother."

Liu Luochen now has a worry on his mind, and he seemed a little unfamiliar, but said lightly: "Brother took good care of our family before, and you beat him up last time, and he didn't sue you before the court." Come on, you are just a guest when you come to the door, and you can't be too perfunctory."

Nan Nian snorted coldly, and his eyes became even colder: "It seems that you enjoy his pursuit quite a bit, and it's also true that it's not a good thing for this person to be turned around by your righteous brother. It's all up to you to choose."

This person has been entangled with Zhao Shujin for a long time. He has warned Liu Luochen several times not to see him again, but the other party still refuses to listen. He knows that Zhao Shujin is interested in him, but he is still unclear.

For some reason, Nan Nian felt very angry, as if a fire was burning in his chest. He attributed these angry emotions to Liu Luochen's deception, not his own jealousy.

Liu Luochen looked at Nan Nian in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly: "In your heart, I am such a person? I bought and sold medicinal materials with him at a clear price, and I didn't take half of the advantage. Ah Nian, what's going on recently? It's like a different person."

Liu Luochen looked at Nan Nian carefully, feeling a little weird in his heart, but he couldn't catch it for a while.

Nan Nian's heart beat violently when she heard the words, and she clenched her fists tightly under the table, forcing herself to calm down.

He also overheard some of the conversation between Zhao Shujin and Liu Luochen outside the door just now. There are foreigners harassing the border, and maybe some tribesmen will come here. He can take the opportunity to contact his subordinates. At this time, he must not expose it.

Nan Nian just lowered his head slightly to play with the teacup in his hand, and said a little aggrieved: "I just saw him and your relatives, and you joked with him again, and I feel sad."

It wasn't once or twice that Nan Nian was jealous because of Zhao Shujin's ambition and his own ambition all day long. Liu Luochen's heart was slightly relieved, and he simply went to Nan Nian's side, reached out to hold his palm on the table, and said, "You are the one I sign. I have signed the marriage certificate, brother Qi who has passed Minglu, I have only liked you from the beginning to the end, and I don't have any big pursuits, I just want to live an ordinary life with you, work at sunrise and rest at sunset."

Looking at Liu Luochen's sincere and affectionate eyes, Nan Nian's heart beat wildly, something that had been accumulated for a long time rushed out, which made him excited and contradictory, and wanted to restrain himself as much as possible.

He is the second prince of the Qiang tribe, and the grassland follows his tribe, which is his concern and also his weakness.

Brother Dahuang has been fighting with him for many years, and the other party is tyrannical, narrow-minded, and ready to retaliate. After he designed to frame him, there is no guarantee that he will not kill all the subordinates who are loyal to him.

In any case, he must return to the capital to ensure their safety.

Nan Nian tightly clenched his fists, managed to keep his face calm, and gently opened the corners of his mouth and said, "Maybe, maybe one day, I will come back here to farm and drink tea."

Seeing Nan Nian's disappointed face, Liu Luochen felt a little inexplicably sour in his heart.

He deliberately took advantage of Nan Nian's lack of attention, got up and kissed the other party's face, and said with a smile: "I think you are too idle all day, so you think about it, just a few days ago I drew a mechanical toy , help me see if I can make it."

Nan Nian nodded silently, her ears and neck turned red little by little.There was something in Liu Luochen's mind, and foreigners might come here to burn, kill and loot, this matter left a deep shadow in his heart.

As if he was being chased by a beast, he was really anxious, so he didn't notice Nan Nian's strangeness.

After Liu Luochen finished speaking, he got up and went to the bedroom, took out the detailed design drawing he had drawn a few days ago, placed it opposite Nan Nian, and said: "This is something like a bow and arrow that I thought of a few days ago, but its mechanism is slightly different. It is complicated, but the force and range of the crossbow arrows are greater, and it is easier to operate."

Liu Luochen had great confidence in the bow and crossbow. He had seen the detailed design drawings in modern times, but it was the optimized version after thousands of years in China.

Nan Nian is also a master in terms of weapons.

After seeing the design drawing at a glance, a light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He took the few sheets of paper in disbelief, flipped through them in detail, and then listened to Liu Luochen's words, his eyes were full of surprise.

If this kind of crossbow is made, it will be several times more powerful than bows and arrows, and it is definitely a magic weapon.

The two have their own concerns, but they are naturally very urgent about the bow and crossbow.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Liu Luochen deliberately lit many candles in the room.

After Nan Nian selected the materials, he made them bit by bit according to the parts on the schematic diagram.

Seeing Nan Nian's seriousness in making it, Liu Luochen didn't bother him.

It is still a waste of eyes to turn on the lights to make things at night.

Liu Luochen specially brewed some scented tea and put it beside Nan Nian, in case he could drink it when he was thirsty.

It is said that a person is most attractive when he concentrates on doing something.

Sitting opposite Nan Nian, Liu Luochen pouted his chin. Seeing his flying fingers up and down on the wooden block, his extremely serious expression, and his handsome face with sharp edges and corners, he felt very seductive.

Thinking about it, Liu Luochen's thoughts fluttered a little. In modern times, the wires of many bows and crossbows are made of extremely flexible alloy metals. However, under the conditions of ancient technology, the manufacturing process of pig iron is far behind. to request.

Then there might be a problem with the string of the crossbow.

Suddenly, Liu Luochen remembered that he could try using animal tendons as bowstrings.

The tendons of large animals are extremely tough and elastic.

After Liu Luochen exchanged the thoughts in his heart with Nan Nian, he got Nan Nian's affirmation.

The strings of many high-quality bows and arrows are composed of animal tendons.

Liu Luochen nodded: "Okay, I'll go to the town's market tomorrow to look for animal tendons."

As the night was getting late, Liu Luochen let out a breath, fearing that Nan Nian would hurt his eyes, so he urged him to wash up and go to bed.

In the middle of the night, when Liu Luochen was breathing deeply and deeply, Nan Nian turned his head to look at the unfinished parts on the table, his eyes flashed with thought.

Early the next morning, Liu Luochen got up early, made breakfast, and went to town with his big yellow ox.

There are mountains and forests near their village, so there are many hunters, and they will hunt large prey from time to time. It was precisely because of this idea that Liu Luochen came up with the idea of ​​looking for suitable animal tendons in the town.

The jerky boss should be the most familiar with the places that sell wild game in the town.

When Liu Luochen came to the town, he went straight to the butcher shop owner.

Both of them cooperated in selling fish, and the owner of the butcher shop also made a lot of money, so they liked Liu Luochen even more.

It was a coincidence that two bison from the mountain broke into the nearby village yesterday, which caused quite a commotion and injured people.

Only then did several hunters around join forces, hunted down the two bison, sold them in the town, and subsidized the loss in the village.

Liu Luochen's eyes lit up when he heard that, the bison's rubber band is the best.

So he quickly inquired about the place with the butcher shop owner, and after thanking him, he ran towards the market in the town.

Sure enough, not far away, I saw a group of people setting up stalls on the street.

The two bison were also torn open and bloody, and there were many authentic and well-to-do families around to buy meat in twos and threes.

Beef was extremely rare in ancient times, and farming cattle were not allowed to be killed.

Liu Luochen also took the opportunity to go up and buy about 10 catties of bison meat, and also took the opportunity to inquire about the situation with the butcher.

The man just shook his head when he heard that Liu Luochen wanted to buy bison tendons.

Because the hunters in their village also want to use beef tendons to make bows and arrows.

But Liu Luochen raised the price, making ordinary bows and arrows, beef tendon is not irreplaceable, so the other party agreed.

Liu Luochen happily carried two intact bison tendons, feeling a little relieved in his heart.Some of the claims about bows and crossbows here are fabricated, don’t take it seriously, the bison meat is also in line with the logic of the article, haha, the times are overhead, cuties, don’t compare it with real events and history
