There are savages in the jungle

It was getting hot day by day, even staying in the cave was unbearably hot, because the sun would shine into the cave in the afternoon.

Xia Yun slept at the innermost part of the cave, and was woken up by the heat not long after the sun broke into the cave. He couldn't stay still, and said to Yan: "Can you take me out? I want to find something."

Although Yan has long hair, but because of his strong perspiration ability, he is more heat-resistant than Xia Yun.

He fanned Xia Yun with leaves and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Xia Yun leaned towards the direction of the wind and said, "A tree like sweet bamboo, tall and thin."

Yan thought for a while, "You mean bamboo? There is one in the back mountain."

Xia Yun was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Great, let's go."

Now Yan didn't dare to let Xia Yun stay in the cave by himself anymore, and he didn't object when Xia Yun said he wanted to follow, so he carefully carried Xia Yun on his back and walked towards the bamboo forest step by step.

The other side of the mountain was very shady and cool because it was protected from light, and the breeze carried the fragrance of bamboo, which made Xia Yun feel crisp and soft just after coming out of the stove, and wanted to take a nap for a while.

But Xia Yun held back his drowsiness, he wanted to start making bows and arrows as soon as possible.

The bamboo is very thick, and the bark is mature dark green.

Satisfied, Xia Yun took out the dagger and began to sharpen it slowly.He didn't dare to squat down, and he didn't even dare to bend down too fast, because he would stretch the wound on his thigh.But even though he moved so carefully, the wound was still cracked and dripped with blood.

Yan looked distressed behind Xia Yun, and suddenly grabbed Xia Yun's hand, "I'll come, you lie down and rest."

Xia Yun turned his head to look at the back of his leg, but saw nothing, only felt some pain from the wound.

"Then be careful, don't break the knife."

Yan touched the blade of the dagger as thin as a thread, then returned it to Xia Yun, "No need."

After all, Yan grabbed the bamboo pole and bent it hard, the bamboo broke from the place where the cut was made, and the round bamboo tube also split into three pieces.

"Oh." Xia Yun exclaimed regretfully, seeing that the width of the broken pillar was not small, and suddenly realized that it could be used to make bows and arrows, his expression relaxed.

Yan broke off the last sticking part of the pillar, threw it on the ground, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xia Yun said: "This is very good, we have enough bamboo, let's go to a place out of the sun."

Although the bamboo forest is cool and refreshing, the thin leaves cannot block the sunlight, and the ground is full of mottled and scorching light spots.

Yan agreed, let Xia Yun take the bamboo, and walked to the foot of the mountain with Xia Yun on his back.

Xia Yun's injury prevented him from sitting, but he couldn't do bows and arrows on his stomach, so he sat on Yan's lap.

Yan would adjust his posture so that Xia Yun's injury would not touch him and allow him to sit comfortably.

Xia Yun concentrates on cutting bamboo, and Yan is also happy and leisurely holding Xia Yun, leaning on the mountain and taking a nap comfortably.

It didn't take long for the arrow body to be ready. Xia Yun told Yan the kind of rope to be used as a necklace. After hearing this, Yan immediately found a small hemp tree and peeled off the gray-green bark, and twisted a thin rope of even thickness.

Xia Yun tied the ropes to both ends of the arrow body, and a decent bow and arrow was ready.

Although the bow and arrow is quite a thing, Xia Yun feels a bit light when holding it in his hand, like a cheap toy bought from a street stall.

With a skeptical attitude, Xia Yun used a bamboo stick that had been prepared in advance with a piece of cloth tied to the end, put it on the bow and arrow and pulled it lightly, and the bow and arrow were full.

Xia Yun held his breath and aimed at the trunk of a big tree.

Looking at the scene in front of him through the bow and arrow, Xia Yun suddenly remembered that when he was playing at his grandfather's house in the countryside, there was a boy two years older than himself who had a bow and arrow at home, just like this bamboo bow and arrow.The boy sneaked out to play with a bow and arrow, and his father found out before he even shot an arrow. It was the first time Xia Yun saw a bow and arrow, and it was also the only time before today that he saw a bow and arrow.

The boy acted foolishly and refused to return it. His father reluctantly agreed to let him let him shoot an arrow for fun. Xia Yun didn't see how the boy released it, but only saw the blurred shadow of the arrow flying towards the corner of the wall where debris was piled up, making a loud boom. The sound startled him.

God knows he really wanted to play at that time.

Now, Xia Yun feels as if his wish for many years has been fulfilled.

let go

With a sound of "Hoo!", the green arrow flew out just like in memory.

Xia Yun's heart instantly rose.

However, the flying arrow did not hit the tree trunk. It was not just that it was not accurate enough. Although it missed Xia Yun's target, it hit another small tree by mistake. When it hit a wall, it fell.

Xia Yun's heart quickly fell to the bottom.But I feel that this should be the result.

From the weight of the arrow body, he vaguely felt that it would fail.

It is too easy to draw the bow, with more than enough elasticity, but not enough toughness, so the arrow has no strength.

How to strengthen resilience?

Xia Yun first thought of beef tendon.Use beef tendon to make strings?

No, it should be the bow part that needs to be strengthened to strengthen the toughness and hardness. How about wrapping the bow body with beef tendon?

But Yan yelled in surprise, "Xia Yun, why did the bamboo fly?"

Seeing Yan Qi's strange appearance, Xia Yun couldn't help laughing, "Try it."

Yan immediately took the bow and arrow, following what Xia Yun did just now, he successfully released an arrow.

His expression suddenly became even more surprised. His left eye said miraculous, and his right eye said miraculous. Xia Yun couldn't help laughing out at this silly expression, "It hasn't succeeded yet. If you hunt tomorrow, can you catch cattle? It's useful for this." .”

Yan became very interested in Xia Yun's production, and said excitedly, "I'll try my best to try my luck."

On the second day, Yan hunted for a long time, but he caught a nearly adult cow.

During the hunt, Xia Yun was always accompanied by Ye.Xia Yun and Yan didn't dare to be careless if the benefits were not removed for a day.

Xia Yun picked out the four hamstrings of the cow and spent a day drying them, and then the tendons became hard bars.The method of softening Xia Yun chose the latter between boiled and smashed with stones, and first tried a single tendon.

Now he soaked the tendon in water to soften it a bit, and then crushed it with stones, the tendon became soft and silky, Xia Yun was very satisfied with the result.

Then he carefully wrapped the tendon around the bow and arrow.

After the production improved, Xia Yun fired another arrow, which was much better than the first time, but it was still not ideal.Moreover, the tendon wrapped around the bow will fall apart if you are not careful, and you have to use glue to stick it.

Xia Yun spent several days thinking about this bow and arrow that looked pretty good, tried many methods to no avail, and finally threw the bow and arrow on the ground like garbage in his heart.

Yan immediately picked it up and wiped off the dust, "Give it to me, I like it very much."

Xia Yun glanced at him, "Take it."

Bow attempt - failed.

Xia Yun, who is a bow and arrow maker, has healed very well these days. The blood scabs on his legs have hardened, and he won't bleed if he doesn't do big movements.The bruises from Yan's blows have basically dissipated, but the sharp strokes are clearly visible, and it hurts when touched, which shows that the severity of the two strikes is very different.

After a lapse of more than ten days, Yan once again ground the medicinal mud that smeared that place.

Xia Yun was startled, and his happy mood became a little heavy.

He didn't refuse, lying on the haystack, spreading his legs to let the medicine on the rock, the long-lost sense of freshness came from that place again.

"Hmm~" Xia Yun moaned uncomfortably.Groaned.

Yan's breathing stagnated, and he applied the medicine carefully with his eyes, nose, nose, nose, and heart.

In order to distract attention, Yan asked for something to say: "There are a lot of flowers blooming by the small river, they are very beautiful, do you want to see them?"

"Yeah." Xia Yun responded lightly with interest.

Anyway, he has nothing to do, so he might be able to find suitable wood by walking around.

Xia Yun was looking for good wood, he gave up making bows and arrows, and wanted to challenge the more difficult crossbow instead.

The crossbow is more stable and should not be weak in shooting. After a few days of conception, Xia Yun designed the prototype of the crossbow in his mind.

He planned to use denser wood with a certain degree of toughness. Ordinary branches seemed inappropriate, and he didn't have the ability to try them all, so he could only pick one with his eyes open.

The place Yan said was in the small woods, and Xia Yun left by himself if the woods were not in the sun.The two walked to the river, and they saw a large area of ​​yellow flower spots, and the whole area was covered with green colors. The two colors painted a beautiful landscape.

At the end of the flower field is a meandering stream, with the sound of rushing water.

Xia Yun smiled at Yan, and walked over there.Seeing that Xia Yun liked it, the expression on his face softened, and he strode to follow.

The flowers are so lush that it is impossible to set foot on them.Xia Yun didn't go in, walked from the edge to the river, and found a shady grass to do it.He took off his shoes, put his feet in the river, and let out a sigh of comfort.

Although the flowers are lush, there is no smell of pollen, and the air is very clean. It is indeed a good place for leisure and fun. It must be super beautiful to take wedding photos here.

Yan tore a flower, but pulled up the whole plant with roots and soil.He tore off the root in twos and gave the bouquet to Xia Yun.

Xia Yun accepted it with a smile, but his eyes quickly moved to the discarded roots on the ground.

What are those nodules?

There are dense brown balls in the middle of the pile of roots. If it is not a single plant disease, this is a plant that grows fruit on the root.

Xia Yun pointed to Gen and said, "Show me that."

Yan Yiyan picked it up.

Xia Yun held it in his hand and looked carefully, then his eyes widened suddenly, "Peanut?"

He found a slightly larger peanut from the small ball, which was surprisingly in the shape of a gourd.

It's such a big piece...it's actually peanuts?

Then, Xia Yun was silently embarrassed when he didn't recognize the food from snacks to big food.
