After entering the bird tribe, I want to farm
Chapter 158 Bow and Arrow
"Chichi." A soft voice filled the room.
Bai Wu leaned on the table and dozed off, the sun slanted in from the window and fell on him, making him warm.
He heard the chirping sound in his ear and didn't bother to open his eyes.
The egg babies of the nine tribes of the bird orcs stayed at Bai Wu's house for six days, which was long enough for him to get acquainted with them.
These egg babies are very solid, and the door of the store is closed, and the egg babies can't get out at all, so don't worry.
Bai Wu turned her head and continued to sleep.
Seeing that they couldn't wake him up, the chirping eggs shifted slightly and fell asleep.
As soon as Nanyao came back at noon, he saw Bai Wu sleeping soundly on the table, surrounded by big white eggs.
These eggs are laid up like a city wall, surrounding Baiwu tightly in the middle.
One egg even jumped onto Bai Wu's lap, as if warming his thigh.
Nan Yao paused at the door for a while, then entered the door and gently picked up the baby egg next to Bai Wu and put it aside, "Why don't you lie down and sleep?"
"Are you back?" Bai Wu replied vaguely, sitting up straight and rubbing her eyes, "Suddenly I felt sleepy, I took a nap."
"I brought ground berries back, will I make rock candied ground berries later?"
"Do it! Look at the ground berries you brought back? I haven't eaten this stuff for a long time."
Hearing this, Nan Yao pulled the basket on his back to the front.
He put the other harvest outside, and there was only a basket full of purple-black ground berries in the basket, each of which was as big as a ping-pong ball, like plump and clear gems.
When Baiwu gets closer, one can smell the unique sweet aroma of ground berries.
This fragrance poured into the nasal cavity domineeringly, stimulating his saliva to come out.
Bai Wu stretched out his hand to pinch one, threw it directly into his mouth, squeezed his tongue, and the abundant juice splashed out, it was sour and sweet, and had a strong berry aroma.
"Delicious! Where did you get the ground berries? They are much better than the ones we picked last year."
"Just where we were at Groundberry last year."
"Huh? It might be too cold in winter. The ground berries didn't bear fruit last winter, but the nutrients accumulated throughout the winter will bear fruit this year. The fruits are also extraordinarily sweet."
"Eat a few more."
"You can eat it too. Well, it's really delicious. Are there a lot of ground berries outside? You can pick some more and make jam, and then spread bread or steamed bun slices."
"I'll pick it up for you in the afternoon."
"Go in the evening. After Yafu and the others come back, let them look after the eggs, and we will pick them."
"It will be all right."
"Then let this batch of ground berries be made into rock sugar ground berries first? You can watch here for a while, and I'll go to the backyard to chop some bamboo."
Almost all the bamboo in Baiwu's family died last winter. In the spring, their family went to the hot spring to dig up the bamboo that was planted and bred near the hot spring, and now it is planted in the backyard.
They did not cut down the remaining bamboos from last year. Unexpectedly, in the beginning of spring, those bamboos that they had misunderstood as dead would slowly turn green again and sprout new shoots.
In just half a month, the green bamboos became shaded again.
Bai Wu stood in front of the bamboo grove to pick and choose, and broke off a lot of thin bamboo branches.
He went back to the front yard with the bamboo in his arms, and said to Nanyao in the shop, "I'll burn some water and blanch the bamboo sticks."
"I'm here to help."
"Just watch the eggs, don't let them roll out, if you accidentally roll into the fire, it will be a crime."
"Not so stupid."
After Nan Yao finished speaking, he greeted the two big wolves lying under the eaves, "Nanfeng Baixue, watch the eggs, don't let them roll around."
Bai Wu laughed, "Can they understand?"
Nan Yao said lightly, "Maybe I can understand."
As soon as Nanyao finished speaking, Big Wolf and Dan Baobao protested at the same time, "Aww!"
Bai Wu laughed.
The two big wolves protested and went to the door obediently.
Whenever a baby egg is about to come out, they use their paws to gently push the baby egg to the store.
They move quickly and lightly, and guarding the door is a bit of a monopoly, and the momentum of Wanfu is not open. The egg babies are screaming anxiously inside, and there is no way to break through the tight encirclement.
The two lit a fire in the yard, cut the bamboo into sticks, put them in a pot, poured cold water into it, and put it directly into the pot to start boiling.
While cooking the bamboo sticks, the two washed the ground berries in a wooden barrel.
In this day and age, the things growing on the treetops are very clean, you don’t need to wash them, just wash them twice with clean water, and you will get clean fruits when you pick them up.
When Bai Wu picked up all the ground berries in the dustpan and let them drain, she patted Nanyao on the shoulder, "You string the ground berries first, and I'll get some sugar to boil the sugar."
"Is there enough sugar? Is there not much sugar in the jar?"
"That's enough. In addition to the jar outside, there's a big jar under the cutting board. It's enough to take out that jar."
Bai Wu ran into the utility room to get sugar.
Their family has lived here for so long, they have accumulated more and more things, and the utility room has become more and more full, and now there is nowhere to go in.
Bai Wu walked in, put the mess on the ground first, and then approached the jar of sugar step by step.
There are too many jars, and it is difficult for him to walk in the middle of the jars and keep his balance.
When he was about to get close to the jar of sugar, for some reason, he sprained his ankle. He subconsciously put his hands on the jars on both sides to keep his balance. Unexpectedly, this movement knocked off the jar on the side.
"boom--"
The jar was smashed to pieces and its contents rolled all over the floor.
Bai Wu stared at the pot on the ground, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Nan Yao quickly walked into the utility room, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just dropped a jar. The contents of the jar poured out, I'll clean it up and come out right away."
Bai Wu hurriedly bent down, pawed and pulled on the ground twice, and scooped up the contents of the jar.
It was a bunch of deer tendons. When they were going to pick cotton last winter, they specially hunted the deer back, pulled out the deer tendons and dried them for later use.
After the deer tendon was finished making strings for playing cotton, there was still a big ball left, which was useless for a while, so the white glutinous rice was put into a jar and sealed.
Bai Wu squeezed the deer tendon in his hand, the deer tendon in his hand is still very elastic and feels good to the touch.
He put it in front of his eyes and saw that these deer tendons were translucent, very transparent and beautiful.
Used to string pearls and gemstones, the jewelry should look good.
Bai Wu thought so.
This thought flashed through Bai Wu's mind, he quickly put the deer tendon in another jar and put it away, then walked outside with the sugar bowl in his arms.
Nan Yao showed him the ground berry skewers on the plate, "It's all already skewered."
"I'm boiling sugar now, do you want a thicker sugar shell, or a thinner one?"
"Thinner, save some sugar."
Bai Wu laughed dumbly, "There's no need to be so frugal, I just overturned the jar and poured out the deer tendon. After putting it for a while, it seems that the deer tendon has become more beautiful. It should be good for stringing pearls and gems."
"In two days, when I'm not free, I'll fish up the white mussels from the stream. The pearls should be almost grown."
"Okay, let's see the effect. If the effect of raising pearls is good, we can raise another batch this year."
The two of them were talking, and quickly made the Bingtang berry.
The sweet and sour ground berries are wrapped in a thin and crisp rock sugar shell, and you bite into it, no matter the taste or taste, it is a must.
Bai Wu gave Nan Feng and Bai Xue each a bunch, put them in the rice bowls, and let them lie on the side to eat by themselves, which was regarded as a reward for their work.
After they finished making ground berries, there was nothing else to do. It was still bright, and Bai Wu was sitting under the eaves, enjoying the spring breeze, staring at the distant mountains in a daze.
Nan Yao blows the air with him.
Bai Wu was blowing, feeling drowsy again, Nan Yao reached out and pinched the back of his neck, "Don't sleep, or you won't be able to sleep at night."
"Hiss, I'm a little sleepy." Bai Wu rubbed her face, "Why don't you come to play a game?"
"What game do you want to play?"
"I don't know, I'm tired of playing."
Bai Wu searched around in his mind, but he still couldn't think of any games to play, but he remembered the deer tendon in the utility room.
He stared at the string of ground berries stuck in the kitchen, and suddenly asked, "Have you heard of bows and arrows?"
"Ok?"
"It's just a bow. It's not the kind that pops cotton, but something else. There is an arrow on the bow, and you can shoot it when you pull it. The arrow can be shot far away and cause damage to the prey in the distance."
Nan Yao recalled it carefully, "I didn't quite understand it."
"Maybe I don't quite understand. I was thinking, we have deer tendons and bamboo, how about making a bow?"
"How to do this?"
"I think I will, wait for me to recall."
When Bai Wu was a child, he used to dance knives and clubs with his friends, and the slingshot was also a toy they often came into contact with.
Because the conditions at that time were not very good, some of the toys they played with were bought from outside, and most of them were self-made.
Bai Wu also has a certain understanding of bow and arrow.
Bai Wu took out his small notebook, drew a few simple pictures, roughly figured out the structure of the bow and arrow, and handed it to Nan Yao to look at.
"We need two pieces of bamboo first, then a wooden handle, and finally the bow string. The main materials are these three, and the rest of the ingredients are resin, string and horn slices? I haven't made bows and arrows by myself, so let's do it first. When we find something missing when we do it, we will think about it again.”
Bai Wu did what he said. He picked up the hatchet and went to the backyard to find the old bamboo.
Old bamboo has a fine texture, is hard and flexible, and is more durable than young bamboo.
Nan Yao followed behind him, picked a bamboo that was old enough with him, and felled the bamboo.
They only need the section close to the roots of the bamboo.
According to his size, Bai Wu took a section of bamboo that was close to the height of his chest, and then cut the bamboo into four halves.
Bamboo has knots in it, so he knocked them off first.
They were busy here, and Chuanhe Kishi came back with the collected food.
These bamboo joints are very hard, and when struck with a knife, they make a bang sound, and the sound can be heard far away.
As soon as Kishi landed, he asked: "Are these eggs still behaved today? What are you doing at home? I heard the sound from a long way away."
"Make a weapon." Bai Wu didn't lift his head, "I just made rock candied berries, remember to eat them."
"Is it making bamboo knives?"
"No, make bows and arrows."
When Bai Wu knocked off the bamboo joints, he was sweating profusely.
Nan Yao took over his work, "I'll do the rest, what else do I have to do?"
"I'll draw it first, as if I need to scrape off some of the bamboo flesh." Bai Wu gestured with his finger, and found that the bamboo flesh was thicker than his finger, "Leave half of it, wait, I'll take the charcoal pencil first Come here, let's make a mark, so as not to make mistakes."
Chuan and Kishi watched for a while, but didn't see Mingtang.
Shore went to the store to play with the egg babies, while Chuan went to cook.
Bai Wu and Nanyao found the tools at home, and patiently planed off the excess bamboo flesh.
While they were working, several tribes came to pick up the egg babies.
Every tribe that came over had to watch around them for a while to see what they were doing.
However, no one could guess it. Everyone only knew that they were going to make something new again.
Bai Wu got excited and continued to make bamboo after dinner.
They had a lot of tools, a lot of people, and a lot of strength, so they quickly cleaned up the bamboo meat.
Baiwu found the strongest piece of wood from the utility room, and drew a crescent on it with a charcoal pencil. He and Nanyao used a saw to cut out the substandard crescent.
This is the handle of the bow.
Once the handles were done, they lit a fire and started roasting the bamboo.
As the bamboo was roasted, the color gradually turned yellowish green, and then small blisters appeared.
While roasting bamboo, they use a knife to file one side of the bamboo to make it rougher, and at the same time roughen the handle to increase the friction between the two materials and make it easier to bond later.
After finally waiting for the bamboo to be baked, the bamboo meat and the handle are also filed.
Bai Wu and Nan Yao put on their hand socks, put the handle in the center of the two pieces of bamboo, put the two pieces of bamboo, which were still hot, facing each other with the bamboo skin facing outwards.
Because the handle is crescent-shaped, the bamboo attached to the handle also becomes a curved bow.
After pasting, the bow first took shape, and they quickly tied the bow firmly with a rope to fix its shape.
The family still has the resin used to build the house last year. Bai Wu found the resin, melted it in water, and glued two pieces of bamboo with the resin.
When they did this, it was already late at night, and they could hear distant birdsong, Bai Wu rubbed his eyes, stretched himself, "I'll do the rest tomorrow."
"Then go take a shower."
They went to the hot spring to take a bath, and slept again, and they slept very refreshed.
The next day, Bai Wu got up and had a quick breakfast, then tossed his bow again.
When the family went to feed the livestock, feed the porpoise, and receive the tribe, he made a bow and kept thinking.
Making bows and arrows is a very tedious task, and Bai Wu never thinks her life is boring anymore.
He spent another day, and the bow was not finished yet.
He is constantly adjusting, polishing, winding, patching, hanging, readjusting, polishing, oiling, and winding the bow.
While making bows, he also made arrows.
After spending another day, Bai Wu finally started to make the bow.
This bow was huge, and when it stood up, it could reach his chest, and it looked majestic and majestic.
Bai Wu showed it to his family, even if the family didn't know what he made, they thought the bow was very good.
Kishi urged, "Give it a try, how do you play this bow?"
"I haven't got the arrow ready yet."
"How do I get the arrows? I'll do it with you."
"Not much left."
Bai Wu took a deep breath, picked up the arrow placed beside her and adjusted it, then put it in her shoulder bag, and led them to the backyard.
He set up a small target in the backyard.
When Bai Wu was drawing the bow, he found that this bow might be a bit beyond his imagination.
He pulled it more easily the first time and the second time, but when he pulled it a dozen or so times, the muscles in his chest hurt a little.
He had already tried it once during the day, and had a little experience in archery. At the urging of Kian, he didn't hesitate, and directly put the arrow into the bow, pulled the bow and let it go.
"Whoosh—" The arrow shot directly to the side of the mountain with the sound of piercing through the air.
This arrow missed, Bai Wu didn't hesitate, took out another arrow, squinted his eyes and shot another arrow.
He shot seven arrows in a row, and the last arrow made a "boo" sound and stuck into the wooden target, penetrating three points.
Bai Wu quietly stretched her sore pectoralis major, and raised her chin towards his brother, "Is it fun?"
"Fun! Come on, let me try it too."
"Get back the arrows first, and I'll make those few useful arrows."
"Okay, I'll go pick it up now."
An excitedly picked up all the arrows, stood at the position of Baiwu station, pointed at the wooden rake, and shot with his bow.
His strength was not as strong as Bai Wu's, and his aim was not as good as Bai Wu's. The first three arrows didn't even hit the edge of the board, and the last four arrows couldn't draw the bow, and the shots went more and more crooked.
Even so, he still couldn't finish it, "It's fun, I'll go and get the arrow back, let's shoot again."
"It's not just for fun, it's for hunting."
"How do you hunt with this thing? If you can't aim and shoot, it's better to use our claws. Besides, even if it hits the target, it won't be of much use, right? You see, even wood can't be shot through."
"That's because of the wooden arrows we use. After I improve them, I can shoot them with iron arrows soon."
"How do you use the iron arrow? Do you want someone from the Eagle clan to shoot at the wooden arrow?"
"No, as long as the iron arrow is made of iron, it is fine, and it is mounted on a wooden pole."
"Okay, I'll shoot two more arrows, I'll feel it."
"Don't play tricks, it's Nan Yao's turn this time." Regardless of his brother's eager expression, Bai Wu took the bow from his brother and handed it to Nan Yao, "You try."
Nan Yao took the bow in his hand, first drew the empty bow fully, felt it several times, and then installed the arrow.
When Nanyao had a bow and arrow in his hand, his aura immediately changed. He drew the arrow fully, aimed at the wooden target in the distance, and swished the arrow.
When he shot the arrow, the speed of the arrow was extremely fast, and it was nailed to the board almost instantly, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking.
He also shot sideways, and the arrow only hit the edge of the target.
Nan Yao took a look, adjusted his posture, drew another arrow, and shot it out again.
He shot better arrows than arrows, but even with the last arrow, he still missed the bull's-eye.
"Huh?" Bai Wu looked at him suspiciously, "You didn't hit the bull's-eye, you shouldn't."
"There seems to be something wrong with this bow."
"Where is the problem? I tried it at home all afternoon, and it seems a little strange. I have adjusted it several times."
Nan Yao stretched out his hand and gestured, "This side is heavier than this side."
Nan Yao's sensitivity is much stronger than Bai Wu's. Bai Wu attaches great importance to his feelings, and gestures with his bow for a long time, but he doesn't have this talent, so he still can't detect what went wrong.
Bai Wu finally found a thread, tied it to the center of the bow, and hung the bow from a tree, only then did he find out the imbalance.
The two changed their bows overnight again.
Bai Wu removed the string from the bow and rewound it. In the end, they found that it was not a problem with the string, but that the bow itself was not balanced when it was made.
Nan Yao said: "You can also use it, get used to it being an unbalanced bow, and it will get better with time."
"No." Bai Wu stared at the bow with her hands on her hips, "It's still not good enough, I can't pass the test in my heart, let's make another bow."
Kishi heard their conversation from the side, raised his hand and said, "Then leave this one for me to play with, I find the bow is quite fun."
"No, bows are weapons for hunting. If you get used to playing with unqualified bows and develop bad habits in the future, it will be bad."
"I probably wouldn't use this thing to hunt. This thing can't hit a wooden target that can't be shot, and it's even more difficult to shoot prey."
Bai Wu just wanted to tell him that practice makes perfect.
Mo suddenly interjected from the side, "That's not right. The bow may not be very useful in formal hunting, but it is different in gathering. It is used for hunting small prey, and it will be very useful."
Kishi objected, "No way, we can't hit such a big target, but can we still hit small prey?"
Bai Wu hurriedly said: "Of course I can. Practice a few more times and you will be able to shoot when you get used to shooting. There are so many small animals outside. When they are looking for food or resting, they will stand still in one place for a long time. The wooden target is not much different."
Kishi stroked his chin.
Bai Wu: "They are easier to shoot than wooden targets, and the flesh is softer than wood. Think about it, if you see a small prey within ten steps, you will startle it by running over, and it is too late to change into a beast on the spot. At this time, use a bow and arrow , if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to knock it down directly.”
Mo Dao: "Many places will be easy to use, such as bushes, branches, and water surfaces. These are places that are inconvenient for human figures. It is much more convenient to use arrows."
Mo is indeed an old hunter. Bai Wu was not so clear about the use of bows before. Hearing what he said, his heart became more and more fiery, "Then I will make another bow tomorrow. This bow—"
Bai Wu looked at the bow in his hand, "This bow isn't very useful, it's just in the store, so I took the strings off and put it in the store to have a look. Does anyone want to change it to play cotton?"
The first time is raw, the second time is familiar, when Bai Wu made the bow for the second time, his skills were much more proficient than the last time.
Nan Yao stayed at home to make bows with him, and watched the egg baby at home.
Nan Yao's hands are very accurate and his senses are very keen, even comparable to measuring instruments in one aspect.
The two worked day and night, and finally made a new bow within three days.
In order to match this new bow, Bai Wu specially ordered a batch of arrowheads from the Eagle Clan.
The Ying people are now proficient in forging iron, and when Bai Wu ordered it, he made a model for them and asked them to follow the model.
After the arrowhead was brought back, Bai Wu and Nanyao polished it and re-adjusted it before placing the arrowhead on the wooden pole.
Their new bows are heavier, harder to draw and more delicate than the old ones.
It's hard to imagine how they made such an exquisite bow from nothing.
This time, Nan Yao came to test.
The bow is equipped with arrows with iron arrowheads, coupled with Nan Yao's excellent eyesight and precise control, the arrows shot are almost invincible.
He shot five arrows for the first time, hit the target every time, and hit the bull's eye with one.
"Good arrow skills!" Bai Wu clapped her hands and sighed, and pulled him on the spot, "Come on, let's try to shoot birds in the vegetable field!"
Birds have always been the scourge of Baiwu's family's vegetable fields. Even if they raise two big wolves, they still can't take care of them. The vegetables and other crops in their family are often pecked into a mess by birds.
Bai Wu hated these birds so much, but he didn't have a good way to deal with them.
They can't change back into animal form and stay in the field from morning till night, that would be too much delay.
Besides, it takes time for them to transform into beasts, and the birds fly away before they transform.
This time they finally had long-range weapons, Bai Wu raised his head and chest, and dragged Nan Yao to the field.
The Bai people have opened up wasteland near their farmland. At this time, there are people working in the farmland of the Bai people. Seeing them coming, the people of the Bai people greeted them one after another.
"Master Priest, Lord Wu, are your bows ready?"
"It's already done, this is the second one. Let's come and try the effect of the bow."
"How to try, what are you going to shoot?"
"Bird! Don't talk anymore, let's try it first."
As Bai Wu spoke, he lightly pestered Nanyao, and looked at him expectantly.
Nan Yao turned around, took Bai Wu to the middle of the vegetable field, put the arrow on the bow, and aimed at a bird on the tree.
The bird had a black back and a white belly, about one or two catties in size, similar to the pullets Bai Wu had seen in her previous life.
Birds of this size are very alert, and Bai Wu himself has never caught this kind of bird.
He had only ever picked up the eggs of this bird.
Nan Yao drew his bow fully, pointed at the bird, and lightly released an arrow.
With a light piercing sound, the bird that was grooming leisurely on the branch fell down.
"Click", the bird fell to the ground, dead and dead.
So fast!
Bai Wu opened his eyes wide, looked at Nanyao, and then at the birds on the ground, "Cow."
Nan Yao smiled a little, "It's easy to say."
Bai Wu leaned on the table and dozed off, the sun slanted in from the window and fell on him, making him warm.
He heard the chirping sound in his ear and didn't bother to open his eyes.
The egg babies of the nine tribes of the bird orcs stayed at Bai Wu's house for six days, which was long enough for him to get acquainted with them.
These egg babies are very solid, and the door of the store is closed, and the egg babies can't get out at all, so don't worry.
Bai Wu turned her head and continued to sleep.
Seeing that they couldn't wake him up, the chirping eggs shifted slightly and fell asleep.
As soon as Nanyao came back at noon, he saw Bai Wu sleeping soundly on the table, surrounded by big white eggs.
These eggs are laid up like a city wall, surrounding Baiwu tightly in the middle.
One egg even jumped onto Bai Wu's lap, as if warming his thigh.
Nan Yao paused at the door for a while, then entered the door and gently picked up the baby egg next to Bai Wu and put it aside, "Why don't you lie down and sleep?"
"Are you back?" Bai Wu replied vaguely, sitting up straight and rubbing her eyes, "Suddenly I felt sleepy, I took a nap."
"I brought ground berries back, will I make rock candied ground berries later?"
"Do it! Look at the ground berries you brought back? I haven't eaten this stuff for a long time."
Hearing this, Nan Yao pulled the basket on his back to the front.
He put the other harvest outside, and there was only a basket full of purple-black ground berries in the basket, each of which was as big as a ping-pong ball, like plump and clear gems.
When Baiwu gets closer, one can smell the unique sweet aroma of ground berries.
This fragrance poured into the nasal cavity domineeringly, stimulating his saliva to come out.
Bai Wu stretched out his hand to pinch one, threw it directly into his mouth, squeezed his tongue, and the abundant juice splashed out, it was sour and sweet, and had a strong berry aroma.
"Delicious! Where did you get the ground berries? They are much better than the ones we picked last year."
"Just where we were at Groundberry last year."
"Huh? It might be too cold in winter. The ground berries didn't bear fruit last winter, but the nutrients accumulated throughout the winter will bear fruit this year. The fruits are also extraordinarily sweet."
"Eat a few more."
"You can eat it too. Well, it's really delicious. Are there a lot of ground berries outside? You can pick some more and make jam, and then spread bread or steamed bun slices."
"I'll pick it up for you in the afternoon."
"Go in the evening. After Yafu and the others come back, let them look after the eggs, and we will pick them."
"It will be all right."
"Then let this batch of ground berries be made into rock sugar ground berries first? You can watch here for a while, and I'll go to the backyard to chop some bamboo."
Almost all the bamboo in Baiwu's family died last winter. In the spring, their family went to the hot spring to dig up the bamboo that was planted and bred near the hot spring, and now it is planted in the backyard.
They did not cut down the remaining bamboos from last year. Unexpectedly, in the beginning of spring, those bamboos that they had misunderstood as dead would slowly turn green again and sprout new shoots.
In just half a month, the green bamboos became shaded again.
Bai Wu stood in front of the bamboo grove to pick and choose, and broke off a lot of thin bamboo branches.
He went back to the front yard with the bamboo in his arms, and said to Nanyao in the shop, "I'll burn some water and blanch the bamboo sticks."
"I'm here to help."
"Just watch the eggs, don't let them roll out, if you accidentally roll into the fire, it will be a crime."
"Not so stupid."
After Nan Yao finished speaking, he greeted the two big wolves lying under the eaves, "Nanfeng Baixue, watch the eggs, don't let them roll around."
Bai Wu laughed, "Can they understand?"
Nan Yao said lightly, "Maybe I can understand."
As soon as Nanyao finished speaking, Big Wolf and Dan Baobao protested at the same time, "Aww!"
Bai Wu laughed.
The two big wolves protested and went to the door obediently.
Whenever a baby egg is about to come out, they use their paws to gently push the baby egg to the store.
They move quickly and lightly, and guarding the door is a bit of a monopoly, and the momentum of Wanfu is not open. The egg babies are screaming anxiously inside, and there is no way to break through the tight encirclement.
The two lit a fire in the yard, cut the bamboo into sticks, put them in a pot, poured cold water into it, and put it directly into the pot to start boiling.
While cooking the bamboo sticks, the two washed the ground berries in a wooden barrel.
In this day and age, the things growing on the treetops are very clean, you don’t need to wash them, just wash them twice with clean water, and you will get clean fruits when you pick them up.
When Bai Wu picked up all the ground berries in the dustpan and let them drain, she patted Nanyao on the shoulder, "You string the ground berries first, and I'll get some sugar to boil the sugar."
"Is there enough sugar? Is there not much sugar in the jar?"
"That's enough. In addition to the jar outside, there's a big jar under the cutting board. It's enough to take out that jar."
Bai Wu ran into the utility room to get sugar.
Their family has lived here for so long, they have accumulated more and more things, and the utility room has become more and more full, and now there is nowhere to go in.
Bai Wu walked in, put the mess on the ground first, and then approached the jar of sugar step by step.
There are too many jars, and it is difficult for him to walk in the middle of the jars and keep his balance.
When he was about to get close to the jar of sugar, for some reason, he sprained his ankle. He subconsciously put his hands on the jars on both sides to keep his balance. Unexpectedly, this movement knocked off the jar on the side.
"boom--"
The jar was smashed to pieces and its contents rolled all over the floor.
Bai Wu stared at the pot on the ground, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Nan Yao quickly walked into the utility room, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I just dropped a jar. The contents of the jar poured out, I'll clean it up and come out right away."
Bai Wu hurriedly bent down, pawed and pulled on the ground twice, and scooped up the contents of the jar.
It was a bunch of deer tendons. When they were going to pick cotton last winter, they specially hunted the deer back, pulled out the deer tendons and dried them for later use.
After the deer tendon was finished making strings for playing cotton, there was still a big ball left, which was useless for a while, so the white glutinous rice was put into a jar and sealed.
Bai Wu squeezed the deer tendon in his hand, the deer tendon in his hand is still very elastic and feels good to the touch.
He put it in front of his eyes and saw that these deer tendons were translucent, very transparent and beautiful.
Used to string pearls and gemstones, the jewelry should look good.
Bai Wu thought so.
This thought flashed through Bai Wu's mind, he quickly put the deer tendon in another jar and put it away, then walked outside with the sugar bowl in his arms.
Nan Yao showed him the ground berry skewers on the plate, "It's all already skewered."
"I'm boiling sugar now, do you want a thicker sugar shell, or a thinner one?"
"Thinner, save some sugar."
Bai Wu laughed dumbly, "There's no need to be so frugal, I just overturned the jar and poured out the deer tendon. After putting it for a while, it seems that the deer tendon has become more beautiful. It should be good for stringing pearls and gems."
"In two days, when I'm not free, I'll fish up the white mussels from the stream. The pearls should be almost grown."
"Okay, let's see the effect. If the effect of raising pearls is good, we can raise another batch this year."
The two of them were talking, and quickly made the Bingtang berry.
The sweet and sour ground berries are wrapped in a thin and crisp rock sugar shell, and you bite into it, no matter the taste or taste, it is a must.
Bai Wu gave Nan Feng and Bai Xue each a bunch, put them in the rice bowls, and let them lie on the side to eat by themselves, which was regarded as a reward for their work.
After they finished making ground berries, there was nothing else to do. It was still bright, and Bai Wu was sitting under the eaves, enjoying the spring breeze, staring at the distant mountains in a daze.
Nan Yao blows the air with him.
Bai Wu was blowing, feeling drowsy again, Nan Yao reached out and pinched the back of his neck, "Don't sleep, or you won't be able to sleep at night."
"Hiss, I'm a little sleepy." Bai Wu rubbed her face, "Why don't you come to play a game?"
"What game do you want to play?"
"I don't know, I'm tired of playing."
Bai Wu searched around in his mind, but he still couldn't think of any games to play, but he remembered the deer tendon in the utility room.
He stared at the string of ground berries stuck in the kitchen, and suddenly asked, "Have you heard of bows and arrows?"
"Ok?"
"It's just a bow. It's not the kind that pops cotton, but something else. There is an arrow on the bow, and you can shoot it when you pull it. The arrow can be shot far away and cause damage to the prey in the distance."
Nan Yao recalled it carefully, "I didn't quite understand it."
"Maybe I don't quite understand. I was thinking, we have deer tendons and bamboo, how about making a bow?"
"How to do this?"
"I think I will, wait for me to recall."
When Bai Wu was a child, he used to dance knives and clubs with his friends, and the slingshot was also a toy they often came into contact with.
Because the conditions at that time were not very good, some of the toys they played with were bought from outside, and most of them were self-made.
Bai Wu also has a certain understanding of bow and arrow.
Bai Wu took out his small notebook, drew a few simple pictures, roughly figured out the structure of the bow and arrow, and handed it to Nan Yao to look at.
"We need two pieces of bamboo first, then a wooden handle, and finally the bow string. The main materials are these three, and the rest of the ingredients are resin, string and horn slices? I haven't made bows and arrows by myself, so let's do it first. When we find something missing when we do it, we will think about it again.”
Bai Wu did what he said. He picked up the hatchet and went to the backyard to find the old bamboo.
Old bamboo has a fine texture, is hard and flexible, and is more durable than young bamboo.
Nan Yao followed behind him, picked a bamboo that was old enough with him, and felled the bamboo.
They only need the section close to the roots of the bamboo.
According to his size, Bai Wu took a section of bamboo that was close to the height of his chest, and then cut the bamboo into four halves.
Bamboo has knots in it, so he knocked them off first.
They were busy here, and Chuanhe Kishi came back with the collected food.
These bamboo joints are very hard, and when struck with a knife, they make a bang sound, and the sound can be heard far away.
As soon as Kishi landed, he asked: "Are these eggs still behaved today? What are you doing at home? I heard the sound from a long way away."
"Make a weapon." Bai Wu didn't lift his head, "I just made rock candied berries, remember to eat them."
"Is it making bamboo knives?"
"No, make bows and arrows."
When Bai Wu knocked off the bamboo joints, he was sweating profusely.
Nan Yao took over his work, "I'll do the rest, what else do I have to do?"
"I'll draw it first, as if I need to scrape off some of the bamboo flesh." Bai Wu gestured with his finger, and found that the bamboo flesh was thicker than his finger, "Leave half of it, wait, I'll take the charcoal pencil first Come here, let's make a mark, so as not to make mistakes."
Chuan and Kishi watched for a while, but didn't see Mingtang.
Shore went to the store to play with the egg babies, while Chuan went to cook.
Bai Wu and Nanyao found the tools at home, and patiently planed off the excess bamboo flesh.
While they were working, several tribes came to pick up the egg babies.
Every tribe that came over had to watch around them for a while to see what they were doing.
However, no one could guess it. Everyone only knew that they were going to make something new again.
Bai Wu got excited and continued to make bamboo after dinner.
They had a lot of tools, a lot of people, and a lot of strength, so they quickly cleaned up the bamboo meat.
Baiwu found the strongest piece of wood from the utility room, and drew a crescent on it with a charcoal pencil. He and Nanyao used a saw to cut out the substandard crescent.
This is the handle of the bow.
Once the handles were done, they lit a fire and started roasting the bamboo.
As the bamboo was roasted, the color gradually turned yellowish green, and then small blisters appeared.
While roasting bamboo, they use a knife to file one side of the bamboo to make it rougher, and at the same time roughen the handle to increase the friction between the two materials and make it easier to bond later.
After finally waiting for the bamboo to be baked, the bamboo meat and the handle are also filed.
Bai Wu and Nan Yao put on their hand socks, put the handle in the center of the two pieces of bamboo, put the two pieces of bamboo, which were still hot, facing each other with the bamboo skin facing outwards.
Because the handle is crescent-shaped, the bamboo attached to the handle also becomes a curved bow.
After pasting, the bow first took shape, and they quickly tied the bow firmly with a rope to fix its shape.
The family still has the resin used to build the house last year. Bai Wu found the resin, melted it in water, and glued two pieces of bamboo with the resin.
When they did this, it was already late at night, and they could hear distant birdsong, Bai Wu rubbed his eyes, stretched himself, "I'll do the rest tomorrow."
"Then go take a shower."
They went to the hot spring to take a bath, and slept again, and they slept very refreshed.
The next day, Bai Wu got up and had a quick breakfast, then tossed his bow again.
When the family went to feed the livestock, feed the porpoise, and receive the tribe, he made a bow and kept thinking.
Making bows and arrows is a very tedious task, and Bai Wu never thinks her life is boring anymore.
He spent another day, and the bow was not finished yet.
He is constantly adjusting, polishing, winding, patching, hanging, readjusting, polishing, oiling, and winding the bow.
While making bows, he also made arrows.
After spending another day, Bai Wu finally started to make the bow.
This bow was huge, and when it stood up, it could reach his chest, and it looked majestic and majestic.
Bai Wu showed it to his family, even if the family didn't know what he made, they thought the bow was very good.
Kishi urged, "Give it a try, how do you play this bow?"
"I haven't got the arrow ready yet."
"How do I get the arrows? I'll do it with you."
"Not much left."
Bai Wu took a deep breath, picked up the arrow placed beside her and adjusted it, then put it in her shoulder bag, and led them to the backyard.
He set up a small target in the backyard.
When Bai Wu was drawing the bow, he found that this bow might be a bit beyond his imagination.
He pulled it more easily the first time and the second time, but when he pulled it a dozen or so times, the muscles in his chest hurt a little.
He had already tried it once during the day, and had a little experience in archery. At the urging of Kian, he didn't hesitate, and directly put the arrow into the bow, pulled the bow and let it go.
"Whoosh—" The arrow shot directly to the side of the mountain with the sound of piercing through the air.
This arrow missed, Bai Wu didn't hesitate, took out another arrow, squinted his eyes and shot another arrow.
He shot seven arrows in a row, and the last arrow made a "boo" sound and stuck into the wooden target, penetrating three points.
Bai Wu quietly stretched her sore pectoralis major, and raised her chin towards his brother, "Is it fun?"
"Fun! Come on, let me try it too."
"Get back the arrows first, and I'll make those few useful arrows."
"Okay, I'll go pick it up now."
An excitedly picked up all the arrows, stood at the position of Baiwu station, pointed at the wooden rake, and shot with his bow.
His strength was not as strong as Bai Wu's, and his aim was not as good as Bai Wu's. The first three arrows didn't even hit the edge of the board, and the last four arrows couldn't draw the bow, and the shots went more and more crooked.
Even so, he still couldn't finish it, "It's fun, I'll go and get the arrow back, let's shoot again."
"It's not just for fun, it's for hunting."
"How do you hunt with this thing? If you can't aim and shoot, it's better to use our claws. Besides, even if it hits the target, it won't be of much use, right? You see, even wood can't be shot through."
"That's because of the wooden arrows we use. After I improve them, I can shoot them with iron arrows soon."
"How do you use the iron arrow? Do you want someone from the Eagle clan to shoot at the wooden arrow?"
"No, as long as the iron arrow is made of iron, it is fine, and it is mounted on a wooden pole."
"Okay, I'll shoot two more arrows, I'll feel it."
"Don't play tricks, it's Nan Yao's turn this time." Regardless of his brother's eager expression, Bai Wu took the bow from his brother and handed it to Nan Yao, "You try."
Nan Yao took the bow in his hand, first drew the empty bow fully, felt it several times, and then installed the arrow.
When Nanyao had a bow and arrow in his hand, his aura immediately changed. He drew the arrow fully, aimed at the wooden target in the distance, and swished the arrow.
When he shot the arrow, the speed of the arrow was extremely fast, and it was nailed to the board almost instantly, and the tail of the arrow was still shaking.
He also shot sideways, and the arrow only hit the edge of the target.
Nan Yao took a look, adjusted his posture, drew another arrow, and shot it out again.
He shot better arrows than arrows, but even with the last arrow, he still missed the bull's-eye.
"Huh?" Bai Wu looked at him suspiciously, "You didn't hit the bull's-eye, you shouldn't."
"There seems to be something wrong with this bow."
"Where is the problem? I tried it at home all afternoon, and it seems a little strange. I have adjusted it several times."
Nan Yao stretched out his hand and gestured, "This side is heavier than this side."
Nan Yao's sensitivity is much stronger than Bai Wu's. Bai Wu attaches great importance to his feelings, and gestures with his bow for a long time, but he doesn't have this talent, so he still can't detect what went wrong.
Bai Wu finally found a thread, tied it to the center of the bow, and hung the bow from a tree, only then did he find out the imbalance.
The two changed their bows overnight again.
Bai Wu removed the string from the bow and rewound it. In the end, they found that it was not a problem with the string, but that the bow itself was not balanced when it was made.
Nan Yao said: "You can also use it, get used to it being an unbalanced bow, and it will get better with time."
"No." Bai Wu stared at the bow with her hands on her hips, "It's still not good enough, I can't pass the test in my heart, let's make another bow."
Kishi heard their conversation from the side, raised his hand and said, "Then leave this one for me to play with, I find the bow is quite fun."
"No, bows are weapons for hunting. If you get used to playing with unqualified bows and develop bad habits in the future, it will be bad."
"I probably wouldn't use this thing to hunt. This thing can't hit a wooden target that can't be shot, and it's even more difficult to shoot prey."
Bai Wu just wanted to tell him that practice makes perfect.
Mo suddenly interjected from the side, "That's not right. The bow may not be very useful in formal hunting, but it is different in gathering. It is used for hunting small prey, and it will be very useful."
Kishi objected, "No way, we can't hit such a big target, but can we still hit small prey?"
Bai Wu hurriedly said: "Of course I can. Practice a few more times and you will be able to shoot when you get used to shooting. There are so many small animals outside. When they are looking for food or resting, they will stand still in one place for a long time. The wooden target is not much different."
Kishi stroked his chin.
Bai Wu: "They are easier to shoot than wooden targets, and the flesh is softer than wood. Think about it, if you see a small prey within ten steps, you will startle it by running over, and it is too late to change into a beast on the spot. At this time, use a bow and arrow , if you’re lucky, you’ll be able to knock it down directly.”
Mo Dao: "Many places will be easy to use, such as bushes, branches, and water surfaces. These are places that are inconvenient for human figures. It is much more convenient to use arrows."
Mo is indeed an old hunter. Bai Wu was not so clear about the use of bows before. Hearing what he said, his heart became more and more fiery, "Then I will make another bow tomorrow. This bow—"
Bai Wu looked at the bow in his hand, "This bow isn't very useful, it's just in the store, so I took the strings off and put it in the store to have a look. Does anyone want to change it to play cotton?"
The first time is raw, the second time is familiar, when Bai Wu made the bow for the second time, his skills were much more proficient than the last time.
Nan Yao stayed at home to make bows with him, and watched the egg baby at home.
Nan Yao's hands are very accurate and his senses are very keen, even comparable to measuring instruments in one aspect.
The two worked day and night, and finally made a new bow within three days.
In order to match this new bow, Bai Wu specially ordered a batch of arrowheads from the Eagle Clan.
The Ying people are now proficient in forging iron, and when Bai Wu ordered it, he made a model for them and asked them to follow the model.
After the arrowhead was brought back, Bai Wu and Nanyao polished it and re-adjusted it before placing the arrowhead on the wooden pole.
Their new bows are heavier, harder to draw and more delicate than the old ones.
It's hard to imagine how they made such an exquisite bow from nothing.
This time, Nan Yao came to test.
The bow is equipped with arrows with iron arrowheads, coupled with Nan Yao's excellent eyesight and precise control, the arrows shot are almost invincible.
He shot five arrows for the first time, hit the target every time, and hit the bull's eye with one.
"Good arrow skills!" Bai Wu clapped her hands and sighed, and pulled him on the spot, "Come on, let's try to shoot birds in the vegetable field!"
Birds have always been the scourge of Baiwu's family's vegetable fields. Even if they raise two big wolves, they still can't take care of them. The vegetables and other crops in their family are often pecked into a mess by birds.
Bai Wu hated these birds so much, but he didn't have a good way to deal with them.
They can't change back into animal form and stay in the field from morning till night, that would be too much delay.
Besides, it takes time for them to transform into beasts, and the birds fly away before they transform.
This time they finally had long-range weapons, Bai Wu raised his head and chest, and dragged Nan Yao to the field.
The Bai people have opened up wasteland near their farmland. At this time, there are people working in the farmland of the Bai people. Seeing them coming, the people of the Bai people greeted them one after another.
"Master Priest, Lord Wu, are your bows ready?"
"It's already done, this is the second one. Let's come and try the effect of the bow."
"How to try, what are you going to shoot?"
"Bird! Don't talk anymore, let's try it first."
As Bai Wu spoke, he lightly pestered Nanyao, and looked at him expectantly.
Nan Yao turned around, took Bai Wu to the middle of the vegetable field, put the arrow on the bow, and aimed at a bird on the tree.
The bird had a black back and a white belly, about one or two catties in size, similar to the pullets Bai Wu had seen in her previous life.
Birds of this size are very alert, and Bai Wu himself has never caught this kind of bird.
He had only ever picked up the eggs of this bird.
Nan Yao drew his bow fully, pointed at the bird, and lightly released an arrow.
With a light piercing sound, the bird that was grooming leisurely on the branch fell down.
"Click", the bird fell to the ground, dead and dead.
So fast!
Bai Wu opened his eyes wide, looked at Nanyao, and then at the birds on the ground, "Cow."
Nan Yao smiled a little, "It's easy to say."
