Chapter 16 Crossbow

ps: Everyone! You can almost surpass the previous one a little bit! As long as you exceed it, Mu Mu will be cruel to himself, today and tomorrow’s fourth update! Everyone! Now it depends on your support!

…………

Yang Zilu explained: "I often hunt in autumn at home, and I have left some skills! Besides, there are only a few students in teaching. Mr. Zhao and I divided these students equally. Either everyone just barely got a living, but it was better to go up the mountain to hunt!" Besides, I might not be able to compete for Mr. Zhao.

When Zong Bi heard this, he sighed: "Young Master is kind and righteous! Since that's the case, I will go to the city to report to you!"

"That's the hard work of the village chief!" Yang Zilu said politely, stood up and prepared to see him off.

"Sincerely, please stay!" Zong Pi said politely with his fists at Yang Zilu.

Although Zong Pi had already said to stay, Yang Zilu still sent Zong Pi to the yard. Although he was now holding a noble title, this thing was unreliable. There was no such thing as: "It is better to be in charge of the county magistrate."

When he returned to the room, Zheng Datian patted Yang Zilu on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Young master, the village chief is not actually rushing the young master away, nor forcing the young master to pay taxes. It's really the current life... Alas!"

"I understand! Uncle Zheng, don't worry, I understand these things!" Yang Zilu said with a smile. Whether he understands or does not understand, if he wants to survive on this land, he must follow the rules of this land unless he can change the rules of this land.

Yang Zilu did not stay at home in the morning and slept in. The words of the village chief Zongpi made him feel a sense of oppression for his current survival. Not long after Zongpi left, Yang Zilu went up the mountain with Zheng Datian, cut a fir tree, and collected a large bag of soap beans and medicinal materials. Originally, Yang Zilu was preparing to make money by making original laundry detergent, but Zheng Dan was selling the news out. Everyone in Huanshaxi knew to use crushed soap beans to wash clothes. Yang Zilu mixed mint and soap beans to take a bath, and was exposed in less than two days. Yang Zilu sighed that ancient people were really "unscrupulous" and without any moral "protecting patents".

When making soap, Yang Zilu did not forget to make crossbows, and also had to take into account the injuries of the savage black bear and the little fox. Originally, because the linen was unnecessary, Yang Zilu asked Zheng Dan to help Xiao Hu make a set of clothes. However, it was exchanged for Zheng Dan's cold snorting.

Yang Zilu was helpless. The little fox didn't have underwear or something, only a beast-skin top and an animal-skin skirt. Yang Zilu had seen the fleeting spring light one after another. For a virgin, it was even more beastly than beasts. If it wasn't, it was worse than beasts. This torture prompted Yang Zilu to press on her scalp even if she had to sew it herself.

However, I have to say that this era is so fucking depressed. The sewing is made of bone needles. As long as Yang Zilu's finger is pricked, it will definitely be a big wound. In the end, Yi Guang discovered that several wounds appeared on Yang Zilu's fingers and helped sew them. Otherwise, Yang Zilu's ten fingers would be disabled and would not have been sewn into a piece of clothing.

At this time, Yu Yu, the hunter who regarded Yang Zilu as a master, also came to help Yang Zilu make bowstrings. Zheng Datian had forgotten to buy the bowstrings. After Yu Yu knew about it, he immediately contributed three bowstrings for free.

Three days later, Yang Zilu stepped on her homemade crossbow collar with her left foot, and used both hands to slowly pull the bowstring onto the trigger.

"Huh!" Yang Zilu let out a long sigh, shook her slightly sore hands. She frowned and murmured: "It's really troublesome to use the bow string. After taking it two or three times, I guess she won't have the strength!"

Yu Le looked at Yang Zilu with a shocked look and said, "Master, you are so awesome! These three bowstrings are twisted together and they will be pulled apart for you!"

"Stop talking nonsense, come over with a crossbow arrow!" Yang Zilu curled her lips. Although she didn't think of her apprentice, she had no choice but to be unable to beat her. After a few days, whether Yang Zilu agreed or disagreed, she called Yang Zilu as her master. Yang Zilu asked him to change his words and agreed in front of Yang Zilu, but in a blink of an eye, she called her master again. Yang Zilu finally made a promise.

The crossbow arrow was quickly brought over. Although Yang Zilu had never made a crossbow. Fortunately, in order to relax, he not only ran into the mountains, but also went to amusement parks, museums and other things. Yang Zilu was glad that before he came here, he had visited a museum in Zhongshan City. It introduced the places where ancient Chinese weapons were introduced. Among the crossbows, crossbows, the crossbows were all excellent. They also included design drawings, and some semi-finished items were used as reference.

It is precisely because of a tour before boarding the plane that Yang Zilu did not forget too many details. Of course, there is also the reason why the crossbow is not complicated. The crossbow arrows are also specially made, unlike arrows. They are much shorter than arrows. Because bronze is too expensive, even if they are used as beasts' teeth and bones, they are only used to make arrows. There are only three or four bronze arrows. Yang Zilu simply made a full wooden one.

Putting the crossbow arrow into the arrow groove, Yang Zilu thought about it, picked up a wooden stick from the kitchen that had not been burned, ran to the earthen wall at the other end of the yard, and drew three circles one by one. Yang Zilu retreated thirty steps away (one step equals one meter sixteenth), and had already retreated to the road outside the Zheng family.

Yang Zilu asked the passers-by to intercept passers-by. In ancient times, there was a sight to look at the mountain. Yang Zilu also made one. However, the accuracy is questionable, and this requires constant adjustment. Yang Zilu made one according to her own feelings.

"Swoosh!" With a sound, the afterimage of the crossbow arrow disappeared in a blink of an eye. Looking up, the crossbow arrow had shot to the wall. The tail of the arrow exposed outside was like a grass in the breeze, trembling slightly.

When Yu Le saw this, he couldn't help but screamed excitedly, ran to the wall quickly, widened his eyes, and exclaimed in a burst of voice: "Master! It's two inches and three inches into the wall! It's almost three inches!"

He couldn't help but exclaim that the effective range of hunting bows in the village was generally thirty steps away. But this effective range was only for small animals like rabbits. If it was shooting a soil wall, it would probably only shoot one inch. It was impossible to achieve Yang Zilu's achievement, and he had to use bronze arrow arrows.

"Master, what's the name of this you made? It's so powerful! It's probably a range of forty steps!" Yu Le said excitedly.

Yang Zilu said in surprise: "Ah? You don't know! This is called a crossbow. Because it is too powerful, it is almost the same as the word "angry"!"

Note: Although it is said that the crossbow was made by Huangdi, the earliest records appeared in the Kaogongji. The Kaogongji was compiled in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the early Warring States Period. It is estimated that the crossbow appeared in the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, or even in the late Spring and Autumn Period. The state of Yue was blocked by the state of Wu, and the crossbow was an important weapon on the battlefield, so it is not surprising that it was not passed to the state of Yue.
