Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three Lively Back to the Village
"Shooting fish?" Lin Mengbo curiously played with the fishing gun and crossbow, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Lin Wanwan had read the instructions when she bought these things. She immediately took the crossbow and carefully installed the high-power fishing line, then installed the rubber band, put on the fishdart finger protector, walked onto the deck, and stared at
He looked at the sea and casually took aim at a fish that jumped out of the sea happily.
Of course the result was a missed shot. Not to mention that the boat was still moving, even if it stood still and let Lin Wanwan shoot, she still had to practice a lot.
But it doesn't matter if you fail to shoot fish, the character cannot collapse. Lin Wanwan gave the crossbow to Lin Mengbo with a calm expression and said: "This is how the fishing crossbow is used. How about it, cousin, have you seen it clearly? How about that?
you try."
"Crossbow?" Lin Mengbo was startled, "Are these crossbows? Wan Niang, crossbows are forbidden weapons. If you keep one privately, you will be arrested by the government. The imperial court strictly controls weapons. In the past, the patriarch uncle had a Zhuge crossbow.
Later, when the world was at peace, everything was turned over to the government."
Lin Wanwan said in surprise: "Ah? Oh, yes, the crossbow cannot be called casually. Then instead of calling it a crossbow, just call it a fishing arrow."
"..." Lin Mengbo always felt that something was wrong, could it still be like this?
Lin Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, because she was worried that the life jacket and fishing rifle and crossbow were too advanced, she hid them in the secret room of the cabin, covered them up with spices outside, and never thought of crossing the open road.
Otherwise, it would be a disaster if I were found out when I entered the customs this time.
Lin Wanwan said immediately: "Since this thing is a bit sensitive, then hide it on the boat and take it out when you go fishing in the sea. This way no one will know. What do you think, cousin?"
Lin Mengbo thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I listen to you. Let me test the power first."
Lin Mengbo had already been itching to see Lin Wanwan use it once before. As a man, how could he not be tempted by such a crossbow-like thing? What's more, although Lin Mengbo seemed to be an honest man on the surface, he was actually from the Lin Family Village.
One of the toughest fishermen.
After holding it in his hand and studying it for a long time, Lin Mengbo felt a little unsure. He shot it casually toward the sea, then retracted the line, and a small sea fish jumped back.
"Wow! My cousin's eyesight is so accurate!" Lin Wanwan exclaimed in surprise. That move just now was definitely not something ordinary people could do.
Lin Mengbo said casually: "I'm used to harpooning, so I'm familiar with it. If you look at the position of the fish on the surface of the water, it's actually a little farther away. Fish are very cunning, and they can deceive people's eyes."
When it comes to this kind of theoretical knowledge of physics, Lin Wanwan will not lose to Lin Mengbo. She immediately said: "I know this. It's not that the fish deceives the eyes, but that light is ejected from the air into the water. Because the medium has changed, the light path has also changed.
, this phenomenon is called refraction of light.”
Seeing that Lin Mengbo was confused, she quickly added: "Oh, this is what my master once taught me."
Lin Mengbo laughed naively and sighed: "So that's how it was explained. Wan Niang, your master is so awesome, you know everything."
He would not doubt what Lin Wanwan said at all. Of course the old god knows everything, but people who don't farm can increase rice production by reading, and can also remove the sour taste of pasta and make it fluffy. The refraction of light is nothing.
.
Then, after accurately shooting two fish into the sea, Lin Mengbo said excitedly: "This fishing gun and crossbow are so powerful, so easy to use! Not to mention the big fish that are about to be trapped, even pirates can't withstand such a attack."
Attack. But, Wanwan, why is there no title on this thing?"
The Tang Dynasty made clear regulations on the manufacture of ironware. First, it must be made according to the official style, and secondly, it must be engraved with the name of the craftsman, so that it can enter the market. Such regulations are for the convenience of control and for traceability and accountability.
Lin Wanwan felt tired after hearing this. Of course the spear gun crossbow she bought from a modern outdoor goods store would not be engraved with the names of Tang Dynasty craftsmen, so she shrugged and said, "It's an imported product that my senior brother got."
Lin Mengbo's expression changed and he said: "Those barbarians outside can actually create such powerful things? Isn't the Tang Dynasty in danger?"
Lin Wanwan didn't expect that Lin Mengbo was so enlightened that he could think so far ahead of a small crossbow. She immediately smiled and said: "My cousin is overthinking, our weapons in the Tang Dynasty are stronger. Think about Xiao Ming's mansion.
The Tang knife that the book boy carries in his hand all day can cut iron like clay!
I also heard that the Tang crossbow in the hands of the soldiers has a range of up to two hundred meters. What are the fishing arrows that are just for shooting fish? When it comes to a real crossbow, it is nothing more than a big witch."
Lin Mengbo thought about it and said with a naive smile: "Wan Niang, you are right. However, this... fishing arrow is shaped like a crossbow. We should be careful not to draw it out to attract people's attention."
"Well, cousin, it's up to you to take care of it. I'll leave it all to you anyway."
Lin Mengbo put away his fishing arrows, bowed deeply to Lin Wanwan and said, "Thank you so much, Wanniang!"
"Hey, why are you so polite?" Lin Wanwan waved her hand and walked towards the bow of the ship, leaving Lin Mengbo here to continue his research.
It took half an hour to get from the south pier to the private pier in Linjiazhuang, and everyone drove back quickly.
This small pier is the limit for berthing three boats. The original two dilapidated fishing boats have long since made way for the new boats, huddled in the corner of the pier like concubines who have fallen out of favor.
After getting off the boat, Lin Wanwan was followed by a large group of people and a baby elephant, walking towards the village road. The people in Linjiazhuang were immediately stunned, and they all put down their work and ran over to see what was going on.
The children even circled around the baby elephant and asked Lin Wanwan about the baby elephant's origins.
"Master Lin, what is this? It looks weird. Its nose is so long." Lin Tiezhu, the king of children, was the first to ask.
Lin Wanwan smiled and replied: "This is called an elephant."
"Elephant? It's not that big. It's not as big as the horses in our village, nor as big as the ox of Chief Lu of Lujiazhuang!"
"That's because it's still young. It's only two or three years old and hasn't been weaned yet. When it grows up, it will become as big as a house."
Lin Tiezhu was still curious: "Then what can it be used for? Tow trucks? Plow the fields? Or kill the meat eaters? It's almost the Chinese New Year. Is Mr. Lin going to kill it for meat?"
The little elephant didn't know if he understood the last sentence, but he actually swung his long trunk at Lin Tiezhu and made a fake poking motion. The two white tusks shone in the sun.
How could Lin Tiezhu, a naughty boy with nerves thicker than his arms, be afraid? Seeing the cute and slow appearance of the little elephant, he burst into laughter: "This thing is so funny! It wants to poke me! Come on! You
come!"
While talking, he started to make provocative moves towards the little elephant.
