Chapter 16: Bamboo Bow and Wooden Arrow

Chapter 16 16 Bamboo Bow Wooden Arrow

Mu Feng looked at the flashlight in her hand and felt a little afraid to reach out. He shook his head and said, "No, my father said this is something given to you by the gods. You have to put it away."

"I got it." Yao Xiaoqing turned off the flashlight and followed Mu Feng back to the cave, putting the flashlight back into the bag.

I took out an oil paper bag, packed my underwear and put them in the bag, intending to wait until daybreak to dry them.

Just when I was about to lie down, I realized that Golden Retriever hadn't returned to the cave yet. I hurriedly took a flashlight to look outside the cave. Standing at the entrance of the cave, I looked at the pitch black foot of the mountain and the vast mountains. I didn't know where to look.

When Mufeng saw her going out, he followed her outside the cave and found out that she was looking for a golden retriever. He couldn't laugh or cry at all.

"Xiao Qing, don't worry, the golden retriever went to play and will be back when it gets daybreak."

"Really?" Yao Xiaoqing looked at Mu Feng.

Mufeng nodded, "Believe me, brother, it will come back if it is happy. Let's go! Go back to sleep."

Yao Xiaoqing had no choice but to follow Mu Feng back to the cave and lie down. Amidst everyone's tired snoring and various body odors, he slowly fell asleep.

Waking up in the middle of the night, he found that the golden retriever still hadn't come back. Yao Xiaoqing thought with some worry: The golden retriever is a monkey, and monkeys all like to eat fruits. It has eaten a few ham sausages in the past two days, and now it has finished eating the ham sausage. It may be

Went to the woods to find fruit to eat.

Waiting until dawn in a daze, Yao Xiaoqing got up, packed his sleeping bag and put it into his bag, gathered his hair and tied it into a bun, then took the engineer shovel and went down the mountain to find the golden retriever by the river.

I found a wooden stick and beat it on the grass in the forest. After walking for more than an hour, I walked through the forest and passed through a waist-deep patch of weeds and shrubs. When I arrived at the river, I frightened a group of wild ducks and waterfowl resting by the river.

Yao Xiaoqing shouted to Golden Retriever loudly, even though his throat was broken, he didn't even see the shadow of Golden Retriever. He stood by the river a little disappointed, looking at the wild ducks swimming on the river, thinking that the food this morning had not yet arrived, and thinking

The golden retriever should go for a walk and come back.

Feeling your deflated belly, filling your stomach is the most important thing in the world. With so many wild ducks living by the river, there must be wild duck eggs laid in the grass. Yao Xiaoqing went back to dig through the grass to look for them.

I was so lucky. I just dug through waist-deep weeds and saw a nest of gray-green and white wild duck eggs in the grass. I counted them excitedly: there were seven, and I found two more nests not far ahead.

I happily cut some weeds with a shovel, kneaded some grass ropes a few times to form a net bag, picked up the wild duck eggs and put them into the bag.

They searched several nests in succession and picked up more than 30 wild duck eggs and several waterfowl eggs. Yao Xiaoqing walked back excitedly with a net bag in hand. As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw Mu Feng walking up the mountain with a wooden spear.

Come down.

Seeing her, he walked up to her in a few steps and said, "Xiaoqing, where have you been? My father is looking for you. We are going to hunt."

Yao Xiaoqing handed the net bag to him, "I looked for the golden retriever but couldn't find it, but I found a lot of wild duck eggs."

Mufeng took the straw basket in surprise, "Wow! So many wild duck eggs, enough for a meal."

Yao Xiaoqing also nodded with joy, "I'll take my backpack and go to the river to pick up duck eggs when I get back. It would be great if I could catch a few wild ducks and come back."

Mufeng walked ahead carrying the wild duck eggs, "That thing can fly, so it's not easy to catch."

Yao Xiaoqing then remembered that he didn't have a bow and arrow, so he had to use stone knives, stone axes and wooden spears, but he couldn't catch wild animals with wings that could fly.

Looking at those shrubs, I remembered that when I participated in outdoor activities in my previous life, I learned to make bows and arrows and slingshots from the outdoor masters of the Sanda team.

After I became the village chief, I heard that a mountain town in a neighboring province was building an ancient village resort, which attracted many tourists. I even went to visit it. I also borrowed books on this subject and studied it carefully. The ancient village tourism project has not yet started.

I have really become an ancient person, a very ancient one.

Yao Xiaoqing said to Mu Feng who was waiting in front: "Mu Feng, you go back to the cave first, I will go down and chop two bamboos up."

Mufeng responded loudly: "Come back quickly."

Yao Xiaoqing waved to him and walked towards the place where the bamboos grew.

I cut down a few bamboos suitable for making bows and one bamboo for drying things. Looking back at those thick bamboos, I thought it would be best to chop them back to make water cups and bowls and chopsticks.

Looking at my thin arms and legs now, I can't drag back so many things, so I can only go back and ask Mu Feng to chop it down.

On the way back, I cut down a bundle of small shrubs, about eight or nine inches thick, and dragged a bundle of rattan back to the cave, and placed the bamboo and shrubs at the entrance of the cave.

Yaohu came out of the cave, gave her two wild duck eggs, and said with a smile: "You must be hungry!"

Yao Xiaoqing nodded, "Father, wait for me to wash my hands."

Yao Hu watched her walking towards the ravine and thought: After this child came back from that time, he had to wash his hands and wash his face clean every time he ate. This way he looks much better than before!

Yao Xiaoqing washed her hands and came back to take the duck egg, and looked at Yao Hu, "Father, have Mu Feng and the others gone hunting?"

Yao Hu nodded, "There is no more food, so I asked Mu Feng, pigs, and bulls to go hunting."

Yao Xiaoqing peeled the eggshell, "Shan Amu and Uncle Shui are not in the cave, what are they doing?"

Yao Hu pointed to the bottom of the mountain, "Shan Amu brought some millet and beetroot seeds. Uncle Shui and Uncle Chong went to dig the ground at the foot of the mountain. Shan Amu, Hua and Yun Amu went to pick up wild duck eggs."

Yao Xiaoqing did not expect that Shan Amu also brought millet and bean seeds. He looked at Yao Hu and smiled and said, "Okay! When we come back to find some more seeds, we can open up land to grow food."

"Well!" Yao Hu looked at his daughter lovingly, "Xiao Qing, what do you want to do? Father, help you."

"You don't know how," Yao Xiaoqing thought for a moment and said to Yao Hu, "Father, when you feel better, can you help me dig a barrel and basin?"

Yao Hu looked at her in confusion, "What are the barrels and basins?"

Yao Xiaoqing thought for a moment and used branches to draw a wooden basin and barrel on the ground. "It looks like this, just like making a wooden bowl, only much bigger."

Yaohu understood immediately after looking at it, "Oh! To make barrels and basins, big trees are needed."

Shan Hedashi walked over from the entrance of the cave, "Chief, we can't hunt. It's okay to chop down big trees. Let's chop wood and dig barrels and basins for Xiaoqing."

Yao Xiaoqing shook his head and said: "Chopping down big trees is not an ordinary job. Your injuries are not healed yet. If something happens, you will be in trouble."

Shan laughed, "We are warriors, we are not afraid of this little injury."

Yao Hu also smiled and nodded, "Xiao Qing, give your ax to my father."

Seeing that the others had made up their minds, Yao Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll teach you how to use an axe."

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of bamboo, looked at it, and cut one piece with the sawtooth surface according to the size required for making a bow. After demonstrating it to them, he asked Yaohu to try sawing a section of bamboo, and found that Yaohu had a good way of sawing bamboo.

His movements are more agile than hers.
