There is a kiln factory in Yinxiang, which burns a lot of things. In addition to burning charcoal and making pottery, other places related to metal processing are distributed around the kiln factory.
Various imaginative weapons such as "Three Thousand Thousand Thousands of Your Life" will be born from here.
The few top-level magic weapons are two pulley crossbows that use a lot of bronze parts. They not only use eccentric wheels, but also steel.
Due to limited sources of materials, Li Jie produced very little steel, less than two kilograms, but it was more than enough to make two special pulley crossbows.
The bow string is made of mixed materials, with silk and hemp rubber bristles, and its strength and toughness are sufficient. The range is satisfactory, but the accuracy is uncontrollable.
After all, Li Jie's thinking about making a pulley crossbow was derived from textile machinery. When he was studying at the Textile College, in his internship class, there was an old-fashioned sewing machine that used a structure similar to the pulley crossbow.
These two crossbows, one was sealed by Li Jie and the other was given to Diao, are special equipment for Sha Diao. Sha Diao is responsible for their daily maintenance, and they are stored in the "Army" when not in use. When needed, they can be used again.
Taken from "Hyogo".
Normally, the sand sculpture does not perform combat missions, but when Baisha Village organizes hunting, he will use this pulley crossbow. The current results are quite brilliant, and five black rhinos have died under this crossbow.
Near "Dongsha", there is a family of twelve rhinos, which often harass the few fields in "Dongsha".
Invited by "Dongsha", Yinxiang dispatched a hunting team. Five adult black rhinoceros were all killed by the crossbow arrows of the sand sculpture.
The remaining sub-adult and juvenile black rhinos were captured alive by Yin Xiang, and the sub-adults were traded to Yunting "Wugeng" and Furong "Xiang Lao".
Several young black rhinos were kept in captivity.
Rhinos are stupid and cannot be domesticated, but the purpose of raising them is also very simple, which is to wait for them to grow up so that they can use their skins as armor.
The sand sculpture became famous for a while, and even some people in Suzhou heard that "there is a magic shot called the sculpture, and the birds and beasts escape from the white sand."
As Li Jie's wife, Dan is under a lot of pressure. Her two uncles have no talent and are just janitors. Her little brother is useless except for snitching on her husband.
But things are different now. The little brother has gained a reputation as a "sharp shooter", which makes Dan very happy. Although she doesn't know why the little brother is so good, her husband still won't let him go to the battlefield.
"Old Eagle, since you are good at shooting, why don't you follow the 'crocodile man' and run forward?"
Dan, who has a big belly, is becoming more and more maternal. She strokes her round belly. Her gentle tone and kind eyes can calm anyone who talks to her.
"Sister..."
Hearing his sister's question, Sha Diao was ashamed. How could he be good at shooting? All these were secretly given to him by his brother-in-law.
He also knew that everyone in Gusu City now knew that there was a sharpshooter in Baisha Village.
But where did this marksman come from? Others don’t know, but he himself doesn’t know it either?
"you……"
Once he saw the sand sculpture hesitating and hesitating, he immediately guessed some possibilities and said softly, "Did Jie help you?"
"Um."
Nodding, Sha Diao lowered his head in shame, "Brother Kun gave me the magic weapon, so I have the reputation of being good at shooting."
Hearing his brother's words, Dan not only did not feel sad, but instead touched the head of the eagle with great satisfaction: "If that's the case, then do it well."
"Aren't you annoyed, sister?"
"What are you upset about?"
Dan looked at his younger brother with soft eyes, "This is how much Ajie values us."
After saying that, Dan gently put his hand on his stomach: "Diao, you have to learn from Gua. A Jie said he is a hard-working young man, so you should work hard too."
"Um!"
In fact, Sha Diao was also very anxious, especially when he saw the newly added beauties next to his brother-in-law, all of whom had a good background, and he felt a strong sense of inferiority in his heart.
Even Qiang, who used to be a Huansha girl like her sister, her father has become the mayor of Yinxiang. Is this just because of the relationship? It is also because Qiang's father himself has such talents.
As for Dan, who brought Li Jie back, her relatives had no other talents except catching fish, prawns, and picking mulberries and ramie.
Therefore, Sha Diao was very anxious, and he was also working very hard to learn Li Jie's words, Li Jie's knowledge, and the use of various tools.
Not for anything else, just to let my sister live in "Daxie" with more peace of mind, and to be a hard-working young man!
When leaving his sister's place, Sha Diao wanted to be a hard-working boy, so he went to the breeding center to look for sand melons.
He planned to ask Shagua how he was valued by his brother-in-law and entrusted with important tasks.
"Gua, what should I do so that I can be reused by Shou Li like you?"
"Um?"
Sha Gua is peeling wild wild rice. Wild wild rice has no fat rhizome, but only a very small and tiny inner core like a little finger. It is very crisp and sweet. It is used to make fish soup and is a very delicious food.
These wild wild rice stems were given to me by the girls I met by chance.
For people of this era, it was quite a luxurious way to eat, because wild wild rice plants mainly eat their seeds, not the roots.
"That's it...how did you do it to make Shu Li pay special attention to it?"
The sand sculpture blushed and asked in a weak voice.
"I will do whatever Shou Li asks me to do."
Scratching his head, Sha Gua smiled innocently, "Am I very popular with Shou Li?"
"..."
Some angry sand sculptures grabbed the freshly peeled wild water bamboo shoots from Sha Gua and ran away, stuffing them into their mouths as they walked, as if this could relieve their anger!
So angry!
So envious!
So jealous!
Seeing the sand sculpture suddenly running away, the confused Sha Gua sighed with pity: "Oh, until now, I only have so many..."
As soon as he finished speaking, several women outside the village wall were heard chirping: "Melons, melons, it's melancholy that no one can peel off the wild rice, it's melancholy that there's no one to feed them, it's melancholy that there's no one to wash the filthy clothes..."
Before Sha Gua had time to speak, several girls each carried a bamboo basket and reached the wall of the village. Regardless of the strong smell of the breeding center, they poured out the contents of the bamboo basket.
Then one by one they found the little maza, gathered around the sand melon, and peeled the newly picked water chestnuts and water bamboo together with a smile, as well as a handful of the last fresh and green water shield.
After eating Sha Gua's hand and peeling off the wild rice, Sha Diao felt a little guilty, thinking that this was a sign of envy, jealousy and incompetence, so he went home and found a pot of wild rice seeds that he had collected for a long time, and prepared to apologize to Sha Gua properly.
But after returning to Shagua, seeing that scene, Shagua had an urge to cry.
"Diao, why do you go and come back?"
"I'm going to feed Li Tiegen——"
The sand sculpture held wild rice seeds and roared at the sand melon.
