Within the tribe, Han Chengzheng commanded a lame stone knife and a specially prepared wooden stick suitable for beating to split the cut mulberry trunk from the middle.
Lame has become very skilled at doing these things. Although the tools are simple, his superb skills can offset this shortcoming. Now the wood he breaks open will generally not have different widths at the top and bottom.
Split the wood and put half of it aside. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Han Cheng found a piece of charcoal, polished one end of it on a stone until it was relatively sharp, and then began to write on the other half.
Everyone is confused, why do people who make bows and arrows still write?
Moreover, the writing of this word is so weird, and it looks very difficult to write. The Son of God, who is the most proficient in divine writing, needs to constantly erase and rewrite.
Of course Han Cheng is not writing, but painting.
It is said that it is a drawing. In fact, it is to use charcoal to draw the general outline of the bow on the tree trunk, and then let the lame rest according to the drawn line.
It is difficult to give people an intuitive feeling by just talking about the bow, which is a brand new and demanding thing. It is not as clear and quick as painting directly on the broken tree trunk.
After drawing the outline, you only need to follow the outline. It is very simple and not easy to make mistakes.
The idea was indeed a good idea, but Han Cheng's hands were not up to par. He had never learned sketching or other painting techniques in his previous life, so it was not easy for him to draw the shape of the bow in his mind.
Therefore, I could only continue to make corrections until my hands were covered with black ash and half of the tree trunk was completely stained black. Only then did the outline of the bow finally appear completely on half of the tree trunk.
But by this time, this outline was no longer very obvious because the surrounding area was dyed black with charcoal.
And it would be easily worn away during the next rest period, so Han Cheng put his hand by the fire to bake for a while, then took it back, picked up a relatively small stone knife that was cold to his hands, and cut along the outline of the tree trunk.
Carve and leave the outline firmly on the trunk.
After these things are done, the next step is a lame performance.
After getting the specific requirements from Han Cheng, he began to use stone knives to trim the trunk.
It is not an easy process to use a stone knife to forcibly turn such a large tree trunk into a bow. Even if you are very skilled, you will not be able to do it very quickly without a handy tool.
Han Cheng looked here for a while, remembered the charcoal burning outside, and was ready to go out to have a look, although there was a high probability that he would not succeed this time.
"Son of God, I..."
He hasn't left yet. He stood aside and watched Lame making bows and arrows until now. Junior Brother Sha, who had been thinking for a long time, finally spoke.
He pointed to the other half of the mulberry tree trunk placed aside and expressed his thoughts to Han Cheng.
Now in the entire Qingque tribe, the person who is most enthusiastic about bows and arrows can be said to be Junior Brother Sha. He hit the target one after another in the morning, which made him have a feeling for this new weapon that appeared and learned from the Son of God that it has unlimited future.
Love from the heart.
After Han Cheng started preparing to make bows and arrows, he stood here and watched. He felt that it was not too difficult, and the idea of making a bow and arrows by himself arose in his mind, and once this idea appeared, it became stronger and stronger.
stand up.
Han Shenzi, who didn't have much hope for the charcoal from this kiln, naturally put the matter of going to see the charcoal out of his mind very simply after hearing what Junior Brother Sha said.
When Han Cheng finished painting the last stroke of the bow and arrow on the tree trunk, the weather was gradually getting darker.
Firstly, his painting skills are really unflattering. In the hands of a skilled person, it is just a matter of swiping a few strokes, but it is extremely difficult for him to do it. Secondly, Junior Brother Sha proposed to make his own.
After the request for bows and arrows, some people who were more enthusiastic about bows and arrows also expressed their desire to make a bow and arrow.
Before, Junior Brother Sha and the others directly cut down a mulberry tree, and at least they were able to cut out three 1.2 meter tree sections, so after sketching these one by one, it was almost dark.
Han Cheng washed his hands with warm water and warmed them with fire while turning his head to look at the gate, thinking that he would wait a while and just take a look.
As a result, before he could dry his hands, the sound of finishing his meal was heard.
After dinner, it was completely dark, and the cold wind was starting to pick up. Han Cheng tightened his clothes tightly, and finally walked to the room where the fire was burning, instead of paying attention to the completely cold earthen kiln outside the door.
.
'When, when, when...'
In the warm room, there was this somewhat harsh sound.
Senior Brother, Lame, Junior Brother Sha, Shang and Heiwa were squatting in the aisle beside the Kang they were assigned to, holding stone knives and wooden sticks for beating, and there were small sawdust, which kept coming.
fell from the mulberry trunks they stepped on.
As they hammered, the mulberry trunks under their feet were completely different from before, and the outline of the bow gradually appeared.
Among them, the one who made the fastest progress was the professional carpenter Ling, not only because of his good skills, but also because he was the first to start.
The room where the second senior brother lives is next to the room of junior brother Sha. At this time, the second senior brother is lying half on the kang, leaning against the wall, very comfortable.
He turned his head and looked to one side. Through the passage left, he looked at the back of Junior Brother Sha who was squatting on the ground and tapping the stone knife, and smiled silently.
He trusted his arms more than these troublesome bows and arrows.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly reached out to the side, and a half-year-old child who was doing somersaults on the kang was lifted over by him with one hand through the low wall in the middle.
Looking at the child who was a little confused by his sudden move, the second senior brother laughed and put the child back again.
He raised his arms, put them in front of his eyes and turned his head to look left and right. He felt even more confident and strengthened his belief.
My strong and powerful arms cannot be compared to something made of a curved stick and rope.
He watched like this for a while, then lowered his arms, turned around and saw that Junior Brother Sha was still knocking there, and shook his head involuntarily, then pulled his spouse aside and began to untie the rope tied to his body with his hands...
Junior Brother Sha, who was squatting on the ground, heard the primitive tune coming from not far away, but he did not turn his head to peek. It can be said that he has long been accustomed to this.
At this moment, his whole mind was focused on the piece of wood under his feet.
Lame looked at the half-finished bow, put down the stone knife and wooden stick, rubbed his aching hands, and began to sleep on the kang.
The rest of the people who wanted to make bows and arrows by themselves also went to bed one after another. Only Junior Brother Sha was still squatting there and hammering away.
Later, because children were waking him up one after another, he took these things and kindled the fire all the way to the cave that was no longer inhabited and was completely empty. He lit a fire there, and then knocked on it persistently.
The saying that interest is the best teacher is indeed true. With it, you can burst out with great enthusiasm without being reminded by others.
The wind blowing outside didn't know when it stopped, and the whole world seemed to become quiet all of a sudden. In the sudden silence, there seemed to be some slight sounds.
The night is getting darker, the firelight is flickering, and the squatting person is tapping the stone knife, and the sound makes the night more quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, the man finally stood up, held the bow and looked at it for a while, feeling very satisfied.
Then he put out the fire and made sure that no flames would ignite, then walked out in the dark.
It was only then that I felt the exhaustion sweeping over me, the numbness in my legs and feet, and the pain in my fingers and wrists.
There was no darkness outside the cave, and something fell into his neck. It was so cold that he couldn't help but shiver.
