Chapter 238 Painting the moon, the stone that flies farther
After tossing and turning for a while, he still couldn't fall asleep, so the second senior brother simply got up and sat on the edge of the kang, just like the posture he had seen last night when junior brother Sha was squatting there to practice bow and arrow.
But my mood at this time was very different from last night.
His worries are not without reason.
Although he is a relatively flexible fat man, his huge belly still causes many inconveniences to him.
In addition to his brute strength, the most important thing for him to have such a high status within the tribe is his excellent throwing ability, which is what he is most proud of.
However, the appearance of bows and arrows shattered his pride into pieces.
It would be fine if only Junior Brother Sha could shoot a bow and arrow farther than he could throw. But the current result is that anyone who is not particularly weak can basically use a bow and arrow to surpass himself.
How can this kind of discomfort and loss be described in just one word...
The cold night was silent, and the snow outside looked a little white against the window. In another room, the fur covering the kang suddenly moved, and then a person came out.
This man is not big, he looks like a half-grown child. People who can wake up and get up at this time basically have to resolve personal matters.
The rooms of the Qingque Tribe are equipped with a 'pee bucket' with a lid. You can put it in before going to bed at night and take it out in the morning. You can urinate in the room. If you have a big urination, you can only go out to the toilet in the cold...
…
However, what is surprising is that this guy who got up in the middle of the night did not go down to the kang to look for a urine bucket. Instead, he turned around and came to the front window covered with fur. He also picked up the brick with fur on the window sill and lifted the leather curtain.
Opened more than half way...
This is a good idea, but it is also a dangerous move. If the Son of God finds out that he has done this, he will be given a beating.
However, the child did not take out the guy to drain the water. Instead, he put his head to the open window and kept looking out.
Through the white snow, you can make out the face of the child, which is exactly the stone.
At this time, Shi Shi had a sad look on his face.
It can be said that he has been feeling depressed these past two days because the sky is cloudy and he cannot see the moon. If he cannot see the moon, he cannot draw the shape of the moon.
Because he kept thinking about whether the moon would come out in the middle of the night, he woke up in the middle of the night. When he saw the light in the room, he thought it was the moon coming out. But after he happily opened the curtains, he saw
There is only white snow and a dim night sky, where is the slightest shadow of the moon?
He looked at it for a while without giving up, and finally gave up.
However, he did not seal the animal skin curtain, but used the light that came through to look at the pottery board leaning on the Kang.
On the pottery board, there is a picture of the moon that he carved during this period.
After watching this comparison for a while, Shi Shi scratched his hair in distress.
The last moon on the pottery board is a half-circle, which he drew the day before yesterday.
There was no moon out yesterday and tonight. Logically, it should be marked with an x, but Shitou was unwilling to do so.
Because from the shape of the moon that he had recorded before, he knew that the moon would not change so fast. There should be a moon last night and tonight, just like these two.
He thought about it and finally placed his fingers under the two moons two rows apart.
In front of these two moons is a moon that is very similar to the moon he painted the day before yesterday.
Shitou took out his 'pottery pen' from the side and wanted to imitate the shapes of the two moons he just pointed out and draw yesterday's and today's moons in turn. After thinking about this for a while, he still didn't do it.
A hanging hook-like symbol was drawn on it and a dot was clicked below the hook.
This is a symbol he learned from the Son of God to express questions or unknown things.
After doing this, Shitou moved the ceramic plate aside and put it away, pressed the lower part of the leather curtain with bricks again, got into the fur and went to sleep.
"Come with me for a moment."
The next morning, Han Cheng got up early to look at the earthen kiln. After opening it, he found that most of the kiln's charcoal was of good quality. At this point, Han Cheng finally felt relieved.
The matter of burning charcoal has been solved. From now on, whether it is smelting steel or refining copper, we have the most basic conditions.
Han Cheng, who was in a good mood, directed the people to take out the charcoal from the kiln and put the firewood back in to start burning. After seeing the second senior brother with bloodshot eyes and a look of exhaustion, the current scene happened.
Han Cheng finished the last sip of the lukewarm soup in the bowl, stood up, and said to his second senior brother who had been looking at the wooden stakes used as targets in the snow for a while.
The second senior brother was stunned for a moment. He looked at Shenzi who had turned around and walked towards the room. He paused for a while before taking steps to follow.
"Feeling uncomfortable?"
Han Cheng sat on the main seat and looked at the second senior brother who looked a little reserved and nervous in front of him and asked in a chatty tone.
Regarding the matter of bows and arrows, the second senior brother has a very complicated mood. Firstly, his pride was ruthlessly broken by bows and arrows. Secondly, his previous attitude towards bows and arrows was not very friendly, and bows and arrows were made by the Son of God. This
It gave him a complicated feeling similar to guilt, especially when facing Han Cheng.
This matter has been weighing on his mind for the past two days, for fear of being mentioned by others. At this time, the Son of God called him and directly revealed the hidden things in his heart. His face suddenly turned red and his eyes became even brighter.
He was avoiding and not daring to make eye contact with Han Cheng.
Standing here is a man who is three times bigger than Han Cheng. When facing Han Cheng, who is as childlike as a child, he is even more childlike than a child.
Speaking of people, it's really strange. For example, Second Senior Brother, who used to eat when he was full, sleep when he was full, eat when he was full, and do whatever work came his way, and who never thought too much about anything, is now so big on the matter of bows and arrows.
reaction, and complicated emotions.
"God...Son of God."
He hesitated for a while and then called out. After the call, he didn't know what to say.
Looking at his second senior brother, Han Cheng suddenly felt like a parent facing a child who made a mistake.
It's just that this child is too big.
"sit down."
Han Cheng smiled and pointed to a wooden pier beside him that was much higher than the ordinary wooden pier and said to his second senior brother.
After the second senior brother sat down, he said bluntly: "You don't have to feel so uncomfortable. Although the bow and arrow are farther than you can throw, your throwing ability is still of great use..."
Han Cheng was telling the truth. Bows and arrows do have many advantages, but throwing cannot be completely replaced by them.
For example, in terms of the speed and simplicity of the shot, bows and arrows, which are much more complicated, are not as good as throwing.
As for shooting three arrows with each arrow hitting the target, that only existed in novels and movies, and Han Cheng didn't dare to hope for it.
These are not the most important things. The most important thing is that most people in the Qingque tribe are used to throwing. They may not be as accurate as throwing with bare hands when using bows and arrows, just like the second senior brother, who is like a pea shooter.
Of course, outliers like Junior Brother Sha need to be excluded.
The originally uneasy Second Senior Brother gradually became calmer, and after Han Cheng finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face.
As long as it is useful to the tribe, this is his most simple idea.
But after thinking about the distance of a bow and arrow that was far beyond his ability, the second senior brother still felt a little uncomfortable.
How could Han Cheng not know what the second senior brother was thinking? He was already prepared for this. He patted the second senior brother's hand and said: "I can make a weapon. With it, you can throw stones very far. It doesn't matter."
Worse than a bow and arrow."
"real?!"
The second senior brother regained his energy, stood up suddenly, looked at Han Cheng with his eyes shining, and didn't even bother to pay attention to the sitting wooden pillar being brought down.
"Of course it's true."
Han Cheng looked at the second senior brother's reaction, nodded with a smile, and said affirmatively.
