In the two or three days after the sacrifice, the Qingque tribe was immersed in that mysterious and inexplicable atmosphere.
That drum received great attention from everyone in the Qingque tribe and was carefully placed in front of the totem pole, enjoying the same treatment as the feather crown and bone staff.
After the sacrifice, people became more enthusiastic about making bows, arrows, and slings.
Every day, according to the request of the Son of God, he would play with slings or feather arrows outside.
However, the target of the feather arrow is no longer the temporarily found wooden stake, but a rough rope about half a meter in diameter made of grass, tightly coiled in circles.
The center of the arrow target coiled up with straw rope was painted black by Han Cheng with black charcoal.
In other places, circles were drawn with charcoal.
In the beginning, if someone could shoot an arrow on the target, others would cheer. Later, as they became more familiar with bows and arrows, more and more people could shoot the arrow on the target, and then they could shoot the arrow on the target.
On the target, it can no longer arouse much reaction from the crowd.
Only when Junior Brother Sha stands sixty meters away and shoots an arrow at the bull's-eye painted black by the Son of God can he arouse cheers from everyone.
Someone went to pull out the arrow, and it took a lot of effort to pull out the arrow shot by Junior Brother Sha from the target.
The man couldn't help but be surprised, how powerful it was, from such a long distance, he not only shot through the grass target, but also nailed the feather arrow into the wooden pillar behind the target!
After pulling out the feathered arrow, he was surprised to find that this feathered arrow was different from the ones he was familiar with.
The arrowhead of this feather arrow is not a wooden tip that has been ground by fire, but a piece of white bone that has been polished to a very sharp point.
No wonder this arrow can penetrate the grass target and nail into the wood.
He suddenly thought like this, and then a kind of enlightenment appeared in his heart.
Yes, I and others can add sharp bones to the head of the feather arrow!
Everyone also discovered this and came to ask Junior Brother Sha about making arrowheads from bones.
Junior Brother Sha naturally wouldn't hide it secretly. He was in a good mood and took out the remaining feather arrows and showed them to everyone. At the same time, he explained to everyone how to make bone arrowheads.
The matter of adding bone arrowheads to feather arrows should start a few days ago.
When a person is obsessed with something, he will often think about and improve it consciously or unconsciously.
As Mr. Pu Songling said - When one is crazy by nature, one's ambition will be condensed. Therefore, a bookworm will be good at writing, and a technical fool will be good at art...Those who are stagnant in the world and have no achievements are all so-called non-crazy people.
This is how Junior Brother Sha treats bows and arrows.
When his initial love for bows and arrows gradually subsided, he began to think about their uses.
Bows and arrows can be used for hunting and for defense against incoming enemies.
After carefully thinking about these two questions, he was no longer satisfied with shooting wooden stakes every day.
Because wooden stakes are not stakes, they are neither prey nor enemies.
There were no enemies at this time, and it was obviously impossible to use enemies to test the power of the bow and arrow, so he set his sights on the prey.
After expressing his thoughts to the Son of God, the shaman, and the leader, he left the tribe with his bow, arrows, and stone spears to search for prey to test the power of the bow and arrow, and his idea became to pick up two rabbits from the rabbit pen...
The results of the experiment are not very good. When the distance is close, the feather arrow can penetrate the rabbit's body, but as the distance increases, the damage the feather arrow can cause to the rabbit becomes less and less.
Later, even the rabbit's skin couldn't be penetrated.
This discovery made Junior Brother Sha very distressed. It would be like this when he encountered thin-skinned rabbits, but wouldn't it be even worse when he encountered sheep, deer, leopards, saber-toothed tigers and other such things?
In the next few days, he kept thinking about this problem.
At first, his solution was to make a longer and thicker bow.
He did this, and it did have some effect, but it was not as obvious as imagined. This discovery made him give up the idea of making a more powerful bow.
Because of the newly made bow, he could hardly pull it.
This kind of thinking didn't end until I was stabbed by a fish bone while eating absent-mindedly at night.
Sharp fish bones can pierce into your own flesh, so if you tie fish bones to your arrowheads, wouldn't you be able to shoot the arrows into the flesh of your prey?
He thought excitedly, and then shook his head because the fish bones were too fragile...
With this idea, the emergence of bone arrowheads is not far away.
Han Cheng saw all these actions of Junior Brother Sha. He did not interfere, but watched quietly.
If the Qingque tribe wants to prosper and grow, it cannot rely on him alone. It is also very necessary to cultivate other talents.
Otherwise, during the Three Kingdoms period, the talents of the Shu Han would wither, and as soon as Zhuge Wuhou Wu Zhangyuan died, the Shu Han would be precarious and then suddenly destroyed. That would be really heartbreaking.
When he saw Junior Brother Sha spinning around the bones and starting to pick them, Han Cheng had a smile on his face...
A certain distance away from the bow and arrow practice is a sling practice area set up under Han Cheng's instruction.
This is basically an area that no one should approach, because there are slingshots whizzing around in circles and stones flying around, so the level of danger is not high.
In view of Han Da Shenzi's glorious record of smashing a tile with his first shot, the sling practice area is far away from houses and places where people can easily pass.
The sling is the best. The second senior brother who smashed a rabbit to pieces with the sling a few days ago had an unusual reaction when he saw it in the archery area.
After he stood there and watched for a while, he didn't pay any more attention to it. He skillfully put a stone bullet into the pocket of the sling. He circled the sling twice in the air with his arm and then quickly released it.
The stone bullets suddenly flew out and hit the target made of hay from a distance, knocking down the target...
The Qingque tribe spends some time every day practicing bows, arrows and slings. Not only the men, but the women also need to practice.
This kind of situation where the male leads the outside and the female leads the inside will never happen at this time.
Relying solely on men cannot protect the safety of the tribe when encountering a powerful enemy.
In the current Qingque tribe, there are many more women than men, and they really hold up half the sky.
When the sun is brighter and the weather is a little warmer, Shen Zi will also ask everyone to go up to the low wall and use these two new weapons to face the 'stick formation' that is almost invisible outside the wall and has been covered with snow.
Those straw men and strange-shaped grass-covered 'animals' erected on the outside were used to attack.
When placing these straw figures and things made of grass, those who went to place them would be careful and keep looking at a small sign erected in the snow that would appear at a distance outside the wall.
On these small cards that are not very conspicuous, there is an abstract skull drawn with charcoal, and there are two intersecting bones below the skull.
This thing is the handiwork of the Son of God. It is used to remind the people of the Qingque tribe that on the side of this wooden sign near the wall is the extremely dangerous 'wooden stick formation' that is almost invisible and almost invisible due to snow...
