Probably because the atmosphere was really good tonight, the two of them had been sitting outside for a long, long time before returning to the cave to rest.The next day, after Lin Xi finished her breakfast, she was busy continuing to make her two bows.The bow body was now baked, Lin Xi tried to press it, and the toughness was enough, and then she began to make hemp rope for the bowstring.The raw material of hemp rope is the bark and tendon bark that has been dried after an evening of wind blowing and fire baking.Lin Xi tore the bark and tendon bark into thinner strips, mixed them together, and began to rub them by hand.Soon, thin hemp ropes, a little thicker than the sewing thread, took shape.The bark is a bit rough after all.After rubbing all the bark into hemp rope, Lin Xi's palms were already red, numb and itchy, and a little swollen.But she didn't care, but continued to braided the kneaded hemp rope together.After a long time, I finally braided two ropes as thick as wool before noon.That's the bowstring.When loading the bowstring onto the bow, Lin Xi called Wuchen to help.Because she can't press the bow body a little, she needs Wuchen to press the bow body out of the arc so that she can tie the bowstring.When tying the first bowstring, Lin Xi was still a little nervous.She was afraid that this bowstring, which was only made of bark and tendon bark, would not be able to bear the weight and would break all at once!
But it turns out that the quality of this bowstring is not bad, probably because of the addition of tree tendons to the bowstring.After the two bows were finished, Lin Xi began to process the arrows again.These arrows are easy to get their hands on.She took out the gray chicken feathers that she had left behind yesterday, cut off the excess, and then tied the feathers firmly to the tail of the arrow with hemp rope, and then trimmed the tied feathers into a shape that was sharp at the front and wide at the back.Four feathers are needed on an arrow, and after they are done, a groove is cut out at the end of the arrow to catch the bowstring, and the whole set of bows and arrows is completed.This whole bow and arrow still weighed a little, but Lin Xi could still hold it.As soon as she finished it, she eagerly picked it up and tried it.She ran ten meters away, set up an arrow, aimed it at the mountain, and shot it with one arrow!"
Smack!"
With a soft sound, the tip of the arrow hit the stone of the mountain, bounced again, and finally landed on the ground.Lin Xi looked at the arrow on the ground, and after two seconds, he sighed!
She could clearly feel that because the bowstring was not opened, the force of the arrow flying out was actually very small.Although she has a weapon, her strength is still not good!
She stepped forward, picked up the arrow, and suddenly turned her head to look to the side, looking at the bow and arrow in her hand with shining eyes: "Wuchen, you try!"
”Wuchen had been curious for a long time on the side, and when he heard Lin Xi's words, the tail behind him tightened, and he immediately took it: "Okay!"
”This time, Lin Xi directly erected a wooden stake on the ground, she taught Wuchen to pose well, aim at the wooden stake, and then waited for the result expectantly.Two seconds later, only a "whoosh" sound was heard in the air, and the next second, a clear popping sound sounded!
Lin Xi looked at the fallen wooden stake, and was speechless in shock!
She trotted to the front of the stake, bent down, and pulled out the arrow, but at last it took all her strength to pull it out with her foot on the stake!
Wuchen actually used only this wooden arrow to shoot a hole in this wooden stake!
Lin Xi looked at Wuchen who walked behind her, she blinked, and finally didn't know how to express her shock, so she could only silently give Wuchen a thumbs up!
The look of surprise on the little female beast's face made Wuchen feel satisfied from the bottom of his heart, which represented Xixi's recognition of his ability!
However, he looked at Lin Xi's gesture to him, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand and made the same gesture to Lin Xi, his face full of puzzlement: "Xixi, what does this mean?"
”The orc's face was happy and complacent, but it was full of doubts, and it was rare to be a little cute.Lin Xi couldn't help laughing, and shook his thumb at him: "This means powerful, that is, Wuchen, you are very powerful!"
I have a lot of strength and I aim very accurately!
I actually shot it all at once!
”Wuchen suddenly realized!
So he smiled even more happily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.He shook his long tail behind him, but raised the bow and arrow in his hand to his eyes, this feeling of effortless, but able to cause damage, is amazing!
At the end of the test, Lin Xi took the two bows back to the cave and put them away.She planned to take it out and practice every day when she had time, and no matter what, at least this bow had to be able to play some offensive role when it was in her hand.After making the bow and arrows, Wuchen went to the back mountain.He had to find the materials to make the new stone jar, as well as the stone bricks for the stove.In the past two days, after the stone jar and stove have been completed, the transformation part of the cave that needs stones as raw materials will be over!
After Wuchen went out, Lin Xi took out the felt that had been half-tied yesterday and continued to make it.Her hand speed did not decrease, and as time passed, the whole felt gradually took shape.Then she cut the same shape on the felt compared to the soles she had cut out yesterday and began to sew the soles.Four animal skins and a piece of felt are combined into a sole, the thickness of such a sole is a little thick, Lin Xi can't pierce it with a bone needle in her hand, so she simply knocks the bone needle directly with a stone, first knocks out a pinhole in the sole, and then sews the sole with a thin thread.The thin thread used to sew the soles of the shoes is still the hemp rope that was rubbed out yesterday, and this hemp rope is much thinner than the animal skin rope, and it will not be awkward to step on the foot.For each sole, Lin Xi carefully sewed five circles of thread from the outer ring to the middle, and finally sewed the upper of the shoe, and a pair of shoes was completed!
The first pair of shoes that Lin Xi finished making were the single shoes she was going to wear now.She put the freshly made shoe on her foot and tried it on, and immediately felt that the sole of the shoe was a little uneven, and the center of the foot was bulging.It should be when sewing the soles, the animal skin runs and squeezes!
But there is no way to change it, and it is the first time she has done it, and she is already very satisfied.At least don't squeeze your feet back and forth!
Lin Xi immediately put on new shoes and put the original sneakers aside.She plans to take them to the river to brush them and dry them later, then put them away and don't wear them anymore.Otherwise, if one day this shoe is completely scrapped, she wants to make new shoes, and then she won't even have an abrasive tool to paint the soles!
When Wuchen was busy making shoes in Linxi, he had already returned from the back mountain many times.After transporting the stones, he was about to go to the forest to hunt for food tonight, but was stopped by Lin Xi.It should be almost four o'clock in the afternoon, but it's still early, and if you go hunting, it's completely too late.But Lin Xi still stopped Wuchen, she stopped him and said, "Wuchen, let's try those pickled salted meats tonight, and make a little more boiled black worm fruit, then don't go hunting." ”It was already very tiring to transport these stones, and it was not without food at home, and Lin Xi didn't want to make Wuchen so tired.Wuchen listened and had no objections.In fact, he didn't seem to have any objections to Lin Xi's decision.So Lin Xi went to get a large pot of salted meat, and went to the river with the remaining black insect fruits at home to clean it with Wuchen.Probably because of the approaching season, Lin Xi always felt that the water in the Mogan River now was much cooler than when she first arrived in the tribe.At that time, she was still very flustered, and she didn't even dare to come to this river.But now, although the time has only passed, she no longer has the same anxiety as she did then.She has even begun to wonder if the fish in the Mogan River can also be considered in the recipe!
