Chapter 22 Burning and Playing

Mrs. Liu stopped talking.

I hope that the flood will subside soon, even if I go back to the village and build a shack, it will be my nest.

After eating and drinking enough, it is natural to work harder.

The leaf material made a simple but strong bamboo raft, and everyone first put it into Yanlai Lake for testing. With the bamboo pole supported, they walked steadily for several meters.

Then put the water chestnuts taken out by the roots one by one into the lake with a water depth of about three feet.

Ye Feng patted the bamboo raft with satisfaction, and went into the water for a while, then let Ye Cai lead others to continue working.

He went to see the girl at the bottom of the slope in the distance. Erya and Ye Sanlang were with her. The girl was the youngest and dirty. Sure enough, no matter how old she was, she was like a child, and she played with her. mud.

Pulling her daughter aside, she asked in a low voice, "Can wild vegetables be full?"

"Father, my elder brother grilled fish for me at Shangen's. I ate the whole fish. Not to mention, although there is no seasoning, it is very fragrant."

"Your elder brother is really kind to you, but you can't be alone, do you hear me?"

"heard it."

Ye Feng was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, "What are you building a kiln for?"

"Burn something for temporary use. I think the clay here looks good, so I'll give it a try."

"You're burning carbon?"

"I don't know if it will work, it's just for fun, dad, you don't have to take it seriously."

Ye Feng smiled and shook his head, just be happy.

Seeing the energetic girl, Ye Feng also felt hopeful for the future.

However, Tiantian's wild vegetables are not good enough, Ye Feng thought about making bows and arrows out, it is impossible that there are no wild animals in Yanlai Mountain.

In fact, he has a compound bow and hundreds of carbon arrows. He is still a member of the local club, and he was also a sharpshooter back then.

Unfortunately, I can't get it out.

He and his daughter whispered about their plans, saying that they planned to get a hand-held crossbow, which was also a crossbow.

"Comrade Ye, crossbow is what our Chinese crossbow is called in Europe, right?"

"I know, but don't worry about it, just ask if it's okay?"

"I don't think so, Dad, let's analyze it." Ye Luoyin squatted on the ground and said softly, "This place is a bit similar to the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is not exactly like it. Not only is the military strength weak, but the economy is also not good. It has been occupied by the Tartars. The whole city doesn't want to take it back, but pays them so much money."

"It can be seen from this that Lu Meng, who is in power or the powerful minister, is the master. They don't want to fight. It is even possible that Lu Meng is a spy like the traitor of Qin. The Tartars are his masters. The Tartars can go south. Isn't it just like a torrent of iron cavalry?"

Ye Feng's expression gradually became serious.

This kind of hand-held crossbow is easy to make and the cost is not high. The important thing is that even an ordinary person can easily shoot and kill a cavalry in heavy armor even after a few hours of practice.

The crossbow was banned in later generations because it was too lethal. In the era of cold weapons, the arrows fired from the crossbow could easily pass through the armor of the cavalry and the body of the horse.

These two things alone are enough to instantly kill the bows and arrows held by the Taikang infantry.

With it in hand, will the Tartar cavalry be as indestructible as a torrent?
"Father, you said that if this thing gets out and becomes the nemesis of the Tartars, then the powerful officials will have to destroy our nine clans."

"What's more, the spies told the Tartars that we who know how to make this kind of thing, wouldn't we be beheaded?"

"Father, have you forgotten that the crossbow was called an evil weapon in Europe back then?"

"When I was grilling the fish today, my elder brother said that I needed to find a safe place. I didn't ask at the time, but I thought about it. After the flood receded, something happened in the county town or the prefectural city of Lingzhou. It looks calm now, then It’s because the storm hasn’t come yet.”

Ye Feng frowned, and rubbed his daughter's crotch, "I quietly made a hand-held crossbow. It's not the kind of foot-stepped crossbow. It was improved later. The world is so chaotic, I have to protect you and your mother."

"No hurry, I think Dad, you can try a three-piece bow..."

Then I talked to Ye Feng in detail, that is to use three bamboo pieces connected together to make a bow arm with wood in the middle. The bows and arrows used by hunters now are definitely not out of the ordinary.

Ye Luoyin was taken by her father to the club to play bow and arrow since she was a child, so she said it clearly and logically.

Ye Feng thought it was feasible, so he told his daughter not to be alone, so he went to find Hao Daer, and said directly, "Your little sister is too thin, and your wife is already pregnant. It's definitely not good to see the wild vegetables in the sky. I saw it in the gambling shop." A guest from the north brought a bow and arrow made of bamboo and wood, do you think you can make it?"

Ye Feng squatted on the sand and began to draw with branches, talking while drawing.

At first, Ye Hanqing was indifferent, but slowly, he became thoughtful. It seemed to be a bit similar to the three-bed crossbow, but it was much simpler. I don't know how powerful it is, but Ye Hanqing became interested.

It was rare that he didn't look at Daoyefeng with his eyes, he said he remembered, then turned and left.

Ye Feng called to him, "Go find your Uncle Ye Cai and ask him to help you."

Afterwards, Ye Feng went to the patriarch and said that Ye Hanqing was not on duty for now, and asked him to think about making some bows and arrows, first for safety, and second to see if he could hunt some prey to improve his food.

The patriarch just pretended not to hear the words "improving food". The food is so good, how can you improve the food?

Sure enough, it was Boss Ye, who used to eat too much and be lazy.

The patriarch also sent three assistants to Ye Hanqing, his eldest grandson and Ye Baoshan's eldest grandson, and the other was Du Dazhuang from the Du family.

Ye Luoyin's kiln was finally set up after playing around.

Using local materials, a rectangular pit was dug, and then a stove was set up, leaving the hearth open. Stones were placed below, and a kiln surrounded by yellow mud was placed on the top. The kiln mouth was open.

Unknowingly, Ye Luoyin was surrounded by several children, Du Jin, Duyin, and Guzi Wheats all ran over.

So Ye Luoyin taught them how to play with mud.

Du Jin said excitedly, "It turns out that the top is patched with yellow mud in circles. I understand, I understand."

Ye Luoyin began to divide the work, some were to collect firewood, and some were responsible for sifting loess and mud. In fact, Mrs. Wu wanted these children to pick ground vegetables, but Mrs. Sun refused.

Although there are quite a lot of ground vegetables, the children are too young to watch them, and a lot of ground vegetables can be trampled into mud with one step.

How distressed that is.

What Ye Luoyin made were clay pots, and she made them little by little from bottom to top, and went back to correct any asymmetry.

After the others saw it, they didn't pinch it casually. Da Ya simply took a sea bowl with a gap. Du Jin's hand was so clever that he even squeezed out the gap.

After being told by Ye Luoyin, she hurriedly made up for it...
