Returning to 83 Mountain Hunting

Chapter 64: Making new projectiles (please read, please vote)

"Okay, dinner is ready, everyone come and eat."

Gu Shuyao yelled, and Liu Xue, who couldn't wait, hurried into the hall of Ji's house.

Li Linan followed closely behind. The temptation of delicious food is universally murdered by men, women and children, and no one can escape it.

After coming in, Liu Xue looked at the fragrant food on the table, and for the first time knew what it meant to have both color and flavor.

Every dish looks very tempting and makes people want to eat.

"Don't be stunned, sit down and eat." Gu Shuyao took her seat first and continued to greet everyone.

Ji Chang brought up the last stir-fried chipmunk and put it in the middle before sitting down.

"You're welcome. It's just like at home. If you're slow for a while, you'll be gone."

After finishing speaking, Ji Chang moved his chopsticks first.

The first thing he served was chipmunk meat. He had eaten very little of this dish in his previous life, so he wanted to try it.

The meat is tender, sweet and delicious, with a faint rosin, it tastes extremely delicious.

"Wow, is this squirrel meat?"

"It's also delicious, it has a nutty aroma, it's amazing."

"Ji Chang, I believe you, it's really more delicious than chicken. Woohoo, it's so delicious."

Looking at the extremely exaggerated Liu Xue, Ji Chang smiled, said nothing, and chose to continue cooking.

After dinner, Liu Xue, who was a little full, rushed to wash the dishes and wanted to show off.

Gu Shuyao didn't stop her and gave her such a chance.

In this way, Liu Xue can live here and sleep with her at night.

Ji Chang came to the yard, picked up a hoe and two soil dustpans, and prepared to dig out some clay.

"Brother, where are you going?" Li Linan asked curiously when he saw Ji Chang holding the horse.

"Go to the old bowl factory to dig some clay and come back to make projectiles." Ji Chang explained.

It's not that he doesn't know that factories such as the Agricultural Machinery Factory and the Flywheel Factory have steel balls, but there are no such factories in his county.

There are some in the city, but it’s not easy to get there if you don’t have access to them.

So Ji Chang chose to make some projectiles from clay. The stone seeds were too unstable, which affected Ji Chang's ability.

"Then I'll go with you. It's getting dark, and the two of you have someone to take care of you." Li Linan said with some worry.

"Yes, let An An go with us. The old bowl factory has been abandoned for many years, and there may be wild animals roaming around." Gu Shuyao also stood up, hoping that someone would accompany Ji Chang, which would be safer.

"Or, we'd better go tomorrow, it will be more convenient after dawn." Wang Zhi said worriedly.

"No, I can just carry the gun on my back. I won't worry if An An is gone." Ji Chang felt that he was not suitable to go out with Li Lin'an.

The black lamp is blind, what if there is a spark?
The two have had passion before, and if they don't restrain themselves, they may rekindle.

He knew very well that Li Linan hadn't let him go yet, and there was still admiration hidden in his eyes.

With the gun on his back, put the two bamboo baskets on the horse's back, and Ji Chang rode Muyun out.

Letting go of the speed, Ji Chang urged Mu Yun to run wildly on the village road.

After 10 minutes, he arrived at the old bowl factory.

Because the quality of the clay here is not good enough, the technology is not advanced enough, and the bowls sold outside are cheaper than those from the place of origin here, so they closed down.

Ji Chang came here to dig white mud, which is more powerful than ordinary loess for making projectiles.

In addition, he also wanted to find out if there were drawing tools in the old factory.

If so, you can get a set and bring it back, which is much easier than rubbing it by hand.

"Is there really prey?"

Ji Chang entered the deserted factory full of weeds and found that there were indeed blood streaks.

"It should be a hare."

Ji Chang took out the slingshot directly because the health bar was only about ten centimeters.

Moreover, there are three health bars.

Ji Chang directly locked on one of the blood bars and shot the stone seed out.

Seeing the health bar cleared, Ji Chang couldn't help but grin.

Then, he placed another stone seed and aimed at the other one.

But this time Ji Chang failed, and the two blood bars disappeared directly from Ji Chang's field of vision.

Approaching the prey whose blood bar hadn't been completely emptied, Ji Chang found that it wasn't a rabbit, but a white-faced raccoon.

But it was relatively small, not as big as the one we shot in the primitive jungle this morning.

Ji Chang took out a small hunting knife and bled directly.

After the bloodletting, it was sent to the hunting space, together with the other two.

Then, Ji Chang continued to visit the abandoned factory building of the bowl factory.

It was full of broken pottery, none of it intact.

Walking around the factory, Ji Chang didn't get anything. All the valuable things in the factory were taken by the workers to offset their wages.

In the past, the factory used a foot-operated drawing machine with some metal structures, which was of some value.

Ji Chang found some treated pottery clay, which can be directly used to pull embryos, and it is already very fine.

I didn't come here in vain.

Without saying a word, I filled it with a dustpan and poured it into a bamboo basket.

The two baskets of soil were filled quickly, and Muyun felt the pressure.

Therefore, Ji Chang didn't ride it when he went back, and he picked up two earthen dustpans of clay.

Projectiles are consumables, so it's always good to pick up some more.

Back home, everyone was chatting in the yard.

What they talked about was nothing more than their parents' quarrels. After all, the village didn't even have electricity, let alone TV, so the only things they could talk about were the surrounding things.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ji Chang returning safely.

"Is this the clay used to make projectiles?" Gu Shuyao grabbed a handful of clay and asked curiously.

"Yes." Ji Chang unloaded the clay, tied Mu Yun up, and rewarded it with some fried soybeans.

Ji Chang poured out a dustpan of clay, added an appropriate amount of water, and stirred them evenly.

After mixing, they need to be beaten.

Others also followed Ji Chang's example, rubbing a piece of clay the size of a fist and beating them.

After the beating, Ji Chang took out a small ball of clay and rolled it into a ball.

"It's probably as big as this." Ji Chang took out a clay ball and showed it.

The others followed suit and made small mud pellets one after another.

These clay balls also need to be dried in the shade. After drying for a period of time, they can be fired at high temperature.

However, Ji Chang is prepared to select some for direct drying.

The drying speed is relatively fast, but the loss is relatively large, and if cracks appear, it cannot be used.

It's just that these are free soil, and they are not sold for money. What is wasted is nothing more than some firewood.

This loss is nothing to Ji Chang.

Everyone rubbed together until after ten o'clock at night, when Ji Chang sent Wang Zhi and Li Lin'an home with a flashlight.

Ji Chang didn't delay, and after sending them home, he came back to rest.

Because Ji Chang was planning to go into the mountains at three or four in the morning to see if he could catch any big prey.

　Please follow up, everyone!
