Chapter 2 There Is Such a Girl(1/2)
"Why don't you sit down."
Pei Yun said to Qin Qier.
"Young master, eat first, and then I'll eat later."
In a society where men are superior to women, when eating, only men can sit at the table, and women can only watch from the side. Only when men are full can women pick up the leftovers.
Pei Yun immediately understood Qin Qier's thoughts.
I can't help but find it ridiculous.
This meal was the result of her labor, but she placed herself in a humble position.
"I said, sit down, I don't want to say the same thing again." Pei Yun emphasized his tone.
You can tell he is angry.
Qin Qi'er didn't dare to hesitate any longer and sat down with a snap.
Not fierce but disobedient.
But it makes people feel sad no matter what.
During this meal, Qin Qi'er felt uneasy and satisfied at the same time.
The uneasy thing is.
He was so bold that he stuffed his belly with pheasants and even sat down to eat with the young master.
Satisfied.
It's been a long time since I've eaten so well. The young master actually didn't dislike him and even gave him a chicken leg to eat.
After finishing the meal, Qin Qi'er put away the dishes, while Pei Yun was studying the bow.
It is not easy to make a crossbow from scratch, but if you modify the bow.
Before doing this, you need to seek Qin Qi'er's opinion.
This is the tool she depends on for survival. Without the bow, hunting will be a problem. If you can't hunt, you can't eat.
If it were anyone else who wanted to attack Gong, she would refuse to do so.
But when she heard that the young master was about to take apart the bow, she hesitated for a while and then nodded.
Pei Yun: "Just stop thinking about it. If you tear it down, it will be broken."
Qin Qi'er: "The slave family believes in the young master."
"How can you trust me so much? Well, actually I want to..."
Pei Yun explained the transformation.
After listening, Qin Qi'er opened her eyes wide in shock, "Is this really possible?"
"Yeah, do you think it's a good deal?"
"Of course it's a good deal. With this bow, I can shoot up to three arrows at a time. If you go by what the young master said, if you really have that crossbow, let alone three arrows, thirty arrows won't be a problem."
…
Tick tick tick, it started to rain.
Before the roof could be repaired, rainwater dripped into the house and the ground turned into mud.
On the bed, a man and a woman hugged their knees and watched this scene.
The room is so big, and only the side of the bed can be protected from wind and rain.
After getting into bed, it was comfortable to lie down and sleep.
But men and women should not sit together at the same table.
Henceforth this scene, each of them kept their distance.
However, the season at this time is the cool autumn wind, and with the rain, you may catch wind and cold. According to the current medical level, wind and cold can kill people.
In order to give each other some warmth, they gradually leaned on each other.
Not long after, Qin Qier fell asleep with her head on Pei Yun's shoulder.
After a day of hunting in the mountains, I was already tired. Feeling the security around me, I suddenly fell asleep.
It was windy and rainy when it came, and it was sunny when it left.
The weather is very good today, and what we need to do is to repair the roof.
After finding thatch branches, Qin Qier started working.
A girl climbed up and down without any carelessness.
Pei Yun couldn't help but sigh after seeing it.
I have to admit that she is much better than me at work.
You can't use injury as an excuse. Even if you are not injured, you are not as good as her.
She didn't even need her own help, she could get things done by herself.
I had no choice but to find something else to do, and began to modify the bow.
The hunting knife is used as a carving knife.
As time goes by, a crossbow gradually takes shape in the hand.
There is no need to say much about the appearance. The most important thing is the core components, which are: hanging knife, hook heart, tooth, and Wangshan.
Hanging knife: equivalent to the trigger, when pulled, the crossbow will be launched.
The hook: connects the hanging knife and the teeth, and is a key part to realize the function of the crossbow.
Teeth: Used to hook the string.
Wangshan: used for aiming.
Among them, Wangshan and Ya are integrated.
When the string is wound, the teeth hook the string, and the tension of the bow causes the string to exert a pulling force on the teeth. This pulling force gives a torque to the teeth, and the hook prevents the rotation of the teeth and transmits the force to the hanging knife.
When the hanging knife is pulled, the hook loses support, the teeth are no longer obstructed, and the crossbow is launched.
Conditions are limited and these parts are made of wood.
The problem is not big, it is just that it will wear out after being used for a long time and needs to be repaired and replaced regularly.
The crossbow string is ripped from the bow and is a piece of fine beef tendon.
Then modify the arrow to make it suitable for firing on a crossbow.
These arrows are very simple. The arrowheads are ground out of stones, also called stone arrowheads. The advantage is that they cost nothing and the materials can be found as soon as you find them.
A few days later, Qin Qier went hunting in the mountains again, this time with a crossbow.
It's dusk again.
A beautiful voice came from a distance, it was her humming.
She even sang the song, which proved that she was in a good mood, and she saw a rabbit in her hand.
This is a great harvest.
After trotting all the way, she ran into the yard, looked at Pei Yun in the yard, and said, "Master, look, what is in my hand."
Pei Yun sighed inexplicably, "Rabbit is so cute, how can he eat rabbit?"
Qin Qi'er was confused, tilted her head and asked, "Can cuteness be eaten?"
Pei Yun was amused.
"How do you feel? This crossbow is easy to use."
Qin Qi'er immediately became very excited, "It has to be this crossbow. The arrow flies out. The rabbit can't even run away. How can the young master shoot so fast?"
What does it mean to shoot so fast? What kind of talk is this?
Pei Yun: "Sell the rabbit and prepare more food."
After having one more person in the family, the food consumption will increase. Ten days of food will be eaten up in three or four days.
It is the autumn harvest, and the people have the most food in their hands, so it is the best time to buy food.
There is a saying among the people that when there is sunshine, you must prepare food for rainy days.
Autumn passes and winter comes.
In winter, it will be difficult to go hunting in the mountains. Only by storing enough food can you survive the winter safely.
"But the young master is still weak and needs to be replenished."
"This is not imaginary, this is how it is."
There is one fact that needs to be acknowledged. In terms of physical fitness, Pei Yun is not as good as Qin Qier.
Is the physical fitness of a modern person worse than that of an ancient person?
