After teaching the group members, Zhou Ziwen took some time off.
From now on, he doesn’t have to teach the team members, and his life is free. He only needs to report to the production team every day, and then go to the mushroom planting base for a walk. It’s just fun.
Having nothing to do and being lighthearted refers to Zhou Ziwen's current state.
After staying at the mushroom planting base for a while, it was time to finish work at noon.
Zhou Ziwen went home with his two sisters. After lunch, he took a short rest and then went to work again.
However, only two sisters went to work, and Zhou Ziwen did not go.
Today he was going to go to the mountains to see if he could come across any better materials.
The previous bow was a bit impractical for him. He wanted to make a powerful big bow.
For hunters, a good bow is very helpful in hunting.
To make a good bow, you need to find the right materials, especially the wood of the bow body, which needs to be both hard and elastic.
There are many suitable materials, such as elm, mulberry or maple.
However, these materials are still a bit lacking for Zhou Ziwen.
His strength requires harder and more elastic materials.
For example, yew, eucalyptus, eucalyptus, oak, etc.
He planned to make a ten-stone bow.
A ten-stone bow requires almost 600 kilograms of strength to pull.
For Zhou Ziwen, although it is still relatively light, this is already the limit.
No matter how good the bow is, it’s not that it can’t pull it, it’s that it has no materials.
After tidying up a little, Zhou Ziwen took Tayun and Xiao Doi out.
There are marshmallows and Zhuifeng looking after the house at home. As for the clay ball, it is still on duty.
Going up the mountain, Zhou Ziwen soon came to Sidao Mountain.
When he arrived at Sidao Mountain, he did not stop, but continued to move forward.
He has been to Sidaoshan many times, but has never encountered suitable materials.
This time he planned to go to the mountains to have a look.
Deep in the forest, there are few people and the road is not that easy to walk.
Zhou Ziwen held an ax and opened the way ahead.
Tayun and Little Dot sniffed around, sometimes peeing under the tree to declare their ownership of the territory.
The sun shone dappledly from the treetops. As they gradually entered the depths of the forest, the surrounding air became fresher, but the light also became a little dim.
Zhou Ziwen walked carefully among the trees and shrubs, paying attention to things that might appear around him.
Whether he encounters herbs or prey, he will not let it go.
The herbal resources in the deep mountains are very rich. Not long after he came in, he discovered a lot of good old herbal medicines.
Zhou Ziwen picked some valuable herbs, but did not like the rest and did not want them.
There are also more prey inside.
As soon as he came in, he saw a weasel, a pheasant, and a poisonous snake.
He shot down the pheasant without moving the poisonous snake and weasel.
Hunting is easy for him, and he doesn't even like unpalatable things like poisonous snakes and weasels.
The road in the deep mountains is more difficult, and Zhou Ziwen's progress is not fast.
But the income along the way is not bad.
Especially Feng Shui, which he was about to get started with, gave him a lot of help.
Through the perception of Qi, he can easily find valuable things.
"Hey!" At this moment, Zhou Ziwen suddenly stopped and looked at a tree not far away.
This tree is very straight, the material is very hard, and it is very elastic. It is the ideal material he is looking for.
“This is a mulberry tree!”
Seeing that the trunk of the tree was covered with thorns, Zhou Ziwen called out its name.
Cumulative wood is a good bow-making material and was called imperial wood in ancient times.
Cudra wood is a natural yellow dye. When the mulberry tree grows up, the core of the tree becomes yellow, and this is a natural yellow dye.
The hierarchy in Kudat is extremely strict, and only the emperor can wear yellow clothes, which are dragon robes. The core material of the eucalyptus tree can be used to dye dragon robes. The color is not only beautiful, but also durable.
In ancient times, bows and arrows were very important weapons, and they were indispensable for marching and fighting.
The Zhejiang tree is very elastic, and the Zhe bow made from its wood core not only feels excellent in the hand, but is also extremely smooth to use.
Therefore, the bow made with it also has a special name - Zhe Gong. This is the best bow. It has been sought after by celebrities since ancient times and has become their right-hand man in hunting and war.
“This is the material I want.”
Zhou Ziwen looked at the tree in front of him in surprise.
He observed carefully around the trunk of the eucalyptus tree, feeling the hardness and elasticity of the tree.
The wood of the Cumulus tree is very hard and elastic, which is the ideal material for making a ten-stone bow.
He examined it and decided to cut down the tree.
Zhou Ziwen took out his ax and started to chop down the tree.
With the rise and fall of the axe, the trunk of the eucalyptus tree was gradually cut off.
In fact, the part that makes the bow body is the core of the tree, and the rest is not of much use, but if you chop it down, it is good to pull it back and use it as firewood.
After finding the materials for making a bow, Zhou Ziwen no longer wanted to stay in the mountains.
He shaved the bark at the root of the tree trunk and shaved off the sharp thorns, then pulled the trunk and rushed home with Tayun and Xiaodian.
Zhou Ziwen dragged the trunk of the eucalyptus tree. Although it was a bit heavy, his steps were still steady.
On the way home, Zhou Ziwen was in a particularly happy mood.
The growth of this mulberry tree is very standard. With his bow and arrow making ability, it is not a problem to make a ten-stone bow with excellent performance.
With the Ten Stone Bow, although he cannot fully utilize his strength, he can still exert part of it.
Range will not be an issue when hunting in the future.
As long as he can see it, he can shoot it.
He spent a lot of time in the mountains. When he returned home, the sun had begun to set, and the afterglow shone on the village road, covering the whole village with a golden veil.
Zhou Ziwen dragged the tree trunk home. The Chen sisters were very surprised to see that he had brought back such a thick tree.
“Brother Ziwen, where did you get such a thick tree trunk?” Chen Qiaoyi asked curiously.
Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile: "This is the eucalyptus wood I found in the deep mountains. It is the best material for making bows."
Chen Shiying also came over: "This wood is so thorny, it can really be used for making bows." A bow?”
“Haha, the part that makes the bow is the core of this tree, the rest is useless”
Zhou Ziwen explained with a smile.
“Oh, it turns out to be a tree core!”
After hearing Zhou Ziwen's explanation, Chen Shiying suddenly realized.
Making a bow and arrow is not a matter of one or two days.
While it was still dark outside, Zhou Ziwen decided to deal with it first.
He first cut off the branches from the trunk, then separated the trunk and took out the core inside.
By the time this is done, it will be almost dark outside. (End of chapter)
