Mufeng used to make simple bows out of willow branches, and it became his favorite childhood toy with jute poles.

Later, he studied history, and also made a detailed understanding of various cold weapons in history, including one of the earliest weapons in history - bow and arrow.

The material for making bows and arrows is black bamboo.

Black-skinned bamboo is flexible and hard, and now the javelins and bamboo forks in the tribe are made of black-skinned bamboo.

In particular, he originally planned to let everyone in the hunting team have bows and arrows, so that no matter whether they are hunting or self-defense in the future, they will have one more weapon.

For this reason, he specially called Lihu and Mingguang, and asked them to follow him and watch.

Taking into account Changning's feelings, he also let Lihufang two people from the Blue Bird Department join the tribe.

Otherwise, it would be bad if they were concerned about Changning's safety and then something happened.

Mu Feng asked Mingguang to go to Beishan to see a few black-skinned bamboos, and then he started making bows and arrows at the entrance of his cave.

Naturally, Changning saw wild onions and shepherd's purse planted nearby again, and couldn't help but ask, "What is this green patch?"

Mu Feng explained with a smile: "Wild vegetables, you can eat them!"

"Ah?" Changning was surprised, his pretty face was full of disbelief, "Isn't this something that wild sheep and earth dragons like to eat?"

Without waiting for Mu Feng to speak, White Fang couldn't help but wrinkle his nose and said, "Who said that, the shepherd's purse and wild onion that Brother Mu Feng found are delicious for stewing soup!"

"Soup stew?" Chang Ning was surprised, "How about stewing soup?"

White Fang scoffed, rolled her eyes at her, and explained it with a smile.

After Changning heard it, she looked at Mu Feng again in amazement. She really wanted to know how the Great Chief, who looked younger than herself, knew so many strange things.

White Fang was in high spirits as he explained to her, clearly showing off to himself.

However, Chang Ning was thinking about how to learn how to make bows and arrows, but he didn't care.

Regardless of the two girls' thoughts, Mu Feng picked up a black-skinned bamboo about 1.8 meters long, picked up a machete and prepared to split the bamboo.

However, he frowned and thought for a while before he took the knife, looked at Changning and said seriously, "Ke Changning, before teaching you how to make bows and arrows, I need you to assure me of something!"

"Huh?" Not understanding why Mu Feng was so serious, Chang Ning hurriedly asked, "You said it!"

"I can teach you bows and arrows, but I don't want such weapons to be used by your Blue Bird clan to deal with my Jiang clan in the future!" Mu Feng stared into Chang Ning's eyes and said.

"If you can guarantee that the arrows of the bow and arrow are not pointing to my Jiang family, I can teach you. If not, then I can't teach you!"

Several people around felt the sudden seriousness of Mu Feng, and they did not dare to let out the atmosphere.

Especially Lihu and Mingguang, the two of them clearly heard another meaning from Mu Feng's words - the bow and arrow are very likely to threaten Jiang's family in the future.

"But since that's the case, wouldn't it be okay if the Great Chief doesn't teach her?" Lihu thought to himself, and at the same time he glanced at Mingguang and found that he was also full of doubts.

On the other hand, Chang Ning was startled at first, his brows furrowed.

After a long while, she seemed to suddenly think of something, a surprise in her eyes, and then she nodded her head, one hand on her chest.

, pointed to the sky: "I swear by my blue bird totem, if I get the method of bow and arrow, I will not point at Jiang's grass and trees in the future. If I violate the oath, my blue bird will never be able to fly to the sky!"

"It's also Maduo!" The two who followed him shouted in unison.

Before they could say what they said, Chang Ning waved to interrupt them: "Shut up!"

Mu Feng looked at her eyes, her beautiful eyes were full of solemnity and sincerity.

He nodded: "Okay, I believe you!"

"However, it takes a long time to make a bow, White Fang, go and prepare some food, let's stew the soup!" Mu Feng ordered.

"Yes!" White Fang hurried back to prepare.

So Mu Feng picked up the machete, cut open the black-skinned bamboo, and then picked up half of it and cut it open again, and got a piece of bamboo.

He took this piece of bamboo and began to cut off the excess, and smoothed the whole body of the piece of bamboo into a smooth piece of bamboo about five or six centimeters in width.

"Lihu, make a fire!" Mu Feng ordered.

Li Hu, who was watching honestly from the side, hurriedly made a fire.

Mu Feng then took the bamboo pieces and roasted them on the fire, and the roasting position was about one-fifth of one end of the bamboo pieces.

"What is this for?" Chang Ning couldn't help asking.

"Bake the bamboo slices softly, and then bend them!" After saying this, Mu Feng took the bamboo slices off the flames, squeezed the bamboo slices with both hands and tried to press them on the ground. The arc of the camber.

However, the wood wind only bent a few times and then did not exert any more force, but continued to bake on the fire.

It took no less than seven times to bake in this way, and it took more than an hour before and after Mu Feng successfully bent one end of the bamboo piece.

Then he cooked it according to the law, and baked the other end of the bamboo slices so softly and bent.

Finally, he placed the middle three-fifths of the bamboo pieces on a stone platform, and the exposed one-fifths of the bamboo pieces were tied with animal tendon ropes, and a stone of similar size was hung below. .

After doing this, he clapped his hands, sniffed the aroma in the air, and said with a smile, "Eat!"

"Is this ready for bows and arrows?" Changning wondered, his beautiful brows were twisted into knots, obviously he didn't see it like this

something that can be attached to a weapon.

"Not yet!" Mu Feng said with a smile, "First set the shape of the bow body! You can continue to do it after eating!"

"Oh!" Only then did Chang Ning react, sniffing his nose, his eyes lit up, "What is this, it smells so good!"
