Starting as a Mute Girl? I Thrive in Famine Years

Special forces operative Jiang Huaixu transmigrated, becoming a seemingly dull and mute girl.

Her grandmother secretly abused her and even planned to sell her off? Jiang Huaixu was furious, d...

Chapter 81: Execute First and Report Later

After Jiang Erlang opened the slots at both ends and roasted the bow on the fire for a while as Jiang Huaixu instructed, Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Huaixu had already made two bows and arrows.

Since there were no arrow feathers, leaves were used instead.

Finally, Jiang Erlang and Yun Qi worked together to wrap the bow handle and pull the bowstring, and the bow was completed.

Yun Qi picked up a simple bow and arrow, strung it, aimed at a thick bamboo and shot it. The tip of the bow and arrow actually pierced into the bamboo.

"good!!"

"This kid has good aim!"

Jiang Huaixu took a look and saw that many villagers had gathered around him without him noticing.

Her eyes fell on Jiang Yao, who was next to the village chief... and her eyes twitched involuntarily. The girl's love affair was too obvious. Jiang Yao stared at Yun Qi without blinking, and a blush could be seen on her cheeks even on her tanned face.

Is this really a concern?

She looked at Jiang Zhengmao who was walking towards her and stepped forward to meet him.

"Uncle Village Chief, I have something to discuss with you. There are a lot of bamboos here. How about we make more bows for self-defense?"

The future was uncertain, and bows and arrows had a long range and could be used for self-defense. Jiang Zhengmao naturally wanted to agree immediately, but didn't he still have Brother Zheng? He felt that with Village Chief Zheng's cautious nature, he would probably hesitate.

He turned his head and looked behind him. The people who came to watch were all men and boys. Where was the figure of Village Chief Zheng?

He secretly winked at Jiang Huaixu and raised his voice, "You guys play by yourselves first. I have to go discuss this with your Grandpa Zheng!"

Jiang Huaixu responded loudly and politely, "Hey, Uncle Village Chief, I understand."

After Jiang Zhengmao left, she said to the villagers who were watching: "Uncles, aunts, and brothers, if you have any questions, please come to my second brother, third brother, and Yun Qi. They can teach you how to make bows and arrows. It's also good to hunt bamboo rats and rabbits!"

After she called out, the villagers who were already itching to try it immediately took action and surrounded Jiang Erlang, Jiang Sanlang and Yun Qi in an instant.

Jiang Erlang cast a helpless glance at Jiang Huaixu, who was smiling brightly, from the crowd and was forced to take on the matter.

On the other hand, Village Chief Zheng did have some concerns about making bows and arrows. There were so many of them, and each of them had a bow. What if the government found out and thought they were bandits and wanted to arrest them?

"Brother Zheng, what you're thinking about does make sense, but this isn't something we can just say we can't do. Look!" Jiang Zhengmao pointed at the people not far away who had already started chopping bamboo. "These guys are really interested! They're all planning on making bows for hunting!"

When Village Chief Zheng heard this, he knew that he was being executed without consulting Jiang Zhengmao. He glanced at Jiang Zhengmao and simply walked away.

Jiang Zhengmao stroked his mustache, with an uncontrollable smile on his lips.

This old man is so cautious and hesitant!

After the earthquake, how could the government care about these refugees? They should have been thinking about how to protect the elderly, children, women and food as the number of refugees increased!

Bow making activities are in full swing.

Jiang Huaixu also made a bow himself, pulled the bowstring, aimed at the distance and shot an arrow. Except for the poor accuracy, everything else was good.

She thought for a moment and untied the hemp rope wrapped around the bow handle, then made a semicircular groove in the middle of the bow, and did the same with the bow handle, and then fixed it again with the hemp rope.

The notch is equivalent to the arrow path of a crossbow. Drawing the bow and shooting arrows again feels much better than before.

She shared this little trick with the guys who were making bows, and then stopped caring about the bows.

"Sister! Afu!" Jiang Huaixu waved to Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu in the crowd, motioning them to come over.

"Second cousin, what do you want from us?"

"Come!" Jiang Huaixu waved to the two of them and walked towards the tent.

The two of them didn't ask any more questions and followed him.

After entering the tent, Jiang Huaixu took out two hairpins from under the bedding on the side where he slept and handed them to the two men.

"Sister, Afu, take these two hairpins and use them for self-defense."

She bought the hairpins at the Modern Mall for the two of them to use for self-defense. Unfortunately, Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu were not old enough to wear hairpins, so she had to let them carry them with them.

They both took it, and the smiles on their eyes and eyebrows could not be concealed at all. Even though it was just a bamboo-shaped wooden hairpin, it looked a bit rustic, and they were not old enough to wear hairpins, it still did not stop them from being happy.

These farm girls rarely see even a silk flower, let alone a hairpin that is finely crafted and engraved with patterns.

Seeing that the two were just having fun, Jiang Huaixu demonstrated to them how to use the hidden weapons.

The mechanism of the hairpin is similar to that of a hidden sword. When you press a protrusion on the head of the hairpin, a poisoned silver needle will shoot out from the end of the hairpin. The poison on the silver needle is the snake venom she had collected before.

After knowing that the mechanism was poisonous, Jiang Wei and Jiang Fu's hands trembled slightly.

"What if I get pricked?" Jiang Wei asked timidly.

Jiang Huaixu explained: "It takes a lot of strength to open the mechanism, so be careful not to trigger it on a normal day."

Jiang Fu held the hairpin and said cautiously, "Second cousin, we will be careful."

The three of them talked for a few more words, and then Jiang Wei took Jiang Fu out to show off the hairpin.

Jiang Huaixu had no choice but to give a few more instructions, and finally, looking at the backs of the two people leaving, he felt tired and out of love.

Afterwards, she took out the map from the tent again. In order to defend against foreign enemies, ancient cities were surrounded by walls of more than ten meters, and the city gates would be closed at night. Some cities were even divided into inner and outer cities. Under normal circumstances, unless she could fly, she could only go through the city gate.

But now was different. The earthquake had just passed. No matter how strong the walls of Zhangzhou City were, they couldn't withstand an earthquake, right? He wanted to go explore, but the bamboo forest they were in was quite far from the city gate, and he didn't know how long it would take to walk there. He could only wait until nightfall.

"Mom, I'm going to dig some wild vegetables." Jiang Huaixu picked up the small backpack and shouted to Qian Xiuzhu.

"Hey, don't go far."

Qian Xiuzhu, who was busy with needlework, gave instructions.

As she turned to leave, Jiang Fu stopped her, "Second cousin, I'm coming with you!"

Jiang Fu put down the firewood she had picked up and trotted over to Jiang Huaixu.

Jiang Huaixu, who originally wanted to explore the new path: ······

"Where is Sister Rong?" she asked.

"I'm having a great time playing with Tianya and Liu'er!"

Liu'er is Zheng Cong's daughter.

In this case, Jiang Huaixu had no reason not to let Jiang Fu follow him. "Let's go, let's take a walk around here."

"Okay." Jiang Fu's heart jumped for joy.

Holding a sickle in his hand, Jiang Huaixu led the way and walked towards the city gate.

After several days of collecting, she found it difficult to find new herbs in this area, so Futuan naturally became a tool for digging wild vegetables.

Unwilling to be lonely, Totoro Futuan ran out of the space, flying up and down in the forest, looking very happy. It found a wild vegetable and sat on it. Fortunately, it was weightless, otherwise, with its chubby body, the wild vegetable would be crushed by it and inedible.
