Tang Shengkai rolled his eyes at him. The goatskin he brought back was no ordinary item; it had a special use in their current situation. He planned to use it for some unexpected purposes later, as the key to dealing with the Japanese would depend on this goatskin.
"I'm useful!"
If he couldn't get the Japanese to come over, he planned to make a few slingshots. He didn't know if others could hit the enemy, but he could kill them with just stones. However, he couldn't reveal that he possessed spiritual power. Hmm, he'd better be careful.
Xu Hongchang looked at the freshly peeled goat skin and then at Tang Shengkai.
"Old Tang, what's the use of this thing?"
He grew up in the city and knew that these things could be used to make clothes or beds, but he really didn't know what they were used for.
"This goatskin is tough and elastic; if it were made into a slingshot, it might become a decent weapon."
He carefully cut the goatskin into the appropriate shape, then found some suitable branches and began to make a slingshot.
Tang Shengkai's comrades, seeing his actions, gathered around him, their eyes filled with curiosity.
"Old Tang, will this slingshot really come in handy?" Bu Mancang asked with some doubt. He was also from the village, and they knew that the best material for making slingshots was cow tendon, but the village didn't even have one a year.
If a child has a slingshot, everyone would be incredibly envious.
Tang Shengkai smiled and said confidently, "Don't underestimate this slingshot. It might play a big role at a crucial moment."
Chen Erniu also came over, picked up a stone, put it in the slingshot's pouch, and tried pulling it to feel the slingshot's elasticity.
"Hey, I have to say, it's pretty strong." He grinned.
Tang Shengkai nodded and said, "We're out of bullets right now, so we can only try to make weapons using what we have around us. This slingshot is easy to make, and the materials are easy to obtain. Everyone can make one. The more weapons we have, the more protection we have."
After saying that, he picked up a stone, skillfully placed it on the slingshot, aimed at a small tree not far away, and pulled hard. The stone flew out like an arrow and hit the tree trunk accurately.
Upon seeing this, everyone cheered in unison. They all got to work; the thing wasn't difficult to make, but they weren't sure if it would actually work.
