The bow and arrow I made when I first came to the island was so shoddy that it had no power at all.
I first found a piece of bamboo with the best quality, and then I cut it into a long and thin bamboo stick, which I was going to use to make a bow.
After the bamboo strips were cut, I put them on the fire and baked them back and forth, which would make them softer and easier for me to bend.
I tried most of the rattan on the island, and most of them were not suitable for making bow strings.
But after a complex screening, I finally set my sights on the white rattan. This plant is called the rope of the jungle and its net length can grow to more than dozens of meters.
I found a white vine without knots, punched two holes in the two ends of the bow, and then passed the white vine through. In this way, a sharp bow was made.
The next step is making arrows. The bow and arrows are made from the same material. Making arrows out of bamboo is the simplest and most practical way.
In a short while, I made more than ten arrows. Now it was getting dark, and I didn't plan to continue. These were enough for today.
After it was completely dark, Qin Lan and I had dinner and I planned to go to the bamboo forest to check the situation.
"Don't leave me, take me with you."
When I was about to go out, Qin Lan grabbed my arm reluctantly.
"It's inconvenient for you to follow me this late at night."
This time I was not sure whether I could come back safely, but if I didn’t go, there would always be hidden dangers around me, which made me very uncomfortable.
"Don't think about leaving me. I'm going to follow you."
Qin Lan stubbornly grabbed the bow and arrow and put it on her back.
"Ah, I really can't persuade you, but if you follow me, you must follow my instructions in everything you do."
After turning off the lights in the cave, Qin Lan and I went out together.
The moonlight on the island today is extremely bright, just like walking on the snow in the early morning.
We walked like this for about an hour before we finally reached the bamboo forest that I had visited during the day.
"This is it. There's a trap down there. Be careful."
By moonlight, I carefully explored the situation around the sacrifice. In addition to the place I walked in the morning, I found traces of felled grass on one side of the trap.
