"beep!"
As if it was specifically designed to slap Han Dashenzi in the face, before he could finish his thought, a unique voice rang out.
Junior Brother Sha was holding the bow in his hand, looking at the feather arrow nailed to the wooden stake with some excitement and disbelief. It was obvious that he had not expected that he could hit the target on his first shot.
'Too much talk leads to mistakes; too many shots lead to hits.' No matter how many times you shoot arrows, you will not be able to escape this rule.
Han Cheng thought so, but in his heart he was looking forward to Junior Brother Sha's second arrow.
Junior Brother Sha drew his bow and drew his arrow, then loosened his grip and the sound of "thump" was heard again.
Two arrows were already stuck on the tree stump used as a simple target.
Han Cheng looked at Junior Brother Sha who was drawing the bow again with joy and some surprise.
The third arrow missed, which made the onlookers feel quite regretful, and Han Cheng also felt a little regretful.
But on second thought, he became happy again.
The first time he came into contact with a bow and arrow, he was able to hit two out of three arrows. This shows that Junior Brother Sha has a great talent for archery.
Moreover, the wooden stakes used as targets now are different from the round targets commonly seen in later generations. It is much more difficult to shoot an arrow at them than at the target.
Although the power of the bow and arrow is far less than imagined, with the precedent of Junior Brother Sha shooting three arrows in a row, the expectations of the people behind him for the bow and arrow have increased a lot.
Han Cheng personally went over and pulled out the feather arrow nailed to the wooden stake. He wanted to see the power of the bow and arrow.
The power is far inferior to that of a real bow and arrow. Even though the outside of the wooden stake used as a target has been rotten, the arrow still did not penetrate very far.
Han Cheng was already very satisfied with this. After all, this was a ridiculously simple bow and arrow made in a hurry.
The bow and arrow passed around among the remaining people, but few were able to shoot the arrows at the wooden stake, and there was no one like Junior Brother Sha who hit the target twice in a row.
"Duk!"
The bow and arrow returned to Junior Brother Sha's hands. The second time he touched the bow and arrow, he felt it better than the first time. He shot an arrow, and the feather arrow was nailed on the wooden stake again.
The people of the Qingque tribe, who had experienced the difficulty of archery firsthand, couldn't help but cheer.
Especially after Junior Brother Sha hit the target with three arrows this time, the cheers from the crowd became even louder, and even Han Chengdu couldn't help but cheer for Junior Brother Sha.
Some people even asked Junior Brother Sha how to shoot the arrow so that it could be nailed on the wooden pillar.
Junior Brother Sha really didn't know how he shot. He just followed his feeling and hit the target with one shot. Therefore, when others asked him about it, he couldn't explain it clearly.
When everyone was cheering for Junior Brother Sha, Second Senior Brother was a little unhappy. After all, he used to be the best thrower in the Green Bird Tribe, but now Junior Brother Sha has stolen the limelight. Primitive people did not have as complex emotions as people in later generations, but they still had many basic emotions.
He took a few stones and came to Junior Brother Sha who was holding a bow and arrow, and signaled everyone to move aside.
Then he came to where Junior Brother Sha was, and took a few steps back, increasing the distance between him and the wooden stake.
Then the hand holding a stone suddenly waved, and the stone hit the wooden stake squarely.
The three stones hit the target three times, and the last time they hit directly a wooden stake that was not buried in the soil but slightly supported by a few stones.
Seeing this, everyone in the Qingque tribe cheered for the second senior brother.
Han Cheng also gave a thumbs up to his second senior brother. This guy's nickname of "Pea Shooter" was indeed well-deserved.
Throwing stones was a very important skill in this era. Even later, after the bow and arrow were fully developed, throwing stones as a means of attacking the enemy never completely disappeared.
For example, the more common locust stone.
The most famous one should be the one in Water Margin, where Zhang Qing, who had no arrows, beat heroes with rocks and defeated 17 generals of Liangshan in one day.
Even Master Lu Zhishen, whose bald head reflected in the moonlight, was cracked by Zhang Qing with a stone.
The next largest one is the trebuchet. When this thing is thrown at full force, it is just like a small cannonball...
This was still the case later, and in today's era, throwing stones is still an extremely simple and effective means of hunting and fighting enemies.
No matter from which perspective, Han Cheng would not be stingy in praising his second senior brother.
Junior Brother Sha came to where the second senior brother was and also drew his bow and arrow. The two of them seemed to want to compete with each other today.
However, in this contest, Junior Brother Sha was at a disadvantage.
Because after being shot many times, the elasticity of this hastily made simple longbow has become much smaller, and it is naturally no match for the pea shooter of Second Brother.
After this comparison, most people in the Qingque tribe believed that the bows and arrows made by the Son of God were not as useful as the stone-throwing skills they already mastered.
Han Cheng didn't care too much about everyone's attitude, because he knew clearly how broad the prospects of bows and arrows were.
This scene suddenly reminded him of the initial trial run of the steam locomotive, when someone easily overtook the train on horseback, thinking that the train was nothing special.
But what happened later? Even if a horse is exhausted to death, it can’t catch up with the high-speed train.
The second senior brother was pounding his chest to indicate that he would not use a bow and arrow in the future. Junior brother Sha came to Han Cheng with a bow and arrow, looking a little frustrated.
Junior Brother Sha likes bows and arrows very much. He can't throw stones accurately with his hands, but he can be very accurate with a bow and arrow, so he is unwilling to give up bows and arrows.
After Han Cheng took the bow and looked at it for a while, he had an idea in mind. He reached out and patted Junior Brother Sha on the shoulder, signaling him not to be depressed.
This is just the most crude bow. After a little improvement, we will be able to make a bow that can shoot farther and with greater power.
Junior Brother Sha became more energetic, and recalled the story of 'Hou Yi Shooting Down the Sun' that the Son of God told him last night, which had fascinated him greatly. He looked at Han Cheng and said hopefully, "Can you shoot down the sun, too?"
Han Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He should not have told the story of Houyi shooting down the sun.
Han Cheng said seriously: "We can't shoot down the sun, but we can shoot it farther."
Then he added: "There is only one sun in the sky now. If you really shoot it down, we won't be able to live."
After hearing what the Son of God said, Junior Brother Sha finally realized the problem and couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
He no longer worried about shooting the sun, but asked Han Cheng how to make a more powerful bow.
Han Cheng said what he had already thought of: "Go to the mulberry forest and cut down a tree this thick."
As he spoke, he made a circle the size of a bowl with his hand.
"When I come back, I will teach you how to make a more powerful bow and arrow."
Junior Brother Sha got the accurate information from Han Cheng, and ran away happily, but was stopped by Han Cheng, who asked the eldest brother and the others to go with him.
After all, we are going into the wild, so it is better to have a companion.
The matter of the bow and arrow came to a temporary end, and Han Cheng could finally implement his sudden idea.
