After tossing and turning for a while, he still couldn't fall asleep, so the second senior brother simply got up, put on his clothes, and sat on the head of the kang, just like the posture he saw Junior Brother Sha squatting there practicing bow and arrow last night.

But my mood at this moment is completely different from last night.

His worries are not without reason.

Although he was a relatively flexible fat man, his huge belly still caused him a lot of inconvenience.

The reason why he could have such a high status in the tribe, besides his brute strength, was most importantly his excellent throwing skills, which was what he was most proud of.

However, the appearance of bows and arrows shattered his pride.

It would be fine if only Junior Brother Sha could shoot an arrow farther than he could throw, but the result now is that anyone who is not particularly weak in strength can basically surpass him with a bow and arrow.

How can one word describe this kind of pain and loss?

It was a cold and quiet night. The snow outside looked pale against the window. In another room, the fur covering the kang suddenly moved, and a person came out.

This person is not very tall and looks like a teenager. People who can wake up and get up at this time basically have personal matters to deal with.

The rooms in the Qingque tribe are equipped with a "urine bucket" with a lid. You carry it in before going to bed at night and take it out in the morning. You can urinate in the house, but if you need to relieve yourself, you can only go to the toilet in the cold...

However, surprisingly, the guy who got up in the middle of the night did not get off the kang to look for the urine bucket, but turned around and came to the front window covered with fur, and even picked up the bricks on the windowsill that were pressing the fur, and opened most of the fur curtain...

This is a good idea, but also a dangerous move. If the Son of God finds out that you have done this, you will definitely be punished.

However, the child did not take out the thing to drain the water, but put his head close to the open window and looked out.

Against the backdrop of the white snow, the child's face can be identified as Stone.

At this time, Shitou had a sad look on his face.

It can be said that he has been rather melancholy over the past two days because the sky was cloudy and he could not see the moon, and without being able to see the moon he had no way of drawing its shape.

Because he kept wondering whether the moon would come out in the middle of the night, he woke up in the middle of the night. When he saw the room was so bright, he thought the moon had come out. As a result, after happily opening the curtains, he saw only snow and the dim night sky. There was no shadow of the moon.

He looked at it for a while longer without giving up, but finally gave up.

However, he did not seal the animal skin curtains. Instead, he used the light coming in to look at the ceramic plate leaning against the side of the kang.

On the pottery plate, there is a painting of the moon shape he carved during this period.

After comparing them for a while, Shitou scratched his hair in distress.

The last moon on the pottery plate is a half circle, which he drew the day before yesterday.

There was no moon yesterday and tonight, so it should be marked with an x, but Shi Tou didn't want to do that.

Because from the shapes of the moon that he had recorded before, he knew that the moon would not change so quickly. There should have been a moon last night and tonight, just like these two.

He pondered, and finally placed his finger under the two moons two rows apart above.

In front of these two moons was a moon that was very similar to the one he had portrayed the day before.

Shitou took out his "pottery brush" from the side, and wanted to imitate the shapes of the two moons he had just pointed out, and draw yesterday's moon and today's moon in turn. After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't start. Instead, he drew a hanging hook-like symbol on it and put a dot under the hook.

This was the symbol he had learned from the Son of God to express doubt or the unknown.

After doing this, Shitou moved the pottery aside, pressed the lower part of the leather curtain with bricks again, and crawled into the fur to continue sleeping.

"Come with me."

The next morning, Han Cheng got up early to check the earth kiln. After digging it open, he found that most of the kiln was filled with high-quality charcoal. At this point, Han Cheng finally felt relieved.

Now that the charcoal burning problem has been solved, we will have the most basic conditions for smelting steel or refining copper in the future.

Han Cheng was in a good mood and was directing people to take out the charcoal in the kiln and put firewood back in to continue burning. After he saw his second senior brother with bloodshot eyes and a look of exhaustion, this scene happened.

Han Cheng finished the last mouthful of the soup in the bowl, which was no longer very hot, and stood up. He said to his second brother who had been outside in the snow looking at the wooden stake being used as a target for a while.

The second senior brother was stunned for a moment, looking at the Son of God who had turned and walked towards the room. He paused for a while before taking a step to catch up.

"Feeling uncomfortable?"

Han Cheng sat in the main seat and asked in a casual tone as he looked at his second brother who seemed a little reserved and nervous in front of him.

The second senior brother had very complicated feelings about the bow and arrow. On the one hand, his pride was ruthlessly shattered by the bow and arrow. On the other hand, his attitude towards the bow and arrow before was not very friendly. The bow and arrow were made by the Son of God, which made him have a complicated feeling similar to guilt, especially when facing Han Cheng.

This matter has been weighing on his mind for the past two days, and he was afraid that someone else would mention it. Now that he was called by the Son of God, he was directly confronted with the things hidden in his heart, which made his face turn red all of a sudden, and he avoided looking at Han Cheng.

Standing here is a man who is three times bigger than Han Cheng. When facing the child-like Han Cheng, he is more childish than the child.

People are really strange. Take the second brother, for example. He used to sleep when he was full, eat when he was full, and work when there was work. He never thought too much about anything. But now he has such a big reaction to the bow and arrow matter, and has complicated emotions.

"God...Son of God."

He hesitated for a while, then opened his mouth and called out, but after that he didn't know what to say anymore.

Looking at the appearance of Second Brother, Han Cheng suddenly felt like a parent facing a child who had made a mistake.

It's just that the child is too big.

"sit down."

Han Cheng smiled and pointed at a wooden block beside him which was much taller than the ordinary ones and said to his second senior brother.

After the second brother sat down, he said bluntly: "You don't have to be so upset. Although the bow and arrow can go farther than your throwing skill, your throwing skill is just as useful..."

Han Cheng was telling the truth. The bow and arrow did have many advantages, but throwing could not be completely replaced by it.

For example, in terms of speed and simplicity, the much more complicated bow and arrow cannot compare to throwing.

As for shooting three arrows with one arrow and having every arrow hit the target, that only exists in novels and movies, and Han Cheng didn't dare to hope for it.

These are not the most important things. The most important thing is that most people in the Qingque tribe are used to throwing. Using a bow and arrow may not be as accurate as throwing with bare hands, just like the second senior brother who is like the Pea Shooter.

Of course, outliers like Junior Brother Sha need to be excluded.

The second senior brother, who was originally uneasy, gradually calmed down, and after Han Cheng finished speaking, a smile appeared on his face.

As long as it is useful to the tribe, this is his most simple idea.

But after thinking about the distance of the bow and arrow which was far beyond his ability, the second senior brother still felt a little uncomfortable.

How could Han Cheng not know what Second Senior Brother was thinking? He was prepared for this. He patted Second Senior Brother's hand and said, "I can make a weapon. With it, you can throw stones very far. It's not worse than a bow and arrow."

"real?!"

The second brother perked up, stood up suddenly, looked at Han Cheng with shining eyes, and didn't even care that the wooden stool he was sitting on was knocked over.

"Of course it's true."

Han Cheng looked at his second brother's reaction, smiled and nodded, saying affirmatively.
