Heixiong Valley is located in a dense forest valley deep in Cangshan Mountain behind Niujia Village. It has lush trees, flowers, yams, and various large beasts. According to an old hunter in the village, there are not only roe deer and wild deer.
and wild goats appear, and wolves often appear. What is even more shocking is that in the black bear ditch, it is said that there is also a huge black bear. The black bear has rough skin and thick flesh, and is extremely ferocious.
Neither spears nor sharp arrows can hurt it at all. Hunters usually take a detour when they see Black Bear Valley. Therefore, the old hunters in the village often remind young hunters not to go to Black Bear Valley. That place is too dangerous.
Under the leadership of Dahu, the three of them walked over the mountains and ridges for a long time, and finally arrived at the entrance of Heixiong Valley at noon. After the three of them sat down and ate some dry food, they prepared their bows and arrows and spears.
, and cautiously entered the dense ravine.
Ye Zheng also took out his pistol at this time and loaded it. He quietly followed behind Big Tiger and Little Tiger, but his eyes were looking around to see if he could find anything, so that he could take out his pistol on the spot and shock the two brothers.
Fan.
This Black Bear Valley is indeed different from other mountains and forests. The valley here has towering giant trees and dense flowers and plants. From a distance, you can hear the sounds of various birds and beasts roaring from the valley.
Some of them felt a mixture of anticipation and apprehension.
After walking in the woods for a long time, suddenly, a patch of grass ten meters away in front of me started shaking. It seemed that there was obviously prey hidden in it, and looking at the movement, it seemed that the size of the prey was quite large.
The tigers and cubs were so excited that they set up their bows and arrows, aimed at the grass, and pressed forward step by step.
The prey in the grass seemed to be aware of the arrival of Ye Zheng and others. They heard a "swish" sound and a yellow shadow sprang out from it. When they took a closer look, they saw that it was a fat roe deer as big as a dog.
Suddenly, Xiaohu whispered excitedly: "Do it!"
As soon as the voice finished, the little tiger and the big tiger opened their bows together. After two "whoosh" sounds, two feather arrows shot towards the running roe deer like lightning. Unfortunately, the roe deer ran away too fast, and the arrows were shot one after another.
In the air, they landed in the grass behind the roe deer one after another. The big tiger and the little tiger were unwilling to shoot a few more arrows, but without exception they missed by a little. The little tiger who missed continuously couldn't help but cursed through the air, and then shot out with full bow.
An arrow. This arrow finally hit the roe deer's hind leg, but I don't know if it was because the distance was too far or the strength was insufficient. The roe deer just swayed for a moment, then ran away faster, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Within the woods.
Everything happened just now because it happened so fast that even the fast Ye Zheng couldn't react. Originally, he wanted to shoot, but because Big Tiger and Little Tiger were blocking the front, he didn't even have a chance to take action, and he suddenly felt depressed.
Ye Zheng wanted to curse, what kind of rubbish archery skills, you two brothers are so good at hunting, even though you shot the prey, the prey ran away as if nothing happened, it's really rubbish,
Ye Zheng cursed secretly in his heart.
Looking at the frustrated expressions on the faces of the two brothers, Ye Zheng suddenly felt that their images of hunters had plummeted in his heart. "What are you doing? Didn't you clearly hit the target just now? Why did the prey run away like nothing happened?"
After saying that, Ye Zheng came to Xiaohu and took out an arrow from him. When he looked at it, he was stunned. "Hey, what kind of arrow is this? Why doesn't it seem to be an iron arrow? How can this kind of arrow be used?"
What about the lethality to prey?”
It turned out that the arrowheads of Big Tiger and Little Tiger's arrows were all black and hard wooden arrowheads. No wonder the roe deer could run so fast after being hit by the arrow.
When Big Tiger and Little Tiger saw Ye Zheng holding the arrow with a puzzled expression on his face, he immediately sighed and said: "Brother Ye, do you really not know or are you lying that you don't know? Today's imperial court has extremely strict control over steel and metal. Except for those in the government yamen
, Ordinary civilians are not allowed to wear weapons or privately store armor. The steel arrows you mentioned can be equipped except for the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. Where can we have them? Even if we really have steel arrows, once someone reports them,
That is the capital crime of rebellion and rebellion.”
Hearing their explanation, Ye Zheng was shocked. He did not expect that the metal control of civilians in this world would reach such an outrageous level.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Ye Zheng's ignorance. In the cold weapon era, the rulers had very strict control over steel armor. At that time, in order to prevent the Han slaves from rebelling, the Great Lie Dynasty recycled all the ironware from the slaves' homes in the world.
During the spring plowing period of the slaves, the local government would send guards to distribute them in the morning. After the plowing was completed in the evening, they would be recorded in the register and collected. If anyone was missing or lost, the whole family would be executed. What is even more outrageous is that a kitchen knife must be
Ten families took turns using it. On the day of the autumn harvest, the court would send officials from all walks of life to collect grain taxes. After the slaves paid the grain tax, the remaining food was barely enough to feed and clothe the whole family, and there was no grain left at all. What the court did
All this is to prevent slaves from rioting and rebelling.
After understanding all this, Ye Zheng sighed helplessly, secretly sighing at the darkness and unreasonableness of the feudal dynasty. Originally, he had always wondered why brothers Big Tiger and Little Tiger said that the marksman in their village could kill prey thirty steps away.
It was a very remarkable thing, but now it seems that it was indeed a very remarkable thing given the lack of iron tools at that time.
Touching the wooden arrowhead in his hand, Ye Zheng asked them why they didn't choose other materials to make the arrowheads instead of this black wood. Dahu said that other materials like stone were too hard, difficult to polish, and easily broken.
, so the ancestors chose to use black iron pear wood to make arrowheads after looking for many ways. The reason why they chose it is because the black iron pear wood is hard and has high density, and it will not irritate when touched by tung oil or water.
It is thicker and easier to polish, so everyone likes to use it to make arrowheads and spears.
After listening to this, Ye Zheng gained a deeper understanding of the world. At the same time, he gained a lot more confidence in his idea of conquering other worlds in the future. Damn it, what kind of bullshit does the Great Lie Dynasty rule over the people?
It can be described as cruel and cruel, but the more it is like this, the more beneficial it is to oneself. Isn’t it said in the history books of previous lives? The more the tyranny of the court oppresses the common people, the greater the rebelliousness of the people will be, and the oppression will be greater.
To a certain extent, sooner or later there will be an outbreak.
Because wherever there is oppression, there is resistance. This is an eternal law.
