The reason why Qin Yue didn't open up wasteland and plant the land first was because the original owner was so weak that even if he didn't need to cut down trees, he couldn't do much other work.
The top priority is to replenish the body and improve Qi and blood for myself and my four children.
As for cheap men, you can come along.
It is naturally best to use the spiritual fruits in the space to replenish the body. However, the four children and her current body are quite deficient. If the spiritual fruits are directly used to replenish the body, it is likely that the deficiency will not be replenished.
That's why she planned to make crossbow arrows to use for hunting some game.
The production process of crossbow arrows is much more complicated than that of bows and arrows, but it is a weapon that people like Qin Yue who are "unable to tie a chicken" can use.
Considering that there might be wild beasts in the mountains, Qin Yue planned to put more effort into making a powerful crossbow.
The bowstring can be made of cotton, linen, or animal tendons, which are difficult to find in the village, so she simply uses materials found in space.
The four little guys stood there with their eyes wide open, watching her grinding and hammering, and the small pieces of wood came together, and they suddenly felt that it was quite magical.
The little girl was no longer afraid of Qin Yue. Driven by curiosity, she boldly asked, "Mother, what are you doing like this?"
Qin Yue heard her voice sounding milky and chuckled. She stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek. Then two gray handprints appeared and she immediately started laughing.
The little girl's face was blank. She turned around and found that her three brothers were also laughing, so she also started to giggle along with her.
Qin Yue said: "When mother makes the crossbow, she can find more meat for my daughter to eat. It will be more delicious than spicy fried rabbit."
She actually doesn't like eating rabbit meat.
When the four little ones heard this, their eyes lit up.
In the West House, the man heard the adults and children in the yard laughing together, and almost thought he had heard wrongly. He knew very well how afraid the four children were of hating the village girls. Now this is...
It's a pity that he could only hear laughter but not what was said.
After spending three days, Qin Yue finally completed the crossbow, but faced a big problem.
What to do with crossbow arrows?
In order for the crossbow to exert its short-range armor-piercing penetration, the arrowhead must be an iron triangular pyramid.
Where can she find iron?
Ironware has become popular in this era, and the cost of finding a specialized blacksmith is not too high, but the problem is that now she doesn't have a penny!
Although wooden arrowheads can also be used, their power is far different. They can barely hit a wild rabbit, but they can't penetrate a wild boar with rough skin and thick flesh.
After asking the cheap man about this matter, she also got a negative answer, so Qin Yue had to think of other ways.
Since she wanted to experience a powerful crossbow, Qin Yue naturally didn't want to make do with wooden arrowheads.
She has also considered stone arrowheads, but polishing stones is not that easy in this era. Special tools and skills are required, not to mention polishing them into arrowheads.
Qin Yue thought about it for a while, but she thought of a way.
She was an expert in this field and immediately felt that this method was feasible.
She did what she thought of and carried a few pears to Lao Lizheng's house.
Lao Li wanted to hide when he saw her.
She exchanged a few pears for a lot of useless scrap iron and ready-made iron pieces, and Qin Yue went back to making arrowheads with satisfaction.
She first made the wooden arrowhead, and then carved three long grooves on it to make it stronger when wrapped with iron.
After hammering and hammering all afternoon until nightfall, Qin Yue made a total of three crossbow arrows.
She was so happy that if it hadn't been getting late, she would have gone up the mountain to give it a try.
So early the next morning, Qin Yue went into the mountain accompanied by the rooster's crow.
Still carrying the basket on her back, this time she not only wanted to bring back some delicacies, but also to catch some game.
Following the tracks of some hunters into the mountains, Qin Yue did not dare to go too deep. She knew her own limitations. Even if she had a powerful crossbow in hand, she could only deliver food when encountering ferocious beasts.
The further she walked in, the more careful she became. Qin Yue stared closely at her surroundings. Suddenly she heard a rustling sound and stopped.
Breathing slowed down, leaving only the low-key chirping of insects and the occasional chirping of birds.
A subtle humming sound came from the grass, and after a while, a small wild boar came out with its tail wagging.
Qin Yue's eyes lit up when she saw that the wild boar was not yet fully grown.
He quietly raised his crossbow and pointed the gleaming arrow at the wild boar.
Whoosh!
The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded, and before the wild boar could react, the crossbow arrow penetrated its neck!
Seeing the power of the crossbow, Qin Yue's face was filled with a smile.
In her previous life, animals were protected everywhere, but she was not allowed to achieve results like this.
The wild boar twitched a few times and became motionless. Qin Yue stepped on it and pulled out the crossbow arrows. She only had three arrows and they had to be recycled after use.
The iron-coated wood crossbow arrows are still inferior after all, and the head is already a bit blunt, so they need to be polished when they go back.
Although it was very worn, Qin Yue still put it away very preciously.
She bent down to pick up the pig's head, but it didn't move for a moment. She was immediately overjoyed. The pig weighed about eighty or ninety pounds, which was much larger than she expected.
Such a big harvest just after entering the mountain!
Qin Yue was not familiar with this place and did not dare to stay for too long. It was impossible to hold the wild boar in the backpack, so she had to drag it all the way back.
After grabbing the wild boar's leg and dragging it back, Qin Yue realized how weak the original owner's body was.
She was gasping for breath three times before walking 100 meters. In desperation, she ate a spiritual fruit and she finally recovered.
Spirit fruit is the most effective as medicine. Her body is still a little weak and cannot be replenished. It would be a waste to eat the spirit fruit directly. Fortunately, she has a lot of it.
Spirit fruit is a native product of space. When she had space, there were spirit fruit tree seedlings that grew up with her.
When the spiritual fruit tree grew into a towering tree and produced abundant harvests, she had already made great achievements in the fields of military weapons and farming, and then began to conquer the field of medicine.
She dragged the wild boar back and forth, but could never see the edge of the forest. Obviously, she couldn't get very far despite her efforts.
A roar came, Qin Yue's face changed drastically, she ducked and hid in the grass, her heartbeat accelerated.
There are bears in this mountain!
She should have thought of it, there would be black blind men in the village in her previous life, not to mention that this place is so primitive, it is not surprising that there are bears.
This is terrible, I hope the bear is just passing by.
The bear's roar was deep and deep, making people tremble with fear, but Qin Yue could tell something was wrong.
She looked over cautiously, then opened her eyes wide.
At this moment, a man is in a stalemate with a bear.
The man was wearing a military uniform and leather armor, holding a long knife. He stared at the blind man who was approaching step by step. He waved the long knife lightly in his hand, and a cold light flashed.
The blind man didn't dare to get too close, but he wasn't willing to leave just yet. One person and one bear just stood there.
The man seemed to be injured, breathing heavily, and could smell the smell of blood. I was afraid that the smell of blood might have attracted the black blind man.
Qin Yue quietly aimed the crossbow at the blind man.
