Chapter 29: Teaching the "Secret"

Still following yesterday's order, Su Meng and Du Jiayue went to take a bath first, and then after they came back, Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing went to take a bath.

This time, Su Meng even planed a few pieces of charcoal from the fire to bring with him, which was used as soap.

In the wild, charcoal is actually a very good cleaning product. You only need to grind it into a powder on a stone, and the cleaning power is very good.

Pure natural pollution-free without additives.

Su Meng still waited for Du Jiayue to wash her body before going to wash herself, because as time went by, the water in the pool would only get colder and colder.

She was afraid that Du Jiayue would not be able to catch a cold.

Su Meng took off her clothes, grinning and scrubbing her body, while looking around vigilantly.

"Hiss—it seems that you can only come here to take a bath during this period of time, and after a while when the weather turns cold, you won't be able to take a bath." Su Meng muttered to herself, and silently adjusted the schedule in her mind .

And when she was thinking wildly, she suddenly discovered that there were footprints of wild boars in the mud at the end of the stream!On the stone pile not far away, there is also the droppings of wild boars!

The messy footprints told her that it was not one wild boar who came here to drink and roll, but several, and there was even a high possibility of wild boars.

Thinking of this, Su Meng quickly speculated in her mind based on the wild boar's habits.

Wild boars usually forage for food in the morning and dusk. At noon, they will enter the dense forest to avoid the sun, and they also like to bathe and roll in muddy water.

Thinking of this, Su Meng walked to the side of the stone pile and carefully examined the pile of feces.

The wild boar's feces are small black dung balls, which are still very fresh, and should have been pulled 2 hours ago.

Thinking of this, she suddenly showed a malicious smile.

Wild boar, that is a national second-class protected animal.

It must be delicious!
Wild boar skin can be used to make clothes, pig blood can be used to make blood, fat meat can be used to boil lard, oil residue sprinkled with salt is another delicious food, pig head meat, pig ears, pork belly, tenderloin, elbow , pork knuckle soup...

"Shut up—"

Just thinking about it, Su Meng couldn't help but salivate.

But she is also very sensible, because she clearly knows that with the tools they have now, they will definitely not be able to deal with wild boars, and they must have long-range weapons.

After all, the lethality of wild boars is still very strong. The weight of normal adult wild boars is about 100-400 catties, while the weight of Eurasian wild boars produced in the southeastern part of China and the Far East of the fighting ethnic groups can even grow to 800 catties.

This kind of wild boar has a strong body, a keen sense of smell, and two pairs of strong and sharp tusks, which can be used as knives with a little polishing.

It's not the same thing always cutting vegetables with a hatchet...

Su Meng's thoughts drifted uncontrollably again.

Wild boar is really a good thing, it can be eaten and used, and the whole body is full of treasures.

The two returned to the camp and asked Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing to take a bath. Su Meng told everyone about the discovery of the wild boar. The news surprised and delighted everyone.

"Su Meng, do you think we can catch wild boars?" Du Jiayue chatted with Su Meng while preparing the ingredients, her small face was full of longing: "I heard that wild boars are fierce, but if we catch If you get a wild boar, you won't have to worry about food for a long time!"

"There are not so many containers of pork, and our shelter is too simple and unsafe. If a large amount of meat is stored, the smell of blood will attract many carnivorous animals, such as bears."

Su Meng looked at Du Jiayue amusedly, and quickly knit the rope with her hands.

They used up the rope too quickly, it seems that they have to go back to pick up more bark tomorrow.

Weaving bark into a rope is actually very simple, that is, tear the inner bark into thin strips, then dry it slightly, twist it into a double-strand rope, twist each strand clockwise, and then twist the two strands of bark counterclockwise Intertwine so the bark cannot unravel.

"Su Meng, do we need a lot of rope?" Du Jiayue asked a little puzzled. She can also twist hemp rope, and she twisted most of the rope.

"Yes, it needs a lot. I plan to use bamboo to draw the water from the pool, which will be much more convenient." Su Meng answered every question.

The firelight made her already beautiful face softer and more charming, and Du Jiayue felt that she would be dumbfounded as a woman.

"Hey, Su Meng, you made a mistake." Du Jiayue quickly came to her senses, and found that Su Meng's weaving technique was wrong, so she pointed it out without thinking too much.

She remembered that Su Meng taught Su Xiang, Zhang Lin, and Bo Jing to weave rope last night by tearing the inner layer of the bark, that is, the bast part, into long strips of similar size, and then dividing the long bast strip into three strands for weaving. It's like a girl braiding braids.

"It's not wrong, I'm making a sling." Su Meng explained, she signed in this morning and got a shooting experience package. Although she is a beginner, if she wants to do something like a sling, she should still have accuracy, right?
"This kind of bark is tough and durable, very suitable for making slings, and slings are easy to make and easy to carry, and there are no parts that can be damaged." Su Meng patiently popularized science: "The most important thing is that the ammunition of slings is everywhere. Yes, the shooting range is also comparable to that of a bow and arrow."

Su Meng tied the middle section of the twisted rope into three ropes, took a piece of bark and weaved a pocket on the three ropes, tied one end of the rope into a loop and fixed it on the fingers, and tied the other end into a knot, pinching it with two fingers Hold so you can let go anytime.

A simple sling will do the trick.

"Really?" Du Jiayue looked adoring, she felt that she was about to become a fan of Su Meng.

"Of course it's true. The highest record for slingshot is 505 meters, and the record for bow and arrow is only close to 500 meters." Su Meng rubbed the back of her neck, which was a little sore, and her neck was a little sore from lowering her head for a long time.

"Eh?!" Du Jiayue looked disbelieving: "Didn't that mean that the sling is better than the bow and arrow? How to use it? Is it troublesome? Can you teach me?"

Listening to Du Jiayue's question, Su Meng replied with a bit of a smile: "No, the penetrating power of the sling is not as good as that of a bow and arrow, so you can only shoot some small animals such as pheasants, rabbits, and birds."

"The method of use is very simple, that is, put a stone of suitable size into your pocket, then swing it around the top of your head, aim at the target and then release it. If you want to learn, just practice more. Let me explain first, aiming with a sling is very easy. Difficult to practice."

Du Jiayue rolled her eyes, leaned in front of Su Meng with a flattering face, and said coquettishly: "Su Meng Su Meng, since you choose to make a sling, you must have the secret of aiming, right? Please, teach me give it to me!"

"Actually, the method of aiming is very simple. It is to align the rotation plane with the target to determine the direction of the y-axis, and the timing of letting go determines the direction of the x-axis. Seize the timing, otherwise the stone will be to the right if it is released early, and the stone will be to the left if it is too late." Su Mengyi With a calm face, he began to impart the "secret" calmly.
