Desert Island Survival Diary

Chapter 137 No.80 Four days, get ready!
The bowstring has been finished. I pulled it a few times with both hands. It is very tough and can't be pulled at all.This gave me a new idea.In the past, vines were used to bind the tree trunks of the houses.If you switch to a rope made of this bark in the future, it should be much stronger than vines.Furthermore, vines are less wear-resistant than this composite bark rope.

It's just that the bowstring made of this kind of bark is a bit complicated, a large piece of bark can only get such a little bit.You can only do it slowly when you have more time.The construction of the new house hasn't started yet, so it's not in a hurry.

The bow body was taken out, and the bow string was tied up after a few cuts were made on the two sections of the bow body with a knife. Those notches were to prevent the bow string from slipping.Put the tied end on the ground, and then bend the upper end of the bow with your body.Then quickly tied the bowstring up.

A bow is formed, but the arrow is not yet finished, I can only bend the bow and pull the string for a few times, and the feeling is still very good.Because the bow body is made of small trees, it is very light in weight and the pulling force is not particularly strong. It only takes a little effort to draw the bow to its full capacity.

At the beginning, I was worried that if I draw the bow too full, I am afraid that the bow will be broken directly.But after trying it, I found that it is quite good, the toughness of the bow body is not bad, even after pulling it several times, the bow body only made a click sound, of course it did not break, not even any cracks, it was perfect.

I fumbled the bow body carefully, although it is still a bit rough, but it is a bow made by myself after all, so I am still very satisfied.As long as the arrow is finished, you can go to the rabbit to try the effect.I'm really afraid that this kind of arrow can't even kill a rabbit.

The arrow tails of bows and arrows are easy to find, and the feathers of seabirds can be seen everywhere in the nearby woods, but ordinary hairs are useless, it must be tail hairs or feathers on wings.Because the feathers on the bird's body are tiny fluff.Just tear off the tail and stick rice to the nock to turn it into arrow feathers.

As I said, birds often come down in the woods to find something to eat. For seabirds, the food in the woods is very rich, and insects and fruits can be seen everywhere.It didn't take much time to pick up several suitable seabird feathers.

Tearing, gluing, winding... The twelve bows and arrows were completed in repeated actions.However, when preparing to shoot the first arrow, something went wrong. The two ends of the bow seemed to be out of balance.It should be that the thickness of the two ends of the bow is slightly different to cause this problem.

I trimmed the bow body several times with a knife, and after cutting both ends to the same thickness as possible, I really shot the first arrow.But it was miserable.The arrow that was originally going to shoot at the tree trunk had gone to nowhere, and it was inserted far and obliquely on the ground behind the tree...

All twelve arrows were shot, and none of them hit.Simply drunk!Do you need talent to use bows and arrows?I was only six or seven meters away from this waist-thick tree, and all my shots missed?
Annoyed, I went to pick up all the arrows. In the process of picking up, I accidentally found that one of the arrows was actually nailed to a small tree behind the side of the target tree.And the arrow had pierced through the bark.

This made me interested. I never thought that this kind of arrow would have such great power. damage.Unexpectedly, roasting arrowheads with fire is so effective!
Because the tension of the bow body is not very strong, after practicing for two hours, I didn't feel backache or hand pain. The accuracy of archery has also improved a lot compared to the beginning. In comparison, it was a miracle.Maybe after practicing for a while, the hit rate will be even higher.

Of course, although there are many small animals in the woods, if you use them as a target, you will still feel a little guilty. It is very unwise for me if you don’t know the opponent’s information and one blow cannot kill you.If a critter is as vicious as a honey badger, it's asking for trouble.

On the contrary, if you use rabbits for experiments, not only is there no danger, but if you shoot them, they will turn into food, killing two birds with one stone!

In the morning, in order to transport seawater in a big bucket, I poured out all the fresh water in the bucket, and now I have to refill a bucket of fresh water. By the way, I can go to Rabbit Valley to try the power of bow and arrow while it is still early.

I moved the big bucket to the river and filled it with water. Because of the rain in the past two days, the water was a little cloudy.Fortunately, it was only light rain after all, and the river was not as muddy as it was during the last rainstorm.It should settle down a bit.

I put the bucket filled with water by the river first, and I set off for the Rabbit Valley. Anyway, there is no one here, and no animal will steal my bucket. I can try bow and arrow. After all, I just got it. The joy of seeing something new is no less than wearing new clothes during the New Year when I was a child.

I don't know what's going on recently. There seem to be more and more small insects in the woods. When I walked through the woods before, there would not be so many small flying insects.But now, as soon as he entered the woods, there were several groups of small flying insects rushing towards him.Although small flying insects do not bite people, there are too many small flying insects, too dense, and too small.As long as I take a breath, there will be a lot of flying insects rushing into my nostrils, which is very uncomfortable.

So I had to cover my mouth and nose and move forward. Not only that, but I also had to pay attention to the bugs on the ground. I even saw several giant centipedes!The crimson body, more than 30 centimeters in length, penetrates people endlessly.They were all hiding in the leaves, because I accidentally stepped on the tail of one of the centipedes, which aroused its anger. I saw it turn around and wanted to fight back. Fortunately, I hid quickly.

Centipedes are not uncommon in civilized society, so I have always known that centipedes are poisonous and if bitten by one, it must be very painful.And the centipede here is so huge, if it bites me... I dare not think about it.

……

Although I moved very slowly along the way, I finally came to Rabbit Valley and untied the bow and arrow tied to my back with vines.Then he stared at the rabbit who was grazing with his head down not far ahead.

When I pulled the bowstring, several rabbits seemed to have noticed something unusual and stood up vigilantly. Fortunately, I hid my whole body behind the rock.So they didn't find out.

I have twelve arrows now, but only one chance...

Aim, aim again, let go... The arrow flew towards one of the rabbits with great precision...

But unfortunately, when the arrow was about to hit the rabbit, it noticed it and ran away...

This arrow scared all the rabbits away, and they all hid in the hole. I sighed helplessly, so I had to pick up the arrow first, to see if I could wait for a second chance.

"What is this?" When I was about to pick up the arrow, there was a bloody thing not far from where the bow and arrow fell.

Pick up the scissors you picked up, and pick up that thing...

It turned out to be a small piece of rabbit skin!The blood on it was still crimson and hadn't turned black yet!Obviously, time is not long...

"Who did it?" At this moment, there was a bang in my mind, and only this question remained!
