Live broadcast: I retired at the age of 20 and returned to the village to retire.

Chapter 40 Make bows and arrows and go hunting in the mountains!

Yang Mi, who had eaten and drank enough, returned to the program set and saw that the other guests had already sifted the rice grains with various tools borrowed from the villagers.

"Sister Mi, why are you here so late?" Reba was facing the door. When she saw Yang Mi, she was the first to tease.

"Yeah, yeah, we've all finished lunch, but we found out that Sister Mi hasn't come back yet. This is simply a loan that can never be returned..." Sister Chaoyue also turned around and said with a smile.

"Yeah, we thought we were borrowing a tool, but we lost a big living person like you!" Sha Yi joked now.

Received everyone's teasing in her ears, Yang Mi's ears burned a bit when she thought of following Ye Xuan to dig for loaches and catch eels, forgetting about the program team's tasks.

Meeting everyone's gazes, Yang Mi rarely blushed at this moment and inadvertently avoided everyone's eyes.

"Oh, I just followed Ye Xuan and caught some loaches and eels..."

When Yang Mi mentioned loaches and eels, the curve of Yang Mi's mouth deepened, and the topic shifted to the bucket she brought.

"I brought some here for everyone to try tonight. Ye Xuan and I caught them ourselves..."

"Hey! I want to go to all of them. When I was a child, I often caught loaches by the river..." Xiao Yueyue poked his head and couldn't help but think of his experience of often fishing in the river and catching loaches.

Hua Chenyu glanced at it and snorted softly, but said nothing to offend the scenery.

After all, after being beaten by his agent, he has learned to be smart now.

Seeing all the guests enthusiastically asking about the process of catching loaches and eels, even Director Yang joined the conversation and casually mentioned the barrage that had just hit the screen one after another.

"Mimi, just now netizens said that you and Ye Xuan are in a relationship?"

As soon as Director Yang said these casual words, Yang Mi, who was still showing everyone how to catch loaches, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

What does your husband look like? !
What kind of wife looks like?
Couple what?
The words "husband and wife" mentioned by Director Yang were like a scrolling barrage that flashed across the screen in Yang Mi's mind.

Gradually, Yang Mi's ears became redder and redder, and a thin layer of red spread from her face to her neck.

Everyone heard Yang Mi, who had always been independent and generous, show a rare expression of embarrassment and murmured.

"What are all the netizens talking nonsense about..."

He was clearly denying it, but his voice was soft and light, as if he was acquiescing.

Looking at this scene, netizens refreshed their screens even faster.

"I'm so sorry that this couple must be locked up!"

"Isn't this like a young couple who were vaguely in love, and someone else broke the window paper, but the person involved was embarrassed to say it?!"

"The description of the man upstairs is absolutely perfect! I am in love with this pair of CPs!"

……

On the other side, Ye Xuan naturally didn't know that netizens had secretly teased him and Yang Mi about their relationship. At this moment, he had just woken up from his nap.

I stretched myself, took a bucket of cold water from the well in the yard, and washed my face. It was a great pleasure.

After going around his storage room, Ye Xuan also began to take stock of the inventory at home.

Coupled with the newly harvested rice, the rice grain is definitely enough.

The vegetables in the small yard are growing vigorously, so there is no need to worry about the vegetables at all.

Only meat is in urgent need.

In this case, it's time to go up the mountain again.

However, before hunting, Ye Xuan began to collect his tools.

If you want to hunt, a good tool is always indispensable.

Ye Xuan already has a formed idea in his mind.

He wanted to make a bow and arrow.

After all, bows and arrows were one of the most effective long-range weapons for individual soldiers in ancient times, and they were also a nightmare on the battlefield in the cold weapon era.As long as he has a handy bow and arrow in his hand, there will be no enemies in the entire mountain!

With this thought in his mind, Ye Xuan quickly put on his backpack, strode into the back mountain, and headed straight for the bamboo forest.

With the blessing of the system in his mind, Ye Xuan was completely clear about the process of making bows and arrows.

When it comes to making bows and arrows, there is no more suitable material than bamboo.

The bamboos of the deep mountain old bamboo are tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves, and are dark green in color. They give people a calm and ancient feeling.

These bamboos have thick walls and a hard texture, making them the perfect material for making bows and arrows.

After taking a fancy to a piece of bamboo that was about the same width as his palm, he judged that the bamboo was at least over ten years old. Ye Xuan nodded with satisfaction.

"That's it!"

After selecting the bamboo, Ye Xuan quickly chopped it down.

After tapping the surface of the bamboo, he judged that the bamboo in the middle was of the best quality and least likely to suffer from insect infestation. Ye Xuan pressed the bamboo with one hand and took out the small hand saw he brought from his backpack with one hand, and quickly sawed out a bamboo section about the width of an arm.

He used a machete to split the bamboo tube one by one, and the fragrance of bamboo came out. Ye Xuan continued to use a chisel to clean the internal bamboo joints.

With the support of the system, every chop Ye Xuan made was just right. It looked natural, with no unnecessary movements at all!
After polishing the bamboo to the length of the long bow, Ye Xuan quickly built a fire and roasted the surface of the bamboo.

On the one hand, it is used to enhance the elasticity of the bow, and on the other hand, it also fixes the shape of the bow.

Not long after, Ye Xuan continued to look for materials to make bow strings.

Ye Xuan took a fancy to a century-old camellia tree, and peeled off the bark in three strokes.

The bark of many trees is rich in coarse fibers and is an excellent material for making bowstrings.

After removing the useless tangerine peel on the surface and separating out the tough inner layer of bark, Ye Xuan began to break the inner layers of bark into thin ropes one by one and put them on the firewood to dry.

When the bark dries, the original hemp rope-like bark continues to shrink, and after a while it turns into a brown-yellow thread.

After testing the firmness of the bark, Ye Xuan raised the corners of his mouth when he saw that the bark kept pulling no matter how hard it was pulled.

"Not bad!"

Putting the bark on his calf and rubbing it back and forth, Ye Xuan quickly got a hemp rope as long as a long bow.

After burning off the excess length with charcoal fire, a bow string that can be pulled continuously by an ox is freshly baked.

After finishing the bow string, Ye Xuan continued to cut grooves on both sides of the bow to facilitate fixing the bow string.

With the bowstring fixed in place and the tightness adjusted, a satisfactory longbow is born.

The bow string has been successfully drawn, so the next step is the bow and arrow.

Picking up the extra moso bamboo material just now, Ye Xuan cut out thin bamboo sections about half a meter long.

After opening the edges several times, Ye Xuan continued to put the bamboo into the charcoal fire and began to roast it.

Firstly, it is to make the bamboo stronger, and secondly, it is also to fix the shape.

After roasting for a few minutes, Ye Xuan gradually sharpened the edges of each bamboo arrow and continued to put the tips into the charcoal fire to bake them hard.

After completing the making of the tips of the bamboo arrows, Ye Xuan made a slit at the other end of each bamboo arrow and inserted brown leaves to serve as arrow feathers.

The arrow feathers were fixed one by one with the roasted bark rope, and all the bamboo arrows were completed one by one.

"It's almost there..."

After muttering to himself, Ye Xuan glanced at the bamboo tube on the ground and immediately bent down to pick it up.

After stuffing all the bamboo swords into bamboo tubes to serve as arrow pots, Ye Xuan picked up the completed long bow again.

Now that the bow is complete and everything is in place, all that's left is to hunt!
