The villagers of Qili Village have taken back all the beans in the field one after another. They are fighting against the sky recently. They go out early every morning to look at the sky. When they see the morning glow, they take out the wheat and beans to dry. As long as there are big dark clouds floating in the sky , No matter where people are, they have to run back to collect beans and wheat.
The rest of the leisure time is to cut the hemp in the field and cook it.
Old Zhou had a lot of family members, and after helping Zhou Hu clean up the beans, they didn't have anything particularly important to do.
Xiaoqian soaked the beans, and made two boards of tofu every morning for Zhou Zhoulang to take to the county seat.
When the tofu is made, the family will get up.
Then the couple went back to sleep for a while, and didn't get up until the school had dinner.
And Tuesday Lang still carries the burden to sell vegetables, tofu and wild mushrooms in the county town every day.
There has been a lot of rain recently, and there will always be such a rain one day or the next day, and wild mushrooms in the mountains have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
Zhou Zhoulang led his two younger brothers and a group of nephews and nieces up the mountain every day to look for wild mushrooms, and Poria cocos by the way.
But I don't know if their luck is not as good as Manbao's. They haven't harvested anything for a few days, so they can only wait for Manbao to go up the mountain with them when he is free after school.
But Manbao is also very busy recently, not only because Mr. Zhuang has assigned a lot of homework, but also because Bai Shanbao is about to leave.
Man Bao was reluctant to let go, and went to Bai's house to read with him every day after school, discussing various countermeasures after he returned to Longzhou.
Of course, Manbao also gave Bai Shanbao a pair of slingshots for self-defense.
Bai Shanbao's former classmates gave her a very bad impression. They actually liked to fight so much, and they still used to bully the few in group fights.
"You can't even beat me. There are so many of them, I think it's very difficult for you to beat them," Man Bao said as he stuffed the slingshot into his hand: "So we don't fight melee, we can engage in long-range attacks. In the future you Hit people with this slingshot."
Bai Shanbao looked at it, it was different from the slingshot they usually play, it was much more delicate in comparison.
Most importantly, he had never seen a bowstring.
In the past, the bows made by Datou were made of long hair mixed with some miscellaneous hair, and the thick cloth that adults used to make shoe soles was tied in the middle.
A well-made slingshot is very painful to hit, but most of them can't shoot very far because the bowstring is not elastic enough.
Bai Shanbao, who has already made two sets of slingshots, knows this point best.
But now the slingshot that Man Bao gave him is not only well-polished, but also the bowstring he has never seen before, and it can be pulled out a long way with just a slight pull back, and with a little more force, He almost grasped the bowed right hand and stretched it to the front.
Man Bao excitedly picked up a stone from the ground and gave it to him.
Bai Shanbao held it in his hand, pulled it hard, and then let go, the stone flew out, and shot through the window with a "bang".
The two children stayed for a while.
There was a burst of violent shouting in the room, "Which bastard smashed my window with a stone?"
The two children turned around and ran. After a while, the door opened, and a mother with a round waist rushed out, pinching her waist and scolding, "Who threw stones in there!"
Seeing that no one answered, she said angrily: "Don't let me catch you, or I'll peel your skin..."
The two turned the corner and ran away, then hid in the corner and looked into the yard, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Mother Fang seems to be getting fat again."
Bai Shanbao withdrew his little head, nodded and said: "My mother is picky eater, and mother Fang eats all the things she doesn't like. It's no wonder she's not fat."
Bai Shanbao looked down at the slingshot in his hand and exclaimed, "This is really powerful, how did you do it?"
"I didn't make it, it was given by my friend." Man Bao took out another pair from his cloth bag, and whispered: "I have a pair too, so don't lose it, I won't lose it if I lose it." Give mine to yours."
"Never lose it!" Bai Shanbao was very curious, "Who is your friend, and what is this bowstring made of?"
"He said it was P2 material, we don't have it here anyway, so don't worry about it." These two slingshots were given to her by Mo Congjun, a doctor of medicine.
Ever since she wanted to cooperate with Manbao, the doctor of medicine has been very kind to her. Since she is kind, she can't just talk about medicine in addition to attending classes. She has to establish a personal relationship so that they can communicate with each other in the future.
For example, if he wants to study some pathogens in their world, he will need her to help collect them.
Man Bao is still a child, of course she is happy when others treat her well, and if she has any troubles, she will naturally speak out under the temptation of the other party.
For example, a good friend of hers is going on a long trip, and there are many bad guys in the distance who will bully him, so she wants to buy some weapons for his self-defense, but when she searches the mall, she finds that the cheapest one is an electric shock baton.
It's still a wolf-proof weapon, and the higher-end ones can't even be found in the mall.
In fact, she just wanted to buy a slingshot.
But people in the future don't seem to play with slingshots, and they don't even have such toys.
Keke told Manbao that in the future human cubs will play with flying cars, flying skateboards and small mechs.
Because mechs are rampant, of course there are no such small weapons to play with in hands.
In the end, after Manbao provided the drawings and principles, the doctor of medicine made two by hand and sent them to Manbao.
Because the technological content of the slingshot is not high, it is also owned by this era, so the encyclopedia did not collect taxes and let it go directly.
Man Bao tried it secretly by himself, but he didn't pull it to the maximum force, and he didn't shoot at the object. He just thought the bowstring was easy to pull, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful.
The two children couldn't help sighing at the same time, "No wonder the slingshot is listed as a hidden weapon in the book. It turns out that a well-made slingshot is so powerful."
With the weapon, Bai Shanbao was full of confidence, stuffed it into his arms and said: "Don't worry, I will not be bullied if I have this."
"Okay! By the way, remember not to shoot in people's eyes."
"Don't worry, I won't."
Bai Shanbao reluctantly took Man Bao's hand and said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, will you come see me off tomorrow?"
"When are you leaving? I'll ask for leave to see you off!"
"Then there is no need to ask for leave. Grandma said that we have to go out earlier than usual for school, and stop for an hour or two at noon to avoid the scorching sun."
"Then I'll get up early tomorrow to see you off. Don't forget me. Remember to see more interesting and delicious things on the way. Come back and tell me. I'll eat it when I go out."
"No problem, I'll still write to you."
"Wow, that's really great!" Man Bao thought for a while and said again: "If it can't be delivered to the village, I will send it to the county magistrate Fu's house, and I will tell my second sister Fu to receive the letter for me when the time comes. Go to the city and bring it back."
"No, I'll write to you when I write to Bai Er, and I'll have my servant deliver it directly to your home."
