Zhang Liang worked quickly. Although he was missing an arm, he was faster than Zhang Mancang.
Qin Feng handed over the work of cutting branches and making the crossbow body to Zhang Liang.
Zhang Mancang was meticulous, so Qin Feng handed over the work that required detailed carving to him.
While the Zhang brothers were making crossbows, Qin Feng called Guan Hanyan, Tang Dongdong, and Runniang together, intending to teach them how to use crossbows.
If any accidents happened in the future, they would more or less have some ability to protect themselves.
Even if there were no accidents, the second-in-charge of Cat Mountain would never discover Baldy's death in his life. There was no harm in learning more skills.
In this era, not many people liked girls who wielded knives and guns.
He thought that they would reject him, but as soon as Qin Feng said his plan, Tang Dongdong immediately agreed.
His expression was even a little impatient.
Guan Hanyan was still traumatized by what happened that night. She hesitated for a moment before nodding her head.
Runniang didn't have any opinions. Seeing that Tang Dongdong and Guan Hanyan had agreed, she could only nod.
Since there was only one spinning wheel, the three of them discussed and decided to take turns spinning. The remaining two would follow Qin Feng to learn the crossbow when they were not spinning.
Qin Feng asked Man Cang to find a wooden board the size of a washbasin. He drew a black dot in the center and hung it in the courtyard as a target.
It wasn't difficult to learn the crossbow, the only troublesome thing was to string it.
An ordinary woman would not be able to pull such a heavy bowstring.
However, Qin Feng's crossbow was equipped with a small capstan. Although the rewinding speed was slow, it was very energy-saving. Even Little E could twist it.
It only took half a day for the three girls to learn the basic usage of the crossbow. Tang Dongdong's results were the best, with a 50% hit rate. As she became more and more familiar with it, her results continued to improve.
Under the temptation of changing the lives of their families, the Zhang brothers worked very hard.
Every day, she would come before dawn and work until eight or nine o'clock at night, unwilling to go home.
With the two brothers 'concerted efforts, it only took them two days to make a crossbow that could be loaded with chest pressure.
Knowing that it was not easy for Zhang Liang to place arrows with one hand, Qin Feng even put the arrow box on this new crossbow.
Zhang Liang took the new crossbow excitedly. He held the handle with his remaining right arm and pressed it against his chest. With a click, the crossbow was activated.
Pulling the trigger, the arrow hit the target more than 20 meters away.
He pushed his chest and raised his hand.
Another arrow appeared on the target!
In just a few seconds, all five arrows in the quiver flew out.
Qin Feng ran over to take a look and couldn't help but give Zhang Liang a thumbs up!
Not only did all five arrows hit the target, but three of them were also nailed to a small black spot in the center!
Qin Feng couldn't help but admire this result.
Guan Hanyan, Tang Dongdong, and Runniang also cheered for Zhang Liang's archery skills.
After two days of practice, they were already very familiar with the crossbow. Tang Dongdong's hit rate from 20 meters away had reached more than 90%. He was learning very quickly.
However, even Tang Dongdong would need at least three minutes to finish shooting all five arrows, and the chance of hitting the target would be reduced.
This was the difference between a veteran and a rookie.
"Brother Liang is too powerful. If we were enemies with him, we probably wouldn't even have the chance to shoot an arrow before we would be killed by Brother Liang."
Tang Dongdong praised.
"You've only been learning for a few days and you're already competing with Brother Liang?"
"I heard from Tie Zi that Brother Liang was a sharpshooter in the army. If he hadn't lost an arm, perhaps a general would have appeared in our Haijiao Village," said Qin Feng.
" You flatter me. How am I a sharpshooter?"
Zhang Liang smiled and said," Back then, I saw a real expert. He could shoot nine arrows in two breaths. All of them hit the copper coin hole a hundred steps away."
"I'm afraid such a person is one in ten thousand. I can't compare to them."
"Brother Liang, your archery skills are more than enough to feed a family," said Qin Feng with a smile.
"Feng Zi, I want to try entering the mountain tomorrow, so I won't be coming over to help."
Zhang Liang said with embarrassment.
"It's fine. Anyway, the bow you've made is enough to fill the warehouse for a few days."
Qin Feng smiled and said," We're not sure if there are still tigers in the back mountain. Be careful when you enter the mountain. It's okay if you can't get anything. You can go again in the future."
"I know."
Zhang Liang nodded and left happily with the crossbow.
He really liked this crossbow. That night, he did not let go of it even when he went to bed.
The next morning, they entered the mountain before dawn.
He wandered around the mountains for a whole day and didn't return even when it was dark.
Just as Lin Yunfang was so anxious that she came to look for Qin Feng in the mountains, Zhang Liang returned.
There were two wild rabbits in the sack on his back.
As for Zhang Clan, this was already a great achievement. Those women of Zhang Clan had been laughing so hard that their eyes almost couldn't be seen.
Zhang Liang's sister, Zhang Xiaohua, was drooling at the rabbit.
Actually, after Qin Feng gave Zhang Liang a red packet, the Zhang family's life had been much better.
Now, he could already eat two meals a day.
However, Zhang Xiaohua was still growing. What could two wild vegetable congee a day do? He always felt hungry and wanted to pick up the grass roots on the ground to chew.
Now, big brother could go hunting. He would never have to go hungry again.
Brother Liang, you've been busy for the whole day. How come you only managed to hunt two rabbits?"
Qin Feng pulled Zhang Liang aside and asked.
In his opinion, with Zhang Liang's archery skills and skills, it was too little for him to only kill two rabbits in a day.
" Don't mention it. I wandered around the back of the mountain for the whole morning, but I didn't see a single strand of rabbit hair. After noon, I went into the old forest."
" There are quite a lot of rabbits in the old forest," said Zhang Liang." Unfortunately, it's too late. I came back after hunting two."
" It seems that there shouldn't be a second tiger in the back mountain."
Qin Feng nodded.
The main reason why he was able to hunt so many rabbits in the middle of the afternoon was that the tiger had driven all the rabbits in the old forest to the back of the mountain.
Now that the tiger was killed by Qin Feng, the rabbits should return to the old forest.
"Hanyan, here!"
Zhang Liang picked up the bigger rabbit from the ground and handed it to Guan Hanyan.
"Brother Liang, what are you doing?"
Guan Hanyan asked.
"I told Feng Zi that if he makes a bow that I can use, I will give him half of the things I get in the future."
Zhang Liang explained.
The ancients paid attention to repaying a drop of water with a spring. Zhang's mother and Lin Yunfang also agreed.
Only Zhang Xiaohua looked at the rabbit with tears streaming down her face.
Qin Feng knew the principle of using rice to raise kindness and using rice to raise hatred.
He had already given the Zhang Clan a lot of help. If he continued to help them without limit, the Zhang Clan might become dependent on him or take it for granted.
Since Zhang Liang had said so, Qin Feng didn't stand on ceremony. He nodded and gestured for Guan Hanyan to take the rabbit.
