Chapter 12 Ancestral Craft

You can't give up on the places you have searched yesterday. Who can guarantee that there will be no places yesterday, and there will be no places today.But the probability of the edge of the forest is smaller.The murderer has a sense of superiority only in the forest, and will only drive people to the depths of the forest, and will not go back to the edge.If Zhang Qingtao walked towards the edge of the forest, the murderer would definitely try to change his goal.But it won't be in the very depths of the forest. The forest is still very dangerous, and many of them are unexplored places. The murderer will not put his life in it for fun.So the scope of today's search and rescue is within the middle range.

Last night, Hu Xue processed the satellite images of the forest and marked the area to be searched today.Even the reduced range is very large.And not only looking for Zhang Qingtao, but also meeting lone travelers or expeditions to persuade them to leave the forest as soon as possible, and we can't tell them what happened.

Zhang Chao carried a bow and arrow and followed Zhang Zhiguo in the forest to continue the search and rescue.From time to time, I make gestures, and when I see a rabbit, I feel itchy and want to try the power of the bow and arrow and my own skills.Repeatedly stopped by Zhang Zhiguo, Zhang Zhiguo looked at Zhang Chao and said helplessly, now is not the time.The main task now is to search and rescue, let's talk about hunting or something later.Although Zhang Chao was not reconciled, he also knew what was the most important thing now, so he didn't continue to hunt, but he didn't put down his bow and arrow either.

Zhou Zheng led the search and rescue team ahead and found that Zhang Zhiguo and Zhang Chao were behind, so he came back to see what happened to them and if they found anything.Then I found that Zhang Chao was gesticulating with a bow and arrow.When he set off in the morning, Zhou Zheng saw Zhang Chao's bow and arrow.I planned to ask about the situation, but because I didn't know Zhang Chao well, I gave up.Looking at Zhang Chao's gestures now, Zhou Zheng is also very itchy. Zhou Zheng, who often went hunting in the mountains when he was a child, has a different emotion for bows and arrows. "This is yours, can you lend me a look?" Zhou Zheng walked up to Zhang Chao and said to him. "Hey, are you interested too?" Zhang Chao was surprised that someone would be as interested in cold weapons as he was.So he generously handed the bow to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng shook the bowstring in his hand, and then pulled the bowstring to test its hardness. "It's okay. The ones produced by the factory are pretty good, and they're top-notch. But it's okay to hold and play with. If you really use it, it's still too soft. It's probably 0-300 meters." Zhou Zheng returned the bow to Zhang Chao and made an evaluation by the way. "Hehe, it looks like you understand quite well." Zhang Chao was very interested in Zhou Zheng.There are very few people who can discuss bows and arrows with him now.

"Of course, I'm an expert. I used it a lot when I was a child." Zhou Zheng said proudly.The two quickly narrowed the distance, chatting while following the team to search. "Yes, that's really great. I'm a hardcore enthusiast. I've collected a lot of information. I'm still doing training in the club, and now I can draw a harder bow. What about you?" Zhang Chao said excitedly .

"I used it when I was hunting in the woods with my grandfather. I haven't used it for a long time. I don't know how heavy the bow can be. But what I can tell you is that the ones that can be bought on the market are not good. , the best ones are always made by folks. The ones in the club are for entertainment, and you can’t see the ones that are actually on the battlefield and hunting.”

"You said you hunted when you were a child, so you should have some at home, but why haven't you used them for a long time?" Zhang Chao asked puzzled. "Ah, the bow needs to be maintained regularly, and there is a time limit. After a long time, it won't work. Since my grandfather left, I don't have the mood to maintain it. In addition, the mountains are closed to cultivate forests and hunting is not allowed. The bow has no use. So I won’t do it any more.” Zhou Zheng said with a sigh, partly out of nostalgia for his grandfather’s passing and partly out of resignation for Gong’s fading out of the stage of history and towards his demise.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng seemed to be in a low mood, Zhang Chao guessed that it might have caused Zhou Zheng's sadness, so he stopped asking.Seeing that Zhang Chao was also silent, Zhou Zheng said with a smile, "Don't let me ruin your good mood. If I have time, I will make you a good bow and give it to you. It is rare to meet someone who is so interested in bows." "You Does that mean you can make bows yourself? Isn’t this a very technical thing?” Zhang Chao looked at Zhou Zheng and asked in disbelief. "Actually, there's nothing else. It's just the ancestral handicraft. Basically, the old people in the village can do it. It's just that each family has different tricks, so what they do is different. There is also the problem of material selection." Zhou Zheng said very easily. , which appears to be true.Zhang Chao immediately said: "Then it's settled, you must make one for me, and I won't learn the craftsmanship passed down from your family." Hunting skills.

At noon, Zhang Chao pestered Zhang Zhiguo to hunt a rabbit for a tooth sacrifice.Zhang Zhiguo had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, rabbits are not protected animals.Zhou Zizai volunteered to help Zhang Chao lead the way, but he actually wanted to have fun.The two left the lunch break team with bow and quiver to hunt rabbits.Fortunately, I soon saw a fat big white rabbit grazing leisurely.Zhang Chao was about to shoot an arrow with his bow, but Zhou Zheng stopped him. "Hunting is not the same as shooting a target. The prey can move. We need to find a position where we can see its movement clearly, and observe it carefully before we start." Zhou Zheng led Zhang Chao around behind the rabbit.Find a commanding height to ambush, so that the rabbit will not find out.

The rabbit is probably used to living a life without crisis, so he didn't notice it at all.Zhang Chao glanced at Zhou Zheng, "How is it now? Can we do it?" Zhou Zheng looked at the surrounding environment and measured the wind direction, "It's ok, the rabbits here are not so shrewd." Zhang Chao picked it up immediately. The bow aimed at the rabbit and shot an arrow.Unfortunately, the head was not accurate enough, and the shot landed at the foot of the rabbit.The rabbit was frightened and ran away quickly. "It's okay, there are still a lot of rabbits here, and we can see them again in a while." Zhou Zheng comforted the discouraged Zhang Chao.

Sure enough, as Zhou Zheng expected, another one bigger than the previous one appeared after a while.This time Zhang Chao gave the bow to Zhou Zheng, "Come this time, let me see how you do it." Zhou Zheng picked up the bow without hesitation and got used to it, and shot the rabbit in the eye with an arrow.The rabbit fell down and died without even struggling. "It's amazing, it's actually the eyes." Zhang Chao admired from the bottom of his heart.But I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. After all, men are not willing to admit defeat in this kind of thing. Now they are defeated by others, and they still lose completely. I can't accept it.

"It's okay, after all, it's a skill passed down from family. There is still a big difference between indoor target shooting and outdoor hunting. There are more things to pay attention to." Zhou Zheng was not very proud either, and said in a normal tone, but his psychology was not. There is no meaning of performance.Of course, Zhang Chao would not understand what he was thinking.If you understand what might happen, the most unacceptable thing for a man is to be challenged, especially for a combative person like Zhang Chao.

The two packed up the rabbits by the river. Zhou was born as a hunter and was very good at handling prey. Although Zhang Chao had never done it, he had also killed chickens and plucked their feathers.Seeing that the rabbit's skin was intact, Zhang Chao discussed with Zhou Zheng that he wanted to keep it. After all, it was Zhou Zheng's prey.Zhou Zheng generously gave the fur to Zhang Chao.Such a big skin must be useless, I really don't know what Zhang Chao is going to do.
