Reborn Country Overlord

Chapter 11 Bow Making
This news was well-spoken, and this news quickly caused a sensation among the students in the whole school, because the three Wang Ming brothers were also considered famous figures in the school.
The kind that walked sideways, but was beaten by a third-grade child. It can be seen that Zhang Tao must be very powerful, and Zhang Tao is also a student with good grades, so the sensational ability of this kind of news can be seen, and the three brothers Wang Ming The listless look also proved the authenticity of this news.

At this time, all the students in the school knew that Zhang Tao was not only good at reading, but also good at fighting. This made the students in the whole school, no matter whether they were senior or junior, feel even more in awe when they saw Zhang Tao.

Even Wang Zhongqiu, who has always been arrogant in the class relying on his family relationship, looked at Zhang Tao with more scruples when he knew that Zhang Tao beat up the three brothers in their village by himself. My good little friend actually has such a skill.

Kungfu, the legendary martial arts, you know that the most popular movie at this time is martial arts TV, how many teenagers have such a dream of being a hero in the world.
It's a pity that what they lack most is martial arts, so at this time their yearning enthusiasm for people with martial arts can completely melt the ice, and they look at Zhang Tao with fear and admiration in their eyes.

Zhang Tao didn't feel much about these, but this effect was what he wanted.If you want to be a village tyrant, you have to be frightened. Fear starts from a baby.

Let the whole school know that I can fight, and let them all be afraid of me. In the future, as long as I get angry, these guys will be respectful when they grow up and see their instincts. That is the best policy.So the spread of this news represented the village tyrant's first step, and he had already begun to take it.

Because the final exam is going to be tomorrow, all the students will rest in the afternoon to prepare for the exam, and at the same time, the teacher will arrange for the senior students to rearrange the desks in the classroom.So there is not much content in today's class, and the teacher will not let all the students recite the text.

At the last class in the morning, the head teacher will come over and send out the student ID number of each student, because their exams here are unified in the city, and the invigilators will be replaced by teachers from other schools, and their school Many teachers will also be dispatched to other schools to invigilate the exam, so each student has a unified student number, which must be filled in on the test paper.

Under this kind of examination, the position of the students will also change, instead of sitting in a row with two people as it is now.At that time, they will be separated one by one, and they will be seated according to the announced student number.

The grades at this time are very important. It is related to whether you can get a certificate, whether you can upgrade to get a red scarf, and it is also related to whether you will get a spanking when you go home, whether you will be praised during the Chinese New Year and receive more red envelopes. .So at this time, students still attach great importance to grades, and so do teachers and parents.

As soon as Zhang Tao received his test number and returned to his seat, all the brats around him came to ask him for his test number.

Although they know that the exam is very strict and they want to copy it hard, but every semester there are always a few who commit crimes against the wind, or they are purely thinking of being able to sit closer to Zhang Tao and gain some comfort.

Zhang Tao smiled and immediately said his test number. Those who sat with him were very happy, but those who didn't sat with him felt a little frustrated, and hurriedly flipped through the books and went to sharpen their guns.

At this time, the third grade of elementary schools in the countryside only took two exams, Chinese and mathematics.It will take a few years to take the test of nature, history, ideology and morality, and it is still simple now, and the test can be completed in one day.Chinese in the morning and mathematics in the afternoon.

When Zhang Tao took the Chinese test, he only sat in the classroom for more than half an hour, and then ran away early regardless of the stern eyes of the patrolling Chinese teacher. My own teacher will take care of it, and each school will keep one or two teachers in their own school to inspect and entertain the teachers who come to invigilate the exam.

In the eyes of the Chinese teacher, after finishing the exam, they should carefully check their test papers several times before leaving the exam room. Such students are good students, and maybe they can get more points after checking.

It's a pity that Zhang Tao didn't have this concept at all. It would be silly to sit in the classroom in such a cold weather. He just checked such a simple question, and he can cook lunch in advance when he goes back.

The math test in the afternoon was the same, Zhang Tao still ran ahead of time after checking it all over. Although the Chinese teacher was still patrolling the test, he took the time to threaten Zhang Tao.
"Why are you running so early? Let me tell you, if your grades drop in the final exam this time, I have to ask your mother to come to school. It's too shameful. I will warn you if you run so fast in the morning. In the afternoon You come again."

Zhang Tao didn't seem to hear it, and when the Chinese teacher didn't pay attention, he ran away. The Chinese teacher was so angry that he probably secretly planned to settle the account with Zhang Tao when he got the report card. up.

Their teachers at this time also need to look at the students' grades. If the average score of all the students in the class ranks high in the school district, they will be honored as teachers, and there will be some practical rewards, so he will treat the students. Grades matter.

To say how responsible the teachers in their school are to the students, Zhang Tao never felt it.He has been in elementary school for six years, junior high school for three years, and high school for two years. He met a teacher who was responsible for the students. He met him in the sixth grade of elementary school. Unfortunately, he failed that teacher's expectations. As for the other teachers Zhang Tao can only hehe.

It was quite early when Zhang Tao returned home, and there was no TV to watch at this time.After being bored in the room, he simply found some old bamboo stems dried in the shade from the room, and prepared to make a bow and arrow by himself.

This plan has been in place for a long time, so he also prepared the old bamboo pole in advance. He directly cut it from the old bamboo that has grown for several years in the bamboo forest in the village. Now that the exam is over, he just has time to make a bow.

What Zhang Tao plans to make is a simple compound bow. Zhang Tao made this kind of bow and arrow by himself in his previous life after he was discharged from the army. He stayed at home for a while and felt bored so he made one.If the craftsmanship and materials are excellent, the bow he makes can reach a range of 200 meters.

But now Zhang Tao doesn't need such a long range. He is satisfied with a precise range of 100 meters and lethality, because he has limited materials.Remove the bamboo branches that have been taken out, and then open the knife from the top, split them in half, cut them flat again, and then remove some details, and cut the bamboo slices into a few well-proportioned and beautiful pieces.

Then pick a piece out, and narrow the middle end of the bamboo piece, which is used as a handle.Take another bamboo board that is the same width as the tapering part but slightly longer, and do the same tapering treatment, and superimpose on both sides, and here you will use glue to stick the rope wrapped around it to prevent deformation of the handle.

Time passed quickly in Zhang Tao's busy schedule, and it started to get dark in a blink of an eye. Zhang Tao looked at the sky and immediately stopped what he was doing.Anyway, it is impossible for him to make this bow today. After that time, the bamboo pieces will have to be bent by fire and wrapped with ropes. In addition, it is not easy to make arrow shafts and arrowheads. It may take a long time. time will do.

And the time for the second snow is not so fast, it probably won't come until after I receive the report card, so I am not in a hurry.After packing up the things he had made, Zhang Tao started his daily life after school, fetching water, feeding the chickens, feeding the pigs, taking a bath with hot water and cooking.

But these days, as long as Zhang Yong and Zhang Yan come back, they will do some of these things separately. It is not entirely Zhang Tao who is busy all by himself. This makes Zhang Tao's mother feel very happy, and her children are finally sensible. .

The day after the final exam was over, Zhang Tao didn’t have to go to school the next day. Zhang Tao still got up early as usual, ran and exercised, then cleaned the floor, cooked, and helped the family cook porridge for the family—Zhang Tao and his family always cooked porridge in the morning .
Then take out most of the half-cooked rice and keep it for lunch after steaming. The rest of the rice can be boiled directly into porridge, or put some vegetables, pumpkin, sweet potato and beans, and boil it into various porridges for breakfast. Zhang Tao Everyone in my family only likes to eat pickles with white porridge, so Zhang Tao only boiled white porridge.

Zhang Yong and Zhang Yan took advantage of the hard-won winter vacation to sleep soundly. In this kind of weather, it was much warmer than lying in bed, but it was wet and cold outside.And there are not many things to be busy at home during this time, except for some things in the soil and pulling pigweed, so they can rest assured that they can sleep in for a while.

"It's winter vacation and you still get up so early? Didn't you like to sleep in like them before?" Zhang Cuihua didn't expect her youngest son to wake up so early during the winter vacation. She was a little surprised. When she woke up, Zhang Tao had already woken up. I have come back from exercising outside, and I have boiled the hot water for washing my face in the morning, and now I am planting rice to cook porridge.

Zhang Tao didn't explain either. After finishing his daily routine, he plunged into his homemade bow and arrow.All the bamboo slices cut yesterday were soaked by him in tung oil and dried. This was to prevent the bamboo slices from regaining moisture and affecting the effect of the bow and arrow.

He used the kind of thin wire with insulation for the rope to tie the bow, the DC wire used to detonate the detonator in the mine.The bow string is made of wound thick fishing line, which is very elastic. This kind of line is the most suitable thing for making strings in Zhang Tao's hands.

The arrow shafts are the shade-dried tea tree shafts here, a kind of hard wood with good toughness. Zhang Tao cuts them straight and round, and then puts iron arrowheads on them—the arrowheads are steel bars the size of Zhang Tao’s own fingers. It is polished and then put on the arrow shaft with a bamboo tube.

These are all careful work and need patience. It took Zhang Tao more than a day to make [-] arrow shafts.
