The most arrogant in history

Chapter 15 A tiger enters the village.

Qin Chou just ran over, waving his hunting fork and shouting, "Oh no! Yan Liuhai's mother has been dragged away by a tiger at the entrance of the village!"

"Ah, a tiger has entered the village?"

Dai Xi was so scared that she trembled and hugged Ye Kun's waist.

"Sister-in-law, go get my crossbow!"

Ye Kun was also shocked, but quickly calmed down.

In fact, this short crossbow is basically useless against tigers. It is only used to boost courage.

The last time, the tiger was killed by Ye Kun by mistake.

Ye Kun also knew that he would never have such good luck again.

Dai Xi hurried back and got Ye Kun's crossbow.

Jiang Yourong and Caidie also ran over in panic and asked what was going on.

"Yourong, you all stay at home, close the door, and don't come out!"

Ye Kun gave an order, then limped towards the village entrance with a bow and crossbow.

We are all from the same village, so when something like this happens, we must help each other.

At the entrance of the village, Yan Liuhai knelt on the ground, crying heart-wrenchingly.

There was a bloodstain on the ground, as well as a bamboo basket and some wild vegetables scattered around.

The tiger has disappeared.

Qin Chou stamped his feet in anxiety and cursed Yan Liuhai:

"Liu Hai, we accompanied Ye Kun to claim the reward yesterday, and Ye Kun gave you more than a hundred copper coins. After returning home, he gave your family some money and tiger meat. You have food to eat, but you let your mother go dig wild vegetables?"

Ever since Ye Kun killed the tiger, no one in the village dared to go into the mountains in the past two days.

Just find some wild vegetables in front of and behind the village.

Fortunately, Ye Kun distributed money to everyone, so the villagers could survive for a few days.

Yan Liuhai burst into tears: "My mother didn't go to the mountains. She was just digging wild vegetables behind the village. Who knew that this beast would come to the village to eat people!"

Ye Kun also felt sorry for Yan Liuhai and said:

"Village chief, this can't be blamed on Liu Hai. Who would have thought that the tiger would be so bold as to enter the village directly?"

The population of Dading Kingdom is small, the land is vast and the population is sparse, so it is common for tigers to enter villages.

Qin Erwu shouted, "Stop talking so much. What should we do now?"

Yan Liuhai shouted, "Fellow villagers, please be kind and come with me into the mountains to look for my mother. She might still be alive."

Ye Kun shook his head and sighed.

It’s a miracle if you’re still alive!

Ye Kun saw it with his own eyes the last time a tiger bit Yao Heifu to death.

A strong man can't withstand two bites of a tiger, let alone an old lady?

Qin Chou gritted his teeth and said, "Fellow villagers, light torches and follow me into the mountains."

As a village chief, Qin Chou is quite responsible.

Ye Kun limped and nodded, "Okay, let's go together."

"Don't go. Your legs are more lame than mine!"

Qin Erwu looked at Ye Kun's crossbow and said, "Lend me your bow and arrows. I will lead everyone into the mountains."

Ye Kun had no choice but to nod and hand the crossbow to Qin Erwu.

The villagers organized more than 20 people, all of whom were young and strong men, carrying torches, hunting forks, and bows and arrows, and shouted all the way into the mountains.

Ye Kun limped back home.

Jiang Yourong and Dai Xi Caidie were both staying in the room, each looking nervous and sad.

Ye Kun comforted everyone and started to eat dinner.

At this time, the villagers who had gone into the mountains came back.

Qin Erwu returned the short crossbow and shook his head, saying, "Don't look for it anymore. We found one of Yan Liuhai's mother's hands. She is definitely gone and there is no way to find her again..."

Qin Chou also chased after him and said, "Ye Kun, we have to find a way to deal with the tiger. This beast is too powerful!"

Qin Erwu looked at Ye Kun eagerly: "Brother Dalang, let's form a tiger-fighting team!"

"My foot isn't healed yet..."

Ye Kun frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "Let's light a few bonfires in the village first to prevent the tigers from coming again at night. We will discuss the tiger hunting team tomorrow."

Qin Chou nodded and took Erwu to prepare a bonfire.

Most wild animals are afraid of fire, so bonfires are of some use.

Jiang Yourong was very scared and whispered, "Dalang, the tiger-hunting team is very dangerous. Your foot is not healed yet. If you encounter a tiger..."

"I know, let me think."

Ye Kun nodded.

After dinner, Ye Kun hid in the carpenter's workshop, found a few pieces of wood, wrote and drew, and thought about the Tiger Hunting Team.

When I was a graduate student, I took a course called "History of War Equipment", which recorded the three-bow crossbow from the Song Dynasty, which was extremely powerful.

The range can reach 1,600 meters, and at close range, it can penetrate one foot into the city wall!

During the Northern Song Dynasty, during the Song-Liao War, the Liao army commander Xiao Talina was shot dead by an arrow from a three-bow crossbow at a long distance, which led to the signing of the Treaty of Tanyuan, which brought a hundred years of peace between Liao and Song.

Moreover, Ye Kun had also seen a replica of the three-bow crossbow and was familiar with its design.

Two hours later, Ye Kun came up with the blueprint for a simple version of a bed crossbow.

This is a combination crossbow with two bows and two arrows. According to the design effect, it can shoot two arrows at a time, with enough force to penetrate rocks and ensure accuracy.

But it’s no use drawing the blueprint because I don’t have the materials!

Make bricks without straw.

Ye Kun now lacks a suitable bow arm, bowstring and bow and arrow.

The night is dark.

Jiang Yourong walked in and whispered, "Dalang, take a rest first. Caidie also needs to sleep..."

Ye Kun nodded, gave the carpentry workshop to Caidie, and returned to the bedroom with Jiang Yourong.

Young couples are passionate and passionate, and the Zhougong etiquette is inevitable.

The ceremony is over.

Jiang Yourong suddenly laughed and said, "Da Lang, you lied to me."

Ye Kun was puzzled and smiled: "What did I lie to you about?"

"You said that the Zhou Gong ritual was seven times a night. I asked my mother. She said that it was not true."

"Ah, you can ask my mother-in-law about this too." Ye Kun's face felt hot.

"I know you lied to me, I won't ask next time..." Jiang Yourong giggled.

"Silly girl, the private conversations between husband and wife cannot be told to others."

Ye Kun pinched Jiang Yourong's nose and said, "Your mother's words don't count. Every family has its own rules. I am the head of the family. The rules I set count."

"Okay, I'll keep a record and pay you back later..."

Jiang Yourong buried her head in Ye Kun's chest, like a gentle kitten.

Early the next morning.

Ye Kun went into the carpenter's workshop again.

Caidie was still sleeping in the corner. She was awakened by the shock. She blinked and looked at Ye Kun, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Dalang, are you here... to see me?"

"Why are you here? I'm here to do my own thing. I have nothing to do in the morning. You can go back to sleep. Children are very sleepy."

Ye Kun shook his head and continued to study the drawings, thinking about how to find materials.

"I'm not a child..."

Caidie stuck out her tongue and hid under the sheets to put on her clothes.

When the sun was high in the sky, the village chief Qin Chou, along with several elders from the village and seven or eight hunters, came to discuss things with Ye Kun.

They all sat on the ground in front of the door, waiting for Ye Kun's opinion.

Who made him a great archer?

Ye Kun said: "I also hope to set up a tiger-hunting team, one is to protect the villagers, and the other is to earn some rewards so that everyone can live a good life. But reckless actions will not work, the risk is very high. I need some materials, and I may have to go to the county to buy them."

Qin Chou said: "What materials do you want? Tell me and if you can afford it, we can pool our money to buy it!"

Ye Kun had already made the plan, and nodded, "I need ten of the strongest bow arms, the strongest bow strings, and some long arrows..."

Everyone was talking about it, calculating how much these things would cost.

At the entrance of the village, seven or eight people came, each holding a bronze spear, showing off their power.

The leader was a big man with a big sword on his shoulder. He walked with a swaying look and looked very arrogant.

Qin Chou narrowed his eyes and looked at them, and said in surprise: "These are the robbers from Shuangya Mountain. Why are they here?"

Old Man Wang from the village also frowned: "We have already harvested this year's wheat, why are the robbers still coming?"
