Chapter 63: Improving the Crossbow for Brother Xiao Yong
He wanted to protect her, just like he did when he was a child.
He helped her get rid of the little fat man who bullied him at the entrance of the village, saying that his sister could no longer be bullied by anyone.
He helped her pick jujubes from the tree and said that dangerous things should be left to his brother.
He quarreled with the children in the village because they laughed at her for being an unwanted wild child and he said she had a family and that she was his sister.
Xu's mother came back to her senses and suddenly said to her son: "Okay, I won't stop you anymore. You can go and be a soldier. As long as you think in your heart that you will take the young lady home in the future, my mother will believe you." You won't act haphazardly, and you will abide by the rules."
"Mom?" Xu Zheng turned around bravely and looked at Xu's mother in surprise.
"As promised, remember, you are not only a soldier to protect your family and country, not only for fame and wealth, but also for our family. You have a mother who is worried about you, and you have a sister waiting for you. After you have established some achievements, you can take her home." Xu's mother warned her.
"Mom, don't worry, I will remember it! I will keep it all in my heart!" Xu Zhengyong promised firmly.
Then Xu Zhengyong looked at his father.
Xu Zhushan didn't have any objections to begin with. As long as his wife didn't have any objections, he had no objections.
Moreover, my son’s idea is very good and he supports it.
Wei Ruo looked away silently, not wanting the nanny and the others to see her red eyes.
Really, she doesn't cry much, why is her eyes red?
At this time, you should smile happily. What kind of trouble is red eyes!
Damn it, I just can't help it...
After returning from Sibaozhai, Wei Ruo pulled Xiumei into her small warehouse.
"Miss, what are you looking for?" Xiumei wanted to help but didn't know where to start.
"I don't know exactly what materials I need. I can only see what can be used. Brother Xiaoyong is going to be a soldier. I have to make him some useful self-defense things." Although the
attitude She supports Brother Xiao Yong's ambitions, but secretly she is still worried about his safety.
So she wanted to prepare some useful things for Brother Xiao Yong before he went to serve as a soldier.
"That's right! Then I'll help the lady look for anything hard!" Xiumei understood what Wei Ruo meant and immediately joined in the search for materials.
After searching for it, Wei Ruo suddenly stopped.
Xiumei: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Wei Ruo
: "I thought of that crossbow." Japanese pirates. If I can update some weapons in the army, will it also protect Brother Xiaoyong in disguise?" Xiumei: "That's for sure!" Wei Ruo: "You continue to help me look for the things I brought. There is nothing hard, I will go back to the room first." After returning to the room, Wei Ruo took out the paper and pen and began to tentatively draw the drawings. If you make a detachable quiver, which is the same as a bullet clip, and mount it directly on the quiver, and then replace it with another quiver after shooting one quiver, you can theoretically increase the firing frequency of the quiver. Xiumei didn't find anything useful in the warehouse. When she returned to the room, she saw the drawings Wei Ruo was drawing. "Miss, what is this? Is it a crossbow?" "Yes. It's a crossbow. I played with it when I went to the school last time, but it wasn't very easy to use. I thought that if I could improve it, it would be more powerful. But I had no interest in taking care of the Wei family's affairs, so I didn't take any action. Now that Brother Xiaoyong is going to be a soldier, I thought of this thing. If I don't have the conditions to make effective armor for the time being, then I will make some more powerful weapons. Come out and offense is the best defense.”
"That's the best. As long as we are powerful enough, the enemy won't be able to hurt Brother Xiaoyong!" Xiumei said happily.
"Well, I also plan to let Brother Xiaoyong take the final drawing to claim credit."
When he first entered the military camp, Brother Xiaoyong could only be a soldier at the lowest level. If he had some small merit, even if he could not get promotion, he would Can leave an impression on the commander.
"Miss, although this method is good, Brother Xiaoyong doesn't know how to set up such exquisite things at first glance. Others will tell you the truth after just asking." "
Idiot Meimei, I didn't let him say that he designed it himself. Just say it was painted by an expert, wouldn't it be enough if he asked for it? As for an expert somewhere, there are so many deep mountains and old forests, or else it could be said that he is an old gentleman who travels around the world, the kind of person with no fixed abode, who stays behind I don't know where to go after the drawings."
"Young lady is still smart!"
"Meimei, I need to find a good carpenter to help me practice. I can't completely do it just by drawing. I need to practice while drawing." "
Then Xu Uncle maybe, I remember Uncle Xu was a carpenter before." Xiumei reminded.
"Well, then I'll go ask Uncle Xu after I finish this draft."
Wei Ruo was very concerned about this matter and locked herself in the room until the Yun family sent someone to urge her to have a meal at night. Come out of the room.
After coming out, she gave the drawing to Xiumei and asked her to send it to Uncle Xu immediately at Sibaozhai.
The current situation is special. Once Brother Xiaoyong registers for recruitment, he may enter the military camp at any time, and she has no time to delay.
When Xiumei came back, she brought back Xu Zhushan's response. Xu Zhushan had never tried to make something similar before, so he couldn't guarantee it, but he would try it overnight according to the drawings given by Wei Ruo. Regardless of whether it could be done or not, it would be passed early tomorrow morning. The carrier pigeon responded to Wei Ruo.
Early the next morning, the carrier pigeon arrived as scheduled. Xu Zhushan had already made a prototype according to Wei Ruo's instructions, but there were a few details where Xu Zhushan put forward suggestions for improvement based on his own carpentry experience.
Based on the improvement suggestions, Wei Ruo began to draw the second version of the manuscript paper.
I went back and forth like this for three days, and when I got Uncle Xu's reply on the fourth day, I finally got the perfect answer.
The kind of crossbow Wei Ruo wanted was made.
Wei Ruo was very satisfied with this, but Wei Ruo did not stop there. She also had to seize the time to prepare medicine for Xu Zhengyong who was about to enter the military camp.
Wei Ruo's busyness can be felt by everyone around her, and the people in Yingzhuyuan are no exception.
It just so happened that today Wei Ruo came to Yingzhuyuan again to eat and drink. Wei Jin also said: "You seem to be very busy recently." "
Yes, you are busy making medicine." Wei Ruo answered half of it and hid the other half.
No way, she still doesn't want too many people to know about the nanny's affairs. Even Wei Jinyi still has to keep it a secret for now.
"By the way, my second brother, can you help me get the medicine called Angelica dahurica in a short time?" Wei Ruo asked.
Angelica dahurica is one of the medicinal materials used to make medicine for golden sores. Due to the war in Xingshan County, angelica dahurica has become very scarce. Pharmacies in the city are short of this medicine.
Wei Jinyi: "Urgent?"
Wei Ruo: "I'm making some backup medicine for a friend. He's leaving soon. I'm really a little anxious."
Wei Jinyi: "Friend?"
For some reason, Wei Jinyi felt that Wei Ruo's friend It's a man.
