Ch36 – Meteor Hammer and Vine Noose – Chrysanthemum Garden

  5lN1mQ

After a lively breakfast, Qin Fei came up with two flexible weapons that were more suitable for the moment.
Sa Lei and a group of males were about to set off and after hearing some of Qin Fei’s ideas decided to leave after a little later.
Let’s see the weapon, if it was easy to make like what Qin Fei said it would be, then they could try it out first, and who knew that it might come in handy for the hunt today.

The meteor hammer which used to often appear in martial arts dramas, was perfect for hunting.
If you throw it low and with a certain amount of force, it would spin around and hit the enemy.
Especially when hunting, the weight of the two ends of the hammer would naturally wrap around the middle rope when it came into contact with the prey.
If the target was the leg part of a large animal, then the running beast would have its leg held by the rope and would probably fall over.
If hunting males were quick to subdue the beast at this point, the chances of injury were greatly reduced.

Another type of noose was used by Mongolian warriors to snare horses and in many big battlefields in ancient costume dramas, it was often used to snare soldiers on horseback.
If you used it in the mountain forest, once you have the animal by the neck, you could quickly pull it up to a nearby tree and secure it.
Even if you couldn’t tie it down firmly, you could still limit its range of attack.
This saved a lot of effort and reduced the danger.
There was also a simpler trip wire that was actually a strong and durable rattan rope.

The crowd was delirious with delight to hear about the flexible weapon introduced by Qin Fei.
A few males followed Qin Fei’s instructions and roughly made a few flexible weapons out of stones and rattan nets.
Qin Fei chose the smallest meteor hammer and showed them how to do it, but they still felt that was not satisfying after they saw the hammer flying out and wrapping itself around a large tree.

By Sa Lei’s suggestion, the males brought out the male baa beast.
The male baa beast looked fearfully at the group staring at him from a distance and slowly backed away from the group, eventually spreading his hooves and running.
At that moment, Qin Fei swung the simple meteor hammer and threw it at the beast’s legs.
The hammer came at the beast with a cracking sound, and the moment the rope touched his leg, the stone made a few quick circles around his leg through inertia.
Before the beast knew what was happening, he was tangled up on the ground.

The demonstration of the rattan set did not go very well, since the difficulty level for this technique was very high.
Qin Fei used a stone to represent a motionless prey, but he missed it several times.
Sa Lei was very anxious as he was watching him, so after Qin Fei had explained the technique to him, he rubbed his hands together and tried it out.
He was able to get the stone in one go and pulled it back.
The stone was replaced by the two males of baa beasts that came out as the experiment and only after the two baa beasts screamed and cried out, did he stop.

Seeing how well it worked and easy to use, Sa Lei got the males to cut some vines and get some rocks.
They made a dozen or so meteor hammers and vine snares in one go.

Ruma watched from the sidelines with Xiao Bu, and seeing that it was getting late, urged the males to go.
Sa Lei gave Qin Fei a big kiss on the cheek and turned his head to see Xiao Bu using the ‘shy face’ gesture Qin Fei had taught him.
He glared at him fiercely before leading the males off.

The female team who had gone out to gather food had already departed, leaving the females behind to make the knitted items that Qin Fei had taught them.
The weavings were made with great care, as they did not have to rush.
The straw sandals in particular had been improved several times and were now more pleasing to the eye aka beautiful and comfortable.
The females used the thick animal skins to add soles to the straw shoes based on the ones Qin Fei had made for Sa Lei.
With his explanations and suggestions, the straw shoes were almost perfect.

A few clever females also used rattan tendons to make a backstrap.
These were time-consuming to make, but they were much more durable.
Of course, they were also praised by Qin Fei who encouraged them to be bold and innovative as well as to make more and better weaving products.

Qin Fei knew that Xiao Bu had long been eyeing the animal skin trousers he was wearing, so he was planning to make two sets for him while he was not busy today.
It would be good if he could manage to make some for Sa Lei and Ruma’s as well.

Xiao Bu was called by Qin Fei.
He then watched Qin Fei make measurements with his hands and understood Qin Fei’s intentions.
Once Qin Fei had prepared the animal skins, he eagerly waited by his side.
Qin Fei was busy making trousers while telling a story to Xiao Bu.
In addition to the busy weaving females, there were many children from the tribe around him, all listening quietly to his story.

In just two hours, Xiao Bu’s two sets of trousers were ready.
He was very happy to put on the yellow-brown striped trouser and happily showed it to his friends.

While Qin Fei was planning to make Sa Lei’s trousers next, two older males from the tribe brought back something the size of a rugby ball.
Qin Fei had also seen these in the woods around the tribe.
It was very much like an olive fruit, but much larger and not as smooth as the olive’s skin since it was deeply veined.

Seeing Qin Fei’s curiosity, one of the females, Ava, told him that in the past when there was a shortage of food, only the tribesmen would collect them.
Because it had no taste, it was so dry and hard to swallow that most people preferred to starve rather than eat it.
Only the elders of the tribe would collect some at this time of year, and when they were really hungry, they would crack open the hard outer shell of the white powdered fruit and pour out the white tasteless powder inside and eat it by boiling it in water.
But now, with Qin Fei and the provision of food for all, there was no need for the old people to collect them.

One of the older males took exception to what some of the females had said.
It seemed to him that although Qin Fei had brought the tribe an abundance of food, everyone still had to remain vigilant.
In the event of a real and sudden shortage of food, they, the older ones, would like to leave more food for the young men who were out hunting.
Qin Fei appreciated and respected the prudence of the old men and their thoughts.
He also said that he would do his best to help people get more food.

However, what he was more curious about was the white powdered fruit that the old man had brought back.
He asked the old man for one and carefully cut the outer skin with a small knife to reveal the delicate powder inside.
Qin Fei dipped some into his hand and put it in his mouth.
At first there was no taste, but when he tasted it, there was a slight sweetness to it which seemed better than raw flour.

Blinking his eyes, Qin Fei smiled as he announced, “I’ll make something delicious for everyone to eat at lunch, using this white flour fruit.”
