Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 141 Crossbow

Zhao Qiaoniang and Zheng Xiuxiu were filled with joy, and Mrs. Bai also smiled slightly. This Zhao Qiaoniang really learned things quickly and was more talented than her.

Mrs. Bai comes from a family of officials. The embroidery teachers she follows are all highly respected people in the embroidery field and are highly respected.

Her specialty is double-sided embroidery. The most amazing thing about double-sided embroidery is that there are complete and exquisite patterns on both sides of the embroidery cloth.

What is presented on the front may be a vivid picture of birds paying homage to the phoenix.

The phoenix's feathers are embroidered with extremely delicate needlework, and it seems that they will take off from the embroidered cloth at any time.

However, when it is turned over, what is revealed is a tranquil landscape painting with a style completely different from the front.

The mountains are rolling, shrouded in clouds and mist, and the streams in the mountains are gurgling, giving people a feeling of tranquility and far-reachingness.

The delicate silk threads incorporate the charm of mountains and rivers, allowing people to feel the wonders of nature.

Back then, Madam Bai presented this painting of a hundred birds paying homage to the Phoenix to the current empress, who loved it so much that she rewarded her with a pair of mutton-fat jade bracelets, a box of South China Sea pearls, and several rolls of precious brocade...

Mrs. Bai sighed, the past was too painful to recall.

Master Bai was a little anxious: "Why are these people so slow? Could they have strayed from our path?"

Lin Datou shook his head and said, "I asked around yesterday, and they are indeed still behind us. That group of people came from that road."

There were also more than sixty disaster victims nearby, looking at them with wary eyes, and occasionally glancing at their wheelbarrows.

Master Bai also looked at them with a wary look and said softly, "I always feel that these people's eyes are not normal. We should be careful at night."

Lin Datou quickly said, "Everyone, bring your weapons tonight. We might have a tough battle to fight."

The young carpenter was a little excited and excitedly took out two secret weapons from his arms, which scared Zhao Qiaoniang.

These are all bows and crossbows. Zhao Qiaoniang naturally knows how powerful the bows and crossbows in her hands are, so she doesn't dare to use them easily.

The carpenter quickly explained:

"I've copied out two crossbows, but they're still no match for the one you have.

But it’s quite powerful, I’ve tried it.”

The young carpenter handed another crossbow to Master Bai. Master Bai had tested the power of this crossbow before. He nodded and said, "The young carpenter is really amazing. He is very talented in this area. When we get to the capital, we will open a carpentry shop. Business will definitely be booming..."

The little carpenter's eyes sparkled:

“I also like making things, and when the time comes I can make a lot of things I like.

I can also make those large carved beds, and if I have the right tools, I can chisel out those extra large beds.”

Zhao Qiaoniang smiled and said, "Then when we get to the capital, I'll open one for you."

"Oh! Great!" The little carpenter was very happy.

Lin Wanwan looked at the crossbow and felt that it could be modified further, such as by adding a power storage box to it.

This power storage box is made of tough iron and wood, and has a sophisticated mechanism inside. It stores more power when the bow is drawn, greatly increasing the power of the arrow when it is shot.

Fine steel sheets can also be embedded in the bow arms of the crossbow to enhance the bearing capacity of the bow arms, allowing the crossbow to be pulled to a greater extent, thereby increasing the range and lethality of the arrows.

However, I don’t know whether such powerful crossbows could be used in ancient times. Anyway, in the era of cold weapons, this crossbow was already very scary.

Of course, there is an even more terrifying one, which is the Rain of Pear Blossom Needles. When it is fired, it can scatter a large number of fine needles, as dense as a rainstorm.

These tiny needles can cover an area, making it difficult for opponents to dodge.

Moreover, the needle is small and sharp, and is often laced with a strong poison.

Once inserted into the human body, the poison in the needle will quickly take effect, causing the person to lose the ability to move in a short period of time or even die.

And because the needle is very thin, the wound is small and deep, and the toxin can penetrate deeper into the human body faster.

Moreover, this thing is small in size and easy to hide in cuffs, belts, etc.

Launch an attack when the enemy is least prepared, making it impossible to defend against it and delivering a sudden and fatal blow to the enemy.

Coincidentally, Lin Wanwan knew how to make it. Back then, she was very interested in making poison, so she looked up some information on the subject and also carefully watched the production process of the Torrential Pear Blossom Needle.

When you have the chance in the future, you can also make some Rain of Pear Blossom Needles for self-defense.

Master Bai and Zhao Qiaoniang carefully put away the crossbow, as they did not want to use it.

No one knows what happened to Linjia Village, and they still haven't caught up.

The 60-odd people on the other side were ready to make a move...

Lin Datou also felt that something was wrong. The looks of these people were becoming more and more unscrupulous.

Sure enough, one person couldn't help it. The man stood up and walked towards them.

He wore a kind smile as he walked towards Master Bai and the others. His ragged clothes gave off a sour, unwashed smell. "My last name is Ren, and my courtesy name is Qiushi. Sir, you should be a scholar, right?"

Master Bai stroked his beard and asked, "May I ask what's the matter?"

The man smiled and said, "I just wanted to ask where you guys are going?"

"We haven't made any plans yet..."

Qiushi smiled and said, "We are planning to go to Bianjing. Why don't we go together? Look at you, all of you are women and have children. It's not convenient."

Master Bai waved his hand calmly and said, "Forget it! It's precisely because you have children and a woman that you shouldn't have too much contact with men outside of your family."

"Tsk...what did you say to that old guy? He can't tell good from bad."

"That's right! They're just some old people and children, why are you still trying to find out?"

These people no longer concealed their presence and directly took out the swords hidden on the flatbed truck.

Qiushi, who had just been acting gentle and refined, no longer concealed his true feelings. He sneered and said, "These women are quite pretty, but that one is too ugly. She disgusts me. Just kill her!"

He pointed at Lin Xiaoxiao and glanced at her with disdain.

Lin Xiaoxiao was so angry that her face turned red, and Zhao Qiaoniang also silently drew her weapon.

Qiushi laughed heartily and said:

“Oh! Little Pi Niang is quite brave, but don’t you see how many children there are in your group?

If you dare to do that, I will chop your child into pieces and feed it to the dogs."

He looked coldly at the children, then at the full wheelbarrow, and couldn't help laughing.

I don’t know if these people are stupid. They actually dare to push the wheelbarrow forward so brazenly.

This wheelbarrow is full, so it must be full of food.

Master Bai looked at him and said:

"Have you ever thought about this? Since we dare to push the wheelbarrow on the road openly, we are naturally not afraid of you.

You guys should think about this carefully.”
