After nearly two days of work, all the bamboo houses needed were completed before the sun even moved towards the west. Some furniture was made and the rest could be improved slowly. The only thing that attracts the attention of all the males now was the crossbow Qin Fei made for Xiao Bu. At the moment the small crossbow was being taken apart again since the group of males, led by Sa Lei, were making larger crossbows, modelled on the small one.
Qin Fei turned a circle, unable to intervene. He took the idea of breaking the small pointes spikes that were still left from the mountain breaker mythical beasts. He chose some small spikes, made some bamboo arrows and pressed them onto the arrows. Although the spikes were partly hollow, they still made the front part of the arrow slightly heavier and after several attempts with the bamboo crossbow, the target was off because of the wide angle. But the arrows of the bamboo crossbow were relatively short and had a notch, so it was not easy to make the troublesome tail to even out the weight. Moreover, the bamboo crossbows were supposed to be lightweight and simple so being too fancy and loaded down with trivial details would lose their original advantage.
Qin Fei thought about it for a while and planned to make a set of arrows to try out. Although Qin Fei had learnt some archery skills, the bows and arrows he used were modern products, therefore he had only seen the bows and arrows used by the ancients on television and in museums, so he could only slowly piece them together from memory. Luckily, the bow and arrows were not too complicated, so he thought about it in his head for a while and then set to work. First he broke open the wrist-thick bamboo, cut off the sticking burrs around it with a knife, polished the edges with coarse animal skin, then slowly smoked it over a fire and carefully broke the bamboo into bends. Then, using the small spines of the magical beast, he left a half-inch distance between each end of the bamboo and drilled a small hole in it. The pliable rattan skin was peeled, rolled into a string and threaded through the holes, then tied tightly, with that, a simple bow was made.
Next, some bamboo arrows were made and the arrows were inserted with the spikes of the mountain breakers mythical beasts. While sighing that it would be beautiful if it had put the feathers on it, he plucked the feathers of the fat grey bird that Xiao Bu did not want. Finally, after several attempts, twelve grey plume arrows were made.
Qin Fei set up his stance and drew his bow, and with a whoosh, the feather arrows flew out and poked hard into a tree forty metres away. Qin Fei sighed that he had missed by a lot, while sighing that the pointed thorns of the Mountain Breaker mystical beasts were really strong.
The males who were making crossbows at the side had long been watching Qin Fei’s movements with their eyes. At this moment, seeing his sharp movements and the power of the arrows he shot, they all ran over to try it out. Mocha was brave enough to take the first position. Qin Fei also graciously let him try. As a result, Mocha’s arrow missed and he tried a second time, but still missed. A chorus of boos rose from the crowd of males, Mocha rubbed his nose in embarrassment and ran off to collect his arrows.
A few males were eager to give it a try, but they were stopped by Xumijja, who suggested that the chief Sa Lei should try first. Sa Lei was, after all, the ‘leader’ of the tribe therefore he thought it was not good to refuse. Thinking that both the bow and the crossbow were similar, he had to toughen his scalp—brace himself to try it.
When Sa Lei opened his bow and arrow, Qin Fei wrapped his arms around his waist from behind. While pointing out his footsteps, he corrected his bow grip and went on and on about other things that needed attention; about the upper body posture, the movement of the hands, and the posture after the arrow was fired…

Some males whispered, “Surely Xiumijja was right to let Boss Sa Lei first.”
Mocha was unwilling to concede and 1 oooyelled, “Boss Qin Fei is not fair, teach Boss Sa Lei so attentively…”
Before he could finish his sentence he was booed by Xiumijja and other males…
Benert opened his mouth again for a moment, “If Boss Qin Fei was holding you so intimately and teaching you. You can go lie down in that cave where the meat is stored.”
Mocha was dumbfounded, “Why?”
Xiumijja gave him a look of contempt, “I say, Mocha, how can you be so stupid? What do you think Boss Sa Lei would do to you if Boss Qin Fei was acting intimately with you?”
Mocha shivered and blurted out “Kill me!”
Xiumijja rolled his eyes, “Even if you went to lie down in a cave where meat was stored until the winter came and when food was most scarce, I still won’t eat your meat.”
Mocha patted Xiumijja’s shoulder, “Bro, you’re the best. Moreover, we’re not even one of those brutal and cruel flesh-eating tribes.”
Benert explained with a serious look on his face, “What Xiumijja means is that eating your meat will only make him became stupid like you.”
Mocha foam at the mouth and glare with rage while the other males giggled for a while before then they went back to work on their crossbows. They had to do it one at a time; although the bow and arrows were easy to make, those were more powerful because of the spikes of the mountain breaker mythical beasts, so they were more difficult to make than the crossbow. So they start with the crossbows first.
After a while, the males finished their crossbows and arrows one after another. It must be said that men had a natural talent for making weapons and each crossbow was tightly made. In contrast, Qin Fei was a little ashamed. Those were what he called a real bamboo crossbow, the one he made was really just a toy. But he also comforted himself with the fact that it was precisely a toy that he had made for Xiao Bu, what was more, he could still shoot it 20 to 30 metres away, so he was already very satisfied with it.
While Qin Fei was depressed, Xiao Bu came running over and dragged Qin Fei to give his gifts. Hence Qin Fei accompanied Xiao Bu and gave each of the children of the tribe the small animals they had caught today. He also gave two more to the Cooper and Chalo brothers. In the end, he didn’t keep any of them, and only took back the vine net that he had used to tie the little animals.
Qin Fei kissed Xiao Bu on the cheek and praised him. Xiao Bu smiled and asked Qin Fei for something delicious to eat or
something that he had never eaten before. Qin Fei touched his little nose briefly and took him off to the river to spend time and toss around there.
The males were itching to use the bows and crossbows as they scattered around the forest near the tribe, led by Sa Lei and some men. Within an hour, each one went back with good results. Although those were small animals, they were the ones they normally couldn’t hunt or had difficulty hunting. The females loved the beautiful furs and feathers and were noisily discussing how to dress themselves up with it.
Sa Lei was impatient to give Qin Fei one of the beautiful beasts he had hunted, so he searched for Qun Fei around before finding him by the river. He was pulling a vine net in the river with Xiao Bu and there were already around twenty big fish on the riverbank.
The tribe never ate fish because they were hard to catch, tasted funny and had a lot of thorns. Not knowing how both of them managed to get so many, but he guessed that it had something to do with the net.
As expected from Sa Lei, the two slowly took in the net and caught several more large fish. Qin Fei tried hard to drag the net to shore, but Xiao Bu’s strength was too small and the net was a little off then they saw those several big fish were about to slip away, Sa Lei hurriedly went into the water and pulled on Xiao Bu’s net end, and the three of them working hard together to lift the net up.
Sa Lei counted roughly thirty-two fish plus the previous ones.
Qin Fei smiled sinisterly at Sa Lei, “Since there’s a ‘walk right into the trap helper’, come over and help me handle the fish together.”
The three of them cleaned up the fish according to Qin Fei’s instructions, during which Sa Lei broke a fish gut and scraped a big fish, which was met with a blank stare from Qin Fei and Xiao Bu. The fish liver and the fish float were kept, therefore the part that Qin Fei didn’t want, he dug a hole and buried them.
The three of them carried the large vine net and came back with good results.
Aw they work together ❤️
