Chapter 36: The Horned Girl Who Can’t Hide Her Thoughts and the Cat-eared Girl with a Flashing Camera Expression
“Was that the arrow from just now? How did it get stuck in the tree?”
“Good heavens, it even made a hole in the tree. How much would it hurt if it hit someone?”
“Ye, can each of us be this amazing?”
“Ye, can we each get a bow?”
After witnessing the power of the bow and arrow, the Beast-eared Girls became even more eager to learn how to use them.
“Tomorrow, tomorrow all the bows will be made, and then each of you will get one,” Lin Ye said to them, looking at their expectant gazes.
Upon hearing Lin Ye’s words, the Beast-eared Girls couldn’t help but cheer.
After watching the Beast-eared Girls cheer for a while, Lin Ye continued.
“Tomorrow, you just need to make some arrows and smooth them out. Don’t sharpen the arrowheads, use them for training. Otherwise, the arrowheads you painstakingly made will be useless after one shot.”
Lin Ye was also contemplating making some scarecrows for the Beast-eared Girls to practice their aim.
By this time, the sky was already getting dark.
The Beast-eared Girls excitedly returned to the bonfire, discussing Lin Ye’s archery demonstration.
Lin Ye returned to his bow-making area and picked up a bull’s horn to ponder.
Lin Ye tugged at it forcefully, discovering that this bull’s horn was exceptionally hard. It wouldn’t be easy to split it in half.
In this world where nothing is readily available, Lin Ye had to find his own solutions.
Lin Ye could break it with his full strength, but he feared damaging the horn.
Lin Ye’s idea was to split the horn in half from the bone in the middle, and then grind the bone into handles that could be gripped by hand. This way, the three-meter-long bull’s horn could be turned into two one-and-a-half-meter-long short spears.
Finally, Lin Ye resorted to the most tedious method. He used the bear claw to slowly grind it down. It was fortunate that he had the black bear’s claw; otherwise, Lin Ye would still be using a primitive bone knife, and it would take hours to chop down a bamboo stalk.
Lin Ye spent half an hour grinding the bull’s horn with the bear claw. The bone in the middle of the horn was ground away by half. Now, Lin Ye grasped the sides of the revealed crack, gave a strong pull, and the bull’s horn successfully split into two pieces.
Holding a piece of horn in each hand, Lin Ye liked them more and more. Just like this, he carried the two horns and sat down by the bonfire.
The Beast-eared Girls were barbecuing meat by the bonfire. Seeing Lin Ye walk over with two bull’s horns, chest puffed out and a smile on his face, they looked at him with confusion, wondering what made him so happy.
After Lin Ye sat down, Shi handed him a piece of barbecue. Lin Ye took it and placed it on the bonfire to cook. Beside them, Sakura was struggling to chew a piece of cooked beef. This wild beef was incredibly tough and difficult to eat. Sakura held the piece of meat as if she were in a battle, only managing to take a bite after much effort, then chewing with gritted teeth.
At this moment, Xing asked Lin Ye, “Ye, will all the bows be finished tomorrow?”
Hearing Xing’s voice, Lin Ye turned to look at her and nodded, saying, “That’s right, all the bows will be finished tomorrow, and then everyone can start learning how to use them.”
Upon hearing Lin Ye’s words, the Beast-eared Girls by the bonfire revealed happy smiles. Only Xing looked at Lin Ye, hesitating to speak several times. Lin Ye could tell that Xing had something on her mind, but it seemed inconvenient to speak with everyone else present.
At this moment, Sakura, beside them, was panting heavily from the effort of eating meat, glaring fiercely at the half-eaten beef in her hand. After a short rest, she resumed her battle with the meat.
Seeing Sakura’s struggle, Lin Ye took his beef off the bonfire when it was only about sixty to seventy percent cooked. He blew off the heat, then lowered his head and took a bite. Mmm, tender and juicy. Fortunately, the piece of beef Shi had given him was a prime cut, a fillet.
Sakura watched Lin Ye eat with such enjoyment, then looked at her own barbecue. Pouting, she looked at Lin Ye with teary eyes. Lin Ye couldn’t stand her gaze and handed her his grilled meat. After all, he had eaten two large, sizzling, blood-rare grilled beef kidneys at noon and had spent the afternoon making bows and arrows without much activity, so he wasn’t very hungry now.
Sakura took Lin Ye’s grilled meat and eagerly took a bite. The moment the beef entered her mouth, her eyes lit up. After a few quick chews, Sakura stretched her neck and swallowed the meat in her mouth with a gulp. Then, she took a bite of her own grilled meat, and the light in her eyes disappeared.
In this manner, Sakura switched back and forth between the two pieces of grilled meat, her expression constantly changing. Her eyes were almost like a flashing camera, sometimes bright, sometimes dim. Everyone watching Sakura burst into laughter. However, Xing still looked preoccupied.
Seeing Xing’s expression, Lin Ye shook his head helplessly, thinking that these Beast-eared Girls wore their thoughts on their faces. Just like the Fox-eared Girl, Susu, beside him, who kept stealing glances at him while sitting by the bonfire. After looking, she would blush and lower her head, giggling foolishly. She didn’t even notice that the meat in her hand was almost burning.
Lin Ye couldn’t stand it any longer, so he reminded her, “Susu, if you keep giggling foolishly, the meat on the bonfire will really get burnt.”
