Traveling to another world and becoming a local owner

The three of them wandered around in the mountains for a long time, and found that if they went further, they would be in the deep mountains with dense jungle, so they stopped. Zhang Ling also felt that the crossbow had been tested enough, so he suggested returning to the village.

Da Niu and Li Liulang, carrying pheasants and rabbits, followed Zhang Ling, their eyes almost popping out of their heads with envy.

"Brother Ling, can you make me a crossbow someday? It's so useful." Da Niu begged from behind with eager eyes.

"Yes, young master, please get one for me too. I will take care of all the mountain products in the family from now on." Li Liulang was also drooling and promised solemnly.

As the two were talking, there was a commotion in the woods ahead, and a wild boar over one meter long suddenly jumped out from the bushes.

The wild boar had thick skin and flesh, and was covered with dense bristles. It weighed at least two hundred pounds, and had two very sharp fangs, and looked very ferocious.

"Master, be careful!" Li Liulang saw this and threw the pheasant and rabbit in his hand to the ground, then rushed to Zhang Ling to block him. Daniu followed suit and hurriedly protected him.

When the wild boar saw the three people, it didn't seem afraid. Instead, it charged straight towards them.

"Master, run!"

"Run, Brother Ling!"

Li Liulang and Daniu were frightened and shouted anxiously.

Zhang Ling was already frightened and at a loss, but when he heard the two men's shouts, he suddenly raised the crossbow in his hand and fired at the wild boar that was rushing towards him.

"Chirp chirp chirp..."

The nine crossbow arrows were soon used up. Just when the three were in despair, the wild boar that rushed to within two meters in front of them suddenly made a sharp turn, sprinted less than ten meters in the other direction, and fell into the grass by the roadside with a "bang".

The three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief upon seeing this. They stood there in a daze, watching the wild boar howling non-stop. It tried to stand up several times but couldn't support its body. It could only flex its limbs continuously, with the amplitude of its movements becoming smaller and smaller, and the sound gradually becoming quieter.

After the wild boar had completely stopped making any sound, Li Liulang tiptoed forward.

"Young Master, the wild boar is dead." Li Liulang checked it carefully and then turned back to confirm.

"Phew... I was scared to death!" Upon hearing that, Zhang Ling sat down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Daniu, come and help us, let's carry this wild boar back." Li Liulang said while waving his hand as he happily pulled the crossbow arrow off the wild boar's head.

"Oh! Great!" Upon hearing this, Da Niu was very happy. With such a big wild boar, he could kill it and eat a lot of meat.

The two found a tree trunk, tied the wild boar's limbs tightly with vines, and carried it away. Zhang Ling picked up the pheasants and rabbits that fell on the ground, and happily followed them down the mountain.

When they returned to the village, it was almost dusk. The villagers who worked in the kiln were rushing home one after another. Seeing that they had a good harvest, they hurried forward to watch the fun.

"Daniu, you are really good. You killed such a big wild boar!"

"Yeah, Old Li is in good shape now, he'll have something to brag about tomorrow!"

"A wild boar this big must weigh at least 200 to 300 kilograms..."

Several villagers were talking at once, half joking and discussing non-stop.

"What does it have to do with me? I didn't beat them all. Brother Ling killed them all by himself." After listening to what everyone said, Da Niu's face suddenly turned red and he explained hurriedly.

"Master Zhang beat him? How is that possible?"

"Yeah, Xiao Ling is such a weak kid, how can he kill a wild boar?"

"I think it was probably the guy next to him who beat him to death!"

"Well, I guess so..."

When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to blame anyone. After all, they were all working in the brick kiln, so they could only talk in a low voice.

Zhang Ling had sharp ears and eyes, so of course he heard it. He did not argue, but just smiled and walked towards home.

After they brought all the hunted prey to the kitchen, Zhang Ling happily returned to his room.

There were still some important details of the crossbow that needed to be adjusted. Since Fusheng and Cao Shuan were still sleeping, he had to quickly write down these problems and solutions.

For example, if the handle is too long and the arm has to pull the handle over a large distance, which wastes time, you can change it into an arc or a ninety-degree angle; add an openable cover on the quiver to prevent the crossbow arrows from falling when shooting; the position of the movable bolt on the crossbow stock can be moved forward a little to save effort, etc.

Science always gains true knowledge through practice, which is the view he has always believed in. It was because he personally tested the crossbow that he was able to consider so many details.

Zhang Ling was writing when he saw Zhang's mother walk in with a sullen face.

"Ling'er, did you go into the mountains to hunt with Daniu and the others this afternoon?" Zhang's mother asked in an unhappy tone, her face full of worry.

"Yes, Mom, what's wrong?" Zhang Ling put down the pen, turned around and asked.

"Child, why are you so disobedient? What if such a big wild boar hurts you?" Upon hearing this, Zhang's mother became furious and immediately scolded him.

"No, mom. I know my limits. Besides, we have Da Niu and Liu Lang with us. They are experienced hunters. Nothing will happen." Zhang Ling knew that his mother cared about him and it was difficult for him to refute her, so he could only look aggrieved.

"Child, why are you so disobedient? The Zhang family has been a single-son family for eight generations, and you are the only child. If anything happens to you, how will you live?" As Zhang's mother spoke, tears kept falling.

"Okay, Mom, I get it. I won't go hunting in the mountains anymore. Please don't cry, okay?" Zhang Ling had no choice but to agree honestly.

Zhang's mother stopped crying after hearing this, and just earnestly warned him to protect himself, get married early, and continue the Zhang family line.

Zhang Ling patiently sent his mother away with great difficulty, then continued to sit at the table, thinking about the various problems with the compound crossbow, determined to make it perfect.

Cao Shuan didn't wake up until dinner time. When he rushed to the kitchen, Da Niu was happily telling Fusheng and others about what happened in the afternoon.

"Just then, the wild boar suddenly rushed towards us. Liu Lang and I flew in front of Brother Ling and shouted at him to run. But what about Brother Ling? Instead of running away, he silently picked up the crossbow and slowly loaded the crossbow arrows into the quiver, one, two, three... Liu Lang and I were scared to death. Such a big wild boar was about to rush over us." Daniu described the story vividly and used his body to describe the actions.

"What happened next? Tell me quickly." Upon hearing this, Fusheng broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly urged.

"Yes, Daniel, don't keep us in suspense and continue!" The woman next to him was also anxious and hurriedly asked him to continue.
