Luo Shiqi didn't feel bored when he stayed in the room.People who know how to live can live happily no matter where they are, and now Luo Shiqi is making his own improved crossbow.He had the idea of ​​making one by himself a long time ago, but he never started to do it.Now that I have nothing to do, I am interested and plan to put my ideas into reality.

Crossbow arrows have been invented since before the Shang and Zhou dynasties. After continuous improvement by craftsmen in various dynasties, they have a relatively complete style.The crossbow does not need to be aimed when the string is stretched, and the hit rate is much higher than that of ordinary bows and arrows.

Although the current crossbow arrows are considered to be extremely easy to operate weapons, Luo Shiqi thought of further improving it, that is, simplifying the method of use.

Existing crossbow bolts need to go through two steps, one is to stretch the string to load the arrow, and the other is to launch the longitudinal string. (Note)

And what he wants to do is to omit the first step, and the archer only needs to forcefully stretch the string to shoot out the pre-installed arrow.

If there is only one arrow, it will naturally lose the meaning of shooting directly. If it is like the Zhuge Liannu, it can shoot ten arrows at a time.As for the only defect of the Zhuge Liannu, Luo Shiqi did a detailed study, and finally found the possibility of making it lighter without losing its power.

Before, he was just making a plan, but now he had nothing to do, so he simply asked Sai'an to help him prepare.

The most difficult thing to find is the ten-mile fragrant wood. The reason why Luo Shiqi took action immediately after not thinking about it was because the materials needed were too many, and he couldn't get good tools and raw materials by himself.The crossbow rope must be made of green hemp, as the jute is not strong enough and is easy to break.After explaining all these things to pay attention to with Sai Anzai, Luo Shiqi started to make simple preparations.

Getting all the materials needed took some effort even for Sai'an.During this period, Qin Renwu came once, with a bulging face. He originally wanted to raise a teacher to inquire about his crimes, but he was stunned by Luo Shiqi's big battle.

After asking clearly, Qin Renwu first looked at Luo Shiqi suspiciously, his expression was clearly lamenting that the world is so big and full of wonders.Luo Shiqi was not in a hurry, and squinted at him. "You don't believe I can do it?"

Qin Renwu was noncommittal, but just smiled and said: "Why do you think of doing this? Now even the imperial court pays more attention to gunpowder instead of crossbow arrows. This kind of weapon is useless in the current situation, and it won't work if you invent it." Appreciated."

Luo Shiqi looked at him suspiciously, tilted his head and said, "You don't need to belittle my crossbow, I know its value very well. But I never said that I would contribute this weapon to the imperial court, but you, do it." Why are you so nervous to stop me?"

In fact, this was also Luo Shiqi's temptation. After all, in Qin Renwu's capacity, it was unreasonable to mention the imperial court.People in the martial arts are the most taboo and disdain to have anything to do with the court. Why did he improve the crossbow by himself? He would talk about such a far-reaching matter.What's more, gunpowder?How did he know that the court was now focusing on gunpowder?

Qin Renwu knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he smiled unnaturally: "How can I be nervous? It's just a casual remark. I still have things to do, so excuse me."

Looking thoughtfully at the back of Qin Renwu's leaving, even though he didn't see anything unusual on the surface, his somewhat chaotic steps betrayed his slight panic.

It was the panic brought about by being peeped into an unknown corner.And Luo Shiqi was certain that this was also related to Ye Gucheng.

While waiting for the materials to arrive, Luo Shiqi had nothing to do to practice calligraphy, read books, draw drawings, and his life was very leisurely.

On this day, he was looking at the travel booklet he brought out from the library after hesitating in front of the door, and he was sensitive to the fact that someone had entered the yard.After stuffing the book into a pile of blueprints, Luo Shiqi pushed open the door, and was surprised to see Ye Gucheng standing outside the door with a slightly tired expression.

I haven't seen him for a few days, Luo Shiqi didn't know what he should say, long time no see, but Ye Gucheng didn't wait for him to think about it, and looked at him with dark eyes.

"Ren Wu said, you are improving the crossbow."

This really surprised Luo Shiqi. He looked at Ye Gucheng who couldn't see any small talk except seriousness, and nodded in a daze. "Yes. But it's just for fun, and I don't know if it will succeed."

Ye Gucheng's eyes flickered slightly: "How sure are you?"

Luo Shiqi thought about it seriously, and said: "Seventy percent." He is still very confident in himself, but he can't say things to death, he is used to leaving a little room for himself and others.

Ye Gucheng moved his eyes like stars, and suddenly changed the subject.His voice was still faint, with an indescribable emotion.It's just that this sentence was like a thunder on the ground, which shocked Luo Shiqi completely.It can't be said that it was unexpected or expected, but it was so sudden that he was a little caught off guard.

"I found my mother's handwritten letter. I am indeed your cousin." When Ye Gucheng said this, his face was expressionless, his eyes were slightly closed, and he didn't look at him.

"Ah...is it true? At first I thought that monk looked like a liar, but he was actually a high-ranking monk!" Luo Shiqi smiled brightly after he realized it. Ye Gucheng should not lie, so he has finished Ontology's wish?I didn't expect to find it so easily. It is definitely a lie to say that it is not easy.

I just don't know why, but my body doesn't feel too relaxed, and it's even not as good as when I first met Lu Xiaofeng.Probably because the body and the main body still have a slight connection, sometimes Luo Shiqi can slightly feel the remaining emotional fluctuations of the main body.And now... there seems to be no joyful feeling of wish fulfillment.

Shaking his head and putting this feeling behind him, Luo Shiqi said with a smile: "Then, should we also change the title?...Cousin?" It was really awkward to say it the first time.Luo Shiqi thought, looking at Ye Gucheng.

Hearing this name, Ye Gucheng was startled, something flashed across his face quickly, and then disappeared.

He gave a faint "um" and stepped into the room, but stopped abruptly at the door.Frowning slightly, he looked at the messy room, and his eyes fell on Luo Shiqi who was rubbing his nose in embarrassment.Without saying a word, he just turned around and left the room again.

"Clean up and have dinner."

Luo Shiqi looked at the messy drawings on his desk without tears, and resigned himself to tidying up the house.

It's just that he didn't clean up for long before he felt a strange but familiar fluctuation.The body's... soul?

Stopping the movement of his hands, he looked at a translucent and slightly blue soul stripped from his body, surprised and a little surprised at the same time——

Although he knew that the soul that was the main body would not disappear until he fulfilled his wish, he never thought that he could see it again.Could it be too happy...?He looked at the disgust on the still immature face, and the corner of his mouth twitched, thinking that it shouldn't be the appearance of thanking himself...

The main body spoke, and at the same time raised a hand to support his forehead, with a look of hatred.Although this action is only cute and funny in a childlike soul.

"Wuka, I'm looking for relatives, but I'm looking for dad!"

Wuka listened to the main body dumbfounded and continued: "I thought you would know. The one my mother asked me to find, and the one I want to find most, is of course my father. Otherwise, I would ask you to find one. It doesn't matter to me. What are you doing with your cousin? I didn't expect you to look smart sometimes, but you are so clueless in this kind of thing."

The main body jumped onto the table and sat down, with short legs dangling in the air, shaking his head and teaching Wuka, looking quite happy.

"Hey, look, I'm 17 years old, and Ye Gucheng should be in his 30s now? Do you know what I'm going to say?" He originally meant to say that if they were cousins, his age difference Some are too big.And he didn't look at him when he said it, and he thought it might just be a lie.

Seeing Wuka's suddenly enlightened look, Xiao Luo Shiqi felt that he should have made it clear, so he slipped away and got back into his body.

He can't come out very often, that would make him disappear sooner.

And if he knew what Wuka was thinking, he probably wouldn't choose to go back so soon.

Hearing Xiao Luo Shiqi's words, Luo Shiqi thought of the man from the Wang family who lived at the opposite door at that time, who was the first son he had at the age of 14.And he has always felt that Ye Gucheng is only in his early twenties, he looks too young.Didn't expect him to be over thirty.

Combining these two things, Luo Shiqi felt that he was the truth.The age difference is not too big, and the eyes that dodge when talking...

Luo Shiqi made a fist with his right hand and slapped his open left hand, feeling that the more he thought about it, the more this happened.

It turns out that Ye Gucheng is not his cousin, but his father!

Ye Gucheng, who was arranging dinner, suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and felt an inexplicable bad feeling.

After hastily packing up, Luo Shiqi rushed to Luonang Pavilion - he was already starving.

Ye Gucheng was already sitting inside waiting for him.After Luo Shiqi sat down, he was surprised to find that the table was full of his favorite food.There are Jiujiang sweet-scented osmanthus tea cakes that I ate last time, as well as dishes that I have praised, as long as I have mentioned them, I have everything.

He was in a daze, and instead of starting immediately as usual, he raised his head and looked at Ye Gucheng who was still calm.His expression was always calm, but the unobvious shallow concern in those eyes was more real than any smile.

With a warm heart, Luo Shiqi felt for the first time that fulfilling the wish of the main body was also a kind of luck for him, because he met Ye Gucheng.

He simply picked up his favorite dish with chopsticks and put it in the bowl in front of Ye Gucheng. Luo Shiqi smiled and said: "These are all my favorites, so you should try them too, they taste very good."

Ye Gucheng was taken aback for a moment, no one had ever acted so intimately towards him.His eyes fell on the bowl, and he said a little bluntly: "I used to eat it before." He was not too impressed with the taste.

Luo Shiqi looked at him and blinked: "The same dish, you will have different feelings when you eat it with different people. Don't believe me, try it?"

Ye Gucheng took a sip silently, and simply nodded.The taste... seems to be different, it should be an illusion.In other words, this person has the power to infect those around him.

He had never seen a person like Luo Shiqi, bright, sunny, always smiling, as if he didn't need to take anything to heart.The obsession with eating is just the enjoyment of life. Luo Shiqi never seems to have anything to worry about. He doesn’t need to be like himself. Apart from the sword he loves in his life, only the ambition of restoring the country entrusted to him by his parents remains.

I don't remember when I have only these two things in my life.Forget the smile, forget the ease.The burden of restoring the country is like a heavy shell, wrapping him heavily and deeply suppressing him.

He looked at Luo Shiqi's upturned lips, and felt an unprecedented feeling in his heart.It is wonderful and attracts him, but makes him feel confused and strange.

This feeling... what is it?
