"Oh my God!!! This...is such a big bow? Who can pull it open? What is the Marquis going to shoot with it? Shoot a rhinoceros?"

In the carpenter's shop, the idiot was staring at the newly baked big bow with his mouth open!

The thighs are as thick as ten feet long! Standing upright, it is as tall as two people, and the thick bowstring is as thick as a thumb! This is not a bow, even a bed crossbow is not this big!

And just be as big as possible, the materials used to perform the work are too unsophisticated! The most important part of the bow seems to be just a random piece of wood. It's even a little twisted when it's made. Can this be called a bow? Aren't you afraid of stretching yourself and breaking it?

"Is it possible that the Marquis is joking?"

As soon as this idea came up in my mind, it was immediately rejected by the fool.

Although he is not astute. But I also know that although my Marquis may sometimes be out of tune, he never does useless work! Now that he has done it, there must be a reason for what he did!

Just when the idiot was still looking dull and thinking wildly. Xiao Han stretched out his hand and pulled the bow string, then scratched his head and said to the old carpenter waiting on the side: "I remember that this set should also have a wooden cake, yes, and a wooden hammer like an oil bottle!"

"Wooden cake? Wooden hammer?" The old carpenter looked at Xiao Han, and he was a little confused at this time. I thought to myself, what on earth is the Marquis doing this morning? How to make something weird and weird?

But doubts remain doubts, and the old carpenter’s hands were unambiguous! After hearing what Xiao Han said, he immediately took the charcoal pen from his ear and drew two pictures on a nearby piece of wood.

"Master Marquis, does it look like this?" The carpenter stopped writing and pointed at the picture and asked Xiao Han.

Xiao Han came over to take a look and immediately said happily: "Yes, yes! That's it! Add a handle in the middle of the wooden cake, this oil bottle... Bah! Make the wooden hammer bigger!"

"Okay! Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon!" The old carpenter skillfully put the charcoal pen on his ear, trotted outside, and began to pick up suitable wood.

While the carpenter was busy, the idiot quickly came to Xiao Han's side and asked Xiao Han, who kept stroking the giant bow: "Master Marquis, hey, what are we doing with this?"

"Play cotton!" Xiao Han knocked on the bowstring and replied without looking back.

"Playing cotton, what is it?" The fool became more and more confused as he listened.

"Don't ask nonsense!" Xiao Han glared at him impatiently, and then said: "You'll know when you wait? Oh, that's right! I just asked you to tell Xiaodong to take out all the cotton to dry. Come on, did you say that? Tell you, if you make me stink, see how I deal with you!"

"Ah?" The idiot was stunned for a moment, then said unwillingly: "That's not right, how can you deal with me? I told him early in the morning! If he doesn't bask in the sun, or doesn't bask in the sun well, wouldn't it be unlucky for me?"

Xiao Han said jokingly: "Humph, I can't control this! You'd better pray that he does better! Oh, and that silly dog, how is it now?"

Looking at the somewhat unreasonable Xiao Han, Lengzi sighed helplessly and said feebly: "Okay, you have the final say! I have already thrown Xiaoqi into an empty room according to your instructions. He didn’t even give me anything to eat. It’s said that he kept shouting all night last night and the people in the next room couldn’t sleep well!”

"You still have the nerve to bark? Then let it bark happily! No need to open the door! Let it starve for three days!" Thinking of Xiao Qi, the fire in Xiao Han's heart started to rise!

Deserve it! One after another, I ruined my good deeds! If you're not hungry, you can't help but feel sorry for yourself all night long!

The two people were chatting, but the carpenter over there was doing his job very efficiently.

After a while, the wooden cakes Xiao Han wanted were made with a wooden hammer. Use sand and gravel to roughly remove the burrs. Before the carpenter could polish it carefully, Xiao Han was already eager to carry it away.

It’s not for your own use anyway, so why make it so perfect?

Holding a wooden hammer in one hand and wooden cakes in the other, Xiao Han quickly returned to his yard.

In the yard, Xiao Dongzheng and Xiao Lian were carefully drying the cotton that Butler Lu had brought over.

"Where's Xue Pan?" Xiao Han put down the things in his hands, strode over, squatted down and looked at the cotton.

The cotton seeds snatched back by Liu Hongji are indeed very good, and the cotton produced is free from insect pests. It is white and placed on the straw mats pieced together. From a distance, it really looks like winter. It's like a snowy land.

"I've met Mr. Marquis, Miss Xue, he just went out..." Xiaodong bowed out of habit. When he raised his head and was about to speak, he suddenly saw a fool carrying a giant bow into the yard at the courtyard gate. , I was dumbfounded for a moment! What is this for? To slay a dragon?

"Master Hou, you guys..." Xiao Lian also saw Lunzi at this time, and was even more surprised. She covered her mouth and pointed at the grinning Lunzi and asked Xiao Han.

Xiao Han had expected this in his heart and was not surprised. I felt like I was surrounded by a bunch of rubes, who had never even seen a cotton bow! What do you know about this?

"What are you all making such a fuss about? It's just a cotton bow! I can't explain it to you. Xiao Lian, go to the house and find a few thin quilts. After a while, you'll get the cotton. Let's make a few quilts first!"

"Oh, yes..." Xiao Lian nodded in agreement, then walked back to the house step by step.

Xiao Han was not idle at this time. He asked Xiaodong to move a few tables and put them together into a large tabletop in the yard. He then picked up some dry cotton from the ground and placed it on it.

"Okay! Now it's time to play! But the question is, how to play this thing?" When everything was ready, Xiao Han saw that the cotton was in trouble. He couldn't play cotton!

"No matter what! Practice brings true knowledge! You fool, bring me the bow!"

After patting his head and cheering himself up, Xiao Han yelled to one side. The idiot who had just put down the giant bow immediately sighed, picked up the bow again, and moved over step by step.

By the way, although Xiao Han had never seen anyone playing cotton before, the movie "Smart Escape" was at the bottom, and these three instruments were actually made in a decent way.

Looking at this big cotton bow, Xiao Han roughly guessed its correct usage.

So Xiaodong and Lengzi were asked to lift the giant bow together, so that the long bow just spanned the tables.

"Down, down again! Okay!" Instructing the two to put the bowstring close to the cotton, Xiao Han picked up the wooden hammer and struck it hard!

"Boom..."

The bowstring trembled wildly and cotton splattered everywhere!

Holding the wooden hammer, Xiao Han lowered his head and looked at the cotton, but found that there was no effect. Thinking that it might be because he knocked too little, he swung the wooden hammer in his hand and hit it one after another. The sound of bowstrings in the yard immediately sounded. There was a loud noise!

At this time, outside the courtyard gate, two people and a dog were happily walking up the steps.

No need to ask, these two people are Xue Pan and Xiao Ai.

I slept so soundly last night! When they got up, the sun was already high, and Xiao Han had already run to the carpenter's shop.

They were not surprised when they didn't see Xiao Han. After washing themselves and eating some breakfast, the master and the servant decided to go out for a look. It was because of this that they saved the man who had been howling all night. Xiaoqi...
