Rise of Rurik

Chapter 243: The bow burst

All the girls who have been summoned have exceeded one hundred and fifty!

Most of them were Rurik's maids, as well as a group of Ostara refugee girls. In addition, it is the girls of the Ross tribe.

A very real problem faces many tribal families. Since Rurik is treated equally, why not do it by sending his girl to training for half a day and getting two pounds of fish at the end of the morning? In this way, their sons and daughters can get the reward of Rurik food, which is equivalent to reducing their own financial burden.

Rurik knew that those families who once waited and watched would send their youngest sons after they realized that they could make a fortune, and the number of boys and girls under their command would increase.

From the current point of view, due to the control of the "big money box", Rurik is not worried about the financial problems of the tribe, but there are too many children on welfare. To maintain the welfare of eating every day, he must complete some urgent tasks. The innovation of the tribe, the money from the tribe to feed the children of the tribe.

Uncovering the economic potential of homesteaders and starting to establish a tax collection system, these changes have officially begun.

What about the kids? Rurik intends to mobilize them to do some voluntary labor that is beneficial to the tribe, but they are still too young.

If everyone is generally ten years old, or even the so-called adult twelve years old, they really need to organize them to do more things. For example, the boys were organized to log and build, and the girls were organized to rub hemp rope or weave cloth and sew leather.

Until then, they still have to learn.

Rurik developed a plan to organize children's studies during the long winter.

study what? They had to learn the Roman alphabet, using its pronunciation principles to spell the Norse dialect of the Rus.

They must learn mathematics, and even some physical knowledge, chemical knowledge.

Rurik simply hoped that his clansmen would become smarter. Of course, he couldn't hope to explain things that were too advanced for them to understand. It would be best to simply explain some simple but particularly useful knowledge.

It was another three days of training. Many girls had bald fingers, and they still enjoyed it. After all, their daily life had little entertainment.

Archery instead became a fun entertainment. They will also gradually become good at and even proficient in the entertainment, from understanding archery.

Rurik is not a real archery coach, there are a lot of real coaches here,

That's Yevlo and a few of his buddies.

Gould dispatched his mercenary unit of archery masters, so-called good hares hunters.

A disgruntled man named Fraser became the coach of a group of girls, and his task was not only to accept Rurik's appointment to become a teacher, but also to select a group of archery masters from the girls.

The best girls will be reused by the master!

With the release of this news, those girls with ambitions for the future seem to have taken stimulants. A group of girls are the most diligent in training, just hoping that they can have excellent archery skills and be loved by their masters.

Almost all girls believe in a possibility.

Because a man can have multiple wives. According to legend, the best of Odin's Valkyries is the wife of the gods.

The first ten maids in Rurik are the ones who are training hardest here, not to mention that there is another kind of crisis for them.

All ten of them are from Novgorod, and they are all from White Tree Manor. The other girls are all Varyag women.

They belonged to the minority in the crowd, but because they came early, they enjoyed the care of the master in advance. In other words, it is still top-level care, which can be reflected from the gold-patterned silver medals with their names engraved on them.

If you want to hold on to what you have now, you must continue to struggle, you must do your best in archery, in order to get the attention of the master. Even, upgrade to a wife.

The ten girls were small but not stupid. When some girls retreated because of the bald skin in their hands, these ten girls were still practicing. Since they had to do the work of processing soap as usual in the afternoon, they paid special attention to the opportunity to practice archery in the morning.

Rurik lived there too.

"Ah, it's my first girls who are most attentive. At least you're not just trying to get enough to eat, you really want to be my Valkyrie? Okay."

However, on the fourth day, a wooden bow suddenly burst!

The cracked sawdust was inserted into the girl Bella's small hand, and the whole left hand was stained red with blood.

"Bella!" Rurik, who was watching the supervisor, shouted her name and rushed over immediately.

Seeing the master rushing over, the onlookers instantly gave way.

Compared with other servants, the girl Bella belongs to the nobility.

Everyone is Rurik's maids, and there are only ten maids who have silver medals inlaid with gold inscriptions, and these ten people are dressed more appropriately and beautifully.

Psychologically, Rurik also cared about ten of them.

"Bella, are you alright?!"

Rurik said this, and his eyes saw a bloody trail on the girl's left hand, blood and red hands.

Even though the injured left hand was tightly covered by the girl, the blood was still dripping slowly.

"Masta! Bow! Broken. Sorry! I...it's my fault." Bella apologized hard, her eyes welling up with tears, whether it was guilt, pain, or both.

At this time, even Anna hurriedly explained to her sister: "masta, it's really not her fault. The bow was split by herself."

"Yeah, masta! We can all testify." Sicia also stood up to protect her sister, her eyes full of pleading for mercy.

Are they sisters? Rurik was satisfied, but they seemed to think they would punish them.

Rurik put his little hand over Bella's head, smiled reassuringly and said, "I'm not blaming you. You're injured now, get your right hand away."

"Yes Yes!"

Bella slowly let go of her hand, and Rurik was proud to see the full picture of the wound.

It looked like the hard wood chips were like wooden knives, causing her serious wounds.

From the perspective of this time and space, a wound that runs through almost the entire back of the hand is already a fatal injury!

In this era of no antibiotics, even when people's hygiene concept is weak, a purulent infection caused by a palm-sized wound is enough to kill a person. Unless the body of the injured person has a very strong immunity, but a person with such a strong immunity must at least eat enough nutritious food on weekdays.

Poor girl Bella was much better off.

She eats high-quality meals and works on weekdays, and her physical fitness is quite good. Moreover, the Rus tribe of Rurik already has anti-inflammatory drugs that can be used.

The girl was full of pain and guilt, and Rurik had to continue to soothe her with words for the time being. Fortunately, her wound was not deep, and the current flow of superficial venous blood. Yin Hong's blood flowed a little, and the wound was gradually blocked and closed by coagulation factors, which meant that her body's self-repair had started, and the next most important thing was to kill bacteria to avoid wound infection.

"Bella, be strong. You are my female warrior, and it's good for you to endure the pain now."

"Masta! I... I'll persevere," the girl said reluctantly.

"Continue to cover the wound first." After that, Rurik called the coach Fraser, and immediately pointed to the oak bow that broke into two sections on the ground and said, "What's going on? Your master gave This is the bow I provide? Why don't you provide me with a good bow?!"

Fraser also looked helpless. He turned his head and immediately found a good reason: "My little master, we have been using this kind of bow. But, which hunter will pull it a thousand times a day? Even the most A good bow needs to be used in this way, and sooner or later it must be discarded."

"Really?" Rurik deliberately put on a questioning look.

"Yes." At this time, Yevro came close, stood up for his former buddy, and told Rurik to the end: "Every bow usually ends in a crack. Like a warrior, he longs to die. On the battlefield, so that the soul can go to Valhalla. If the bow has a soul, it wants this to end as well."

Why does this man speak so eloquently? Rurik nodded, he fully understood what the two were saying.

In the final analysis, every use of any machine is wear and tear, and this is one of the important reasons why it is impossible to create a perpetual motion machine in the world. When the wear reaches a certain level, the machine will stop running.

The bow is also a kind of elastic machine. Every time the bow arm is stretched, it accumulates fatigue and produces small cracks, which will eventually break after a certain use, or simply explode the bow.

This bow cracked, what about the others? Rurik estimated that he was still carrying more than a hundred children like this, relying on a few bows to shoot arrows continuously, and within a few days, these bad wooden bows were all turned into firewood.

Training is still required, unless it is replaced with another elastic material. Rurik already had a brilliant idea.

But now, dressing Bella's wound is what matters.

Right in front of everyone's eyes, Rurik lifted up his leather jacket, pulled at his sackcloth shirt, and tore out the sackcloth strips with all his might. He personally used it as a gauze bandage, and personally gave Bella a bandage.

Bella was moved to tears.

The excited cry of a little girl was like an arrow piercing Rurik's heart.

Is she my servant? Do not! She is more like my student, an important female student of mine.

In Rurik's mind, the first maid, Rumia, was destined to become a loyal high priest. The remaining ten maids must also represent their own will and govern some necessary civilian departments in the future.

The girls of the so-called Valkyrie Corps must participate in battle when necessary, but they will not be used first in battle. Luckily for these girls, Rurik intends to give them all an errand in the future.

Among them, the maids who were numbered with ABCD at first, they can now receive extremely high treatment. It is better to get the attention of the master Rurik first.

Looking at everything that happened now, Carlotta couldn't figure it out, Rurik actually cared so much about a servant? !

For a while, Carlotta looked at Rurik, who was soothing, with her right hand covering her left, and a thought came to her mind: Why wasn't I the one who was injured!

After bandaging her wound, Rurik said casually, "Anna, Sicia. Take Bella back to the dormitory! Remember, wash her wound with regular soap, boil this sackcloth in a pot, and then put the The wound is covered. The three of you will stop making soap in the afternoon and rest in peace."

An unspecified vacation?

But Bella was not happy at all, she said reluctantly: "masta, I... I have to work. If you don't work, you don't deserve to eat. This is our agreement, isn't it?"

"That will also wait for you to heal. Your wound is very serious and even threatens your life. Now only I can save you, listen to me and go back to rest! I will visit you and give you further healing. "

Bella bowed slightly to Rurik with tears in her eyes, and walked towards the dormitory accompanied by her two sisters.

Their backs drifted away, and Rurik clapped his hands vigorously: "Don't look any more! Continue training! Remember to protect your hands."

This thing seems to come to an end?

It's just the beginning.

The girls' training is truly military training by any means, so it's not surprising to get injured during training.

Rurik didn't want to console himself by saying that he wouldn't die in a bloody battle.

The result now is that one of his most cherished maids was injured, not because she handled it improperly, but because the so-called weapon quality was too poor. Even if there is a reason for "mechanical fatigue", it cannot hide the badness of the inferior oak bow.

No, in the afternoon, Rurik carried the fragments of the cracked wooden bow, and accompanied by Yevlo and coach Fraser, found Gould who was taking a nap and asked him to commit the crime.

Gould came to the council room with a drowsy head and met Rurik who was angry.

"My little master, what makes you angry?"

"Look." An angry Rurik pointed to the wooden bow fragment that had been thrown on the sandy ground in the longhouse.

"what is this?!"

"The bow you provided! It cracked and even wounded my servant. My servant was badly wounded and may even lose a hand."

"Ah? So serious?!" Gould's drowsy head instantly woke up. He is a wise man, knowing that his entire family has voted for the Ross tribe, and now he must obey the Rurik who is destined to be the future leader.

"Really, very serious."

"Then...then what can I do for you?!" Gould asked in a panic. In fact, he had already instinctively thought in his mind that he was afraid that the child was here to ask for money.

"Give me five hundred silver coins for my servant's treatment."

"Ah? So much? The bow will never break apart..."

"That's my woman!" Rurik burst out, facing Gould's perfunctory and questioning at this moment, he was really angry. "Your broken bow hurt my woman, I have been very kind and only need you to pay five hundred silver coins. Are you not satisfied?"

The child's woman? Gould subconsciously thought that it might be the two Ostara girls who were injured.

"You have to give money. As well as our previous agreement, you continue to make wooden bows. But you have to be careful. If the bow breaks again and hurts my woman, you will still have to lose money."

"You!" Gould held his breath, he wanted to scold Rurik for playing cards out of the way, and he had to sigh that after joining the Rus people, he seemed to be unable to help himself.

Gould also noticed that Rurik wasn't even interested in the dried raspberries marinated in honey on the table, and the kid was really angry.

In desperation, he had to send someone to take five pounds of silver and hand it over to Rurik, but he had to express his regret in person.

Rurik felt a little dark when he got the money. He was a little timid and had to be very strong to strengthen his courage. Can't think of Gould's cowardice all of a sudden? As a result, I got a sum of money, and this is more than half a month's meal cost for the boys and girls that I have on hand.

Bella used her injury to exchange food for her brothers and sisters for half a month, which was also worthwhile.

Is it really worth it? Do not……

Rurik left, and Gould immediately grabbed the collar of his men: "Frazer! Say, what happened?!"

"My lord. There was a girl injured, but not Ostara's girl," Fraser said timidly.

"Huh? Who is that?" Gould let go of his hand and looked suspicious.

"A girl with a gold and silver medal, called Bella."

Gould understood in an instant: "Isn't that also a servant? Rurik, you... you are so concerned with servants? Bah, I think you still want to take the opportunity to make some money from me."

Archer Fraser hurriedly asked: "Sir, are you angry? But he is..."

"So what?" Gould shrugged, looking into Fraser's eyes: "You can make bows. Now you go and teach your brothers to make bows. Remember, if the bow breaks again, you lose the money. to bear."

"This..." Fraser didn't know what to do for a while.

"Get out of here! Don't disturb my lunch break." Gould just kicked Fraser's calf, and then went back on his own.

Rurik hurriedly returned to the dormitory for the servants. As agreed, Bella was lying on her bed, covered with a leather blanket, and her palms continued to be tied with sackcloth.

Anna and Sicia were indeed instructed to take care of her.

Rurik brought back Rumia, who was grazing, and he had a treasure in his hand—a bottle of spirits.

Gould gave Rurik all the ale that had been brought in, which was then moved to the blacksmith's shop. Up to now, the Kavalililia couple have returned to their hometown to visit relatives, and the servant Kamne has actually undertaken the production work. Kamne was already working on distilling spirits, and as a result, the kid was able to rely on the distiller, too, to make spirits that could burn.

Even the kid, with Clavason's help, was able to operate the air bag blower and blow the bottle against the mold.

Rurik now hopes to have hydrogen peroxide, iodophor, or topical anti-inflammatory drugs like ofloxacin on hand.

The two magic weapons that Nai He has at hand are the spirits of soap.

Soap only cleans wounds once, and its corrosive nature makes it only one use.

The only reliable anti-inflammatory drug here is spirits.

Rurik turned into a doctor in an instant. He took off Bella's sackcloth and saw the full extent of the wound.

As Bella gritted her teeth, Rurik wiped the girl's wound with strong alcohol.

"Rumia, pray for your sister! Quick!"

Bella's sister was sweating from the pain, and Rumia, who was overwhelmed, was woken up by Rurik.

The so-called treatment, three points of treatment and seven points of comfort. The sick and wounded in pain need psychological comfort the most, and Rumia's prayers comforted Bella.

Rurik finally stopped, and he did not bandage the girl again.

"Anna, do you see this bottle? It's full of good wine that can burn." He casually ordered the maid: "I'll wipe your sister's wounds tonight. And you! Scia. Remember, this kind of Wine can kill some invisible ghosts, and it can completely save your sister's life. Wipe her down tonight and again in the morning."

"I understand." The two said in unison.
