Chapter 28 First Hunting
Deep in the forest, next to a small water bubble, Zhu Xuefeng was hiding in a tree. Hemp nets were laid between several big trees. Zhu Xuefeng’s products were scattered under the hemp nets. Come corn on the cob.
The animals in the forest will definitely come to drink water. If corn cobs are found, they will definitely...
This is based on the documentary method of trapping wild boar herds in later generations. Facts have proved that, It still has some effect.
This method allowed Zhu Xuefeng to capture two pheasants and a yellow sheep in more than three hours. Zhu Xuefeng gnawed on the steamed buns, sprinkled some chili sauce on them, and drank water from time to time. The steamed buns were still too dry.
Zhu Xuefeng's body is now in tatters, scratched in several places, and there are scratch marks on his arms and face.
It is indeed difficult to walk in this deep mountain. There are no roads at all in many places. They are full of shrubs, weeds, thorns and vines. It takes one lap to pass.
Zhu Xuefeng did not expect the difficulty of moving forward at all. He was not even prepared with a woodcutter. He only had a spear in his body, and the spear became Zhu Xuefeng's weapon to clear the way.
If you have the opportunity, be sure to prepare a knife, preferably like the Mo Dao, which can chop, cut, and open paths, and can also defend yourself and deal with wild beasts.
I was lucky along the way. I didn't see any bigger beasts. At that time, Zhu Xuefeng was a little suspicious of Uncle Niu's information.
I relied on spears to attack and forced my way forward, and finally found this place. I only saw this small blister along the way.
I really don’t want to move anymore. I guess I’m already thirty miles into the mountain. Niu Village is also separated by two hills. The chance of encountering wild animals should be higher if I go further.
It was really a race to the top of the mountain. It looked not far away, just two hills, but it took Zhu Xuefeng almost a day, and there were quite a lot of detours.
In the distance, a wild boar appears, and another one, and another one behind, and closer, a whole family is coming, and the biggest one is probably the head of a wild boar.
The first pig is obviously much larger, estimated to be over 300 kilograms, the two smaller pigs are estimated to be over 200 kilograms, and the other four or five are large and small, ranging from a few dozen to a hundred kilograms. They are all wild boar cubs.
This family is quite big, and I don’t know if the hemp net can bear it. Zhu Xuefeng was a little uneasy. He put away the steamed buns, took out the spear, and held it tightly in his hand. This was Zhu Xuefeng’s only weapon. His palms were a little sweaty. .
The wild boar group finished drinking water in Xiaoshuipaozi, but did not leave. It may be because the pig did not leave. They only saw the pig looking in the direction of Zhu Xuefeng. It must have smelled the smell of corn. This wild boar Still prefer it.
The big wild boar led the wild boar group in circles nearby, and it took a long time to find the right direction.
Led by the big wild boar, a group of wild boars came in force. In this forest, the wild boars had no natural enemies and were not aware of the danger at all. A group of wild boars quickly entered the ambush site.
The wild boars seemed to have no rules about who should eat first. They were swarming around the corn cobs, and no one was seen standing guard.
Several large wild boars have long tusks, which are different from domestic pigs. The pig's face is smaller and longer, not fat and has big ears. The whole body is covered with armor. This is the resin that the wild boar rubs on the trees for many years. The leaves, soil, etc., accumulated over many years, are very protective, so it is extremely difficult to kill wild boars from the front.
The wild boar family happily gnawed the bait on the ground. Looking at the situation, even if a few are leaked, it is difficult to reduce the pressure on the hemp net. It is too dense and there is no time to hesitate. It will have to be eaten later. No more, Zhu Xuefeng pulled the trigger.
Four stones fell from the tree at the same time. The stones were all tied with hemp ropes. The hemp ropes were connected to the hemp net, driving the big net to fly under the cover. The net was still big enough, and none of the wild boars escaped. in the net. The panicked wild boar exploded with great strength and rushed around in the net. Zhu Xuefeng did not hesitate and dropped the second net. The bigger the wild boar in the net was, the harder it struggled, and the more hemp nets were wrapped around it. It is even more difficult to get away, and it is getting tighter and tighter.
The big wild boar's constant struggle and collision made the hemp net more and more concentrated. Although the hemp net was big enough, there were still some loopholes. The little pigs on the edge could not move. , but now there is hope.
The hemp net was wrapped around the struggling big pig little by little, while the little wild boar was wrapped in less and less hemp net. Finally, the two little wild boars on the periphery successfully escaped.
Everyone else is struggling ineffectively in the net. Even the craziest wild boar cannot move in the increasing number of hemp nets. After a while, it loses the space to move and can only be captured obediently.
Zhu Xuefeng put away the small wild boars, carefully put them into the space one by one, and tied their limbs one by one in the space.
The last three larger ones were more troublesome. Zhu Xuefeng did not dare to get too close for fear of accidents. He circled around the wild boars. After trying for a long time, he finally lost patience and knocked them unconscious one by one. Okay. There is no way to hide from the wild boar.
After spending a long time, I hung up the net again, let out a long breath, climbed up the tree again, took out a boiled egg, and rewarded myself with something to eat.
At night, Zhu Xuefeng used fine hemp ropes to set up a net bed among the tree branches, close to the trunk, and tied two fine hemp ropes as safety ropes. Although it was awkward, it was safe. The night in the mountains in April was actually a bit cold, so he took it out Wrapped in a shabby quilt, fortunately my physical fitness has improved a lot, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stay at all.
It’s not easy to come here. It takes two days to go back and forth, and it will probably take another two days to enter and leave the mountain. Zhu Xuefeng plans to stay for a few more days, since there is enough food and grass anyway.
Early in the morning, with the sound of chirping, Zhu Xuefeng opened his eyes. It was another sunny day. The early morning sunshine passed through the dense woods and sprinkled dots on Zhu Xuefeng. There were so many birds, but it was a pity to catch them. No, if you have a shotgun, you can probably shoot them one at a time, and you should get a good harvest.
Untying the hemp rope tied around his waist, his body felt a little stiff. Zhu Xuefeng sat up with difficulty. After observing for a while, he climbed down from the big tree after confirming that it was safe to clean himself and relax.
I didn’t dare to stay under the tree for too long. There could be an encounter here at any time. Eat some breakfast and hurry up the tree. It’s still safer up there. Prepare the hemp net and be ready to harvest at any time. Then it’s the unbearable wait. .
There are usually no big ones in the morning, but there are quite a few pheasants of all kinds, but the mesh of the big net is too big to catch. Zhu Xuefeng watched the pheasants get out of the mesh a few times before and escape, not even having time to get off the tree. .
The smaller mesh is on the second layer. The big net cannot fall down, and the small net cannot fall down. This is a design flaw. It would be too troublesome to catch a few pheasants with both nets. It would be too troublesome to rearrange the nets. Next time, everyone is disappointed. They didn't expect these situations, so they have gained experience.
Seeing that there was still no big guy at noon, Zhu Xuefeng felt uncomfortable due to the sun, so he moved a tree branch, took out the kettle, and prepared to finish lunch while he was free now.
Another herd of wild boars came from a distance. Zhu Xuefeng dropped corn cobs again, waiting to open again.
Everything is still so perfect. After two layers of hemp nets are dropped, it should be a sure thing. Zhu Xuefeng lies down and quietly waits for the wild boar to vent its strong physical strength. With the previous successful experience, he can now watch calmly. The herd of wild boars let off steam.
The wild boars were still struggling wildly, looking for a chance to escape, but unfortunately everything went against their expectations and they became entangled tighter and tighter.
