Chapter 19: Hunting
The old fox, the deputy captain, hesitated for a long time and did not answer.
I'm getting a little impatient, I still have a lot to do today, and I don't have that much time to grind with him here.
As soon as I turned around, the co-captain finally spoke.
"Little Brother Su, I thought about it carefully just now and felt that what you said made sense. ”
I glanced back at him and ignored him.
I don't care who he wants to take, even if he takes them all, I don't have a problem.
Except for Nie Chunxian......
To be precise, in addition to beautiful and well-established beauties, he will take whoever he likes.
There are three things that are most important for survival in the wild: fire and shelter, and food.
In the wild, you need a lot of exercise, so you need plenty of food as a source of energy, and the best and most important of them is protein.
In the woods.
"There was a torrential rain in the first two days, and there will definitely be rainwater accumulated in the soil pits or stone crevices, which are all fresh water, and if you find it, mark it and come back to get water. ”
I said to Nie Chunxian as I walked, and I felt the need to let her learn the knowledge of survival.
"Listening to you, it looks like you've been in the wild a lot before. ”
Nie Chunxian casually brushed aside the branches that were blocking the way and said with a smile.
Xiao Qian and a few female colleagues followed behind with a basket, and after listening to Nie Chunxian's words, they became even more curious about Su Ye's past.
"That was a long time ago, so let's not mention it, I'll set up a few traps in a while to see if I can catch rabbits, roe deer or something, and then you can go pick wild vegetables and fruits. ”
Xiao Qian nodded, she couldn't set a trap to hunt them, but it was still difficult for them to pick wild vegetables.
With the lesson of Xiaoqian's poisoning by eating wild vegetables by mistake last time, several girls became extra careful this time, and they did not pick any wild vegetables they had never seen.
I walked through the forest like a wild wolf, just looking for a suitable place to set a trap, and Nie Chunxian followed behind me.
If it weren't for waiting for her to catch up, I might have thrown her away.
"The place is nice. ”
After about five or six minutes of searching, I found a suitable place to set a trap.
Seeing me squatting down, Nie Chunxian bent down with some curiosity and found that there was a passage between the two stones, about the width of his thigh.
"Why is this the right place?"
Nie Chunxian's slender index finger tapped his lips and asked very seriously.
I looked up to tell her, but I saw two clumps of snow-white soft flesh at her slightly low neckline, with a deep furrow squeezed out of the middle.
I have long guessed that this girl is very material, such a close observation, I didn't expect it to be so material, I can't hold half of it with one hand......
I don't know which stinky boy will be cheaper in the future.
Quietly swallowing a mouthful of saliva, I lowered my head and stopped looking at the charming scenery, feeling that if I continued to look at it, my nosebleeds would definitely spurt out.
"Animals, like humans, are efficient and choose convenient passages when foraging. The passage between these two stones is like a natural highway in the forest. So it's a good idea to set a trap here. ”
After hearing this, Nie Chunxian nodded as if he didn't understand.
That's when I found some footprints, just a little in front of that aisle.
I measured the size of the footprints with my fingers.
"What kind of animal footprints are these?"
Nie Chunxian felt that what I was doing was very novel, and couldn't help but ask questions.
"It could be a honey badger or a skunk, or it could be a fox. ”
I think it's probably a skunk, and the meat is delicious, but it gives off a foul-smelling liquid that makes you vomit out your lunch three days ago.
So I silently prayed in my heart not to be a skunk.
I took out the dagger and handed it to Nie Chunxian, "You take a knife, find a relatively smooth tree and scrape some bark, I will use it to rub the rope." ”
Nie Chunxian took the dagger and nodded.
I went to look for a few bouncy willow branches, which I had seen on the way here.
What I'm going to do is a spring trap with a trigger system, because the prey type won't be too big.
After an hour or so, I set up five or six traps. Nie Chunxian also blushed a little, it was hot. Although there is shade in this forest, it is very hot.
"The trap is set, but it's passive hunting, and you have to hunt actively in the wild. ”
I cut down two small trees the thickness of my arms and made two spears. Hand one of them to Nie Chunxian.
"Are you going to use this for hunting?"
Nie Chunxian held the spear and felt that he was a bit like an Indian at this moment......
"Sort of, but it's more for self-defense. There may be wild boars or other animals in the forest that can hurt people, so we two need to be careful. ”
Nie Chunxian was a little excited and a little scared after hearing this, this is the first time he has done this kind of thing, he won't be unlucky to run into a wild boar, right?
Not long after I walked, I found a pile of feces.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that I wasn't leaving, Nie Chunxian also stopped.
I crouched down and stared at the pile of dung, which was already dry, and I picked up a twig and turned over the dung.
Nie Chunxian's face changed when he saw it, and he frowned and said, "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"There's some undigested berries in there. ”
Nie Chunxian pinched his nose and said, "What does this mean?"
I threw away the branch and stood up and looked around.
If I'm not mistaken, this dung is left by bears, and black or brown bears like to eat berries. But I didn't say this guess, I was afraid of scaring Nie Chunxian.
But this was almost two weeks old, which is good news.
But it also reminded me that this place was once infested with a black bear, or brown bear.
"It's nothing, let's not go inside, go back and see if there's anything to be gained from trapping. ”
Although Nie Chunxian was a little confused, he still nodded and turned around with me.
Towards evening, we returned to the camp, this time the hunt was not bad, we caught two roe deer, and Xiaoqian and the girls also picked a basket full of wild vegetables and a kind of green wild fruit.
"What is this?"
I picked up a green fruit and smelled it, it was a bit pungent, a bit like lemon.
Xiao Qian blinked her eyes and said with a smile: "Little Brother Su, this is a lime, haven't you eaten it?"
I touched my nose and smiled, "I really haven't eaten this before." ”
"Ceviche is a good dish, but unfortunately there is no fish. ”
Xiao Qian licked her lips and said, she couldn't tell that this little girl was still a foodie.
The two roe deer are grilled over a fire, and the limes are used as a condiment.
There were seventeen or eighteen people left in the camp, but less than half of the people who went out hunting with me.
The aroma of roe deer meat came out, attracting the rest of the camp to come over......
