Chapter 97: Cave in the Ground
"Alright, don't dwell on this anymore. The car has been built, Zhao Si went to pull the moose out and set the car, and today he went to the southern region to pick coconuts and seafood. ”
In contrast, I think this matter is more important.
The destruction of wild vegetables is certainly infuriating, but no one admits it and can't keep dwelling, life has to go on.
"Howler!"
After not going out for more than a month, Zhao Si was already itching, so he could take this opportunity to go to the beach for a walk.
Su Ye took people out, and Nie Chunxian organized people to take care of the vegetable garden, and the wild vegetables that could still be eaten had to be picked up.
After tidying up the vegetable garden inside and out, Nie Chunxian made an unexpected discovery.
"It's really a hole in the ......"
Looking at a hole in the corner, Nie Chunxian didn't know what mood he was in.
The other party came in with a hole, and it seems that it has been planned for a long time, but I don't know if there is a hole in the captive area.
Thinking of this, Nie Chunxian hurriedly took someone to check, and there was no hole in the place where the small animals were closed, but one was found in the place where the moose was closed, and the entrance to the cave was quite hidden.
"Xiaoqian, have there been fewer prey these days?"
"I don't know, I've been quiet lately, so I didn't care. ”
This hole was dug a few days ago, and if it hadn't been for the destruction of the vegetable garden, it would have been impossible to find it.
"Count the number of prey, make a record, and check it every day. ”
"What about this hole? Do you want to bury it?"
Nie Chunxian thought about it and forgot it, the other party probably didn't know that this hole had been discovered, and he would definitely come to steal things.
"Keep it, maybe you can catch that guy. ”
Southern Region.
The lower coconut trees are almost ready, the taller ones are out of reach, the tallest is about 17 meters, and I won't let you climb them without protection.
Of course, it is also impossible to cut down trees.
Zhao Si looked up at the coconuts on the tree, "It's a pity that I can't pick them, I can only wait for them to mature and fall off by myself." ”
Coconuts falling from such a high place can kill people, so for safety reasons, I don't want to stay under the tree for more safety, so I plan to see if there is any food that I haven't found nearby.
There are some coconut shells in the woods near the coast, and the coconut milk and coconut meat in them have long been eaten, and it does not look like a human eatery.
"What animal can bite a coconut open?"
Zhao Si picked up an empty coconut and looked at it, the opening on it was about the size of a fist, and it was not very neat.
"What a big spider!"
Suddenly, someone let out an exclamation.
Hearing the sound, a monster resembling a spider and a crab was eating coconut.
"It's a coconut crab!"
The deputy captain had seen this crab and recognized it at a glance.
I've only heard of coconut crabs, but I've heard that their claws can open coconuts and easily break people's fingers.
Tie it up with sharpened wood, this coconut crab is really big, a crab claw is about the size of a human fist.
"Can I eat this?"
Although the coconut crab looked a little scary, Zhao Si still wanted to ask this question.
I hadn't eaten this animal before, so I wasn't sure, and my eyes couldn't help but fall on the co-captain, only to see the latter nodding.
"I can eat it, but I usually eat it when it's baked, because it's too big to cook it in a big pot. ”
Since you can eat it, bring it back to the camp, there must be coconut crabs nearby, so catch a few more and bring them back to improve the food.
The most famous seafood is lobster and abalone, it is still early today and there are deer carts to transport supplies, you can get more food.
Abalone are usually found near some shallows and have a rock-like appearance.
"When you are looking for abalone, don't use your hands directly, use a stick to clamp it up and see it clearly before changing hands. ”
The co-captain also knows a little about this, and the shallows usually hide some poisonous animals, such as sea urchins.
Speaking of which, I haven't eaten abalone yet, because I don't have any money, and this thing is rich people's food with shark fin lobster and the like.
Wandering around the beach, I picked up seven or eight abalones.
At the same time, I also found a stranded shark, which was about 1.8 meters in sight.
I've never eaten crocodile meat but haven't eaten shark meat, so I just took it back to stew.
Camp.
Nie Chunxian took me to see the cave I found, there was a hole in the vegetable garden and in the captive area, and the entrance of the cave was like the entrance to the sewer.
"These people are quite smart, and they have thought of digging tunnels. It's like a groundhog. ”
"They expect to come back. ”
I nodded, "For the time being, just act as if nothing happened, and send someone to keep an eye on it at night." ”
Xiao Qian counted the number of prey, how many prey were slaughtered in the past few days are recorded, and you can find out what is missing by comparing it.
"Three sheep and two roe deer are missing. ”
The other party should have stolen several times, otherwise it wouldn't have been so much less until I found out.
"From tonight onwards, Zhao Si and a few of us will take turns to keep an eye on it, and if you find someone coming to steal something, don't alarm them at the first time. ”
Zhao Si nodded.
In order to catch the thief who steals, I plan to make several rope nooses, which are used by the farm to catch pigs.
All you need is a bamboo tube and a rope.
"Are your injuries healed?"
"What, you're worried that I won't be able to catch a thief but will be caught by a thief?"
Nie Chunxian nodded matter-of-factly, the men in the camp had all been injured before, and some of them had not been able to recover until now, and now they are afraid that it is a bit hanging to catch the thief.
"Otherwise, the task of catching the thief will be left to you women's army. ”
I think it's a good idea, it's time to get these out of the way.
Xiao Qian was a little scared, "I'm afraid this won't work." ”
Catching a thief is not catching a dog, the other party is a human being, and resistance means fighting.
"Why not? The other party is a human being, and you are also a human being, not to mention being a thief, you will win half of the momentum in terms of momentum. ”
Xiao Qian shook her head, "I'm still scared." ”
Nie Chunxian thought for a while, "It's useless to be afraid, if you can't fight with physical strength, then fight for intelligence." ”
"If you think so, I will prepare the tools for catching thieves, and I will leave the task of catching thieves to you. ”
This time, the men did not interfere, and the women had to learn how to deal with the unexpected.
The lesson from last time was painful enough, and I don't want the same thing to happen a second time.
Night falls.
Nie Chunxian and a group of female soldiers stared at the entrance of the cave in two ways, and the girls all looked nervous, holding sticks in their hands.
"Mr. Nie, I'm so nervous. ”
Xiao Qian took a deep breath, trying to calm her pounding heart and slow down.
Nie Chunxian was also nervous, but as the team leader, she couldn't panic.
"Don't talk, just focus. ”
On the other side of the vegetable garden, Chen Xinyi led the team, and I watched the situation from the watchtower of the camp, and the camp was quiet tonight, and the bonfire swayed in the breeze.
