Chapter 74: Impulsiveness
As Tong Chen got closer and closer to the place where the trap was arranged, suddenly, he heard something in front of him, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he hurriedly ran to the place where the trap was set.
The trap actually caught the prey, but this prey Tong Chen looked strange, this is an animal with short limbs, a large head and a thick neck, the body hair is black and white, the tail is also very short, and the appearance looks a little like a little pig.
However, at this time, Tong Chen did not have time to take a closer look at the animal, and the branch he had buried in the soil as a stretch saw that it had been gradually pulled out by the struggling prey, and the rope was still locked on one of its front legs.
When setting the trap, although Tong Chen had noticed this, and the branches were not shallowly buried, he obviously underestimated the power of the prey, if the prey pulled the branch out, it would not be so easy to catch it.
Looking at the prey with teeth and claws, Tong Chen was a little timid for a while, he was a little afraid of being bitten off his finger as his parents said when he was a child, but he soon made up his mind, now is not the time to be merciful and timid, especially at this time, the mercy of the prey, that is the cruelty to oneself, either you die or I die.
At this moment, Tong Chen regretted in his heart, before he came, he didn't prepare any tools, and now even if he holds a branch in his hand, it is much stronger than empty-handed.
When the prey saw someone coming, he struggled more anxiously, and roared a strange cry from his mouth.
After Tong Chen used up the stones used to dig the pit before, in order to make the trap look more hidden, he packed them all up and threw them aside, and in an instant, seeing that the prey was about to pull out the branches, Tong Chen gritted his teeth and pounced on it empty-handed.
"Plop", Tong Chen pounced, and the pig-like prey escaped at the last moment with a bundle of branches.
"Damn".
Tong Chen scolded angrily and hurriedly chased after him, the boiled duck actually flew, is there anything more annoying than this.
Tong Chen, who was extremely weak, even had to struggled to walk, but at this time he exerted his extraordinary performance and ran at the speed of his usual running, but the prey ran not so smoothly, and the rope of the front foot carried the branches behind him, so his speed was greatly limited.
Tong Chen's speed gradually approached the prey, but the development of things was not so smooth, he still did not catch the prey immediately, Tong Chen chased with all his might, and the prey didn't run away desperately.
Tong Chen knew the rope he had woken himself, and he knew very well that if he continued like this, the straw rope that bound the prey would not take long to break, and all his previous efforts would be wasted.
Thinking of the consequences of failure, Tong Chen couldn't accept it, he gritted his teeth and chased after it again with the last bit of strength, seeing that the branches dragged behind the prey were getting closer and closer, he tried to step on it with his right foot, but this small bundle of branches was like a flexible little snake, and Tong Chen never stepped on it every time he stepped on it, making him feel like crying without tears.
Damn, don't you want to torture me so much, don't you have to work so hard to catch a small animal, chance!
Tong Chen secretly sighed in his heart, and took advantage of the moment when the branch was blocked by a stone on the ground, he instantly stepped on the branch firmly, and the prey's front hooves were unevenly forced, and he fell to the ground.
Tong Chen didn't dare to be distracted, he pounced on the opportunity, one leg pressed the lower body of the animal, and his hands also firmly controlled the head of the prey for the first time, but he knew that the biggest threat to prey between life and death was their sharp teeth, which was also their biggest reliance.
Sure enough, as soon as Tong Chen's hands landed on the head of this animal, it struggled to scream and wanted to bite this human who wanted his own life, and the terrible scream made Tong Chen feel more and more that he was a bit of a beast, but he quickly suppressed his own unbearable, and between his eyes scanning left and right, Tong Chen picked up a stone next to him, raised it and smashed it down...
The next picture is a little inappropriate for children, and Tong Chen feels that he has been hard to forget for a long time, in short, after this last action, he feels that he is exhausted, he can't take care of the dirt all over his body, his chest rises and falls, and he lies on the ground and rests slowly.
After resting for a long time, Tong Chen recovered a little, looking at the prey he had captured, he couldn't hide his excitement, the hard work paid off, in the past few days, he finally got food, and then, Tong Chen found a few pieces of stone and began to clean up the prey, although the process of sorting out the prey was laborious, but at this time he was still more passionate.
When it was almost time to clean up, it was almost night, but Tong Chen was confused again in a blink of an eye.
In the process of disemboweling, Tong Chen saw the appearance of this animal clearly, but he still didn't see what kind of animal it was for a while, he tried to search for all the animal names in his mind, and finally he guessed that this was probably a badger, a badger that used to be called a badger that plagued the crops.
What can be done with the bloody meat? The only water source found is also polluted, and this kind of water can't clean the meat, wait, let's wash it with this water, it's just to use it to clean, not for cooking, and I don't drink this water, but it should be fine to clean it, and the water doesn't stick to it, Tong Chen comforted himself.
After a simple cleaning, the badger meat looks much more pleasing to the eye, but Tong Chen is still not happy at all, although he has caught the prey, but he still has not made a fire, even if he has food, how can he eat it, this is also one of the painful things in the world.
If there is no fire, then light the fire, looking at the meat in front of him but not eating it immediately, which made Tong Chen bored, he took out the tools that made the fire before again and began to drill wood to make fire.
The sound of rustling and grinding lingered in his ears again, Tong Chen puffed up, and the whole process did not stop, and ten minutes later, a dazzling fire appeared in front of his eyes.
Quickly ignite the wood prepared before, the fire was finally successful, many attempts before were unsuccessful, and now it is a success like this, Tong Chen's indescribable feelings in his heart, is this considered luck?
The next thing is what Tong Chen is most willing to do, burn the fire, set up the herringbone rack, put on the badger meat, and wait for the delicious food to be baked.
In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the canopy had completely darkened unconsciously, and Tong Chen sat by the fire, enjoying the warmth of the fire and the delicious taste of badger meat, even if there were no condiments.
This is the life that people should live, the previous life was simply inferior to beasts, a turning day, Tong Chen sighed at the change in circumstances, he was still cold and hungry a few days ago, in the blink of an eye, how could he have thought that there was a fire to roast and meat to eat at this moment.
It is worth mentioning that most of the badger's body is red meat, which is particularly firm to eat, but it has not undergone any treatment, and the fishy smell is also not light, but for Tong Chen with an empty stomach, this is not the same thing at all.
After eating almost two catties of meat, Tong Chen reluctantly stopped the movements on his hands and mouth, for a person who has been hungry for several days, two catties of meat in his stomach, he didn't feel very full, and he just felt almost.
This is Tong Chen's better self-control, some things he feels almost, when the point is over, he will let himself obey the instructions, such as eating meat this time, although he still wants to eat a lot, but reason tells him that an empty stomach is not suitable for eating too much meat, just stop in moderation, otherwise, it will backfire.
