Chapter 3 Traps
"Boss, how do you sell this iron clip?"
"Which one do you want?"
"The smallest. ”
"That's a mouse, an eight-dime. ”
Although it is a mouse, it is also fifteen centimeters in diameter, which can also be used to clamp rabbits, badger pigs and the like, and the most important thing is that the small clip is cheap, which is the only hunting equipment that Guo Qu can buy now.
This is a businessman who sells small things on the street, generally speaking, he does not bargain, Guo went to buy five iron clips, and then bought four iron chains, the boss saw that he bought a lot, so he gave him another iron chain, and Guo went to six yuan, and there was nothing left.
There are a total of five iron chains, just one iron clip and one iron chain, so that Guo Qu can be regarded as a satisfied home.
When you get home, fasten the chain to the iron clip and take the fork used to light the fire in front of the stove.
The so-called fire fork is an iron fork similar to a slingshot mounted on the front end of the fire stick, because most of the firewood burned in the countryside is hay, pine needles and the like, so there is such a thing as a fire fork.
After Guo went to carry Xiaojing on his back again, he walked to the mountain while it was still dark.
He had to set up the trap before it was dark and the wild creatures were still afraid to move in the light, so that he only had to go and see the trap in the future.
After walking for twenty minutes, I came to an acre of corn soil, put the girl on the side of the road, and walked to the path that the badger pig I found yesterday must pass.
After arranging the iron clips, he tied five iron chains to the green oka tree, and threw five or six sweet potatoes with wet mud around the five iron clips, and then carefully eliminated the traces left by him, and then returned to the road.
In this way, as long as the wild thing is interested in sweet potatoes, it will definitely step on the iron clamp, as long as it steps on the iron clamp, it will run in a panic, and then step on another clamp.
As long as you step on two clips, then you are doomed to the fate of wild things!
"Pots and pots. ”
At this time, the sky was already dark, and the sound of the wind blowing the pine needles was particularly desolate, Xiaojing was inevitably a little scared, she reached out and grabbed the corner of Guo Qu's clothes, and screamed again, which made her feel a little safe.
Guo went to wash his hands in the ravine on the side of the road, then picked up the girl, put on his back pocket and walked home.
Everything will be seen in the next two days, but if there are no wild animals caught tomorrow, there is little hope, and his hard work will be in vain.
"Is Xiaojing afraid?"
"Afraid~"
"Afraid of what?"
"It's dark. ”
The girl couldn't say what she was afraid of, and she held back for a long time before she said "it's dark".
Back at home, it was already completely dark, and his grandfather was cooking hot rice and vegetables.
The rice is still seventy percent cornmeal and thirty percent rice, because if you don't do this, there will be no rice in the second half of this year.
As for the dish, in addition to cabbage soup, it is potatoes, and of course potatoes can be made into potato chips, shredded potatoes.
If you are tired of eating these things, then there is potato rice, anyway, the most eaten all year round is potatoes, and there is very little meat to eat until the New Year's holidays.
The girl eats very little at every meal, think about it, even Guo Qu can't eat corn mixed rice, the girl is only two years old, so naturally she can't eat it for a long time.
If it weren't for the hunger, it is estimated that the girl and Guo Qu would not even look at it, but it is ridiculous that many people in the city in later generations are willing to spend money to eat corn rice, which Guo Qu, as a countryman, can't figure it out.
Hope is all pinned on those five iron clips, Guo Qu is sixty percent sure that tomorrow will be a "bumper harvest", which is the confidence he has gained by stepping on it in the past few days.
There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Guo Qu got up, and the girl was still asleep.
He had to go up the mountain early, because if he was late, the clip would be quietly taken away by the others, even if it caught wild things. In that case, the gains outweigh the losses.
Thinking that the girl would have to sleep for about an hour before she woke up, he didn't wake her up, and went up the mountain alone, carrying his back bag.
Looking at the place where the trap was laid yesterday evening from afar, my heart was half cold when I saw that there was no movement.
However, he held his breath and walked quickly to the side of the cornfield, Guo Qu, who had good eyesight, saw at a glance that the iron chain was straightened and exposed to the grass, and he was overjoyed, and at this time he was 100% sure that the iron clamp had caught something!
Quickly through the cornfield, the swishing sound made when both hands pushed away the corn leaves that stood in the way, as if something had been alarmed, and the thorn bushes behind the cornfield suddenly shook rapidly.
Guo Qu was happy again in his heart, he knew that there was going to be a bumper harvest today!
The mountainous land is not as flat as the northern one, because the mountainous land is basically full of weeds and trees behind it, and it is a mountain forest, and his clip yesterday is installed in the mountain forest.
Walked behind the cornfield, lowered his back pocket, took out the fire fork with one hand, and stretched out the other hand to pull the straightened chain.
The iron chain is a little heavy, this is not the weight of the iron chain itself, Guo Qu made a hard effort with his left hand, and pulled the iron chain back a little, but he didn't have time to increase his strength, and he was driven by the iron chain and fell into the thorn bush, regardless of the pain of being stabbed on his body, he was happy again, because according to the other end of the chain, the force transmitted showed that it was a big guy!
The chain bypassed the large stone, and the large stone blocked Guo Qu's view.
In order to ensure his safety, although he was looking forward to it, Guo Qu was not in a hurry to see what wild thing it was, but went to see a few other clips, and finally he found that the wild thing stepped on three clips!
No wonder he pulled the chain just now, but the wild thing didn't make a big move! It seems that he has been caught by the clamp a long time ago, and before he came, it is estimated that the wild thing has done everything he can, and now he has given up on escaping.
Guo went to climb to the top of the big rock, and saw the rough gray fur at a glance, coupled with the pig-like head, and he was already sure in his heart that this was a badger pig!
Luck!
Although it is only forty or fifty catties visually, it is very rare for a badger pig to have this weight.
But the question is, how do he get it back? He's less than ten years old, does he have that much energy?
After thinking about it, for the safety of his own life, he still decided to kill the badger pig, and then drag it back, as for carrying it with his back pocket, it is estimated that he will have to rest for a while after walking a few steps, because fifty pounds is too heavy for him, and his right leg is just ......
Holding a fire fork in one hand and a chain in the other, he had to determine the range of movement of the badger pig after being limited by three clips, so that he could safely exert a violent aesthetic on it.
After deciding, Guo went without saying a word, and directly inserted a fire fork into the badger pig's neck.
The badger pig went crazy instantly, but the iron clamp restricted its movement, and its movement made Guo go startled, and he pulled out the fire fork and withdrew far away.
Then I found a few stones that could be moved, and threw them at the badger pig's head, and after getting it for a long time, the badger pig always died.
PS: Thank you brothers for your support, to be honest, in order to write about the wild animals realistically, I have been in the mountains for the past few days, looking for traces of wild boars. Yesterday, I encountered a five-step snake and was instantly scared half to death.
By the way, I would like to ask for a recommendation, a recommendation, and a vote.
