I demonstrated while doing the operation, tying the rope with one end of the stick to the top of the bow wood.

Then I went and folded seven or eight small wooden sticks about 20 centimeters long.

I said to Kexin: "Okay, now that the materials are all ready, the following is the setting process, you have to keep your eyes open and look carefully." ”

But Xin saw that my expression was serious, so he imitated me, squatted on the edge of the bow, and watched me manipulate.

I pulled the bow down, grabbed a small wooden stick with my left hand that was used as a trigger rod, and said to Kexin as I did it: "Look, this stick tied to the rope should be like this, go around from the front of the bow to the back, the top of the bow is jammed, the bottom is stuck on the touching rod, and the touching rod must be placed behind the bow, only in this way can a touch mechanism be made." This touch mechanism is very coincidental and sensitive, as long as there is an external force gently touching it, the mechanism will be triggered immediately, and the bow wood will rebound, trapping the prey. ”

Ke Xin looked at it seriously, but it made her see that there was a problem, and said: "Your mechanism, it is a coincidence, but those prey, what are you doing when you have nothing to do with the bow and touch that touching rod? This probability is very small, right?"

I nodded and praised her, "Yes, it's quite spiritual, and I know how to connect with reality." Of course, it is unlikely that the prey will burrow into the bow and touch the triggering rod, but we can extend the touching distance of the triggering rod outward. ”

"You see, I can extend it up to the grassy path that the animal has to walk, and I'll need a few other little sticks. Let's call them horizontal rods, let's take one end of these horizontal rods and gently put them on this touch rod. ”

"Now you see, if the wild creatures step on these horizontal rods with one foot, can they also exert force on the touching rod and trigger the whole mechanism?"

Ke Xin nodded frequently: "Wonderful! Wonderful! But next, why do you trap the prey? The mechanism can be triggered, but in this structure, it seems that there are no parts that can restrain the prey!"

I raised my hand and slapped her on the head: "Stupid, I can't stand the praise! What are you doing with the rope in your hand?"

Ke Xin rubbed the rope on his hand and said, "Just rely on it to trap the prey?

I snatched the rope from it, and I had made a looper at this end of the rope, and then I threaded the string upside down into the looper, and made a lap the size of a palm, and I put the loop on top of the poles. He looked up and said to Ke Xin: "Now, isn't it okay?"

Ke Xin shook his head: "I still don't understand the principle." ”

I had to continue to patiently explain to her, saying, "Well, I'll try it and you'll understand." You see, my two fingers are like the feet of the prey, and I walked and walked and walked and walked and walked, and I stepped on the pole with a bang. ”

"You see, the trap was triggered, and the bow bounced back, lifting the rope up and lifting it into the air. And my hand happened to be stepping on this rope loop before, you see this, didn't you, just tie my hand?"

"The same is true for the prey, the foot stepped into the rope loop, triggered the mechanism, and then was rope looped a set, trapped its legs, and the whole child was lifted into the air by the bow wood, in the case of no up and down, the more it struggled, the tighter the rope sleeve will shrink, anyway, it can't break free, only obediently wait for us to come to clean up. Look, my fingers, just pull them like this twice, and they'll be strangled into the flesh, quick, help me untie them, my fingers hurt so much. ”

Kexin giggled and untied the noose for me, and by this time, she had completely understood, and stroked her palms and laughed: "It turns out that there is really such a miracle! Great, I will do a few more when I go back, so that there will be prey harvested every day!"

I poured a scoop of cold water on her: "Don't be so complacent, there may not be wild things in your trap every day." This kind of bow trap, trap birds, that's a set of things, but when it comes to foxes and mice, sometimes they may bite off the rope and escape. ”

But he was puzzled: "They are all suspended in mid-air, can they still bite the rope?"

I said, "This depends on which leg it is in the trap, if it is the front leg, it is usually easy for its mouth to reach the rope." The teeth of wild creatures are sharp, and few things can stand up to the grinding of their teeth. Okay, let's go, I'll leave this one here. Let's continue to set up sets in other places, you set them up, and I'll guide them!"

Kexin was at this time when he was energetic, and when he heard the words, he took the lead and went forward.

On the way, I explained to Kexin how to see the trajectory of the animal, which places have a high chance of catching the prey, and which places are unlikely to be visited by the animal, even if it is pointless.

Soon, we found a suitable path to set up.

I deliberately didn't interfere, and let Kexin operate it himself, and if I found something wrong, I would give advice.

"Your bow is too short, it's not long enough for the rope, so how can you hang your prey?"

Ke Xin's face was red, and he hurriedly lost the target in his hand and went to choose a bigger and taller tree next to it.

"Hard, sink the bow a little more, you will definitely be pulled up by the elastic force of the bow wood. ”

"Hey, hey, I told you, the stick has to go around the front of the bow to the back, and if you do the opposite, the consequence is that the prey will get stuck on the bow and can't bounce. ”

"Actually, if you want to disguise it better, you can first spread a layer of dead grass and leaves on the horizontal pole to hide this trap, so that it is easier for the prey to be tricked. Because some animals, goblins, will go around and not step on something different when they see something on the ground, so you try to get rid of the traces of the trap and make it look like the surrounding environment. No, no, you're going to put grass feathers to cover it first, and then put the rope loop!"

"You beware of a little bow wood, this thing is too elastic, and if you accidentally hit your eyes, you will be blind. In the future, when you come to see the trap, you should also be careful to walk, and don't step on your own trap. Of course, this thing is so small, of course people can't tie people when they step on it, mainly to prevent them from hitting people when the bow wood rebounds. Then you have to hurt. ”

I made several sets in a row, and Kexin's craftsmanship gradually became proficient. Choosing a place to find materials and build a mechanism or something, they are already quite proficient, and they are done quickly and standardly.

This is also thanks to Kexin, this girl is smart and studious, which makes me feel a lot of worry.

It didn't take long for the entire mountain to be covered with Ke Xin's own hand-set bow sleeve.
