249, arrange traps (two more)

"I knew I should have fixed it last night. ”

Chu An was very annoyed about Brother Pingtou, and when he returned to the cave to eat food, he didn't feel so delicious.

Quickly clean up the food on the table.

"When you're full, it's time to move. ”

Chu An boiled a pot of Sudanese black tea, took a sip of it beautifully, then picked up the tools and walked out of the door, sighing lightly: "Camping in the wild, especially in the kind of undeveloped place, the protection work at night must be done well." ”

"I have a hunch that Brother Pingtou decided not to be lonely tonight, this guy is a mad dog. ”

"But it has a plan, I've got a wall ladder and we can set some traps in advance. ”

"One is to ward off late-night visitors, and the other is to hunt prey for tomorrow's food. ”

While speaking,

Chu An took out a little food to use as bait and placed it next to the camp, digging a trap along the only exit route from the grotto.

the ins and outs

It took about an hour or so.

A row of improvised traps around the exit was made, like a trench, but less than 30 cm deep.

Then, Chu An sat on the ground, began to sharpen the bamboo sticks in the trap, looked at the camera with a smile and said, "Is the depth not deep enough?"

"Actually, I didn't expect these traps to do much. Their only role is to help me stall for time and serve as a warning. ”

"If you can catch some small mammals, it will be a bonus!"

Chu An suddenly picked up the sand cat, put his cheek on its hair affectionately, and said, "After all, I am not alone on this trip, and this little guy helps me keep vigil." ”

"Meow~~"

The sand cat wriggled and struggled out, jumped at the door, turned his head and glanced at Chu An with disgust, very humane.

"You're not happy with that little one?"

Chu An shook his head and smiled, took a bundle of bamboo sticks in his hand, walked outside, evenly distributed the bamboo sticks into the trap, and then sprinkled a thick layer of dead grass and barren leaves on the surface to act as a cover object.

"It's not early, but I still need to find one last thing before I rest!"

Chu An got up, carried a torch, and came to the nearby barren grass to look for it.

"We are about 300 meters from the stream, and as I have said many times in my previous broadcasts, the most poisonous thing in the jungle is not the big predators, but snakes, insects, rats and ants. ”

"There are definitely mosquitoes near water sources, and in other places, you might be able to get rid of mosquitoes by fire, but in a place like Africa, it's very difficult. ”

"Because of the environment, mosquitoes in Africa are extremely ferocious and extremely numerous, and they are also the biggest human killers in Africa, killing nearly 1 million Africans every year because of mosquito-borne malaria. ”

"But nature is so wonderful, often near the place where a species lives, there will be its natural enemies or nemesis, because this is the law of balance in nature, I know that there is a special plant near the source of water in Africa, which is called marigold in our Chinese area, which is a very good mosquito repellent plant. ”

"It's even better than wormwood and rosemary. ”

At this time, Chu An squatted down, pointed to an orange flower in the wild grass, and said with a smile: "Found it, it's it, don't you think it's very familiar, in fact, in Huaxia, many places will use it to make flower beds, but what most people don't know is that its petals contain a nasal smell, as long as you pick one and burn it directly on the fire, it can help you drive away mosquitoes." ”

This kind of wildflower is almost everywhere, Chu An picked more than a dozen in a row, and after taking it back to the camp, he put it near the fire, so that it will not burn very quickly, and the high temperature of the fire can also smoke the petals, so that it can give full play to its smell.

Later, he chatted with the audience for a short while, and it was off the air at about ten o'clock in the evening.

Chu An was lying in the shack, there was a thick layer of weeds on the ground, and the temperature in the mountain forest was low, but because of the bonfire, the temperature in the grotto was just right.

After a few simple words to the sand cat on the night vigil, Chu An slowly closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

Originally, he didn't have much rest in the baboon's nest last night, but when he wanted to rest today, he encountered the grassland fire again, and he was already very tired.

Outside, from time to time there would be a sparse rustling sound and the shouts of wild beasts in the mountains and forests.

It seemed to tell Chu An how dangerous the night in this place was.

However, Chu An has long been accustomed to this.

Because of the sand cat vigil, he can sleep very comfortably on this trip, and deep sleep has a great effect on the recovery of his spirit.

If light sleep takes eight hours a day to satisfy, deep sleep takes only five hours to meet the body's needs.

So, the night was fine.

…………

…………

In the early morning of the next day, when the live broadcast room was opened, everyone saw Chu An sitting by the fire, wearing an outdoor jacket that has not changed for thousands of years, but this jacket is estimated to be changed next time.

Yesterday's prairie fires,

The clothes on his body were burned through several scorched holes.

"Good morning, everyone!"

I saw Chu An under the camera, his body rotating on the front and back, he greeted the audience and smiled: "I have to say that the temperature difference between day and night on the mountain is even greater, and it is really cold in the morning, but fortunately my fire has not been extinguished." ”

The fire was baked for a while.

When his body warmed up a little and his body's functions returned to normal, Chu An picked up his weapon, walked out of the cave, and came to those traps that were set up last night to check and check the harvest.

"I slept very deeply last night, fortunately there was no accident, and Brother Pingtou didn't come to the door to look for trouble, which was really beyond my expectations......"

As soon as the words fell, Chu An suddenly felt like a fish in his throat, shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm still too happy, and I will never give up, and I will say that I am Brother Pingtou." ”

"Last night, it came, but it ran again. ”

Chu An squatted down and pointed to a collapsed trap in front of him, where a few bamboo sticks were missing, and there was a little blood stain at the bottom.

The audience in the live broadcast room asked curiously: "Master Chu, how are you so sure that this is Brother Pingtou, and it can't be other creatures?"

Seeing this barrage, Chu An said softly: "Because I can't think of any other animal except Brother Pingtou, who has such tenacious vitality." ”

"And we can judge from the size of the collapse that an animal of this size, with a few bamboo sticks stuck in its body, has been injured. ”

"If it weren't for Brother Pingtou, the sand cat would definitely catch up. ”

Chu An looked down at the sand cat, and said with a teasing smile: "Isn't it, you cowardly cat!"

"Meow~" The sand cat buried his head in his forelimbs in shame, this thing, can't it be over?

Seeing this, Chu An smiled even more happily: "Look, this guy has acquiesced!"
