Chapter 17: Li Laosan and the Wild Boar (II)
Li Laosan is worthy of being a professional hunting master, along the way, following the footprints of wild boars, walking and stopping, from time to time in the east and west, so that Lu You's head behind him was dizzy and lost his sense of direction.
I don't know how long it took, just when Lu You was out of breath, Li Laosan, who was running in front, suddenly stopped and made a silent gesture to Lu You.
This time, Lu You noticed that the expression on Li Laosan's face had become extremely serious, and under his thick eyebrows, a pair of eyes with a sharp light were staring at a place in the distance.
That look is definitely not the look that an ordinary farmer should have.
Following Li Laosan's line of sight, Lu You finally noticed the difference.
In a dense forest about two hundred meters away from them, at the root of a towering tree, the earth was tumbling, and a dark hole could be faintly seen.
Lu You's heart jumped immediately.
At this moment, Li Laosan's voice came from his ears: "After the wild boar comes out later, you will stand here and don't move, and don't be afraid! Everything has me!"
As soon as the words fell, Li Laosan's whole person had jumped out as lightly as a tanuki and quickly approached the cave.
Under Lu You's gaze, when Li Laosan approached the cave about a hundred meters, he slowly stopped, and then began to get busy.
The bundle of iron wire that was originally hung on Li Laosan's body was taken down, Li Laosan's hands moved quickly, his ten fingers danced, and in less than a minute, a simple net cover had been made.
Subsequently, Li Laosan fixed the finished barbed wire cover on a big tree with a vice, leaving only a mesh circle with a diameter of about one meter in the air about a foot above the ground.
After getting the first net set, Li Laosan quickly approached the cave seven or eight meters and continued to concoct it in the same way.
In this way, under Lu You's dumbfounded gaze, Li Laosan in the distance soon arranged one net after another on the dense trees around the cave, and there were more than 20 of them.
It's a real-life version of a death trap, and it's heart-pounding to watch.
Finally, when approaching the towering tree in the cave, Li Laosan moved more and more cautiously, for fear of making a slight noise and disturbing the wild boars inside.
Lu You, who was watching from a distance, had already raised his throat at this time, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Under his unblinking gaze, Li Laosan aimed the last net at the swarthy cave, and the size of the net was almost the same as the size of the cave.
After doing all this, Li Laosan seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief and winked at Lu You, who was standing and watching in the distance.
Before Lu You could understand, he saw Li Laosan at the mouth of the wild boar cave suddenly retreat a few meters, and then made a move that made Lu You stunned.
I saw that Li Laosan jumped up suddenly, stomped his feet on the ground overgrown with weeds, and let out a loud shout of spring thunder in his mouth: "Pigs, don't sleep! Get up and have a big meal!"
Bang!
As Li Laosan's roar fell, Lu You suddenly felt the ground under his feet tremble, as if something behemoth was shaking underground.
Then, as soon as the ground shook more and more frequently, and finally, with an angry roar, a swarthy head sprang out of the cavern.
Taking advantage of the frontal intuitiveness, Lu You clearly saw that the head that came out of the cave was a pig's head, but as soon as this head appeared, it happened to be drilled into the barbed wire trap.
Unbeknownst to him, the boar continued to run, revealing its body with a dark black mane.
This is an adult wild boar, about one and a half meters long, weighing about two hundred catties, especially the two white fangs in the mouth, exuding a palpitating light.
The next moment, the barbed wire tightened and was directly put around the neck of the wild boar.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Suddenly attacked, the wild boar suddenly let out a sharp cry, and four hooves like steel kept kicking on the ground, and in an instant, the sand and rocks flew and the earth rolled.
However, the harder the wild boar worked, the tighter the barbed wire fence became, and in the distance, Lu You, who was watching all this, finally understood why Li Laosan wanted to fix the other end of the wire on the top of the tree.
With the wild boar's crazy posture at the moment, not to mention the jam, even a slightly thinner tree will be directly broken by the terrifying force.
"Whew!"
Seeing that the wild boar couldn't break the barbed wire no matter how hard he tried, Lu You's tense heart finally returned to his stomach.
However, before his little heart could steady, suddenly, the mutation happened again.
I saw that in the dark cave, another dark head poked out.
The next moment, a wild boar of almost the same size rushed out of the cave, and a pair of scarlet eyes stared straight at Lu You's position, and rushed towards it......
That look, as if Lu You was its mortal enemy, wanted to step forward immediately and tear it to pieces!
"I'm grass!"
Seeing the wild boar coming out of the cave without saying a word, he stared at a pair of scarlet eyes and rushed straight forward, and in the distance, Lu You, who was originally watching, was suddenly startled.
The position where he was standing now was only two hundred meters away from the boar's burrow, and at such a distance, with the speed of the wild boar's rampage, it would only be twenty or thirty seconds at most.
Especially when Lu You caught a glimpse of Li Laosan standing lazily behind the wild boar cave out of the corner of his eye, not to mention the depression in his heart.
"Uncle Li, you bastard, pit me!"
At this time, if Lu You still doesn't understand what is going on, then he will be in vain as a former scholar.
This matter is clear that Li Laosan tricked him and made him a live target for a wild boar, with the angry mind of the wild boar at the moment, he will definitely regard Lu You, who is standing opposite, as a life and death enemy.
As for Li Laosan standing behind the cave, the wild boar didn't notice it at all.
"Boom!"
The ground was shaking, and the wild boar of more than 200 catties was like a moving hill, under the iron hooves, the soil was splashed everywhere, accompanied by a monstrous evil aura.
Lu You clearly saw that the wild boar had smashed into several barbed wire traps arranged by Li Laosan.
This simple barbed wire sleeve has obvious advantages and disadvantages, the advantage is that it is simple and easy to do, and it is easy to get started; the disadvantages are also very large, clumsy and dull, and only the animal's head will work when it hits the net sleeve, otherwise, it is completely ineffective.
Seeing that the angry wild boar was getting closer and closer, Lu You secretly greeted Li Laosan's ancestral female relatives in his heart, but his movements were extremely agile, he quickly turned around, used his hands and feet together, and climbed towards a big tree.
He was only halfway up the climb, and suddenly, there was a piercing wild boar scream below, and Lu You turned around in a hurry, and saw that the wild boar that was chasing him was trapped by barbed wire, struggling desperately.
Lu You breathed a long sigh of relief and touched the cold sweat on his head, although Li Laosan pit him, but the trap of this barbed wire sleeve is very useful, and in the case of a large number, there is always a time to play a role.
"Haha, boy, are you scared to pee your pants?"
Just as Lu You breathed a sigh of relief, Li Laosan's wanton laughter came from below.
Lu You resisted the urge to scold his mother, carefully observed the location of the wild boar's cave, and slipped down from the big tree when no wild boar ran out.
Ignoring the playful abuse on Li Laosan's face, Lu You's eyes lit up, staring at the two wild boars trapped, and his eyes went straight under the belly of the wild boar.
"Don't look at it, a male and a female, it's exactly a pair, your kid's luck is pretty good. Li Laosan approached.
Lu You immediately frowned, but then frowned again: "But, these two wild boars are so violent, how can they be brought to the village?"
"What's the hurry, just let these two beasts toss, and when they don't have the strength to toss, it's not too late for us to do it. "Li Laosan is good to take a long time.
"Hehe, it's worthy of Uncle Li, this experience is rich. ”
Lu You smiled and slapped a sycophant, and hurriedly took out a cigarette from his pocket and gave it to Li Laosan, and the two men were idly swallowing clouds and spitting fog in the woods.
After almost half an hour, the two wild boars were finally exhausted, and coupled with the increasingly tight barbed wire in their necks, the suffocation made the two wild boars open their mouths and pant like dogs.
"Boy, I'm only in charge of one, and you'll be in charge of the rest. ”
Seeing that the situation was almost over, Li Laosan stood up and stepped on the cigarette butt with his foot.
Lu You nodded, borrowed Li Laosan's axe, turned around and walked towards the woods, and after a while, he had already walked back with a bundle of tree trunks.
Laying the tree trunk on the ground, Lu You quickly tied the trunks one by one with rattan, similar to making a raft, and soon, a raft about one and a half meters wide and about two meters long was ready.
At one end of the raft, another rattan is tied, which is used to pull it by hand.
When Lu You was making the raft, Li Laosan had been watching from the side, and did not step forward to help, and after Lu You finished doing it, Li Laosan nodded and said: "Although the method is a bit stupid, it is better than nothing." ”
Lu You smiled bitterly: "No way, the wild boar is too heavy, I can't carry it at all." ”
"Okay, I'll help you tie the boar to this raft. ”
Li Laosan said, walking up to a slightly smaller boar.
Although the wild boar was dying, when it saw a human approaching, it immediately let out a threatening roar, and its mane was upside down, and its face was fierce.
"Brutes, they are all strong crossbows, and they are still strong!"
Li Laosan hit the wild boar's head with an axe, only to hear a "poof", and the wild boar fell in response.
Lu You was taken aback: "Uncle Li, you won't beat it to death, will you?"
Li Laosan grinned: "Don't worry, this beast just fainted, this is just convenient for you to transport later, and when you get home, pour cold water on it, and you will wake up immediately." ”
Lu You suddenly admired Li Laosan more and more in his heart.
Next, the two of them worked together to tie the fainted wild boar to the raft, and when everything was done, Li Laosan asked Lu You to go first.
Although Lu You was curious about how Li Laosan transported another wild boar home, he didn't ask much, thinking that Li Laosan must have his own methods.
Lu You's stupid bird flew first, put the rattan on his shoulder, and began to pull the raft hard.
Although this wild boar is slightly smaller in size and weighs at least two hundred catties, even if it is a raft, Lu You feels a little struggling, and his face is red.
Fortunately, the journey back to the village went downhill all the way, which could give Lu You some comfort.
"Thorn la la!!"
In the early morning, in the dense woods, there was a tooth-sore grinding sound, and a young man pulled the raft with great difficulty, like a coolie boatman by the sea, step by step, walking unswervingly.
"Hmph, hmph!"
He was struggling to walk, when suddenly, there was a roar of a wild boar behind him.
Exhausted, Lu You looked back, and suddenly, his eyes fell to the ground, and his face was full of shock.
I saw that behind him, a wild boar covered in ropes was running quickly, its huge body was dazzling, and it hummed endlessly.
Behind the wild boar, there is a burly man, who is holding the other end of the rope in his hand, allowing the wild boar to run freely, but the big man's body is as stable as Mount Tai, relaxed and comfortable.
The situation is like an old man and an old lady walking a dog in the park, except that others are walking the dog, but Li Laosan is walking a wild boar.
"My grass, Uncle Li, you are going to the rhythm of heaven!"
Lu You's eyes widened, his face full of adoration.
"Haha, boy, if you're envious, why don't you change them?" Li Laosan grinned.
Lu You immediately shook his head like a rattle, waved his hand and smiled bitterly: "Don't! I don't have the ability of Uncle Li." ”
"Then I'll go first, you kid hurry up, I'll be waiting for you in the village. ”
Li Laosan grinned, and in a blink of an eye, he had surpassed Lu You and went straight to the depths of the mountains and forests......
