On the twenty-sixth day, rabbit hunting
I woke up when the sunlight shone through the cracks in the branches around the hut. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I feel like my body is hollowed out, that's what it feels like!
The headache was much better, and I could see things clearly, but all the strength of my body disappeared without a trace.
Struggling to get up.
"Huh?"
"Blackie!" I called out as I called out to me.
Before I could walk out, Xiao Hei appeared at the door.
I was amazed that it was able to move around.
When Xiao Hei walked, his injured hind legs were cocked, but he also walked very steadily.
It must have been lying bored too, and probably because the wound was starting to heal, it also started to get up and walk around today.
But I can feel that Xiao Hei is still very weak, and he has obviously lost weight.
I should be looking for something for it, nourishing it, these fruits alone are definitely not enough.
So I've got to go out today and get some meat for Blackie.
The first thing I thought of was a rabbit, but I wasn't sure, so I had to try it.
Xiao Hei didn't follow, originally he wanted to follow, but I was afraid that it would pull the wound, so I drove it back.
I walked very slowly, not only because I was weak, but also because I was thinking about how to catch rabbits......
To be honest, I'm not sure.
I went to the river to have a good drink, and then I picked up some rattan and a few resilient branches in the woods.
Then I walked towards the Rabbit Valley, which was still a little far away, and when I came to the mouth of the valley, I was already out of breath, and I had rested several times along the way.
The alert rabbits in the valley had spotted me, and after a burst of chickens and dogs, they hid in their own caves.
I was far away, but I could see very clearly.
I tried to learn from the slipknot set I had seen on TV, and I wrapped the vine into a circle, and I made a loophole on one end of the circle, and then tied the other end to a branch, and I stuck the branch outside the rabbit's nest, and then the looper was placed at the door of the rabbit's cave.
As soon as the rabbit's leg trips over this live buckle, I think it should struggle and be tied tighter.
Then I was able to complete the task, and I really admired my hands-on skills.
In order to make the trap look more realistic, so that the rabbit would not see it, I also covered it with a layer of grass.
Next, I had to wait, and I left myself and waited quietly near the valley mouth, hiding in a pit on the side of the mountain.
The wait was long, and the rabbit did not emerge after a long wait.
Before I knew it, I was asleep.
When I woke up, the sun was still in the westerly position overhead, but fortunately it didn't last long.
At this moment, my sleepiness was gone, and I looked in the direction of the trap, and to my great annoyance, several rabbits were grazing beside the trap I had made, and while I was looking, there were rabbits jumping up and down on my trap.
"Damn!" I said angrily.
I walked towards the trap, and the rabbits saw that I was coming down and hid again.
I was very disappointed to try the trap a few times, it was completely useless and required a very hard pull to tighten.
Do rabbits pull? Of course not!
So it wasted my time in vain.
Xiao Hei is still waiting for me to help him roast rabbit meat and make rabbit soup, but until now, I haven't found anything.
I angrily pulled out the completely useless trap and threw it aside.
I'm useless!
But anger comes and goes quickly, and as soon as the anger leaves, my mind returns to its normal state.
I started thinking of new ways to do it.
It didn't take long for me to come up with another idea.
I really haven't done a lasso, but I used a trap to catch birds as a kid.
At the mouth of the valley, I brought a large stone that was slightly flat, and a gravel the size of a palm, and then I crossed one end of two branches and placed it on the palm-sized gravel, and then I used a slightly longer branch to press it between the two branches, and then I used the slightly longer branch to lift the large stone with the slightly longer branch.
This trap is a concise version of the bird trap, as soon as the rabbit touches the branch that is pressed against the gravel underneath, the slightly longer branch will be offset, and then the large rock will fall down at the same time, and the prey will be crushed if it is too late to run.
I'm pretty sure of this trap, I've caught a lot of sparrows with it before.
Rabbit, I guess it's not that hard.
Then it was another long wait, and I hid in the same place I had just now and started waiting again.
The vigilance of the rabbits was so hard for me that they began to emerge from their burrows one by one just as I almost fell asleep again.
In a large area, they run freely and happily, eating and chasing.
However, I was so anxious that not a single rabbit came near my trap!
As you can imagine, I was very upset.
"It's coming, it's coming!" But at this very moment, a rabbit was grazing all the way in the direction of my trap.
"Come more, come more!" I was praying, I was getting impatient to wait, I didn't ask for much, I just needed a fat rabbit, enough for me and Blackie's dinner.
If this trap fails, then I really don't have any other plans, and I don't have time.
As a result, when I was still about a meter away from my trap, the rabbit ran away......
"Alas" I had to sigh.
Maybe I really have to go home empty-handed today.
"Wait a little longer. I persuaded myself.
After about thirty minutes, two more rabbits jumped towards my trap.
One of them was supposed to be a foodie, and he ate all the way to the bottom of the trap, sticking his head under the big rock, and eating the tender green grass with relish, but luckily it didn't touch the branches.
But the other one was not so lucky, of course, because as I saw just now, it was all under the big rock.
The boulder hadn't been pressed down yet, but I knew it was going to be soon.
"It would be nice if I could get two at the same time! I can ......"
Before I could finish thinking about it, a muffled sound of "plop" came into my ears.
The trap is activated!
The other rabbits on the side were scared to all of them when they saw this kind of scene.
I excitedly rushed towards the trap.
I was very nervous.
When I was still a little away from the trap, I saw the rabbit with its head pinned down, its hind legs still kicking intermittently......
"Whew" I breathed a sigh of relief, at least I don't have to worry about being empty-handed, after waiting for a while, the big boulder was lifted by me, and there was really one below, killing two birds with one stone, I was very proud.
"It's all human, hahaha. ”
Carrying two rabbits, I was talking to myself excitedly!
