Chapter Seventy-Four: Hunting and Traps
Putting a bunch of cassava into his backpack, Liu Danqing looked at the sky and suggested: "It's still early, let's go a little further inside and see if we can find some vitamins or fats." ”
The other three naturally have no opinion, anyway, it is Liu Danqing who is carrying cassava.
Continuing forward, it is almost the three-way intersection of the creek, Liu Danqing pointed to the intersection more than ten meters in front of him, and introduced.
"Here, two streams merge into one and run towards the sea. Therefore, the waterhole here is the largest, and at the same time, fish and shrimp and other resources are also the most abundant. ”
"Now, I'm going to do two traps here, hoping to catch some small fish and shrimp. ”
"The material of the trap is these two large plastic bottles, looking at the shape, it should be a 1.25-liter carbonated drink bottle, I can't see what the specific drink is, the label is long gone, and the lid is not, of course, what it originally contained has nothing to do with me. ”
"I'm going to use a dagger to cut the top end of the bottle, about a third of the way, and then turn the cut upside down, with the mouth of the bottle inward, and stuff it into the middle of the bottle, so that a basic small fish and shrimp trap is ready. ”
"If attracted by the bait, small fish and shrimp will drill into the bottle from the mouth of the bottle, and then, it is easy to go in and difficult to come out, after entering, the small fish and shrimp will find that the original big opening is gone, and it is difficult to get out of the bottle with their urgent IQ. Next, let's make another one with another bottle. ”
"The bait was three earthworms that I had just dug up when I was digging cassava, and I wrapped them in a leaf of a taro plant, and now I'm going to do one thing, cut the earthworms, and the viewers who don't like it can turn their heads for a while. ”
Liu Danqing cut the three earthworms into a total of 8 sections and put them into two traps.
Fan Bingbing looked at Liu Danqing and directly used their "kitchen knife" to cut earthworms, looked at him with disgust, and said: "Master Qing, can't you use other earthworms to cut earthworms?
Liu Danqing grabbed the back of his head, poked a few small holes in the bottom of the trap with a knife, dipped the knife in water, and rubbed it on the trunk of the tree on the side a few times.
"Sister Bingbing, don't care about these details, earthworms are also called earth dragons, which are a good source of protein when surviving in the wilderness, and now there are people who specialize in breeding earthworms and provide them to restaurants for cooking. ”
"If there is a lack of food, if you can find earthworms, don't waste them, but don't eat them directly, earthworms have a lot of dirt in their bodies, not only disgusting, but also with some harmful substances and bacteria and viruses, the best way to use it is to cut one end of the earthworm, use a small branch against the other end, turn it over, clean it and eat it. ”
Fan Bingbing's face turned pale when he heard this, and he said with difficulty: "Master Qing, don't say it, I'm going to vomit if I say it again, vomit!"
Li Daniu's face was also pale...... Belch...... His face turned pale, and he looked sick to his stomach.
It's Xiao Weiwei, who has already done a good job of building her heart, and there is nothing unusual at all, I don't know what the reaction will be when I really want to eat it next time.
The audience had mixed reactions:
"Xiong Er gave Danqing and Weiwei a fighter jet - Qing Ye, eat one, I'm looking forward to it!"
"╰ Fall~ Fall* Give Danqing and Weiwei an aircraft carrier - Master Qing, you are so disgusting, vomit, I don't even want to eat dinner. I felt sorry for Fan Ye for an hour. ”
"The big potatoes of the small potatoes gave Danqing and Weiwei an aircraft carrier - what a contradiction, it was a little heartbreaking to see Fan Ye's face pale, but he inexplicably wanted to see Fan Ye eat earthworms. ”
"The tone is not obvious, give Danqing and Weiwei an aircraft carrier-Qing Ye, don't just say that you don't practice, no one is allowed to eat the entire earthworm banquet tonight. ”
In the end, this person obviously didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and he really wanted Liu Danqing's old life, so he ate earthworms for Fan Ye's big cow, and he couldn't go back to the street without being bricked.
Liu Danqing saw the faces of the guests and knew that it was not appropriate for him to talk about earthworms anymore, so he changed the topic.
"Let's not talk about earthworms, you see, I poked a few small holes in the bottom of the bottle of the trap to make the smell of earthworms better disperse in the water. Earthworms are very fishy, especially when cut, which is very good as bait, so many people like to use them when fishing. ”
What about talking about earthworms? Fan Bingbing gave him a blank look, but after his attention was turned, the nausea slowly dissipated.
"In running water, it is more difficult to attract fish and shrimp, so we have to count on these small holes to continue to release the fishy smell and attract fish and shrimp to come. ”
"Now, I'm going to find two suitable places to lay the trap, the first one is here, first of all, there is a drop of about thirty centimeters five or six meters up, and the water rushes down and splashes the water, so that it can bring a lot of oxygen into the water, attracting microorganisms and fish and shrimp, and secondly, there is a large tree with lush foliage next to it, which provides shade, which is also where aquatic animals like to stay. ”
"We put the first trap here and pressed it with stones, and then we found another place, which is also good, there are many gaps in the bottom of the water, and it is also a place where fish and shrimp like to stay, and we put the second trap here and also pressed it with stones. ”
The other three watched Liu Danqing busy there, and quickly put the two traps in place, and couldn't help but praise them.
Li Daniu waited for Liu Danqing to get up from the creek and asked, "Master Qing, can you catch a fish if you put a trap like this?"
Liu Danqing immediately opened the Qingye lecture hall and introduced it.
"As long as there are fish and shrimp, it is possible to catch them, in fact, fish and shrimp can not get out of this trap, and it may also be related to their memory, it is said that the memory of fish is only five seconds, so after they go in, they find that they can't get out, they may be anxious, but after five seconds, they will start to think about who I am? Where did I come from? Where to go? Next, they may find that the trap is quite good, and it is quite comfortable to live, so they will not leave. ”
"In survival, it is natural to involve the problem of obtaining food, and animals generally need to obtain it through hunting, which is divided into active hunting and passive hunting. ”
"Active hunting is to find the prey and capture it, as we do now. ”
"Passive hunting is to set traps according to the surrounding environment, the resources at hand and the habits of animals, to see if they can trap or kill some animals to obtain food supplements. ”
"One of the things about surviving in the wilderness is to never put your hopes in one hunt or one type of hunting, especially passive hunting. ”
"We can only see traps as icing on the cake, not as charcoal in disguise. If you only pin your hopes for prey on traps, then the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, in addition to hunger, that kind of disappointment is also a big threat to survival in the wilderness. ”
Xiao Weiwei also nodded on the side and said: "Well, in the eighteenth village, we mainly rely on canned beef and beef jerky, and we also caught two snakes, if there are no two snakes, we will also find a little fruit, eat fruit is not hungry at all, the stomach growls for a while, and then we are hungry again, and then we are hungry again." ”
Liu Danqing continued: "When you go to a place, if you have the conditions, you must understand the ecological environment and animal and plant information there, so that you can help yourself develop more labor-saving and effective hunting methods." ”
"For example, if you find a trail that a wild beast has stepped on, then you should judge the type of wild beast from the traces, hoof prints, etc., combined with your own knowledge, so as to choose the type of hunting or the type of trap. ”
