Chapter 403: Poachers
The length and width of this trap are about two meters, but the depth has reached three meters, the mouth is small and the belly is large, and there are dozens of sharpened bamboos densely inserted below.
"Who dug this trap? Damn, don't even make a mark? ”
Looking at the situation below, Ye Tian couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead, if he stepped on the air, he would fall into it, although the bamboo might not be able to kill him, but injury was probably inevitable.
Because of following the ground snake Hu Hongde, Ye Tian had not released the qi machine to sense the danger before, and at this moment he knew that in the primeval forest, there was also a hidden killing machine.
"It's poachers, I didn't expect them to dig a trap here, I don't know what is alive or dead."
Hu Hongde is also angry, although he sometimes goes into the mountains to hunt, but just to satisfy his appetite, he never sells these prey, and the number of hunts is also very limited.
But professional poachers are different, from flying dragons in the sky to roe deer tigers and black bears, they catch everything, whether they are dead or alive.
Large traps like those presented in front of Ye Tian and Hu Hongde are aimed at large beasts such as tigers and leopards.
If you look closely, you can see that the length of the bamboo is particular, but it can pierce the belly of the tiger without hurting the fur on the back, and those poachers can be said to have good intentions.
"How dare you put a trap on my territory? I don't have time to clean them up now, and when Xiaoxian wakes up, I'll settle accounts with them! ”
The overlord of Changbai Mountain has never been the Siberian tiger in the mountains, but these hunters who live around the mountains, before and even for a long time after the liberation, Hu Yunbao is recognized as the king of Changbai Mountain, and no one dares to challenge his status.
In the seventies and eighties after Hu Yunbao's death, Hu Hongde was also famous in Changbai Mountain, and among the thousands of old visitors who hunted or collected medicine in Changbai Mountain, only Hu Hongde dared to enter Changbai Mountain empty-handed.
In addition to hunting the fire fox, Hu Hongde once killed tigers and leopards with his bare hands, and there was no one who didn't give a thumbs up when his name was mentioned.
However, Hu Hongde has always adhered to a principle, that is, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, the surrounding hunters hunt animals for food, he never said anything, even if you kill a tiger to soak in tiger bone wine and drink, Hu Hongde has no right to see it.
But if it is an organized hunt for wild beasts in the mountains and selling them for profit, Hu Hongde will not sit idly by, and the poachers he has sent to the forestry police station over the years have more than a dozen people.
Although these people hated Hu Hongde to the core, they were helpless in the mountains and they were no match for Hu Hongde at all, so the mountains around Hu Hongde's wooden house were generally not poachers.
But the appearance of this trap today shows that those people have put their claws into Hu Hongde's territory, if it weren't for the concern for his granddaughter, Hu Hongde would definitely not give up.
"Ye Tian, wait for me for a while, I'll fill this hole!"
With a gloomy face, Hu Hongde took a short sapper shovel from his back, and filled the pit with the dirt that those people had dug out and hidden in the dead grass next to him.
This delay is more than half an hour, after finishing the work, Hu Hongde looked at a golden pocket watch on his waist, and said: "I don't have time to pick ginseng today, the time is relatively tight, Ye Tian, you go behind me, be careful that there are traps ahead." ”
"Okay, be careful, too."
Ye Tian didn't have the ability to follow behind Hu Hongde, but this time he released his qi and sensed the place where the road ahead could bring him a sense of danger. ..., along the way, three traps of different sizes were found one after another, as well as more than a dozen hunting clips for hunting large animals, and once if it wasn't for Ye Tian's quick reaction, the big yellow dog almost fell for it.
"Let Lao Tzu catch these people, I have to skin them!"
Hu Hongde's face was already blackened, and the other party laid many traps so blatantly, obviously he didn't take him seriously, which made Hu Hongde, who was full of words in Changbai Mountain, feel a little unbearable.
"Lao Hu, control your anger, let's find the Soul Rejuvenation Grass first, don't be in a hurry to dig ginseng today, when Xiaoxian wakes up, I'll accompany you again!"
Ye Tian patted Hu Hongde on the shoulder, and his heart was also full of anger, the traps laid by these poachers did not have any hints, where was it simply for the beasts, even people were counted in it, it can be described as ruthless.
"Okay, since they like Changbai Mountain so much, let's all stay here."
Hu Hongde's eyes showed a murderous aura, but it was a real fire, there is a father like Hu Yunbao, Hu Hongde is naturally not a good stubble, and the lives of his subordinates are not one, the mountains here are high and dense, kill a few people and throw them into the valley, and the gods can't find it.
"Well, there's a stupid roe deer that has been caught, let's roast roe deer meat and eat it at night!"
In a place where the beast trap was placed, Ye Tian saw the roe deer for the first time, this thing was a bit like a deer, but it was a little smaller, and it was grass yellow, and it was difficult to identify it lying in the dead grass.
The roe deer was clamped by the leg, Hu Hongde didn't talk nonsense, stretched out his right hand and pinched the roe deer's neck, and broke its neck, opened the beast trap and took it out, and threw it on his shoulder.
"Let's go, no matter how late it gets dark, you can't go back."
Due to the delay in dealing with the traps and those beast traps, it was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the place where Hu Hongde said that there was a rejuvenating grass growing.
Coming to the foot of this mountain, Hu Hongde pointed to a stream not far away and said: "Ye Tian, that's there, donkey splint likes warm and humid climate, is resistant to waterlogging and drought, and is generally born on shady slopes, grasslands and rivers. ”
The stream, which is just over a meter wide and flows very slowly, will turn into a river when the snow melts on the mountain in the next spring, according to Hu.
On both sides of the stream, there are tall birch forests, but in spring and summer, the dense trees will hide the entire stream, which is a good place for the rejuvenating grass to grow.
"Black loam, that's right, there must be donkey splint underground!" Hu Hongde came to the stream, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and looked at it, his face showing joy.
"Lao Hu, dig it, it's almost dark when you rush back, don't delay the time." Ye Tian glanced at the sky, but the sun above his head was blocked by a dark cloud, and the wind was blowing.
Ye Tian is not afraid of the cold, it doesn't mean that he likes to wear thin clothes in the rain, and when it rains, the temperature will drop sharply, plus the mountain road is slippery, Ye Tian doesn't want to stay in this old forest for a long time.
"Good!"
Hu Hongde agreed, walked to the woods more than ten meters away from the stream, observed the dead grass on the ground, and dug it up with a sapper shovel.
"Found it, Ye Tian, can you see if it's this thing?"
Just before digging a few shovels, Hu Hongde shouted, the Soul Rejuvenation Grass is not a precious medicinal material, if it comes to the right season, it can be seen in many places in Changbai Mountain.
"That's right, it should be this thing, Lao Hu, dig more!"
Ye Tian picked up this palm-sized rhizome, which has two small ears at the base, a bit like a donkey's ears, no wonder it is called a donkey splint by the locals.
"Lao Hu, it's okay, that's enough!" ..., the growth of the rejuvenating grass is basically in pieces, and without much effort, Hu Hongde dug out seven or eight rhizomes of the rejuvenating grass, Ye Tian looked at it and stopped him.
Hu Hongde put the rhizomes of those rejuvenating herbs into his backpack, looked at Ye Tian and asked, "Ye Tian, how do you use these things?" ”
"Dry and grind it into powder, then crush the incense and mix it with it and burn it."
Ye Tian looked at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's too late today, let's go back to where you live first, and then talk about the preparations after we have done the preparations, Xiaoxian shouldn't have an accident within three days." ”
Hu Hongde naturally has no objection to Ye Tian's words, he is from the mountains, and his weather prediction is more accurate than Ye Tian's, and he estimates that this Changbai Mountain will soon usher in the first snow of the year.
Sure enough, not long after Hu Hongde and Ye Tian arrived at the wooden house, snowflakes floated in the sky, the snow in Changbai Mountain was different from what Ye Tian had ever seen, a snowflake was the size of a child's palm, and Ye Tian was amazed to see it.
Outside the house was snowing heavily, but inside the house was warm, the bonfire reflected the wooden house red, and from time to time there was a sound of wood cracking and exploding.
On the bonfire was a cleaned roe deer, and Hu Hongde stuffed a lot of spices into his stomach, and there were knife cuts on the meat, and Hu Hongde brushed oil on it from time to time.
It didn't take much effort, the rich aroma of meat filled the entire hut, Hu Hongde took a plate, cut off several catties of meat from the roasted roe deer, and brought it to Ye Tian.
"Yes, this meat is so delicious!"
There are not many animals on Maoshan Mountain, Ye Tian used to eat pheasants often, but he has never eaten wild meat like roe deer, and he can't help but move his index fingers when he takes a bite.
Hu Hongde is practicing foreign kung fu, don't look at the fact that he is already in his sixties, the amount of food is not smaller than Ye Tian, a roe deer with skin and internal organs and more than 20 catties was eaten by Ye Tian and Hu Hongde.
After eating, Ye Tian and Hu Hongde put the rhizomes of the rejuvenating grass around the bonfire, roasted for several hours and waited for the water in it to evaporate, and then grinded them into powder one by one.
"Damn, why can't this door be opened?" After getting up early the next morning, when Ye Tian wanted to go out of the house, he found that the heavy snow outside the door had buried half of the door.
