Chapter 82: Capturing the Mountain Rats

There are a lot of brothers who reward today, including honest man 888, Blood Lion Beast Emperor, √ God out of print, & Dragon in the *journey), and 7 votes of Xin You's kick! Thank you, Yamamura!

When he got home, Chu Jiaqiang didn't stay, he immediately went to the village to borrow some iron cages, etc., and then picked some better food, brought it, and then climbed the hillside with Tang Fatzi.

These cages have small traps that can be easily reached when the rats sneak in to eat, and then lock them inside.

In addition to this kind of trap iron cage, in fact, the most primitive is the mouse trap. However, the rat trap has a much smaller chance of hitting and can be easily escaped. Caught in their claws, they may struggle desperately, and then break that claw and run away, if they are caught in the body, the whole mouse will die very quickly, not fresh, so the rat trap has now been slowly eliminated.

"It's not the best time to catch mouses, it's winter. In winter, when they run out of food, they will run out to look for food, and when they see food, they will definitely eat it. Now in the fall, there is plenty of food, and the food you put must be of high quality to lure them into being fooled. Chu Jiaqiang said.

"Let's pack it a few more times in winter, this thing is not only delicious, but also quite nutritious." Tang Fat Man said in passing.

Chu Jiaqiang did not immediately go out of the basket, but observed in the peanut field, as if he was looking for something.

Tang Fatzi couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what are you looking for?" Hurry up and get to work, set the trap, and get out of the way. ”

"Don't worry, I have to find a place where the flowers grow better and set a trap, so the probability is greater." Chu Jiaqiang said. After glancing at it, he walked over with the cage.

The production of the rat trap cage is very simple, and the actual operation can only be seen by anyone who has seen it a few times.

The main way to catch mice is through the idea of opening the cage door, putting a piece of food in it to lure the mouse, the mouse eats the food after it comes in, triggers the switch in the process of biting and eating the food, and under the action of the strong spring, quickly closes the door of the cage before the mouse reacts, and locks the mouse inside!

There are three issues worth noting: first, the food that lures rats should not only meet the appetite of the rats, but also be able to attract rats quickly with the taste of the food, and be able to not rot and spoil in a short period of time.

Second, the triggering switch of the small hook that hangs the food should be relatively loose, and it is best to make the food move lightly, and the switch will be closed immediately.

The third is that the rat cage should be placed in a place where rats often hang out, open to face the direction of mice, and at the same time pay attention not to put it in a place where people can often see, so as not to scare away mice, and so as not to accidentally hurt people!

"Brother, how do you know that the mountain rats are coming in this direction?" Tang Fatzi was a little puzzled.

Chu Jiaqiang pointed to the surrounding environment and said, "You see, the reason why they are called mountain rats is that they generally live on the mountains, so the direction below can be ruled out." On the left, the mountain is covered with stones, which is not suitable for them to dig holes and make nests, and they can also be eliminated. There is a small stream on the right, the mud here is too wet for them to live in, and there are many snakes in the damp place, and the rats are afraid of snakes, and they will not be on the right side, so it can only be from the top of the hill above. ”

Tang Fatzi nodded suddenly in realization: "My brother's observation is really delicate!" ”

"Huh! If you do too much of this kind of thing, it will naturally happen, and it is not a big deal. If you don't believe me, you can ask the children in the village, and they will analyze it for you with the same reason. Those guys are the masters, and they basically know what is in the mountains. If you want mountain mushrooms, let them pick them, and they will definitely give you a big harvest, but you can't bully other people's children. Chu Jiaqiang said.

"Huh! Where! Am I like the kind of person who will do whatever it takes? I don't know how to squeeze the children's labor, so I'll let them pick some tomorrow and bring them back, these mountain goods are also good things. The ones outside have undergone cosmetic surgery, and the cultivated ones look good, and they eat enough. "Tang Fat Man is very good at eating, and when he looks at ordinary things, he can probably know whether they are authentic or not.

"Actually, you don't have to be so troublesome, you can go directly to the mouse hole to catch it, and you don't have to wait so long." Chu Jiaqiang said.

Tang Fatzi immediately glared and said, "Don't you say it earlier?" Hurry up and put the other cages away, let's go catch a few and go back to the tooth sacrifice tonight. ”

Chu Jiaqiang regretted a little and said that he told this guy that he wasn't asking for trouble? In desperation, I had to quickly place the cage. But I didn't put all of them all, so I left two to take them with me.

After that, the two climbed up the mountain.

"We can't just go all over the mountains looking for rat holes, can we?" Tang Fat said. With his size, he gasped after climbing for a while. It's late now, and standing on the hill can feel the cool breeze, but Tang Fat Man is sweating profusely.

"That's not necessary, there's a pattern to follow, just follow the rat path." Chu Jiaqiang smiled.

"Rats? How to find it? Rats also open the way? Tang Fatzi was stunned, this was the first time he had personally experienced this matter, and he had no experience at all. I used to go hunting, and I took a dog and went into the mountains with a group of friends, and he could distinguish a rabbit's nest, but he didn't have a mouse's hole.

"Of course there is, but you have to watch carefully, otherwise you won't see it." Chu Jiaqiang pointed to a place at his feet and said, "Look here, the grass here originally grew very well, but it was bitten off a lot. These mountain rats are very good at enjoying it, and they pick up the good grass and get it back to their nests, so that it will not be too cold in winter. ”

"That only means that the mountain rats have been to this place, not necessarily the road they often take, right?" Tang Fat said depressedly.

"Listen to me! They also have a habit with rabbits, which is to follow the old path. Although they have a fierce temperament, they are very timid, otherwise how can people say that they are as timid as mice? Therefore, they only take the safe road, and do not dare to wade lightly on unknown routes, and there will be some traces on the way. Chu Jiaqiang explained.

Following the path of the rats, I soon came to a hole the size of a fist, which was covered by some plants.

Sure enough, no matter how shrewd the rat is, no one is smart. By the way, how do you know if there's any rats in there? "Tang Fat Man is overjoyed.

Chu Jiaqiang pointed to some rat feces at the entrance of the cave: "These rat feces don't look long, there must be mountain rats in them." ”

"So what now? We didn't come here with a hoe, how to dig? ”

"No need to dig, let's look again. There must be holes nearby, so seal the other holes and keep one. Chu Jiaqiang looked around.

"Bang! Isn't this the rabbit's trick? ”

"There's nothing wrong with the three caves of the cunning rabbit, but the mountain rats also have this behavior, otherwise what if the snake comes? A snake blocking the hole can eat a nest of mountain rats. "Chu Jiaqiang knows that mountain mice are much more cunning than house mice.

Sure enough, he soon found a hole next to a pine tree, and Chu Jiaqiang immediately sealed it, and saw that he didn't find any more mouse holes, so he returned to his original place.

"Now you can fill it with water, and the mountain rats are afraid of the water, so they will immediately escape in a panic. We'll just put an iron cage at the entrance of the cave and wait for them to go in. Of course, there is no water here, and it is the same to burn a fire and smoke it. ”

Hearing the watering, Tang Fatzi collapsed, but in the latter sentence, he immediately took out the lighter he had brought with him, and the smoker would definitely not have a lighter on him.

Chu Jiaqiang found a pile of dry grass and opened all the things next to it to avoid fire, which would not be good. The most feared thing in the mountains is a forest fire, which is very terrifying. When there is not a large area burning, there may still be a chance to extinguish it, if it is too large, we have to quickly organize people to set up a separation zone, that is, when the fire has not yet burned, all the plants will be disposed of.

Chu Jiaqiang grew up in the countryside, and this awareness of fire prevention is still there.

Light a fire next to the entrance of the cave, then lie on the ground slightly and blow air into the hole. Smoke poured into the hole, and soon a scream came from inside.

"Be careful, hold on to the iron cage, it's about to come out." Chu Jiaqiang hurriedly shouted.

When Tang Fatzi heard this, he immediately stabilized the iron cage, and as soon as he stabilized, two big rats came out of it and crashed into the iron cage. Chu Jiaqiang immediately closed the iron mesh door of the cage.

"Alright, let's go next." Chu Jiaqiang extinguished the fire, there was no spark left, and the spark of the stars can start a prairie fire, everyone understands this truth.

"Missing in there?" Tang Fat asked.

"What do you think? Didn't you see that these two rats are fat? There must be no more inside, the general size is relatively large, and they have a certain sense of territory, don't think that only the tiger is a mountain and can't hide two tigers! Chu Jiaqiang said.

The two of them caught two more elsewhere and headed home.
