Chapter 635: The Tempting Mouse Cub
The rat traps used in later generations were generally made of iron, and some food was placed on them, and the rats would be caught when they came to eat or stepped on the pedal.
Such a clamp needs to be made of steel for springs, and in the case that the tribe does not have much iron, Han Cheng naturally does not have the ability to make steel, let alone use steel wire to make springs.
However, he knew a more old-fashioned clip.
The name of this kind of earthen clamp is 'hanging billet'.
When this kind of clamp is laid, it is generally dug out of a hole that is not deep or shallow on the bank next to the dry ditch or a small river ditch, find a toad with a rope to tie its legs, tie it in the hole as bait, and then find a large brick and hang it with a rope, and the rope is connected to the stick that ties the toad.
When the weasel walks away with the toad in its mouth, it will trigger the mechanism, and the heavy brick will fall from above, and after hitting, it will be pressed underneath by the way, much like the broken dragon stone in the tomb.
That's right, this method of hanging billet was used by the older generation to catch weasels, and they were not national protected animals at that time.
The method of dealing with weasels is just as good as that of rats, and the weasels have a rat in their name.
When Han Cheng was a child, he caught more mice with a weasel trap than a professional rat trap.
But before you can do that, you need to cut off the back path of the rats, lest these guys flee or come to the tribe's granary to feast on them.
I searched inside and out, and the back of the granary was a relatively hidden place, and I don't know when a small hole was dug out, and the hole was ground to some invention and blackening, and it was a place where rats have been going for many years.
Han Cheng's original idea was to directly block this passage, but after thinking about it, he changed his mind again.
He told Shi to find tools, and in and out of this passage, he laid down six small rabbit sets in a row.
Unlike bullying rabbits, rats have sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and even if they are caught in a sleeve, it won't take long for them to bite off the sleeve made of twine and escape.
Of course, Han Cheng would not leave such an opportunity, and after finishing the cover, he hung the blank on top of the rabbit set.
After knowing that Han Cheng was going to use this method to deal with rats, the witch who hated rats for not dying thought that the bricks were too light, and after thinking about it, he directly brought a relatively regular stone, which weighed twenty catties.
Looking at this stone, Han Cheng's face twitched, this guy came down, and the rats must not be smashed into meat puree?
If he could, Han Cheng would definitely hang it up without hesitation, but unfortunately this thing was too heavy to catch mice, and the rats couldn't trigger it.
"This won't work......
Han Cheng said to Wu and continued to tie a rope to the brick.
This kind of brick is the kind of brick that the Qingque tribe first made, which is relatively large, and it sinks a lot more than ordinary bricks, about six or seven catties.
The rope head of the hanging billet is connected to the rabbit sleeve underneath, and as soon as the rabbit sleeve is triggered, the hanging brick will fall down.
"Let you eat, let you eat!"
Wu looked at the rabbit set and the hanging blank and muttered fiercely, as if he had caught a mouse at this time.
After arranging this place, Han Cheng came to the warehouse, first found something to plug the hole that had been bitten out of the worm, so that it would not continue to flow out of the grain, and then cleaned up the spoiled grain that flowed out with Wu.
The grain is not edible, but it is not wasted.
In addition to people, there are many people in the tribe who are now willing to eat the food that has been spoiled by rats.
In fact, these grains can also be eaten, at least in Wu's opinion, they can be made very delicious after cleaning up and peeling off the shells.
Of course, Han Cheng wouldn't let this happen, after all, there was no shortage of these two mouthfuls of food in the tribe, so there was no need to endure nausea and risk getting some diseases, so he had to eat such food.
This kind of behavior is not called waste, but is responsible for one's own body.
Some people are used to being thrifty, and they are reluctant to throw away spoiled meals, and he has not heard of going to the hospital after eating.
Thrift is certainly meant to be frugal, but it cannot be held physically.
"Miko, here!"
After cleaning up the grain, the stone not far away shouted, and he pulled out a nest made of grass and bird feathers in a crevice, and in the nest were six hairless, red-skinned transparent fellows, these were rat cubs who had only been born for a long time!
Damn, it's okay to call friends to eat a little, and now they are still giving birth here, this is a permanent posture!
Han Cheng picked up a finger-sized mouse baby, looked at it, and then threw it back.
Wu Ze didn't have such a measure, this old man who was bullied by the rats, after taking the rat nest from the stone, stretched out his hand and pointed at these mouse cubs who had not yet opened their eyes, and his mouth was also counting down.
If you can't do the old ones, you will take the small ones to get angry.
At the end of the road, he walked out with the rat nest, muttering that he wanted to wash these little mouse cubs and fry them in oil.
Well, if you eat my food, I'll eat your cubs, and that's a good calculation, but it's a little too strong.
Han Cheng hurriedly shouted to Wu to stop his fierce behavior, and then threw these little mouse cubs to the dog who had been pulled off a few hairs from Wu's buttocks.
In three or two clicks, these little mouse cubs entered the dog's mouth.
The stone on the side swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, because he thought that Wu's proposal just now was very good, this little mouse looked pink and tender, and it must be very good to fry it in oil.
This kind of emotion with regret was not forcibly dispelled until Han Cheng slapped the back of the head a few times.
Inside the granary, Han Cheng continued to hang embryos and rabbit traps at the base of the narrow wall.
It took ten more to stop, and then, thinking that it was not enough to be safe, he got a few more clay pots and put them in the granary.
A round wooden stick is placed horizontally on the mouth of the clay pot, and a piece of food is tied to the middle of the stick.
On the outside of the clay pot, some bricks were placed to make an easy step for the rats to climb up.
It's a simple yet practical trap.
The rat crawls forward along the stick to eat the food tied to the middle of the stick, and after walking far without being secured, the stick will be crushed and unbalanced, and after two turns, the rat that wants to eat will fall into the jar.
These devices looked at the 'humiliated' Wu Da nodding.
Although he hadn't seen the effect so far, from Han Cheng's operation, he felt a strong and successful flavor......
