After breakfast, the two went to the forest to check again, and obviously saw some big cat footprints, which made the two a little nervous. On the way back, the two tentatively decided that the week would be spent familiarizing themselves with and exploring the surroundings of the campsite, bringing back everything that would be useful to them, and setting up some traps to increase their source of meat.

The goal of the two of them today was to explore and set some traps above the camp, to the north, and on the way back, cut down a few more pine trees and collect some vines to build a stronger camp.

Xu Qiang and the others fully armed themselves, wearing a penny hat, camouflage uniform, hiking boots, carrying a travel bag, carrying a waist scarlet*, a straight knife tied to their legs, and an axe and saw hanging on their backpacks. He also cut two bamboo poles the thickness of a baby's fist and two and a half meters long from the bamboo forest, sharpened the front end and used it as a spear. After making all the preparations, the two set off towards the mountain.

The two walked five meters apart on the mountain road near the edge of the forest, and the weeds were knee-high under their feet, and Xu Qiang and the two used bamboo poles to beat the grass to drive away possible poisonous snakes and other dangerous reptiles as they walked. When you see a suitable location or signs of an animal passing by, set up some traps.

There are several basic rules for setting traps: one is not to destroy the original environment, the second is to conceal the tracks, the third is to cleverly camouflage, the fourth is to be strong and effective, and the fifth is to set up simple and convenient materials.

The materials of the traps are taken locally, combined with the 50 cm long parachute line on the handle of the knife, to create trigger traps, such as bird steps, hanging legs, and supportive weight pressure traps.

The setting of the bird tread is very simple, split a tree trunk from the middle, use a small wooden stick of about one or three centimeters to put it at the bottom to form a Y shape, and then break a long wooden stick and put it on the top of the Y shape, and use a short small wooden stick to get stuck. A rope core is tied to the stick, which is tied into a slipknot and attached to a long stick, which is attached to an elastic branch. As soon as the bird steps on the long stick, it will press down, and the elastic branches will bounce up, quickly reel in the line, and grab the bird by the feet before it can react.

The supporting weight downward pressure trap is to process the branches with a certain support strength into a "4" shaped support frame, and then press the weight on the top of the oblique wooden stick at the top of the "4", as long as the animal triggers the horizontal wooden stick under the "4", then the weight will lose its balance, and some small animals will be pressed, if the weight is heavy enough, it is possible to capture some larger animals, such as foxes, wolves, etc.

The principle of the slinging cover is similar to that of a bird, which can catch pheasants, hares and other animals.

After setting up more than a dozen traps in some key locations or on the beast road, Xu Qiang and the two had already walked to the location of the rocky slope on the mountain. There are a lot of irregular stones of different sizes, which should have rolled down from the mountain, and there is a certain danger here, Xu Qiang especially reminded the fat man to pay attention to safety here in the future.

After walking around the rocky slope, the two found nothing in particular, except for a cave. The entrance of the cave is more than three meters high and two meters wide, and it is very dark inside, and you can't see how deep it is. Before they were sure whether there were any large beasts inside, the two of them didn't plan to go in to find out, but only took a look from a distance and left.

After exploring the area, the two headed back to the forest next to the campsite, where they prepared to cut down some timber and build a fence to prevent the beasts from attacking. But I didn't expect that a bird cub set up before actually caught an ancient pigeon.

How did Xu Qiang know? Of course, the name of this animal comes to mind at the first sight of it. The ancient pigeon is quite similar to the modern pigeon, but the feathers on the body are more brightly colored, with some gray spots, and the eyes and claws are red, which is slightly larger than the modern pigeon. When Xu Qiang and the others found it, it had been half-hung on a marblewood pole for a long time, and they no longer had the strength to resist Luo Fatzi's capture. Even though it looked beautiful, it was thrown into the backpack by Luo Fatzi with his neck broken.

After restoring the bird's tales, the two left.

In the process of rushing back along the edge of the forest, Xu Qiang took out the slingshot in his pocket, hung the stone bullet, and after getting used to a few hits, he shot down five birds in a row, including two starlings, two shrike birds, and a gray turtledove. However, one squirrel escaped Xu Qiang's blow with his agility and fled deep into the woods, never to show his head again.

When they were about to arrive at the campsite, the two of them chose a place with few trees on the edge of the forest and took out their axes to cut down a dozen pine trees with thick bowls. For the two who live in modern times and rarely experience tree cutting, this first logging left an indelible impression on both of them. Despite the sharp axes, they did not master the art of logging, which caused them more trouble, making the whole logging process lengthy.

Twelve trees, the price they paid was two or three blisters on their right hands, and one of Xu Qiang's blisters was the size of a five-cent coin. Other costs include a muscular sore arm, a right hand that can't be lifted, and a tear in the fat man's hiking boot. And Xu Qiang was almost hit by the pine tree in his right leg because he didn't grasp the direction of the tree's fall, which was quite a bit of a meaning of dying before he got out of the school.

The fat man and Xu Qiang glanced at each other, and when they saw the jealousy in each other's eyes, they quickly stopped, just cut off the branches of one of the pine trees, and after splitting it in two with a hand saw, the two of them carried one of them back to the camp and threw it in the corner.

The two of them, who were so tired that they were half dead, lay motionless on the ground, forgetting that they were already hungry, and after a while, Luo Fatzi actually snored. This made Xu Qiang scold for a while, I, a real fat man, didn't snore, but you, a thin monkey like a fake fat man, snorted and shook the sky, how can this make me embarrassed, where is the reason?

However, Xu Qiang can also understand, after all, both of them are minors with mature souls, and it is normal for them to be weak, and it is not easy to be able to toss and persevere all the way, and it is not easy to achieve so many results.

Looking at the fat man Luo lying on the ground, Xu Qiang struggled to get up, took out a moisture-proof mat from the tent and put it under him, and covered the fat man with a camouflage uniform to avoid catching a cold. Then he shuffled his heavy footsteps to the campfire, put in a few pieces of firewood, lit the campfire with the embers, and began to prepare lunch.

Since there are more ingredients today, it is still a troublesome job of plucking, so if you want to have lunch in a short time, you have to streamline the cooking process. Take out the hanging pot of yourself and Luo Fatzi, one of them put the washed rice in it, add water to the depth of three fingers of the rice, cover it, and put it on the fire with another hanging pot filled with water.
