Chapter 9: Hunting in the Woods and Making Traps (Part II)

"Xiao Ran, you'll understand when you're done." Dog Daddy, picked up the rattan in his hand, tied the rattan tightly with both hands near the stick, and tied a dead knot at the end of the wood.

"You watch the movements in my hands, and when I'm done, you do what I do, and help make the other sticks the same," said the dog, busy with the movements in his hands, to a few hunters standing on the trap.

The people around carefully watched the movements in the hands of the dog's father.

I saw that after the dog dan father tied the end of the wooden stick, he tightened the rattan along the wooden stick a few times, about three or four circles, and there were two dead knots.

When he was done with his work, one hand pulled out the arrow from the quiver from behind his back.

These arrows smeared poison on the arrowheads, and the dogs followed the hunting methods of the older generation, collecting a poisonous plant called "bala" to make poison and applying it to the arrowheads, which could kill the beast by the arrow.

After the death of the prey, after people make the prey into mature food, the molecules in the toxin are completely destroyed because of the high temperature, which will not affect the human body and endanger the life of the human body.

Dog Daddy looked at the stones near the stick, chose a relatively flat stone, and then placed the end of the arrow on the plane of the stone, roughly at 90 degrees, tied the end to the pillar with rattan, and the arrow was just about 10 centimeters higher than the stick.

After attaching the tail of the arrow to the stick, the rattan is tied to the beads in a curved motion, and two dead knots are tied when the top of the stick is reached.

After doing this, Dogdaddy looked at the rest of the Orions, and from their expressions he already knew that they understood.

"Fix the arrows on the sticks of the rest of the sticks, as I have done."

After saying that, the rest of the people jumped down from above, and they all did it seriously, after all, they all cared about their own lives, and if they sold it, they would be able to buy more New Year's goods in the near future.

About the time of a cup of tea, in ancient times, referred to as the time of "a cup of tea", that is, about ten minutes now. (The unit of time in this world is that there are twelve months in a year, five weeks in a month, six days in a week, twelve hours in a day, four quarters in an hour, three teas in a moment, two pillars of incense in one tea, five points in a pillar of incense, six snaps of fingers in one minute, and ten moments in a snap of a finger.) In a flash, that's a second) Dog's father and several hunters have already tied arrows to the remaining sticks.

Fortunately, when the trap was dug at the beginning, two stepped bosses were left on the surface of the earth wall, and people walked out of the traps along the two protruding steps.

Standing on the trap and looking at the fruits of his labor, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Dogdan and the rest of the hunters arranged the remaining sticks in a tic-tac-toe order, and then cut the notches at each stick intersection so that the sticks could be connected to each other.

The four men lifted the sticks on top of the trap and spread the collected dead branches and leaves all over the sticks. After doing this, they moved the soil from digging the trap to the bushes not far away.

In ancient times, the black blind still had a very sensitive sense of smell, and they did it just in case.

The sky had gradually darkened, and the sun had completely disappeared from the floorline, and only a faint afterglow was still shining on the earth.

"Let's eat something first, rest for a while, and I'll go not far away and wait for the black blind man, and as soon as it appears, I'll lure it into a trap." After the dog dan dad finished speaking, he thought about it again.

"Wait a while for you to hide behind the stones, don't shoot arrows when you see it, wait until I run past the trap, force it with arrows until you have to go through the trap, as long as it falls into the trap, we can wait for the beast to die slowly."

The rest of the Orions nodded. He took out the little dry food and water that was left from the cloth bag and ate it.

After eating, I sat down and rested for a while.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, the dog father stood up, skimmed the short knife at his waist, picked up the quiver beside him, and after carrying the quiver on his back, he bent down and picked up the bow placed beside him.

"I'll go over first, and you guys should also prepare and wait for the opportunity to act." After speaking, he was about to walk on the way to and fro.

"Okay, Brother Chen, you must be careful and pay attention to safety."

Daddy turned around and patted his father's shoulder. He looked at the other hunters, and he could see the worry in their eyes.

Turning around, without saying a word, he walked silently the way he came.

Looking at the back of the dog daddy getting farther and farther away, my heart couldn't help but sink. I hope he can lure the black blind man over safely.

"Alright, let's get ready." Daddy Shui picked up the tools on the ground and walked behind the stone first. The others followed.

The gloomy and bleak moonlight crept out of the sky, enveloping this strange forest. The forest was as quiet as if everything was sleeping in the fear of death.

Eerie and mysterious. Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the grass not far away.

Daddy Dog stopped and hurriedly stopped his steps, two or three steps, found a bush that was not too high, squatted down and bent down, took out an arrow from the quiver behind his back, pulled the bow in his hand into an arc, squatted down, staggered his feet back and forth, and his two eyes stared straight ahead, ready to shoot the arrow at any time.

"Rustling ......" a few times, from the bushes not far away from the rush out of a wolf shrub, carrying a hare in the mouth, in ancient times the wolf shrub is also called "mink bear", long inhabited cliffs or rocky piles, mostly active at night, fierce and greedy.

The body structure of the mink bear is between the bear and the mink, and the body is not large, with a head and tail more than a meter long. The body and stout limbs resemble a bear, but there is a long tail that resembles an ermine, so people have given it a very image-fitting name Mink Bear. Despite its small size, it is one of the most ferocious of small carnivores. Its strength is so impressive that it is said to be able to drag away animal carcasses several times larger than its own body, and it can prey on animals several times larger than it, such as deer, foxes, and minks, as well as hares, squirrels, and grouse.

Dog's father looked at the mink bear not far away, who was eating.

I remembered the scene when my father hunted with me three years ago.

It was a snowy winter, I and my father traveled a long way into the mountains to see if the prey was caught in the trap, took myself and my father to the place where there was a trap, and was surprised to find that I and my father worked hard to secure the trap, but were destroyed by the marvelous one by one, knowing that to the last place where the trap was placed, the trap was also bitten by some animal, but on the white snow around the trap found two messy footprints, Through the footprints, my father also learned that the original animal that was responsible for the destruction was the mink bear.

Daddy Dog pointed the arrow at the mink bear, and when he was about to shoot the arrow, he saw through the gap in the bushes that two green and eerie eyes appeared not far from the mink bear who was busy eating it.

I saw two pairs of green eyes full of evil, little by little, approaching the mink bear, but the poor mink bear was just busy eating, and he was completely unaware of the danger that was coming behind him.
