Chapter 20: The Trap
Fanxing looked at Wang Lang with a sad face and asked, "Lang, what's wrong with you." ”
Wang Lang shook his head with a wry smile, stood up and said, "I'm fine, let's go!" Let's go to dinner! ”
Fanxing didn't understand that now that the tribe was getting better and better, what else did Wang Lang worry about, looking at Wang Lang's back, his heart was full of doubts.
The tribesmen of the tribe gathered around the fire to eat heartily, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
Wang Lang took a piece of meat casually, sat on the side and ate it absentmindedly.
Wang Lang looked at the simple wall and muttered to himself: "Now the wall of the tribe can only ensure that wild beasts cannot enter, if you encounter an enemy, this little defense measure will not help at all, you must find a way to strengthen the defense." ”
Thinking of this, Wang Lang walked out of the wall, a large open space has been cleared out of the outside of the wall, a pit is dug every ten centimeters at the edge of the clearing, the dense soil pit forms a semicircle around the cliff, and the trunks of the trees that have been cut down are stacked on the side of the clearing, these are small trees with a diameter of more than ten centimeters, even if those towering trees are cut down, the number of people in the tribe cannot stand up.
Wang Lang roughly estimated that about fifty or sixty trees have been cut down so far, which is far from enough, and it is necessary to cut down enough trees before the rainy season arrives, and the sooner he completes it, he can be sure.
Wang Lang walked along the pit, chose four positions, and planned to build a few high platforms here as arrow towers, although these four arrow towers are a little sparse, but with each other's cooperation, four trained archers, against the enemy without long-range weapons, should be able to hold, with the productivity of this era, a tribe can be maintained at most about a hundred people, the vast majority of them are dozens of small tribes of more than a dozen people, as long as they are not besieged by several tribes at the same time, safety can still be guaranteed.
This delicious meal at noon made everyone's stomachs round, lying on their backs and enjoying the afternoon sunshine, and no one cared about the sense of urgency in Wang Lang's heart.
Everyone was lying on the ground lazily and didn't want to move, and the hard teeth were lying on the ground holding their bellies and humming, this unprecedented taste experience made him more convinced of the existence of God, and he believed that all this was given by God.
Wang Lang did not destroy this quiet atmosphere, in this precarious world, eating a full meal is already the greatest happiness in this world, feeling the joy of people, until this moment Wang Lang really feels that he has integrated into this world, and the previous world can only be a distant memory for himself.
There is still a long way to go to get people out of hunger completely, and Wang Lang feels that he has a long way to go.
After resting for more than an hour, Wang Lang asked several women to boil salt according to the method he had taught, leaving three men for them to continue cutting down trees, while he led the three men out hunting. With the rainy season approaching, the jungle would become muddy and impassable, and people would spend most of their time in the tribe farming and fishing, so Wang Lang had to seize every time he could gather enough food, preferably more live prey.
This time Wang Lang does not plan to take the hunting method, if you want to catch live prey, the best way is to trap, Wang Lang has also made some traps before, but those traps are too simple, can only catch some small animals and birds.
To survive alone, of course, there is no problem with this method, but to solve the food source of a dozen people, the previous small traps will not come in handy, and larger and more complex traps must be made.
Jianya and Huo walked in the middle with a large net, and Wang Lang and another young man named Wuyun stood guard around with spears.
Half an hour later, Wang Lang chose a position that looked good, threw the net on the ground, and let the strongest of the four people climb the tree, Jianya, wrap the rope around the thick branches in the method that Wang Lang had told.
After a period of tedious arrangement, the trap was arranged, Wang Lang used his spear to flick the trigger made of rope, and the large net laid on the ground was instantly pulled up by a huge pull and hung in the air.
Seeing that the trap could work normally, Wang Lang smiled with satisfaction, this trap can at least catch animals the size of wild horses, and arrange more in different areas in the future, this new way of hunting has never appeared in this world, and the prey will not recognize it for at least a long time, and after these traps have no effect, Wang Lang estimates that the tribe has passed the initial stage of development, even if there is no prey, the animals raised by themselves should be enough to maintain the survival of the tribe.
Jianya and the others looked at the net bag hanging in the air and swaying, and were stunned, this kind of miracle-like thing completely subverted their cognition, it turned out that hunting could still be played like this.
Wang Lang patted the three people who were still stunned and asked them to put the net down, and a few of them nodded woodenly, still unable to believe what was happening in front of them, the fire made the dark clouds pinch themselves, and the pain in their arms told them that all this was true, and they were not dreaming.
The fire was excited, with this kind of sharp weapon, what kind of effort did it take to hunt, and you could pick up the prey by sitting there, thinking of the good life in the future, the saliva of the fire couldn't help but flow out.
The three of them excitedly put down the net and rearranged it, Wang Lang covered the net with fallen leaves and weeds, after a simple camouflage, there was not much difference between this place and the surrounding environment, Wang Lang believed that with the intelligence of the animal, he would never see the danger here.
Jianya's face was a little flushed due to his excessive excitement. With a trill, he asked, "Lang, what are we going to do next?" ”
"Just wait, just take a look here in a day or two, we need more nets, more traps, only one trap will get too little to receive." Wang Lang said.
"Yes, this one is too little, after I go back, I will let the clansmen make so many fingers of one hand, no, too little, at least as many fingers of two hands." Jianya said incoherently.
Wang Lang smiled and said, "Let's go, let's take advantage of the fact that it's still early, and go to other places to get some traps." ”
"Are there any more traps. But we've run out of nets to brought. Fire asked suspiciously.
"Did I say there's only one trap?" Wang Lang pretended to be mysterious and said.
The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the light of excitement in each other's eyes, during this time Wang Lang brought them too many surprises, each of which subverted their cognition, fishing, bows and arrows, salt making, originally thought that this was the life they dreamed of, but they didn't expect Wang Lang to bring them another surprise, they felt that the most correct decision they had made in their lives was to choose Wang Lang as the leader of the tribe.
The three of them couldn't help but look at Wang Lang, and in a trance they saw that there seemed to be a mysterious light around Wang Lang, and that light was so sacred that he seemed to be an insignificant speck of dust in front of him.
Wang Lang looked at the three people in a daze, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, how did these three people do it, why were they always stunned, this was not a vacation, there were wild beasts all around, there was really no sense of precaution at all, and I don't know how they survived until now.
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Wang Lang said in a deep voice: "What are you doing in a daze, let's go." ”
