Chapter 46: The P-Balance Trap

The "gift package" that surprised Hu Xiaodao was actually a fist-sized black soil hole at the lower end of the knee-high soil slope two meters to the left of the banana tree. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The cave is easy to spot due to its western facing island and the shallow vegetation on the surface, covered only with scattered lichens.

Hu Xiaodao took two steps in three steps, went straight to the dirt slope, and shouted excitedly: "Friends, today must be my lucky day, not only found a banana tree, but also seems to have a small surprise waiting for me in front, hehe!" ā€

The drone cooperated with his movements, and the camera was close-up in time, focusing on the front of the hole.

Seeing such a big reaction from Hu Xiaodao, the audience's curiosity was hooked, and they all looked towards the entrance of the cave, and various barrages of speculation appeared.

"The cave in the wilderness can't be a snake cave! (stunned)"

"The shape of this hole, like the bitten bookcase in my house, is definitely a rat hole, if it weren't for my live broadcast eating."

"It's so dark in the hole, it must be very deep inside, how to catch it is a problem."

Hu Xiaodao said with joy on his face: "Whether it is a snake or a rat in it, it can replenish a lot of calories for me, as for the problem that this hole is very deep, it is difficult to dig it up without proper tools, and the best way is to make a trap." ā€

"However, before I can make the trap, I need to distinguish what the animals are inside so that I can get the right medicine."

Before coming to the entrance of the cave, Hu Xiaodao gathered his thoughts, observed carefully for a moment, and said: "It is the habit of rodents to make holes and nests, and snakes do not have this ability, but it does not hinder them at all. ā€

"It's ruthless!" "Bandit Snake!" "It's not easy to be a mouse!" All kinds of strange barrages float by!

"The law of the jungle eats the strong, and everything is selected by nature, there is no reason to talk about it!"

Hu Xiaodao smiled softly, and then said: "How to tell if it's a mouse or a snake in it, the method is actually very simple. First, look at the lower end of the edge of the hole, if there are snakes inside, relying on abdominal muscles and scales to crawl, the ground will definitely be rubbed smooth and flat. ā€

"Second, rats are territorial-minded and clean-loving animals, so they usually leave feces near the entrance of the cave to declare that this is their territory and ensure the environmental hygiene inside the cave."

Rummaging in the nearby grass slightly, Hu Xiaodao picked up a black mouse feces and said, "Look, this one looks very wet, and it hasn't rained in the past few days. ā€

"The King of the Wilderness Detective, there is nothing wrong with it, perfect!"

"If you are so thoughtful, if you don't want to be a policeman, you are really blind to a talent!"

"Grandma, I'm not happy to let you pretend to succeed...... That's impossible to drop! (Laughter)"

Herding the cow: "Anyway, is the reason why this rat poops everywhere is to keep his home hygienic?" This Nima ...... What a cheap feeling!! ā€

After listening to this reasoning, the audience understood that the existence of these fresh rat droppings proved that the cave was not occupied by snakes, and that there was still a rat family living in it.

"Now, I'm going to find some materials nearby and make a trap to catch mice."

Based on the memories contained in the Far Island Survival Guide, Hu Xiaodao decided to make a P-shaped balance trap, which is made of simple ingredients and can be completed with just a few small sticks and two pieces of rope.

A few minutes later-

Hu Xiaodao returned to the rat hole with the collected materials, and began to clean the soil outside the cave with an ice knife axe.

"In order to facilitate the placement of the trap, I need to simply shape the hole entrance, chisel a distance of 20 centimeters from the left and right, and build the ground into a flat ground."

After a few clicks, the hole under the slope becomes an L-shaped right-angle shape.

"Now that the hole is in order, I need to make a P-beam, which is to put a live buckle on the other end of the wood."

Hu Xiaodao picked up a chopstick-sized red branch, cut out a 10-centimeter-long section with an ice knife axe, peeled off the outer bark, and cut it into a gradually smaller shuttle shape from the 5 cm position to one end, and carved a single-sided shallow groove at the top and in the middle to fix the rope at the bottom.

"You need to use a rope or fishing line here, after making a trap is activated, you can tie the prey's movable rope buckle, the bark rope I brought is as thick as chopsticks, obviously a little too big, and it will definitely not be able to tie the prey, but I don't panic at all!"

Hu Xiaodao grinned, lifted the bark coat on his body, tore open the black miniskirt, and pulled out a very thin but tough silk thread from it, "The silk thread for sewing clothes is generally very tough, and it can just be used as a trap." ā€

Rice is very thin porridge: "King Sao, let me ask you, is there anything else that can't be used?"

Hu Xiaodao brushed the non-existent bangs with one hand, and said sadly: "Hey, don't be too envious, I can't help it, the main thing is that the person is too handsome, the IQ is too high, speaking of which, it's really a troublesome thing!" ā€

"Vomit-" All the viewers in the live broadcast room vomited wildly!

Hu Xiaodao, who suspected that the audience was not deeply poisoned, once again made a handsome face towards the camera, and got busy with a cheap smile.

The thread drawn from the skirt was folded into two strands, one end tied to a shallow groove at the top of the branch, tied into a dead knot, and the other end tied next to the middle groove to make a loophole.

In this way, the half circle on the top of the P-shape is completed.

Then in the middle groove position, tie the bark rope brought, and at the same time remind: "The single-sided groove must be facing the bottom, and the above will affect the sliding of the live buckle, and this rope sleeve is not too big, four to five centimeters is on the line, the head of the small mouse can not get in, and the whole mouse can easily pass through the big one." ā€

After saying that-

Hu Xiaodao pulled the silk thread in the middle of the live buckle, moved back and forth to the dead buckle, and tried the flexibility of the activity!

It is very nice, and it can easily slide out of the trunk and merge with the silk thread at the top to form a rope buckle!

The P-shaped balance beam is done, and then the final link is to find a natural source of strength for the trap.

Hu Xiaodao looked around and quickly locked on to a target-

A boxwood sapling that has just grown and is only the thickness of a thumb!

One section of the bark rope has been connected to the P-shaped balancing technique, and the other end of the remaining rope is tied directly to the top of the sapling.

Then, Hu Xiaodao returned to the entrance of the rat cave and inserted a 10-centimeter-long figure-7 wooden stick with a 0.5-centimeter-long branch, with the branch facing upward, vertically inserted into the edge of the hole.

The boxwood sapling, which is 1 meter 6 meters high, is one meter away from the entrance of the hole, and the bark rope is bundled and consumed, leaving 1.4 meters long, and the hypotenuse is 1.9 meters according to the trigonometric law.

The trap tools have been completed, and all that remains is to link the boxwood sapling and the figure-7 branch at the entrance of the hole with bark ropes to form a strong pull.

Hu Xiaodao held the P-shaped balance beam in his hand, slowly pulled to the branch at the entrance of the cave, the top of the sapling began to bend continuously, and when the balance beam touched the branch at the entrance of the cave, the sapling had tilted half a meter to the side of the hole.

"With the upward pull of the branches, the balance technique only needs to find the approximate center point, and it feels almost done, and you can stick the section without a rope on the earthen wall next to it."
