Chapter 9: Capture

For several days, Lin Fei was immersed in the world of books. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Although there are mostly medical books here, there are still some other types of books, for Lin Fei, the biggest advantage of reading these books is that he can better integrate into this world. In fact, not only Wu E, but also Lin Fei himself thought it was quite strange. He is not a person from this world, and the best way to forcibly integrate into this world is to have more contact with people, but now there is no such condition, read more books on the Four Books and the Five Classics, at least closer in temperament.

According to Lin Fei's own thoughts, there are only two paths in front of him, one is literature and one martial arts, I am afraid that it is impossible to learn martial arts, so I can only put more effort into learning literature. Although Lin Fei was not a scholar when he was studying, he was still able to understand these condescending ancient texts with more snacks.

One day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world. More than half a month has passed since he was injured, and Lin Fei's injury is completely healed. During this period of study, I feel that it is still very fulfilling. Old man Sun was busy dealing with the unplaned tiger, and the two of them had eaten tiger meat for several days in a row, and they felt that the taste was really not good. Tiger bone wine is quite good, Lin Fei can fully recover in just half a month, and it is not unrelated to Old Man Sun's daily glass of tiger bone wine.

"Why is it this tiger meat again today, I almost vomited after eating it." Lin Fei was full of disgust for the pieces of meat on the plate that he picked up with chopsticks, he was really tired of this thing.

"What's the way, that kid hasn't been here for half a month, and I've been busy dealing with that dead tiger recently, so I really don't have the time to go to the vegetable garden, so I'll eat it." Now that your body has recovered, I will take you there tomorrow, and you will be responsible for picking vegetables in the vegetable garden in the future. ”

Lin Fei said helplessly: "You told me a long time ago, I was willing to be responsible for such a thing, and it was really hard to swallow eating such a thing every day." ”

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a sound outside the courtyard, and then Wu E's voice came: "Dog, old man Sun, where are you?" Why hasn't anyone come to greet me for a long time? ”

Old man Sun sat in his position without moving, holding the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and said with a sneer: "Look at this kid's ability, and you still want me to greet him, even if your family members from Qinglong Mountain are here, I don't dare to say that I will let the old man greet him." ”

Lin Fei didn't care about this, and hurriedly dropped the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, he kept thinking about the last time he told Wu E. As long as this thing can be made, he is confident that he can catch the retreating centipede, which can be regarded as an explanation to Old Man Sun, after all, it was because of the two of them that his years of preparation fell short last time.

I haven't seen him for half a month, Wu E actually looks a lot older, and I don't know what he's been busy with in the past half a month. Lin Fei walked forward quickly, punched Wu E's body, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, why is there no news for so many days, I think that my body is almost nourished, and I will go back to Qinglong Mountain to find you." ”

Wu E put down the bow and crossbow and hare on his shoulder, and followed Lin Fei to the house, while saying: "Don't mention it, what kind of drawings did you kid give me, our king blacksmith on the mountain can't make it at all, so I can only think of Fa'er's leave, and I drove a hundred and ten miles to Tianqing Mansion to make this thing you painted on the map."

The old man Sun in the house squinted at Wu E, and without saying a word, he lowered his head to eat. Lin Fei knew that the last time Wu E scared away the escaped centipede, Old Man Sun was still angry in his heart, although Wu E shot the tiger and saved his life, but he would rather count this life-saving grace on Lin Fei's head than admit that Wu E saved him. In Lin Fei's heart, this is a very stubborn old man.

As soon as he heard Wu E say that the things were ready, Lin Fei couldn't wait to say, "Quick, take it out, I'll take a look." ”

This thing is related to whether the key to catching the remote centipede, originally there will be the use of springs, but I think that in this era, many processes involved in springs are beyond the reach of current technology, so Lin Fei made certain improvements.

Wu E untied a cloth bag from the waistband of his trousers, walked to the dining table, and took out the contents inside. Lin Fei looked up and down for a while, picked up the chopsticks on the side and tried it, but he was able to achieve the expected effect, and he was overjoyed.

Old man Sun watched it for a long time, and he couldn't understand Lin Fei's actions; Wu E was even more in the clouds, and it was estimated that he was still complaining in his heart, and his feelings made him drive a hundred and ten miles of mountain roads, so he made such a "toy"!

Seeing that this thing could achieve the desired effect, Lin Fei was reassured. Slowly sat down, calmly picked up the dishes and chopsticks in his hand.

"Brother, what kind of fun is this, for the sake of me running so far, tell me about it."

Lin Fei glanced up at Old Man Sun, and saw that he still looked like he didn't care about himself, so he smiled indifferently and said, "Of course it's a good thing." ”

Wu E looked at it carefully for a while and said, "Good thing, what's good, no matter how I look at it, I haven't found that this thing can be of any use." ”

Lin Fei stretched out his finger and pointed to a place and said, "You put your finger here and try it, and you will know the benefits of this thing." ”

"No kidding, this thing will hold your hands, I'm not stupid, why put my fingers on it." Wu E shook his head decisively.

"Old man Sun, you said that if that escaped centipede crawled to the position I just pointed to, would it be able to run?"

Lin Fei was like a pebble thrown into the water, and in an instant, Old Man Sun stood up, with a fine light in his eyes, staring at the few mouse traps that Wu E put on the table.

When he first heard Wu E talk about the characteristics of the Retreat Centipede, Lin Fei thought of this thing. As long as the supporting plate below is made into an iron plate, then touch the mechanism, and the pop-up clip will instantly clamp it, and the bottom of the supporting plate is an iron plate, no matter how powerful it is, it can drill a hole in the iron plate?

The structure of this thing is not complicated, and you can see its principle at a glance. Old man Sun just looked at it for a while, then raised his head, looked at Lin Fei and said, "Tell me what you think." ”

"It's very simple, we just need to drop the bitter lotus nectar in the position of the mechanism of this clip, once the retreating centipede climbs up, as long as it touches the mechanism, it will not be able to run."

Lin Fei said that these are the simplest uses of the mouse trap, but people in this era have never seen this thing.

"Seconds, why didn't I think this thing could be used like this." Wu E slapped Lin Fei and said, "It seems that I haven't run in vain for a hundred and ten miles, and that thing can't run away this time." ”

"Not necessarily, I've looked at your stuff, and in theory this method is quite feasible. But one thing you don't know about this reclusive centipede is that its size is several times that of its kind, but its strength is dozens of times that of its kind. This thing may be able to trap it for a short time, and it is likely to break free for a little longer. ”

Lin Fei nodded and said, "If the power of this thing is great, it is indeed very likely to be broken free by it." Old man Sun's concerns are not unreasonable. But a concern is actually very easy to solve, as long as we tie a rope to this clip, the mechanism touches, it will inevitably pull the rope, and then we will run over as soon as possible, no matter how strong that thing is, it is impossible to break free in an instant. ”

Lin Fei continued: "The most difficult thing to do now is that we can't determine the approximate location of that thing, and if there is no way to do this, the clip will not be useful." ”

After pondering for a while, Old Man Sun said, "I'll figure out a way to do this." ”

In the evening, Lin Fei sat on the recliner and read quietly with the sunset, the title of the book was "Tao Yuanming Collection", and he happened to read one of the famous articles "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring".

"You're here, Old Man Sun said he had found the location of that thing, so let's go now."

Lin Fei suddenly turned over and sat up, and said in surprise: "So fast, where is he?" ”

"Come with me, you'll know, hurry up." So saying, he ran back and forth.

Lin Fei also had his own curiosity about what kind of escaped centipede. It was just a quick glance that day, and a white light flashed, and he couldn't figure out what kind of centipede could be white. And judging from Old Man Sun's concern for this matter, this thing must have extraordinary value.

Following Wu E, he walked all the way into the woods, Lin Fei didn't ask much, and he wouldn't know if he wanted to ask.

After walking for about two miles, the night was getting darker, and finally I saw the figure of Old Man Sun on the high slope not far away. The two of them quickened their pace to catch up, and there was inexplicable excitement in their hearts about to catch the unknown creature.

Old man Sun greeted him at the same time and said, "I can already determine the approximate range, which is within a radius of one kilometer. ”

"What!"

As soon as they heard this, Lin Fei and the others instantly had a feeling of being played, a radius of one kilometer, what are they kidding. A total of three clips were made, palm-sized things, not to mention a radius of one kilometer, that is, lost within ten meters, and this overgrown weed had to be found for a long time.

"Old man Sun, what are you kidding, what kind of centipede are you catching, we are doing you a favor, are you playing with us?" Wu E said with an angry expression.

Lin Fei didn't speak, he was waiting for Old Man Sun to say it. He believes that the most important thing about this matter is Old Man Sun, and he is the one who is most unlikely to joke about this matter.

"To be able to determine that within a radius of one kilometer is already the limit of my ability, and the price I have paid for this is not small, if I fail to catch it in the end, I will lose my wife and soldiers."

Lin Fei said directly: "Since you called us here, you have already thought about this operation, so let's talk about it directly." ”

"What is certain now is that it may appear in two places within a kilometer radius, one is in the mud pool under this hillside, where the bitter lotus grows; There was also a swampy area a kilometer away from here, and even if the trap was caught, it would have had plenty of time to break free, hoping he wouldn't be there. Of course, these two places are only more likely, and it is not entirely certain. ”

"Old man Sun, I said what's the matter, let's wait for the day, it's dark this day, and the vision is blocked, aren't you artificially increasing the difficulty!"

Wu E's complaint was also what Lin Fei wanted to say in his heart. I can't see anything in this pitch black, and it would be better to come back early tomorrow morning.

"You think I don't want to come during the day, isn't that just the right time to find out the location? It may not be here tomorrow, and the price to pay for finding it is too great to lose! Old man Sun glanced at the two helplessly and said, "Okay, don't talk this nonsense, you two are in charge of here, and I am in charge of the other area." ”
