【Chapter 226】Wang Xiaotie's trap plan
"Ladies and gentlemen! Today should be your favorite day! Lao Tzu wants to use Wang Xiaotie's ultimate stunt, dear~ Don't go away, the excitement is about to begin! ”
Wang Xiaotie took a large pile of ropes and went directly into the jungle.
Speaking of making traps, Wang Xiaotie can really be very proud. Not to mention the method of making traps he learned in the film and television works of survival in the wilderness and various post bars, in fact, he also systematically learned how to lay traps, and his trap mentor is the trap mentor in the Hunger Games copy.
That's right, today's all-day task is to fill this jungle with all kinds of traps, and then wait for the protein to obediently deliver to your door.
Whether life in the wild is comfortable or not, the quality depends on the food. Wang Xiaotie is not a vegetarian, on the contrary, he loves meat very much! I couldn't afford it before, and I drooled over all kinds of braised pork on the computer screen every day. Now there is a lot of money that can afford it, but because of the threat of a small life limit, there is no time to eat a good meal in reality.
But Wang Xiaotie felt that his life in the copy was also very good, at least every time he got protein, he ate it deliciously, and that kind of taste was definitely not the delicacies he ate in the restaurant.
Wang Xiaotie made a mark as he headed deep into the jungle. Water is not so urgently needed for him, but it is also a good thing to find a water source, in addition to providing himself with stable fresh water, the most important thing is to set a trap near the water source, so that the chance of getting prey is much greater.
After picking a lot of grass seeds like millet, Wang Xiaotie planned to set up more traps for catching birds. First of all, it is necessary for the task, and secondly, he wants to eat the kind of protein that flies in the sky, after all, he has eaten everything that swims in the water and runs on the ground.
The easiest way to make this is to make a trigger from two thin sticks, then together hold up a large rock and place berries or food that birds love to eat on the trigger sticks. As soon as the bird comes to eat food and touches the stick, the stone will immediately fall down.
When Wang Xiaotie sees a stone that can be used, he will make one casually, anyway, it is simple and labor-saving.
Wang Xiaotie also made more than a dozen stilt covers on different low tree trunks. The method of making a stilt trap is a bit more complicated. It had to be powered by ropes and a branch that bent over and over again.
On a branch, bend the branch into a small circle and fix it on it, then fix the end of the rope on the curved power branch, and knot the other end into a live knot (the live knot is a knot that can freely change the size of the rope loop), and use the trigger device of the wooden stick card slot to put it on the trunk under the semicircle.
After placing the food bait, if there is a bird that wants to eat the food on the trunk, it will touch the trigger device, and the rope will be lifted in an instant under the strong force of the power branch, no matter which part of the prey is caught by the rope, it will hit the semi-circular branch, and the impact force is enough to knock any bird directly into the air, and then fall firmly in mid-air.
There are even more ways to catch animals on the ground. In fact, the most time-saving and labor-saving is the next commonly known "rabbit set", which is a camouflaged live knot covering the path, and then tied to a big tree to fix.
Animals that are less alert will walk directly into the "rabbit trap", and then four or their necks will be trapped, and the more they struggle, the tighter they will become, and they will not be able to escape.
But the disadvantage of this trap is also obvious, that is, it is not easy to catch the prey. Animals travel back and forth, always have their own fixed routes, and are so familiar with everything on the route that they usually feel some kind of subtle change.
Unless you are frightened or flee for your life, it is very easy to be hit.
Wang Xiaotie didn't make this kind of trap, he didn't have a hound to hunt down his prey, on the contrary, when those fierce beasts came out to look for food, he didn't want to stay in this jungle at all, if he wasn't careful, he would become food.
Seeing the traces of animals again was lucky for Wang Xiaotie. Due to the tsunami, it is estimated that most of the animals in the South Peninsula were forced to leave their territory, so it stands to reason that there should be a lot of animals in this area.
As long as Wang Xiaotie sees the traces of the animal, he will stop and carefully identify it, even if he can't determine what the animal is, but through the hoof prints, he can almost judge the size of the animal.
He used one of the most laborious, yet safest methods of hunting: digging holes.
Digging a pit can disturb the environment and leave a lasting mark, which can alert some animals. On the other hand, some animals will outweigh their judgment and will come to the test. Foxes, wild boars, wild cats and badgers all dig holes that attract their attention.
Wang Xiaotie dug a few pits in conspicuous places, and then buried them in the soil with sharpened six wooden sticks diagonally downward, so that the tips formed a semicircle at the mouth of the hole. A live knot was then placed on top of it to prevent the caught prey from escaping.
Wang Xiaotie put a peeled oyster meat under the pit, and when some animals stretched their necks to sniff, once they exceeded the mouth of the stake, the neck would be stuck by the sharp wooden tip and could not be retracted.
However, this trap is still very effective against some small animals, if it is really a wild boar, under the protection of the thick fur, this trap will only be destroyed by their brute force.
To deal with wild boars, the trap must be large and deadly enough.
Wang Xiaotie set up the trap while making a mark, slowly spreading towards the depths of the jungle.
Finally, he found a quagmire again, and it was the same trampled mire, with traces of rubbing on the stump next to it.
The only animals that like to play with mud are wild boars, and all wild boars like to bathe in muddy water. The male beast also spends a lot of time rubbing the sides of its body on tree stumps, rocks, and hard river banks, so that the skin is ground into a hard protective layer that can avoid serious injuries during the fight in heat.
Wang Xiaotie found the footprints of the wild boar around the quagmire, found an excellent location, and began to dig a pit with a mountain knife.
This time, he had to dig a very large hole, at least one and a half meters deep, enough for an adult wild boar to fall directly into the pit and not be able to climb up for a while.
This is a hard work, Wang Xiaotie took 4 hours to complete, found a few arm-thick wooden sticks, sharpened them all, and buried them upside down at the bottom of the pit. Then he began to camouflage the trap with sticks and grass until it was no longer a pit.
The attack power of the wild boar is unimaginably high, Wang Xiaotie doesn't want to really catch a wild boar, and he has to find a way to fight it in the pit, those upside-down wooden stakes are enough to puncture their skin when the wild boar falls into the trap, they will be frightened, start to struggle desperately, and finally die of exhaustion in the trap.
