Why is Hongxia'er in such a hurry?

After the sudden expansion of her team, the original food was not enough to eat, and she had to hurry up and set up the base camp so that she could free up her hands to solve the food problem.

There are also training problems and future development direction issues, all waiting for Hongxia'er to solve.

In the evening of that day, the exploration team led by the son of Lao Wumei came back and reported that in the northwest direction of this one hundred and eighty miles away, there was a big mountain called Shuangfeng Ridge, there was a small river under the mountain, there was a spring on the mountain, and there was a small plain with a radius of twenty or thirty miles on the mountainside between the two peaks, which was very suitable for the base camp to be stationed.

However, there is a litter of leopards living in the mountain, about five, and they often go down the mountain to "disturb the people" and hunt other animals.

Hongxia'er personally led twenty or thirty wild dogs and a fox archery team to inspect it.

They had no clothes to wear, and they could hardly carry anything like dry food on them.

They had to hunt once a day on the march, but a clever fox hid two small flints and steels on the vines so that they would not be allowed to eat raw and cold food again.

In this way, while marching and hunting, the speed was naturally not fast, and it was not until the afternoon of the third day that they reached the vicinity of the Twin Peaks.

When they arrived, she asked everyone to hide in the grass in the woods.

Then, she carefully observed the topography of the Twin Peaks Ridge and found that there was a winding river in front of her, and the Twin Peaks Ridge on the other side of the small river, one large and one small peaks (the big peak is about seven or eight hundred meters high, and the small peak is about six or seven hundred meters high), like a couple of affectionate lovers, holding hands to protect their homeland.

From now on, her tribe will dig holes in the peaks of the Twin Peaks to make shelters, grow food and dig trenches, traps and other fortifications on the mountainside.

In addition, the west and north sides of the mountain are steep and difficult to defend, and the south and east sides are gentle and difficult to defend, so it is necessary to strengthen the defense of the southeast side after the occupation of this area.

The main task at present is to find out the specific situation of those leopards, so as to eliminate these beasts and remove the biggest obstacle for the future encampment here.

Thinking of this, Hongxia'er ordered the two most astute foxes to cross the river and inquire about the two peaks and see which peak the leopard lived on.

After dark, the team lights a fire to cook, and naturally hunts the captured animals on the barbecue road.

During the day, they did not dare to make a fire, for fear that the smoke would be discovered by wild beasts far away, but at night they were not afraid to make a fire in the woods, because the dense woods obscured the fire, and it was difficult to find it if it was not very close (within two hundred meters).

In the evening, Hongxia'er's team gathered around the fire, roasting the fire, waiting, and it was not until midnight that the two fox scouts came back one after another to report.

The leopard lives in a leeward cave near the summit of that large mountain, and is a leopard every time it goes out, and it is rare to see more than two at the same time. The main road turns many bends to the plain woods on the mountainside, and the path leads to the large forest behind the peak.

Hongxia'er told the two fox scouts to go to the other side during the day the next day to make sure to find out the approximate time when the leopards would go out to hunt.

In addition, she asked the rest of her men to try to catch two or three large live herbivorous prey (such as bison, deer, and goats) as bait for the leopard to be hunted in the mountains and forests on this side of the river, preferably within two days, and also to look for some scraps of dry wood and hay.

From the next day, Hongxia'er and the others began to act separately.

Some paparazzi intimidate and drive the prey to the ambush site, where the fox at the ambush site trips the prey with a tree vine as a tripwire, and then the paparazzi go up and hold the prey, and then the fox puts the prey around the neck and takes it away.

The other part of the paparazzi and foxes are responsible for finding dry branches and hay in the nearby mountain forest, which is easier to do, because such dry branches and hay can be found everywhere in the primeval forest, which is the main cause of forest fires.

Hongxia'er was lucky, and these two things were done in one day.

On the morning of the third day, Hongxia'er officially began the operation of killing leopards.

An hour before the leopard appeared, they tied a captured live goat to a tree trunk in the middle of a small flat on the side of the trail behind the hill where the leopard might have passed, and the surrounding area was 50 square meters full of dry wood and hay.

On another main road, a lot of dry wood was piled up and set on fire, forcing the leopard to take the path.

It didn't take long for the sheep tied to the tree to call incessantly, attracting two leopards, one large and one small.

Then, the two leopards jumped over the firewood piled up around them and pounced on the goats tied to the trees, and soon killed the goats and ate them.

Seeing this scene, Hongxia'er, who was lying in ambush around, hurriedly called the foxes to shoot resin rockets at the dry pyre.

After a while, the dry wood surrounding the sheep tree burned, and the leopard was frightened, coughing while trying to break out, but was forced back by the raging fire.

Seeing that the leopard was about to be burned to death, unexpectedly, "there are no three sunny days in spring", and it actually rained in the sky, and it became heavier and heavier.

It didn't take long for the fire to gradually extinguish, and the two leopards, who were blackened by the fire and black smoke, took the opportunity to escape with their lives.

Hongxia'er was stunned when she saw this, in fact, this was the first failure since she led the team, and it was also Feifei's second failure, and Feifei's first failure took the life of his predecessor Lao Jiu.

Seeing that "the cooked ducks have flown away", Hongxia'er was simply stunned.

When everyone returned to their temporary camp on the other side of the river, she pondered what was the best way to drive away the beasts during this rainy spring season.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally came up with a good solution.

She ordered the two wild dogs that were strong and fast to eat immediately, naturally they did not light a fire and ate raw meat, and let them set off immediately after eating, and went to the old den to pick up the rescuers by day and night, and informed all the teams in the base camp to rush over as quickly as possible, except for the logistics, and bring flints, dry food, and seeds as much as possible.
