Episode 214: Pigs, Hares
"These eggs are all broken, and they look like they have been eaten by some animal. ”
Looking at the debris all over the ground, Zhao Ying squatted down and picked up a piece of broken eggshell, and couldn't help but show a little surprise on her face: "The remaining egg whites haven't dried yet, and it looks like they've just been eaten." ”
"It's a wild boar. ”
Cheng Fei also squatted on the ground, stretched out his hand, and gestured to the footprints on the ground: "It's not the one you and Wang Zheng met yesterday, this one should be smaller." ”
"What?"
Hearing this, Zhao Ying's face couldn't help but change: "Are there other wild boars on this island?" The ferocity of the wild boar, she had already seen it yesterday, and even almost lost her life, only one was still like this, and now another one actually appeared!
"It's normal. ”
Cheng Fei said: "Wild boars were originally social animals, and now it seems that there must be a huge herd of wild boars on this island. ”
"A bunch?!"
When Zhao Ying heard this, on her forehead, she couldn't help but sweat coldly, in the wilderness, encountering an adult wild boar is already a very dangerous thing, let alone a group, this is simply a nightmare.
"Don't be afraid. ”
Cheng Fei patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Although so, in fact the situation is not so bad. ”
"Why?"
Zhao Ying forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart, and asked out with a bit of curiosity, "Could it be that this situation is not bad enough?"
"At least, this boar is not as big as yesterday's. ”
Cheng Fei said with a smile: "You look at the footprints of the wild boar, it is not very big, indicating that its size is not very large, according to my speculation, this wild boar should have just become an adult, and it has not even grown its fangs, and it is not as terrible as you imagined, but everyone still has to be very careful, and I should also make some self-defense weapons for everyone." ”
Originally, this was not a very necessary thing, but now, on Hidden Dragon Island, there is not only an unknown ancient mountain forest, but also a group of wild boars.
After all, what could be more important than your life?
"Crafting weapons?"
Hearing this, Zhao Ying's eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, as long as we have weapons, we don't have to be afraid of beasts." ”
"Let's go, this is not a place to stay. ”
Cheng Fei said: "Although we haven't been able to harvest wild eggs, this pheasant is already a very good harvest, and we will pick some berries later, which is enough for a meal at night." ”
"Good. ”
This is a place where wild boars are infested, it is very dangerous, Zhao Ying naturally didn't want to stay longer, at the moment, hurriedly followed Cheng Fei, and the two followed the road they came from, returning to the camp.
After a while, they came to the place where the red berries were found, picked some with their hands, wrapped them in large leaves, and put them in the big bag that Cheng Fei was carrying, ready to take them back to taste for the partners in the camp.
Speaking of which, their harvest this trip is still very good, not to mention these delicious berries, just that pheasant, very fat, can weigh three or four catties, enough for their jungle family to eat a beautiful dinner.
The way back is slightly faster than when you came, after all, when you come, you have to see if there is any prey or food along the way, which will inevitably slow down the progress.
"Hey, isn't this where we found rabbit droppings?"
When passing through a dense forest, Zhao Ying's eyes suddenly lit up, looked around, waited to confirm the environment, and couldn't help but feel a little excited: "Patriarch, I remember that you seem to have set a trap here before, let's go, let's go over and see if you have caught a rabbit, well, the rabbit hole should be over there, right?"
I have to say that Zhao Ying's memory is really good, after wandering around the jungle for most of the day, and now that she has turned back, she can still identify the general location of the rabbit nest, which is enough to beat many people.
"No problem. ”
In this regard, Cheng Fei naturally would not object, after all, the purpose of setting the trap was to catch rabbits, after such a long time, the time should be almost up, and then he nodded to himself and said: "Let's go over and take a look, maybe there is really something to gain, if there is a meal, if not, leave it for the next time." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead in the direction of the rabbit's nest. Even Zhao Ying can remember the general location of the rabbit's nest, let alone him?
No way, that's the superiority of being a psychic powerhouse!
Who told us to be good at it?
Spiritual ability, may not be the strongest in the type of ability, but in terms of brain domain development, it has a unique advantage, with the continuous growth of spiritual ability, Cheng Fei's mind also began to improve unconsciously, whether it is memory, analysis, comprehension or perception, it is much stronger than before, ordinary people can't compare at all.
The two of them were not far from the rabbit's nest, and soon they came to the neighborhood.
"Hey, patriarch, there's only one piece of your shoelace left. ”
Zhao Ying looked over at a glance and found that only one section of the shoelace that Cheng Fei used to arrange the trap was left outside, and the other section seemed to be missing.
"Hah!"
Hearing this, Cheng Fei chuckled to himself: "It's not that it's gone, but the prey is covered, if my guess is right, the rabbit has been caught in the trap, because the rabbit pulled its shoelaces and escaped into the hole, so only half of it was left outside." ”
"Huh?"
Zhao Ying's eyes widened, a little incredulous: "Patriarch, your shoelace trap really caught the rabbit?!"
In other words, although she watched Cheng Fei set the trap with her own eyes, she didn't think that this simple trap made of shoelaces could catch the prey.
But now, it turns out, her hunch seems to have gone wrong.
"Pull it out and take a look. ”
Cheng Fei immediately came to the entrance of the cave and squatted down, he pulled his shoelaces in one hand and held a dog-legged knife in the other, turned his head to Zhao Ying and said, "The next scene may be a little bloody, so if you can't stand it, then turn your head." ”
"I'm not afraid!"
Zhao Ying patted her chest and said: "Anyway, I am also from the countryside, and during the New Year's holidays, I have seen a lot of chickens and ducks killed at home, don't believe it, in fact, I have killed chickens with my own hands." ”
"That's good. ”
Survival in the jungle was originally natural selection, survival of the fittest, since Zhao Ying said that he was not afraid, Cheng Fei didn't say much, he grabbed the hand of his shoelace and began to pull it outward.
The trap did catch the prey, because when Cheng Fei pulled the shoelaces out, he obviously felt the pulling force coming from inside.
"Yo, it's not small!"
With a slight smile, Cheng Fei continued to exert his strength, and the rabbit in the cave seemed to feel that he was about to be in trouble, and struggled in the hole and refused to come out. It's a pity that in the face of Cheng Fei, its struggle didn't play a role, and it was finally pulled out of the hole by Cheng Fei.
This is a very fat gray hare, full of wildness, and the moment it is dragged out of the hole, it is about to fly away immediately, and the speed is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
However, although its reaction was fast, Cheng Fei's reaction was faster than it.
At the moment when the rabbit jumped up and wanted to escape, he saw the dog-legged knife in Cheng Fei's hand suddenly lifted, and the sharp blade roared through the air...........
