Zhang Qiru decided to stay in this small village for a while, anyway, there is no good place to go at present, so it is better to inquire by yourself. Youjia very politely made another lunch for Zhang Qiru, which made Zhang Qiru very embarrassed.

After eating, Zhang Qiru casually walked around the village to see the surrounding environment. Zhang Qiru made a strange discovery, there were a large number of thorns in front of almost every house, and the hard thorns were a little terrifying, as if they were to defend against something.

"Excuse me, what is this thing for?" Zhang Qiru asked when he saw a young man.

"You say this, to prevent the tanuki from approaching!" The young man said.

"Tanuki?" Zhang Qiru was puzzled.

"Yes, there are a lot of tanuki in the mountains, most of them have evolved, they are more dangerous, and they are relatively large, so in order to prevent tanuki from sneaking up at night, these thorns are installed." The young man said.

"Does this thing work? Such a small thorn? Zhang Qiru looked at the thorns more than two centimeters long, and felt that this thing should not be able to prevent any large animals, right?

"Sir, you don't know, felines have very sensitive claws, and they are very painful when they touch hard thorns!" The young man said.

"How big is a tanuki?" Zhang Qiru asked.

"It's less than a meter long, more than half a meter high, it's fat!" The young man said.

"Can you eat it?" Zhang Qiru asked again.

"Uh...... I heard that the taste of raccoon cats is different from that of domestic cats, which is very good...... However, it is dangerous to take things, and it is not easy to catch! The young man said, and when he saw the gun on Zhang Qiru's body, he added: "If you have a gun, you may not be able to catch it, that thing is cunning!" ”

"Well, no matter how cunning a fox is, he can't fight a good hunter!" Zhang Qiru said with a smile.

"Sir, what's the best idea?" Young people seem to be interested in this.

"Think of one, you can try!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Can you take me with you?" The young man asked excitedly.

"Okay, but let's get ready!" Zhang Qiru said with a smile.

"Well, I'll go tell the village chief and let everyone learn from it!" The young man said.

"Yes, let's go!" Zhang Qiru didn't mind very much, and he also wanted to return the enthusiasm of these people.

After a while, the young man came with some strong men.

"Sir, I heard that you have a way to catch a tanuki, I wonder if it's true?" Said an older man.

"I don't dare to say that it will be successful, you can try!" Zhang Qiru said.

"That's great! Tanuki have always been a big problem for us, and if you can find a way to catch a tanuki, our whole village will thank you! The village chief said excitedly.

"Thank you too soon! I'm just saying try, maybe it will work or it won't! Zhang Qiru said sincerely.

"We trust the government!" The village chief was still excited.

"Then I'll give it a try!" Zhang Qiru said.

"So what help does the chief need? We will not shirk! The village chief said.

"It's very simple, you remove all the thorns from the door of a room that is often occupied, and then fill the walls and windows inside with thorns, and let's catch turtles in an urn!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Uh...... Is that okay? The village chief hesitated.

"Try it and you'll find out! Tanuki haven't been in a house for a long time, and if you see a house that you can enter, you will be very excited, and there will be a human smell when people live in it, and the chance of a tanuki being fooled will be great. As long as the tanuki goes in, close the door, don't think about it if the tanuki can't open the door, and then we have hundreds of ways to catch it! Zhang Qiru said.

"Village Chief, I think this plan is feasible!" An adult man said.

"I think it's feasible, but I'm afraid it won't work if I use it too much!" Another pointed out the inadequacy of such programmes.

"There is no way to use it all the time, this is up to you to figure it out on your own, I'm just providing a temporary way, at least catch a dozen tanuki no problem!" Zhang Qiru said.

"Village Chief, something is better than nothing, we have been harassed by tanuki too much, besides, we haven't had meat for a long time, catching some tanuki can just solve this problem!" A man said.

"Okay! That's it! The village chief decided to give it a try according to Zhang Qiru's method.

So a group of people arranged a house according to Zhang Qiru's method. After everyone finished arranging, it was already evening, and a group of people went back to the room early to hide after a simple meal. According to the villagers, when night comes, the tanuki will go out.

At about eight o'clock, it was already dark for more than an hour, and the tanuki finally appeared. The civet cat's cry was really like a ghost's cry, which was very terrifying, but for Zhang Qiru, it was nothing. Zhang Qiru was in another house not far from the trap room, and a rope came in through the window, and the other end was connected to the door of the trap room.

A dozen tanuki kept scurrying around the few houses in the village to see if any of them could get in. But as usual, every house was filled with thorns, and the tanuki had no chance. Suddenly, a tanuki saw the trap room and immediately became excited, rushing straight towards the trap room, screaming as it ran, as if to remind its companions.

The three tanuki answered the call and rushed to the trap room together. Zhang Qiru stared at a few raccoon cats, and the moment the fourth tanuki entered the room, Zhang Qiru directly pulled the rope, and the door of the trap room closed instantly, and it was buckled on the outside - this was specially designed by Zhang Qiru, in order to prevent the rope from being unable to close the tanuki.

When politely found that the door was closed, he panicked and tried to retreat to the room, but found that the room was surrounded by thorns and there was no way to retreat. The tanuki finally felt desperate and screamed desperately. But there is no way for the tanuki outside, except for the thorns everywhere on the door, and there is no way to save their companions. Several tanuki tried to attack the door, but Zhang Qiru pulled another rope, and bundles of thorns fell from the roof, blocking the last path of the tanuki.

The tanuki was completely desperate and walked anxiously back and forth outside the room. But there was nothing to be done. And Zhang Qiru had already reminded the people in the village that as long as the tanuki was caught, everyone would sleep with confidence, so everyone slept very calmly, regardless of how the tanuki screamed outside.

At dawn the next day, the tanuki were all gone—except for the four trapped.

"Are things ready?" Zhang Qiru asked a few young and strong men.

"Alright, sturdy guaranteed!" A man said.

Several men brought in a large cage and blocked the door of the trap room. Zhang Qiru opened the door, and the four raccoon cats rushed out of the room like crazy and crashed into the finished cage. Zhang Qiru closed the cage door:

"That's it!"
