【085】Cattle pens and traps

"Well, it seems that there is no way to get it back. Shen Nong said with annoyance, in fact, he had a plan to make a bullpen for the two white cows a long time ago, but then he was delayed by other things, which led to today's mistakes.

In general, Shen Nong is still responsible, if he can build the cattle pen earlier, then it is impossible for the guys from other tribes to take the little white cow away in broad daylight.

"Wu, it's all my fault, it's me who didn't take good care of the calf. The peck said out loud, Shen Nong originally explained to him the matter of looking at the two white cows, but now that one of the cows has been lost, most of the responsibility is indeed on the peck of the bone.

But no matter how much you investigate it now, it is useless, and Shen Nong is not a person who likes to complain, so he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it's okay, let's return to the tribe, now there is only one live cow left in the tribe, you have to take care of it, you can't lose it anymore." ”

"Yes. Bone pecking replied loudly.

"Wu, are we really going back like this?" asked Xiong Sickle reluctantly.

"Then what else can be done, who can find a cow in such a large forest. Shen Nong said helplessly.

Since even Wu said so, the others could only give up and follow Shen Nong back to the tribe.

This time the loss of the cow also made Shen Nong have more eyes, and at the same time, his vigilance has increased a lot, since the two white cows were brought back by him from the foothills of the Black Mountain, Shen Nong has not taken care of them much.

Now after the cattle throwing incident, he realized that he was too negligent in his usual life, not only did he not deal with what he had to do, but also ignored the problem of arming around the tribe.

This time, it was a person who secretly took the cow away, and this loss was acceptable to the Huangqiu tribe, after all, it was just a cow.

But what if it wasn't one person who came this morning, but a group of warriors who were ready to go? What should the unsuspecting Huangqiu tribe use to resist at that time? What will be the end?

Thinking of this question, Shen Nong couldn't help but shudder, the result of this situation was so tragic that even the Huangqiu tribe would be wiped out because of this, becoming an unknown history on this land.

Cold sweat was already beginning to break out on Shen Nong's forehead, and in this sultry weather that was about to usher in the dry season, there was a chill on his back.

During the days when he came to the Huangqiu tribe, Shen Nong was still too nourishing, and he did not encounter any mortal dangers, nor did he encounter crises that left a psychological shadow, so that he only now realized that this world was still very dangerous.

In this vast forest, in addition to the threat posed by wild beasts and ferocious beasts, there are also other tribes hiding in the shadows.

"Arranged, must be armed. Shen Nong made up his mind in an instant.

After returning to the tribe, Shen Nong hurriedly found the four people of Cang, and now these four people are the most important clansmen of Shen Nong, and their importance is even above Chi.

"Wu, what's wrong?" After the four of them gathered around Shen Nong, Cang took the lead in asking.

"A cow has been stolen, and I want you to make me a cattle pen now. ”

The four of them glanced at each other suspiciously, although they didn't know what a bullpen was, but with their previous experience, they knew that Shen Nong would teach them how to make a cowpen.

Sure enough, although Shen Nong did not draw a picture this time, he still concisely and simply told the four people of the warehouse how to build the cattle pen in the form of oral description.

The structure of the cattle pen is actually similar to the cellar that Shen Nong asked them to build before, except that one is buried in the ground and the other is exposed.

After learning from Shen Nong many times, Cang Siren now has a superficial basic understanding of architecture, knowing that after the four pieces of wood are inserted vertically into the ground, they can support the planks and act as a roof.

And between the four logs, a thick and hard fence can be built to prevent the cattle locked in it from escaping.

The speed of Cang and the others is still very fast, because of the large number of wooden houses in the tribe now, the wood reserves are still very rich, and they can choose suitable wood to use to make cattle pens at will.

But Shen Nong's mind was not on this, he was thinking about arming at the moment.

When it comes to defense, the wall is undoubtedly the first choice, but the Huangqiu tribe is obviously unable to start this project at the moment, because the manpower is allocated to build wooden houses.

After excluding the option of the wall, all Shen Nong could consider was the trap, speaking of traps, this was undoubtedly the best means of defense that the Huangqiu tribe could use at present, and Shen Nong also determined it at the first time.

In Shen Nong's memory, the traditional and practical traps include animal traps, sharp knife pile traps, elastic sharp knife traps, horizontal sharp pile traps, pit bait traps, pit sharp pile traps and so on.

Among the most famous and well-known are the traps, knife pile traps and pit traps.

But Shen Nong didn't specialize in this before, and he didn't have much to understand the principle and production method of the trap, so now he had to pass this tool.

Speaking of simple and easy-to-make traps, what impressed Shen Nong the most was undoubtedly the kind of digging a pit in the ground, and then inserting sharpened wooden sticks vertically into the bottom of the pit, and then covering the pit with branches and leaves and dirt, which could not be easily discovered. This kind of trap is called a pit trap.

The other type of trap, called Sharp Knife Pile Fall, is slightly more troublesome to arrange than the previous trap, but it is more concealed and more lethal.

This kind of trap is generally placed on the treetops, and if you don't look up closely, you can't find it at all, plus the relationship between the Huangqiu tribe is located in the forest, and there is a dense foliage to block it, so there is no need to worry about someone finding the sharp knife pile falling.

After some thought, Shen Nong still decided to only do these two traps for the time being, and for now, the safety in the forests around the Huangqiu tribe was determined.

When the sun came to noon, with the help of the four people and a group of clansmen, the cattle pen was quickly built, and the hope of the whole village, the only remaining cow was also forcibly driven into it by the peck bone.

Without giving the four of them a chance to rest, Shen Nong directly pulled the four of them again and taught them how to make those two traps.

Unknown things always make people feel strange, and after hearing that Shen Nong was going to teach them what traps to do, the four of them didn't even bother to eat food, and stood by Shen Nong's side one by one, waiting for his teaching.
