Chapter 199: Captured Alive
On the afternoon of December 3, Xu Shiyan led his two elder brothers, carrying four door-like things, as well as shovels, pickaxes and other tools.
From the entrance field, we will go straight to the place where I discovered the mountain donkey road.
When he got there, Xu Shiyan walked around a few more times and confirmed that he had been here for the last day or two.
After finding the right position, Xu Shiyan asked the two brothers to help, cleared the snow, and then gathered the fire.
When the fire is finished, the frozen ground under it will be softer.
Fortunately, at the beginning of December, the ground has not yet completely frozen, and it will be easier to bake the frozen soil layer above.
After a long day's effort, the three brothers finally dug out four traps, and then installed the door on top.
Then sprinkle a thin layer of soil on top of the door, a layer of old snow, and finally, put some frozen greens, cabbage leaves and other things on it.
After all this work, it was already dark, and my brother was near here, setting up a ground.
The three of them nested in the ground and dealt with each other all night, and when the east was just bright, the three of them hurried up.
Xu Shiyan asked the two brothers to go a little farther away, he was here, hiding in the small bushes, "Young ...... Youyi ......" began to call the musk deer.
It blew for a long time, but there was no movement.
Xu Shixian and Xu Shi'an in the distance both shook their heads, not knowing what the third child was trying to do.
Xu Shiyan was not discouraged at all, and continued to blow, and after a while, there was a sudden movement in the jungle in the distance.
Then, I saw more than a dozen fawn-like animals running out of the woods to the east.
The Xu Shixian brothers hid behind the bushes and did not dare to move, for fear of disturbing the group of animals.
And Xu Shiyan still kept making noises, luring those incense roe deer towards the location of the trap.
Needless to say, this group of fragrant roe deer must be male.
Hearing Xu Shiyan's movement, he thought that there was a "female companion" here, so he hurried over.
As a result, when I got here, I looked around, but I couldn't find anyone I liked.
Suddenly, a fragrant roe deer in the lead spotted the emerald green cabbage leaves and frozen green on the ground.
In winter, when the vast wilderness and plants and trees are withering, it is difficult for the roe deer to eat.
This cold and undear found that there was something delicious, and the fragrant roe deer stared at the rare delicacy in front of them.
There seems to be some hesitation, should I eat, or go to my partner?
The food is in front, and it is obvious that being hungry is more important than finding a female companion, and the leader only hesitated for a moment, and then quickly rushed towards the food.
The ones behind couldn't wait to keep up, even faster than the leader jumped.
As a result, as soon as they jumped up, the trap door of the trap was directly knocked over, and several incense roe deer fell into the trap.
Some of them fell in and were locked in by the door, and some of them were clamped with their heads, pouting their butts and flopping, trying to retract their heads.
Others only fell into one leg and were caught by the door, struggling to break free.
There were only four traps, and there were probably three or four of them, and the others found that they were wrong, so they turned around and ran away.
At this time, the Xu Shiyan brothers jumped up, holding a rope in their hands, and directly tied the struggling Xiangzhang to the four hooves.
After that, Xu Shiyan took out a strip of black cloth from his pocket and blindfolded the fragrant deer.
Then turn out the high liquor, take a sip in your mouth, and spray it towards the nostrils of the fragrant roe deer.
The roe deer was smoked by the strong smell of wine, and suddenly his head was dizzy, like a drunk, his whole body was weak, he was groggy, and he was unable to struggle.
Four doors, finally grabbed three fragrant roe deer, one of which caught the leg, took the opportunity to break free and run.
The three brothers didn't care about the fragrant roe deer that ran away, they picked up the fragrant deer with one hand and the fragrant deer with the other, and just walked back.
returned to the field and put the incense roe deer in the enclosure that Xu Shiyan had surrounded before.
"Third child, you can do anything. What are you going to do with these three roe deer? Kill the musk directly? ”
It wasn't until the fragrant roe deer was locked up that Xu Shixian had time to ask.
"Big brother, I have something to ask you for help." Xu Shiyan looked at his eldest brother.
"Borrow your pen and write an article, I want to find a way to find someone to hand it over, and it is best to send it to the newspaper."
Xu Shiyan has been thinking about this matter for a long time, he has a low culture, and he can't write, so he has to ask his brother for help.
Xu Shixian was stunned when he heard it, "What? Write an article to send to the newspaper? Don't make a fuss, I don't dare. ”
When he was young, he dared to write anything when he was hot-blooded, but now that he has a family and a business, Xu Shixian doesn't dare to mess around anymore.
"Brother, it's not those articles, I'll ask you to write an article about animal protection.
In particular, animals with medicinal value such as deer and musk deer are not too harmful to people and crops, and need to be protected. ”
What to say, if Xu Shiyan didn't plan to engage in breeding, he would definitely not have thought of these.
But since he had this idea last year, Xu Shiyan has been pondering.
In the entire Changbai Mountain area, how many hunters are like him?
As forests are gradually deforested, the living environment of wild animals is gradually shrinking, and they are indiscriminately hunted and killed by hunters.
The populations of these animals are bound to gradually decrease or even die out.
Don't mention anything else, just talk about this fragrant roe deer and deer.
In order to hunt musk, the hunters beat the roe deer to death and cut off the sachets.
In order to hunt deer antlers, most of the deer are killed and cut off.
Is there any other way?
In fact, there are other ways to take musk without harming the life of the roe deer.
In that case, why not think of a way to let the people above know?
Perhaps, when everyone knows this method, is it possible to save the lives of a few fragrant roe deer?
Xu Shiyan didn't know if it would be useful for him to do this, but he was willing to do his part.
Whether it worked or not, he did it, and it was better than nothing.
Xu Shixian listened to his younger brother's words, pondered for a long time, and then sighed.
"I can help you write this article, but I don't dare to say whether it is useful to write it.
I think it's enough, how many people understand this? It's like me and my second child, if it weren't for being with you these days and listening to your nagging, we wouldn't understand.
In our hearts, as long as we can make money, do I care if the roe deer or the deer live or die? ”
Xu Shixian's words represent the thoughts of ordinary people, the majority of people.
If Xu Shiyan hadn't been reborn, he would definitely think the same, life hasn't been good yet, who cares so much?
As long as you can earn money, is it wrong to kill a few fragrant roe deer and a few deer?
"Big brother, it's man-made, I don't know if it has any effect, but I want to promote the method of picking musk."
This can be regarded as a little selfishness of Xu Shiyan.
Because at present, the musk purchased by the pharmaceutical factory acquisition point is the whole sachet together.
The method Xu Shiyan said to collect musk is all powder, and I am afraid that people will not buy it at all.
Only when it has attracted the attention of the upper echelons, especially the medical community, and this method is recognized, can the musk picked by Xu Shiyan be accepted and valuable.
Otherwise, even if he raised these fragrant roe deer, it would be useless, and sooner or later he would have to kill them, so it would be meaningless.
"Anyway, you have a reason, come on, you can nag me again at night, and I will write it for you."
