Chapter 42 is divided into two sections
Obviously, Qian Yan is not the only one who has noticed this problem.
As Li Hao, Wang Qian, and Wang Kun, who often walk outside, they did not ignore this.
They just handed over the medicinal powder they had brought to Yang Dawang and the three of them, and asked them to take them back to the place where they were going to rest at night, and sprinkle them around where they were sleeping, and snakes, insects, rats and ants came over at night.
Because they were all in a hurry the night before, they didn't rest until the morning, so they didn't take it out.
Although the place where they camped before was next to the water, it was relatively wide, there was not much grass, and it was manned during the day, so there were no wild animals to pass by.
Some small animals also do not run out during the day, and snakes that feed on small animals have also become nocturnal animals, so they are safe.
The location here is closer to the mountains, and since there are goats, there must be other beasts that feed on the goats, so it is more dangerous.
After everyone gathered the stones on the ground, Li Hao and the three of them went around to see if there were any traces of wild beasts on the ground.
Sure enough, a little farther away, some wild boar footprints were found.
They didn't find leopards, mainly animals like leopards, which are flexible and light, and sometimes they can scurry around directly in the trees.
If the ground is not quite soft, it is difficult to imprint its footprints, and it is impossible to see it as long as you step on the dry grass.
Wild boars, on the other hand, have bulky bodies and sharp hooves in front of them, and they can easily leave footprints unless they walk on stones.
Li Hao and the others can judge that there are often adult wild boars here based on the footprints left by those wild boars, so it is a little dangerous here.
When they returned, they looked at the place where they were to boil salt, and it was not close to the mountain wall, but it was empty on all sides, and it was difficult to set a trap.
It would be nice if there were two backing walls, they could set traps on both sides, dig traps or set traps.
It's like this on all sides, so it's hard to say, the main thing is that they themselves have to walk back and forth, and if they don't pay attention, they will hurt their own people.
That's a bit of a hassle.
They told Yang Dashan about the situation, and everyone began to think of ways to do the best thing together.
After that, they decided that when refining salt, they would leave two people without having to work, and would deliberately release the wind next to them, so that they could be warned in advance if there was a situation.
Fortunately, this position is relatively high, and there are three sides that are lower than here, as long as there are two people watching.
As for the side down from the mountain, they decided to dig a row of trenches and put sharp branches in them as traps, so that if the wild boar came running up the mountain, it would fall straight down.
And if they come up from the mountain, they can see it from a distance, and they have time to hide behind the trap and wait for the wild boar to come to the door by itself.
This is the easiest and most effective way to do it.
There was also the matter of going back to change shifts and rest, they also discussed, they couldn't work for two hours and then change, and it was more dangerous to walk in the mountains at night, so they decided to work for one night first, and a wave of people to rest, and then come back to change during the day, and it was much safer to change at dawn.
The men and women of their group plus Li Hao are almost balanced, so every time they change shifts, they only need to arrange four people who can do kung fu.
Although he knew that Qian Yan had kung fu on her body, Li Hao and the three of them had not seen it with their own eyes after all, so they were still not very relieved, and prepared for the three of them to take turns to protect these people separately.
Of course, in fact, it is not that the three of them are separated, but Wang Qian and Wang Kun are separated and take turns back and forth, and one person must be left to protect the pillar.
Qian Yan has no opinion at all, although the number of people separated from the two parties is not much, there are only eight people in a wave, but if there is really danger, it is impossible for her to take care of all of them alone, and it is of course best to have a helper.
And the ugly ugly is to try to stay on this side of the mountain, after all, this side is more dangerous, even if it sleeps, you can find a tree to sleep on, and you don't need it to work, just try to let the ugly as a warning.
Soon after the agreement, Yang Dawang and the others also came back with people.
When the three of them went back before, they drove the donkey back, so when they came back, the pots and pans were all put in the basket for the donkey to carry up.
In addition to Liu Sanli, Orchid, her grandmother and Yang Xuanzhu's wife did not come, everyone else came, of course, the ugly ugly was still guarding over there.
They got together, first by the tilt Yan to demonstrate the method, everyone learned how to do it, and then divided into two groups, one group left and the other group went back to rest first, and then came back to replace it every day during the day.
Qian Yan looked at the clay pot in front of her, she had a headache, this pot is not big, not to mention, it is thick and afraid of falling, if you boil the salt stone, to be honest, it is very laborious.
The problem is that there is no way to use anything else now, and even if there is clay here, it will not be too late to burn it now, and she really can't.
She'd just heard that pottery was made of clay, and she really didn't know how to make it.
And even if she wanted to make a small move, there was no pot in the ugly space, only the big stainless steel jar she used before, which was not as big as the clay pot.
