Chapter 6 Traps
Cleaned the peeled skin in the stream, and then cut and washed the skinned wild yellow dog meat, and Lu Yuan returned to the cave with the skin.
I survived all the time, and before I knew it, an hour and a half had passed.
In the cave mansion, which is not too big, a strong aroma comes out.
"The gruel is ready."
Smelling the fragrance of food, Lu Yuan, who had been working for a long time, suddenly had a rumbling stomach.
He picked up the bowl next to him, and it became a bowl of gruel, put it to his mouth and blew it, and then swallowed the first bite with a hot mouth.
Although the morning porridge is simple, just put bacon, sprinkle a handful of wild vegetables, and add a little salt at the end. But delicious ingredients often only require simple ingredients and simple recipes.
Under these all-natural foods, even if it is just cooked into gruel, it is supremely delicious.
At least for Lu Yuan, who has crossed over and become a stranger, it is already a very happy thing to be able to drink a bowl of hot porridge after waking up at this time.
Meimei finished breakfast, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and he started to get busy again.
The peeled wild yellow dog skin should be nitrated, otherwise it will be broken. The divided bones and meat should also be marinated and smoked, otherwise it will stink in less than two days.
The meat of the wild yellow dog is firewood and sour, and the taste is extremely unpalatable, and the rich and noble people disdain to eat this kind of meat.
Only those poor families will buy it to taste the fishy taste.
Even if it is sold in the market, a pound of wild yellow dog meat may be sold for seven or eight cents. Converted to the price of rice, it is less than three catties.
After the wild yellow dog meat was cleaned up, there were still about 100 catties left, and all of them were sold, and they could only get more than 700 yuan.
With such a small amount of money, I worked hard to pick up the meat and sell it at the foot of the mountain, and I was exploited by those gang tax collectors a few times in the middle, and in the end, it would be good to have 400 wen left.
If you work hard to make a hard-earned money, it's better to keep it for yourself.
At the very least, no matter how unpalatable the meat of the wild yellow dog is, it is also meat, and it can also replenish physical energy, which is better than eating rice, isn't it?
The fire was blazing, and on the fire, on the erected branches, the salt had been smeared, and the pickled meat strips were tumbling, and under the smoke of the fire, a little grease was dripping, making the firewood burn more vigorously.
Lu Yuan sat aside, looking at the fire from time to time, and rolled the meat strips.
Bang!
At this time, I saw a muffled sound outside, followed by a series of huge thunderclaps.
The sound of the rain came down the entrance of the cave.
From time to time, a gust of wind howled, carrying wet rain, passed through the vines at the entrance of the cave, crackled against the wooden door, and made a thumping sound.
The cold wind blew in through the cracks, and the fire in front of me couldn't help shaking.
Lu Yuan glanced at the dark tunnel in the distance, felt the cold wind and rain, pulled his collar, turned over the bacon on the fire, and whispered to himself: "From now on, I will live this kind of savage life." ”
……
Following.
The clouds receded and the rain dispersed, and the sun shone brightly.
Lu Yuan raised his knife and bowed, opened the wooden door that had been closed all night, and walked out of his cave.
Yesterday, it took him a day of hard work, and he had already smoked 100 catties of wild yellow dog meat, and then as long as it took another two or three days, it could be completely smoked.
After a delay of two days, coupled with yesterday's heavy rain, Lu Yuan was a little worried about the trap he had arranged in the mountains, so he was going to go out today to check it.
As a qualified hunter, it is of course impossible to hunt in the mountains and forests and directly meet the ferocious beasts face to face.
Not only is that inefficient, it's also dangerous.
A mature hunter is one who is skilled in mastering his own wisdom and laying out hidden but effective traps through which he can capture his prey.
Lu Yuan's predecessor, in this mountain range, set up more than ten traps, specially used to capture wild beasts.
"There was a heavy rain yesterday, and there should be a lot of wild beasts frightened, I don't know if some of them were frightened and fell into my trap."
Lu Yuan thought like this in his heart, and his steps couldn't help but be a little faster.
Although a heavy rain, you may have something to gain. But also because of the heavy rain, the traps you have set may be washed away.
If damage does occur, then even if the prey falls into the trap, it may find an opportunity to escape on its own. It is even possible that other beasts will discover the existence of prey and capture their prey in advance.
In that case, he will work hard for those beasts.
Two hours later.
Lu Yuan looked at the two struggling gray figures in his trap and let out a long breath.
"It's okay, it's finally a bit rewarding, not the worst."
As he spoke, he reached out and lifted up the two gray rabbits below, and threw them into the basket he was carrying.
Two rabbits, that's the harvest of this morning.
Restoring the trap that had been destroyed, Lu Yuan's consciousness focused on his mind, and then looked at the newly appeared information screen [Hunting Trap (Entry)], and couldn't help but nod thoughtfully.
"Sure enough, for a skill, as long as I have a certain understanding, I can materialize it into an attribute panel, and then slowly improve it by farming experience."
After coming down this morning, Lu Yuan went to thirteen trap locations one after another. Some of them were washed away by the rain, some were intact, and some were destroyed by wild beasts.
These traps were repaired after his inspection.
And in this series of processes, the new skill template in front of me, just like the previous [Archery] and [Knife Technique] templates, naturally appeared.
At this time, in Lu Yuan's mind, a complete attribute panel was presented.
[Name: Lu Yuan]
【Talent: Immortality】
[Age: 16]
[Skill: Hunting Trap (Beginner) Crude Knife Technique (Beginner) Humble Archery (Beginner)
"It's just an entry level."
Lu Yuan looked at the skill interface and sighed: "But it's no wonder, it's just a sixteen-year-old boy, and he's still groping by himself, it's not bad to have these introductory skills." ”
Shaking his head, he retracted his consciousness, then checked his trap again, and after confirming that the disguise was okay, he carried today's harvest on his back and walked down the mountain.
Today, I caught two gray rabbits, and after skinning them and making them nitrated, the fur can be sold for forty or fifty yuan. There are also two or three catties of meat left, enough to eat for two days.
Compared with the wild yellow dog in the previous two days, this harvest is naturally not much.
But that's common sense.
The wild yellow dog is a fierce beast that can only be hunted if it has to fight to the death with its own life.
That's exchanging lives for money.
And in front of him, he is hunting gray rabbits by traps, although the harvest is less, but there is no need to risk desperately, right?
I was lucky to be able to pick up two rabbits today.
In normal times, there was no prey in the trap for three to five days, which was a common occurrence.
Now that he can get off to the door and gain something, Lu Yuan is already satisfied.
