Section 22 The harvest is abundant

Plan and act after planning, and think in the long run. Wei XVII drew a map of Tiandu Peak, the mountains, forests, and streams and springs were scaled down to be as accurate as possible, and he marked the places where the green wolves caught the Jinwen rats on the map one by one, delineating a general range - this kind of litter of more than a dozen small beasts, most of them live in groups, find their nests, and catch them all, you can save a lot of work.

Qin Zhen cultivated by the Kuji Spring, and Wei Qiqi left the green wolf to take care of him and set out to find the nest of the Jinwen rat.

From Kuji Spring to the north, over several mountains, all the way carefully searching, suddenly saw a gray shadow from not far away, Wei XVII reacted very quickly, turned over and took off the bow and arrow, did not wait for the bowstring to be full and let go, an arrow shot into the air, the gray shadow was frightened, turned around and turned around, after a little delay, Wei XVII shot several arrows in a row, and finally hit the target.

It was a fat hare, with a dull coat and twitching limbs, and an arrow piercing its neck. "Wild meat delivered to the door!" Wei Qiqi quickly wrung off the hare's head, peeled off the skin, hollowed out the internal organs, leaving only the red flesh of the body and limbs, rinsed it in the stream, and supported it with three branches, two short and one long, into a "big" character, which was inserted diagonally in the soil, and slowly roasted by a fire.

The grease dripped into the fire, creaking, and the fragrance curled and dissipated in the forest. Wei Qiqi sprinkled some salt on the rabbit meat, and thought while eating: "A mere hare, the action is so agile, it takes three or five arrows to hit, if it is replaced by a dozen Jinwen rats, how much can you kill with a bow and arrow?"

He pondered for a while, ate the rabbit meat, wiped off the grease on the placket of his clothes, went straight to the forest to find some materials to hand, and made three throwing guns and hundreds of sleeves. Throw the spear with a stiff and straight branch, peel off the bark, cut into the shape of the two ends with the tip of the middle thick, the sleeve is much more troublesome, there is no ready-made rope, you can only pick the tough bark, little by little.

The little beast in the mountain takes a fixed animal path, and it is said that the sleeve is on the line, and if it encounters a Jinwen rat that has become a fine spirit, it will be dealt with with with a throwing gun.

Making throwing guns and sleeves is a temporary idea, there is no suitable tool, you can only use a short knife to wash and peel game, it is time-consuming and laborious, Wei Qiqi remembered that there were a few firewood knives in the firewood room, and reminded himself to bring one up the mountain next time.

After working for a long time, Wei Qiqi put away his throwing gun and sleeve, identified the direction, and continued to go north. After walking for half an hour, a gray cliff blocked the view, the mountain was full of rocks, the cracks in the stone were entwined with thorns and thorn vines, desolate and lonely, in the shade, three majestic spruce finished glyphs stood in the bushes, separated by a distance of a few feet, there were two thinner spruce, the branches were blown to the side by the mountain wind.

A lead-gray brocade rat poked its head out from under the tree, stretched its nose, sniffed cautiously at the air, and then retracted after a moment.

Wei Qiqi hid downwind, squinted his eyes and looked for a long time, and found that between the three spruces, there was a dark cave, which was hidden by a small bush, which was difficult to detect, and there were faint traces of beasts at the entrance of the cave. He did not startle the snake, but took a light step, carefully stepped back, searched inch by inch around the spruce, and sure enough, he found two more hidden holes.

That's the nest of the Jinwen rat.

Wei XVII followed the path of the beast's tracks, and set up a series of rope traps, which stretched into the thorns and thorny vines, and then lifted the heavy stones to block the other two exits. Although he was large, his movements were swift and light, and he did not alarm the prey in the nest in the slightest.

The sun was in the west, the mountain peaks were blowing towards the entrance of the cave, Wei XVII lit the dead branches with a fire sickle, threw them into the bushes, the tongue of fire crackled, the smoke billowed out, and poured into the cave.

Rather than putting the whole litter of small beasts with the pot end, it is better to catch one or two heads every three or five times, and the water flows for a long time, and the hunters in the mountains understand this simple truth even if they don't read.

The bushes burned out, the fire gradually decreased, and there was a commotion in the cave, and the Jinwen rat rushed left and right, suffering from the other two cave entrances being blocked, and there was no way out, so he had to take the risk of jumping out of the fireworks, following the usual beast tracks, and crashing into the trap set by Wei XVII, unable to break free.

Wei Qiqi saw it clearly, there was a Jinwen rat that was obviously larger than his peers, and his strength was unusually great, his hind legs were covered by a sleeve, and he struggled to break the tough rope. He lifted the throwing gun, slammed it on his target's arm, and the throwing gun flew out with great force, pinning the rat demon to the ground, squeaking and screaming.

He took another throwing spear and held it in his hand, his eyes blazing, searching for the second rat demon.

It gradually fell silent, except for the "crackling" of the bushes, and a fire from time to time. In just a few minutes, Wei Qiqi hunted and killed three Jinwen rats with a throwing gun, and he gained a lot. He put his prey on his throwing gun, loosened the sleeve one by one, and let the rest of the Jinwen rats go, and they scattered and fled, and in a blink of an eye they were all gone.

Wei Qiqi was worried about the spread of the mountain fire, so he used floating soil to extinguish the flames, trampled firmly, and looked at the smoky cave, his heart couldn't help but move, the exit of the lair was very wide, and the surrounding soil and stones were pressed tightly and smooth, which seemed to be caused by the perennial entry and exit of wild beasts and the friction of fur.

There is also a big guy in the cave, not in a hurry to escape, but waiting for an opportunity to take revenge!

Wei Qiqi approached step by step with a throwing gun, and suddenly heard a ferocious roar, and a rat demon the size of a calf sprang out of the cave, jumped to the height of more than a person, and opened its mouth to bite him down fiercely.

Wei Qiqi raised the throwing gun and stopped it in front of his chest, was bitten by the rat demon, kicked his chest with his hind legs, his teeth closed suddenly, and the throwing gun was bitten off with a "click", which was extremely fierce. Wei Qiqi took a few steps back, and without waiting to regain his footing, he first threw out the half-volley throwing gun in his hand to gain some time to adjust.

This big guy is really powerful, alert and flexible, and it seems that he will have some fighting postures. Wei Qiqi's mind turned sharply, he took another throwing gun, saw that he threw it with all his strength, and at the moment of the shot, his wrist twisted slightly, and the throwing gun flew out of a straight line, spinning and piercing towards the rat demon. Just when he thought that this throw was safe, the rat demon turned into an afterimage and flashed to the side quickly.

Wei Qiqi clenched the short knife, fully on guard, and prepared for hand-to-hand combat.

The rat demon roared a few more times, and deftly rounded the rope trap, turning into an afterimage again. Wei Qiqi caught a glimpse of a gray shadow rushing straight to his throat, snorted, and quickly swung his short knife, which seemed to stab a tough and thick cowhide, which was not deep into the flesh, and only a few drops of blood were sprinkled.

The rat demon became more and more crazy, and Wei Qiqi was bitten in several places one after another, and he saw blood. The two sides come and go, neither of them back down, Wei Qiqi simply dropped the short knife, and fought against the rat demon with his strong body and technical punches, his blood was flying, his fists were fist-filled, and it took a meal to beat the rat demon to death.
