This period is when pheasants pair up and breed. Using the pheasant flute to simulate the cries of female pheasants can attract other pheasants to come.
It is a hunting method that is rarely used in hunting these days - sound luring.
The fact is that in the eyes of many hunters, just hunting pheasants, pheasants, etc. is not considered hunting. It is called playing.
Unlike later generations where guns were banned and prey was scarce, occasionally wanting to catch some game would test your means and luck.
Therefore, when capturing pheasants, rails and other birds, it is more often done by setting buttons, supplemented by whistles, feather sounds, matchbirds and other means. Some people specially raise 繇子 to lure and trap the hunter.
Of course, these days, there are also clever hunters who have mastered excellent ventriloquism, or use some tools to simulate the sounds made by animals to lure prey to their doorstep.
This is a very difficult skill that ordinary hunters cannot master easily.
The pheasant flute made by Lu Lu is a type of whistle.
In his previous life, when he went into the mountains to collect mountain products, he came into contact with many hunters. He also learned and heard many hunting techniques from them. This pheasant flute was just a small means.
If the sound produced by the pheasant flute is realistic enough, it can attract pheasants even if it is not the mating period.
He felt a little happy, took the pheasant flute into his mouth again, and blew it twice gently.
When using the pheasant flute, the sound should not be too frequent. Frequent whistling can easily produce strange sounds, leading to failure.
The projectile flew out quickly and accurately hit the head of the pheasant who stopped again to listen to its cries.
He was walking back with the pheasant in hand, and when he turned the corner, he suddenly noticed smoke coming from the chimney of the cellar.
After going around a corner and walking to the river beach about three to four hundred meters away from the cellar, Lu Lu chose a dry place to sit down, hiding among the weeds. He put the pheasant flute into his mouth and blew a few whistles.
Just wait quietly.
Lu Lu thought to himself.
In total, it was only three yuan. It was not a big deal. Wang Demin would not do anything to her. Li Shumei had already experienced this.
"You're dreaming, you can ask for money. Give me back my chicken! If the chicken doesn't come out, you can't ask for the money... Why, you still want to fight with me? You wasteful thing..." Li Shumei
He was not timid, but raised the spatula in his hand, as if he was ready to fight.
Now, when the pheasant heard the sound, it seemed a little excited, and walked towards Lu Lu while croaking.
…
Li Shumei is blanching the thorn buds she picked in the house, then draining them and drying them in the sun for storage.
To make and use the pheasant flute, you need to be familiar with the sounds of pheasants and practice repeated simulations to ensure that the sound is similar before it can be used.
…
Seeing this, Lu Lu gently picked up the slingshot projectiles that had been prepared, and when the pheasant walked into the range of the slingshot, he slowly opened the bow skin.
This afternoon's hard work was not in vain.
What's going on?
Lu Lu was a little confused. He didn't even eat lunch in the cellar today, and he didn't light a fire at all. Why was there smoke coming out of the chimney at this time?
There is only one possibility, someone went in.
Yuan Bao led the three pups and followed them silently. Lu Lu didn't plan to go far, and the three pups were at their most naughty and troublesome. He didn't want the pheasants he had attracted to be frightened away by the pups.
He was left in the cellar to look after the house.
"The medical expenses are less than two yuan. You old woman, you accept so much money from others, why do you still want to be shameless? You are so shameless, I still want it. I have been practicing medicine all my life, and all the reputation I have accumulated is ruined.
You old woman has it in your hands! Take the money out for me...I'll give it back." Wang Demin was furious.
His pheasant flute, made of apricot kernels, has good breathing control and the sound it makes is 90% similar to that of a female pheasant. It is no problem at all for luring.
Snapped……
This slow speed made Lu Lu anxious. If he got closer, it would be easy to scare away the pheasant, but the slingshot couldn't reach it.
Sure enough, the pheasant suddenly became alert and stood still, tilting its head to look at the place where the sound came from.
When pheasants pair up in spring, female calls are often used to attract male and female pheasants. In autumn, male pheasants are used to lure male pheasants, taking advantage of the aggressive characteristics of male pheasants.
This is a true portrayal of the Great Northern Wilderness, which is enough to illustrate the abundance of pheasants in this place.
Wang Demin was so angry that he was trembling. The matter was not serious, and no matter what he did, it was inappropriate. In the end, he could only squeeze out this sentence from his mouth bitterly: "Why did I marry you, a money-minded thing?
"
If the sound is different, not only will it not attract pheasants, but it will arouse suspicion and fear, and they will run away after hearing the sound.
Most wild animals are extremely sensitive, and pheasants are no exception.
Lu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly adjusted his breathing, and blew twice more.
Wang Demin drove the carriage back home, unloaded the carriage, tied the horse, poured some fodder into the trough made by the birch tree, fed it, and walked quickly towards the house.
It's the end of April, and the weather is getting warmer. In the days without refrigerators, the ice and snow on the mountains have almost melted. The thorn buds cannot be frozen to keep them fresh, so they can only use the sun-drying method, although the taste will be worse.
But in winter, it is also a good dish.
Weak sounds can attract nearby pheasants, while strong sounds can easily scare away pheasants in the distance. It also has a lot to do with factors such as whether there is wind or not.
The stick beats the roe deer and the gourd scoops out the fish, and the pheasant flies into the rice pot...
The pheasant lingered for a while, and after not hearing the sound of the female pheasant for a long time, Lu Lu saw that it was about to turn around and return to the forest, so he couldn't help but blow the pheasant flute again.
Wang Demin entered the room and asked with a straight face: "How much did you pay Lu Lu again?"
Maybe it was because the cracking sound just now was not loud.
"Oops!" Lu Lu said secretly.
After finding a few wooden sticks for simple repairs, Lu Lu used nails to hammer a cane for himself, took the slingshot and clay balls, and walked towards the meadow.
Now that his foot is injured and he can't go up the mountain, he can only consider these methods. Besides having fun, he also hopes to gain some small gains.
He didn't fly away immediately!
Moreover, the strength of the sound is also very particular.
It can be said that pheasants are one of the animals that people are most familiar with and have the most contact with.
After a few minutes, a pheasant came out of the forest on the hillside with its head peeping out, chirping from time to time and hesitantly approaching a little closer.
He heard these things from others.
Time flies, and more than two hours have passed. Seeing that it is getting late, just when Lu Lu feels that he may not have much harvest today and is about to return, he suddenly hears a sound coming from the forest. He can vaguely distinguish it as a sound.
The cry of a male pheasant.
Even though it is just a gadget, there are many ways to do it.
"You're just trying so hard and you still want to fuck the pheasant?"
This pheasant is quite big and heavy in the hand, especially its tail feathers, which are even more beautiful.
"Five yuan, he said it was medical expenses, what happened?" Li Shumei used a spatula to stir up the thorn buds in the boiling water without even looking at Wang Demin.
The pheasant screamed in fright, flopped on the ground, and gradually became silent.
Now, Lu Lu just used it with the attitude of giving it a try. Anyway, he couldn't do anything, so he just practiced it. If he succeeded, he could be regarded as mastering a small skill.
He was not very proficient yet, and would make a cracking sound or a strange sound from time to time, but with constant practice, this happened less and less.
Lu Lu happily stood up with his cane, walked towards the pheasant, and picked it up.
Lu Lu waited quietly in the meadow, and after a while, he gently blew his pheasant flute two or three times.
Lu Lu had heard a lot of the crows of pheasants and was very familiar with them.
Unexpectedly, I couldn't control my breath this time, and the pheasant flute made a cracking sound.
Moreover, Yuanbao was just outside the cellar, and he didn't bark. He was clearly an acquaintance.
Currently, there are only three people who can make Yuanbao remember the smell and stop barking, Aunt Duan, Wang Demin and Chen Xiuyu.
Thinking of this, a smile filled Lu Lu's face. He had already guessed who was here.
